Mystery: Lucky

"...You're looking for me for this kind of thing?" Above the gray fog, Klein showed an expression of disbelief.

Alice's eyes wandered.

Of course, there was a reason to look for Klein. If this kind of housekeeping service existed in this era and Klein knew how to find it, it would be great.

If Klein didn't know or didn't exist in this era...

He should be arriving in Backlund soon, right?

Thinking of this, Alice secretly glanced at Klein and shouted affectionately:

"Klein~, you, you should be arriving in Backlund soon, right?"

Klein shook his body instinctively and told her quickly:

"I know how to hire a housekeeper!"

Alice blinked at him and concluded from his panicked attitude:

"Are you really arriving in Backlund soon?"

"...Should be there tomorrow." Klein replied.

Alice tilted her head and asked curiously, "Do you want me to pick you up at the station?"

She paused and added, "The good news is that I am now a saint of the Church of Evernight..."

"?" Klein looked at her blankly, "...are you serious?"

For a moment, thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind, and he seriously considered the possibility that Alice really went to the Church of Evernight to help him get information.

Alice looked at Klein for a few seconds, and after noticing the gratitude in his eyes, she asked him seriously:

"Do you know what I sacrificed for you!"

"...Freedom?" Klein looked at her hesitantly and asked.

Alice nodded with a heavy face and asked him, "Do you know what the saints of the church need to do every day?"

Klein shook his head honestly.

Alice then began to repeat Anthony's words with a serious face:

"It's nothing, just need to come to the church on time to handle some church affairs, such as reviewing various applications from the branch churches in the area under my charge, things like the transfer of seals, personnel transfers and promotion arrangements, as well as statistics of extraordinary events and extraordinary people in the area, communication with other churches, etc..."

Klein's eyes gradually became blank. After Alice's voice fell, he looked at Alice and asked in a trance:

"Who told you this?"

"Archbishop Anthony." Alice answered truthfully.

"......?" Klein frowned slightly.

Of course there is no problem with this answer. He had heard of Archbishop Anthony's name when he was a night watchman. As a saint of the church, Archbishop Anthony knew the work of the saints, which was really appropriate. The problem is...

Can Alice's situation be the same? !

"Did he tell you that you will do these jobs in the future?" Klein asked her with a frown.

"Uh," Alice's eyes wandered, "These are the jobs of the saints of the church."

The jobs of the saints of the church... that is, not her job?

Klein seemed to understand something. He glanced at Alice and asked, judging by himself:

"Is the church not confident in entrusting anything to you?"

"?" Alice turned her head and glared at him.

Under her threatening gaze, Klein changed the subject guiltily: "Well, I'll tell you where to find door-to-door housekeeping services..."

Klein did know where to find door-to-door housekeeping services, or in other words, temporary maids for odd jobs.

When he was in Tingen City, he, Benson, and Melissa hired a maid to cook at home. Although Melissa was in charge of almost everything from selecting people to hiring them, he at least knew where to hire a maid for odd jobs.

Melissa...

Thinking of Melissa, Klein couldn't help but glance at Alice again.

Not talking about actual age, nor Alice's difficult-to-define psychological age, at least from the outside, Alice and Melissa should be about the same age.

...So why is there such a big gap!

Klein glanced at Alice, who always asked him for help with everything, and thought about Melissa, who could arrange everything by herself, and fully realized the disparity in the world.

He cursed in his heart while telling Alice everything he knew. After confirming that he didn't know more, Alice thought about it and dropped a bombshell:

"I...you know I went back to Tingen City, right?"

Klein nodded.

Alice took a breath and continued:

"When I went back... I saw the captain."

Klein was slightly stunned. He remembered what Alice had said before that she was going to be depressed, and asked tentatively:

"The captain recognized you?"

He paused, remembering the vigilance he felt after reporting the changes in Chanis Gate, and persuaded: "It is normal for the captain to be vigilant about you. After all, things like resurrection from the dead..."

"No," Alice interrupted him, "I proved my identity to the captain - the captain believed that I was the goddess's favored one."

... Then what's the problem?

Klein looked at Alice with a little doubt.

Alice shook her head and whispered:

"Although I didn't intend to tell you this, but... the captain called me 'Your Excellency' at that time."

Klein was stunned.

As Alice said, the captain believed her words, and the bad thing happened to be here.

Klein could almost imagine Alice's mood.

This is not difficult to imagine, because he had experienced something similar earlier, when he pretended to be a clown and gave Melissa and Benson the bouquet of sevia daisies.

It's not entirely consistent, because he didn't reveal his identity at the time, but thinking about it, if he did, if he gained the trust of Benson and Melissa, the results would not be much better.

——Be it resurrected from the dead or be a demigod, it means something different after all.

He reached out and wanted to pat Alice on the shoulder to comfort her, but Alice didn't seem to need it. She raised her head and said seriously:

"But then I discovered something."

"What?" Klein asked doubtfully.

Alice shook her head and asked solemnly: "Do you remember Ms. Dai Li, right?"

"...What's wrong with Ms. Dai Li?" Klein subconsciously became uneasy.

He twisted his body and heard Alice's heavy voice:

"She and the captain are getting married!"

Oh, then...ah?

Klein was in a daze for a moment, then stared at Alice and asked in disbelief:

"Who is getting married to whom?"

"Captain and Ms. Daly," Alice repeated.

"What happened to Captain and Ms. Daly?" Klein confirmed for the second time.

"They are getting married," Alice answered for the second time.

"No," Klein swallowed and finally accepted the matter, "When did this happen? Why didn't I notice it at all?"

Alice shrugged, shook her head and said:

"have no idea.

"Maybe it's because you're not married."

Klein was choked.

This was an irrefutable answer. He glared at Alice, stopped dwelling on the question, and asked instead:

"When is the wedding?"

"I don't know," Alice shook her head, "I saw it from the prophecy... But anyway, they should be talking about it."

Klein lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

This is a good thing. To be honest, Klein is happy for the captain, but that doesn't stop him from being shocked by it - just like he said, he didn't notice it before.

However, it is different to look at the problem with the answer. Looking back at the past, Klein felt a sense of enlightenment. He murmured:

"No wonder..."

Some unnoticed details in the past become clear in my mind, and the memory becomes the evidence of the facts, making the facts no longer sudden, but already expected.

Their chat ended here. Alice returned to the real world, went to find someone to clean the room, and then thought of a very serious question.

...how does she make money?

This is indeed a very serious question - because judging from Archbishop Anthony's attitude, it seems that the Church of the Night does not intend to pay her a salary.

As for the comics... The scene of Amon coming to the door with comics in "The Land Abandoned by God" is still vivid in my mind. Even if Alice had the courage to do so, she would not dare to continue drawing the story of Amon and Leonard-- The painting also needs a new version.

She didn't even dare to collect the remaining royalties - no, she didn't even dare to go to that magazine.

Her main fear was that Amon was inside.

Putting this aside, Alice discovered that she had no idea what she could do—could she really make money by selling fortune charms to me? Or go to the street to pick up money, go to the gambling house to bet two hands...

I always feel so pitiful for an angel to behave like this...

Alice felt dazed for a moment and touched the dry puppet.

This thing came from the "Rose School" demigod she killed. She didn't take a closer look - the "Destiny" path is not the kind of path that relies on extraordinary items to fight, let alone only Sequence 4 level items. She is also self-aware of her own level. , it is difficult for this thing to work in her hands.

She was prepared to sell her extraordinary characteristics.

However, once this is sold out, will she not have to worry about money for a while...

Alice lowered her head and began to think.

No, I actually don’t have to worry too much about money. Angel has no need to eat. I just like to eat and play, but it’s okay if I don’t eat. As for the place to live... It’s really not possible. If it’s really not possible, I can still sleep on the street, or Sleeping Bridge Cave...

...Doesn't it really seem too pitiful for angels to be mixed up like this?

Alice put her hands over her face.

Klein refused her offer to pick him up, so Alice spent the day doing nothing on Saturday. On Sunday, she received a message from Klein.

"...'Wheel of Fortune' card?" Alice narrowed her eyes and said to herself, "I almost forgot about this...Did she also mention a 'Prophet' sealed item? "

This was the bargaining chip that Bernadette tried to use to trade with her earlier, but after she made things difficult for her several times, it turned into a gift to please her.

Now, this card is handed over to the respected Mr. Fool.

Alice did not store this card above the gray mist, but took it down through a ritual after receiving the news - she was quite curious about the "Wheel of Fortune" card.

Alice had seen the "Wheel of Fortune" card in her dream, but she didn't have time to take a closer look at it. It wasn't until now that she had the chance to take a closer look at the card.

When she saw the dream, she only focused on the wheel that should theoretically be the Wheel of Fortune and the three Russells next to it, and did not take a closer look at the other parts.

When Alice carefully looked at the cards in her hand, she realized that the surging river in the background of the cards should be the River of Destiny.

The green roulette rose from the waves, and the silver snake circled up, like a chain that imprisoned the roulette, and seemed to be attached to it.

Among the three Russells, one was sitting on the throne, one was in tatters, and the other seemed to be enjoying life.

Of course, there is another crucial reason why Alice wants this "Wheel of Fortune" card.

She flipped through the introductions on each previous page one by one, starting from the "Monster" in Sequence 9 and ending with the Chaos Walker in Sequence 3. She just browsed briefly.

She focused on the "Prophet" page of Sequence 2.

——She wanted to know what "prophet" looked like in Russell's eyes, or what other "prophet" looked like in the eyes of other high-sequencers.

As early as when she saw the core ability of "Prophet", that "prophecy", she had doubted one thing - when the ability of "prophecy" became well known, shouldn't this ability be useless?

Even if it is limited to high-sequence, or even limited to angels, the effect should be greatly reduced - after all, it can fool an angel or a true god into believing, but how many ordinary people can't match it.

She had always suspected that others were unaware of the Prophet's true abilities.

The "blasphemous cards" left by Emperor Russell back then are undoubtedly an excellent proof. After all, this deck of cards is of extremely high status and has anti-divination capabilities that even the gods cannot resist...even the gods cannot. confrontation?

Alice was stunned for a moment and almost jumped up from where she was.

——Why did Russell add anti-divination to the "Card of Blasphemy" that not even gods can resist?

Alice frowned and looked at the "Wheel of Fortune" card in her hand, and her movements became hesitant.

"However, the problem shouldn't be with the 'Wheel of Fortune' card..." Alice clicked the card in her hand, "Maybe it's a certain card that hasn't been discovered, or it's a specific combination, or it's more than a certain amount. The number of sheets?”

She paused, then shook her head and said:

"But in short... there must be something wrong with the 'Card of Blasphemy', and there is a big problem - maybe the card is not necessarily made by the Emperor himself.

"It's like my previous prediction..."

Alice pursed her lips and remembered the "prophecy" that the goddess told her, which she herself had said but had no memory of.

She lowered her head with unclear eyes, skipping the potion formula and ritual, and went to the corresponding introduction part:

"Sequence 2: Prophet.

"Existences that have truly jumped out of the long river of fate, can peek into the truth of fate, and witness the desperate and crazy nature of fate..." (End of this chapter)
