Struggle in the Steam Age

Chapter 246: Divination

The next morning in the airship, Lawrence was awakened by the little doll Nara. He opened his eyes and looked at the darkness in front of him. Lawrence wanted to sleep again, but he heard the little doll shouting, "It's seven o'clock, my brother, if you don't get up again, the breakfast in the restaurant should be gone."

"What? It's seven o'clock?" Lawrence, who had just closed his eyes, opened his eyes sharply again, only to find that there was still darkness in front of him. But at this time he realized that he was in the airship, and this cabin had no windows, so naturally he couldn't see the sun rising during the day.

After waking up Syfiel and going to the bathroom in the corridor outside the door to wash up, they and Nora came to the dining room together. Unexpectedly, the waiter in the restaurant did not show any surprised expressions after seeing the little doll talking to Lawrence and Syfiel. Instead, he brought a set of small tableware that seemed to be used by the children. In front of Nora.

Lawrence thought for a while and thought that this might be because his appearance was a little different after awakening his blood, and he was naturally recognized as a warlock. And the habit cultivated by Safir in the girls' school also made her easy to be mistaken for the eldest lady of the wealthy family. In this case, it is very reasonable for them to carry some rare and extraordinary item.

In this world, there is a construction puppet called companion puppet. Although they have no soul, they can communicate with intelligent creatures or do other things. Some wealthy or noble families will have one or two of these puppets as luxury items to advertise their status, and family members often regard them as part of the family.

Obviously, Nora should look like that kind of construction puppet. The conversation between Lawrence and Syfiel and Nora also made the waiter mistakenly think that they are the kind of people who treat the accompanying puppets as family members, so naturally they took out a tableware for Nora to use.

However, this happened to satisfy Nora’s wish to enjoy food in an upright manner. Perhaps because the people traveling in the airship are not rich and expensive, the breakfast on the airship is indeed very good, and even everyone can ask for a portion. Caviar is absolutely not bad to accompany meals. After the meal, there are fresh strawberry cream cake and sweet low-alcohol wine as the final finale.

Since most of the guest rooms do not have windows, almost all the tourists stay in the restaurant, observation deck or small bar to pass the time after eating. Under this circumstance, Lawrence was naturally unwilling to go back to the fake small and windowless cabin, so he read a book in the cleaned dining room with Saifei and others.

During the next journey, except when crossing the mountain range, the captain asked each passenger to return to their own cabin and put down the armor covers on all glass windows. The rest of the time as long as it's not bedtime, Lawrence stayed in these places with viewing windows to do their own things.

Of course, in the past few days Lawrence also roughly estimated that there were nearly 150 passengers on the airship. During the day, they basically move around in these cabins with a view of the outside scenery. Naturally, in this case, Lawrence would see many passengers in the same space as him during the day.

"Did you feel that someone was always watching me during the day?" The second night on the spacecraft, Lawrence, who was lying on the bed in the cabin, asked Syfiel and Nara who were sleeping on the upper bunk. Because throughout the day he always felt as if someone was staring at him, but he never found the person staring at him.

"Yes." The two women sleeping on the upper bunk spouted the same words from the bed above Lawrence. Then he heard the two young girls laughing and arguing for a few words, and Saifei first said, "In fact, at least half of the people in the house have paid attention to you. After all, your looks and your image attract everyone’s attention. Powerful."

What Seifer said is very reasonable. After all, after becoming a warlock, Lawrence's distinctive appearance and personal charm have been continuously improved with the increase of his level, not to mention a companion puppet who is suspected of top luxury goods. Therefore, Safir feels that his attractive sight in public spaces is also normal.

"Sister Seifer is right. There are a lot of people who see you during the day. Even if there are people who observe you attentively like you said, I can't lock the target from so many people." Sai Feier finished. Nora added, "But if you really feel that way, we'd better pay attention to it these days. Think about Mr. Lambert's somewhat weird letter-I suggest that you can divination."

Because of the special soul relationship between the two people, Nora knew many things that no one but Lawrence himself knew, such as his recent acquisition of a lineage related to divination. That's why she suggested to Lawrence to take a look at the last divination.

"Good idea." Lawrence slapped his forehead violently while getting up from the bed, then put down the movable table and turned on the light in front of the table. Maybe because he had just acquired the divination ability, he hadn't thought of this aspect at all before, until the little doll reminded him.

After sitting on the small stool, Lawrence calmed down his mind by meditating silently for more than a minute while holding the coin. Then he mobilized his talent of easy-to-count plum blossoms and threw the coin on the table.

"Are you divination?" Hearing the sound of Lawrence throwing coins on the table, the two women sleeping on the upper bunk peeked out their heads from the edge of the bed and looked at them curiously, and then Syfiel asked. "I have seen divination people before, they either use a crystal ball, or some kind of card, or use a pendulum. I have never seen a direct coin throw like you."

"This is a unique skill I have mastered." Lawrence briefly explained, picked up the coin on the table and dropped it again, and then recorded the results of the two coin tosses.

"Xiakan Shangkun, this is the master's hexagram." After reading the hexagram, Lawrence closed his eyes and began to think. Maybe because he was quiet for a long time, Nora looked a little anxious and asked: "Brother, have you fortuned anything?"

"Yes, I fortune-telling something." At Nora's call, Lawrence opened his eyes, picked up the coins scattered on the table, and said, "If we combine our actual situation now~www.mtlnovel. com~ The result of this divination tells me not to be arbitrary when I encounter the previous things, and to make opportunities, because there are potential enemies."

"That is to say, today you feel that someone is paying attention to you is probably because the other party is malicious." Watching Lawrence turn off the light and climb back to the bed, the doll stretched forward and put his head down. "But there were so many people present at the time, let alone some peeping without needing to be present. In this case, how do we judge who is the malicious person?"

"It's really hard to judge, but we don't need to find that guy." Lawrence said with a tight lip, "Anyway, it's less than two days before we get home. If the other party wants to do something No matter what, the time should not be too abundant, so we just need to be vigilant during this period of time."

"After all, the other party's ability to catch up to the airship means that the person tracking us might be very nervous about what they want to do. In this case, the other party should be more anxious than us." Simple thinking. Later Lawrence analyzed, "Therefore, we just have to wait for the other party to take the initiative to reveal the flaws."

After making the decision, Lawrence and the others remained vigilant throughout the next journey. But what was unexpected was that they got off the airship peacefully on the third day, and nothing unexpected happened.
