Leaving the magic tent, everyone had different thoughts.
"See, I knew her fortune-telling was fake."
Olivia said smugly.
Just then, the head maid returned and placed a small bag of fruit candy in Olivia's hand:
"What fortune-telling?"
The little swan said, "Didn't we just visit the fortune-telling house? There was this divination master rambling on, and the prediction wasn't accurate at all!"
As she spoke, she stuffed an apple candy into her mouth.
Lumi smiled and said:
"How do you know she wasn't accurate?"
The little swan blinked.
She couldn't say she saw it herself.
But it's okay, if she can't explain it, she can just play it off.
So she put her hands on her hips and said fiercely:
"I say it's inaccurate, so it's inaccurate!"
——A worthless divination master who can't even foresee the future of the Lianhuo Kingdom, how could she predict accurately!
Not to mention she couldn't even tell half of her future.
"Alright, alright, whatever Her Highness Olivia says is correct."
Lumi pinched her nose and said:
"After all, Lady Evelyn's prediction failure rate is as high as ninety-nine percent."
"Do you know her?"
The little swan said as she ate the fruit candy.
The head maid nodded:
"I've interacted with her, Evelyn from the Witch Tea Party, a great witch with immense power but obsessed with her useless divination magic."
The little swan said casually: "Is she strong?"
The head maid nodded, "Depending on the situation, in certain areas, the great witches from the Witch Tea Party are considered legends."
"But their power is very extreme, so if they encounter an enemy who specifically restrains them, even an ordinary exemplary could easily defeat them."
"Lady Evelyn is fairly easy to get along with. If someone satisfies her divination, she might even offer a small witch's gift."
The little swan said, "But she didn't complete my divination and still gave me something."
The little swan pulled out a small badge from her magic robe pocket.
It was a gift from Evelyn.
Lumi checked it, confirmed the gift was fine, and then said:
"Then keep it safe. Although Lady Evelyn's divination skills aren't great, those strange tools of hers always come in handy in unexpected places."
Olivia curiously asked, "Lumi, could you beat her?"
The head maid showed a subtle smile:
"Of course, I just so happen to restrain Evelyn the most."
Otherwise, why would she dare to leave so casually?
"In that case, the witch isn't all that," Olivia pouted, "Huh, how did that tent disappear?"
The head maid said: "That's Lady Evelyn's random teleportation tent. Every time a divination is completed, it gets transported to the next location."
The little swan's eyes lit up: "That's fun!"

[Location: Evelyn Witch's Hut]
The girl at the door didn't know when she had already sat on the fortune-telling table, her little feet swinging adorably.
The beautiful witch behind her said:
"Lady Evelyn, wasn't that little girl's fortune-telling incomplete? Why did you still give her a gift?"
The girl's swinging feet stopped:
"Of course, because I didn't prepare the gift, haha. If I didn't deliver it to her, we might die."
Yes.
The beautiful witch doing fortune-telling in the tent wasn't Evelyn.
The real Evelyn was the girl golem standing at the door welcoming Louis and the others inside.
At this moment, the real great witch hopped off the fortune-telling table, her smile disappearing, looking somewhat bitter as she said:
"I've delivered the item to her according to your request, can I leave now?"
The shadows in the tent squirmed.
Not long after, a calm set of footsteps came from the corner.
Evelyn watched the cloaked figure with a face full of apprehension.
A cold voice came from under the cloak:
"Of course, our agreement is completed."
Evelyn instinctively stepped back, gritted her teeth, and said:
"The local witches are really too rude!"
The cloaked person laughed: "Do you have any complaints?"
"Of course... not."
Evelyn gave in.
Evelyn chickened out.
Evelyn chose to apologize.
The bitter expression on her small face grew stronger, repeatedly emphasizing:
"We agreed, only this one time, doing something against my professional principles."
"Next time, even if you kill me, I won't help you deliver anything!"
The cloaked person nodded and said:
"Once is enough, the item is in her hands, I no longer need to worry about her safety."
Upon hearing this, Evelyn finally eased her worried heart and said helplessly:
"So, would you first dispel that magic divine arrow behind you? I'm a bit scared."
She paused for a moment, saying with some humiliation and fear:
"Even if you're the strongest of the Witch Tea Party, this is a bit much."
"Lazy Witch, Olivia."
A gust of wind blew through, wafting away the scent of spices from the Witch's House, gently brushing the hood of the cloaked person, revealing what's underneath.
Golden hair scattered.
Red eyes like blood.

[Location: Tino City, Outer District]
After satisfying the little swan's appetite, Louis and his party were free to proceed and soon arrived in the outer district.
The difference between the outer district and the inner district wasn't much.
However, compared to the inner district, with its numerous shops, the outer district had more residential areas.
The endless stretch of houses, staggered in height, and the not-so-flat roads made Louis feel a bit odd.
After a while, he realized where the anomaly lay.
——This capital of the Ense Empire doesn't really resemble the capital of a grand empire.
He had seen Ense Empire, and throughout the empire's vast territory, only the Burning Smoke Mountain Range area was steep and uneven, predominantly mountainous.
In such a place, unless there was no other choice, it was not suitable to be the Imperial Capital.
Just like the geographic structure of the Great Xia's Qian Province in his past life.
The majority of Qian Province's buildings were still built on the scarce flatland, and even so, the difficulty of construction there surpassed that of conventional plain areas.
The fundamental reason for constructing world-record high bridges like the Huajiang Canyon Bridge was that land traffic was indeed exceedingly inconvenient.
Rather than going through the immense effort of carving roads through mountains, it was simpler to establish a Cloud High Bridge.
He couldn't figure out why Ense would establish its capital in a place with such high infrastructural costs.
Unable to figure it out, he chose not to think about it.
They soon arrived at the largest entrances to the underground ruins.
Arriving there, Louis clearly felt a drop in the overall security.
At the entrance of the underground ruins, even a small group of vendors had gathered.
The number of adventurers noticeably increased.
There were also shady figures, disguising themselves as adventurers, slipping in and out quietly.
As Louis and his party arrived, the crowd couldn't help but focus their attention on them.
Some eyes were sharp, some wanted to speak out bluntly, but were promptly reprimanded by their companions.
"Are you crazy? If you want to die, stay away from us."
"Oh no, it's Caesar. I just glared at him. He won't find a chance to take me out later, will he?"
"Why don't you go apologize?"
"Damn, isn't that 'Canghong'? They say she's reached level 10, almost exemplary."
"Huh? You mean the Red Mad Dog..."
Smack!
Alice slowly sheathed her sword, a wanton smile appearing on her face:
"Did I give you too much face? You're older than me, and yet you love to gossip so much. Your strength must be impressive then."
"Why did you drop without making a sound?"
