Mystery: Lucky

Ask, what road? She was going to see the seal of the Western Continent... uh, that didn't require asking for directions.

Alice recalled with difficulty what she wanted to do at the time, and she asked the chief:

"I actually want to ask... uh, you live... here, is there a way to teleport from one place to another?"

She swallowed back the "Silver City" that she almost blurted out.

She didn't seem to know about the Silver City... uh, no, it seemed that whether it was the name of "The Fool" or "The True Creator", it shouldn't be strange to say this word...

So...

Alice suddenly had an inspiration. After the chief said that they didn't have this method, she moved towards the chief and asked curiously:

"Don't you want to ask about the Fool?

"I've always been curious about you, and... well, anyway, don't you find it strange to hear the name "Fool"?

"Who would call themselves a fool..."

The chief's expression didn't change at all. He didn't even turn his head to look at Derrick, but just sat there like a stone statue.

As soon as such offensive words were spoken, the members of the Silver City exploration team who did not know who the Fool was, including Leo Master, all fell silent, and Leo Master's face was particularly pale.

In the end, Derrick was the calmest among the people present. After a long silence, he looked at his companions who dared not speak and the chief who did not know how to react, recalled the words and deeds of "Hanged Man" Alger and "Hermit" Cattleya, and said carefully:

"I... I think no one has thought about it in this direction.

"We are not like you, who are good at thinking about problems in a unique way."

Alice looked at Derrick hesitantly, and asked with a bit of uncertainty in her tone:

"Are you scolding me?"

Derrick began to choose his words again.

At this time, Antierna beside Alice said boldly:

"No.

"We really think your thinking is unique, we have never thought about it this way..."

Alice turned her head and looked at her.

Dolores beside her was holding her hand. Seeing Alice looking over, Dolores's hand tightened a little, and Antierna's body also obviously stiffened a little.

She pulled a smile from the corner of her mouth amid Alice's slightly frowned brows, took a deep breath and said:

"We haven't seen anyone from outside. Is it abnormal outside?"

...Is it not easy to find this excuse?

Alice certainly didn't think Derrick was scolding her, or rather, she felt that Derrick didn't have the courage to do so - she was just used to talking like this.

But now it seems that her jokes seem to scare people...

Alice sighed and looked around, and found that even if everyone was sitting, she was the shortest one.

...Enough.

She turned her head and looked at the hands of Antierna and Dolores, and suddenly had a good idea.

After all, the height of parents actually affects the height of their children... Hey, that's not right, how tall I grow is not that related to my parents... Maybe the upper limit of Silver City is a little higher?

Alice retracted her gaze and asked them:

"After you get married, do you plan to have children? How many? Boys and girls?"

The topic jumped too quickly. Antierna, who never expected Alice to ask such a question, paused for a moment, thought for a moment and explained:

"In Silver City, when we reach a certain age, we will be forced to get married and leave offspring..."

Alice frowned all of a sudden, and she asked hesitantly:

"If, I mean if, if I become your child, do I also need to be forced to get married and leave offspring?"

...Ah?

Antierna showed a look of "What are you talking about?"

Well, she doesn't seem to know about this kind of thing... That's right, this rule was not set by her...

Thinking of this, Alice turned her head to look at Chief Colin Iliad and repeated her question:

"Chief, Chief, if one day in the future, I am born as the child of the two of them, or other people in Silver City, then when I grow up, will I also be forced to marry and have offspring like other people?"

The Chief was silent for two seconds, and his eyes passed over Derrick who continued to pretend to be dead, and asked tentatively:

"Can you explain what you said?"

Alice looked at him in confusion, thought about it, and tried to organize her words:

"That is, if one day, um... if one day, I died...

"No, it should be said that I abandoned this body now, and then was born as the child of a resident of Silver City...

"Well, in this case, do I also need to get married and have children when I grow up like other residents of Silver City?"

Need, need it...?

The Chief didn't ask how Alice did it. The knowledgeable Chief realized from Alice's natural attitude that this strange and bizarre thing might be normal for Him.

Angel of Destiny... The Chief's eyes were fixed on Alice, and he remembered the exploration that brought Jack back.

After leaving the loop, he actually remembered the experience during this period, and realized that their turning point probably came from the Fool and Derrick's help - but he didn't tell anyone.

Considering the mural from the "Angel of Destiny" Ouroleus, the chief understood that this matter must be inseparable from the Angel of Destiny, and it was probably equally easy for the "Angel of Destiny" thing.

So, it seems normal that the Alice in front of her has the same weird ability.

What's not normal may be his personality and way of thinking. At least the moment the "Angel of Destiny" Ourolius appeared, he wasn't so... huh? actually……

The chief suddenly remembered that Alice was actually normal when she first appeared. She was really like a "King of Angels" under the chief, gentle and compassionate. At first, he even really thought that she was here to save Silver City.

Until Leo Master appeared and revealed his identity.

... Could it be that the "Angel of Destiny" Ouroleus actually has this kind of character?

This, this is not impossible...

The chief cautiously did not continue to think about it, but replied to Alice:

"We have no precedent for this."

"Then let's set this rule now!" Alice stretched out her hand and patted the floor. "I can then decide whether to do this or not..."

Upon hearing this, the chief glanced at Alice and replied with a unchanged voice:

"need."

Alice immediately opened her eyes wide.

"This is the price we have to pay for the continuation of Silver City," the chief's expression was firm and his voice was solemn, "Everyone, no matter who they are, has never violated it."

Ah... Alice blinked, and with the chief's firm attitude, she gave up the sudden idea:

"Okay, okay...

"Well...now that you're here, I have one more thing to do."

"What?" the chief asked, looking at her.

Alice replied thoughtfully:

"I remember there were a lot of monsters here... So, have you ever encountered a... kind of snake?

"You may not have actually seen it. It usually appears in inaccessible places with a certain history. It does not launch a frontal attack. Most of the time it only uses the surrounding environment to attack... You may feel that you have become special. Bad luck.

"It seems to also make people move slowly and have confused thinking... huh?"

Alice looked doubtfully at the chief who seemed to have something to say.

In Alice's sight, the chief said to her:

“We discovered the ruins of a city, and anyone who comes near that ruin will become unlucky, which will dissipate after returning for a while.

“I tried to lead people to explore, but nothing was found, and no unlucky symptoms appeared.

"But after a while, people passing by became unlucky again, but whether it was monsters or other abnormalities, we never found them."

Alice sat upright all of a sudden, and she answered slightly excitedly:

"They can predict deadly threats in advance and avoid them!"

This was the one that impressed Alice the most in Edwina's story. In her opinion, the Crow Shadow Snake with this one was nearly invincible without restraint.

And no one knows whether the "winner" level of anti-divination can restrain this... As for the attack power and defense power, everyone is not very good anyway, Alice thinks that she can hire someone to kill them.

Provided it can be found.

The chief looked at Alice's shining eyes, thought for a moment, and asked tentatively:

"Do you need directions to the ruins of that city?"

"Ah?" Alice looked at him blankly. After a few seconds, she reacted belatedly, "...I want to kill myself?"

She had no similar experience at all.

The chief was also surprised by Alice's reaction, but he did not explore the matter. Instead, he thought about it and asked:

"What level is the monster you are talking about?"

Alice touched her chin and replied:

"In terms of escape speed, it may be at the demigod level? The attack method probably depends on the on-site environment. As for the pure frontal attack power and defense power, well..."

Alice considered her words, raised her head and asked the chief:

"Did you feel any difficulty when you slashed me?"

The chief was silent.

Obviously not. The attack power of a hastily swung sword is far less than that of a carefully prepared one, but even then, the chief separated Alice's head and body smoothly...

This description gave the chief a good idea of ​​the monster's combat effectiveness. He analyzed it carefully and then confirmed to Alice:

"So the hardest part is actually finding it?"

Alice nodded.

This sounds much simpler, but Alice is really not someone who can reassure people. The chief looked at the members of the Silver City exploration team, and finally said to Alice:

"We are planning to clear out the afternoon town and set up a camp near here..."

The chief could not continue speaking, because Alice suddenly jumped on him, grabbed his clothes, and complained to him with tears in her eyes:

"Woo, you, how could you be like this? Wuwuwu, I thought you were a good person. Wuwuwuwu, but in the end, in the end, you were not even willing to satisfy my small request. Wuwuwuwuwuwuwu..."

Amid her sobs, the chief turned his neck stiffly to look at Derrick.

Derrick finally stopped pretending to be dead. He and the others opened their mouths in shock and were stunned. It was obviously the first time they had encountered such a situation.

Alice cried very professionally and skillfully. Her tear glands were like the valve of a faucet. She could open and release at will.

When the chief twisted his neck back, he could already feel that his clothes were soaked.

"I will send an exploration team to go with you," the chief replied expressionlessly, "Derrick, Haim, Joshua, you lead the way."

"Thank you." Alice shook her ears twice while crying, stopped crying immediately, wiped her tears and sat back in her original position, "But there is no need to rush... Well, there is no need to rush."

This is not that Alice is delaying time, but in the "God-forsaken Land" where there is no concept of time, Alice feels that her days have become confused, and she urgently needs a tarot reading to figure out the current time.

"Let's put it this way," Alice thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Fool should call me recently... He'll ask me for something. I'll tell you after He finds me."

...

On Monday morning, Anderson, wearing a deerstalker hat that he got from nowhere, handed Klein a Loen gold coin:

"This is the money for yesterday's meal and hotel. You should pay me back... No, no need to pay it back!"

In the eyes of Gehrman Sparrow, Anderson gave up the idea of ​​asking him for change and asked eagerly:

"What was the result of your inquiry?"

Claire took the Loen gold coin, shook it twice with her hand, and replied with a smile: "She asked you to go to the church of the goddess of night to pray."

"Ah?" Anderson looked at him blankly.

"It's normal," Klein kept smiling, "After all, you know that she is an angel of the Church of Night in a sense."

After two seconds of silence, Anderson asked the same question as Klein yesterday: "Are you sure I can really make it to the Church of Night alive?"

"Not sure." Klein replied with a smile.

After a few seconds of silence, Anderson gritted his teeth and said to Klein:

"I still owe you 7,000 pounds!"

Klein glanced at Anderson and replied calmly:

"So, I won't let you go until you pay me back."

"Of course, if you choke to death again because of drinking water, then I can't do anything."

Anderson gritted his teeth and decided to try again:

"So... there are spells that impose bad luck, but aren't there spells that remove bad luck?

"Even if it's not convenient for Him to come now, you, you should have such a spell, right? Or, or you can ask Him to make a few now, if possible..." (End of this chapter)
