Mirror Divination Method

After asking for directions, Alicia drove the carriage towards the branch of the Adventurer's Guild in this small town.

Because the streets were narrow, the carriage moved very slowly. It often had to back up and find a new route when a street was impassable.

In short, driving a carriage in this town was a terrible experience.

There were no proper roads in this town; they were all paths made by people walking, barely qualifying as half-rammed earth roads.

On the carriage, the Old Witch suddenly brought up divination.

"Your Highness, do you know that every wizard and witch must learn divination?"

Yveta shook his head. "I don't know, why is that?"

"Because it's one of the three conditions for advancing to an official witch or an official wizard," the Old Witch chuckled. She wasn't skilled in many divination methods, and most were not to the taste of normal people. Her apprentice was the one truly skilled in divination.

Her apprentice's divination skills were so strong that she could even attract a Viscount with them!

The reason she brought up divination was simply to urge Yveta to go to Ambrose faster.

Yveta's eyes sharpened.

So, a Wizard Apprentice needed to learn divination to become an official wizard?

This reminded him of how the old Taoist priests on the mountains in his previous life knew some fortune-telling.

The Old Witch chuckled, "For ordinary Wizard Apprentices and witch apprentices, this information might require them to work for me for 20 to 30 years for free before they could find out."

"It also depends on whether Heaven is in a good mood that day."

"If I'm in an extremely bad mood, I might even add some false information to mislead them."

The Old Witch suddenly remembered something and smiled eerily. "I once told a female apprentice I disliked that if she wanted to become an official witch, she had to swallow ten thousand loaches alive. That fool actually believed me and only realized the truth after swallowing over three thousand loaches in four months."

"But in the end, she was just a witch apprentice because I forgot to tell her that advancing to an official witch required learning divination."

Black Wolf and Leili both moved a little further away from her.

They regretted it. They should have brought two carriages. They and the witch really seemed to be from different worlds.

This woman was too terrifying.

No wonder she suspected her teacher had deceived her, because this was exactly what she herself had done.

A wicked person, because they are too cruel to others, finds it hard to believe in genuine kindness.

Yveta ignored the Old Witch's boasting about her wicked deeds; he cared more about something else. "Then, your beloved disciple... why did you tell her the true advancement method?"

The Old Witch suddenly fell silent, then said, "That is the thing I regret most in my life."

"I was too young, too soft-hearted back then."

"I wasn't mature enough, not wicked enough."

So, is there any connection between maturity and wickedness?

Black Wolf and Leili thought, rolling their eyes.

Yveta was also speechless.

But the problem was that the Old Witch seemed to consider the Demon God her confidant, and she also spoke of other wicked things she had done.

Yveta coughed, his tone becoming slightly stern. "So, why is divination the key to advancing to an official wizard?"

"Remember, do not add any extra or useless information."

Hearthstone Great Witch found herself getting carried away. "Yes, Your Majesty, I swear on my professional reputation that I will never deceive you."

"The reason for cultivating divination is that advancing to an official wizard requires spiritual progress and change."

"Divination can cause the souls of Wizard Apprentices to produce a unique Gnostic Mist."

"This special soul structure of Gnostic Mist, even gods and you do not possess. Therefore, it's normal that you don't know."

Yveta nodded, understanding but not fully. "Then what divination methods do you know?"

The Old Witch said, "I don't know many divination methods. When I was studying with my teacher, I didn't pay much attention to learning divination."

"Because even Great Witch-level divination spells cannot accurately predict the outcome, with an accuracy rate of only 30%."

"And this is only the ideal result without external interference. The time, location, the diviner's identity, and the place where I perform the divination all affect its accuracy."

"Divination, you see, is somewhat like metaphysics, do you understand?"

"Sometimes, when a person is in a good mood, the divination results are more accurate, so I didn't study it seriously back then."

"Oh, if the divination was accurate, the result I divined clearly indicated success. Who would have thought you would appear at that Manor."

The Old Witch muttered dejectedly, and then said to Yveta, "I only know three divination spells."

"Viscera Divination."

"Toad Divination."

"Mirror Divination Method."

"But my apprentice really likes this field. I heard she has collected at least dozens of divination-related spells, even delaying her cultivation in magic for it."

Yveta ignored the expectation in the Old Witch's eyes, which clearly conveyed "Let's go find my disciple."

Although he wasn't sure what the Old Witch was planning, he didn't need to be led by her to Ambrose right now.

"Introduce me to the three divination methods you know," Yveta said. "Since I have you as a resource, there's no need for me to look elsewhere."

"It's fine if there are fewer types."

"I only need to learn one anyway."

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

He didn't need to be greedy for more.

The Old Witch's expression changed slightly. She quickly recovered her smile, but it was clearly not a happy one. "Your Majesty, Viscera Divination uses animal entrails for divination. This method can determine the outcome of events, making it suitable for warfare or for dealing with enemies on the brink of life and death. However, it's not very effective for trivial matters, wealth, or luck."

"Toad Divination is a method that uses toads for divination. It's best for finding directions. If you're looking for treasure, you might consider learning it, though toads are rather disgusting."

"Mirror Divination Method involves capturing a ghost in a mirror and, through Devil magic, granting it vast knowledge for divination. This method is the most comprehensive, but because it can be applied to anything, it often provides many incorrect answers."

"Some of these incorrect answers can even lead you to your death. Basically, no witch would choose this Devil magic."

Just as Yveta was about to speak, the carriage suddenly stopped. The maid Alicia said, "My lords, there's a brawl up ahead."

"We'll have to go around."

Suddenly, the carriage roof was smashed open, and a blood-covered person fell inside.

Voices from the onlookers could be heard outside.

"Is it worth it? These are just small matters."

A crow landed on the carriage. One of its eyes was black, and the other was blood-red.

The blood-red eye stared fixedly at Yveta.

Then, it flapped its wings and flew away.

Leili and Black Wolf had already drawn their swords, as they suspected that this disturbance might have been caused by the Little Brotherhood of Faith or the Boar Knight Order.
