Chapter 76 Chapter 39 Password

Alger subconsciously glanced at Mr. Fool, who was hiding in the gray mist and always spoke in a calm voice.

He actually wanted to ask what this sentence meant, but he was suddenly not sure whether he should ask - if he did, could he still leave the Tarot Club alive today?

Alger looked at Alice who dared to say anything. There was always a possibility that one day he would hear something he shouldn't have heard because he didn't cover his ears in time when chatting with Miss Destiny, and then be struck by lightning. Worry about death.

He hesitated and didn't know what to say, but Alice couldn't help it: "Don't you ask me what the password is?"

"...What is it?" Alger asked cooperatively.

Alice, who was not flattering, sat back in her chair contentedly and spoke the next words in plain Chinese: "Odd and even remain unchanged, and the symbols look at the quadrants."

"Qi, Qi, uh... Miss Destiny, could you please say it again?" Alger was troubled by the awkward language.

...

After Alice taught Alger the pronunciation of the code word for word and agreed on a specific time and place, Klein lifted the shield with the feeling that Alice was definitely not a good teacher.

The next person to speak was Little Sun. He imitated Audrey and Alice, raised his hand and said: "Mr. World, the extraordinary weapon you gave me exceeded my expectations. I have accumulated enough merits to redeem it. I have obtained the materials and have been promoted to Sequence 8. I will use the remaining merits in the next two days to hire helpers to obtain the real roots and sap of the misty tree people. I will be able to complete the transaction soon."

It seems that Little Sun likes the easy-to-carry ax very much... Hey, I wonder if the "wealth-making accessory" has been sold? Can we see the gentleman who sells "wealth-making accessories" at the next party?

"Okay," Mr. "World" nodded and responded in a hoarse voice, "Madam, sir, do you have any clues about the evil patterned black panther's spinal fluid and the elven spring's medulla crystal?"

Audrey shook her head without hesitation. After thinking for a few seconds, Alger suddenly said:

"On the Sunian Sea, there will be a grand gathering among pirates in the near future. The fleets of four pirate kings and six pirate generals may participate. Ah, it should be seven pirate generals, and someone else has joined the ranks.

"At such a grand event, there must be transactions of extraordinary materials, and there is a high probability that the not-so-rare evil-patterned black panther's spinal fluid and the marrow crystal of the Fairy Spring will appear.

"I have the opportunity to participate in this event, but what can you give in exchange?

"I think you definitely don't have the magic potion formula for 'Wind Blessed One' now, and it will be difficult to get it in the future."

Alice, who is going on the boat next week, couldn't help but glance at the "Hanged Man".

"The World" chuckled gloomily:

"Yes, I do not have the magic potion formula of 'Wind Blessed One' yet, and I can't find a way to get it in a short time.

"But I have a incomplete recipe for Sequence 4 potion in my hand.

"Although it is incomplete, I think you should know its value very well. It can be exchanged for at least 1 gold pounds, and most of the time, you can't buy it with double the price at a premium. This is a qualitative change in human beings. critical step.

"How about it, are you interested? The spinal fluid of the Evil Pattern Black Panther is worth between 500 and 700 pounds, and the medulla crystal of the Fairy Spring is worth 300 to 400 pounds. I think you need to prepare an additional 9000 pounds in cash or the equivalent. thing."

How could he have the formula for Sequence 4... Alice was slightly startled, remembering that under Mr. World's gloomy holster was actually a warrior who dared to divine the eternal blazing sun. She suddenly had a guess as to the origin of this formula: "I Say... Mr. World, are you talking about Sequence 4 of the Sun pathway?"

Derrick's heart skipped a beat, and he became uncontrollably excited for this unconfirmed formula. Alger and Audrey looked at Alice and "The World", thinking that they really knew each other.

"That's right," "The World" confirmed Alice's guess, "That's the potion formula of the Sequence 4 'Darkless One' of the 'Sun' pathway."

For a moment, Alice was interested in the matter of divine divination. No, she doesn't even need the true god of divination. She just needs to divination her past and her origin, and maybe she can find all the magic potion formulas for her advancement...

Under the spiritual warning, Alice stopped this dangerous idea in time.

"'The Dark One'..." Alger repeated in a low voice and responded calmly, "Sorry, I don't need it."

Huh? He... is he sure he can get the potion formula from the church?

After all, the formula for the "Sun" pathway that Klein proposed was certainly not something that was just available. Who would spend money to buy a Sequence 4 formula that they couldn't use, or that was incomplete? The sequences of the "Sun" pathway and the Church of Storms are most likely interchangeable.

Speaking of which, are there any interchangeable sequences for the "Destiny" path?

The last thought just passed through her mind, because even if it did, it didn't mean much to Alice. She guessed that she would probably end up on this road.

Mr. "World" who couldn't believe that he was rejected said: "You can owe a part first. With Mr. Fool as my witness, I believe you will definitely make up for it."

"No, I really don't need it." Alger shook his head.

He was quite confident... Alice raised her chin, wanting to see what other chips Mr. World could bring out.

"The World" was silent for a few seconds before saying: "Other magic potion formulas, or some secrets I know? For example...the secret at the top of the sequence."

It's the secret of Sequence 0... Alice thought about the party at the Brave Bar. If such a secret was exchanged for items there, no one would buy it, right?

Therefore, when selling things, you must also pay attention to the needs of customers. The same product has different values ​​​​to different customers...

Alice nodded thoughtfully.

Alger changed his sitting posture slightly and replied thoughtfully: "I know some secrets at the top of the sequence. How do you make sure that the two do not overlap? How do you make sure that the secret you are talking about is equal to the evil-patterned black panther's spinal fluid and the elves?" What is the value of the crystallization of the medulla of the Fountain?"

"We will give the top secrets of the sequences we know to Mr. Fool, and he will compare whether they are repeated and confirm the value. Mr. Fool, is that okay?" "The World" replied.

Immediately afterwards, Mr. Fool in the gray mist said with a look down on him: "Okay."

Isn't that all yours? !

Alice was amazed by Klein's shamelessness. She felt that if it were her, she would not be able to act so realistically.

Alger nodded slowly and said, "I have no problem, let's get started."

And Audrey, who had no money for the time being, could only watch this scene with greedy eyes.

Chapter 78 Chapter 40 Alger's guess (first update)

"The World" and "The Hanged Man" quickly handed over the written content. After reading it, Mr. Fool in the gray mist chuckled: "It's not repeated. For most extraordinary people, Mr. 'World' The secret provided has no value, but in the eyes of some people, it is vital and cannot be measured by money."

He must have breathed a sigh of relief...but why did he say the second half of the sentence? If I had heard this, I would have hesitated.

Sure enough, Alger was very hesitant about this. After nearly twenty seconds, he asked: "Mr. Fool, can you give me some more tips? I can't make a choice now."

Mr. Fool thought for a moment and then said: "What he described is a detailed supplement to the secret you know."

Hearing this, Alger didn't hesitate at all. He turned to look at "The World" and said briefly and forcefully: "Deal."

He quickly added:

"I will exchange it for you within this week for the spinal fluid of the Evil Pattern Black Panther and the marrow crystal of the Fairy Spring."

"Of course, the premise is that they appear at the pirate festival. Although this probability is very high, we still have to believe that anything can happen. In that case, it may be postponed to next week, the next week, or even next month. Please rest assured that I will definitely fulfill my promise."

"No problem. Mr. Fool is the witness, so I don't need to worry about anything." The World replied hoarsely.

Then, Alice saw a piece of parchment appear in front of "The Hanged Man", he couldn't wait to read it, and then...

Alice looked at the Hanged Man who was obviously losing his temper, and realized that the existence of Sequence 0 had a much greater impact on him than she thought.

Looking past Miss Justice, who had nostalgic eyes, Alice turned to look at Derrick and said, "Mr. Sun, I have a question for you."

Derrick sat upright.

"I want to know..." Alice recalled the demon dog that suddenly escaped, "Do extraordinary people of the 'demon' path have prophecy or danger perception abilities?"

Klein, who was hiding behind the gray mist, immediately frowned. He easily thought of Backlund's recent serial killer.

Did she encounter that demon? No, that "devil" wouldn't have the guts to go to the North District, would he?

"All 'demons' have similar abilities," Derrick replied. "If someone has the ability to cause harm to the 'demons' and takes action, then the 'demons' will be able to sense and detect it. This way we can grasp the source of danger and the person. The time and range of induction vary depending on the type of 'demon'."

Sure enough... Alice frowned, pondered for a moment, then looked at the others and asked, "What would you guess if a 'demon' suddenly ran away in the middle of fighting you?"

"Perhaps, a strong man suddenly came over?" Audrey thought for a while and said, "The 'demon' felt the strong man's aura, so he ran away?"

"Is there any other possibility?" Alice asked.

"Can you confirm that there are no other strong people here?" Alger asked.

"You misunderstood me, Mr. Hanged Man," Alice shook her head. "It's not that I don't know the cause of this matter, but I want to know what other people will guess."

"I would also suspect that there is a strong person passing by," Alger looked at Alice and said, "Or maybe you plan to use a powerful sealed object."

Alice glanced at Alger, who had already assumed that the person fighting with the "devil" was her, she stopped talking, and finally gave up.

"There is another possibility," "The World" suddenly interjected, "I might suspect that the other party is a demigod who pretends to be an ordinary person and walks around because of interest..."

"You have such a rich imagination, Mr. World," Alice responded with a smile, "Why don't you doubt that I am the true god walking on the earth?" Alger hesitated and glanced. Alice.

Audrey glanced at "The World" who closed her mouth, and decided to lighten the atmosphere. She asked Derrick: "Mr. Sun, I remember you said that Silver City has Sequence 9 of the dragon pathway. Sequence 8 and Sequence 7 potion recipes?"

"Yes," Derrick nodded honestly, "The name of the Sequence 7 potion is 'Psychoanalyst'."

"If I want to get it, what price do I have to pay?" Audrey asked reservedly.

"The Sequence 7 potion formula of the 'Sun' pathway." Derrick answered without thinking.

Audrey nodded lightly and said, "I'll try my best to collect them."

The handover part ended here. As soon as the free communication session began, Alger took the initiative to mention: "The fleet of Hurricane Vice Admiral 'Qilingos' was conquered, and a new pirate general was born."

Audrey asked: "What is his name? What is his current title? There is no similar news about Backlund yet."

"The Hanged Man" Alger nodded slowly and said, "She is a lady, and she was a famous pirate in the past. You should have heard of 'Sickness Girl' Tracy, right?"

"No, I don't know much about this." Audrey shook her head honestly.

Alger was silent for two seconds, wasting no time in explaining, and said directly:

"In short, she conquered Qilingos' fleet last month and proved with practical actions that she has the strength of a pirate general. She renamed Qilingos's ship 'Black Death' and called herself 'Vice Admiral of Disease' .

"She used to be a loner and was good at using curses, black fire, and frost. People who were hostile to her would always suffer from sudden illnesses, all kinds of diseases. No one knows which path she belongs to, but they are sure that she It's at the level of Sequence 5."

Curse, black fire, frost? Alice's eyebrows twitched, remembering a certain sequence that shocked her, but her thoughts were like a gate that couldn't be pulled back. Alice couldn't help but start thinking about the ability to spread diseases and the suitability of witches.

...it seems quite appropriate.

Alice decided to leave this trouble to others. She looked at Alger and said, "She might be a witch."

Audrey's eyes widened and she asked, "Miss Destiny, how did you know?"

Alice explained: "Curse, black fire, frost...these are the abilities of witches. Although I didn't know what the abilities of Sequence 5 witches were before, but now it seems that maybe it is spreading diseases? No, maybe it should be Spread the plague."

"Thank you for informing me, Miss Destiny." Alger gave a symbolic thank you.

"Then, as a thank you, can you tell me about things at sea? For example, the four pirate kings and the other six pirate generals..."

Alger looked around and saw that "Justice" was very curious as expected, and "The World" and "The Sun" also acted like listeners, so he nodded lightly and said, "No problem."

　Alger: You kid won't accidentally tell the truth, right?

　　This is the first update and there will be more later (squirming)

Chapter 79 41 Information Exchange

Playvolume00:00/00:00TruvidfullScreen

Chapter 79 Chapter41 Information Exchange (Second Update)

After Alger introduced the Four Kings and Seven Generals, Audrey said with anticipation: "Thank you very much for sharing. I begin to yearn for the sea. I don't know when I will be able to truly travel."

"No, Miss Justice, this is definitely not as beautiful as you imagined. In my opinion, this is a combination of blood, chaos, killing, desire, and fear." Alger calmly poured cold water on it.

Audrey nodded and said, "A serial murder case occurred in Backlund recently. There were 11 cases in total, but one of them was confirmed to be a copycat crime. The characteristic of this serial murder case was that it targeted those who had done it. For women who are street girls but currently have regular jobs, the murderer will cut open their abdomens and remove all their internal organs."

"It sounds like it has something to do with worshiping demons. It was done by people from the Blood Worship Cult?" Alger made a guess instantly.

"I don't know, the murderer hasn't been found yet." Audrey didn't look happy about this.

"That's normal," Alice knocked on the table, "Who would have thought that the murderer was not a person, but a dog?"

"Dog?" Thinking of her Susie, Audrey looked at Alice in surprise.

"I rescued a girl from a dog suspected of being a 'devil' a few days ago," Alice shrugged. "To be precise, the guy suddenly ran away..."

Recalling Alice's question not long ago, Audrey suddenly realized, and then asked with concern: "Where is that girl? How is it?"

"Went to the Church of the Night." Alice spread her hands.

"Then...that's not right!" After hearing Alice's words, Audrey breathed a sigh of relief, but she randomly noticed something was wrong. "In this case, why do the authorities still have no clues at all?"

"Perhaps, they are waiting for me to collect the bounty." Alice replied, "I guess the church is also curious about why the 'demon' suddenly ran away... Anyway, not announcing the news will not affect their continued pursuit of the murderer. "

Audrey fell silent.

Although everyone was curious about this matter, Alice obviously had no intention of saying anything.

"I know this ritual." Derrick, who had been ignored, suddenly joined the conversation.

Alice looked over curiously and asked, "You know?"

Derrick nodded: "Our 'Demonology' textbook mentioned it. It is quite ancient. It is a ritual used by demons to assist their promotion. It often appears in Sequence 6 to Sequence 5."

"It's not a ritual to please the devil, but a ritual used by the devil to help him advance?" Audrey asked in surprise.

Derrick answered very seriously: "Yes, Sequence 6 of the 'Abyss' path is called 'Demon', which is also the origin of their family name."

"The 'Abyss' path..." Alice repeated the name thoughtfully. After learning that "Devil" was just the name of Sequence 6 of this path, she realized that the "Abyss" casually spoken by Little Sun was very Probably the name of sequence 0 of this pathway.

There seems to be a lot of lost knowledge in Silver City... Alice's eyes flashed and she asked: "Mr. Sun, do you know the specific content of this ritual?"

Derrick nodded and said:

"The minimum is 13 people and the maximum is 49. The more complete the ceremony, the more likely you are to be promoted.

"There should be at least three days between two killings, otherwise it will easily get out of control, but the interval cannot exceed nine days, which will reset the ritual.

"After every killing and every part of the ritual, the demon will eat the victim's internal organs. From then on, he will be in a state of violent bloodthirsty and wanting to hurt others until that desire is satisfied again."

Alice's expression gradually became serious. A demon dog in a violent and bloodthirsty state, Alice knew without even thinking about it, its decision probably didn't have much rationality at all.

In other words, an ordinary premonition of danger may not be able to dissuade the devil dog!

However, if I must say it, this only helped Alice confirm the matter again. As early as when she witnessed Megoose's strange death, Alice understood that the unknown influence left on her was by no means a simple existence.

And the unexpected encounter with the mercury snake and the warning that followed made Alice suspect that the influence of that kind of person definitely surpassed the angels of Sequence 1, that is to say...

At least the true God.

Why use at least? Hey, true gods also have strengths and weaknesses.

"It's really scary..." Audrey sighed sincerely.

The discussion on the serial murder case came to an end. Audrey organized her words and then asked:

"Mr. 'The Hanged Man', Miss 'Destiny', I have always had some doubts."

"I have attended several Beyonder gatherings and found that very few people sell magic potion formulas. Even if they do, it is difficult to make a deal. Why?"

Alice, who had never paid attention to this problem, thought of Mr. Fool and Mr. "Eye of Wisdom" as notaries, and after a little thought, she came up with the answer: "If there is no trustworthy notary in a party, most people will not The ability to distinguish between genuine and fake potion formulas."

Alger chuckled and said, "Yes, magic potion formulas are easy to fake. No one dares to risk their own lives. How can you prepare two extraordinary materials and conduct an experiment on animals first?"

"Ahem." Alice interrupted Alger with a tactical cough.

Alger paused for a moment, looking at Audrey's guilty expression, and finally remembered what their "Justice" lady had done, and closed his mouth.

Audrey, who was the first to ask the question, changed the subject guiltily: "Can't it be done by making an oath?"

"Do you want to invite the seven orthodox gods to the party, or do you want to invite the evil gods to enjoy you as a sacrifice?" Alice couldn't help but ask.

Audrey closed her mouth again.

"Actually, there is another reason," Alger said. "Without understanding the 'acting method', potions can easily cause loss of control and turn people into monsters. The corresponding materials are difficult to obtain and quite expensive, so , as long as the seven major churches do not allow similar transactions to be officially certified, the potion formula will not be spread on a large scale without deliberate control, let alone popularization."

"So that's it..." Audrey whispered to herself.

Derrick opened his mouth. He actually wanted to ask who the seven orthodox gods were, but in the end he cautiously held back and said instead:

"Silver City recently organized an exploration into the depths of darkness and discovered a semi-destroyed temple. The god enshrined inside was a naked man crucified upside down, with a lot of blood smeared on the surface of its body. "

"Do you know which god this is?"

　Second update!

　　I'll try my best to fill up the fifth update. If I'm taken away for the New Year's Eve dinner or something, I'll make up for the rest in the first and second grade of junior high school (falling down)

Chapter 80 42 Alice's flag

Playvolume00:00/00:00TruvidfullScreen

Chapter 80 Chapter 42 Alice's flag

Audrey and Alger looked at each other, shook their heads and said, "We don't know."

"A naked man who was crucified upside down with blood on his body?" Alice repeated with a strange expression.

She was very familiar with this image. Isn't this the father of the unlucky child?

Although Alice had long guessed that there was a connection between the True Creator and the Creator of Silver City, she never expected that there really was a statue of the True Creator in Silver City?

"Miss Destiny, do you know?" Derrick heard Alice's question and realized that Alice might have seen a similar image, so he hurriedly asked.

Audrey and Alger also looked at Alice.

"I think you'd better ask Mr. Fool this question..." Alice responded weakly.

After listening to Alice's words, the three of them all turned their attention to Klein in the gray mist, so Klein responded accordingly: "This is the 'Fallen Creator'."

When Derrick heard this, he frowned in discomfort, while Alger and Audrey showed understanding expressions.

Alice pondered for a moment, then added to Derrick: "About the 'Fallen Creator', we have another name, the 'True Creator'. He is in charge of the 'Secret Prayer' path, of which Sequence 5 is the prerequisite. The 'shepherds' who have been there."

After Alice mentioned "Shepherd", Derrick suddenly sat up straight, with obvious astonishment in his eyes.

Looking at Derrick's expression, Alice laughed: "You have a 'shepherd' by your side, right?"

Derrick's expression gave Alice the answer. Alice leaned back in her chair and stopped talking, leaving Alger and Audrey, who were expecting her to find out more information about Silver City, looking at each other.

In the silence, Klein in the gray mist chuckled and said, "This party ends here."

"Your will is our will." Audrey stood up immediately, raised her skirt and saluted, and others followed suit.

After the party, Alice got the latest Russell's diary.

"On January 14, I discovered a problem. If unconscious high-sequence items are not sealed, they will unconsciously attract low-sequence people from the same path to come nearby and intersect. The higher the original sequence, the more The situation is more likely to occur.

"However, this does not appear to be the case all the time, but intermittently."

Huh?

Alice suddenly became energetic after reading this diary.

So, maybe this is the reason why I accidentally encountered the mercury snake? I just don't know who is attracting whom between us...

Isn't that right? If you think about it this way, my life in those three years was too stable, right?

Putting the question aside for the moment, Alice then looked down.

"January 16th, the witch tastes really good."

what?

No, wait, what?

Even though she had some speculation about the temperament of this senior time traveler, this still shocked Alice a little.

After all, as far as she knew, Emperor Russell had copied many famous works describing assassins...

Could it be that he wants to trick more people into taking the "assassin" path and then become a witch?

what?

Emperor Russell, wouldn't you have a mental disorder if you know that the other person used to be a man?

Alice continued reading with mixed emotions.

"On January 20th, I prepared the second blasphemy card.

"Let me think, let me think, where should I hide it?

"Well, I plan to disguise it as a bookmark and put it in a very valuable book. If the recipient is not a destined person, it will be difficult to imagine that the most valuable thing in a very valuable book is actually that An inconspicuous bookmark!

"Yes, this is a good idea!"

The card of blasphemy! Alice's heartbeat accelerated briefly, and then returned to its original speed in disappointment after discovering that Emperor Russell did not specify the specific location.

On the Card of Blasphemy, it is recorded that potions from Sequence 1 can be promoted to Sequence 0. Alice suspected that Sequence 0 potions from different pathways have something in common.

——She needs to figure out what the relationship is between her and the mercury snake's potion.

...

On Monday night, Alice finally met Evelyn, who was said to have "sickened herself to death from the gangsters."

"Are you okay? I heard that you...you encountered some bad things?" Alice looked at Evelin with concern.

Evelyn's complexion was better than Alice expected, and to put it bluntly, she didn't look like she had just recovered from a serious illness.

"Oh..." After Alice reminded her, Evelin quickly remembered that frightening night, and the smile on her face became forced, "That was really scary... I don't want it to happen again. "

I was still a little concerned about what happened that night, but my attitude was quite calm when I mentioned it. It seemed that the church's comfort was trustworthy.

After softly comforting Evelin, Alice quietly led the topic in another direction.

This meeting successfully brought some changes to Alice's night dreams.

When Alice woke up from her dream and sat at the table drawing comics with Briar Rose's face in front of her, she was still a little confused.

...Why did Backlund's Nighthawk come to my dream!

The nighthawk walked into the room with a natural attitude and asked: "How did you and Evelyn Greenland meet?

Alice instantly understood why the other party came to the door.

Evelyn Greenland is still under surveillance, and the church hopes to use Evelyn to fish out the wild Beyonder.

They...they guessed that they and Evelin knew each other!

No, I can't say that I guessed it... In fact, the words she said to Evelin were too straightforward. Coupled with the fact that she followed Evelin, the church should be able to judge that she not only knew Evelin, And Evelyn's fate is affected because she...

Thinking of the speculation about "Justice" and "The Hanged Man" at the Tarot Club, Alice realized that the other party had probably ruled out the possibility of a strong person passing by and attributed the cause to her.

As for what Klein said about manipulating the "world"...ha, if that kind of thing could happen, she would be the true god walking on the earth!

Alice Kingsley replied truthfully: "I met Mrs. Greenland next door when I visited her."

"What's your name?" the other party continued to ask.

"Brill Rose." Alice answered without hesitation.

"Why did you come to Backlund?" the other party asked.

The topic gradually led to areas that Alice was not good at, but in order to play the role of being manipulated in dreams, Alice still answered: "Dad...Dad's business has problems, and mom also..."

Alice allowed herself to show obvious sadness and sadness.

As expected, the other party did not continue with this topic and asked again: "How did you become an extraordinary person?"

　I went to get the New Year's money and came back (eyes moved)
