Chapter 15 Divination
Annick bought three second-class carriage tickets for himself and his two sisters, and they stood in twos and threes on the platform.
People waiting for the train. People of different classes standing in different carriages.
"Young man, can you help me a little later?" A low and hoarse voice came from behind.
Annick followed the direction of the sound, and saw an old gentleman with gray hair and clothes carrying an exaggeratedly large suitcase. This was a hint that he would help carry the suitcase onto the train.
"I'm very happy to help, please wait a moment." After answering, Annick handed his luggage to the two sisters and picked up the old man's luggage.
After the tired half-dead gang got on the train and put their luggage away, the old man happened to be sitting next to the three brothers and sisters, and they started chatting with them.
The old gentleman was so well-informed that he turned the two younger sisters into fangirls. Annick felt that it would be a pity if the old gentleman did not become a stand-up comedian on earth.
"Do you want to do divination?" The old man took out a small crystal ball from his pocket, "I learned this when I was young. I occasionally use it to play with it, just to relieve my boredom on the road."
Annick doesn't believe in these things, even though this world is not very scientific.
But experience tells me that most of the so-called divination and prophecy are just ambiguous words, or words about your future that are difficult to verify in the short term. Most witches and wizards are more good at observing words and emotions.
But everyone is in high spirits, so we can’t ruin the atmosphere.
Annick sat opposite the old gentleman. The old gentleman placed the crystal ball on a piece of linen cloth, lit four wax torches and placed them in the four directions of the crystal ball.
"First meditate on the few questions you want to ask in front of the crystal ball. Don't say them out loud and think about other questions."
While Annick was thinking silently about whether he could return to Earth, he also thought about whether his future police work would go smoothly, and whether he could make a small fortune here.
"Okay, you can ask questions now." The old gentleman looked at Annick through the crystal ball. "Well, the first one is that I have a wish in my heart. Due to personal privacy reasons, I can't say it clearly, but can it be realized in the future?
Maybe?" Annick asked.
"Second brother, are you unrequitedly in love with a certain lady? Hahaha, I didn't expect nerds to be boring." Irina laughed at her side.
"The crystal ball is churning with black, so it will be difficult for your wish to come true."
It seems that the road home is long. "Second question, will my future work go smoothly?"
"This time the color is blue. Your work should go smoothly and you may be promoted within half a year." The old man said with a smile.
I haven’t been promoted in six years on earth, how can I be promoted in this half year? If I didn’t miss my fat house and my parents on earth, I really want to stay here. "Third, will I get rich in the future?"
"This time is special, with gold and gray intertwined. You will have many opportunities to get rich in the future, but for various reasons, you will either spend the money quickly or give up on your own initiative." The old man's expression became serious this time.
.
It seems that he is still a poor man here. Although I don't believe it, I am afraid that I will not be able to make a fortune with my mediocre mentality.
"No more questions, let's do it for you." Irena and Irina took over and played the divination game.
With a companion this time, the two-hour journey went very quickly, and we arrived at Eggsburg Station at one o'clock in the afternoon.
Annick continued to play the role of a tool man, and after helping the old man carry his luggage, he took his two sisters to find the public carriage platform.
"Young man, come here again. I have something else to say to you?"
This doesn't mean that I need to help him carry his luggage home, nor can I just follow a sheep to death.
Although he wanted to go back to Annick, he showed a very friendly expression and trotted over.
The old gentleman put his hand on the side of his mouth, put his ear to his ear and said softly to Annick:
"Young man, the state of your soul in your body is very special. Although ordinary people cannot see it, people who are special enough can see it at a glance. You are like a sun hanging on a group of fireflies."
Annick was immediately alert and fearful. The effect of the potion given by the light ball was so obvious?
"What are you talking about? I don't understand very well. I'm just an ordinary college student who just graduated." Annick said trying to calm down and calm down.
"Relax, I don't mean any harm. Seeing how enthusiastic you are, I'll give you a pendant. You'll be fine if you just keep it."
After speaking, he took out an ordinary-looking silver-white pendant from his pocket, with a white string threaded through it.
"How much, I'll pay you." Annick blurted out subconsciously, thinking that in some temples or scenic spots there would be vendors selling various handicrafts under the guise of various words.
"Haha, no money. Just answer a question after you achieve something in the future. Regarding the soul issue, you will naturally cover it up after you become a transcendent. This is not a gift. I consider it an early investment."
The old gentleman handed the pendant to himself and said, "Go back quickly, your two sisters are waiting for you."
After Annick got the pendant, the old gentleman and his luggage disappeared in a trance. He rubbed his eyes and felt that he was dreaming.
But the cold pendant in his hand reminded him that this was not a dream. Annick walked back to the carriage platform thinking about it.
"What's wrong? Why do you feel so distracted? Do you have a fever?" Iilena asked, touching Anike's head.
"It's okay, let's talk about it when we get back." Annick said, pretending that nothing happened.
Annick was playing with this mysterious pendant on the public carriage. It was a round card made of silver-white metal. The front was made up of three line segments intersecting at the center of the round card. The round card was evenly divided into six equal parts.
There are three forked branches at the top.
It looked like a simple drawing of a snowflake, and Annick recognized it as the holy symbol of the God of Winter. On the back was a five-pointed star with a circle inside it.
The silver metal keeps feeling slightly cold to the touch. The weight of a small round medal is heavier than the common gold Bruguet coins of similar size, and the color is more like a silver shilling coin. It seems that this old gentleman must be a believer of the winter god.
