Mystery: Lucky

In Alice's understanding, this shouldn't be something that needed to be hidden, but Bernadette seemed a little bit embarrassed about it. She only answered one sentence:

"I am the 'Queen of Mystery'."

This is a name that is familiar to Alice. This name alone is enough for Alice to understand the relationship between Bernadette and Cattleya, as well as the reason why Bernadette made this answer - after all, no one Will enjoy telling others about his not-so-good memories.

Of course, this is under normal circumstances.

Alice actually wanted to try and see if Bernadette would tell her if she showed interest in the story, but Alice finally gave up and asked Bernadette a question:

"Did you know...in the dream here, there is...there is something very strange.

"It will choose someone inexplicably, and then that person will go crazy, looking for the key to unlock all the treasures..."

Bernadette showed a look of confusion that was visible to the naked eye.

"It seems you haven't heard of it either." Alice looked away in disappointment and looked around, looking for the exit of the library.

Alice's behavior showed her gradual loss of patience, which made Bernadette become anxious. She realized that if she didn't come up with something that could impress Alice, the meeting would end in vain.

What should be done... Bernadette thought anxiously, her brows couldn't help but frown. Her eyes passed over the bookshelf beside Alice, and finally landed on the book that Alice was playing with. On the blasphemy card on the card face.

I have missed the best time to make a deal with Him... I can't come up with anything that is enough to make an angel of the "destiny" path excited...

No, actually I took it out, but He didn’t want to trade with me. He refused. He said that some people would be willing to trade with Him, and even give things to Him...give to Him?

Bernadette suddenly realized something. She looked at Alice, or to be precise, at the card in Alice's hand, and said to her:

"If you like this, I will give it to you when I get back.

"Of course, this requires you to provide me with a way to give it to you first..."

Alice looked at her with probing eyes, touched her chin and asked, "Didn't Cattleya tell you?"

Bernadette stood there awkwardly. Seeing that she didn't speak, Alice pushed further:

"You're not going to use this as a bargaining chip? What are you going to do?"

"As you said, I have missed the best time to trade with you." Bernadette lowered her head and assumed a humble posture in front of Alice.

What does this mean... is she trying to please me again? No, please, she was trying to please me, but...

Alice looked at Bernadette, who was actually taller than her in a humble posture, and felt a little pain.

Alas, on the bright side, at least she is not 2.5 meters tall like Leo Master... Thinking of that embarrassing scene, Alice closed her eyes and decided to stop Bernadette from continuing:

"I can't make a decision on this kind of thing by myself. It's useless for you to just ask me!"

Bernadette was slightly startled.

"No one would trust a child to make a decision, madam." Gehrman Sparrow finished his first and last speech in this meeting, and walked from behind Bernadette. Alice's side.

"Are you leaving?" he asked Alice.

Alice blinked, turned her head, smiled at Klein, and said to him in an unprecedented gentle tone:

"How can you even think about leaving? What a precious opportunity it is to study in a dream. You should cherish this opportunity!

"Look, there is such a big library with so many books in it, you should stay here until you finish reading the books!

"However, considering that you have other things to do, this is a bit unrealistic, but you can stay until you leave the sea of ​​ruins!

"Why don't you ask the owner of this library to let you stay here and study?"

After Alice and Klein, who gradually showed an expression of disbelief, looked at each other for more than ten seconds, as if he accepted her suggestion, Klein turned to Bernadette and asked:

"Madam, what price do I need to pay to continue to study here?"

Bernadette looked at Alice and then at Klein, and the expression on her face gradually became confused.

...Should she care about this kind of thing?

After recalling what Cattleya had done when she was on the ship, Bernadette finally made a decision:

"No, no need.

"You can always stay here if you want."

Alice showed a proud smile, reached out and patted Klein on the shoulder, and said to him sincerely:

"Even after you graduate from college, don't forget to study hard. You must work hard and become a cultured and accomplished adventurer!"

In Klein's blank eyes, a dazzling light illuminated the entire library. As noon arrived, they woke up from their dream.

The first thing Alice did was to get on the deck. She remembered that before falling asleep, they were already approaching the mermaid, and she didn't want to miss the mermaid's appearance.

Nearly an hour later, thin, ethereal singing came from a distance, and Alice closed her eyes and listened carefully.

The scene ahead appeared in front of her with singing. Alice saw a reef and a graceful figure sitting on the reef and singing.

They had human bodies and fish tails like in fairy tales, scales covering their chests, and beautiful faces, not as ugly as some legends say.

Fortunately, it was a fairy tale version of a mermaid, not the ugly and scary one, nor the one with a fish head and human legs... Should we also rule out the left and right?

Seeing that her thoughts were running wild again, Alice forcibly pulled her attention back, opened her eyes and said to Klein:

"You can adjust your state and prepare for promotion."

With Alice's words as a guarantee, Klein gave up the plan to return to the gray fog to do divination. He said to Cattleya:

"I need a boat."

"It's ready." Cattleya pointed to the side of the boat without any hesitation.

Seeing this, Klein turned his head and reminded Alice, who seemed to be eager to jump down and catch a mermaid:

"If you want to get close to mermaids, the Church of the Night has captive mermaids."

Alice hesitated and stopped, and only murmured until Klein left the "Future":

"Since the church has them, why does he have to find them himself..." (End of this chapter)
