Mystery: Lucky

The room suddenly became quiet, and Emlyn realized from the silence that he might have said the wrong thing. He looked at the grave in front of him and did not dare to speak or make any move.

I don’t know how much time passed before the voice finally sounded from the tomb:

"oh?

"What kind of potion requires water from the River of Destiny?"

How do I know...I don't even know if this is used to make potions.

Emlyn was so nervous that he began to regret that he had not discussed it with Mr. "The Hanged Man" before asking the question, but the play had to go on, so Emlyn replied:

"I have no idea."

Duke Olmo in the grave then asked: "Don't know?"

Emlyn became even more nervous. He murmured for a long time without being able to say a word. However, Duke Olmo in the grave answered his question out of some unknown state of mind:

"The River of Destiny is a symbol of destiny. Its appearance is an illusory long river of light, and its water... is probably a part of destiny.

"I haven't heard of it before, but based on this assumption, I can probably think of some ways to get it, but..."

The voice paused and then added:

“Destiny is a long river, but it is not so easy to find.

"It is said that it is located in the spiritual world, but it has no fixed location. It is not difficult to get in touch with the river of destiny, but this river... According to rumors, it is a river between reality and reality."

Duke Olmo's voice stopped here again. Emlyn, who was fascinated by the sound, waited for a moment. When he didn't hear the sound that continued, he subconsciously asked:

"Between reality and fiction?"

After a moment of silence, Duke Olmo continued:

“It’s hard to say about the spiritual world, but for some demigods with the ability to deal with destiny, it’s not surprising to see the long river of destiny.

"But most of the time, they can see it, but they can't touch it or get close to it. They can only 'see' it. Even if they 'see' it passing through their bodies, they won't feel anything.

"Only very occasionally...well...I have an old friend. Before I fell into a deep sleep, he told me that he saw the river of destiny drowning him. At first he felt a sense of suffocation, but then he felt a sense of suffocation. There was no feeling anymore, and those images were like hallucinations.

"He thought it was a revelation of destiny, but he couldn't decipher the content of the revelation... Maybe he did decipher it and couldn't believe it. In short, he was very worried at the time, and the facts proved that his worries were right. because……

"He died shortly after I fell into sleep."

"Dead?!" Emlyn's voice rose several degrees.

Duke Olmo used the pronoun "He", which meant that the unfortunate deceased was at least an angel, and the death of an angel was already an earth-shattering event for the current Emlyn.

His shocked mood failed to attract any concern from Duke Olmo. The Duke seemed to suddenly recall the past and continued with some emotion:

"Yeah, dead...

"You asked a question today, and I just remembered this... I don't know if He was really drowned in the river of destiny, or if He just received a revelation?"

Emlyn couldn't answer. He didn't dare to answer the question. The vampire's already pale skin looked particularly pale at this moment. There was no color on his face, and his eyes were full of fear. Duke Olmo seemed to have had enough, and sighed. One voice said:

"Okay, it's time for you to go."

Emlyn knew that this was an expulsion order, and he should leave like this. At this moment, he remembered that he had not finished asking about the old castle where "Magician" Forsi was going, so he had to say:

"Your Excellency, I, I have another question..."

…

After Emlyn left, Casimi Audra walked in and saluted in the direction of the tomb:

"Your Majesty the Duke."

Duke Olmo in the tomb said in a cold voice:

"Has he been to the abandoned castle in the middle of Delaire Forest?"

Qasimi was just stunned and responded:

"have no idea.

"But Ernes Boyard sold him the news about the castle..."

The room fell silent again, and after more than ten seconds, Duke Olmo said:

"Ones? What did he say?"

Casimi introduced the previous transaction and the conversation that took place in the living room, describing the quarrel between Ernes and Emlyn. After listening to all this, Duke Olmo commented sharply:

"It sounds like neither he nor the people who got the information from him are very smart...or maybe they don't like to use their brains very much?"

Casimi did not answer this sentence and lowered his head. Duke Olmo did not care and said to himself:

"The river of destiny...destiny...the yellow and black king who controls good luck...

"Could it be that the 'monsters' who escaped from the 'School of Life' also believed in this fool?

"If that's the case, maybe this fool can really become our friend..."

Kasimi raised his head in surprise. He was not an autistic person like Emlyn. As a vampire with a long lifespan, they were always known for their erudition. Kasimi was no stranger to this secret organization called "School of Life" and also knew about them. News of civil unrest.

The "School of Life" was invaded by the indulgent faction of the "Rose School". Members of the other faction were scattered during the pursuit, and the speaker of their faction had not appeared for a long time. Not long ago, a saint who was the leader of the faction News of death also came...

This made the remaining members insecure and worried that they would be next. Except for a very few who were still holding on, most of them chose to find another way out, such as joining another faction and reporting on their former comrades...

Of course, the people who do such things are not in the majority. The real majority hide their identities and join other forces to seek asylum. However, no matter what the choice is, the "School of Life" has in fact become an affiliated organization of the "Rose School" .

As for the relationship between the "Rose School" and the vampire clan... let's not mention it.

Duke Olmo did not remain silent for long. He said to Casimi:

"There is no doubt that Emlyn has established a relationship with the Fool. We will continue to test his status with the Fool and try to confirm the Fool's attitude towards us.

“In addition, while fighting against the ‘Primordial Moon’ believers in the ‘Rose School’, you can also try to find defecting members of the ‘Life School’ to confirm whether any of them have chosen to believe in the Fool.

"Also, try to find out who went to the old castle in the middle of Delaire Forest."

Qasimi complied with the requests one by one and then exited the room.

…

"The new secret partner..." Klein frowned in thought.

As a "cunning mage", it is indeed a bit miserable not to have a secret puppet, but when it came to the need for a secret puppet, Klein found that he could not think of it.

By Sequence 4, his lack of defense problem has been solved by the secret puppet that can freely change his appearance and change places with his master. No one can distinguish the secret puppet of "Cunning Mage" from his true body. He does not seem to have this aspect. needs.

When it comes to mobility, "travel" undoubtedly solves all problems, and he doesn't need this ability either.

If anything, Klein thinks his problem is still the same - he still seems to lack effective attack methods.

Of course, the spiritual body thread does not count.

After being promoted to demigod, some of the extraordinary items he had originally became useless. Klein is planning to find opportunities to take action while looking for new replacements.

He originally planned to make up for this through items. The main reason was that secret puppets were different from magical items. If he wanted to obtain an extraordinary secret puppet, he had to capture him alive first.

——This is much harder than killing people to gain characteristics.

However, the objects of his transaction were Cattleya the Hermit and Alger the Hanged Man. Even if there might be Bernadette the Queen of Mysteries behind them, Klein did not think this was an appropriate request.

What's more, the person being supplemented is just a "craftsman". Even if there is a slight premium due to the route, it shouldn't be enough to compete with a demigod...?

"Thinking about it carefully, actually 'winner' is the most suitable one..." Klein sighed, "Otherwise, what I lack most seems to be a waiter... a waiter?"

Klein's voice paused and his expression became strange. He thought of Daniz who was flexible and flexible, and after a moment of silence he said thoughtfully:

"Maybe...'Reaper'?"

This was Sequence 5 of the "Hunter" path, which was also the sequence Anderson belonged to at the time. After getting the "Red Priest" card, Klein matched Anderson's abilities.

Extraordinaries of this sequence can discover the opponent's weaknesses from a mystical perspective, that is, weak areas of defense, and provide corresponding precision, thereby causing devastating damage beyond normal levels.

Moreover, no matter where they hit the target, it is equivalent to a weak point attack. If they really hit the real weak point, then they can achieve a fatal blow against an enemy whose defense is not too strong, and three hits against a target who is good at defense. It can be solved within a short period of time, including "Guardian", provided that the interval between three hits cannot be too long, preferably no more than 5 seconds.

This is undoubtedly a very useful ability for Klein who lacks effective attack methods, but the problem is that he has a magical item with a similar effect.

——"Death Knell" revolver.

"It's almost the upper-level replacement of 'Death Knell'..." Klein said to himself, "But the 'Winner' secret couple is probably just the lower-level replacement of Alice..."

Between high substitution and low substitution, Klein finally decided to choose high substitution.

…

After resting for a day, Alice decided to summon Reinette Tinichole.

This is very simple. She summoned this messenger lady who belonged to Gehrman Sparrow. The figure with four heads came to reality from the spirit world. After seeing Alice, she paused for a moment, and then four pairs of eyes Let's search for letters together.

"I have something to ask you for," Alice interrupted her search, "I remember you live in the spirit world, right?"

The four heads opened their mouths at the same time, and... they said at the same time: "Yes."

Alice looked at the strange scene in front of her and was silent for a moment before raising her forehead and saying:

"He chose the 'Cunning Mage', and he made the right choice... But you don't look like a member of the Paranormal Circus. You are more suitable for going to a haunted house..."

Reinette's face showed confusion that was visible to the naked eye, and she said:

"This..." "Is..." "What..." "What does it mean?"

The intermittent voices made Alice feel a sense of exhaustion. She decided not to chat with Reinette and went straight to the point:

"It's not important, I called you here to ask you...

"Since you have lived in the spirit world all year round, have you ever heard of the River of Destiny, or seen it?"

Reinette was stunned for a moment and asked the same question as everyone else:

"You..." "Also..." "I don't know..." "Destiny..." "Changhe..." "In..." "Where..." "?"

Alice gave Reinette a sly expression, clearly showing that she didn't want to mention this matter.

——She was really a little tired of being asked.

Reinette wisely stopped asking questions and recalled seriously:

"I..." "No..." "In..." "Spiritual world..." "Inside..." "I've seen..." "Destiny..." "The river..." "But..." "I... ..." "Be able to..." "Feel..." "Destiny..." "Long river."

Alice immediately realized that this was probably a clueless one.

As if reading dissatisfaction from her mood, Reinette hurriedly added:

"Maybe..." "I..." "Can..." "In..." "The spirit world..." "Help you..." "Inquiry..." "Just a moment."

If I want you to help me find out, I might as well ask Qiguang directly... Alice curled her lips and said dejectedly:

"No, um, you charge an appearance fee... No, you charge a door-to-door fee?"

"?" Reinette stood there blankly, trying to understand the slightly new words in Alice's mouth.

Seeing this, Alice thought for a moment and took out a gold coin from her body. After hesitating for a moment, Alice reached out and handed it out.

Reinette was silent for the gold coin for a moment, and then, in Alice's doubtful eyes, he held two heads in one hand and raised them up, approaching Alice's hand.

This strange scene made Alice quickly retract her hand. In Reinette's confused eyes, Alice said with a serious expression:

“I decided to change the way I was paid.

"First, you have to do it with me, come on, 3, 2, 1, ah——"

She opened her mouth wide. Reinette was stunned for a moment, then she also opened her mouth, and her four heads opened simultaneously.

Alice looked at the four golden-red heads with wide open mouths and pondered for two seconds, then raised her hand and threw the golden coin into the first mouth.

Reinette subconsciously closed her mouth and caught the gold coin. After a few breaths, a strong wind blew up in the room. Alice noticed that the atmosphere in the room instantly became cold, books and papers were blown away, and even the table tended to shift. In front of her, Reinette said syllable by syllable:

"Ai..." "Li..." "Si!"

As soon as Alice saw this scene, she began to think about whether she should run away or admit her mistake, but then, looking at Reinette's anxious last head, she couldn't help but said:

"You can add my last name too." (End of Chapter)
