After accompanying Klein to meet Benson and Melissa, they parted ways. Klein told Alice with some concern: "Contact me if there is anything." Alice went to the bank to withdraw the remaining balance of 200 pounds in her account. As for where the money came from... It was very shameful that Alice was actually paid within the Night Watchers... Arriving at the Enmat Port in Tingen City, Alice spent a huge sum of 10 soli to buy a ticket to the Port of Pritz. As a prosperous port, in addition to tourists coming and going, the Port of Pritz also has many unloading workers. Submerged in the crowd of the Port of Pritz, Alice suddenly felt a little confused: How did the extraordinary person of the "monster" path ensure that he could meet the target and recognize the other party in this situation? After leaving the busiest area of the dock, Alice frowned and began to think about what to do next. "Hi, Miss, is this your first time in Backlund? Do you need a guide?" A small boy noticed the confused Alice and deftly walked through the crowd to Alice. Alice was slightly startled. She looked up and found that there were several children of similar age doing similar things nearby. She suddenly understood the group the boy belonged to. "I'm here to find someone," Alice looked at the boy and made her request, "I'm looking for someone... uh, a mysterious guy waiting for someone here."
This description without information did not defeat the boy who sincerely wanted to make money: "When you say that, I remember it! There has been a weirdo wandering around in Pritz Harbor in recent days, saying that he is waiting for a 'destined encounter'..." The boy's description made Alice silent for a while, and she began to think about the possibility that she would be regarded as a psychopath if she went to find this person. "Are you here to find him?" The boy asked after introducing the situation. So Alice had to answer: "Maybe? Anyway, take me to see it first?" Under the boy's guidance, Alice soon met the extraordinary person of the "monster" path - it was not that she was so sure, but the other party smiled inexplicably when he saw her and said, "It seems that the person I am waiting for is you." Alice felt that she should give the little boy some money to let him leave, and she found a 1 penny coin from her body - thank God, no one searched her body when she was buried. In short, Alice used 1 penny to send away the boy who was called a tour guide but was actually begging, and then looked at the mysterious man: "...So, why are you sure that the person you are waiting for is me?" The mysterious man did not speak, his eyes swept across the crowd around him, and Alice's eyes followed his movement and understood what he meant: they could not chat in such a crowded place. Alice followed a stranger into a closed room with such carelessness, allowing him to set up a spiritual barrier, putting her in a situation where no one would come to save her even if she screamed at the top of her lungs - oh, maybe Mr. Fool could still hear her prayers. Fortunately, this mysterious man was not a bad person. He looked at Alice and said, "Where should I start? Then let me introduce myself first. I am Charlie King, from the School of Life." The School of Life... This term made Alice slightly startled, but for the sake of politeness, Alice also introduced herself: "I am..." She suddenly stopped, this was not her intentional behavior, she just saw a picture: a girl was pricked by a spindle and then fell asleep in a castle. "Sleeping Beauty"... Compared to knowing nothing at the beginning, this time Alice remembered the name of this story, and she certainly understood what it meant - in the beginning, this was how she got her name. However, Charlie King's puzzled look made Alice realize that she didn't have much time to think carefully about a new pseudonym, and it didn't seem appropriate to use her original name directly. She could only speak obediently: "Bryer Rose." "Hello, Miss Rose," Charlie King looked at Alice who didn't continue to speak and asked, "Who told you I was here?" "That's my question too," Alice responded with pursed lips, "Why are you waiting for me here? How do you know that the person you are waiting for is me? You..." Charlie King raised his hand to signal Alice to stop asking questions first: "I don't know you, and I haven't seen your portrait before. In fact, fate didn't tell me to wait for you here - but told me to let the previous Storm Bishop know my location." Storm Bishop? Did he mean the Hanged Man? Alice was stunned for a moment, and combined the information given by Charlie King with the information from the Tarot Club, but she still had a question: "In this case, how did you recognize me?" "Someone entrusted me to negotiate a deal with you," Charlie King's expression suddenly became serious, "He said that when I see you, I will understand that the person I am looking for is you."
"He?" Alice frowned fiercely and repeated this personal pronoun that only belongs to gods and angels. Charlie King did not answer this question. Alice realized that she could not get an answer, so she changed the question: "So what did you understand when you saw me?" "This is the strangest part," Charlie King looked at Alice with interest, "very strange... I clearly felt that I should have seen your fate, I should have seen a lot of things from it, but I didn't remember anything." Alice looked at him in confusion, Charlie King looked back at her, and finally Alice gave up first and looked away: "What kind of deal is it?" Charlie King was silent for a moment, frowned and said: "He asked me to give you the potion formula of the 'Monster' Path Sequence 6 'Disaster Priest'..." "?" Alice looked at him in astonishment. Although Alice's next plan included finding the potion formula, someone came to her with the formula of the next sequence to make a deal just after she digested the potion. Isn't this a bit... For a moment, Alice thought of 0-08, but this was obviously different from the feeling of 0-08 - 0-08 cared about rationality, and most of the things she had experienced since she woke up were unreasonable. "What does He need me to do?" Although she was deeply confused about this, Alice still decided to listen to the content of the deal first. "He hopes that you will help seal a seal one day in the future." Charlie King gave a well-prepared answer. Maybe everyone is more familiar with Princess Aurora when talking about Sleeping Beauty... Yeah, but Aurora has no last name, and the version of Briar Rose has a last name (you)
