I always feel something is wrong... Alice stared at the calm expression of "World" and blinked, then looked away. "Wait until I think about it," she said perfunctorily to "Magician" Fors, "otherwise it seems a bit too hasty to ask you to treat me to ice cream, but I can't think of anything else for a while... Do you really want to buy it with money?" In fact, it's not impossible to buy it with money, as long as there is profit, but Miss Fate seems reluctant... "...If I pay money," "Magician" Fors thought about it and asked tentatively, "How much should I pay?" Alice blinked, stared at Fors for two seconds, and gave an answer: "250 pounds?" "Ah?" Fors thought she had heard it wrong, and looked at Alice in confusion. "Look," Alice sat up straight and introduced enthusiastically, "Spending 250 pounds to buy a 220-pound fortune charm makes you look like an idiot! Do you want to buy it?" Pfft, it can be seen that she really thinks this idea is very good, but it's a pity that Miss "Magician" doesn't seem to understand what idiot means... Klein held back his smile in the gray fog and waited curiously for the response of "Magician" Fors.
"Magician" Fors took a while to understand Alice's words, and then asked carefully: "Miss Destiny, what does idiot mean?" Isn't this a number? Is there any other meaning...From what Miss Destiny said, is it an adjective to insult stupidity? "Stupid, idiot... maybe it feels like this?" Alice tilted her head and confirmed Fors's guess. "Uh," Fors choked, "I, I don't really want to be the idiot you say..." Alice withdrew her gaze regretfully. Seeing this, Audrey, the Justice, interrupted and asked, "Ms. Destiny, why can idiots be used to describe fools?"
Alger, the Hanged Man, Cattleya, the Hermit, and Emlyn, the Moon, all looked at Alice curiously.
"Uh..." Alice paused, "It seems, it seems that I have seen a story in a book before... but I don't remember how the story was said, uh, anyway, anyway, everyone used it that way at the time..."
At that time... was it the time when she was active? I don't know when it was... She claimed that the Goddess of Night had been protected by her, and responded to some records of the City of Silver. She should have come from the Second Age at least, and it is possible that she was earlier... And the time when she fell asleep... eh?
Alger, the Hanged Man, was surprised to find that he didn't seem to have many clues about the latest time when Alice existed.
While he was thinking, Alice turned her head curiously and asked, "Ms. Hermit, don't you know either?"
Cattleya, the Hermit, shook her head.
What does this have to do with Ms. Hermit? It can be said with certainty that Ms. Hermit is the "Admiral of the Stars" and has a close relationship with the "Mysterious Queen" Bernadette... Wait, Bernadette? "Hanged Man" Alger immediately grasped the key figure from this - Bernadette's father, Emperor Roselle. Yes, Miss Fate and Mr. Fool knew the "symbol" "invented" by Emperor Roselle. I had previously guessed that they might have known each other before, and there might be more similar people. This "symbol" is the "text" they use to communicate, but it has been affected by the gods, so it cannot be identified through divination and other means... No, in this case, it is certain that Emperor Roselle descended as an ordinary person, and Miss Fate seemed to be the same at the beginning. Then, Mr. Fool...? "Hanged Man" Alger forcibly restrained his desire to look at the head of the bronze table and stabilized his tight breathing. Miss Destiny said that she remembered nothing when she woke up, and Mr. Fool was the only trace of the past she could find... In other words, Mr. Fool should have recovered initially at that time and was intentionally looking for relevant clues... This also fits my guess at the time. Mr. Fool was trying to get out of a certain dilemma, which should be... Combining the situation of Roselle and Alice, "Hanged Man" Alger looked at the head of the bronze table with a little hesitation. ... A weak body of a mortal? However, Mr. Fool was able to accept prayers at that time, and later he was able to accept sacrifices and give gifts... So He should have taken back the authority at that time and was in the process of regaining it? Speaking of which, did Miss Destiny have this process of regaining authority...? And Mr. Fool seemed to be very familiar with Miss Destiny from the beginning... Since Miss Destiny and Emperor Roselle had both acted as humans, Mr. Fool should have been the same, so... Did Miss Destiny know Mr. Fool in reality? But wasn't Miss Destiny picked up directly by the Night Watcher... And it seems that she has a very close relationship with the Church of the Night? At least he is very close to the Goddess of Night... ... Is Mr. Fool a high-ranking member of the Church of Night in the real world? ! This is not impossible. The attitude of the "world" towards the Church of Night seems to be friendly. As Mr. Fool's follower, his attitude indirectly expresses Mr. Fool's attitude, but... The high-ranking members of the Church of Night are all known... Could it be that they are not the high-ranking members in the open, for example, they directly obey the orders of the Goddess of Night? This can explain Miss Fate... and so on. If Miss Fate had contact with the Goddess of Night at that time, why did she say that the Fool was the only trace she could find? If Miss Fate had no contact with the Goddess of Night at that time, how could she... Oh, I understand! The Goddess of Night must not have contacted Miss Fate directly at that time, but secretly reminded Mr. Fool. Miss Fate contacted the Goddess of Night later! "The Hanged Man" Alger suddenly realized and thought he understood everything. Immediately afterwards, a new question popped up again-why did the Goddess of Night do this? This question had an answer a few seconds later, because he remembered that Alice had said at the Tarot Club that she had asked the Goddess of Night in person if she could transform into a mythical creature so that she could touch it... Thinking that Miss Fate should have done a lot of similar things in the past, it is understandable that the Goddess of Night was unwilling to appear in front of Miss Fate in person. After all, Mr. Fool's choice seemed to be to throw Miss Fate to the "world"... "Hanged Man" Alger looked at "World" Gehrman Sparrow with a look of sympathy and pity, and inexplicably remembered the rumors that had changed several times on the sea. In fact, "World" and Miss Fate seemed to get along quite well... At this time, "Hermit" Cattleya said to "Justice" Audrey: "The spinal fluid of the black hunting giant lizard has been confirmed, 1,800 pounds, and there is no clue about the fruit of the psychedelic wind chime tree for the time being." "This is already very good, better than I expected. Thank you, Ms. 'Hermit'." Audrey thanked sincerely, not caring about the price at all. 1,800 pounds is taken as soon as you say it... Alice, who has never handled such a large amount of money, looked at Audrey enviously. ... Did I really leave money for the present me in the past? ! And fate, can you stop giving extraordinary characteristics all the time and give me a large sum of money to let me see! Alice clenched her fists darkly. After a short silence, Emlyn the Moon suddenly realized that his improvement might not be as obvious as that of other members of the Tarot Club, and asked weakly:
"Do you have any clues about my last commission?" "Magician" Fors immediately said: "There is a suspicious situation, I will track it down." She was full of motivation to do things in a hurry to pay off her debts. After that, it was Derrick the Sun who made the transaction request: "I need the rhizome crystals of the Elder Tree, golden sunflowers, and..." He reported several materials in the potion formula he had just obtained. "The rhizome crystals of the Elder Tree and those auxiliary materials are not a big problem." Emlyn the Moon was refreshed and said, "Then, what can you use in exchange?" When he provided the fruits of the Elder Tree to Audrey the Justice last time, he knew where the rhizome crystals were. "Sun" Derrick thought for a moment and said, "A Beyonder characteristic corresponding to a Sequence 5 vampire?" Alice thought of those grotesque monsters hiding in the darkness of the "Forsaken Land of Gods" and couldn't help wondering: If Mr. "Moon" knew that the Beyonder characteristic he wanted came from such a monster, I wonder if he would still be able to eat it... "Blood race!" Emlyn gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, I'll tell you when I figure out what I want." Alice looked at him and blinked, then suddenly turned to "World" and shouted: "Bald baboon!" "World" turned around and looked at her half a beat later, his eyes full of confusion - after Klein was promoted to "Master of Secret Puppets", "World"'s eyes were obviously much more lively. "Why didn't you react?" Alice frowned in confusion, "Why didn't you emphasize loudly that you are a human like him?" "Puff." "Magician" Fors understood Alice's words first with his excellent associative ability and laughed out loud. In her laughter, "Justice" Audrey, "Hermit" Cattleya, and "Hanged Man" Alger had a vague understanding, while "Moon" Emlyn and "Sun" Derrick were a little confused. In Loen, "curly-haired baboon" is a slang term to describe a person's stupidity, which is roughly equivalent to the feeling of "you were left behind when humans evolved", so those who were not left behind must have evolved into hairless baboons, that is, bald baboons... This word that seems to insult the human group is indeed similar to vampires and blood races in a sense. ...Maybe? In the gray fog, Klein looked at "Magician" Fors, who attracted everyone's attention with his laughter, and was not only glad that he had the extraordinary ability of "Clown". Otherwise, Mr. Fool would be unable to hold back his laughter or slam the table in anger at Miss Fate's words every day at the Tarot Club, which would be too... Klein imagined that scene and couldn't help but take a breath in his heart. ——As the saying goes, there are two kinds of death in the world, one is the extinction of the body, and the other is social death. He obviously doesn't want social death. "Moon" Emlyn didn't quite understand the connection between the two sentences, but he vaguely realized that this was Alice's mockery of him - maybe it wasn't intentional, she probably just thought of it, but that's how it was hurtful enough... He gritted his teeth and looked at Alice. Noticing his fierce eyes, Alice turned her head, hesitated for a moment, and tentatively said: "Uh... I'm sorry?"
This apology was insincere, but "Moon" Emlyn obviously couldn't ask for more. He looked like a deflated rubber ball, leaning weakly on the back of the chair, and responded in a weak voice: "It doesn't matter." Alice blinked, hesitated and asked: "...I'll praise you again...your vampire clan?" "Moon" Emlyn was about to refuse, "The World" suddenly answered: "How are you going to praise me?" Let me see what else she can say...it's not me anyway. Klein looked at Alice expectantly in the gray fog, so Alice tilted her head, held her chin with one hand, and thought seriously: "Hmm...suck...can vampires summon bats?" She blinked and looked at "Moon" Emlyn, who nodded hesitantly. "Hmm..." Alice took the other one up and put it against her chin together, "A bat is actually very much like a mouse with wings, just like an angel is a person with wings..." Klein suddenly had a bad premonition. Just as he was about to stop him, he heard Alice slam the table and say towards "Moon" Emlyn: "I see! "You vampires must be the gods who rule the rats!" She stood up from the chair a little excitedly. "Moon" Emlyn was dumbfounded by her wonderful inference. After more than ten seconds, he looked at "The World" with his eyes blankly and confirmed to him: "Has she always been like this?" Is he asking about Alice's level of logic or how much Alice deserves a beating... Klein silently glanced at Alice, controlled the "world" and answered: "Um. "She's always been like this." Alice blinked, vaguely realizing that there might be a problem with this reasoning at some point, and she sat back down in her seat hesitantly. In the silence, "Magician" Forsi made a suggestion to Alice with a serious face: "Miss Destiny, have you ever considered pursuing a career in literature? Your association skills are perfect for that." "Uh..." Alice paused, remembering Amon who came to the door with a comic book, "No, no, I think if I do this, I might be chased by angels and true gods..." "Ah?" Forsi's eyes were slightly confused. "Justice" Audrey sat motionless in her seat, but her mind couldn't help but recall Miss Destiny's invitation to talk about the gossip about the true God. ...If these are the sources of inspiration, it does seem a bit dangerous!
