Guild Boss's Ambition

"If—"

After the ancient mountain was ruthlessly sunk by a stray bullet, Miss Doris volunteered to raise her hand and said sweetly: "If you don't mind, I can help you with every divination! Don't look at me like this, I majored in astrology in the mysticism when I studied abroad in the Dark Alliance, and the Fallolin prophecy was the research topic for me to graduate from the academy!"

"No! Doris, what you took out must be something bad!"

Unexpectedly, Meng'er's disgust was even stronger this time. I don't know what kind of childhood she and Miss Doris had. However, today is the National Memorial Day and it is also a day off for everyone. Even if Meng'er is our president, she cannot represent all of us alone. For example, Sister Annie is one of the people Meng'er dare not refute.

"Hmm? Wait, prophecy? It sounds interesting. Why don't you give it a try?"

"Well, if you're Sister Annie and you want to try it, then just give it a try..."

"Haha! Then Ruan, the foreign student, will make a fool of himself in front of you all!"

Seeing Meng'er's attitude soften, Miss Doris, who seemed to want to show off, immediately conjured a deck of cards on the table and said loudly: "We fortune tellers have many ways of divination, such as crystal balls, spirits, and animal fortunes. But today is the day of the fall of the ancient Farolinian Kingdom, so let's play with Farolinian astrology cards!"

"Attention! Unlike the astrology of those scammers on the market, the magic cards in Ruan's hand really have the power of prediction. They include 13 God Cards, 3 Joker Cards, 7 Adventure Cards, and 17 pairs of Noble Phantasm Cards. The method of divination is very simple. Just randomly draw one of the 13 God Cards, and then randomly draw 1-1 cards from the other cards, and that's it!"

"If there's no problem, does anyone want to try it first?"

Normally in an occasion like this, Gu Shan should have been the first to clamor to try it out, but she was extremely afraid of the snake woman Doris, so Bai Ye, who was more curious, became the first white mouse.

"Although I know a little about astrology, I believe Miss Dosley is more specialized, right?"

"No, no, no, fortune-telling is not a difficult thing. If you play it more and watch it for a long time, you can actually tell fortunes for yourself."

"Miss Doris, you are too modest."

"Then please let Miss Bai Ye draw the cards first."

There are two decks of cards in total, the thinner one is the 13 god cards, and the thicker one is the collection of other cards.

Following Miss Doris' instructions, Bai Ye drew a card from the God card, and then drew two cards from another pile.

The card drawn by Bai Ye was not opened immediately, but was handed over to Miss Doris, who opened it personally.

Miss Snake first turned over Bai Ye's god card, which showed a skull holding a golden staff.

"Hades, the god of the underworld? He is a god that is very compatible with Miss Bai Ye!"

"It is indeed quite interesting. Please continue, Miss Doris."

As she spoke, Miss Doris skillfully turned over the remaining two cards at once with her wizard's hand. The one on the left was an ivory piccolo, and the one on the right had a sun, a moon, and a clown without a smile.

"Three Ways Flute, and half of a clown? Miss Bai Ye, this..."

“It’s fun, it’s really fun.”

After seeing these three cards, Miss Doris suddenly frowned solemnly. On the contrary, Miss Bai Ye showed a bright smile. This strange atmosphere made the scene tense all of a sudden, and people couldn't help but think of the bad side.

Without waiting for the fortune teller to explain, Bai Ye had already made her own conclusion: "No need to explain. I roughly understand the result of the divination. It's not good or bad, especially the half clown. Once you see this ugly clown, no one can predict the final outcome. Okay, it's the next person's turn to do the divination?"

After he finished speaking, Bai Ye gave President Meng'er a provocative look.

Seeing Bai Ye's eyes, Meng'er, who was originally uninterested, immediately sat down opposite Miss Doris.

"Come on, come on, it's just divination, what's there to be afraid of? Anyway, the one doing the divination is Doris, so the result will definitely not be accurate!"

"Who said it wouldn't be accurate? It's just that you always draw the worst lot, and you can't avoid it!"

"Alright, alright! Stop talking nonsense. I've already drawn the card. Help me check it!"

During the debate, President Meng'er had already drawn the cards. She drew a god card and a treasure card.

The God card shows a woman holding a sword and a shield, and the Noble Phantasm card shows an arrow.

"Athena the Valkyrie, and the Arrow of Paris."

From the books in Berlane's collection, we know that this other world is the same as Earth, and also has Greek mythology. Regarding this ancient myth, one says it was fabricated by people, and another says it is history that is so old that it cannot be traced. But whether on Earth or in this other world, Paris and the arrow have two meanings - the arrow that shot Achilles and the arrow that shot Paris.

"I don't need you to tell me, I will be careful of archers myself!"

Like Bai Ye, Meng'er immediately stopped Miss Doris who was about to explain the divination results.

However, Miss Doris started scolding Meng'er with a fierce face: "Do you think you are Miss Bai Ye? What do you mean by being careful of archers? Do you think the threat to you is from archers? You are wrong. What you should be careful of is arrogance and selfishness! You should know that Athena is different from you. In addition to being brave, she is also very smart!"

"Hey, hey, hey! Is it fair for you to compare a legendary god to a mere mortal like me?!"

"In short, you have to be careful with your attitude. Otherwise, you won't get a life to pay for your death!"

"How dare you curse me to death! Idiot Doris!"

"Who wants to curse you to death? But the result of the divination is like this! Stupid Xiao Meng!"

Seeing that this pair of happy enemies seemed to be about to stage an MMA match on the spot, I handed Lian'er, who was sleeping on my shoulder, to Bai Ye first, and then persuaded them: "Okay, okay, Sister Meng'er, please get out of the way after you finish your divination! Annie and the others are waiting in line at the back! Although I know that you and Miss Doris are very close, you are not allowed to show off your affection like this!"

"So-and-so-and-so... has been showing affection with this idiot (stupid)!"

As soon as they heard my ambiguous accusation, they kept pinching each other's cheeks and their faces turned red. As if to prove that their relationship was not good at all, they separated in an attempt to hide the truth, and then exchanged a look of disgust with each other. From the whole picture, it can be seen that they were as arrogant as they could be, and had as many lesbian friends as they wanted.

"Ahem, I made you laugh just now."

As if to restore the dignity of a fortune teller, Miss Doris cleared her throat and said, "Miss Lannon, you can draw the card!"

「俺のターン!!!」

Seeing these astrology cards with beautifully painted card backs, a strange Japanese sentence suddenly popped up in my mind. However, as a poster girl with temperament and wisdom, I would naturally not do such a disgraceful thing. I just drew a God card and three Noble Phantasm cards normally, and then said: "I cover three Trap Cards and end this round!"

“…” “…” “…” “…” “…” “Ah…”

Amidst the silence and Lian'er's mumbling, Miss Doris chuckled and said, in line with my shameless words, "Well, it's not my turn. Turn over the enemy's trap cards. Okay, the first trap card is a god card called Space Dragon. This is a very special card. It and Father Time's fate are both very difficult to predict."

"Okay, then we turn over the second trap card. Uh, this is an adventure card called Nature's Wrath. It symbolizes an irresistible fate. When we see this card, we'd better pray that the result of the divination will be a good thing, because unless we draw the Sage's Tin Staff and the Ranger's Sword, there will be no turning back."

"Well, let's take a look at the third card, shall we? The third card is - it's actually the Sage's Staff? Eh? Could the next four cards really be the Ranger Sword? That's a combination I've never seen before even in my long time playing with Astrology cards!"

At this point, there is a dragon, a tree, a staff, and a covered card on the table.

Out of my habit when playing poker in the past, at this critical moment, listening to the fortune teller's highly dramatic lines, I instinctively reached out for the last card and turned it over with the force as if I was grasping my own destiny!

There was a snap.

The bottom of the card was revealed, and it was a sword.

sword of ranger.

……

……

52. Divination? Divination! (Gu Shan)

(Ancient Mountain)

Xiaolan turned over the last card, which was a card with a long sword printed on it.

At the same time, Miss Snake also cried out in tears: "Ya - Miss Lan Nong, you, you, you messed up my divination!!! After your hand touched the last card, I can no longer help you with divination! What a pity, this is a card type that only appears once in a hundred years! I heard that for this type of card type to appear, the conditions required are so strict that they can be compared to the twelve trials of Hercules!"

"Huh? Then let's do divination again?" Xiao Lan was stunned and asked.

"No! Ruan can only read divination for the same person once within a week, but the divination just now has been interrupted."

After receiving Miss Snake's regretful reply, Xiao Lan sat up from her chair, looked towards me, and winked. I guess she hoped that I would stop hiding behind Sister Annie and stand up bravely to face the scary half-blood Miss Medusa. However, when it comes to reptiles, I really can't...

"Relax, Gushan, Miss Doris won't bite."

At this time, Senior Annie pushed me from behind and sent me out with just the right force. After I staggered to stand still, my eyes met the eyes of Medusa. They were a pair of beautiful eyes as blue as lake water, but the strange thing was that the pupils on them seemed to be painted with mysterious runes, making people feel that they could speak, tell secrets, and curse.

"Good afternoon, friend. You look like you don't like Ruan very much?" The snake girl said to me with a smile.

"I...I'm just a little nervous and a little afraid of snakes," I replied.

"Afraid of snakes? You are a poster girl, right? If you are so afraid of snakes, how do you usually get along with lizard people?" the girl asked.

Yes, they are all reptiles, so why don’t I have any aversion to lizard people?

If I treat Miss Doris's tail as the tail of a lizard man, then maybe I can reduce my aversion to her a little? No, no, after all, venomous snakes and lizards are two completely different species, and if I really treat their tails as the same today, when I return to the stone house, I'm afraid I won't even be able to look the lizard man in the face...

"Well, Miss Doris, let's just start divination..." I said with a wry smile.

With the help of Miss Bai Ye's tranquilization spell, I was able to sit down under Miss Doris's gaze. Because the table was made of translucent glass, I could vaguely see the lush snake tail under the table. Just like the snake girl's hair color, the surface of the tail was sea blue, and the belly was crescent white. The overall look was very beautiful and generous, but unfortunately...

It still feels pretty scary.

"Forget it. It seems impossible to get you used to Ruan all of a sudden."

Although it was definitely very rude of me to show such fear for no reason, Miss Doris was a tolerant and well-educated noble. She did not blame me or even frown. She just gave me a comforting smile and said, "Well, Miss Gushan, please draw the cards. You don't need to open the cards you have drawn. Just give them to Ruan to deal with."

So I drew the cards as she instructed.

At this moment, because there were other things to attract my attention, I was a little less nervous and afraid.

Speaking of fortune-telling, it is one of my favorite things. Since I like the psychological tests in a certain column very much, I would go to Uncle Stallone almost every week to ask him to borrow his Ziegland Food Magazine, which made him very annoyed. In the end, he simply threw the magazines he had read into a fixed place and let me read them at will.

This time, I only drew one God card and one normal card.

Under Miss Doris's personal manipulation, the two cards revealed their true appearances one after another.

Unlike the previous divination, this time the first card revealed was the ordinary card.

It was a Noble Phantasm Card, the Goblin King's Mace.

Then, Miss Doris turned over the remaining God cards.

The God Card depicts a human being with both male and female sexual characteristics. The upper body of the person in the painting has voluptuous breasts, and the lower body is a lifeless bird. When I saw this strange painting, I couldn't help laughing. I chuckled twice in an impolite manner. Because of these two vulgar laughs, I covered my mouth in embarrassment.

"Feel sorry……"

"No, the picture is indeed quite funny, and you are not the first person to laugh at the God of Fertility."

As she spoke, Miss Doris turned her gaze to President Ehard. It seemed that there were indeed more than one person in the world with a vulgar sense of humor like me. Moreover, connecting the two together just proved the saying that birds of a feather flock together. It is also true that red will be corrupted by the company of ink - the reason why we became bad must be because of the kid next door.

Laughter is the best lubricant between people.

Because of this vulgar smile, the pressure that Miss Doris put on me was reduced a lot.

"Um, Miss Doris, what is the result of the divination?" I asked curiously.

"Shh, you can't tell!"

At this time, Miss Doris made a mysterious gesture to silence her and said, "For some reason, we fortune tellers are sometimes not allowed to reveal the results of our divinations. After all, prophecies can rewrite the future to a certain extent. If we accidentally reveal too much, good things can turn into bad things, and bad things can turn into worse things."

"So, Miss Doris, do you foresee good or bad things?"

In the face of my questioning, Miss Doris just smiled silently and peacefully, with a look of half joy and half sadness in her eyes. Her temperament inevitably overlapped in my mind with that of her mother, Ms. Corvina. She transformed from the carefree girl at the beginning into a real royal aristocrat, which made me instantly realize that she was a wise person who adhered to principles.

"I see. Thank you, Miss Doris."

"Please call Ruan Doris, Miss Gushan."

"Okay, Doris! You can just call me Gu Shan too!"

"Okay, Gushan."

After finishing the divination, I gave up my seat consciously. In stark contrast to the heaviness and fear I had felt when I sat down, I felt light and natural when I stood up. Although I was still afraid of snakes, I had a positive perception of Miss Doris. She was a good person with a good character and good morals, and also a fortune teller with integrity.

I think……

After returning to the stone house, I should try to overcome my fear of snakes, otherwise...

I might have missed many good opportunities to interact with a great person.

“Ahhhh, I’m the only one left…”

"Yes, only you, Sister Annie, are left!"

As she reflected and thought settled, Senior Annie also sat opposite the fortune teller.

Although Senior Annie often refuses invitations from me and other poster girls, it is not difficult to see that Senior Annie is happy and enjoying herself at this moment, because the smile on her face is different from the smile when she is working. Now it is not a polite and intellectual smile, but a smile that is so joyful that even the corners of her eyes are tickled, a smile that can't be helped.

I really hope I can see such a smile every day.

It's not a particularly beautiful smile, but it has special meaning.

What metaphor should I use?

How to describe it?

I looked up to the horizon, and there was blue sky and white clouds.

Good things always happen on days with blue sky and white clouds──

On a day with blue sky and white clouds, even if you encounter unpleasant things, you will not be unable to get through them.

Senior Annie’s smile is like the blue sky and white clouds in the sky.

I myself don’t know what it looks like exactly, but it’s just blue sky and white clouds.
