The goddess holds a scepter and travels through the Ouroboros.

This is the picture described by the 21st Major Arcana ‘World’ of the Tarot. Ouroboros means eternity and the world. The goddess holding a scepter is considered truth by most wizards.

This is not the point - even the magicians from the North District of Beta Town can explain it in a coherent manner for half an hour, and many magicians enjoy similar activities endlessly.

After all, this is one of the few magical topics that magicians can discuss with real wizards.

The key point is that the ‘World’ that the Gypsy Witch turned out is a reversed card, and Zheng Qing’s codename in the ‘Wand’ happens to be ‘The World’.

There is no worse outcome than this.

For a moment, Zheng Qing regretted carrying out this divination casually. For most wizards, it is ridiculous to place their hopes on a few cards, a wisp of smoke or a crystal ball. But if the divination actually comes to a bad conclusion, no wizard will turn a blind eye.

This is also the reason why many old-school wizards reject divination - if you don't look at it, you won't make changes, and it doesn't matter what the destiny is.

Immediately, the young public-funded student noticed that the gypsy witch looked more uneasy than him, and a warmth suddenly surged in his heart.

"It seems that the Magic Wand used my name for divination before releasing this year's Arcana list."

The boy took the card jokingly and turned it over between his fingers:

"Let me think about it... Well, reversed 'world' means lack of preparation, giving up halfway, emotional immaturity, and failure. I remember the doctor once analyzed that the reversed 'world' is actually a salty road. Fish live a life of passability, ease and lack of motivation.”

"Very interesting insight." The witch forced a smile, but there was still a trace of worry on her face. There is no doubt that she has reached a disastrous conclusion, which is not changed by a witty insight.

But Zheng Qing didn't think so.

He turned the cards in his hand upside down and placed them in front of the witch again.

"Look, my reverse position, your upright position."

The boy clicked the cards on the table with some show-off, and emphasized: "As the old saying goes, good fortune and misfortune depend on each other, and fate is always playing with a yin and yang fish. You stand on the bridge and look at the scenery. People are watching you under the bridge.”

"Upright or reversed, it depends on the angle you look at the card."

"From my perspective, it is a reversed card, which is the result of lack of preparation and failure; but from your perspective, this is an upright card, and you will succeed and have a perfect ending."

"How do you know that the question I just divined is the one I mentioned before?"

"Really?" The witch seemed to grasp a glimmer of hope and her eyes lit up.

The boy held his head in his hands and leaned back slightly, with a relaxed smile on his face: "I can't tell you this... Divination says, you can't tell, you can't tell."

While the two young wizards and witches were hiding in the corner of the classroom, using tarot cards for divination, in the ruins of the school temple deep in the Silent Forest, two mice were facing each other, calculating their future.

"You've dealt cards three times, haven't you figured out the answer to the question yet?" The Mouse Immortal was leaning on a high-backed chair, with his two calves hanging on the edge of the chair. His tone was a little impatient: "Divinate a question three times. No more effective than placebo."

Theoretically, the same issue can only be divined once, and only the conclusion of the first divination is valid.

"I asked different questions these three times!"

Fei Rui did not sit on the futon. He stood up and wandered among several cards. Finally, he picked up the smoothest card and turned it over: "In the right position, the world... Damn it, it's the world again! Why is it always the world! "

At this moment, they were staying in a large, empty room, surrounded by carved railings and painted buildings, but there was no furniture. There was only a futon and a high-backed chair, and a stack of tarot cards between the futon and the chair. .

None of the Rat Immortal's red-vested attendants were around it.

In the evening, the gray sky filtered through the glass window into the empty room, reflecting on the faces of the two mice, which looked equally gloomy and gray.

The Mouse Immortal drooped his beard and said with a sigh: "The world...the twenty-one card is the beginning and end of time, the origin and destruction of the world, and the last number in the world. It represents a A perfect summary, it also represents infinite possibilities. In the face of the previous ‘trial’, the world has been resowed.”

"The first time you turned over the reversed 'World'... what was your first question?"

Fei Rui held the tarot cards and sat slumped on the futon, his eyes a little dull: "I want to ask if the old guy is still there."

"The answer is pessimistic." Mouse Immortal commented: "From your perspective, the pessimistic conclusion means that the unknown principal is still there. But at the same time, the reversed world also represents the 'end of a past', so you don't need to I continue to struggle with this issue. What about the second question? It’s still a reversed world.”

"I think so too." After hearing the explanation from the Rat Immortal, Fei Rui finally seemed to have some courage and cheered up a little: "Second question, I want to ask whether our plan can succeed."

"This depends on both the scope of your 'plan' and your definition of 'success'." The Rat Immortal was obviously not satisfied with Fei Rui's second question: "If you finally master the forbidden spell, seize Xuanhuangguo and defeating the First University are within the scope of the 'plan'. Even the magicians in the North District will laugh at you. The divination results did not deceive you...you can obviously ask clearer questions."

Fei Rui scratched his paws and sighed deeply.

"What about the third question?" The Rat Immortal also breathed a sigh of relief and continued to ask.

"The key to our success this time." Fei Rui muttered, holding the tarot card in his arms that was slightly larger than his body, turning it over and over.

A smile finally appeared on the Rat Immortal's chubby pointed face:

"'The last card of the big card, the world means that my own world has taken shape, and the harvest of the journey has been completed in the last stage, forming a world of my own, completing the fool's task, and reaching an end point' - this It is the interpretation of the meaning of the 'World' card in "Tarot Cards", and I think it is most appropriate to use it here. "

"What should I say?" Fei Rui raised his head blankly.

"Who is the Fool?" asked the Rat Immortal.

Fei Rui was suddenly enlightened and then pondered.

In the Arcana list published by "Magic Wand", every year and every issue, there are always changes in the list of people on the list in one way or another. Only the ‘Fool’, who is the first in the ranking, always belongs to the president of the first university. l0ns3v3
