Mystery: Big Alarm Clock Ghroth Path

Chapter 8 The First Step to Joining the Aurora Club (Please Read)
Although Heiners was a little surprised by Roger's confidence, he felt it was reasonable.

After all, when he came to the Fortune Teller Club today, he heard that a powerful astrologer had just registered as a rotating fortune teller and even offered a fortune telling price that was more than double his own.

Since he knew all the other fortune tellers in the club, when he saw the unfamiliar Roger wearing the fortune teller's cufflinks, he naturally knew that this was the newcomer and subconsciously wanted to test his level.

After all, Heinas is quite confident in his divination ability. He does not mind others charging more than him, but that person must also show qualifications commensurate with it.

"Your Excellency is aware of the recent Saturn opposition. Considering the current state of society, what insights can this astrological phenomenon offer us?"

Saturn opposition refers to the astronomical phenomenon in which Saturn, the Earth and the Sun form a straight line in space, with the Earth located between the other two.

Recently, a series of newspaper media including the Tingen Morning Post and the Tussock Post have reported in small spaces on this phenomenon, which is quite well-known among astrology enthusiasts, so Roger naturally knew about it.

"Saturn represents austerity, loss and moderation, while the Sun is closely related to each person's self-esteem."

Roger spoke calmly and eloquently:

"An opposition phase is a tense, confrontational phase, which means that the economy and people's lives are about to enter a more difficult period, which will last for at least several months."

After hearing his interpretation, many audience members showed panic.

Because the relationship between the Kingdom of Loen and the Feysac Empire has been quite tense recently, many voices have pointed out that there is a risk of a large-scale war breaking out between the two.

Seeing this, Roger added:

"But I don't think it's a bad thing. During difficult times, people have more opportunities to sort themselves out and listen to their inner voices—especially those parts of themselves that are usually suppressed and avoided, which are called 'shadows' in some psychological journals.

"This way, we all have more opportunities to understand ourselves and become more 'real' people."

Roger clearly felt the special attention that Heinus Vincent paid to him, which was why he set his own divination fee to be exactly twice that of the other party at the beginning.

But at this moment, through his interpretation of astrology, he secretly conveyed remarks that were quite consistent with the belief in the "true creator."

When Heinz Vincent heard this, his originally contemptuous look suddenly turned into praise.

He clapped his hands involuntarily and said:
"This gentleman is absolutely right. It's true that life isn't always as we wish, but as long as we listen to God's teachings and constantly reflect on ourselves, we will always find a way out."

Then he added, "You are indeed a learned man. What is your name?"

Roger was secretly delighted, as he knew that his previous actions had been recognized by Heinz Vincent.

"Metersbonwe, nice to meet you, Mr. Vincent."

The two shook hands in a friendly manner, which brought the originally somewhat depressing atmosphere back on track.

Many people looked at the new "Mr. Bangwei" from time to time, and for a moment they even ignored the strange cat on his legs.

After all, it is rare to find a fortune teller who can be praised by Mr. Vincent.

After the sharing class, Heinz Vincent took the initiative to walk towards Roger, and Roger stood up to respond.

"Mr. Bangwei, at this point in time, many fortune tellers either have limited knowledge and are deceitful. Or, after foreseeing their clients' unfortunate future, they deliberately offer comforting words and blur their vision.

"But I think this is inappropriate. As you said, there are always light and dark sides to things, and sometimes listening to the darkness is also a necessary attempt."

Then he took out a business card and handed it to Roger:
"This is my business card. I heard you recently arrived in Tingen from Backlund. If you need any help with anything here, feel free to contact me."

"Thank you very much," Roger nodded. "You're welcome. By the way, your cat is adorable."

Heinz put on his hat, smiled at the Bandit on Roger's shoulder, touched the brim of his hat lightly with the top of his cane, and said goodbye politely to the man and the cat.

“The initial contact was a success.”

Facing Hainas's attack, Roger skillfully used rhetoric to guide the astrological issue to a hidden issue of faith, which made the other party put aside his hostility and turn to him.

He flipped the exquisite business card in his hand, knowing that this was a signal that Hainas was willing to have further contact with him to see if he could develop him into a member of the Aurora Society.

"Once I join the Aurora Society, I'll have access to occult gatherings, and then I'll be able to buy, sell, and trade potion ingredients."

Although Roger had taken as many auxiliary materials as possible for the "Judgment Star" Path Sequence 8 "Noisy One" before leaving the family residence, he was still missing two less common materials.

Considering that he did not have an official Beyonder background, he could only purchase it through occult gatherings.

After all, as an unofficial Beyonder, subsequent promotions depend either on oneself or on connections.

"By the way, the 'Conspicuous Bag' potion is only a few steps away from being fully digested."

Just now, Roger summarized another rule for playing the "conspicuous bag":

Being conspicuous is not necessarily a negative term. On the contrary, a truly conspicuous person knows how to attract the favor and admiration of others at the right time.

Just as he was lost in thought, he suddenly heard a familiar voice behind him.

"Hello again, Mr. Bonway."

Roger was slightly stunned, turned his head, and saw Klein Moretti who had come in at some point.

The other person's cuff also had a cufflink with the word "diviner" written on it using the Hermetic root.

"By the way, has Klein become a Beyonder?"

Roger finally realized what was happening, but on the surface, he remained calm and shook hands with Klein.

"I didn't expect you to be such an excellent fortune teller. Your discussion of astrological divination just now was so ingenious that I was almost mesmerized."

Klein smiled, but Roger read a hint of wariness in his words.

"By the way, what I just said can easily be linked to the belief in evil gods. Could it be that my fellow villager is suspicious of me out of professional instinct?"

He hesitated for a moment, then replied:
"You're too kind. I just feel that in this era we live in, there are many ignorant and backward ideas, and the minds of ordinary people still need enlightenment and enlightenment."

Roger again deliberately placed ambiguous emphasis on the words "now" and "era".

Upon hearing this, Klein's expression finally changed from calm to serious.

"I had a question I wanted to ask you earlier at your house, but I wasn't sure if I should ask it."

After a moment, Klein spoke slowly.
