Mystery: Lucky

"Wow!" Alice looked at the collection room with a look of exclamation, "Great!"

It's like this again... Edwina frowned again when she saw Alice's reaction.

Too vivid, too lively, and too fake.

Edwina glanced at Alice, thought for a while and reminded her: "You should at least start to marvel after seeing the things inside."

It seems to be like this... Alice listened to Edwina's words and felt that it made sense, so she looked inside.

She showed an expression of amazement again.

There were several tables placed randomly in Edwina's collection room, and there were several cabinets next to them. There were a lot of things in the cabinets and tables, and the collections were rich and diverse.

Alice searched the collection room and fell on a huge black iron key.

The key was casually placed on a wooden table. Alice pointed at the key and asked, "Is that the 'Key of Death'?"

"Yes," Edwina nodded slightly, "Here are some of the gains from our treasure hunts. You can look around."

Alice ran over as if she had been allowed to, and looked at the "Key of Death".

The key was more than one meter long. Even without considering the weight, Alice felt that it was a bit too strange to carry it with her hands. She thought for a while, recalled the posture of holding a piano in the TV series, and picked up the key.

The key was iron black and dull all day long. Alice silently memorized the pattern on it, and then began to explore the origin of the key using the method that a charlatan should use.

With her keen spiritual intuition, Alice did not look at the unimportant pictures in detail, but only focused on the most important frame.

It was dusk.

In the frozen dusk, there stood a magnificent building complex. Alice could not see the details clearly, but she could feel the ancient atmosphere in the building.

Alice let those images disappear from her eyes, put the key back in place, and decided to go back and ask the little sun.

After thinking for a while, Alice turned her head again and said in a disembodied voice: "Dusk."

Before Edwina could speak, Alice decisively retracted her sight and continued to search on the table.

Next to the "Key of the God of Death" was a parchment-bound book, and there was a line of ancient Feysac language on the dark brown cover:

"The Travels of Groselle".

"The Travels of Groselle!" Alice's eyes lit up, "Is this the travel book whose owners all disappeared?"

"German mentioned it to you?" Edwina nodded, "We found this travel book in a sunken ship on the seabed. It has been soaked for 165 years and is still intact."

Alice lowered her head in surprise to look at the book in her arms, remembering her violent words that "what is left after burning is the 'blasphemous card'".

She thought for a moment, then turned a page of the book, grabbed the two halves of the book, and tore it hard.

——She failed.

After two seconds of silence, Alice raised her head, looked at Edwina innocently and asked, "Do you know what this book is about?"

Edwina didn't care about Alice trying to tear the book, looked at her and said, "Maybe you will prefer to read it yourself... This is a novel."

It turned out to be a travel novel... Alice blinked, lowered her head and started reading.

The protagonist of this book is a giant named Grosel, who decided to go to the country of icebergs to hunt the "King of the North", a powerful dragon... Wait, why would he do such a thing?

Alice turned back in confusion, and turned back again, and found that the author didn't write it.

Okay, okay...

Grosel met his first companion on the journey, a female elf named Xiatas, and they... How did they suddenly become familiar with each other? !

Alice was shocked, and Alice continued to read, and Alice found that this was not an isolated case.

Groselle met many companions along the way, including the female elf Siatas, the devout ascetic Snowman, the noble of the Solomon Empire Mobet Zoroast, and the native soldier of Loen Longzel.

The book does not describe how the protagonists got to know each other. They met abruptly and became familiar with each other, and then decided to go together to defeat the "King of the North". Alice thought she had missed it several times and went back to read it again.

The story came to an abrupt end after the protagonists met the "King of the North". Alice fell into deep thought as she looked at the last few pages stuck together.

... What a discontinued dog!

She gritted her teeth and looked up at Edwina, who explained:

"It was like this when we got it. The last few pages of this book are difficult to open no matter what we do."

"Look at the good side," Alice cursed viciously, "maybe the author starved to death before he finished writing."

Edwina felt that she fully understood Alice's resentment, and she persuaded:

"Maybe you can try to open it, after all, you are still on the ship."

Alice closed the book angrily, completely forgetting her previous speculation that the previous owners of the book might have been in the book, and cursed with gritted teeth:

"There is no logic at all! What a rubbish book! The author must have starved to death!"

Edwina closed her mouth.

Alice threw Groselle's Travels back on the table and continued to search the house.

"This is a gold coin from the Solomon Empire in the Fourth Age." After noticing that Alice's eyes fell on a gold coin in a photo frame, Edwina took the initiative to introduce it.

A commemorative coin issued by the Solomon Empire... Alice automatically translated Edwina's words into a language she could understand, and leaned over to observe carefully.

It is dark golden in color as a whole, and seems to be made up of two semicircles of inconsistent sizes. It is extremely asymmetrical and has a pointed crown engraved on its surface.

Quite beautiful... Alice looked at Edwina with bright eyes.

After Edwina looked at her for two seconds, she proactively suggested: "If the price is right, I can consider selling it to you."

Alice silently withdrew her gaze.

This is because she doesn't want to spend money... but she actually abides by the rules? Well, that's normal. After all, it's the "destiny" path... Edwina looked at Alice thoughtfully and continued:

"The collections in this collection room are all like this, including the 'Key of Death' and Grossehl's Travels just now."

Alice began to think about the possibility of robbing the "Storm Lord" church again.

How about instigating Amon to rob... No, in that case it has nothing to do with me. Taking money from the "thief" angel king... Aha.

Alice was thinking wildly and looking around the room. Suddenly, her spirituality was touched, and she subconsciously looked in the direction of the spiritual touch. (End of chapter)
