"It's like a manor on the way, full of flowers, full of laughter, carefree, and as warm as home."
"So this card..."
Atoris originally wanted to listen to what the other party said, but Shia didn't seem to have this intention. Just like before, she just stated the meaning of the cards in general and stopped talking.
With her raised palm, she elegantly signaled Artolis to clear her mind and select the last tarot card that could form the array.
On the afternoon of the rest day, you step into Walihara Fresh Food Restaurant as usual. This is a century-old restaurant. It is a rare pleasure for you to enjoy the ancient atmosphere that is very contemporary.
"Fish bladder! Why is there a fish bladder?"
The weirdo with the head of a tilapia sits across from you, burying his head that smells of salted fish into a dinner plate and chewing furiously. It ate 3.26 kilograms of sardines, and it evolved.
It grew a second head. It raised its head and pressed the black button on its belt with its weird hand covered in sauce - "Beep!" It switched to a pair of blue titanium overalls.
It ate a large red mushroom with white spots and tripled in size as it began to devour the diners around it.
And you, as usual, pick up the knife and fork and calmly eat the fresh meat on the plate. You close your eyes and immerse yourself in the jazz that was popular a hundred years ago.
You enjoy the comfort of the afternoon, this moment belongs only to you...
Artolis turns over the last card, and the protagonist in the picture is lying down, with his hands clasped on his chest as if praying. The stained window in the upper left corner reveals the background information of the church he is in.
A square space is separated from the wall on the character's upper body. Three sharp swords are located here as if they are hanging. The sword tips are pointing downwards at the three parts of the character's head, neck and chest. There is also a sword lying horizontally under his bed. A sword, this is the composition of this card.
"Four of Swords..." Combining the characteristics of the previous two cards, Artolis quickly came up with the name of this card based on her own judgment.
"One Major Arcana card and two Minor Arcana cards." Shia took the last Tarot card handed over by Artolis, combined the Holy Triangle card array, and then fell into contemplation for a moment.
Seeing this, Villafa, who thought a strange phenomenon was about to happen, also came forward to find out. However, after waiting for a while, there was no movement, which made him somewhat confused.
He saw that above the array of tarot cards, the aqua blue magic materialized three words.
"Current situation" "Opportunity" "Choice"
"What... does this mean?" Facing the fortune teller in front of him, he asked the question on Artoris' behalf.
"The meaning of the cards is closely related to the questions raised by the object of divination. Here we might as well return to the problems that arose in the last divination. The reason why the crystal ball failed was precisely because of Miss Grandpup's prayer. Hopefully, the cause and effect involved far exceeds the "foreseeable" threshold of the magic power of the crystal ball. You need to know that the divination abilities of Sheila and I are gifts from the God of Order. Even the great magician Ryder, who is involved in many causes and effects, can accurately predict his fate. "Shia said, raising her head and looking at Artoris who fell into silence.
"Actually, there is no need for me to explain. The Tarot cards have already told you the answer."
"Do you mean those three hallucinations?" Artoris asked following the gaze of the other party's crimson right eye.
"Yes." Shia nodded: "But that is not an illusion, but a puzzle. If you are willing, I can tell you the direction of divination based on my own experience, but with all due respect, that is meaningless. As a sage from Crofernis and the most skilled diviner in the empire, I can responsibly say that true divination has nothing to do with metaphysics. No matter in what form, the information obtained is "foreseeing", and his foresight It is both visionary and real. "
Shia said as she put her right hand on her chest, bowed her head and knelt down. She conveyed her joy in a solemn tone and spoke words of unknown meaning.
"Tyanist will eventually usher in the ending I foresee, destruction, sadness and darkness, but even in the dark nights when countless babies cry, there will still be dull moonlight illuminating this land. And Ato Liz Grandpup, you know, you are the only variable."
"The only variable...?" Artolis didn't understand what the other party meant.
"I'm sorry, my power is limited and I can't give you more explanations and help. If you want to understand the future you are destined to reach, you might as well solve the mystery. But before that, you should solve the current problem first. It’s a better situation.”
"The current situation?"
Villafa closed his eyes. Within the range of his perception, a group of forces was gathering outside the divination office, and their target was himself and Artolis who were present.
…
As soon as Artolis and Villafa walked out of the store, a group of imperial troops wearing armor and holding weapons came and surrounded them.
Although the visitor was unkind, in the eyes of the two of them, the other party was just a bunch of fish with less than level 130 strength. Not to mention Villafa, Artoris alone could easily defeat them.
But after all, the newcomers were regular troops of the empire. Before understanding the current situation, neither of them planned to act rashly. Of course, if the other party made the first move, Artolis would naturally not mind showing off her fists. At most, it would be It's just not easy to explain from Garius' side.
"Since everyone is so aggressive, can you explain what you are doing?"
There was a large number of imperial troops surrounding this place, and the surrounding people, including the clerks and guards of the divination shop, hid in distant places to watch.
Villafa's words were quite shocking. He took a step forward, and a powerful wave of air spread outward. Even though his aura had been restrained above this, the indescribable sense of oppression still made the imperial troops ten meters away from him unable to raise their heads.
No one chose to speak. Here, Artolis saw a woman whose armor was obviously different from that of a regular soldier, walking forward from the rear of the army.
The armor on the woman's body highlights her body curves and is obviously tailor-made. She wears a medal with the imperial symbol on her chest. Artorius had seen a similar pattern on the sword of Garius before, but it was different. In comparison, women's badges are more ornate.
If Galius's identity in the Kot Gama Empire was that of a leader in the imperial army, then the identity of the woman in front of him must be at least the level of a legion commander.
The woman walked up to the two of them step by step despite the pressure of Villafa. She put her hand on the side of her neck and gently pushed up the long red hair.
"Senior Villafa, this guy is the army commander of the empire. She is here to beg us."
Then, with Artoris's blunt words, she stumbled and fell in front of the two of them.
"..."
