Unspeakable bubbles

"Anything unusual must be a sign of something sinister," Misato was absolutely certain. This monster was none other than the smiling saintess not far away!

'Did she run away? It seems she won't come looking for me,' Tana thought to herself.

"Holy, Holy Maiden!"

"Huh?" Tana looked at Misato, who was running towards her breathlessly, with some surprise.

"I thought you weren't going to come looking for me... Didn't you just run away? Why did you come back?"

"Haha, that was just a subconscious reaction."

Misato wiped her nose: "When I thought about those nightmares last night, I instinctively ran away."

"That……"

"One thing at a time!"

Misato shouted, "I still need to learn the 'Dream Entry Technique' from you, how can I run away as soon as I see you?"

"Um, Your Holiness, you won't go back on your word, will you?" Misato's voice became much softer.

"I keep my word."

Tana paused for a moment, then said, "However, I need to go see those patients first. Come find me around noon."

"It's alright, let's go together!"

“I have an agreement with the Hada tribe to help them take care of the sick.”

Aren't you afraid of getting infected?

"I have a nickname."

Misato pointed to herself: "Everyone calls me 'Miri the Fortune Teller'!"

"Oh?"

Tana seemed to have developed some interest in Miri, and she asked, "Without receiving guidance from older generations of wizards, how do you perform divination for others?"

"Just figure it out yourself."

Misato scratched her head: "Those spirits are quite willing to help me. If I want a divination, I can just ask them."

"How often do you do divination?" Tana frowned slightly.

“Before, it was at most twice a month, but since coming to the grasslands, the frequency has increased a lot,” Miri said honestly.

This frequency is already very low.

“Since the benevolent spirits are willing to help you, why not perform divination a few more times?” Tana gazed at the girl in front of her.

"With such power, one should be able to acquire many things for oneself."

"Well, it's not right to keep bothering them."

"It's a favor that they're willing to help you; you can't take that favor for granted."

As she spoke, Misato smiled sheepishly, "That's what I say, but sometimes when there's something I really want to know, there's nothing I can do."

"Hehe, I'll bother them a few more times sometimes."

"Come with me," Tana called to Misato, urging her to follow.

Whether it was her imagination or not, Misato felt that the charlatan Tana seemed to have become a little closer to her.

Section 258, Chapter 257: Destiny

Before Tana knew it, seven days had passed since she arrived at the Hada tribe. During this time, Miri had practically become her shadow, following Tana wherever she went.

After spending some time together, Miri discovered that Tana was a very capable person.

Under her coordination, a group of outside warriors actually got along very well with the Hada tribe.

Misato had initially thought there would be some scene where an arrogant warrior looked down on a small tribe.

Besides being resourceful, Misato also noticed that this saintess was very busy.

After finishing her breakfast, Tana went to visit the patients with heat rash, trying various methods to treat infectious diseases.

He personally prepared a sticky topical medicine, held ceremonies that were said to cure diseases, counseled those patients who were still conscious, collected blood samples and sent warriors to deliver them to the Black Heaven Cult...

It's clear that this saintess genuinely wants to save them.

Tana would be so busy until the afternoon, and if Misato hadn't reminded her every time, she probably would have forgotten to eat lunch.

After attempting to treat the patient, Tana would convene a short meeting with the warrior who had accompanied her and the two 'maids'.

During the meeting, everyone took turns speaking and reporting their daily work to Tana.

Tana never hesitates to praise those who do well, and she mainly encourages those who don't.

At the end of the meeting, Tana will assign each person tasks for the next day.

After finishing all these things, Tana was finally able to rest for a while.

She would usually go to Bubble to chat and invite the little girl to dinner.

After that, it was Miri's study time.

Tana was very strict, requiring Misato to follow even the smallest details of the dream-entering method, such as posture and breathing frequency. She was not like someone who could walk after just a few days of instruction.

Miri was exhausted every day, with a sore back and aching waist, but it was rare for someone to point her in the right direction, so she gritted her teeth and persevered each time.

"Saintess Tana, I have a question I'd like to ask!" After a lesson, Misato seized the opportunity to ask the question that had been bothering her for a long time.

“I refuse to answer such a nonsensical question. Also, Saintess Tana? It feels strange coming from you.” Tana frowned slightly.

"It's a very serious issue."

"As for the title, I think Saintess Tana is perfectly fine!" Misato said with a grin.

"What's the problem? Just say it." Since it was a respectful form of address, Tana didn't dwell too much on the issue of how she addressed him.

Why is it that sometimes when I try to divine about someone, the spirits don't respond at all?

"No reaction at all?"

"No, they seem to have all disappeared!"

"Is it always like this?" Tana asked to confirm.

"It happens every time! I even tried it yesterday!"

"Who is the person you are divining for?"

"Hehe." Misato chuckled twice, but did not answer the question.

"There are many possibilities."

Tana said calmly, "For example, the person you divine for is far more powerful than you."

"For example, he/she may possess a powerful secret treasure that interferes with your divination."

"For example, a wizard with a higher level of cultivation than you might have covered for him/her."

Which category do you think falls into?

“It should be the first one…” Misato said uncertainly.

"Is the person you want to divine for an extremely powerful individual?"

"no."

"With your skill level, unless you're trying to divine the fate of an extremely powerful being, the worst that can happen is a failed divination. The benevolent spirits won't give you no reaction at all."

Tana said thoughtfully, "Perhaps it's another possibility."

"What's possible?"

"The person you wish to have their fortune told is destined for greatness!"

"Huh?" Misato blinked, finding Tana's words somewhat mysterious.

"What do you mean?"

"The Khan of the grasslands, King Sen, the Grand Consul of the Pruton Union... these are all people with a destiny, and the wizard cannot perform divination on them before their destiny is fulfilled."

"There's... there's such a saying?"

Seeing Miri's skeptical yet eager-to-try demeanor, Tana warned, "Those powerful figures I mentioned all have highly skilled people around them. Don't try to calculate their fortunes just because you're curious."

"When the time comes, be careful your life won't be in danger."

"Uh," Miri immediately lowered her head guiltily.

"Even without a master by your side, it is a great taboo for a wizard to divine those who are destined for greatness."

Tana said seriously, "If it's a benevolent divination, that's fine, but if it's malicious, it will inevitably suffer the backlash of fate!"

"The negative consequences of this backlash may not be immediately apparent, but one day you will pay the price for your actions."

Misato's heart pounded at Tana's words, and she quickly raised her hands in surrender: "I understand, I understand, I will never do fortune-telling about her again!"

“There are far too many terrible things in this world, Miri. As a wizard, you must always be on edge,” Tana said earnestly.

"Yes, I understand!"

"Alright, I won't say anything more. Let's continue."

"Huh? But it's already so late, should we continue?"

"Your posture is seriously flawed and must be corrected today!"

Professor Tana's time with Miri depended on how well the girl was studying that day, but no matter how late it was, she would always do her daily bedtime prayers after Miri left.

Several times, the game ended particularly late. After Misato left, she would deliberately turn back halfway to eavesdrop on the sounds inside the tent, hoping to see if Tana had gone to sleep after she left.

Naturally, Miri heard the same devout prayers that she had heard when she left.

'He's a devout charlatan, and a powerful one at that,' Misato thought to herself.

Just as Misato was getting used to this kind of life, the peace was suddenly shattered.

One evening, a large group of people dressed very similarly to Tana came to the Hada tribe.
