Mystery: Lucky

Alice couldn't describe her current mood. She felt the cold again after a long time, as if she was in an ice cube, and her breathing and heartbeat were frozen in the cold.

Really... it melted...

The fist was clenched and then released. Alice stared at Arrodes in a daze and murmured:

"But... why am I also river water? Why am I river water?"

The mirror shook for a moment, and the silver light pieced together new words:

"Is this a problem?"

Alice suddenly calmed down. In an instant, she emptied her emotions and her mind became calm and clear. She looked at Arrodes and said calmly:

"This is not it."

The silver light disappeared, and Alice felt inexplicably that Arrodes was relieved.

After calming down, her thoughts became smoother. Alice recalled the picture shown by Arrodes and realized that she might indeed take a trip to the long river of fate - even if it was not for the river water.

She gathered her thoughts, spoke softly and slowly, and asked a nonsense question:

"What is the water of the River of Destiny?"

Arrodes paused for a while, seemingly not understanding the meaning of the question, but he still gave an answer according to his own understanding:

"It is destiny."

This answer made Alice pause for a moment, and then she realized that her mind might have run away from home when she asked the question just now.

-Isn't this nonsense?

Alice shook her head and frowned at Arrodes:

"If I plan to ask Qi Guang about the River of Destiny, what should I do?"

This is a question that makes Arrodes relax, and he gave a very smooth answer:

"I think you can go directly to the spirit world to find Qi Guang, but if you plan to hold a ceremony, this is the content of the ceremony.

"Do you want to use a secret ceremony or a spiritual ceremony? "

Alice recalled the difference between the two rituals in her mind.

Although they can both be used to communicate and acquire knowledge, in the secret ceremony, the supplicant must also open her heart and soul to contact the pointed existence, so as to obtain certain knowledge, power, help or spiritual experience, which will lead to her own thoughts and secrets being opened to that existence.

There are two types of spiritual rituals: direct communication and requesting the other party to descend. The manifestation of spiritualism is to talk across the air, and the descending of the spirit requires the preparation of a carrier in advance. If there is no carrier, the object of prayer will descend directly on the supplicant.

This can also be divided into two situations. One is that the possessed person completely loses consciousness and is controlled by the corresponding existence to answer other people's questions. The other is that the possessed person remains awake and can control certain parts of the body, so as to ask and answer questions with the descending spirit. The simplest example is that one can speak with the mouth and the other can write with the hand.

——Alice always felt that in the first case, the possessed person was just talking nicely, and in fact, it was just descending the carrier.

In any case, she definitely did not want to be the possessed person, and she did not like the secret ceremony, so she said directly:

"Spiritual ceremony. "

Arrodes immediately demonstrated the process of the spiritual ritual, which was nothing more than a familiar spiritual ritual with a different prayer. In addition, Arrodes also mentioned the appropriate attitude towards the Seven Lights - it told Alice that the Seven Lights were happy to be called "Master" or "Teacher".

Alice had an impression of this paragraph. She had read it in "Spiritual World Observations", but looking at the three-part honorific name, Alice was a little silent. After writing down this line of text, she asked:

"Will the Seven Lights... be very fierce? I mean, they are not the kind of very strict teachers...?"

"...No," Arrodes replied, "The Seven Lights are quite gentle and friendly to humans. "

At this time, Alice became alert instead, and she opened her mouth and said: "But I'm not a human. "

The silver light on the mirror went out and turned into a black color. Alice blinked as she looked at the dark mirror, and reached out to pat the mirror, just like patting a malfunctioning appliance.

So Arrodes was healed by the wisdom brought by this experience, and it showed new text:

"Do you have any more questions?"

Alice blinked, and in order not to disappoint Arrodes, she asked again:

"If I plan to go to the spirit world to see the seven lights, how should I find them?"

This time, Arrodes also answered very straightforwardly:

"The seven lights are shrouded above the spirit world. No matter where you are in the spirit world, you can see them covering the high places.

"In addition, the spirit world itself is a woven together of various information, some of which comes from the past, some from the present, and some foreshadowing certain futures. When you are in the spirit world and have the idea of ​​visiting it, the seven lights that control the spirit world to a certain extent will naturally notice it."

It can also be like this... Alice blinked her eyes and was about to say something, but Arrodes showed new text:

"Miss Destiny, can you help the humble and insignificant Arrodes to bring a greeting to the great master?"

Alice was silent for a moment, then said:

"Sure."

"Go away."

Arrodes immediately said:

"Since you ask so, I will leave."

Alice looked at the mirror in surprise and returned to its original state. After a moment of stagnation, she muttered to herself:

"... So urgent? Is it that necessary? "

She was not surprised that Arrodes didn't want to pay attention to her, but Alice was not very happy about Arrodes's eagerness to run away. She narrowed her eyes and decided to go to Klein and say bad things about Arrodes another day.

After that, Alice thought about the picture shown by Arrodes.

She recalled that very distant memory, not the ice cream that accidentally fell, but the scene after that, when she rushed forward.

——The surging, charming waves.

Alice always knew what it was, that was undoubtedly the long river of fate. She stepped into the long river of fate for unknown reasons. Alice thought at the time that this was the beginning of everything.

But the picture shown by Arrodes was undoubtedly telling her that when everything just started, she was already the river water, a part of fate...

...How is it possible.

Alice frowned, she didn't want to admit it, but this thought kept rising, she could even find a complete explanation for this matter-she was part of the fate of another world.

Or maybe she brought a part of the fate of another world...

Whichever it was, this matter sounded reasonable.

"I have to go to the River of Destiny," Alice said to herself, "But I have placed a commission at the Tarot Club... Maybe I should wait until I get the result of the commission? Well, I can also go to see the Seven Lights... By the way, Renette Tinicole lives in the spirit world, maybe I can ask Him!"

...

Dinner time, Senator Mori Macht's house.

"Ugh." Hazel Macht looked at the plate set by the waiter, and suddenly covered her mouth and nose with her hands, showing an uncomfortable expression.

Ms. Liana noticed her abnormality at the first time, and the mother hurriedly asked her daughter:

"Hazel, what's wrong? Are you uncomfortable?"

"Maybe my stomach is not feeling well..." She said with a pale face.

Liana frowned and looked at her daughter, and whispered, "You seem to be always uncomfortable recently... And I noticed that your appetite has been bad for a long time, and you have lost a lot of weight..."

Hazel forced a smile and whispered, "I have seen a family doctor... They couldn't find anything, and the medicine they prescribed didn't work..."

Hazel lowered her head when she said this.

She didn't lie. She did see a family doctor, and the family doctor really didn't find anything. He simply prescribed her some stomach-nourishing and digestive herbs, which didn't have much effect, but Hazel had some guesses about her condition.

-- Audrey's treatment of her is progressing steadily. Although Hazel has no idea about it and has not recovered her memory, she has not forgotten that she is an extraordinary person!

She thinks that there may be some diseases that are unique to extraordinary people, and ordinary doctors can't find them, let alone do anything about them.

But the problem is here-she doesn't know how to find other extraordinary people.

Ms. Liana knew about Hazel's request for help from the family doctor. She nodded, but still looked at Hazel with some worry and said:

"Your personality has changed a lot recently. Your father and I have seen it. We are very happy. We originally planned to send you to school to try, but your body..."

Hazel forced a smile and said, "Mom, you know, I am not pretending to be sick in order not to go to school."

"Of course I know," Ms. Liana sighed, "I am just very worried about your health...Hazel, I will take you to the hospital in the next two days. Your father and I have a friend who is a surgeon with excellent medical skills. Perhaps, we can ask him or his colleagues and classmates to help you..."

Hazel nodded and did not refuse.

...

Tuesday, Backlund, Odgar Villa

Cassimy Odra walked into the living room and shouted to Emlyn, who was looking gloomy:

"Emlyn, that big shot asked you to see Him."

"Okay." Emlyn restrained his emotions, held down the lower part of his vest, and stood up slowly.

--Before that, he was questioning the relevant information of the castle in question.

After walking down the stairs to the underground area, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked in a low voice: "Baron Cassimy, who is this big shot? What should I call him?"

Cassimy, who looked like a middle-aged gentleman, didn't hide it anymore, and answered with a respectful tone:

"Lord Olmer."

Duke Olmer... Emlyn subconsciously straightened his back and cast his eyes on the lamp stand on the wall next to him, as if he wanted to confirm his appearance from the projection on the metal surface.

This is one of the three dukes currently in charge of the blood clan. He is an ancient strong man who existed before the catastrophe. His title is "Full Moon". He is over three thousand years old and once followed the ancestor Lilith!

Without a doubt, this is the synonym of the history and glory of the blood clan!

Passing through a series of secret doors, Emlyn and Kasimi came to an iron-gray hall.

The ground and walls here are covered with grass, flowers and grains. Many insects crawl among the dense plants, making Emlyn feel as if he has left the city and come to the suburbs, feeling the prosperity of life.

Such a scene does not seem strange at first glance, but if you look closely, many places are extremely strange:

There are cracked mouths on the grass, and fibers fly out of it to catch insects; flowers use branches and leaves as hands to pick nectar by themselves; grains such as wheat are heavy, and occasionally there are cries from them; insects are divided into many categories, all different from normal ones, some have snake heads, and some have bird faces...

These things are more luxuriant as they move towards the center of the hall, and there is a vigorous tomb entwined there.

Kasimi faced the tomb and saluted respectfully:

"My Lord Duke, Emlyn White is here."

"Good afternoon, my Lord Duke." Emlyn was not as polite as usual, and even a little at a loss.

In the tomb, a mellow voice whose age could not be heard laughed:

"A very outstanding young vampire.

"Casimi, you leave here first."

"Yes, my Lord Duke." Casimi bowed and responded, leaving the iron-gray but refreshing hall.

Emlyn stood there and heard the mellow voice from the tomb asking:

"In the morning, Nibais said that you have obtained the artificial vampire extraordinary characteristics corresponding to the viscount rank?"

"Yes, but it is contaminated and needs to be purified first." Emlyn did not mention the removal of mental pollution in the extraordinary characteristics before because he believed that it was a very easy thing for the vampires, at least Baron Casimi confirmed that it was possible.

The vampire Duke Olmer said "well": "Very good, I will purify that characteristic myself. "

Then, the duke said some rather polite compliments. Emlyn didn't hear anything. He quietly raised his chin and then responded respectfully:

"I'm always ready."

"Yes." Olmer's mellow voice came from the grave, "Your next task is to find the important members of the Rose School hiding in Backlund. In this regard, there are few clues, and many situations require you to investigate on your own."

"Rose School? Do they have a grudge against our blood clan? They seem to have accepted some believers of the 'Original Moon'?" Emlyn actually learned a lot about the Rose School at the Tarot Club, but he deliberately concealed it and didn't show so much.

In addition to accepting believers of the 'Original Moon', they also occupy a sacred object of our blood clan. This is the original legacy of the ancestor, and we must take it back." Olmer's tone was a little more serious.

The remains of the ancestor... the holy relic of the blood clan... Emlyn spoke without hesitation:

"My Lord Duke, I will try my best to find important members of the Rose School in Backlund."

Olmer's voice softened and he said: "Very good, you wait and get some information from Cassimir and find a breakthrough point."

Emlyn was already a little impatient, but he still restrained himself and asked carefully:

"My Lord Duke, I recently got a formula for a magic potion, and one of the ingredients on it puzzled me...

"Have you heard of the water of the long river of destiny?" (End of this chapter)
