As a "diviner" who has just entered the realm of mysticism, Klein doesn't dare to claim that he knows a lot, but he definitely knows more than ordinary people. He is clear that various forms of divination can be classified into three major categories based on a certain criterion. And this criterion is the source of "inspiration"! The first type of divination includes tarot, poker, pendulums, divination sticks, and dreams, etc. The "inspiration" obtained through the spiritual communication between the "inquirer" and the spiritual world is used to interpret the results of the divination. However, the pendulum and divination stick methods have very high requirements for spirituality, spirit bodies, and astral bodies. Ordinary people cannot obtain accurate and obvious "inspiration". Paper card divination uses the idea of providing fixed symbolic elements in advance, allowing the "inquirer" to have a vague and confusing "inspiration" to be reflected. Dreams fall between them. The second type of divination includes numerology, astrology, and all their derivatives. The diviner calculates, predicts, and interprets the corresponding results based on the objective information provided by the "inquirer" or natural changes, with the initiative not in the "inquirer", but in the diviner. The third type of divination involves the use of a third-party force outside the diviner and the "inquirer". The discus spirit and pen spirit that Klein knew from his previous life belong to this category. Through certain rituals, they request unknown and mysterious beings to directly provide answers. Although ordinary people are unlikely to succeed, if something unexpected happens and the communication involves malicious entities or just the mere contact causes one to collapse, it will often lead to a tragedy. Hannes Vanseert just mentioned "magic mirror divination" - in mysticism, mirrors are the gateway to the unknown, to the strange, and to the spiritual world. So Klein stopped outside the meeting room, intending to listen to this renowned diviner explain how he would explain it and decide whether to inform the team leader and go "copy" the gas meter of the other party at midnight. Of course, there are safe methods for "magic mirror divination", which is to pray for answers from seven orthodox deities. Even though ordinary people have great difficulty in obtaining true "inspiration", at least there is no danger and no aftereffects. And the "magic mirror divination" strictly controlled by night watchmen, substitute punishers, etc., is to ask certain organizations' deities or mysterious beings to help. Besides, one cannot simply fabricate words or traits. Maybe a certain word or trait attracts unknown attention. In this world with extraordinary power, similar divinations always tend to develop towards the worst outcome. Klein even suspects that the original owner and Welch, Naya, based on the notes of the Antigonus family, did a similar "black divination". At this time, Hannes also explained clearly the principle of "magic mirror divination" and began to describe the specific process: "First, based on the deity one believes in, select a suitable date and time. This can be determined through the 'Astrology Manual', for example, we all know that Sunday is the symbol of the Night Goddess and represents rest, while from 2 to 3 a.m., 9 to 10 a.m., 4 to 5 p.m., 11 p.m. to midnight, it is the time when the Night Goddess is in charge, so diviners who believe in the Night Goddess can perform 'magic mirror divination' during these periods on Sunday." The foundation is very solid... Klein nodded slightly through the half-closed door of the meeting room. It has to be said that under the mutual checks and balances of the seven churches, some mysterious knowledge has indeed leaked out. The 'Astrology Manual' provides many symbolic meanings, but without magic potions and extraordinary power, ordinary people can hardly achieve the desired effect. "Secondly, we carefully clean the mirror, it must be a silver-plated mirror, and place it at the position symbolizing the moon at home..." Hannes demonstrated using the props in his hand. No, what is needed at this moment is the "Spirit Pendulum Method". First, choose a position, mentally repeat "This place is suitable for the magic mirror divination" seven times, then observe the direction in which the pendant rotates. Clockwise is correct, counterclockwise is incorrect... Of course, if you are praying to malevolent, unknown, or mysterious entities, the position is not the key. Whether He is interested or not is the main point... Klein silently corrected. At this moment, he felt as if he was the teacher of the class... Hannes Vanseint couldn't hear Klein's inner thoughts, but he spoke normally and detailedly went through the pre-prepared matters. After the members finished writing their notes, he continued to explain: "After the bath is completed, confirm that all curtains are drawn, the door is locked and closed tightly, then light a candle and place it in front of the mirror, sincerely pray to the deity you believe in, the question should be as simple as possible, do not use complex modifiers... After praying seven times, pick up your mirror and gently drop it on the ground, it must be very gently... Remember the broken state, this is the revelation given by the deity... I will specifically explain several main symbols." Sigh, this is the orthodox "magic mirror divination". Klein let out a sigh of relief, walked slowly into the meeting room, sat in the previous position, and finished the last bit of South Wales coffee in one gulp. The so-called "orthodox" means that it can indeed provide revelations, but basically it cannot truly interpret. And for "exceptional individuals" at this step, if they received a response, they could directly see a certain image in the mirror and obtain relatively clear information! Because the symbols formed after the breakage are many, Hannes spoke for a long time until Edward Steve finished helping someone with the divination and returned to the meeting room, he had not yet concluded. Klein did not ask Edward what he had divined for someone or what method he used, this belongs to the unwritten rules among diviners, as the "diviner" he naturally had to strictly abide by, unless the other party mentioned it first. "I found that many times, our interpretations are too vague, it seems to cater to different needs, allowing different people to find resonance in the interpretation and describe themselves accordingly." Edward took a sip of Siberian black tea and sighed softly, "For example, encountering many setbacks, too many hardships, but eventually seeing the dawn, hehe, no one knows when the dawn will come, for instance, your journey is not very smooth, but it will definitely arrive alive, hey, the dead will not come to refute me." Because he did not listen from the beginning, he overlooked Hannes' "magic mirror divination course" "The survivor bias." Klein smiled and added. The general idea of survivor bias is that many statistics often only come from the living, the survivors, and the deaths are ignored, resulting in a significant deviation. "Yes, Emperor Roselius is truly a philosopher." Edward exclaimed. ... Klein picked up the empty coffee cup and pretended to take a sip. Throughout the afternoon, the members had been immersed in the astrology and magic mirror divination. Occasionally, they would come to Klein and Edward to discuss. At such times, Klein fulfilled his role as an informal member of the Night Watch team, striving to guide them to avoid thoughts that might involve the extraordinary or danger. However, the thing he most wanted to do failed. Several visitors came and went, none of them choosing to ask him for divination. "Perhaps I'll have to take the initiative to 'host' next time and say something like 'Your misfortune is upon you', 'You will have misfortune soon', 'Nothing will go smoothly for you'? No, this doesn't sound like a divinationist... " Thinking this, Klein couldn't help but shake his head and mock himself. He picked up his cane and stood up, saying his goodbyes and leaving. "Good afternoon, Grascis, it's been a long time," he said with a smile, seeing this like-minded friend wearing his usual formal attire, with a black tie around his neck, and a single pair of glasses hanging in his breast pocket. Immediately, he noticed that the other person's expression was quite bad, even the soft yellow hair had signs of dryness. "Good afternoon, Edward... cough cough." Grascis, holding his hat, suddenly pressed his fist against his mouth and coughed several times. Edward asked concernedly: "You seem to be sick?" "A very serious illness, it even turned into pneumonia before. If it weren't for my wife meeting a powerful pharmacist and giving me some magical potions, you might have to go to the cemetery to see me." Grascis's tone was filled with fear and relief. "Lord, I simply can't believe it. You were so healthy before, look at you now, you are so weak! I remember I divined for you last week, there were no signs indicating that you would get a serious illness." Edward moved his walking stick and exclaimed in astonishment. "The divination result of my own was the same as yours. Maybe we are not yet qualified diviners, and, and..." Grascis suddenly remembered the incident on Monday, and his expression became extremely solemn. Just then, the beautiful lady Angelica came over, bowing with a gentle smile. After exchanging greetings, she first focused on Grascis's health and provided some suggestions, then casually mentioned: "Mr. Grascis, the Mr. Moretti who came to ask for divination last time has joined the club." "The one who came to ask for divination for me last time?" Grascis's eyes lit up at once, "Lord, where is he?" "He has left." Angelica and Edward couldn't understand Grascis's unusual reaction. Grascis excitedly paced two steps and said: "If he comes next time and I'm not in the club, please make sure to ask him when he will come again!" "Grascis, what's going on? Did Mr. Klein Moretti do something to you?" Edward asked in confusion. Grascis raised his arm, looking directly into the curious gazes of Edward and Angelica, and answered passionately: "He is a very, very, very magical... " With his arm swinging down, Grascis, using three "very" words to describe, spoke loudly: "Doctor!"
