Chapter 875: The Witch's Hut

After coming out of the small church, Quinn excitedly pulled Qian Chen and ran outside the school.

He reached out and stopped a small car: "Where is Kating Street?"

The driver looked at them and stayed on the Miskatonic school badge on their chests for a moment. He smiled ambiguously: "Looking for fun?"

Except for being very attentive to occultism and the extraordinary, Quinn was full of the foolishness of a middle-class family who didn't know about worries in other human affairs. As soon as he heard the driver knew Kating Street, he couldn't wait to get in the car.

The driver also seemed to know the eagerness of young people and smiled tolerantly.

Qian Chen saw through this and followed into the car.

The driver turned the steering wheel and asked: "Where are you going? Moulin Rouge or Candy House?"

Seeing Quinn's clear and dull eyes, the driver shrugged slightly: "Alright! It seems you didn't ask clearly. Moulin Rouge is the best bar on Kating Street. It is luxurious and decadent. Candy House has a younger style, and many cute ladies will work part-time there."

Quinn finally understood. He shook his head and said: "No, we are not..."

"Is there a quieter place?" Qian Chen asked.

The driver understood: "Afraid of meeting acquaintances? At Moulin Rouge, you don't even need to take off your Miskatonic school badge, which will make you very popular. If it's Candy House, it might get you a wonderful night for free! But if you want to choose a quiet place, most of them are private clubs. Gentlemen, you need a brick to knock on the door."

"If you want to socialize, where do more young people go?" Qian Chen asked.

Kating Street sounds like a place where red-light districts and cultural venues gather.

And mystery often attracts each other, so the street where the Witch's Hut is located should have other mysterious people gathering.

Otherwise, a shop doing mysterious world business wouldn't open in a place without extraordinary people, right?

The driver understood immediately. The young man is not prepared to spend a lot of money!

Looking at the two again, both have handsome faces and a style with a slightly exotic flavor. Considering the weight of Miskatonic University, this will make them very popular.

"Crown and Mayflower Sea are bars that young people like to go to!"

"If you want something cheaper, pay attention to the small doors of the apartments on both sides. Where there is a Model sign, go up. The going rate is five pounds. Of course, if your concepts are more progressive, 'Orange Sea' bar has many men with similar interests..."

Quinn and Qian Chen looked at each other and shivered together.

Qian Chen waved his hand: "We are international students, not locals from Camelot!"

Quinn also nodded desperately: "Marvin is from the conservative East, and I am from a Puritan family of the New Continent, a devout believer in the Savior."

The car stopped at an intersection of a bustling street. The driver asked: "Young men, do you really not need me to send you in?"

Qian Chen opened the door and lowered his head to get out of the car. Quinn shook his head in a panic: "We'll walk in all the way!"

The driver whistled, shook his head, and said: "Being too young is always easy to indulge in women's lies and forget that men are the ones who understand men best."

After saying that, he turned the car around and drove toward the direction of 'Orange Sea' bar.

This street retains a large number of Victorian-style buildings from the Middle Ages, carved windows, iron railings, as if stepping from the new century into the era a century ago.

It was already afternoon, and many gentlemen in suits and leather shoes were coming and going. Not far ahead, a huge neon light of red dancing shoes began to light up!

The two words Moulin Rouge were flashing on the neon light, and an atmosphere of paper-drunk and gold-obsessed came rushing toward them.

Quinn looked around, and when a dancing girl in black silk suspenders threw a wink at him, he almost lost his soul.

Where has the child of a simple Puritan family in the New Continent seen these?

Qian Chen snapped his fingers in his ear and said: "It seems the nemesis of the Pure Flower is the power of roses!"

As soon as the topic of occultism was mentioned, Quinn's eyes quickly retracted, and he threw the women outside Moulin Rouge behind him. What is more interesting than the extraordinary?

"What rose?" Quinn asked.

"Flower of charm, magic medicine of love." Qian Chen explained: "That Miss Mitra used some on you this year. Did you smell the scent of rose essential oil on her? Specifically cheating you pure teenagers..."

Quinn was slightly surprised: "But I..."

Qian Chen didn't care about his disappointment at all and walked in front: "The Pure Flower can resist the invasion of most arts of the invisible, because all arts of the invisible that hurt others basically have to borrow the power of evil spirits and demons in the Spirit Realm."

"But the charm of roses is an exception, and it should be related to the same origin of the two magic medicines and arts of the invisible."

"The original magic medicine of roses might really have the power of 'love' and 'charm', but now, the symbol of roses is no longer secret, so the effect can only control people with weak minds like you!"

Qian Chen said and turned into a quiet alley. His gaze swept over an old bookstore.

Moran Bookstore—from the year of the Great Fire in the Fog in the Fourth Era to the present!

Third Era?

Qian Chen's original body was a history student after all, knowing that this is a relatively obscure calculation method.

Taking the birth of the Savior as the beginning of the Third Era, until the outbreak of the Black Death, it was a total of 1,347 years, and the outbreak of the Black Death was the beginning of the Fourth Era, until the end of the terrible war that swept across the three continents, it was a total of 600 years.

Now it is the 40th year of the Fifth Era...

The year of the Great Fire in the Fog was the 319th year of the Fourth Era, nearly 329 years ago!

"Not bad... it can be considered an old shop with some history!"

If it were in the false memory previous life given by the Supreme, Qian Chen would say that it is a century-old shop, which can be called a scenic spot, but compared with the history of thousands or tens of thousands of years in the Earth Immortal Realm, it can only be said that the foundation of the world Qian Chen opened is shallow. Even with the acceleration of the Kunlun Mirror, the history of the entire extraordinary world is only ten thousand years.

Passing by several antique shops, tailor shops, and grocery stores, Qian Chen stopped at a narrow corner where the storefront was only two people wide at the street corner.

On the second floor of that narrow small shop, a small wooden sign was carved into the shape of a pointed hat, tied with withered sage, iris, and roses, and a line of floral text was written—Witch's Hut Divination Shop!

Qian Chen pushed open the half-hidden wooden door, and the silver bell in the corner of the door was suddenly hit. The space inside was also very cramped. A crystal ball covered with black velvet was placed on a soft cushion under the showcase, feather pens were bundled together, and there were even star charts and lunar globes. Even on the counter that occupied half of the shop, scattered tarot cards were scattered.

Qian Chen picked up a card on the table and flipped it over, but it was a black-armored skeleton knight riding a white horse, holding a black rose flag representing death.

"Death..."

"Coming, coming!" Upstairs, a vague female voice suddenly sounded, and then there was the creaking sound of old floorboards.

Bang!

It seemed that someone fell upstairs, making a suppressed wail.

Then the footsteps sounded again, and a young woman with messy hair and freckles on her cheeks ran down from upstairs, carrying the hem of her black robe.

She saw the tarot card in Qian Chen's hand and exclaimed: "Death! Its appearance represents death... you must have just experienced death!"

"We are not here for divination... and this is an upright Death card, it just represents ending some things and welcoming a new beginning." Qian Chen put Death into the deck, and Quinn was already eager to try, wanting to draw a card!

"Coming, coming!" Upstairs, a vague female voice suddenly sounded, and then there was the creaking sound of old floorboards.

"Gable introduced us to come here, saying that there are some 'really interesting things'!"

The woman's eyes lit up, she scratched her messy hair, came to the counter, swept the scattered tarot cards to the table, and said to the two: "Gable introduced you to come, want to buy some really good things?"

"Magic medicine of love? Let your sweetheart take it, and when she opens her eyes again, she will have great favor for the first person she sees!"

Qian Chen said coldly: "This is a love-charmed magic medicine, right! I am an upright person!"

"Magic medicine of changing luck? Wear this four-leaf clover, and you will have a period of good luck..." The woman promoted again and took out a four-leaf clover from her robe.

Qian Chen scanned her faintly: "How much for the sage, white iris, and Umayyad roses on the sign?"

The woman's eyes widened, her chest lifted high, a flash of panic in her eyes, and then she asked humbly: "Those are old flowers from a long time ago!"

"Hmm... over fifty years, the spirituality is very weak!" Qian Chen nodded slightly.

"But the flower of redemption, the flower of purification, and the flower of true love are very rare magic medicines, especially the Umayyad rose. The damn modern love marketing has almost destroyed this ancient magic medicine. Can roses that have seen too much hypocritical love still represent true love?"

"Redemption, purification, and true love."

"That sign is almost a door, refusing dark creatures to enter..." Qian Chen looked back at the door.

The woman's figure became very soft, almost begging: "Sir, don't take those things away, you are a person with real vision."

She hurriedly put away those fake 'magic medicines'. Quinn, who was still foolishly looking at the love-charmed magic medicine that looked like purple crystal and was packed in a small glass bottle, was caught off guard and kept looking at Qian Chen and the girl, not understanding why the attitude between them had changed so much.

Quinn whispered in Qian Chen's ear: "Is this fake?"

Qian Chen nodded and said faintly: "Fake."

The woman said timidly: "My name is Elijah, and I am a divination witch."

"Elijah, Ilya? Good name!" Quinn smiled and changed this ancient Canaanite word to feminine.

"Elijah? Power of the Father of Lamps... enemy of Bayeli?" Qian Chen stared at Elijah and said slowly.

Quinn saw that Qian Chen's momentum was really compelling, forcing Elijah to retreat slowly, almost shrinking into the corner behind the cabinet, and could only smooth things over: "Gable introduced us to come here, saying that we can sell the Pure Flower!"

Elijah looked at the two, mainly looking at Qian Chen with fear, blinked her eyes and said: "You... are you here to sell things?"

This sentence seemed to give her some courage. She stared at Qian Chen, as if she had taken out all the courage in her life, and said timidly: "Forced buying and selling... is illegal!"

Quinn hugged Qian Chen's shoulder and laughed until he couldn't straighten his waist: "Marvin, you scared her!"

"I am Quinn, he is Marvin, we are both international students at Miskatonic University, and also new members of the Spiritual Cultivation Society. Gable introduced us to come here to see 'mystery'."

He looked around at the cramped environment and hesitated: "You seem to be in a bad situation!"
