Chapter 147: A half-assed astrologer
"Now is not the time to ask any more questions." William nodded and motioned for the orc followers behind him to step into the carriage, and pulled Marshall next to him into the carriage in front of him. "There are windows in the carriage, you can look at it as you like."
Marshall discovered that Tong did not get into his own carriage, but got into another one with other orcs.
The little girl looked at the streets of this wonderful city. Under the starry sky, even a small stone became dazzling: "Why aren't Tong and us together?"
"The carriage is so big, are you sure you can fit him in?" William pretended to be surprised and spread his hands and said, "It has been arranged before, and there is nothing we can do about it."
"Really?" Marshall stared at William with a suspicious look, "Okay...by the way, what are our future arrangements?"
William pinched his chin, rolled his eyes and said: "It's not too late for us to find a place to live first, and then we will meet a very beautiful big sister. I am sure you will like her."
Marshall didn't want to pay attention to such nonsense...What big sister...it's so weird...
William actually doesn't know how to communicate as a friend with a little girl who can even be his daughter...
"Let's find a hotel to stay in first—"
By coincidence, the space in front of William suddenly shrank, and with a crisp pop, a thin letter was quickly thrown down from the crack in the space.
William caught the starlight from the corner of his eye and knew it was Tara's handiwork.
"Why did a letter suddenly appear?" Marshall was startled. Looking at her chest that was rising and falling, it seemed that she had not yet recovered.
"He's an old friend of mine," William happily opened the seal of the letter and began to read Tara's letter to himself. "I guess you don't know her yet, but you will get to know her soon."
William allowed Marshall to read the contents of his letter on the sidelines because of his previous warnings that the little girl must not see things she shouldn't see, although he could not be sure of the "Okay" that Tara said with a smile.
"What exactly does it mean...
But he has to believe it even if he doesn’t believe it, right?
"Dear Mr. William, and Miss Marshall: Welcome to [City of Stars] Sisig -" William's brows suddenly frowned, "Did you think I wouldn't write like this? My dear Mr. William? It seems like
You also know that with my straightforward and sweet personality, it is absolutely impossible for me to write such a greasy and meaningless welcome speech~"
"..." Marshall wanted to ask this so-called friend if he had crossed the boundary of "friend" with him, but in the end he held back, "This friend of yours is very interesting."
"Haha, she is indeed very interesting." William scratched his head and continued reading, "In short, in short, in [City of Stars], you should eat and drink, just like living in your own home
, don’t be restrained. You should have already
I have already sat on the carriage of that weak coachman. William, there is no need to look for the hotel you are looking for. You can just stay in the VIP lounge area of the branch of the Star Club. The goods in your car will be sent directly to write to
I, I will help you make arrangements."
"She looks rich," Marshall said.
William scratched his chin and said: "She is not only very rich, let's continue. I know everything. It would be best if Marshall is here to read this letter with you. If not,
, then please help me give her a message.
.Looking back is very important, but looking forward is the main tone of life. Everyone has his destination. Empathy is just a very vague concept. If you indulge in the pain of the past, there will be no one at all.
I will feel sorry for you and just feel bored."
Marshall pursed his lips and continued to read the second half of the letter.
"When I first saw you, you were still playing with the golden rose in the corridor of the Palace of Porcello. I don't know if you still remember the eldest sister holding an oversized book," William did not
Thinking that the two of them had met before, he said, "I didn't let you read this book before. If you meet later, I will gladly open this [Astrology Book] for you. I believe the patterns inside will definitely surprise you."
My jaw will drop!"
"Have you two met before?"
"Hmm..." Marshall thought for a moment before thinking of the tall sister who entered the political hall after refusing to touch the book. "I remember her, she was very good-looking."
"Hahahaha!" William laughed so hard that he slapped his thigh, "It seems you really have a big impression on her!"
"...."
"Do you know her name? Tallenwell."
Marshall shook his head in denial.
"Then you know it now." William put the letter away in his clothes, "She is one of the leaders of the Star Society, one of the big organizations in the City of Stars. It doesn't even need to be said that she is one of them, she is the leader.
I believe you have also heard about Xingchenhui, who is the owner of the Dyeing Tower, a place for ordinary people to perform dyeing."
"Then can I go to the local infestation tower for infusion?" Marshall suddenly became interested, but then she thought about it. If Charlie discovered the strangeness of her body, she would have to finish the fun again, "It seems that this is not possible...
..."
"There are always opportunities, and there are always ways, right?" William rubbed Marshall's soft hair and looked at the stars flashing outside the window, "This is the [City of Stars], and opportunities are like those in the sky.
There are as many stars as there are. If you wander around a lot, you will eventually find it.”
After that, there was no conversation all the way. Marshall couldn't bear the fatigue from the journey, and finally fell asleep heavily on William's body, while William leaned on the edge of the carriage and looked at the scenery of Philaby in the breeze.
It's the "first half of the night" in Philabi. Even though the sun rises and sets rapidly in the sky like a roller coaster, the stars all over the sky serve as the sun's proper position.
The bright starlight is dense and dense, covering the ground with a layer of neon glow. People who come here for the first time usually have a sense of déjà vu, "Am I dreaming?" Even William, who has been here before, can't help but wonder.
Feel admiration.
"Let's let Marshall go out for a while first... It's better to let the guards take him, at least there won't be any trouble." William seemed to be talking to himself, and seemed to be talking to someone who fell asleep next to him.
Marshall heard, "The orc rebellion is only in the imperial capital... I don't know what these idiots are thinking."
Yaris is a country of all nations. Why is it called a country of all nations? In terms of the "interesting" level of this country, each of the twelve regions has its own "characteristics".
Don’t even think about unifying the Yaris in just a few years.
After Marshall returned to the hotel, he still lived with the orcs. This time his "roommate" was changed from the muscular wolf orc Haru to the fat Tong. The originally soft short hair became rougher, but the bear himself
Its softness is not inferior to that of a wolf.
The little girl finally had a good sleep, and the subsequent journey became much safer.
The next morning, Marshall did not see William in the VIP living room of the Star Club. Tong told her that William had gone to do his own business, and everyone else could move freely, as long as he came back before the end of the first half of the night.
Marshall had read the basic information about Philabi before going to bed yesterday. The end of the first half of the night refers to two-thirds of the day here. As long as this time point is not exceeded, the two of them can quickly arrive at Philabi.
Move around.
"By the way, Mr. William reminds you that if you want to do divination, go to [Destiny] Street. The fortune tellers there are very reliable, but of course, the fees are also very expensive. One of Philabi's specialties is divination, which is highly recommended.
Let’s go there.”
Destiny is one of the planets in the main galaxy. It is said that the star power in it can trigger destiny and make the results of divination extremely accurate.
"Really?" Marshall raised his eyebrows and picked up a piece of thin parchment in his hand, "Let me look at the map..."
It's not far from them, even very close, only ten minutes away.
Marshall is actually not very interested in divination, but William said that divination is a major feature here, so he should go and see it.
The sun is still hanging in the sky now. Logically speaking, it should be summer in Philaby, but the temperature here is not high. Compared with other streets, Divination Street, [Destiny] seems even more neglected.
It is very possible that ordinary residents do not often come to [Star City] for divination, or it may be that now is not a suitable time for divination.
Well, the latter is correct. All fortune-telling shops are not open, and the fortune-teller who huddled in the shop for a nap all replied: they will be open from midnight.
It seemed that the divination they used was closely related to the stars in the sky. However, there was no weather, so the two of them had to drink a glass of local iced lemonade each and wander step by step on this short street decorated with stars of various colors.
Most of the decorations are repetitive and monotonous, either with hexagram patterns or regular pentagonal patterns, which are meaningless. The charm of [Star City] should be unfolded when the stars appear, not when the magic sun is raging.
.....
Fortunately among the misfortunes, there are a lot of shady places here. It's good to walk slowly here and take a rest.
The two of them sat down on a bench at the end of the street. There was a dark alley behind the bench. There were also people in the alley, the kind of ragged wanderers who could be found anywhere.
It's not that Marshall doesn't pity them, but this kind of pity is of no use. This is what she learned in [Land of Desire].
She took a sip of lemonade and carefully pressed her throbbing temples. It felt so cold...
"Miss, do you want to do a divination? Novice, novice! No money required, just practice!"
This sound even scared away the homeless man who was half-lidded in sleep. This shows how abrupt and scary it is.
"Hmm!" Marshall stood up from his seat with a cry, only to find that Tong had already taken out his big sword and blocked it in front of him.
The owner of the voice soon appeared and walked out of the darkness of the alley step by step.
He is neither a homeless man nor a beggar. It can be seen from his clothes that at least he is not as desolate as the first two. But he is not that beautiful either. The dusty black robe vaguely shows his embarrassment.
In his hand he held a large box full of locks, which gave Marshall the illusion that the locks made of various materials were even more expensive than the box itself.
This man looks to be over fifty. Isn’t it too strange to be engaged in the divination industry now?
He smiled and leaned on the bench where Marshall and the two were sitting before, and slapped his box on it.
"This young lady who has experienced a profound separation not long ago, would you like to do some divination? Although I am only a dabbler, I can still come up with something."
"You..." Marshall took half a step back, but for some reason took another step forward. The look on his face became weird, "How did you know?"
"Ah! I suddenly changed my mind. I have to charge, charge! The price is a coin in your wallet!"
This strange man tapped the suitcase under him with his index finger, and a series of rattling sounds were heard.
There was no need for a key, and there seemed to be no magical effect. These locks, made of different materials and with completely different styles, disintegrated into tiny pieces one after another, and were eventually sucked into the cracks at the top and bottom of the trembling suitcase.
"You can call me Kate, Kate Brighton." Kate raised her top hat. The top of her head was bald, but her beard was very lush.
Generally speaking, people don't do divination during the day, right? Why did the man in front of her carelessly give her a divination for free...and he immediately told her the sad things she had experienced recently...
..
"Tong, you can put your sword away."
Marshall ordered Tong to put away his sword, and at the same time he took another step forward and sat back on the bench.
"You can pay later, because choosing coins is still very time-consuming."
