Mystery: Lucky One

Wasn’t he so scared that he went to the church for help before? Why is he here again…

Alice frowned and looked along the prayer aisle, only to find that it was a similar ceremony site, with the same bottle of potion and even the prayers were similar.

So... why did he start praying to her again... No, for the Church of Evernight, it was actually quite normal to pray to her again.

...So how should she give him courage?
Alice looked around blankly, then asked again:

"I can only give you good luck... I, I don't know how to give you courage."

I can't really pour the potion into him...

He did not hear Alice's mumbling. This time, the strange praying person did not get up and run away in fear. Instead, she continued to repeat what she had said before:

"I pray that you will grant me luck, I pray that you will grant me courage, I pray that you will allow me to drink the potion smoothly..."

...a repeater?
Alice listened to the man's plea with confusion. Just as she was about to ask something, she heard the man change the subject:
“I can’t remember how many times I’ve tried this… but no matter how many times, the ending seems to be the same.

“Every time, I couldn’t take the potion smoothly due to various reasons.

“In the beginning, there were all kinds of accidents, such as mistakes and problems during the preparation of potions - these were also the most common accidents.

"Sometimes other accidents happen. For example, one time a nasty thief stole a bottle of 'Thief' potion... Ha, what a perfect match."

"After this happened so many times, I gradually lost the courage to take the potion.

“I always feel that this may be fate’s favor to me, allowing me to avoid taking potions, otherwise terrible things would happen.

"Like, you know, I might lose control...

"Every time I thought of this possibility, I had even less courage to take the potion, until the thief who stole the 'Thief' potion not long ago appeared in front of me again.

"That damn thief left me a ritual. He told me that there is a sleeping goddess of fate who controls the fate of this world. Those who wake her up will be blessed by her. And I am the one chosen by fate.

"When I first heard this, I was so excited that I believed it. I tried to perform the ceremony she told me. The moment you responded to me, I suddenly woke up and realized that I might have been deceived.

"I think you saw me running away in such an ugly way. I'm very sorry, I didn't mean for you to witness it. At that time, I didn't know that you were the goddess's favored one. I thought my ritual pointed to an unknown evil god, so I hurried to the church for help.

"If you are willing to help me take the potion without any grudges, I am willing to donate some money to the church to help.

"Of course, this is not a deal or a threat. I am a devout believer of the goddess and I often donate to the church..."

Due to various reasons, the potion could not be taken successfully... Alice blinked, and the man's possible future appeared before her.

...He is right.

The future scenes were almost all out of control, the possibility of becoming an Extraordinary Person was very small, and most of them had various sequelae - in a sense, he could really be said to be favored by fate.

But it can also be seen that he must really want to become a Beyonder... Otherwise, he wouldn't fail again and again, and buy materials again and again to try to make potions. After all, buying potions costs a lot... Hey, how much money does he plan to donate?

In the last second, Alice was still thinking about the possibility that the thief who stole the 'Thief' potion was Sylvia. In the next second, she was distracted by the man's words and began to think about how much money the man planned to donate to the church.

She didn't pay much attention to the man's threatening words that he uttered by mistake. After all, she understood this kind of thing - daily donations are daily donations, and requests are requests. The two are definitely different!

She was actually concerned about another issue.

Why don’t you donate to me?
As soon as this thought came to her mind, Alice's eyes lit up - yes, it was clearly her job, why not charge her?
She suppressed her desire to ask the man how much money he was going to donate, and instead chuckled and said:

"There is a price to pay for asking for help from fate... Are you ready for the price?"

The man was slightly startled, and Alice followed the prayer passage and passed the contents of the sacrificial ceremony into his mind, saying calmly:

"Let me see first if the price you pay can satisfy me."

After hesitating for a moment, Alice still didn't do something ridiculous like asking for money, and decided to let him guess on his own.

After all... he was planning to pray for the favor of fate. How could he not guess the will of fate and figure out what price fate wanted?

Miss Fate nodded complacently, and then began to think about another thing.

...The goddess is obviously my favorite, right?!
Alice stamped her feet, very dissatisfied with the status she had been given - her follower had become a god, but she had not, and she had not even become a subordinate god!

...This kind of thing must not be known to Amon.

Thinking of how she had laughed at Amon, a born mythical creature who had not yet become a god, Alice lowered her head silently.

"But..." Alice put her hand on her chin, "Stealing the Thief's potion and becoming a Thief... this is really a dramatic thing."

Knowing the names of the two sequences after "Thief", Alice can make more inferences:

"If this line of thought is followed, then her 'swindler' potion...or the potion formula and materials, were obtained through fraud?
"What about the 'Cryptologist'? What secret is she going to unlock... Well, she probably can't get the Cryptologist's potion, right?"

Thinking of the clues she had given, Alice was silent for a while. She took a breath and said:

“Actually, this can be considered as a decryption… There is something wrong with seeing through that clue, seeing through… um… seeing through my own cheat code?

"This should also be considered a decryption, right? Uncover the disguise and see the truth...

"If this line of thought is followed, she will definitely not be able to obtain the potion from the 'Cryptologist' because she has already failed and she has complete faith in 'Cassandra'.

"However, if she really believed me and went to explore Amon's Tomb, she should be successful in another sense...

"After all, if the exploration is successful, she will have the potential to become a demigod; if the exploration fails, she will become a demigod..." (End of this chapter)
