How can a retired savior be considered retired if his price drops to 40,000?

Chapter 223 Divination accident
After being retaliated by Asclepius with various detection methods that did not feel good, Fujimaru Ritsuka, who was once again tortured by an updated round of oral potions and injections, changed into a simple set of Wearing regular clothes, he crept out from the innermost compartment, passed the Blood Angels who were still resting, and fled out of the infirmary.

It's not that she has any tasks that must be completed now.Since a small team of Imperial Guards were added to the Storm Frontier, the work left for Fujimaru Ritsuka has been greatly reduced - although the aspects related to coordinating interpersonal or departmental relations have increased a lot, but overall, her own I do have more free time.

The attitudes and speeches of the Imperial Guards can indeed raise blood pressure sometimes, but in terms of external communication, the emotional intelligence of living "human beings" is still better than that of Somni, who is a little too "physically like his master" A lot of.What's more, when they appear in front of people as the emperor's bodyguards and claws, they are far more credible than Fujimaru Ritsuka, an underage girl in the eyes of the imperial people (in terms of biological age, she is indeed underage) .

For example, after these golden giants passed by the only remaining Blood Angels on the battlefield, the twelve soldiers who survived the disaster did not even show the slightest doubt or rebuttal. They obediently accepted all the arrangements the Storm Frontier had for them.

The "Voices of the Emperor" widely recognized by the Empire can indeed solve most of the work for Fujimaru Ritsuka, but there are still some matters on the Storm Frontier that she must do - those related to spells.

She has not forgotten what Sanguirio said to her on the battlefield.After confirming that the subspace shadow caused by the insect nest had subsided and that various psychic spells could be cast normally, she was ready to start related "investigations".

In a metaphysical way.

Each Custodian is versatile and well-educated. In addition to combat scenarios, they are also capable of various routine tasks including cooking and washing dishes; however, they are limited by the Emperor's plan when they were originally created. In most matters related to psychic energy, these superhuman beings who are almost insulated from the Warp are helpless: they may be able to remain unwavering under the corruption of Chaos, but they are unable to cast even the simplest of spells: this is Something that the Emperor had already decided upon in their underlying design.

In addition, the "think tanks" in this team are either "battle brothers with psychic talents" who the Dark Angels barely managed to survive from the ban on Nicaea during the Great Crusade, or they have been following the Dark Angels openly and honestly for more than half a year. Savita who was taking classes next to Kaelia.Throwing these people onto the battlefield to fight may be reliable enough, but when it comes to the need for divination and prophecy, it ultimately depends on Fujimaru Ritsuka himself and Judge Hastings.

By the way, although the accuracy of Fujimaru Ritsuka's "divination" is quite high, the thing that plays most of the role is the point Merlin didn't know how to connect to her body, which originally belonged to Conrad Coze. The essence - and a small part comes from the contractual relationship between her and the midnight ghost.

Or maybe the two are reversed. After all, the too-real prophecy hallucinations that often plagued Koze sometimes leaked into Fujimaru Ritsuka's dreams along the contractual connection between them.

This is why, when she performs card divination, she does not use the Emperor Tarot, which is more popular in the imperial camp, but the traditional Nostramo cards.

Fujimaru Ritsuka ran back to his room, closed the door skillfully, took out the divination tools, sat at the table and spent a few minutes calming down.After she felt she was ready, she smoothly shuffled the cards, drew them, and solved them—and then, she came to no conclusion.

Although in the metaphysics of divination, "no conclusion" itself also means a conclusion, Fujimaru Ritsuka is still lost in thought: This is only the first step, she just wants to roughly divine the current relationship between Akuldona and The relative position between them should theoretically be able to interpret a very vague direction and a very vague distance information from the image represented by the cards.

However, during this divination, she did not draw a card that could interpret "distance". The three types of cards in the deck that could interpret the meaning of "direction" were drawn in a contradictory way as she repeatedly drew cards. The forms are all present, followed by the fourth card which means "upside down, uncertain".

There is no doubt that the divination failed.

In this type of occult ceremony, it is taboo to "ask the same question repeatedly", so after a brief thought, although she had no hope, Fujimaru Ritsuka decided to divination Captain Garibo Santo instead. The current position relative to her was then reshuffled.She and the former First Captain of the Iron Hands could only be regarded as acquaintances, and there was not much involvement in "fate". The success rate of divination was theoretically lower than that of Akuldona - as expected, Fujimaru Ritsuka This time it failed again.

The first two of the four cards interpreted the meaning of "far" and "near" respectively, while the last two showed her two images of "chaotic, unknowable" and "incomprehensible".

Fujimaru Ritsuka fell into deep thought.Then, she decided to divine the location of Elder Rilanor and shuffled the cards again.Her fate with this elder was not very deep, but this time, the operation of the four cards seemed very normal: the general direction indicated by the first two cards overlapped with the direction of Holy Terra, or in other words, the direction of the Star Torch. , the third card indicates that the distance is very "far", and the supplementary explanation of the fourth card symbolizes "difficulties and obstacles", probably referring to the need to pass through the large rift to reach that location - this fully proves that she herself There is no problem with his divination technology or this subspace that has just been liberated from the shadow of the insect nest.

That means that the only ones with problems are Akuldona and Garebo Santo.

It seems that their "disappearance" is indeed true.

Immediately afterwards, Fujimaru Ritsuka ruled out the possibility that "they were conducting an imaginary number dive".In the process of deceiving the curtain through the self-conversion between the real number domain and the imaginary number domain, divination cannot lock them.But first of all, this project does not need to and should not last too long; secondly, even if the Imperial version of the Imaginary Submarine produced by the Cursed Iron Hands really needs to spend a lot of time on this project, the cards obtained by divination will not be This should be the error.

In this case, the card should tell her directly: What you are looking for does not exist in the world.

For a moment, Fujimaru Ritsuka wanted to get up and go to Inquisitor Hastings, who was good at Emperor Tarot, to see if using another method of divination could get different answers.But then, she gave up the idea, because San Guileno told her that "Aculdona and Garibo Santo were missing."

This means that the "prophecies" of the Emperor himself, and possibly the angels, cannot reach a definite conclusion on this matter.As for the Emperor's Tarot, as a divination method that borrows the Emperor's wisdom from a carrier in the real universe, it naturally couldn't tell her more.

After another brief period of thought, Fujimaru Ritsuka decided to try to divine the "state of Akuldona".After deciding what kind of card array to use this time, she started to shuffle the cards again - but this time, when she shuffled the cards in a habitual arch bridge style, the cards that looked only slightly larger than playing cards were actually It flew out from her fingers very disobediently.

The Night Lord certified King of Thousand Kings, Fujimaru Ritsuka, shuffled the cards and flew away. If this happened at an ordinary card table, it would undoubtedly be a joke.But unfortunately, this small probability event did not happen on the card table, but on the divination table.

Was the accident that happened on the divination table a real accident, or was it inevitable that it happened under the watchful eye or interference of some existence?

After all the flying cards fell, only the "Martyr" card fell in front of Fujimaru Ritsuka in an upright reversed position.It suggests great danger, insurmountable difficulties even at the cost of one's life, reckless sacrifice, and a bad ending.

This could be a coincidence, or it could be a warning - considering her current position in the warp, and the fact that she is being watched by both the Emperor and Tzeentch, it is more likely that this is a warning from the Emperor. : Tzeentch always prefers to use this to lay out a conspiracy rather than a clear warning.

Fujimaru Ritsuka took a deep breath and decided to stop there.She picked up all the cards, rearranged the front and back of the cards and put them away again, then got up from the table and prepared to go to the lounge where the emperor's statue was placed.

——Her "stop" only refers to stopping in divination.After all, calling in foreign aid unreasonably is what the Chaldean Master is best at.Even the Emperor himself cannot see the future clearly on this issue, but as one of the few powerful psykers in the world, Fujimaru Ritsuka believes that he can immediately verify and confirm some of her conjectures.

For example: Akuldona and Garibo Santo made a mistake in a certain parameter during the imaginary submersible test, and are now trapped in some pocket dimension that is difficult to detect.
