Mystery: Lucky One

Emlyn the Moon always felt like he was being scolded. He felt like something was wrong. But when he thought of Alice in front of him, he gave up his defense and changed the subject:

"Have you thought about the compensation you need?"

These words were directed at Derrick, the Sun. Derrick was stunned for a moment and said:

"Uh... the formula for the 'Sun' pathway sequence 5 potion."

Sequence 5 potion formulas are very difficult to buy, with prices ranging from 4500 to 7000 pounds, depending on the urgency of the buyer and seller, as well as the price of authenticity verification... Just as Emlyn the Moon was about to agree, he heard Mr. World's hoarse voice:

"I have."

For a moment, the palace that looked like a giant's residence was silent. All the members of the Tarot Club seemed a little numb. Alice asked in surprise:
"Is this also one of the gains from your divination...your divination?"

Alice swallowed the "Eternal Sun" and asked in a more tactful way. The change of words was very obvious, and "Justice" Audrey and others couldn't help but start to wonder what she originally wanted to say.

Alice had no interest in answering questions. She stared at the "world" with burning eyes. Klein manipulated the "world" in this atmosphere and nodded:
"Yes."

"Moon" Emlyn asked promptly: "How much?"

After calculating Emlyn White's financial situation, Klein asked World Gehrman Sparrow to laugh softly:
"5000 pounds, 'Priest of Light' potion recipe."

5000 pounds? Emlyn was stunned for a moment, then he spoke without hesitation:

"make a deal!"

The World looked accustomed to this and nodded, "Okay."

Then, he saw Justice Audrey look around and heard the girl say:
"I have an investigative mission to entrust."

Investigation mission... Klein's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and the expression of "World" Gehrman Sparrow became a little dull.

Investigation mission? Alice turned her head curiously.

"What investigation mission?" Magician Fors took the initiative to ask.

In her impression, Miss Justice's commissions were all relatively simple with generous rewards, so she had to accept them if she could!
Audrey, the Justice, organized her words and said:
"Two things happened in Backlund recently. One was the suspected frame-up of Baron Sinderas, and the other was the attack on Macht, a member of the House of Commons, for air pollution control...

"In both cases, there is a wealthy businessman named Dwayne Dantes. He has only been in Backlund for about two months and has just donated shares worth more than 10,000 pounds to the Church of Evernight in an attempt to establish a scholarship fund for the poor.

"I would like someone to investigate the true situation of this gentleman."

“Poof!” Alice couldn’t help laughing out loud, “Dwayne Dantès, poof, hahahahaha, ahahahahahahaha burp.”

Her laughter was undisguised. Even a fool could tell that she was an insider. Klein gave Alice a warning look in the gray fog. Alice smiled and raised her hand to make an "OK" gesture. Then she stopped laughing and said to Justice Audrey:
"You know what? I almost became Dwayne Dantes, or Dwayne Dantes' daughter."

"Huh?" Audrey looked at her with a confused look.

Alice spread her hands and said:

"Perhaps Mr. Fool or Mr. World should tell you this... Um, Mr. World?"

She turned her head towards the "world".

Alice's laughter successfully stopped the "magician" Fors from thinking about Mr. "World", and her subsequent words revealed a shocking possibility, which made Fors feel horrified by her previous thoughts.

The others also had some vague guesses. They realized that Dwayne Dantès was most likely a fake identity of the "world" Gehrman Sparrow, and they all looked over.

As everyone watched, the "world" spoke in a low voice:

"Dwayne Dantes is an identity."

After a brief thought, Klein decided to define Dwayne Dantes as a public vest rather than a simple "world" - to prevent Tarot from being exposed if Leonard comes one day.

Besides, he didn't want to leave the impression in the minds of the Tarot Club members that the Fool only had one Follower - Alice didn't count.

Dwayne Dantès is just an identity? Audrey, Justice, looked thoughtfully at the unfinished World.

Then, she heard the World Gehrman Sparrow simply say:
“An identity that I share with my peers.

"I occasionally disguise myself as him."

Having said that, he glanced at the "magician" without any emotion.

Magician Fors felt as if she was struck by lightning. She froze and was glad from the bottom of her heart that she had not voiced her doubts about Dwayne Dantes' kidney and prostate.

Audrey suddenly understood what Alice had just said and confirmed her guess - at least part of it.

After a brief moment of bewilderment and shock, most of Audrey's emotions quickly subsided, leaving only excitement.

Apart from the "magician" Fors whom she introduced to the club, this was her first time meeting other members of the Tarot Club in real life!
"It feels like history is being written at this moment! Um, Mr. World, and Mr. Fool's other followers, um, they should also be considered the World, why did they come up with the identity of Dwayne Dantès? What exactly do they want to do?
"The false accusation against Baron Sindras, the poison attack on Senator Macht, and their donations to establish a scholarship fund are really more complicated and more important than I expected... Why do I suddenly feel that the upper echelons of the kingdom are beginning to become uneasy? I had this feeling when the smog incident that killed Prince Edessak occurred, and it is even stronger today.

"Now that I know Dwayne Dantes's identity, I may be able to participate and cooperate indirectly to reduce the risk of my parents being affected and the risk of innocent people dying..." Audrey, "Justice", made a decision quickly. That was to agree with her father and join the "Loen Charity Student Aid Fund" established by Dwayne Dantes. Then, she muttered in her heart:
Isn't it reasonable that the charity fund established by Mr. "World" of the Tarot Club is joined by "Justice" of the Tarot Club?

At this moment, Alger the Hanged Man and Cattleya the Hermit were not too surprised that Dwayne Dantès was the World, the collection of Mr. Fool's followers. The most common thought that flashed through their minds was:

Big things are going to happen to Backlund!

Alice glanced at Klein thoughtfully. Even though she knew that Klein had not told the whole truth, she did not expose him.

Emlyn the Moon sat up straight and asked innocently:

“What is this public identity used for?”

Alice turned her head and looked at him in surprise.

You ask so many questions, why don’t you investigate it yourself… Klein criticized Emlyn White in his heart and made the dummy “World” laugh in a low voice:
"certainly.

"To be investigated."

This ambiguous attitude clearly meant that he was unwilling to speak. Although Emlyn the Moon had no emotional intelligence, he more or less understood what the World meant at this moment. He laughed dryly twice and stopped talking. Seeing this, Audrey the Justice took a second to control the corners of her mouth that were about to rise, and then said to Gehrman Sparrow the World:

"Okay, I see, thank you for letting me know."

At this moment, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that joining the "Loen Charity Student Aid Fund" was a good thing. If she really encountered any risks in the future, or something she couldn't handle, she could just notify Mr. "World" in advance, and then go to the foundation normally and get busy next to Dwayne Dantès.

Well, if the Psychological Alchemy Society has doubts about me, or uses a mission to test me, I will arrange a meeting with them at the Foundation... The image of Dwayne Dantès is completely different from the image Mr. "World" showed above the gray fog. Well, Mr. "World" is an experienced disguiser...

Also, Dwayne Dantes is a public figure, not always equal to German Sparrow, no wonder there are rumors that he has a wide range of preferences in women...

A crazy killer and adventurer like Gehrman Sparrow would definitely be more appropriately paired with a pure and innocent girl... No, wait.

Audrey suppressed the image of Miss Destiny in her mind and dared not think any further.

Alice looked around and asked Justice Audrey:

"I'm a little curious.

"Where is the commission you were planning to pay?"

Audrey paused suspiciously for a moment before she remembered the style of this lady of destiny. She remained silent for two seconds, glanced at the expressionless "world", and asked hesitantly:

"I intend to pay 500 pounds for the investigation. How do you and Mr. World intend to split it?"

This meant that he wanted to give money. Klein felt a little happy. He looked at Alice under the cover of the gray fog. Alice ignored his expectant expression and turned to Audrey and said,
"It's simple.

"You can give him a gold coin as a souvenir, and give me the remaining 499 pounds."

The expectation and gratitude in Klein's eyes disappeared as he looked at Alice, and turned into suppressed anger.

This… “Justice” Audrey instinctively looked towards “the world”.

"Hand in half," The World said firmly.

Alice glanced at the world unhappily, but nodded and agreed.

"...Okay." "Justice" Audrey couldn't tell how she felt for a moment, and just agreed to it.

The World, Gehrman Sparrow, nodded and stopped talking about Dawon Dantes. He turned to the Sun, Derrick, and asked:

"Do you have any tricksters or evil spirits there?"

The World paused, then added:

"Perhaps you call it by another name. Anyway, it is good at camouflage, has strange abilities, is close to the level of a demigod, and has a main eye with a lot of special features..."

Alice's expression slightly changed. She knew that Klein was collecting the main ingredients for Sequence 4 potions. It was not until this moment that she realized that Klein had unknowingly approached Sequence 4 and was approaching the existence of a demigod.

Of course, the most important thing is that he is almost catching up with me!

Alice was very unhappy about this fact. She couldn't wait to return to real life and take the Sequence 3 potion, but then she remembered that she didn't have any auxiliary materials.

…Or should I just eat the characteristics?
Alice lowered her head in deep thought.

Auxiliary materials are not necessary for promotion. As long as you have the ritual and the main materials, you can be promoted even without the auxiliary materials. Alice is very experienced in this regard.

Alice's ritual had already been completed in a way that she did not understand. If she wanted, she could take the extraordinary properties of "Chaos Walker" at any time.

"Sun" Derrick thought for a moment and said:

"It's not found among the common monsters, but maybe someone has encountered one before. I'll look it up in the information or ask for you."

Alice glanced at Derrick, frowned slightly, and decided to keep trying. If there was still no clue by the time Klein got the main materials, then forget it.

...It's so annoying, why do they upgrade so quickly?

Alice slumped down in dissatisfaction.

The dummy World said "Hmm" to end the conversation. Then, the Magician Fors said:

"I need the cursed object and residual spirituality of the ancient vengeful spirit."

She had made this request more than once at the Tarot Club, but unfortunately, the result this time was no different from before, and still no one responded to her.

She was the last person to propose a deal. Then, the Tarot Club's deal session ended and the free exchange session began. Alice raised her hand and said lazily:

"Amon's focus has shifted away from Backlund."

Everyone in the Tarot Club breathed a sigh of relief. Although most of them had never met Amon, Alice and Derrick's descriptions were particularly terrifying. When they heard that such a guy was around them, they were all a little panicked.

Alice looked at their expressions, stroked her chin and said:

"There was an interesting incident in the Church of Night this week."

She spoke with a smile. Emlyn the Moon and Derrick the Sun looked over subconsciously, while Alger the Hanged Man, Audrey the Justice, and Cattleya the Hermit had a bad premonition due to their past experiences and their bodies tensed up.

Fortunately, what Alice said this time was indeed something interesting even to ordinary people:

"You know the Chanis Gate of the Church of Evernight, right? Well, it's where the Sealed Objects are stored.

"Just this week, a shameless thief broke into Chanis Gate, walked around and walked out without taking anything.

"The Church of Darkness is angry and terrified about this. They are investigating who did it, and many people have been investigated."

The world followed up with this sentence: "I was also investigated."

Audrey looked at Alice, hesitant to speak. When she heard about this, her first reaction was that Alice did it, but she rationally did not ask, but looked at the head of the bronze table, hoping to judge by Mr. Fool's reaction. (End of this chapter)
