Stars for the good Warhammer
Chapter 153 Emperor Tarot
Gradually, everything around her returned to silence.
When Mia's consciousness began to flicker again from the void, the first thing she felt was cold.
It was as if her soul was pulled out of her body and immersed in the cold sea water.
Under the cover of chaos, she seemed to hear whispers in her ears for a long time.
Although she couldn't see anything, Mia could feel the strange sights from all directions by intuition.
In the darkness, some incomprehensible existence was examining and arguing fiercely about everything about herself.

After an unknown amount of time, as her body's senses gradually recovered, the voices lingering in her ears began to become more and more blurred.
In a trance, Mia opened her eyes with a little difficulty, and then she saw that the dark space appeared in front of her.
The air was filled with the smell of moldy paper. It felt like being in an old library. As the corner of her eyes drifted inadvertently, she saw a heavy rain pouring down outside the colorful window near the bookcase. This was rare for the drought-scarce Aldolf.
An oil lamp placed in front of the windowsill was emitting a faint light, and the flickering candlelight was swaying gently with the rhythm of raindrops hitting the glass. Gradually, Mia touched the slightly damp blanket covering her body.
This seemed to be someone's bedroom?
While thinking, she set her eyes back to the room. With the help of the faint light in the room, she looked around and saw that in this small space, there were books stuffed everywhere and bound scrolls everywhere.
The large bookcase was already full, and some books that could not be put in were even piled up on the floor in the corner quite casually. It was no exaggeration to say that this was a mountain of books.
In the center of the room, a skinny old man wearing a hood was sitting at the table, facing her direction. The dim light made it difficult for her to see his face.
"Who are you?"
"Why am I here?"
As she spoke, Mia sat up from the hard bed with a mattress, and as the blanket was lifted, she found that her dirty shirt was gone. Someone had bandaged her wound and changed her into a clean long dress.
For Mia's questions, the old man sitting at the table did not rush to answer anything. He just picked up a card with a golden background that was as exquisite as a work of art from the six cards placed on the table.
Mia recognized those things. They were a kind of divination prop that was extremely popular in the Imperial Inquisition and even the think tank of the Space Marines. It is said that the emperor himself created this divination system, so it is generally called the emperor tarot.
Once, at the request of her mentor Latifa, she even followed a famous fortune teller to learn how to use this set of cards.
As the three-card array was assembled, after revealing the bottom of the cards one by one, as if seeing something interesting, the old man sitting in the middle of the room gradually laughed, and the hoarse voice was like an old crow.
Such a situation naturally attracted Mia's attention.
Not long after, under her blank gaze, the old man first grabbed the golden pocket watch on the table, and after carefully examining it for a moment, he came to her side slowly.
"Long time no see, Miss Mia."
Mia was stunned for a moment when she heard this voice, and then the old man took off his hood under her gaze, showing his old but shrewd face in front of the girl.
"Is it you?"
At this moment, she couldn't help but widen her eyes, because the old man in front of her was actually the owner of the pocket watch, Elobas Hillman.
It was also her primary goal on this trip. If it weren't for Teacher Latifa's mention that the old judge was living in seclusion here, she would never risk her life to come to Altdorf.
Mia thought it would be a very long journey
"The train you took encountered some accidents and derailed on the way, and I happened to be nearby at the time."
At this moment, Mia couldn't believe her ears. There were such coincidences in the world. It was as if someone had arranged everything in secret.
However, she didn't care about much at this time. As if she had grasped the last hope, she jumped up from the bed and began to try to explain excitedly.
"Lord Elobas, about my mentor's matter"
Before Mia could finish her words.
"I have heard all about your affairs, and I feel deeply sympathetic for Latifa's experience."
At this point, Elobas paused, and this made Mia's heart instantly rise to her throat. While looking at the other party, her hands couldn't help but clench the hem of her skirt.
The short two seconds seemed like a few centuries, and then the old judge continued to speak.
"But I believe there must be something else behind this matter, and I believe you must be innocent."
As the words fell, the old man began to look at the girl in front of him with an intriguing look.
Hearing that the other party was willing to believe her, Mia was almost crying at this moment. However, before she could express anything, she saw old Elobas holding his hands behind his back, as if he was sizing up something, walking around the place. The girl standing beside the bed turned around half a circle.
Immediately afterwards, the other party shook his head in disappointment, and then said in a slightly regretful tone.
"It's a pity that you haven't learned how to effectively use your talent."
"My. talent?"
The old man's words made Mia feel a little confused.
Because if he understands correctly, what the other party is referring to is the special psychic talent he possesses that can see through and touch the essence of the target subspace.
As an expert with professional research in psychic classification and subspace knowledge, whenever other inquisitors encounter any problems related to subspace, they will always discuss it with them.
For example, in the early years, his mentor Latifah had a long communication with him regarding his ability.
"But you once warned that this ability has too many uncertain factors and should not be used lightly unless necessary."
To this day, Mia can still clearly remember that when she first learned about her ability, the old man in front of her was shocked.
In the eyes of the other party, this is an extremely dangerous ability, both for the user and others around him.
Once out of control, the consequences will be disastrous.
But why.
Now the other party's attitude has changed so much.
