The pirates in front of Du Ge entered the witch's hut one by one, and came out one by one.
No one made a sound.
Du Ge's hearing range of fifty meters also failed, and he couldn't hear any sound from the witch's hut at all.
It has to be said.
The witch's magic is really something.
After about an hour, it was finally Du Ge's turn. He gave Vito a signal and stepped into the witch's hut.
The hut was gloomy, illuminated only by a few candles, and there was a faint smell of herbs in the air.
"Sir, entering requires payment of 10 gold coins." A veiled maid stopped Du Ge, holding a tray with both hands, and spoke without any emotion in her voice, "Divination requires 40 gold coins."
Damn it!
Ten pirates in an hour, that's 500 gold coins. Working ten hours a day is 5,000 gold coins, which is almost the same as his bounty amount in sixteen days.
This is simply robbing money.
No wonder she would retaliate against anyone who leaked her divination content.
If it were him, he would retaliate too!
Being a witch is much easier to make money than being a pirate.
And there is no risk.
You know, he only robbed over a thousand gold coins from the Duffy family's two merchant ships...
Du Ge counted out 50 gold coins and placed them in the maid's tray.
The maid stepped back and cleared the way.
Du Ge walked along the corridor and entered.
The corridor was about ten meters long, with a small wall lamp lit every meter. The light of the wall lamp flickered, allowing people to vaguely see some strange patterns on the walls.
Exaggerated faces, hexagrams, octagrams, constellations in the sky, and so on, looked mysterious and strange, arousing people's imagination...
It's the same routine as a temple.
First spread various legends, and then create an atmosphere through the environment, so that everyone who enters here will unconsciously develop awe for the witch.
The herbs in the air should also have a hypnotic effect!
Du Ge analyzed the witch's methods and walked all the way to the end of the corridor, pushed open the small door at the end of the corridor, and bent down to enter.
Inside the room, the light was still dim.
A woman in a black robe sat behind the table, with a crystal ball in front of her. Behind her, there were shelves full of potions, and the bottles containing the potions had no names, only some strange symbols.
The dim light did not affect Du Ge's vision. He could clearly see the layout of the witch's room, and even saw the eyes revealed under the witch's black robe.
Those were a pair of young eyes. Although only the eye sockets and eyebrows were revealed, Du Ge speculated that she was definitely not over 25 years old.
Could this person be a fraud?
Du Ge couldn't help but have this thought.
Seeing Du Ge, the witch didn't even lift her head. She pointed to the chair in front of her, "Sit."
Du Ge sat down.
The witch finally looked up at him, then lowered her head again and continued to ask, "Young man, what do you want to divine?"
Her voice was hoarse and old.
Concealing her voice, she didn't even dare to reveal her original voice.
Even if this witch has magic power, her level is probably limited!
Before.
Du Ge came to witness the mysterious power of this world.
But now, he changed his mind, "Witch He Ya, I have heard an ancient proverb, which says that it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. This means that it is better to teach someone the skills of fishing than to give him a fish. So, I want to learn divination skills from you. Once I learn divination, I will be able to know anything I want to know."
The witch was stunned, never expecting Du Ge to ask such a question.
After a moment.
She raised her head again and glanced at Du Ge, "Young man, don't daydream. Only witches can learn magic. You are a man and will never comprehend magic. Please quickly ask your question and don't waste my time..."
"Alright!" Du Ge smiled slightly disappointedly and said, "Then please divine where I come from!"
"Don't you want to ask about the Trident of the Sea God?" The witch was stunned again.
"The Trident of the Sea God has no meaning to me. I want to know where I come from!" Du Ge smiled, "Please divine for me!"
"Okay, young man, I hope you won't regret it." The witch's hands floated above the crystal ball, and she began to mutter to herself.
Du Ge watched her with a smile, quietly waiting for the answer.
Nan Youlong once said that once the body possession is completed, the soul will merge with the body, and even the most sophisticated means cannot detect it. So, this question is the most suitable for exploring what kind of witchcraft it is.
The crystal ball emitted a faint white light.
Du Ge smiled and waited quietly.
After a moment.
Crack!
A crisp sound.
The white light on the crystal ball disappeared instantly, and then it was covered with cracks.
The witch groaned, her body shook violently, and she looked at Du Ge incredulously, "Who are you?"
Damn!
This question is too powerful. In the future, in other worlds, it can be used as a trump card for assassination.Du Ge shook his head with a smile, expressing his worries, "Witch He Ya, that's exactly why I'm here. These days, I've been lost in confusion, with three questions constantly troubling me.
Who am I? Where did I come from? Where am I going?
I have a feeling that if I can solve these three questions, I can unravel the ultimate mystery of life, and I will become a god in this world..."
"..."
He Ya was stunned into silence.
In that moment, she suddenly felt an urge to pick up the shattered crystal ball in front of her and smash it on the head of the man across from her.
You're a pirate!
Instead of thinking about stealing money, you're thinking about becoming a god!
"Even Witch He Ya can't divine it?" Du Ge continued to smile encouragingly, "Why not try another crystal ball? I was planning to come to you next month to divine who I am."
He Ya choked on her words, pointing to the door, "Please leave, you're not welcome here."
"But I've paid." Du Ge didn't move, "Witch, are you really not going to try again? What if you can divine it?"
"I'll refund your money, please leave." The witch took a deep breath.
"Should I come back in a month?" Du Ge asked.
"No, never come back, you're not welcome here." He Ya said hysterically.
At this moment.
She even forgot to disguise her voice, which became much clearer.
"Witch, your voice?" Du Ge widened his eyes in surprise, he stood up angrily, grabbed He Ya by the collar, and pulled her up from her seat, "You fraud, you're not Witch He Ya, who are you?"
The witch struggled desperately, "Let go of me, you bastard, I curse you..."
Her voice abruptly stopped.
Because Du Ge had torn off her veil.
Underneath the veil was a young, and angrily distorted face, with a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth.
As expected, when she tried to divine Du Ge's origin, she was backfired by the magic.
At this moment.
He Ya looked at Du Ge in astonishment, forgetting to speak.
"Everyone knows that He Ya is over a hundred years old, you're indeed a fraud, I'm going to drag you out and let everyone know that the witch is a money-swindling fraud..." Du Ge laughed, "Poor ignorant pirates, they've been fooled by you for so long."
"Ignorant young man, do you know the price of humiliating a witch?" The young witch finally came to her senses, she sneered, "You've been cursed by me, without my antidote, you won't even be able to leave this room, you'll bleed to death from your seven orifices. Beg for mercy now, and perhaps I can spare your life."
"Are you referring to the powder that popped out of your fingernails as the curse?" Du Ge shook his head with a smile, blinked a few times, and said, "I regret to inform you that I didn't inhale them. And, do you know how much pleasure it would bring me to subdue a renowned witch?"
Even in the dim light, Du Ge's senses were not affected.
In the first Simulation Field, his opponents were Tong Shihong and Zong Gui.
The movements of those martial artists were much faster than a witch who didn't exercise regularly, He Ya's every little movement couldn't escape Du Ge's eyes.
The witch's pupils contracted, "My curse is against the soul."
"I find it hard to believe that you can cast a soul-targeting curse without even chanting a spell. If you were that capable, you wouldn't be hiding in this hut swindling food and drink." Du Ge shook his head with a smile.
"I didn't swindle food and drink." The witch said angrily, "My divinations are all true."
"Where is the Trident of the Sea God?" Du Ge asked.
"..." The witch remained silent.
"Tell me, or else, I'll take you out and expose your true face to everyone." Du Ge smiled, his hand on her neck gently tightened, "Of course, it could also be your corpse, letting everyone know the true face of the witch."
"Golden Compass, find the Golden Compass, under its guidance, you can find the Trident of the Sea God." He Ya looked at Du Ge's calm face and said dejectedly.
"Where is the Golden Compass?" Du Ge asked.
"Collect the seven pieces of the Destiny Sea Map, and you can find the Golden Compass." He Ya's fate was in Du Ge's hands, and he showed no signs of poisoning after such a long time, she finally gave up.
"..." Du Ge was speechless, he looked at He Ya resentfully, "Are you playing Matryoshka with me? Is this what you tell those who come to you for divination?"
