Two days later, the circus went to the town of Prader, where it was repaired, and then/performed a show.

Although many people have died, life has to go on, so we can only put away our grief and move on.

Chen Xing had never been to this marginal town, which was 900 kilometers away from Orchid Town, and he also got off the float boat and walked around to investigate the local people.

The population of Prader is similar to that of other fringe towns, with 10 percent of citizens with black tables and 90 percent of the remaining 90 percent homeless.

There are three main categories of citizens living in marginal towns. One is the local clerks, that is, public officials, whose salaries are uniformly paid by the Principality's parliament, and belong to those who work in the town guard mansion and eat the emperor's food. Because I work here, I also buy a house here to live.

The second category is the family members of the local garrison, which is similar to the first category, they all eat imperial food to work, and the difference is only in civilian and military positions

The third category is low-level mercenaries, small traders, or people who have a little savings, but can't afford to buy a house in a second- or third-tier city, and want to live a leisurely life in the countryside.

Compared with the satellite coverage area, the houses in the fringe towns are nearly ten times cheaper, and the cost of living is relatively cheap, but there is almost no education and medical care, and the danger is much higher.

As on Earth, the cities of the Red World are divided into many lines, and the higher the level of city security and welfare, the better.

Super first-tier cities are the capitals of the kingdom, such as the Ice Blue City in the Red Country, the Danjin City in the Qing Country, and the Bam City in the Yellow Country, which are the political, economic and cultural centers, the gathering places of the powerful, and the housing prices are frighteningly high.

In such places, the system is strictly monitored and belongs to the highest level of security, and even swearing may be illegal and punished by deducting social credit.

The first-tier cities are the capitals of the principality, such as the monitor lizard city in the Principality of the Red Dragon, the White Tiger City in the Principality of Tezera, the Surabaya City in the Principality of the River Sparrow, the White Dragon City-State, and so on.

Second-tier cities are commercial metropolises, such as Sanchahe City, Qiancrow City, White Elephant City, Shin-Edo, etc., which are the local economic centers.

Third-tier cities are residential cities, such as Gray Corner City and Dashanling, which are not commercially developed and have a low population density, and are dominated by plantation or manufacturing.

Fourth-tier towns are regional towns, such as Longshi Town, which have satellite signals and are business and trade centers for surrounding towns.

The fifth line is the fringe town, which has no satellite signal, but has a city garrison and security corps, and enforces limited laws.

And then there's the wilderness, where you can do whatever you like, without any restrictions or protection.

On the second night of her stay in town, Margaret invited Chen Xing to go to a circus show and then to the circus market.

Ever since they met, Margaret had been clinging to him all day long, clasping her hands tightly as if she was afraid that she would lose them at any moment.

From time to time, Chen Xing could feel the vigilant gaze behind him, which belonged to Lady Ursula.

Lady Ursula was a very clever and hard-working widow, probably aware that the future of their mother and daughter lay in the hands of this man, so that her daughter's behavior did not stop her, even if it seemed to her to be out of line. Just look at it from afar, and remind it with your eyes.

And Chen Xing is also considered a rule, and he did not do anything out of the ordinary. There are many women around him, which can fully meet his needs, and there is no need to nibble on this underripe bean sprout.

However, even if he wanted to gnaw, it is estimated that Mrs. Ursula would not dare to say anything, at most she would tell her daughter to take contraceptive measures. The world where the strong are respected is so simple and rude, do whatever you want.

Of course, anything that is too inhumane will be severely condemned in any world. Even in the absence of a legal agreement, moral condemnation remains.

To put it simply, human nature is the common nature of human beings, and the code of conduct that most people recognize and abide by.

For example, although cannibalism has occurred from time to time in human history, it has not occurred on a large scale, only in rare cases. Because "cannibalism" does not conform to the commonality of human beings, it is not a thing that can be sustained.

But in fact, Chen Xing lacks interest in bean sprouts, he likes big-breasted beauties, so this possibility is very small.

"Master, let's go to divination, I heard that it is very effective."

"You want to

If you are hesitant or want to know something, you can ask the goddess. ”

Although Chen Xing has never believed in fate, because he feels that fate should be in his own hands, he doesn't believe in fortune telling very much. Besides, these people are mixed in the circus, if it was really so magical, they would have made a fortune a long time ago, and they would have to live a hard life here?

However, he would not affect the interest of the little apprentice, and entered the tent of the goddess with her.

"Dear Miss Flame Swan, good evening gentleman who helped us out of bad luck." The goddess bowed to the two of them, and then asked, "What do you want to divination?" ”

"I want to know my future, what kind of person I will be." Margareth asked.

"Then we'll use the Great Arcana Triangle of Fate." The goddess took out a deck of cards and asked Margareth to shuffle them.

Seeing the pattern on the card, Chen Xing was slightly stunned, it turned out to be a tarot card.

Not only are the myths and legends of this world exactly the same as those on earth, but even the tarot cards are exactly the same.

Next, the goddess asks Margaris to cut the cards, then spread them out and let her pick four cards at random. Although Chen Xing has not studied tarot card divination, he has come into contact with girls who can play this in college, and he still understands a little bit of the basic rules.

The method and procedure of the measurement are very similar to those on Earth. In this regard, Chen Xing had to doubt that God existed. It is they who created the human beings of the various worlds, so they have the same myths and legends and means of spying on fate.

Three of the four cards are placed in an equilateral triangle, and the last one is placed in the middle.

"These three represent your past, present, and future, and in the middle are variables." The goddess introduced, and then asked Margareth to turn over the tarot cards representing the "past".

Margareth closed her eyes, muttered a few words in her small mouth that she didn't know if it was a spell or something, and with a fingertip pick, the card turned over.

"Representing your past is a magician in the right position."

"You're more inclined to technical fields and supernatural powers, you prefer to study logic to complex words, and you're less perceptible to the emotional symbols represented in words but you are keenly aware of small differences in numbers, which leads to your science grades being better than your liberal arts grades, and your supernatural strength may also be better than your muscular strength."

"Yes, yes, yes, that's right!" Margareth said excitedly.

Chen Xing couldn't help but think of Margareth's talent, the Psionic Touch. Although he didn't know what it did, he knew it was psionic talent just by looking at the name. Combined with Margareth's performance, it seems to be accurate.

Let's just think of it as a coincidence.

Margareth quickly picks out the second tarot card representing the "now".

A reversed temperance.

"Contrarian moderation means that you lack moderation right now, and you need to temper certain behaviors or thoughts."

Margareth looked thoughtful.

It took a while for her to come to her senses and pick the third card.

Aligned stars.

"Your future will shine like the stars, leaving your name and deeds in the history books."

The last card representing the "variable" is the reversed emperor.

"The emperor who is in the reverse position does not mean that the real emperor, maybe a fake emperor, but he must have great power to change your fate."

Margareth was lost in thought again.

The goddess put away the tarot cards one by one and said in a soft and ethereal tone, "Fate is always changeable, so don't worry too much about it. ”

Then she looked at Chen Xing, "Kind sir, do you need divination?" ”

Chen Xing hesitated. He really hadn't tried this kind of thing like fortune telling.

"Master, you can try it too, it really works!" Margareth encouraged.

"Hmm......" After pondering for a while, Chen Xing nodded, "Then let's try it." ”

Under the guidance of the goddess, Chen Xing shuffled the cards, cut the cards, and then picked out four cards, put them down in order according to the isosceles triangle, and the last one was placed in the middle.

When you've done all this, close your eyes and meditate, then turn over the first one that represents the past.

Seeing the cards, Chen Xing couldn't help but take a breath, this is too dark.

Reversal, Grim Reaper!

"Young man, don't worry, this is just representing your past. No matter how bad the situation is, it's already far away from you. The goddess comforted, and then read the meaning of the card, "The reversed god of death represents a ray of life, and the dead come back to life." ”

"Your past is always hovering between life and death, struggling to survive in the cracks."

At the same time, death also represents loneliness. You always have to face it all alone, but you get through it in the end. ”

"Therefore, you have an extremely resilient side of your character, the determination to overcome even in the face of any difficulties, and you have become accustomed to it."

Chen Xing had no expression on his face, but he was shocked to the extreme.

That's too accurate, isn't it?

A glimmer of life, resurrection, loneliness, perseverance, nothing is wrong.

In order not to be seen by others, Chen Xing turned over the second card representing "now".

Reversed, lovers.

"Well...... "Goddess muttered, "this card may not be a good thing for the average person, but it may not be a bad thing for you who are powerful." ”

"What do you mean?" Chen Xing asked.

"A reversed lover means that he can't resist temptation and indulges excessively."

"It also represents emotional naivety and indecision."

"If you want to have a good love, then please take every relationship in your past seriously."

Margareth's gaze made Chen Xing feel a little embarrassed, and he quickly turned over the third card representing "Future". Divert your attention and preserve the image of a teacher.

Upright, chariot.

Looks like it's pretty good.

"The chariot in the right position represents the courage to move forward and be invincible. You will shine on the battlefield, no enemy can stop you, and no one can take your victory. The goddess raised her hands and said.

"Good!" Chen Xing was in a good mood and opened the one in the middle that represented "variables".

The moment he saw the cards, Chen Xing seemed to be petrified.

Upright, demon.

Is there a doom in the dark?

"The right demons, the true demons, can give power and they can also give destruction. You must be careful, if you are not careful, you will fall into the endless abyss......"

Chen Xing couldn't hear the words of the goddess anymore. The predecessor died because of the demon, and the previous life died because of the demon, and in this life, the position of the team leader and the opportunity of the underground water station are all closely related to the demon.

For the first time, he was in awe of the unknown. Perhaps there is a force that is manipulating everything.

"Fate is always changeable, don't worry too much about it, sir." Seeing Chen Xing in a daze, the goddess said what she had just said to comfort Margareth, and then took back the tarot cards on the table one by one.

"Huh?"

When she received the last one, she suddenly let out a puzzled voice and removed her hand.

Margaret's eyes were sharp, and she immediately saw the problem, and couldn't help but cry out, "There is another one!" ”

Looking at it, behind the demon was another card. Chen Xing didn't notice it just now, and regarded the two cards pasted together as one.

This means that there are two "variables".

"Sir, please flop." The goddess said.

"Does that still count?" Chen Xing said strangely.

"If you do it unintentionally, it is the will of God." The goddess said.

Chen Xing took a deep breath, calmed down, and turned over the cards pasted on the demon.

Orthodox, Queen.

The corners of Chen Xing's mouth twitched. He secretly made up his mind that he would never come to divination again in the future, this thing was really terrible.
