28 Miss Destiny's IQ

The World turned and looked at Alice with a puzzled look.

"Rose School…?" Cattleya's eyes flashed with doubt, but she didn't ask any further questions. "Miss Fate, the craftsman fees required to make items with Demigod-level Beyonder characteristics are not cheap. Moreover, it involves the 'Rose School' and 'Prisoner' pathways, which brings more troubles…"

The implication is that prices will increase.

"..." Alice shrank back a little and gave up the idea. "Then you two can talk."

This attitude was very clear. She was just in a spur of the moment situation and actually didn't have a firm idea about the matter - this seemed to be normal.

But Alger, the "Hanged Man", looked at Alice, then looked at the "world", and suddenly realized a problem.

Miss Destiny... is it that she can't contact Mr. Fool's followers? Or, can she only contact the "world"?

The relationship between Mr. Fool and Miss Destiny is not that close? No, it should be said that for some reason, Mr. Fool is still wary of Miss Destiny...

...Because of the phrase "betting on both sides"?

Alger, the "Hanged Man", could not help but glance at Alice again because of this thought, and a very rebellious idea came into his mind.

...Does Miss Fate really have this brain?

Alice turned her head in confusion and met his gaze. He was so shocked that he lowered his head again, not daring to think about it anymore.

It was inexplicable... Alice looked away and continued to watch the fun.

Twelve thousand pounds was not Klein's desired price. He had lied about the price. His ideal price was eleven thousand pounds. If it was a little lower, ten thousand pounds would not be unacceptable - but any lower would be unacceptable.

The wealthy "Hermit" lady was obviously not the "Justice" lady who didn't bargain. After Alice chose to keep silent, she thought for a moment and asked,

"Can I use some of the gold coins as a substitute?"

At sea, it is much easier to obtain gold than gold pounds.

Cattleya calculated silently for a while, and then tried to bargain:

"4,000 pounds worth of gold coins, plus 6,500 pounds in cash. If you agree, we'll make a deal."

This is certainly not her bottom line price.

Klein thought for a moment and did not raise the price. Instead, he added another thing as a price tag:

"... and help her sell the extraordinary properties of that 'puppet', how about that?"

The sea means wider channels. This should not be a large commission, but the "Rose School" seems to be too involved. The "Hermit" Cattleya looks embarrassed.

Alice reached out and touched her chin.

Seeing this, Klein stopped making things difficult for Cattleya and changed his mindset:

"Then add another thousand pounds—in cash or gold."

"Five hundred pounds." Cattleya tried to bargain.

"Deal." "The World" made the final decision, and the transaction ended here. The "Lucky Balance" was sold at a high price of 11,000 pounds.

Without pausing, Klein looked at Alice and suggested,

"You can take your time... I asked two people for you. They are willing to buy it, but they can't come up with the money right away.

"You should know who I mean."

Who are you referring to...?

Alice blinked and remembered Miss Sharon, whom Klein had once hired.

She had never met Sharon in person, or rather, they might have met but never spoke.

That lady is a "ghost", and it is said that she has been promoted to a "puppet". She also has a "zombie" friend...

Are you referring to both of them?

Hmm, they seem to be related to the "Rose School"... Well, it seems that they are indeed not afraid of offending the "Rose School". After all, they are already being hunted down.

Alice waved her hand to show that she understood.

Solving two problems at once, The World laughed hoarsely,

"The Beyonder characteristics I just mentioned, this is the section that Miss Fate mentioned, is anyone interested?"

No one spoke. After a brief pause, The World mentioned the second magical item:

"The second item is the 'Biotoxin Bottle'..."

He used relatively concise language to describe the brown translucent glass bottle that materialized, focusing on the characteristics of several toxins, the time they take effect, ways to prevent them in advance, and the negative effects of carrying them with you.

This was not a magical item suitable for the "audience". Audrey listened to the whole thing. Although her heart was still beating fast because she wanted to buy everything she saw, she managed to hold it back with great difficulty.

This was the big client that Klein was looking forward to the most. He finished speaking patiently but didn't hear Audrey's voice, so he could only say,

"5,200 pounds."

Audrey bit the inside of her lower lip with her teeth and shook her head politely,

"I hope to obtain a more offensive magical item."

As she said this, she couldn't help but glance at Alice.

The early "audience" approach lacked direct attack power and could only influence the enemy in various ways, which was very frustrating to Audrey at the beginning.

The early abilities of the "Monster" path were also very humorous. As one of the founding members of the Tarot Club, Audrey knew how helpless Miss Fate was in the early days - if her enemies were unlucky enough to fall to death in front of her, then she would be helpless.

"5,200 pounds." Alger, the "Hanged Man", Forn, the "Magician", and Emlyn, the "Moon", all repeated the price in a low voice at the same time, without any more extra thoughts.

"5,200 pounds..." Cattleya paused for a moment, then quickly added, "For me, it's not necessary."

Alice glanced at Cattleya silently.

She knew who Cattleya was thinking of. The "biological toxin bottle" and the "toxin expert" Frank Lee fit in very well. And Frank Lee...

Thinking of Frank Lee, whose first reaction after learning that she was an angel was to ask for her flesh and blood for experiments, Alice shook her head.

Klein, who didn't sell anything, concealed his disappointment. After thinking for a while, he let The World speak again:

"I have a copy of the Book of Secrets, which is a book on mysticism left by the 'Witch King' Karaman of the Southern Continent. It is suitable for mid-sequence Beyonders with a good foundation.

"The price is 1,000 pounds."

Alice couldn't help but look up at Klein.

Unlike orthodox educated Beyonders, Alice's knowledge of the occult is in a state of being sporadic. You can't say that her basic knowledge is solid or lacking, nor can you say that her mid- to high-end knowledge is solid or lacking, and it's not a problem of discontinuity.

——Just like Klein said, she always knows what she needs to know.

"...You want to see it?" The World asked hesitantly and doubtfully.

"No, don't." Alice quickly shook her head and rejected the suggestion.

Audrey looked at the "world" excitedly.

In any case, it is definitely worth buying the book. Audrey, who has received long-term instruction in the Tarot Club, already has a solid foundation in mysticism. What she lacks now is this advanced knowledge.

Later, the Psychological Alchemy Society should also teach me some high-level mystical knowledge, but it will definitely not be comprehensive and will be limited to the spiritual realm... Audrey simply convinced herself and nodded slightly,

"This is exactly what I want."

The Magician Fors was also very interested, but when he thought about the money on him, he shut his mouth silently. As for the other members, they were not lacking in similar knowledge.

As expected of Miss Justice, she didn't bargain at all. My bottom line is actually only 800 pounds... No, there is no bottom line at all. Knowledge is not something that can only be sold once... Klein happily let The World laugh softly and said:

"make a deal."

"However, I must remind you that you must never pray to the 'primitive moon'. This will turn you into a wriggling piece of meat that mates crazily with different species and gives birth to all kinds of children. Of course, you can't pray to other hidden beings either. This is also very dangerous."

Alice hesitantly looked up at Mr. Fool who was sitting at the head of the bronze table, then turned around and questioned The World:

"Are you sure you're not scolding me?"

"Of course not." The World denied without hesitation.

This undoubtedly exposed how she met or recognized Mr. Fool. Audrey, who had long guessed this, twitched her lips slightly, then revealed her original smile, looked at the top of the bronze table and said,

"When the secret ceremony is held, I will only pray to Mr. Fool."

She spoke sincerely, without a trace of falsehood. After Alice heard it, she did not hesitate to expose her words:

"You prayed to me before."

"...This is Mr. Fool's suggestion." Audrey tried her best to keep smiling.

Miss Justice really admires and trusts The Fool. She even gives such a dangerous suggestion... Klein glanced at Alice and couldn't help but feel moved.

But after being moved, he couldn't help feeling a little ashamed, because the domain of "Poseidon's Scepter" and "Original Moon" did not overlap much, and for some rituals, he could not complete the most effective response. He could only try to mobilize a little power feedback from the mysterious space above the gray fog.

Then, as the Fool, he expressed his attitude:

"very good."

At the same time, having initially achieved his goal, he asked The World to casually say,

"I have another copy of the Interrogator Beyonder characteristic for only 1,200 pounds."

He didn't even include this little thing when he reported the items just now.

How many items does he have... "Magician" Fors looked over in surprise.

In any case, the fact that Gehrman Sparrow relied on Miss Fortune who was by his side was completely cleared in the Tarot Club - no one thought that Gehrman Sparrow would call on Miss Fortune for help even to step on an ant.

Although this was what Xio needed and Fors wanted to buy it for him, she finally looked away, considering Xio's financial situation and remembering that Xio did not have the potion formula he needed.

At this moment, she couldn't help but think of Alice's fortune charm again.

Can't I really buy it?

Fors glanced at Alice secretly and sighed in her heart.

Seeing no one respond, "The World" coughed and said, "I don't have any more deals."

As soon as he finished speaking, Alger, who had been waiting, looked at Cattleya, the Hermit, and said:

"I want to know where there are Obnis sea monsters that don't belong to the Church of Storms."

The Obonis sea monster that does not belong to the Church of Storms? Alice glanced at Alger, the "Hanged Man", and made the first reliable suggestion since the tarot meeting:

"You can ask Mr. Fool."

This was indeed a good idea, because Klein had the "Scepter of Poseidon" in his hand. Even if he didn't know, he could ask the fish in the sea to find out where his relatives usually lived.

The Hanged Man Alger also knew this. He did not refuse, but said, "If you need me, I will."

The Obonis sea monster that doesn't belong to the Church of Storms? Is the "Hanged Man" really not a member of the Church of Storms? "Hermit" Cattleya frowned for a moment, then relaxed:

"I'll help you find out, and we'll talk about the price after we have a definite clue."

"Okay." Alger exhaled silently.

The scene was silent for a few seconds. Seeing this, Emlyn the Moon said to Fors the Magician:

"I will give you the 100 pounds clue fee today."

"Thank you." Magician Fors said in a not very happy tone.

She had just been hit by a series of transactions worth thousands or tens of thousands of pounds in "The World", and now she was a little out of shape.

Emlyn the Moon immediately turned to look at Derrick the Sun.

"We have the Elder Tree root crystals and auxiliary materials you requested.

"Give me a list of the monsters and resources around Silver City, and I'll pick out a few items of comparable value.

"Well, they cost me two thousand pounds, and my fee of two hundred pounds, which makes a total of two thousand two hundred pounds."

Alice glanced at Emlyn the Moon, who honestly stated his reward, and then at Alger the Hanged Man, who always only stated the total price, and shook her head.

"Okay, uh, thank you, Mr. 'Moon'." "Sun" Derrick was delighted and expressed his gratitude sincerely.

That's what she agreed to... Alice couldn't help but look at "The Moon" Emlyn again.

She didn't think Emlyn was trying to trick her by asking for the monster list, or rather, she suspected that Emlyn had no intention of tricking her at all.

Of course, there is also the possibility that he has no brains.

Of course, "Sun" Derrick did not have this awareness. He quickly materialized the list and handed it to "Moon" Emlyn.

After flipping through the list, Alice heard Emlyn say in a guilty voice:

"This, this, and this..."

He really didn't know... Alice glanced at Emlyn and felt an inexplicable sense of superiority. She straightened her chest slightly and secretly felt proud in her heart.

"Sun" Derrick took note of it carefully, saying that he didn't need to go back to Silver City, as he could collect all these items around the town in the afternoon.

"You haven't left Afternoon Town yet?" Alice asked in surprise after hearing Derrick's answer. "Speaking of which…did your chief expose you?"

She paused and added what she heard from the Chief:

"The Chief did retain his memory during the cycle." (End of this chapter)

29 Roselle is giving birth

"No..." Derrick shook his head. "I've already told the Chief that I got the Notary's potion formula while cleaning up the monsters in the afternoon town."

"Huh?" Alice blinked.

"What was his attitude at the time?" asked Alger, the Hanged Man.

"He just said 'very good,'" Derrick replied.

"...Don't you two feel embarrassed?" Alice asked sincerely.

It was a very strange situation—the Chief knew that there was something wrong with Derrick, and Derrick knew that the Chief knew there was something wrong with him, but neither of them said it.

Alice looked at Derrick with a puzzled look, waiting for him to speak out his inner feelings. However, Alger, the Hanged Man, seemed not to have heard her and chuckled.

"You can rest assured. Your 'Chief' is happy to see you grow like this. In comparison, he will be more wary of the 'Shepherd' elder."

He did not continue the topic, but instead threw out a piece of news to all members:

"Recently, many pirates have been to Bansi Harbor and found that it has been completely destroyed. Even if it is rebuilt, it will take several years."

This was news that everyone already knew last week, so no one responded to it.

Seeing that no one spoke, Alger glanced at the "world", retracted his gaze, and said calmly,

"It's your turn."

Alice blinked and found that no one else had any news to say, so she raised her hand and said:

"Next... well, I don't know how long it will take them to write the new holy book, but anyway, I will probably become the new saint of the Church of Evernight."

"?" Audrey was the first to turn her head and look at Alice.

She immediately dropped out of the "audience" state, her eyes full of shock, because she remembered a guess she had made not long ago.

Mr. World is helping Mr. Fool take care of the child, and Mr. Fool is helping the Goddess of Night take care of the child. Mr. World is Mr. Fool's favored one, so...?

This speculation that Audrey had originally thrown aside was once again pulled out from the corner of her memory, and then thrown back - how could such a thing be possible?

In comparison, Audrey was more willing to lean towards another possibility. She was more willing to believe that there was some kind of cooperative relationship between Mr. Fool and the Goddess of Night, and Miss Fate was the symbol of this cooperative relationship.

Although she felt in her heart that Alice could not support this symbol of cooperation.

Audrey was not the only one who was shocked. The more knowledgeable and experienced "Hanged Man" Alger and "Hermit" Cattleya also vaguely sensed another problem.

If you count them carefully, Alice has done countless things that offended the gods. Not to mention Mr. Fool, as for the others, just from what they know, Alice has done two major things - one is pretending to be an angel under the seat of the "real creator" in front of Him, and the other is declaring that the goddess of night is her favored one.

Even if the True Creator's condition was so bad that he couldn't do anything to her, and even if the Goddess of Night had really been her favorite in the past, the attitudes of these two seemed too indulgent.

And the gods that Miss Fate had offended... were these the only two?

These were just the true gods. If we count the angels and the angel kings, then...

The most important thing is that Miss Destiny probably can't defeat any of the people she offended.

But she is fine until now, and no one has even taught her a lesson.

Too friendly... The "Hanged Man" Alger and the "Hermit" Cattleya's eyes passed over Alice, met inadvertently, and then retracted.

"Sun" Derrick didn't feel much about this, mainly because he had no idea about the Goddess of Night.

"Moon" Emlyn and "Magician" Fors were also amazed, but they didn't think too much about it. Emlyn was not good at thinking, and Fors had no relevant experience.

The World, or Klein, who had known about this for a long time, would not ask any more questions. At the end of this topic, Audrey, who had just finished dealing with the issue of the Followers, asked a question:

"Miss Destiny, in this case, if we go to the Church of Night to seek help in the future, is it possible that we will meet you?"

When questioning, she secretly made up her mind that if Alice answered yes, she would do everything she could to stop her family from going to the Church of Night for help in the future.

This is too dangerous.

"Normally, no," Alice shook her head. "You know, a saint in the church is usually very busy and won't go on a mission easily. Do you know what a saint in the church usually does?"

"What?" Audrey asked curiously.

Alice glanced at Audrey with a smile, and explained in a gentle voice,

"It's nothing, actually. I just need to come to the church on time to handle some church affairs, such as reviewing various applications from branch churches in the area under my charge, things like the transfer of Sealed Objects, personnel transfers, and promotion arrangements, as well as statistics on Extraordinary events and Extraordinary people in the area, communicating with other churches, etc...."

"?" Audrey's expression gradually became dazed as she listened to the long list of things Alice reported.

The Hanged Man Alger looked at Alice with a look that was half shocked and half confused. He knew that Alice was telling the truth, but he was very puzzled - was the church really willing to leave such a matter to Miss Destiny?

This doesn't sound like a job for a kid.

The Hermit Cattleya had a similar mentality. If the fact that Alice had gone from being an angel under the Fool to a high-ranking member of the Church of Evernight in the blink of an eye was shocking, then the fact that the Church of Evernight allowed Alice to handle these matters was terrifying.

——I always feel that the area under Miss Destiny's charge will become a very dangerous place.

This was obviously what Audrey was thinking. She carefully asked Alice:

"Ms. Destiny... In that case, which area are you in charge of?"

...Is it too late for me to move now?

"Uh..." Alice hesitated.

Of course she knew that the Archbishop was in charge of certain areas. This was written in the internal files of the Night Watchers. She knew these things, but the problem was... she just said it casually, and she didn't know which area she was in charge of!

After all, she is not responsible for any area.

"The goddess hasn't assigned me an area to be in charge of yet," Alice shook her head with a heavy expression, "just like the goddess hasn't paid me a salary or pension."

The Hanged Man Alger and the others began to analyze Alice's words as usual, and finally realized that the saint that this lady of destiny was was most likely just a decoration.

They realized that Miss Destiny was probably different from other saints. She didn't receive a salary, didn't go on missions, and didn't perform daily work - she was really just a decoration.

Alger, the Hanged Man, resisted the urge to look at the head of the bronze table, because he remembered his speculation at the beginning of this Tarot Club—Miss Fate might not be able to contact Mr. Fool's other followers.

She seemed to know only "the world".

Alger certainly would not consider the possibility that Mr. Fool had no other followers, so Alice's status in the Tarot Club and in the Church of Evernight were in a sense the same - she only knew one follower in "the world" and could contact Mr. Fool directly, but she didn't know most of Mr. Fool's plans...

From what we know, Miss Destiny doesn't even know Mr. Fool's recovery, and Mr. Fool has never entrusted Miss Destiny with any important tasks...

In the Tarot Club, Alice seems to be no better than a decoration.

The Hanged Man Alger suddenly understood. At this moment, he thought that Alice might be a symbol of cooperation between the two sides, and he immediately felt that it was a lot more pleasing to the eye.

Such a precious existence that does not provide any information is indeed suitable as a symbol of cooperation.

In this way, although Miss Destiny has offended many people, it is easy to understand why she has not been in trouble so far.

After all, as a symbol of cooperation between the two parties, nothing can happen to her before the cooperation is completed or broken.

They chatted for a while, and the Tarot Club ended. Alice did not leave the gray fog, but sat quietly there. After the other figures disappeared, she asked Klein,

"Are those three pages of the diary not simple?"

Klein didn't say anything. He just placed the three pages of the diary in front of her, and Alice lowered her head to read the diary.

"February 9th is Bonois' birthday. He is already a healthy, strong, honest and kind young man. He is so pious that he is valued by the church.

"Everyone was congratulating me, saying that Bonois would definitely become a favored one and a holy spirit, praising his faith for being so pure and flawless.

"I should be happy, but I feel an irrepressible sadness in my heart. I hope my children can be more human, more emotional, and more like themselves, rather than believers in gods.

"But almost everyone sincerely believes that Bonois is in a good state now. Matilda thinks so, Charles thinks so, my nobles and my ministers think so too. Only Bernadette feels the same as I do. She told me privately that she thinks people should be more self-centered as long as they don't hurt anyone.

"Thinking of those words Zaratul said when Bonova was born, and the increasing premonitions I had after entering the demigod realm, my heart became even heavier. Lovely angel, hehe, you are really a lovely angel.

"Is this how you defend yourself from me?

" "Is this how you try to control me?"

"No, you probably can't understand the pride in my heart. In my opinion, what's the use of gods? I can replace them!"

Alice paused oddly.

More than one person has mentioned her lack of reverence for gods. As for the reason, Alice initially thought it was because she grew up in a godless world and lacked the concept of gods. Later, she realized that perhaps she was once an existence very close to the existing gods, or even an existence higher than the existing gods.

She shouldn't have had any fear of the gods.

Now it seems that the former guess is not wrong - these "time travelers" do not seem to take the gods seriously.

Of course, this could also be Emperor Roselle's personal problem.

As for the problem of the angel Borov, Alice had guessed it a long time ago. She was not too surprised, but realized that Emperor Roselle probably broke up with the Steam Church because of this.

However, the attitudes of the other people mentioned in the diary made Alice feel uncomfortable - she thought, if someone told her that she should be proud of being the "Key of Light", then she would definitely kill that person with her own hands and tell that person that he should be proud of herself for killing him with her own hands.

Alice continued reading.

"On February 11, we tried to contact Zaratul again but to no avail.

Ever since I got the Antigonus notebook, the leader of the secret society has appeared less and less frequently. I don't know what he is secretly planning, but he will definitely not tell me."

"On February 12, I made a magical item for Bernadette that was perfect for her.

"This can effectively help her avoid the nagging of the 'Hidden Sage'. As long as she doesn't actively pray and ask for a response, well, this thing seems to be able to help the saints enter the God War Ruins in the easternmost part of the Sonia Sea, without being affected by the murmurs of the 'True Creator'. There is a high probability that the secret of the 'God-forsaken Land' is hidden there.

"Ha, I just made a small gift for my daughter, and it has such a powerful effect. Bernadette, your father is indeed the best craftsman in the world!"

The most outstanding "craftsman"... Alice realized that this was probably the reason why Bernadette was able to enter the Sea of ​​Ruins freely. When writing this diary, Emperor Roselle probably already had at least Sequence 2 - otherwise he would not be called the most outstanding "craftsman".

Alice put down this page of the diary and turned to the second page.

"On October 5, several followers of the 'Original Moon' were captured by the black-clad organization I founded, and were unable to complete the corresponding sacrificial ceremony.

"Some of the things they showed made me curious, and it seemed like the powers they had were really directly derived from the Crimson Moon.

"Unfortunately, a large amount of data shows that this red moon is really a satellite and it really is orbiting our planet. So, how does it combine physics and mystery?

"With my current abilities, it's not impossible for me to go to the Red Moon. It will just be troublesome and difficult, but it doesn't seem necessary."

Alice looked up with near horror.

Of course she knew what was on the moon - except for the goddess, the one holding the symbol of the crimson moon, the other two were beings she couldn't afford to offend.

She swallowed hard and asked Klein for confirmation, "Emperor Roselle...didn't he go to the moon?"

Without waiting for Klein to answer, she took another breath and added:

"If Emperor Roselle really went to the moon, then he may not be dead now. He may just be...

"Giving birth." (End of chapter)

30 Public Dormitory

"...?" Klein looked at Alice with eyes full of shock and confusion.

He couldn't tell what he felt for a moment. In fact, he instinctively thought about the possibility that Alice was joking, because the topic of having children had been brought up repeatedly by Alice during this period of time.

But he quickly denied this speculation.

It was possible that Alice was joking, but her jokes often came true in strange ways - so it was very likely that Emperor Roselle was really giving birth to a child.

Is it authority related to fertility? Desire? Or a further, more direct authority...

The moon is related to a deity with relevant authority? Hmm, it should be an evil god...

Anyway, this at least shows that there is something wrong with the moon in this world... No, she also told me to be careful with the stars before, so, there must be something wrong with the entire sky in this world...

Klein frowned and looked at Alice. After considering for a moment, he asked a question:

"Can I know about this?"

This is what he should confirm.

After all, judging from Alice's previous performance, the secret hidden in the sky above their heads seems to be something that cannot be known unless there is an angel.

Ellie answered without hesitation:

"Probably not.

"However, if it is later confirmed that Russell Armstrong did successfully land on the moon and return, then he would be forgiven for being crazy.

"After all, he might still be imprisoned somewhere giving birth to a child.

"…Does this count as imprisonment… Ouch!"

Because of Alice's sudden thought, Klein reached out and knocked her on the head without hesitation, causing her to hold her head and glare at him.

In order to prevent himself from being soft-hearted, Klein turned his gaze away from her misty eyes before commenting,

"Russell Armstrong...what a good name."

Alice immediately forgot her grievances and raised her chin proudly.

Klein didn't let her feel proud for too long. He pointed at the diary and reminded her,

"Finish reading."

Alice lowered her head obediently.

"On October 7, I finally made up my mind.

"I will try to switch to the similar 'Mystery Voyeur' path. Only in this way can I become a Sequence 1.

"I have always suspected that the Hidden Sage was originally a conceptualized uniqueness, but later, due to some accident, it developed intelligence and fully awakened. Therefore, the Sequence 1 position of this path is most likely still vacant!"

Alice raised her head again.

"In other words," Alice looked at Klein and asked, "I am now a kind of 'Hidden Sage'?"

"Although this seems to be correct…" Klein looked at her helplessly, "But this is not what I want you to see."

"...?" Alice blinked.

She carefully recalled what happened during and after Klein read the diary, including the questions asked by the Hermit Cattleya at the time.

Alice suddenly had a guess. She put down the page in her diary, took out the third page and asked thoughtfully:

"This was written by Emperor Roselle when he was mad in his later years?

" "He must have been so emotional at the time that his power was out of control... This page of the diary is contaminated!

"That's why Bernadette chose these pages of the diary and asked that question!"

——Only in this way can Bernadette find the reason for Roselle's madness without understanding Chinese.

However, there could be another possibility. For example, as the daughter of Emperor Roselle, Bernadette actually knew the time when Roselle wrote each diary...

This is certainly a possible reason, but in Alice's opinion, through this method, Bernadette can more easily judge the time when Emperor Roselle went crazy, but she may not be able to judge on which page of the diary the reason for Emperor Roselle's madness appears.

Unless she thought that the Fool already knew about this - but the Fool was still collecting Russell's diary, and Alice had admitted that this was a language they used to communicate.

People would never guess that the Fool needed to obtain occult knowledge from Roselle's diary, so it could only be for a more secret reason, such as the truth behind their coming here, or the reason why Roselle went crazy in his later years.

So Alice tends to think that in Bernadette's eyes, the Fool is someone who has some guesses about the reasons behind these things, but still needs to be investigated.

Unless Bernadette really found Klein from Tingen City during the investigation against her, and connected Klein from Tingen City with Sherlock Moriarty from Backlund, and finally associated Klein with the Fool himself.

There was really no other way, so Alice had to consider the possibility of murder to silence the witness.

While some immoral thoughts were going through Alice's mind, Klein had already confirmed her guess in surprise:

"Yes, how did you know?"

"It's very simple," Alice briefly summarized her guess. "What else can it be?"

"?" Klein looked at Alice in confusion. Alice ignored him and lowered her head to continue reading the diary.

With just one glance, Alice realized that she had guessed correctly.

This diary is different from the previous ones. It has no date, the spacing between the words is large, and the handwriting is heavy, but these are not the most important things.

There is a certain power remaining in this diary, a power from the spirit and emotion attached to the words, polluting those who read it.

The good news is that the page of the diary that appeared above the gray fog was not the original one, so this power was like duckweed without roots. After causing harm to Klein once, the remaining power was minimal.

What's more, Alice, who is an angel, will not be affected.

Alice simply felt the existence of this power through her keen spiritual intuition, and she looked at the contents of the diary thoughtfully.

"No! Impossible!

"How could this happen!

" "If my guess is correct, I was not the only one who had such an experience!

" "No! No! How could this happen!

" "What I saw told me that everything will be destroyed, including everything I created! No! I will not accept such an ending!"

"We must work hard to save ourselves and stop pinning our hopes on the Seven Gods!

"Only by ascending to the throne of Sequence 0 can I and those I value be saved!

"Should I try to pull Mr. Door back to the real world? No! Although He claims to be only Sequence 1, I believe that He is definitely not an ordinary Sequence 1! He is likely to bring me unexpected disasters!"

Alice let out a slow breath.

"It turns out that Bernadette made the right choice regarding these pages of the diary," she said to Klein.

Even though he had already read the diary once and had some guesses in his mind, Klein still stretched out his hand to signal Alice, wanting to hear her thoughts.

This is Miss Destiny after all - although the information density of her speech is sometimes even lower than that of Roselle's diary, you just can't ignore a single word.

Because you never know which nonsense or joke will come true in the end.

Alice blinked and gave her first guess: "An experience like his, does it mean time travel?"

"I think so too," Klein replied.

This is actually not difficult to guess, because the teachings of the "Ancient Sun God" have a very high duplication rate, which in a sense exposes the identity. Add to that Roselle and Klein, and Alice whose situation is yet to be determined, there are already four "travelers" in this world whose authenticity is yet to be determined.

Besides, they all knew that an Earth civilization existed before the First Age. Although Alice's memory seemed to have been tampered with and her intuition might have been guided, there was evidence in the real world.

The authenticity of this matter has been basically confirmed, and it always sounds much easier to travel from a past civilization that has been sleeping to the present than to travel to another world.

All they had to figure out was where they had been sleeping during this time.

Thinking of this question, Klein subconsciously turned back to take a look at the long staircase.

As early as when he was promoted to Sequence 6, that staircase had already appeared above the gray fog, but until now, he did not have the ability to climb to the top of the stairs and push open the door. He suspected that he would have to wait until he was promoted to Demigod.

"What's wrong with you?" Alice asked him, blinking.

Klein didn't say anything. He looked at the stairs again and then asked Alice a question:

"Can you open that door?"

As soon as he asked the question, he knew it was nonsense - because every time Alice came above the gray fog, she needed his permission, so he knew very well that Alice had never tried this before.

As expected, Alice shook her head and asked him in confusion:

"I haven't tried it...what's wrong?"

Klein pondered for a moment, looked at Alice, and put forward his hypothesis:

"What do you think, is there a possibility that behind that door...

"Public dormitory?"

When he thought about this, Klein felt an inexplicable sense of terror.

But this matter seemed particularly reasonable. After all, it was normal for him to sleep in his own castle - even though he was not the owner of the castle.

Alice quickly ruined the mood:

"Wait a moment.

"If it's a public dormitory, how many people should be in it? Are there male and female dormitories? What's the accommodation like?

"It can't be a youth hostel, right..."

"?" Klein began to look at Alice with a puzzled look.

He had to admit that this was not the first time Alice had focused on some strange questions that were difficult for him to understand, but every time he heard similar questions, he didn't know how to answer.

Alice stared at him. After more than ten seconds, she blinked and took the initiative to change the subject:

"Hmm... The Emperor should have Sequence 1 by now, and it should be Sequence 1 of the Secret Peeper pathway.

"The knowledge imparted by the Hidden Sage brought pollution, and the diary he wrote brought pollution... Well, their abilities matched, and they both released viruses.

"Everything will be destroyed... Has he seen the end?

"Well, speaking of which..."

Alice thought of "Cassandra" who she had almost forgotten.

The book that calls itself "Cassandra" and likes to run around seems to have an honorific name, and there's a similar line in it.

"Tell me," she suddenly asked a question that had nothing to do with the previous topic, "What does a prophet see that can be called staring into despair?"

Klein frowned and looked at Alice. Although he didn't understand how Alice's train of thought jumped to that point, he still answered:

"...An irreversible ending?"

He chose that word carefully, rather than the end of the world, because he remembered Alice's earlier words - that a prophet should die because of his own prophecies.

He suspected that this statement had come true.

"The ending cannot be changed..." Alice frowned and lowered her head.

How can this be achieved?

Alice actually knows the answer. She only needs to "predict" an "end", and then all the people involved in the incident - mainly the dead - will be gone.

As long as all the dead see this "prophecy" and believe in it without reservation, all of this can be said to be "unchangeable".

For example, everyone in the world who has the ability to fight against the end of the world believes that the end of the world exists...

Of course, at least so far, Alice still believes that the end of the world is real, because this is not news brought by a "prophecy", it is more like some kind of inevitable development.

The topic changed too quickly. Klein glanced at Alice and tried to shift her attention back to the diary:

"What do you think of Mr. Door?"

"I don't know," Alice answered honestly, "I have never spoken to Mr. Gate, but from Emperor Roselle's description, I remember one thing."

"What?" Klein asked in confusion.

Alice carefully chose her words and replied,

"According to Emperor Roselle's description, Mr. Door seems to be a very lonely person - at least that's what He calls himself.

"Mr. 'Door' claimed that he hadn't spoken to anyone for a long time and just wanted to talk to someone, so he would answer anyone who came to him and asked questions, right? That's what he said, right?"

Although this included Alice's personal understanding, the general idea was indeed like this, so Klein did not correct it and nodded.

"That's right, that's right."

Alice smiled and said to Klein:

"Like I said, I haven't spoken to Mr. Door in person, but I have chatted with another High Sequence who answered all my questions and had a friendly attitude.

"It should be said that he is the King of Angels—if Mr. Gate is not an ordinary Sequence 1, then he should also be the King of Angels.

"This way, it makes sense. They are both angel kings, and they are both friendly and willing to answer any questions... Do you know who I'm referring to?"

Klein had a vague guess in his mind, but he was not sure. He asked as if to confirm, "Who is it?"

Alice smiled and gave her answer:

"Of course it's my closest friend, the great Angel of Time...
