Mystery: Lucky

Not long after returning to the real world, Alice obtained what happened when Mr. Fool summoned the messenger.

Klein tried several descriptions. For example, in the first one, he probably wanted to deliver the message faster and summoned an "unimaginable speedster."

According to Klein, he didn't even see what the first messenger looked like.

Not only beyond imagination, but also beyond sight.

The second summoning word was "a weak being that is easily ignored." Klein told Alice that this summoning word was useless because he summoned nothing.

Alice put her hand on her chin thoughtfully, and after pondering for a moment, she asked aloud: "Adam, can you be my messenger?"

No one answered her.

Alice shook her head regretfully and gave up this bold idea, but another bold idea came to her mind.

In fact, the hidden sense of existence is also...

Alice swallowed and pushed back on this bold idea.

Too bold.

The third summoning word was "Extraordinary with extremely strong survivability." The result of the summoning was a safe made of bones. The disadvantage was that the speed was too slow. It only moved one centimeter in ten minutes...

Alice shook her head and started to look at Klein's fourth attempt.

"The unique being who is willing to be my messenger..." Alice murmured and repeated the summoning word that was finally adopted by Klein.

The advantages and disadvantages of this summoning word are obviously very obvious. The advantage is that the range of choices is larger and wider. The disadvantage is that it depends on luck. For example, Klein summoned an angel.

If Reinette Tinichole had malicious intentions at the time, Klein obviously couldn't do anything. Reinette would have been able to kill him with just one confrontation.

Alice glanced at the contract she had already dug out, thought about it, and decided to use this summoning word.

After all, this summons really depends on luck, and Alice actually wants to see what kind of messenger her luck will bring her.

After preparing herbs and essential oils, lighting candles, Alice took a step back and recited the incantation provided by Klein in ancient Hermes:

"I!

"I call in my name:

"A spirit that wanders in the void, a friendly creature that can be driven, a unique being that is willing to be my messenger."

call!

Within the wall of spirituality, an unexplained fierce wind sounded, and Alice's hood naturally slipped off in the wind, revealing her blond hair that was originally covered.

The candle flickered and expanded to the size of a human head. The pale color gave off a cold feeling, making Alice unsure whether it was high temperature or low temperature.

A translucent head slowly came out as if breaking through a membrane. The hair was light golden and smooth, the eyes were as scarlet as blood, and the appearance was bright and majestic.

Alice recognized this face. It was Reinette Tinichole, Klein's messenger.

...?

Alice stood there in surprise, watching Him come through the flames and into the real world. She blinked blankly and suddenly remembered what Klein mentioned about Him providing a gold coin every time he sent a message.

...Is He short of money?

Alice blinked her eyes and instantly imagined an image of an angel who had to work as a messenger for money. Her eyes looking at Renette Tinichole could not help but be filled with sympathy and pity.

After all, she is also short of money.

Alice remembered Renette Tinichole's previous offer to be her messenger. She recalled that she had doubted Renette's intentions at that time, and immediately apologized to him sincerely:

"I'm sorry, I didn't know you were so short of money before. I didn't mean to doubt you."

After a pause, she recalled how she had asked Reinette Tinichole why there was no head on her neck, and she had made her angry.

... Could it be that He was saving money to treat his neck?

Then I really went too far... How could I poke someone's wound like this!

Alice felt even more guilty. She had already apologized anyway, so she simply added the second sentence:

"I'm really sorry. I mocked you for not having a head on your neck...I really went too far!

"Although, although I didn't mean any harm at the time, I'm still very sorry..."

Reinette Tinichole stood there, with the same blank expression on the four heads she held in her hand.

Alice regarded his silence as still angry. She gritted her teeth and expressed her apology sincerely again:

"I'm really sorry!

"I, I shouldn't be so sarcastic about you, I didn't know you worked so hard to treat the wound on your neck... Oh, by the way, have you found a suitable doctor?

"No, you must have found it. If you hadn't found it, you wouldn't have been busy saving money... Well, does that doctor charge a very high price? Is there any room for bargaining?"

"..." Reinette Tinichole still didn't seem to understand her words very well.

But if the silence continued, it seemed that the topic would turn in unknown directions. Finally, the four heads in Reinette's hands spoke one after another:

"You..." "Only..." "In..." "Say..." "What?"

Alas, he was unwilling to admit it because of his pride... Alice decided to forgive Reinette grandly, and she sincerely persuaded:

"You don't have to worry that I will look down on you because of this. I don't have much money, so it doesn't matter!"

After thinking for several seconds, Reinette tried to continue this sentence:

"I..." "Okay..." "No..." "Money."

"How can that be done!" Alice said quickly, "You are already so poor that you are working as a messenger, how could I do this to you!"

She paused and then added:

"Even if I ask the recipient to pay like Klein, I won't miss out on your errand fees!"

This time, Miss Messenger seemed to have finally grasped the key point in Alice's words. He asked doubtfully:

"You..." "Why..." "Will..." "Think..." "I..." "Lack of money?"

"It's okay, I know everything," Alice looked at Reinette with eyes full of understanding and tolerance, "You don't have to hide it in front of me, it's not a shame to work and make money to treat your injuries—— However, you only charge one gold coin each time for an angel to deliver a message. Isn’t it a bit too little?”

Reinette Tinichole finally figured out what Alice was thinking. Although he didn't understand how the idea came about, it was obvious that his top priority was to explain it clearly.

His eight red eyes stared at Alice unblinkingly, making Alice's scalp tingle and she couldn't help but ask aloud:

"What, what's wrong?

"Why do you keep looking at me?"

Renette Tinichole did not answer the question. He stared at Alice steadily for a few seconds. Then, he dove into the flames when he came, leaving Alice alone. .

…

No. 160 Burklund Street, in the study room with excellent lighting.

There are rows of bookshelves here with numerous collections. At first glance, it feels like you have entered a private library.

Klein was sitting in a high-backed chair, reading the letter Sharon sent him.

This is actually a letter sent to him in the morning. Unfortunately, he has been busy with many classes recently. It is only now that his "siesta" is over and his teachers are enjoying their afternoon tea that he has time to check this letter. letter.

"Alas..." Thinking of the philosophy class he was going to take later, Klein couldn't help but sigh heavily.

He fiddled with the letter and was about to turn his attention back when the atmosphere in the room suddenly became cold. She raised her head as if feeling something. Reinette Tinichole appeared in the study holding four heads with blond hair and red eyes. Inside.

He looked at Renette Tinichole blankly. He thought someone had a letter to send to him, but when he looked carefully, he found that none of the four heads had an envelope or anything else in its mouth. something.

In Klein's confused eyes, the four heads spoke in turn:

"You..." "It's..." "How..." "With..." "You..." "Daughter..." "Introduction..." "Me..." "Of?"

My daughter? who?

Klein was stunned for a moment. He stood there and thought for a moment, then asked tentatively:

"Alice?"

Reinette Tinichole replied:

"Yes..." "It's..." "She..." "You..." "It's..." "How..." "And..." "She..." "Introduction..." "I..." "of?"

Klein was extremely confused. He realized that Alice might have caused some trouble behind his back, so he first distanced himself from the relationship and said:

"She is not my daughter!"

After a pause, he recalled and answered Reinette's question:

"You are my messenger, and you need to provide a gold coin every time you send a message... Is there any problem?"

Reinette Tinichole calmly began to describe what she had just experienced:

"She..." "Thought..." "I..." "When..." "Messenger..." "It's..." "To..." "Earn..." "Medical expenses."

"Ah?" Klein sat upright with a blank look in his eyes, "Wait, what's going on?"

From Klein's reaction, Reinette Tinichole realized that it was not his problem that he couldn't understand what Alice was saying. He became much calmer and went on to explain:

"She..." "Thought..." "I..." "In..." "To..." "Many..." "People..." "When..." "Messenger..." "Through..." "This..." "Method..." "Earn..." "Medical expenses..." "Treatment..." "I..." "Neck..." "On..." "Of..." "Incision. "

The four heads relayed through this long list of contents. Klein listened in confusion and finally figured out what happened.

In fact, it seems to make some sense... Klein glanced at Reinette Tinichole, but he didn't dare to say these words. Instead, he asked with a shocked expression:

"Why would she think so?"

Reinette Tinichole responded:

"I..." "No..." "I know..." "You..." "Really..." "Should..." "Take time..." "Good..." "Teach me..." "You... …""daughter."

Klein paused and emphasized again:

"She is not my daughter!"

Reinette Tinichole seemed not to have heard the last sentence, or in other words, it seemed that He had come to complain. After telling what he had experienced, He disappeared into the air again.

Klein was once again the only one left in the study. He pinched his eyebrows with a headache. After thinking for a moment, he continued to read Sharon's letter.

…

After seeing Reinette Tinichole take the initiative to get back into the flames, Alice realized that the summons had been interrupted. This was understandable, after all, her summons ran back to the spirit world on its own.

"So it can still be like this..." Alice blinked in surprise, glanced at the burning candle, and became confused again, "Did what I just said hurt his self-esteem in some way... Well, no matter what, I'm free. Let Klein apologize for me!"

Alice nodded, happily made her decision, and prepared to start the second summons.

She exhaled, thought for a moment, closed her eyes and started doing what people used to do before drawing cards when playing card games.

I am willing to use Amon’s failure to gain access to the Source Castle and his inability to become a god in exchange for getting a suitable messenger for my next summons...

Alice completed the prayer with piety, then opened her eyes and recited the incantation for the second time in ancient Hermetic:

"I!

"I call in my name:

"A spirit that wanders in the void, a friendly creature that can be driven, a unique being that is willing to be my messenger."

rustle!

Different from the violent wind just now, there was a warm breeze inside the spiritual wall. The temperature seemed to have cooled down a bit, but it was not uncomfortable.

Alice blinked her eyes blankly, and the flame on the candle glowed with colorful light in her gaze.

The flame expanded and opened a pair of wings. In the center of the flame, the shape of the bird's head and beak gradually became clear.

Alice realized that it was a bird. She stared at the flames curiously, watching a colorful bird break free from the flames and appear in front of her.

That's a crow.

One, a colorful crow.

Color should be composed of those feathers. Alice saw that the bird's feathers were colorful gradients, as if a rainbow was draped on its body, beautiful and dreamy.

If you don't consider that it looks like a crow.

The colorful crow circled in the air, and finally stopped in front of her. It opened its mouth, and Alice heard a sweet voice that was completely different from other crows.

The sound seemed to bring a pleasant atmosphere just like the warm breeze and cool breath around it. Alice wanted to laugh as soon as she heard it, just ignore the content of the words.

Yes, ignore the content of the words.

This crow, which seemed to be covered with a rainbow, landed in front of her, and with its melodious voice, it sang a Chinese sentence with a perfect accent that left her confused:

"You're going to die!"

Judging from the tone of voice, this crow sounds very happy - of course, we cannot ignore the possibility that it only has this one tone. (End of chapter)
