Chapter 559: 419, Aiko self-destructs, Peeping Tom + big liar!?
“”Got it right?” Passersby looked at Lin Da with surprise.
“The fortune teller miss is really accurate, okay? She divined where I could meet my other half, and today we’ve already entered a contract!”
A blond-haired leopard, with his arms around a student-dressed elf girl, proudly declared.
“Indeed accurate, I lost my dagger, the fortune teller miss gave me a specific location, I went to see and, indeed, it was there.”
“Not just that, the fortune teller miss also…”
A group of adventurers seemed to spring from nowhere, all talking at once, praising the fortune teller’s wide-reaching powers.
...
Even Lin Da, resolute as he was, began to harbor a sliver of self-doubt.
His birthday, only the members of the Phoenix Tail Flower and a few others knew.
To be safe, he prepared to ask a second question.
“The color of the underpants I wore a week ago was what?”
Besides Lin Da, there were, at most, four people who knew the answer.
And these four, were all behind him.
Lin Da regained his composure, knocked on the wooden table, “If you can’t answer, I’ll have the Knights Order confiscate your stall.”
“Blue.” The fortune teller caressed her crystal ball, glanced at the white mist inside it, and smiled, “And they were boxer briefs.”
“This…”
Lin Da’s expression changed.
Seeing his expression, the crowd erupted into a wave of gasps once again.
The fortune teller was indeed powerful!
Tasya and the others also looked at each other, finding it incredible.
In theory, whether it was Lin Da’s birthday or the color of his underpants should only be known to the four of them.
Could this fortune teller be a disguise of the Great Sage?
Lin Da: “Then I’ll ask…”
“Sir, the number of questions each person can ask is limited, because you are a celebrity, you have the exceptional chance to ask multiple questions. But even in your case, you can only ask one more question at most. After that, I will refuse all divinations related to you.”
The fortune teller miss said sternly.
“Understood.” Lin Da rubbed his chin, pondered, assuming the other party was the real deal, what he needed divined was indeed…
“Please tell me, where should I go to find the Light Mage I’m looking for.”
Lin Da’s expression was solemn, his hands placed on his knees, he gave a slight bow to the fortune teller suspected of being the Great Sage.
The top priority for Phoenix Tail Flower was to break through the 16th and 17th levels.
If fortune teller miss could help him solve this, let alone the fee of a thousand Gold Coins, even a million, Lin Da would be willing to pay.
“The person you’re looking for…”
The fortune teller looked down at her crystal ball, her voice distant and ethereal as if possessed by a deity, “Tomorrow at noon, near the musical fountain on Central Street, the answer will be there. The sprites of fate have thus spoken.”
“Central Street, musical fountain…”
Lin Da mused.
If he remembered correctly, that place was one of the three great dating sanctuaries in White Dove City.
“Tomorrow, if I find that mage, I’ll come and thank you.”
Lin Da laid down a Purple Gold Coin and left with his team members.
People commented, “Fortune teller miss is truly formidable, she could even divine Captain Lin Da’s birthday and the color of his underpants.”
“Now it’s time for some serious divination.”
“Damn it, I only have three Gold Coins left in my pocket.”
“Please don’t rush, queue in an orderly manner, the stall will close in half an hour today.”

The fortune teller watched Lin Da’s retreating figure, a sly smile forming under her veil.
…
In the blink of an eye, it was noon the next day.
Lin Da, dressed in a simple black tracksuit, drove his carriage to Central Street.
The musical fountain was located near the Imperial Credit Bank, at night the Magic Circle would light up, emitting beautiful music, ranking second among the three great dating sanctuaries.
By the way, the first and third were respectively the Bunny Girl Magic Game Center and Swan Amusement Park.
“This is the place.”
Stopping the carriage, Lin Da walked ahead.
The spacious square was bustling with adventurers, laughing and playing, mostly in mixed-gender pairs, with intimate gestures.
In the center of the square was a massive fountain, within which was a stone sculpture resembling the World Tree.
Water shot from the top like an umbrella-shaped curtain, over fifteen meters in diameter, shielding people from the hot sun, many sat at the edge of the fountain to cool off.
“The mage I’m looking for is among these people…”
Lin Da scanned the area.
There was a muscular Beastman carrying a Great Sword.
A nimble green-haired Elf.
A man wearing a red Mage Hat.
All kinds of people were present.
Their common trait was a very low level, none above the 20th.
To help him break through the 16th level, the desired one must be at least of Star Rank.
Lin Da shifted his gaze to another area.
That was…
Lin Da’s eyes widened slightly.
Even accustomed to seeing beautiful girls, the sight of that person’s back took Lin Da aback.
A golden-haired beauty in a white dress sat quietly on the stone platform.
Her legs together, she leaned to one side slightly, with a bag of cat food on top.
The girl stroked her hair with one hand, tucking it behind her ear, while with the other she held the cat food, bending down to feed a stray cat.
The stray cat had orange fur, a limp hind leg, an obvious trace of being hit by a carriage wheel, probably by accident.
Having lost trust in adventurers, it watched the girl in the white dress warily.
Yet, hunger made it linger over the cat food in the girl’s palm.
“Sss sss sss.”
From the girl’s mouth came a tender, captivating sound, difficult for little animals to resist.
The stray cat cautiously dragged its limp legs closer to the girl.
Perhaps sympathizing with the cat’s plight, the girl bit her lip with concern, lowered herself even more, scattered the food on the ground, and stepped back a bit.
She seemed to be a “cripple” too, supporting herself on the stone platform and moving her body back slowly.
