Chapter 348 Chapter 31 "Amon found the shadow of his former lover in Leonard."

  Alice shuddered at the disgusting look, and when she realized that Klein had nothing to say, she hurriedly said something and ran away:

  "I'll go write a reply!" She

  moved so quickly, as if her mother was waiting for her at home for dinner.

  Having correctly understood the core of the matter, Alice confidently wrote a reply:

  "Curiosity not only kills the cat, but also kills the Beyonder~ Note ①

  "I heard that there is an old witch named Cassandra who likes to run around and catch curious children like you~

  "Did He go to find you?"

  After following Klein's advice, she wrote a letter completely based on her mood without thinking about what she wanted to express, and then sent the letter out.

  - I hope Miss Winfred's imagination is as rich as Mr. "The Hanged Man" and she will automatically write the background story.

  Thinking of this, Alice shook her head, drew a scarlet moon logo on her chest, and then praised the "Lord of the Storm" devoutly.

  After that, she put down her hand and murmured, "It seems that I should draw the symbol of the Church of Fools, but there is no symbol... Forget it, I will use the symbol of the goddess for now, anyway..." Anyway,

  the spoils will be divided with the goddess.

  Well, I haven't been to the church on time recently... Forget it, the goddess probably doesn't want to see me.

  Alice gave up on her good habit of going to the church on time, eating on time, sleeping on time, and spent this ordinary Friday.

  What to do today?

  On Saturday morning, Alice counted the things she could do on her fingers.

  The main ingredients of the potion have not been found yet, and the auxiliary materials are even worse...

  I'm too lazy to go, take a break. I've tried very hard...

  Preaching... This is not my job, right? But, but I can think of who is more suitable to be kidnapped to be the Pope...

  First of all, he must be able to fight... The kind of angels who can fight.

  Secondly, he must understand me, and it would be best if he can guess what I want to do without me saying it...

  Finally, he can't stop me from doing what I want to do, and if possible, it would be best if he can accompany me...

  Alice blinked twice, and a vague image of a person wearing a monocle emerged in her mind.

  ...That's enough, no need to keep asking for clarity!

  Alice looked around and confirmed that no one wearing a monocle suddenly appeared in the room, then she leaned back with confidence.

  In order to avoid thinking about Amon again and again, Alice decided to find something to do with her brain, such as...drawing a new comic?

  Who should she draw?

  Fortunately or unfortunately, Alice's first memory of Amon, the image of the comic version of Amon, popped up.

  Alice put her hand on her chin and began to think.

  As we all know, one of the methods to treat PTSD is exposure therapy - I mean, in order to solve the problem of constantly thinking about Amon, Alice decided that one of the protagonists of the next comic would be Amon!

  ...No, it's okay to draw it according to the image, but it's too weird to call it by this name directly. How about giving Amon a nickname?

  Alice didn't think twice and wrote down the Loenese word for "crow".

  I'm so smart!

  Alice snapped her fingers complacently and began to think about what kind of story this should be.

  ...It definitely can't be a love story with Klein!

  Alice first ruled out the only story with a ready-made plot. She was afraid that Mr. Fool would see it.

  That would be too scary.

  However, drawing love is indeed a good idea.

  But two men is still not suitable for Rune. At least on the surface, it is still difficult to accept. Consider changing one of the protagonists to a girl...

  Wait, why don't I just have a female protagonist?

  Alice carefully recalled the women she knew and found that the most suitable female protagonist here might be herself - of course she couldn't make up a rumor about herself.   

  …Try a man.

  After biting the pen and thinking hard for a long time, a person who was both related and not so related appeared - Leonard.

  Alice did not forget that Leonard had an angel of the "thief" path living in him, and this angel was trapped by Amon's pursuit.

  Alice's pen tip moved slightly, and a new line of words appeared on the paper:

  "Amon found the shadow of his former lover in Leonard."

  After staring at this line of words for more than ten seconds, Alice swore in her heart that she would destroy this thing after finishing the draft.

  Okay, I can continue to draft. First, give Leonard a nickname...

  Recalling the image of Leonard in her memory, Alice wrote two lines of words on the paper at the same time: "Poet" and "Desperate Illiterate".

  ...The former is better.

  Alice couldn't bear to look directly at it and covered her face with her hands.

  It's hard to imagine that as a "midnight poet", Leonard can't write poetry - your magic potion doesn't add the ability to write poetry!

  Alice shook her head and continued to think about the rest of the story.

  Regarding the "thief" angel in Leonard's body, Alice didn't plan to give him a nickname for the time being. She planned to ask who this person was first...

  As for the main content of the story, it was easy to organize after setting the main theme of the substitute lover.

  ——Emperor Roselle had no interest in plagiarizing female romance novels.

  Of course, he probably hadn't read them either.

  But Alice was very clear about the flow of this kind of story. She could write a complete and ups-and-downs outline according to the setting now. This was too easy.

  The difficult part was naming.

  Alice was thinking about how to choose a name that was both youthful and romantic and reflected the theme. Well, ideally, it would be best to include the two protagonists...

  While she was thinking hard, she began to design the character image.

  Of course, it was impossible to use the original version.

  In the final image, Alice only retained some basic features, such as hair color and eye color, such as Leonard's poetic temperament, and Amon's monocle.

  Similarly, Alice also added some things that were not in the original version, for example, Leonard is now a girl, and Amon... Amon is almost a personification of a crow.

  Alice took a breath, tapped the table and began to name the story.

  She first tried to list the key elements.

  "Crow", "Poet", um, what else?

  Alice frowned, thought for a moment, and wrote "love".

  After looking up at her idea of ​​a substitute lover, Alice added "lie" on it.

  ...It is very consistent with the image of Amon.

  Imagining the scene when Amon saw this story, Alice suddenly wanted to laugh. She tried to hold it back and warned herself:

  "No, you have to laugh after you name it!"

  So saying, Alice wrote the final name on the manuscript paper:

  Poems in the Shadow of the Crow: The Intertwined Melody of Love and Lies. (End of this chapter)

Chapter 349 Chapter 32 Are all members of the Zoroaster family Zoroaster?

  Alice laughed out loud alone in the empty room. She even opened the spiritual barrier before laughing to prevent being heard.

  Well, this thing must not be seen by Klein... Uh, does Miss Justice know me?

  After laughing, Alice began to seriously think about how she would submit this thing.

  As for being seen by Amon... This is not the first time!

  Putting aside the part where Amon stole it from her mind without permission, Alice took the initiative to provoke Amon with such things, and it was not the first or second time.

  She did not give Amon a hardcover copy signed by the author as a souvenir because she had already considered the possibility of Leonard himself being exposed.

  However, it seems that it doesn't matter whether I give it or not. At most, it will advance the time. Otherwise...

  Alice's heart is itching.

  No, no... Alice firmly stopped her desire to mess around.

  As for who the "thief" angel in Leonard's body is, it is not difficult for Alice to investigate. Before that, he may have to go to the church. Now...

  Alice thought about it, ran to the dressing mirror, and drew the symbol left by Arrodes with ink.

  ... At least it should be on the mirror, right?

  Alice stared at the mirror intently. The mirror surface that originally illuminated the surrounding environment was stained with a bright white from the point where the symbol was drawn. The blood-colored words appeared on it like ink:

  "Thank you for your call, great lady fate."

  Before Arrodes mapped out an emoticon package that matched this line of text, Alice asked curiously:

  "Can't you change the font?

  "The background can be changed, the emoticon package can be added, why can't the font be changed..."

  It seemed that this was the first time someone made a similar request. Arrodes was silent for a long time before slowly emerging the text:

  "Okay.

  "What kind of font do you like?"

  The font and color of each letter in the following sentence are different.

  Oh, you can change it... Alice blinked and shook her head:

  "Your original one is pretty good, it matches the mirror very well.

  "I'm just asking."

  Arrodes continued without any hesitation:

  "Thank you for your compliment!"

  So amazing... I want to steal it...

  Alice looked at Arrodes in amazement, as if she was looking at a rare treasure. She licked her lips and said:

  "Leonard is parasitized by an angel of the 'thief' path...

  "Who is he?"

  This question didn't stump Arrodes at all. He took the opportunity to complain:

  "He is from the Zoroast family of the Fourth Epoch and has tampered with my question."

  "Zoroast..." Alice put her right hand on her chin, not noticing Arrodes's secret complaint, "Are all the Zoroast family Zoroast?"

  Obviously, this is the stereotype of "thief" that Alice has from Amon.

  Obviously, this is nonsense.

  "Of course, the Zoroast family is all Zoroast," the mirror responded. "Please forgive my ignorance. Can you describe your problem in a more understandable way?"

  "Yes," Alice replied.

  Obviously, Alice was much more skilled than Klein in dealing with rules. Arrodes did not expect that Alice, who looked simple and naive, could be so scheming in some places. He paused for a moment before continuing:

  "So what is your problem?"   

  This way the number matches... Alice, who had been counting secretly, blinked and asked her question:

  "The Amon family in the Fourth Epoch seems to be played by Amon and Amon's clones...

  "Does the Zoroaster family have a similar situation?"

  Arrodes understood this time, and replied:

  "At least the Zoroaster family does not have only one member."

  It seems that their ancestors at least did not have a bad personality like Amon... Well, maybe it can't be done, after all, the extraordinary characteristics of the "thief" are limited, but Amon is infinite...

  Infinite Amons have eaten up the limited extraordinary characteristics of the "thief"!

  Alice shook her head and looked at the mirror. The question popped up before she could speak:

  "Have you told my great master about my request?"

  Alice stared at the words on the mirror, tilted her head and said:

  "Yes.

  "But it's useless. First, your great master is not in Backlund, and second, your great master is... enduring humiliation for the great cause of recovery."

  Alice swallowed the toilet brush, although she felt that it would not be difficult for the mirror to find.

  After a pause, Alice touched her chin and asked the mirror:

  "You are locked up in... No, it's okay to put it in the donation box, but you will definitely be scolded for stealing the seal...

  "How should I get you out?"

  Arrodes instantly became excited:

  "You can ask the 'Mechanical Heart' directly about this matter."

  It makes sense, she can just ask... Alice touched her chin, patted the mirror solemnly and said:

  "Don't worry, I will find a way to redeem you, and you just follow me in the future!"

  ...?

  The strange wording successfully made Arrodes react to what was wrong with this matter:

  "Aren't you going to hand me over to my great master...?"

  Alice answered as a matter of course:

  "I want to come, why should I give it to others?

  "It's okay to use it, but you must be mine?

  " "But in this way, in this way, I suddenly don't want you that much... After all, you have been calling others master, which sounds so weird...

  " "But it would be even weirder if you call me master now? It feels, uh, more like a fence-sitter than a certain believer..."

  Alice successfully placed the mirror in a position where she could not do anything right. Finally, she looked at the mirror that dared not speak and made an assertion:

  "You should wait for Mr. Fool to come himself!"

  It is hard to say what Arrodes's real mood is. All Alice saw was a line of text without emoticons:

  "I look forward to your next summon at any time.

  "Do you have any other questions? "

  Hmm..." Alice bit her lip and began to think.

  But Arrodes didn't give Alice too much time to think, or rather, the "Mechanical Heart" didn't give Alice too much time to think.

  Before Alice could explain from beginning to end what she should do, Arrodes quickly flashed a line of text on the mirror, which was completely different from the previous way of hesitating one letter at a time:

  "Great Miss Destiny, I need to leave first, the people from the 'Mechanical Heart' are calling me.

  "I will always look forward to your next summons!" (End of this chapter)

Chapter 350 Chapter 33 Members of the "Mechanical Heart" team who do not want to reveal their names

  "Mechanical Heart" is looking for it? What's the matter... Hey, wait a minute!

  Alice habitually thought about it, and then found that Arrodes had left.

  Although she felt sorry that she couldn't continue to talk nonsense with Arrodes, Alice didn't get too entangled. After all, she had asked everything she wanted to ask. It was

  almost the same... So what exactly did the "Mechanical Heart" plan to do?

  Regardless of Alice's curiosity, she blinked her eyes, lay down on the bed, and went to peek.

  The members of the "Mechanical Heart" obviously didn't think about isolating themselves from the gaze of such a high-ranking existence. Alice saw three people, a man who was obviously in a leadership position and his team members, and an acquaintance - Winfred.

  The paper with Alice's eyes and name was generously placed on the table in the middle of the room. Alice saw the man put Arrodes' body on the table, and then greeted Winfred.

  From their mutual titles, Alice learned that this person was Ikonser Bernard, the butler of the "Mechanical Heart".

  Never heard of it.

  Alice touched her chin, watched him stroke the silver mirror three times, and asked:

  "Respected Arrodes, my question is, who left this paper?"

  Alice blinked and understood why the "Mechanical Heart" only arranged members of the Deacon level to investigate an incident that may involve a high sequence.

  Obviously, the only meaning of the existence of the vanguard is to use Arrodes.

  Alice felt that she understood everything. She looked at the surface of the silver mirror, and was a little curious about how Arrodes would deal with this problem.

  The surface of Arrodes rippled twice like water waves, and a "Wheel of Fortune" tarot card emerged in the mirror.

  This... seems to be no problem...

  Alice fell into deep thought.

  In the gap where no one spoke, Arrodes hid the picture of the tarot card, and new text emerged:

  "According to the principle of reciprocity, it is my turn to ask questions.

  "If you answer incorrectly or lie, you will be punished. "

  I always feel that the font it displays is more terrifying than mine... Alice was thinking about it, blinking her eyes to look at Arrodes' normal questions:

  "Has there been someone else around the man who made you give everything to please him but only got abandoned in the end?"

  Not really... Wait, a man?

  Alice looked at Ikanser Bernard hesitantly.

  His face did not look embarrassed, but as if he remembered something bad, he responded slightly bitterly:

  "There have always been other people around him." Note ①

  Really pitiful.

  Alice sighed with a bit of gloating. She looked at Ikanser Bernard who turned around as if he had no energy and said:

  "There are two more questions... Where is the person who left the note, and who does this honorable name belong to? Who of you will do it?"

  Winfred and the member of the "Mechanical Heart" team who did not want to reveal his name looked at each other, and then that member took the initiative to stand up:

  "I'll do it."

  "Be careful. "Ikanser Bernard, who was already socially dead, nodded and gave up his position while issuing a warning.

  A member of the "Mechanical Heart" team who did not want to reveal his name asked,

  "Dear Arrodes, my question is, where is the person who left this paper now?"   

  Alice looked at Arrodes with interest again.

  Arrodes never disappoints. Its mirror surface turned into a bottomless black, and a line of bloody words appeared above the darkness:

  "He is here."

  ... It seems that there is no problem.

  Alice felt a little surprised. Although she was not really here, she just cast a gaze from a distance, but this statement seemed to be really fine.

  This statement scared everyone present. In addition to Winfred's confusion in his eyes, Ikanser Bernard and the member of the "Mechanical Heart" who did not want to reveal his name looked around vigilantly. Of

  course, they found nothing.

  The member of the "Mechanical Heart" team who did not want to reveal his name was trembling with fear, but the thing that really made him sweat was still to come.

  ——Arrodes has not asked yet.

  The bloody words seemed to be some kind of ominous omen, revealing the darkest corner of his heart:

  "Compared to yourself, do you expect your wife to have intimate contact with other men more?"

  ...?

  Alice looked at the man in surprise. His face flushed instantly and he couldn't say a word. After an unknown amount of time, Alice heard his calm voice:

  "Yes."

  Alice looked at Ikanser Bernard, and then looked at the member of the "Mechanical Heart" team who didn't want to reveal his name, and deeply understood what a talented organization this was.

  Maybe he should have been born in Intis... Alice, who had read Roselle's diary, sighed silently.

  In any case, the member of the "Mechanical Heart" team who didn't want to reveal his name didn't want to continue asking, and the pressure came to Winfred Gregory.

  Ikanser Bernard, who no longer cared about his reputation, stood up and said bravely:

  "Let me do it."

  "No, let me do it." There was nothing wrong with Winfred Gregory's voice, but Alice looked over almost immediately.

  ——She felt a familiar suppressed excitement from Winfred's tone.

  Alice's guess was soon verified. Winfred rejected Ikanser Bernard's concern and walked forward to ask:

  "Who does this honorific name belong to?"

  Who does it belong to?

  The surface of the mirror rippled, and a picture spread in it like dripping ink. Alice saw the book she was familiar with.

  The book with an ocean blue cover was quietly placed on the table, and the silver runes were looming on it.

  Alice looked at the mirror curiously, thinking about what questions it would ask, but the silver runes on the cover of the book suddenly changed, flashing and converging into a silver eye.

  A gloved hand reached out and opened the book. They saw the line of silver text that appeared on the inside of the book at the same time:

  "If you are really curious about this question, why don't you try to read it?"

  Yes, why not? Find someone to read it... Wait, is it talking to us?

  Alice realized this problem belatedly. She looked at Arrodes in astonishment. The picture in the mirror shook for a while, and then disappeared as if there was no signal.

  Alice's pupils suddenly contracted, and she recalled the last time she saw "Cassandra" in the mirror.

  ——The scene at that time was cut off after the eyes appeared. (End of this chapter)

Chapter 351 Chapter 34 Alger collected two pages of diary

  Alice silently withdrew her gaze.

  She didn't care much about the subsequent development of the matter. The worst that could happen was that the "Mechanical Heart" discovered that it was the note she left behind - so what?

  That was not as exciting as Mr. Fool discovering that she had continued to write Roselle's diary.

  Anyway, the only clues could not deduce the secret of "Cassandra". After thinking for a while, Alice chose to eat ice cream and go to bed.

  The Tarot Club arrived as scheduled on Monday afternoon. After "Justice" Audrey completed the routine greeting task, "The Hanged Man" Alger raised his hand for the first time in a long time:

  "Mr. Fool, I collected two pages of Roselle's diary."

  Alice swallowed the words she had prepared for the time being. Seeing the two pages of the diary being passed to Klein, she suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart.

  ... Why do I feel that I should run away now?

  Alice lowered her head in thought, but Mr. Fool, who was sitting at the head of the bronze table, knocked on the table twice and said in a tone that was indistinguishable from his emotions:

  "Destiny, come and take a look."

  Two pages of the diary appeared in front of Alice. The Tarot Club members with different thoughts suddenly felt that the atmosphere became oppressive. Alice was also keenly aware of the change in Mr. Fool's pressure. She reached out and picked up the diary blankly.

  "April 4th, the taste of the Iron Knight is really good."

  ...?

  Alice felt that she seemed to understand why Klein was not in a good mood. She glanced at Klein carefully, then gritted her teeth and cursed in her heart.

  Damn "clown".

  ——The muscle control that was accurate to micro-expressions made her lose the ability to analyze Klein's emotions through the experience she summarized.

  Of course, Alice could still judge a little. She was sure that Klein must be in a bad mood, because if it was not necessary, Klein would not act in front of her.

  Alice closed her eyes as if facing a trial, took a deep breath, and then opened them again, looking at the next page of the diary.

  "March 4th, the Faceless Man tastes really good."

  "Fuck!" She cursed on the spot.

  Now, Alice deeply realized how wrong it was to continue writing the diary. She didn't dare to look at Klein's face, but turned her head to show Alger a resentful expression.

  The calm expression disappeared from Alger's face. Alice saw his body tremble, and then asked cautiously:

  "Miss Destiny, these two pages of the diary... Is there any problem?"

  To be honest, Alice felt at a certain moment that it was all Alger's fault - he saw these two pages of the diary and gave them to Klein, of course it was his fault!

  But Klein's gaze pressured her like a shadow, and Alice had to start self-reflection.

  I didn't think it through at the time. It would be too easy for Klein to find out if I did this. I must be careful in the future...

  Alice warned herself, then she sighed deeply and explained to Alger:

  "No problem at all.

  "There is no other problem except that these two pages of the diary were written by me. "

  ...Who wrote this?"

  Alger was stunned for a moment, and instantly understood the reason for Alice's strange expression.

  No wonder... Alger was not the only one who suddenly realized something because of a sentence. Obviously, the members of the Tarot Club understood the origin of today's farce, and then looked at Alger with sympathy.

  According to common sense, Miss Destiny would probably think that this was Mr. "The Hanged Man"'s fault... Such thoughts flashed through the minds of "Justice" Audrey and "Hermit" Cattleya, and they were surprised to find that it seemed not to be the case.   

  "Logically speaking, the loss of buying a fake should be borne by you..." Alice was mumbling. It

  took Alger some time to figure out the reason for this sentence. He realized that Alice didn't care about the fake diary, but just emphasized that she shouldn't pay for it.

  Such a change in personality... is it because of Mr. Fool? Alger looked at Alice, then looked at Klein in the gray fog, lowered his head and said to Alice cautiously:

  "Of course, I misidentified the diary, and the loss should be borne by me."

  Alice glanced at him, lowered her head to look at the diary in her hand, and muttered softly:

  "In fact, it's normal for you to buy it by mistake..."

  - The diary that Alger presented was not the original one written by Alice, but a copy that had been passed through countless hands.

  Such a diary, unless many pages are placed together and perhaps need to be carefully examined, or know Chinese, it is impossible to recognize it.

  This really can't be said to be Alger's fault. After all, if Alice hadn't continued writing her diary, today's incident wouldn't have happened, so... She swallowed back more words, raised her head and said,

  "You said it!

  "You bought this kind of diary because you didn't have good eyesight, and you were unlucky!"

  - It has nothing to do with me.

  Klein saw Alice's solution to the problem. He frowned and thought for a moment, then chose to let it go.

  She seemed to have known she was wrong, and there was no point in scolding her. Besides, this loss really shouldn't be borne by me...

  Mr. Fool, who had avoided a reward, was very happy. He chuckled and said,

  "Don't do it again next time. "

  Alice, who was still making trouble the previous second, shrank her neck and lowered her head the next second.

  After thinking for a while, she stole a glance at Alger, who was taking the blame. Alger seemed to be very skilled in this business, and he seemed to have no complaints about it.

  But Mr. "The Hanged Man" would lose money this way... Alice looked at Alger thoughtfully and made a suggestion:

  "Regarding the money you spent on buying the diary... You can pray to me after you go back, and then go to the casino to play a few games."

  This is not what Alice would say in the past. Alger raised his head in surprise for a moment, and after meeting Alice's gaze, he lowered his head again.

  - He would not change his code of conduct because of Alice's slight change, but Alice's changed attitude and the sense of security brought by Mr. Fool made Alger decide to follow Alice's advice.

  "Thank you for your concern, Miss Destiny," he said, "I'll try it when I go back. "

  He decided to try praying to Alice first.

  His courage came from many aspects. Alice's changed attitude was one, the sense of security brought by Mr. Fool was the second, and there was actually a third unknown reason.

  - He heard a very strange rumor in Bayam, saying that the crazy adventurer Gehrman Sparrow was the lover of the blonde girl.

  Oh, yes, after Alice got angry, the primary and secondary relationships in this rumor were changed. (End of this chapter)

l

Chapter 352 Chapter 35 I worked hard today!

  Alice letting the rumor spread gave Alger a subtle sense of security. He did not consider the possibility that neither Alice nor the "world" knew about the rumor.

  ——It was understandable that the "world" did not know, but how could Miss Destiny, who had taken back the power, not even know about it!

  In any case, the matter ended here. At the signal of Mr. Fool, the Tarot Club officially began.

  Alice raised her hand and asked the question she wanted to ask early in the morning:

  "Have you ever seen such a honorific name? Or such a book?"

  The image of "Cassandra" was materialized by Alice, along with the incomprehensible honorific name.

  "I think this should be called a '0' level sealed item," Alice introduced "Cassandra" in the silence of everyone, "It should come from a 'prophet', a sequence 2 angel." After

  a pause, Alice added: "Oh, if you have seen other 'prophet' sealed items, you can tell me."

  This was something Alice suddenly thought of. Although the original intention of investigating "Cassandra" was not for potion materials, it must be said that if she got "Cassandra", it would indeed solve the main material of sequence 2.

  Although the auxiliary materials at that time might be more troublesome.

  But that was not a problem Alice needed to worry about now. She just suddenly thought of it. She could ask... Well, whether her main materials for sequence 4 were not yet complete...

  Alice blinked twice innocently.

  This information was surprisingly easier to collect than the information about "Cassandra" who was running around everywhere. Cattleya raised her hand and said,

  "I once saw a sealed object called the 'Eye of the Prophet.'

  This is a bloodshot eyeball. By looking into the 'Eye of the Prophet,' you can randomly glimpse 1 to 6 futures, one of which must be your death.

  "The 'Eye of the Prophet' will keep watching you until the future of your death comes true.

  "It is said that there are other side effects, but I don't know."

  Alice supported her chin thoughtfully, and Audrey raised her hand while she was thinking and asked,

  "Ms. 'Hermit,' what if I only saw one future?"

  "Then you will see your death. "Cattleya answered without hesitation.

  "That's a bit too..." Audrey frowned, trying to find a suitable adjective.

  Alice glanced at Audrey. Although she understood what she wanted to express, she didn't think there was anything wrong with it. She shrugged and said,

  "If someone only sees one future, then he can only blame himself for being unlucky enough to touch the seal of the 'fate' path.

  "Well, it seems too harsh to say that he is looking for death. How about this...

  " "He took the initiative to step onto the ladder built for him by the god of death. What can you and I do? "

  ...?"

  Audrey actually understood what Alice wanted to say, but her last sentence sounded... not in line with her previous image. It's not that different.

  They have all heard some words from Alice that they didn't mean anything to at the time, but later found to have deeper meanings.

  But Alice mostly blurted out unconsciously, and this sentence seemed... too eager to show off.

  It was as if she was deliberately catering to a certain image.

  With the role-playing method in mind, Audrey asked carefully: "'Prophet' is the name of your Sequence 2 potion?"

  Alice nodded.

  Is Miss Fate trying to play the role of "Prophet"...?

  Such speculation is not only from Audrey. In fact, except for Emlyn, who has a really smooth brain, everyone guessed so.

  Emlyn? Emlyn was thinking about what information to look up later.   

  Seeing the topic going off the track, only Klein still remembered Alice's question. The reason was that he couldn't forget that Alice hadn't told him about this beforehand.

  Wait a little longer before thinking of a name for her! No, wait, is she not in a hurry at all...

  Klein felt a moment of silence, but he still worked hard to control the "world" to remind her:

  "Miss Fate, don't you describe the ability or side effects of the sealed object?"

  Alice turned her head expressionlessly and asked back without any emotion:

  "Do you think I don't want to?

  "So far, my understanding of it... my understanding of it is limited to what you know.

  "Ah, and that thing may be alive in a sense... and knows me."

  The matter about "Cassandra" playing the role of "prophet" was turned around Alice's mouth, and she swallowed it back.

  She didn't want to reveal this matter for some reason.

  The "prophet's" "prophecy" reminded Alice in a sense that for some things, the fewer people who know, the better the effect.

  The name of the "prophet" reveals a mysterious atmosphere. He has such a special ability. The ceremony of promotion to Sequence 1 is full of the smell of faking death and escaping... Uh.

  Alice threw out the "he chased her and she couldn't escape even if she had wings" in her mind.

  ... What.

  Alice patted her head and brought her thoughts back on track.

  In short, the way to play the "prophet" may be that the fewer people know about it, the better the effect!

  At least Alice can be sure that if the role of the "prophet" really needs a "protagonist", then the "protagonist" must not know about this.

  ——After all, she has never heard of a story where the "protagonist" is a tool for the "prophet".

  All along, the characters who wander around the edge of the story, like gold fingers and tools... are all "prophets", aren't they?

  Thinking of this, Alice's spirituality was suddenly touched. She reacted almost instantly and realized that she might have touched a key point.

  ... What is it?

  I can't think of it, I don't want to think about it.

  Alice, who is best at giving up thinking, decisively chose to give up. She looked at everyone who had no clue, but she was not very disappointed.

  She had a hunch long ago that even if she tried hard, it would be difficult to find any clues about "Cassandra".

  So, asking a question in the Tarot Club was her best effort - she didn't give up directly!

  Alice, who felt that she had tried very hard, nodded, fully affirmed her behavior, and then confidently asked the members of the Tarot Club:

  "What do you think, can I write in the Holy Scripture...

  "No trash in the trash can, no people in the bed, and no things on the table.

  "Well, how about I write this as a doctrine..." "

  Miss Fate," "The World" sneered and reminded, "You will make me suspect that you miss a certain experience in the past and want to experience it again." (End of this chapter)

Chapter 353 Chapter 36 Why not ask Mr. Fool?

  Alice quickly and decisively covered her mouth with her hand.

  Then she felt something was wrong, half-opened her fingers, and uttered a voice from between her fingers:

  "No, thank you, I don't miss it at all."

  She firmly rejected the proposal of "The World".

  Their communication made others realize that this rule was not just a whim of Alice, it seemed to represent something - God knows, they really thought it was the product of another fit of fate at first.

  No one would think that this was a mysterious ritual, which was mainly determined by Alice's style of doing things in the Tarot Club.

  In the daily chat session of the Tarot Club, before the arrival of Ms. "Hermit", the usual narrator was the knowledgeable Mr. "Hanged Man".

  Although "The World" should have a lot of experience, most of the time "The World" didn't like to talk. He mainly... mainly stopped Alice from making bizarre remarks.

  After the arrival of Ms. Hermit, the main narrators became Mr. Hanged Man and Ms. Hermit. Only Alice would still occasionally say some very strange words, and then be stopped by the "world".

  For example, Alice once asked Emlyn "Moon" whether "vampires" could not taste human food - otherwise why was the potion so unpalatable?

  Then Audrey was surprised to learn that vampires also eat human food, probably just like humans eat snacks - this analogy was also given by Alice.

  Of course, Alice occasionally makes some suggestions that make people... unexpected.

  For example, after learning that the "Forsaken Land of Gods" needs to rely on the unpalatable black grass to survive, Alice once asked in confusion:

  "In this case, why don't you ask Mr. Fool to give you food?"

  - How can the gift of the gods be used for such things?

  This feeling is as terrifying as Audrey discovering one day that it is not Mr. Fool's followers who need activity funds, but Mr. Fool himself.

  How can gods be associated with such mundane things!

  Except Alice.

  Of course, "Sun" Derrick also rejected Alice's words, because Alice's proposal was not as simple as asking Mr. Fool to deliver food. She suggested that Silver City order takeout through Mr. Fool.

  When she tried to show Derrick the recipe, the matter was stopped by the "world", and Derrick was relieved. He thanked Alice for her kindness and rejected her.

  ——Who would really let the true god deliver takeout to him? !

  Alice didn't understand this. After all, the Tarot Club's transactions seemed like express delivery to her. Mr. Fool was a courier, so it was normal for him to deliver takeout...

  After observing the faces of others, Alice rationally did not ask this question.

  It seemed that she was the only one who thought this was normal. Although she didn't understand what was abnormal, she probably wouldn't understand even if she asked, so forget it...

  With such a weird personality, it was understandable that Alice would occasionally think of some strange things.

  But the words of The World made the members of the Tarot Club realize that things were not as they thought. At a time when everyone was thinking about different things, Emlyn the Moon asked carelessly,

  "What past? Why are you two so secretive?"

  After saying this, even the usually reserved Alger the Hanged Man and Cattleya couldn't help but glance at Emlyn, so Emlyn asked,

  "Why are you all looking at me?"   

  "They are expressing their gratitude and admiration for you," said Alice, whose brain capacity is much larger than Emlyn's. "Your courage has earned you all this. You are worthy of being the savior of the vampires in the prophecy!"

  - In order to match the content of this passage, Alice replaced the usual "vampire" with "vampires."

  This success made Emlyn feel elated. He proudly puffed out his chest and forgot his initial doubts for a moment:

  "That's! We vampires..."

  Then came the incomprehensible words such as "ancient race" and "noble existence". No one laughed in front of Emlyn, but the gray fog was filled with a happy atmosphere for a while. From this point of view,

  she is actually quite smart... Klein looked at Alice who nodded perfunctorily in the gray fog, and then looked at Emlyn who was talking loudly, and smiled.

  Alice didn't know that someone had just weighed her brain and Emlyn's cerebellum together and compared them. After Emlyn finished bragging, she just changed the dangerous topic and asked,

  "Ms. Hermit, do you know how to transmit information to avoid the gaze of the Hidden Sage?"

  "Hermit" Cattleya glanced at Klein, whose face could not be seen clearly in the gray fog, with a little hesitation, and then replied,

  "If I knew, I wouldn't..."

  I wouldn't have alarmed Mr. Fool because of the pursuit of the Hidden Sage, and thus been abducted into the Tarot Club and become a member of the secret organization...

  Cattleya didn't say it out loud, but Alice felt that she understood. She raised her chin slightly and asked,

  "Why, do you regret it?"

  Alice's tone was flat, and her eyes swept across Cattleya casually, without any malice, but at a certain moment, Cattleya felt that something terrible was staring at her.

  "Of course not," she denied. "This is my honor and my opportunity."

  After a pause, she added to make her words more credible:

  "If it weren't for you, I don't know how long it would take to get the trace of the blood of the mythical creature..." She

  had said this just to deal with Alice, but as the words fell, Cattleya suddenly realized that it was true.

  - In a sense, being accidentally pulled into the Tarot Club and witnessing the resurrection of one... or two gods can indeed be called an opportunity.

  The premise is that the god she follows is successfully resurrected, and this god cannot be too...

  Cattleya glanced at Alice obscurely. Alice glanced at Cattleya thoughtfully.

  Her words were not too sincere. At least if she had a choice, Alice was sure that she would not accept such help.

  It doesn't matter, anyway, she has no choice.

  Alice looked at Cattleya with a half-smile, and looked her up and down with the same eyes that Klein looked at Jin Pound. When she was terrified, she said,

  "Okay, you are telling the truth.

  "So you don't know how to isolate yourself from the gaze of the 'Hidden Sage'?"

  Cattleya hesitated and glanced at Mr. Fool who was hiding in the gray fog and remained expressionless. (End of this chapter)

Chapter 354 Chapter 37 Russell's famous words

  Alice blinked twice, and finally realized what Cattleya was trying to say.

  When she was almost out of control due to the influence of the Hidden Sage, it was obvious that it was Klein's act of pulling her above the gray fog that saved her.

  Ah, this.

  Alice began to think about how to make this up.

  So annoying, can I not make it up for him... Alice sighed in her heart, raised her chin, and said stubbornly:

  "I don't want His help!

  "I can do it myself! "

  She was so stubborn that Klein almost believed her lies for a moment.

  If Alice hadn't thrown all the things she wanted to be honored to him.

  However, she has really improved a lot. I'm not surprised that she can act, but she didn't ruin my show, but took the initiative to help me cover up the lie... Well, although this was caused by her carelessness. But it's

  enough that she remembers to deal with the trouble she caused. As long as it's not like before...

  Klein looked at Alice and thought of Amon, who was still on the front page of the Storm Church's wanted poster. He suddenly felt relieved.

  Cattleya looked at Alice with hesitation, then looked at Mr. Fool and "The World" who didn't intend to express their opinions. After a moment of silence, she encouraged:

  "I believe you can think of a way, Miss Destiny."

  ——She seemed to have complete faith in Alice's acting skills.

  It should be said that the only one who was vaguely aware of this was "Justice" Audrey.

  It wasn't that there was something wrong with the expression and tone displayed by Alice. She had always been very good at imitating others, and it was easy for her to imitate the expressions and tones of others.

  For Audrey, the incongruous part of this matter was that the character setting didn't match.

  Didn't Miss Destiny always want to throw everything to others...?

  Although such a stubborn act of intending to do it herself was actually not inconsistent with Alice's character, Audrey wanted to know why Alice was... Why did she have such an idea? Secondly...

  She always felt that even if Alice really had such an idea, she would give up after just thinking about it.

  Audrey did not voice her doubts, but just sat aside with a smile, acting as a qualified "audience".

  Although it was just for coping, it had to be admitted that Alice was indeed pleased by Cattleya's words. She looked at Cattleya with an admiring look of "you are very tactful".

  Cattleya didn't know what to say, she lowered her head in silence.

  The Tarot Club fell silent again. After a moment's pause, Alger took the initiative to bring up a new topic:

  "Ms. Destiny, if we encounter Roselle's diary compiled by you...by you next time, how should we distinguish them?"

  "Yes..." Alice put her hand on her chin, "But I only wrote two pages. It's okay for you to remember those two pages and compare them every time, right? "

  It makes sense," Alger was forced to agree.

  Looking at the others who had no intention of speaking, "Magician" Fors mustered up the courage to speak, trying to reduce his workload:

  "Miss Destiny, we are not as familiar with Rosel language as you are, and we cannot remember the contents of the diary. We can only forcibly remember the appearance of the characters on it, which is a huge burden for us.

  "It is difficult for us to remember a certain page of the diary all the time, let alone take it out and compare it every time we see a new diary, but we can't pray to Mr. Fool every time to restore our memory...

  "Do you have a simpler way to help us distinguish those two pages of the diary?"

  Alice looked at Fors in confusion, wondering:

  "Then how did you know that you hadn't handed in this page of the diary when you saw the new diary?

  "Did you hand it in without even distinguishing it?"   

  Audrey, the Justice, beside Alice, lowered her head, not wanting to look at Fors.

  Cattleya, the Hermit, and Alger, the Hanged Man, also looked away. Derrick, the Sun, imitated his predecessors and looked away.

  What happened to them... Emlyn, the Moon, looked around in confusion and looked away.

  Klein thought for a moment, and manipulated the "world" to stop him:

  "Miss Destiny, I remember you marked it, right?

  "You seem to have said that there is a sentence on those two pages of the diary that was modified from a famous saying of Emperor Roselle. You can recognize it as soon as you see it..."

  ...?

  Alice was stunned for two seconds, and then realized that this famous saying should refer to "The taste of witch is really good."

  ...That is indeed a famous saying, and it may be the only famous saying of the emperor himself.

  Alice smiled with mixed feelings and said:

  "Yes, that's the case...

  " "I will teach you those three sentences."

  After teaching the members of the Tarot Club the characters of "The taste of witch is really good", "The taste of Iron-blooded Knight is really good", and "The taste of Faceless Man is really good", Alice pointed to "The taste of witch is really good" and said:

  "This is the original words of Emperor Roselle, and the other two sentences are adapted from this sentence."

  Everyone remembered this incident, and Audrey, a three-good student, raised her hand, as if she had something to ask.

  Alice nodded slightly to signal her to speak.

  "Miss Fate," Audrey asked a question that Alice didn't want to face, "Excuse me, what does this sentence mean?"

  Alice fell into deep thought.

  As Audrey asked the question, everyone looked at Alice, even the "Hermit" Cattleya seemed to want to know what this sentence meant.

  No, it was normal for her to be curious, maybe she was going to tell Bernadette...

  Alice looked at Klein who was hiding in the gray fog - very good, the corners of his mouth were raised high, and he seemed to be looking forward to her answer.

  ...This can't be told truthfully, right?

  Alice was silent, Alice hesitated, Alice was entangled.

  This is not appropriate...

  Alice gritted her teeth, thinking while trying to delay time:

  "This sentence... well, this sentence is from Emperor Roselle... well, it is an attitude towards life from Emperor Roselle.

  "This sentence means... uh, it means... if translated into Loen language, it should be..."

  What should I do? I can't delay it any longer. Save Klein...

  Alice was in a state of panic. Klein obviously noticed this and was thinking about what to say.

  ... I can't really tell the truth!

  But in fact, it's better to have some relationship... Well, the taste of witch is really good... witch... assassin... I remember that the emperor wrote many books about assassins...

  Klein chuckled and made up for Alice's lie:

  "Everything is false, everything is allowed." (End of this chapter)

Chapter 355 Chapter 38 Derrick's Request

  So it was this sentence... It seemed to be from some book written by Emperor Roselle... But is there anything wrong with this sentence? Why did Miss Fate look so embarrassed...

  Such a thought flashed through Audrey's mind, and then she saw Alice pat her chest with her hand, exhaled, and muttered:

  "So this is how it is translated..."

  ...?

  So that's how it is... Miss Fate could understand it, but she didn't know how to translate it into Loenese... It didn't seem strange that it was Miss Fate's words...

  Alice's act of slandering herself brought the matter to a satisfactory end. Although Cattleya still looked at Alice in confusion, they all accepted this statement.

  After all, unlike Mr. Fool, who was suspected to be a "respected elder", Alice... She didn't look like a cultured person at first glance.

  Alice certainly saw what the others were thinking. Although this was a decision she made after a sudden inspiration, when she found that the image she left behind was really like this, she still gritted her teeth secretly.

  So angry…

  Alice squeezed the chair with her hands under the table. She suppressed her desire to glare at Klein and decided to cause him some trouble later.

  It must be his fault!

  The good news is that her angry attitude successfully persuaded Audrey, who wanted to ask what the other two sentences meant.

  ——Although she was curious, Audrey knew that it was not a good idea to attract Alice's attention at this time.

  Without Audrey, except for Emlyn, others would not take the initiative to ask even if they were curious. The only one who might ask, Emlyn, was not very interested in it.

  That was the end of the matter. After finding that no one else was talking, "Sun" Derrick thought for a moment and raised his hand, carefully choosing his words and asking:

  "During my recent patrol mission, I encountered a little... a little... a very special situation.

  "Our patrol team suddenly became very unlucky when passing through a ruin. They choked when drinking water and choked when eating...

  "This situation did not last long and would disappear in about a day, but every patrol team passing by the ruins would encounter this situation...

  "And outside the Silver City, this kind of bad luck can develop into a very dangerous situation, such as the lights suddenly going out, or suddenly encountering a monster...

  "Although no one has made a mistake in the battle so far, I'm worried..."

  Although he did not point out a specific person, Derrick's gaze for help fell accurately on Alice this time. In his hesitant eyes, Alice had to remind him:

  "You see, it's useless for me... I can't hear your prayers outside, but I don't know how to get through... I can't ask Amon to take me through, can I?!"

  This is what they have experimented with.

  In fact, at one point, Alice wanted to ask Derrick why he didn't ask Klein - after all, his honorific name included "the Yellow and Black King who controls good luck", but she quickly held back.

  After all, Mr. Fool doesn't have the ability to control good luck now, and it would be awkward if someone asked.

  Suppressing the dangerous thought, Alice continued:

  "You can wait... um, wait until I find a way to go to your place, uh, or wait until Mr. Fool recovers a little, until he can send people over..."

  Thinking of the question of whether Klein could receive prayers from the "God-Forsaken Land" and respond to the rituals there, Alice glanced at him.   

  It shouldn't be because of him... No, that's nonsense. He doesn't have the ability to receive prayers at all. It must be because of Sefirah Castle... If that's the case, why can't the Key of Light do that?

  Is it the difference between the Pillar-level and the Old One-level? Or...

  Alice pursed her lips gently, remembering the power that seemed to be calling her.

  Combined with the cognition of the law of aggregation of Beyonder characteristics, Alice suspected that she only carried a part of the power of the Key of Light, not the whole thing, and might not even be the main body. The real Key of Light was actually sealed in the Western Continent.

  This was also one of the goddess's guesses about her situation at the time. Another possibility was that she was a fragment of the Key of Light that escaped, but she had existed as the only one, and Alice insisted that she must have been a human at the beginning, so this possibility was temporarily ruled out.

  However, if this is true, I should really go to the "God-forsaken Land" to take a look... After all, it borders the Western Continent, and maybe I can get more clues.

  Then return that damn birthday gift to Him.

  Thinking of this, Alice clenched her fist, raised her head and smiled:

  "Well... stay away from there for the time being. If you need it, I can provide you with a spell to remove bad luck, as long as you... uh, you don't have money."

  Alice looked at Derrick who was not familiar with currency and fell into deep thought.

  Derrick, who realized that this matter could not be solved for the time being, had not had time to feel disappointed before he heard good news. Then, the good news turned into bad news. He said unwillingly:

  "I, I can provide extraordinary characteristics and various materials..."

  "I can sell them on your behalf." Alger also tried to make a profit from this transaction.

  Alice shook her head and smiled at Derrick:

  "Maybe you are just worried about your friend, but for Mr. Fool's sake, and because this is the first time, I refuse you this time.

  "Next time, there will be no such good thing. After all... you have no reason to take out so many spells to remove bad luck, and there is no reason to ask for benefits from others, right?

  "Fate is not a philanthropist, so in order to pay the price, you must not be a philanthropist, dear Mr. 'Sun'."

  Alice's tone was intimate, but the look she gave Derrick was colder and more warning than before.

  Derrick woke up from this look and realized that Miss Fate was not as easy to talk to as Mr. Fool. If

  you owe Mr. Fool something temporarily, judging from their past performance, there will not be too serious consequences, as long as they don't really plan to run away.

  But, if you owe Miss Fate temporarily...

  Unfortunately, Alice's past performance will only make people feel that she will suddenly regret it at any time and then take some rewards that you absolutely don't want to pay. The

  fickleness of fate is particularly perfect in her.

  Thinking of this, Derrick stood up and thanked her solemnly:

  "Thank you for your reminder, kind Miss Fate."

  ...?

  Is he talking about me...?

  He, he is really talking about me...?

  It's okay for the Hermit lady, but how could Little Sun...

  Alice, who had a clear understanding of herself, raised her head hesitantly, blinked twice, and asked uncertainly:

  "Me, kindness?" (End of this chapter)

Chapter 356Chapter 39 "Mom!"

  The Tarot Club ended with Alice in confusion and entanglement.

  Derrick was different from Cattleya, the Hermit, Alger, the Hanged Man, and Audrey, the Justice.

  Although this word might be said by others, it at least shows that Derrick probably really felt that she was... kind when he spoke.

  He praised me so much... Why don't I be nicer to him in the future...

  While Alice was entangled, Klein announced the end of the Tarot Club, and then asked her while she was still thinking with her head down:

  "Why didn't you tell me about the book and the honorific name?"

  "Huh?" Alice raised her head blankly.

  Klein materialized the image of the book, then stared at her and asked:

  "Why didn't you tell me about this?"

  Alice was silent for a moment, and then hesitantly said:

  "You know...'Cassandra', that is, the level of the book has Sequence 2, right?"

  "Cassandra?" Klein repeated doubtfully.

  Alice sighed and explained somewhat helplessly:

  "A cursed 'prophet' who died because of his own prophecies... I guess that's what it is.

  "Anyway, that's what the book calls itself... Hey, you really know it has Sequence 2, right?"

  I'm looking for an angel-level sealed object. Even if I tell you, you can't do anything about it - at most, there will be another information source like Arrodes... Oh wait, he actually seems to have an angel-level "favored one".

  Alice looked down at herself and fell into deep thought.

  Rounding off, she should also be considered an angel under the Fool's seat.

  So, Alice raised her head solemnly and said indignantly:

  "How can you, the Church of Fools, use child labor!"

  ...?

  Klein felt that he didn't understand what Alice said, and he made a sound that he didn't understand:

  "Ah? "

  How did the topic... jump to this point? Is there any connection between her previous and next sentences...? The child laborer she mentioned is... herself?

  Klein's expression was filled with confusion. After looking at him for two seconds, Alice tried to explain the process she omitted:

  "That is, I, I should be considered your angel-level follower..."

  Indeed, she can be considered... So the child laborer does refer to her, an underage angel... That book is a "prophet" at the Sequence 2 level...

  Klein thought he understood Alice's logic. He looked at Alice and thought for two seconds before suggesting:

  "If I remember correctly, you should not have a diploma.

  "Have you ever thought about the past..."

  "No!" Alice screamed excitedly, "Don't even think about it! How can an angel go to high school!" Alice, who

  eats on time, goes to bed early and gets up early, and tries her best to do everything a child of this age should do, excitedly rejected the most important thing.

  "Sometimes, talking to you is more difficult than learning a foreign language..." Klein, who taught himself many foreign languages, including Giant Language and Elven Language, and also studied several foreign languages ​​in class, and currently masters a total of nine languages, including Loenese, Chinese, and English, said. Note ①

  Alice put her hand on her chin, lowered her head and changed the subject:   

  "Anyway, the level of 'Cassandra' is Gundam Sequence 2! We're not sure if there are any other strange things mixed in...

  "In this case, even if I tell you, it probably won't be of any use!"

  Indeed... Even if she told me, the most I could do is ask around for her. Also, she's probably not very good at normal reasoning... Uh, does she really need reasoning?

  Klein glanced at Alice and looked away again.

  She doesn't really need reasoning at all, right? No, it sounds like she doesn't need anything. She just needs to wait... wait... Uh, wait for the right time?

  Thinking of Alice's several bizarre experiences, Klein felt indescribably complicated for a moment. He couldn't help but ask with emotion:

  "Do you really need to find that 'Cassandra'? I always feel that it will be sent to you for some strange reason..."

  Alice spread her hands and said, "Hasn't it been sent here?"

  "Isn't it sent thoroughly enough?" Klein thought for a moment and said, "You used to drop it directly into your mouth. "

  Alice remained silent. She decided that she couldn't be the only one who was stabbed in the heart. She wanted to poke Klein as well.

  Thinking of this, Alice's eyes became firm. Then the emotion was dispersed. She looked at Klein with a deep and sticky look, and shouted in a tortuous voice:

  "Mom!"

  On March 21, 1350 of the Fifth Epoch, in Mr. Fool's kingdom, Miss Destiny was grateful for Mr. Fool's care for her all the time, and affectionately called out the name that Mr. Fool had always longed for but dared not accept:

  "Mom!"

  Although he was a god who had existed for a long time, Mr. Fool was still very excited at this moment, and fell off the chair with emotion.

  Miss Destiny immediately shed tears of worry. She bit her lip. Although she didn't get up, her eyes never left Mr. Fool, watching him get up from the ground, and her body couldn't help shaking.

  "Don't laugh, Alice!" Klein, who got up from the ground above the gray fog, roared, "Are you fucking sick! "

  Alice no longer held back. She gave up biting her lips to hold back her laughter. She covered her stomach with her left hand and clapped her right hand on the table as she burst into laughter. The gray fog was suddenly filled with the smell of happiness.

  Only Alice's happy world was achieved.

  Klein had no way to deal with this. You know, not long before this, he was still sad because Alice's first reaction was not to ask for his help.

  Klein couldn't refute Alice's words, because after thinking about it carefully, he found that he seemed to be really fulfilling his duties as a mother.

  Looking at Alice who was still laughing, Klein gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, showed a warm smile and said:

  "Alice, since you call me mother, then I think I should also fulfill my responsibility to educate you on behalf of your mother.

  "I can't just watch you degenerate like this, I think..."

  "No need," Alice stopped smiling and sat up straight, "Mr. Moretti, or Mr. Zhou, I don't think we are familiar enough yet."

  ...The tone of voice changed so quickly.

  Klein shook his head. Seeing that she had returned to normal, he stopped joking with her and asked in a deep voice,

  "Are you sure you can handle the matter of the book?"

  Well, he is concerned about me... Alice smiled at the worry in Klein's eyes and waved her hand in a good mood, saying,

  "Don't worry, even if you don't want to be my mother, I can still call the goddess mother... Uh, I hope the goddess is willing to recognize me." (End of this chapter)
