Mystery: Lucky

The case was solved, she really needed the potion ingredients.

Alice's frank attitude allowed Edwina to get the answer directly. She ignored Alice's last question and gave her own suggestion:

"Maybe you could try to interfere with their judgment of danger."

Well, this seems feasible. After all, if their judgment comes from fate, then obviously my status is higher...

It sounds like the difficulty is actually not to defeat but to find. Once found, even Klein should be able to beat him... Bah, what was I thinking!

Alice removed the respected Mr. Fool from the measurement unit, and then asked based on the idea that it would be better to have it all for nothing than to have it all for nothing:

"What about the Shadow of Doom?"

Edwina did not answer, but glanced at Alice and said thoughtfully:

"In my impression, the Extraordinary people of the 'Destiny' path seem to be very particular about equal exchange... But you haven't mentioned the matter of remuneration yet?"

"Uh..." Alice paused, thought for a moment, and asked tentatively, "A prophecy, or a piece of luck?"

Edwina shook her head and said to her: "Within the church, we usually exchange knowledge for knowledge."

Exchange knowledge for knowledge? She doesn't have much knowledge to exchange... Oh no, she wants to ask about the civilization before the first era!

After figuring out the answer, Alice frowned and looked into Edwina's bright eyes, frowning and said:

"The last time I mentioned what you wanted to know, the 'Hidden Sage' came over to take a look..."

A trace of obvious astonishment flashed across Edwina's eyes.

Alice was referring to the Internet, but thinking about how much the Church of Knowledge cared about knowledge, she said thoughtfully:

"However, this seems to be really suitable for you..."

Although they also advocate knowledge, "readers" are not like "secret peepers" after all. The "god of knowledge and wisdom" at the top of them is not a lunatic like the "hidden sage" who will not put garbage everywhere after the Internet is set up. advertise.

It would only be an excellent information exchange platform if "readers" could be networked with each other.

Alice glanced at Edwina, who had bright eyes, and said seriously: "Why don't you just pray to me!"

——She can directly instill knowledge into the believers who have prayed.

Edwina had no intention of refusing at all, and her process of getting into the role was very fast:

“What are the rituals required for your honorific name and prayer?”

Alice had unprecedented doubts about the loyalty of the Church of Knowledge, and fell into sympathy with the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom".

Hey, the leader is acting like a traitor, but the subordinates are also acting like traitors secretly?

No, maybe he is acting openly and openly as a traitor... The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked!

Alice complained in her heart and said with a complicated expression:

"The beliefs of your Knowledge Church are so casual... It feels like I used to worship them all when something happened."

In fact, this is not only the normal state of the world in Alice's memory, but also the normal state of most shallow believers in Loen.

I probably go to all the important ceremonies, and I usually believe in whoever can help me. Even after the parish changes, I don’t hesitate to change my faith...

Unlike devout believers, for the vast majority of shallow believers, faith is just to live a better life.

It feels like all the devout believers of the God of Wisdom are shallow believers, and perhaps the more devout the believers are, the faster they will rebel... After all, God is like this and the believers are probably not much different...

Uh, is that okay to say?

After recalling the times when Mr. "The Hanged Man" was frightened, Alice decided not to say anything.

Hey, this seems a bit sorry for Mr. "The Hanged Man". Next time, I will tell Mr. "The Hanged Man"...forget it. I guess he will be more frightened if I apologize, right?

Alice was very self-aware and gave up the idea of ​​apologizing, and decided to be more measured in what she said and did in the future.

Try to pay attention.

Edwina didn't know what Alice was thinking, but after listening to Alice's words, she still decided to save some image of her church:

"We believe in knowledge, or in other words, 'readers' only believe in knowledge."

This statement had a strange yet familiar flavor, and Alice suddenly thought of Charlie King, the owner of her "winner" extraordinary characteristics.

Clearly, this gentleman looked like he believed in fate.

She subconsciously wanted to say, "This is not a good idea, friend," but she swallowed it back and asked instead:

"Then will you commit suicide to gain knowledge?"

"Of course not," Edwina immediately denied, "You can gain more knowledge while you are alive."

Well, it seems that it is mainly a matter of fate. It is... it is definitely not my problem, right? Key of Light?

Alice shook her head, touched her chin and said, "If I didn't have the appropriate knowledge for the time being, wouldn't you have told me what the Shadow of Doom is..."

Edwina shook her head and said:

“Just think of it as a reservation.

“These are special creatures that travel through the spiritual world and enter places full of tragedy and suffering in the real world, attaching themselves to an area.

"Everyone who steps into this area will be given bad luck, and the longer time passes, the more serious this phenomenon will be.

"At the same time, the Shadow of Doom will emit a special influence. If you stay around the Shadow of Doom for long enough, it will become increasingly difficult to maintain your sanity."

After Edwina stopped talking for more than ten seconds, Alice asked hesitantly, "That's all?"

Edwina looked at her in confusion, as if she didn't understand what else she wanted to hear.

Alice asked while thinking, "What does it mean to be attached to an area?"

Edwina explained:

"Someone has discovered that in the area where the Shadow of Doom is attached, it seems to exist in various locations in the area at the same time."

Alice opened her mouth in surprise and asked puzzledly, "Then, how can I attack it?"

"That's your problem," Edwina shook her head and said, "We usually just drive it away, and sometimes we don't even drive it away. If you have a good way, please tell us."

Alice closed her mouth. She didn't ask questions like how to drive it away. After all, knowing that the "reader" can imitate the ability they understand, they can do too much.

Apart from anything else, Alice remembered that Admiral Amyrius's spell could do something similar.

Anyway, she at least finally knew what the main ingredient of her potion was, so the next step...

How should she introduce the Internet to the God of Wisdom? (End of this chapter)
