Chapter 32: The Divination of the Soothsayer

"You've settled into the role of 'soothsayer' so quickly?"

After sending off the satisfied Mrs. Green, and after enjoying the cold lunch together, the blood pooled in the stomach, and Angel, who felt that the whole person was lazy, leaned back on the sofa and asked Klein.

"Maybe it will help you master the power of potions, you see, 'soothsayers', isn't that what divination should be? To tell you the truth, I'm going to work part-time at the Divination Club...... Well, it's mainly to spy on any suspicious people there, and by the way, be an amateur soothsayer. ”

Klein took a sip of his coffee and said with a smile.

This is in line with the rules of "playing", but also because the "soothsayer" sequence itself has a convenient auxiliary ability. Other sequences, such as the "Assassin" potion, are extremely difficult to play openly......

Angel looked at the silver chain looming in the sleeve of Klein's left hand serving the coffee cup, and a slight feeling of jealousy appeared in his heart - a person's success depends not only on his own efforts, but more importantly, on whether the potion path he chooses is good......

When Mrs. Green was present just now, Klein threw out the citrine hanging from the silver chain and performed the "spiritual pendulum" divination on the spot, Angel thought that he had even forgotten the rules of secrecy. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Green was so focused on how to convince Angel to accept the commission that she had no time to care about Crane's strange behavior.

Klein, who obtained the divination results, readily accepted the commission of Mrs. Green to find the stolen ring, although Angel was a little puzzled, but out of trust in her teammates, she did not question it on the spot, but cooperated, and after euphemistically proposing "you have to add money", she reached a commission contract for 120 pounds.

"I used the 'Spirit Pendulum Method' for divination, relying on the connection between the star spirit body and the spirit world and the starry sky to divinate the good or bad of things." Klein explained, "Clockwise means yes, counterclockwise means negative, and the divination I just said was, 'It's dangerous to get the ring back.'" ”

"At that time the pendant was rotating clockwise at a very slow speed and the conclusion was ......"

"Dangerous, but not much?"

Angel replied first.

This is in line with the findings of the Jules Detective Agency, the ring was indeed sold to the gang by the thief, but it was only a gang, and there was no higher level of power involved.

For the extraordinary, the average gangster is indeed not a great danger.

"That's right, if the divination suggests that it is very dangerous, and it is very dangerous for the extraordinary, then it means that the matter is likely to be influenced by extraordinary factors, and on the contrary, it is an ordinary theft of items."

"I confirmed that it was the latter through divination, and I think I can take this commission, after all, the other party has already come to the door along the brand of the Black Thorn Security Company, whether it is for the maintenance of this disguised identity, or for the help of ordinary citizens, this approach is reasonable."

Crane explained with a slight smile.

And you can make a full 120 pounds......

Angel helped him add a reason.

Thinking of the gold pounds that were about to arrive, she asked Roseanne, who was brewing a second pot of coffee next to her, "By the way, Miss Roseanne, if we complete the commission, how will the 120 pounds be distributed?" ”

Rosanne tilted her head as she poured hot water into the coffee pot and replied:

"According to the long-standing rule, half of the remuneration received by the commission needs to be handed over to Mrs. Orianna as the fund of the entire team, and the remaining half is distributed by the members of the team who participate in the commission according to their contributions, but they are generally divided equally."

Each member has different extraordinary abilities, and their contribution to fighting or searching for items is large or small, and it is indeed more appropriate to divide it equally, so if you hand in 60 pounds, you can each get 30 pounds?

Angel quickly calculated the amount of money she could get, £30, which was 10 weeks' salary for a night watcher, and it was said that it would double when she became a full member, which was also 5 weeks......

She glanced over to Crane, who was sitting across from her, and saw that his eyes were wide open, looking at Roshan as if he didn't believe he could get paid so much.

"It's a pity that Klein is not a full member yet, and he can only get ten percent, well, ten percent after turning in half."

"Huh?"

Seeing that the huge sum of 30 pounds turned into 6 pounds in an instant, the huge gap made Klein can't help but let out a question.

His reaction made Angel almost burst out laughing, but she was professionally trained to hold back the tense muscles of her face.

Looking at his clothes, it doesn't look like he's short of money...... However, when chatting before, I learned that Klein has an older brother who works overtime every day to earn money, and a younger sister who is studying, maybe the financial pressure of the whole family is greater?

Angel thought to herself.

And so on, the informal members......

"But I'm not a full member, Miss Rosan."

Angel reminded.

"Well, you were already an extraordinary before you joined the Nightwatch, and I thought you were ......," Roseanne raised her eyebrows in surprise, "in that case, it's another £30 per person." ”

————————

Perhaps in order to prove that he was worthy of half of the pay, the emotional Crane immediately helped Angel with the subsequent divination, Roshan who was interested in the occult watched from the sidelines, and Bright went to help Mrs. Orianna tidy up the financial office with little interest.

"The main point of divination is the choice of divination content." Crane held the silver chain in his left hand, allowing the citrine pendant to droop naturally, almost touching the tabletop, where was the white piece of paper on which he had just written the divination, "If you use the question 'Where is Lady Green's missing ring?' you will not get an answer, because the pendulum will only give two answers, 'yes' or 'no', plus a 'middle state' at most, and any more specific answer is beyond its scope." ”

"But we can break down the questions that need to be divined, break them down into simple questions that can be answered by 'yes' and 'no', and then divination one by one to get the answer."

Looking at the blank paper on the table with the words "Mrs. Green's lost ring is in the Docks Labor Mutual Society of Tingen", Angel was quite surprised, is Klein really a newcomer who has just become extraordinary?

Klein closed his eyes, his lips squirming, as if he was muttering something.

In the middle of the night, he reopened his eyes and saw that the pendant in his hand was slowly rotating clockwise.

"Confirmed, it seems that the conclusion of this investigation report provided by Mrs. Green is correct, and the ring is in the docklands."

"Can you narrow it down a little bit?"

Angel took the investigation report and swept his gaze over some keywords.

"I have some impressions of the Labor Mutual Aid Association, it is a warehouse converted office area, usually there are no people, but there are many and chaotic rooms, it is too time-consuming to find one room, once the staff is alarmed, it is easy to have disputes."

"You can't ask questions, you can only verify the authenticity." Crane reiterated that he was holding a pen with a new blank sheet of paper in front of him, but he was not putting pen to paper, waiting for Angel to ask the question of divination.

"What about one by one? Try divination in every room? ”

"My spirituality can't support too many divinations, if the location is relatively small, it's okay, but if the range is too large, I can't do anything."

Klein dismissed this approach, frowning and thinking for a moment, then nodded as if he had made up his mind.

"In this case, I'll go to the docks with you, and I'll use the 'Divination Rod' to find the ring."

He picked up the cane beside him and explained the divination to Angel and Roxanne.

Different from the "yes or no" prompt of the pendulum method, the divination staff only needs to silently recite the things that need to be divined in your heart, such as "the location of Mrs. Green's lost ring", and the cane is clubbed on the ground, and the direction in which it falls is the approximate direction of the item.

"It sounds good, even if the range is not very accurate, as long as you divinate a few more times, using the triangulation method, you can always make up for the lack of accuracy."

Angel was a little moved, but she estimated the area of the dock warehouse in her heart, and still shook her head.

"It's not very useful, we have confirmed that the ring is in the warehouse of the labor mutual aid association, which is not a small area, and the divination accuracy outside is not enough......"

"Let's go in together." Crane was a little interested, and he rubbed his hands together and proposed.

"Then it's not stealing, it's robbing." Angel refused, "It's better for me to act alone, it's better for me to go in alone with the skills of an assassin, and it will be easy for you to alarm those gangsters if you follow." ”

Without waiting for Klein to speak, she took a pen and paper, brushed down a sentence, and placed it in front of Crane.

"Come on, soothsayer, I've already thought of a way, you try divination first."

Emphasizing his status as a "soothsayer", Crane could only smile wryly, he took the blank paper and glanced at it, which read, "Mrs. Green's lost ring is being carried with her."

The pendulum rotated counterclockwise gives the result of divination: negation.

"The second."

As Klein closed his eyes and silently read the words on the paper, Angel had already begun to write another paragraph: "Mrs. Green's lost ring is being kept safe."

The citrine pendant rotates in a clockwise direction this time.

This means that the ring is in good hands.

After two consecutive divinations, Klein put down the pendant on his hand, pressed his temples with both hands and rubbed them, and then opened his eyes.

"I can do two or three more divinations, sorry, I've just become a soothsayer, and continuous divination is very spiritually draining."

"It's okay, it's enough, I've got the answers I need."

Angel laid three pieces of paper with the contents of the divination on the coffee table one after another, and drew the results of the divination on each with a pen.

Under the astonished gazes of Klein and Roshan, she patiently explained, "First of all, we have determined that the ring is indeed in the Docklands Labor Society, as stated in the information provided by Mrs. Greene. She made a circle on the first piece of paper, "and then the second divination, denying that the ring was being carried." ”

A cross is drawn on the second piece of paper.

"In the end, it was kept safe."

Angel finished drawing the last circle and looked up at the two of them: "A gold ring that looks like a lot of money, it is not carried with people, and it is properly kept, so where should it be?" ”

"Safe!" Klein and Roseanne replied in unison.
