Mystery: Lucky One

Alice came out of the captain's room. The pirates who were surrounding her had dispersed. She rolled her eyes slightly and began to look for Amon's three parts on the ship.

Amon, where are you... No, Johnsen, Danitz, Blue Walls, where are you all?

The pirate ship that combined magic and technology did not require all crew members to stay at their posts. Most of the time, only one or two people were needed to work - so Alice quickly found Jodson who was slacking off.

He was really slacking off. When Alice went over, he was pulling an oversized children's fishing net out of the water. There were three big fish jumping around in it.

"Would you like to try it?" He turned around and saw Alice, so he invited her.

After Alice stared at him for two seconds, one of the three fish still struggling in the net suddenly jumped up, swung its tail, and splashed fishy sea water all over him, and regained its freedom.

Alice laughed out loud while holding her stomach.

Jodson wiped the water off his face, looked at Alice thoughtfully, and asked curiously, "You did it?"

"Don't talk nonsense," Alice said confidently, "Do you have any evidence?"

Without evidence, Jodson remained silent.

Alice quickly turned around and prepared to flee the scene to find the next interesting thing, but was suddenly stopped:

"Alice? You don't mind me calling you that, do you?

"I've always wanted to ask... where did the clothes you're wearing come from?"

Alice reached out and tugged at her clothes, then raised her head and said seriously, "This is a commemoration of my beautiful youth."

Jodson gently reminded: "You don't look like an adult..."

Alice looked at Johnson hesitantly and decided to use a more euphemistic way of saying it: "The first word of my name is 'the eternally innocent child'..."

"What's your name?" Johnson's expression became hesitant.

Alice blinked and said quickly, "Oh, I just remembered that the captain has something to ask me. I'll be leaving now!"

She quickly turned around and fled the scene to look for her next target.

Apart from Edwina, Alice only knew three people on this ship. She looked at Blue Walls's monocle from a distance and decided to go and cause trouble for Danitz.

……

"So, this is why you came to see me?" Danitz was stunned after listening to Alice's thoughts, his eyes became extremely angry.

"Right," Alice said matter-of-factly, "Find me something to do, or... I'll find you something to do?"

"What's the matter?" Danitz asked subconsciously.

Alice turned to Danitz, gave him a mysterious smile, and then turned and left under Danitz's puzzled look.

After Danitz was stunned for two seconds, he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. He hurriedly spoke out to stop Alice from leaving:
"Wait! You... Ouch!"

His left foot tripped over his right foot, and his body fell forward, his knees heavily kneeling on the ground, his head hitting the ground, and he instinctively supported himself with his hands.

Alice turned around at this time, looked down at him, and said in a deep voice: "No need to be polite, please stand up."

This sentence was said in Chinese, and Danitz did not understand the meaning. Of course, this did not prevent him from realizing Alice's ability to stir up trouble again, and he tried hard to get up from the ground.

After climbing up halfway and sliding back down to his knees, Danitz finally realized that if he didn't find something for Alice to do, he might have to crawl here until Alice got bored of this game. "You can go find the captain," Danitz suggested. "The captain has a collection room that might have something you're interested in, and she should be happy to introduce her collection to you."

……

"Collection room?" After hearing what Alice said, Edwina was stunned for a moment, "Are you interested in these?"

"No," Alice shook her head. "But I love stories. Different stories."

Edwina nodded thoughtfully and said, "In that case, have you heard of the treasure in the sea?"

"I know!" Alice raised her hand as if answering a teacher's question, then said, "The Key of Death, the Fountain of Youth, the Legacy of the Solomon Empire, the Ghost Empire, the Lost Newins, and..."

Alice paused for a moment before she said with longing, "And my favorite, 'The Sinking of the Laurel'!"

Edwina remembered German Sparrow, who had invited her to hunt the "Blood Admiral" together.

...We are indeed a family.

Edwina accepted this setting with mixed feelings, nodded and said, "What do you think of these treasures?"

Alice was silent for a moment, pursed her lips and said:
"If I had just woken up, I would have thought about going on an adventure at sea to look for these treasures...

“If it were now, I’d wonder why they went undiscovered for so long.

"Just like the 'Sinking Laurel'... With the Beyonders here, it shouldn't be difficult to find and salvage it, right?"

Just woke up... Edwina, who caught the key words, remained calm, glanced at Alice and said:

"In that case, follow me.

"Before this, you may have heard some news, for example, I found the 'Key of Death'..."

"Is this true?" Alice asked curiously.

"In fact, I think the key belongs to the giant." Edwina said as she led Alice into the cabin and went to the second floor.

"Giant..." Alice was slightly stunned and thought of the little sun far away in the Silver City.

"Yes," Edwina nodded, "This is the conclusion I came to based on historical documents and other items on the ship."

Alice looked at her with sparkling eyes.

Sure enough, she is more suitable for listening to stories with knowledge points rather than normal classes. Her decision can be easily changed, but she must take the initiative to change her mind after her interest is aroused...

Edwina nodded in her heart and continued:

“The documents show that during the Fourth Epoch, there were still many giants active. Some converted to the God of War, while others scattered around and became targets of hunting by humans.

"One of the tribes built a ship and tried to go out to sea to find the lost court of the giants, but they never returned.

"The shipwreck we found and some of the items inside are very similar to the antiquities they left behind in their original settlements. Therefore, we have enough reason to believe that the key belongs to the giants and is likely to point to their lost royal court before the catastrophe."

As she spoke, she stopped in front of a half-open door, gently stretched out her hand to push it open, then turned her head and said to Alice:

"We're here." (End of chapter)
