Mystery: Lucky

Watching Alice disappear in front of him, Leonard didn't care that he was still outside. He opened his mouth and asked the air around him:

"Old man, do you understand what she means?"

The old, frail voice just now replied slowly:

"have no idea.

"However, you'd better stay away from this 'new saint' in your church."

Regrettably, Leonard failed to hear the abnormality in Leslie's tone, and he asked doubtfully:

"Why?"

Pales didn't speak for a while, he was thinking about his words, because Leonard didn't seem to realize the deep meaning of his words - although this is normal.

So when Leonard was impatient and wanted to ask a second time, Pales spoke in a slightly fearful tone:

"That Your Highness... no, that His Majesty.

"It seems that this is not the first time He has said the words 'The night and the fool are my favored ones'."

There is too much information covered in a few sentences, not to mention that Extraordinary World defaults to the fact that "Your Highness" is a respectful title for angels, nor does it mention where "Your Majesty" comes from. After all, the word "His" can already explain something. The problem is, what Leonard cares about is Pales's attitude.

There were not many beings that made the old man who lived in him show a fearful attitude. Before this, Leonard had always thought that only the true God would make Pales respect him.

So Leonard became nervous after realizing it. He subconsciously stepped away from the door, and then cautiously shouted a second time:

"...Old man?"

Pales then slowly opened his mouth to explain what he had just said:

"...Considering that no divine punishment has been issued so far, that at least explains one thing.

"Leave aside the fact that you and I don't know the details, at least for your goddess, there are only three possibilities for this matter."

"What three?" Leonard asked hurriedly.

Pales replied:

"The first possibility is that this thing is true, or at least it was true.

"The second possibility is that there is a third great being who cares about him. That great being cares about him very much and is very powerful at the same time. It is so powerful that even the Fool and your goddess combined cannot defeat him.

“The third possibility is that neither the Fool nor your goddess combined can defeat Him.

"However, if it is a bit unrealistic, there may be a fourth possibility. For example, He has a very good relationship with the Fool and your goddess, or he is simply the incarnation of one of them..."

Leonard was silent.

Each of these possibilities was more outrageous than the last, and he didn't know which one to believe at all, but he finally understood why Pales called Alice Your Majesty, and finally understood why Pales had that attitude.

——He is either the true God walking in the world, or the favored one of some great being who is unwilling to lose.

He...

Leonard took one last look at the closed door, clenched his fists as hard as he could, then slowly released them, and said in a voice with no emotion:

"I want to go back to Tingen City."

…

It was already evening when Klein talked to Alice about this matter.

As soon as Alice walked down the stairs and jumped off the last step, Klein waved his hand to signal her to come over.

Without anyone else, what appeared above the gray mist was no longer a long bronze table—otherwise, even if you were sitting on the seat closest to Klein, it would be too far away.

For Alice, she actually had another option to sit on the table, but Mr. Fool didn't want to do that. He was afraid that Miss Destiny would jump down and hit him without the table when she got angry.

Therefore, when there are only two of them above the gray fog, they often sit on a single sofa facing each other, with a table in the middle that is higher than the coffee table - the height of the coffee table is not convenient for taking pictures.

Today is no exception.

But Mr. Fool was very anxious today. He hurriedly asked before Alice sat down:

"What's going on? What do you mean your identity is exposed?"

He actually heard Alice's prayers during dinner, but that scene was not suitable for checking the message above the gray fog - usually, when Alice informed him in this way, it was either something wrong or not. Too urgent, or...

From Alice's point of view, maybe this is a surprise?

For example, the revelation of his identity might be a surprise to Alice—the kind of surprise that frightens others and brings happiness to her.

Alice remembered what happened from Klein's words, and she said slowly while moving up and down her seat:

"Don't worry, it's not a big deal. I think the other thing I encountered was bigger than this...

"I just drew a 'star' card for Leonard!"

Oh, this is it...

This was something that he had been mentally prepared for a long time ago. After hearing this, Klein felt relieved and just confirmed again:

"Are you sure this is just what the identity exposure means? You didn't say anything else?"

"Of course not!" Faced with Mr. Fool's untrustworthy eyes, Alice reached out and slapped the table without hesitation, "Am I that kind of person?"

Klein's eyes became even more suspicious.

Alice's eyes widened, and her genuine anger made Klein feel relieved and asked another thing:

"What else did you encounter?"

Only then did Alice remember another thing she had forgotten. She had no intention of hiding it from Klein, and immediately said mysteriously:

"I met a new 'traveler'."

Klein turned his head sharply and stared at Alice.

Seeing that his words brought the same shocking result as expected, Alice was happy. She smiled with her lips curved:

"And, let me tell you, you actually know this person.

"And he is not the kind of person who has died and is in history books - our new compatriot is still alive and even very active."

Alice's description gradually made Klein confused. He pondered for a long time and reported the most likely answer among all the impossible answers:

"...Leonard?"

"No," Alice denied this without mercy, "but Leonard also knows. "

Klein's eyes turned into complete confusion.

When Alice said that they both knew this person, he had a lot of choices. After all, they had known each other for so long.

But when Alice said that Leonard also knew this person, Klein was very confused - after all, before his "death", he and Leonard had always been ordinary colleagues.

In fact, their personal relationship can be described as zero.

This also led to the fact that their social circles did not have much overlap, and they were basically stable within a range. Klein thought for a long time but couldn't figure out who it was, so he looked up at Alice and asked with a frown:

"So who is it?"

The suspense was almost over, and Alice smiled and revealed the answer:

"It's... the goddess~"

"...? "Klein looked at Alice with a look of shock and horror.

It is undeniable that there was not a single lie in Alice's words. The goddess did meet this condition perfectly - he, Alice and Leonard all knew the goddess.

But the goddess was a character that would never appear in the options.

It took him some time to accept this answer. He took a breath and asked Alice:

"Then did the goddess notice you because...?"

Alice knew what Klein wanted to ask, she shook her head and denied the question:

"It's not because we are all "travelers"...or rather, it's not just because we are all "travelers."

Klein was slightly stunned, and Alice raised her eyes to remind him:

"From the Second Age to now, the goddess has lived for at least thousands of years, and He has only been a human for a few short decades, not even a fraction of his life.

"How much do you think those decades of memory can splash in His long life?

"Besides...you can't use the mentality of mortals to speculate on gods. "

Klein calmed down because of Alice's words. He tried to take off the filter of his hometown that he had left on the goddess and still looked at the goddess with the mentality of the past.

The little "Sun" would copy a lot of Silver City's history at every Tarot meeting. Through that history, Klein realized that the goddess was probably the Doom Wolf in history, born in the Second Age.

To this day, the goddess has lived for an unknown number of years.

The fact that they were born from the same civilization can bring them some basic goodwill from the goddess, but it may not really affect the goddess' decision.

Realizing this, Klein gradually relaxed and asked Alice:

"How did you find out about this?"

Alice was easily distracted by the new question. She shook her head and explained:

"The goddess told me! "

Klein glanced at Alice, without showing any expression she expected - his expression remained unchanged.

He had long understood Alice's style of doing things, and knew that she was just trying to bluff people when she said half of the things and hid the other half of the things, and cooperating with her would only make her push her further.

Sure enough, Alice soon felt bored because he didn't respond, curled her lips, and began to tell the whole story.

The information she said was much more complete than her blurting out one sentence at a time, and Klein was able to hear the whole picture of the matter.

Of course, this didn't help at all, and he soon discovered that it was full of Alice's various far-fetched guesses and inferences - she seemed to have just had this idea, and then she couldn't forget it, and asked casually at a certain moment, and then happened to get an answer.

This process cannot be replicated.

Not too unexpectedly, Klein glanced at Alice with mixed feelings, and found that Alice didn't take this matter to heart at all, and she immediately asked with great interest:

"Can I see Leonard at the next Tarot Club?"

Klein answered this question tactfully: "This requires him to recite the Honorable Name of the Fool first. "

I think there are not many people in this world who would recite the honorific name of a strange great being - Alice is not a human being.

Even Alice would not rashly recite a honorific name she has never heard of. She would at least look up the information before reciting it.

This reason convinced Alice. She pouted and sat down, muttering:

"If I had known, I would have forced him to recite your honorific name... and recite my honorific name as well... and so on."

Alice's voice suddenly paused. She seemed to remember something, and raised her head little by little. She looked at Klein with a slightly hesitant look and asked:

"My honorific name...?"

Alice finally remembered what she had forgotten after coming out of the "Forsaken Land of God" - Will Auceptin was about to be born.

What can a Honorable Name do? Of course, nothing can be done. Whether it is based on Alice's knowledge of mysticism or Klein's knowledge of mysticism, the Honorable Name can only do one thing - that is to help Will Auceptin find Alice.

This is not a big deal, but Alice now has something - "0-34".

In the prophecy of "0-34" about death, everything remained as Alice saw in the revelation. She reached the top of the "Destiny" path and was finally swallowed.

But in the case that the three "Mercury Snake" extraordinary characteristics of the "Destiny" path all have their own owners, the top that Alice can reach is actually only "Prophet".

And "0-34" comes from a "Prophet" extraordinary characteristic.

So, based on Alice's experience, the final development of this matter may be like this:

First, at a certain moment when she is caught off guard, she will swallow the "Prophet" extraordinary characteristic by accident.

Will Auceptin will probably get a revelation about this moment, and He will prepare in advance. Alice believes that He must have a way to temporarily restore the strength of Sequence 1. He can take action when I am promoted, which is my weakest state.

The honorific name from Will Auceptin just provides a means of positioning... So, does she need to hide her new honorific name?

This thought flashed through Alice's mind, and she threw it aside, deciding to leave the question to Klein and the great Mr. Fool later.

In short, Alice realized that if she followed the above ideas, she would face a decisive battle with Will Auceptin one day when she was caught off guard, which was obviously not what she wanted.

But, in that case, the winner would most likely not be Will Auceptin...

Alice exhaled slowly, knowing this matter very well.

As "Sun" Derrick asked at the time, she didn't see the scene when she returned at all, because was it her who returned... No, maybe it was really her.

That might be an existence that was both her and not her.

Alice shuddered with a chill on her face, and then said to Klein seriously:

"Klein, I have two tasks for you."

She was rarely so serious and serious, and after seeing that she was not pretending, Klein also sat up straight.

So Alice exhaled again and said carefully:

"The first thing... help me keep an eye on Will Auceptin's condition, and tell me immediately when He is born... uh, wait a minute."

Alice seemed to suddenly remember something, and looked at Klein hesitantly, and asked hesitantly:

"Will He do something to you?" (End of this chapter)
