Mystery: Lucky One

After Hazel left the Harvest Church, Emlyn and Alice both breathed a sigh of relief.

The reason why Emlyn relaxed was simple. After all, it was finally over, and it was right for him to relax. Unlike Alice, half of the reason she relaxed was because Amon didn't show up.

——She actually didn’t have to be there, but what if Amon came?
How great... Alice glanced at the holy emblem of "Mother Earth", frowned and recalled the prayer gestures of the "Mother Earth" Church, then raised her hand and drew a crimson moon on her chest.

Praise be to you, Mother Earth... I don't know your prayer gestures, would you mind if I drew a goddess? Oh, if you were still alive.

After finishing her prayer in a very ungodly way, Alice stopped reading and left the church, strolling around with a relaxed mood after a big event was finally over.

No matter how big a city is, it can't withstand her wandering for a month, not to mention that she has extraordinary abilities to assist her, so Backlund is nothing new to Alice. But after a while, Alice felt bored and decided to go home and lie down for a while.

She walked to the door of her house in a leisurely manner and opened it. The room was no different from when she left. There were two double sofas on both sides of the coffee table, and someone was sitting on one of them... Wait, wasn't she standing at the door? Why was there someone on the sofa?

...Help, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Alice slammed the door and ran away.

After running about a hundred meters, Alice stopped hesitantly. She found that no one was chasing her.

…Should I still run?
Alice stood there blankly. After hesitating for a moment, she walked back silently and opened the door. The figure on the sofa turned his head, revealing a conspicuous monocle on his right eye.

“I thought you would go to the Church of Night.” He said.

"That's what I thought..." Alice walked over carefully and sat down opposite the monocle, "but you don't look like you're here to cause trouble...I mean, I think if you don't want Hazel to...uh, you should be able to stop her?"

"Why should I stop you?" Amon smiled. "Why should I stop your internal fight in Destiny? If you want to attack that baby snake, what does it have to do with me?"

Baby snake...?
Alice was stunned for a moment before she realized that this was Will Auceptin. She bit her lip for a moment, but her eyebrows and lips curved uncontrollably, and even her shoulders trembled violently.

"Laugh if you want to." Amon glanced at her and said.

Alice then gave up trying to hold back her laughter, and fell on the sofa, laughing:
“Baby snake…Ahahaha, baby snake, puhahaha, you, hahahaha, baby snake, you really are, hahahaha!”

Amon said nothing. He just leaned against the back of the sofa quietly, watching her laugh non-stop. He didn’t help but praise her until he saw her rolling off the sofa with laughter and then getting up from the ground with a dusty face.
"You really are...whatever you want."

Alice didn't mind at all. The "restart" quickly cleared all the dust off her body. The only problem was that she rolled on the ground again - this time in the opposite direction.

When she got up again, Amon had already held his forehead and sighed:

"I really wonder how that baby snake offended fate..."

Alice blinked and said:
"Of course He has offended Fate—He deceived me so badly before!"

Amon paused suspiciously for a moment, and asked in a hesitant and cautious tone:

"Lying to you is like offending fate?"

"Isn't it?" Alice raised her eyebrows.

"Then it looks like I'm done for," Amon smiled brightly, "I'm dead."

Alice was choked and unable to speak. She glared at Amon fiercely, then frowned and asked:
"What do you mean by 'fate' internal fighting? Why did I attack the snake... and Will Auceptin?"

"You want to abort His mother..." Amon answered slowly, "How come you are not doing it to Him?"

"How could this possibly hurt Him?" Alice opened her eyes wide. "Even if there is an impact, it should be negligible!"

“How could that be?” Amon smiled and shook his head. “No matter how powerful he is, he is still a child in his mother’s belly. If his mother insists on having an abortion, what can he do?”

Alice was slightly startled, and Amon approached her and said:

"Little Alice, you almost... killed Him~"

"How is that possible!" Alice blurted out, "Did you do it?"

"Tsk," Amon leaned back, "Your reactions are really consistent... According to the memories shared by the main body, when the snake baby heard about this, he also questioned if it was 'me' who did it~"

Alice choked and glared at Amon, "So it's you after all!"

"Of course not," Amon smiled and stood up, "I said, this is your internal fight in Destiny, what does it have to do with me?"

Alice opened her mouth to speak, but Amon leaned over and approached her, saying in a friendly tone:
"Little Alice, there are some things that cannot be said openly~"

Alice was slightly startled, Amon stretched out his hand and hooked it lightly, and the figure disappeared immediately.

Alice froze for a moment, then subconsciously touched her body, and found a bunch of random herbs and coins of varying denominations, in addition to that...

...?
Why is there only one "Rose Oath"? !
Alice was stunned for a moment, and realized that what Amon stole this time was one of the "Rose Oaths".

——This is a big problem.

Alice threw away the ring, which was like a hot potato, and stepped back in horror. The ring rolled twice on the ground and then stopped. The blue gem was facing her, crystal clear.

Alice swallowed her saliva, hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward to pick up the ring and tentatively shouted to it:
"Hello? Amon? Can you hear me?"

No one paid any attention to her. Alice thought for a moment, put the ring on her finger, and called out again:

"Amon Amon? Can you hear me?"

Still no one paid any attention to her.

Alice pulled off the ring and threw it on the coffee table, staring at it expressionlessly without saying a word.

……

"So, this is why you came to see me?" Above the gray fog, Klein listened to Alice's statement and looked at her in amazement. "What do you want me to do? Do you expect me to help you get the ring back from Amon?"

"Then I might as well hope that Amon will propose to you with the ring..." Alice rolled her eyes, "I am... Oh, I know it's probably a habit for Him to take things with him, but this ring, it's a couple's ring, who dares to use the other one! What should I do now?"

Klein asked tentatively, "How about... the church?"

"That's not a good idea..." Alice shook her head with a bitter face, "Unless I put it in the Goddess's kingdom, it will be a sitting duck wherever I put it... Guess why I don't just send it here?"

"Why isn't the kingdom of God where the goddess was released a sitting duck?" Klein looked puzzled.

Alice glanced at Klein and said sincerely:
“Do you think Amon can beat the goddess?
“Although He has the title of ‘Blasphemer’, if He can really defeat the true God, why doesn’t He go out and challenge ‘Lord of Storms’, ‘God of Knowledge and Wisdom’, and ‘Eternal Blazing Sun’? After all, I think He should hate them deeply…” That’s true… Klein accepted Alice’s statement and then asked her:

"Since you think Amon took the ring out of habit, why don't you ask Him? He probably won't care..."

"I won't return it," Alice curled her lips, "or the things they return might have big problems... Anyway, I don't dare to take it."

This reputation is really low... Klein looked at Alice with a complicated expression and immediately suggested:
"Then why don't you just give the remaining ring to Amon as well?"

"Why?" Alice slammed the table.

“Then I can’t do anything about it.” Klein gave an expression that said “you decide.”

Alice choked and looked at Klein with wide eyes. Klein looked at her helplessly and said:

"You don't really expect me to get it back for you, do you?"

Alice sneered and said:

"of course not.

"I think your suggestion is very good. I will give the other ring to Amon when I return and tell him that this is the wedding gift I prepared for him. He can use this ring to propose to the Fool."

“?” Klein glared at her. “Are you sick? What good will this do for you?”

"It can disgust both of you at the same time." Alice said calmly.

Klein took a breath and praised Alice sincerely:

"You're right. I'm already disgusted now."

Alice sneered, left the gray fog, and wrote a letter to Amon:

"

The future wife of the Lord of Mysteries:
Hello.

It is an honor to contact you in this way. I have heard the good news about you and the Lord of Mysteries, and I would like to send you a wedding gift.

As you can see, this is a pair of rings named Rose Oath. Of course, you can also change their names if you need.

You had the foresight to take the other ring from me, I hope you still have it. I mean, these are the wedding rings I carefully selected - they couldn't be more suitable.

You should have discovered that this pair of rings is actually a set of magical items. It can allow the two people holding the rings to communicate with each other. I don't need to explain this ability, right? Whether you want to contact each other, or just want to relieve your longing, or you don't trust the great Lord of Mysteries and have doubts about His loyalty...

There is no better choice than this!
And the side effects? They are minimal, except that when you wear the ring for a week, you two will fall in love with each other, which is nothing if you are already in love with each other.

There is no better wedding ring for you!

Kind Alice
"

After writing the letter, with the intention of disgusting two people at the same time, Alice stuffed the letter and another ring into an envelope and gave it to Amon with a ceremony.

Then she fell on the chair, looked up at the sky, and said to herself:
“Some things cannot be said openly…

"What are you talking about...well, do you want me to admit that this is an internal fight between Will Auceptin and me and has nothing to do with you?
"But why...hiss, I feel like I'm going to have to grow a brain if this continues...

"But, that being said...

"That abortion pill, did it really almost kill Will Auceptin? An archangel? Ha, I'm going to tell 'Moon' about this, tell that vampire... I'm sure his expression will be hilarious!"

Alice covered her mouth and laughed, with a dark gleam of excitement in her eyes.

……

"A ring...?" Amon played with the ring in his hand with a strange expression.

As Alice said, taking something away was just a habit, and most of the things he stole were not very noticeable - at least not noticeable in his eyes.

The "Rose Oath" is such an existence. Amon quickly figured out the function of this ring. When he realized that it was one of a pair of rings, he lost most of his interest in it, put it away and ignored it.

——Until the main body gets the letter.

After opening the envelope and reading Alice's affected words, Amon reached out to pinch the monocle on his right eye. After it spun several times and the deep vortex completely covered his eyes, he stopped, let go of his hand and muttered to himself:

"found it……"

——At this moment, He was holding a silver ring inlaid with a sapphire in His hand.

"Rose Oath..." Amon curled his lips and took out another ring, putting the two together, "Wedding ring? The future wife of the Lord of Mysteries? Ha."

He sneered, and the ring shattered in his hand in an instant. The powder flew away with the wind, leaving only a few specks of light, which gathered and formed again in his hand, turning into a crystal clear gem.

……

At the next Tarot meeting, after all the necessary exchanges were completed, Alice, who had been holding back for a long time, finally smiled and praised Emlyn, the Moon:
"Mr. Moon, you know you created a miracle!"

"What...?" Emlyn didn't understand.

Alice continued to praise him calmly, "Your potion severely injured a Sequence 1 Archangel and almost killed him!"

This was a thunderous sound. All the members of the Tarot Club looked at Emlyn the Moon. Even Klein couldn't hold back—even though he knew that 120% of Alice's words were nonsense and 20% were true!
Negative 20%, it is also 20%...

Compared to Emlyn who was stunned by the news, most of the bystanders were much calmer. For example, Alger, the "Hanged Man", the first thought that came to his mind was worry:
"Miss Destiny, from what you said, this archangel... is not dead?"

Being in the church, Alger was not like a wild Beyonder. He had a certain understanding of the power of the angels on earth. For mid-sequence angels like him and Emlyn, even if they only had one breath left, they could use that last breath to blow them to death!

In other words, Alger felt that if this was true, then Emlyn...

It's over. (End of this chapter)
