"Kia the Fortune Teller Who Brings Luck"

It's a "city legend" like gossip that quietly became popular among players in Sunburst a few weeks ago. It is said that if there is a soothsayer girl named Kia, if you can meet Kia by chance and get a fate card from her, then you will be lucky and happy the moment you look through the cards. Because Kia is actually a demon who came from the abyss because he was interested in the human world, he was able to bring luck.

Although it is a very vague description, there is no cause and effect. As for why it is a demon that can bring luck, and what kind of luck it brings, there is no specific explanation in the rumors.

However, this feeling of half-truths and half-truths is indeed very appropriate from the perspective of "convenience to arouse people's curiosity". Choosing the "Demon" race was a great idea. The new expansion is based on the story of players playing as "travelers" who follow their allies or tribes into the abyssal gates and fight in the world of demons.

The so-called demons actually refer to the various races that live in the abyss.

All sorts of information about demons circulates among players, and the magical powers they possess are one of the hottest topics among players.

And well-informed players already know very well that the abyss race is not only those monsters with blue faces and fangs, but also demons that look quite in line with human aesthetics, just like there are humans and orcs on the ground, there are different races in the abyss. And among them, there are many abyssal races who are willing to cooperate with the ground races.

If the mysterious, first-time races have mastered the secret techniques that bring luck, it is not entirely impossible to think of it. It is precisely for this reason that this kind of rumor can probably be regarded as "justified". In addition, there are indeed a few people who claim to have met Kia the soothsayer and obtained the Destiny Card. The legend is even more convincing.

As a result, a large number of believers in such legends even wandered the streets every day, trying to catch this demon that could bring luck. For example...... Vanessa.

Imperka didn't expect that Vanessa, who had always been very strict and calm, would have this preference for being interested in urban legends. After the soothsayer Kia left, Vanessa remained unusually excited all the way, telling Inbocca about things she had never heard of, and about how she had been squatting on the roof of the Golden Wine Glass Tavern in the old town for a week, but unfortunately Vanessa had not managed to find Kia.

I didn't expect it to be so easy to encounter today, "It's just a lucky day" - this is what Vanessa said.

Such a popular thing, but Imberka is not clear at all. This also illustrates one thing: wanting to investigate the disappearance is actually just a whim of Imperca.

In terms of "lack of information", Impaca is no longer an unqualified detective.

In fact, whether it's "reasoning" or "information gathering" or whatever, Imberca's abilities are completely inadequate. The only reason why he was able to convince the guild cooperation council to choose himself to become a detective was because of the jaw-dropping, almost superpower-like intuition displayed by Imberca.

Therefore, Vanessa, who was calm and thoughtful, was sent by the Collaboration Council as an assistant to assist Imperca.

In fact, without Vanessa's help, I'm afraid things would have been a mess by now. However, Vanessa occasionally becomes less calm, such as before she firmly disbelieved in Kolotia's suspicions, and now.

Vanessa has been talking about the "lucky soothsayer" for a long time. So much so that Imberka had a bit of a headache.

"Whoever gets the Destiny Card gets good luck" or something, in the original world, it sounds like a completely impossible thing to fool the little girls. However, in this world of magic, it seems mysterious and "maybe it may be true" again.

You can get lucky cards.

Imperka trusts her instincts, but the instincts that used to be quite effective are not working at the moment.

For this card, Imber Card doesn't feel any different. However, the girl who sells cards has a temperament that makes people feel unrelieved, and she is very beautiful...... And then......

Wait a minute.

Imberka realizes that something is wrong.

"Vanessa? We think it's a bit weird......" Imberka tugged at Vanessa's clothes.

"Huh?"

"Do you remember what that girl looked like?"

"What does it look like?" Vanessa frowned after listening to Imperca's question. "Hmm...... It's beautiful...... Then ......"

"Hairstyle, hair color, eye color, height, body shape, clothing, everything, can you still remember ......?" Imberka asked.

……

The two people walking on the streets of Sun City stopped, and the two looked at each other with pale faces and without saying a word.

After a long time, Vanessa shook her head: "No, I don't remember at all. I just remember that girl was beautiful......"

"We can't remember anything." Imberka nodded, "Remember what Kolotia said?" ”

"It's not impossible to use magic to change the minds and minds of others."

Imber nodded silently.

Vanessa gave Inberca's expected answer.

It's also the last answer you want.

In the world of Sword & Sorcery & Journey, the player's will can also be affected by spells - and possibly without their knowledge.

If this possibility was only raised in the conversation with Kolotia, then the situation just now was that the two of them experienced this possibility with their own experience.

"There is no mention of this in the urban legends...... No, it's not. It's strange to say why I didn't notice such a thing-"

Vanessa's expression became painful, as if she was trying to remember, but there was nothing to gain except that her brow was getting tighter and tighter.

"No, I can't remember, I can't remember at all. Since just now, I have hardly paid attention to her appearance, but I just think she is very beautiful, very, very beautiful...... What's next? ”

"What else can I do? Let's go back first. ”

Imberka shrugged.

"Then turn over the cards and see, maybe it will bring luck."
