The long fairy road is wonderful

Chapter 794 The Circular Narrative Tree of Destiny

As the saying goes, in the midst of strategizing, the decisive victory is thousands of miles away.Zhuge Liang was portrayed in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms as an image of being wise and close to a monster, mainly because he can pinch and count.

——Although this sentence was originally used to describe Zhang Liang.

And in a wizarding world, being able to pinch and count is literally what it means.Although there are many unreliable aspects of prophecy, early warning will be of great help in many cases, and it is no wonder that the defense is extremely tight.

Lin Tianci got off the carriage, and Gerald, who had been waiting for a while, came up to say a few words of courtesy, and then said:
"Mr. Lin, you should understand the importance of a prophetic person to us. I hope you won't tell what happened here."

Geralt always thought that Lin Tianci was a member of the White Hands Association. He said this because he was a little worried that the White Hands Association would sell the information as a commodity.

Of course, Lin Tianci agreed with all his mouth. He is not a big-mouthed person. As for whether Saili will sell the information...

Then it's none of his business.

Following Geralt into the gate of the small building on the second floor, the first thing that came into view was a fairly wide hall, and one of his men greeted him and said:
"Boss, grandma said that she is ready and can make predictions at any time."

This person happened to be the one who knelt on the ground and was punished for saying the wrong thing before. He looked only seventeen or eighteen years old, younger than Brother Lin.

Gerald nodded and winked at the others.

Except for the young man, the rest of the subordinates dispersed to stand guard at the gate.

Let's not talk about the fighting power of Gerald's gang, his crotch-holding skills are really proficient...

Then it was the young man who led the way, passed through a corridor and then went up the stairs to the second floor.

Unlike the layout of the first floor, which is no different from ordinary residents, the second floor seems to have opened up several rooms together, leaving a space that is too wide for living, forming a living room that is several sizes larger.

Lin Tianci and the others came up from the stairs on one side, and they happened to be able to see a thick gauze curtain hanging in the center of the living room. Through the gauze curtain and with the help of the sunlight from the window, a crooked figure appeared behind the gauze curtain.

"Grandma, the boss and the others are here."

"Master Gerald? Oh, you haven't been here for a long time."

The voice also fits the title of grandma, and it sounds like she is 70 or [-] years old.

Gerald, who has always had a poker face, also showed a smile, but it also made the scar on his face look a little hideous:
"Grandma Julie, it's me, how are you resting?"

"It's just that I'm getting older. It wasn't like this when your grandfather and father were still there. It seems that I should report to them."

"Grandma Julie, it seems that you will have to help me for decades."

"Hehe, the young master is still as kind as before."

She is the only one who can comment on kindness to the gang boss who kills without batting an eyelid.

"Then, the young master came here to make another prophecy. It just so happens that I have almost rested, and I should be able to get more clues than last time."

"That's right, but Grandma Julie, I brought a friend who was looking for the sapphire in that picture."

"Really? Then there's no need for the curtains, O'Neill, hurry up and help me take off the curtains."

Different prophecy ceremonies have different requirements. Sometimes outsiders are not allowed to watch during the prophecy, so there is a gauze curtain.

The young man who led them quickly put away the hung curtains. There should be a slide rail on it, which can be quickly put away with a single pull.Lin Tianci also saw the true face of this predictor.

Unexpectedly young?
The interrogative sentence is because Lin Tianci is a little uncertain whether he is young or not.

Grandma Zhu Li, as everyone said, looks similar to a young girl in her 30s and [-]s. Her skin is still plump and shiny, and she is not dry like ordinary old people at all.

But she was hunched, sitting on a cushion behind a square table, she looked as if she was paralyzed on it, and she felt tired even sitting.

What is more eye-catching is her eyes. There are no pupils, only a piece of white, like a porcelain sphere stuffed into it.

"Mr. Lin, please come with me."

After Geralt finished speaking, he walked towards Grandma Julie, followed by Lin Tianci, who injected mana into the brooch to contact Saili.

The latter responded quickly. She also wanted to see how many prophecy users in the city of water had skills, but she was very savvy and didn't speak now.

"Mr. Lin? It seems to be a strange surname, Master Gerald. The friend you found is not easy."

I don't know how she judged it, Lin Tianci clasped his fists across the table, and planned to say a few polite words.

At this time, I saw Grandma Zhuli reaching out and groping in a daze.

"Sorry, I can't see, can Mr. Lin give me his hand?"

Lin Tianci looked at Gerald, who nodded.

Is this for the blind to touch their bones?
"The last time an outsider came was 30 years ago, and I haven't seen an outsider for a long time. I don't know if I can judge accurately."

She grasped Lin Tianci's right hand, and swept her fingertips across the palm lines:

"He's a good man with a kind heart, and his life span is...strange."

"Grandma Julie, what's the matter?"

"Your friend's lifespan is unbelievably long. Is this really human?"

This person named Grandma Julie really has two talents. A monk can live for at least 1000 years, which is unbelievably long for ordinary people.

Geralt gave Brother Lin a deep look, and the latter shrugged his shoulders to indicate your guess.

"And...hahahahaha."

Halfway through the talk, she actually laughed so hard that she was almost out of breath:

"Master, you just said that he is your friend, don't be ridiculous, how can we people who live in the gutter be able to climb high, this Mr. Lin has an extraordinary background."

"Grandma Julie..."

Holding Lin Tianci's hand and laughing like crazy, this scene is really too much, Geralt nodded helplessly.

"You may not understand, but it doesn't matter. Since there are such people related to the prophecy, I think we should be able to get more accurate clues."

She let go of Lin Tianci's hand, and said:

"O'Neal, bring me my cards."

"Grandma, do you really want to play cards? Your body..."

Even Geralt was a little moved when he heard that he was going to get the cards.

As I said just now, different prophecy ceremonies have different requirements, and the accuracy and consumption are naturally different. This person named Grandma Julie has never used cards to prophesy a few times in her life, and the consumption is particularly high.

It was fine when I was young, but now that I am older, maybe halfway through the prophecy, I will not be able to carry the crane west.

"If you are told to take it, you can take it. You don't have an idea and your brain is not easy to use, so you have to listen more, watch more and learn more. Why did the young master bring you by your side? Don't you know how to get enlightened?"

O'Neill was scolded and told his grandson...he seemed to be the grandson.

Now that Grandma Julie has made up her mind, grandson O'Neill can only obediently take out a small wooden box from a side cabinet, which contains a thick stack of cards made of cardboard.

But the strange thing is that these playing cards do not have any patterns. At first glance, they look like slightly yellowed white cardboard. They are long strips, longer than playing cards.

He handed the cards to Grandma Julie, who whirled a little before placing them on the corner of the table.

"I'm about to start. Please, young master, don't leave this room and don't make a sound."

This was basically said to Lin Tianci, and everyone else obviously knew the rules.

Immediately, Grandma Julie pressed her hands on the table. At that moment, Lin Tianci, who had a keen sense, noticed a special wave spreading from her. The movement was very fast and very slight. If he hadn't focused on her every move, he might have It is easily overlooked in normal times.

At the same time, the cards on the table that could only be called white cardboard seemed to be picked up by a pair of invisible hands, and one by one they floated towards the air. Dozens of white cardboard cards seemed to be aimlessly in the room. like drifting.

"I saw... the Grim Reaper from the Southwest."

As soon as the voice fell, one of the white cardboards floating around fell onto the table, and the card that was originally a piece of white paper quickly emerged with colors and patterns, turning into a skeleton riding a white horse and carrying a sickle.

"Death and an unknown magician are conspiring. I see the crimson sword, the shining holy grail, the noble priestess, the optimistic and confident fool, the young emperor, the wheel of fortune, the hermit, and the world."

A piece of cardboard fell from midair one after another and turned into a pattern similar to a tarot card. I don't know if there is some connection among them, or the order is a bit confusing. Anyway, I can't understand it at present.

"The tower, the tower is approaching, a huge threat is approaching!"

When the last cardboard with the pattern of "Cracked Tower" landed on the table, and all the other white cards floating around fell down with a swipe, Grandma Julie lay down like a deflated ball On the upholstered.

O'Neill and Geralt tried to help, but both moved their feet and had to stand still.

Because the prophecy is not over, if it is interrupted at this time, not only will all previous efforts be wasted, but in serious cases, it may even be life-threatening.

Grandma Julie was really old, and using card predictions was a severe test for her. She lay down on the cushion for almost a minute before she slowly sat up again with support.

Brown pupils appeared in the originally white eyeballs like porcelain, like a fog that had dissipated, but her eyes were dull, she didn't seem to be looking at the things in front of her, but cast her eyes elsewhere.

I don't know what other people can't see. In Lin Tianci's eyes, he saw a strange disc-shaped object emerging from behind Grandma Julie. There were many, dense engravings on it. It is an intangible mirage.

As her prophecy unfolded, the image behind her became clearer, and within a few seconds it became like the real thing, shining in the sunlight.

That is actually the realization of her ability, and it is still a phantom in essence, not an entity.

The circular narrative tree of fate can make extremely accurate predictions by gathering the conditions. The only problem is that it takes a long time to rest once it is used.

"In an alley, I saw the beginning of the threat."

Accompanied by Grandma Julie's slightly hoarse voice, she began to tell...
