Doomsday Totem

Chapter 224 Divination
A few minutes later, Xiaoyue came to the table and greeted a little embarrassedly: "Hello, we...we meet again." At this moment, under the dim light, the girl's face was flushed, full of embarrassing emotions. Feeling shy.

Tie Slag made a "please" gesture, motioning for her to sit down.Xiaoyue was stunned for a moment, then sat down.Then, she looked at the three gold coins on the table flickeringly, her face flickered, and she seemed a little hesitant.

Seeing her nervous expression, Tie Zha knew that she had misunderstood, and was about to explain, but she raised her head and said first: "Sir, can I add another seven gold coins?" Before Tie Zha could answer, she hurriedly explained , "I... I still need to pay five gold coins to the bar as an introduction fee this time, so..."

"I'm going to find someone in the old street, and I need a guide who is familiar with the place to lead the way. This is the employment fee." In order to avoid deepening the misunderstanding, Tie Slag interrupted her and said.

"Ah..." Xiaoyue opened her mouth wide and cried out involuntarily.

"Is it possible?" Tie Slag asked.

"Who are you looking for?" After a while, Xiaoyue recovered from her surprise and asked while looking at Tie Slag.

"I don't know him, and I don't know his name. I only know that he is a blind old man." Tie Slag said.

Xiaoyue thought for a while, and asked uncertainly: "What you said...are you always blind?"

"Who is Old Blind Eye?" Tie Slag asked.

"It's a very old fortune teller. I heard from my grandma that she was blind here when she was a child." Xiaoyue said.

"A fortuneteller? Is that the kind of liar who can predict the future and occasionally heal people?" Tie Slag asked.In his impression, fortune tellers do this kind of thing, and there are several such liars in Tieshan Town.They fiddled with crystal balls mysteriously, or threw some black bamboo splinters to the ground, and then claimed that they could see the future.A fortune teller once predicted to him: "You may be unlucky recently." So, the fortune teller was beaten up by him.Since then, all fortune tellers in Tieshan Town have met him with one sentence: "Your future is bright."

When he was very young, the old man Tie told him that a man's fate should be in his own hands, don't believe in those pretentious things, if they can really foresee the future, they don't need to dawdle in Iron Mountain Town.

"Old Blind is not a liar. My grandma said that when I was young, I had a lot of red rashes on my body, and I asked him to cure them." Xiaoyue explained.

"En." Tie Slag nodded, without dwelling on this issue, and then said, "Let's go, take me to have a look."

"Okay, wait a minute, I'm going to change clothes." After speaking, Xiaoyue ran to the back of the bar like a gust of wind.Not long after, she changed into a slightly worn gray cloth dress, ran back to Tie Slag, tilted her head and smiled, and called softly, "Let's go." Tie Slag stood up immediately, and took Xiaoyue left the bar.

A moment later, on the street of the shop, a young man was walking side by side with a young girl.I saw them walking towards the west of Wind Sand Castle in the thin morning light...

At the same time, at the other end of Seth's Gate, thousands of miles away from Quicksand Town, in a steel fortress with several long crimson banners hanging upside down, a handsome blond man is sitting at a large desk After that, listen to the subordinate's report.

"Reporting sir, we have now confirmed that the two pieces of power armor sent by the secretary-general of CSUM belong to the two missing expeditionary knights." A captain said.

"Hmm..." The blond man twirled the exquisite black pen in his hand, pondered for a moment, and said, "We still need more evidence. Although Bi Xiaoniu provided the suspect's information, I think she has another purpose. Maybe she is just trying to eradicate dissidents, in order to avoid being used by her, we should be more cautious." He stared at his subordinates, paused for a while, then suddenly his face darkened, and ordered, "Find out for me, how did they do it? To these two power armors."

"Yes, sir." The captain stood at attention and gave a military salute, replied loudly, then turned and left.

"Wait..." Before leaving, the blond man stopped him again, and reminded him, "Start with the black market in Dark Night Town."

"Yes!" The captain saluted again.

After the captain left, the blond man opened the notebook on the desk.I saw a photo of a girl sandwiched between the white pages of the book.Taking a closer look, the girl in the photo with bright eyes and white teeth, wearing a golden dragon cheongsam, is Bi Qinglan, the secretary-general of the student union of the Central Silver City Military Academy.The man picked up the photo, looked at it carefully for a while, and then said to himself: "Beauty, if you want others to do things, you have to pay a price."

"Dududu...dududu..."

Just then, his communicator rang.Glancing at the number on the screen, he was startled, quickly put down the photo and sat up, and connected the video communication respectfully.

The screen of the communicator flashed, and a handsome young man with sword eyebrows and starry eyes appeared.This man is tall and straight, dressed in the uniform of a major general, and has the iconic short silver hair. He is the second heir of the Lombard family - Eugene Lombard.

"General Lombar, hello." The man greeted.

"Major Field, please find out the reason for the disappearance of the two expeditionary knights as soon as possible." Eugene said expressionlessly.

"Yes, sir." Major Field replied loudly while saluting the communicator.As soon as the voice fell, the communication was hung up over there.Looking at the dark screen, he realized that this incident could not be delayed any longer and must be resolved as soon as possible.

Just two hours after the video communication between Major Field and Major General Eugene Lombard, Iron Slag and Xiaoyue came to the old street west of Sandcastle.

Standing on a high place and looking around, the houses in the old street are very dense, mainly composed of two-story brick buildings.The passages between buildings are very narrow and can barely accommodate three or four people in parallel.Walking into the old street, the alley is very lively with people coming and going.Back here, Xiaoyue's mood became brighter. From time to time, she took the iron slag to look at this and that, and introduced the long history and customs of the old street.

After making seven turns in the alley, Xiaoyue brought Iron Slag to a relatively wide alley.The alley is about four meters wide, with tricycles parked on both sides.Looking left and right, every tricycle is a small stall, some sell meals, some sell daily necessities, some sell clothes, newspapers, tools, and even buy second-hand guns and second-hand cars. Everything, sell everything...

Xiaoyue introduced while walking.This alley is what people call the old street, which has a history of hundreds of years.It is said that the sand castle was expanded from here.Although the houses here are old, they are all solid and solid. After hundreds of years, they still stand on this land.

Tie Slag didn't have much interest in the history of this place, so he just listened to every word for entertainment.As he walked, Tie Slag saw a large pot on a tricycle.At this moment, the oil in the pot is boiling, and there are a few long strips of "noodles" floating on it.Seeing that he was interested, Xiaoyue took out a copper coin and threw it into the small basket in front of the vendor, saying, "Boss, here are two."

"Okay." The vendor took out two newspapers cut into squares, wrapped two "fried noodles" respectively, and handed them to Xiaoyue.Xiaoyue took it, handed it to Iron Slag, and reminded: "Be careful of burning."

"Yeah." Tie Slag nodded and took a bite.This stuff is fragrant and crispy in the mouth.Xiaoyue said that this is one of the snacks in the Far East, called "fried dough sticks".Tie Slag thought it tasted good, and thought that he would let the chef accompanying the army cook it after he went back.

The two ate while walking. After walking for a long way, Xiaoyue turned into an alley with iron slag. After walking for a few minutes, she stopped and pointed to an old building, saying that this is the place where the old blind man lived. fortune teller shop.

Looking along Xiaoyue's fingers, there is a black sunshade cloth hanging on the narrow shop door. Looking carefully, the sunshade cloth is covered with oil stains, like a rag that has not been washed for many years, it feels dirty.Tie Slag couldn't help but frowned. Although he often didn't take a bath, he wasn't so dirty.Seemingly aware of his hesitation, Xiaoyue hurriedly stepped forward to lift up the shade cloth, and he walked in immediately.

At this time, the light in the store was very dim, and he could barely see the surrounding situation clearly.This is a room less than ten square meters, with a low table in the middle and a crystal ball on the table.And behind the low table, sitting cross-legged, was a thin old man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks and hollow eye sockets.

"Who?" Sensing someone coming in, the old man moved and asked.

"Master, I'm Xiaoyue." "Xiaoyue? What Xiaoyue?" "Xiaoyue in Beixiang, do you remember? You once cured the red rash on my body." "Red rash? Okay, okay , have you given me money?" "Yes..." "Do you still have red rashes?" "No..." "Then why are you here? Are you going to donate money?" "No... no, a guest wants to Find you, and I'll bring it here."

"Is he rich?" the old man asked hastily.

"Ah..." Xiaoyue was at a loss for words for a while, unable to speak for a long time.

"If you don't have money, don't bring it here." The old man sighed and said listlessly when he didn't hear an affirmative answer.

"Ding." At this moment, Tie Slag took out a gold coin and threw it on the low table.The moment he heard the movement, the old man quickly reached out to grab it, and the gold coin that was still dancing on the table disappeared immediately.

"Golden coin...golden coin..." The old man laughed cheerfully, showing his jagged yellow teeth.Seeing this, Iron Slag couldn't help but frowned, and began to wonder if he had come to the wrong place.

"My guest, what can I do to help you? Let me tell you that although the old blind man can't see, he has a clear mind and knows the laws of heaven and earth. He can help you solve problems, answer questions, and give advice. The sun faces the sky, the flood rushes into the Dragon King Temple, and when the road is uneven, he draws his sword to help..." The old man shook his head and chattered endlessly.
