There are only two things in this world that a wizard can be in awe of.
One is a book; the other is divination.
Books represent the known, represent reality, and represent the existence of wizards in this world.
Divination explains the wizard's grasp of the mysterious unknown, his coveting of time, and his spying on destiny.
With the continuous development of magical civilization, wizards continue to use the known to erode the unknown, and begin to use books to carry divination, striving to turn these awe into respect and make it a part of daily life.
Even so, for most wizards, divination is still a mysterious and profound knowledge.
On the title page of every divination textbook, there is a motto written in red pen:
Divination requires caution.
In Zheng Qing's first divination class, the thin divination professor did not ask the young wizards to open their textbooks. He left a deep impression on everyone with just a few simple actions:
He asked the freshmen to take turns to come to the podium, stand in front of him for one minute, and face each other;
Then draw one tarot card from the table and count the cards;
Finally, the newcomers will leave a word for him on a white paper and test the word.
For students who have a certain foundation in divination, the professor specifically allows them to observe a crystal ball or burn a small piece of tortoise shell and describe what they see and hear.
The professor himself used this set of combined divination techniques to conduct a precise analysis of each student.
From names, birthdays, to personalities, hobbies, and even the subjects each person is good at, their New Year's wishes, and even the specific images of the newcomers' deepest fears, as well as some of their difficult decisions, the professor explained it in a few minutes.
Explain everything in a private meeting.
This time, the self-introduction of newcomers who are mainly anti-customers will shock the soul of every college freshman who has just entered the school.
Therefore, Professor Yi Jiazi's repeated emphasis on 'caution in divination' in the first class was firmly engraved in Zheng Qing's mind.
Therefore, when he heard that Elena was doing divination, he immediately became nervous.
Seeing his nervous look, the gypsy witch suddenly laughed.
"It's okay." Elena comforted her with a brisk tone: "This is not a formal divination...it can only be regarded as a guess in a certain sense...The divination mentioned by the professor requires the use of superb magic skills and many auxiliary conditions.
, and these ethereal smokes are far from meeting the conditions for performing divination magic."
Although he didn't quite understand the conditions Elena mentioned, Zheng Qing knew that things were not going out of control.
This really relieved him.
His little heart could no longer withstand any unexpected stimulation today.
"I thought you used that deck of tarot cards for divination." He sat on the high chair, shaking the demon blood wine in his hand, trying to look relaxed.
"Tarot cards are auxiliary props for formal divination, while smoke can only provide some specious choices." Elena looked at the smoke in fascination, as if trying to distinguish something.
"It sounds like smoke divination belongs to ancient divination?" Zheng Qing showed a thoughtful expression on his face: "I always thought that this skill only existed in textbooks."
With the development of divination to modern times, differences between schools and regions have been abandoned.
In the "Wizard Encyclopedia", under the entry of divination, only ancient divination and modern divination are distinguished.
Compared with the ancient divination that relied on guessing for three points and relying on heaven for seven points, modern divination is more based on a large number of careful calculations and countless strict formulas.
And compared with the conclusion that ancient divination was not very effective, modern divination is more similar to the great prophecy of gods.
Accurate, detailed, and reliable conclusions.
So when people mention divination, they will subconsciously understand it as modern divination.
Ancient divination has gradually become a memory in books and legends.
"This is indeed an ancient divination technique." Elena explained to him with a smile: "Such secret techniques rarely appear in the lives of wizards now... I estimate that only gypsy witches like us have a very traditional style.
Only a wizard organization can have a complete inheritance of some ancient divination techniques."
"How can these smoke be used for divination?" Zheng Qing showed great interest in the large cloud of smoke in front of the witch: "If you don't mind, can you tell me about it?"
"I don't mind!" Elena picked up a silver-white fork from the bar and pointed at the large cloud of smoke in front of her: "It's just like what you saw."
"Clouds are divided into cumulus clouds, stratus clouds, and cirrus clouds; fog includes advection fog, evaporative fog, uphill fog, frontal fog, etc."
Elena took a leisurely puff of the cigarette and gently blew out a wisp of bluish-white smoke. Then she pointed her index finger at the misty smoke and explained:
"To put it simply: cumulus clouds represent a negative aspect, which also means that the time is very close; cirrus clouds represent a positive aspect, which also means that the time is relatively far away. Advection fog means stability, uphill fog means hardship, and frontal fog means twists and turns."
Zheng Qing looked at the billowing smoke blankly, unable to see any difference between the unpredictable smoke.
In order to explain more clearly, Elena moved slightly closer to him. His nostrils were filled with the fragrance of the gypsy witch, and his mind was blank. He could only giggle and nod dizzy.
"What were you looking at just now?" Sensing that the witch's explanation had come to an end, Zheng Qing's mind became extremely sharp and he quickly found the next topic: "What are the characteristics of the smoke you just exhaled?"
"There are cirrus clouds and frontal fog, which means that the long-term results will be good, but there will be some twists and turns in the middle." Elena blinked, with a mysterious smile on her face: "As for what I am looking at...
"
"Please take your time with your drink." The multi-armed waiter behind the bar came over and handed Zheng Qing a cup of prepared Fog Bee, with an apologetic smile on his face: "We are deeply sorry for your unpleasant experience just now.
I'm sorry, I hope you can accept it."
"It's okay, it's okay." Zheng Qing took the wine glass and repeatedly signaled to the waiter that he could leave.
However, after this interruption, the gypsy witch seemed to have lost interest in continuing to explain, and just stared blankly at the almost dispersing smoke in front of her without saying a word.
"What are you predicting?" Zheng Qing hesitated for a long time, but finally couldn't help it and asked again.
Elena took another puff of cigarette, exhaled a cloud of mist, and said nothing.
"Sorry, I'm just a little curious." Sensing the silence of the beautiful woman in front of him, Zheng Qing felt a little uneasy.
"It doesn't matter." Elena seemed to have just come back to her senses. She raised her head and glanced at him. Her slightly hoarse voice was full of smile: "My divination matter has something to do with you."
"It has something to do with me?!" Zheng Qing repeated in surprise.
He pulled at his collar.
He felt like he couldn't breathe.
