Mystery: Lucky

"Eh?" Alice looked at him with a puzzled look, "Why...oh, do you have a clue to the potion formula?"

"Antigonus' notes are in St. Samuel's Church." Klein reminded her.

Of course Alice knew this. She just frowned and realized something. She asked slightly hesitantly:

"Are you planning to...steal the notes?"

Klein nodded.

"Do you still remember..." Alice's expression gradually became weird, "In a sense, I am a member of the church...or a person of the goddess."

"Um...well..." Klein watched Alice lost in thought. Obviously, he had not considered the possibility that Alice would report him.

Although I can't file a complaint, I can probably use it to threaten him... But if it's a goddess, I shouldn't need to file a complaint if he plans to steal the notes...?

Alice looked at Klein, half-cupped her chin with her hand, and suddenly had a good idea. She said to Klein with bright eyes:

"Tell me, can I ask the goddess for a bishop or something..."

"?" Klein looked at her in astonishment.

Alice blinked, and the sudden thought gradually became clear in her mind:

"No, a goddess with such a high position probably can't trust me... Nighthawk or Red Glove? Or maybe I am an angel of the Church of the Night - anyway, it's pretty much exposed.

"In this case, if you make me unhappy then, I will...I will stop you!"

"...You can become an angel if you don't go to church." Klein reminded politely.

"But," Alice raised her chin, "In this case, I can explore the underground of St. Samuel's Church - I can also take apart a copy of the sealed items inside and give it to you... Uh, wait a minute. , isn’t your confidentiality level enough?”

Alice suddenly remembered a crucial question.

No, why do you have to consider my confidentiality level when you help me steal Antigonus's notes... If I can see the notes in a normal way, do I still need to steal them?

Alice's words made Klein even more confused. He thought about it and asked tactfully:

"What level of confidentiality do you think a wanted person has?"

Once the resurrection from the dead is discovered, without the endorsement of the goddess, it will definitely be at the level of a wanted criminal.

Alice lowered her head. She realized the error in her thinking and put forward a new suggestion:

"Then I have another good idea.

"You can write me as...well, lover in your new identity. It doesn't feel right. Others may think you are a bit too perverted. Maybe...daughter?"

After all, if he didn't plan to let me sneak in, he would have to find a way to get in by himself or try to bribe the Nighthawks... In short, he would definitely have to contact the church, which means there can't be any problem with his identity...

Although filling in "me" in the relationship column would definitely be a big problem, but the church probably wouldn't investigate after seeing it...?

...Probably?

Alice lowered her head and fell into thought.

Even if you don’t look like a minor, if I say you are my lover, people will probably look at me strangely. If I say you are a daughter, people will think there are serious problems with my family education. The most important thing is Yes, you appeared next to Gehrman Sparrow... I shouldn't write you in the relationship column!

Klein pinched his eyebrows and tried to understand Alice's thoughts: "What good will this do to me?"

"Oh," Alice blinked, "as long as you write me in the relationship, the church will not worry about whether there is a problem with your identity - because there must be a big problem."

"...?" Klein glared at her.

Alice shrank her neck and tried to argue: "This way they won't investigate you...at least they won't suspect that you want to go into the church underground to steal something? Because I can just take it..."

This sentence is correct - there was no problem with this sentence before Alice snatched the donation box from the "Storm Lord" church and sent the money to the Church of the Night.

As for now... Klein looked at Alice and shook his head.

"What do you mean!" Alice slapped the table on the spot.

"Alice," Klein ignored her anger and called her, "I'm really weird sometimes... Does the goddess not care about you at all?"

Alice blinked and waited for him to finish.

Klein glanced at her and then said:

"When we were only in Tingen City, I seemed to take care of you a little bit... but in fact, I didn't take care of you much?

"Backlund...actually it doesn't mean I don't care about you at all, it just..."

Klein considered his words.

Alice thought along Klein's words.

The goddess actually didn't care about her at all, but it seemed that the goddess would not take the initiative to interfere in her affairs unless...unless she was about to die?

No, not entirely, but it seems that only on some more critical occasions, the goddess will appear...

Alice touched her chin and recalled what Archbishop Anthony had said to her.

Do I have to make my own decisions about my matters... Speaking of which, I was also a person on that tower... Should this be the advice of my past? I don’t know what I said at the time...

Alice shook her calf, looked at Klein, and pretended to be serious:

"The goddess does not want to interfere with my destiny."

Unfortunately, her acting skills were full of problems most of the time - the main reason was that she didn't put her heart into it most of the time.

Klein easily saw that Alice was acting, and he didn't expose her, but just brought up another topic:

"I remember you were collecting materials for your Sequence 4 potion?"

Alice nodded.

Klein asked hesitantly:

"I remember you've been collecting for a long time, right... ? You haven't collected all the materials by the time I reach Sequence 4..."

"...No," Alice closed her eyes, "I saw the potion materials that I was promoted to Sequence 3 two days ago... No, not really, but anyway, someone wanted to give me a sealed item, which was composed of the extraordinary characteristics of the 'Doom Mage' and the 'Chaos Walker' - these are the names of my Sequence 4 and Sequence 3 potions respectively."

Klein looked at her in surprise, and then couldn't help but envy her.

Oh, that's great...

"But," Alice interrupted her envy, "I ran away after hearing the news."

"Why?" Klein asked in surprise.

After asking this question, he paused, as if he remembered something and asked:

"Are you worried that this is arranged? Even so, you can take the extraordinary characteristics first and continue to collect the remaining main materials..."

"Then after I collected the main materials, I accidentally swallowed the seal." Alice had a blank expression.

She was not talking nonsense, this incident really happened. At that time, she collected the auxiliary materials of the "Winner" potion because she didn't want to swallow the extraordinary characteristics directly. Unfortunately, the materials she collected were not used.

Of course, this decision is not without problems. After listening to Alice's words, Klein tactfully reminded:

"...Will similar situations not happen if you don't want it?"

Alice retorted: "At least, I think I should be able to hold on until I get the potion materials of Sequence 4, Sequence 3... Sequence 3 will be discussed later."

Talk about it later...It is indeed an answer that fits her style.

Klein, who no longer envied Alice's luck, could not help but envy Alice's good attitude.

Alas, if I had such a good attitude, I would not have thought of volunteering for the sake of acting, and I would not have...

He paused, and his expression became subtle. Obviously, the more than two months of cleaning toilets were not a good memory.

Alice didn't know what Klein was thinking. After finding that he seemed to have nothing to say, Alice waved and said goodbye to him:

"I'm going back to continue my journey? If you don't see me at the Tarot Club next week, or I didn't reply to your message in the middle... then I either ran into Amon or was busy on the way.

"In short, there will definitely not be the same problem as before. After all, there was no problem with that fog... If you really want to worry, at least you have to wait until I return to the ruins of the God War... Wait a minute.

"...Will I fall into the sea when I leave the 'Forsaken Land of God'?"

This...it seems possible...

This question made the two people look at each other in surprise above the gray fog. Finally, Alice made a generous closing speech:

"It doesn't matter. I don't even know how to get out. We'll talk about it later!"

She made the decision, so the matter ended there. They returned to the real world. Alice opened her eyes and supported her body to sit up from the ground, but suddenly felt that something was wrong.

The spirit jumped for a while. Alice looked around according to the warning of the spirit, and finally landed on an extra coffin.

...Why does this coffin look familiar?

Alice blinked and walked forward. After carefully observing the coffin, she turned out a familiar scene from her memory-she seemed to have lain in a coffin similar to this one.

...I lie in it again?

Alice was stunned for a moment. She looked around, but didn't find the figure that might be Amon. She frowned and looked at the coffin in front of her again.

"Hey, come out," Alice reached out and knocked on the coffin, "You're not really going to lie down in it and show me how a corpse sits up... Then at least don't suddenly turn into a coffin, it won't scare people at all..."

Her mumbling did not get the expected response, no one paid attention to her, as if the coffin was really left for her to lie in.

"......?" Alice hesitated for two seconds, raised her foot and kicked the coffin hard, then turned and ran.

Soon, she subconsciously stopped, and a hand made of joints almost grabbed her ankle at the same time-the good news is that at least she didn't fall.

If under normal circumstances, a person walking alone in the dark, found a coffin, and was suddenly grabbed by such a hand after leaving a certain range of the coffin, it would be a horror story.

And if this incident is linked to Amon...it would be an even better horror story.

"Let go," Alice said calmly, "I can't turn around like this."

The hand made of joints obediently loosened her ankle, making a "crackling" sound.

Seeing this, Alice ran away, then stepped on a monster limb that came out of nowhere and fell to the ground.

“Hahahaha,” a loud laugh and the sound of bones rubbing against each other came from behind, “Can the ‘fate’ path be so unlucky?”

Normally, I wouldn't, but considering how often I meet you, maybe I shouldn't run away...

Alice got up from the ground expressionlessly, turned around and walked back to the coffin, then squatted down and reached out to break the bones on the skeleton in anger.

——Lying in the coffin was a bare skeleton.

Unexpectedly, the skeleton was not strong, and she broke off a bone without much effort. What was even more surprising was that she seemed to have broken off some key part, and those bones were scattered all over the ground, and the skull fell on the piled bones.

Alice looked down at the bone in her hand with a blank face.

She spread her palms, and the dry bones began to wriggle in her palms, turning into two entangled time worms, which brought a slightly itchy touch between crawling and wriggling.

"?" Alice threw the worm back in horror, "Are you sick?"

However, the two wriggling time worms were like a signal. They fell on the piled bones and turned the bones on the ground, including the skull, into scattered time worms.

The worms were slender, some fatter, some thinner, and each had twelve links.

They entangled and wriggled with each other, they were densely packed, crawling in and out, they slowly gathered from the scattered pile, getting higher and higher, weaving into a complete person from bottom to top.

This person wore a black classical robe, a pointed soft hat, and a monocle on his right eye.

He bent down, stretched out a hand to Alice who was sitting on the ground, and smiled without apology:

"I'm so sorry... It seems that my gift scared you?"

"Who would call this a gift!" Alice shouted angrily.

She glared at Amon fiercely, and put her hand on him with a vigilant look, and asked with doubt:

"... Your hand won't suddenly turn into a bug, right?"

"You're only worried about this?" Amon looked at her half-surprised and half-amused, and slightly exerted force, watching her stand up, "So... your 'Destiny' path will also be unlucky enough to fall?"

"It's hard to say," Alice retracted her hand, "Maybe the true god of our path can be choked to death by his own saliva... Who knows?"

"Pah, pah, pah," Amon clapped his hands in admiration, "It's really worthy of destiny."

Alice glanced at Him, and did not take up the topic, but took the initiative to speak:

"Anyway... let's talk about what happened before.

"Why are you curious about who the protagonist of that comic is?" (End of this chapter)
