Am I a god-tier talent in all my professions?

Chapter 86 Active Divination
"I go first."

Izzy left in a hurry this time.

Lu Cang finally learned about Pali's true identity.

A level 6 fortune teller.

It turns out that when Izzy said she was looking for that friend, she was actually planning to find Parly, have her find Messer, and then get rid of him.

Under normal circumstances, finding Messer would not be easy.

Because there are no objects strongly associated with him.

Even fortune tellers were at a loss.

But now, Lu Cang has a note written by Messer himself, which still contains his Root Magic.

The connection between them is extremely strong.

This provided a channel for divination.

It seems that if I don't want to be easily found in the future, I should try my best to prevent things that are too closely related to me from falling into the hands of others.

No, she shouldn't be called Parly anymore; her real name should be Beatrice.

However, I thought you were with Messer.

Lu Cang was about to speak.

"Just call me Parly, that's the name I use now. I'm not with anyone."

"Even if lower-level diviners have some selfish motives, diviners at my level will definitely be neutral."

"Those who know destiny can only be spectators of destiny. If they enter the arena, like the fluttering of a butterfly's wings, the known becomes the unknown."

But isn't it disadvantageous for Messer that you helped Izzy find him?
Lu Cang thought to himself, and was just about to ask.

Parly, however, said, "His being found was simply his original destiny."

Lu Cang pondered, thinking: If it weren't for you, how would Messer have been found?
But before she could speak, Parly said, "The fortune teller is not someone who is outside of fate."

"We are also part of the world."

I have to admit, what she said was really pretentious.

They're all riddles.

So, you can know everything I want to say?
Lu Cang still didn't say it.

Parly said, "I'll only know if you're willing to tell me."

It's so convenient not having to speak.

Lu Cang was about to say: If I ask you to do a divination, will you tell me the answer?
Parly: "I won't refuse anyone's fortune telling, as long as you can afford it."

Lu Cang: "When will I become a level 3 mage?"

"5000 gold coins."

"..."

Forget it, it's too expensive, and knowing the time won't make much difference anyway.

What will be my next career choice?

"5000 gold coins."

……

Lu Cang's lips twitched. "You were talking to me about beast tides and secret scrolls back then, but I never saw you take any money."

"Row."

Lu Cang gave him 5000 gold coins.

Parly replied, "A decryption scholar."

I instantly felt like I'd wasted my money.

Now I finally understand why fortune tellers are so annoying.

"What will happen if I insist on not switching to a cryptography scholar?" Lu Cang asked.

"Then I made a mistake in my divination."

……

For a moment, I felt speechless.

I was initially thinking that the other person would bring up some theories about fate and destiny.

The result I got was... a wrong divination?
"Will you refund the money?"

Parly: "No refund."

Fortune teller... that profession is truly despicable.

"Do you want to ask something meaningful?"

Lu Cang nodded.

Knowing the exact answer to something isn't as meaningless as you might think.

Lu Cang certainly understood this principle.

After deciding that I would be switching careers to become a cryptographer, I did have many more questions in my mind, such as why Messer would prepare these things for me.

but……

I still feel like I lost out.

"Would you like to ask about your future?"

"Or...your hometown."

thump--

Pali's words struck a chord with Lu Cang.

hometown……

"Can I ask this?"

"Of course... but the price won't be the same for your hometown."

"How many?"

Parly replied, "15 billion gold coins." Are you kidding me?

Do you think I'm playing you?

Parly replied calmly, "This is the price to pay for knowing one's own destiny... in other words, the cost."

Lu Cang thought about his question carefully.

Indeed, I have many questions about this world, but upon closer reflection, I realize there's really nothing worth asking.

If I had to say, she probably wouldn't be able to answer the questions I wanted to know about the root cause.

And even if they could answer it, it would probably be extremely expensive.

Finally, Lu Cang asked the question that concerned him the most.

"Why is Mercedes looking for me?"

"fifty thousand."

Your mother...

Is it easy for me to make money?
This made Lu Cang want to switch careers to become a fortune teller. He could just sit here all day doing nothing and talk away, and money would roll in.

He can talk about 50 million or 50,000 in one go.

Lu Cang suddenly remembered what Luo Si had said: it costs 10,000 gold coins to learn proper divination techniques.

Now we realize... it's expensive, and there's a reason for that.

They don't have to risk fighting; money just comes out of their mouths.

What's even more absurd is that they don't refund your money if the divination is wrong! Is that reasonable?!

Will Izzy get these answers when she goes after Messer?
Not necessarily... Even if you kill Messer, he might not tell Iz the truth.

However, Iz might also possess some magic capable of uncovering the truth.

But... this is a fortune teller, an old acquaintance of Iz's, who claims to be "neutral".

It is indeed easier to answer the real question.

"I'll probably be traveling to another city soon, so you might not be able to find me again."

Upon hearing the other party's explanation, Lu Cang's eyelids twitched.

Are you a dog?
They're even using the scarcity marketing tactic.

You don't seem like someone who's supposed to be a spectator of fate at all; you seem like a fortune teller charlatan.

“Fifty thousand…” Lu Cang handed over the ring.

Heart is bleeding.

I made a killing at the magic item shop this morning, but I never expected it would be given away in this way.

Parly accepted the money and even inspected the goods.

Then, she said in a comforting tone, "Don't be sad, your money hasn't disappeared, it's just been moved to another form to accompany you."

"Tell me the answer." Lu Cang didn't want to hear her words of comfort.

Without using any divination methods, Parly simply replied, "Messer's time is running out."

"His path has come to an end,"

"He wanted to find someone to carry on his legacy, so he chose you."

Lu Cang frowned: "Would this heinous criminal really be so kind?"

Paris shook her head: "You've got one thing wrong. He didn't kill for the sake of killing, but to find the root of the problem."

"If indiscriminate killing could lead to the root of the problem, the world would have been in chaos long ago."

"If you're going to pass on the tradition, why come to me instead of Izzy?"

"Iz's magical talent is widely recognized as the strongest."

Paris said slowly, "Who said... he didn't plan to look for one?"

These words jolted Lu Cang awake.

Lu Cang looked towards the northwest.

"This is only worth 5 gold coins?"

"Isn't it worth it?"

Lu Cang was speechless.

In fact, this was only the fortune teller's side of the story, and Lu Cang had no way of judging its truthfulness.

No wonder Iz said it's best to ignore the fortune teller's words.

"I also want to know what channels I can use to make money quickly."

"And a way to obtain a large number of monster souls."

Paris paused for a moment, then replied, "I can answer both of these questions for free."

Lu Cang asked with a hint of doubt, "Didn't you say that divination is the price of fate?"

"These are matters for scholars; there's no need for divination. Consider this a bonus from the divination you just did."

Oh... she's not only a fortune teller, but also a scholar.

"In terms of making money, there is currently no more suitable channel for you than running dungeons."

“I think you should have a better grasp of this than I do.”

"Regarding matters of the soul, in the remote Thousand Caves on the east side of the City in the Circle, a large number of ant-like demons are often born."

Lu Cang: "By the way, since you can't interfere with fate, why did you tell me about the demons in the first place?"

Pali looked up: "Scholars who see such celestial phenomena naturally know that monsters are coming."

"As for the reminder that followed, didn't you ask me about that?"

"If you ask me, I can do a divination for you. It's a small matter like predicting good or bad fortune, so there's no need to charge for it."
