Seeing the woman stop in front of the curtain, the two of them didn't think much and followed the other's orders and walked in.
However, to their surprise, they originally thought that the woman called "divineer" by the store clerk would perform fortune-telling for Villafa herself. Unexpectedly, there was a fortune teller sitting behind the curtain who was similar in stature to a woman, wearing a robe with a star and moon pattern and a black cloth on his head.
"Is this...?" Atoris was obviously startled when she saw this. If the woman hadn't walked in a step later, she would have thought that the other party had teleported in front of her.
"Twin sisters?" Compared to Artolis who didn't respond quickly, Vera Pharaoh turned her attention to the woman who came in later and seemed a little surprised by it.
"Sheila, please go out. I will fulfill the request of this guest."
Compared to the woman behind her, whose words were full of force, the tone of the guy in front of her sounded gentler. But precisely because of this, this guy's temperament made Artolis even more wary of him.
"Is that so? Okay, I understand." The woman behind did not ask for details, but after understanding the other party's wishes, she consciously withdrew from the dark court.
"What's the difference between you and the fortune teller just now?" As he watched the woman leave, Villafa did not intend to delve into the doubts in his heart, but asked straight to the point of the person in front of him.
"There is no fundamental difference between my level and Sheila's. The reason why I temporarily stepped forward to replace Sheila as your fortune teller is just out of my personal interest." She said, revealing herself without being covered by the headband. A mysterious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
She behaved frivolously and revealed the real names of Artoris and Villafa, making them immediately wary. Artoris even pulled out the spirit sword from the void and entered a state of combat readiness in advance.
"How do you know our identities?" With a bit of hostility, Villafa asked in a tentative tone as he locked eyes on the woman in front of him.
"Don't be surprised, you two. My name is Shia, the God of Order - the original sage of Crofernis. Knowing your true names is the result of divination in the past."
"Sage of the God of Order, are you the new god?" Listening to the other party's comforting words, Artolis's mind did not calm down, but became tense.
After all, she had had contact with the sage of the God of Light in the past, and that guy was not a good person. When the woman named Shia suddenly revealed her identity, Artoris was really frightened.
Now that Baron is not present, it is absolutely impossible for the two of them to compete with the gods in terms of combat power. Moreover, this is the city's trade center. If a fight breaks out here, it's unknown how many innocent people will be harmed. Just thinking of this, Artolis's hands holding the sword trembled unconsciously.
"No, Artolis, she is not the New God."
Villafa's words calmed Artoris, and at the same time seeing the tense attitude between the two on the other side, Shia immediately understood the truth.
"Even among the sages, there are very few who have become new gods, and I do not have that powerful power, so naturally I am not one of them. But judging from the looks of the two of you, the title of sage gives you Did you leave a bad impression?"
"More than just a bad impression, my companions and I almost died at the hands of the sage of the God of Light several times." If the Dragon God is not included, Sage Sheen is the only one they have come into contact with so far. The strongest enemy, it is precisely because of the lessons learned from the past that Artoris is hostile to this name.
But in comparison, Verafa is more discerning. Although he should be the one who hates the sage the most, he may be more or less influenced by Barong because he has been a contracted beast for many years. Therefore, before the other party showed hostility, his attitude towards the other party was just to remain vigilant.
"I see. I'm really sorry. It brought back bad memories for you two. It's my fault." Shia lowered her head and expressed her apology.
Seeing this, Artolis and Villafa looked at each other, and indeed there was no obvious hostility in the other's words and deeds. Moreover, the other party specifically emphasized that his identity had nothing to do with the New Gods, almost indicating that his power did not pose much of a threat to them.
Such a sincere attitude would be a bit unjustifiable if he was pointed at with a sword again. So, retaining a vigilant attitude, Artolis put away the spirit sword, handed over the home court to Villafa, and entered a non-active wait-and-see state.
"It's okay, you did nothing wrong."
"I feel honored to be forgiven by Lord Villafa."
"There is no need to be polite. I am frankly out of curiosity. What benefit will it bring to you in foreseeing our arrival?" Villafa crossed her arms and crossed her chest, asking with the momentum of an older generation.
"As you can see, I am just a diviner. After all, divination is not a simple prediction. Although I have foreseen your arrival and know your identity, that is all. The remnant of Crofernis Xiang asked me to personally divine your destiny, and the result will be pros and cons, which can only be known from now on."
"In other words, is it the will of the God of Order to divine for us? Is our destiny so important?" Artolis was a little confused. The only thing she understood was that it seemed that it was originally only for Villafa to divine, but now It seems that he has also obtained the qualification.
"It seems like I've said too much. I think it's better to start the divination ceremony right away before noon."
Shia said, lifting up the black cloth in front of her which even Atoris had not noticed and blending in with the environment. A sky-blue crystal ball shimmered in her cupped hands.
"If you can trust me, then come forward."
Listening to what the other party said, Artolis and Villafa looked at each other, and then Villafa took the first step and stepped forward.
"What should I do?"
"Meditate in front of the crystal ball and silently recite in your mind what you need to divine."
Verafa did as he was told, and then Artolis saw from the side that Shia silently recited an unknown spell in her mouth, and then pure white cloud shadows appeared on the crystal ball.
At first, the cloud shadows were just changing irregularly, but suddenly all the cloud shadows were dyed black in an instant, and this sight made Shia frown.
"...The sea fell on the ear, a chain crossbow arrow pierced the mind, the intention was to deduce the first-born witness, and the progressive gaze was placed in the crystal desalination tomb..."
Shia spoke as if whispering.
Every word she spoke connected to each other, but there was no logic at all.
Artoris, as a bystander, could not understand this, but the sky dragon who was in the middle of the ceremony opened his eyes wide as if he had seen some horrifying sight.
Artolis saw a line of cold sweat slowly sliding down his forehead...
