Mystery: Lucky

Judging from the expensive price, this person may not be in a hurry to sell this item... No, not necessarily. He may just be bluffing to prevent someone from deliberately using it to lower the price... But it also shows that he is separated from San. There is still a month to go, otherwise he would probably have to give this item away even if he had to pay for it.

Alice shook her head and leaned back in her chair, but a strange thought suddenly came to her mind: If I buy this item and then use it with Klein for three months, does that count as a bug?

But by this time the next person had begun to tell, and Alice gave up the dangerous idea.

Next, several people proposed deals one after another, some were reached, and some failed. Alice's gain was that she learned that the old gentleman's code name was "Eye of Wisdom."

Finally, the old man "Eye of Wisdom" clapped his hands twice and said: "Let's stop here today. As usual, we will leave one by one, three minutes apart."

Is this to prevent tracking? Alice was suddenly enlightened, and she watched the old gentleman "Eye of Wisdom" arrange for the others to leave one by one, until only the two of them were left here.

"How did you know there was a gathering of extraordinary people here?" the old gentleman in front of him asked without any emotion.

"...Caspars." Alice confessed the source of her real answer.

The old gentleman "Eye of Wisdom" looked at Alice, as if waiting for her to continue.

"I just came to Backlund and need to buy some extraordinary materials, and the black market weapons dealer may have relevant clues..." Alice explained her unreliable reasoning process.

The old gentleman "Eye of Wisdom" looked at Alice for a few seconds and then said slowly: "But you didn't buy anything."

"One is because there is nothing I need, and the other is that I am not sure if I will have the chance to come again next time." Alice looked at the old man with "Eye of Wisdom".

After the old man "Eye of Wisdom" looked at Alice for a while, he took out a piece of paper marked with the sun symbol, put it in front of Alice and said: "You need to prove your sincerity. This is a piece of paper with an extraordinary path to the 'sun' A by-product of an item is equivalent to a one-time contract.”

Alice tilted her head, then took out the 1 penny coin that she had never spent before, silently recited "He told the truth" seven times, and then tossed the coin.

When she saw the coin falling on the king's side, Alice took back the coin and signed the contract according to the request of the "Eye of Wisdom" old man to prove her sincerity. The old man "Eye of Wisdom" watched Alice sign the contract. After the contract, Alice was told the password for the party as promised, and Alice once again witnessed the method of contact through newspapers.

Afterwards, Alice left the room at the prompt of the old man "Eye of Wisdom". He took off his hood and returned it to the waiter, then returned to the "Brave Bar" along the same route, took off the iron mask, walked through the kitchen, and was already busy in the room. In the bar, they found Caspars waiting at the door of the card room.

When passing by the old man, Alice changed her face back to the way it was when she came in, as if she just remembered it, then she winked at him and left briskly.

…

Alice met Klein again. It was Klein who contacted her through the gray mist and told her that she was suspected of being targeted by an Intis ambassador.

"...But, what's the use of telling me?" Alice looked at Klein in confusion, "You know, my combat ability is not much higher than yours, and according to your description, it is at least a mid-level."

"If I want to find a suitable bodyguard..." Klein looked at Alice tentatively.

"You can try your luck at the Brave Bar," Alice thought for a moment and said to him, "That Caspars seems to know a lot of extraordinary people... In addition, if the other party has to kill you, the best way is You kill him first."

——Alice above the gray fog did not realize that she once again made a suggestion that was not in line with her character.

Of course, this suggestion was much more reasonable than the Fat Pharmacist's time. After all, the other party really wanted to kill Klein.

…

At three o'clock on Monday afternoon, the familiar crimson color pulled Alice above the gray fog.

Then came Audrey's greeting that Alice was familiar with: "Good afternoon, Mr. Fool, Mr. Hanged Man, Mr. Sun, and Miss Destiny."

Klein, who was sitting at the head of the long bronze table, chuckled and responded: "Welcome, our Miss Mind Reader."

Audrey smiled reservedly, and then Alger also submitted this week's diary.

Then, Alger said to Klein: "Mr. Fool, I heard a piece of news about the Secret Order."

"Very good." Klein nodded gently, seemingly not wanting to avoid the presence of others.

Alger said unhurriedly: "The Secret Order has a certain relationship with the Republic of Intis."

Alice subconsciously glanced at Klein, who might be assassinated by Ambassador Intis at any time.

Sure enough, Klein chuckled, tapped the edge of the long table, and said, "I want to issue a mission."

Except for Alice, who already knew the content and truth of the mission, Alger and Audrey could not hide their nervousness. Of course, Audrey had more expectations.

"You can choose to accept it, or you can choose not to accept it," Klein said in a relaxed tone. "Another of my favored ones has arrived in Backlund. He hopes to accomplish something, but it is not convenient for him to come forward."

If you don't answer, you might not be able to see Mr. Fool next...

No one spoke, and Klein continued to announce his mission: "What he wants to accomplish is to assassinate the Ambassador of the Republic of Intis to the Kingdom of Loen, Becron Jean Madan."

"Assassinate the Ambassador of the Republic of Intis?" Audrey couldn't control herself and asked in shock.

Klein looked around and said, maintaining the relaxed attitude just now: "Which of you is willing to accept this task? What kind of reward do you want?"

Alice turned to look at the stunned Audrey. Looking at her hesitant expression, Alice suddenly remembered her suggestion to Klein to kill the Intis ambassador.

…That’s not what I would suggest at all!

This time, Alice finally realized the origin of her mentality - it couldn't even be called malicious, it was a kind of superior indifference and contempt for life.

I'm disdainful...but why would I be disdainful? Why should I disdain it? You can crush me to death with just one finger!

Alice searched through her memories in confusion, and in the memories she could find, there was no source of that disdain.

Of course, this is doomed to be in vain. Not to mention that her memory before becoming Alice was almost blank, and she was not even sure that this idea came from herself.
