"Please wait a moment, let me ask my maid how much money she took with her this time," Lu Qing said with a slightly apologetic smile.
"It's alright, feel free to buy whenever you want," the shop manager replied with a smile.
“Your Highness, we brought three thousand gold coins with us this time,” Eileen said after being pulled aside by Lu Qing.
"No, that's not what I wanted to ask you. I wanted to ask if you think that magical item is worth two thousand gold coins?" Lu Qing shook her head and said.
"Um... I'm sorry, I don't know," Eileen said, looking somewhat conflicted.
"It's okay, you just need to tell me what you think."
"I........"
"Haha, don't make things difficult for her. As a maid, she can't offer opinions to her master." Knight Myron came up behind Lu Qing and patted her on the shoulder.
"Then, Sir Myron, do you think two thousand gold coins are worth it?" Lu Qing turned to Sir Myron and asked.
"Hmm... The price of each magical item on the market is different. The lowest-level consumables are mostly 200 gold coins each."
"Weapons enchanted with Rock Solidification can sell for between 3000 and 5000, but this dagger is not a weapon; it is merely a carved object."
"And since this carving is from a master craftsman, I think two thousand gold coins is still a good price."

"I'll buy this. Do you also offer divination services here?" After learning about the prices from Knight Myron, Lu Qing approached the shopkeeper and asked.
"Yes, we do offer fortune telling." The shop manager nodded, then asked, "Do you want a fortune telling?"
“That’s right.” Lu Qing nodded and said, “Why don’t you do a divination and see how I am?”
"A divination for you?" The shopkeeper glanced at her, then quickly shook his head, saying, "You are Her Highness the Princess of the Kingdom, how could I dare to pry into your fate?"
"You don't need to divine the future or anything like that. Just ask me to divine anything related to me," Lu Qing said to the shopkeeper.
Since she was already there, she decided to give it a try and see if she could get any useful information from the other party's divination, after all, the price was only some gold coins.
"Hmm..." The shop manager pondered for a moment, then said, "It's not impossible."
"Please follow me." She turned around and led the three of them deeper into the shop.
Lu Qing and the other two followed and soon arrived at a completely enclosed room.
The walls were covered with strange patterns, which looked like runes or something similar, but Lu Qing didn't know what they were called.
Upon entering the room, the shop manager explained to Lu Qing, "This is our fortune-telling room, and only our most distinguished guests are allowed to enter."
"In a moment, I will have you stand in the center of the room, then turn off the lights. All you need to do is close your eyes."
"Do I just have to stand still and not do anything?" Lu Qing asked curiously.
"Yes, you don't need to do anything," the shop manager nodded affirmatively.
After she finished speaking, she walked to the center of the room with her staff in hand and gently tapped the floor with it. Instantly, all the lights in the room went out.
However, this did not affect Lu Qing at all; she could still clearly see every corner of the room.
The shopkeeper was seen chanting something softly, and soon, the magical runes covering the walls of the room lit up one by one.
As soon as the magical runes on the wall lit up, one azure node after another appeared in front of Lu Qing. These nodes intertwined with each other, forming a brilliant starry sky.
"Alright, Your Highness, please come over here." The shopkeeper, standing under the "starry sky," said to Lu Qing.
Only then did the shop manager in front of her resemble the mage in Lu Qing's mind—mysterious and powerful. After hearing what the other party said, she nodded and quickly came to the shop manager's side.
"Okay, you can just stand here and close your eyes. The divination will be over soon."
After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he took his staff and walked out to Knight Myron and Eileen's side.
"Ahem, ordinary people cannot stay indoors during divination," the shopkeeper said to Eileen with a serious expression.
"Huh?" Eileen was taken aback for a moment, but quickly realized that the other person was talking about her.
“Indeed, it’s best for ordinary people not to stand nearby when a magician is casting a spell,” Knight Myron nodded in agreement.
“But…” Eileen hesitated for a moment when she saw that Sir Myron also said the same thing. She glanced at Lu Qing, and when she saw that Lu Qing did not seem to be going to respond, she turned to Sir Myron and said, “Then I’ll leave it to you.”
Knight Myron is the kingdom's number one knight. With him around, nothing should be a problem, right?
With that thought in mind, Eileen left the divination room, leaving only the three people inside.
"Alright, now you can tell me why you sent them away, Moruni." Knight Myron asked Moruni while looking at Lu Qing.
"........."
Mo Luni was silent for a moment, then said, "I have a feeling that something big is going to happen in the kingdom soon."
"What important matter is it that even the princess can't hear?" Knight Myron asked, somewhat puzzled. He had already noticed the soundproofing array set up around the two of them.
“I have a feeling that the kingdom may fall,” Moruni said in a heavy voice.
"........"
Knight Myron's eyelids twitched, and he was almost so frightened that he drew his sword on the spot.
If someone else had said this to him, he certainly wouldn't have taken it seriously, but if these words came from the mouth of the former head of the royal mage corps from thirty years ago, it would be quite frightening.
No wonder he didn't want the princess to hear it; how could he let the princess of his kingdom hear that his kingdom was about to be destroyed?
"Do you know why?" Knight Myron asked, instinctively lowering his voice.
"It might be related to those Guiji believers; they seem to be planning something big."
The Church of Return to Silence is composed of humans who survived after being corrupted by the void energy outside the protected area of the Sacred Tree.
They gained immense power from the void energy outside the sacred tree and would subconsciously feel aversion towards it.
For this reason, the philosophy of the Nirvana sect is to destroy the sacred tree and let the whole world be embraced by the void. Only in this way can mankind truly progress.
"Ahem, I originally planned to send it over later, but since you're here, please deliver this letter to the King for me."
“If Your Highness doesn’t know, then the King should know,” Moruni said, taking a letter from her bosom.
"Yes, I'll send it over."
After taking the letter from Moruni, Knight Myron paused for a moment before asking, "Moruni, the future you divined can be changed, right?"
“If the future cannot be changed, then what’s the point of humans learning divination?” Moruni said instead of answering Knight Myron directly.
“Indeed.” Knight Myron smiled, then looked at Lu Qing and asked, “What was the result of your divination for Her Highness the Princess?”
"........."
“That’s a bit strange.” Mo Luni frowned and said, “I’ve actually done four divinations already. The first two weren’t strong enough, so I didn’t get any results.”
"The third divination revealed that Her Highness may become involved with the Honglisam religion in the future."
"The Hongli Sam Cult, it can't be the necromancy ritual tomorrow, right? Wait, a necromancy ritual?" Knight Myron frowned, a bold idea suddenly popping into his mind.
"Your Highness is going to participate in a spirit communication ceremony tomorrow. Could it be that she has awakened a spirit communication ability?"
“That’s certainly possible.” Mo Luni nodded, then continued, “My fourth divination was a bit strange. I didn’t understand it, I only knew it was related to time and elves.”
"Time, the spirit?"
Knight Myron was completely dumbfounded. He thought for a long time but couldn't figure out how the princess could be related to time or elves.
If he couldn't think of anything, he simply stopped thinking about it and asked again, "So, did you have your fifth divination?"
"Do you think divination is something you can just come and do as you please? I've already told you everything that can be divined about the princess. Don't even think about it. Even if you divine again, you won't gain anything," Moruni said, tapping her staff.
“I see. Then let’s just tell Her Highness the information from this divination.” Knight Myron stroked his chin and said.
"Yes, Her Highness can still know the information from these two divinations. Perhaps it will be of some help to her in the future."

Chapter 461: Since you've said that, won't I just consider it a misperception?
"Are these two treating me like I don't exist?" Lu Qing thought to herself, standing in the center of the divination room with her eyes closed, listening to the conversation between Knight Myron and Moruni.
They seemed to have used some kind of sound-blocking method, but this method was useless against Lu Qing.
She didn't know why, but she could definitely hear the two talking.
After some speculation, Lu Qing thought there were three possibilities.
The first possibility is that it was due to one's own skill, the effect of being a listener, that allowed one to ignore the other person's methods of masking sound and hear their conversation.
The second possibility is that she obtained an item after her last dream ended, the "Snow Princess's Love" skill effect that blocks negative emotions.
The third possibility is that one of the two deliberately let her hear it. If that's the case, that person must be Mo Luni.
"........."
She glanced at the diary in her mind, and seeing that it didn't react, she looked away with a slight sense of regret.
Since the diary wasn't responding, she decided to continue analyzing what Moruni and Knight Myron had revealed during their conversation.
First of all, Knight Myron and Moruni are acquaintances, and their relationship is not bad.
Moluni is a mage, and seemingly a very powerful one at that, so the result of the divination is probably correct.
"So the kingdom is really going to be destroyed?" Lu Qing frowned, wondering if this was the main quest of this dream world.
According to the information gleaned from the dream, the sacred tree may be ill now or in the future, and she needs to heal it.
Could the reason for the kingdom's destruction, as predicted by Moruni, be the illness of the sacred tree?
She also said that the future can be changed, so what she needs to do is to heal the sacred tree, change the future of the kingdom's destruction, and thus allow the world's vitality to continue.
After all, that was the main objective stated in the dream message, and Lu Qing felt that her analysis was quite correct.
As for the time and spirit that Moruni had divined for herself, she had no clue and could only keep it to herself for the time being.
"Your Highness, the divination is over. You may come out now." After speaking with Knight Myron, Moruni raised her hand and deactivated the soundproofing array.
Upon hearing Mo Luni's words, Lu Qing opened her eyes and looked at her, asking, "What was the result of the divination?"
"I'm sorry, Your Highness, my magical powers are weak, and I really can't divine much. I only know that you may have contact with the Hongli Sam Cult in the future."
