The warden who guards the witches

Silver City, Sunset Avenue in the Lower City.

Aiden walked on the road with a cane, looking around.

It had been a while since he came out of prison, and walking on such an open street gave him an inexplicable sense of comfort.

This was the famous black market in the old city, where people who knew the way could buy all kinds of illegal goods such as potions, enchanted props, black magic fragments, guns and ammunition, but on the surface, this place was still just a prosperous commercial street, with clothes, leather, medicine, food, books, groceries... everything was available, and restaurants and taverns were concentrated on the corners at both ends.

But Aiden had no intention of strolling around the street, his purpose of coming out this time was to visit the mysterious fortune teller.

Information about the divine words and divinity, information about the Mother Goddess of Plenty, and the relationship between the other party and Melifilia... Now he had too many things he wanted to find out, and since Melifilia had promised him that there would be no problem meeting the other party, Aiden decided to meet the other party first.

Aiden went straight to Qiuye Lane, which Melifilia had pointed out to him, and found the designated shop.

"Jewelry shop?" Aiden looked at the sign of the small shop in front of him in surprise.

The address given by Melifilia pointed to a jewelry store called "Phantom Moon".

The sign outside the store also had words like jewelry processing and acquisition written on it... There was no mention of divination, and it seemed that the main business was to sell jewelry, not to tell fortunes.

This was exactly the opposite of the divination shops Aiden had known before. Ordinary divination shops would use the banner of divination to sell low-cost accessories that were claimed to bring good luck to customers at a relatively high price.

In Aiden's previous life, those jade jewelry stores did have magical effects such as changing luck or being good for the body as selling points, although Aiden, as a staunch atheist in his previous life, did not believe a word of this - if these things could really bring good luck, then the owner of the jade store would probably be rich just by buying lottery tickets.

In this world, opening a jewelry store, even if it is just a small store, requires a certain amount of cost, which has nothing to do with the so-called divination, which is a low-cost business. If you have the financial resources to open a jewelry store, you generally won't do this kind of roadside stall business.

But Melifilia shouldn't use such a boring trick to trick him. After repeatedly confirming the address, Aiden pushed the door and entered the store.

"Welcome." With the sound of the doorbell when the door opened, the clerk sitting behind the counter stood up and greeted him with a warm voice.

Aiden took a closer look and saw that the other party was a girl who looked about fifteen or sixteen years old and had a wheat-colored complexion. She didn't look like the owner of this place at all.

While Aiden was staring at the other party, the girl also looked him up and down.

Then, the enthusiasm on the girl's face receded like a tide.

"If you just want to stroll around, please go ahead."

The girl greeted in a casual tone, then returned to the chair she had just sat on and sat down, and even picked up the magazine she had been reading just now, without any intention of continuing to greet Aiden.

Hey, this attitude is too blatant, am I dressed so poorly? Aiden thought.

"Miss, are you a clerk here?" Aiden asked.

"Yes." The girl answered casually while flipping through a magazine, "I work part-time and watch the store for others."

"Then your boss-"

"She's out. She's not usually in the store." Before Aiden finished speaking, the girl interrupted him very rudely.

Aiden suddenly felt that this kid was very uneducated.

But he didn't want to spend time entangled with the other party. His purpose of coming out this time was to visit the fortune teller.

It sounds like the owner who doesn't often show up in the store is probably the fortune teller that Melifilia said, and the jewelry store is probably just a cover-up...

"Actually... I came to her for fortune telling." Aiden tried to ask.

"Fortune telling?" The girl finally looked at him straight in the eye, "Did you... make an appointment before?"

"Appointment?" Aiden was stunned.

"The manager only has three fortune-telling sessions a day, and this week's session is already fully booked, so you must make an appointment. In addition, each fortune-telling session costs one pound, and you must pay half of the deposit in advance." The girl frowned slightly, "You don't even know this?"

How did I know that you have such complicated rules? Is the fortune-telling business here so popular? Aiden was stunned.

There are so many customers, it's impossible that they all come to this fortune-teller to pursue becoming a god...

It seems that this fortune-teller will also accept commissions from ordinary customers, and...probably he must have some real skills, otherwise if he can't tell the right fortune with such expensive fees, this store would have been smashed long ago.

"If you want a fortune-teller, pay the deposit first, and then leave the questions you want to ask, your name and contact information." The girl took out a pen and a notebook, and said, "When the appointment time comes, come to the store and I will take you to see her."

"Can I see her first?" Aiden asked, "When will she be back?"

He would definitely not choose to find the fortune-teller in the way the girl said, not only is it troublesome... but it also costs money, and the key is that it is ridiculously expensive.

"No, no!" The girl answered firmly, "The store manager specifically said that no guests who are not scheduled will be seen. If you insist, I will kick you out!"

I can't even see her... Aiden felt a little tricky for a while.

"Then please help me convey a message to her, tell her 'I'm here to give the White Oak Tree House its second gift.'" Aiden said.

This was the code that Melifilia taught him to contact the fortune teller.

Since he couldn't see the fortune teller, he could only ask the girl in front of him to convey it.

The girl was obviously stunned when she heard his words, and then her eyes suddenly became sharp.

Aiden didn't miss the change in the other party's expression-it seemed that the other party knew this code.

He suddenly realized something, and just as he was about to speak, the girl got up on her own, walked around the counter and went straight to the door of the store, hung a "temporarily closed" sign on the outside, and then locked the door.

"You should have said it earlier, you've gone around in circles for nothing." The girl said to Aiden in a mature tone that was completely different from before, "I've been waiting for you for a long time, let's go to the room inside to talk in detail."

"After all this time, you turned out to be the fortune teller?" Aiden looked into the other party's eyes and confirmed with the other party.

"Yes, it's me. You can call me Melissa." A faint smile appeared on the face of the girl - the fortune teller Melissa. "Welcome, Aiden Garrod, the lamb who came here under the guidance of my Lord, the Goddess of Wisdom."
