Mystery: Lucky One

This is indeed a very critical issue, but it is not a problem that needs to be solved immediately - at least so far, the day when the dream comes true seems to be a long way off.

Therefore, Alice just made a note of this matter in her heart, and then began to try to recall what was discussed in the previous topic.

...Strange, how did we get here?

Alice scratched her head, remembering Audrey the Justice's question, and turned around to give a slightly more formal answer:
“Just now…just now those were just jokes.

"Bernadette is Roselle's eldest daughter and the 'mysterious queen' of the sea... Oh, and she also seems to have founded the Dawn of Elements!

"Um……"

Alice frowned and glanced at Cattleya from the Moss Ascetic Order, and suddenly realized something.

The child he raised joined a hostile organization. No wonder he was so angry that he kicked her out of the house... Huh? Wait, why does it sound like a rebellious girl ran away from home...

Alice blinked and asked a serious question:

"After becoming a Beyonder, will the growth of the mind slow down or even stagnate?"

This……

After hearing this question, Alger, the Hanged Man, looked at Alice hesitantly.

Alice looked at him in confusion. From his suggestive look, she seemed to realize something. She raised her hand and pointed at herself, blinking and asking:

"……I?

"But in my case... uh, I actually want to ask, will low- and mid-sequence Beyonders also have similar effects?"

She looked around, and the "Hermit" Cattleya, who didn't understand what she was asking, answered her doubts:

"Normally not."

So... So Ms. Hermit is not a rebellious girl who ran away from home?
Alice shook her head in slight disappointment and leaned back in her chair.

This meant he would stop talking. Klein glanced at Alice, then controlled the "world" to look at the "sun" Derrick and laughed softly:
"I have the formula for the 'Notary' potion you requested."

"Thank you, Mr. World. As agreed, I will keep this debt in mind and wait for your request." Sun Derrick said sincerely.

“Okay.” Klein pushed The World to answer while asking him to pretend to ask Mr. Fool to materialize.

Alice rolled her eyes mentally.

It didn't take long for the potion formula to come into the hands of the little "Sun". He took the formula with joy and quickly read the contents.

Without waiting for anyone else to speak, The World looked at Alger, The Hanged Man, and spoke again:

"You know, the recipe and main ingredients for the 'Ocean Songster' potion you requested are now available."

"Ah?" Alice's eyes widened. "You... killed a 'Singer of the Sea'? No, you wouldn't kill anyone from the Church of Storms, would you?"

Alice begins to wonder whether killing a would-be high-ranking member of the Church of the Storm or stealing the Church of the Storm's donation box would anger the church more.

Her question was exactly the same as that of Audrey the Justice, Alger the Hanged Man, and the others. The World slowly scanned them and replied with a low laugh:

"It does not come from the Church of the Storm."

...So he really did kill a "Singer of the Sea"?
Upon realizing this news, Cattleya, the Hermit, who knew that the World Gehrman Sparrow had killed the Slayer Gilchies, felt a sense of magic.

She did not think that this was Alice's credit, because no one knew better than her that Alice had long passed through the "Giant King's Court" in her dream and entered the "God-Forsaken Land" - although she only had a vague consciousness, she remembered the whole thing.

Even without Miss Destiny, is he strong enough... Or is it because he is strong enough that Miss Destiny noticed him?

No, this reason alone cannot explain Miss Fate's attitude towards the "world". It is no longer a preference of the gods for mortals. In His eyes, the "world" is the same as Him, just like...

The Hermit Cattleya resisted the urge to look at the head of the bronze table, gritted her teeth and lowered her head.

Enough, don't go into this matter!

The Hermit Cattleya warned herself solemnly in her heart before she let out a breath and raised her head again.

"The Hanged Man" Alger breathed a sigh of relief at the denial of "The World" Gehrman Sparrow, but soon frowned again.

——He should think about how to reward the "world".

After a few seconds of silence, Alger, the Hanged Man, turned sideways and looked at the top of the bronze table.
"Dear Mr. Fool, I request to communicate with the 'world' alone."

Inside the gray fog, Klein's eyes lit up slightly. He was quite expectant in his heart, but all he showed was a slight nod, and then he blocked out the senses of others.

After knowing that Alice could see through this shield, Klein simply didn't bother to put in the effort, so in addition to the pretentious Mr. Fool, there was also a Miss Destiny in the audience.

Of course, Alger, the Hanged Man, would have no objection. After waiting for two seconds, he turned back and said to The World:

“I exchanged it for the coordinates of an original island unknown to others.

“Not only are there many extraordinary creatures that have become extinct in the northern and southern continents, but there is also an ancient relic of unknown age.

“At the beginning, huh, I discovered it with Qilingos. At that time, we didn’t have the ability to explore in depth, but he found some traces and suspected that there was something very precious and important hidden in the ruins. He believed that its value would not be less than one of the cards made by Emperor Roselle.

“I am not as strong as Qi Lingos, and I am not as deep as he is. I have no idea what he saw. I can only guess the situation from some words he said inadvertently.

“There are traces of the existence of extraordinary demigod-level creatures on it. It should be of great value to you.

"I can swear to Mr. Fool that I am not lying."

Alice blinked and couldn't help but interrupt:
"Why don't you swear to me?"

At least I am truly a resurrected god, and not like you fools, who have only just...resurrected to the level of Sequence 5.

The Hanged Man Alger paused suspiciously before changing his words:
"I am willing to swear to Mr. Fool and Miss Fate."

I hope Miss Destiny’s criteria for judging “breaking an oath” are the same as those of normal people… If not, I hope Mr. Fool can control Miss Destiny… Although Alger appeared calm on the surface, he couldn’t help but become anxious in his heart.

The World seemed not to notice their conversation and chuckled:

"make a deal."

The Hanged Man Alger did not immediately ask for the recipe for the Ocean Singer potion, but continued:

"I have a prerequisite. I hope that when you explore that primitive island for the first time, I will be your companion. With Mr. Fool watching over everything, you don't have to worry about me having any bad intentions."

After a pause, he added:
"You can also bring Miss Fortune if you wish."

He obviously knew about the rumor that "World" Gehrman Sparrow was on board the "Future" with a blonde girl.

So far, the girl has been confirmed to be an angel in rumors, with extremely strange abilities. It is said that the former "strongest hunter" Anderson Hood was nearly choked to death by his own saliva because he offended her.

The rumor that the "world" Gehrman Sparrow was kept by an underage girl disappeared in this rumor, because not many people dared to talk about an angel behind his back. Only a very few people would whisper a few words about Gehrman Sparrow behind his back, saying that he was in this situation because of his shit luck.

The Hanged Man Alger scoffed at this. After all, Mr. Fool’s criteria for selecting followers obviously could not be who was better at raising children—with Miss Destiny’s personality, it would be more appropriate for him to choose someone who could beat her.

However, from this perspective, it seems that Germans Paro really cannot beat Miss Fate... Is he really good at raising children?
The voice of the World interrupted Alger's thoughts:

"If you want to take her with you, then I'm afraid the price will be different...

"However, I do need some companions when I go to dangerous places, and I hope you have enough skills to keep up."

Alger was not annoyed by his tone and said with relief:
"So, I hope your first exploration will be after I successfully advance. Of course, if I lose control due to the potion, this agreement will naturally be invalidated."

"Okay." The World replied nonchalantly.

Alice looked up and down at the Hanged Man, Alger, curiously, then turned to the World and asked:
"Do you need my help?"

Klein understood what she meant without any difficulty and shook his head to stop her dangerous thoughts:

“I’m sure he can bring more to the table in the future.”

That makes some sense… Alice silently withdrew her gaze.

The Hanged Man, Alger, felt a cold sweat on his back. It was not until this moment that he understood what Alice had just said. She probably wanted to "help" him lose control and let the "world" monopolize the coordinates of the island.

Alger glanced tremblingly at Mr. Fool who was sitting there. After a pause, he asked Mr. Fool to help him materialize the parchment with the information about the island.

Alice was not interested in this. Klein took the parchment, quickly glanced through it, and raised his head slightly and said:

"The potion formula and main ingredients will be given to you after the party."

"Okay." Alger responded calmly.

The two of them had a private conversation that ended here. The Hermit Cattleya withdrew her gaze from the World and turned her head to the Magician Fors and said:

"The meteorite crystal has been obtained, 60 grams for 600 pounds."

So fast... Fors was surprised and embarrassed when she remembered her balance. She quickly decided to borrow money from Hugh Dilcha for emergency and make money as soon as possible after the promotion.

"Okay," after careful consideration, Magician Fors said to Hermit Cattleya, "We will trade at this time tomorrow."

After she finished speaking, without waiting for the Hermit Cattleya to continue, she turned to Alice with a bitter face and asked:
"Miss Fortune, can I ask for a piece of good fortune from you to help me make money?"

Alice blinked and inexplicably thought of the "get-rich accessories" that she hadn't seen for a long time.

Then again, there were many people on Earth who liked to spend money on things like fortune charms... But what she suggested was indeed a good idea.

Make a one-time item like a fortune charm, clearly mark the price, for example, buy a 30-pound item for 50 pounds, and then sell it to others. This way I can make money without asking for anything from fate... Hmm? Wait, something seems wrong.

This feeling is a little familiar... Alice blinked and blurted out:

“Isn’t this money laundering?”

...?
Except for Klein in the gray fog, no one understood what Alice said - because she stiffly put two unrelated words together. Most of the members of the Tarot Club were wondering how to launder money?
As for Derrick, he was stuck even more - Klein spent some time connecting the two words with Chinese. He soon discovered that the two words could not be translated into Giant language either. After a little hesitation, he chose the same translation method as Alice, putting "cleaning" and "money" together.

No, this feels more like cashing out... uh, how do you say cashing out?
Alice blinked, stretched out her hand and knocked on the table and said:
"It's okay, but...

"What price are you prepared to pay for such good fortune? Oh, and how much money are you prepared to make - or how long will it take to make money?"

I can choose this myself? Then can I... The brave idea popped into her mind for a moment, and she quickly remembered the experience that inspired her - Mr. "The Hanged Man" who was warned that he could only earn 30 pounds.

"220 pounds." Fors carefully reported the amount he still needed.

"It's not a lot..." Alice nodded thoughtfully, "Then what price are you prepared to pay?"

Magician Fors paused and asked hesitantly:
"What do you need?"

She really couldn't think of anything she could give.

"How about..." Alice lowered her head and began to think, "You... well, I can't seem to think of it... wait."

She suddenly remembered what happened before entering the "Forsaken Land of Gods" and turned to ask the "World":
"Do you still owe me a present?"

…Oh no, I forgot about this!
Klein suddenly remembered this - before taking Alice on board the Future, he had promised to give Alice a gift on the return trip.

However, on the way back, Alice jumped off the cliff and entered the "God-forsaken Land", so the matter ended in vain.

Now...Is Alice coming back soon?

...Is there still one sentence missing from writing Alice's honorific name?
Anxiety crept into Klein’s heart, but The World remained calm in both voice and expression. It nodded without changing its expression and said:

"yes.

"I did promise to prepare a gift for you - after you return." (End of this chapter)
