Chapter 47: Poseidon, Secrets, and Divination
Esther didn't rush to ask what was going on, looking at the "hanging man" selling the guanzi, he was waiting for someone who was not at sea to "ask" about it.
"Justice" spoke very cooperatively, asking what happened to the "hanging man".
The "Hanging Man" then recounts the fall of "Poseidon" Cavitovis, which quickly reminds Esther of the "little advertisement" she had written for Klein that night, the one posted on the door of the Storm Church.
However, after mentioning that the followers of the "Sea God" could still receive a response, the "Hermit" took the lead in turning his head to look at the "Fool", and soon everyone looked away.
Esther, however, glanced at the "world".
Klein knows the "world" and knows about it, so there is no reason why the "world" as a "fool's" dependent should not be known. Could it be that the "world" did something to stop the catastrophe that Kavituwa wanted to bring at the time?
The one who can replace the "sea god......
Esther's eyes lit up and she turned in the direction of the first seat, so the charms she got from Crane may be what the "world" gave to Crane, and they came from the power obtained by praying to the "new sea god".
Then it all makes sense.
Klein stayed in Byam, also to some extent to observe the follow-up? After all, the followers of "Poseidon" are still in the Rorsted Islands, and he is looking for opportunities to play the role while going to the local area to find out the results.
Could a deity take the place of another deity? Or is it because Kavituwa is a false god in his own right?
As everyone watched, the "Fool" chuckled lightly, and his expression was leisurely: "Kavituwa became a demigod by relying on the relics of the 'natural disaster' Gosinam. ”
Esther suddenly realized that Kavituwa was just a false god, and listening to the disdainful attitude of the "fool", the original "sea god" probably did not reach the level of a true god.
After this, the "world" coughed lightly, drawing the people who had gained from their contemplation, and with the help of the "fool", he embodied an image and asked the people: "Which of you knows her?" ”
When Esther looked at the familiar photograph and was distracted, the "hermit" spoke first to answer the question of "the world":
"The red-haired Elaine, with the blood of the Intith Sauron family, a broken aristocratic lady. She worked as a maritime merchant and was later said to have been captured by the 'sick girl' Tracy. ”
Esther raised her hand: "She seems to have escaped from the ship of the 'Sick Admiral', I saw her in Byam, she was also disguised as a man at that time, which is a little different from the photo." I really didn't expect her to escape from Tracy's hands. ”
The "world" was hoarse: "Byam? Is there a specific location? ”
Esther recalls the general direction of the meeting: "There were a number of Intis plane trees near the café, near the Intis embassy in Byam. According to the 'Hermit' lady, perhaps this Miss Elaine asked someone from her family for help. ”
Esther didn't reveal that she had much communication with Elaine, but since the world had frequent communication with Klein, she might have learned about it. Could it be that the previous Bone Messenger was the Messenger of the "World"? Esther did not rule out the possibility.
"Thank you." "The world" did not say anything more.
The "hermit" looked at the "lover" twice, guessing whether she was also a sea adventurer belonging to a certain force.
At least not any well-known pirate, the Hermit remembers the famous wanted notices of the seas quite well.
Afterward, Justice recounts how she recently explored a dream somewhere and saw the collective subconscious sea of living beings, in which the psychedelic and bizarre process made Esther listen quite attentively.
She has always loved all kinds of stories.
However, the "Hanged Man" and the "Hermit" also gave corresponding warnings, telling "Justice" not to continue this kind of exploration as much as possible, so as not to encounter danger.
Esther subconsciously touched her forehead, she is not suitable for dreaming now, every time she enters the dream realm, there are inexplicable situations, often affected by higher level forces.
At least the "nightmare" level of dreaming is ineffective for her.
The Fool gave no advice on Justice's planned expedition, and Esther could sense a hint of frustration coming from Justice.
When the "moon" and "sun" are divided into the Silver Country and the Silver City, both of them show a very childish childishness.
It wasn't until she heard the name of Queen of the Giants "Omibela" that a little buzzing sounded in Esther's mind, and she subconsciously looked left and right, but didn't notice anything else.
Is it "Zoya"? What does she want to remind me of something that has to do with the Giant Queen?
When this dispute was inconclusive, the "Hermit" suddenly added a little information, and the giant queen Omibela, who was the "goddess of harvest", was rumored to have fallen at the end of the Second Age.
Esther rubbed her eyebrows, this did not match the extra fragmented information in her mind, he did not fall, but continued into the Third Age, and even ......
Can't think about it anymore.
Esther, prevented by her "spiritual intuition", gave up reminiscing about these events and remained silent.
After a while, the exchange session was almost over, and the "fool" smiled at everyone and said:
"See you next week, everyone."
"Follow your will."
Under the head of "justice", the members of the Tarot Society stood up and saluted one after another, and were sent down the hall of gray mist by the "fool".
——
Esther opened her eyes, and the few memories she had stumbled upon on the gray mist had been quickly re-covered up after she returned to the real world, leaving no impression at all.
It seems to be the same last time we talked about "Redeeming Roses", but is it also related to this organization this time? Esther patted her forehead, and the "spiritual intuition" in her mind didn't react more.
She hesitated for a few seconds and didn't write to Klein again to ask about "Poseidon" Kavituva, after all, she had just written one a few days ago, and it would be really an information bombardment to write again. You can't use Miss Messenger as a chat software, and you have to charge a gold coin every time, which is not cheap.
"Hide what you shouldn't know......"
It's even more confusing, is it because "Zoya" is trying so hard to protect me because I can come in handy in the future? It's so hard for him.
Esther couldn't figure it out, so she simply stopped thinking about it, there were more important things at the moment, and the time spent on the "Clover" could not be wasted.
In addition to learning the language, she thought she could also ask Captain Aaron about divination.
——
"Divination? Haven't you learned anything about divination? ”
Aaron was very surprised, his "fate" sequence was quite dependent on divination and prophecy, and he did not expect to meet a higher person who was a novice in divination. He got up from the chart on his desk, and spent half a minute digging through a drawer a notebook with a badly worn cowhide outer layer, and casually tossed it to Esther.
"My previous notes are all in there. I don't have the habit of carrying pendulums or tarot cards, I usually use crystal balls or dreams for divination, or directly look at the corresponding 'revelations'. I don't know if the Thief has a spiritual bonus for this, but you may have your own way of trying it out with a simple gold coin. ”
Aaron didn't pay much attention to it, he was busy planning the shipping route from Nahuat Island to Port Behrens.
"Divination" is already a fairly safe category compared to other mystical rituals, and the knowledge in the old notes is a very conventional divination method, which obtains revelation through the interaction between personal astral spirits and the spirit world, and does not involve more threatening things.
However, Aaron still specially reminded Esther: "But don't pray to any hidden existence or spirit creature during divination, such as magic mirror divination, if we attract something, we can only sink into the sea together." ”
Esther laughed, "Don't say such unlucky things as the captain, the 'Clover' will be fine." I have a sense of proportion, and even if I want to practice, I will only choose small things that are not important, and I will not test the aspects that involve powerful beings. ”
She is not inexplicably looking directly at the god-like existence, and the memories left by some people on her are quite profound.
Aaron cleared his throat: "Ahem, I'm just telling the truth. ”
Esther always felt a familiar saying: "I like to say this when I make excuses to cover it up." Thank you, Captain Aaron. ”
"You can take a look at that notebook first."
"Then wait until the 'Clover' and find a chance to experiment, right?"
Aaron waved his hand at Esther, "You know what I mean." ”
Esther returned to the cabin with her notes and began to flip through them.
"Astral Spirits, the Spirit Realm, and the Spiritual ......"
This is the easiest and most powerful source of revelation for divination, and most of the divination and prophecy are probed by individuals through the spiritual realm that overlaps with reality, rather than directly peering into the river of fate itself.
Esther recalls her discomfort with the spirit world, and can only consider saving her divination practice for the rest of the ship, which has limited space and could be affected by the Clover itself in the event of any large-scale mutations.
However, many of the contents of this notebook did leave Esther with a certain inexplicable feeling, and if she skipped the call to the spirit world and went directly to the perception of the silver river, it might be more convenient for her than regular divination.
Esther's fingers subconsciously circled the table, and it took the night to finish Aaron's notes.
When she went to the dining room for dinner, she heard several sailors on the ship chatting.
The content of their conversation made Esther's heart move.
"They're going to spend the night in the village over there today? That's great, I want to go around, too. ”
"Yes, although Mr. Alexander came back with Thompson and them, he left with a couple of his special boxes."
"Probably some kind of research again. Mr. Alexander has always been like that. ”
"I heard from Thompson that there was something weird in the village, and they were going to observe the situation."
"There won't be any danger, right? It's so hot around this island, when can we leave......"
"We'll be home in February, we'll be able to share the harvest from our last expedition, and I'm still waiting to see my mother in Lim province."
Esther didn't listen any further to the rest of the conversation, and after she had finished the onion soup on her plate, she went back to the captain's room to ask Aaron for more details.
