Part 1 the clown chapter 55 the revelation
Anna, who had beautiful eyes, hesitated for a dozen seconds and said:
”You can choose whichever you think is the most spiritual, you’re a soothsayer and I’m not, except of course for the cards, including the Tarot, I’ve tried to study them at home and always found it more of a toy, more of a game.”
Klein thought briefly, resting his elbows against the edge of the table, palms interlocked at the position of his mouth and nose, his gaze calm and his tone subdued:
”Divination with the astrolabe, then.”
He pointed to the dipped pen and stack of white paper on the table:
”Write down your fiancé’s name, as well as his external features, address of residence, year, month, and day of birth, and if you can remember the exact time, that would be even better.”
From the dress, grooming and temperament, he believed the other party was not illiterate.
Anna didn’t make a reply, reached out and drew out a piece of white paper, picked up that fountain pen, dabbed a bit of ink, and brushed and wrote, pausing now and then to think.
Two minutes passed and she pushed the blank sheet of paper across the room.
Klein probed and pressed, turning the order to take in the information on the paper:
”Joyce Myer, September 15, 1323, 2:00 p.m., 8 Stephens Street, East End, Tingen, short blonde hair, eagle beak-like nose ……”
With just that glance, Klein speed-calculated the spiritual number of the other man’s birthday:
”1 plus 5 equals 6.”
In the spiritual math of the mystical realm, the digits obtained by adding up the dates of birth are called the Birthday Spiritual Number, which affects a person’s life before the age of 27, while the Birth Month Spiritual Number (the digits of the month of birth added to the digits) affects the age of 27 to 54, and the Birth Year Spiritual Number (the digits of the year of birth added to each other to the digits) affects the age of 54 and beyond.
Today is July 1349, and Joyce has not yet turned 27, so Klein speed-calculates the Birthday Spiritual Number directly.
And the number 6 indicates a balanced, harmonized life with a loving, relatively good marriage or quasi-marriage.
Immediately after that, he calculated the spiritual number of the other person’s current year.
The so-called spiritual number of the current year is to replace the year of birth with the current year, and then add it with the spiritual number of the birthday and the spiritual number of the birth month to get the approximate fortune for the current year.
”1+3+4+9=17, 1+7=8; 8+ Birth Month Spiritual Number 9+ Birthday Spiritual Number 6=23; 2+3=5; The current year Spiritual Number is 5, which indicates that there will be changes and accidents that will require a certain amount of risk-taking …… “Klein combined the actual situation and silently made a judgment and determined that the information provided by Anna was more accurate.
He withdrew his eyes from the paper and looked at Anna:
”Mr. Maier departed on June 3?”
”If he’s not lying, then yes.” Anna bit her lip lightly.
”Good.” Klein took the pen and jotted that down casually.
He looked to Anna with dark brown eyes and said gently:
”I’m going to start drawing the corresponding astrolabe, it will take some time and absolute silence, can you go out and wait for a while? Angelica will give you a cup of coffee or black tea.”
”Okay.” Knowing that certain diviners could be eccentric, Anna wasn’t surprised when she got up, grabbed her veil hat with its powder blue ribbon, and left the citrine room.
Klein unlocked the door to his room and returned to the table, mapping out the astrolabe of events based on the year, month, day, point in time, etc., including elements such as the constellations, planets, and houses (divisions of the sky’s position).
In this process, he almost did not flip through the “astrology manual”, purely based on memory to complete all.
–In this period of time in the occult course, Klein found that as long as the content related to divination, once he learned, he could easily grasp it, and quickly become instinctive.
This may be the “diviner” right …… He finished drawing the astrolabe, and a sense of satisfaction arose, only to feel body, mind and spirit are much more relaxed.
Looking at the results, he based on the horoscope, according to the planets fall into the house, according to other auxiliary symbols, rough judgment Joyce Maier will encounter bad luck, but ultimately be able to come out.
At this point, the divination is actually completed, but Klein is quite important to the first “business”, hoping to accumulate reputation, convenient for the subsequent play, so he picked up the pen again, on the piece of paper written by Anna heavy line of Hermetic language:
”Joyce Myer’s present condition.”
He read the line silently, memorizing the information on the paper, such as the date of birth, over and over again.
After seven times, Klein grasped the piece of paper in his hand and leaned back in his chair.
A ball of light was outlined within his mind, his eyes turned deep black, and his entire being flew into a meditative state.
The surroundings suddenly became ethereal, and there seemed to be intangible things and illusory gray mist stretching out above, boundless.
Klein recalled everything on the paper one more time, then indulged himself and fell into a deep sleep in such a state.
He was going to use the “dream divination method”!
Repeat the question, memorize it, and then let his astral body roam the spiritual world in his dream to gain revelation!
For ordinary people, this kind of experience happens occasionally, but the “symbols” in the dream are complicated and vague, and it is difficult to memorize them, whereas the “soothsayer” does not have this problem, and can see some images visually.
Everything began to blur, and Klein was half awake and half in a daze.
In the distorted, unreal world, he saw a young blonde man with a hawk’s nose, who was swimming frantically in fear in a sea of blood, and was nearly swallowed up several times, but was lucky enough to make it to shore in the end.
The scene shattered and shifted, and Klein saw a gray and blue house with a toy windmill on the doorstep, and the young blonde with the hawk’s nose stepping inside, looking pleased with himself.
Just then, the image shifted again, and Klein found himself inside a looming palace.
The walls of the place were collapsed and dilapidated, some places were even covered in moss and weeds, and through the broken holes around the place, one could see the peaks of the mountains outside and the white clouds that were almost close to the place.
At the very top of the palace, there was a huge seat carved out of stone, it was inlaid with dull gems and gold and did not seem to be meant for humans.
The top of this massive seat was empty and much mottled, as if it had been baptized over a long period of time.
Klein looked around in confusion, wondering why he had dreamed of such a scene.
His murkiness began to diminish, and he subconsciously headed beyond the palace, trying to confirm what this place was.
Suddenly, he felt watching eyes, from behind!
Klein turned around violently and looked at the huge stone seat, only to see what seemed to be countless transparent maggots hugging it in a ball, slowly wriggling and growing uncontrollably.
Hiss!
He opened his eyes at once, waking up from his dream.
The crystal ball, tarot cards, and paper drawing the astrolabe were reflected in his eyes, and reality flew to triumph over illusion.
”The beginning of the dream was the result of divination, what is the latter counting? It seems to be directed at me?” Klein put down the paper and rubbed his temples, frowning in thought.
What he could confirm was that it wasn’t the fear lurking in his heart expressing itself through the dream, as the divination itself was being done.
”An inhuman palace on a mountain peak …… A silent gaze upon me …… Twisted and bizarre worm imagery …… “Klein recalled earlier, speculating wordlessly, “was it the one communicated by the ‘Transit Ceremony’ or was it brought to me by the Antigonus family notes …… By the way, that note mentions the The Land of Night in the Hornachis Mountains! The palace in the dream just now is on the peak of the mountain!”
He did a little interpretation, and was glad that he chose the “Diviner”, according to the old Neil’s words, the “Secret Snooper” can also do “dream divination”, but it is certainly not as powerful as his own.
Whew, the ghost is not still ah …… can only hope to catch Riel Bieber earlier …… Klein collected his emotions, took the paper with the astrolabe drawn on it, and walked slowly to the door.
He opened the door to his room and made his way to the reception hall to see Anna staring out the window, completely ignoring the black tea in front of her.
”Ah, Mr. Moretti, have you divined the result?” Scanning Klein out of the corner of her eye, Anna stood up in a panic.
Klein didn’t answer directly, but instead asked based on the revelation picture he received in the dream:
”Is there a toy windmill in front of your house, or Mr. Myer’s house?”
Anna’s eyes widened precipitously and she was speechless for a long, stunned moment.
After a while she murmured:
”That was a gift from him, it’s on my doorstep, you, how did you know ……”
This, this, this can also be divined?
Klein revealed a smile and spoke gently:
”Congratulations, Miss Anna, Mr. Joyce Maier is a guest in your house, if you rush back immediately, you should still be able to meet him, he has experienced a disaster, an unimaginably painful journey, what he needs is not an inquiry, but comfort, but a warm embrace.”
”Really, really?” Anna asked rhetorically in disbelief.
The soothsayers she knew never spoke with such certainty, gave such definite conclusions.
”You’ll find out when you get home right away.” Klein smiled in a soft tone.
”Oh, Lord of Steam, is this true? My poor Joyce is back? Are you really sure of that? No, I can’t believe it ……” Anna froze, almost incoherently.
She pulled a 1-sur bill out of her carry bag, and without waiting for Klein to make change, she left the Divination Club at a small, near-quick trot, hurrying back to her home in her carriage.
”Does this include a tip?” Klein shook his head and lost his smile as he held the bill.
……
The two-wheeled carriage breezed through the streets and into the East End.
Anna looked out the window with apprehension, anticipation, and trepidation as the street swept back quickly, and it wasn’t long before the toy windmill leapt into view.
Getting out of the carriage, she didn’t care about her grooming and almost stumbled to the door, pulling the bell.
The door to the room creaked open, and Anna saw a young blonde man in black formal wear, with a gaunt face, a pleasant gaze, and a nose like an eagle’s beak.
”I thought I was going to miss you today.” Joyce said with a smile.
”…… Steam in the air, you’re really back!” Anna cried out in surprise and joy as she rubbed her eyes.
What that Diviner had said was true!
No, that was a real soothsayer!
It was simply marvelous!
Thoughts welled up and boiled over as Anna fought back tears and pounced on her fiancé, giving him a warm hug.
Outside the gray and blue house, the two embraced in silence as the toy windmill turned slowly and all the trials and tribulations seemed far away.
