Mystery: Lucky One

Got the benefits...was it fun?

Such thoughts popped up in the minds of the Tarot Club members, but no one dared to speak. The "World" seemed to have not heard it and spoke:

"Although the 'War Angel' Medici has long since fallen, he is not completely gone. His remaining spirit has merged with the remaining souls of the ancestors of the two major families of Soran and Einhorn, and has transformed into an evil spirit. Its figure appeared in the death of Ince Zangwill."

"Ah?" This time it was Alice's turn to be shocked.

She did know that the evil spirit in Ince Zangwill came from Medici, but it was the first time she heard that Medici had merged Soren and Einhorn.

She looked at the "world" in surprise and found that the puppet nodded.

...good guy.

Alice's history was not very good, but out of her understanding of the aggregation of extraordinary characteristics, she asked directly: "Are those two also from the 'Red Priest' path?"

Klein nodded, and Alice hissed, "Whose idea was this? Putting three enemies together?"

——She didn’t think that high-sequence relationships on the same pathway could be that good.

Moreover, the relationship between these people is probably similar to that between her and Will Auceptin, Amon and Pales Zoroast...

Well, now maybe we can add The Fool and Zaratul.

Alice shook her head speechlessly, and said to the World encouragingly:

"Come on, dear 'prey'."

——Sequence 9 of the Red Priest, named Hunter.

The corner of Klein's mouth twitched, and he controlled the "world" whose expression did not change at all and said:

"I have nothing more to say."

There was a brief silence. Emlyn the Moon straightened his back slightly, looked forward and said:

"An important figure from our clan is about to arrive in Backlund and has specifically requested to see me."

He paused for a moment, and when he saw that the other members did not respond, he cleared his throat and said:
“How should I deal with Him?”

"Wow," the personal pronoun caught Alice's attention, "Your blood clan's angel?"

Emlyn nodded proudly.

After a few seconds of thinking, Alger, the Hanged Man, turned his head to look at the Moon and spoke carefully:

"Mr. Fool just said that times have changed.

It has changed. Although the big shots of your blood clan may not know the whole story, based on their level, they should have some awareness of it and be prepared to respond.

"That important person asked to see you. It was both a test and an observation. You just need to behave as you normally do. But there may be some tests and tasks later."

Just as I thought, the second step of the test and mission has arrived. I wonder what revelation the First Ancestor will give me... Emlyn the Moon took the lead and said to the Hanged Man:

"Thank you."

Alice stared at Emlyn the Moon thoughtfully, thinking back to the number of Tarot Club members who could be related to angels or the spirit world, and suddenly smiled:
"In this case, please go back and help me confirm one thing.

“Ask the people around you, does anyone know…

“The place where the long river of destiny lies.”

An angel from the path of "fate" asked others about the location of the long river of fate. This undoubtedly sounded outrageous. The members of the Tarot Club looked at her in astonishment, and Audrey, the "justice", asked directly:

"Miss Destiny, don't you know where the River of Destiny is?"

“How should I put it?” Alice spread her hands. “I have a very close relationship with the River of Destiny. Perhaps I have stepped into it more than once. Moreover, I have slept in it for at least a thousand years…”

Leonard Star showed an expression of undisguised surprise on his face. He just remembered Pallez's question at this moment - how could the child of Night and Fool be on the path of "destiny"?
But Leonard's association was not correct. He thought that the name of the Goddess of Night contained the part of misfortune, while the name of the Fool contained the part of good luck.

Could it be that bad luck and good luck appeared on her at the same time, attracting the attention of fate... ?
Alice didn't quite understand this fantasy. She added the closing remarks under the inquiring or surprised gazes of the crowd:

“But I never knew where the River of Destiny was… I suspected it was somewhere in the spirit world, but I really didn’t know where it was.

"Because every time, it is fate that finds me."

There is no doubt that this fate does not refer to herself. Alice actually prefers to refer to the "Key of Light", but the Tarot Club members subconsciously think that this refers to the true fate, and they all took a breath of cold air.

——It sounds like fate had already chosen the true God for its own path, and then did its best to raise her to the throne of God.

Of course, judging from the surface, there is nothing wrong with this conclusion.

The members of the Tarot Club digested this shocking fact in their hearts, but Alice explained her purpose without any concern:

"Anyway, please ask for me. By the way, you can also ask for a way to preserve the water of the River of Destiny... It would be even better if there is river water directly.

"I need to get some river water."

After a moment of silence, Cattleya the Hermit asked, "You didn't seem to say how much river water you need?"

"Because I don't know how much I need," Alice spread her hands. "It's okay if there is some, right? And I think the water in the long river of fate... may be different from what you think."

Alice's expression gradually became strange as she spoke. She thought of the long river of light she had seen, and told Cattleya the Hermit meaningfully:
“The long river of destiny may not contain water, but light.”

Light……?
The "Hermit" Cattleya was stunned for only a moment, and then she remembered the light she saw on Alice when she used the "Eye of Peering into Secrets" for the first time. She looked over in astonishment and shock, but Alice just blinked at her innocently.

The Hermit Cattleya silently withdrew her gaze and frowned little by little.

Chosen by fate...?
She lowered her eyes and spoke calmly: "...I will go back and ask and look for information."

Others also expressed their opinions, and then the Tarot Club fell silent again.

No one asked Alice about her reward. They knew exactly what they would get - just luck.

As for Leonard... he hadn't thought about the reward at all. After all, he wasn't asking for anything. He just wanted him to ask a question.

Seeing that no one spoke, the "magician" Fors, who had been patient until now, finally spoke:

"Mr. Moon, the information you provided about the abandoned castle is very problematic.

"There are indeed two ancient vengeful spirits there, but there is also a door underground. Behind that door is a powerful corrupt force. Anyone who enters the area where the ancient vengeful spirits are located will be corrupted by it."

This... Emlyn the Moon frowned slightly. He was not angry. Instead, he felt that there was nothing wrong with Miss Magician's statement: since the person who provided the information knew that there were two ancient vengeful spirits there, there was no reason for him to ignore that door!

As a well-educated noble blood, Emlyn never wanted to cause others to suffer losses or injuries due to his own mistakes or negligence. He was quite concerned about this. He thought about it and said solemnly:
"I will investigate the source of the intelligence and give you an explanation."

Magician Fors didn't care too much about it because he had returned safely. He just said "hmm" and said he would wait for the result.

As for Mr. Fool’s help, it happened once or even twice a month, and she couldn’t count it anymore. She just wanted to do whatever Mr. Fool told her to do in the future.

After listening to their conversation, Justice Audrey asked with some concern and curiosity:
"Do you know what brings about the power of corruption?"

Magician Fors shook his head: "I don't know."

Seeing that Mr. Fool did not give any hints, and that she did not currently have Roselle's diary to exchange for the answer to what the "blasphemous card" was, Audrey withdrew her gaze and listened attentively to the conversations of other members.

After a while, the study part was completed and the Tarot Club came to an end. All members stood up and bowed to the top of the long bronze table to say goodbye.

After everyone disappeared from the gray fog, Klein asked Alice:
"Why do you need the water from the River of Destiny? And what do you mean by 'light'?"

Alice had expected him to have doubts and did not hide it. She explained:
"That is the auxiliary material of the 'Prophet' potion. As for why it is light..."

Alice looked up at Klein and spread her hands.
"Like I said, I have seen the river of destiny many times, and the river I saw was not water at all - it was a long river made up of shimmering waves."

Klein was stunned and frowned.

"If that's what you said, then the water in this river must be..."

Can’t serve it?

Alice met Klein's eyes, understood what he hadn't said, and sighed helplessly:

"Yeah, so I plan to ask around first. If it doesn't work, I have a backup plan."

"What?" Klein asked subconsciously.

Alice smiled brightly and answered his question:

“All extraordinary people on the path of ‘destiny’ are trying to get closer to and understand destiny, until they become destiny or control destiny.

"I think that by the time they become angels, Beyonders on the Path of Destiny may already be considered part of the long river of destiny, so...

"Their blood can probably be considered the water of the long river of destiny."

Klein was stunned for only a moment before the answer came to his mind. He blurted out:
"Will Auceptin's blood!"

"That's right," Alice laughed. "The blood of a mythical creature called the 'Mercury Snake' that carries power... I think it can replace the water of the River of Destiny to a certain extent."

After a pause, she looked at Klein and asked again:
“Do you have any good suggestions for the person I’m asking this question?”

After Klein pondered for two seconds, he gave Alice an answer:
“Maybe you can ask Qi Guang… After all, if, as you said, the River of Destiny exists in the spirit world, then Qi Guang, who lives in the spirit world, might have the answer.

"However, you can confirm with Arrodes first... By the way, I have something to ask you about Arrodes."

Klein looked at Alice as if he remembered something and asked seriously:
"Arrodes told me that it saw in me a pillar, a ruler...

"Do you know what this means?"

Alice's expression froze for a moment.

Did she know? She really did.

Isn't the "Lord of Mysteries" one of the three pillars...

Alice stretched out her hand and pinched her brows, and sincerely suggested:

"Maybe you can ask me this question later, but if you're curious now...

"Maybe you can ask Arrodes what he saw in the 'Ancient Sun God'? Well, maybe you have already thought about the question about him. I mean...

"There are five confirmed travelers, so why are there only three broken cocoons of light above Sefirah Castle?"

Klein nodded silently and said hesitantly, "What are those three light cocoons...?"

"Roselle, you, and the goddess." Alice said firmly.

Klein frowned and looked at Alice. Alice spread her hands and said:

"I'm not from 'Source Castle', you already know this. I don't know why the Goddess and Roselle came from the same place as you but had different choices and destinies. As for the 'Ancient Sun God'...

"Don't worry, at least he is not like me, coming directly from another world - at least he is from the past civilization.

"As for more...I can't tell you."

“…Okay,” Klein agreed and pinched his brows. “Then let’s continue talking about your business… How sure are you that Will Auceptin’s blood can replace the water in the River of Destiny?”

"0." Alice answered honestly.

“?” Klein glared at her.

Alice spread her hands and said:

"At least for you, my confidence should be zero. After all, my argument only looks brilliant. If you look closely, you will find that I am just guessing. There is nothing reliable in it.

“But for me…

"As long as the possibility exists, it is 100 percent."

“But you said the possibility is 0…” Klein tried to argue with her.

"It's 0, not non-existent," Alice said confidently, "Anyway, this option has appeared, so it must be possible. And let me correct you, it's just that my certainty is 0, and your certainty is 0. If you ask me... I think there is definitely nothing wrong with my thinking!"

Klein looked at her in surprise and exclaimed, "I now understand why I behaved that way when I picked up the Blasphemy Card from the Wheel of Fortune."

Alice looked at him in confusion, but Klein didn't say anything more. Instead, he asked again:
"Are you really sure that Medici will come to me?"

Alice glanced at Klein and laughed:

"I guess that day won't be too far away. You don't have to think about it so much. If you really miss this man among men, I can also try to see you in real life." (End of this chapter)
