After returning to the second floor, Xia De went straight to the lady who was wearing a brown headscarf, and the headscarf and scarf were almost integrated. There was a stack of divination cards on the woman's table, and there was still half a glass of beer left in the wine glass. In addition, there was a pencil, a notebook with a black cover, and a string of small smooth stones that were pierced.

She looks like a common fortune teller who makes a living by divination. Few people in the tavern will take the initiative to talk to this kind of lady, because if they are not careful, they will sit opposite her and hand over their own words while listening to nonsense sentences. money. In particular, this lady seems to be very old. Although she can't see her face, her clothing style can reflect that she will definitely not be younger than 40 years old.

Xia De sat across from her, and the lady counting cards with her head down raised her head, and she shook her head to look at the cards again when she saw Xia De's face.

"Luvia, what are you doing here?"

Xia De asked softly, and took out a shilling from his pocket and handed it to her. Luvia, who had black hair and green eyes and strange makeup, shook her head:

"Sir, a divination is two shillings, and a shilling is not even enough for my drink this afternoon."

"Ma'am, drinking too much alcohol is not only bad for your health, but it can also make your divinations look more like nonsense than it looks."

Hearing Xia De's words, the waitress passing by with a tray couldn't help but smile.

Xia De took out another coin and pushed it over:

"Are you also for the Victor box?"

"What box?"

Luvia, who was wearing a turban, took Shad's money, stuffed the coins into the corner of her folded clothes, gathered the divination cards in her hands and began to shuffle them:

"Detective, you didn't read at home in snowy weather, and you didn't go to other cities, but you came here because of a commission?"

She knew Shade's daily arrangement very well, and while talking, she placed the divination card set in the lower right corner of the table, and then divided them into five stacks and placed them in the center of the table.

"Yes, commissioned, but extraordinary power is involved, so I'm not sure what to expect. Luvia, what are you doing here? Do you need my help?"

No anti-theft novel network

Xia De asked while watching her cut the cards.

"I don't need it for now. I'm confirming the identity of the chosen one. I got something in my dream a few days ago, so come and try my luck. If you don't show up, I will leave in about half an hour."

Most of the dreams of brilliant fortune-tellers herald the future, so it is very common for fortune-tellers to act according to the guidance of dreams.

"The Chosen One?"

Xia De raised his eyebrows, but he didn't turn his head to glance around. In every corner of the city that he didn't know, Luvia never stopped looking for the chosen one:

"Let me stay and help you. The chosen ones must all be ring warlocks. At least I can be sure who will be suspected."

"Alright, I won't delay your business. If there is no result for half an hour at most, I will give up. After all, the dream is too illusory. I have often had some strange dreams recently..."

Luvia hesitated for a moment, and the action of cutting cards in her hand stagnated, but soon returned to normal:

"A lot of things have changed, but they haven't changed. I claim to follow the poems of fate, and maybe I will find out in the end that all I have done is just walking in the same circle repeatedly."

"What are you talking about, are fortune tellers always so sentimental?"

Xia De asked with a smile, and the girl in the turban also smiled, indicating to Xia De to choose a card and turn it over:

"Speaking of which, your recent divinations are indeed very accurate. The 'game' drawn at the Prophet's Association on Wednesday night simply pointed to the events of that night."

He casually flipped over a card, and the card read "anger".

"A card that represents emotions."

Xia De sighed and put the cards back, Luvia did not express any opinion, and put the divination cards back together.

"I'll go down and talk to my companions, they might be worried after waiting for a long time."

"With whom did Dorothy come with you? The very fine maid?"

Luvia asked while arranging the cards.

"It's not Tifa, it's...Princess Margaret."

"Detective, you are really clever."

Luvia joked, and then said in a hoarse voice:

"Sir, I can't predict your fate. Your fate seems to be shrouded in a mist."

Xia De watched her performance with a smile, but unexpectedly, Luvia reached out and took out a 1 pound coin from the corner of her clothes and handed it to him.

"I only paid two shillings, and even if it is refunded, it doesn't have to be so much."

Shad reminded.

"Sir, I think you may be possessed by a demon."

Luvia held back a smile:

"So, one day in the near future, I will go to your home to help you expel the demon. This will probably last until late at night. This is a deposit for you."

Xia De didn't ask him to "exorcise demons", why the fortune-teller had to pay instead. He smiled and stretched out his hand, and Luvia put the coin in his hand, and even rubbed the palm of Xia De with the pad of his index finger.

After accepting Luvia's "deposit", Xia De got up and returned downstairs, and informed Dorothy and Princess Margaret that he might stay upstairs for about half an hour before returning. The two girls have no objections, they have a lot of common topics, especially Dorothy is telling Princess Margaret's words intentionally or unintentionally, which makes Xia De not sure whether it is Dorothy or Lacey who is here now elegant.

After returning to the second floor, Luvia was talking with the waiter and ordered two more glasses of juice. After Xia De was seated, she began to shuffle and cut the cards again. It seemed that she wanted to continue divination for Xia De, so as to prevent the two of them sitting dryly from arousing suspicion.

Although Xia De's perception is very powerful, his perception does not allow him to directly determine who is a ring warlock among the people on the entire floor. Before he came to the second floor, Luvia just stared at someone for a long time to determine the target, so some people who came from the other stairs or came to the Three Cats Hotel earlier than her would definitely be missed.

But that doesn't matter, Luvia herself came to try her luck. The reason why she can still sit here with great interest is purely because Xia De is sitting opposite her.

At 3:20 in the afternoon, that is, ten minutes after Xia De took his seat on the second floor again, a lady in a black dress and a red dress came up from the stairs, followed by a man in a blue and black formal suit. Middle-aged blond gentleman. The lady held a small silver book, glanced at the second floor, and then walked to the left of the stairs. There were more empty tables in that area.

"Miss Pavo?"

Although she was disguised, Xia De recognized her at a glance. In order to prevent being discovered, he immediately turned his head slightly to look to the other side, but according to "her" observation, the eyes of Miss Pavo and her companions did not stay on him.

In a low voice, she told Luvia about the person she saw, and the girl who was shuffling the cards for countless times frowned slightly:

"I observed her last time and confirmed that she is not the chosen one, at least not the first candidate."

Said softly, looked at the lady who was seated and greeted the waiter from the corner of her eye, and shook her head again half a minute later:

"No, she really isn't."

"Where's her companion?"

"No."

"It's a coincidence that you will meet people from the Truth Society here. They are not planning some kind of conspiracy, right?"

Xia De whispered, Luvia thought for a while:

"Miss Pavo is different from other lunatics in [Truth Society]. She is very calm, and she deliberately avoids ordinary people in the city several times. There are so many people in the Three Cats Hotel now, she will not cause trouble. I miss her It should be an appointment with an important person and is waiting to meet."

"It makes sense. I'm curious who she wants to see. But people like her who believe in numbers are usually very punctual. They won't be too early or too late. We should be here soon You can see who the [Truth Society] is meeting again."

Xia De said softly that neither he nor Luvia had any intention of reporting Miss Pavo. Since the other party boldly chose to appear in such a public place, it is impossible not to be on guard against being attacked by the Orthodox Church.

Just as Xia De thought, just as Miss Pavo and her companion ordered drinks, another ring warlock appeared from the stairs. This time it was two men, the distance was too far for Xia De to judge the level, and the two newly appeared Xia De did not know each other.

One of them was tall and even wore unlined clothing in the snowy winter. The other man was tall but thin, and he looked ordinary, but he had a blue tattoo over his right eye.

Xia De didn't speak, just pointed in that direction. Luvia watched the latter and Miss Pavo sit together, watched carefully for half a minute and then shook her head again:

"Not them either."

"Do you know them?"

Shad asked:

"Maybe another cultist hired by the Truth."

"I haven't seen it either. This is not a local. It looks a bit like a person from the Pantanal region. Maybe it's the voodoo society you mentioned."

Luvia replied softly, people in this world who are good at observing and summarizing can distinguish the appearance differences of races in different regions based on their life experience, but foreigners who have only been in this world for half a year do not have this ability:

"Voodoo society? What are they doing here? I heard in Huntington that they are preparing for a big event. A talking mouse overheard some news. They are looking for the arrow in my hand for a hundred years. What happened~lightnovelpub.net~ is really strange, people from the Voodoo Society generally don’t leave the Pantanal area, and I’ve never heard of them being hired to come to Tobesk.”

"Maybe it's because [Truth Society] gave too much."

Shad was joking.

Luvia also looked away from the group of people, and while writing down the results of the card divination just now in a notebook, she asked with a smile:

"I heard you say the other day that you had cats all over you in Huntington because you failed to shoot that arrow. Did you spend the night at Dorothy's afterwards?

"How do you put those two things together? No, Dorothy hasn't been feeling well lately."

"That is to say, after last Tuesday's incident, these nights, there will be only you and your cat at 6 Place Saint-Derains."

Luvia picked up the wine glass on the side with her right hand, Xia De recalled it and nodded:

"Yes, by the way, Mia is now..."

"It's not legally yours yet."

Luvia interrupted him with a wave of her hand, and said with a long smile:

"It's so pitiful, detective. Even though he has three lovers and has rumors with the Grand Duchess, he has to spend the long night by himself."
