LOM: Lord of Mysticism

Klein took a public carriage to the Divination Club.

He entered and saw Angelica. At a glance, she looked better than before.

Glacis was reading some information on the table with his monocle. "Good afternoon, Mr. Moretti. I have been wondering if you would come today.

I heard from Angelica that you are not a doctor, but a fortune-teller."

Klein smiled. "You no longer seem plagued by your ailment." He noticed that Glacis's health colors had returned to normal.

"Yes, I was very regretful for not taking your suggestion back then. Luckily, there is a very amazing apothecary near my place who gave my wife a very magical medicine." Glacis said emotionally.

Klein asked out of interest, "Very amazing apothecary? Very magical medicine?"

"He said that it was a kind of folk medicine from Lenburg. In short, it helped with treating my illness a lot," Glacis answered.

"What's his name? Where does he stay? Perhaps I will need to purchase some medication from him in the future."

"His name is Lawson Darkwade. He has a small store at 18 Vlad Street in East Borough, named Lawson's Folk Herb Store." Glacis answered.

"Thank you." Klein said.

Glacis invited him to sit beside him. "Mr. Moretti, can I request a divination from you? I will pay according to the price you set."

"Eight pence is sufficient. I will not raise the price out of the blue. Do you need a divination room?"

"Alright. Topaz." Glacis led the way.

Klein sat behind the long table. "Mr. Glacis, what would you like the divination to be about?"

"I have an investment opportunity, but the amount of money it involves is huge. I wish to know if it will be a successful investment." Glacis said.

Klein thought and asked, "It'd be great if you could describe the entire situation once more. It'd be best if you had the other party's information, too. We will do Astrolabe divination."

"Alright." Glacis organized his words. "When Mister Lanevus examined the Hornacis mountain range, he discovered a gigantic mine rich in high-quality iron ore. He poured in all his savings to buy that land and hired a professional company to survey it. He lacks funds needed for subsequent developments."

"Are you sure there's nothing wrong with this? Is Lanevus trustworthy?" Klein asked.

"I've seen his property papers and the inspection report. There is the Sivellaus County government's stamp and an endorsement of a professional company." Glacis nodded.

Klein picked up a pen and drew a corresponding astrolabe according to the crucial time and information that Glacis had provided. After a long while, he pointed to the astrolabe. "You should be able to tell that this will be a very unsuccessful endeavor. Below the flourishing surface is a cliff, a chasm. My divination suggests going around it."

"I'll consider it carefully when I'm back." Glacis said.

Klein could only shake his head with a silent sigh, realizing the helplessness of a Seer.

A Seer could only give suggestions and not make the decision for others.

Just as the two left the Topaz room, Angelica walked over. "Mr. Moretti, someone wishes for your divination."

She then added with a whisper, "He did not ask for my recommendations. Nor did he view the album."

Has my reputation spread? Klein turned towards the reception hall.
