Mystery: Lucky

Alice's doubt only lasted for a moment, and she quickly realized that even if the goddess could see the situation in the sea area of ​​​​the God War, she would most likely not be watching her 24 hours a day.

Moreover, the goddess might be worried that she would be angered to death... Alice thought of the donation box of the Church of Storms with a guilty conscience.

…No, that was Amon’s doing.

Alice's eyes became firm again. She watched quietly as Revere's body was turned into ashes under the magic of the scroll, and then went to find Klein on the side... Where is Klein?

Alice looked around blankly, thought for a while, and walked towards the cabin.

She knew where Klein's room was. After knocking on the door twice, she waited outside the door for a while, and sure enough she saw Klein coming to open the door.

"What are you doing?" Alice asked him doubtfully, "Shouldn't you be waiting outside for the mermaid..."

Klein stepped aside, took Alice to the desk, and showed Alice what was on the desk.

"I just read a book in my dream..." Klein explained, "I just wrote down the contents of the book."

Alice glanced at Klein in surprise, then curiously poked her head to look at the contents on the paper. The dense text and complex runes made Alice look away within a second, and turned to ask Klein:

"Do you want to use it?"

"I'm going to do some research," Klein nodded. "After all, there are very few opportunities to learn in a dream like this... What's that look in your eyes?"

Alice looked at Klein with a mixture of shock and pity, and asked sincerely:

"Are you sure you're not crazy?"

...It seems she really hates studying.

The corner of Klein's mouth twitched, he thought about it and said to Alice:

"I think not.

"After all, I'm different from you. I finished high school and successfully entered college."

Alice felt like she might have been scolded.

"Just wait," she reached out and patted the table, and declared solemnly, "I'll show you how to get into a university sooner or later. If you don't succeed in this life, just try in the next one. I'll definitely be able to get into it!"

Klein glanced at Alice, who was aroused by the strange desire to win, showed an understanding smile, and said with concern:

"In that case, let's start working hard from now on, right?

"After you return from the sea, I will contact a school for you..."

Alice moved towards the door little by little. When she pressed against the door and stretched her hand towards the doorknob, Klein finally reached out to hold her and began to talk to her about business:

"Okay, okay, if you don't want to, I can't tie you up. I'm not really your mother... If I were really your mother... No, your dad, I would definitely watch you go to school every day.

"By the way, what you said to Anderson before..."

Klein looked at Alice tentatively.

Anderson, what did I say to Anderson? Oops, he couldn't be referring to that certain death situation... What should I do, should I pretend to be stupid? No, there's no point in pretending to be stupid. He has never asked me about the "wealth accessories" before, but he can definitely guess that there is something wrong...

Alice blinked, hesitated for a moment, then gave up pretending to be stupid, and tried to brush off the topic:

"Actually, I said that nonsense at the time. There was no such thing at all. I just wanted to scare Anderson..."

Alice's voice grew smaller and smaller, and finally stopped.

This is not because Klein is angry. On the contrary, Klein does not look angry. His expression is full of worry.

This made Alice feel a little uncomfortable. She rubbed the floor twice with her soles, and finally said in a weak and almost inaudible voice:

"I'll be fine."

She didn't speak loudly, but her tone was firm. This attitude made Klein calm down a little, and he was temporarily freed from his worries about Alice.

The next moment, his mood turned into anger because of Alice's words:

"Even if you and Amon are really together, nothing will happen to me."

Very good, this diversion of attention was very successful. Now he just wants to beat me and doesn't want to ask me what's going on... Alice thought as she unscrewed the door and walked towards the captain's cabin. Run, shouting while running:

"Help, Captain Hermann is going to hit me!"

Klein, who was both angry and amused, stopped at the door, pinched his brows, and muttered in a low voice:

"It seems that she really doesn't want me to ask this question... Oh, forget it, it's useless for me to worry about her..."

Listening to Alice's screams echoing in the cabin, Klein suddenly felt that his desire to see the mermaid had become more urgent than ever.

Next, the time stayed at noon, and Klein stayed on the deck, watching the "Future" bypass several ruins and ruins and go deeper and deeper into the ocean.

Most of the day passed, during which time Alice ate a meal heartlessly, completely unaware of the strange looks the sailors gave her.

——These sailors have already learned about Alice's wonderful performance in the cabin a few hours ago.

Until they were about to pass by a certain group of buildings submerged under water, Anderson stood aside, pointing to the group of buildings and said:

"After passing this ruins, turn left and drive for about ten nautical miles, you will have a chance to see the mermaid."

Upon hearing this, Alice, who was gradually losing her patience, turned her head excitedly. Just as she was about to speak, the sky suddenly turned dark again.

They skillfully found a place to fall asleep quickly, and when their consciousness sank into dreamland, Alice had the feeling that her consciousness was floating again.

But unlike the last time when she swayed uncontrollably, Alice realized that she could actually easily get rid of the pull this time.

But Alice didn't do this. She relaxed her consciousness and followed the gravity to reach her destination. When she woke up again in the dream, she saw a row of floor-to-ceiling windows.

The place has changed... Alice was vaguely aware of this.

She stood up curiously and observed her surroundings. In front of her was a row of floor-to-ceiling windows facing the setting sun. The windows were very clean and revealed indescribable purity under the sunlight outside.

Next to the window, there are long wooden tables and brown armchairs. Further away, there are rows of bookshelves filled with various books.

Alice approached the bookshelf and found that there were many books on it. The titles of the books were very clear, and they were all kinds of occult books.

Alice walked over expressionlessly and stopped in front of a certain row of bookshelves.

"Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, The King's New Clothes..." She frowned and read out the names of several fairy tales one by one, and finally her eyes stopped at the end of the bookshelf.

There is a Roselle diary placed there.

There is no doubt that this is naked bait - this thing even translates diaries rather than notes.

Even Alice was clearly aware of this. She blinked and bit the bait without hesitation.

Alice reached out and pulled out Roselle's diary, opened it gently, and a beautifully made bookmark fell to the ground... Wait, it's not a bookmark.

Alice frowned and picked up the bookmark from the ground.

This is a tarot card, or rather, a card of blasphemy.

Alice saw the roulette wheel with eight hands, four long and four short, in the center, as well as Russells from three different periods attached to the roulette wheel, as well as the line of text printed in the upper left corner of the card:

"Sequence 0: Wheel of Fortune!" Note ①

Alice frowned, and the sound of footsteps approaching just in time.

coming……

Alice did not try to browse the Roselle diary in her arms, but stood there holding the diary and holding the "blasphemous card" with only the face of the card.

Wearing a light brown knee-length skirt, beige trousers, and black leather boots, Bernadette stood in front of Alice soon after, along with Klein behind her.

Alice looked at the two of them without saying a word. After standing there for a few seconds, she suddenly realized that this would make her look very weak - because both of them were taller than her.

It's so embarrassing... Can I climb on top of the bookshelf now? Oh no, climbing up would ruin the image, and I can’t do it. Can I fly to the bookshelf now...

Looking up at the towering bookshelf, Alice suddenly had this idea in her mind.

Bernadette's voice sounded, stopping Alice's too bizarre behavior in time:

"I'm sorry for bringing you here without permission.

"This is a library composed of the knowledge in my memory. However, it seems that you are not very interested in the occult knowledge I possess?"

"If you had talked to him before coming to me again, you would know," Alice pointed at Klein, "The thing I hate the most is reading!"

An unexpected answer. After a few seconds of silence, Bernadette looked at the thing in Alice's hand and asked:

"Then... the diary and the Card of Blasphemy... I remember you before... you collected the Card of Blasphemy before?"

Alice glanced at Bernadette with a half-smile and said loudly:

"If the reward you want to get is the content of the diary, or information that needs to be learned by reading the content of the diary, then the diary cannot be used as a price, because this is what you should have given me.

"As for the Blasphemy Card, if I had collected all the other twenty-one cards and only had this one left, I might come to you for it, but now...

"What use do you think this card has for me now? Does it provide a person? Or does it provide the corresponding potion formula? Sequence ability?

"I think you have missed the best time to trade with me. What you need to pay now is the price to impress an angel of the 'destiny' path.

"Of course, you can also try to impress Mr. Fool... Now, maybe it's easier to impress Mr. Fool than to impress me?"

After a few seconds of silence, Bernadette spoke softly:

“There is an item that may interest you.

"I have a sealed artifact of the 'Prophet'."

Alice raised her head suddenly, and immediately realized that with her reaction, her answer was self-evident.

Thinking of this, Alice simply didn't hide it. She threw the diary towards Bernadette. After watching Bernadette access the diary, she said:

“Hey, that’s a really cool chip.

"However, I guess you may have overlooked one thing...

"For an angel of the 'Destiny' path, if we need to worry about potion ingredients, I think we might as well just commit suicide and become someone else's potion ingredients.

"No, even if you are not an angel, this may be the best solution... After all, there was once such a 'winner' who committed suicide in front of me.

“I think that when I really need the extraordinary characteristic of ‘Prophet’, there will be no shortage of people willing to give me a copy of the extraordinary characteristic of ‘Prophet’. Not to mention trading, maybe someone will be willing to give it to me for free.

“Why do you think…I will choose you? "

Klein was behind Bernadette, watching Alice completing the negotiation alone, and felt relieved.

She has grown up a lot, which is not easy, especially for her...

This is not because Klein doubts Alice's intelligence. In Klein's opinion, Alice is actually smarter than Emlyn and Derrick, and even smarter than Audrey.

Apart from her unusual thinking, Klein believes that the main reason why Alice looks like a naive person is precisely because she is too lucky.

She has no need to use her brain at all.

She actually learns things very quickly, but her mind is not on learning at all... No, she seems too lazy to use it even if she has learned it.

Fate... However, does the "fate" path have the potential to become a profiteer?

Thinking of Alice's repeated claims that the diary was something that should have been given to her, Klein fell into deep thought.

"...What do you need? "Bernadette tried to ask.

Alice did not answer Bernadette's question directly, but touched her chin and glanced at Klein, and asked curiously:

"Why don't you use him to threaten me?

"You should have been on the ship for a long time, and you should be able to see that he is different from others in my place, right?"

At Alice's suggestion, Klein collected his thoughts and looked at Alice expressionlessly.

"...As you said, you are an angel now." Bernadette glanced at German Sparrow behind her and answered calmly.

Alice blinked, and suddenly remembered the disdainful look Bernadette gave her when they first met, and Bernadette's behavior of bringing her here without permission, and the "you" that she blurted out at the beginning.

However, she should also know that if I didn't agree, she would never bring me here... Forget it, why should I find excuses to make trouble for her? I am negotiating, I should find faults with her...

Alice retracted her thoughts, looked at Bernadette, and smiled:

"But, you don't seem to respect me at all.

"At least, I don't feel your respect for me.

"You are braver than Cattleya... Oh, by the way, what is your relationship?"

Alice showed a curious look. (End of this chapter)
