Mystery: Lucky

"...What's wrong?" Anthony did not answer her question. At a certain moment, he remembered the missing donation box of the Church of Storms.

Alice handed over the box and said slightly hesitantly:

"The Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom sent me a '0' level sealed object... formed by the 'Prophet' extraordinary characteristics of the 'Destiny' pathway sequence 2.

"But, they didn't give me the information about the sealed artifact... maybe they thought I didn't need it, right?

"However, I actually want to take a look. I have some things I want to confirm..."

It was too obvious that she didn't want to say the specific reason. Archbishop Anthony did not ask this question, but shook his head and answered one of her doubts:

"I understand... However, the people from the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom may not have intentionally not told you the information about the sealed artifact."

Alice looked at him quizzically.

"'Prophet'..." Archbishop Anthony glanced at the box and did not try to open it. "This is a '0' level sealed artifact, right."

Alice nodded and said, "Yes, the number is '0-34'."

"'0-34'..." Anthony repeated thoughtfully, "Although I don't know the specific preservation method of the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, at least, within the Nighthawks, all the '1' level seals Both objects and '0' level sealed objects do not have paper information."

"Ah?" Alice opened her eyes wide.

"This is to keep it a secret." Anthony looked at her and said meaningfully.

Alice, who was not good at keeping secrets, felt inexplicably guilty, and then quickly couldn't help but ask:

"But, in this case, every time there is an additional saint in the church, does the senior have to memorize all the information about the '0' level sealed artifacts and the '1' level sealed artifacts starting from '0-01'?"

Alice imagined the scene in her mind of Archbishop Anthony reciting all the information to herself, and shuddered in horror.

"...No," Anthony denied Alice's guess, "Normally, there should be special magical items or rituals to solve similar problems."

"Ah..." Alice felt a little disappointed inexplicably, and she quickly had a new question, "Then, are our church's materials separate? That is, can they be adjusted separately if needed?"

No matter which answer to this question, Alice felt it was inappropriate.

The method of looking up the information one by one is not much different from the dictation by other saints after being promoted to a saint. Both of them are troublesome and give Alice a headache.

As for the other way - to check all the information in one go, the trouble becomes even greater.

The trouble here mainly lies in the confidentiality level and some special sealed objects, such as "0-08".

After experiencing the incident in Tingen City, Alice knew that although the church's confidentiality level was there, special orders could be issued for some emergencies, including but not limited to the temporary transfer of various sealed items and information.

But if an Beyonder whose confidentiality level is not high enough temporarily calls up the information on a "0" level sealed object or a "1" level sealed object, what will happen to the extra information on the sealed item?

Regarding this serious question, Archbishop Anthony smiled and gave the answer:

"After you are promoted to a saint, or when you are in need, you can touch a sacred object of the goddess and obtain 'authority' after the application is approved.

"Next, you can 'read' the information on the sealed items.

“Even if you read the information that you don’t have ‘authority’ or the ‘authority’ level is not high enough, you won’t be able to remember it.”

Alice was stunned for two seconds before she realized that this was a "secret" authority.

At the same time, she also realized that she seemed to have no "authority".

When her hesitant eyes fell on Anthony, Anthony added as if he expected:

"If you have any information about the Sealed Artifact that you want to know, it's best to ask the goddess."

Alice gave up immediately. It was impossible for her to ask the goddess about such a thing. After all, the goddess was not a respected Mr. Fool. It was just for fun. She probably wouldn't really be her mother.

Thinking of this, Alice sighed again and said to Archbishop Anthony:

“Then, can you help me contact the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom?

"Just say, I need the information of '0-34'..."

"Of course." Archbishop Anthony easily agreed to this request.

After solving the first thing, Alice took a breath and continued:

“I have one more thing that I need the church to help me with… maybe it’s mutual help.

"I need a chance to play the Mage of Doom."

"'Mage of Doom'..." Archbishop Anthony repeated the name and frowned.

As a Sequence 3 "Bishop of Fear", of course he would not be unaware of the existence of role-playing, and the church would have provided role-playing opportunities for the Nighthawks and Red Gloves.

But in the final analysis, whether it is the Nighthawks or the Red Gloves, those who need the church to provide them with role-playing opportunities are mostly mid-sequence Extraordinaries, and they are almost all from the "Sleepless" path and the "Corpse Collector" path.

This is inseparable from the potion formula disclosed by the church.

Of course, this is not the point. The point is that the church is familiar with the way to play each sequence of the "Sleeping Man" and "Corpse Collector" paths. Although everyone's playing method is different, it is basically the same. It is easy for the church to provide corresponding tasks.

But the sequence 4 of the "Destiny" path, "Doom Wizard", is a completely unfamiliar potion name. Anthony obviously does not know how to play it.

As for other things, Anthony has no interest in exploring. He is familiar with the meaning of "keeping secrets", and the most important thing is not to explore.

Alice was not surprised by Archbishop Anthony's doubts. She also thought of this. She said carefully:

"If I am not mistaken, the 'Doom Wizard' should be a role like the master of doom, which can bring doom to others..."

Anthony's gentle expression disappeared. He looked at Alice, frowned, and repeated:

"Bring doom to others?"

Alice's voice paused instinctively. She looked at Anthony and found that he was looking at her, as if considering how to speak.

For a moment, Alice remembered the look of the chief of Silver City.

It is undeniable that similar thoughts do come up from him, and they are indeed in line with her image all along, but after seeing the sincere praise, Alice gradually understood why she felt uncomfortable.

Although neither of them put her on an equal footing, both of them praised her highly, but how could the vigilant look be compared with respect and gratitude?

Alice gradually realized that she was disgusted with others' vigilance and caution towards her, as if she would do something outrageous if she was not careful - please, is she that kind of person? She is not, Klein has always believed in her!

She immediately lost interest in continuing to talk, and looked up at Archbishop Anthony without saying anything.

This attitude was like a child throwing a tantrum. Archbishop Anthony paused, and after his eyes swept over Alice, he considered and said in the same gentle voice as before:

"I think there should be other ways to act, right?

"I can see that although you like to play, you don't like to do such things. "

Alice stared at Archbishop Anthony without saying a word, trying to figure out if he was lying, but soon she failed. She lowered her head and rubbed the floor with her toes while saying:

"You are right, there are indeed other ways to act.

"Helping others get rid of bad luck or something, maybe that's OK.

"In short, it's about showing a kind of control over bad luck. "

When Alice said this, she thought of Admithal in the underground market of the "Dragon Bar".

As a natural "monster", he is different from other ordinary people who are born with sequence 10. He is born with sequence 9.5 of the "monster" path.

This is his luck, but also his bad luck.

Before he had some understanding of the role-playing method, Alice gave him a potion formula for the "monster" potion. As she said, it ended his past bad luck, but it did not necessarily symbolize luck.

Just like although the name is "Doom Wizard", after taking the potion of "Doom Wizard", the ability obtained is not to control bad luck, but to control the probability of things. As for whether the things represent luck or bad luck, no one knows.

Thinking of this, Alice muttered thoughtfully:

"Luck and bad luck do not exist in isolation... Even if you control the probability of everything happening, you can't say whether everything is lucky or bad luck. ”

The joyful spirit gave feedback to this sentence, and Alice realized that this was also part of the role-playing method - luck and bad luck do not exist independently, but are interdependent.

And, even if you are the master of bad luck, you can't really control bad luck.

This role-playing method has a bit of hallucination, and Alice thought of "winners" and "lucky people" again.

It was not until she saw the ironic "Happy Birthday" written in pinyin in the "Get Rich Accessories" that Alice realized that those who were chosen by fate were the real "winners".

It was not until Ince Zangwill appeared and took out the beating heart from her chest that Alice truly realized the importance of not relying on luck.

Although she There was no change at that time.

From this perspective, the "disaster priest" that she had not played before would probably have one line - "disaster also means opportunity".

Thinking deeper, perhaps "machines" can also be inaccurate, and "monsters" are sometimes more human than humans...

Of course, those are too far away and have nothing to do with Alice. At this moment, she is standing in the basement of St. Samuel's Church, listening to the response from Archbishop Anthony:

"Is that so..."

Alice immediately came back to her senses and looked at Archbishop Anthony with an expectant look.

Archbishop Anthony shook his head, frowned slightly and said:

"To be honest, I am happy to provide you with the opportunity to play, and this does not even require consent.

"The problem is that I don't know where to put you.

"Even if I put you in the Red Gloves or Nighthawks team, no one will treat you as an ordinary team member, but if you are not treated as an ordinary team member...

"Do you have the ability to lead a team independently and complete the task alone?"

Alice shook her head very self-awarely.

This is where the problem lies. Archbishop Anthony frowned and continued:

"If you can be a little more patient, there might be an option."

Alice looked at Archbishop Anthony curiously, waiting for him to continue.

Anthony took a breath and then continued:

"You can consider becoming a priest in the church, or even a bishop or archbishop..."

At this point, he paused slightly, glanced at Alice, and then added:

"Of course, you don't have to deal with these chores like me. In fact, we all know that you are probably not qualified for this job... but your salary will be less than a normal bishop."

Alice's eyes lit up.

This is the most different thing between the Church of the Night and Alice's impression - the priests here include not only priests, but also... female priests, would it be appropriate to call them goddesses?

Alice is not sure, because the church uniformly calls these priests, unlike the Church of Storms, which has a clear stance on calling them priests.

Similarly, the Church of the Night does not lack female bishops and archbishops, and in the church's internal information, the goddess also has no shortage of female angels and favored ones.

It can be seen that the goddess is indeed actively promoting equality between men and women... Uh, wait, equality between men and women?

Alice blinked twice and realized this thing that she had ignored.

She believes that the idea of ​​equality between men and women must not have been brought about by herself, and she also knows that there is more than one goddess who promotes equality between men and women, but this does not prevent Alice from making some doubts - the main reason is that she has a very simple verification method.

"This is a good idea," Alice said to Archbishop Anthony with a smile, "However, I still need a little time to prepare."

After a short pause, Alice continued:

"I'm actually not familiar with what a role like a bishop has to do - of course, it's best not to be that high and let me get used to it as an ordinary priest.

"However, even so, I feel that I need a little onboarding training to familiarize myself with the work content and work processes...

"Besides, I am not familiar enough with the church's holy scriptures... Is the new holy scripture not yet written? Is there an old one here? Can I take a copy back?"

——The creation theory of God in the holy book of the "Ancient Sun God" has exposed everything. As for the goddess, if it is true, Alice does not believe that there will be no trace in the holy book.

The part of the Creator cannot be counted. In Alice's impression, there are many poems in the Holy Scriptures of the Church of the Night. Unfortunately, she did not listen carefully during class...

Alice sighed inwardly, and silently prayed that Archbishop Anthony's answer was yes, otherwise she would still have to spend money to buy it. (End of chapter)
