Today's luck was very good. When one person and one cat arrived at the Prophet's Association, Miss Anat was in the association. They met in the special fortune-telling room on the second floor of the association.
There is no need to worry about eavesdropping in this room. After all, the content of divination usually involves privacy, so the sound insulation effect is very good.
"Detective, I think the reason why you came to me specifically is not as simple as 'divining when the pet cat will return to its owner'."
Luvia Anat wore her own clothes even in the association, but hung the Ouroboros symbol on her chest to identify herself. As for the cat divination content, Shade casually thought of it on the way here.
"Meow~"
Mia lay on Shade's lap, looking at the unfamiliar room with wide eyes. This cat preferred indoors to outdoors.
"I came to see you the day before yesterday, but you were not here. I met your president."
Shade continued, Miss Anat was very interested in this topic and wanted to know what Shade's divination was about, but Shade just said it briefly and quickly jumped to what he really wanted to say:
"Can you please introduce me to Miss Bayas quickly? No matter how good your work is, I will almost become best friends with her. I am very worried now. When our purpose is known to her, what will happen?"
One day, will she get so angry that she just punches me?"
"Have you met her again recently?"
"It wasn't me who met her, it was she who met me. First four days ago on Sunday night, I went to play cards again."
Miss Anat looked at him suspiciously, and Shade skipped the process of Rhodes cards and talked about the bones of the Inferi and four questions.
"At that time, our relationship was already considered as friends. Then two days ago on Tuesday, I came here to find you. I saw her on the way home. She went to No. 6 Saint Teresa Square to escape the summer heat, and she returned it when she left.
My."
Taking out the brooch that can use the disposable "sunshine gun", Miss Anat took it in her hand and looked at it, and couldn't help but marveled:
"Although I have always known that the power of the chosen ones is extremely powerful, I did not expect that she would be able to make such a thing before she fully obtained all the power."
"The problem now is not this. The problem now is, Miss Anat, if things don't go smoothly on your side, why not let me introduce you to Miss Bayas, and then reveal the things about the chosen one?
Isn’t it better?”
He suggested that in this way there would be no deception by Shade, but Miss Anat hiding something from Miss Bayas.
She did hesitate for a moment at Shade's proposal, but she still shook her head:
"Sorry, Shade, I still have to make the plan. I paid the price for divination to get the best way to gain her trust. The method the divination told me is for me to execute the plan."
"Oh well."
Xia De said helplessly and did not insist:
"I have a clue about the location of the Silver Eyed One. I can't say the source of the information, but it is absolutely reliable. He is hiding in the underground ruins that contain the sage-level relic [God's Gift Box]. I will mark the location of the ruins for you later.
On the map, the location was obtained by Dr. Schneider, which involves the adventure on Monday’s rainy night. If you are interested, I can tell you.”
"Did you find out? Oh, Shade, is your life always so colorful?"
The female fortune teller was a little surprised, and then said:
"Obviously I came to you to cooperate, but now it's you who help me. Shade, I won't say much more about my thanks. There will always be a day when you can get a gift from me."
Miss Anat has not been idle these days. She is planning to conduct a costly divination. Originally, she wanted to divine the location of the person with silver eyes, so as to further contact Miss Bayas. Although now she has obtained the answer directly.
, but the divination still has to be carried out, and the content is the last condition for Miss Bayas to truly become the chosen one.
There are three conditions required to become the chosen one. The understanding of "balance" can only be achieved by Miss Bayas herself. The items containing the power of the ancient gods have already received clues from Old John. Miss Anat said that after obtaining them, she will
Shade was told at once. Only the final conditions, completing the specific ritual were not yet clear.
The purple-eyed female diviner still hasn't told Shade what price she has to pay to perform such accurate divination. But for things like divination that involve the witch's great prophecies, the price to pay is probably not small.
But according to her, the divination can be performed probably this weekend. Afterwards, Shade will be introduced to Miss Bayas, and then Miss Bayas will be made the real chosen one, completing the entire content of the first section.
The plan is very good, and it sounds like it can be completed this week. Shade hopes that there will be no accidents, but everyone knows that the possibility of no accidents is almost non-existent.
After talking about Miss Bayas, Shade pinched the waist of the cat Mia and picked it up with both hands. The lazy cat knew that Shade would not hurt it, so it did not resist.
"Miss Anat, there is actually one more thing. I want you to help me divine Mia. No, it is not about predicting when it will return to Miss Mia Gold. I want to know whether it is a normal animal.
cat."
"Meow?"
The cat squirmed in Shade's hands, but it wasn't struggling, it was just enjoying the fun.
"Why do you think so?"
Miss Anat put down the tea cup and reached out to hug the small orange cat. But the cat's paw slapped her hand away. Miss Anat was a little surprised and looked at Shade with a funny expression.
Shade was a little worried:
"It has been acting smarter and smarter recently. This may be my misunderstanding, but it does not rule out that there is really a problem. Can it be used for divination? Ordinary divination is fine."
"Of course there is no problem. Although I have never divined for pets, I think it is no problem."
This time Miss Anat used a more traditional card divination. Because the cat couldn't choose the cards, she asked Shade to hold the cat's paw to help choose. A total of three cards were selected. Anat shook her head after reading them:
"No problem, your cat is indeed a cat. At least that's what I think."
"Meow~"
Mia's claws broke away from Shade's hand and she screamed dissatisfied with him.
"That's good."
Shade breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked:
"So when will it return to its owner? Just give me an answer. After all, this is the reason why I came to the association to find you."
"Do you want it to leave you?"
The fortune teller asked while holding a tea cup, with a smile in his purple eyes. Shade thought for a while and shook his head decisively:
"If possible, of course I want Mia to be by my side all the time. But after all, it is someone else's cat..."
"Well, my answer is, it will stay with you forever."
Miss Anat is really understanding.
After leaving the Prophet's Association, Shade walked to Quill Avenue. When he arrived at Miss Louisa's rented apartment, it was already eleven o'clock in the morning. Pedestrians on the street were in groups, and they seemed to be from nearby universities.
s student.
This reminded Shade that the academic report mentioned in the newspaper he saw at Captain Rades' house last week seemed to be on Friday, that is, tomorrow. It happened that he didn't have any schedule on Friday yet, so it would be okay
Consider attending to learn about the development of materialistic physics in the steam age when real occultism existed.
Because he didn't write a letter to visit in advance, Shade was still a little worried that Miss Louisa was not at home. But after the landlady who opened the door saw Shade's face, she turned back and shouted upstairs. This showed that the blonde
girl at home.
They still entertained Shade in the living room, but unlike Dr. Schneider who thought something had happened again when he saw Shade, Miss Louisa saw the young detective and thought he was here to ask questions.
"Yes, I just came to ask a question."
After controlling the cat, Shade took out two leaves. The only person who knew the secret of his time travel was Miss Louisa, so he came to ask her specifically.
I roughly explained the situation, without mentioning the witch and the words of sublimation. I wanted Miss Louisa to give me some help on how to use the two leaves. Originally, I was just trying my luck, but after looking at the two leaves, Miss Louisa decided
The answer was given directly:
"I know how to use this."
She lazily sat on the red single sofa holding a tea cup.
"Um?"
"Shadow, haven't you heard of the fairy tale "Kiss from the Tree"?"
the blond writer asked.
"No."
He shook his head decisively. Although the character setting of "awakening from blindness and ignorance" did not give him the memory of the original owner in the past, it also gave him a reason for not being familiar with common sense.
"This is also a very famous fairy tale. I still remember that when I was a child, my mother often hugged me at night and told me these stories under gaslight."
A smile appeared on Miss Louisa's lips, but she quickly walked out of her memories and told Shade the slightly sad story:
"The answer you want is in this story, please listen patiently:
This is the story of the friendship between an old tree and a girl. Princess Taweil was betrayed by her parents and lover, and was exiled to the terrifying Black Forest. Finally, she encountered a strange giant tree deep in the forest.
When she was hungry, the giant tree gave her fruit;
When she was thirsty, the giant tree gave her dew;
When she feels lonely, the wind plays music among the treetops;
When she is tired, the tree house hidden among the branches and leaves gives her safety and warmth.
So the girl stayed with the tree for a long time, singing to it under the tree in her free time, or leaning against it and telling her own stories. Time passed by, and no one saw the princess again, and one day, her cruel parents wanted to
To find her.
But people only found a mummy hidden in the trunk of a giant hollow tree deep in the forest. They will be together forever."
Miss Louisa had a beautiful voice, and she put her emotions into the story when she told the story. She was very satisfied with her performance. After pausing for a while to give Shade some time to reflect, she asked with some anticipation:
"How's the story?"
Shade's first reaction was that he definitely did not bring this story from his hometown. But he could not say this, so he could only express his second reaction:
"Hmm...won't children feel scared listening to this kind of story?"
