Mystery: Lucky One

Alger's words did give Alice some inspiration.

She heard that the value of the "craftsman" Sharf's existence was to create magical items, so she naturally thought of Klein's secret doll.

——As far as she knew, a doll could retain extraordinary abilities.

But Klein already has two Secret Dolls. Alice has never asked Klein how many Secret Dolls he can have at most, but she thinks that the number of Sequence 5s will not be too many, at least not enough to support a circus, so each Secret Doll should be carefully considered.

"Craftsmen" are not a sequence that can provide their own strength. Their advantage lies more in making magical items. However, magical items cannot be counted as positive combat power.

As for selling it for money... Although playing the role of a rich man made Klein extremely short of money, Alice did not think that "Craftsman" Sharf could compare with the pirates in terms of quickly making money.

As for the long term, Klein is not without fixed assets...

Alice shook her head, retracted the thought in her mind, and said to Alger:
“You guys handle it.

"I will ask the demigod of the world if he is interested in making magical items."

Anyway, it shouldn't have any impact if the demigod queen left a permanent position for a secret doll, and he should be demigod soon...

Alice began to look at Charles with the same eyes as she would look at a piece of junk.

From her occasional frown, Charles felt a sense of dissatisfaction, which was different from the anger after being offended just now. This was more of a criticism.

The difference was not actually obvious, but as a "craftsman", Sharf was very familiar with the way he looked at magical objects - he was sure that the girl was looking at him in that way.

Alice's words actually revealed a small amount of information. Alger and Cattleya realized that Gehrman Sparrow, the "world" after becoming a demigod, could somehow obtain the ability to create magical items. Alger quickly remembered Senior, who had explored the island with him, and had some guesses in his mind.

Maybe it's not just for Demigods. It's just that the quota is full now, and there will be new vacancies for Demigods...?
Alger took note of this thoughtfully, then after two seconds of silence, he turned to Sharf and said:
"You should be thankful that Miss Fortune is in a good mood today."

He didn't say much. For those who were well-informed, the title "Miss Fate" was enough to explain most of the problems. Sharf immediately connected Alice with the person in the rumor. His expression changed several times in an instant, and finally he knelt on the ground neatly and shouted:

"Damn it to me, Your Majesty!
"If I knew it was you, I would definitely not look at you carelessly. I, I, I would dig out my own eyes right now!"

As he said this, Charles took out a dagger from his body and stabbed himself in the eyes.

This begging action was too decisive. Alice watched the scene in shock. It was not until his dagger touched her eyelids that she hurriedly shouted:

"Wait a moment!"

Sharf, who had no real intention of digging out his own eyes, stopped his action decisively, put down the dagger, knelt on the ground again, and spoke out to praise Alice's kindness:
"You are truly a merciful prince..."

"No," Alice interrupted him, "I'll go out first and you can dig, okay?"

These words stunned Sharf for a moment. He raised his head in shock, forgetting to disguise the emotions in his eyes. It was Alger who spoke after a moment of silence:

"Miss Destiny has always been kindhearted and cannot bear to see such bloody and cruel scenes."

Cattleya turned her head and looked at Alger without saying a word. She seemed to want to say something, but in the end she said nothing.

Alice herself didn't know how to comment on this. She turned to look at Alger and saw that he had a calm expression without showing any emotion. After a moment of silence, she gave him a thumbs up and then said to Charles:

"Yes."

Then she left the room without looking back and closed the door.

Sharf knelt there awkwardly. He looked up at Alger, then at Cattleya, and when he saw that both of them had blank expressions on their faces, he gritted his teeth, picked up the dagger from the ground again, and dug it into his eyes, while shouting out some words of repentance.

Unfortunately, these words turned into screams soon after. Alice blocked her ears in annoyance. After the sound faded away, she quietly dropped a "restart".

Then Alger and Cattleya saw that the dagger that had been taken out was put back into the eye socket by Sharf, and the eyeball also flew back into the eye socket, and as the dagger was taken out again, it grew back on the eye.

Before they could be surprised, Alice opened the door, poked her head in and said:

“Keep digging.

“I want to watch the live version this time.

"Also, don't scream."

Alger and Cattleya swallowed hard, and then Cattleya calmly asked Sharf:

"Did you hear that?"

He did hear it, but Sharf was a little overwhelmed - he seemed to understand why the other party looked at him as if he were a magical object.

But Sharf knew that he could not resist, unless the real "Original Moon" was willing to save him, or the angels under the "Original Moon" were willing to save him, otherwise the resistance of mortals would be meaningless to an angel.

On the contrary, if he continued digging like this, the other party might get tired of it and let him go.

Thinking of this, Sharf swung the dagger at himself again.

This time he only dug halfway before Alice recovered. Then Alice frowned and said:

"Forget it, it's boring... Let's just wait for the demigod of the 'world'."

How boring... Alger looked at Cattleya, who seemed not to have heard what Alice said and asked:

"Then shall we continue?"

Alice nodded.

So the pirate general turned around and asked Sharf, who was still kneeling on the ground:

“I originally wanted to find you to make magical items through a friend’s introduction, but I found out that you were walking with the believers of the ‘Original Moon’.

"The three of them are not very strong and can't restrict you at all. Why do you still want to stay here?"

"Wait," Alice interrupted them, "the original moon?"

She frowned and looked at Sharf. Sharf, who had other thoughts in mind, immediately decided to be honest and answered truthfully:

“They had a strong man in Bayam at first, and through the fragrance and powder of some flowers, they infected me with a strange disease and made me weaker.

"Although I have recovered now, when I was controlled by them, they told me that as long as I believed in the 'Original Moon', I could cure my stubborn illness through certain rituals. I couldn't resist the temptation and gave it a try. It actually worked. I found the feeling of being a man again..."

At this point, his voice paused and he gave an awkward smile.

Alice blinked. It took her some time to realize what he meant. She hesitantly lowered his lower body and blurted out:

"You can not?"

Charles opened and closed his mouth several times, and after a huge mental struggle, he finally answered, "I, I was too indulgent before..."

Alice tilted her head, thinking of what Roselle said in the diary, and said thoughtfully:

"It seems that even if the Beyonders' physique improves, they cannot avoid this problem...

"Speaking of which..."

She looked at Charles with a strange expression, then said quietly:

“I know a ‘pharmacist’, and when I last saw him, he had become a ‘tamer’.

"I remember that he particularly liked this type of medicine. When we first met, he wanted to recommend this medicine to me, but then he found out that I was not an adult..."

Sharf began to ponder Alice's intentions, considering whether he should ask where this "pharmacist" was. After hesitating for a few seconds, he continued:

“It wasn’t because of drugs, I really recovered to the state of my youth. After that, I dreamt twice about the moon that looked bloody and attractive.

"I think I have become a believer of the 'Original Moon', so I dare not run away."

Having said this, he paused, looked at Alice with a cautious and expectant look, and then asked tentatively:

"Perhaps you would like to..."

Alice knew what he was going to ask.

As long as a person truly believes in evil gods, demons or some secret existence, unless he is willing to continue like this and gradually become fanatical, even if he regrets it and is protected by official forces and nothing goes wrong for a long time, he may still strangle himself to death silently in his sleep a few years later!
This is almost impossible to save, unless one is qualified to obtain the blessing of earthly angels at the level of the Pope of each major church, or accepts the isolation of certain seals and lives underground forever.

Of course, there are many people in similar situations who did nothing and still lived to die of old age, but most of them were ordinary people who were easily ignored by evil gods, demons, and secret entities. However, Sharf was a very useful "craftsman".

Alice also has the ability to offer this blessing, but she refuses it without hesitation:
"I do not want to."

——Don’t say that she didn’t want to confront the “Original Moon” and attract its attention. Even if she didn’t mind it, she was too lazy to pay attention to a guy who had offended her.

Sharf's face changed. Alice noticed his expression and thought for a moment before deciding to give him some hope.
"I didn't like the way you looked at me earlier...I was mad."

There was a bit of childish willfulness in these words. Charles remembered the rumors about the angel's character. His heart moved slightly and his face was no longer so gloomy.

Alger and Cattleya were slightly surprised, but they didn't show it on their faces. Cattleya spoke directly:
"What magical items do you have now? I'll pick some and leave a few for you."

"Ah?" Alice was stunned.

This should be the process of dividing the spoils, but Alice was obviously not very familiar with this process. In her impression, the person whose spoils were to be divided should be dead, or at least not at the scene.

This directly requires...

She looked at Sharf with a strange expression, and found that he nodded without any backbone:

"Ok."

Then Alice watched him put down the dagger he had used to dig out his own eyes, and told them:
"This short knife is called 'Poison Blade'. It can add a random poison to each damage. As for what it is, it depends purely on luck.

"It has little negative impact, except that it can lead to medical failure and a cumulative feeling of intoxication."

Alice looked at him in surprise, not knowing whether to praise his bravery or despise his spinelessness.

...Maybe I should praise his wisdom?
Alice's mouth twitched as she listened to his continued introduction.

She wasn't really interested in magical items, as most of them had more fun effects in her hands. As for the improvement in combat power...to be honest, if possible, why couldn't she not fight?
After Sharf finished his introduction, Alger pulled out the "Gargoyle Glasses" and the "Sea Scepter" and told them:

"These glasses were custom made by me, and the scepter was commissioned by the World..."

As he said this, Alger glanced at Alice.

As expected, Alice went up and picked up the scepter, and waved it casually. Several wind blades flew out, aiming at the table in Charles's house.

Alice felt no remorse for the table being split in half. She reached out and patted the scepter, and gave a direct order:

"Sing a song for me."

Just as Scharf said, the "Scepter of Sea Words" was very happy to sing. After hearing Alice's words, it immediately let go of its voice and sang a song.

They were lucky, as this song was one of the better performances of "Scepter of Sea Words". The singing was beautiful and touching. Alice was very satisfied listening to it and did not interrupt. So until the singing ended, she realized that the three people who were still sober at the scene all looked intoxicated.

Alger, who was in a tense mood, rarely showed his emotions and sighed:
“Music…

"Compared to it, what I sang is indeed not worthy of being called a song!"

Alice couldn't help herself and hit Alger on the head with her scepter.

Alger quickly came to his senses and said apologetically:

"Sorry, Miss Destiny..."

Alice ignored him. She waved her scepter as if she had found some interesting toy, hitting Cattleya and Sharf on the head.

Cattleya and Sharf did not show any anger at all. Like Alger, they took the initiative to express their apologies.

Alice shook her head, waved the scepter twice like a stick, and then threw it to Alger and said:

"You turn it over to 'the world'."

Alger took the scepter and nodded.

There was nothing in the remaining items that Alice was interested in, so Alger and Cattleya divided them up. Afterwards, they asked Heath Doyle to clean up the scene. Cattleya asked Sharf again:

"Why do the followers of 'Original Moon' want to control you?"

Sharf did not hide anything and spoke frankly:

"It seems that they have some plans that require the assistance of 'craftsmen'. I don't know what they are specifically because they haven't started yet."

Alice frowned and looked at Cattleya, who nodded at her and then looked at Alger.

After staring at Alger for a few seconds, Cattleya turned to Sharf and said:

"Since you are already a believer of the 'Original Moon', there is no benefit for me to take you away." (End of this chapter)
