Chapter 204: The Meaning of the World

The goddess holds a scepter and crosses the Ouroboros.

This is the picture depicted in the twenty-first Tarot card of the Great Arcana 'World'. Ouroboros means eternity and the world, and the goddess who holds a scepter is considered the truth by most shamans.

That's not the point - it's common sense that even the tricksters of Betatown North can explain it for half an hour, and many of them enjoy it.

After all, this is one of the few magical topics that a prankster can discuss with a real wizard.

The point is that the 'world' turned out by the gypsy witch is a reversed card, and Zheng Qing's code name in 'Wand' happens to be 'world' again.

It doesn't get any worse than that.

For a moment, Zheng Qing regretted that he had done this divination casually. For most wizards, it is ridiculous to pin their hopes on a few cards, a wisp of smoke, or a crystal ball. But if the real divination comes to a bad conclusion, no wizard will turn a blind eye.

This is also the reason why many old-school shamans reject divination - if you don't look at it, you won't make changes, and it doesn't matter what fate is arranged.

Immediately, the young public scholarship student noticed that the gypsy witch was more uneasy than him, and a warm current suddenly surged in his heart.

"It seems that 'Wand' used my name for divination before releasing this year's Arcana list. ”

The boy jokingly took the card and flipped it between his fingers:

"Let me think about it...... Well, reversing the 'world' means being unprepared, giving up halfway, emotionally immature, and failing. I remember the Doctor once analyzing that the inverted 'world' was actually a salted fish, living a life of ease and no motivation. ”

"Very interesting insight. The witch smiled reluctantly, still with a hint of worry on her face. There is no doubt that she has taken up a sinister conclusion, which is not changed by a playful opinion.

It's just that Zheng Qing doesn't think so.

He turned the cards in his hand upside down and put them back in front of the witch.

"Look, my reversal, your alignment. ”

The boy nodded the cards on the table a little ostentatiously, and emphasized: "As the old saying goes, blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, and fate is always playing with a yin and yang fish." You stand on the bridge and look at the scenery, and the people watching the scenery look at you from under the bridge. ”

"Heads or tails depend on the angle you look at the card. ”

"From my point of view, it's a reversed card, a result of being unprepared and facing failure, but from your point of view, it's a straight card and you're going to succeed and have a perfect ending. ”

"How do you know that the problem I just divined is the one I spoke of earlier?"

"Really?" the witch seemed to grasp the glimmer of hope, and her eyes lit up.

The boy held his head in his hands, leaned back slightly, and showed a relaxed smile on his face: "I can't tell you this...... Bu said, don't say, don't say. ”

......

......

While the two young witches and wizards hid in the corner of the classroom, divining with tarot cards, two rats were facing each other in the ruins of the temple deep in the Silent Forest, calculating their future.

"You've dealt cards three times, haven't you figured out the answer to your question?" the rat fairy sat on a high-backed chair, his legs hanging on the edge of the chair, and his tone was a little impatient: "A question divination three times is not more effective than a placebo." ”

Theoretically, the same problem can only be divined once, and only the conclusion of the first divination is valid.

"These three times I asked different questions!"

Instead of sitting on the futon, Fei Rui got up and wandered between the cards, finally picking up the smoothest one and flipping it over: "Straight, world...... Hell it's the world again!

At the moment, they were in a large, empty room, surrounded by carved balustrades, but there was nothing of furniture, only a futon and a high-backed chair, and a stack of tarot cards between the futon and the chair.

The red-vested attendants of the Rat Immortals were not around it.

In the evening, the gray sky poured through the glass window into the empty room, and reflected on the faces of the two mice, the same gloomy and the same gray.

The rat immortal drooped his beard, and his tone was a little embarrassed: "The world ...... The twenty-first card is the beginning and end of time, the origin and destruction of the world, and the last number in the world. It represents a perfect summary and a representation of infinite possibilities. In the face of the previous 'judgment', the world replanted the seeds. ”

"The first time you flipped up, it was the 'world' in reverse...... What was your first question?"

Fei Rui held the tarot cards and sat on the futon, his eyes a little dull: "I want to ask if that old guy is still there." ”

The answer is pessimistic. The Rat Immortal commented: "From your point of view, the pessimistic conclusion means that the nameless principal is still there." But at the same time, the inverted world also represents the 'end of a past', so you don't need to dwell on this issue anymore. And the second question? I remember it was a reversed world. ”

"I thought so too. After hearing the Rat Immortal's solution, Fei Rui seemed to finally have some courage and cheered up a little: "The second question, I want to ask if our plan can succeed." ”

"It depends both on the scope of your 'plan' and on your definition of 'success'. The Rat Immortal was clearly not satisfied with Fei Rui's second question: "If you make it a 'plan' to finally master the forbidden spell, capture the Xuanhuang Fruit, and defeat the First University, even the tricksters of the North District will laugh at you." The results of the divination do not deceive you...... You could have asked clearer questions. ”

Fei Rui scratched the heart of his feet and sighed deeply.

"What about the third question?" the rat immortal also sighed and continued to ask.

"The key to our success this time. Fei Rui muttered, holding the tarot card in his arms, which was slightly larger than his size, and turned it over and over again.

A smile finally appeared on the chubby pointed face of the rat immortal:

"'The last card of the big card, the world means that your own world has taken shape, and the harvest in the journey has been completed in the last stage, forming a world of one's own, completing the task of the fool, and coming to an end' - this is the interpretation of the meaning of the 'world' card in the "Tarot", and I think it is very appropriate to use it here. ”

"What do you say?" Fei Rui looked up blankly.

"Who is the Fool?" the Rat Immortal asked rhetorically.

Fei Rui was stunned, and then pondered.

In the Arcana list released by "Wand", every year, every issue, there are always changes in one way or another. Only the 'fool' who is the first big name always belongs to the president of the first university. l0ns3v3
