The past was built upon collecting unique characteristics.

"I see."

Morian nodded immediately; even without being reminded, he did not intend to rely entirely on divination.

As the saying goes, success depends on human effort, and the final result will definitely depend on one's own judgment.

"Let's begin now," Sienna said with a gentle smile.

She grasped the silver chain, raised the white crystal pendulum to the table, and let it hang naturally.

"Please close your eyes and silently think about the question you want to ask. When you feel ready, please open your eyes and tell me."

"Okay." After taking a deep breath, Morian closed his eyes.

To ensure the best results from the divination, he first cleared his mind of all the jumbled thoughts before slowly reciting the mantra.

The information provided by Harrison is true...

Recalling the information he had received, he repeated it to himself several times until he felt safe before opening his eyes and looking at the woman opposite him.

Sienna was intently staring at the pendulum in her hand, and the pendulum miraculously began to sway in mid-air.

At first, it only swayed slightly at one point, with a very small amplitude, like being stirred by a gentle breeze.

But soon, the amplitude of the swaying gradually increased, and it even began to swing at large amplitude and start to rotate clockwise.

To the naked eye, the oscillation frequency is not slow at all.

Swinging clockwise, I think that means "yes"... Morian raised an eyebrow.

"The answer is yes." Sienna smiled knowingly.

"The information you want to confirm is most likely true, and judging from the pendulum's swing frequency, the authenticity of this matter is quite high."

Morian nodded slightly, feeling much more at ease.

So it seems that Harrison did not lie before he died, and what Carl said was not unfounded. However, to be on the safe side, it would be best to conduct a divination on a specific question.

"Madam, I'd like to ask a few more questions."

"Okay," Sienna said without refusing, "but there will be an extra charge of one gold pound per question."

One gold pound...that's considerably cheaper than the starting price... Morian's eyes flickered slightly, and he said almost without thinking:

"Okay, let's continue."

Seeing that the customer agreed, Sienna raised the pendulum again, and the white crystal remained still above the purple velvet.

Without needing any prompting, Morian closed his eyes and silently pondered another question.

Can Karl Vlad be trusted...?

The pendulum began to swing.

This time, it still swings in a clockwise direction.

Morian opened his eyes, looked at the swaying crystal, and nodded almost imperceptibly.

A clockwise rotation indicates that the object can be trusted.

But he soon realized a problem with the details: the direction he had just asked seemed to be insufficiently specific.

I wonder if the pendulum's response means that the other party's character can be trusted, or that they can be trusted in terms of cooperation?

Well, judging from previous experience, the answer should point to the former...

After a moment, he looked at Sienna across from him and smiled:

"There's one last question."

Sienna nodded in agreement, signaling to continue.

Upon seeing this, Morian quickly closed his eyes and silently uttered the question that he most wanted to know.

Karl Vlad's true identity may be that of a vampire...

As before, after checking several times, he opened his eyes and looked at the pendulum.

The pendant swayed slightly in mid-air, yet it seemed to remain motionless, merely a fleeting illusion.

Then the white crystal just hung there quietly in mid-air, and never moved again.

Morian was stunned. He looked at Sienna across from him and found that she had the same expression as him.

Half a minute passed, and the pendulum still did not wobble.

"Madam, how... should this be interpreted?"

"It's a very rare phenomenon," Sienna said slowly, a thoughtful expression on her face.

"The pendulum did not respond, indicating that this question cannot be divined."

Unable to perform divination? Morian frowned slightly.

What caused this?

Sienna put down her pendulum, a bitter smile appearing on her face:

"As you can see, Mr. Thias, divination is not a panacea."

"Usually, this situation might mean that the thing you want to divine involves some kind of mystical existence that is beyond the pendulum's perception capabilities. Hmm... it could also mean that the thing is protected by some kind of power, blocking the divination."

After listening, Morian nodded almost imperceptibly and said nothing more.

This statement aligns with his inner suspicion that divination fails when encountering matters of a higher status.

Could it be that Carl is carrying an item similar to "Grey Heaven," which allows him to block divination?

No, assuming he is indeed a vampire, vampires themselves might possess some kind of mystical attribute that could interfere with external surveillance... This possibility cannot be ruled out...

Although no definitive answer was obtained, it indirectly proved that the other party may also have some kind of secret.

Suppressing his various speculations, Morian quickly regained his composure.

"Thank you for your fortune-telling service, ma'am," he said with a calm smile, taking a few banknotes from his pocket and placing them on the table.

"Here are all the expenses; you can take a look."

After saying that, Morian stood up and prepared to leave.

However, he had just turned around when Sienna's voice came from behind him.

"Sir, please wait a moment."

Upon hearing the sound, Morian quickly turned around, a look of confusion on his face.

...Could it be that I miscounted and gave you too little money?

"Your divination isn't over yet," Sienna said with a smile, watching him with great interest.

"Didn't you say when you first came in that you wanted to have your future predicted?"

Morian paused for a moment, then remembered the sentence he had casually uttered.

I was just saying it casually, I didn't expect this lady to remember it?

"Thank you for your kindness, but I've already asked enough today. How about next time?" He scratched his face, looking a little embarrassed.

Sienna did not respond immediately, but instead gazed at Morian with a gentle look that seemed to see through his heart and his awkward thoughts.

A moment later, she gave a meaningful smile:

"It's free this time."

"Free?" Morian asked in surprise.

The woman opposite nodded, a sly smile playing on her lips.

"Well, considering you've asked so many questions, I'll give you a free fortune telling session."

"So, how about it? Would you do me the honor of giving it a try?"

Morian's lips twitched, and he couldn't help but hesitate.

To be honest, he really didn't intend to have his future predicted today; that remark was just something he said casually. Besides, he always charges extra for each prediction...

But the other party seemed to have seen through my reluctance to spend more money and offered to do it for free, which made me feel a little embarrassed.

However, if it were free, it wouldn't be a bad idea.

Thinking of this, Morian involuntarily sat back down in his seat.

"Excuse me, is it really free?"
