Is this the "Tower"? ”

Under the snow, my heart is cold, this seems to represent destruction?

It seems that there is no good interpretation of the interpretation of this card, whether it is positive or reversed, and it is related to what this person just said, does it mean that he is going to experience something very bad next?

"Well, it's a tower...... What's the matter, under the snow, are you also interested in tarot cards? ”

Xia Ran nodded very lightly, took the tarot card back with his hand, and began to shuffle the cards. Looking at his expression, it seemed that he just pulled out a random one and looked at it, as if he didn't have any special meaning in it.

However, Xue Xia did not let go of this, because she knew that if this person wanted to hide something, then it was basically impossible to expect him to reveal some clues from his expression.

"I'm not interested, I've just learned some basic information recently, and I probably know some ......."

The girl shook her head, denying the possibility, she really had little interest in these things, at least not before, and even scoffed at them.

If it's an ordinary high school girl, then you should be able to talk about things like horoscopes and divination, and even be obsessed with them, unable to extricate yourself, and believe in those things...... However, it is impossible to behave like this under the snow.

Ordinary girls are full of romance, fate, and fate......

At that time, under the snow, only science and reason were known.

She knows very well what the Barnum Effect is, that it is a psychological phenomenon, specifically that people often think of as a general, general description of personality that reveals their own characteristics very accurately.

- Even if this description is empty, once it is described in a general paragraph that can be applied to almost anyone, it will lead the vast majority of people to think that the passage portrays itself in a nuanced and accurate way.

If a girl as calm as she is also manipulated by the Barnum effect and fascinated by these inexplicable things, it is an incredible fantasy.

Even if I only learned about it recently, it was because I was involved in an extraordinary incident, witnessed the existence of a mysterious world, and determined that someone around me was actually a part of it, so I ...... She's going to try to understand those things.

And tarot cards, as one of the elements of occult symbols in the minds of the vast majority of ordinary people, are naturally one of the items worth her special attention to.

It can also be seen from this incident that she asked Xia Ran for his study notes yesterday, not on an impromptu basis, but because she had already had the idea of wanting to know more about his world before.

"That's right, but that's normal...... Actually, I only know a few things, and I'm probably no different from you. ”

Xia Ran smiled at the girl, her tone was very gentle, and she said sincerely-

"It's just to know the interpretation of some cards, the degree of interpretation of positive and inverted, and I haven't understood it in more depth."

“……”

“……”

"Are you stupid to me?" He said angrily under the snow.

"Huh?"

"If you really don't know anything about it, why use tarot cards for divination, don't you think it's too child's play?" The girl looked at him with disdain, this person really came with his mouth open, and he didn't even make a draft when he lied.

Wait, wait, if that's the case, doesn't it mean that the results of his divination are really bad, and he doesn't really want to tell himself about this kind of thing, so he pretends to be such an understatement?

The expression under the snow changed slightly, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the young man in front of him: "What is the result of divination?" ”

"Huh?"

"What is the result of the divination?" The girl did not have the slightest impatience, but repeated her question again, as if she must get an answer.

"It's okay, it's not good, it's not bad......" Xia Ran thought for a moment and replied.

"Really?"

"Really......" The magician looked at the girl in front of him strangely, and then seemed to understand something, and laughed dumbly, "The tower just now was just drawn by me, and the divination was over before it, and that card doesn't mean anything." ”

With that, he drew another card from the tarot card in his hand, but it happened to be the original tower, but this time it was reversed, and the previous draw was positive.

Xia Ran looked at the face of the tarot cards, and then shook his head with a smile-

"The sudden and unpredictable intensity of change is unacceptable, and no haughty human being can match the power of nature, which only provokes the wrath of God...... This is the story of the Tower of Babel, right? ”

With that, he also glanced at Artoria on the side, the knight king seemed to have said this allusion before, and now he had drawn this card again......

It's just a coincidence, the divination he'd done before, and now he's just playing with a pure random card drawing, but just when he was drawing the tower, he came to the activity room under the snow and happened to see it.

That's right, it's just a coincidence, it's not a big deal, and there's nothing to be afraid of......

"Positive position represents adversity, fatal blows, great changes, playing with fire and self-immolation...... But evasion is not the way to go, and it is necessary to have the courage to challenge, even if it seems to be powerful. ”

The magician looked at the tarot cards in his hand, gathered his thoughts, and seemed to say this very lazily-

"Reversal represents a dilemma, a tendency to stabilize, and arrogance will pay the price and fight against the water...... So don't blindly resist change happening, because that will only lead to greater change, and no matter how much you resist, change will happen. ”

He wisely chose the career interpretation instead of the emotional interpretation, after all, the latter ...... How stupid does it have to be for someone to say it?

"It doesn't sound like a good thing, but it has nothing to do with me......" Xia Ran was very unimpressed.

Xue Xia raised his eyebrows, and subconsciously looked at Saber, only to see that the legendary girl king nodded lightly, which was considered to confirm the master's statement - the divination had ended before, and the current one was not divination.

The girl was somewhat relieved, exhaled softly, and then asked, "Then why do you say that you don't know tarot cards?" ”

"I really don't know, but divination generally requires the use of media, fortune tellers also need to read palmistry, or word measurement and other means, in ancient times there were also means of burning turtle shells, as for astrology, six yao, plum blossoms, Qimen, not to mention......"

Xia Ran explained as a matter of course: "If I could directly foresee the future, or use the Elder Scrolls, I wouldn't have to be so troublesome...... So you still need to use something to help you determine your fortune. ”

"So you used tarot cards?"

Snow didn't know what The Elder Scrolls was, so she just asked.

"yes, it at least offers pretty good options, and it gives each card a different interpretation and interpretation, and the possibilities are almost infinite when combined with each other......"

Xia Ran still looks like he takes it for granted, he just thinks it's easier to use, so he chose it this way, and there is no other reason.

After all, at least each card of the tarot card has a defined definition, and using it as a medium to substitute the correct divination method will be accurate and much more convenient...... If you burn a turtle shell to see cracks, or look at the residue of tea leaves, or try to see through the crystal ball through the fog of the future......

Forget about this, this is neither intuitive nor clear, and when interpreted, it will definitely be affected by its own subconscious, and it cannot be mastered by non-top prophets, Xia Ran feels that he is a temporary person like this, and he doesn't have any talent.

Or the medium of tarot cards is more suitable, intuitive and clear.

"I see...... Xue Xia carefully looked at the person to make sure he wasn't hiding anything, before bowing his head slightly, "But is this really not a problem?" You just drew another tower card, right? ”

"Ah, you say this, there will be no problem, although direct drawing cards is actually a kind of divination that ordinary people can use, because theoretically it is the most intuitive hint and embodiment of fate, and there is no other messy influence......"

Xia Ran waved his hand, shuffled the cards very disappreciatively, and then drew another card from it-

"But I specially extracted it again in order to explain it to you, otherwise why would it be so accurate? If it weren't cheating, it was just pure randomness, there wouldn't be such a coincidence, you see...... Hey? ”

He was slightly stunned, and found that it was actually the same tower again.

“……”

“……”

There was a sudden silence in the activity room, and there was an eerie feeling that the sunset outside the window seemed so dazzling this time.

"Ahem, this is definitely a small probability event, I can't explain anything! And although this method is theoretically the most intuitive and can be used by ordinary people, it is only theoretical, and there is a difference in practice......"

Xia Ran coughed, said with a serious face, and then quickly shuffled the cards and drew one again: "Look...... Not this time, right? ”

This time, he drew a "magician" card, and the table of the card was placed with the four elements of the universe, which were the scepter symbolizing fire, the sword symbolizing wind, the star coin symbolizing earth, and the holy grail symbolizing water.

The magician holds a scepter in his right hand and points to the sky with his left, with roses and lilies under his feet, an infinite symbol on top of his head, and a belt of snakes with ends and ends, a symbol of eternity.

The interpretation of the cards has many meanings, such as representing the transfer of power and the gift of spirit, for example, representing human motives and reflecting the will of God......

Xia Ran also subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, this time it was also randomly selected, if he really drew out the tower, he would also feel creepy. Fortunately, there are no such small probability events in a row.

He tried to draw another one, this time a "Hangman" card, which was also not a Tower card.

Xia Ran suddenly felt relieved, and smiled at the girl: "You see, this method is actually not very reliable, there is no accuracy, don't worry about ......"

Under the snow glanced at him, reached out and drew a card.

- That's a "lover" card.
