Mystery: Lucky One

Damn it!

Alice woke up suddenly because of this sound, and the look in her eyes when she looked at the book changed from delicious and tempting food to a terrifying monster.

The feeling of longing was not physical, Alice knew it.

She had seen that kind of desire coming from the depths of her spirituality many times, and past experience told her that it was an instinct for gathering.

After recovering her uniqueness, this instinct has been controlled to a certain extent. At least, low- and medium-sequence potions and extraordinary characteristics are no longer very attractive to her.

But facing the extraordinary characteristics of the High Sequence, Alice could still feel the hunger deep in her spirituality, just like that book just now... Damn, what the hell was that?

Alice didn't want to listen to other people's transactions. She reached out and grabbed Danitz's arm beside her. As Danitz looked at her in confusion, she pinched him hard through his clothes.

“Dog…!” Danitz swallowed back the curse words after only a hint of them leaked out. However, based on her experience, Alice thought that Danitz meant to say “dog shit”.

Danitz turned his head. He was wearing the same hood and mask as Alice. This was obviously not his intention. At this moment, when they were close enough, Alice could see that the only eyes he showed were filled with anger.

The anger quickly dissipated, and Danitz only felt himself in a trance for a moment, and Alice's voice rang in his mind:

"If I suddenly stand up or something later, remember to hold me back."

This is a technique of using authority that Alice developed when she was researching cheating schemes on exams - passing notes.

After all, if you can use divination to search for answers online, how can you not pass notes? Even cheat sheets, Alice has found a suitable substitute - the knowledge ink mentioned by Edwina.

The only drawback is that Alice has not found a way to pass notes to each other. Currently, this note can only be passed by her, and Danitz can't even ask her why.

Unless you pray with her.

Alice originally wanted to get Johnson to invest as well, but after asking, she found out that the Sequence 6 "Fire Thief" could not steal thoughts and ideas.

Oh, I miss Amon.

"I need the potion formula for the 'Thief' pathway, sequence 7."

A hoarse and unpleasant voice interrupted Alice's thoughts about Amon. Alice thought of the witch in the fairy tale. She looked up and found that the person who spoke was the owner of the book.

Sequence 7? A "thief"? Is she a "swindler"?
The first time this sequence appeared, Alice almost uncontrollably thought of Sylvia Marrone's face - apparently, she only knew such a "swindler".

Those who have been promoted and those who have died do not count.

No, this person is actually a suspected "scammer"... But it doesn't matter. It's better to kill someone by mistake than to let him go... No, it's not because I'm greedy for the book, really not.

Alice's eyes wandered for a moment, and she lowered her head and began to think.

No matter what method she uses to get the book later, now... now she can actually sell the potion formula of "Cryptocracy Scholar" first?

...channels of obtaining.

Hehehe, let her dig Amon’s grave.

Alice rolled her eyes, raised her hand and spoke:
"I don't have the potion formula you want, but I know where to find it... um, the Sequence 7 of the 'Thief', named 'Cryptologist'."

In order to gain trust, Alice told the name of Sequence 7. As for how the mysterious man would judge whether it was true or false... that was too obvious, and Alice was not confused about it at all.

——The book in her arms is of high sequence in the "Destiny" pathway. I just don't know what sequence it is... First, I'll rule out sequence 1.

They were facing each other from a distance, and Alice saw that the mysterious man did not express his opinion immediately. Instead, he sat quietly for a few seconds, opened the book on his lap, lowered his head to take a look, and then raised his head and said:

"How much do you want?"

Alice silently turned her head and looked at Danitz.

After being stunned for two seconds, Danitz realized that he was the one responsible for bargaining. Looking into Alice's eyes, Danitz thought that he should be more reliable than Alice in this regard.

He turned his head and said with great aura:

"A sequence 7 potion formula costs at least 750 pounds. If someone is in urgent need, it can even be sold for more than pounds. Of course, if it's just a clue, it will definitely be cheaper..."

"But the potion formula she wants is very rare," Alice interrupted Danitz, "The number of wild 'thieves' is far rarer than you think. You almost never see them outside."

After a pause, she looked at the book with an ocean blue cover with a smile and said softly:

"I guess you wouldn't be able to find this place without it."

"It's her," the mysterious man corrected subconsciously, "No matter how rare it is, it's still Sequence 7, and what you can give are just clues."

She? Alice was acutely aware of this, but she just smiled and said, "I can guarantee that my clues will be effective. You can definitely be promoted to 'Cryptologist' based on my clues."

Even ascended to demigod... Alice silently complained.

"How much do you want?" the mysterious man asked again.

Alice replied with her lips curved:

"750 pounds. This is because the clue may require a little help from the book in your hand. Of course, if you trust me, I don't mind letting you help me. I can do it for free."

Then collect some other things... Alice glanced at the book with an ambiguous look, and the mysterious man immediately hugged the book into his arms, protecting it tightly, and then said unhappily:

"make a deal.

"Write your clues on a piece of paper and upload it."

She cared a great deal about that book… Alice looked at her thoughtfully and began to write down the clues on a piece of paper:

"During the Fourth Age, there was an Amon family in the Tudor Dynasty. It was one of the five major families that supported the establishment of the Tudor Dynasty and was also a 'thief' family.

“At present, this family has disappeared in the tide of the times, and the family members have changed their names, but the mausoleum still exists.

"Go to the mausoleum of the Amon family. There must be what you want in there. Maybe you can also find other treasures."

After writing this, Alice read it again, and after making sure there were no other questions, she handed the note to the waiter.

Anyway, no matter what sequence number of the Beyonder Item, she should be able to sense that there is something wrong with this clue... No, the fact that this thing led her to find me is definitely problematic, right? !
Alice watched as the mysterious man took the note and opened the book again. After confirming it, he counted out 750 pounds in banknotes and handed them to the waiter, then slowly frowned.

——As a Sequence 8 Beyonder, she was frequently using a high-sequence magical item, and did not seem to be worried about the negative effects at all.

Why is this? (End of this chapter)
