Chapter 1663: Staggered Meeting (18)

On the other corner of the west side of Cairo's black market, there is a strange and twisted black room. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Outside, even the fence is made of special black brick walls, and the bare courtyard is not planted with any flowers and plants, only a cracked wasteland remains, which makes people wonder about the value of this courtyard.

However, even if the courtyard is not planted with flowers and plants, it still has a unique role: it scares away visitors who pass by. The desolate courtyard sets off the black house like a haunted haunted house, and with the long, twisted steel spikes on the black walls, the horror of the entire area is enough to stop most curious people.

However, Rosetta, the Queen of Jewels, led Palamides towards the strange black room, which she did on purpose. The soothsayer she was looking for must have lived in this strange black room.

Seeing this scene outside the house, the big cat not only did not feel afraid, but showed a little disdain in his heart. What about the soothsayer. Not to mention whether this so-called soothsayer is real or not, she has arranged the house so mysteriously that she is obviously playing tricks on the truth of the divination?

Despite this, Palamides believed in Rosetta. Or rather, he believed in Rosetta's "abilities". If the other party is a deceitful soothsayer, Rosetta, the queen of jewels, must be able to detect something by her hearing.

...... In other words, is the soothsayer genuine? Is it true that he has the ability to predict the future?

The big cat is still skeptical about this. He still doesn't believe in such superstitious things as divination.

"I'll make it clear to you before I meet the soothsayer. Rosetta walked to the door of the big house, and before she could knock, she lowered her voice and said to Palamides: "I know that you are doubting the authenticity of the divination, and I know that you will try to find a breakthrough in the process of divination to question the soothsayer. But I say to you, all this is unnecessary. Moreover, this soothsayer has a very grudge-holding personality, and if you provoke her, she will probably not help you with divination in the future. So I beg you here, don't ask anything, don't say anything, and leave everything to me. Okay?"

"Uh...... That's right...... Palamides was embarrassed. His nature is more stubborn, and if he sees something that makes him unhappy, it is difficult to hold back from saying it. If he were to perceive some obvious deception on the soothsayer's part, would he really want to remain silent?

"I know what you're thinking, but don't, really don't. Rosetta pleaded again: "When it's all over, I'm sure you'll get the answer you want, and I promise, you'll not be disappointed." So until then, please keep quiet, okay?"

"Okay...... I'll try to do it...... Palamides muttered under his breath.

"Do you want me to plug your mouth with something?" Rosetta said, of course, sensing that the big cat's mouth was wrong, so she said jokingly.

"It's better to tie me up and put a muzzle on me. Palamides replied jokingly.

Rosetta shook her head angrily and reached out to knock on the door.

"The door is unlocked, come in. At the moment of the knock, a faint human voice was heard in the room, as if the man had been aware of, or had anticipated, the visit of Rosetta and Palamides.

"Interesting. Although he did not say anything, Palamides began to subconsciously resist the soothsayer's every move, trying to find out the flaws in the other.

If the door is not locked, it means that the other party can predict the future, knowing that Palamides and Rosetta will come to her at this time? Maybe she never locked the door. Or maybe there were surveillance cameras secretly installed outside the compound, and when they approached, the people in the house were already clear and unlocked the automatic door.

When Rosetta pushed the door in, the big cat couldn't help but hide his nose. There was a suffocating musty smell coming from the old black house. But maybe it's actually not that serious, it's just that the big cat's sense of smell is stronger, and the sense of smell after drinking is even stronger than usual.

The hall of the room was dark and gloomy, and there sat a woman, who seemed to be middle-aged, but most of her face was obscured by a black velvet hood, and Palamides could not tell her age.

"Sit down. ＂

But the soothsayer spoke very slowly, even, weakly, like a dying old man. This convinced Palamides that the soothsayer must have been very old.

are already old, so don't worry about the elderly, don't come to swagger, okay Palamides?------' eyelids drooped halfway, and he subconsciously showed a look of contempt. He was rightfully given a blank look by Rosetta, the queen of gems, and fiercely.

"I know what you're here for, so I'm not going to ask, long story short------ show me your hand. The soothsayer stretched out a hand towards Palamides, on which she wore black silk stockings, showing no flesh at all, and still in a rather mysterious appearance.

"Uh, so you want to see my palmistry?" said Palamides with a funny face, "Is this palmistry really visible?

Rosetta gave Palamides another blank look, vicious. She was already planning to stop the big cat before he could say anything rude, just a little bit.

"It's not about palmistry. Just hand me your hand. The soothsayer said.

The other party's statement is fresh. This is good, the big cat can't find anything to complain about, and the other party asks him for cat paws with such a strong attitude, and Palamides can't do it if he doesn't cooperate.

"Okay. Palamides passed his right hand.

The soothsayer took off his black stockings, revealing a white and tender jade hand, and suddenly grabbed the paws of Palamides' big cat.

"Huh......?" the leopard warrior felt a little strange. No, the strangest thing is not the jade hand of the other party that is far from his age, if the hand is well maintained, the old man's hand can also be very beautiful------ the strangest thing is that Palamides suddenly felt a cold!

That kind of coldness is probably not physical coldness, but more like a chilling soul feeling, a kind of mental pressure.

The slender hand that the soothsayer used to grasp Palamides should have been weak, as an old woman should have, but when it caught Palamides, the big cat felt as if it had been pinched by a steel tong!

It shouldn't be cold, but I feel cold. Obviously it was just being grabbed gently, but the big cat felt as if it was being clamped hard by steel tongs. Why is there such a big contrast between the spirit and the reality?

...... Could this be, some kind of hypnosis?

The big cat was still hesitating whether to withdraw his hand or not, but the soothsayer had already come to a conclusion and let go of Palamides' hand: "It's too late. The object you are looking for has been lost and passed from one man's hand to another's. ＂

"Damn it. Rosetta didn't even suspect the soothsayer's words, just a whispered curse.

"But it's not too late, and there's still the possibility of retrieving what you're seeking. Go south, the first noble person you meet on the way is the key to helping you recover your lost things. ＂

"Understood. Thank you, Granny Lenorm. Rosetta, the queen of jewels, stood up from her chair, "Well, the situation is urgent, forgive us for being rude, and take our leave." ＂

"Well, goodbye?" Palamides also got up from his chair. Although it is still a little unclear, the big cat is actually very glad that he can stay away from this old woman who pretends to be a ghost as soon as possible.

"Take a crystal on the table. You're going to need it. And the soothsayer said Granny Lenorm.

The leopard warrior was a little reluctant to listen to the soothsayer. However, Rosetta, the queen of jewels, turned and glared at Palamides, "What are you doing? From just now, the divination made by my mother-in-law is centered on you, and the crystal must be held by you to be effective. ＂

"But ------" The big cats really couldn't believe what a small crystal would do to their next move. If it was just to show the way, it wouldn't be a big deal to follow it, after all, Palamides didn't have a clue, and they didn't know where to start. However, the big cat thinks that even this little detail must be done according to the instructions of the soothsayer, and taking this crystal means that he also agrees with the superstition of divination.

As a man, there are some things that cannot be compromised.

"Just follow your mother-in-law's instructions. It's not just your problem. Rosetta said in a more accentuated tone. This is no longer a request, but some kind of command.

Only then did the big cat realize that if Eternal Gunir was lost, it would be equivalent to the loss of the Heart of Africa hidden inside Eternal Gunir. And this ruby African heart may be one of the important raw materials used by the Sphinx father to make some kind of weapons of mass destruction, if the gem falls into the hands of the Sphinx, thousands of people may die because of it.

Palamides knew that as a man, there were some things he couldn't compromise. But that was only when his sphere of influence was limited to him alone. If his stupid stubbornness eventually led to the death of countless people, the responsibility would be much heavier. What Palamides couldn't compromise on in the first place, he had to bow his head and compromise. What if his actions could prevent millions of deaths and make him superstitious for once?

The big cat let out a long sigh and did something he was extremely unwilling to do against his will. He picked up a small crystal stone from the table.
