Mystery: Lucky One

Chapter 55 Chapter 18 Negotiation
So Alice turned to Derrick and asked in a deep voice: "Mr. Sun, can you kill them? I only need one... uh, one should be enough."

Alice believed she could not afford a second one.

Derrick shook his head and said: "The place where this kind of monster is is still too dangerous for me."

"...Very good," Alice said in an appreciative tone, "Then can you help me go to Silver City?"

Derrick shut his mouth.

"Maybe I can take you to that sea area," Alger said tentatively, "if you need it."

Alice withdrew her gaze from Derrick, leaned back on the chair, and looked at Alger with a half-smile.

Frankly speaking, Alger's suggestion is indeed one of the most appropriate answers.

In addition, Alice can probably use the excuse of collecting materials or looking for inspiration to copy... After finishing drawing this comic, she will pay someone to take her out to sea - but, there is really someone Are you willing to take on such a sea mission that requires money but not your life?

But Alger's intention was too obvious, it was an upright conspiracy.

Alice guessed that "The Hanged Man" must now be extremely convinced that she is the favored one who just arrived in Backlund as mentioned by Klein. Now he should be trying to figure out the reason for his attitude towards Klein...

Alger met Alice's gaze with a candid expression, and then said, "If you are worried, we can ask Mr. Fool to be a witness."

"Okay," Alice sat up slightly and looked at the head of the long bronze table, "Then please ask Mr. Fool to be a witness for us?"

"Okay." Klein nodded gently.

So Alice looked at Alger again, suppressed her smile and said, "Mr. 'The Hanged Man', do you still remember the Beyonder of the 'Monster' pathway you met?"

"What's wrong?" Alger asked in a deep voice.

"There is an angel behind him - at least an angel, eyeing me," Alice leaned forward and said, "And unfortunately, he was able to find me because of you."

The expression of the Hanged Man showed an unconcealable change for a moment. Alice, who observed this change, smiled contentedly and said: "The angel may have noticed you∽"

At this time, Alice didn't pay attention to Mr. Fool's gaze on her at all - after all, Mr. Fool thought it would be great if he could provoke a Sequence 6 or even a Sequence 5. Who would have thought that Alice would attract an angel!

Derrick was greatly shocked, and Audrey asked directly: "Aren't you in danger?"

"There is no danger yet," Alice tapped her fingertips on the table and said with unclear meaning. "Although that angel is full of malice towards me, he will not do anything to me for the time being - and Mr. 'The Hanged Man' It should not be deliberately targeted for the time being. After all, there is not much he can do without reciting the honorable name. In addition, the angel is currently in Backlund."

"...is it an angel of the 'monster' path?" Alger asked loudly.

Alice looked at Alger's expression, and she guessed that Alger must really want to ask how she provoked an angel - even though this was actually an unthinkable disaster for her.

"Obviously," Alice shrugged, "I have His honorable name, do you want to hear it?"

"...No need." Alger looked at Alice, who was still in the mood to joke, and rejected the proposal with complicated emotions, "You...did you do something to offend that angel?"

"..." Alice fell silent. She put away her smile, looked at Alger, and said in an ethereal tone, "This is not something you should know." And she secretly praised her performance in her heart.

Looking at Alger and Audrey who fell silent, and Derrick who still didn't know what to say, Alice said:
"Mr. 'The Hanged Man', if I invite you to hunt with me in the future that Extraordinary of the 'monster' pathway - oh, he calls himself Charlie King and is currently Sequence 6, if I invite you to hunt with me Hunt him..."

"Are you sure this won't make that angel want to kill me?" Alger asked.

"If He really cared about Charlie King's life, he wouldn't have let Charlie King come to see me," Alice said coldly, thinking of Charlie King who almost became an Extraordinary Character, "In other words, I suspect that Charlie King is Extraordinary characteristics that He purposely sent to me.”

And if I hadn’t accepted it, would I have been sent to it again when Charlie King Sequence 5 was released?
"...If He wanted to kill you, why would He give you extraordinary characteristics?" Alger asked incomprehensibly.

"This is also not something you should know." Alice refused to answer the question.

"Why didn't you mention this last week?" Alger continued to ask.

"Because last week I wasn't sure whether the angel was kind or malicious," Alice replied, "and this week, I have already seen that angel."

Klein then glanced at Alice again under the cover of gray mist.

"Why did you invite me?" Alger continued to ask.

"Two reasons," Alice gave her own answer, "One is that you have been exposed to His sight, and the other is... I am actually an assistant."

"...If the remuneration is appropriate and I have time, I will consider it." Alger gave a rather flexible answer.

"Very good," Alice raised her eyebrows slightly, "If I need to use your ship to go to the sea area you mentioned, what do I need to pay? How should I contact you?"

"..." Alger fell silent, and Alice suspected that he regretted his proposal just now.

"Even if you don't believe me, you should at least believe in Mr. Fool, right?" Alice decided to raise the banner, "Furthermore, I can assure you that the angel has no ability to affect my destiny. found me in a way."

Alice is very confident about this - she believes that the power that affects her destiny is much higher than the angels.

"...Two weeks later, Pulitzer Harbor, I will tell you the specific situation at the next Tarot meeting," Alger replied in a deep voice, "I request that the harvest be distributed according to the rules of normal team adventures, and you need An additional £1000 will be paid as shipping fee."

While Alice lamented that the ticket was really expensive, she asked inexperiencedly: "Generally speaking, how are the gains from team adventures distributed?"

"In the case of killing alone, whoever kills it will get it." Alger replied.

Alice, who only had a revolver in her body, was silent for a moment, and then asked: "What if I don't have the ability to kill monsters alone?"

"...allocation will be based on contribution and demand, and compensation will be made afterwards." Alger glanced at Alice before hesitating to speak.

　I'm actually very curious whether when you talk about the Key of Light, you are referring to the Old One or the Sefirot. After all, these two actually have the same name (...)
　　But why does the book club seem to be in a quarrel (…)
　　Hey, actually if you speak carefully and make suggestions, I will read and consider them, because I do have some of the problems you pointed out (eyes moved)

　　But those who find fault, the ones who teach me to write books, and even those who curse (calling Alice stupid doesn’t count because I’m secretly saying it too (eyes avert)), I won’t talk to you nicely either.

　　After all, there are so many books and if you don’t like them, you can read them elsewhere. There’s no need to make things difficult for everyone. If you really can’t find something you like, just write it yourself. Why bother? You have to make yourself miserable. Before leaving, I need to brush up on my presence (…)
