The three decided to pursue the Carabao clan first as they are said to have migrated south. The only problem is that they do not know how far south the clan migrated. Peridot even made use of the information that the Ryujin knows but their records only indicated south as well. It seems that dragons do not particularly care for other things if it was not treasure or other dragons.
"There is one way we can get a rough grasp of the location of the Carabao clan if they are hidden." Peridot stated but even she is reluctant to actually use that thod.
"Really? What is it?" Levin Cloud asked.
"We go to a Fortune Teller." Peridot stated but the face of the two suddenly beca contorted.
Since the people are now in an age of great technology, so of the superstitious beliefs like fortune telling and card reading weakened. The belief of the people is now reinforced by probability and statistics unlike the early half of the 21st century. Practices of reading fortunes or charms are more of souvenirs now or just for fun.
"You do know that fortune tellers are a scam here in Pandemonium, right? They charge exorbitant amount of money for freaking riddle. There is also a chance that the fortune that they are reading is not true. In fact, fortune tellers are scarce now due to so of them scamming nobles which made their heads fly off." Levin Cloud stated as her rembered the forum announcent of Fortune Tellers.
"If the passive skill that you get when you choose it as a sub class is not great then the class would have been forgotten." Kabrakan added.
The Fortune Teller Sub-class is a money hungry job class since gold is paid in order to have a chance of accurately predicting what the people want. The passive skill that it gives is called Lucky Dice where people would get a random buff depending on their luck. It would trigger for every five skills that the player uses.
It might be a chance buff but the players that have no passion for a production class would often choose it to aid their battle power. It also gives the players a great deal of satisfaction when they roll the best number as they could double the damage of the skill that they use.
"You do know that searching the world for a clue by fortune telling would an that we would invest at least a thousand gold. The commission of the fortune teller is not even present in that amount of money. That will just be the money used for the prediction." Levin Cloud stated as his face had a trace of him being scamd once.
"I know of one fortune teller that is sowhat accurate, but we need to shell out two thousand gold at least." Peridot stated.
"I agree. I will pay that amount as long as she can provide as three locations." Kabrakan answered as he does not want to search blindly.
Since Kabrakan agreed, Levin Cloud has no need to intervene. It was his quest in the first place and he will not be the one paying anyway. The three of them rode Moksha to a port city that is considered a free city as rchants are the one ruling it. It is also a place where many sea farers stay, and no racial discrimination is present in this city. Even undead are welco in this city as long they do not attack the living, but people are still avoiding them.
The three of them descended to the gate where Peridot is greeted by the guards since she is well-known in this city. This port city is where the Ryujin mostly trade their things that they do not need. They maneuvered to a tent in a hidden area of the commoner section of the port city.
"Such a rare occasion for the princess of the Ryujin tribe to seek my help." The woman dressed in a fortune tellers garb stated. Her robes could be described as made with the finest dark blue silk that goes well with her brown skin tone. Her lustrous black hair also added to her mysterious aura and beauty.
"Good day, Mada Jean. We need your foresight." Peridot greeted.
"I know. I have seen that you will co to my tent which is why I waited for you here." Mada Jean stated.
"She already said sothing that scamrs say." Levin Cloud whispered.
"It seems that one of you is not a believer." Mada Jean stated.
"If you are really a fortune teller then tell us what we wanted to know." Levin Cloud stated as he wanted to test the authenticity of the woman before them.
"You wish to find three great families." Mada Jean proudly stated which made Levin Cloud and Kabrakan show a shocked expression. The two looked at Peridot to see if she told her of their circumstance but she shook her head.
"How much?" Kabrakan asked as he is sowhat convinced.
"Three thousand gold coins." Mada Jean stated.
The three of them could not believe that the price is that great. That amount of money could already fetch two Epic Tier skill books that are not easily found. Although, Kabrakan expected this as he is also sowhat familiar with fortune telling.
"Since those three are great families, they should have the protection of fate. I would need to use 900 gold coins as offering to the Goddess of Fate to give
a revelation." Mada Jean explained.
"Agreed. Proceed." Kabrakan stated which made Mada Jean smile.
With a small gesture, the entrance of the tent suddenly closed. The interior of the tent suddenly changed to depict the scene of the stars. Mada Jean also floated as her eyes glowed in a mysterious light. She extended her hand towards Kabrakan, and he responded by taking out the three thousand gold coins.
Two thousand seven hundred gold coins vanished from existence while the remaining three hundred transferred to the safe that Mada Jean owns.
