Mystery: Lucky One

Chapter 563 Chapter 141 Angels of Fools

At this time, "Sun" Derrick finally found an opportunity and asked:

"Everyone……"

He glanced at Mr. The Hanged Man and Mr. The World respectively, and continued:
"The ritual for my promotion to 'Priest of Light' is to bury my whole body in pure darkness, in ice that normally won't melt. Well, similar ice is not difficult to obtain in Silver City, but how do I create pure and safe darkness?"

So this is how the promotion ceremony of the "Priest of Light" works. The little "Sun" is really honest and simple... Due to her experience and knowledge, Audrey "Justice" is unable to provide effective suggestions and can only turn her attention to the person who can solve this problem:
Mr. "World" German Sparrow.

Alice blinked. She knew the situation in the City of Silver. The lightless darkness could cause people to disappear or be attacked by monsters. But she couldn't think of a good solution. In other words, the solution she could think of was very simple:
"Have you asked your chief?"

Derrick shook his head.

Klein couldn't think of a good solution for the time being. Or rather, he was not sure whether the solution he had thought of could prevent the common dangers in Silver City. After all, it was easy to create darkness, and the key was to confirm whether the darkness was safe.

Alger, the Hanged Man, said:

"I will help you collect information and find solutions. During this process, you will need to help cooperate and verify whether it is feasible.

"Besides, it is indeed a good idea to consult your chief."

"No problem!" Derrick answered without hesitation.

Then he added, "Don't worry. It will take me more than a month to digest the Notary potion."

The Hanged Man Alger nodded slightly, indicating that this did not need to be reminded.

At this time, Cattleya, the Hermit, considered for a moment, looked at Derrick, the Sun, and said:
“Perhaps you can consider this problem from another angle. Your promotion ceremony will not last too long, and you can solve this problem by increasing the time you survive in pure darkness.

“I remember you mentioned that when you are in the lightless darkness, you will encounter two dangers. One is the attack of strange monsters that appear out of nowhere, and the other is the inexplicable disappearance, which is like evaporation.

"The first one is easy to solve. You can apply to the chief for some seals, or just ask him to protect you. As for the second one, I don't know enough about it. You can try asking the chief."

This was a brand new idea. After thinking about it carefully, Derrick found that it was indeed feasible. In addition, the people who had made suggestions reminded him to ask the chief. Derrick took note of it and said with surprise:

"Thank you, Ms. Hermit!"

After some more communication, Klein felt that the time was about up, so he took the initiative to end the Tarot Club.

Back in the real world, Klein stood up and remembered that Alice had asked him to tutor Leonard. After a moment of silence, he sat back down.

...How to make it round?

He picked up the pen and wrote the letter carefully. It was not difficult to make up for the past knowledge. Out of respect, he did not tell Leonard the real information of other members of the Tarot Club - Alice's status was not that of an ordinary member, and her ignorance seemed suspicious, but there was no need to tell Leonard.

After making up for the lesson, he briefly mentioned a few identities that Alice had almost sold out, such as "Admiral of the Stars" Cattleya and Alger of the Church of Storms. He then introduced "Moon" Emlyn, who had almost sold himself out. Klein had to start thinking about the previous problem.

——What about the story of the fool's angel and the non-existent church?

Klein called Alice over in silence. Alice was obviously gifted at talking nonsense. After listening to Klein's confusion, she spoke:

"While it's a good idea to say 'it's not your place to know', it's not very credible.

“It may be that low-sequence Beyonders would not be so easily suspicious of the Fool’s identity, but behind Leonard, there is an Archangel of the ‘Thief’ pathway. He must be very good at deceiving people.

“And he was able to come up with such nonsense as I am the illegitimate daughter of the Goddess and the Fool. His attitude towards God… In short, I think he dared to guess that the Fool was fake.

"So we'd better make it up more seriously. You can talk about part of it and leave the rest alone. For example, you should not mention the Church of Fools and only mention the angels under the Fool's seat."

Klein nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and then asked, "Then what exactly do you mean?"

Alice hesitated for two seconds and said solemnly:

“There are currently three angels under my Lord’s throne.

“One is the Angel of Destiny. He was born in ancient times and was the incarnation chosen by destiny. However, because he was unwilling to accept this fate, he eventually sank into the long river of destiny. He was awakened from the long river of destiny a few years ago due to the resurrection of my Lord, and therefore he is loyal to my Lord.

"The second is the Angel of Death. He is the offspring of the God of Death and the former Archon of Death. Influenced by the death of the God of Death, he was forced to reincarnate between life and death, enduring pain day after day and year after year. After my Lord helped him alleviate his pain, he chose to pledge allegiance to my Lord.

“The third is the Angel of Punishment, the thunderbolt of the Lord, the whip of the Lord. I don’t know where it came from, but I only know that it punishes all unclean and blasphemous people on behalf of the Lord.

"In addition, there is a saint under my master who is preparing for promotion. In addition, there is a being from the spiritual world who intends to follow my master. To show his sincerity, he even took the initiative to become my messenger..."

"?" Klein showed a blank expression on his face. "The Angel of Destiny is you, the Angel of Death is Mr. Azik, and the Messenger is needless to say. Can you explain who the Angel of Punishment is?"

Alice blinked and said, "'Poseidon's Scepter'! You've used it to kill so many people, and you don't even give it a name?"

Klein opened and closed his mouth several times before he spoke weakly:

"The status of the 'Sea God's Scepter' is only Sequence 3..."

“Ah…” Alice frowned. “Then put it among the saints who are preparing for promotion? Two angels, and an angel who intends to pledge allegiance but is still in the probation period, are not bad for an evil god who is just starting out…”

After a pause, Alice added:
"In fact, if you are not afraid of danger, you can also include Medici. After all, if we round it off, Medici is now your secret doll..."

"You're giving up too much," Klein interrupted her, "and I'm afraid of death."

Alice looked away in disappointment and continued, "You can also write Amon as the son of an old friend. Adam will definitely not bother with you about it." "But Amon will," Klein said expressionlessly, "Also, are you trying to intimidate the angel in Leonard's body?"

Alice spread her hands and said, "Who told Him to say that I was... Damn it, I will tell the goddess about this sooner or later."

Klein did not comment on this. He took the initiative to change the subject: "I'm curious, who is the saint I'm preparing to be promoted to?"

“As for me,” Alice patted her chest, “I’m not only an angel, but also a Sequence 3!”

Klein was stunned. He obviously didn't expect it to be possible to play like this. He said hesitantly:
"According to what you said, I can actually use the puppet to play a few more roles. This way, I will have many saints under my command..."

Alice gave him a look that said, "This kid is teachable."

The corner of Klein's mouth twitched, and he asked sincerely:
"Do I have any other saints?"

"Bernadette must be one, right?" Alice thought for a moment and said, "And then... uh... there shouldn't be any for now?"

"Then I think I'm still quite pitiful," Klein rolled his eyes at Alice. "With your level, I think you can compile a bible for yourself. There's no need to bother looking for someone else."

"That's so cheap!" Alice's eyes widened. "How can a god write a holy book for himself? Shouldn't the doctrine be passed down, and believers compile it into a book based on the doctrine, deeds and myths?"

Klein looked at Alice suspiciously, then asked:
"How do you know this is true? For example, I suspect that the scripture of the Ancient Sun God was written by Him himself, but the rest seems to have been copied from Him..."

When this matter was mentioned, Alice's expression became strange. The corner of her mouth twitched and she looked at Klein. After hesitating for a moment, she reminded him:
"Klein, um...

"You can use the resurrected ancient god now, but it's better not to use it after you become a god... That is, you have to distinguish yourself from the original owner of the castle, do you understand?"

When her expression was no longer playful, Klein realized the importance of the matter. He nodded and said, "I understand."

After a pause, he asked hesitantly:

"I can guess that something went wrong with the 'Ancient Sun God', so...

“Is the reason for His problems actually related to His claiming to be ‘God’?”

"How do you know..." Alice lowered her head and didn't look into Klein's eyes. "Is it the one who calls himself 'God' or Him?"

These words were like a bolt from the blue. Klein recalled the knowledge he had gained when he first became a Beyonder. At that time, he knew that when Beyonders lose control, in addition to turning into monsters and losing their minds, there is also a special situation, that is, they appear to be normal people, but in fact they have completely transformed into another person from their thoughts to their personalities.

He felt a chill down his spine and wanted to say something, but Alice stretched out her hand and made a "hush" gesture.

Klein realized that he couldn't ask because he was not yet an angel.

Seeing him quiet down, Alice forced a smile and said:
“But I’m serious, I really don’t think the scriptures should be written by God himself.

"The core of the teachings is given by God, which should be brief and profound. Then, the believers compile these cores into complete teachings and write scriptures based on the teachings and the deeds of God.

“In this way, if there are any mistakes or omissions, they can be corrected in time. In short, the problem must lie with the people who compiled the doctrines and scriptures, and has nothing to do with God.

"God must be right. If God is wrong, it means that believers have misunderstood God's will."

This theory is actually not new. In modern times, Klein has seen similar theories before, and he has also done this before at the Tarot Club. However, Klein was somewhat surprised that Alice could say such a thing, so he opened his mouth and said:

"How come you seem to be quite skilled at being a god? At least you are much more skilled than you are at being a human."

Alice looked at him expressionlessly. Klein paused for a moment, realizing that this sentence had touched Alice's sensitive minefield. Although Alice seemed to have figured it out and no longer worried about it, it was obvious that she didn't like this joke very much.

Klein smiled awkwardly. Alice rolled her eyes and didn't argue with him. Instead, she continued:
"If you really want to compare, I should be much more skilled at being a god than a human.

"After all, the time I spent as a real human was actually only a few years. Even if you count the time in that dream when I could no longer be considered a complete human, it was only a dozen years.

"This amount of time is not even a fraction of the time I have existed as a god."

Klein opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say. Alice didn't mean to blame him, and her emotional reaction was normal when she said this, but Klein felt a little sorry. He knew that this topic should be heavy for Alice. Even if she had let it go, it didn't mean that this was a good joke.

"I'm sorry." He said to Alice seriously.

Alice blinked. She really didn't expect Klein to apologize. She was surprised but also a little touched. However, she didn't intend to be sentimental at this moment, so she simply and decisively ruined the atmosphere:
"Then can you show me your incomplete mythical creature form? Don't worry, I'm here, you won't lose control because of this!"

Klein was silent for a moment. He realized that what he had done was really unnecessary. Alice always had a way to make people want to jump up and hit her the next moment, so he cursed:
"Get out of here!"

Alice blinked her eyes, then suddenly burst into laughter, and said with some anticipation:

“You know what? It’s a pity that you’re not an angel now, otherwise I could really get out.

“You know, my mythical creature form is a snake, and an Ouroboros… Don’t get me wrong, I can choose not to bite my tail, I just mean that the Ouroboros is a ring in shape, I can really turn into an Ouroboros and get out… Oh wait.

"If it's a snake, it can roll without biting out its tail, right? After all, its body is a cylinder... er, a cone? It's not quite standard, but if you remove the head, it should be considered a cylinder..."

…Why is she really considering this kind of thing seriously?

Klein pinched his brows. He felt that he could not keep up with Alice's train of thought again, so he said sincerely:
"I don't know. After all, I don't have an angel, so I can't see your mythical creature form. But can't you just get out of here in your human form?"

Alice thought for a moment, lowered her head, and under Klein's horrified gaze, she curled up into a ball, rolled off the chair, rolled towards the door, and disappeared halfway.
