Chapter 1663 Staggered in the International Conference Eighteen
Chapter 1663: Intertwining and meeting (18)
In another corner to the west of Cairo's black market, there is a strange and twisted black room.
Outside the house, even the walls are made of special black bricks. There are no flowers or plants planted on the bare courtyard, leaving only a cracked wasteland, which makes people doubt the existence value of this courtyard.
However, even if no flowers and plants are planted in this courtyard, it still plays its unique role: scaring away tourists passing by. This desolate courtyard makes this black house look like a haunted house, coupled with the black walls and the
The long, twisted steel spikes and the horror created by the entire area are enough to stop most curious people.
However, Rosetta, the gem queen, took Palamedes towards this strange black room. She did it on purpose. The fortune teller she was looking for must live in this strange black room.
Bar.
Seeing the scene outside the house, the big cat not only did not feel scared, but actually showed a bit of contempt in his heart. As for the fortune teller. Not to mention whether this so-called fortune teller is real or not, she arranged the house so mysteriously, so obviously
Are you trying to make people believe that divination is real? This all seems so fake.
Despite this, Palamedes still believed in Rosetta. In other words, he believed in Rosetta's "ability". If the other party was a deceptive fortune teller, the Queen of Jewels Rosetta's hearing would definitely be able to detect something.
Yes.
...In other words, is the fortune teller real? Does he really have the ability to divine and predict the future?
Regarding this, Big Cat still maintains a skeptical attitude. He still does not believe in such superstitious things as divination.
"I'll make it clear to you before I see the fortune teller." Rosetta walked to the door of the big house, and before knocking on the door, she lowered her voice and said to Palamedes, "I know you are doubting fortune telling.
I also know that you will try to find a breakthrough in the divination process to question the fortune teller. But I tell you, all this is unnecessary. Moreover, this fortune teller has a very vengeful personality. If you
She's angry. I'm afraid she won't help you with divination in the future. So I sincerely beg you, don't ask anything or say anything after entering the house. Leave everything to me. Okay?
?"
"Uh...that's it..." Palamedes felt very embarrassed. His nature was inherently stubborn, and if he saw something that made him unhappy, it would be difficult not to say it. If he was aware of the fortune teller,
Does it really require him to remain silent for some obvious deceptive tactics?
"I know what you are thinking, but don't, really don't." Rosetta then begged again: "When everything is over, I believe you will get the answer you want, and I promise, you will never
You will be disappointed. So until then, please remain silent, okay?"
"Okay...I will try to do it..." Palamedes muttered in a low voice.
"Do you want me to stuff your mouth with something?" Of course Rosetta also noticed that the big cat was not telling what she said, so she said jokingly.
"It's better to tie me up and put a muzzle on me." Palamedes replied jokingly.
Rosetta shook her head angrily, reached out and knocked on the door.
"The door is unlocked, come in." The moment he knocked on the door, a slightly vague human voice came from inside the room, as if that person had already noticed or expected the visit of Rosetta and Paramedes.
"Interesting." Although he didn't say it out loud, Palamedes began to subconsciously resist every move of the fortune teller, trying to find out the other party's flaws.
Does the fact that the door is unlocked mean that the other party can predict the future and know that Palamedes and Rosetta will come to find her at this time? Obviously not. Maybe she never locks the door. Or maybe there is a surveillance camera secretly installed outside the courtyard of the house.
, when Palamedes and the others approached, the people in the house were already clear and the automatic door was unlocked.
After Rosetta pushed the door open and walked in, the big cat couldn't help but cover its nose. There was a suffocating musty smell inside the old black house. But maybe it wasn't actually that serious, but the big cat's sense of smell was already strong.
After drinking, the sense of smell is enhanced to a higher level than usual.
The hall of the house was dark and gloomy. There was a woman sitting there, who seemed to be a middle-aged woman, but most of her face was covered by a black velvet hood. Palamedes could not tell her age.
"Sit down."
But the fortune teller spoke very steadily and slowly, even feebly, like an old man. This convinced Palamedes that the fortune teller's age
It must have been very big.
We are already old, so we can rest assured and care for the elderly. Don't come here to swindle us, okay? ------Palamidis lowered his eyelids halfway, subconsciously showing a look of contempt. He was naturally attracted by the gem.
Queen Rosetta rolled her eyes fiercely.
"I know why you are here, so I won't ask. To make a long story short--give me your hand to see." The fortune teller spread out a hand towards Palamedes.
Wearing black silk stockings on her hands, no flesh is exposed at all, and she still looks quite mysterious.
"Uh, so you want to read my palm?" Paramedis said with a funny face: "Can you really tell from this palm? My hand is not a normal human hand, but has a flesh ball.
Cat paws?"
Rosetta rolled her eyes at Palamedes again, fiercely. She had already planned to stop the big cat before he said anything rude, just a little bit.
"It's not about palm reading. Just hand me your hand." said the fortune teller.
The other party's statement was quite new. This was good, the big cat couldn't find anything to complain about, and the other party asked him for the cat's claws in such a tough manner, even if Paramedis didn't cooperate.
"Okay." Palamedes handed over his right hand.
The fortune teller took off his black stockings, revealing a white and tender hand, and suddenly grabbed the big cat paw of Palamedes.
"Hmm...?" The Leopard Man Warrior felt a little strange. No, the strangest thing was not the opponent's jade hand that was far out of line with his age. If the hands were well maintained, the old man's hands could also be very beautiful--
----The strangest thing is actually that Palamedes suddenly felt a chill!
That kind of coldness is probably not physical coldness, but more like a feeling of chilling the soul, a kind of mental pressure.
The slender hand that the fortune teller used to grab Palamedes should obviously be weak and weak, just like an old woman should be; but after it grabbed Palamedes, the big cat felt
It was like being clamped tightly by steel pliers! But at least it felt like the fortune teller didn't actually grab Palamedes' hand with force, but just held it gently?
It shouldn't be cold, but it feels cold. It's obviously just being gently grasped, but the big cat feels as if it's being clamped hard by steel pliers. Why is there such a big contrast between mentally and physically?
...Is this some kind of hypnosis?
The big cat was still hesitating whether to withdraw his hand, but the fortune teller had already come to a conclusion and let go of Palamedes' hand: "It's too late. The item you are looking for has been lost.
hand to another."
"Damn it." Rosetta didn't even doubt the fortune teller's words, she simply cursed in a low voice.
"However, it is not too late. There is still the possibility of retrieving what you are looking for. Go south. The first noble person you meet on the road will be the key to helping you retrieve what you have lost."
"I understand. Thank you, Granny Lenormand." Rosetta, the Queen of Gems, stood up from her chair, "Then, the situation is urgent, so please forgive us for being rude and take our leave now."
"Well, goodbye?" Paramedes also stood up from the chair. Although it was still a little unclear, the big cat was actually very happy to be able to stay away from this pretentious old woman as soon as possible.
"Take a crystal on the table. You will need it." Grandma Lenormand, the fortune teller, said again.
The leopard warrior didn't want to listen to this pretentious fortune teller. However, Rosetta, the queen of gems, turned around and glared at Palamedes: "What are you doing? Grandma Lenormand asked you to get a crystal, so just take it."
Ah. From now on, the divination done by my mother-in-law is centered on you, and the crystal must be held by you to be effective."
"But------" Big Cat really can't believe what impact a small crystal will have on their next actions. If it's just a direction, it's no big deal to follow it. After all, it's not a big deal.
Ramidis and the others had no clue, and had no idea where to start. However, Big Cat believed that even this detail must be followed according to the fortune teller's instructions. Taking this crystal was equivalent to his agreement.
Divination is such a superstitious thing.
As a man, there are some things that you cannot compromise on.
"Just follow your mother-in-law's instructions. This is not just your problem." Rosetta said in a more serious tone. This was no longer a request, but an order.
The big cat then realized that if Gengunir was lost, it would be equivalent to losing the Heart of Africa hidden inside Gengunir. And this ruby Heart of Africa may be what Daddy Sphinx used.
One of the important raw materials for manufacturing some kind of weapons of mass destruction, if the gem falls into the hands of the Sphinx, tens of millions of people may die as a result.
Palamedes knew that as a man, there were some things that he could not compromise on. But that was only when the scope of influence was limited to him alone. If countless people died because of his stupid stubbornness, he would be held responsible.
It was much heavier. Paramedes had to lower his head and compromise on things that he could not compromise on originally. What if his actions could prevent millions of deaths and make him superstitious for a while?
The big cat let out a long sigh and did something he was extremely unwilling to do against his will. He picked up a small crystal stone from the table.
