Mystery: Lucky One

Just a saint... Casimi stopped talking. He concentrated on walking in front and leading the way. After the coffin where Duke Olmer was sleeping appeared, he said goodbye and left, leaving the space for the two people.

Mistral stepped forward, bowed, and told the truth about what had happened. The room was silent for a while, and then Duke Olmer's voice sounded again:
"It does match the character in the rumors, but... why did he mention the ancestor's name?"

"...I don't know," Mistral said in a deep voice, "but He seems to have some understanding of the vampires. For example, He knows about the Embrace Ritual. And His words, you say..."

After a pause, Mistral asked carefully: "Will He know the ancestor? But the identity of the ancestor cannot be confirmed yet..."

"There are already five of them including him..." Duke Olmer said calmly, "Maybe it's just a group with common characteristics. Some deeds of the ancestor made him suspect that the ancestor was also a member of this group."

“Related to the Embrace?” Mistral frowned.

They all fell silent. After a moment, Olmer said:

“Keep keeping an eye on Emlyn… There’s no need to change your plan for now.

"Look for people wearing the Rose Oath, but don't do anything to them."

"Yes." Mistral replied with his head down.

……

After sending away the biggest variable of this operation, everything really went smoothly. Ernes Boyar had a smooth journey and went straight to the Harvest Church. After seeing Father Utravsky, he blurted out:

“I’ll come here to volunteer for a month!”

At this moment, Alice was still staring at Father Utravsky's figure and swallowing her saliva.

This was Alice's first time stepping into the Harvest Church, and naturally her first time meeting this priest who gave her a sense of security. Seeing Utravsky kindly respond to Ernes's words, Alice only felt a strong sense of disobedience.

I think Frank might be a more suitable person to be the priest... well, he looks more suitable.

Thinking of Frank's chaotic experimental results, Alice's expression twisted for a moment. She lowered her head and told a joke to herself:

"As long as I can get all his experimental results, I should be able to complete the role of 'Chaos Walker'...ha."

Alice shook her head and sent the first congratulatory message to Emlyn, who was feeling very proud:
"I want that 'Rose Vow' ring."

No one would refuse such a trivial request from Alice. Emlyn was about to hand over the spoils directly, but Alice seemed to have remembered something and added:

"Give it to me when the spoils are divided... No, give it to me when the spoils are divided."

……

At 11 o'clock in the evening, all the participants of this operation, including Alice, appeared above the gray fog. Alice looked at Emlyn the Moon and gave him the opportunity to make the opening remarks.

"Here are all the spoils of war," Emlyn said without hesitation, and took out the silver ring inlaid with a blue gemstone. "Miss Fate asked for this ring..."

"It's called 'Rose Oath'," Alice interrupted, "It's a pair of rings. I asked a demigod of your blood race for the other one. This pair of rings allows the wearers to share senses and transmit thoughts within the scope of an ordinary city, but after wearing them for a week, they will fall in love with each other... They are very suitable as wedding rings."

Wedding rings…whose wedding?
Leonard "Star" reacted. He looked at Alice, who blinked and said:
“This is a belated gift.”

A belated gift... Leonard's expression was touched. He was sure that this was for the captain and Ms. Daly.

They stopped talking, and the others agreed to this matter. Emlyn then introduced other items, explaining their positive and negative effects one by one, and also explained their origins and extensions - this knowledge partly came from his interest in the history of the blood clan, and partly from Ernes Boyar's explanation under the watchful eyes of Father Utravsky.

Alice recalled Emlyn's love for the history of the vampires. She covered her forehead with her hands, regretting a little for letting Emlyn leave this head. She gritted her teeth and interrupted:
“Although your Mr. Fool is very interested in history, this is probably not the kind of history he’s interested in… I mean, if you keep talking, Mr. Fool might not just listen.”

The voice of Emlyn the Moon suddenly stopped, and the expressions of the others were not much better. Alger the Hanged Man asked cautiously:

"Miss Fate, Mr. Fool...are you listening?"

Alice rolled her eyes and said:
"Where do you think this is?!

"In the kingdom of the Lord, the Lord is omniscient and omnipotent! Nothing that happens here escapes Mr. Fool's eyes!"

Because he is hiding in the dark and peeping, and at least for him now, if he is not up there, you can't get up there either... However, except for not being able to let me eat up there, he is very close to being omniscient and omnipotent here... So, what should my kingdom of God be like?
Alice stopped talking. She frowned and pondered her new problem. Emlyn also quieted down and shrank into a quail. After Alger, the Hanged Man, congratulated himself for being cautious, he took the initiative to talk about business:

"Have you met with the top leaders of the Blood Clan? Has the matter of hunting down important members of the Rose School been finalized?"

Emlyn breathed a sigh of relief. With his trust in Mr. The Hanged Man, he took up the topic without hesitation. Without hiding anything, he explained everything clearly:
"It has been tentatively finalized, and we have also contacted the temperance member, but he hopes that the action will not be advanced until after September."

At the same time, he looked expectant, waiting for the usual guidance from the Hanged Man Alger.

Sure enough, Alger nodded and said:
“We have to wait until after September?
"This means that they are waiting for something that will have a great impact on them..."

Klein, who was waiting at the other side of the ancient palace and pretending that Mr. Fool was not there, was moved when he heard this. He suspected that this was related to Miss Sharon's promotion.

According to Miss Sharon, she can try the demigod ritual in July... Could it be that this ritual will last for at least a month before it ends? If that's true, it's different from other methods... Klein had some guesses, but he wasn't sure.

"It's possible." Emlyn the Moon agreed with Mr. The Hanged Man after a brief pause.

Then, he took the initiative to say to the others: "You can start choosing now."

"Justice" Audrey chose the spoils out of politeness, and "Star" Leonard was similar. They were all very calm and sober about the spoils "given" by the vampire viscount. No one spoke first, and they all politely waited for others to choose first.

Judge Xio looked to the right, then across, and saw that everyone was being modest. The only person who wasn't modest was Alice, who had taken the ring in advance. So he took the initiative to break the silence:

"My part is simple, and I don't have to take too much risk. Besides, Mr. Moon has paid me 60 pounds in advance. I just want the cash in this wallet."

As she spoke, she took the handmade wallet, pulled out the bills inside, counted them quickly and said:

"335 pounds." Alice watched the banknotes leave with reluctance. Emlyn the Moon looked around and saw that no one objected. He nodded and said,
"it is good."

As for the handmade wallet, "Judgment" Hugh threw it back into the center of the table and gave it back to Mr. "Moon" to deal with.

With Hugh taking the lead, Leonard the Star took the initiative to signal Audrey the Justice:
"Lady first."

Alice blinked, and just as Miss Justice was about to reach out her hand, she suddenly spoke:

“My impression of psychologists is that they are sometimes very strange… I mean, sometimes they can hypnotize themselves and think of themselves as another person, or even split themselves into different personalities.

"If Miss Justice splits off a male personality and sits here, will the rule of ladies first still apply? It's like, if one day in the future I become a man..."

Leonard paused. For the first time, he felt the reality of what Alice had said about angels. He replied in a frozen tone:
"I'm sorry, I haven't encountered anything like this before, so I can't give you an answer for now."

Alice said "Oh" and stopped talking.

Audrey Justice's eyes lit up and she asked curiously:
"Ms. Destiny, what you just described is the ability I will gain in the future!"

"I didn't tell you," Alice winked, "but I can tell you a little."

Audrey's eyes were filled with anticipation. Alice rested her hand on her chin and smiled.
"The 'Dreamer' is the 'Creator' among the 'Omniscient and Omnipotent Creators'."

Creator... Audrey's heart was stirred. She felt that these two abilities were in line with her imagination of a powerful Extraordinary Being. She couldn't help but feel excited and expectant.

She did not forget the current occasion. Considering that Mr. Fool was still watching here, Audrey did not waste time. She quickly calmed herself down and pointed to the diamond tie pin.

"I choose it."

She had just heard Mr. "Moon" mention it, and knew that it was called "Alcohol Killer", which could keep the wearer energetic and clear-minded, and effectively fight against mental influences.

This is exactly what Audrey needs. She has to deal with the Psychological Alchemy Society from time to time. This can effectively help her guard against hypnosis. Even the luxurious appearance is in line with her identity and will not arouse suspicion. In addition, as long as she takes off her collar pin on a regular basis, she does not need to worry about side effects.

After she finished her selection, Emlyn the Moon did not give Leonard the opportunity to speak, and said directly:

"This 'Moon Ribbon' belongs to me, and you take the 'Moon Paper Man'."

This was Emlyn's plan from the beginning. If we ignore the side effects, the effect of the "Moon Ribbon" is tailor-made for "vampires". But Alice has something to say about the side effects:
"That belt... Be careful of Beyonders or magical items with the power of the Destiny Domain."

Emlyn was slightly stunned, his eyes confused. Alice glanced at him with a half-smile and said:

"My perception is sharper, I can see things I shouldn't see, hear things I shouldn't hear... It's a side effect tailor-made for the 'Destiny' path.

"After all, we have been screening people in this way since Sequence 9. All the Beyonders who were unlucky died for this reason. That's why our Sequence 7 is called 'Lucky Ones' because all the unlucky ones died!"

Emlyn swallowed his saliva, his eyes showing fear. "Star" Leonard was terrified after hearing this, and hurriedly took the "Moon Paper Man" for fear that Emlyn would change his mind.

However, the old man should have a way to deal with the side effects... If not, Alice should not mind helping me?
Thinking of this, Leonard felt inexplicably regretful.

Sequence 7 is called “The Lucky Ones” because the unlucky ones are all dead... Miss Fate, your understanding is still as unique as ever!

Audrey the Justice and Alger the Hanged Man looked at each other, then looked away at the same time. Alger the Hanged Man looked at the empty table and asked:

"So, what about my reward?"

Emlyn the Moon's expression turned even uglier. Even though the side effects of the Moon Ribbon sounded full of malicious randomness, it did not change the fact that this was the most expensive piece of loot. He had no choice but to speak with difficulty:

"I will give you an extra reward, probably..."

Emlyn gritted his teeth and spat out a number that made him feel painful:

"1000 pounds."

"Okay." Alger, the Hanged Man, nodded steadily and said no more.

"I will also pay for the compensation to the driver," Emlyn said through gritted teeth, "Also, Miss Destiny..."

He looked at Alice with a pleading look. After a moment's silence, Alice curled her lips and said:
"I can help you solve this problem, but...

"I want you to find a way to make... make that lady drink the potion as soon as possible... Tsk, there's no way I'm done with her."

Thinking of Hazel who was reluctant to take the medicine to have an abortion, Alice smacked her lips in dissatisfaction - she just wanted this matter to be over quickly.

This request made Emlyn relax. He did not think it was an embarrassing request and said excitedly:
"I will definitely finish it as soon as possible!"

Seeing this, "Justice" Audrey couldn't help but interrupt:

"Ms. Fate, I'm afraid Mr. 'Moon''s identity makes it difficult for him to meet... uh, your friends."

"She's not my friend," Alice responded quickly, "but the priest of the Harvest Church is indeed not suitable..."

Emlyn hesitated to speak.

Alice glanced at him, looked him up and down, and murmured:
"However, you vampires are all very good-looking, and you are the kind of beautiful in a delicate way. As extraordinary beings, your physical fitness is not too bad... I mean, maybe Mr. Moon can use this to... uh, use this to make a class leap?"

Justice Audrey opened her eyes wide in confusion, Judgment Quinn looked at them with a puzzled look, The Hanged Man Alger put his hand on his forehead, and the Moon Emlyn looked innocent:

"What class leap?"

No one spoke. In the silence, Klein let his voice echo in the layers of gray fog:
"Destiny." (End of this chapter)
