54 The First Divination Requester (2/2)
Klein held the silver chain with his left hand and allowed the topaz to hang above the Sibe black tea, just short of touching the surface of the liquid.
With a serene expression, he half-closed his eyes and the atmosphere around him suddenly turned quiet.
The topaz started moving slightly, along with the special looking silver chain, in a clockwise direction.
Upon seeing this, Angelica found Mr. Moretti extremely mysterious.
”The black tea you provide is great,” Klein said softly after he opened his eyes with a smile.
His actions were intentionally done for Angelica to see!
If he wanted people to select him for his divination services, Angelica's recommendation was a very crucial factor!
Since he wanted to act as a Seer, Klein no longer had any reservations. He completely personified the identity.
”Yes, Mr. Vannas is very picky about the quality of tea,” Angelica said, stunned.
Klein put away his spirit pendulum by winding it properly. Then, he raised the white porcelain cup with floral design. With a smile, he gestured politely at her with his cup.
...
Angelica returned to the reception hall, but she no longer had the mood to read magazines. She sat there, gazing into the distance. It was a wonder what she was thinking about.
This continued until there were knocks on the door. She jolted awake and hurriedly looked at the entrance, only to see a lady dressed in a light-blue dress.
The lady took off her veiled hat with a powder blue ribbon. She looked calm and melancholic.
”Good afternoon, esteemed lady. Would you like to join the Divination Club, or are you looking for a divination?” Angelica asked like clockwork.
”I want a divination.” The lady had a beautiful pair of eyes hidden with sorrow, and she bit her lower lip as she spoke.
Angelica guided her to the sofa and explained to her how the Divination Club worked in detail.
She picked up an album and handed it over.
”You can pick anyone.”
In her low spirits, the lady flipped through the album seriously. As there were too many club members there that day, there were too many choices. It left her quite upset.
”Can you recommend one? From these few pages.” She pointed at the middle section of the album, omitting the fortune-tellers priced above two soli and those below four pence.
Angelica took the album and looked at it for a few minutes. She deliberated her words before saying, ”I suggest this gentleman.”
The lady who looked uneasy took a glance and realized that it was a fortune-teller named ”Klein Moretti.”
”Mr. Moretti just joined the club... Is his divination reliable?” she asked worriedly.
Angelica nodded with great affirmation.
”Another member of the club and I are certain that Mr. Moretti is an outstanding fortune-teller. If it wasn't for his just joining the club, he wouldn't take such low fees.”
”I understand.” The depressed girl nodded. ”I'll pick Mr. Moretti for a divination then.”
”Alright, please hold on for a second.” Angelica took the album and walked towards the meeting room.
She came next to Klein and said with a suppressed voice, ”Mr. Moretti, someone wants you to divine for them. Which room would you like to use?”
That was effective. My first ”business” is here. Klein put down his teacup and nodded calmly as he said, ”Topaz room.”
”Alright.” Angelica walked slowly ahead of him and led him to Topaz room before opening its wooden door.
Klein sat behind the table that had various divination tools on it. He waited less than a minute before he saw a woman in a light-blue dress walk in. She looked down and melancholic.
Seizing the opportunity when she was closing the door, he tapped his glabella twice.
The yellow color in her stomach seems a little dull... The dark color of her emotions is very heavy, mainly worry and anxiety. Klein looked her over carefully and leaned backwards. He then lifted his hand to cut off his Spiritual Vision.
”Good day, Mr. Moretti.” The woman in the light-blue dress sat down.
”Good afternoon, how may I address you?” Klein asked politely, not carrying much hope of getting an answer.
As a keyboard warrior, he knew that many people were not willing to use their real names during divination.
”You can call me Anna.” The girl put her veiled cap aside. She looked at Klein with mixed anticipation and doubt, and said, ”I would like to divine about my fiancé's situation. He traveled to the Southern Continent in March for a business deal. He sent me and his family a telegram last month on the third, saying that he was going to set sail and return. But he did not return after twenty days. At first, I believed that his delay was due to the Berserk Ocean's weather, but as of today, it has been more than a month. The ship he took, the Alfalfa, still hasn't arrived at Enmat Harbor.”
The ocean that separated the Northern and Southern continent was called the Berserk Ocean. It was well known for natural calamities and its countless dangerous currents. If it was not for Emperor Roselle, who sent men to discover a few safer sailing routes, countries in the Northern Continent would still have yet to enter the age of colonization, let alone lay an underwater cable to complete a transoceanic telegraph.
Klein looked at his very first client of his career as a Seer and asked carefully, ”Which divination method do you wish to use?”
