96 Prelude

"?" Anthony couldn't help but look back at Alice. He felt as if he had heard something extremely blasphemous - as evidenced by the night air.

Alice stopped and stood there with her hand covering her mouth.

Anthony stood there stiffly. He now deeply regretted not stopping Alice from coming down with him, although he didn't think he could stop her.

Fortunately, covering her mouth worked. The night faded away in silence. Alice breathed a sigh of relief, put down her hand, looked around alertly, and then said to Anthony:

"Let's go."

This is not something I can interfere in... Anthony opened his mouth, gave up warning her, and turned away.

Returning to the upper floor, Anthony said to the others vaguely: "The intruder may indeed have died due to contact with the seal."

After mentioning this matter vaguely, he did not give any explanation and instead ordered:

"No matter what, this matter must be investigated thoroughly. The intruder may have accomplices!

"Being able to sneak into St. Samuel's Church without causing any noise means that the target is very familiar with this place, the recent rotation rules of the internal guards, the handover process of the 'Night Watchers', and has the ability or items to change his appearance. In addition, he also got help from the extraordinary person who holds the holy relic of the Night Path, or it belongs to him himself.

"Combining these conditions, check whether the servants and priests have encountered any subtle spiritualism or induction, check whether the bishops have betrayed the goddess, check the believers who have been coming to the church recently, and check the neighborhoods where those believers are located. Maybe they didn't leak it intentionally, but it was stolen by someone. As for you, I will investigate.

"Also, find the missing servant and see if there are any clues."

"Yes, Your Excellency the Archbishop." Sost and other Night Watchers deacons responded at the same time.

While Anthony was talking, Alice could feel Leonard staring at her. He seemed to have associated something with his familiarity with the interior of the church and the Night Watchers. When Soest reorganized the team and prepared to leave, his eyes would still fall on her from time to time.

Alice knew what Leonard was thinking of. It was easy to guess—no one would be more familiar with this place than the former "Nighthawk".

She thought for a moment, then turned and walked outside. She stopped when she passed Leonard, raised her eyes and smiled,

"If you want to ask me about that matter, I told you what to do."

After saying that, she turned and left without giving Leonard a chance to ask questions.

Leonard's pupils shrank slightly and he wanted to say something, but Alice was very fast and turned the corner in a few breaths.

Leonard had to give up this idea. Turning back, he saw Captain Soest and his colleagues looking at him, so he lowered his head and asked,

"Where were we talking about just now?"

…

After returning home, Alice observed Klein out of habit, and quietly shifted her attention after discovering that his class today was philosophy.

She sighed at the rich man's hard work and curiously began to explore Audrey's life.

Audrey was in the study, and Alice found her playing the piano. After Alice listened to half of the song, a maid pushed the door open.

"Miss," the maid bowed to Audrey, "your evening dress for your birthday party tonight is ready. Do you want to try it on now?"

Alice was stunned for a moment. She remembered that Audrey had invited her to the birthday party last night, and suddenly changed her mind.

——She plans to go and have a look.

"Leave it there," Audrey replied, "I'll try again after lunch."

The maid who got the answer retreated again. Alice hesitated for a moment and did not tell Audrey now. She decided to sneak over there at night.

Having made her decision, Alice turned her extra attention away from Audrey.

…

At the Pulitzer Harbor Ticketing Center, a man in a classical black robe and a pointed hat stood at the door, but the flowing crowd passed through this figure as if there was no such person at all.

"He" pinched the monocle on his right eye, raised the corner of his lips and asked:

"Tingen City, right?"

This is Amon.

Will Auceptin, who was forced to acknowledge such a "mother", had given up struggling at this moment. Previously, in that suburban manor, Amon had told him a fact:

"To be honest, I don't care which of you two can become a god... I just want a godhood ceremony, you know why, right?"

Based on this fact, Will Auceptin presented part of his bargaining chips to Amon. He handed over the suit of Sherlock Moriarty and Klein Moretti behind him to Amon, but hid it from Gehrman Sparrow and Dwayne Dantès behind him.

He bought his own peace in exchange - or rather, Amon, who had more important things to do, had no time to care about Him.

As for whether Amon really didn't care who of them became a god, Will Auceptin believed it, but not completely, because of his understanding of this path.

——Amon may really not care, but Will Auceptin firmly believes that, like fate, he always takes sides.

However, Will Auceptin guessed that the deification ceremony must be true. After all, the deification ceremony of the "wrong" path was there, and it was an obvious fact.

…

In a wild forest, Selwyn Muggeridge slid down with his back against a tree.

A book with a dark blue cover fell from his hand to the ground and opened naturally. Silver words appeared on it:

"You have obtained the Beyonder characteristics of the 'Witch of Pain'. Next, you only need to perform a ritual to be promoted to Sequence 5."

About four months ago, she took the "Assassin" potion under Sylvia's inducement and became a Sequence 9 Beyonder.

At first, she thought this was the exciting life she had always longed for and pursued. She thought it was the key to a new and different life, until she found out that she had been deceived.

The cloaked girl appeared in front of Selwyn, who was still "him" at that time, and told her that the Cassandra she met was a hateful liar. She also told her that this potion would indeed bring her great adventures and unprecedented experiences, and that the book Sylvia was holding should be the real Cassandra.

Selwyn saw the book again after a while. The book appeared in front of her, calling itself Cassandra, and said that she had been used by Sylvia. The hateful liar used the name "Cassandra" to cheat and hurt many people.

It wanted to stop it, but it was powerless, after all, it was just a book.

Selwyn believed this easily because "Cassandra" explained to her why the "Assassin" potion would bring her an unforgettable experience - the sequence 7 of this potion was called "Witch".

At this point, the 22 extraordinary paths became known to her, and "Cassandra" felt deeply sympathetic towards her and suggested a remedy.

This mysterious book told her that she could choose to be promoted to "Iron Knight" at Sequence 4, which would turn her back into a male.

Selwyn accepted this, and under the guidance of Cassandra, she obtained a copy of the Beyonder characteristic of the Witch, swallowed it in one gulp, and became a Sequence 7 Beyonder, and also became a woman.

At the same time, the whispering that had been lingering in her ears since she became a Beyonder became more and more profound. Sometimes Selwyn could even feel that her hair was about to escape her control and turn into snakes with bared fangs and claws.

Cassandra said that this was normal and that every low- to mid-sequence Beyonder would face this problem. Only a Sequence 4 Demigod could truly resolve this issue. Apart from this, the tranquilizers from the Pharmacist pathway could slightly alleviate the situation, but it could not be cured.

After hearing this, Selwyn wanted to speed up her advancement even more. "Cassandra" advised her that it would be better to advance after mastering the power of this path, otherwise the extra power would make her unable to adapt. However, she was eager to become a man again and refused this.

So "Cassandra" led her to find another extraordinary characteristic of "Witch of Pleasure". At this point, she has been promoted to Sequence 6.

Nightmares and mumblings plagued her. She began to suffer from frequent insomnia and headaches during the day and night. In the midst of such pain, she could not wait to ask for the direction of Sequence 5.

Cassandra told her that the promotion to Sequence 5 was not the same as before. When she reached Sequence 5, the last threshold close to demigod, she needed to hold a promotion ceremony to be successful.

Fortunately, the promotion ceremony of the "Witch of Pain" is not difficult. She only needs to burn in the flames for a quarter of an hour and take the potion in pain to become a Sequence 5 Beyonder.

Next, she can prepare to be promoted to a demigod. By then, she will not only be able to turn back into a man, but also get rid of the current pain...

Thinking of this, Selwyn laughed happily.

…

160 Böklund Street, master bedroom.

Klein was not as casual as he appeared in front of Alice during his nap. He "returned" to the town of Mizhen again and saw the "Witch of Despair" Panatia, who was smiling sweetly with bloody flesh-colored silk hidden between her teeth. He saw her being hoisted up little by little, her eyes rolled back in despair, and her head drooping.

The densely packed hanging corpses, the terrifying giant mushrooms, and the countless transparent worms twisted into a ball appeared one after another, waking Klein from his dream.

Rubbing his temples, Klein felt that his mental state was not very good, and this was not a problem of spiritual pollution that could be solved by the gray fog.

He pondered for a while, then went into the bathroom, came to the Grayquake, manifested Gehrman Sparrow, and asked him to pray:

"Please tell Miss Justice when she is available. I would like to receive psychological treatment."

Audrey, who had already tried on the dress, received the message. The uneasiness and worry in her heart immediately disappeared, and her mood completely calmed down.

It's nothing! Well, then, Miss Destiny won't really show up at my birthday party tonight...

Now Audrey regretted her invitation. She was afraid that Alice would have a sudden whim at the birthday party and cause some big trouble, thus ruining her coming-of-age ceremony.

Then I will definitely become Backlund's laughing stock... Audrey sighed and prayed in response:

"...Please tell Mr. 'World' that I have been busy lately. He will determine the time and place. Well, as long as it is not at night and is not more than a few districts west of Backlund..."

Within two minutes, Audrey received a reply that the "world" was above the gray fog today. After a brief shock, she raised the question of why supernatural powers could not be used above the gray fog.

Soon, she got another answer:

"...I will ask Mr. Fool to lift the restrictions in this regard and use other methods to conceal the true appearance of both parties..."

In the real world, Audrey couldn't help but be surprised.

Audrey actually knew that the supernatural powers could be used above the gray fog. Even if she didn't look at Alice, Cattleya's eyes were enough to explain it.

However, Audrey had never expected that someone would ask Mr. Fool to pass on messages so frequently, and even ask Mr. Fool to remove the restrictions in this regard.

…Is this the special treatment for the Favored?

Audrey thought of Miss Destiny above the gray fog. Although Alice could not be considered a Favored in the conventional sense, Mr. Fool's attitude towards her could indeed be described as indulgence. And Audrey knew that Miss Destiny treated the "world" very intimately.

...Is it because of Miss Fate?

This was the most likely guess. Audrey didn't want to believe that Mr. Fool would indulge every follower like this—otherwise, that would be too conscientious. This was simply unheard of!

…

Before the ball started, Audrey changed her clothes with the help of her maid.

The process of changing into an evening gown for the banquet was complicated and far beyond the ability of one person to handle. In addition to the personal maid Anne, there were three other maids to help Audrey change into the dress.

Alice looked at this extravagant scene, shook her head, and whispered in Audrey's ear:

"Happy Birthday~

"But there probably won't be any more presents."

Alice's brisk voice rang in her ears. Audrey was startled and stopped moving. Her personal maid Anne asked in confusion:

"What's wrong, miss?"

"Nothing." Audrey smiled and continued to change her clothes as if nothing had happened.

I hope Miss Destiny won't do anything too outrageous… She prayed weakly in her heart.

On the other side, when Alice was about to find something to eat, she keenly discovered Susie who was hiding aside as a "spectator". After a moment's thought, she appeared in front of Susie.

"...?" Susie looked up at her with her big watery eyes.

Alice squatted down and unceremoniously reached out to touch Susie's dog head and rubbed its ears. Then she sighed and muttered,

"Why is there no hair... Wow, Susie, will you become a human in the future? If you become a human, will you be hairless?"

Susie was silent for two seconds, then said calmly:

"I don't know.

"I'm just a dog." (End of this chapter)

97: Be able to bend and stretch

Let's not talk about how Audrey found out her dog was kidnapped. Anyway, after helping Klein solve his "creeping hunger," Alice fell into a deep sleep.

Dreaming was not normal for angels, but Alice seemed to be dreaming a lot lately - like tonight.

She dreamed of the first time she woke up in Tingen, when she knew nothing about the world, and at the very beginning, she took literacy classes with children who were much younger than her.

Alice didn't like this experience very much because her classmates were much younger than her. The same was true for Alice in the dream. She didn't like this experience and couldn't wait to end this learning experience.

Her wish finally came true. Now that she knew enough words, she could start the next stage of learning, but...

When the teacher and classmates pushed up the monocle on their right eye and looked at her with a smile, Alice jumped out of bed in fright.

When she realized it was just a dream, she breathed a sigh of relief, but then frowned even more tightly. She realized that there were two intentions in the dream that she didn't want to connect together.

——Tingen and Amon.

This didn't seem like good news. Alice clenched her fist and put the blame on Will Auceptin.

There is no doubt that this matter must be related to Him.

She didn't care that it was still midnight, and woke Klein up without hesitation, telling him the news she had received in her dream:

"Amon is going to Tingen!"

This was not the first time Klein had experienced being woken up. He woke up from his dream and frowned the first moment he heard the news.

It was not realistic to continue sleeping. Klein came up from the gray fog and called Alice up. When her figure solidified, he asked:

"What's going on?"

Alice then told her dream.

This is one of the rare dreams that Alice narrated in its entirety, and the greatest credit goes to Sefirah Castle, because Alice can project dreams.

After listening to her story, Klein came to a conclusion that was not too far off from hers. However, there was one thing that he couldn't figure out:

"Why is Amon suddenly interested in Tingen?"

"It must be because of Will Auceptin!" Ellie said without hesitation.

Klein fell silent. He frowned and thought for a moment before asking:

"I remember you told me before that Will Auceptin might have made a deal with Amon using my information..."

Alice certainly remembered this, but there was one thing that confused her:

"But why Tingen?"

"I have a guess," Klein said after careful consideration, "Will Auceptin may not have told me all the news. He probably didn't tell me about my current situation, but only mentioned the past."

Alice was stunned for a moment, and soon understood why Will did this:

"He wants to find something for Amon to do!"

This fits the strategy against Amon, because Alice knows that if it were her, she would do the same.

Klein nodded, agreeing with this point of view, and then said:

"So, as long as there is new news about me appearing somewhere else..."

Alice blinked her eyes, straightened her back without hesitation and said:

"I see!

" "There can be news about you appearing somewhere else. Anyway, you have a 'trip', so you can appear and disappear openly!"

"Then, what we have to do is to pass this message to Amon before he does anything..."

Klein shook his head and reminded her:

"But before that, we have to make sure Amon won't do anything."

You're right, this is a big problem. Alice pursed her lips, and after a few intervals, her memory stayed on the one-sided encounter between Amon and Evelyn.

"No," she suddenly calmed down, "Amon doesn't want to be my mortal enemy...so I just need to let Him know that I care about Tingen City enough, and He won't really do anything."

After a two-second pause, she raised her eyes and said to Klein:

"In fact, we don't necessarily have to let Klein Moretti reappear. Will Auceptin definitely didn't tell the truth when he faced Amon, at least not the whole truth.

"Perhaps I can try to stir up Amon's anger towards Will Auceptin, and let Amon focus on Will Auceptin first, such as sending Him back to the 'God-Forsaken Land', to His original body..."

…

After chatting with Klein, Alice returned to the real world. After pondering for a moment, she picked up a pen and wrote a letter at the desk.

This letter was different from the letters she had sent to Amon in the past. Alice only wrote two short sentences in this letter:

"You know I have been in Tingen for quite a long time...right?

"The guy in your belly also knows it."

The letter was delivered to Amon through a ceremony. In the early morning, Amon leaned against the street, looking at the busy figures in the church of night from afar, and smiled.

He raised his head and turned the monocle on his right eye, and a moment later, a piece of paper appeared in his hand.

That was the letter Alice had sent. Amon, holding the letter, smiled and shook his head, then asked the other person:

"What should I do? She doesn't seem to want me to take action in Tingen City."

Will Auceptin was silent for a moment, and couldn't help asking:

"…You care about her feelings?"

"That's only one aspect," Amon said leisurely with a smile, "On the other hand... Will, are you really telling the whole truth?"

He deliberately emphasized "all".

These words already revealed some problems. Will Auceptin remained silent. Amon smiled and lowered his head and said:

"Perhaps we should ask you something back... Do you really want us to be enemies, Will?"

…

Alice also did not leave Leonard behind.

Her relationship with Leonard was not good enough for her to wake him up in the middle of the night. Fortunately, Leonard was a Beyonder from the Path of the Insomniac and often appeared in St. Samuel's Church at night.

Alice caught Leonard who was still asleep. He was playing "Fighting Evil". It was his turn to play a card, and he was the "evil".

Alice saw that he was about to make a bold move with a bomb - some people might call it a gun, anyway, it was just four of a kind.

After using up the bomb, he only had a 3 left in his hand.

Although she hadn't played this game with others for a long time, Alice still remembered that 3 was the smallest card in the game of Landlord - now it should be called "Fighting Evil".

But Alice immediately noticed that there was a bigger gun outside - if he went out like this, Leonard would definitely lose.

After hesitating for a second, Alice decided to follow the principle of looking at the cards and not talking, and watched Leonard lose.

The game of cards, the outcome of which was already determined, was quickly concluded. Alice appeared beside Leonard while they were shuffling the cards. Without even looking at the others, she went straight to Leonard and said:

"I have something to tell you."

Leonard was slightly stunned, and Alice continued:

"Very quickly! Just one word! I'll let you go after I shuffle the cards!"

Leonard looked at her, then at his poker partner, and followed her out.

When they reached a deserted corner, Alice immediately said to Leonard impatiently:

"Don't go back to Tingen recently. Amon is over there."

Leonard's pupils suddenly contracted.

Having stayed with Pales day and night, although he was not familiar with Amon, he knew that he was a dangerous and bad-tempered angel king. For a moment, he couldn't help but worry like Alice.

"Tingen City..." Leonard asked with a frown.

"I don't think He will do anything too extreme," Alice shook her head. "At least, Amon won't want to become my mortal enemy before finding a more reliable replacement."

She didn't say what the replacement was, so Leonard subconsciously asked:

"Alternatives?"

Alice smiled but didn't respond.

After all, he was not a young man who knew nothing. Leonard realized that this was not the question he should ask. He took a deep breath, closed his eyes and said:

"I see."

…

A week passed in a flash, and Alice spent most of the time doing nothing until three o'clock on Monday afternoon when she heard "Justice" Audrey's "Good afternoon" at the Tarot Club. She was shocked to realize the passage of time.

"Good afternoon," she nodded in response.

Audrey did not stop there. After Alice, she still had many people to greet. After she finished greeting everyone, Alice blinked and looked at the "Hermit" Cattleya.

This time, Ms. Hermit finally did not disappoint. She pushed her glasses, stood up, and saluted to the head of the bronze table.

"Mr. Fool, there are three pages of diary this time."

Finally... Alice turned her head curiously and asked her:

"Have you contacted Bernadette?"

"...Yes." The Hermit Cattleya nodded.

Alice leaned back in her chair. It was time for the Fool to read. No one disturbed her, except Alice who felt a little bored.

When he saw the word "hometown" in the diary, Klein had a guess in his mind. After reading the diary, he asked Cattleya:

"What's your question?"

How did Mr. Fool know that I wanted to ask a question instead of making a request... As expected of Mr. Fool... Cattleya changed her mind and spoke respectfully:

"Mr. Fool, the Queen once asked Miss Destiny…"

Alice raised her head.

Cattleya continued without changing her expression:

"…The meaning of 'hometown', at that time, Miss Fate told her that what she could return to was her home, but what she couldn't return to was her hometown."

After she finished speaking, Klein looked at her in silence for two seconds, then glanced at Alice and said:

"She's right."

The Hermit Cattleya exhaled and continued:

"Miss Fate said something about 'hometown'..."

Klein looked at Alice again.

Alice frowned and said to the Hermit Cattleya bluntly,

"Just say what you want to say."

Sensing that her patience had almost run out, Cattleya stopped laying the groundwork and asked directly:

"I want to know, you, Miss Destiny, or someone like that, have you ever met Emperor Roselle in the past?"

Klein was slightly stunned, and Alice kicked the leg of the bench impatiently:

"I don't know."

Klein paused for a moment, but ultimately did not stop her. He realized that letting Alice impatiently fool around might be the best solution—because he had no idea what Alice had said to Bernadette.

After cursing Alice in his heart, Klein smiled and said to the Hermit Cattleya:

"It seems that fate doesn't like this topic."

After that, like Alice, he no longer paid attention to the Hermit Cattleya, leaned back in his chair and said:

"You guys get started."

Cattleya paused for a moment, then sat down in silence.

She actually asked... However, it was indeed too offensive, no wonder Miss Fate was angry... "The Hanged Man" Alger turned his eyes away from "The Hermit" Cattleya and turned his head to look at "The World" Gehrman Sparrow at the bottom of the long bronze table:

"Your magical item is almost ready, and it will be given to you this week."

He was referring to the magical item corresponding to the extraordinary characteristic of "Ocean Singer".

The "craftsman" had previously completed the gloves for Miss "Justice", and the commission for "The World" was postponed to this week.

The World nodded and said, "Not too slow."

Not too slow... If it takes another two or three weeks or a month, will you teleport over to visit me? "The Hanged Man" thought Alger with an inexplicable sense of vigilance.

Because the initial plan was to obtain the "Disaster Priest" potion from the Storm Church, and he had just started digesting the "Ocean Singer", he did not purchase the corresponding extraordinary materials, returned to silence, and watched the transactions of other members.

Seeing that no one spoke for a while, Emlyn the Moon turned his gaze towards the Sun and asked carefully:

"I need a sequence 5 artificial vampire Beyonder characteristic. What do you want?"

Alice slapped her head and blurted out, "Oh, I forgot about you again!"

Emlyn hated himself for speaking just now. He wanted to slap himself while shouting:

"Miss Destiny..."

He considered it, trying to say it in the least offensive way possible: You've forgotten it so many times, so why not just forget it.

But Alice took the initiative to bring this up:

"Maybe fate doesn't want me to target you in this way... Well, it seems that maybe I will need your help in the future?"

She looked at Emlyn thoughtfully.

Emlyn the Moon paused for a moment, then quickly realized that this was his chance. He responded immediately:

"Miss Destiny, if you need anything, please feel free to call me!"

"Sun" Derrick looked at "Moon" Emlyn hesitantly, but in the end he said nothing.

"Justice" Audrey kept smiling and turned her eyes away from him without leaving a trace.

The Magician Fors couldn't bear to watch any further. With her rich imagination, she always felt that Emlyn the Moon's expression revealed an inexplicable flattery, so she also looked away.

Alice's mouth twitched, she held her forehead with her hand, and praised with mixed feelings:

"Mr. Moon, you really are...flexible." (End of this chapter)

98 Identity

Emlyn the Moon always felt like he was being scolded. He felt like something was wrong. But when he thought of Alice in front of him, he gave up his defense and changed the subject:

"Have you thought about the compensation you need?"

These words were directed at Derrick, the Sun. Derrick was stunned for a moment and said:

"Uh... the formula for the 'Sun' pathway sequence 5 potion."

Sequence 5 potion formulas are very difficult to buy, with prices ranging from 4,500 to 7,000 pounds, depending on the urgency of the buyer and seller, as well as the price of authenticity verification... Just as Emlyn the Moon was about to agree, he heard Mr. World's hoarse voice:

"I have."

For a moment, the palace that looked like a giant's residence was silent, and all the members of the Tarot Club seemed a little numb. Alice asked in surprise:

"Is this also one of the gains from your divination... your divination?"

Alice swallowed the "Eternal Sun" and asked in a more tactful way. The change of words was very obvious, and "Justice" Audrey and others couldn't help but start to wonder what she originally wanted to say.

Alice had no interest in answering questions. She stared at the "world" with burning eyes. Klein manipulated the "world" in this atmosphere and nodded:

"That's right."

Emlyn the Moon promptly asked, "How much?"

After calculating Emlyn White's financial situation, Klein asked World Gehrman Sparrow to laugh and say,

"5,000 pounds, 'Priest of Light' potion recipe."

5,000 pounds? Emlyn was stunned for a moment, then he spoke without hesitation:

"make a deal!"

The World looked accustomed to this and nodded, "Okay."

Then, he saw Audrey "Justice" looking around and heard the girl say,

"I have an investigation mission to entrust."

Investigation mission... Klein's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and the expression of "World" Gehrman Sparrow became a little dull.

Investigation mission? Alice turned her head curiously.

"What investigation mission?" Magician Fors took the initiative to ask.

In her impression, Miss Justice's commissions are all relatively simple and well-paid, so she must accept them if she can!

Audrey "Justice" organized her words and said,

"Two things happened in Backlund recently. One is the suspected frame-up of Baron Sinderras, and the other is the attack on Macht, a member of the House of Commons, for air pollution control...

"In both cases, there is a wealthy businessman named Dwayne Dantes. He has only been in Backlund for about two months and has just donated shares worth more than 10,000 pounds to the Church of Evernight in an attempt to establish a scholarship fund for the poor.

"I would like someone to investigate the true situation of this gentleman."

"Poof!" Alice couldn't help laughing out loud, "Dwayne Dantès, poof, hahahahaha, ahahahahahahaha burp."

Her laughter was undisguised. Even a fool could tell that she was an insider. Klein gave Alice a warning look in the gray fog. Alice smiled and raised her hand to make an "OK" gesture. Then she stopped laughing and said to Justice Audrey,

"Do you know? I almost became Dwayne Dantès, or Dwayne Dantès's daughter."

"Huh?" Audrey looked at her with a confused look.

Alice spread her hands and said:

"Perhaps Mr. Fool or Mr. World should tell you this... Um, Mr. World?"

She turned her head towards the "world".

Alice's laughter successfully stopped the "magician" Fors from thinking about Mr. "World", and her subsequent words revealed a shocking possibility, which made Fors feel horrified by her previous thoughts.

The others also had some vague guesses. They realized that Dwayne Dantès was most likely a fake identity of the "world" Gehrman Sparrow, and they all looked over.

As everyone watched, the "world" spoke in a low voice:

"Dwayne Dantes is an identity."

After a brief thought, Klein decided to define Dwayne Dantes as a public vest rather than a simple "world" - to prevent Tarot from being exposed if Leonard comes one day.

Besides, he didn't want to leave the impression in the minds of the Tarot Club members that the Fool only had one Follower - Alice didn't count.

Dwayne Dantès is just an identity? Audrey, Justice, looked thoughtfully at the unfinished World.

Then, she heard the World, Gehrman Sparrow, simply say:

"The identity that my companions and I share.

"I occasionally disguise myself as him."

Having said that, he glanced at the "magician" without any emotion.

Magician Fors felt as if she was struck by lightning. She froze and was glad from the bottom of her heart that she had not voiced her doubts about Dwayne Dantes' kidney and prostate.

Audrey suddenly understood what Alice had just said and confirmed her guess - at least part of it.

After a brief moment of bewilderment and shock, most of Audrey's emotions quickly subsided, leaving only excitement.

Apart from the "magician" Fors whom she introduced to the club, this was her first time meeting other members of the Tarot Club in reality!

"It feels like history is being written at this moment! Well, Mr. 'World' and Mr. 'Fool's' other followers, er, they should also be considered the 'World', why did they come up with the identity of Dwayne Dantes, what exactly do they want to do?

"The false accusation of Baron Sindras, the poisoning of Councillor Macht, and their donations to establish a scholarship fund are really more complicated and more important than I expected... Why do I suddenly feel that the upper echelons of the kingdom are beginning to become uneasy? I had this feeling when the great smog incident that killed Prince Edessak occurred, and it is even stronger today.

"Now that I know Dwayne Dantes' identity, I may be able to participate and cooperate indirectly to reduce the risk of my parents being affected and the risk of innocent people dying…" Amidst her thoughts, "Justice" Audrey quickly made a decision, which was to agree to her father's request to join the "Loen Charity Student Aid Fund" established with donations from Dwayne Dantes. Then, she muttered in her heart:

Isn't it reasonable for the charity fund established by Mr. "World" of the Tarot Club to be joined by "Justice" of the Tarot Club?

At this moment, Alger the Hanged Man and Cattleya the Hermit were not too surprised that Dwayne Dantès was the World, the collection of Mr. Fool's followers. The most common thought that flashed through their minds was:

Big things are going to happen to Backlund!

Alice glanced at Klein thoughtfully. Even though she knew that Klein had not told the whole truth, she did not expose him.

Emlyn the Moon sat up straight and asked innocently:

"What is this public identity used for?"

Alice turned her head and looked at him in surprise.

You ask so many questions, why don't you investigate it yourself… Klein criticized Emlyn White in his heart, and let the dummy "World" laugh softly:

"Of course.

"It remains to be investigated."

This ambiguous attitude clearly meant that he was unwilling to speak. Although Emlyn the Moon had no emotional intelligence, he more or less understood what the World meant at this moment. He laughed dryly twice and stopped talking.

Seeing this, Audrey, the Justice, took a second to control the corners of her mouth that were about to rise, and then said to Gehrman Sparrow, the World:

"Okay, I see, thank you for letting me know."

At this moment, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that joining the "Loen Charity Student Aid Fund" was a good thing. If she really encountered any risks in the future, or something she couldn't handle, she could just notify Mr. "World" in advance, and then go to the foundation normally and get busy next to Dwayne Dantès.

Well, if the Psychological Alchemy Society has doubts about me, or uses a mission to test me, I will arrange a meeting with them at the Foundation... The image of Dwayne Dantès is completely different from the image Mr. "World" showed above the gray fog. Well, Mr. "World" is an experienced disguiser...

Also, Dwayne Dantes is a public figure, not always equal to German Sparrow, no wonder there are rumors that he has a wide range of preferences in women...

A crazy killer and adventurer like Gehrman Sparrow would definitely be more appropriately paired with a pure and innocent girl... No, wait.

Audrey suppressed the image of Miss Destiny in her mind and dared not think any further.

Alice looked around and asked Justice Audrey:

"I'm a little curious.

"Where is the commission you were planning to pay?"

Audrey paused suspiciously for a moment before she remembered the style of this lady of destiny. She remained silent for two seconds, glanced at the expressionless "world", and asked hesitantly:

"I intend to pay 500 pounds for the investigation. How do you and Mr. World intend to split it?"

This meant that he wanted to pay. Klein felt a little happy. He looked at Alice under the cover of the gray fog. Alice ignored his expectant expression and turned to Audrey and said,

"It's very simple.

"You can give him a gold coin as a souvenir and give me the remaining 499 pounds."

The expectation and gratitude in Klein's eyes disappeared as he looked at Alice, and turned into suppressed anger.

This… "Justice" Audrey instinctively looked towards "the world".

"Hand in half," The World said firmly.

Alice glanced at the world unhappily, but nodded and agreed.

"...Okay." "Justice" Audrey couldn't tell how she felt for a moment, and just agreed to it.

The World, Gehrman Sparrow, nodded and stopped talking about Dawon Dantes. He turned to the Sun, Derrick, and asked:

"Do you have any tricksters or evil spirits there?"

The World paused, then added:

"Perhaps you call it by another name. Anyway, it is good at camouflage, has strange abilities, is close to the level of a demigod, and has a main eye with a lot of special features..."

Alice's expression slightly changed. She knew that Klein was collecting the main ingredients for Sequence 4 potions. It was not until this moment that she realized that Klein had unknowingly approached Sequence 4 and was approaching the existence of a demigod.

Of course, the most important thing is that he is almost catching up with me!

Alice was very unhappy about this fact. She couldn't wait to return to real life and take the Sequence 3 potion, but then she remembered that she didn't have any auxiliary materials.

...How about I just eat the characteristics?

Alice lowered her head and fell into deep thought.

Auxiliary materials are not necessary for promotion. As long as you have the ritual and the main materials, you can be promoted even without the auxiliary materials. Alice is very experienced in this regard.

Alice's ritual had already been completed in a way that she did not understand. If she wanted, she could take the extraordinary properties of "Chaos Walker" at any time.

"Sun" Derrick thought for a moment and said:

"It's not found among the common monsters, but maybe someone has encountered one before. I'll look it up in the information or ask for you."

Alice glanced at Derrick, frowned slightly, and decided to keep trying. If there was still no clue by the time Klein got the main materials, then forget it.

...It's so annoying, why do they upgrade so quickly?

Alice slumped down in dissatisfaction.

The dummy World said "Hmm" to end the conversation. Then, the Magician Fors said:

"I need the cursed object and residual spirituality of the ancient vengeful spirit."

She had made this request more than once at the Tarot Club, but unfortunately, the result this time was no different from before, and still no one responded to her.

She was the last person to propose a deal. Then, the Tarot Club's deal session ended and the free exchange session began. Alice raised her hand and said lazily:

"Amon's focus has shifted away from Backlund."

Everyone in the Tarot Club breathed a sigh of relief. Although most of them had never met Amon, Alice and Derrick's descriptions were particularly terrifying. When they heard that such a guy was around them, they were all a little panicked.

Alice looked at their expressions, stroked her chin and said:

"There was an interesting incident in the Church of Night this week."

She spoke with a smile. Emlyn the Moon and Derrick the Sun looked over subconsciously, while Alger the Hanged Man, Audrey the Justice, and Cattleya the Hermit had a bad premonition due to their past experiences and their bodies tensed up.

Fortunately, what Alice said this time was indeed something interesting even to ordinary people:

"You know the Chanis Gate of the Church of Evernight, right? Well, it's where the Sealed Objects are stored.

"Just this week, a shameless thief broke into Chanis Gate, walked around and walked out without taking anything.

"The Church of Darkness is angry and terrified about this. They are investigating who did it, and many people have been investigated."

The world followed up with this sentence: "I was also investigated."

Audrey looked at Alice, hesitant to speak. When she heard about this, her first reaction was that Alice did it, but she rationally did not ask, but looked at the head of the bronze table, hoping to judge by Mr. Fool's reaction. (End of this chapter)
