There was silence in the tent, with only a slight gasp, which became more and more urgent.

From the moment Noah announced the divination, the people in the tent began to meditate, lowered their eyes, and waited with their hands tied, and the atmosphere continued to weigh heavily in this waiting, until it touched the mind of the inquirer.

Miss Emily hears the hymn in a trance.

The ethereal song floats in the sky, like far away, but it is close, at first glance it sounds like a human voice, and it is far from the human voice when you carefully distinguish it.

She looked up in a panic.

Sounds echoed in the confused light and shadows, and there was no figure in the shadows.

The witch in charge of the divination was the only one in the tent who did not join in the meditation, but she did not sing at all, but rubbed the rim of the crystal cup with her slender fingers, round and round, with a wonderful and holy connotation.

"Shaman, you...... Did you hear something? ”

The chant abruptly struck.

Noah smiled and put her hands on her knees, but did not answer Miss Emily's words.

"Miss, purify your heart, entrust everything to the Lord, believe in Him, and bow down to Him."

"Yes."

"For today's divination, we use the Roma crosses that have been passed down from generation to generation. I need you to touch each card and shuffle it, three times. ”

"Yes." Miss Emily bit her lip, "Priest, I want to ask ......"

Noah stretched out his finger and pressed it to his lips: "Deliver your supplication to the Lord in silent prayer, and don't say it." You must know that the power of the Lord is to sort out the past and future for you, and I am just the mouthpiece, and I don't have to substitute my own thoughts. ”

Unprecedented devotion instantly enveloped Miss Emily's soul, and she bowed deeply: "Yes." ”

"So, it's time to shuffle the cards."

Noah murmured, reaching out and tapping his finger in the middle of the deck.

Twenty-two large Arcanas were raised, and they could not see any contact with Noah, so they fanned out on their own.

At the end of the card shop, Noah hooked his finger, and the lowest tarot card turned over like an elf, [XXI World], the world pry the judgment, and the judgment connects the sun, until the fool comes out, and all 22 cards are revealed in front of everyone's eyes.

"Stroke each card, Miss, touch the carving with your index finger, feel the name of the card with your middle finger, trace the number with your ring finger, then turn it over and place it in a pile."

"Yes."

Lorraine watched with interest from behind.

As a spiritual placebo on the ship, Noya's divination is by no means uncommon for Lorraine, and there are dozens or hundreds of times that he has watched it in the past few years.

But ordinary divination would never involve such a complex devotional ritual, and there was only one similar scene in Lorraine's memory, when she first met Noah, divining Madame Alfonso in Belmeo.

Noah had told Lorraine that this was a technique unique to the Romsala tribe, called Divination of Fate.

Divination of fate was an important part of the Sara people's independence and peace after hundreds of years of wandering across the continent, and like their beliefs, it was not considered pure witchcraft from the beginning, but more of an art.

Light and shadow, illusions, suggestion, hypnosis, and the clever use of magnetic fields, vibrations, acrobatics, and dance, Destiny Divination uses the ancestral Destiny Crystal Ball of the Sara tribe as the core of the casting, and every item selected is absolutely superfluous.

The greater Arcana is used for divination, and the Lesser Arcana builds the magnetic field.

The sword represents the wind in the elements of the world, and the sharp blade is also a reliable defense against witches in times of crisis.

The conch-shaped crystal cup filled with water is the holy grail, which represents the water of the four elements, and the special glue on the belly of the thumb can resonate with the wall of the cup, and it is a musical instrument for the production of chants.

The Crystal Ball of Destiny symbolizes the star coin, which is not only a reflection of the earth, but also the master of light and shadow and hypnosis.

The scattered candelabra symbolizes the scepter, which is not only a projection of fire, a source of light, but also an important component to enhance the mystery of the ritual.

A ritual is designed to such an extent that Lorraine naturally no longer has the luxury of expecting the authenticity of the results, but it is precisely because of the large number of elaborate and messy tricks involved in the ritual that Lorraine still does not dare to completely deny the existence of witchcraft.

Noah would not hide his captain, so he knew that much of the divination of fate involved thaumaturgy that was only passed down by word of mouth in the Sara tribe.

Noya, the orthodox heir to witches, couldn't explain how they worked, and Lorraine, who had seen the future, couldn't think of a practical scientific solution.

So witchcraft...... There are also astrology, alchemy and séance, which are equally famous, is the occult of this era real?

Lorraine's thoughts drifted uncontrollably, and when she came back to her senses, the three rounds of shuffling had long since ended, and the 22 large Arcanas had been collected by Miss Emily herself, neatly stacked in Noah's hand.

Noah explained in a calm voice: "Roma's Cross is the Chosen Array, I will place the cards from top to bottom, from left to right, and save five of them to reveal God's advice to you." ”

With that, she ran her fingertips across the back of the first card, which was immediately separated from the deck and guided to the top left.

Five in each row, three in a total row, fifteen large silver arcanas were neatly arranged on the velvet carpet, and Noah swept his arms and a wide golden veil swept across the deck, sweeping aside the ten cards on all sides.

In the middle, only the third in the first and third rows, and the second, third, and fourth in the second row, together form a delicate cross.

Miss Emily didn't dare to breathe when she saw it, and her divine skill had completely peeled away her sanity.

"Priest, next...... What should I do? ”

"Pray, once again tell the Lord your thoughts, clearer and purer than last time."

"Yes!"

Miss Emily answered, closing her eyes and clasping her hands into fists in front of her chest.

After a while, she opened her eyes again, and there was no doubt in her eyes anymore, only piety.

Noah clicks on the main card in the center, [0 Fool], and it is in position.

"Fool, all things are always. The young man walked towards the cliff in a gorgeous outfit, and in his eyes was his ideal, a rose in his left hand and a scepter in his right. He is wise and confident, not afraid of danger and unaware of the imminent danger of danger. Realistic people say he is arrogant, idealists think he is adventurous. ”

"That's how you are portrayed. You want to be free in love, you don't want to be bound by other people's opinions, and you have found your purpose, romantic and colorful love and unique lovers, you have fallen in love, but you are still waiting for the opportunity to date. ”

When the words landed, a lampstand in a distant corner was instantly extinguished, and the light in the tent swirled and changed, illuminating the tiny number [0] under the lampstand.

Miss Emily was shocked.

Love, that's exactly what she was begging for in her heart!

"Know-How, ...... About Me"

"Don't worry, miss." Noya Wen persuaded him, "The edict has just begun, and your doubts can be answered. ”

She opened the top card, [XX Judgment], reversed, and the lampholder numbered 20 was suddenly extinguished.

"Your quest is destined to be empty, and your future is only a good past that you keep recalling, but you don't seem willing to face this problem and deceive yourself."

Miss Emily's face stiffened.

Noah didn't wait for her feedback, and unveiled the two cards in the second row at once, [XVI Tower], positive position, [XII Hanging Man], reversed position, and the corresponding lamps went out almost at the same time.

"The twisted position, the cruel future, the change will start you to fall into pain for a long time, and only by accepting the change can you regain your beauty. I see that there is another option around you, and although you have no intention of paying for him, his love for you has never changed. ”

"Another ...... Choose? ”

Chewing on Noah's words, Miss Emily's mind conjured up the figure of Zilned, dressed in a beautiful navy suit, tall and energetic, but for some reason, his appearance was only vague.

The horrible vision made Miss Emily clench her fists, her voice trembling and her face pale.

"Future...... My future ......"

Noah unveiled the last card, and [XIII Death] was in place, and all the lights were extinguished at the same time as the tail card was revealed, plunging the entire tent into the deepest darkness.

Miss Emily exclaimed, and before her eyes could adjust to the lightless world, the bright light shone in, and Lorraine opened the curtain just in time.

The scattered cards were gone, and only one tarot remained on the carpet, the Grim Reaper.

Noah smiled and said, "Miss, this is God's final revelation to you. ”

"Yes...... Is it bad? ”

"There is no good or bad fate, everything is a choice." Noah said, "Accept the change, your life will change profoundly, you will start a new stage, and you will have a better journey by accepting the facts." ”

"Is this the Lord's admonition?"

Just to mention, the Lord's mercy is merciless, which means that every happiness comes at an equal price. Choose, and whatever you choose, the Lord will care for His faithful Lamb. ”

"Thank you, Priests......"

Miss Emily was gone, and Lorraine and Bell sent her out of the tent and lost their figures, and they looked at each other for the first time in disgust.

"What a disgusting plan." Bell muttered.

"Miss Emily is happy, all you see is the pain of wandering. But you're right, this plan is really annoying, because the real victim is now worshipping the person who killed him. ”

"I don't feel anything about men......"

"I guessed it, so I prepared you a lot of scenes in the closing stages. Go and teach Zilnard how to ask for a marriage, and the louder he is, the happier Miss Emily will be. ”

"Yes, sir!" Bell stroked his chest and waist exaggeratedly, "My subordinates will do their best." ”
