Okad Federation.

Floating Sand City.

The two legendary mages sat opposite each other. One is a middle-aged man with messy hair, hooked nose, sallow complexion, and eyes like torches, and the other is black-haired and black-eyed, wearing a robe with a papal pattern.

"Sit," in front of his subordinates, Speaker Nicholas always had an aura of not being angry and arrogant, but in the face of his old friend in front of him, he seemed very easy-going, "Come, drink." ”

"Hmph......" Speaker Nicholas personally poured wine for himself, and the black-haired and black-eyed man "Prison Master" unconsciously showed a smile on his face, "This kind of good wine, Nicholas, you have been generous once today." ”

"Prison Master," Speaker Nicholas laughed, "usually you are in the Donoz Sea, and I am in Floating Sand City, and it is rare to see you once. Since you're here, how can I not entertain? ”

The so-called Donoz Sea...... It is the largest inland lake on the mainland and the seat of the headquarters of the Holy See. The "Prison Master" is the only legendary arcane spellcaster in the Holy See.

"Nicholas, I don't like your territory," the "prison master" Ragnar shook his head, "If it weren't for the face of that holy son, I wouldn't have bothered to make a trip." ”

The "Prison Master" drank the red wine from the crystal wine glass. Speaker Nicholas just picked up the glass and took a sip.

"The Son can enter the Holy See," said Speaker Nicholas, "and you have to thank me." Without him, you would not have the means to counterbalance the new saint. ”

In the age of clouds, priests prayed to the sea of clouds, and the sea of clouds responded to the believers on behalf of the deity who created it, giving them magical powers. Most priests have to go through a long period of practice to master the power of divine magic, but there are also a very small number of people who originally had nothing to do with divine magic, but suddenly received the favor of the sea of clouds and mastered extraordinary magical powers!

"Holy Maiden", at the moment of being chosen, is the darling of the sea of clouds. It took hundreds of years for the Holy See to finally grasp the law of selecting some of the "holy women" in Yunhai, and kept the candidates for "holy women" within the Holy See. Occasionally, however, ...... Yunhai will still choose someone outside the Holy See to suddenly give strength. For example, this time, Yunhai ignored the candidates prepared by the Holy See and made Melia, who had nothing to do with the Holy See, a saint.

"Is it really just a coincidence?" The "Prison Master" shook his head slightly, shaking the wine glass in his hand.

"Why not?"

"She has been under your command for several years, from a small soldier to a general......" The "prison master" said coldly, "With her martial arts alone? Seriously, isn't she really your experiment? ”

Speaker Nicholas was expressionless.

"As a soldier, he participated in all the major battles and won the final victory, four times he killed the enemy's main general or captured the enemy's banner in the chaos of the army, seven times he encountered messengers and scouts on patrol, and twice he was seriously wounded and escaped death," the "prison master" said coldly, "and in only one year, he accumulated merit and was promoted to general." As a general, he also made several miraculous achievements, although he was injured and dyed once in the battle before the battle, and was captured once, but in the end he was still safe and sound, and the battles he participated in were also victorious. It's just ...... Luck was extreme. ”

"This is my record for you," Speaker Nicholas laughed, "Whoever looks at it, this female general is just a good general." There are many such people in our army, but when luck runs out, it is also the day they die on the battlefield. ”

"But Melia's 'luck' is useless," the "Prison Master" said slowly, "I am good at asserting that I have added a little bit to her magic ability test. I didn't expect much, but the result was ...... It was beyond my expectations. ”

"It seems that her 'luck' has really been favored by the sea of clouds." Speaker Nicholas smiled.

The "prison master" stared at the crystal wine glass in his hand: "Do you want to hear the conclusion directly, or the data, Nicholas?" ”

"Take what you want, Ragnar," said Speaker Nicholas, "I guess you're not going to tell me all. ”

"Melia's 'luck' can directly affect some of the probability events she participates in. It is not an illusory luck, but it can be directly manifested in concrete phenomena...... That's the conclusion. ”

"Please."

"Nicholas...... Have you ever been exposed to 'gambling'? ”

"The weakness of human nature," Nicholas grimaced, "I don't like it." The officers and men in the army are quite fond of playing dice and the like. ”

"Then let's talk about the dice."

"Is it used as a test for 'luck'?" Nicholas laughed.

"In the initial test, Her Excellency threw the six-sided dice a hundred times, and the probability of all six points appearing was close to one in six. 150 rolls of 12 dice, with a probability of 1 in 12 of the 12 points appearing. Roll 200 dice 200 times, and the probability of the point appearing is also in the normal range. It is not possible to detect any signs of 'luck-grabbing'. ”

"And then?"

"The results of the experiment changed when the test changed to 'compare the size of the dice with another control subject'. Her Excellency threw the six-sided dice 100 times, of which only twice for 'one point' and nineteen for 'six'. ”

"Oh?"

"Twelve dice are rolled one hundred and fifty times, of which only one at one point and twenty-one times at twelve o'clock. Twenty-sided dice were rolled 200 times, zero times for 'one point', only once for 'two points', and twenty-two for 'twenty points'. The result was a landslide victory in points. Changing the rules of the game to the player with a small point wins, Melia's probability of winning has not changed. ”

"The odds of winning are completely abnormal."

In another test, Melia guessed the result of a coin toss fifty times, and 36 of them were correct. Guess the result of someone else's six-sided dice 60 times, and guess 19 times. ”

"I think you've come to a conclusion, Prison Master."

"There are several different hypotheses."

"Say you're more sure."

"Her 'luck' was influenced by some external force. will let the outcome of events turn in her favor. ”

"It's just speculation."

"Of course, I can't put Her Excellency under house arrest for experimentation. In the most probable case, she can only influence the development of events if they are related to her own interests. And whether this perception of 'interests' is her own cognition, or the judgment of 'sea of clouds', cannot be investigated for the time being......"

The "prison master" paused: "...... There was a special find, though. ”

"Please."

"We've changed different people and her, including myself and Her Excellency Eternal Blood. We didn't reveal each other's identities to Melia and Eternal Blood. ”

"Tell me the result."

"The results of the experiment...... It was only when she played against the 'Eternal Blood' that Her Excellency's points returned to the level of ordinary people. However, the luck of 'Eternal Blood' is at the level of ordinary people, and there are no ups and downs in probability. ”

In that moment, there was a flash of ecstasy on Nicholas' face.

Sure enough, the soulless can break ......!

"This is indeed your experiment, Nicholas." "The prison master" said coldly.

"No, I'm glad that even the darlings of the sea of clouds have dead ends that can be broken," said Speaker Nicholas, "and by the way, Melia has asked me to resign. But I haven't allowed it yet. ”

"If you want to keep your alliance with me, Nicholas," said the Warver, "you'd better exchange your reciprocal information sooner rather than later." ”

"Rest assured, 'Warlord,'" said Nicholas, "you will soon have a copy of my report. ”

……

Watching the "prison master" leave, a smile appeared on the face of Speaker Nicholas.

"It seems that this Miss Melia," Speaker Nicholas shook his head and smiled, "is not for a soldier or a priest, but for a gambler." ”

Before taking the test, Melia didn't have a deeper understanding of her own specialness. She sees her talents more as an instinct to play and gradually steer things in her favor. Melia herself is gentle and cautious, and she hardly participates in activities related to "gambling", so the truth of her abilities is not noticed.

Only in the face of the "eternal blood" from another world does this intuition fail.

"If it's really the favor of Yunhaixing, then that's fine," Speaker Nicholas said to himself, "but in this world, there are no pure coincidences. ”

"Just enjoy the peace you have, Melia? Palamedes. ”

Speaker Nicholas didn't know: in this world, in addition to her own "eternal blood", there was another person who could disrupt Melia's good fortune that day......
