When Amber woke up and looked out the window, it seemed to be dark.

He got up a little lazily, but then saw him napping at the desk in his room...... No, the girl who was sitting at the desk seemed to be trying to resist sleepiness.

"Ahh......h......h

He approached the girl, apparently unaware. So he leaned in slightly and observed the girl's sleeping face.

"I really fell asleep like that...... It's really difficult. "Amber had this strange thing on his mind.

"Sophia, why don't you go to sleep when you're sleepy?" he patted the girl's back gently.

"Ah...... Ahh She jumped straight to her feet in fright, causing Amber to smile apologetically. "I actually fell asleep too......"

She rubbed her eyes, "No, Dad said let me stay with you all the time." As soon as you entered the room, you collapsed and fell asleep, what can I do......"

"I don't know what Daddy was thinking...... she thought something strange, and she seemed to be a little shy and muttered.

"Ah, by the way, you're probably hungry too, aren't you? Let's go get something to eat......" she digressed the subject, "although the Great Cathedral was destroyed, the surrounding streets were saved by the gods in time, so the restaurant is still there, hahaha." Although the current plague has also made places like restaurants empty every day, not a single customer ...... But it's good that if we go out to eat, we won't be noisy. ”

......

Amber thought back to how he had come to the Great Sanctuary to volunteer as a hot brain.

It is a city built around the Great Church, and there is no independent name, so people call this church city directly the Great Holy Church.

This is the birthplace of the plague, and if you get infected...... Moreover, the residence of the manpower on this side of the kingdom is close to the temporary residence of the Holy See, which is really close to the ruins of the Holy Church......

After all, I'm still a cultist, and I should be able to help more people when I come here, so I'm here to come......

That said, but one of the purposes of this place is to investigate if there really is any supernatural activity.

Although I thought so, when I came here, the atmosphere was really not peaceful.

Some people look at themselves with dead eyes, while others are twisted and excited like doomsday carnivals.

The clergy of the Holy See did their best to pacify the populace...... However, they themselves seem to have a relationship.

Plagues do not distinguish between holiness and vileness.

It is interesting that people who were born unequal and can never be equal finally ushered in equality in the face of the plague...... of death.

The Holy See seems to have fallen into a certain agitated atmosphere, but the mere destruction of churches should not have had such a huge impact, and it does not seem to be all plague.

Perhaps somewhere, unknown to others, something happened that had a big impact on the church.

Unbeknownst to Amber, he saw his father's comrade-in-arms, but found that Uncle Brian, who was as heroic as his father, seemed to be a little blessed.

Before his father's death, the two families were in constant contact.

His father died in the hero, leaving only the royal family's compensation - a knighthood of nobility to himself.

Uncle Brian was lucky enough to survive, and now he is also a decorated general.

But he knew that his father did not only leave behind the poor title and compensation......

My father was a valiant soldier who performed numerous feats on the battlefield and was martyred at a critical moment to save the people.

He was also the source of his almost obstinate sense of justice: he had been teaching Amber this way before his death, leading by example, and finally giving his life for it.

If you don't inherit this belief, it's like denying your father's life.

The will he left behind is the most precious treasure.

Even if it is said that it is a little flute, a little stupid......

But if a person loses the perseverance in his heart, is he still a human being?

Amber's mind diverged.

At that time, I was surprised to see this girl named Sophia next to the general.

Furthermore, I don't know how to deal with it.

As the daughter of Uncle Brian, she grew up with herself.

Before his father died, Shang still jokingly said that he wanted the two to get engaged.

When his father died, his grieving comrades-in-arms haunted him and talked about it for a long time.

However, even so, Uncle Brian led the army outside, and he followed his mother to the small town of his hometown, and he gradually had little contact in recent years.

So Amber couldn't understand whether the joke was still counting.

Either way, it was a little awkward to meet.

......

When the two of them arrived at the restaurant, the bored owner was counting the lines on the bar. There are no waiters. The chef was probably in the back kitchen, but he didn't hear a little bit of life.

Amber even wondered if the boss was a dead man, too, because he could hear it, and all he could hear was Sophia's slightly nervous breathing.

There were no customers in the restaurant, except for the two of them.

Sensing Sophia's nervousness, Amber subconsciously put his arm around her shoulders and asked first, "Boss, what else can you cook here?"

"Eh, uh, I, I'm ......" Sophia almost jumped again, but then whispered.

The boss was finally awakened and made a courteous cameo appearance as a waiter.

After they ordered, they waited quietly for the moment when the food was served.

Sophia seemed to be more and more shy and at a loss because of Amber's actions, and kept her head down and didn't speak.

......He poked the placemat lightly with a fork, and then turned his head very seriously and asked Sophia, "Sophia, why are you so nervous?"

"No, no,......" she retorted, but after a moment of silence, she seemed to finally muster up the courage to say—

Amber heard a noise coming from the deserted street. It doesn't stop all the way.

Then he turned his head and saw a caravan parked not far from the restaurant. Sophia's words were buried in the sound of the car.

When he turned back, Amber noticed that Sophia was not speaking. He scratched his head and continued to wait for the meal.

......

The two finished their meal in some silence and walked out.

Inside the caravan, a gypsy woman dressed as a soothsayer walks down and comes to you.

"This gentleman, take the liberty of bothering. I see a very special future in you. ”

"Do you want to see your future...... I saw the faith on the bumpy road, the devotion like a moth to a fire......" said the soothsayer.

"I don't charge a fee, but the price of a glimpse into the future is heavy. ”

"It will lead you to a more glorious life, but it will not end well. ”

The woman's voice came faintly, echoing softly through the silent street.

"Would you like to see your future?"

"Well, Sophia, do you know her?" Amber's first instinct was not to listen to what she had to say, but to poke Sophia next to her and ask if she had seen her in the city.

"I didn't ...... I haven't seen ......" She looked at the soothsayer in front of her in confusion: "What are you talking about, this lady?"

"I don't understand...... And, why me, and not her?" he gestured to Sophia beside him.

"Good evening, gentleman and lovely young lady, for the record, I am a humble tarot soothsayer who loves to divinate people with strange fates. ”

"Because your fate is more ...... than this young lady Peculiar. Amber felt that the soothsayer was clearly thinking as he spoke, and he considered his words a little.

"You take risks and have an innocent heart, but it also makes your fate even more difficult. ”

"Of course, you can ignore me and leave, if you have no interest in exploring the future. ”

The soothsayer fell silent after speaking, waiting for Amber's reaction.

"That's really an interesting review for me...... But I still don't understand...... Actually, the answer I want to get is the kind of answer that is, 'You look like you have a little more money.'" But this time the money was paid by this young lady, and she is the landlord here. "Amber doesn't seem to believe in divination or anything like that.

"Ah...... I'm not asking for money, and I don't charge for it. Just peeking into the future naturally has its own price, and you need to bear it yourself in the years to come. ”

"Would you like to see your future? Of course, this young lady can also watch from the sidelines if she wishes. The soothsayer's expression remained silent.

“...... If you really have the ability to prophesy, why don't you just keep divining for yourself to the benefit of it?" Amber still didn't have any idea of believing it.

"The soothsayer cannot see his future. But I like to look at other people's futures, especially special ones. "It's probably a personal fetish," the soothsayer said with a smile.

"Then since you see my future, tell me directly, after all, it's just your interest, and you don't make money from it. Amber shook his head and replied.

"Well, it's like looking at a work of art—

"I just drew a card. The soothsayer didn't know where to conjure up a deck of tarot cards and quickly shuffle them, "Then let's start the six-pointed star array, the Great Arcana combination." ”

Amber felt the corners of his clothes be pulled nervously by Sophia.

"Tarot ...... Isn't that a pagan thing...... Amber, let's go quickly, don't listen to this strange woman's nonsense......"

“...... There's nothing to lose by listening. Amber rubbed his head.

”...... Huh?!" Sophia exclaimed quietly.

“...... Sophia, what's wrong?"

Well, this stunned man still didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his movements.

The soothsayer smiled and shook his head, and laid out the card array.

"Come on, uncover the ...... in turn"

The soothsayer first turned over the seventh card, "The positive star is a good omen, symbolizing the fulfillment of hopes and dreams." ”

"The fourth position is the reverse tower, which symbolizes the cause of things. The tower is one of the most feared of the tarot cards, and the reversed tower symbolizes total annihilation and zero. You'll be put to the test in the future, but the stars are still shining in the middle of the deck, and it's the hope of a new life after a major blow. I also saw in it the reincarnation of starting from scratch, but it was not a hopeless reincarnation. ”

"The number one is the righteous fool, symbolizing your past. You are a person who is full of dreams and has the courage to take risks. You have a valiant heart and are not afraid of sacrifice, and I have seen the shadow of such a man in your past. You follow his path, but watch your feet, the cliffs may be close at hand. ”

"The second position symbolizes your current condition. The soothsayer tapped the moon card with his fingertips, "The positive moon symbolizes helplessness, restlessness and anxiety. You don't know what you're afraid of, but there's something you can't be sure of right now that's holding you back. Indeed, as the fool instructed me, danger is at your feet, just a stone's throw away. You have felt it coming, and you are still hesitating how to face it. ”

"The number five symbolizes the environment you are in at the moment. The reversed world is not good news. It symbolizes the possibility of limitation, the irreparable situation, and so on. You are, or are about to be, in the midst of a great trial. ”

"Then let's see what your future holds......" the soothsayer turned over the third card, "the upright hangman." Indeed, you are such a person who has the courage to sacrifice. In the face of danger and difficulty, you will stand up, just as your ancestors did. You seem so small in the face of the difficulties you are about to face, there is nothing you can do but rise to them. It's a noble card, but it's also a sad card. You have been honored and regarded as a hero, but you have lost more than you have gained. ”

"Sixth...... Countermeasure. The soothsayer gently uncovered the sixth card, curling the corners of his mouth slightly when he saw the hermit, "The sixth card is my favorite hermit card. It will guide you in the way of escaping this predestined path. The soothsayer looked sympathetic for a moment.

"The Hermit is the oldest tarot card, he has a wealth of experience, and it symbolizes wisdom and introspection. It's all happening too fast for you, so slow down and take your time. You need to be more careful and do what you want to do, but you may want to tap into your inner energy. The stars shine in the center of the deck on your path. It's hard for me to decipher the origin of the imagery of rebirth and reincarnation in the array, but no matter how terrible the odds may be, you still have a glimmer of life and hold on to it...... Just like me. The last five words were whispered by the soothsayer, and no one could hear her muttering.

"So fast. Really said it......" Amber's expression was slightly shocked, but Sophia's expression became more and more worried. She tugged at Ambor's sleeve again, this time with a slight force. "Brother Amber, let's go quickly, and don't listen to her pagan words...... As long as we have God in our hearts, God will naturally guide our path, not through these pagan divinations. ”

Amber scratched his cheeks, then pondered, "Hey...... How to say that...... Actually, I'm telling you that I'm going to reject you for so long, but ...... Since there is really divination, I am still thankful and grateful. By the way, what was the pay you were talking about?"

"You don't have to pay for it, but you can get the consequences by looking into the future. The soothsayer still looked calm.

She put away her tarot cards, got into the caravan and left.

"Thank you......" Amber said in the direction the soothsayer had gone, then turned back to face Sophia.

"She doesn't seem to have any ill intentions, she's just a weirdo. Are we overly vigilant?"

Sophia became speechless again, and hurried back to the station with Amber in tow.
