Chapter 50: Past, Present, and Future
West put his index and middle fingers together on the leftmost of the three cards in front of Darius, and whispered, "Eye of Knowledge, Wheel of Traceability, I am the diviner of the present, looking for traces of the past." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
After reading, he flipped the cards over, and the two of them read the pattern clearly at the same time.
A shepherdesss in a tulle smiles as she holds a brown clay pot, and behind her, under the clear blue sky are fertile grasslands and countless sheep and horses.
"What does that mean?"
"Huh?" West looked at it for a moment, then hesitated slightly, and said to Ai Ai: "Well, chief, you also know that I am not a professional soothsayer, in fact, prophecy is a relatively professional ......."
Darius interrupted him; "To get to the point, you just need to explain it directly."
Vest grimaced, "Well, this card is called 'Shepherd's Honey,' and it represents abundance and sweetness. In the records of the Rakor people, the simplest time of the ancestors of the Golden Age was when everyone had countless sheep and honey, so that there were no disputes, no conflicts, and the world was peaceful and beautiful. It is facing you, revealing your past, meaning that you have grown up in an environment of abundance and happiness. ”
He looked at Darius cautiously, "Boss, it's normal for the results of divination to deviate from reality, and these errors are within the scope allowed by the caster, it doesn't mean that I'm fooling you......"
Darius ignored West's words, although there was no expression on his face, but his heart was not as calm as his face, West said this because he had heard Darius talk about his past, which obviously had nothing to do with abundance and happiness, but only endless suffering and darkness.
But what West didn't know was that the man in front of him did have a happy and happy past.
"Go ahead, just like it's a game." Darius laughed, he didn't want to put pressure on West, but he didn't expect his words to be hoarse.
Vest smirked, "yes, it's a game, let's get on with it." He put his hand on the middle card again.
"From the beginning, to the end, the boundary of the end, the way of the present world."
This time the card is turned over, and the pattern is extremely simple and extremely strange - a snake biting its own tail, swallowing its tail in its mouth, joining its head and tail to form a circle, quietly placed in the center of the whole card.
"This is it?" Vest frowned, "This one is complicated. ”
Darius asked, "What's wrong?" ”
West picked up the card, pointed to the snake and said, "This is the Ouroboros Jörmungard, one of the primitive creatures worshipped by witches, and it keeps devouring its tail, and with each swallow, its body grows a bit, and the cycle continues. ”
"Legend has it that the world we live in was originally just a dream of Jörmungard, of course this is nonsense, but there is also a saying that our whole world is surrounded by it, so it is also called the giant serpent that surrounds the world, it symbolizes perfection, symbolizes everything, symbolizes reincarnation. This is the last row in the deck, and the only card that doesn't have a concept of heads and tails. ”
Pros and cons? Darius observed for a while, and then quickly understood what he meant, for example, the first card "Shepherd's Meadow", the girl holding the clay pot is facing Darius at the moment, so this card is upright, but the card "Ouroboros" is different, because the pattern is a circle, so even if the card is changed in one direction, the pattern does not change heads.
"And what does this card mean?"
West took the card and thought about it for a while, then said, "I said that the meaning of this card is complicated, and if this card represents your present, then I'll try to explain it in the context of your opponent's situation." ”
"Because it is constantly devouring itself and growing, Jörmungard is always a new being. The old body will enter its belly and become the nourishment of the new body. So one of the most obvious meanings of this card is rebirth. This means that your present is a new life for you in the past. ”
It's easy to understand this explanation, isn't it all for anyone? When I entered the garrison, it was like a new life, and this and my apprenticeship were completely different worlds. Isn't it, sir? ”
Darius is silent, freshman? Is it really a freshman in the sense that West is talking about? Freshman, this is his biggest secret, and the thing he doesn't want others to know, is it a coincidence that he stares at this pile of magical cards? Or is there really an invisible eye in the darkness that watches everything about him?
"Well, let's look at what is in the end, the past and the present, I know very well that the only thing that cannot be determined is nothing more than the future, which is what everyone wants to know in their hearts."
West also breathed a sigh of relief, the past and the present, these are things that have happened or are happening, whether he divination is correct or not, he will know the answer immediately, but in the future, no one knows what will happen in the future, so no one can say that he is wrong in divination.
West put his hand on the last card, for some reason, Darius suddenly felt a little nervous in his heart, the results of the previous two divinations, he had a new understanding of this set of divination cards.
"I am a lost traveler, a traveler in the fog, please give me a true eye to see the way to the future."
The last card is turned over, but this time, it has its back to Darius, which is an inverted card.
For Darius, it was inverted, which meant that the card was facing West, who was sitting opposite Darius, and the expression on the face of the mage apprentice froze the moment he saw the card, and after a while, he said to Darius: "Boss, you know, I'm not even a full-fledged mage, I'm just a half-baked mage apprentice, so divination is even more useless, this is a joke......"
"Doesn't seem like a good idea, does it?" Darius clenched his hand into a fist and gestured at West, "I said that this is just a game, you just explain it truthfully, and I won't clean you up because of this." ”
"If you don't say it, you'll be cleaned up, right?" West said to himself, but he didn't dare say it, so he picked up the last card and showed it to Darius.
The figure shrouded in the black cloak couldn't be seen clearly, but the weapon in his hand was unusually clear and dazzling, it was a huge scythe, the Scythe of Soulsnatchers!
"This card is the Grim Reaper, which represents destruction, death, and the end." West explained with a disturbed face that the future he had given Darius was death, so what would be the fate of himself and the rest of the second team as Darius's men? "Of course it's not that absolute, the card is inverted, which means it's not exactly death, it's the opposite side of death. So there's another possibility for it. ”
"To die is to live."
