Chapter 1402: Three Divination Cards
Xia De didn't know why the atmosphere of afternoon tea suddenly became strange. He looked at Luweiya, but found that the purple-eyed girl was watching Xia De interact with the witches with great interest.

So Xia De hesitated for a moment and looked at the ladies at the table:
"I actually have a request, maybe this is very abrupt, but please agree."
"You say it, as long as it's not too excessive... even if it's excessive, I believe we will agree."
Miss Sylvia said with a smile, so the eyes at the table looked at Xia De.
Xia De coughed:
"Oh, please be serious. I mean, if the mad Guardian appears before I return from Osenfurt Manor, then you must delay him as much as possible... all arrangements and plans must listen to Luweiya, she knows what to do."
The purple-eyed girl was surprised to hear Xia De's words, and the other four witches nodded together:
"No problem, but we still hope you can return as soon as possible."
"When I return doesn't depend on me. But you don't have to worry about me, I have many means."
He still had one last chance for the Time Key, and was also prepared to summon 【Desire】, and even had a drop of divinity. Of course, without getting the divinity of the Earth Heart, the remaining divinity should be avoided as much as possible.
"Take our jewelry."
Miss Bernice said, taking off her gold ring (right one), Miss Aurora and Miss Sylvia's were also rings, which were left one and left two respectively, while Miss Jia Lin Na's was a necklace. But Xia De refused them all:
"This is not necessary, you also need this. Besides, facing demons, I still try to show weakness as much as possible."
Because he didn't need to fight the demon at all, what he needed was to summon the doctor at the right time.
The witches still had to handle some things in the basement, Xia De went to the office on the third floor with Luweiya, waiting for Miss Swift and Xilisi to return.
After sitting down on the sofa, Luweiya took out the last 【Thor's Fury】 coin:
"You should also only have the last 【Emperor's Banquet Copper Coin】 left. How about it, since the big battle is imminent, don't keep them."
"Keep the one in my hand, maybe it will be useful after I return from Osenfurt Manor."
Xia De said, Luweiya nodded:
"That's fine. Then the one in my hand, do you have anything you need to divine now? How about the real location of the Chosen ceremony? It wasn't fully divined last time, but this time there are enough clues. Clarifying the real location, many things tonight can be arranged."
"No, knowing the location now doesn't make much sense."
Xia De shook his head:
"I hope you divine other things, clarifying other things is actually more important—first, whether we need to deal with the Guardian tonight, and how strong their power will be after they go mad; second, the precise time when the first Landaier flower blooms, what exactly it is."
"Do you want the time point instead of the location? This is indeed important, but I probably can't get the answers to both questions at the same time. Choose one that is more important."
Luweiya tossed the coin, Mia, who had woken up, looked at it, looking very interested.
"Guardian."
"No problem."
She closed her eyes, and under the gaze of Xia De and Mia, tossed the silver coin high. The divination went smoothly, because the coin appeared mottled with rust after reaching the highest point, and then rusted rapidly during the falling process until it completely turned into fly ash.
"Yes, we need to contend with the Guardian. The power he can show is even stronger than in a normal state. In other words, it far exceeds an ordinary thirteen-ring. Even because he possesses the authority to manipulate the earth and has the fate of the Chosen, dealing with him is not simpler than dealing with any enemy in the past."
Luweiya opened her eyes, Xia De liked the purple in her eyes very much:
"He now possesses two distinct characteristics: first, as long as he stands on the earth with both feet, his power is inexhaustible; second, the entire Landaier River Valley's earth will help him. You can think of this as his luck being greatly improved, and as long as he is in the mad earth, he can almost be considered to be in his own labyrinth."
Xia De frowned, and Luweiya continued:
"Because this answer is too simple, I also divined other things. The area where the Guardian appears cannot be determined, but it will not be in the city. The time of appearance, that is, the time of complete madness, is about an hour and a half after the first Landaier flower blooms tonight. And the time when the first Landaier flower blooms can only be roughly estimated to be after one o'clock on Saturday morning."
"So, I must try my best to resolve the matter at Osenfurt Manor and rush back here before one o'clock in the morning. After all, the blooming of the flower means the comprehensive turmoil of the earth."
He turned his head slightly and looked out the window where the fog was hazy. That weird gray snow was still falling, which was very likely to continue until tonight, and then become the first spring snow in the Landaier River Valley in 1854 of the Sixth Era.
"Long-haired Luweiya, was she also seeing this scenery when she made that difficult decision?"
Xia De asked softly in his heart, but no one could answer his question. Luweiya didn't know what Xia De was thinking at this moment, let alone that Xia De was missing another her. Luweiya just had a very bad premonition.
And this premonition was something that Xia De didn't have when he participated in major events several times before.
"Just like in the past, draw a card."
So Luweiya took out her deck of divination cards, and after arranging and switching positions, handed it to Xia De:
"Draw three cards."
This time Xia De didn't draw the top three cards, but chose the third from the top, the fifth from the top, and the first from the bottom.
Luweiya arranged the three cards and placed them in parallel in front of her:
"About the enemy you are about to face."
Flipping open the divination card, the card face was a poisonous snake. This was no problem, it could only represent that Xia De's enemy was insidious and cunning.
"About the danger you are about to face."
Flipping open the divination card, the card face was two crossed long swords. This divination card was generally called "Duel," and Luweiya believed this represented that Xia De possessed the power to contend with danger.
"About your ending."
Luweiya flipped open the last card, and then saw the pattern on the divination card, which was a man holding a dagger, under a spotlight similar to a stage, stabbing the dagger into his own heart position, while around him were fallen war horses and knights.
Seeing this pattern, Luweiya, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, turned pale:
"Sacrifice?! How could it be, the results of the first two cards were clearly not bad, Xia De, you..."
"You also said not to rely on and believe in divination too much, otherwise you will definitely be led onto the wrong path of fate."
Xia De said, putting the last card back into the deck, and then spread the cards on the coffee table, and pinched Mia's waist, holding the cat up:
"Come, choose one."
Although the cat didn't necessarily understand Xia De's meaning, it was very willing to stretch out its claws to pat things it didn't know. So the cat's claw patted a card, and Xia De flipped it:
"Feast. This represents a huge risk-free harvest."
He showed the card to Luweiya:
"I will be with Mia all night tonight, since its result is positive, I probably won't encounter any bad things. Feast, maybe it represents that tonight's action will go smoothly, so I rewarded this cat with a big meal. And sacrifice, can also be interpreted in other ways. If you drew this card for Xilisi, you should worry."
Luweiya showed a very reluctant smile, and before she could say anything else, there was a knock on the door outside.
Xia De got up to open the door, and then saw Xilisi really standing at the door:
"Back from the Council? We were just discussing you."
Xia De said with a smile, so the golden-haired girl walked in:
"Just back, Miss Swift went to the basement to report to the Great Witches. What were you saying about me just now?"
"Divination matter, come, draw a card."
The young girl didn't know the content of their previous conversation, so she took a divination card very casually:
"Let me see... Broken Rope."
Among the 108 divination cards, the probability of this card appearing was very small. Xia De looked at Luweiya, and Luweiya explained softly:
"Represents that you will cut off some important relationship in the near future, or... lose some important person."
"As long as it's not sacrifice."
Xia De said, and then encouraged Luweiya to divine for herself. The purple-eyed girl, whose heart was a bit chaotic, also drew a card, and her result was "Audience." Xia De understood Luweiya's mood, the worry she showed when facing the Chosen's final battle several times before was much stronger than this time.
He knew this was concern for himself, although he was also a bit worried, he still promised Luweiya:
"I will return safely tomorrow morning."
It was already late, Xia De promised to accompany Xilisi to the Forgotten Church again today. Since she had returned, the two planned to set off, and Mia was left for Luweiya to take care of.
In fact, besides accompanying Xilisi to the Forgotten Church, Xia De could also choose to use the remaining time before evening to accompany Miss Aurora to activate the ritual left by the Speaker of the Witch Council, help Luweiya arrange a more detailed divination ritual at the Wilde Opera House, go to the local black market to find new news, or do nothing but chat with the girls to boost morale.
Unfortunately, he could only choose one thing to do, and promising to accompany Xilisi was something he had said from the beginning.
There were two small earthquakes in the city during the day today, plus the thick fog all over the city and the weird gray snow, so by the afternoon, there were still no people on the street.
The snow on the road made the carriage speed very slow, so Xia De and Xilisi did not take the carriage, but chose to walk to the church, without anyone else following them. ===== CHAPTER 1403 =====
