The past was built upon collecting unique characteristics.

The shop is bright and well-lit, with good natural light from the windows, and a faint sandalwood scent in the air, which makes people feel relaxed.

Stepping into the hall, Morian looked up slightly and saw a huge star chart on the ceiling, and transparent crystal balls placed on the low pillars in various corners of the hall.

Behind the counter, a young woman with black hair was reading a book, her face showing a relaxed and contented expression. When she saw someone arrive, she immediately put down her book and greeted them with her signature smile.

"Hello sir, would you like a divination service?" she asked with a smile.

"Do I need to make an appointment in advance for a divination?" Morian nodded slightly and asked uncertainly.

"No need," the woman with black hair draped over her shoulders said frankly. "If you need a divination, I can provide that service anytime."

After she finished speaking, she pointed to the price list at the front desk, which clearly marked the divination methods at each price level, as well as the areas of expertise of different diviners.

Morian's gaze followed the line and landed on the fortune teller's introduction.

The first one is named Zane Drake, who specializes in divination of lost items, recent fortunes, and future trends. He is currently an apprentice in the field of divination, and his standard fee is one shilling.

Sybil Parker, recently promoted from apprentice to fortune teller, is quite experienced in fortune telling of everyday matters, love, and career. Her standard fee is three shillings.

……

"Is it because they're not very experienced that their fees are relatively cheap?" Morian wondered to himself, thinking that these services must be similar to those offered by barbershops.

If your only goal is to get a low price, being assigned an intern to cut your hair is undoubtedly a gamble—betting on whether the intern can do a good job and whether you can leave the barbershop with a smile...

The same applies to divination. If you ask a junior apprentice to perform divination, the result may not be accurate.

Of course, being less experienced doesn't mean someone is inaccurate; it's just that in such an important situation, it's best to choose a more prudent approach.

With that in mind, Morian skipped over the first few and looked at the more senior fortune tellers for introduction.

Sienna Vickers, the most senior fortune teller in the shop, specializes in predicting major decisions and complex events. She is proficient in various divination methods and charges a standard fee of five pounds.

It seems pretty good... Should I go for her? Morian's gaze lingered on the brochure, then he noticed the price at the end and hesitated again.

Five pounds... Do all the good fortune tellers make money like this?

Morian sighed silently, suddenly feeling a pang of heartache for his wallet.

Although he became much richer after resolving the royal incident, his past life of poverty still made him feel a pang of heartache.

"Yes, I choose Ms. Sienna."

Seemingly surprised that he chose the most expensive option right away, the lady who was receiving him showed a hint of surprise on her face, but quickly suppressed it.

"...Please wait a moment, sir. I need to ask Ms. Sienna if she is available."

After saying that, she immediately turned around and walked into a corridor at the back, returning about two minutes later.

"Ms. Sienna is currently available." She smiled politely and gestured for you to proceed. "Please walk straight down the corridor and take the stairs to the eighth room on the left on the second floor."

"The other party will be waiting for you there."

"Okay." Morian nodded in acknowledgment.

He lifted the purple curtain at the entrance of the corridor, walked to the middle corner of the stairs, and went up the stairs to the second floor.

The eighth room on the left... Morian looked around.

He then went to a carved wooden door and gently knocked.

knock knock.

"Please come in." A gentle yet intellectual female voice called out.

Morian entered upon hearing the sound. The room was not large, with walls covered in dark velvet and curtains completely blocking out the light from the windows. Only a crystal chandelier emitted a dim light.

It is said that the space must be kept closed during divination to prevent spiritual energy from leaking out and to ensure the accuracy of the divination results.

In the center of the room was a small square table, and across from it sat a friendly lady.

She looked to be in her early thirties, with dark brown hair falling over her shoulders. She had striking features and wore a typical dark robe. Her languid expression revealed a hint of weariness.

"Please have a seat, sir. How should I address you?" she said softly, gesturing to the seat opposite her.

"Morian Thias," Morian replied directly, sitting down opposite him.

"Yes, Mr. Tias," Sienna replied with a smile. "Thank you for choosing me. I will do my best to provide you with the best service."

As she spoke, she took out a small piece of purple velvet from under the table and spread it on the small tabletop, preparing for the divination that was about to take place.

"What kind of question do you want answered? Let me guess, is it a prediction of future trends?" she asked half-jokingly.

Morian didn't deny it, and smiled frankly:

"You're only half right. In fact, what I wanted to divine was the accuracy of certain information, including what you mentioned about future trends."

"I wonder if things at this level can be verified through divination?" he asked, because he wasn't sure what the scope of divination covered.

"Of course, no problem, that's a very common divination request," Sienna continued. "Which type of divination would you like to use?"

Which one? Morian remained silent for a few seconds.

The only time I ever did a divination was a while ago when I learned about Quilt's movements through a crystal divination. I don't really know much about this kind of thing.

"I'd like to know what kinds of divination are available?"

Sienna pondered for a moment, then began her introduction:

"The most common divination methods are tarot reading, astrological chart reading, and pendulum reading."

"If it's just a simple question about the accuracy of the divination information, then I would recommend pendulum divination. This method is the simplest and most efficient, and the results are clearer and more straightforward."

Morian nodded without hesitation: "No problem, let's do a pendulum divination then."

"Okay." She narrowed her eyes, reached out and picked up the crystal pendulum from the table. The white crystal refracted a faint light under the illumination.

"What do I need to do?"

"Simply think about what you want to confirm in your mind, and the pendulum will naturally give you the answer through its swing," Sienna explained with a smile.

"If the pendulum spins clockwise, it represents an affirmative answer; if it spins counterclockwise, it represents a negative answer; if it remains stationary, it means that the result cannot be determined. At the same time, the frequency of the pendulum's swing also reflects the strength of the divination."

She paused, then added a reminder:

"But I must clarify in advance that the result of the divination only represents the current possibility, not the predetermined future. I hope you understand this."
