Chapter 125: Will Unsetin's Thanks?
Anyway, I have to say something......
Klein's brain froze for a moment, and he avoided the other party this time to escort Kleville to Olavi Island alone, in order to prevent Angel from knowing the details.
One of the reasons is that the purpose of earning this money is to accumulate and use it to buy magical items that are polluted by the extraordinary characteristics of the secret puppet master, which is just his own private matter, and he does not want to trouble the other party; The second is ...... I don't want Angel to know that she has a connection with this "pharmacist".
All three of them had attended the "Eyes of Wisdom" party, and Angel knew what kind of medicine Darkwell often sold!
"Why did you come to Olavi Island too?"
He quickly used the Faceling's ability to adjust his expression and asked indifferently.
This is called taking the initiative......
"Just passing by."
Angel glanced at Darkwell, who was looking at him in amazement behind Crane, who apparently didn't recognize himself without the Ring of Madness.
"This is who you're escorting? How did you meet? ”
She raised an eyebrow, uninduced by Crane's interference question.
From what he knew about the fat pharmacist at Beckland, Angel knew that he was only willing to spend 30 pounds to deal with the herbs he had worked so hard to grow was arched by the sewer monsters, and that it was like killing him to pay some money for potion materials.
This kind of miser is absolutely not willing to spend 1,000 pounds on a bodyguard.
"I'm ...... Red"
"He saw the news in the newspaper and knew that I had killed a pirate in the street, and that I had been asked to find someone by him."
Darkwell was interrupted by Crane, who explained for a long time before turning to look at the pharmacist.
"Give me all the money you just won, and you can leave, our employment ended early, right?"
Although Angel couldn't see his expression, he could hear it, and the tone was not so friendly.
"Yes...... Yes. ”
Apparently, Darkwell, who had come face to face with "The Mad Adventurer", knew this better, and he quickly pulled out a stack of bills from his robe pocket and stuffed them into Gelman's hand without counting them.
"Very well, additionally remember your promise, the clue to the offensive magical item."
After tossing the note with the spell summoning his headless Miss Messenger to the fat pharmacist, Crane looked back at Angel, his face had returned to calmness, and even a little smile.
"Shall we go?"
Angel looked at him in silence for a few seconds before nodding.
……
Looking at the back of German Sparrow, who had protected himself all the way, but left in a hurry, and even took 130 pounds less than the final payment, and the female companion beside him who looked better than all the women he had seen before, Darkwell first swallowed silently, and then understood why the other party had secretly come to his store to buy medicine.
Of course, he also remembered that he had almost come out of his mouth just now, and became the next target of this crazy adventurer.
"Quack—"
His owl Harry flew down from the ceiling, landed on his shoulder, and said in a voice that only he could hear:
"Are you crazy? I thought I'd have to find another animal trainer to help me dispense medicine! ”
"You stupid bird, I'm your master, not for potions," Darkwell retorted in the same low voice, "and isn't that a good thing?" He left in such a hurry that he couldn't even wait for me to win another £130, and Mr. Rickard's lucky wish still had a little time and credit, and the rest of the income belonged to me! ”
The more he talked, the more excited he became, and he stopped preparing to leave the casino, ready to turn around and go back to the table, and play a few more rounds to make up for the fright he had suffered in the past few days.
But as soon as he turned around, he noticed that a waiter in a tuxedo approached him with two unkind-faced strong men.
"That's him, you search carefully, see how he made a thousand, he won two hundred pounds in less than an hour."
As soon as the waiter finished speaking, the owl flapped its wings and flew off Darkwell's shoulder, and this time, instead of staying in the room, it flew straight out of the casino.
————
"Ahem, so, what the hell did you come to Olavi Island?"
With a light cough, Crane broke the silence in the living room and asked.
The two of them found a hotel near the pier with a view of the sea, opened a common suite, and then sat in the living room, reverting to the dreary atmosphere of the "Blue Wind" hotel in Baiam.
No balcony, no single sofa, and no room service...... Angel pondered, and was suddenly awakened by Crane's inquiry, and replied hesitantly:
"I, I followed Elaine and the 'Redhead' out to sea for the test of a new ship, but I didn't expect to meet a pirate, and a mast was broken, so I had to come here to repair it nearby, just when I remembered that you were also here, I ......"
Saying that, she felt that this reason was too far-fetched and a little too much to make up.
But Klein just listened quietly, with a smile on his face, and didn't ask.
Angel, who seemed to be making up the reason, was a little too hypocritical, she opened her mouth, sighed, and changed her words:
"Well, I'll admit it, I figured out the picture of you escorting you to Kerwell, who happened to be struck by lightning at the time, and I thought that this trip might be dangerous, so I dragged Elaine to carry me to Olawe. But there were really a lot of accidents on the way, there was a storm, and there were pirates, and the ship is still parked at the dock waiting for repairs......"
"Accidents? Because of that 'good luck' revolver? ”
Crane smiled even more when he received a satisfactory answer, but quickly frowned and asked.
"That's right, it seems that the negative effects of it have started to show up again in the last two days, just like what happened to Darkwell."
Angel replied, pulling out his revolver and placing it on the table in front of him, this revolver, which looked beautiful but couldn't tell that it was a magical item at all, was lying quietly in the center of the table at the moment, looking harmless to humans and animals.
"Darkwell also paid me 1,000 pounds for an escort because of a similar item, which was a magical dice called the 'Probability Dice'......"
The only way to control the odds of all the events around this "monster", also known as the "Wheel of Fortune", is determined by the number of points hit, 1-3 points are unfavorable, the lower the more dangerous and terrifying unfortunate encounters, and 4-6 points are the opposite.
Darkwell was struck by lightning in the cabin, which was almost impossible to happen, just as a result of hitting a "2", and if it was a "1", he would probably trip over every step he took, have burrs on the surface of anything he touched, and even choke himself to death by drinking saliva.
The worst thing is that this dice has some kind of living trait, always likes to make its wielder switch back and forth between lucky and unlucky, and once fully awakened, it will gradually bring the wider and wider space around it into this "probability", and eventually affect the whole world.
"It's a lot like the seal in Tingen......" Angel muttered, not saying the code name "0-08" to avoid being noticed by the quill, "but what is 'uniqueness'?" ”
"That's the only item for each path needed to promote Sequence 1 to Sequence 0, that is, when the true god is promoted to the true god, except for the magic potion, if there is uniqueness in the world, it means that this path has not yet been born as a true god."
After the showdown on the "world" identity, Klein and Angel have a much easier communication about the occult, and there is no need to worry about whether there are some things that the "world" knows and "Crane" does not, such as Sequence 0 and the True God, although it is an extremely secret topic, it is no secret in the Tarot meeting.
That being said, "uniqueness" has never been discussed at the Tarot Society...... Angel looked at Klein suspiciously, wondering if the other party had other sources of information.
"I learned about this from an angel who was on the Wheel of Fortune pathway, and it just so happened that he knew you as well, and even asked me to convey his gratitude to you."
Klein chuckled and continued to explain.
"Angel, thank me?"
Half a year after coming to this world, Angel also met several Sequence 2 "angels", Ms. Arianna provided her with a lot of help, not to mention Mr. Azik, if he didn't save the scene a few times, I'm afraid she and Crane would have to use up even the "resurrection" power from nowhere.
In addition to these two, there is also the "Queen Anne's Revenge", which has just signed a contract......
But the angel of the "Wheel of Fortune", she has never met before!
"Remember the Aurora Priest you encountered and killed in Hilston when you were in Beckland?"
Klein asked rhetorically, and continued after the other man nodded:
"At the time, you protected a young couple, Alan Kreese and his wife, Velma Gletis, in battle. At that time, Velma was pregnant, and the fetus in her womb was a Sequence 1 angel who actively 'restarted' her life, Will Onsetin. I met Dr. Allen and the angel in a commission and was given a way to connect with him, which is why He asked me to convey my thanks. ”
After being reminded by Klein, Angel recalled the couple he met on the street when he was fighting Ms. D, when Ms. D summoned a flaming spear to throw at her, and because there were civilians behind her, Angel did not choose to jump to dodge with flames, but summoned the blow under the ice wall.
But a Sequence 1 would thank himself for this little thing? He can't even handle these little things, can he? Judging from the extraordinary abilities of the "monster" path, he at least has the ability to turn misfortune into luck, is it because of the so-called "restart" that he has become a fetus and cannot exert extraordinary abilities?
"Although this angel expresses clear gratitude, I believe that he should be able to deal with the attack of a mid-sequence, I am afraid that the attack was already expected by Will, otherwise the 'Serpent of Destiny' who can control his destiny will not put himself in danger."
Crane added that he did not let his guard down because the other party thanked Angel in the dream of a thousand paper cranes used for communication, but carefully analyzed it based on his own experience and occult knowledge, and told Angel the results.
The main reason is that, according to his thinking, Will Unsetin was absolutely capable of predicting that his parents would be attacked by Ms. D in Hilston, and he did not stop the Allen couple from going to the scene, the only reason was that he wanted to take this opportunity to have some kind of contact with Angel!
In the occult, even this kind of encounter without actual contact means that fate is entangled, and it means that this "snake of fate" has a plan!
