GBP There's nothing in Chapter 755.
There's nothing in Chapter 755.
The girl in purple with pigtails nodded.
"Yes, but by the time I returned to Mondstadt, you had already left, so I missed the chance to see the excitement."
Xu Ning shook his head and smiled, "Although the misunderstanding with Dvalin was eventually resolved, the initial dragon calamity was a real disaster. You were actually quite lucky to have avoided it..."
Despite explaining that the Dragon Disaster wasn't a big deal, Xu Ning noticed that Mona didn't seem to care much about his words; instead, she kept staring at him.
"If I may ask, is that bard still with you?"
"Huh? He's here... No, what do you mean by 'together'? And why are you suddenly asking about that guy? What was that 'lively' thing you were talking about earlier? Explain it to me!"
Mona was taken aback by Xu Ning's sudden agitation.
"It's just a legend..."
Xu Ning immediately realized what she meant and interrupted her, "What legend! Aren't you an astrologer? Your profession should be to seek the truth of destiny by observing the stars, right? You keep talking about hearsay. I'm starting to doubt your true identity and professional ethics."
"what?"
Mona was also furious. Because she spoke bluntly, she had offended quite a few people, but as for her professional abilities, no one except that old woman was qualified to criticize her.
"Do you doubt me? Then are you ready to see your destiny? The great astrologer Astrologis Mona Megistus will personally divine your past and future, letting you see if I'm just spouting hearsay..."
Mona extended two index fingers and touched them together, drawing a perfect circle in front of her.
As her fingers came together, a water mirror took shape. Mona slowly placed the water mirror in front of her and looked down into the water.
This is the "water divination technique" that the old woman taught her. It is a divination technique based on the illusion of the starry sky reflected on the water.
Originally, this technique was to be performed using a professional astrological tool called a "water divination board." However, since Mona acquired the water-based divine eye, she can use the water mirror to perform divination almost anytime, anywhere. Moreover, the water mirror is more stable and purer, making the destiny she sees clearer and more accurate.
But today, this water mirror...
Mona gently rubbed her eyes. The water mirror in front of her was as clear and pure as the sky of Mondstadt, and there was... nothing in it.
This was the first time Xu Ning had ever seen divination done in such a magical way. Curious, he leaned over to look at the mirror. All he could see was the roof of the Steambird Newspaper Office, and, well, there was a spider web in the corner that hadn't been cleaned up...
"Although I don't know much about your industry, since you're an astrologer, if you want to see the stars, you should at least stand outside and wait until nightfall, and maybe have a clear, cloudless day, before you can use the observed stars for divination, right? Are you sure it's okay to be so casual?"
To Mona, Xu Ning's words now sounded incredibly sarcastic.
"You... what do you know? My water divination technique uses the illusion in the water to reflect the false sky, thereby revealing the true destiny. The positions of those stars are constant, so the past, present, and future can all be revealed in it. There is no need to consider the location or weather to use it."
Mona looked at the water mirror again. The mirror was completely empty; there wasn't even a trace of starlight, let alone constellations.
“How could there be nothing at all? Unless you’re not even a Teyvat, or someone has covered up your fate… I might as well take a look at that bard’s fate, and through the intertwined fate between that guy and you, I can also glimpse a corner of your destiny!”
Xu Ning recalled that he couldn't find any trace of himself or the element of alcohol in the ley lines, and thought to himself that his information had been filtered and intercepted by his predecessor, so it would be a miracle if you could see it.
However, upon hearing that the young girl was going to calculate the fate of that cowardly god, Xu Ning suddenly had an ominous premonition.
"I think you'd better not..."
Mona is so skilled at this; with a simple change of her spell, she shifts the target of her divination.
In that instant, the mirror-like surface of the water seemed to be rippled by a sudden gust of wind. Not only could nothing be seen in the water mirror, but it also seemed as if a strong wind was rising rapidly around Mona.
"Oh no! I..."
Before Mona could react, the entire water mirror was suddenly swept up by the wind, splashing water all over her.
Charlotte, who had been scribbling in a notebook the whole time, finally snapped out of it and rushed over to ask, "What's going on? Your astrology can actually backfire on you? Is it like the punishment Liyue receives for revealing celestial secrets?"
Xu Ning looked at Mona, who had a blank expression, and couldn't help but want to laugh, but he managed to hold it in.
"Ahem, Charlotte, why don't you take her to change into some dry clothes first? Oh, and Mona ended up like this because of the divination I did for her. Consider it an apology. How about I treat you to dinner at the Debord Hotel later? Of course, I'd also like to hear the astrologer's opinion on the Fontaine prophecy."
Seeing that Mona did not object, Charlotte made a gesture of agreement, turned around and pulled Mona to her house to change clothes.
"You still haven't said whether what happened just now was a backlash? And I remember you've always lived in Fontainebleau, so when did you become a Mondstadt citizen?"
I don't want to answer any questions right now.
Watching Mona, whose face was covered in soot, being pulled away by Charlotte, Xu Ning secretly gave Mona's "water divination" a thumbs up in his heart.
There are so many capable people in Teyvat!
The cowardly god's reaction just now clearly meant that Mona's skill even allowed her to glimpse the secrets of the demon god.
The astrologer who used this method was a young girl who was not yet twenty years old. If it were her master, or other big shots with similar abilities, would someone have already seen the past, present, and even future of this world?
Did their predecessors also receive some kind of "prophecy," or perhaps, as the "Hanged Man" Vesevernil said, they were already standing at a certain point in the future, waiting for the world to descend into the abyss?
"How do you astrologers view prophecy?"
So when Xu Ning saw that Mona seemed completely unable to resist the exquisite food at the Debord Hotel and had already put the unpleasantness from earlier behind her back, he seized the opportunity to ask the question.
Mona, maintaining her composure, ate two bites and then explained, "To put it simply, as an astrologer, if I see someone's fate through divination, then for that person, it's equivalent to making a prophecy for them."
"So you can see the prophecy about Fontaine as a powerful force that performed a divination on the entire Fontaine or even the entire world and saw its fate. People at this level can no longer be called astrologers; at the very least, they are powerful prophets."
