Mystery: Lucky

In the camp next to the town in the afternoon, after explaining the situation to the chief, Alice sneaked into the exploration team.

Unlike the chief, who was more cautious, they had a mixture of fear and curiosity towards Alice. Under Alice's overly down-to-earth behavior, she soon found herself in a position similar to that of Leo Master - in While eating, I was pestered to ask about "outside" stories.

During the second meal, Alice saw them taking out pancakes made from black grass. The pancakes were so dark that they felt like they were not food.

Of course, it was better than the meat she saw in the hands of the people surrounding Leomaster at first, which looked like it came from some unknown monster.

Alice had a hard time resisting asking how she could eat this kind of food, but it affected her appetite, and she temporarily gave up her original idea of ​​letting Klein deliver takeout.

...Let’s wait until we leave here.

Alice closed her eyes, and after ten seconds, she leaned against a pillar and fell asleep.

When her body swayed and fell to the ground, everyone in Silver City was horrified. When it was finally confirmed that she was sleeping, everyone was inevitably confused.

...Are all people outside like this?

Everyone looked at Leo Master, then at Alice, and gradually became confused.

Derrick quickly stopped paying attention to this matter. After all, to Alice, nothing that happened seemed strange. He was just shocked for a moment and continued to do what he should do.

When he received the notice to prepare for the party, Derrick glanced at Alice and found that she got up rubbing her eyes, looked around, and then lay back down.

...?

At three o'clock in the afternoon, he appeared above the gray fog with a confused look on his face. Everyone was sitting where they should be, and "Justice" Audrey's greeting sounded as usual:

"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool~"

Well, Miss Destiny didn't look energetic, and Mr. Sun was a little excited... After taking the opportunity to say hello and looking around at everyone, Audrey said:

"I hope to get the complete pituitary gland of the young psychic dragon, or 60 ml of the spinal fluid of the black hunting dragon, and a fruit of the psychedelic wind chime tree."

Hey, Miss "Justice" is about to be promoted?

Alice glanced at Audrey curiously, habitually remaining silent on similar topics.

After a moment of silence, Cattleya the Hermit responded:

“Since the Fifth Age, the psychic dragon has been almost extinct and is difficult to find.

"I have a way to get the spinal fluid of the Black Hunter lizard, but it also takes two to three weeks and costs between 1,500 and 2,000 pounds because it's not something I can decide.

"I will help you inquire about the fruit of the psychedelic wind chime, but there is no guarantee that I will get any news."

So efficient...is it so easy?

"No problem." After a brief shock, Audrey saluted slightly.

Such high efficiency, is this the pirate general's connections... Alice glanced at Cattleya enviously, and an idea suddenly popped into her mind:

"I have... No, forget it, this is a bit too difficult for you."

"Miss Destiny, what's going on?" Audrey looked at Alice who was hesitant to speak in confusion.

Alice pinched her eyebrows, sighed and said:

"I want to find someone to help me confirm one thing... But firstly, the other person is a Sequence 1 Archangel, and secondly... so far, we still have a life-or-death relationship."

Sequence 1... A life-or-death relationship... Audrey, Alger, and Cattleya, who were originally paying attention to Alice's words, all withdrew their gazes. "Magician" Forsi even prayed in his heart that Alice would not notice her. .

She actually wanted to find out whether Will Asceptin had his last dream, even though she had basically determined the answer.

Frankly speaking, if she followed the guidance of the dream, there would probably be no danger even if she asked in person. But the crux of the problem was that Alice did not want Will Asceptin to know the truth of the dream.

That's the hardest part.

Oh, otherwise, let's just forget it... Alice sighed and found that no one offered to accept her commission, and no one asked, she was inexplicably relieved, and suddenly thought of another question.

…How long has it been since I was promoted?

After scanning a circle of Tarot Club members whose ranks had gradually caught up with hers, Alice fell into deep thought.

She, is she too confused...

During Alice's brief confession, Forsi straightened his back and issued the commission:

“Everyone, are you interested in taking on a killing mission?

"The target was a prominent member of the cult."

Alice glanced at Forsi in surprise.

This is not like a commission she would issue... Thinking this, Alice looked at the crazy adventurer Mr. World who had not returned yet.

After Klein was promoted to Sequence 5, the "world" became obviously much more lively. After Alice was surprised for a few seconds, she realized that she had not asked Klein about Sequence 5's abilities.

The Puppet Master...well, if he contacted the circus, he wouldn't be a puppeteer...

Alice suppressed the desire to laugh out loud just in time.

Alice is not the only one who looks at "The World". In the eyes of everyone except Alice, Mr. "The World" has a special hobby of hunting extraordinary people and has sufficient abilities.

Klein, who was not in Backlund, just laughed hoarsely and gave a very professional response:

"Where? What organization?

"Sequence number? What are the characteristics of his abilities?"

Alice lowered her head in silence, and began to wonder if anyone felt that the "world" was in a better mood after hearing that there was someone to kill.

"Magician" Fors responded happily:

"He is the god's messenger of the Aurora Society. In Backlund, he used to be Sequence 6, and now he may be Sequence 5, but I'm not sure.

"He can record the extraordinary abilities used by others and use them once. He is good at escaping from trouble and is difficult to be surrounded. He may also be able to travel through the spirit world..."

"You know, Miss 'Magician'," Alice interrupted suddenly, "I just met the angel of the 'Aurora Society' and am now with the saint of the 'Aurora Society'. "

In silence, "Sun" Derrick remembered Alice's unique self-introduction.

...Should I tell Mr. Fool about this?

Derrick looked at Alice, then at Mr. Fool in the gray fog, and decided to learn from Mr. "Hanged Man".

"Magician" Fors hesitated because of Alice's words. She was not sure what Alice wanted to express. While hesitating, "World" spoke first:

"It sounds like you are having a lot of fun over there?"

Alice nodded.

Over there...?

"Justice" Audrey looked at Alice with curiosity and confusion, and asked Alice:

"Ms. Destiny, are you now in the 'Aurora Society'... uh, the headquarters of the 'Aurora Society'?"

"You can also say that," Alice touched her chin, "because the sanctuary of the 'True Creator' is on the mountain next to me. "

Eh???

Audrey's eyes widened. Alice shook her calves and continued:

"It's just that the 'True Creator' is too fierce. I just pretended to be His angel. Didn't He scold me so harshly..."

Derrick didn't need to worry about it now.

Pretend, pretend to be His angel?

Audrey opened her mouth in surprise. She looked around and judged from the expressions of others that she had not heard wrong.

...Is this just scolding you?!

It was no secret that someone pretended to be a follower of the Fool and was struck to death by lightning a few months ago, and Alice's obviously more excessive behavior sounded like she was just scolded—— The "Real" Creator and Mr. Fool should be hostile gods, right? !

"Justice" Audrey, "Hanged Man" Alger, and "Hermit" Cattleya all looked at Mr. Fool in the gray fog at the same time. "Sun" Derrick and "World" followed everyone's actions a few beats later.

Under the cover of the gray fog, Klein finally understood why Alice didn't tell him what she had done.

Serious blasphemy - it sounded like it happened under the nose of the "Real Creator".

He looked at Alice, who looked guilty after reacting, and asked in a calm voice:

"Who are you impersonating?"

Yes, who are you impersonating... The focus of the Tarot Club shifted to Alice again.

Ten seconds later, Alice put away her guilty expression and answered decisively:

"No, you heard it wrong.

"I have never done anything like that."

Derrick looked at Alice hesitantly. Recalling Derrick's performance at this Tarot Club, Klein finally confirmed that he knew about it. So in the thick gray fog, the Fool's calm voice sounded again:

"Mr. 'Sun', do you know about this?"

Alice began to look at Derrick with a threatening look.

Feeling Alice's gaze, Derrick sat there nervously until Klein called Alice lightly:

"Destiny?"

The Fool's calm voice rarely rose. After a slight silence, Alice said:

"I pretended to be Ouroboros!"

Oh, Ouroboros...

This was not a very unexpected answer. The only thing that needed to be shocked was Alice's audacity. Before Klein spoke again, Alice said first:

"Don't be angry!

"The 'True Creator' didn't do anything to me! "

The words that Klein was about to say were stuck in his throat. He looked at Alice and suddenly realized something - he had to either be promoted to a level where he could beat Alice, or be promoted to a level where he could back her up. Otherwise, with Alice's personality, she would get into big trouble sooner or later.

Unless he ignored her.

He sighed in his heart and felt a sense of urgency for promotion.

"Go on." He said calmly.

This was considered to be exposing the matter, or maybe he planned to settle the score after the Tarot Club was over - who knew?

This was not something they could find out. In the silence, "The World" was the first to break the silence:

"Who of you has the formula for the potion of Sequence 4 of the 'Fortune Teller' path, or clues? ”

So soon? Mr. World is already at Sequence 4? No, wait…

Audrey “Justice” suddenly realized something.

When she was still in Backlund, Alice once let slip an insignificant thing—she once called Sequence 4 of The World and The Fool the Circus Master or the Circus.

This was just a joke, and the only information that could be revealed was that The World and The Fool belonged to the same path. For the Followers, this was not a big deal.

But at this moment, when The World began to purchase the potion formula, Audrey realized a problem—didn’t Mr. Fool have it?

In any case, accumulating contributions to ask for it from Mr. Fool is definitely easier than buying it from outside. Doesn't Mr. Fool's organization have a system of accumulating contributions in exchange for potion formulas and materials? Or...

No, Audrey, you can't speculate like that. This is probably a test from Mr. Fool!

At the moment when the unnecessary doubts were about to emerge, Audrey stopped her thoughts in time and found an excuse.

There is no doubt that this is a successful excuse. The more Audrey thought about it, the more correct it felt, and soon she succeeded in convincing herself.

In the eyes of the world, "Sun" Derrick and "Moon" Emlyn both shook their heads, and Alice raised her hand and answered:

"Night."

This answer was concise and successfully attracted Audrey's attention for the second time.

As a believer of the goddess, and with Alice's unconcealed performance, she understood that this referred to the Church of Night.

So they are all churches and gods, why can't we ask Mr. Fool, but we can ask the goddess...?

Audrey suddenly remembered that "the world" had suggested reporting to the Church of Night more than once.

... Is Mr. Fool's relationship with the goddess this good? !

Audrey looked at Alice in surprise, but she didn't think it was that surprising - Miss Fate sounded like she was raised by the Goddess of Night.

So, Mr. World is helping Mr. Fool take care of the child, and Mr. Fool is helping the Goddess of Night take care of the child. Mr. World is Mr. Fool's favored one, so...

Ha, how could Mr. Fool be the favored one of the Goddess of Night, Audrey, what are you thinking? !

In a corner where no one knew, Audrey marked the correct answer she had just deduced as a possible truth.

Except for Alice, no one spoke again, so Klein gave up. He decided to wait for Mr. Azik's response while understanding the acting method.

If Mr. Azik and Arrodes don't have any clues, I will try to find the goddess...

Thinking in this way, Klein manipulated the "world" to say to the "magician" Fors:

"I can consider taking over your commission, but not in the near future, at least in two months."

This is the time he reserved for returning to Backlund.

"Two months later..." "Magician" Fors repeated this time very hesitantly.

This is a bit too long. She is not sure when Louis Wayne, whom she wants to assassinate, will stay in Backlund.

Alice looked at the two of them thoughtfully, and asked the "magician" Fors a key question:

"Miss 'magician', do you... have money?"

She remembered that the "magician" asked about ways to make money at the Tarot Club. (End of this chapter)
