Chapter 2571: Reversed · Great Tree

"I don't deny that I did touch it, but there was a reason! I'm already used to Little Mia standing on my shoulder!"

Xia De defended himself somewhat embarrassedly, which made the girls laugh.

However, at least Luvia didn't let the "head of the household" be embarrassed for too long:

"Galina, you've talked to Bella, right? How did you tell her to reply to that great witch of death?"

"Of course I have. Maybe they have already met by now."

Thus, the family dinner at 6 St. Deran Square continued in a happy and harmonious atmosphere. At the same time, in that empty and cold Witches' Council—

"Bella, can you divine?"

There were four people in the council at this time. Besides the two great witches who had already taken their seats, their respective apprentices, Miss Matilda and Miss Charlotte Bell, were also there.

The blonde countess complained in her heart that Xia De hadn't visited her these days, while she said to her colleague:

"Flora, why did you suddenly want me to divine a man? Although our curse won't work on a single hair, I still don't want to touch this."

Flora Winslet said apologetically:

"It's really troublesome for you today. No need to divine carefully; I just want to know about his life before he was twenty."

She was also worried that if Bella Belindell divined too carefully, she would discover Xia De's secret.

Thus, the Countess of Moon Bay resisted the urge to make a strange expression. It wasn't that she hadn't tried to divine Xia De's past before, but just as Luvia had once said, nothing could be divined.

"Alright then, but I only do this kind of thing once."

Saying this, she signaled her maid to prepare for the divination. Miss Matilda took the deck of divination cards from the pocket of her white apron, rinsed them a few times, and handed them to her master.

The great witch of fate, who had a beautiful birthmark between her eyebrows, didn't delay either and soon scattered the entire deck of divination cards on the table.

While performing the actions in her hands, she chatted with Miss Winslet. Actually, she wanted to tease her. After all, she had been "teased" by Galina and Vanessa when she was in Moon Bay, and this time it was finally her turn:

"Tell me, Flora, what is your relationship with this man? Don't say enemies. I heard from Emma that Speaker-elect went to visit you earlier, saying everything was fine on your side."

"Just an ordinary acquaintance, don't be so curious."

The great witch of death waved her hand dismissively.

"If I didn't know this was a man, I might think you found a lover for yourself too."

The countess continued to tease, while Matilda beside her lowered her head to hide the smile that wanted to appear at the corner of her mouth. As for the witch apprentice Miss Bell on the other side, she looked at her teacher worriedly.

Miss Winslet tilted her head slightly:

"Then let's divine his gender first, to see if he is a man or a woman."

"This, the lady has also divined."

The maid thought in her heart, silently retreated behind the countess, and then remembered the "teaching" of that northern maid:

"And I have personally confirmed it."

Her two hands were twisted together in the dark, and she also missed Xia De a little.

"Gender is something that still needs me to divine? Don't you know whether our curse has been triggered?"

The countess asked angrily, refusing the proposal and continuing the divination:

"If it's divining the life journey, water divination or a crystal ball is actually more convenient. After all, the information provided by cards is limited. But I know too little about the man you want to divine, so water divination and crystal balls probably won't reach any conclusions."

"Next, I will flip five cards and use five cards to describe the other party's early experience. If you can't interpret it, don't blame me. I am a diviner, not a wish-granting master."

"I know, let's start."

Miss Belindell put away Xia De's hair, recited a few spells in a pretentious manner, and then directly flipped the cards.

In previous similar divinations, even with Luvia's assistance, only two definite cards, "Reversed Tower" and "Upright Moon," were obtained in the end.

But they didn't explain anything. Luvia even looked for Xia De for this, and Xia De said in surprise, "Your divination is really amazing. Reversed Tower and Upright Moon are correct, but I already knew about this."

Therefore, the countess felt that she would at most draw these two cards again this time, so the divination steps were extremely brief, and it could even be said to be unprofessional. After all, she just wanted to fool around casually.

So, as expected, the first two cards flipped were cards with unclear meanings like "Freedom" and "Treasure." Her intuition told her that these two cards had nothing to do with Xia De's past.

"Third card: Reversed Tower."

She nodded and made a profound expression. She was a professional diviner and was very skilled at this:

"Fourth card: Upright Moon."

She arranged the two cards together and felt surprised herself. After all, accurately obtaining these two cards last time was after the Battle of Moon Bay, and it took her and Luvia a whole day of careful preparation to draw them.

Her hand reached for the last card, and she said:

"It seems there is a result. Yes, I can feel it. The council's venue has strengthened fate's guidance for me."

Saying this, she put her hand on the fifth card, and then frowned in an instant because she really had an unusual feeling. Although she hadn't flipped the card yet, she knew that this result was correct:

"But why... because I promoted to the twelfth level?"

After an imperceptible pause, she flipped the last card:

"This is... Reversed · Great Tree. A reversed tree usually represents curses, diseases... We are divining someone's past, so he..."

The three cards were arranged together. Although Bella Belindell was extremely puzzled in her heart, she still shook her head at her colleague:

"This divination method requires five valid divination cards to continue the next round of story divination. Now there are only three, which does not meet the conditions for the next round."

"Is that so... Alright then. It seems he really has anti-divination relics on him. She is really good to her student... Thank you, Bella, for disturbing you tonight."

The black-gray-haired witch thanked her again. Although disappointed, she wasn't too surprised.

The countess smiled and said it was nothing, but she didn't expect Miss Winslet to put her hands together on the table under the skylight and suddenly ask her:

"Speaking of which, it seems everyone has been promoting in the past year. Galina, the Megan sisters, Vanessa, and you have all become twelfth-level, and Emma has also become eleventh-level. Did everyone find some trick?"

She complained a little:

"I feel that if this continues, even Emma will promote to the twelfth level before me. Oh, Bella, what did you feel when you promoted?"

"Nothing much..."

She couldn't say that she guessed some incredible things through Xia De's reminder:

"I feel that you will also promote to the twelfth level very soon. Believe me, fate says so."

After all, Xia De is with this great witch of death now.

Miss Winslet didn't hear what she meant. After thanking her again, she stood up and was about to leave.

But the countess, who wanted to find some fun because there was nothing to do tonight, said:

"It's really boring recently. The reconstruction of Moon Bay City is gradually getting on the right track, and I also want to go to Tobesk like Vanessa. I haven't been to Tobesk yet, and I don't know how it compares to Moon Bay."

She glanced at Miss Winslet, who was indeed listening to her after standing up:

"Speaking of Tobesk, wasn't there a rumor a while ago that Galina found a handsome lover over there? It seems to be someone named Hamilton. I don't know if it was played by her maid with a good figure."

"But fortunately, with this Hamilton covering, otherwise the church should have suspected whether she was a witch at the beginning of this year."

"Flora, why don't we let Vanessa observe what's going on with 'Hamilton' quietly in Tobesk next time we see her in the council?"

She was very satisfied to see the unnaturalness on Miss Winslet's face:

"Let Vanessa investigate quietly, for example, follow Galina, and then suddenly jump out from behind the curtains or inside the cabinet when they are dating. Galina always says that she and that Miss Servit are purely in an apprentice relationship, but I don't think they are that simple... Vanessa might find a surprise."

Miss Matilda continued to try to control her expression, not thinking about the erotic story of "the Duchess and the cheating knight and maid." Fortunately, no one paid attention to her at all now.

Because Miss Winslet was thinking that if Vanessa really did this, what she saw hugging together would probably not be the Duchess and the maid, but the beautiful witch and the handsome knight.

And just thinking of this scene in her mind, a feeling of anger that something beautiful was defiled surged in her heart... The one defiled was of course Xia De, who possessed a near "natural body." As for Galina, witches were not rare; she knew twelve of them, and she could even see one every day when looking in the mirror.

"Better not suggest this to Vanessa. After all, this is Galina's privacy."

The great witch of death said so, hiding her little thoughts, and planned to remind Galina to be wary of Vanessa next time. And the countess, who was holding back her laughter, probably also knew the feeling of Galina and Vanessa last time:

"This is indeed very interesting."

"What did you say?"

"I mean fate has given me a revelation again. Vanessa will have a very happy night tonight."

"Why would fate tell you such things?"

But neither of them expected that Miss Belindell just said it casually and it actually came true.

Vanessa had arrived in Tobesk for three days. Now that the opera troupe was settled, they would spend the next weekend, and the performance would officially start next week. Therefore, Vanessa still had time to stay overnight at Xia De's house this week, such as this Friday night.

However, this time it was not Galina who stayed with her, but Luvia. The purple-eyed girl hadn't been intimate with Xia De for more than half a week. ===== CHAPTER 2572 =====
