Mystery: Lucky

"The World" calmly answered "The Hermit" Cattleya's question:

"On the night of the death of the Crazy Captain, there was a high-sequence strongman on his ship who was suspected of being of the 'Black Emperor' path, but the demigod managed to escape before Yan Cotman arrived."

What a boring topic... Alice began to zone out out of boredom.

The good news is that this topic ends here, and Cattleya opened a new topic:

"There is another thing at sea. Last week, the crazy adventurer Gehrman Sparrow hunted the second mate of the 'Immortal King', 'Slaughterer' Gilcias, a Sequence 5 Beyonder."

"...Huh?" Alice turned her head in confusion.

She first looked at Cattleya to confirm the authenticity of the topic, then looked at "The World" and asked slightly absentmindedly:

"You... weren't you just at Sequence 5?

"I remember that before I entered the 'Land Abandoned by Gods', you were still very scared when you saw Gilcias..."

Just after being promoted to Sequence 5, he killed a long-famous and powerful Sequence 5 like "Slaughterer" Gilcias...

"The Hanged Man" Alger felt horrified and raised his evaluation of "The World" a notch higher.

"It turns out that Mr. World is..." "Magician" Forsi quickly spoke out his inference, but stopped abruptly when he met "The World"'s eyes.

"Justice" Audrey also thought about this matter, but she realized from the news about Kapin that "The World" is the knight-errant "Black Emperor", and he has his own filter for "The World", so she just praised him road:

"What a great interest...what a legendary adventurer."

"Moon" Emlyn opened his mouth and closed it again, feeling that he was still far away from such a level.

In silence, "The World" glanced at Alice and said coldly:

"You were scared too."

"Where can I get it!" Alice reached out and slapped the table.

"The World" obviously didn't take her anger seriously, and continued to remind: "Ask me if I can beat him."

This is a fact. Alice choked, clenched her fists and declared:

"Then I called him 9,500 pounds!"

"Hermit" Cattleya glanced at Alice vaguely, then looked at "The World".

... Who learned the habit of calling people by bounty?

If a god's favored person and a follower of the god both have certain habits, it means...

Cattleya suddenly had the urge to look at the head of the long bronze table.

At this moment, Alger, who had adjusted his mood, said after careful consideration:

"Speaking of bounties, because of the incident in Gilsea, investigating the origins of Gehrman Sparrow has become an important task for all major organizations."

Before anyone spoke, Alice made a suggestion excitedly:

"Do you know where to get the commission, Mr. 'The Hanged Man'? I think Mr. 'World' can go and get the bounty..."

Alger "The Hanged Man" looked at Gehrman Sparrow "The World" as if he hadn't heard anything.

What he probably means is that the Church of Storms also asked him to investigate... Klein controlled the "world" and laughed softly:

"If possible, I really don't mind providing some fragmentary clues to collect the reward."

Well, "world" means that he doesn't mind if I provide some unimportant information in exchange for rewards and trust?

"The Hanged Man" Alger nodded with understanding, and the surroundings became quiet again.

Alice thought for a moment, raised her hand and said, "I met residents other than Silver City in the 'Land Abandoned by Gods'..."

The members of the Tarot Society looked at Alice.

Alice then continued:

“They are very short and have varying degrees of deformity in many body parts, the most obvious one being facial deformity… which can even be described as scary.

"It should be a matter of food sources...because I haven't seen black-faced grass in other places in the 'Land Abandoned by Gods', that city - they call themselves Moon City.

"I haven't seen black-faced grass in or near Moon City."

From this point of view, Miss Destiny’s previous commission was not all because of Silver City... However, even so, it does not seem to be in line with Miss Destiny’s character...

“Justice” Audrey and others were thoughtful, while “Sun” Derrick thought for a while and asked:

"Miss Destiny, do you know where the people in Moon City are? Do you know more details? Have you... seen other cities?"

More details... other cities... Alice paused, shook her head and said:

"I didn't stay in Yuecheng for too long - it was too close, so close to..."

Alice paused and looked at the head of the long bronze table with a slight hesitation.

——Do you want to tell us about the Western Continent? Do you want to talk about the Western Continent sealed by gray mist?

Everyone in the Tarot Club was stunned for a moment, then realized that Alice was asking Mr. Fool for his opinion.

Does this matter have something to do with Mr. Fool...

While they were pondering, Klein was also thinking about this issue.

That gray fog seems to be related to the same source - even though there is no evidence, Klein still has full trust in Alice's guess.

"The Land Abandoned by the Gods" borders on the Western Continent. There is nothing to hide. Many people can even guess it themselves. When the existence of that fog is revealed, people can easily guess that the legendary Western Continent is hidden in it.

There is a high probability that the members of the Tarot Club will think of this castle above the gray mist from Alice's description, as well as him or his honorable name. So, how might they guess about this?

Perhaps Mr. Fool in the past sealed the Western Continent—this is the most likely guess.

The connection between Alice and the Western Continent can no longer be concealed, and it seems normal for The Fool to have contact with the Western Continent... The only problem is that, as the Fool himself, he does not know that he has sealed the Western Continent, nor does he know Why do you want to do this?

Then, if he is really the "Fool", he is really someone who wakes up from a long sleep, and what will he do when faced with things he has done but has no memory of?

Klein looked at Alice and nodded gently.

——If he really doesn't know anything about it, if he wants to know the truth, he will throw the question out and let more people find the answer.

After all, judging from Alice's meaning, the fog was clearly there, and the being who did all this seemed to have no intention of hiding it - it was as if he could wait for someone to discover the fog, and then think Try your best to clear up the fog.

Um? etc.

Klein suddenly realized something.

If this is the behavior of a god during his lifetime, what does this god want to do?

……recovery?

If this is the case, if you want to break the seal, you must do something that will prompt the god to resurrect...

This is not enough, there must be a reason, a reason why the seal must be opened. For example, there is something or something crucial hidden in the seal... For the vast majority of people who can see the fog, All very important things.

Non-existent hairs stood up on his back, and Klein realized that this was an upright conspiracy.

Alice didn't think much about it. After receiving permission, she glanced at the gray fog around her, then smiled and said:

"Moon City is too close to the Western Continent - I'm worried about what will happen if I stay there for too long."

"Western Continent?" "The Hanged Man" Alger was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that Miss Destiny in front of him seemed to be from the Western Continent.

He asked with a slight hesitation: "You, why did you go to Yuecheng...?"

Alice nodded and said:

"It can be said that it is for the Western Continent... Well, I want to tell you how I want to tell you.

"My destiny is in the Western Continent."

"But it seems that you didn't enter the Western Continent in the end?" "Hermit" Cattleya also asked aloud.

Alice shook her head and explained:

"It's not that I didn't enter the Western Continent... I couldn't enter at all.

"Where the 'Land Abandoned by Gods' borders the Western Continent, there is a gray mist - that is a seal."

At this point, Alice paused, turned to the head of the long bronze table, and then said quietly:

"Then it will probably take Mr. Fool, who has fully recovered, to solve it himself."

These words were like a thunderbolt hitting the minds of the Tarot Club members. "The Hanged Man" Alger and others realized that this might be the reason why Miss Destiny is sitting here today.

Regardless of the guidance of fate or her own thoughts, the ultimate goal is the same - she needs the fully revived Fool to open the seal.

"Although theoretically..." Alice looked away at Klein and faintly dropped the second thunderbolt, "Mr. Fool is not the only one who can do this kind of thing, but..."

Alice shook her head with a weird expression and said, "Among the people I know, Mr. Fool is the only one who is most reliable."

"The Hanged Man" Alger felt non-existent cold sweat slipping down his back.

…Miss Destiny, you’re not really hedging your bets, are you? !

...Even if it’s true, don’t say it in front of Mr. Fool!

While shouting crazily in his heart, he tried to turn his head to see Mr. Fool's expression.

——He wanted to follow his usual strategy of pretending to be dead, but he was worried that if they all chose this way, today's Tarot session would be their memorial day.

Regrettably, the gray fog obscured Mr. Fool’s expression, and he only heard Mr. Fool’s gentle voice:

"Oh? Who else do you know?"

…Is this a threat or a warning?

"The Hanged Man" Alger was sweating profusely and was forced to brainstorm.

He was afraid that the alliance between Miss Destiny and Mr. Fool would break down, which would affect Chi Yu - but unfortunately he couldn't say anything, and he didn't dare to say anything.

Those who had speculated about this probably had the same mood as "The Hanged Man" Alger. Even "Justice" Audrey, who wanted to ask questions the most, was silent at the moment.

"Uh," Alice paused, "I should actually have told you...but I just remembered that there is one thing I forgot to tell you...uh, I, I will tell you later."

Alice glanced at the people in the Tarot Club.

The thing she was referring to was the "Chernobyl" sound from Moon City High Priest Nimu - this was something she completely forgot to tell Klein.

However, Alice now has a new problem.

"Why are you so afraid?" She glanced at the Tarot Club members headed by "The Hanged Man" Alger in confusion.

After recalling the last few conversations between herself and Klein, Alice suddenly came up with an extremely absurd guess. She asked with slight hesitation:

"...You're not worried about a fight between me and Mr. Fool, are you?"

Klein was lost in thought in the gray fog.

It seemed that his question really had a feeling of "Who else do you want to stand with besides me?"... Hmm...

But how could he and Alice fight!

This was not a question of whether he could win or not, but trust - he had enough trust in Alice, just as he believed that Alice might help his enemies to cause him some trouble at any time, and he also believed that Alice would not let him really get into trouble.

Well, this does sound a bit strange, as if saying "I trust her to not betray me just as I trust her to betray me", making it difficult to tell whether she would betray or not...

The scene fell into an awkward silence for a while. No one responded to Alice's question just now, and no one came out to save the situation. After a moment of silence, Alice reached out and slapped the table, and decisively shouted:

"get out of class dismissed!"

"No, wait, I shouldn't shout this, I think I should shout...

"Dismissed!"

The Tarot Club members subconsciously looked at the first seat of the bronze long table.

"Let's stop here." Mr. Fool, who was shrouded in a gray fog, nodded gently and agreed to Alice's words.

"Your will is our will." "Justice" Audrey was half a beat late, and took the lead as usual to salute.

"Your will is our will." "Hanged Man" Alger followed one after another, leaving only Alice still sitting in her original position.

As several figures disappeared together, Klein looked at Alice, as if he wanted to say something, but Alice immediately raised her hand to stop him:

"Wait a minute, tell me what I forgot just now - otherwise I might forget it again later.

"The people of Moon City were ordered by the 'Ancient Sun God' to stay near the fog, wait and welcome people who came out of the fog, and tell him or her a word as soon as they met..."

She paused, imitated the accent of the Moon City High Priest Nim, and pronounced a word in a strange tone:

"Chernobyl."

"Chernobyl...?" "Klein paused for a moment, and quickly remembered this famous city.

It was not surprising that the "Ancient Sun God" came from the same Earth civilization as them, but Klein still asked in confusion:

"He asked the people of Moon City to say this, is he just trying to prove his identity, or is he trying to hint at something... If he wanted to prove his identity, why did he choose such a city?"

"...Maybe," Alice touched her chin and made a guess, "Maybe this is his hometown or something like that?" (End of this chapter)
