Mystery: Lucky One

Klein frowned and looked at Alice. He was sure that Alice must be hiding something from him, otherwise she wouldn't have paused and changed her words so abruptly.

Klein couldn't say that he had no idea about this. For example, he suspected that what Alice was hiding from him was closely related to the so-called "secret that only angels could know," and it was definitely not a good thing. But if he really asked what it was specifically, he couldn't think of it.

Klein, who had just been promoted to Sequence 4, sighed and put the Sequence 3 plan on the agenda.

Potion recipe...where to find it?
The potion formulas for demigods and above were harder to find. Klein sighed and looked at Alice enviously. Then he thought of the so-called "law of causality" and his eyes became worried.

“Alas,” he sighed helplessly and shook his head. “Forget it, I won’t ask you. You won’t tell me even if I ask you… I might as well go find the formula for my Sequence 3 potion instead of wasting time on it.”

Alice paused for a moment, her eyebrows twitching as she recalled her speculation about Adam's deification ceremony.

The new God who is about to be born...will it be the Fool?

No, it is unlikely. The words Amon left for me were an active request for help from Adam, but at the same time, Adam and Klein's attitudes also tended to cooperate to a certain extent... He might be biased, but he did not stand on one side. This was not the trend of the times that He had expected.

As for fate... Never mind. It seems that it is not His turn to interfere in matters of fate... Well, then, the birth of the Fool or the Lord of Mysteries is not His turn to interfere either...

Is it possible for someone else to become a god in the Fifth Epoch? Medici? No, forget it, that's a bit far-fetched. I heard that He stayed underground for a thousand or two thousand years. It feels almost like exile. If it happened to Him, it would be impossible for Him to be like this, right...?
Which other positions are vacant? The one that is definitely confirmed is the "Black Emperor"... "Black Emperor"?
The corner of Alice's mouth twitched. She didn't think that the "Black Emperor" was the new god who was to come, but there were too many "Black Emperors" with names!
Roselle, Tudor, and it seems there is also Solomon... There are already three people that Alice can name.

She shook her head and murmured incoherently: "I hope another 'Black Emperor' will appear someday..."

The topic jumped too fast, and Klein was unable to pick up the topic. Confusion flickered in his eyes. Alice shook her head and continued to mutter:

"In fact, it could also be that the gods are dead... Hmm, who is dying? Let's rule out the Seven Gods first..."

"Wait," Klein finally couldn't help but interrupt her, "What on earth are you talking about?"

Alice blinked and responded, "I was thinking about the possibility of your promotion to 'Black Emperor'."

"?" Klein looked at her as if she was crazy.

Alice felt unconvinced by the questioning look. She sat up straight and argued with Klein with reason and evidence:

"Look! The nine mausoleums are simple, and the sacrificial ceremony is also simple as long as the above conditions are met. For most people, the most difficult part is to formulate a set of strict, complex and unreasonable rules, but this is very simple for you. You just need to abolish the monarchy..."

"Wait a minute," Klein couldn't help but interrupt her. "The promotion ceremony of the 'Black Emperor' requires linking one's name with the emperor. If I abolish the monarchy, how can I become the emperor?"

"That makes sense..." Alice frowned. "Then...we should implement the feudal monarchy in the other world? Although I think it's abnormal not to abolish the monarchy, we can bring the modern system over. That's a complete institutional reform..."

“?” Klein rolled his eyes at her. “Let’s not talk about the emperor first. How is abolishing the monarchy against common sense?”

"How is it not a violation?" Alice rolled her eyes in response. "At least in this new period of history, you are the first person to abolish the monarchy!"

Klein opened his mouth and then closed it again. He realized that what Alice said was true. This was an extremely common thing for him, but it was indeed unprecedented here.

He asked thoughtfully: "According to what you said, can I also bring modern or ancient Chinese architectural styles here?"

Alice had an expression that showed she was a teachable child.

"Now that you mention it, the 'Black Emperor' seems to be a good option..." Klein's expression became strange. "Of course, the premise is that I am an emperor now... Unfortunately, I am not."

"But you are the 'Faceless Man'," Alice instigated, "You can pretend to be the current emperor of Loen. I remember his name is George III, and then make... wait, it seems unnecessary, he seems to have made a new set of rules..."

Klein was stunned for a moment. He looked at Alice with an increasingly strange expression and said speechlessly:
"You really have arranged everything clearly for me, Miss Destiny?"

Alice blinked innocently.

Klein glared at her, not wanting to bother with her. He casually took out the piece of paper with only two lines of words written on it from the pile of rubble, handed it to Alice, and told her:
"Since you are no longer in a hurry to get a high title, you can think about the rest of the sentence yourself."

"Huh?" Alice's eyes widened.

Klein looked unquestionable. Seeing this, Alice angrily stepped on the gray mist on the ground before picking up the paper.

This was the second time she had seen the two honorific names that Klein had thought of for her. After taking another look, Alice couldn't help but say:
"You write me as if I were a true god... Hey, even if I don't use these two sentences, I will definitely put them into the scriptures when I have a church."

“…As long as you’re happy.” Klein looked away.

No one thought deeply about George III, because even Alice knew that members of the royal family could not be promoted to demigods by default. Alice did not believe that the current "tyrant" in Loen could conceal the truth to such an extent and had such courage.

……

The Tarot Club arrived on Monday of the new week as scheduled. After Miss Justice's greeting, Alice still heard the voice of Cattleya, the Hermit, apologizing:

"Dear Mr. Fool, I still haven't received Roselle's diary this week."

Again no… ?
Alice frowned and looked at the "Hermit" Cattleya. The lady looked calm and peaceful, and there was no sign of anxiety or worry on her face, so Alice looked away again.

Looks like everyone is fine...

Since there was no problem, thinking about these things was never her job. Alice felt relieved and waited for Klein's reaction. The Fool, who was sitting at the head of the bronze table, also withdrew his gaze, nodded, and said calmly:
"Do not worry."

Tsk…Alice lowered her head to hide her eyes.

As the Fool announced the start of the transaction, "The Hanged Man" Alger turned to "The Star" Leonard and said calmly:

"I'm sorry, but there's no news about magical items that meet your needs this week."

"This is normal. Correspondingly, uh, there are fewer Sequence 6 and Sequence 5 magical items in circulation." Leonard nodded in understanding.

He lets things slip more easily than I do... Alice's mouth twitched, she glanced at Leonard, who had almost revealed his true colors, and shook her head.

This is not just a case of the pot calling the kettle black. In fact, Alice is quite confident about keeping secrets - fate will not let her reveal any secret that should not be revealed!

Leonard looked back suspiciously. Alice blinked, smiled at him, and slumped back in her chair.

Leonard, who was sitting upright, paused for a moment and looked at the others. He found that although members such as "Moon" and "Magician" did not have the natural attitude of Alice, who was like returning home, they were not too restrained either.

It seems that Mr. Fool is relatively gentle in this regard... Leonard thought about it and quietly relaxed the pressure on his waist and back.

Klein manipulated the World Gehrman Sparrow and made him speak hoarsely:

Read more latest popular novels at 6.9*shuba!

"I have a magical item that meets your requirements in every aspect, but it has many negative effects that are difficult to avoid. Would you like to consider it?"

He was referring to the "Word of the Sea" scepter.

Klein had never intended to sell this item, which almost needed to be sealed, to Leonard because he felt that the poet could not withstand the negative impact of the "Word of the Sea". The singing without distinguishing between friend and foe, the characteristics of tripping and whipping the holder, and the disadvantage of being easily struck by lightning were not so easy to avoid.

But thinking of Alice's seal and what she said about using seals on angels, Klein realized that angels could suppress most of the negative effects of seals. As long as the opponent did not reach level "0", even if it was level "0", it could be used by the angels.

The "Word of the Sea" scepter was obviously not at that level, and Leonard had a Sequence 1 "Thief" Pathway Angel parasitizing in his body. Klein felt that the other party was unlikely to be able to solve the problem, so he finally decided to ask.

“Well, tell me about it.” Leonard believed that Klein would not harm him, and expressed his willingness to learn the details.

The World Gehrman Sparrow glanced at the Hanged Man and said slowly, "It can release lightning at the target..."

He roughly described the extraordinary abilities and negative effects of "The Word of the Sea", which made Leonard both excited and frowned.

It can actually be used as a magic wand to carry me flying... Even if I reach Sequence 5 "Spirit Wizard", I still have to find a suitable spirit to be able to fly... And the attack power is really not weak, and the characteristics are not single... But, those three negative effects are simply terrible... I'll go back and ask the old man if there is any way to reduce the negative effects...

Leonard pondered for several seconds, then suddenly his eyes lit up and he asked Alice:

"Miss Fate, do you have any way to weaken its negative effects?"

Alice was stunned when she was suddenly cueed, and the other Tarot Club members were not much better. Among them, "Moon" Emlyn looked at "Star" Leonard with admiration, mixed with a hint of gloating and pity.

But the treatment of former colleagues is different from that of unknown vampires. Alice thought about it and confirmed:
"Are you planning to take advantage of me too?"

也… … ？
Everyone was startled, and followed "Star" Leonard to look at "World" Gehrman Sparrow.

——No, you really didn’t give me any money?!
Amid the shocked expressions of the crowd, "The World" calmly said, "Why are you all looking at me?"

Everyone turned their gazes away silently. Leonard, the "Star", was the slowest to move. He said to Alice with a strange expression:
"No, I'm willing to pay the price."

Alice shook her head, rejected the proposal, and persuaded him:
“No need. If you do that, you’ll be wasting your money. You can just get that person for free. I think He can definitely do it, and He won’t charge you. If He can’t do it… uh, if He can’t do it, come and ask me again. For… for Mr. Fool’s sake, I can give you a discount.”

"Okay," Leonard nodded, then turned to look at the World. "I'll give you an answer next week."

“No problem,” The World responded.

As for the other members, even though they were a little interested at first, they all gave up on inquiring after hearing about the negative effects of "Sea Words".

At this time, Klein the Fool's thoughts turned to another direction, that is, whether to take the opportunity to do a "clearance sale".

——After he was promoted to Sequence 4 and became a demigod, many of his original items and characteristics were no longer useful.

"Creeping Hunger" can be kept, even if it is for "travel". In addition, it can also herd a Sequence 4 Saint, has the potential for growth, and its combination of multiple extraordinary abilities is also quite good... The value of the "Death Knell" revolver is actually not too high, but after turning on the "Fatal Attack" mode, it is still better than the air cannon in poisoning the target at a fixed position. At least it can still be used in the Sequence 4 stage. However, if you can get the "Reaper" puppet, you can consider taking action... I'll urge Ms. "Hermit" and Mr. "Hanged Man" later.

"Sun Brooch"? I currently lack the ability and items in this area... Although I can completely deal with evil spirits by manipulating the "Spirit Thread", I can also keep it to give the "Paper Angel" another variation, and sometimes I have to lend it to Danitz.

The "Blood Flower" ring was in the hands of the "winner" Enuni. It was thrown away at the same time. It should be with Ouroboros now? Ha, it can be regarded as a return to the "Aurora Society", but it's okay. After all, this can't be sold at all, and the negative effect of lowering intelligence is not suitable for most people...

"Green Hua" ring? This can be sold. I can transfer diseases myself, and I also graze "doctors" in "Creeping Hunger".

"Murloc sleeve nails"? This is useless. If I need it for a short time, I can transform myself into a large fish. If I need it for a long time, I can go above the gray fog and use the "Poseidon's Scepter" to add effects.

There are 1, 6, and 2 Purification Bullets, Demon Hunting Bullets, and Exorcism Bullets left respectively. They will be gone if you use them casually. There is no need to sell them... (End of this chapter)
