Chapter Twenty-Nine: Osgilia? Fortune teller
Fortune tellers are a profession of life.
No matter what country you are in, no matter what era you are in, divination is a mystical science that cannot be explained by existing scientific theories. Although there are soothsayers in "Qiankun", it is impossible to be a real prophet of unpredictability, so they divinate like this:
"The crystal ball is a golden river...... You're going to hit the good luck today! Maybe just look down and get rich! "ββToday, the amount of money that players can fight monsters has increased by 15%.
"Look at your palmistry, but see the twists and turns of the future. But don't panic, there are days in the dark, but there are no dangers. - Today the player will increase the difficulty of any task and the rewards will increase accordingly.
"Ah, I see the will of the stars! You are a friend of righteousness, and everything you do is impeccable! Purge the wicked! - Today's player PK will not be marked as a red name by the system, and the evil value will not be calculated.
A soothsayer can bless a player with random states for a whole day, and sometimes the scry states are very funny, so it's a fun profession. But summoner NPCs are different, in addition to being able to bless their status, as long as they talk to them, they will hear some inexplicable words. Someone later verified that these words actually contained clues about some of the main quests, or updates to the next expansion.

Gao Fei glanced over and found a young man drinking milk tea with his neck tilted. Looking at the tattered appearance, maybe he is a down-and-out bard? Without much thought, he walked to the billboard, glued a document with a red seal to the sign, and then led the team away.
"Whew." Qingyi put down the empty cup, but he didn't dare to focus on Gao Fei, only caring about the people who looked at him.
Xue Duo smiled strangely: "Host, you are really an acting school, how can anyone drink milk tea with their necks up?" Do you think you're drinking ale? β
"I can't see it, you're still a naturalist, and you actually know the difference between drinking milk tea and drinking alcohol?" Qingyi pretended to see Gao Fei inadvertently, glanced at it and quickly shifted his gaze, and replied to Xue Duo without being salty or indifferent.
"Uncle Ben has said it before, in order to attack your world, we have a lot, a lot, a lot of information." Xue Duo looked back on the past: "My endorsement is called a hard work, converted into your time, it should be a full half a month." β
Qingyi placed the teacup on the table, paid to leave, and walked to the bulletin board.
The billboard is located on the east side of the bubble tea square, facing the bubble tea shop. There are often open quests here, and every player can accept them, and when they are completed, they only need to find the castle lord in the castle lord's mansion. Qingyi read according to the official document: "...... Because of the undead creatures of Sala Monroe, the gates opened an hour later and closed an hour earlier every day...... Any person in the profession must be accompanied by more than 15 people to leave the city, and any person in the combat profession must be accompanied by more than 5 people to leave the city...... You must register before leaving the city...... Ah, so the mission is here. For each necromantic creature killed, you get a certain amount of gold and experience...... Is it okay to have exact intel on necromantic creatures? β
System Prompt: Do you accept the Area Mission "Dark Surge in the Night"?
Tsk, it's just a matter of slaughtering a few villages and towns, and it's actually evolved into a regional mission? Qingyi smiled noncommittally, and was about to turn around to leave, when he heard someone talking beside him.
"Something interesting has finally happened! Hehe, I'm going to get rid of those necromantic creatures! It was the warrior mentor of Osgilia who spoke, and he shook his fist in battle and smiled at the archer mentor. γ
The archer mentor shrugged, clasped his hands behind his head, and strolled away: "Whatever you want." I really don't understand where your motivation comes from, wouldn't it be nice to go for a cup of milk tea? β
"Hmph, I have milk tea and milk tea all day long, I'm different from you, I like to drink spirits!" The Warrior Mentor made a fierce gesture at the back of the Archer Mentor, and said to himself, "By the way, I might as well ask the soothsayer, she might as well give me some useful tips!" β
Fortune tellers? Qingyi remembered that when he used to go out with his teammates to fight monsters and level up, he always asked the fortune teller to bless the state, so he couldn't help but be interested, followed by the warrior mentor, and also went to divinate his future.

The soothsayer's hut is located deep in an alley behind the square, and its path is so winding that it is almost as if you don't want to let your guests come to the door. Standing still around the corner, Qingyi took a closer look at the hut. Well, it's not special, if it weren't for the old wooden signboard, Qingyi almost treated the hut as a private house.
After a while, the warrior mentor came out with a happy face, walking with a spring breeze. Qingyi waited for this person to go away, and then quietly walked into the divination house.
In the Gospel, soothsayers are set up as a gypsy-style profession, so regardless of the exterior of the hut, the interior is uniformly hung with colorful blankets, crystal balls that glow mysteriously, and women masked with light veils. In the dim environment, Qingyi carefully bypassed a few ornaments and sat down on a chair.
The soothsayer was a forty-year-old aunt who wore heavy pink eyeshadow and was covered with the scent of insects that could kill all flying insects. Her plump hand moved over the crystal ball like a lover, and said, "What do you want to ask, this guest?" β
"Let's see how I'm going today." Qingyi smiled.
"Three silver coins." The soothsayer spread out his palms and made a gesture that was common all over the world to ask for money. After receiving the money, she nodded, closed her eyes, and muttered a spell, the crystal ball glowing under her fingers, and many images appeared like a marquee.
Then, when the soothsayer opened his eyes again, the whites of the eyes could no longer be distinguished from the pupils, and they were all golden. She looked at the crystal ball and said dreamily, "You come from the other side of the mountain, bringing death and flame...... You will return to the other side of the mountain, taking happiness and peace with you...... Your feet will smooth everything; Your scepter will be stuck on the corpses of the strongβ"
The golden color disappeared from his eyes, and the soothsayer covered his chest, gasping sickly, shaking his head and saying, "No, no, why do you see the milk tea square?" Why would I die today? My time of death is not yet ...... Who are you?! β
Qingyi crooked his mouth and sighed helplessly.
As if he had finally understood something, the soothsayer cried out in a heart-rending voice: "Please, don't killβ"
The voice stopped abruptly.
When Qingyi walked out, Xue Duo still muttered vigorously: "Really, I said a long time ago that you were wasting your time!" β
