Mystery: Lucky

Alice didn't listen any more. She looked away and waited for Klein to complete the ritual and hand over to Sharon and Maric.

After watching Sharon and Maric leave, Klein's eyes turned to Alice.

Although he had agreed to Sharon and Maric with the intention of taking the opportunity to digest the potion, Klein did not expect that Alice's presence would have such a big impact.

To the point that Klein even regretted not calling Alice for the previous "performance".

——It would be great if he could both make Alice happy and help him digest the potion!

Of course, it was not too late to put it on the agenda now. Klein was planning to scare Alice after he was promoted to "Weird Mage", while he was talking to Alice about this:

"My potion has been digested."

Alice was stunned for a moment, looked at him in surprise and asked:

"Then aren't you going to prepare for the promotion to Sequence 4?"

The existence of demigods and half-humans is a threshold for all extraordinary people. Alice initially thought that Klein would be stuck in the potion digestion for at least a few months, and in the ritual preparation and material collection for a while. Although there was overlap, it still took a few months.

Now, Alice felt a rare sense of urgency in her heart. She sat up straight and felt a little nervous.

Klein saw her like this, and he knew what she was thinking after a little thought. He didn't persuade Alice. In his opinion, it was a good thing for Alice to have a little sense of urgency.

After all, he always felt that Alice was too casual.

After nodding, Klein looked at Alice and smiled:

"Yes, in addition to collecting materials, I'm afraid I have to start thinking about the ceremony.

"I was just thinking... you said, if there is a particularly high-ranking "audience" watching my performance, can we balance quantity with quality?"

Alice was slightly stunned, thinking of the fact that Amon's clone in the manor was promoted from Sequence 3 to Sequence 2 after recovering the characteristics, and said thoughtfully:

"Well... it should be okay... wait, you mean me?"

Alice suddenly realized that the audience Klein was talking about was actually herself. She raised her head in surprise, and after seeing Klein nod, she pondered:

"... No, I think the best audience is someone else."

"... Who?" Klein's eyebrows jumped, and he felt as if he had the answer.

Alice answered without hesitation: "Adam."

Sure enough... Klein exhaled, pinched his eyebrows and said:

"I can't guarantee that Adam is watching... I guess you don't either. "

Alice frowned.

The promotion ceremony of the "Weird Mage" is a performance, and the performance is timed. Although calling Adam before the performance can attract Adam to come and take a look, Adam may leave his sight at any time. Maybe after that look, he will not continue to watch, unless...

Alice asked Klein with a serious face: "Have you ever considered shouting Adam's name during the performance?"

This suggestion made Klein dumbfounded. He looked at Alice and answered seriously:

"I think this may bring divine punishment to me."

Alice regretfully gave up this idea and said:

"In fact, I can't just be an audience in your ceremony. I have another role.

"Don't forget, I am also a demigod."

"?" Klein looked at her with a look of a lunatic, "Are you serious?"

Alice shook his head.

Klein's mouth twitched, and he responded coldly: "...What did you say?"

Alice spread her hands and defended herself:

"Even if I'm serious, it's useless, right? I don't think the ritual will recognize the kind of death that can be resurrected immediately, and the real death...

"You want to kill me for a demigod's ritual?"

...At least it has to be a ritual of a true god?

Klein subconsciously added a sentence in his mind, and then, considering that he now needs Alice, he quickly suppressed the sentence to avoid saying it out loud.

He calmly changed the subject: "If I need the kind of death that can be resurrected at will, are you really going to help me?"

Alice frowned.

When she told Klein that she could be the dead demigod, it was just a joke. Alice didn't think of really being the material for the ritual - she wasn't that generous.

But if Klein really has this need...

Alice scratched her hair and replied:

"I think, maybe my answer is similar to when I asked you to be my 'mother'. "

That is to say, if I really have similar needs and have no other choice, she will really agree...

Klein looked at Alice in amazement and said to her sincerely:

"Don't worry, I won't be polite when the time comes."

Alice frowned subconsciously. She instinctively felt that something was wrong. It seemed that she had said something wrong just now. Something connected between her and Klein, but after looking at Klein, Alice gave up looking for the source of this feeling.

... Klein will not hurt me.

Alice shook her head, shook off the weird feeling, and tried to make the topic serious again:

"You... Forget it, do you have a suitable target? I mean, a demigod who needs to be killed.

"Maybe we... No, maybe you can start collecting information and planning this "performance" now."

"Of course," Klein suddenly smiled brilliantly, "There is no one more suitable than him... He killed me to become a demigod, and I killed him to become a demigod... This will be a perfect closed loop!"

Alice was stunned for a moment, and it took her some time to remember who Klein was referring to. She exhaled and gave a name:

"Ince Zangwill?"

"Yes." Klein replied with a brilliant smile.

Alice pursed her lips.

The experience in Tingen City left her with a deep and faint impression. Everything seemed to have gone away after she left. After the captain shouted "Your Excellency", it seemed to have finally come to an end.

Unlike Klein, Alice did not have much intense hatred for Ince Zangwill at the beginning. She almost forgot about this person and Tingen City. After a long time, when she thought of it again, her first reaction was anger of being offended.

She did not put Ince Zangwill and herself on the same level.

But now thinking about it, Alice felt that she should hate him, not because he killed her, but because he was the beginning of a series of events. Maybe if there was no Ince Zangwill, she would not have stayed in Tingen. She would always die for other reasons and leave, but now, everything is attributed to Ince Zangwill, and she should hate him.

She smiled at Klein and whispered to him:

"... You can call me before you start.

"I probably won't help you-this will have a huge impact on the war situation. I'm not sure if you can still be considered the leader in that case.

"However, if you need it, I can give you a piece of luck-or later, anyway, this is a thank you gift."

Klein was stunned for a moment, then smiled:

"I thought you were about to forget him..."

"It's almost there." Alice spread her hands.

Klein didn't comment on this. Considering the time, he didn't say much to Alice. After a few words of advice, he left. Alice also didn't stay for long and disappeared on the spot.

…

Saturday, in the "Lune Charity Student Aid Fund".

Although Alice never mentioned the reward, Audrey felt from the good luck of her daily behavior recently that she had received the reward for treating Hazel.

So Audrey treated Hazel more diligently. After knowing that Hazel would come to the "Lune Charity Student Aid Fund" today, Audrey waited here.

Audrey, who had a certain understanding of Alice, knew that Alice would not have the patience to listen to the detailed treatment plan, so Audrey did not say it, but only reminded a few precautions.

In fact, in the first treatment, Audrey chose to let Hazel forget the matter after comforting her spirit.

Audrey planned to gradually let Hazel recall the relevant things in the future, which required long-term and continuous treatment. In Audrey's plan, it would be best if she could become friends with Hazel.

This was not difficult for a "psychologist". What Audrey lacked was the opportunity to talk to Hazel. Fortunately, the "Loen Charity Education Fund" helped a lot. In order to highlight their goodwill, every noble would come here to take a look.

Audrey met Hazel as a member of the "Loen Charity Education Fund" board of directors. She guided Hazel to visit the "Loen Charity Education Fund" and introduced her to it while using conversation skills and extraordinary abilities to make the relationship between them closer.

By the time they paused their visit and started to enjoy afternoon tea, they were already good friends. They sat opposite each other, and Hazel picked up the coffee and put it to her lips. The mellow aroma blended into the tip of her nose. This smell that she was used to in the past caused her to vomit today.

Looking at Hazel's expression, Audrey hurriedly asked: "What's wrong? This coffee..."

Audrey's eyes swept across the cup of coffee.

The nobles were dignified and polite. Even if the coffee was really unpalatable, they would not show it too obviously on the spot, not to mention that they started to retch before they even took a sip - Audrey would rather believe that there was something wrong with the coffee.

Thinking of this, Audrey picked up the coffee and smelled it, but she could not smell anything. She looked at Hazel, who covered her lower abdomen weakly and whispered:

"I don't feel well..."

Audrey was stunned for a moment, her eyes focused on the position of Hazel's hand, and suddenly remembered what Alice had told her.

In her impression, some women do seem to have symptoms such as nausea when they are pregnant.

Audrey's eyes froze for a moment, and she quickly suppressed this absurd guess in her heart, thinking that this was probably just a sequelae - after all, Amon had already stolen the child, how could Hazel have pregnancy reactions?

...

On the unfamiliar street, Amon muttered to himself in confusion:

"How come you all know this trick?

"But it's not quite the same. She and Ouroboros both completely let their minds go blank, while you... your mind is full of mixed thoughts, and I can't even steal a complete idea - it's made up of many ideas!"

"That stupid snake Ouroboros and she both took the crooked path..." Will Auceptin answered bluntly, "Especially her... I still can't figure out why fate chose her?"

"Huh?" Amon raised his eyebrows in surprise, "It sounds like... have you given up?"

Will Auceptin was silent for two seconds, and answered stubbornly:

"No, of course not.

"But she... ha, if you can become the 'Lord of Mysteries', I might not have no hope at all."

Amon laughed, turned the monocle on his right eye, and said in a soft voice:

"In that case, why don't you tell me the current identity of Klein Moretti?"

Will Asceptin answered bluntly:

"I'm not her - I have experienced the Fourth Era. You were very active in the Fourth Era. There is a lot of news about you among the Beyonders, and most of it is not good news.

"I don't believe that you will choose to help me after becoming the 'Lord of Mysteries'. Breaking promises is a very common thing for you.

"No, or to put it another way...you will indeed help me, you may make me your favored one, your clone, an inseparable part of you.

"Am I right?"

"There's something wrong," Amon corrected, "she actually knows how bad my reputation is."

This time, Will Auceptin was silent for a long time, and he asked hesitantly:

"Although she knows there is nothing wrong with these things, but...

"Why does she dare to cooperate with you after knowing your reputation? Isn't that asking for death?"

Amon didn't mind Will Asceptin telling the truth. He seemed to enjoy this kind of painless verbal attack, and said with a smile:

"Maybe that's my charm."

"?" Will Auceptin didn't speak for a long time and seemed speechless about this.

Silence was not the result Amon wanted. He curved his lips and asked with a slightly more serious tone:

"Okay, if that's the case, what can I do to convince you of my sincerity in cooperating?"

Will Auceptin replied nonchalantly: "Generally speaking, the best way to express sincerity to a person is to help him defeat his greatest enemy, or give him a gift he has longed for."

Amon nodded thoughtfully and analyzed carefully:

"I think your biggest enemies are Ouroleus and her, and what you desire most are the two 'Mercury Snakes' extraordinary characteristics of Ouroleus and her 'Wheel of Fortune' Uniqueness.

"Well...

"I understand, I just need to kill Ouroleus, or give you the extraordinary characteristic of 'Mercury Snake' in Ouroleus, right?"

After another long silence, Will Auceptin asked in an uncertain tone:

"...Are you serious?" (End of Chapter)
