Chapter 155: Tang Sen's First Divination, Sudden Danger (Alliance Leader Plus 3)
The party ended in a pleasant atmosphere.
Promoted to apprenticeship, Mr. Rhett became the undisputed center of the party, and although everyone except Viscount Glerint was transcendent and much more senior than Mr. Red, it did not prevent them from making Mr. Rhett the center of the conversation.
On the one hand, Mr. Red was indeed happy to share his feelings about the occult, and on the other hand, at the behest of Townsen, the existence of the Devil was also informed to Hugh and Firth, who knew that Mr. Red's wealth and potion recipes were obtained through a deal with the Devil.
While cautious of unknown gods, who wouldn't want to get their own path to the next sequence of potion recipes?
So, at Mr. Red's suggestion, the six of them successfully formed a temporary regular meeting, which was to exchange occult knowledge, share their information, and exchange materials.
And, of course, most importantly, a deal with the devil through Mr. Red.
It's just that this is not gratuitous, and it takes enough valuable knowledge to contribute to the regular gatherings to get a chance to have Mr. Red go to the devil instead.
Everyone knows that this is the prototype of a secret association, and everyone can also realize that if the devil's trade can continue to exist, the prospects of this association will be very impressive, and as the first six people, the benefits that can be obtained in the future are immeasurable, and naturally everyone is willing to do their best.
Hugh and Firth were even willing to show their sincerity by revealing their transcendent identity and the way they were.
He even mentioned other circles of transcendents that he had participated in, such as a Mr. A, who occasionally organized a trade fair for intelligence and materials, and the two promised that if everyone was interested, they could take everyone to see it next time.
As for Townesend, who had always been low-key and shy in the meetings, he was considered by everyone to be a lucky man who became transcendent because of his status as Professor Red's cousin, and Townsend also used this identity to ask Hugh and Firth, especially Firth, many questions about vision and meditation.
And under their teaching, he successfully opened his spiritual vision and tried his hand at divination.
Anyway, everyone felt that they had been rewarded, and they agreed on the time of the next meeting, and agreed that they would not be allowed to join the meeting unless the majority agreed, and those who passed Mr. Red's inspection.
Walking out of the gate of Viscount Gleilint's house, a crimson moon was already hanging in the sky.
Mr. Red looked at Townsend with some concern, surprised to find that the other party had not taken the form of a skeleton.
He didn't explore this, anyway, in his opinion, everything about the dead was mysterious, and at least for now, what the dead did was only good for himself.
"I didn't expect it to be so late." He looked at both sides of the street and complained: "I think we must consider buying a carriage and recruiting a coachman, at this point in time, I don't know if we can wait for an empty carriage, I have already agreed to use the carriage of the Viscount's family." β
"It's easy to know this kind of thing."
Townsend raised his hand, revealing a pure white crystal pendant on his wrist.
It was a small gift from the Viscount.
He closed his eyes and meditated slowly in his mind.
"Empty carriages will pass by here soon"
"Empty carriages will pass by here soon"

After reciting it seven times in a row, Townsend opened his eyes and saw that the pendant was turning slowly, counterclockwise.
This is one of the simplest methods of divination, the pendulum method.
Clockwise rotation means affirmation, while counterclockwise means negation.
"Unfortunately, it seems that we will not be able to wait for the carriage anytime soon." Townsend put away the pendant and spread his hands.
"The power of a soothsayer is so convenient." Mr. Red sighed with some eyes: "Before that, I had always thought that divination was those vague, distant revelations about the future, who would have thought that the usage could be so routine and detailed. β
"Regret is useless now, Mr. Red." "Moreover, there are many methods of divination, and some of them are indeed capable of obtaining distant revelations about the future. β
"I can do a divination for you if you wish."
As necessary to digest the soothsayer's potions, Townsend was happy to do divination for others, and of course, it was essential to make divination his daily habit.
"No, I don't have to." Mr. Rhett hurriedly waved his hand: "I think I'm fine now, today may be the happiest day of my life, if I can live like this forever, I am willing to pay any price and the future. Don't look at it. β
Tang Sen raised an eyebrow, feeling that the former professor was indeed a little sober.
"Anyway, we might have to go a little bit." "The coachmen don't come to Queens at this time, and most of the people who live here have their own carriages, and they often don't have business here," Townsend said. β
"It's good to be close to the edge of Queens, maybe we'll be in the next borough in ten minutes." Mr. Rhett said.
Tang Sen smiled: "This sentence may not be very popular with the Viscount. β
The two chatted and walked down Beckland Avenue late at night, there was no need to worry about the security of Queens, where the powerful lived, and any vicious incident, even a small theft, could trigger a violent reaction from the police and the church.
The single-family houses on either side slowly turned into townhouses and shops, and because of its proximity to Queens, there were no late-night taverns and entertainment clubs on the road, except for the occasional sporadic lights, and the whole street was only lit by crimson moonlight.
"Reilly, why don't you do some more divination, shall we continue walking forward or will we just wait for the carriage here?" Mr. Rhett said, "If you have to walk home on your legs, I'm afraid it will take you two hours." β
"I've heard that some of the transcendents of the path can gain physical strength that is different from ordinary people in sequence 9, but unfortunately, the apprentice is not among them, let me go back, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of bed tomorrow, I remember that there is a big businessman's banquet to attend tomorrow."
Townsend ignored Mr. Red's chatter, but he did remove the crystal pendant and prepare for divination.
After all, he had just obtained extraordinary abilities, and even Tang Sen, who had already traveled through several worlds, couldn't help but want to give it a try.
"I'm supposed to wait for the carriage here"
"I'm supposed to wait for the carriage here"

After reciting silently seven times in a row, Tang Sen opened his eyes and saw that the pendant was moving rapidly, turning in a counterclockwise direction, and the amplitude was very large.
"Huh?" Tang Sen was stunned for a moment, "This should mean that I shouldn't wait for the carriage." β
"But why did the pendant react so violently?"
He recalled the knowledge of the spiritual pendulum method, and suddenly his pupils shrank.
Wrong!
If it were just a trivial matter of daily life, the arc and speed of the pendulum would not be so drastic at all, unless it was a sign related to danger.
"You shouldn't wait for the carriage here, something very dangerous will happen."
Townsend read the pendant's message in a deep voice.
"Dangerous?" Mr. Red was also stunned for a moment, and said with some disbelief: "This is Beckland, and it is also close to Queens, what danger can there be?" β
"Is it possible that you're not skilled enough in divination, orβ"
His words came to an abrupt halt, for the Tangssen in front of him suddenly lost his flesh and flesh, and in the light of the moon, he turned into a hideous skeleton.
"Let's get out of here first." Townsend didn't say anything more, just took a step and walked forward.
Failure of divination will not make the pendant show such a reaction, at most it is motionless, as a soothsayer, of course, you have to believe in your own divination results.
"Okay, okay." Mr. Rhett hurriedly followed, and the two of them walked in a hurry, with their heads shut, for more than ten minutes, until Mr. Rhett was out of breath, and Townsend stopped, raised his hand again, and lowered the pendant.
"It's safe here."
"It's safe here."
β.β
After reciting it seven times, Townsend opened his eyes and saw that the pendant was still fast, spinning counterclockwise.
Faster than ever!
Monthly pass 864/100, alliance leader 1, plus 7/23.
