Mystery: Lucky One

Chapter 551 Chapter 129 Big Shot

Alice couldn't describe her current mood. She felt the cold again for the first time in a long time, as if she was trapped in an ice cube. Her breathing and heartbeat were frozen in the cold.

Really... a good dissolution...

Alice clenched her fist and then unclenched it. She stared at Arrodes blankly and murmured:

"But... why am I also river water? Why am I river water?"

The mirror shook, and the silver light formed new words:

"Is this a problem?"

Alice calmed down suddenly. In an instant, she cleared her emotions and her mind became calm and clear. She looked at Arrodes and spoke calmly:
"this is not."

The silver light disappeared, and Alice inexplicably felt that Arrodes was relieved.

After her thoughts calmed down, they became smoother. Alice recalled the picture Arrodes showed her, and realized that maybe she should indeed take a trip to the River of Destiny - even if it wasn't for the purpose of getting water from the river.

She gathered her thoughts, spoke softly and slowly, and asked a nonsense question:
"What is the water in the long river of destiny?"

Arrodes paused for a while, seemingly not understanding the meaning of the question, but he still gave an answer based on his own understanding:

"It's fate."

This answer made Alice pause for a moment before she realized that her mind might have run away from home when she asked the question just now.

——Isn’t this nonsense?

Alice shook her head and frowned as she said to Arrodes:
"If I plan to ask Qi Guang about the River of Destiny, what should I do?"

This was a question that made Arrodes relax, and he gave the answer very smoothly:

“I suppose you can go directly to the spirit world to find the Seven Lights, but if you plan to perform a ritual, this is what the ritual involves.

"Would you like to use a mystical or spiritual ritual?"

Alice recalled the difference between the two rituals in her mind.

Although it can also be used to communicate and acquire knowledge, in the secret ceremony, the petitioner herself must open her heart and spirit and come into contact with the being pointed to, so as to gain certain knowledge, power, help or spiritual experience, which will cause her own thoughts and secrets to be opened to that being.

There are two types of spiritualistic rituals: direct communication and requesting the other party to descend. The manifestation of spiritual communication is a conversation across the air, while the descent of the spirit requires the preparation of a carrier in advance. If there is no carrier, the object of prayer will descend directly on the person requesting.

This can be divided into two situations. One is that the possessed person is completely unconscious and is controlled by the corresponding existence to answer other people's questions. The other is that the possessed person remains awake and can control certain parts of the body, so as to ask questions to the spirit. The simplest example is that one can speak with his mouth and the other can control his hands to write.

——Alice has always felt that in the first case, the possessed person is just speaking in a nice way, and is actually just a carrier of the spirit.

In any case, she certainly didn't want to be possessed, and she didn't like the secret ceremony, so she said directly:

"Spiritual ritual."

Arrodes immediately demonstrated the process of the spiritual ritual, which was nothing more than a familiar spiritual ritual with a different prayer. In addition, Arrodes also mentioned the appropriate attitude towards Qi Guang - he told Alice that Qi Guang was happy to be called "Master" or "Teacher".

Alice had an impression of this passage. She had read it in "Spiritual World Observations". However, looking at the three-part honorific name, Alice was a little silent. After writing down this line of text, she asked:
"Will Nanako be very fierce? I mean, they won't be the kind of strict teachers, right?"

"...No," Arrodes replied, "Qi Guang's attitude towards humans is quite gentle and friendly."

At this moment, Alice became alert and said, "But I'm not a human."

The silver light on the mirror went out and turned into a dark black. Alice blinked as she looked at the dark mirror, then reached out and patted the mirror, like she was patting a malfunctioning electrical appliance.

Arrodes then healed in the wisdom that this experience brought, and it revealed new words:
"Do you have any questions?"

Alice blinked, and in order not to disappoint Arrodes, she asked again:

"If I want to go to the spirit world to see the Seven Lights, how should I find them?"

Arrodes also answered very straightforwardly this time:
“Seven lights are shrouding the spiritual world. No matter where you are in the spiritual world, you can see them covering the heights.

"In addition, the spirit world itself is a woven together of various information, some of which comes from the past, some from the present, and some foreshadowing certain futures. When you are in the spirit world and have the idea of ​​visiting it, the Seven Lights that control the spirit world will naturally notice it to a certain extent."

It can be like this... Alice blinked and was about to say something when Arrodes displayed new text:

"Ms. Fate, could you please help the humble and insignificant Arrodes convey a greeting to the great master?"

Alice was silent for a moment, then said:

"Can.

"get out."

Arrodes immediately said:
"Since you ask me to do so, I will leave now."

Alice was surprised to see the mirror return to its original state. After a moment of silence, she murmured to herself:
"… So urgent? Is it really that serious?"

She was not surprised that Arrodes didn't want to pay attention to her, but Alice was not very happy about Arrodes's eagerness to run away. She narrowed her eyes and decided to go to Klein and say bad things about Arrodes another day.

After that, Alice thought about the picture Arrodes showed her.

She recalled that very distant memory, not the ice cream that accidentally fell, but the scene after that, when she rushed forward.

——Those surging, charming waves.

Alice always knew what it was. It was undoubtedly the long river of destiny. For unknown reasons, she stepped into the long river of destiny. Alice thought at the time that this was the beginning of everything.

But the picture shown by Arrodes was undoubtedly telling her that when everything started, she was already the river water, a part of fate...

……How can it be.

Alice frowned. She didn't want to admit it, but the thought kept rising in her mind. She could even find a complete explanation for it - she was part of the destiny of another world.

Or maybe she brought a part of the destiny of another world...

Either way, it sounds perfectly reasonable.

"I have to go to the River of Destiny," Alice said to herself, "But I've placed a commission at the Tarot Club... maybe I should wait until I get the result of the commission? Well, I can also go see the Seven Lights... Oh, Renette Tinicole lives in the spirit world, maybe I can ask her!"

…Dinner time at Congressman Murray Macht’s house.

"Ugh." Hazel Macht looked at the food plates prepared by the waiter and suddenly covered her mouth and nose with her hands, revealing an uncomfortable expression.

Ms. Liana noticed her abnormality immediately, and the mother hurriedly asked her daughter:

"Hazel, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

"Maybe my stomach is not feeling well..." she said with a pale face.

Liana frowned and looked at her daughter, and said softly: "You seem to be always unwell recently... and I noticed that your appetite has been poor for a long time, and you have lost a lot of weight..."

Hazel forced a smile and whispered, "I have seen a family doctor... They couldn't find anything, and the medicine they prescribed didn't work..."

Hazel lowered her head as she said this.

She didn't lie, she did see a family doctor, and the family doctor really couldn't see anything. He simply prescribed some stomach-nourishing and digestion-aiding herbs for her. The herbs didn't work, but Hazel had some guesses about her condition.

——Audrey's treatment of her is progressing steadily. Although Hazel is unaware of this and has not yet recovered her memory, she has not forgotten that she is an extraordinary person!
She thought that there might be some diseases that were unique to Extraordinary People, which ordinary doctors could not detect, let alone do anything about.

But therein lies the problem—she doesn’t know how to find other extraordinary people.

Ms. Liana knew about Hazel's request for help from the family doctor. She nodded, but still looked at Hazel with some worry and said:

"Your personality has changed a lot recently. Your father and I have noticed it. We are very happy and originally planned to send you to school for a trial. However, your body..."

Hazel forced a smile and said, "Mom, you know I'm not pretending to be sick just to avoid going to school."

"Of course I know," Ms. Liana sighed, "I'm just worried about your health...Hazel, let me take you to the hospital in the next two days. Your father and I have a friend who is an excellent surgeon. Perhaps we can ask him or his colleagues or classmates to help you..."

Hazel nodded and did not refuse.

……

Tuesday, Backlund, inside Odgar's villa.

Casimi Odra walked into the living room and shouted to Emlyn, who had a gloomy expression:

"Emlyn, that big shot asked you to go see Him."

"Okay." Emlyn calmed down, held down the lower part of his vest, and stood up at a moderate pace.

——Before this, he was questioning the relevant information of the castle in question.

After walking down the stairs to the underground area, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked in a low voice: "Baron Casimi, who is this important person? What should I call him?"

Casimi, who looked like a middle-aged gentleman, did not hide anything and replied with a respectful tone:

"My Lord Duke Olmo."

Duke Olmer... Emlyn subconsciously straightened his back and cast his eyes towards the lamp stand on the wall next to him, as if he wanted to confirm his appearance from the projection on the metal surface.

This is one of the three dukes who currently rule the blood clan. He is an ancient powerful man who existed before the catastrophe. His title is "Full Moon". He is over three thousand years old and once followed the ancestor Lilith!

There is no doubt that this is synonymous with the history and glory of the blood clan!

After passing through a series of secret doors, Emlyn and Casimi arrived at an iron-gray hall.

The ground and walls here were covered with grass, flowers, and grains, and many insects crawled among the dense plants, making Emlyn feel as if he had left the city and come to the suburbs, feeling the vitality of life.

At first glance, this scene doesn't seem too strange, but if you look closely, many things are extremely strange:
There are cracked mouths on the grass, and fibers fly out of them to catch insects; flowers use branches and leaves as hands to pick nectar by themselves; grains such as wheat are heavy, and occasionally there are cries coming out of them; insects are divided into many categories, all different from normal ones, some have snake heads, and some have bird faces...

These things grew more luxuriantly towards the center of the hall, forming a vibrant tomb there.

Qasimi faced the tomb, bowed respectfully and said:
"Your Excellency, Emlyn White is here."

"Good afternoon, Your Excellency the Duke." Emlyn was not as arrogant as usual, and even seemed a little at a loss.

In the grave, a mellow voice whose age could not be determined laughed:
“A very outstanding young vampire.

"Casimi, you should get out of here first."

"Yes, Your Excellency the Duke." Casimi bowed in response and left the iron-gray yet refreshing hall.

Emlyn stood there and heard the mellow voice coming from the tomb asking:

"This morning, Nibais said that you have acquired the extraordinary characteristics of an artificial vampire corresponding to the rank of Viscount?"

“Yes, but it is contaminated and needs to be purified first.” Emlyn had not mentioned the matter of removing the mental contamination within the Beyonder Characteristics before because he believed that this was an easy task for the vampires. At least Baron Casimir had confirmed that it was possible.

The vampire duke Olmer said, "Very good, I will purify that feature myself."

Next, the duke said some rather polite words of praise. Emlyn didn't hear anything. He quietly raised his chin and responded respectfully:

"I'm always ready."

"That's right." Olmer's mellow voice came from the grave. "Your next mission is to find the important members of the Rose School hiding in Backlund. In this regard, there are very few clues, and many situations require you to investigate on your own."

"Rose School? Do they have a grudge against us vampires? They seem to have accepted some believers of the 'Original Moon'?" Emlyn had actually learned a lot about the Rose School at the Tarot Club, but he deliberately concealed it and didn't show that much.

In addition to accepting the original Moon's believers, they also occupy a sacred object of our blood race, which is the original legacy of the ancestor, and we must take it back. " Olmer's tone became more serious.

The remains of the ancestor... the holy relic of the blood clan... Emlyn spoke without hesitation:

"Your Excellency the Duke, I will try my best to find important members of the Rose School in Backlund."

Olmer's voice softened as he said, "Very good. Go get some information from Casimi and find a way in."

Emlyn was already a little impatient, but he still restrained himself and asked carefully:

"Your Excellency the Duke, I recently got a recipe for a magic potion, and one of the ingredients on it really puzzles me...

"Have you ever heard of the river of destiny?"
