A fine young man and woman entered the tent and looked at me.
"Mister, I wish to know my future with my lover," the man spoke while looking at his lover and then looking at me.
Ah, love does bloom in any era; it must be fun having been this young.
Wait, I am also young, just 28 years old; why am I acting like I've lived my entire life?
I nodded and offered one of them a seat and said, "It's going to cost a silver coin for each divination,"
The couple nodded.
Quite rich huh; two silver coins were expensive for the general public, of course, since the age of agriculture had already passed. This town also had its 10% and 1% classes of people.
I then continued, "I will have to divine your fate individually, and thus the other must be outside."
The woman looked at her lover and nodded before leaving the tent.
The man sat in front of me and asked, "Sir, you may begin."
I took out a deck of tarot cards and shuffled it in front of the man.
The man looked confused; it was the first time he had seen this method, the tarot cards spread before him. Still, my reputation has preceded me, and he allowed me to continue my questioning.
"I then looked at him and spoke. " While thinking about your past, present, and future, draw out a cards "from the top" as I offered him the deck
We did this thrice and got 3 random cards
The Cards were
'The Empress'
'The Lover' and
'The Judgement'
The man stared at it and then looked at me and asked, "What next, Mr. Seer?"
I smiled and spoke. "The Empress signifies compassion and helpfulness to those who are in despair. Tell me, child, in the past have you helped someone with such methods?"
The man nodded; I further continued, "The Lover signifies love of passion, but do not get drunk on such passion, or else you may forget how to love."
The man looked in awe for a little before nodding.
I continued, "The judgment signifies judgment. You must not judge people for too long, or else it may do more harm than good, but that does not mean you blindly trust them either.
There will be a moment in the future where you will be forced to do certain things that may seem sharp or take action with choices that are too cruel; simply follow what your heart tells you."
"Together they signify a kind and stable fate, a lack of over-adventure even , but that isn't to say it consists of boredom."
The man spoke. "Mr. Seer, when will these events occur, though?"
I laughed a little as I answered, "Maybe tomorrow, maybe a decade later. I can merely pry at the river of fate, but that doesn't mean I can figure out time. Now, if you can, send your lover here."
The man got up as he bowed and went outside, and the young woman came in and took the seat.
I did the same process with her
'The Magician'
'The Hierophant'
'The World'
I smiled and said, "It seems in the past you have had an opportunity, but you were too focused on it, and it vanished before your eyes clouded in illusion and tricks."
The woman's eyes were sparked with a sign of awe and fear.
I continued, "The pope, huh? You must keep your focus on what you truly want. Do not get distracted from the destiny that is written by God or else the magician will return."
The girl nodded; it seemed as if she wanted to ask a question but refrained from doing so.
"The world signifies the completion of one life and the creation of another. It seems you will be blessed with completion in life and a successful chance to become a mother.
But you must keep in mind, since in the end something must be lost; it may be you or it may be someone far away."
The women looked fearful and asked, "Mr. Seer, how can I make sure it's not me or someone close to me?"
I smiled internally, but not a muscle moved on my face.
I spoke with a hint of pity and nonchalance. "Pray to Mr. Fool; He is God of Miracles."
And with that, I provide her with the 10 commandments and the honorific name of Mr. Fool.
*******************************************
As the day came near , I suddenly felt my spirituality trigger. The Seer and the Clown potion had been completely digested.
There was a major difference in my own balance of spirituality.
I smiled and got up from my seat. I then opened the drawn-in table
72 silver coins and 150 copper coins; I think I will continue this for a little longer.
I picked up all the money and left for my room in the inn.
On the way to the inn, I decided to treat myself to some soup.
***************
The Stahl family owned the biggest diner in the village.
I entered it and was greeted by Leo Sthal
"A seat for one." Leo nodded and took me to a seat just for one person.
I sat there as he spoke. "What do you like, Mr. Seer?" as he offered me a menu
Ah, it seems I have become even more famous, with just 57 divinations, at that.
Considering this village has a population of 8000, this is quite a small number but I won't be surprised if my prices for high-level divination are out of most reach
If this goes on, I wouldn't be surprised if I became one of the richest, if not the richest, in this village.
Well, I doubt it; the chief won't let me since I would be threatening this position, but I suppose that's just how systems like these work.
I looked at the menu; most items were crude with their names, so I let my instincts decide my taste and just ordered the fourth.
With that, Leo left. I had to wait 14 minutes, which was very quick for this epoch where humanity didn't have devices, but then again most items were some form of soup or bread or meat or all three.
As Leo served me my soup and left.
I looked at it; it seemed it had some pork and lamb, some herbs, and potatoes.
This was truly a good soup. At the inn I had been using gadgets from the modern era to cook some basic dishes like eggs and meat, but this was much better.
The base was creamy, filled with some form of oil, which I wasn't familiar with; the crust on the meat was way too good for it to be a seed oil of any kind.
I quickly tossed a coin to confirm, and yes, it was indeed Lard.
Well, it didn't matter to me; I was a mythical creature. I would have no severe effect even with long consumption and it won't affect these people any time soon, given how laborious their lifestyle was.
That reminds me, I haven't seen any farm of any kind in this village, which is very interesting.
I have encountered blacksmiths, textile makers, potters, cattle traders, and shepherds, but not one farmer, which does surprise me now that I think about it.
Nonetheless, this town does seem to have a strong bazaar and good marketplace; it would be no surprise if they imported it rather than growing their own.
I savoured the soup while thinking about the next step.
I also have to prepare for the Attendant of Mysteries advancement and acting, well the acting of the potion does not need to be after consuming the potion so I can use that.
Right, since I have to wait for the purification of the characteris, it is best that I do the acting for the attendant as well while I am at it.
Also I need to have an actual angel that might help me in times of need outside of our trio, what about my sister, if I can get her to work for me, then we can even have a mole in our enemies main line.
Once it started to get cold
I finished it quickly, paid my bill, and left.
************************************************
Nothing changed for the next 2 days , I got a lot of clients
I mean, I was the only supplier, and there was a lot of demand.
So profit.
**********
The fifth day, just as the clock hit 8 Am, I woke up.
Brushing up my teeth, brewing some tea with some sunny side eggs.
Today was a little different from my normal days.
Amanises and I had decided this day for our meeting.
I entered the Sefirah Castle and touched the crimson light that represented Amanises.
Pulling Her up in the sefirah castle , I spoke "Supp"
Amanises looked around before looking at me , "Supp"
She continued with a hint of excitement "I created my own Honorific Name"
"Aren't you a fast learner, well, I mean we are both behind, a Sequence 3 has a honorific name but , better late than never"
Amanises said "I know right ,quite the prodigy I am" ignoring the remarks I had added.
She continued "I also got humans under me , not just one but a group of people who seemed to fear me before but now seem to have gotten used to hearing my voices in their dreams"
"Hold on, Let hear the Honorific Name first" I said
Amanises nodded and spoke
"The Goddess of Misfortune that stands above this era
The Guardians of Dreams.
The Servant of Concealment
Warlock of ancient times."
Interesting , while it's not similar to Evernight , It does seem similar to the Fool name, though.
I nodded and spoke "yeah, and what was the other issue"
Amanises "sighed, you know, this entire thing feels like a pyramid scheme"
I said with a smug expression "what's there to feel like , it is a pyramid scheme, and If done right it can last 1000 of years, look at our own world, there were countries divided on the basis of religion—in the modern world"
Amanises "that's the thing , I think we shouldn't do it like this"
"sigh—First thing first, you aren't scamming someone, not one bit, you truly are a god , a true angel, so you truly possess the ability to alter things according to your will.
That alone differentiate us from our modern counterpart, we are real they are fake,
Second, the fact that you are getting these thoughts is a great thing , so take pride in that, you remain human even with the burden of godhood.
This is something even Grisha or I can't do so Good job on that"
Amanises sighed and said "I need therapy, Grisha should be able to provide it right?"
I nodded.
Amanises "I have shared my part, now it's your turn"
"You have a bunch of spirits under your control , correct?"
Amanises took a moment before responding, "Yes, why?"
I continued, "It will come in handy as a means for communication. While you and I can communicate with each other through honorific names, what about a person who doesn't know your or my honorific name or isn't going to chant it? Your spirit world messenger is going to be useful in such situations."
Amanises nodded and asked, "What about you? "How are you going to get messengers?"
I pondered for a moment, I can have the seven lights be my messenger but that might not be great for them at hand.
Right I can just one spirit from her and have that be my messenger.
"Give me a spirit too, I will make that my messenger."
Amanises smiled .
I continued "Well, I think I am going to have a chat with my sister"
Amanises "Goddess of Misfortune??"
I nodded, "Why?, won't she betray us."
"That's the neat part, if shit come to shove , I will parasite her thought so in an even if she does betray us, she won't be able talk anything about us"
"Ok, that might actually work, well then you have my support"
Amanises smiled and then once again asked, "Another question: why do you intend to hunt Phoenix as well, Flegrea, and quite simultaneously at that?"
Yes, this is outside of rationale. When dealing with such beings, one should keep a focused approach; after all, gods are immortal.
"I suppose this stems from convergence. I want what belongs to me just as Grisha wants it , and once you reach our level, you will too.
Furthermore, with Twilight Giant, I am sure I can hunt Phoenix, and with that, I will have a backup of sorts."
I paused for a moment.
"Grisha should be able to help us.That reminds me: never speak of his name outside of this place unless you wish to address him"
"The Omniscient and Omnipotent? So that's what it meant when you promised him Tower's Uniqueness."
I nodded and continued, "Furthermore, it's a backup. The Attendant of Mysteries is filled with CW's will, and accommodating them would yield me becoming Him, but the Worm of Time showed an approach that would be very risky without a sefirot, but it is merely an approach. And thus a backup.
Furthermore, I got a gauge at Omebella, the Goddess of Harvest. Also if memory serves, I think she has split personality governed by her two beyonder characteris, we might be able to use that."
"Does your brain not stop moving? Make sure you don't fry it."
I chuckled and nodded. "Yes , it's for these reasons we are here , to make sure we don't become what we are here to hunt."
With that I Amanises and I left Sefirah Castle.
