PS. Writer’s block, the content is as the subject suggests.

Leonard Churchill left the Rat Camp in the sewer.

Since the divination confirmed the source of his sense of danger, it was obviously time to leave.

Inside the wooden hut.

Bai Lao Shu stared at the Storage Ring left on the table, her expression extremely complex.

Lenny looked at the crimson blood on her chest and asked with concern, “Granny Ge, how are you feeling?”

Only a few people in the camp knew of Granny Ge’s identity, and Lenny was one of them.

It’s not that she was being modest when she said she’s not much of a divination expert.

It’s just that it would be very hard to find a Diviner with deeper insight in the realm of divination than this old lady throughout the entire East Wilderness.

Eighty years ago, she was already a famous figure in the Federation.

It was for this very reason that Lenny dared to bring Leonard to the camp before.

The hidden backup plan in place was actually Granny Ge’s divination ability.

If there were truly a bad outcome, he would take Leonard away to another place.

“I lost some years of my life. It’s my own doing,” Granny Ge shook her head and said, then sighed, “Ah, it’s also my fault. Out of curiosity, I wanted to see exactly what he divined, which led to such a severe backlash… That young man likely noticed something too, he just didn’t seem to mind.”

The backlash wasn’t just because of the divination; more importantly, she tried to glimpse into the cause and effect indicated by the divination.

She didn’t expect the consequences to be so severe.

“…”

Lenny also found it somewhat unbelievable upon hearing this.

He knew that Granny Ge’s divination was very special, even transferring the majority of the backlash onto the symbiotic rats.

But even so, to be hit with such a severe backlash, it was hard to imagine what was actually divined.

Granny Ge, with a bitter face, continued, “The cause and effect entangled with that young man is too shocking, far beyond my reach. If not unexpected, he should be someone from the Southern Continent.”

She had thought the crisis indicator could at most be pointing to the White Family, or perhaps the Orlan Royal Court.

After all, before this, Lenny and Leonard had killed a few members of the Black Blade Organization.

Such backlash wouldn’t have been a big deal.

But she didn’t expect it to be like this.

The cause and effect were so powerful that they couldn’t be scrutinized, like a God not to be looked upon directly.

At this point, the two of them said nothing further.

Granny Ge looked at the poker on the table and lamented, “This [Golden Divination Poker] is a relic of my teacher. After the ‘Gold Coup’, Prophet Atalas’s family was wiped out by several members of the Federation, and this relic was lost. I did not expect it to fall into my hands again today.”

Leonard did not take the poker, which could be considered compensation.

After all, the divination had pinpointed the crisis, effectively saving his life.

A relic is just a relic; he wasn’t stingy with it.

Upon hearing this, Lenny’s expression also turned complex.

Just this action alone made people respect him more.

Thinking, he then asked, “Granny Ge, what do you think about his divination outcome…?”

Especially since he had just been given the [Ashen Mist Relic Portrait], Lenny did not wish for Leonard to simply die like that.

But with such a tremendous cause and effect, it was hard to imagine anyone safely getting through it.

“Great misfortune,” Granny Ge said gravely, “Based on the poker divination, that person can’t possibly survive. But…”

After hesitating for a moment, a rare look of perplexity appeared in her mouse-like eyes as she continued, “But, that young man’s gaze is inscrutable, just like a prophet’s. Even though he seems to foresee his own situation, he’s still indifferent as if he expects everything. It reminds me of the leader of the ‘Thirteen Masked Riders’; I once met ‘Light Chaser’ Guni, and his eyes had given me the same impression… Such people, they never let themselves be caught in ‘surprises’. Perhaps…”

“…”

Lenny didn’t know what to say after hearing this.

Of course, he had noticed that Leonard’s expression hadn’t changed at all from beginning to end.

Sighing heavily again, Granny Ge said, “Sigh… let’s clean up, it’s time to move the camp to a new place.”

“Okay.”

Lenny nodded, helping to pack up the Storage Ring on the table.

Upon inspection, his expression froze.

Inside, in addition to the materials promised as payment for the divination, there were numerous top-tier mechanical materials and components.

“This…”

Lenny’s expression instantly became complex again.

He knew that these were left by Leonard for him to study puppetry.

Previous deliberate transactions had been without debts, and he hadn’t felt much. But this kind of gratuitous gift made him feel, somewhat indebted.

…

Within the City of Thieves, in a dark alley, a sewer manhole cover clanged open.

Leonard emerged from the sewer.

He turned back to the red-eyed rat behind him and said, “Give my thanks to Granny Ge.”

The rat, as if understanding, squeaked and promptly scurried back into the sewer.

Leonard had realized before that Granny Ge was certainly not simple.

She could divine, and so could Leonard.

In his deductions of the world, that diviner’s thread of cause and effect was very special.

Certainly not as simple as just any ordinary fugitive.

Recalling news stories related to diviners in history, he had also guessed some of her background.

However, Leonard had little interest in probing into someone else’s secrets.

Without further thought, he adjusted his clothes, and by the time he stepped out of the alley, he had already taken on an unfamiliar face.

Incidentally, or perhaps it was the rats’ fondness for the area, the place where Leonard emerged was right on Caramel Street in the West District.

This was the largest confectionery wholesale market in the City of Thieves.

In the not-so-long street, there were more than a dozen chocolate and cake factories.
