Mystery: Lucky

"Not necessarily," Amon stretched out his hand and turned his monocle, "But, you know, I do have a grudge against Ourolius."

A dark vortex swirled in the monocle. Amon put down his hand carelessly and said with a smile:

"Besides... excluding Ourolius who has been eliminated, isn't it reasonable for the two of you to have one stand on the Fool's side and the other on my side?"

...That's so reasonable!

Alice, who happened to see this scene, opened her eyes wide. Amon tilted his head with a smile, and his eyes fell on Alice from a distance, as if telling her clearly that what he just said was meant for her.

But Alice couldn't figure out the use of telling her this. She could guess that it was probably related to the final ceremony of becoming a god, but here was the problem - she didn't know what the specific relationship was.

But there is no doubt that Amon will not tell her the answer. After repeated attempts and unable to think of the answer, Alice chose to give up.

Anyway, if the goal cannot be achieved, He will try harder.

Alice turned her attention to the immediate things again, and time turned to Sunday. It was already the end of the week. Several days had passed since she handed the painting to Ian. Alice thought, She should probably pay more attention to the prophecy.

Don't forget that the prophecy has already happened, and she still doesn't know where it happened.

Thinking of this, Alice tried to find the detailed location of the incident through divination. This was the easiest way she could think of, but the divination unexpectedly failed, and she fell directly out of a gray dream.

This made Alice, who had no clue about it, frown, because she lost the most reliable condition to confirm whether the prophecy came true.

...Do I want to predict whether the prophecy will be successful?

A strange thought flashed through her mind, and Alice decided to give it a try.

She silently recited "The prophecy has failed" and flipped the coin. The coin showed tails. Alice looked at the coin in her hand in surprise and realized that this divination had really been answered.

She decided to toss a coin every day from now on.

…

"Boom, boom, boom."

There was a knock on the door, startling Selwyn who was leaning on the sofa with her eyes half closed. She struggled to open her bloodshot eyes and said in a hoarse voice:

"Please come in."

No one opened the door, but the sound insulation effect of the door was not good. Selwyn heard the cheers outside the door:

"Great! The witch in the newspaper is really here!"

Then, Selwyn heard the sound of the doorknob turning. She squinted her eyes and looked in the direction of the door. Four or five teenage children opened the door and poured in. They said happily:

"Oh my god, are you the magical witch who can grant wishes as mentioned above?"

Selwyn looked at the paper on which the first child was born, and recognized that it was the advertisement he had scribbled on, so he nodded and admitted:

"That's right."

——After discussing with "Cassandra", she believed that taking the initiative to come to the door to fulfill wishes was ultimately inferior. She wanted people to come to the door themselves.

This kind of small graffiti advertisement aimed at children is Selwyn's experiment. So far, it seems that she has succeeded. The leading child's message is authentic:

"Great! Can I make a wish then?"

"Of course," Selwyn laughed, "What wish do you want to make? Let me remind you first that there is a price to pay for making a wish with me. You should first think about whether you can accept the price."

So the leading boy asked, "What's the price?"

Following "Cassandra's" instructions, Selwyn replied: "I'm afraid you won't know until you realize your wish - don't worry, the price won't be very serious."

But the kid didn't appreciate it. He simply put away the advertisement and said to Selwyn:

"Then I won't allow it."

With that said, the child turned to leave.

Selwyn suddenly became unhappy. She regarded several children as her prey. How could she let them go this time? She said sadly:

"Walk?"

The children paused for a moment, as if they sensed some danger. The leading child turned back and said to Selwyn:

"That's right, it's getting late, we should go home for dinner."

Selwyn interpreted this as a threat, roughly equivalent to the fact that there are still people waiting for me at home. If I don't go back, you will be in big trouble.

He didn't like threats, especially now. Selwyn's tolerance for threats was not high, it could be said to be almost zero. After hearing these words, she suddenly became angry.

Hard spider silk, black flames, and ice appeared all at once, and the children were frightened in place. However, Selwyn, who had already moved his hands, ignored this scene. He continued his efforts, leaving only the children holding the flyers.

Caressing the four children lying beside him, Seven also smiled slightly, and her bloodshot eyes looked like a ghost.

This successfully frightened the kid of the opposite sex who was caught. He shook his head in panic and said:

"I have no, no, no other wishes!"

Undaunted, Selwyn dispatched the child without hesitation.

…

Several families who did not wait until their children returned from the outing realized that something had happened that day. They called the police without hesitation. Only after the family of the last child had left did the police on duty put down the file.

"Five people..." He looked through what he had recorded. "They all know each other. They went out together and didn't come back..."

The policeman quickly defined the matter in his mind. He thought it was a missing person commission. After recalling the family information and attitudes of the five children, the policeman shook his head and thought it was unprofitable.

Just look for it casually... With this thought in mind, he put down the file again.

...

It was three o'clock on Monday afternoon. Above the gray fog, after answering another question from "Hermit" Cattleya, Klein nodded and said:

"You can start."

"The Hanged Man" Alger immediately looked at the "World" Gehrman Sparrow at the bottom of the bronze long table, and said carefully:

"Sorry, you may have to wait for a while for your magical item."

Without waiting for the other party to speak, he quickly gave an explanation:

"The 'craftsman' was strangely infected with a disease, and there were suspicious peepers around, so it was delayed. I will go there in person to see if I can solve his troubles and let him recover as soon as possible. I will try to make the magical item you need within these two weeks. "

He said it very sincerely, and expressed his apology and importance, but Alice read a trace of fear from it. After two seconds of silence, she sincerely reminded Alger, the "Hanged Man":

"Do you know, Mr. 'Hanged Man'?

"Generally speaking, if there is an intermediary, if the other party fails to deliver the goods on time, we will hold the intermediary accountable, not the trading party."

Alger, the "Hanged Man", looked at the "World" stiffly.

Klein twitched his mouth in the gray fog, and hurriedly let the "World" speak:

"I agree to postpone this time, but there will be no next time."

He said it very calmly, but Alger, the "Hanged Man", thought of what Alice had just said, and felt that there was a lot of murderous intent hidden in it, which was horrifying.

"Thank you for your understanding." He said calmly on the surface.

Seeing this, Cattleya, the Hermit, who was listening to their conversation, looked at the Hanged Man, slightly curled her lips, pushed her glasses, and took the initiative to say:

"If you can't solve that problem, I can help."

In her opinion, if the problem is not big, it can even be free. After all, it means that she bypassed the Hanged Man and directly established contact with the Craftsman.

How could Alger, the Hanged Man, not understand the real intention of Cattleya, the Hermit? He only felt that the other party showed a strong aggressiveness, which made him feel a certain degree of pressure. He paused and responded calmly:

"Then I will thank you for your kindness in advance on his behalf."

On the one hand, he showed that he had a close relationship with the Craftsman, and on the other hand, he did not directly reject it, leaving himself a way out - compared to being troubled by Gehrman Sparrow, sacrificing some interests is not unacceptable.

But after letting go, there were more than one troubles. Alice said to Alger, the Hanged Man, kindly:

"I can help too!"

Alger was silent for a moment, and responded in the same way:

"I also thank you for your kindness on his behalf, Miss Fate."

Klein found it funny, and manipulated the "World" to join the conversation:

"I can help too."

This was completely terrifying. Alger, the Hanged Man, regarded this as a warning that the "World" was impatient, and he promised:

"If you need me, I will definitely tell you."

The "World" nodded, and Cattleya took the opportunity to ask: "Are you satisfied with the West Balam intelligence?"

She had collected and sorted out the West Balam intelligence that Gehrman Sparrow needed last Thursday, and delivered it to the other party through a messenger.

After all, it is difficult for most people to accept Mr. Fool as a messenger.

It cost me a full 300 pounds. If it is not up to standard, I will return it on the spot! Klein muttered something, and "World" Gehrman Sparrow said "hmm" as an answer.

Then, the dummy's eyes turned to Miss "Magician".

Fors suddenly felt uncomfortable, like a mouse being stared at by a cat. She couldn't help but wonder if she had done something wrong again. She asked with a little trepidation:

"Mr. 'World', is there anything?"

"World" Gehrman Sparrow nodded and said:

"A commission.

"Get the information about Calderon City in the spiritual world from the Abraham family, and the most important thing is the location."

This question made Alice couldn't help but look over. She frowned and asked Klein:

"Why don't you ask me? "

The doubts of "Hermit" Cattleya rose and fell. She realized that it was not that Miss Fate could not do it, but that "The World" did not ask.

- You rarely find an angel who cannot move freely in the spiritual world. It's just the difference in freedom.

Of course, as a path that focuses more on spiritual power, the relationship between the "Fate" path and the spiritual world is unquestionable.

Klein certainly knew about this. She turned to Alice and asked bluntly:

"Have you been there?"

Alice answered frankly: "I haven't."

Klein manipulated "The World" to put its attention back on "Magician" Fors. "Hermit" Cattleya and other members began to consider the purpose of "The World" going to this city, while "Magician" Fors forced a smile:

"No problem, I will ask for you."

"How much is the reward?" "The World" Gehrman Sparrow asked in a flat tone.

Magician Fors's mind raced, and out of fear of the World, he reluctantly offered:

"350 pounds."

Alice looked at Magician Fors in surprise, and blurted out:

"Hey, is this information that is easy to obtain?"

The smile on Magician Fors's face became even uglier. She turned stiffly to Alice and replied politely:

"I think this may have something to do with people. For certain people, this is indeed information that is easy to obtain."

Alice nodded thoughtfully, and the World also nodded:

"Deal."

Seeing that the World had nothing else to do, Emlyn the Moon turned his head slightly anxiously to look at the Sun:

"Do you have the extraordinary characteristics of Sequence 5 artificial vampires?"

"I haven't accumulated enough merits yet." The Sun Derrick was not ashamed this time, but felt that Mr. Moon was too anxious. The merits required for the Sequence 5 extraordinary characteristics were not so easy to accumulate.

Emlyn the Moon quickly turned his head back, suddenly remembering something, and hurriedly said to the Magician Fors:

"There are clues about the cursed objects and residual spirits of the ancient vengeful spirits, and I am waiting for the details.

"This may not be giving you the items directly, but providing you with information to tell you where the ancient vengeful spirits are near Backlund."

At this point, Emlyn thought for a moment and said:

"300 pounds. "

In other words, I need to hunt down the ancient vengeful spirit myself? In various mystical rumors, this is a very powerful monster... After listening to Mr. "Moon"'s words, Fors's first reaction was embarrassment, and her second reaction was, why not entrust the hunting task to Mr. "World", who will definitely be able to complete it quickly and smoothly!

But thinking that the cost of hiring Mr. "World" must be far more than the value of the ancient vengeful spirit, she thought it would be better to try it herself.

... Or, I buy some fortune charms from Miss Destiny?

Thinking of Alice's last offer, "Magician" Fors hesitated for a moment, thinking that the offer was more likely to be a spoof, she tentatively asked Alice:

"Miss Destiny, do you still have the idea of ​​selling fortune charms?"

Alice turned to look at "Magician" Fors, and asked her sympathetically:

"Although I sympathize with you, I wanted to sell the fortune charm at that time because my financial situation at that time was similar to yours.

"As for now... well, actually, compared to rich people like Miss Justice, I probably still don't have much money, but money doesn't seem to be of much use to me." (End of this chapter)
