Mystery: Lucky One

I have pretended...No objection...

Leonard felt like his head was going to smoke. He was not Audrey, and had never seen Alice gossiping about the Seven Gods. Although he was impressed by Alice's courage, this was his first time experiencing a live version, and it happened once and a half in a row.

Well, the Goddess's Son heard it from Alice, so it counts as half time.

The atmosphere fell silent amid Leonard's shock. Klein didn't want to waste any more time, so he spoke up and analyzed:
"Well...it seems that the Church of Evernight appeared earlier than historical records show, and can be traced back to long before the Cataclysm, but at that time it existed in the form of a secret organization."

Leonard then shifted his attention from Alice to Klein. He remembered another key piece of information in Alice's words.

...The evil god's favored one?
This evil god... is he also referring to the goddess?

This wasn't just a guess. There were too many suspicious points about Klein. Although Alice could be used as a shield for many things, but...

He saw his colleague being buried with his own eyes!

The fact that he was able to come back from the dead must be due to Klein’s own special… Wait, coming back from the dead?
Leonard's mind moved. He recalled the earliest incident that happened to Klein. At that time, among the three people involved in Antigonus's notes, only Klein did not commit suicide for some unknown reason...

...Maybe he committed suicide and just came back to life?
Leonard had a lot of questions to ask, but with Audrey in front of him, it was not a suitable occasion to speak. Moreover, he knew that there was a high probability that he would not get an answer even if he asked some questions, so he just smiled and continued:

"From what Alice said, you are the goddess's favorite... If even you don't know, I'm afraid no one here knows... Oh, Alice, do you know?"

"A little bit," Alice rubbed her thumb and index finger together and gestured, "After all, at that time, I was with the goddess..."

She didn’t deny it…wait, what does it mean to be with a goddess?
Leonard looked at Alice in surprise. Alice frowned slightly and explained:
"Well... I basically have no memory of being with the goddess, but when I met the goddess, she probably wasn't a true god yet..."

Then, without waiting for anyone else to react, she told Audrey, "Continue."

Audrey realized that this meant he didn't want to talk more, so she didn't resist and continued to guide Snowman's dream.

After all, it was only Sequence 5, and there was not much valuable information in Snowman's dream. After digging out almost all the memories that could be dug out, Audrey spoke:

"There shouldn't be anything left."

Klein took a look and said, "Let's go to the next place."

So they left Snowman's dream and walked in the snow. After tasting a snowflake, Alice began to look at him with a look that made Klein's back shiver, but every time Klein looked over, she turned her head away.

Klein had no choice but to walk all the way to a house. He walked in as if no one was around and saw a couple lying on the bed.

The woman in the middle had a pair of pointed ears. She was lying on top of another man with her hands and feet, hugging him tightly. Alice took one look and backed away. Klein held her down and said to Audrey and Leonard:

"let's start."

Then he tried to comfort Alice: "They are in their pajamas, and they are not doing anything..."

Alice stood up and looked at the two people who were already asleep and explained:

"I just think it's not polite... Never mind, trespassing and hypnotizing others are not polite either."

As she said this, she consciously entered a new dream.

She knew the names of the couple. Klein had introduced them on the way here. The female elf was named Siatas, who came from the Second Age and had served the Elf Queen. The male human was named Mobet, a descendant of the Zoroastrian family.

In the dream at this moment, Mobet was pouring liquor one after another at the bar. Leonard said after confirming:

"I'll do it this time."

Audrey had no objection, and Klein certainly had no objection either. Alice looked at Klein eagerly. Klein was silent for two seconds before speaking:

"Forget it, it's just a dream...don't mess with it."

Alice's eyes lit up, and she turned to look over. Leonard had already finished the initial chat and was introducing himself to Mobet:

"Let me introduce myself. I am a student of Pales Zoroast."

After listening to Leonard's self-introduction, Mobet finally turned his head, looked him up and down, and said with a "huh":

"student?
"Is it the object of parasitism?"

Leonard's expression froze instantly. Alice blinked, put on a pair of monocles on her right eye, stepped forward, and said with a smile:

"Hmm... No, he is indeed a student, but not Pales's student... He is mine.

"Hello, little one?"

"......?" Mobet's movements froze visibly. He stared at the monocle on Alice's right eye, not daring to speak.

"What? Don't you recognize me?" Alice blinked, bent down curiously, condensed a new monocle in her hand, and handed it to Mobet.

"Amon!" Mobet screamed.

Leonard completely stepped back at this moment. Although he didn't know what happened, he chose to give the home court to Alice.

"That's right!" Alice smiled and clapped for him, "It's a pity there's no reward~"

"You, you..." Mobet's body trembled with fear, and the dream began to tremble with him, and there were signs of it breaking.

Seeing this, Klein called out, "Alice."

Alice paused for a moment, then took off her monocle and cursed with bared teeth:
"coward!"

This made Mobet feel relieved. He panted and said, "You, you are not the ancestor of the Amon family..."

The dream stopped shaking and seemed to have stabilized. Alice looked around and raised her eyebrows and said:
"Ancestor?"

"Yeah, don't you know? You should know..." Mobet's eyes were confused, "The Amon family has a very terrifying ancestor..."

"Wait," Alice interrupted him, "I think you have a misunderstanding about Amon... Do you know that there is only one person in the Amon family from beginning to end?"

"...Ah?" Mobet looked confused.

"Want to know?" Alice raised her eyebrows.

Mobet nodded subconsciously, so Alice pulled Leonard out and asked:

"It's your turn!"

Then, she turned to Mobet's confused eyes and told him:

"He is indeed the parasite of Pallez. As for me, I am actually Ouroboros..." "?" Mobet's expression looked a little numb. "Although I don't know who you are, you definitely can't be Lord Ouroboros!"

"Why?" Alice looked at him in confusion, "Also, why aren't you worried about me being Amon?"

"You didn't parasitize me," Mobet pointed out the most critical issue, "As for Lord Ouroboros... um..."

He looked Alice over, shook his head and said, "Lord Ouroboros is not as lively as you, and he would not do something like impersonating Amon."

"Well," Alice sighed, "I am actually a friend of Ouroboros. I am willing to sacrifice my life for him."

...Does this mean you'll kill each other?

The corner of Klein's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but feel fortunate that under the influence of Audrey's ability, Mobet wouldn't notice them.

But Leonard was not so lucky. When Klein was tutoring him, he briefly mentioned the relationship between Alice and the other two angels of "fate" and warned him to be careful if he met them. Therefore, Leonard had some impression of this incident and had complicated emotions about the phrase "surrender your life".

This complexity was reflected on his face. Mobet, who had been deceived again and again, already lacked trust in Alice. Now he said:
"Your Highness, may I ask what makes you so interested in me?"

Alice choked as she realized that Mobet had regarded her as an angel from her repeated impersonations - after all, it was a bit of a death wish for someone who was not an angel to impersonate other angels like this.

She even pretended to be the Angel King...

After a moment of silence, Alice said bluntly: "I just wanted to ask you something, but... I'm used to it. Sorry."

Mobet seemed to accept this well. He nodded and said:

"I see...what do you want to ask?"

Alice hesitated for a moment and then asked, "Don't you think I'm weird?"

Mobet shook his head and said:

"Who among the noble families of Solomon doesn't have an angel? Therefore, we all know that the higher the sequence, the more severe the madness. In order to suppress madness, angels often have different expressions to the outside world. Some are cold, some are irritable, and some are indifferent...

"Anyway, someone like you is relatively normal."

Well, well, I can actually still be considered a normal person... Alice's mouth twitched, and then continued:
"As you said, my friend is the one that Pales is parasitizing... He has something to ask you about Pales and the Solomon Empire."

Mobet then looked at Leonard again, and Leonard asked the questions he wanted to know one by one. Alice interjected a few words from time to time, such as about the Zaratul family, the Abraham family, Bethel Abraham himself, and the earthly kingdom of the six gods at that time.

When she heard that the believers of the "True Creator" liked to smoke, she recalled her guess about the Creator and asked if they liked to drink, especially strong liquor.

Leonard also inquired about the appearances of many high-ranking people. At first, when Leonard asked Mobet to take out the portrait of Pales Zoroast from his side, Alice did not notice anything unusual and even looked at Pales' appearance, until...

"Did you bring the portrait of Ouroboros?"

"Of course not! How could I possibly carry a portrait of Ouroboros with me?"

"Isn't that the one behind you?"

"..."

"Did you bring the Medici portrait?"

"Of course not! I'm not looking for anyone, so how could I possibly carry a portrait with me?"

"Isn't that what it is?"

"..."

"You brought ..."

Alice swore that she had never praised the "machine" so devoutly.

When Mobet's dream was finally emptied, they entered Siatas's dream again. The elf singer was standing in the garden, holding her stomach and frowning at Mobet:
"Can you steal the fetus from my belly and put it into your body?"

"Of course I can, but even if it's inserted into my body, I won't be able to conceive him." Mobet replied with a look of fear on his face.

Siatas thought about it seriously and said, "What about stealing the corresponding organs as well?"

"...If it's just stealing, it might be possible to succeed, but as for the follow-up, the follow-up, I have no way to do it. This is beyond my ability..." Mobet said tremblingly.

The conversation between the man and the elf made Klein, Leonard, and Audrey all look dazed. Klein turned around and said:

"I remember, Amon, is he..."

"He stole Hazel's child, but Hazel continued to complete the pregnancy process." Alice said expressionlessly.

The four of them looked at each other, and finally Audrey broke the silence:

"...Can I do it this time?"

After hearing Miss Justice's suggestion, Klein thought for a moment and said:
"The dream is guided by the history of the Second Age, the Elf Queen 'Queen of Natural Disaster' Cosinamu, the living habits and the most ancient language of the elves, and the legendary Western Continent."

Language... Alice glanced at Klein and said nothing.

Klein told her what he saw when he was divining the cross. Alice was also a little curious about that original language. However, she actually wanted to know...

Have the elves from the Western Continent ever seen hieroglyphics? If so, why are all the languages ​​left today alphabetic? If not...

What is the scene in the Western Continent like?

The dream changed rapidly under Audrey's guidance and eventually turned into a coral palace.

Every detail of this palace is extremely gorgeous, and the whole palace is tall and magnificent. However, because it is located under layers of blue sea, the sky is not visible at all, and it appears dark and gloomy.

Inside, huge coral pillars support the exaggerated dome, and the walls and ceilings are covered with murals depicting the horror of storms.

On these murals and corals, silvery-white electric lights moved around along certain trajectories as if they had life, and finally gathered on the nine-story steps inlaid with pearls, diamonds, emeralds and sapphires.

Siatas was standing here, with several elves opposite and beside her.

On the nine steps, there were two huge chairs that seemed to be made of pure electric light. One occupied the most central position, like the master of this palace and this world, and the other was on its left, not so conspicuous.

No introduction was needed, they all looked at the elves sitting on the two chairs. There was no doubt that they were the Elf King Sonyatholem and the Elf Queen Goshinam.
