"Is it so powerful?" asked Ashruphat rhetorically. The fat businessman's words intrigued him. He could see what the fat merchant was waiting for, he was in a very bored state, desperate to find someone to talk to—in other words, to brag about it, as most idlers would like to do.

"It's true. The fat merchant replied. "You see, there are long queues of people who come for divination, and there are too many people this afternoon, for example...... I didn't go to the line. I still have some unsold goods, so it doesn't matter if I wait a few more days here. ”

"Goods?" Ashrufat looked at the merchant, who grinned. The smile itself was full of all sorts of information, "I'm a trader after all!" replied the fat merchant.

By this time, the waitress had already brought the meal that Ashrufat had requested. Mimilu was already hungry, so she started eating right away - she didn't use utensils, but grabbed it with her hands.

"Your pet is fun. The fat merchant said. "I've never seen a pet like this even in West Vania. ”

"Ha, I got it by accident. Ashrufat noticed what the fat merchant had just said. "You say the West Vania region ......"

"Well, I just came back from there. The fat merchant replied. "It's not a very peaceful place......

Ashrufat's fruit wine was also delivered, and the two of them sat down at the table, discussing the topic while sipping the wine. The fat merchant was happy to show off what he had seen from his previous journey, so he talked carefully with Ashrufat.

This is exactly what Ashrufat wants. Because although he planned to go to Sivania, neither Eshurufat nor Carrie knew much about Sivania. The only thing they knew was that Sivania was located in the south, an undeveloped, barbaric and barren place, and that it had become a famous place for exile for criminals under the impetus of the Church.

The news brought by the fat merchant is much more detailed and detailed. Sivania is actually a land behind mountains, with only one mountain road connecting it to the rest of the world. Sivania is actually the collective name for this area, which is divided into three relatively independent counties. Two belong to Ryan and one to Tiberius. Although Sivania and Tiberius do not share a border, Tiberius also owns this "enclave" here because the development of this land was jointly funded by the two countries.

As with all those remote areas far from the bustling city, the rulers of Sivania were hereditary lords.

"Generally, independent hereditary counties have a few barons below, but this is not the case in Sivania. The fat merchant said with emotion. "From this point, you can also understand that Sivania is really not a good place, even if there is no hereditary lord, no one will be a ...... In short, life is very poor, epidemics are rampant, and criminals are everywhere...... However, the main city is still so-so, and it still feels like a place for a person to live, but a slightly more remote place is not at all. ”

"I've heard that there are vampires there...... Is it true? Doesn't it mean that the vampires have been extinct after the fall of Kalean?" Ashruphat carefully turned the subject to his primary concern.

"Nine times out of ten, I think the news about vampires is spreading in that place. The fat merchant replied. "I went to Via City, where there were no vampires. But I saw a ghoul who had been killed, and I heard in the city that there was even an undead legion in the territory next door...... The lord was so scared that he was locked up in the city and didn't dare to go out...... Legend has it that there are many necromancers...... That is, the dark wizard, who acts as a vampire's minions, stirring up the place into a black miasma. Not long ago, I heard that the lord had sent someone to the city of Oren to ask for help from the church...... Unfortunately, the weather is unpredictable, I have just heard that the city of Oren has been razed to the ground by a gang of greenskins, and now the church certainly does not have time to take care of these small things in the remote area. ”

They continued to talk for a long time, until Ashrufat felt that the fat merchant knew more or less about Sivania, and then he turned the conversation back to their first one, which was divination.

Talking about this topic, the fat businessman is even more eyebrows. During divination last year, the magical soothsayer Léa told him directly that he would encounter powerful and cunning bandits during his journey. After receiving this warning, the fat merchant has been very careful, and finally succeeded in avoiding this disaster - although it can be said that this thing can be said to be a flying disaster, but after knowing the time, place, and content of the Tao more accurately, it is relatively easy to avoid this disaster. After experiencing such a miracle, it is only natural that the fat merchant rushed to this village again, just to do another divination (and of course, to make some money along the way).

Mimilu had already packed everything into her stomach by this time. The hostess brought him all he wanted, and Ashrufat took out four silver coins to pay the bill, and even found a handful of copper.

The fat merchant had to wait any longer, so Ashrufat politely said goodbye to the friend who had met Pingshui but had given him a lot of valuable information, and then left with Mimilu.

"Carrie, is it possible to foresee the future?" Ashrufat asked Carrie in his mind.

"It's possible, and I can do it, but I need a lot of detailed data to deduce. To make such a detailed prediction of the future to a stranger who lacks basic data is beyond my ability. Maybe it's a calculation based on some unknown law. Carrie replied. "But I think you can give it a try, it doesn't matter anyway, does it?"

That's true. Ashruphat walked to the soothsayer's house, where he asked a villager a little about the location, only to see a man with an angry face coming out of the house.

"Bastard! I've been waiting all afternoon...... What are those people divining, it's been so long!" The man cursed and rubbed shoulders with Ashrufat.

"Is Léa the soothsayer at home?" Ashruphat walked in and saw an old woman there, with a sad face.

"I'm sorry, guest. The old woman stood up and saluted. "She's at home, but...... You're afraid you'll have to wait. ”

"Wait?" Ashrufat looked around. It looks like a room for guests to wait, as it is surrounded by stools and chairs for people to sit in. It's just that it's empty at the moment, and there's no one there. "Why aren't there any other guests here?"

"That's right, this afternoon, some of our distinguished guests from the Binjia clan have arrived. All afternoon, they were divining inside, so the guests who were waiting at the door ran out of patience one by one. ”

I see, Ashruphat understood the man's demeanor. Maybe tomorrow would be the right time, but it wouldn't matter if you stayed here for one night anyway. But in the end, he decided to wait a while.

After some time, when Mimilu was bored and Ashrufat himself felt that his patience was exhausted, there was a sudden sound of angry scolding in the room, followed by a chaotic sound, mixed with the sound of things falling and porcelain vessels breaking, and even the cry of a maiden.

The old woman's face changed dramatically, and she walked briskly towards the room inside. There was only a curtain between the two rooms, so when the old woman entered, Ashrufat followed.

The situation in the room was really not unexpected. In the room, there stood five or six men dressed as Hamas, all with angry faces, cursing hatefully in some dialect that Ashrufat did not understand. The table that had been placed in the center of the room was overturned, and the remains of a vase were scattered all over the floor. A woman with long pale blonde hair was lying on the ground crying, her appearance and age were not visible because her hair covered her face. This one must be Leia, the soothsayer.

The old woman stood between Leia and the young man, speaking loudly to the leading young man in tongues. They spoke quickly and loudly, and although Ashruphat did not understand it, he could guess an approximate idea. It was clear that Léa had said something they didn't like to hear, causing the group to get angry.

"Hey, are you here to listen to divination or flattery?" said Ashruphat loudly. Hearing this, the men immediately turned their gaze to Ashrufat.

"If you want to come and hear what is pleasing to your heart, I'm afraid you're in the wrong place!" continued Ashrufat, "and the brothel over there is certainly more suitable. ”

"Boy, it's none of your business!" said the young man in the lead, in a very arrogant manner.

"Oh, I don't think so. If you make it impossible for Miss Leia to divination, then what is the point of me waiting outside for so long?" said Ashrufat. "Isn't it glorious to use violence against a girl who has no ability to resist!"

The young man placed his hand on the hilt of his saber, but one of his companions whispered a few words that made him remove his hand from the hilt in hatred.

"My lord, I'm sorry, but they're ...... So please don't meddle. The old woman also walked up to Ashrufat and said in a very soft voice. At this time, the group passed shoulders and walked out, and the young man glared at Ashrufat viciously before leaving. Ashrufat, on the other hand, watched the other depart.

"I'm sorry, guest, I think I'm causing you a problem. The old woman looked relieved to see the group leave.

"It doesn't matter. "Ashrufat is actually more interested. Normally, so-called soothsayers rarely cause the anger of their guests (except for a few exceptions that pat the horse's ass on the horse's leg). The fact that this situation can occur reflects that this soothsayer really seems to have a special amount of power.

Leia rose from the ground at this point, sobbing lowly, and straightened her hair, revealing her true face before Ashrufat's eyes.

Ashrufat was almost incredulous. Because in front of him, it was not the expected adult woman, but a girl who looked about fourteen years old, obviously underage.

The girl in front of her had long smooth pale blonde hair, white skin like ivory, a small, straight nose like a sculpture, rosy lips like cherries, and large, blank eyes. Maybe it's because she's sobbing, but this girl has a pitiful temperament. And her eyes, though large, lack brilliance. However, Ashruphat soon realized the truth of the matter—the soothsayer Léa was blind.

The old woman regained her support for the table, arranged her things, and began to clean up the fragments of the bottles on the floor.

"Thank you, sir. Leia bowed her head and bowed solemnly to show her gratitude.

"It's okay, it's just that I can't get used to those who bully girls. Ashrufat replied. "But I'm also here for divination. ”

"I don't open at night. It's getting late, but if it's a guest, it should still be okay. Leia said this, but there was obvious fatigue on her face. I think it must have taken a lot of her energy to think of those people just now.

Two people sit at the table and face each other. Leia's divination tools are simple, a stack of cards, and a mirror.

"May I ask what those people did first?" asked Ashrufat. "Of course, if it's not suitable, forget it. ”
