Mystery: Lucky One

Chapter 405 Chapter 88 "Let's talk about it on the way back"

"Should, should I?" Leo Master answered stutteringly and uncertainly.

Alice was very dissatisfied with this. She glared at Leo Master, turned around and left, leaving him with her back.

Leo Master followed subconsciously.

As they were about to step into the "Land Forsaken by the Gods", Alice untied the restraints on "Apollo", and a light like the morning sun floated from him and fell on the long bridge formed by dusk between the sea of ​​clouds. On the cliff, everyone was looking at their figures from afar.

"Is this his purpose?" Anderson asked Klein with a smile, "Where is that place?"

When Klein was hesitating whether to tell the truth, pea vines fell from the sky. Bernadette appeared in a forest of peas and looked at him and said:
“He didn’t decide that from the beginning.”

Her tone was firm, but her eyes were fixed on Klein.

Bernadette should know that it leads to the "God-Forsaken Land"... Klein realized this and met Bernadette's gaze. He replied without changing his expression:

“Maybe this is fate.”

Bernadette didn't say anything. Anderson opened his mouth as usual, but then he remembered the seven spells of bad luck and closed it again.

No one spoke first, and the surroundings fell silent again. In this silence, Klein vaguely realized something - he forgot to ask Alice where to find the potion formula!

Having lost Alice's selfless help, he had to start thinking about who else he could turn to.

In fact, it must be in Antigonus' notebook. I can ask the goddess for help like Alice did... No, I am not Alice. I have never protected the goddess, and I have nothing to exchange for gifts from the goddess.

At this moment, Klein had completely forgotten that he had taken Alice's seven doom spells and used this as an excuse to ask Anderson for 7000 pounds.

Of course, he shouldn't have cared about this. After all, the seemingly clear deal between them was actually a mess. Neither Klein nor Alice could figure out the deal.

So... what's the price?

Klein hadn't thought about it, and Alice certainly hadn't thought about it either. After all, as a creditor, she had nothing to worry about. She and Leo Master walked slowly towards the projection of the "Giant King's Court," one in front of the other.

Not long after, Alice and Leo Master arrived at the "Giant King's Court" projection and stood in front of the tallest building.

The building has a lost tower on one side and a round tower on the other. The main entrance is more than ten meters high. It is mainly gray-blue in color and is covered with symmetrical symbols, logos and patterns.

Alice stopped in front of the gate, looked up at the gate that was several times taller than her, and murmured:

“So high…

"Is this the giant?"

Leo Master stopped and stood behind her, saying in a fanatical tone:

"As long as you open this door and move forward under the Lord's gaze, you will reach the Lord's holy place!"

But I’m not here to find your Lord’s sanctuary… Alice complained in her heart, and turned her head to ask doubtfully: “Can we just push the door open? No need to knock?”

Leo Master's excited expression froze. He seemed to be unresponsive and did not understand Alice's train of thought.

"That's right..." Looking back at the road formed by dusk behind her, Alice nodded thoughtfully, "Your prayer should be 'knock on the door', and then the master will open the outer door and let you walk along the road to the inner door and come in by yourself... Hey, is there a door to the sanctuary? Then this sanctuary should have three entrances and be quite large..."

Leo Master didn't seem to understand what Alice said and stared at her blankly.

This reaction was very boring. Alice curled her lips and lost interest in teasing him. She frowned and asked another question:
"You are the one who pronounced the honorific name and opened the door. Will I be watched?"

Alice believed that there should be a way for her to isolate herself from the gaze of the "real creator", or at least not be affected.

But, it is better to have less trouble than more, and she still hopes that this thing will not happen.

Leo Master was stunned for a moment, then answered seriously:

"I don't know... This is the first time I've been so close to the Lord. I've never had this experience before..."

He spoke incoherently, to the point that he stuttered and even had grammatical errors - it was obvious that he was really excited.

Alice shook her head, realizing that Leo Master couldn't give an answer to this question either, so she stepped aside and motioned for Leo Master to open the door.

The door in the dream was not locked. Leo Master just reached out and pushed it, and the gray-blue door opened.

Unexpectedly, this scene, which should have been exciting, did not have any animation and was far less shocking than the scene where dusk was sucked in. It seemed that they had just pushed open an ordinary door - that's all.

The sanctuary he had been searching for for half his life was now so close for the first time. Leo Master was so excited that he took a step forward. Then, he merged into the gate like water and disappeared in front of Alice.

The gray-blue door was still open, Leo Master's figure disappeared, and the scene in front of him was like a frozen painting - if Alice didn't remember what the door looked like when it was closed.

Alice looked back one last time. Klein and Anderson were still in front of the cliff, with another figure standing next to them. Alice recognized it as Bernadette.

She suddenly remembered the "Wheel of Fortune" blasphemy card that Bernadette promised to give her, and the "get-rich-accessory" she threw to Klein - she wondered if the monocle was ready?
It should be ready. Alice remembered that Klein said that he would give her the monocle when they left the ocean and returned.

Alice still remembered that Klein had promised her that as long as she didn't make any weird suggestions, he would give her a gift after she returned. She did it, but she hadn't received the gift yet - because they hadn't returned yet.

She still remembered that she planned to cause some minor troubles on the way back to irritate Mr. Fool, such as participating in Frank Lee's experiment, or giving Anderson double the bad luck...

Too bad she didn't return.

Alice couldn't see their expressions clearly, and she thought they couldn't see them clearly either, but she still smiled and murmured in a low voice, as if to herself or to them:
"When I get back...I want to try Intis-flavored ice cream."

Her voice was so soft that it could not reach the top of the cliff and was blown away by the wind into the sea of ​​clouds. It fell into the dusk and disappeared.

After saying this, Alice turned around and resolutely stepped into the gray-blue door that had been pushed open.
