Mystery: Lucky One

No…Alice put down the “Wheel of Fortune” card in her hand.

The introduction to the "prophet" only mentioned that the "prophet" could truly observe the future through the long river of fate, but did not mention the "prophecy" that would come true if believed.

Alice let out a breath as her original guess was confirmed.

It was hard to tell what she felt, because this incident was not too shocking. Alice had expected this, and she looked at the "Wheel of Fortune" card in her hand with a calm attitude.

...Will this thing bring about the aggregation of extraordinary characteristics?

Alice was a little worried, but she was only worried for a moment before she realized that there was no need to worry about this problem at all - the uniqueness also lay with her.

Alice put down the "Wheel of Fortune" card in her hand with mixed feelings. After thinking about it, she felt uneasy and kicked it.

…Or should I leave it with Klein?

Let’s wait and see…after all, we just got here.

Alice hesitated for a moment, gave up the idea for the time being, put the cards in her pocket, and thought about what she should do next.

Theoretically, I should go and act first... Speaking of which, can I go to the church to ask for an acting opportunity?

Alice reached up and touched her chin, keeping this possibility in mind.

"But no hurry, no hurry, I should have other things to do...things..." Alice reached out and scratched her head.

...What happened?

Alice frowned. She felt as if she had forgotten something—something that seemed to be gradually becoming more and more urgent.

...What was it?

…Let’s talk about it tomorrow.

She passed another day in a daze and wandering around aimlessly, and it was not until the crimson light came on again that she realized it was Monday.

…It’s better to recover from the time concept of “God-forsaken Land” as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Alice remembered the precise year that the High Priest Nim of Moon City had revealed to her.

...They can tell time?

Alice tilted her head thoughtfully, and stopped thinking deeply, and headed above the gray fog.

The first person to speak was still Justice Audrey. She lifted her skirt skillfully and lightly, stood up and greeted:

"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool~"

Alice sat up straight at her greeting and turned to look at Cattleya, the "Hermit" who had a close relationship with Bernadette, the source of the "Wheel of Fortune" card.

Cattleya was not affected by this. After Audrey finished greeting her, she stood up and saluted, saying:
“Mr. Fool, I have collected three pages of Roselle’s diary.”

Eh, there are only three pages?

Alice looked at Cattleya with some surprise and asked curiously:

"Why don't you just hand in a whole diary?"

The Hermit Cattleya paused and stood there awkwardly.

Of course, it’s because they are testing you... After all, the fact that the Fool has been kind so far has at least confirmed his reputation as an evil god...

Klein complained in his heart, raised his hand to stop Alice, and said:

"You can think of a request."

Alice still gave Klein face. She glanced at Cattleya and didn't ask any more questions. She waited like everyone else for the Respected Fool to finish reading the diary - even though she started playing with the bench legs out of boredom.

...Can I bring the ice cream up next time?
Alice sighed heavily, causing Justice Audrey to glance at her.

Alice raised her head and shifted her attention away from the legs of the bench until Klein finished reading the diary.

Klein glanced at her with a smile, his eyes seemed to indicate something else. Alice sat up a little straighter, realizing that these three pages of the diary were probably not simple.

But this was not the place to talk, so Klein simply made the diary in his hand disappear, then smiled and asked Cattleya:
"Have you thought of a request?"

Cattleya bowed as if she had been prepared, and said, "I want to know why Emperor Roselle went crazy in his later years."

Audrey, the "Justice" who was sitting in the same row, blinked, wondering if she had heard wrongly. She had never expected that the "Hermit" lady would ask such a heavy question right from the start.

And how did she know that Emperor Roselle went crazy in his later years? And, and, she only submitted three pages of the diary, and asked such a question, which did not conform to the law of equivalent exchange! Audrey had all kinds of thoughts in her mind, but she did not stop Ms. Hermit from asking questions. Instead, she was very interested and inexplicably excited to wait for Mr. Fool's response.

The Hanged Man Alger, Emlyn the Moon, and Fors the Magician also held their breath and cast their gazes towards the top of the long bronze table. Only Derrick the Sun and the World did not seem to care much about it.

Alice blinked and turned to Klein, not looking at the Hermit Cattleya—she was not concerned about the question itself, she was more interested in seeing how Klein would write it.

If those three pages of the diary didn't mention the reason why Roselle went crazy in his later years... Alice looked at Klein with ill intent.

Klein ignored her gaze and chuckled.

“First, let’s establish a fact.

“I am not omniscient, nor am I omnipotent.”

He said this in a self-deprecating tone, but the "Hermit" and others did not behave abnormally at all, and even behaved a little more respectfully.

This is reasonable. After all, there is no description of omniscience and omnipotence in the title of The Fool. In fact, none of the existing secret beings has such a description, except for the one who also has an Angel of Destiny under his seat.

But Alice raised her hand to refute this:
"If, I mean if.

"If you turn other people into fools, then in their eyes, do you become omniscient and omnipotent?"

The words Klein had originally organized were stuck, and he used a lot of effort to avoid showing a strange expression.

The members of the Tarot Club also had different dark colors, but it was not the first time that Miss Destiny had said something like this. Everyone was just a little surprised, but there was no farce like someone falling off a stool. At most, they just reached out to hold the table and sighed in their hearts, "She is worthy of being Miss Destiny."

After observing the reactions of others, Klein chuckled and joked with Alice:

"In this case, fate should also be omniscient and omnipotent.

"After all, you always get the information you need to know at the right time." Alice lowered her head and fell into deep thought.

After successfully convincing Alice, who had the biggest problem, Klein began to answer questions from Cattleya, the Hermit:

“I also want to know what happened to Russell in his later years.

"What is certain at this point is that, due to some unknown stimulus or influence, Roselle has set his sights on Sequence 0."

Alice realized that this was Klein's strategy - to be honest, he didn't know, but he was a true god, so why would he feel guilty?

Is he copying me?
Alice looked around blankly, and finally her eyes fell on the Hanged Man, Alger.

Of all the people here, the one who had the deepest understanding of how honest she was should be Alger—at the beginning, she had even revealed her amnesia and the fact that she had no attack power at Sequence 7.

And in that situation, the fact that she and Klein might know each other... can't be said to be hidden at all, but it can only be said to be hidden in some way.

You see, she is really honest.

The Hanged Man Alger had no idea that Alice was reminiscing about the past. He broke out in a nonexistent cold sweat when he saw Alice. He glanced nervously at Mr. Fool above the gray fog, and then at Cattleya, the Hermit, hoping that they would give him the chance to speak.

Neither Cattleya nor Klein noticed this, but it didn’t matter. After answering Cattleya’s question, Klein smiled and said:
"You guys start."

Having said this, he leaned back in his chair.

So Alger, the Hanged Man, turned to Alice and asked with a forced smile:
"Miss Destiny, do you have something to say to me?"

“…No.” Alice silently withdrew her focused gaze.

The World spoke at this time:

"I have two magical items and one extraordinary characteristic I want to sell."

Alice looked at him in confusion and began to think about where the things came from - after all, Klein was far from being short of money to the point where he needed to start selling real estate.

Mr. World has been able to bring out very valuable things at every gathering recently. He is worthy of being Mr. Fool’s favored one… Audrey Justice cast her eyes towards the bottom of the long bronze table with emotion and admiration, waiting with a little anticipation for the World to display its items and introduce its abilities.

Alger, the Hanged Man, was moved, knowing that the magical items sold in the World would certainly not be bad. However, when he thought of his own financial situation, he became depressed again.

I will reach Pasu Island in five hours... Once I get back to Pasu Island and finish my report, I can leave there, find the Obnis sea monster, and be promoted to "Sea Singer"!
Then I can explore that pristine island with the 'world... then, then I can get out of my current situation!
"The Hanged Man" Alger exhaled slowly and listened attentively.

Although "Sun" Derrick, "Moon" Emlyn, and "Magician" Fors were curious about magical items, they lacked the necessary desire to buy them. Of course, they were not Klein's ideal customers.

The Hermit Cattleya looked at the World Gehrman Sparrow with great interest, wondering where the other party's magical items might have come from.

If it was suitable, she was willing to buy it - after all, she still had a fleet and she didn't mind buying something for her men.

Seeing that the two expected big customers were more or less interested, "World" laughed deeply and said:
"One is 'Lucky Balance', which I named myself..."

As he spoke, he applied to Mr. Fool, and a silver necklace with a pendant that looked like an ancient coin appeared.

Alice glanced at him, mocking his hypocrisy in her heart, and couldn't help asking:

"How does it look like a scale?"

This is a question of Klein's level of naming.

So the "world" glanced at her and humbly asked: "Then what do you think it should be called?"

"Tell me about your abilities first," Alice requested.

Klein then introduced in detail the magical effects and negative effects of the "Lucky Scale". Just as the logic of his name suggested, this thing was like a scale - it could help people avoid deadly dangers, but at the same time it would also return with terrible misfortune in the future.

After describing all this, Klein asked again:
"What do you think it should be called, Miss Fortune?"

"Bitcoin," Alice answered decisively.

Klein paused for a moment. He was unable to figure out Alice's naming logic, so he manipulated the "world" and asked:
"why?"

“Because it sounds like taking a loan with fate,” Alice shrugged. “Fate is a virtual currency—so is Bitcoin.”

Audrey, who originally wanted to ask what Bitcoin was, frowned again and began to try to understand the term virtual currency.

...Why does it sound like counterfeit money?
Klein, who had just been baptized by the topic of cashing in the Fortune Charm, rubbed his brows while controlling the World, and then avoided the topic:
“Does anyone need this Bitcoin?”

The others looked at each other in bewilderment. Cattleya, the Hermit, tactfully did not ask about the Bitcoin, but instead asked about the origin of the necklace:

"Senior?"

This should be the top chain of "Blood Admiral" Senior. It looks very similar and has basically the same effect! Where did Gehrman Sparrow get it? What did he do? The "Future" has not docked for the past few days. Did I miss some important news?
Amidst her confusion, she received the answer from the "world":

"He is dead."

Alice realized the original owner of the necklace from this conversation. She couldn't help but raise her hand and frowned and asked:
"If this necklace came from Senior, then technically, it should belong to me, right?"

Alger, the "Hanged Man", and Cattleya, the "Hermit", who were originally horrified by Gehrman Sparrow's strength, both breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it doesn’t sound that scary, haha.

While they were thinking, Klein calmly and skillfully comforted Alice:
"After you watched me kill Senior, you did not ask me for his remains.

"And you promised to make Senior my servant - so the things on him should belong to me."

Alice frowned and began to think.

Cattleya glanced at the two of them hesitantly and interrupted:
“How much do you plan to sell it for? Or what do you want to exchange it for?
"If the price is right, I can consider it."

“Twelve thousand pounds.” Klein quoted the price he had thought of earlier.

Cadeliya frowned slightly, obviously, she thought the price was a bit too expensive.

Alice looked at them thoughtfully, then suddenly raised her hand and interrupted:

“If you are willing to help me make a Beyonder Attribute into a magical item, I can lower the price on his behalf.

"This extraordinary characteristic comes from a Sequence 4 demigod of the Rose School. He is a 'puppet'."

This is exactly the extraordinary characteristic that Alice asked Klein to sell on her behalf. (End of this chapter)
