Golden Summoner

"These newspapers should pay me wages..." Xia Pingan, who was holding the newspaper, muttered. The benefits of the newspaper may not be available, but yesterday Mr. Coin gave him a perfect fusion of the Jiezhu, which added 24 to him. Points of divine power and the upper limit of divine power, so his current available divine power has changed from 678 points to 702 points.

Having said that, Xia Pingan lightly touched the top of his head again, and said softly to himself, "It would be great if I had a few more Boundary Beads..." He is now a first-level 57-star God's Blessed One. Add another piece of divine bone, and become the first-level three-star god-fated one, only [-] points away from the upper limit of divine power.

If there are enough boundary beads, Xia Pingan is sure that he can gather 99 divine bones within a month to reach the final step of conferring the gods, but now, he can only endure, patiently waiting and looking for the opportunity for the boundary beads to appear .

Mrs. Margaret's friend will come to visit the divination this morning, which is a good start, and Mr. Coin said that the Aarons family, as well as the Dark Moon Club and Franco Petrarch will compensate themselves with a batch of enough If you want to upgrade yourself to a level of Realm Beads, then just wait patiently.

In the back pages of the newspaper, there was no news of Mr. Coin.

……

Just when Xia Ping'an was reading the newspaper, a dazzling golden carriage had already stopped in front of No. 169 Binhu Street. Almost as soon as the carriage stopped, it was on the green clothes on the big tree by the roadside outside. The messenger immediately noticed the carriage, and the magic vine in the soil of the flower bed outside the door also noticed it.

The driver of the carriage was as strong as a bear, with a thick beard and a faint scar on his left cheek, got out of the carriage, opened the door of the carriage respectfully, and a snow-white calf wearing golden high-heeled shoes stretched out from the carriage. Afterwards, Mrs. Caitlin, who was wearing a long white dress and a fox fur shawl, put one hand on the driver's wrist, and gracefully stepped down from the carriage.

Mrs. Caitlin has changed to another carriage today, and she thinks this gold one matches the high heels she is wearing better.

After seeing that there was no longer a "go out on business" sign outside the gate of No. 169, Mrs. Caitlin finally showed a graceful and elegant smile on her face.

Mrs. Caitlin just gestured with her eyes, and her coachman stepped forward and rang the doorbell at No. 169 Lakeside Street.

A few seconds later, Long Wu opened the gate of the villa, and glanced at the coachman outside the door. The eyes of the two collided twice. Mrs. Caitlin's coachman explained the purpose of his visit, and Long Wu politely let the two Entering the villa, let the coachman wait in the living room of the villa, and directly took Mrs. Caitlin to the tea room on the first floor of the villa near the back garden. This tea room has been repackaged and decorated, and it looks relaxed, comfortable and quiet. studio.

When Xia Ping'an and Mrs. Caitlin met, they both froze for a moment.

"Ah, it's you..." Mrs. Caitlin covered her mouth and smiled in a charming manner.

"Ma'am, this world is really small, I never thought I'd meet you again!" Xia Pingan also smiled.

When Mr. Coin first asked Xia Pingan to meet at the Dominant Temple, Xia Pingan came out of the confession room, just had a face-to-face meeting with the woman in front of him, and then attended the worship at the Dominant Temple together. They didn't know each other, they just glanced at each other and left an impression.

Madam Caitlin's first impression of Xia Ping'an was that of a rich woman, but she did not expect that the first customer who came to the door today was her.

After the two met again, Xia Pingan asked Mrs. Caitlin to sit down, and poured a cup of tea for Mrs. Caitlin herself. As soon as Mrs. Caitlin sat down, she untied her fox fur shawl, revealing her graceful upper body curves, and sat lazily on the sofa.

"It's hard to believe that you are a fortune teller at such a young age..." Mrs. Caitlin said with a smile, "I know most of the famous fortune tellers in Colland. As a newcomer, you seem to be very confident. I hope you don't let me down." !"

Xia Pingan naturally knew what Mrs. Caitlin meant by confidence, because his fee was indeed not cheap, so Xia Pingan asked directly, "What does Madam want to divination?"

"Of course it is dream interpretation. Dreams are revelations given by the gods. Only a fortuneteller who can interpret the revelations of the gods can gain a foothold in a place like Kelland..." Madam Caitlin said a little arrogantly.

"What dream did Madam have?" Xia Pingan asked directly.

"A very strange dream, um, related to the weather. There was a black rainbow in the dream, and there was a strong wind..." Mrs. Caitlin frowned slightly, her eyes revealed memories, "I had the same dream recently. I've done it many times, and I don't know what it means!"

"Oh, is that so? Let me see..." Xia Pingan said, pointing at Mrs. Caitlin's eyebrows. After consuming two points of divine power, the dream-acting technique has been activated...

In order to spread his reputation and word-of-mouth, Xia Pingan paid a lot of money for the first customer who came to the door. This dream-acting technique requires divine power, so it is not necessary to use it, but it can be more established if he uses the dream-acting technique. The image of oneself in the eyes of others.

As soon as the dream-acting technique was cast, Mrs. Caitlin closed her eyes naturally, as if falling asleep.

The scene in the dream is Mrs. Caitlin standing on the cliff, the dream is misty, there is rain in the sky, the wind is very strong, the strangest thing is that there is a black rainbow hanging in the sky of the dream, The strong wind blew the long dress on Mrs. Caitlin's body, making this woman look lonely and helpless in such a dream.

Looking at such a dream and interpreting the messages that appeared in the dream, Xia Ping'an's expression suddenly turned serious.

With a wave of her hand, Mrs. Kaitlin's dream disappeared in front of Xia Ping'an. Mrs. Caitlin also opened her eyes again. Looking at Xia Ping'an, she suddenly showed some respect. Mrs. Caitlin sat up straight, her eyes flickered, full of Out of curiosity, "Ah, what you just cast was the dream-acting technique? I feel like I've entered that dream again!"

"Yes, that's exactly dream acting!" Xia Pingan nodded.

"What does that dream indicate?"

"That dream doesn't bode well, ma'am, please forgive me, your life is now facing a huge crisis, and this crisis will be related to your health!" Xia Pingan said to Mrs. Caitlin with a serious face .

8 Chapter Eighty

"Crisis?" Mrs. Caitlin's carefully groomed eyebrows frowned slightly, her eyes were a little puzzled, and she asked a little hesitantly, "You said that my current life hides a crisis that I can't see, and I Facing serious health problems?"

"Yes, ma'am, just as your dream shows, you are actually standing on the edge of the cliff, but you haven't noticed it yet!" Xia Pingan said seriously, staring into Mrs. Caitlin's eyes.

The black rainbow in the dream is a bad omen, and the strong wind blows the clothes. This is a clear indication of health problems in the dream. As for the cliff, it is a reproduction of Caitlin's wife's current situation in the dream. This is the dream. From a certain point of view, the so-called dream is a way for the soul to communicate with the brain and consciousness. The perception ability of a person's soul is beyond the imagination of the body.

Mrs. Caitlin looked at Xia Ping'an, her eyes flickered, and she was a little confused, because based on her life experience, this kind of guest who pretended to be alarmist when encountering someone fortune-telling and then frightened the fortune-telling guests panicked and finally let them be manipulated and blackmailed for a while. She has encountered more than one fortune teller with a lot of money. Such a trick is actually very low-level, especially for a customer who just came to the door, it will scare people away.

However, the feeling that Xia Pingan gave Madam Caitlin made Madam Caitlin feel that this young fortune-teller should not be so shallow and greedy, especially, being watched by Xia Pingan's deep and dark eyes, Madam Caitlin's heart can There was an inexplicable sense of tranquility and stability, which was never given to her by other fortune tellers.

"Uh, I know that the rules of your fortune-tellers are not to explain the specific reasons of dreams to customers. I don't want to inquire about the secrets and rules of your fortune-telling. I'm just curious. Can you tell me what is in this dream? A scene indicates that there is a problem with my health, don't worry, I won't tell others what you said?" Mrs. Caitlin rolled her eyes and asked a question on the sidelines.

"The gust of wind in the dream is blowing your dress, madam. This scene indicates that there is a big problem with your health, madam. Maybe you haven't noticed it yet!"

"Why does a strong wind blowing my dress indicate something is wrong with my health?"

Xia Pingan thought about it for a while, and then explained, "This question involves the mystery of death and the soul. According to a certain theory, when a person dies, the consciousness and soul will be blown away from the body by the strong wind that makes up the universe. As far as life is concerned, our bodies are just clothes worn by the soul, and the strong wind blowing the dress in this dream actually indicates that there is a serious problem with your soul's clothes, and this problem may endanger your life!"

"Is that so..." Mrs. Caitlin muttered to herself, obviously shocked by Xia Ping'an's words.

Xia Pingan turned back to his sofa and sat down, picked up the teacup and drank tea unhurriedly, "I suggest Madam, you should find a reliable doctor and give yourself a thorough examination as soon as possible..."

Seeing that Xia Pingan picked up the teacup and began to drink tea, Mrs. Caitlin immediately understood that according to the etiquette of the Chinese people, this is the completion of the fortune-telling and seeing off the guests. This young fortune-teller is really different from those fortune-tellers. It's just divination. It's not like those liar fortune tellers who will give her a set of expensive solutions and lure her into the bait step by step.

Xia Pingan didn't act so eagerly, but made Mrs. Kaitlin trust him all of a sudden. In fact, Xia Pingan also saw the suspicion in Mrs. Caitlin's heart, so he did it on purpose. At this time, being too enthusiastic would actually It will make people suspicious, and Mrs. Caitlin's crisis, so far, has nothing to do with him, how much money he spends on how much work.

Mrs. Caitlin took a deep breath, "Your firm should not only be able to undertake business such as divination, right?"

"Uh, ma'am, that's true. When I set up an office, I naturally try my best to meet the needs of customers!" Xia Pingan nodded. The supernatural office undertakes a variety of businesses, not just one.

"Then are you sure what's wrong with my body?" Mrs. Caitlin continued, staring at Xia Ping'an's face, her tone was sincere but with the imposing manner of a rich man who couldn't be rejected, "Since you can divination If you have a problem with me, you must have the ability to solve it, don't worry, I won't let you work in vain, as long as you can satisfy me, the reward I will give you will definitely satisfy you!"

"Okay, Ma'am, please stretch out your hands, put your left hand on the table, and I'll show you!" Xia Pingan picked up a small pillow and put it on the table, letting Mrs. Caitlin stretched out her left hand and put it on the table, then Xia Pingan stretched out her hand and began to feel the pulse of Mrs. Caitlin.

"I saw that some Chinese doctors made such a diagnosis when they saw a doctor. Apart from divination, you can also see a doctor?" Mrs. Caitlin asked in surprise.

"A little bit!" Xia Pingan said modestly. After more than ten seconds, Xia Pingan asked Mrs. Caitlin to stretch out her right hand, and also felt the pulse on her right hand for a while. Finally, Xia Pingan retracted her hand and asked Mrs. Caitlin to stretch out Tongue, Xia Pingan frowned slightly after reading it.

"How, are you sure?" Mrs. Caitlin asked.

Xia Pingan nodded, "Madam, you have been poisoned, and it has been going on for a long time, at least a year and a half!"

"What, you said I was poisoned?" Madam Caitlin's eyes widened in surprise, she almost screamed, her voice suddenly became louder, "How is it possible..."

Before Xia Pingan could speak, a concerned voice suddenly sounded from the aisle outside the door, "Madam, are you alright?"

Outside the room, the coachman who heard Mrs. Caitlin's voice heard the change of Caitlin's voice in the tea room, and walked quickly from the living room towards the tea room, but was blocked by Long Wu in the aisle outside the tea room, his body as if The black bear-like coachman's eyes flashed dangerously, one hand was already under his robe, and he shouted at Long Wu, "Get out of the way, I want to go in..."

Long Wu also narrowed his eyes, staring at the coachman and the coachman's hand, "You are not a guest, you can only wait in the living room, if you dare to be rude here, I will cut off your hand!"

The eyes of the two were fixed on each other, as if sparks were about to be rubbed against each other.

"Herman, I'm fine, don't be rude, you wait for me in the car..." Madam Caitlin's calm voice came from the tea room.

"Yes, ma'am..." Hearing Mrs. Caitlin's words, the coachman breathed a sigh of relief, lowered his eyes again, pulled out one hand from under his robe, stepped back slowly, left the room, and returned to the carriage outside. .

In the room, Xia Pingan smiled, "Madam, your coachman is very loyal to you!"

"Yes, although Herman is rude, he is the most loyal person to me!" Madam Caitlin eased her emotions, and spoke in a calm tone as much as possible, "By the way, you just said that I was poisoned?"

"Yes, ma'am, I'm sure you've been poisoned!" Xia Pingan nodded.

"What kind of poison?"

"It's arsenic, and it's been poisoned for a year and a half!"

"Arsenic?" Mrs. Caitlin's face changed, "meaning I was poisoned by arsenic a year and a half ago?"

Xia Pingan shook his head, "Ma'am, it seems that you don't fully understand what I mean. What I mean is that you have been ingesting a considerable amount of arsenic almost every day for the past year and a half. This is a continuous process. Accumulated for more than a year, the arsenic intake in your body has begun to threaten your health, causing serious damage to your liver."

Mrs. Caitlin had an unbelievable expression on her face, "How is it possible, my daily diet is tested for poison..."

"How to detect?"

"Use the poison test needle, you know, the poison test needle is something made by the summoner, it is very precious, it can detect more than 100 kinds of poisonous things, especially arsenic, if my food is poisonous, how can I hide it The poison test needle? Is there something wrong with my poison test needle?"

"There are many ways to poison a person, and the test needle also has weaknesses. Not all poisonous things can be found. I can only confirm your current situation, madam. As for how you were poisoned, madam, I can't be sure here. Xia Pingan said calmly, "Actually, Madam, your body also responds to poisoning, but you are not aware of this problem. In the past two months, Madam, do you feel that your appetite is declining? Less stuff, but more sleep and more colds?"

Hearing what Xia Pingan said, Mrs. Caitlin finally changed her face.

"Looks like I got it right!"

"My personal doctor said that it was because of my constant colds in the past two months, which led to a decrease in appetite and an increase in sleep!"

"Your personal doctor's judgment is wrong. A cold, loss of appetite and increased sleep are all signs of physical weakness caused by poisoning. If you continue, it won't be long. Madam, you will find that you are wearing a skirt with a thick pannier. The skirt and the waist will gradually become unbearable..."

Chapter 881 Poisoned

Sitting in Mrs. Caitlin's carriage, Xia Pingan looked at the stretch of manor outside the carriage, thinking deeply...

Mrs. Caitlin's manor is too big, but the farms and vineyards outside the manor cover an area of ​​more than 4000 acres. Mrs. Caitlin's manor occupies a large area of ​​hills and flat land to the east of Colland. The ups and downs in the middle, the windmill of the mill is slowly turning, and the neat grape trellises on the low hills. Everything in front of you is pleasing to the eye.

The golden carriage drove unhurriedly on the road of this manor. It felt like the lord was inspecting the territory. Many people working in the fields would temporarily stop their hands when they saw the golden carriage passing by. Work, salute to the carriage, those carriages and ox carts pulling goods, when they see this golden carriage coming, they will take the initiative to park their cars on the side of the road, and the drivers take off their hats and respectfully make way for the road.

Xia Pingan could tell that those who worked in the manor had sincere respect for those who sat in the carriage.

Mrs. Caitlin, who was sitting in the carriage, was stroking the head of the black dragon squatting in the carriage, and seemed very interested in the black dragon.

"Madam, it can be seen that the people in this manor like you very much..." Xia Pingan said.

"Wealth doesn't mean much to me. My current wealth can't be spent in ten lifetimes..." Mrs. Caitlin raised her eyes, glanced at Xia Ping'an, and replied lazily, "I spend every year I will distribute [-]% of the income in the manor to the people below. I originally thought that this would slow down the growth of my wealth. Unexpectedly, the more I share, the more I get. The harvest has already exceeded my share..."

"Ma'am, don't you have any children?"

Mrs. Caitlin shook her head, "My first husband and I had a child, but the child died when he was very young, and then my husband also passed away, and I haven't been pregnant since then... "

Xia Pingan smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, Mrs. Margaret didn't tell me about this, and I don't know much about your personal situation..."

"It doesn't matter. It's been a long time since this happened. I'm not sad anymore. Now the whole Kelland knows that I'm a black widow, a woman who can't bear children but can make every husband of her own die. Many people say that I am a black widow. After receiving a vicious curse, I will die alone with a pile of gold coins in my arms..." Mrs. Caitlin showed a self-deprecating smile, "How many people covet my current wealth, but are afraid of my bad luck? My life is full of false flattery and pretense of greed and reserved hypocrisy. I am used to it. Compared with some upper circles of Colander, I actually prefer to associate with people in Margaret's circle. They will look simpler, we can talk about flower arrangements, cooking, beautiful dresses, jewelry, beautiful men, sorry, I don’t know why I’m talking to you today, I feel that you and those people are not Same, you can trust..."

In order to find out how Mrs. Caitlin was poisoned, Xia Pingan promised Mrs. Caitlin to come to her manor. Before coming here, Xia Pingan knew that he still underestimated the wealth of this woman. Such a widow , it is estimated that there will be no second one in the entire Kolland.

Seeing the huge manor in front of him, Xia Pingan also vaguely knew why this woman was poisoned.

Except for Xia Ping'an and this woman, no one knew the purpose of Xia Ping'an's visit to the manor this time, not even Mrs. Caitlin's driver. Mrs. Caitlin only said that she invited Xia Ping'an to the manor for a two-day holiday.

After a while, the carriage stopped in front of a pool in front of a beautiful building. A servant had already stepped up and opened the door. Mrs. Caitlin was the first to get out of the car, followed by Xia Pingan, and then Heilong also got out of the car.

The steeple-style roof, white walls and gray tiles, a huge fountain and sculptures in front of the door, in front of the pools and sculptures, is a large area of ​​neatly manicured open gardens, on both sides of the gardens are stretches of vineyards, vines are erected along the The trellis climbed up to form a shady grape corridor around the manor. The swirling fibrous roots of the vines extended and grew in all directions. Standing in front of the manor, you can smell the fruity fragrance of the surrounding grapes. Mrs. Caitlin's castle-like manor covers an area of ​​more than 50 acres, luxurious and elegant, full of rich and noble atmosphere.

"Wow, woof, woof..." Heilong, who got out of the car, suddenly yelled in one direction.

Xia Pingan glanced at the black dragon, and the black dragon stopped barking, and then an old man in his 50s, with a straight waist and wearing a black tuxedo, walked over from a distance. harmless.

"Madam, you are back..." The old man came to the carriage and bowed slightly to Madam Caitlin.

"Natas, this is Xia Ping'an, my friend, who will be my personal fortune-teller in the future, and will be staying in the manor for two days. You can arrange a room for him..." Mrs. Caitlin ordered directly, and the old man smiled He greeted Xia Ping'an with his usual expression.

Madam Caitlin introduced the old man to Xia Pingan again, "This is the housekeeper of my manor, named Natas, here, you can tell him if you need anything!"

Xia Pingan also looked at the old man and nodded.

"Okay, Natas, go and prepare today's lunch, I'm going to take my friend to visit the manor now!"

"As you wish, madam, may I ask where would you like to dine?" the butler asked thoughtfully.

"Just in the attic restaurant!"

After giving orders to the butler, Mrs. Caitlin took Xia Ping'an directly to visit the vineyards in the manor.

The vineyard in the manor is very large. The wine and other fruit wines brewed in the manor are the main income of the manor. Walking in the vineyard, Xia Pingan saw that many people working here were summoned by the summoner the farmer.

"Ma'am, there are many summoned farmers in your manor, do you have any summoners here?"

"Oh, there are no summoners in the manor. Many farmers in the manor are purchased from the summoner market outside. Natas said that buying farmers summoned by these summoners is much more convenient than hiring servants and workers , It can save a lot of labor costs every year. Natas originally planned to replace 80.00% of the people in the manor with farmers and craftsmen summoned by the summoner, and dismiss the others, but I think that kind of manor is lifeless. I still prefer more people, there is no need to save on this expense..."

The Summoner Market is where Summoners make money. A Summoner can summon all kinds of characters, such as farmers, craftsmen, doctors, servants, chefs, and even warriors or various pets. Summoners can get Money and various rewards, but the right to use these summoned objects for one year must be transferred.

Keland's Summoner's Market is opened every three months. Every time the Summoner's Market is open, it is very lively and attracts a large number of people.

"How many summoner farmers are there in the manor now?"

"Not many, less than a hundred, probably less than 20.00% of the number of workers and servants in the manor..."

Xia Pingan nodded.

Mrs. Caitlin took Xia Ping'an to visit the vineyard, and then visited the wine cellar. After walking around outside, it was already noon, and the two returned to the manor for dinner.

The dining room is in an attic on the roof of the manor. This attic is the highest place in the manor. Windows are opened on eight sides. Here, you can see the scenery of the whole manor. Here, it is arranged as a unique style. Small Restaurant.

Xia Pingan came here with the black dragon. Natas, the housekeeper of the manor, looked at the black dragon beside Xia Pingan, and stretched out his hand to take the black dragon away.

The black dragon bared its teeth at the steward Natas again.

"Madam, this dog is not very polite here. I can take this dog to another place first, so that it won't interfere with your meal, Madam..."

"It's okay, I like this dog very much, let it stay!"

As soon as Mrs. Caitlin spoke, the butler Natas stopped insisting and let the black dragon enter the attic restaurant.
