Chapter 212 Chapter 208 Card Divination

   Because of last week's [Cat's Elegance], he has already been touched by "watching cats". This week, he can no longer tell his father that he feels about stargazing, so he can only find out about his ability.

   "People who are blessed by the protoss usually have good luck."

   The woman sighed softly, skillfully washed the card in her hand, and then gently picked up a card from it. Jenkins only noticed that she was not using traditional cardboard cards, but from the perspective of texture, they looked more like plasticized cards.

   But this world does not have this kind of technology, is it ability?

   Jenkins and the chocolate he was holding held out their heads at the same time, and looked over there curiously.

   The card was slowly opened, and the pattern on the front was a red flower with some distortion. This is a pencil sketch, drawn directly on a blank card. Because the light and shadow effects are so superb, Jenkins even thinks this is a real flower.

"What does this mean?"

   Jenkins asked in awe.

   The woman didn't answer, but shook her head slightly, and when she tossed it casually, the cards swirled in the air and burned.

   "Is this a divination or a trick?"

   Such rude words are just thinking about it, he is not stupid enough to ask. Miss Audrey is a high-level gifter, and she is still a woman, so it is very necessary to maintain respect.

   Fortune-tellers may have different views on fate from ordinary people. Jenkins also remembers those weird remarks made by Miss Audrey during her last visit. He deliberately talked about some topics related to [Destiny], and Miss Audrey did not hesitate to share with him a few ceremonies that could be temporarily transported, but the materials they needed were very expensive.

   This kind lady seems to really want to help Jenkins, and she knows all about occult questions. Her knowledge of linguistics is unexpectedly profound. In addition to traditionally recognized language with extraordinary power, she believes that time will also endow things with extraordinary power, and language itself with multiple meanings is easier. Powered by time.

   When the two were chatting, Jenkins felt a faint heat in his chest. Originally, I suspected that the chocolate was wetting the bed in my sleep, but later I remembered that the nut was hanging there.

   He was stunned for a moment, ignoring that the lady was in front of him, unbuttoning the collar, loosening the tie and taking out the nut. Miss Audrey raised her eyebrows and picked up her own one on the table.

   The two came to the window tacitly and leaned one left and the other against the wall, only to see a man in a patched dirty black coat on the street outside the house, walking by with a cigarette in his mouth.

   All the people living in this neighborhood are wealthy people with small possessions, and men are obviously not residents here.

   Maybe the senses are very sensitive. The man watching by the two seemed to look at this place, but only saw an irritable cat lying on the window sill dissatisfied.

   "I will report to the church!"

   As soon as the man left the window, Jenkins immediately raised his right hand to express his opinion.

   "Don't you want to see what he is doing?"

   Miss Audrey asked strangely.

"No, no, no. What if he is the source of the infection of the gear germ? For the safety of the citizens, we should report this to the church immediately. [Starry Sky and Balance] The church is the closest to here, without further ado, we set off immediately !"

  The writer of justice has made the most correct judgment at the moment. He is just a civilian. Miss Audrey is not a local law enforcement officer, and the two have no reason to follow him.

   "Mr. William, destiny sometimes hides his gifts in small things, so we can't easily draw conclusions about anything. Let's take a look at the guidance of destiny."

   While she was talking, she picked up the stack of cards again, waved her hand, and the candlestick that was originally placed in the center of the coffee table lit up immediately.

   The curtains in the room were not closed, but the sunlight seemed unable to illuminate this area. Only the dim flame of the candle covered everyone, drawing a long shadow on the ground.

   Count the seventh card from top to bottom, then take this card out and place it on the upper center of the tablecloth of the coffee table, just above the candlestick.

   put the counted cards aside, do not use them again, then count the remaining cards again, take the seventh card out, and place it in the lower left corner of the candlestick.

   Act as above and put the counted cards aside. Count the remaining cards again and place the seventh card in the lower right corner of the candlestick, forming a positive triangle with the two cards just now. At this time, Miss Audrey still had some cards in her hand, and put them in the pile that was counted.

   She raised her head and glanced at Jenkins, and made a please gesture:

"This is a very common card divination method, even ordinary citizens have heard of it. First of all, you have to think about the things you want to divination in your heart, and then look at the cards you need. They represent the past, present, and The future. If it's just whether it should be tracked, it should belong to the present."

   Jenkins nodded politely, wondering if he really wanted to do divination. He watched Chocolate squatting on the sofa obediently, feeling that he shouldn't let his pet look down upon him.

  The back of the card was painted with a small golden spinning shuttle, which didn't make any sense. After confirming that the card was a common item, he opened the one in the lower left corner of the candlestick.

   There is a gold coin printed on the front.

   There are no tarot cards in this world, and ordinary cards used for divination are native cards that are very similar to tarot cards. The complete set of cards has 78 cards, each of which can be interpreted as completely unrelated results, and there are also divination equipment for the summoners. This is something that only rich ladies or noble daughters have the money to play.

  General divination, you only need to use 23 main cards.

   "Gold coins? Does this mean greed?"

   Jenkins asked, the connection between divination and occult has been inseparable since ancient times. Although Dad's course has not yet reached this point, he also knows a little bit.

   "This is just an interpretation, it also represents wealth within reach, or extreme luck."

   "It's definitely not lucky, I don't think this has anything to do with me."

   He thought for a while, and felt that it was impossible to be too cautious, and after thinking about it for a while, the man was going to go far.

   "Then catch up, his expression was a bit wrong, I also want to know what he is doing. If it is not safe, I think we better..."

   Miss Audrey put on the white mask to disguise, while Jenkins took out the triangular metal piece from the inner pocket of the coat.

  

  PS: The reward is over, there are 9 chapters in total...It seems that I am too overestimating myself. Let's make a whole, 10 chapters. Thanks to everyone who voted for the blades and rewards, I won't thank you one by one here.

Chapter 213 Chapter 209 Signs of the Past and Future

  Chocolate is naturally unacceptable. Miss Audrey ordered the maids to take care of the cat. After watching her owner and the bold woman leave, Chocolate still lay languidly on the sofa.

   raised amber eyes and saw that the maids were not here for the time being. It lazily got up, jumped onto the table, and opened the two unopened cards.

   represents the past and is a blank card. This card is like the king of poker, or the fool in the tarot card. Its meaning in occultism is more inclined to the concepts of beginning, unknown and mystery. It is the most special card in the main card.

   represents the future, it is a blue cross symbol with a circle on the upper part. This symbol is a letter of a language that has been lost. The pronunciation is similar to "anka", so it is usually called "anka cross", which means eternal life or resurrection.

   The cat narrowed his eyes, restored the card to its original position with his paws, and then wagged his tail while waiting for the servant to bring food up. Even if the owner is not someone who cares about the quality of life, the cat is still a noble cat.

  Although the gifter can use rituals to create many time-limited supernatural objects, such as charms, the cost of these items is in units of "ten pounds." Moreover, the gifters have very strong perception ability, using ordinary spells, just telling others "this is not my true face", the gifters who pay a little attention can see that this is fake at a glance.

   More high-end charms, such as "Elegant Lady's Makeup Charm" from Hathaway, have more advantages in hiding, and the cost is higher. This is also the reason why she only disguised herself without using spells when she attended Mr. Hood's party.

   Although the spell is for nothing, Jenkins is also distressed.

   He and Miss Audrey are like ordinary men and women, talking, while falling behind the man. Just when he was considering whether to end the tracking and changed his way to avoid being suspected, the man turned into an alley at once.

   did not catch up immediately, Jenkins pulled Miss Audrey and stopped outside a shop. The two talked about the clothes and accessories of the dummy in the window before heading to the alley.

   That is a dead end, less than 20 meters away from the entrance of the alley is an unpainted brick wall, the corner is a mess of garbage and suspicious excrement. On both sides are two-story buildings without any climbing points except windows. On the left wall, there is a tightly closed iron door.

   The iron door has rusted, but judging from the scratches on the ground and the cleanliness of that piece, this door is still in use recently.

   "I have confirmed just now that it is an ordinary person, so it is impossible for him to fly away."

   The only way for a man to disappear is the wall or the door.

Fortunately, Miss Audrey, who is good at divination, was acting with Jenkins this time. She asked Jenkins to stand in the alley to block the sight of others, and then pulled out a thread from Jenkins’s neckline and took out a thread from her pocket. A white crystal stone is tied to the wire.

   Jenkins noticed that a light spot of Miss Audrey's ability was blooming. After a while, the hanging spar violated gravity and deflected toward the door.

"it's here."

"my clothes......"

   He complained a little bit, but Mary bought this suit for him when he didn't move out of the house, it was the one he attended the reading salon.

   The woman did not apologize, but handed over the cut line: "Return it to you."

   Jenkins took it over immediately, thinking about whether to throw it away or sew it back when he went home.

  Miss Audrey, of course, didn't expect him to do this, she was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled indifferently.

   Jenkins turned around, reached into his pocket and found two coins. Seeing a black and thin boy walking towards this side while kicking a stone, he threw a 1 penny copper coin at his feet.

   The boy was frightened by the money that suddenly rolled over. He subconsciously picked it up, then looked up and saw the terrifying young man standing at the entrance of the dark alley, his face suddenly pale.

   "First, sir, sorry, this is you, is this yours?"

   He stammered and put the money in his hands. He moved a few steps earlier, but he still didn't have the courage to approach the alley.

   Jenkins tried to show a kind smile, who knew that the boy's body was shaking more severely.

   "Am I so scary?"

   He thought to himself, and then looked around. There were few people on this street, and no one paid attention to it.

   "Answer me a question, this silver coin is also yours."

   He waved the shilling in his hand, and the boy looked at him in horror, nodding like a chicken pecking at rice.

   "Are you nearby?"

   "Yes, yes sir."

   Jenkins suspected that he might faint out of fear at any time.

   "Then do you know where this door leads to?"

   He pointed to the door behind him. The boy looked into the darkness and backed away in fear: "Sorry, I don’t know. I never take the initiative to enter such a remote alley. But I know that the house here belongs to the Brontë Club."

  The club culture is a morbid cultural trend unique to this era. In this era, steam trains and horse-drawn carriages go hand in hand, gentlemen wear high collars that accidentally cut their throats, and ladies wrapped in layers of lace restraint.

   Where there is depression, there must be release. The harder the pressure on the surface, the more rampant the undercurrent. Although the original owner spent the whole day walking in the streets, he was only doing some pranks near him with a group of young people of the same age. According to the looming dark side after Jenkins came to this world: the extremely prosperous underground love Sex culture, male prostitutes and prostitutes in slums, aristocratic women indulging in spiritism, it is really the gentleman club of sex/love clubs, this is no different from the steam age in memory.

   The almost fanatical fascination with gentlemen's clubs is a cultural phenomenon of this era, and it is also a vulgar phenomenon that people like Jenkins hate and cannot understand. Due to the club's own strict privacy rules and harsh membership system, the gentleman club exists in every corner of the city as a semi-open and semi-closed social organization. It is worth noting that the club is not simply a geographical building or institution, but a pivotal social element in the male social field that Jenkins is also unfamiliar with. It represents a social style and survival routine based on a certain consensus. At the same time, in the world of Jenkins, it is also regarded as one of the iconic symbols of British culture in the nineteenth century.

   All of the above is just to illustrate that if there is no introduction, it would be difficult for Jenkins and Miss Audrey to enter this club called "Bronte".

  PS: Plus the number 9 plus, 6:30 11 (one more is normal), 6: 1 pm.

Section 214 Chapter 210 Secrets of the Past: Natural Disasters for the Undead

   "Do you have a way?"

   Jenkins and Miss Audrey went to the dessert shop on the corner of the street together. Jenkins invited guests and sat in a place that was conducive to observation while eating and chatting. Chocolate likes desserts, milk also likes sweetness. Jenkins looked at the small piece of butter cake that cost 7 shillings in front of him, and the figure of chocolate sneaking into the kitchen appeared before his eyes.

   "Divination can only provide self-guided guidance, and cannot realize people's wishes like a wish tree."

   She is not in a hurry, but seems to be interested in cakes. Although Jenkins offered to treat her, she only asked for a small piece of relatively reasonable price and a cup of black tea.

   "Should I go back or wait here? I think it's impossible for that man not to come out of it."

   Since he made up his mind to follow the man, Jenkins didn't plan to give up so quickly.

   "Since the divination just now has a good result..."

   Seeing Jenkins raised her eyebrows, she added: "Or a bad result, then things will not end so easily. I have a hunch that the turning point will happen soon."

   Even if she is doing activities like tracking, she still maintains a calm smile and looks more like going for a walk.

   Since she is not in a hurry, Jenkins is not in a hurry either. Although the air outside is terrible, the smell in the dessert shop is very good. Coupled with the price that is obviously deceptive, the men and women who dine here are gentlemen and ladies who know how to be polite.

   "Do you know Daddy Oliver, who is my guide now?"

   He casually brought up a topic.

   "I know, I saw him when I was young."

   Dad really makes a lot of friends, and it seems that people from some backgrounds have something to do with him.

   "In this case, do you know that Dad still had apprentices before? I heard some things, but Dad refused to elaborate."

   He took a spoon and stirred up the sugar cubes in the cup. Generally speaking, he doesn't drink coffee. The original owner lives here and has such a habit, but the poor ghost Jenkin does not. I chose coffee this time purely because the price of coffee is the most reasonable.

   "Are you an apprentice? Yes, it is also appropriate to call it an apprentice."

   The woman gently raised the cup and looked at the tea **** at the bottom of the clarified black tea, "Since the old man refuses to say, it must be inappropriate for me as an outsider."

   "So how are they doing now? Working in the church? Or are there tasks that can't be said."

   Jenkins asked again.

   "Well, I am not a believer of the sage, and I am not very clear about the dispatching within your church."

   The woman Min opened her mouth and fiddled a strand of brown hair behind her ears.

"But I know one thing, Mr. Oliver's second student, or apprentice, was sacrificed to the undead natural disaster thirty years ago. He is a hero, like all the victims of the Orthodox Church of that era. What a hero."

   "Dead Scourge?"
