Mystery: Lucky One

The words formed by the ashes lost the residual warmth of the flame, revealing a cold truth to Alice - the goddess did not trust her.

This is the most fundamental reason.

This was a matter of course, because even Alice herself felt that she was not trustworthy, but this did not prevent her from making a note for the goddess in her little notebook.

Although she actually can't and won't do anything about it.

Unable to think of anything else to do, Alice, who had nothing to do, focused her attention on Dunn.

She really wanted to know why the Captain's first reaction was to write to Ms. Daly.

She waited and waited, but until the next night, Dunn still didn't get a reply from Ms. Daly, but met Ms. Daly directly.

Watching Ms. Daly walk into the church from a distance, and then watching Ms. Daly sitting in the front row of the church seats and praying quietly, Alice blinked, hid herself, and sat down not far from Ms. Daly, imitating her posture.

It really feels better to eavesdrop in person...

Alice let out a breath quietly and waited in her seat.

Although you will get help if you knock on the church door at night, the church does have closing hours - when the door is closed but there is someone on duty.

The existence of the Sleepless Ones has greatly reduced the personnel burden of the Church of Night. If they just sit in the church on duty, these Sequence 9 Beyonders only need to sleep for three to four hours, and one person can do the duty of two people.

However, it seemed that Dunn did not intend to be the Extraordinary on duty that night. After nightfall, he closed the door of the church and walked to the seat where Daly was.

Daly also put down her hand as if she had noticed something, opened her eyes, raised her head and looked at Dunn with a smile. Alice heard her ask:
"What's wrong, Dunn? You said in your letter that you wanted to see me... It sounds like something happened to you?"

Alice shuddered at the sound.

This was not Daly's most common frivolous tone. Instead, it carried a gentle concern that Alice had never seen before. She quickly opened her eyes in fear and turned to look at the expressions of Dunn and Daly.

The atmosphere between them revealed a sense of harmony. Just by looking at each other, there was an inexplicable atmosphere that no one could interfere with, as if they should be one.

For a moment, Alice felt that she should not be here, but should be lying in the coffin in Raphael's cemetery.

What happened next further confirmed her thoughts. She watched Dunn sitting next to Daley, sighed, and asked Daley:
"Can you accompany me to Raphael Cemetery?"

Daly turned her head to look at Dunn at the intersection. She didn't speak immediately, and there was no physical contact between the two of them, but Alice inexplicably felt that there was an invisible thing flowing between them.

Alice blinked her eyes, and she had a vague guess. As her mind moved, various possibilities about the future unfolded, and Alice saw what she wanted to see.

It was a wedding—Alice thought it couldn't be too far away.

Everything looked familiar. Alice watched them wearing wedding dresses and suits, exchanging rings and taking vows in front of the priest, and finally throwing down the wreath... This was exactly the wedding style she was familiar with.

She sat there in a trance, looking at Dunn and Daly in front of her. Suddenly, a new idea slowly emerged in her brain which had almost stopped working.

Can I be the captain's child...

...Will the captain stop me from eating ice cream?
Alice drooped her head again.

But when exactly did the Captain and Ms. Daly…?
How did they get together? Who confessed? It's really strange. Obviously, there was a little bit before... Well, there may not be no traces, or maybe I didn't notice it.

Alice looked at the two of them in a trance for a long while. After they left the church hand in hand, she decided to share this shocking news with Klein.

Delivering the message through prayer would not allow her to appreciate the expression on the Respected Mr. Fool's face when he heard the news, so Alice did not choose to pray or use any other method to deliver the message - she wanted to save this surprise for the next meeting.

Well, a meeting above the gray fog is still a meeting.

Alice returned to St. Samuel Church with shock at the news, sat in front of Archbishop Anthony, and talked to him about the topic that she had not finished before:
“Well, I want to ask something.

"Can I make up my own identity in the Holy Scriptures? Are there no restrictions or anything?"

This question alerted Archbishop Anthony. He glanced at Alice and replied, "No, generally speaking."

Generally speaking, no... Alice's mouth twitched and she nodded.
"I actually want to ask, something like, the night is my favorite..."

Before she finished her words, Archbishop Anthony's gentle expression disappeared completely, leaving only a cold stare.

Alice swallowed nervously and finished her words:

"This kind of thing, even if it's true, shouldn't be written down, right...?"

fact……?
Alice's arrogance and insolence can be seen from the fact that she robbed the donation box of the Storm Church. If we consider her character, this matter may not be without the possibility of nonsense.

But she said it was true...

Anthony's intuition told him that this might not be a lie.

This, this is really... At a certain moment, Archbishop Anthony had the urge to find someone to sit here to replace him.

——He was really afraid that Miss Fate would reveal some more "facts".

While he was lost in thought, Alice grew impatient and waved at his face, trying to draw his attention back:

"You, are you still listening?

"Isn't this something you can't talk about?"

She paused and added:
"If you are like this because of what I just said... the me now, uh... if you are willing, I should be able to erase your memory?
"That's not right. After you lost your memory, wouldn't you also forget 'you volunteered'? No, if you just lost a whole section of memory, you shouldn't be able to tell.

"Well, do you need it?"

"No need," Anthony refused calmly, "Such statements should not be allowed."

Alice felt a little disappointed for some reason. She curled her lips and said:
"Well, then - the goddess's favored one, the wandering saint."

"Saint?" Anthony glanced at Alice.

He didn't know the exact sequence of this lady of destiny, but in the chaotic news on the sea, most people believed that Alice was an angel, but she was different from most angels - she did not call herself "Your Highness", but "Your Majesty". Many people were curious about which god she represented, but from her attitude all along, Anthony judged that the true god behind her was definitely not a goddess.

At least not from her perspective.

In addition, there is a slightly more reliable speculation about Alice's specific sequence - people speculate that she is a "prophet" because according to her own claim, she swallowed a "0" level seal from the "School of Life".

However, Anthony is actually very confused now, because he has not forgotten that Alice said that Kuroyoru was her favorite - although the specific circumstances of this matter need to be verified, but, she was just a "lucky person" at the beginning...

However, he is not just an ordinary "lucky person"...

Thinking of the files on the Megose incident in Tingen City that he had later found, Anthony felt that it made sense.

——A "lucky person" would not normally be lucky enough to let a vessel of an evil god fall to its death.

After the incident report in Tingen came out, there were two main doubts.

One is that the two extraordinary people who died on the scene did not leave any extraordinary characteristics. In the report, the church judged at the time that Ince Zangwill took away the extraordinary characteristics, although this behavior was puzzling... and so on.

Anthony suddenly realized something.

During the Megaos incident, there were two Beyonders who fought with Megaos and died on the spot. Neither of them had any Beyonder characteristics. Now, one of them was standing in front of him, and the other...

Is he really dead?

Anthony felt a drop of cold sweat sliding down his forehead. He didn't dare to guess any further and focused his attention on another suspicious point.

Another doubt is obvious. The way Megaus died is full of doubts. The ending at the scene makes people speculate an impossible fact - Megaus, who fell accidentally, was cut in half by her own "weapon".

It is undeniable that with the strength of Tingen's Night Hunters at the time, this was indeed the only way to effectively harm or even kill Megosaurus, except for Saint Selina's ashes. However, this method was a bit...

But if there was an angel or even a higher being who might have been the path of "destiny" mixed in the Nighthawks at that time, everything would make sense.

Alice noticed Anthony's doubts about her sequence. She spread her hands and asked Anthony:

"Even if it is written in the holy book that I am a saint or an angel, will you really give me the corresponding authority?"

Anthony didn't say anything.

In this case, silence was already an answer. Alice shook her head and smiled at Anthony:
"I don't get paid, and I don't have the authority, so it doesn't matter what I fill in - just fill in Saint for me, after all, I just..."

After all, she had just taken the potion of the "Mage of Doom" not long ago. After all, she seemed to have mentioned saints when she was joking with Klein before. After all, she actually had no experience of being a saint in life, so it would be nice to write it down on paper...

Of course, these are original ideas.

After realizing that the goddess didn't trust him as much as Klein did, this even took on another meaning - she called herself the Angel of Fools, but was only willing to admit that she was a Saint of the Church of Evernight.

This means that if Klein is ultimately dissatisfied with the goddess's arrangement, if there is a possibility that Klein and the goddess might fall out - she will choose Klein.

However, this is something that will happen a very long time in the future. At least that’s what Alice thinks now. For Mr. Fool, who is a Sequence 5, to ascend to a True God, even though it may take decades or even hundreds of years, it will take at least a dozen years, until the eve of Doomsday, right? !

...I hope Klein can be promoted to an angel soon, so that he can still be my mother in time.

If you can't catch up, consider...

Alice remembered the Captain and Ms. Daly exchanging rings in the prophecy scene, and moved this option to second place.

——Although the sequence is not high enough, the captain and Ms. Daly are from the church. The goddess doesn’t want to give birth herself, but she can’t just ignore someone in her own church who is pregnant!
...As long as she and the goddess don't fight.

Alice shook her head, glanced at Archbishop Anthony, and made her closing remarks:

"Since you won't give me the corresponding authority no matter what I write, let's just leave it like this for now. You guys can write the story as you like. Don't call me if there's nothing else to do, and don't call me if there's something else to do. Remember to send me a copy of the new holy book when it comes out."

She waved her hand and left the Church of Night.

After lying on the sofa for two hours, Alice jumped up as if awakened from a dream, slapped the coffee table excitedly, and told herself righteously:
"Alice, you can't fall any further, you have to work harder!

"You already have a guess about how to play the 'Mage of Doom', so go out and play it!
"Otherwise, do I have to wait for the Chaos Walker potion to fall into my mouth?"

Alice encouraged herself after some chicken soup-style soliloquy. She stood up, opened the door and walked out of the house, falling into deep thought at the dark sky outside.

...I almost forgot it's night time now.

Alice, who was driven crazy by her own insanity, quietly retreated into the room, closed the door, and went back to the bedroom to prepare for sleep.

When she pushed open the bedroom door, the witch's scent in the air had dissipated, but Alice was silent for a moment and then stepped out.

"Tomorrow... let's clean and tidy up tomorrow." She murmured.

——Alice had a very strange feeling when she thought that a man who turned into a woman had slept in it.

However, this also reminded Alice of one thing, and she suddenly remembered that she almost forgot about "Cassandra" and Selwyn Muggeridge again.

Alice silently added this matter to her schedule, with the progress bar placed after playing the role of "Doom Wizard" and searching for the potion materials for "Chaos Walker".

Alice half sat and half lay on the sofa for half an hour, breathing steadily.

The next day was Friday. Alice, who had decided to clean her room yesterday, excitedly opened the bedroom door. After a moment of silence, she muttered to herself:
"I wonder if there is home housekeeping service in this era..."

She has always been good at working on sudden ideas, or in other words, she has always been good at escaping from the current task - in short, giving up.

So the moment this idea came to her mind, Alice decisively decided to give up yesterday's plan and go out to look for the legendary door-to-door housekeeping service.

Where to find it...

Alice stood on the street and thought for a moment, then knocked on the door of Sefirah Castle with her spiritual power and began to call out to the respected Mr. Fool. (End of this chapter)
