The tent was full of magical colors.

Noya was draped in an almost transparent golden veil, covering her head and face, revealing only a pair of bright dark eyes and a small and straight nose, kneeling upright in the middle of the tent.

Opposite her knelt a middle-aged lady with a black veil covering her face, and Lorraine couldn't see clearly, and she didn't need to see clearly.

In the middle of them lay a low table of ebony wood, large with a golden ratio.

Twenty-two candles were placed in strange and irregular distances in the four corners, two shiny hollow short swords on the short side, four conch-shaped crystal cups filled with water were placed on the four corners, and a dark purple crystal ball of destiny was set up with a small ball stand near Noah.

Purple tent, purple crystal ball, no other colors in the tent, only the bright yellow candle flame through various refractions converged in the crystal ball, through the hair staining, in the tent cast a thick or light strange color spots, becoming the transition between purple and orange.

Lorraine respectfully handed the box to Madame, placed it on the ground, took the opportunity to exchange a look with Noah, and then silently retreated into the shadow of the tent, silent as a shadow.

A shallow smile hung on Noah's face.

"Madame, please open the box, take out the Great Arcana inside, and wash the silver medal on the table with your appeal to God."

Madame did as she was told, and took out from the box a pair of luxurious tarot cards made of real silver alloy and colored with mineral paint, twenty-two in all, which was what Noah called the Great Arcana.

She began to shuffle the cards, reverently breaking up all the cards, then folding them back and laying them flat in the center of the table.

Noah stretched out his hand and stroked the air above the card, obviously not touching the card, but the closed card spread out like a feather fan.

This magical scene made Madame almost bow down.

Her breathing became heavy before she was about to ask, when Noah suddenly said, "Madam, meditate." I am but the tongue of God, and all glory be to my Lord. ”

Madame calmed down for a moment.

She looked at Noah gratefully and asked softly, "Priest, do I need to speak my mind?" ”

"You just have to speak to the Lord. He'll tell me the answer, right on the cards you set off. ”

The lady was more religious, and tremblingly, took three cards from them, and laid them upside down on the table.

Noah swept them with the veil of her sleeve, and the three cards were turned up in order in front of the lady, and the priestess, the empress, and the tower, all reversed.

Generally speaking, the reversal represents error and negation, and the lady's face changes.

But Noya's voice is as soft as ever, and it calms people's minds.

She said, "It looks like you're in trouble, ma'am. Now hopefully, tell the Lord what you think and expect, and draw three more cards. ”

Madame took a deep breath, her outstretched hand trembling more and more.

She picked out three more, neatly lined up under the original three, and Noah lifted it with her sleeve veil as always, with a gentle movement, full of occult qualities, elusive, unpredictable.

The hermit and lover who is on the throne, and the pope who is on the throne.

She smiled slightly, and took back the remaining cards with her hands, still hanging in the air, still not touching any of the cards.

The lady knew that the divination was over, and her breathing became heavy again.

Noah looked at her quietly, clasped her hands, and began to caress the crystal ball of fate in a peculiar rhythm.

The dark purple crystal balls flickered in her hands, smeared with psychedelic colors, and the candles were extinguished one by one, and soon only six were left, and the candlesticks were written with Roman numerals, [II.], [III.], [V.], [VI.], [IX.], and [V.], which happened to be the serial numbers of the six cards.

Noah sighed wearily and said in a fluttering, ethereal voice, "I know your doubts and expectations, ma'am. ”

The lady was completely convinced, and bowed her noble head deeply in front of Noah: "Please guide me, priest. ”

"Your love is being challenged, it's changing, your reason doesn't agree with this change, but there's a way out in your heart that you can't find a solution."

"I wanted a baby, but God took my rights."

"Don't be anxious, ma'am, the Lord will close the door and open the window." Noah's voice drifted farther and farther away, "You need to reflect and ask what you think in your heart, even if it is contrary to tradition and your upbringing since childhood. It takes time for a new relationship to form, but it can also bring hope to your life. ”

"What should I do, priest?"

"You will have a healthy and intelligent child, who was conceived in your veins, but now drifts down a branch of the river of blood. He's your child, don't let him slip away from your hand and catch him. ”

"Catch him?"

The candle flame goes out!

The remaining candle flames were suddenly extinguished at the same time, and the dark tent suddenly became pitch black, and Lorraine immediately opened the two layers of heavy enclosures inside and outside, and the sky light came in, exposing everything to the light.

The cards on the table disappeared, either drawn by the lady or undrawn.

They stacked them back and retracted the mahogany box, the mouth wide open and neat.

Noah lay weakly on the table, her chest panting violently, and her face flushed strangely.

She still had a compassionate smile on her face, and slowly, word by word, she said to Madame, "Madam, may you find the right path and have a happy life." ”

……

Everything is on track.

Beautiful Carmen. On the third day of the divination, Miss Xavier was taken out of the country farm by Madame and blatantly moved into the Viscount's estate in the name of caring for the infirm Madame.

It's just that I don't know if the three of them are in the same hospital, and it is Carmen in the end. Xavier's dove occupies the magpie's nest, or the lady borrows the belly to get a child, and tastes the wish.

At the Viscount's suggestion, Lorraine attended a reception in the upper echelons of Bermeo, where he had a great deal with the six gentlemen of the Council.

The next day, he resubmitted his application for residency to the Management Committee and was granted the qualification with seven votes.

Two days later, again at Mr. Frey's tacky exchange, his glassware was sold at an average of £5.5 per box, and then he bought a consignment of genuinely fine American tobacco at £1.2 per kilogram.

The triangular trade route in northwest Europe, which he had in mind, was finally dredged.

From now on, the Artis Beauty will sail along the oily offshore route of Bermeo-Elgin Stavanger, making huge profits for Lorraine and the future Chamber of Commerce.

The sought-after goods of the New World, the spirits of Scotland, and the luxury of Northern Europe will become the capital that will set sail in this era, earning him his first pot of gold.

On a sunny morning, the Artis Belmere slowly sailed away from the calm harbor of Bermeo, turned around in the vast Bay of Biscay, and hoisted its sails, its bow pointing straight to the distant island of Britain.

Lorraine, Noah, and Whiteear stood side by side on the deck of the stern, watching the Roma waving goodbye on the docks disappear into the far reaches of the horizon.

Lorraine rubbed Noya's black hair fiercely: "You told them they didn't have to leave Spain, did you?" ”

Noah wrinkled her beautiful nose: "The Roma like to wander, but they don't like to wander in strange places. We are a group of freedom-loving people, not a group of people who have lived enough. ”

"You've left all the money for divination to them, haven't you?"

"Wandering needs money! Without money, they can only steal, be hated by the locals, and wander to strange places. ”

"But they wanted to kill you, didn't they?"

"But in the end, we reconciled." Noah rubbed her round chin with white ears, and her big eyes smiled like a crescent moon, "My cousins gave up the crystal ball of destiny and gave me back my dress, organ, and silver tarot. Together, they prayed to fate that I would be blessed with good luck in my future wanderings. It's all the captain's work! ”

"A little girl who is easy to forget revenge." Lorraine looked at her with a smile and a smile, "I guess your silver tarot is mixed with iron, and the gold yarn for divination is embroidered with magnets, isn't it?" ”

"It's ...... Secret. ”

Lorraine was noncommittal, and continued: "However, I don't understand how you can guarantee that Madame will draw those six cards, and that she will do what you want. I thought you had hidden the cards in the gold veil by changing the cards, but when I carried you out that day, I found that your veil was so thin that you couldn't hide anything, not even your body. ”

Noah's face turned red in an instant, and he wrung his sleeves and whispered, "Divination is a revelation from fate, don't try to pursue its skill, because it is neither the past nor the future." ”

"It occurred to me that you might be a real witch."

"The witch and the black cat, tsk......" Lorraine laughed at his thoughts, waved his hand, and turned to leave, "White ears, it's time to eat." Next, we're going to form a chamber of commerce! ”
