Wizards: Starting as a Potions Master!

Chapter 364 Tarot Card Diviner

Leaving the slave market, Su Nan didn't say much to the seven newly acquired slaves. He simply removed their shackles and took them to the clothing market in Eagle Harbor, where each of them bought a set of clothes befitting a merchant.

From them, Su Nan learned their identities. They were country nobles from the outskirts of Stormwind Keep, belonging to the Mitchell family.

At this moment, Baron Mitchell and his daughter, Laurena Mitchell, cautiously confirmed with Sunan, "So, you need us to pretend that we are a caravan."

Su Nan nodded and said, "That's indeed the case."

"And don't even think about running away. None of you have a squire among you, and the consequences of running away..."

Rye crushed a stone on the street into dust with his bare hands.

The Mitchell family was terrified, believing that the Rye Matriarch was a powerful female knight.

Laurina Mitchell said to Sunan, "So, sir... all we need to do is pretend to be businessmen with you. Then, after your business is over, can you give us our freedom?"

"I can tell that you... must be from the Storm Kingdom, your demeanor is so extraordinary. You must also be a Storm noble, perhaps even a great Storm noble."

"Please, for the sake of the Storm God, grant us our freedom after you have finished your business..."

"Is this okay?"

Su Nan resolutely refused. "I refuse. Because I bought you with my money, and unless you can offer substantial benefits, I will not relinquish my property. In other words, until you redeem yourselves, you will forever remain my slaves."

"Alright, Rye, take them to the market to buy goods."

"If you're going to pretend, then pretend to be something you're not."

The rye matriarch bowed to Sunan. "Yes, sir."

Then, she swept her icy gaze over the Mitchell family members. They were truly ungrateful; to be their master's slaves was incredibly lucky.

Su Nan then grasped something from the void. He extracted a large amount of spirituality from the passersby around him. This was to prevent the Pure White School from using specific spirituality to find and lock onto his location.

Su Nan learned from the Shadow Assassin Wizard that the Pure White School, as an assassin school, has at least twenty kinds of magic that can confirm and lock onto spirituality.

A person's spirituality is too complex, especially for someone like Su Nan who possesses a powerful spirituality. Therefore, Su Nan directly seized a large amount of spirituality to cover up his own spirituality and interfere with the Pure White School's magic.

Because the Black Merry Matriarch had gone to the market to buy goods with the Mitchell family, while Sunan was wandering around the market in Eagle Harbor alone.

He suddenly noticed that the Arcane Intuition Ring on his right index finger was shimmering with a green light. This meant that there was something nearby, and that getting closer would bring him good fortune.

Su Nan spotted a small mini circus not far away, located in a corner of the port.

After Su Nan walked over, the magical spirituality of the Arcane Intuition Ring became even stronger.

Su Nan frowned as he saw a small mini circus in the corner of the market, consisting of five small tents.

Inside the tent, there were some people watching the red-nosed clown's comical performance and the trainer manipulating the monkeys. Some people would occasionally pay a small fee for the entertaining show.

When Su Nan reached the back of the fifth tent, he saw the magical aura of his Arcane Intuition Ring become even stronger.

Su Nan saw that behind the fifth tent, a man was setting up an ordinary wooden table and using a set of tarot cards to tell fortunes for a fat woman.

The man seemed somewhat flustered, because the fat woman was dissatisfied with his divination results and was bombarding him with questions.

The plump, wealthy woman in pink said, "I asked you to do my divination so I could hear nice things, not so you could curse me!"

"What do you mean? You took a broken wooden sign and said I'm about to die? You're sick, you're insane!"

The down-on-his-luck man in the top hat was speechless. He seemed to want to explain, but the fat woman's barrage of insults left him no room to respond.

It's also possible that he's not good at expressing himself.

So, the down-on-his-luck man's face turned red, and he couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.

"No...no...this upright Death card means that the danger of death is great, but there is still a glimmer of hope. The second card is...the reversed High Priestess, which means...not being calm will lead to your death..."

The fat woman slapped his wooden table, breaking one of its legs. Then she turned and left, still cursing him as she went.

The down-on-his-luck man awkwardly tidied his table, then looked around and, upon seeing Su Nan, shrank back and said, "Hello, guest. You'll have to wait a moment. I need to take care of... take care of these chores."

"And I'm not good at... talking, so you should think carefully... about whether you want me to do a divination for you."

Su Nan looked at his right hand. The magical aura of the Arcane Intuition Ring was invisible to mortals, but at this moment the green light was as bright as an incandescent bulb.

Su Nan walked directly to the table and sat down. "It's okay, just start the divination. I don't mind if your table is tidy or not."

"Only in such a chaotic area would you see someone openly setting up a tarot card reading stall. If it were in the Storm Kingdom..."

This guy might get captured by the Church of Storms and burned at the stake as a wizard.

The down-on-his-luck man chuckled. "This is all the skill I have to earn a little money."

"Alright, my skill level is insufficient. Strictly speaking, any divination method using fewer than five tarot cards is considered a low-level divination spread. But with my skill level, I can only use the simplest, the Trinity spread, to perform a divination for you using three cards."

"So, what would you like to ask? You can ask about something that's been giving you a real headache lately, something you can't solve, or something you want to solve but haven't found the time or method to do yet."

Su Nan thought about it.

The down-on-his-luck man looked at Su Nan, then suddenly narrowed his eyes and smiled, "You don't need to say it aloud; you just need to think about this in your heart."

"If you've already divined one question, you can't divine other questions in a short period of time, because it won't be accurate."

Su Nan thought about it and realized that the recent troubles, such as his own affair with the Rubber Witch's House and the swamp, were definitely not troublesome for him.

But the real trouble is probably... Stormwind Keep.

Su Nan casually drew three cards and placed them on the table.

The man turned over the first card, which was the Chariot reversed. He smiled and said, "This card is in the past position, which means that the question you are asking will take a long time to resolve, and sometimes it may even require the help of a third party."

The man turned over the second card, the reversed Hierophant. He shook his head and said, "Oh dear, this is troublesome. This wooden card is in its current position, which means you are currently..."

"You've been influenced by faulty intelligence and have gone astray, which could lead to your defeat. You've been deceived by the enemy. Or perhaps the enemy is too powerful and numerous. Even if you manage to defeat a few of them, they will eventually find a way to deal with you, or they may already be targeting you."

The man solemnly turned over the third wooden card, the Temperance card. A slight smile appeared on his face as he said, "This card represents the future, a card with an uncertain outcome. It means that as long as you focus on the process, not the result, and slowly and steadily implement your plan, you will achieve your goal."

"The key is to focus on the process, not the result. Because your enemy... may find the result irrelevant to them, while the justice and legitimacy of the process are what determine your victory or defeat."

Su Nan frowned and examined the man several more times, confirming that the man had no magical power whatsoever.

He suddenly pointed a finger between the man's eyebrows, and the man shrank back in his chair in fright. "Guest...guest, please don't be angry."

"I'm just telling the truth..."

"Hitting me won't change anything."

Su Nan glanced at him, then tossed him a Storm Coin and turned to leave. After all, he had just tried to test him with magic to see if he was a wizard. The potion's lightning was practically pressed against his forehead, but he was still only slightly frightened.

Ten minutes after Su Nan left, he suddenly returned to the circus and stood behind the fifth tent at the very back of the circus. There were no wooden tables or men there.

There was only the corpse of a fat woman wearing pink clothes.

Su Nan frowned, turned and left, stopping a clown handing out flyers as he moved between the circus tents. He asked, "Where's your circus's tarot card reader?"

The clown apprentice looked at Su Nan with a puzzled expression. "Sir, we've never had a tarot card reader here. That stuff is too sensitive; the religious soldiers at Eagle Harbor could easily arrest us. Our circus wouldn't dare do that."

Su Nan looked thoughtful.

So, the fortune teller who did the divination for me before was definitely not an ordinary person.

It seems that my meeting with him in Eagle Harbor was not a coincidence.

I just don't know how he managed to completely hide his strength from me.

Besides, why did he specifically wait for me to tell me all this?

……

On the nearest mountain peak outside Eagle Harbor, the Angry Angel descended from the sky and landed before the Dark Wanderer.

"King with unspeakable sorrow, that wizard has already noticed your unusual behavior. But why are you helping him...?"

The Dark Wanderer, the down-on-his-luck man, said, "A second-ring wizard... truly vigilant. He intended to leave no trace. But my energy radiation contamination had no effect on him."

The King with a speechless voice said, "There can only be one winner, but there are seven of us brothers, which is a bit too many. Currently, the King with no vision has the biggest advantage, so... I need to find someone to help him slow down his progress a bit."

"If I hadn't done anything, that Sunan Peter would have been tricked by that blind king."

"That won't do."

"Alright, I need to think some more about that blind king and who else he has in common. We should make use of him if we can."

……

The body behind the mini circus in Eagle Harbor quickly attracted everyone's attention. Su Nan guessed that the down-on-his-luck middle-aged man from earlier must have killed her.

But at most, that woman was just being disrespectful with her words.

It seems that this person, who subtly reminds himself of his existence, is not exactly a respectable individual.

Su Nan left without making a sound; he wanted to leave Eagle Harbor as soon as possible and head to his destination in the swamp.

I still need to improve my strength as soon as possible.
