Saint Laurent Prison Warden

Chapter 180 Astrologer's Divination

"Strange news from the northern suburbs! A swamp monster factory suddenly appeared! A new era of swamp development is coming!"

[In our travel city full of adventures, incredible things may happen every day, but today's news will definitely make you smile - the northern suburbs, the swamp area that once made people think of "mystery" and "heart-pounding", has welcomed an unconventional giant - Mr. Richard, the winner of the Silver Cross Medal, the Silver City's Outstanding Teacher of the Year, and a Friend of the Rose!

He will contract the abandoned land in the northern suburbs that no one cares about, and build the large-scale "Swamp Monster Factory" that is full of expectations! 】

In the recent travel city, the news that the swamp monster factory was successfully built and started operating spread throughout the streets and alleys.

When the glory of Saint Laurent Prison in the northern suburbs fell, no one was willing to believe that Richard still represented himself.

Everyone thought that Richard was Xingge's intended husband.

In their understanding, only Xingge's husband has the honor to share the land of Travel City with Xingge. Richard wants to build a goblin factory, which means Xingge wants to build a Xingge factory!
So what are you waiting for? Grab it!

"Mr. Richard, our Dr. Bran has extensive experience in developing goblin factories, and we also have our own production patents. Our production speed is five percentage points higher than that of competing products on the market.

We are willing to invest 30 yuan and send 120 professional engineers to participate in the construction of the factory."

"Mr. Richard, I am from the Forl Chamber of Commerce of Sky Dome. We have been committed to swamp research for a long time and have achieved remarkable results. We intend to invest 25 gold coins to obtain the exclusive development rights of one of the factories. We are also willing to send professionals to assist you in the development of the swamp."

……

In the past few days, all kinds of invitations have been pouring onto Richard's desk.

If Richard wanted to seize the old factory, the powerful people in the Travel City would definitely try their best to stop him, stick together, and protect their own interests at all costs.

But Richard was going to open a new factory, and it was an unprecedented swamp goblin, so their thinking naturally changed from confrontational thinking to franchise thinking.

This is the difference between grabbing the cake and making it.

Richard did some calculations these past two days and figured out that if he accepted all franchisees who showed clear intention, he would be able to raise funds to build not only a factory, but even a group of factories.

However, doing so would also make the power structure in the northern suburbs very chaotic.

Richard worked very hard to screen and kicked out all franchisees who wanted to interfere in the affairs of the northern suburbs.

He chooses franchisees not based on how much money they make or whether they have good qualifications. He only looks at one thing: whether the other party is honest.

Simply put, Richard only wants franchisees who only pay money and take dividends and don't care about anything else.

All franchisees who want to participate in factory operation management and supervise factory operations are not considered by Richard.

After this screening, Richard's number of visiting cards was immediately reduced by more than half.

After eliminating those franchisees who were obviously ill-intentioned and greedy, Richard saw that there were only three franchisees left to use.

He chuckled. What a coincidence, these three franchisees were all acquaintances.

Jinhui Mage Academy, Yinzhu Wizard Academy, City Lord's Mansion
Among them, the investment given by the City Lord's Mansion was the least, but the share of profits required by the City Lord's Mansion was the highest. However, Richard still took the City Lord's Mansion with him without hesitation.

He knew very well that this was definitely a backdoor that Xingge had opened for him out of respect. Anyone doing business in the Travel City was eagerly waiting for their business to be invested in by the City Lord's Mansion, but they couldn't get it.

Don't ask, asking can save you a lot of trouble. What the City Lord's Mansion invested was not money, but the high level of cooperation from top to bottom in the entire Travel City.

After confirming the financing plan, Richard went to the franchisees he had selected one by one.

The officials who were meeting with Richard in the City Lord's Mansion had been waiting for Richard for a long time. When they saw Richard coming, they handed the prepared materials to Richard in a few seconds, without wasting any time of Richard queuing or waiting for stamps, which highlighted their efficiency.

Dean Hank was the one who contacted Richard at Jinhui Mage Academy. As soon as Richard saw Dean Hank, he took out his own theory about the mysterious man. After listening to Dean Hank, his eyes were still complicated.

The good news for him is that Richard is still a good boy, and the mysterious man only appeared after Richard lost his magic.

Bad news, Richard has a supporter who is much more powerful than him, and the other party also takes good care of Richard. There is a high probability that his apprentice will be abducted by someone.

Looking at Hank's melancholy face as he sent him away with reluctance to leave, Richard always felt that the other party seemed to have overthought something.

After leaving the Golden Glory Mage Academy, Richard came to the Silver Candle Wizard Academy.

Under the guidance of the wizard, he cautiously came to pay a visit to the current dean of the Wizard Academy, who replaced Kapa's other legendary wizard, the legendary witch, the magic card astrologer Nellie.

In the deepest part of the Wizarding Academy, what was supposed to be the Dean's magic tower has become a wooden house. It seems to have traveled from another time and space, standing quietly in the lush forest clearing, with a light, imperceptible mist lingering around it, giving the area a mysterious veil.

Richard stood outside the mist and observed carefully.

The appearance of the wooden house is not ostentatious, even a little plain, but every detail reveals extraordinary craftsmanship and traces of time. The wooden boards on the exterior walls of the wooden house are carved with complex totems, which shimmer under the magic. The roof of the wooden house is covered with moss and vines, which twisted their bodies inadvertently without escaping Richard's eyes. Obviously, this wooden house is alive, and the moss and vines are the hair of the wooden house.

"Mr. Richard, please come in."

The wizard who led the way brought Richard to the small house and helped Richard push open the wooden door that looked ordinary but actually contained magic.

In an instant, a warm and slightly sweet scent hit me.

When Richard stepped into the cabin, he seemed to have instantly crossed the boundaries of seasons and arrived at a secret garden where it was spring all year round.

Countless flowers compete with each other in beauty, and the tranquil Swan Lake sparkles.

The sun shines down with soft light, but the sunlight is not real, but provided by countless floating magic balls emitting soft light, which slowly rotate in the air, bringing a dreamlike atmosphere to the whole space.

Richard took a deep breath and looked over carefully.

In the center of the garden, there is a huge round wooden table, on which are scattered various magic books, crystal balls, and several bottles of colorful magic potions. These items are randomly placed, but reveal a sense of order, as if each one is carefully arranged in preparation for an upcoming ceremony.

Next to the wooden table, there are two chairs covered with a tablecloth with the same pattern and color as the wooden table.

Richard naturally understood such an obvious invitation.

He walked cautiously to the chair and looked around curiously.

"Dean Nellie...are you there?"

"I'm Richard. I'm here to keep my appointment. Let's talk about the Swamp Monster Factory." Richard called out several times, but got no response. Even the red swans in Swan Lake were swimming leisurely, paying no attention to him.

Helplessly, Richard could only sit down in his seat carefully.

At that moment, an illusory female figure suddenly appeared on the chair opposite Richard!
She was wearing a robe woven from the brightest stars in the night sky and a pointed hat inlaid with gems. She had deep eyes, a kind and majestic face, and a faint smile on the corners of her mouth.

That expression seemed to have seen through everything, including Richard's deepest wishes and fears.

"Welcome, Richard. Although this is the first time we meet, I have heard a lot about you from an old friend of mine who has a very good relationship with me.

As for who my old friend is, with your intelligence, you should be able to guess it."

Dean Nellie sat opposite Richard, her voice elegant and gentle.

Richard's eyes lit up immediately, and he asked impatiently, "I'm sorry, Dean, I don't know your social connections, so I have no way of guessing who it is. I've told you the information about me, can you help me clear up my confusion?"

"You are so cautious, just like what he said." Dean Nellie covered her mouth and chuckled. Then she squinted her eyes and said to Richard: "The road from the orphanage to the manor is not long, but it has gone through countless generations of life. You are very lucky."

Richard's heart suddenly relaxed. Naili's words just now showed that she had some knowledge of her childhood, and her childhood was strictly managed by Teacher Kappa as a top secret. Even the Xingyue Society could not find any clues now.

Therefore, it is very likely that Dean Naili is one of us.

But Richard didn't know whether she was a member of the mysterious organization or one of Teacher Kappa's side.

These two, one public and one private, have completely different meanings.

"I believe you, Dean Nellie." Richard leaned closer and asked cautiously, "Dean, what is your relationship with that person?"

"Hmm? It's the kind of intimacy you can imagine in your head right now."

"Husband and wife or boyfriend and girlfriend?"

"Neither." Naili shook her head: "We don't have that kind of superficial physical relationship, nor are we in a relationship between men and women that is stipulated by the laws of the Silver City.

We are fellow travelers in truth, we are close friends of soul to soul.

We share a common hobby, we all like to read the stars. We discuss with each other and explore the secrets of becoming a god. We show off the new witchcraft we have found to each other and encourage each other to move forward.

We have shared so many experiences that you can’t imagine. These experiences have brought us together and made us soulmates.”

Nari said, smiling:
"He once told me that you are very, very important to him and asked me to take care of you when the time is right.

I have been waiting, without any hurry. Until this moment, when I saw you, I realized that now is the right time. "

Richard asked, "What do you mean by taking care of me? Help me build the swamp monster factory?"

"Divination. I am a magic card astrologer. I can calculate the flow of magic power and the trajectory of the stars. I can point out the way for your confusing future.

Compared to my divination, the so-called swamp spirit factory is nothing."

Nellie smiled and knocked on the table, and the cards immediately flew up and stopped in front of Richard.

Before Richard could choose any of the three cards, they were automatically turned over. The three cards were Star, Trophy, and Sea.

"Oh, let me see." Nali took the three cards back into her hand, then held them in her hand and looked at them carefully.

Richard soon discovered that Nellie's expression became serious.

"Hmm? What happened to Dean Naili?"

"My prophecy is out." Nari replied, "This is a prophecy that is a hundred times more difficult to understand than I thought. Usually this kind of prophecy only appears to demigods who are powerful enough to influence the world.

I don't understand why the divination for you gave this result, so I did the divination a few more times.

The subsequent divinations all showed normally that your future destiny would be smooth.

It's so strange... It's as if something interfered with my first divination and made me make a mistake."

Richard knew that it was his identity as a time traveler, but he still pretended to be puzzled and asked, "What did you get from your first divination?"

"You can choose not to listen to this kind of wrong stuff, but it's better not to listen to it."

"Whether it is right or not, I wish to judge for myself."

"Okay, then don't regret it." Dean Naili nodded deeply and said:
Great star, what would be your happiness if you did not own what you shine upon? What could you shine upon if there were no land, no sea, no hollows in the past, no silhouettes in the future?
Every night you receive your overflowing light and bless the stars for it.

Then you gain mercy, favor and luck.

But you have grown weary of the favor you have received, like a bee that has gathered too much honey.

You need them to reach out and share your favor.

You have to give gifts and distribute them, even if they don't understand your gifts.

One day you will get your golden cup. Gold will overflow from the cup like water, carrying your high wisdom to all directions.

And your companions will also get the things of destiny that belong to them, and they will take their destiny to find the ship of destiny.

The ship of destiny is set sail, and all those who are favored by the golden cup will survive, but you will be doomed. Doom is the price you pay for sharing your favor with others.

When the bells ring, you stand on the top of the mountain, praising the favor with songs, laughter, tears and whispers. The ship of fate capsizes and soars into the sky.

You walked across heaven and waved goodbye, falling into depravity and never coming back.

Dean Nellie told Richard the prophecies one by one. Finally, Dean Nellie looked at Richard deeply and asked:
"This is the first time I've come across such a high-level prophecy. Richard, are you planning to destroy the world?"
