Chapter 144: A Divine Tree Descending From the Sky?

Half a year later.

Peter parked the car and faced Smallville Square.

The entire square seemed to be bathing in the glory of the setting sun.

Citizens stood and watched as the drop of orange sherbet melted into the ocean of milkshake orange—drinking, singing, watching the show, and buying every tacky and worthless knick-knack they could find.

Trained cats perform pantomime, pirates juggle rum bottles, magical people perform giant fire breaths, and taffy-stretched people perform barbell lifts.

The annual harvest festival brings together almost everyone in the town.

Peter brought Azu and Star-Lord to participate in the festival celebration.

Star-Lord, who was participating for the first time, was extremely excited and looked at everything around him curiously.

Peter looked down at his watch as he walked forward.

The hands of the watch are getting closer and closer to the end.

According to his speculation, the third baby will be delivered in about a week.

I wonder what type of baby the system sent this time?

Is it male or female?

He hoped to send a magician, so that he would not be too passive when facing enemies like witches and "Lucifer".

but

I have investigated and found that there have been no meteor showers in the Kansas area in the past month.

Could it be that this upcoming meteor shower will not be detected by the weather system?

Peter stared at the hands on his watch, lost in thought.

"Hi, Uncle Padraic."

He was deep in thought when he suddenly heard a voice greeting him.

When I looked up, I saw it was Lana and Nell.

Lana, who is wearing a green skirt and has a slender figure, has grown taller in half a year.

"Good morning, Peter."

Nell comes over to say hello to Peter.

"Good morning, Nell, and Lana."

Peter greeted the two.

"Star-Lord seems to have lost weight recently."

With a smile on her lips, Nell touched Star-Lord's head.

Being praised by Nell, Star-Lord held his head high proudly.

But after taking a look at his protruding belly, his whole body quickly deflated like a popped balloon.

"Ahem."

Peter glanced at Star-Lord, who was in a bad state, and said to himself, "You are not opening the pot."

"How's business at Talon Club lately?"

Peter changed the subject and asked Nell about the bar.

"So-so."

Nell shrugged her shoulders at him, "But the business in the town hasn't been very good recently, so compared to this, the bar is actually pretty good."

Peter was talking to Nell and Lana, while Star-Lord and Azu fled out.

In a crowded square, Star-Lord found a sign: Spiritualism - Telling Your Future.

Thinking of the last time, the lady who divined said that she would choke to death, Star-Lord had another plan of fortune-telling in his mind.

Having made up his mind, he looked at the owner of the sign.

It was discovered that the other party was a woman with a gypsy scarf wrapped around her head.

The woman saw Star-Lord coming over and said, "Hey kid, I'm so sorry, I haven't opened yet!"

"That's okay, I'll give you the money."

Star-Lord said very confidently.

He waved a ten dollar bill in his hand, "You can read my... omens, or my cards, or sniff my pheromones, or whatever you want."

Faced with Star-Lord's request, the woman shrugged, as if she could easily achieve her goal without trying hard.

"Well, I'm impressed by your money."

She sat down cross-legged, lifted up a piece of tie-dye cloth covering the crystal ball, then opened a carved wooden box and took out a stack of tarot cards.

A death card stood up. Behind the jet black cloak on the card, there was a jagged wooden head, holding a long-handled scythe to harvest wheat like a human being.

"You can call me Miss Hannah, and I can tell fortunes through this crystal ball."

The other party said to Star-Lord, "Or, I can read your cards, or your palm prints, it's your choice, kid."

"I can actually do it."

Star-Lord said as he threw ten dollars at the woman.

This was the few pocket money he had, which made him feel a little sick.

The lady with bleached blond hair, with seasoned and skillful movements, easily picked up the banknotes handed over by Star-Lord, and then took out the tarot cards.

She took out another small satchel, and Star-Lord smelled the strong smell of herbs, "This is a satchel with purifying functions. I have put sage, angelica and fennel in it-"

As she spoke, she suddenly made exaggerated movements and looked at Star-Lord in surprise: "You are now in danger of your life, child."

The woman suddenly looked nervous, and Star-Lord was frightened by her.

She cleared her throat and began to shuffle the tarot cards, then handed the stack of cards to Star-Lord, "Cut the cards, kid."

At the edge of the square, the sun had melted into a slimy line of gasoline that pooled on the horizon.

The somewhat nervous Star-Lord swallowed, carefully divided a stack of tarot cards into equal parts, and put one of the stacks back in reverse.

The gypsy woman took away the stack of tarot cards and began to flick the cards away, "This is the so-called Celtic Cross——"

Star-Lord asked him doubtfully: "What does it mean?"

The woman turns over the first card.

"Seven of Wands," she said with a hint of bewitchment.

The image on that card was of a man with curly hair standing on a hill, holding a staff, a gnarled object shaped like a cave monster.

He is trapped in a prison surrounded by gnarled sticks.

"What does that mean?"

"This means that you are about to face huge difficulties in all aspects-"

Star-Lord thought for a moment and said, "Dad said that everyone faces great difficulties, which is what people always say, 'Hey, look, this is reality', we are all surrounded by annoying people and shortcomings. "

He didn't think it was a big deal.

"Well"

The woman paused and continued to turn over the next card.

This card shows a goddess looking up at a five-pointed star over a meadow, with sheep grazing nearby.

"Pentacles."

The gypsy woman said in surprise, as if Star-Lord had just won a metaphysical lottery, "Whenever you encounter difficulties in life, hope and faith will be with you, and you will find that you will be like this goddess Just like embracing the stars in the sky, we embrace optimism.”

Star-Lord felt that this card suited his life.

He said to the other party: "When I encounter difficulties and obstacles in my life, my father is usually with me."

The gypsy woman looked at Star-Lord in surprise, thinking that the fat man in front of her unexpectedly had his own understanding of life.

Then she turned over the last card.

Star-Lord looked at the card in surprise and asked her, "What card is this?"

The card showed another little child, a flower-headed boy, being hung upside down by his heels, dangling upside down from a tree.

She told Star-Lord: "This is the Hanged Man. He expresses the difficult, painful and powerless moment, which means that you have a powerful setback in life."

Star-Lord: ".!"

"Why, what's on your mind?"

Peter asked a sullen Star-Lord as they drove back from the festival.

"He went to fortune-telling."

Azu "reported" to Peter from the side, "Dad, now Star-Lord himself can be considered a senior divination enthusiast."

"No, I'm not."

Star-Lord quickly explained to Peter, "I just, Dad, I just made sure to her whether I will succeed in losing weight."

"So what did she say?"

"She didn't say anything. She just said that I would encounter a setback and that it would be dangerous."

"Did she really say that?"

Peter didn't expect the other party to be so unscrupulous.

Is it really okay to scare children like this?

Aren't you afraid of setting off his business yourself?

"She's not telling the truth, Star-Lord."

Peter comforted him: "With this so-called psychic technique, they just look at the cards and then use the most mediocre explanation to confuse you. Even if it's not Tarot cards, change it to a flashy crystal ball, or through observation." The lines on your palms actually look the same.”

"Dad, I'm not afraid."

Star-Lord said to Peter: "Because I believe that Dad will help me, everything will be fine. If we trust each other, we will not be defeated by setbacks."

Star-Lord gave Peter a small slap on the ass.

"That's good."

Peter said while touching Star-Lord's hair.

Azu, who was leaning against the car window with his hand, groaned when he saw this scene.

night.

Peter had dinner with Star-Lord and Azu.

In addition to being busy looking for spaceships in the North Pole, Martian Manhunter has also met a fellow Martian, which has resulted in him rarely appearing on the farm recently.

Suddenly!

The ground shook violently, and the things on the table were shaken.

If the bottle containing juice falls over, the juice inside will spill out.

At the critical moment, Azu grabbed the container at lightning speed.

"dad."

Star-Lord, who was eating, swallowed nervously and looked at the shaking ceiling above his head.

"Is it an earthquake?"

Although it was an earthquake, he was not nervous.

Regardless of whether it is father or Azu, even if the house collapses in an earthquake, he believes that everyone will be fine.

"boom!"

Before Peter could speak, there was a dull crashing sound.

Then smoke and dust hit the room from the yard, as if something had fallen on the farm.

Peter immediately moved to the courtyard, and Azu and Star-Lord followed Peter as quickly as possible.

The moment he entered the courtyard, his eyes were caught by a leafy ash tree that suddenly appeared.

The ash tree appears inexplicably in the courtyard, giving people the feeling that it has already existed here, exuding a dense brilliance that people cannot look directly at.

Peter blinked and found that the ash tree had returned to its ordinary state.
