Mystery: Lucky One

Of course, Klein couldn't beat Alice in pure strength, and he had no intention of competing with Alice. Under Alice's astonished eyes, he became fatter and shorter.

Alice withdrew her hand in surprise.

She stared in amazement as Klein held the now ordinary crystal ball, restored his original size while walking, opened the door and walked out, before she remembered to follow him.

Klein casually threw the crystal ball to the boss beside him. After they walked out of the "Whale Dance Frenzy", Klein took out his pocket watch to check the time, then asked Alice:

"Do you want to go play for a while or continue to follow me?"

Alice thought for a moment and realized that she had no place she wanted to go, so she said, "I don't know."

The corner of Klein's mouth twitched. He didn't bother to pay attention to her and turned away.

Alice followed Klein into a carriage and listened to Klein announce the name of the "Lodar" bar. She was as quiet as a puppet throughout the whole process.

It was not until Klein took out two 2-sule notes and handed them to the driver that Alice looked at Klein hesitantly.

Feysac should obviously have its own currency. Alice was not worried about the circulation of currency near the harbor, but in her impression, there were exchange rates between different currencies.

Will it be too little or too much... Alice cast a hesitant look at the driver. The driver took the two 1-sule notes with a happy face. After checking them several times, he smiled at them with wrinkles on his face:

“Thank you, thank you for your generosity!”

...Definitely too much.

Alice shook her head, reached out and pushed Klein, and whispered, "You seem to have given too much."

The driver's smile froze for a moment. Klein cast a cold and emotionless gaze at the driver. Ten seconds later, Klein got off the carriage with 1 silver and 5 kopecks.

This was the driver's change.

In this world, bars near docks or factory areas often sell lunch and dinner, so they open around 11 o'clock.

In the "Lodar" bar, many idle adventurers gathered in front of the bar, ordered strong liquor, smoked fish and greasy soups and vegetables, and ate them with bread, enjoying themselves very much.

After complaining about Feysac's drinking habits in his heart, Klein walked to the bar and started ordering food:
"Four slices of toasted sausage, two servings of smoked whale meat, two servings of vegetable soup, a glass of Glasgow beer, a glass of...are there any soft drinks here?"

He pulled Alice forward.

Hearing Klein's request, the bartender frowned. After seeing Alice, he showed a slightly surprised expression, then shook his head and said:
"No."

Klein turned his head to look at Alice. Before he could say anything, he saw Alice rush forward and say:
“Don’t listen to him!
"I want the strongest wine you have here!"

The bartender's mouth twitched. Just as he was about to ignore Alice's request, he heard Klein say in a deep voice:
"give her."

The bartender paused for a moment, looked at Klein, and finally couldn't help asking:
"A man from Loen is no match for a...a little girl?"

Klein didn't explain. He turned his gaze to Alice. After Alice stared at him for two seconds, she released the aura of the mythical creature.

The entire bar fell silent in an instant, and everyone's eyes could not help but turn to Alice. Alice looked at the bartender, whose face was slightly pale, and said:
"I want the strongest wine you have here."

"Yes, sir," the bartender said briefly.

Alice blinked twice, suppressed the pressure on her body, and looked at Klein.

"Go find an empty seat," Klein told her. Alice then ran to find a seat and waited for Klein to bring her the food and wine she had ordered after paying.

After getting the wine, Alice couldn't wait to open the bottle with a corkscrew - unlike Loen, the people of Feysac seemed to like blowing on the bottle when drinking.

A strong smell of alcohol hit Alice's nose. After two seconds of silence, the bottle of wine that had just been opened returned to its unopened state.

She pushed the drink to Crane.

Klein glared at Alice. He was already used to this, so he didn't argue with Alice and just pushed the bottle aside.

The next thing was entirely Klein's business. He ate while listening to what the people around him were talking about. Unlike Alice, it was obvious that she only had food on her mind.

So while collecting information, Klein glanced at Alice and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Fortunately, she is the "fate" path...

——If this had been any other way, she probably wouldn’t even have left any ashes.

...So who spread the fake news that I was kept by her? !

Klein was shocked. He gritted his teeth and looked at Alice, deciding to talk to her about avoiding suspicion when he got back.

…Is it really useful?

Such doubts flashed across his mind, and the Gargas specialty thick vegetable soup made with beets, onions, cabbage, carrots, fish, and cream was served. Then, a voice caught Klein's attention.

He heard an adventurer lower his voice and say to his companions around him:

"Have you heard? There is a relic from the Fourth Epoch east of Gargas."

Klein turned his head to look at Alice and found that she was pouring the thick vegetable soup into her mouth.

...It's normal for children.

After his tongue circled around her teeth, he finally couldn't help but reach out and pat Alice.

Alice raised her head in confusion. Klein pointed in the direction of the adventurer and signaled her to listen carefully.

So Alice put the soup back on the table and sat up straight, afraid that others would not know that she was eavesdropping.

Klein opened his mouth, but eventually gave up on trying to persuade him and listened carefully.

"No! Who discovered it?" the adventurer's companion asked in surprise and curiosity.

The adventurer glanced around and said without much concern:
"Gallus found it, as you know, by the 'Navigator' who was good at diving.

"He was drunk and was blown off the deck by a storm and sank to the bottom of the sea. Who knew that some steel building wreckage was found there? It must have been made by humans!"

"And then?" his companion demanded.

The adventurer laughed softly and said, "Gallas followed the wreckage and found a huge abandoned underwater well of unknown depth. It was already filled with seawater, but it still gave him a very deep and terrifying feeling. With the storm above, this might lead to the center of the earth.

"He said there seemed to be something inside that was calling him, but he didn't dare to explore and floated to the surface in fear."

A huge deep-sea well... a strange feeling of "attraction"... This may not be a relic from the Quaternary Period. It may be from the Tertiary Period, the Secondary Period, or even... (End of this chapter)
