"Hello, stranger."

The breeze blew gently in the city-state of Intis, and in the outskirts of the city, a tired-looking pedestrian sat on a chair, looking at the young man sitting beside him, who did not know when, and rubbed his eyes.

After seeing the young man's appearance clearly, the Indisian couldn't help but feel a light in his heart - this young lady had a sweet face, and she was wearing a thick elf-like close-fitting long dress, and the smooth fabric perfectly outlined the beautiful curves of this young lady's body.

It's better to be Intis, Rune can't have such a scene...... He couldn't help but think in his heart

Nineteen - no, maybe a little lower, eighteen or seventeen? The Intis gentleman smiled slightly, and he looked at the beautiful lady in front of him, whose face was round and sweet, and who seemed to have the characteristics of a rune and an elf:

"What's the matter with you?"

"You seem to have some wishes that you want to fulfill?" The young lady smiled and covered half of her face with a fan in her hand, a monocle decorated with gold thread on her right eye, and a white mask on the other half of her face like that worn at a masquerade.

The mask was adorned with gold ornamentation, and on the young lady's face it resembled a fluttering butterfly.

Although half of her face was covered, the other half of her face that was not covered by the mask revealed a graceful curvature.

She's so pretty...... Is it a noble lady? I have often heard that the laws of Indis are now stricter, especially for the nobility. Therefore, some aristocratic ladies who can't bear the loneliness will come out to "hunt......

The Intis gentleman suddenly became confident: Could it be that he was lucky this time?

He straightened up and shook his head gently at the beautiful lady in front of him: "Alas, that's of course, after all, life is so difficult now, we all have some small wishes, don't we?" ”

Hearing the gentleman's answer, the girl smiled even more happily:

"Actually, I can help you make your wish come true. Do you want to make a wish to me? ”

"Miss, don't make fun of me, okay?" The gentleman's expression suddenly changed a lot, and there was even a faint sense of fear: "Now I believe in evil gods, but it is a serious crime - if you do this, I will find a guard to come." ”

"Is that so?" The girl covered most of her face with a fan again, snorted dissatisfiedly, and was about to get up and leave: "Hmph, in that case, I'll go find someone else...... It's really disappointing. ”

Seeing that the beauty was about to disappear from his face, the gentleman's heart suddenly became impatient—perhaps, I was wrong, this was just a joke that this young lady made with me?

Driven by hormones and hormones, the gentleman couldn't help but get up and sincerely apologized:

"No, no. It was my mistake, beautiful young lady, please sit down. ”

After he had racked his brains for a long time to reassure him, the young lady sat down again beside the gentleman, and she opened her mouth to the gentleman:

"I happened to meet you today, so, for now, I can fulfill your three wishes."

"Wish?" This time, the gentleman patiently asked, "Then what do I need to give?" ”

Nowadays, there is a lot of content about "evil gods" and "evil spirits" in the newspapers of Intis, and even if the gentleman has not met real evil god believers and evil spirit-possessed people, this does not prevent him from feeling instinctively repulsed by such "pie in the sky" behavior.

According to the story in "The Rhymes of Russell Gustav ~ The Story of the Emperor and the Witch", written by His Majesty Gorvi Cecil, who is suspected to be the second consul of the Intis Empire, most of the things that fall from the sky are traps rather than pies.

The phrase "pie in the sky" is one of the phrases collected in His Majesty Cecil's official book "The Sacred Sayings of Emperor Gustav", and it is also widely circulated in the market, but it is far less popular than "The Rhyme of Gustav".

However, His Majesty Gorvey Cecil denied all rumors by journalists and newspapers, saying that "The Rhymes of Gustav" was not written by himself.

"In exchange for helping you fulfill your wishes, I would like to be able to ask you three questions—your beliefs, your desires, and what is the one thing that interests you most right now?"

"Of course, according to your answer, I will only help you fulfill three of the wishes you have wanted from childhood to adulthood, completely randomly, huh?"

The young lady leaned back slightly, and the gentleman thought for a moment, thinking that answering these three things was not a very private matter—besides, there should be no believer of an evil god who would dare to let himself do anything to himself after reciting the name of the god, right?

Listening to this young lady, it seems that you want to conduct a well, sociological investigation in this way?

After a moment of deliberation, the gentleman replied fluently:

"What I believe in is the 'God of Truth,' which is also the mainstream belief of our Intis right now - His Majesty the Emperor is a deity that most of us believe in, not my personal belief."

"'God of Truth,' ......" the young lady muttered to herself, but her voice was quite small, not giving others a chance to hear it, "He is indeed preparing to make a move on the 'God of Steam and Machines', but in that case, what secret honorific name does his 'Judge' correspond to?" ”

"What?" Hearing that the young lady seemed to be talking to herself, the gentleman subconsciously spoke, but he saw the beautiful young lady in front of him and slowly shook his head:

"I see—I've seen a lot of believers in the God of Truth lately, but I don't believe in His Majesty, the Venerable God. And I seem to have heard that He has changed His name many times recently? ”

"yes." The gentleman obviously didn't want to talk much about the gods, but continued to himself: "The affairs of the gods are not something that ordinary people can talk about and speculate. For me, I don't think it's as real as fantasizing about my own wishes. ”

There was a hint of hint in his tone.

"Oh?" The young lady came back to her senses and said in a relaxed tone: "Then what is your wish?" ”

"My wish......," the gentleman muttered, "I would like to make more money, well, the burden is too heavy, too heavy, and it would be better if I could bear it less." ”

"Is that so?" The girl's eyes flashed: "Do you think your burden is too heavy?" ”

"Sort of." The gentleman didn't want to say anything more, but continued to answer: "If I am most interested in the various exchanges between Intis and the Republic of Rune recently—the things that a person is interested in are different at every stage, and now I hope that this exchange between Intis and Rune will bring me the opportunity to earn more money." ”

"I don't know you Intis very well, but it seems that money and lust are the most important things to you. The Rune people are much more subtle, at least they won't say it so directly with others. ”

"Of course, I can understand that this is the land of business, isn't it?" The girl slapped her palm:

"So, I'm going to start fulfilling your wish? If you don't want to fulfill your wishes, there's still a chance to go back. ”

What's so terrible about wishes? As long as you're not some demon who doesn't fulfill your wish and asks me for payment...... The gentleman chuckled:

"Don't worry, I've got it figured."

Immediately afterward, he saw the girl fold the fan, and the world in front of him suddenly became fragmented, making it difficult for him to understand, and even the flowers and plants he usually saw could not remember the names for a while.

"So that's what you want."

An unpredictable voice sounded in the gentleman's ears, but the next moment it was forgotten by the gentleman.

The next moment, a gentle breeze blew on his face, scratching him like a lover's hand.

The gentleman opened his eyes and found that it was getting late, and the warm setting sun was shining on the ground, splashing the ground with golden red. He touched his cheek with some unresponsiveness:

"I just fell asleep?"

After that, he smacked his lips a little lost and a little funny: "It turns out that what I just experienced was just a dream." ”

But as soon as the gentleman stood up, he found that his body was much lighter, and that the ailments that had hindered his work had been much better, and just as he was still a little surprised by this, a few pieces of paper suddenly fell out of his pocket.

He hurriedly picked up the paper that had fallen out of his pocket, and when he could see the contents of the paper with the help of the dim sunset, the gentleman froze in place:

It was an employment contract with both parties signed and officially bound by the legal provisions of the "Official Intercontinental Trading Company"!

You know, the base salary of this company is quite high, and because it belongs to the state, the benefits of the employees are quite good compared to other jobs!

"Could this be what is really happening? Praise the truth, O God, have you finally given me favor? ”

The gentleman could not help but pinch his thigh, and after feeling the pain in his body, he woke up from a dream, and called for a carriage to carry him in the direction of home.

He can show off in front of his wife and daughter—but he doesn't know what his last wish will be?

After getting into the carriage, the gentleman couldn't help but muttered in his heart, and some anticipation surged in his heart.

……

"A new extraordinary case has recently emerged, and we have named it 'The God of Randomness.'" A weary member of the Closed Order sorted out the papers and handed them to the government official in front of them.

"Got a new extraordinary case? Who is the victim this time? The government official took the encapsulated document in front of him, looked at it in reverse, and showed a look of surprise on his face:

"An extraordinary case with an overall disaster rating of 0? Is the spec you guys giving over there so high? ”

"yes." The member of the Esoteric Order, who had worked for three extra days, sighed: "The fate of the victim is not as terrible as other Level 0 cases, but after the president's investigation, it was found that this case was distributed all over the world, and it was discussed with other organizations. ”

Now Rune, Intis, Fersak, and Lemburg have published the results of a study that defines the place where humans live as a sphere called the Earth.

Of course, without knowing what the outer gods are, a little understanding of the definition of the starry sky will not lead researchers to be polluted and fall into madness.

After all, now that Amun has placed the Kingdom of God in the Star Boundary, the current barrier is second only to the Fourth Age in terms of solidity, and it can even support the true gods to descend, and the automatic defense of the Kingdom of God alone can resist the outer gods.

"In the end, maybe for some reason, it was finally rated '0'. However, compared to other extraordinary cases, the fate of these victims was not too miserable, and even some of us thought that the president had rated him too high. However, there must be a reason for the president's ranking. ”

The member of the Esoteric Order smacked his lips: "Among them, these cases are only level 2 or even level 3 or level 4. The outcome of each victim is different, with only a few cases being tragic. ”

"But in the end, we all determined that those individuals who died or twisted into monsters themselves had a strong desire to commit suicide or gain extraordinary powers, and those who did not have these intentions basically did not even suffer death, and at most only a few friends and relatives died—some of them used death certificates to cheat on taxes, which is also a good thing for them?"

"The consequences are so minor?" The government official raised an eyebrow: "Can you reveal something?" You know, I can also know about extraordinary events below level 3 according to the rules and regulations and the level of the two of us. ”

"Don't spread the word when the time comes. It's none of my business, after all, I'm telling you according to the rules - but if you spread the word, you'll be severely punished if anything changes in the future. ”

", I'm sure I know that."

The Esoteric member rolled his eyes and warned the colleague. After a while, he slowly spoke:

"The victim this time is an ordinary person who has just been hired by the Intis multinational trading company, which has just been established."

"According to the investigation, his body returned to the state he was in when he was 25 years old, and he was employed by an official multinational trading company – which was not prepared to hire him until then."

But when he finally returned home, he found his wife and daughter burned alive in the fire. I don't know much more, but I always feel that the cases that have been released are deliberately for others to see. I feel that anyone who cares about these cases can roughly guess the law of this extraordinary event by looking at these cases. ”

"It's horrible." The government official sighed, "But now all we can do is praise His Majesty Cecil." Although this case may seem minor, it is a '0' ......"

“…… You're right. ”

The Esoteric Fellow drew a holy emblem on his chest: "Praise the truth." ”
