Chapter 134 Hardcore Prophecy(2/3)
We just decided on the prophet yesterday afternoon and started promoting it in the evening.
In less than 24 hours, advertising posters were plastered all over the nearest neighborhoods.
On the trams running through the city, the platform signs have also been changed into the shape of Gu Chi.
Even the small cards in many hotels have the words "Approach the Mystery" printed on them. The pattern is Gu Chi's mask. The eyes under the mask have magical special effects and can blink. The guests must have gone to the front desk in the middle of the night to inquire about special services and found out that it was
You will be pleasantly surprised when the special service is a prophecy instead of a call girl.
The place of divination was originally located in the church.
On the grounds that "nature is mysterious, being close to nature means being close to mystery", Gu Chi used a little hypnosis and successfully persuaded the church to change the venue to his own garden.
Working from home is more comfortable.
Mainly because he couldn't calculate a few hexagrams and was too lazy to make a special trip to Iris Church.
Gu Chi asked the maids to clean the garden early and prepare a place - this was laid out according to the "four most suitable scenes for fortune-telling" recorded in the book in Charles' suitcase. The grass was paved. Many white petals, solemn and solemn, only a black and white photo and a few wreaths are needed to deliver a eulogy.
A table was set up in the venue, and on the table were tarot cards, a crystal ball, a magic compass, a manual, and a Holy Grail.
The Holy Grail is said to be used to hold the mysterious blood of the prophet when making "great prophecies". It is a kind of sacrificial method and is not used under normal circumstances, so it is usually used to hold gold coins.
These are all divination supplies found from Charles, and Gu Chi has basically figured out their uses.
At two o'clock sharp, Gu Chi, wearing a prophet's mask, arrived on time.
Under the guidance of the maid, there were already many people waiting in the garden.
Xia Ling, dressed as a maid, lowered her head slightly and followed Gu Chi silently.
Gu Chi sat down, and she stood aside, keeping a distance that would not disturb Gu Chi's spellcasting, but also allow her to arrive in time or change positions.
She wears a pair of white gauze gloves on her hands and an iris flower tied around her wrist - this is a sign that the maid can use magic, which means that she is not only Gu Chi's maid, but also Gu Chi's bodyguard, combined with her courtesy and quietness His performance made him look particularly professional in the eyes of everyone.
It elevated Gu Chi's status as a prophet.
"There's also a mask. I'm afraid he's a real prophet this time."
"With a magic maid as an attendant, the cards alone are not comparable to those of Orric's prophets."
"Hey, you can't say that. The dead are great, and the dead are great."
"Is it possible that he is pretending to be mysterious?"
Everyone formed a half circle at the entrance of the venue and discussed in low voices.
There are eight prophets like Zhu Yu, but now few people actually believe in prophecy.
Prophecy magic itself is also the most difficult to master among all magics - it is easy to learn, but whether it is accurate or not is another matter.
Anyway, they have never seen anyone predict correctly. They are wrong nine times out of ten. The only time they are right may be luck.
After all, I have made so many mistakes. Even if I am really capable this last time, I will be regarded as a blind cat and a dead rat.
They just had nothing to do, so they came over to join in the fun. After chatting for a long time, no one came up to ask Gu Chi for a divination.
Gu Chi was not in a hurry, so he had some time to relax with his eyes closed.
In fact, as long as he takes off his mask, some discerning ladies or noble ladies will definitely come to him and tell him whether it is accurate or not.
Maybe we'll even invite him to do some door-to-door service.
But Gu Chi didn't want to do this.
You can obviously make a living by your talent, so why should you rely on your face?
As an elegant and hard-core prophet, I must not engage in any soliciting behavior.
Love comes and comes, but love doesn't come and pull you down.
He will not lower himself.
Perhaps feeling the noble temperament exuding from him, an old man with a pipe in his mouth and a cowboy hat walked out.
"If you don't go, then I'll do it."
Generally, when asking a fortune teller to speak, you must first pay a silver coin, which is polite and sincere, and then the reward will be paid according to the content of the divination.
The exact amount is determined by the prophet.
It can be seen from this point that the status of a prophet is actually very high. You pay first and then predict. Even some veteran prophets in the past had all kinds of weird requirements. If they cannot fulfill his conditions, he will not
I predict for you that there are many people looking for him, one more is not too many, one less is not enough.
However, after being disturbed by those eight false prophets, the method of paying first and divination later gradually turned into divination first and pay later, usually with the added sentence "no money required".
Specializes in deceiving people's "politeness".
If Gu Chi's prediction is inaccurate, he only has to pay one silver coin, which is just a meal of inferior steak. He can still afford this small amount of money for entertainment.
The old cowboy walked to the table, took off his hat and saluted, put a silver coin into the Holy Grail, and said casually: "Dear Mr. Prophet, I would like to know who was convicted of serial murders a month ago.
How long will it take for Redecker, the murderer who was sentenced to death, to be executed?"
It posed a problem for Gu Chi as soon as he came up.
Redeker's factors are very complicated. Firstly, he is related. Secondly, there is a possibility of escaping from prison. Thirdly, the final trial has not yet been held.
With the Iris Church's papal laws full of idealism, it's hard to say whether the sentence will be changed in the end, and even if it is, it may not be implemented.
Without any real ability, it is impossible to divine.
Gu Chi opened his eyes: "This matter has nothing to do with you. Are you sure you want to ask this?"
The old cowboy grinned, showing his big white teeth: "Sure, let's ask Mr. Prophet to divine."
Gu Chi: "Ten gold coins."
Old Cowboy: "Okay."
Gu Chi closed his eyes.
I saw the crystal ball in the box suddenly floated, lit up with a faint purple light, flickering on and off, as if the goddess of fate was blinking.
Then, he stretched out his right hand, put it on the ball, and stroked it gently with a gentle and skillful technique.
When everyone saw this, they subconsciously held their breath and did not disturb Gu Chi.
Not to mention anything else, this hand alone is much better than those fakes. The crystal ball floated up on its own without even moving its hand.
Xia Ling's cheeks quietly turned red.
Why does Gu Chi's technique feel so familiar to her?
Half a minute later.
Gu Chi finished the divination and gave the answer: "The death penalty does not need to be executed."
The old cowboy was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean?"
Gu Chi: "He will die tonight."
Old cowboy: "?"
The crowd below was immediately in an uproar and started talking one after another.
"Is he kidding?"
"The time is fixed, why is it so wild?"
"Isn't it difficult to understand what prophets say? Why did I understand it this time?"
"I think he seems very serious..."
This is the function of the mask. No one can see Gu Chi's expression. As long as the tone is right, everything he says will appear true.
The old cowboy glanced at Gu Chi and said, "I'll come back tomorrow."
If the prediction succeeds, he will give money; if the prediction fails, he will laugh.
Gu Chi didn't respond, closed his eyes again, and continued to be a noble and beautiful man.
Soon two more people came up.
This is the case in this era. The lower your posture, the more disgusted others may be. On the contrary, if you show off enough - even if you are just pretending, others will believe you first.
The second person who came for divination was a farmer: "I want to know when I can see my wife again."
"Is she missing?" Gu Chi asked.
Farmer: "She died."
Everyone: "..."
Gu Chi: "..."
How about I send you to see her now?
After another thirty seconds of touching the ball and casting the spell, Gu Chi said: "Tonight."
Everyone: "?"
Tonight again?
To be continued...
