Mystery: Big Alarm Clock Ghroth Path

Chapter 84 Traveler Dice

"To be honest, my ancestors were once students of the Abraham family."

Roger said this without changing his expression or heartbeat.

The Abraham family has many branches of the "apprentice" training path. Just for the Aurora Society, the more well-known ones include "The Secret Saint" and "Mr. X".

One of them is a Sequence 4 "Mystic" and the other is a Sequence 5 "Traveler".

But on the other hand, both of them betrayed the Abraham family one after another, and because of this relationship, Roger also had some grievances with them.

Fortunately, Roger was a little-known junior in the Abraham family, so neither the "Secret Saint" nor "Mr. X" had ever seen him.

Roger did not intend to reveal his true identity so soon. At this stage, his main goal was to fleece the Aurora Society as much as possible. It would not be too late to deal with those old grudges after he possessed the strength of a saint.

"I see."

The Dark Saint, Kesma, nodded. "Do you have any other requests for the magical item you're about to create?"

"Just ensure the transmission capability is reliable, nothing else is required," Roger replied.

"No problem. Just leave this thing here, and I'll have someone make it for you before you return to Tingen."

Xesma agreed readily.

"Then I'm sorry to trouble you."

Roger thanked him again and bowed, then he left the stone hexagon and returned to the Minston Inn.

After entering, Roger glanced at Bandit, who was soundly sleeping on the bed, and set up a simple altar again. He informed Mr. Fool above the gray fog that he had killed Qilingos.

After doing all this, Roger had a simple midnight snack, washed up, and fell asleep.

……

The next afternoon, Roger, who had just returned from a trip to the Tussock River, received a package addressed to him at the front desk.

After doing a simple divination to confirm that there was no danger, Roger took it back to the guest room and opened it, and found a small silver box and a note inside.

The note was left by Xesma, saying that he would be leaving Backlund temporarily, and that the things Roger wanted had been prepared and were in the silver box.

Roger opened it with anticipation and found a white six-sided bone dice inside.

Five sides of the six-sided dice were marked with numbers 1 to 5 in ancient Hermetic language, while the other side was blank.

"Traveler's dice..."

Roger looked again at the note describing how to use the dice.

"Use specific rituals in five locations to create a contract with the 'Traveler Dice'...

“Ritual Description…

“After the contract is signed, you can be teleported to the corresponding random area by rolling the dice.

"The sixth side represents a random location in the spirit world. It may be dangerous, but the holder can return to the real world by rolling the dice again...

"If you can't retrieve the dice, you'll need to leave the spirit world through other means..."

Roger nodded as he looked at it. He thought the price was acceptable.

But when he saw the last one, he was slightly surprised.

"If I throw the sixth side in a row, will there be a risk of being completely lost in the spirit world?"

This means that if Roger rolls the sixth side, which symbolizes nothingness, two or even three times in a row, he will most likely never be able to return to the real world.

"The probability of throwing the sixth side twice in a row is really not low." Roger, who has a deep understanding of fate, knows clearly that in the world of mysticism, there are countless factors that can affect the results of rolling the dice.

In other words, if he "deserve" or someone in a higher position wants him to be lost in the spirit world, then this is very likely to happen!

"It seems like every time I use this thing from now on, I'd better create a spiritual wall and do some divination... Although there's a chance of failure, it's better than just charging straight into it."

In fact, this is what a Sequence 5 Beyonder Item should look like... At least compared to the evil gloves "Creeping Hunger" that eclipse the day by day, and the strange sealed item codenamed "2-049" that can turn people into puppets, the negative effects of the "Traveler's Dice" are already very low.

In this regard, Roger guessed that this should be the compensation that the "craftsmen" of the Aurora Society received for giving up other "traveler" abilities and retaining only the teleportation ability.

"No matter what, with this thing, at least I can buy fewer train tickets."

He was very satisfied.

……

Early Monday morning, Roger took the steam train back to Tingen City, had lunch before 3 p.m., and sat in the underground storage room.

As the rust-colored starlight burst out, Roger appeared above the gray fog again.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool."

"Justice" Audrey saluted briskly, as did "The Hanged Man" Alger and "Wheel of Fortune" Roger.

This time, even Derrick Berg, the "Sun" who had just joined the Tarot Club, was much more experienced, and his salute was not at all slow or sloppy.

Klein the Fool nodded slightly, then spoke in a flat voice:
"The 'Wind-Blessed One' is dead. It was the 'Wheel of Fate' that killed him."

Alger, the Hanged Man, naturally knew about this matter a long time ago. He sighed sincerely:
"Mr. Wheel of Fortune is truly a powerful Beyonder. I will always remember your kindness."

With the Beyonder trait of "Wind-loving One", Alger no longer had to bet all his chips on the Church of the Lord of Storms.

Even if he still gets the opportunity to be promoted in the end, the extraordinary characteristics given to him by Roger can also help him build his own power.

All in all, Alger was now prepared for both scenarios and felt very reassured!
And all of this is thanks to Mr. "Wheel of Fortune".

Of course, Alger didn't forget to turn around and thank Klein, who was sitting at the head of the long bronze table.

"Praise you, Mr. Fool!"

At this moment, he had already tacitly accepted that the Wheel of Fortune was favored by Mr. Fool, so he also had to thank the master of the Tarot Club.

"It turns out that Mr. Wheel of Fortune eliminated Vice Admiral Hurricane Qilingos..."

At this time, "Justice" Audrey finally confirmed this. She also sincerely thanked Roger and expressed her willingness to share the benefits with the latter.

Because she was the first person to discover Baron Gramiel's abnormality and find out Qilingos.

This action not only saved Duke Negan's life, but also helped the authorities get rid of Vice Admiral Hurricane.

Many people can testify to this, so the official reward of 1 gold pounds offered by the Kingdom of Loen will all belong to Audrey.

On the other hand, she could also claim bounties set up by countries and organizations such as the Intis Republic and the Feysac Empire, with a total amount of approximately 2 gold pounds.

Not only that, as a personal thank you gift, Duke Negan also gave Audrey his vacation estate in Disi Bay.

There is a rubber forest there that can generate stable income every year. Including the real estate and other ground attachments, the market value of this gift alone will not be less than 1 gold pounds.

In other words, excluding Qilingos' actions, Audrey had gained a huge fortune of approximately 4 gold pounds overnight!

　The third update, more to come.
