Mystery: Lucky

"The fool who does not belong to this era,

"The yellow and black king who controls good luck,

"The mysterious master above the gray fog,

"..."

After Bernadette disappeared, Alice relaxed her stiff body, closed her eyes, and prayed to Klein.

The crimson light enveloped her. When she opened her eyes, she had appeared in the space above the gray fog.

In reality, Alice's body was sitting upright on the sofa, standing there stiffly.

In the silent darkness, Bernadette's figure appeared again. After staring at Alice for a while, she draped the blanket on the sofa over her before disappearing into the darkness again.

...

Above the gray fog, Klein had just cracked the spell of the 'blasphemous card' - "Bernadette" in ancient Fessac language. After receiving the news that Alice had arrived home, he pulled her up.

"Look. "Klein pushed the unsealed "Card of Blasphemy" in front of Alice.

Alice picked up the "Card of Blasphemy" that was once disguised as a bookmark, and saw the transformed Emperor Roselle at first sight.

He sat on an ancient stone throne, wearing a black crown inlaid with various gems on his head, wearing black armor, covered with a cloak of the same color, holding a scepter in his hand, and looking forward with indifference.

In the upper left corner, a line of text explained the sequence of this card: "Sequence 0: Black Emperor!"

Alice reached out and turned the "Card of Blasphemy" that looked like a miniature book. A new page emerged. The new image of Emperor Roselle was wearing a white hood, and the note next to it read "Sequence 9: Lawyer".

There are so many professional names in the names of low-sequence potions... Alice sighed silently and looked at the description of the lawyer.

"Good at discovering and exploiting loopholes in the rules and weaknesses of opponents, with excellent eloquence and logical thinking. "

Without taking a closer look at the potion formula that could only be sold for money for the time being, Alice turned to the next page and looked at the Emperor Roselle and "Sequence 8: Barbarian" who appeared in front of her... uh, the image was very different from before, and she fell into deep thought.

Ah?

"Problems that cannot be solved by law must be solved by force..." Alice read out this line of text with mixed emotions.

Alice looked up at Klein's expression. Obviously, Klein also had a very subtle feeling about the name of this sequence. Alice pondered for a long time and commented: "I think it's not as good as the circus director."

Klein's smile disappeared in an instant.

Alice blinked and looked at the Emperor Roselle on the Black Emperor card. After knocking on the table twice, she asked: "You said... what does the Emperor Roselle of the 'Witch' and the 'Witch of Joy' look like? "

So they all developed a strong curiosity about the witch card that they had never seen before.

Alice flipped through the next pages one by one. After browsing different versions of the portrait of Emperor Roselle, Alice nodded thoughtfully and said, "So, starting from Sequence 5, the promotion of Extraordinary people requires a ceremony?"

"That's right." Klein nodded.

Pushing the card to Klein, Alice leaned back in her chair and asked, "Let's sell the formula of 'Barbarian' to the man in the Brave Bar?"

"Okay," Klein agreed happily, "Then let's calculate the money I asked 'Justice' to test..."

"..." Alice said after a moment of silence, "Then let's talk about what I just saw Bernadette..."

"Ah?" Klein's eyes became blank, "Did she catch up with you?"

"No," Alice shook her head, "She went directly to my house to wait for me."

"She's gone? "Klein thought of Bernadette who suddenly appeared in the exhibition hall and couldn't help asking.

"I prayed to you because I saw she was gone..." Alice looked at Klein's expression and her tone gradually became hesitant, "What's wrong?"

Klein pondered and described his experience in the exhibition hall to Alice, and finally asked: "Why don't you go back and take a look first? "

After returning to reality, Alice blinked twice, stretched her body, and the blanket slipped off her body.

Looking at the blanket that was inexplicably covering her body, Alice's body stiffened. After looking around the living room, she took out a coin, silently said "Bernadette covered me with this blanket", and then threw it up.

Looking at the coin with the king's face in her hand, Alice suddenly felt a genuine fear.

Fortunately, it was Bernadette who suddenly appeared, fortunately she had no ill intentions, otherwise...

Alice closed her eyes, silently said "There is someone else in this room", and tossed the coin again.

"Huh..." After seeing the digital side, Alice breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back on the sofa.

Back above the gray fog, Alice sighed and said: "Bernadette was gone when I went back."

"...In other words, she did watch you come up? "Klein frowned.

"Well..." Alice also frowned, "She told me before that she wanted to find the followers of the Fool..."

Klein quickly understood Bernadette's intention, and then he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and smiled: "But I don't have any followers at all."

Alice shrugged and changed the subject: "Okay, then let's continue talking about the previous question... How much money do you plan to pay to Justice as a reward?"

"3,000 pounds." Mr. Fool answered cheerfully.

Alice gave a thumbs up to the generous Mr. Fool, and then asked: "Do you have that much money?"

"She still owes me 5,000 pounds..." Klein answered in a low voice.

"She owes it to Mr. Azik, right?" Alice ruthlessly exposed.

"But I can't give the money to Mr. Azik for the time being," Klein said confidently, "Why not use it to improve yourself first, right?"

"...Okay," Alice replied with a frown, "Theoretically, you took the risk of entering the exhibition hall to steal the 'blasphemous card', so maybe I should pay more..."

"Do you have that much money?" Klein threw the question to Alice.

"No." Alice answered confidently.

"..." Klein looked at Alice speechlessly before continuing, "There's no need... If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know there was a demigod in the exhibition hall, and she wouldn't give up chasing me and go wait for you... In fact, the risk you take is no less than mine."

After saying this, Klein hesitated for a moment and then asked, "You shouldn't have revealed my identity, right?"

"If I had, she wouldn't have hidden and waited for me to contact you..." Alice complained before continuing, "But even if it's 1,500 pounds, it's not something I can take out now..."

"It doesn't matter, I don't mind you owing it first." Klein said with great trust.
