Chapter 2: The Scales of Fate

In order to avoid implication of the "Redhead", Angel and Crane did not follow them into the docks, but went to the city behind the harbor, where they prepared to repair, change their identity, and leave the sea that was no longer safe.

Although the wanted warrant for Damir Harbor has not yet been updated, Angel can guess that his "value" will inevitably increase a lot after this battle, and Gelman Sparrow, who was only on the watch list before, will inevitably be labeled as a "valuable".

In addition, both of them have completed their phased promotions and have no reason to continue to stay at sea, so running away immediately has become the only option.

"Won't something happen to Elaine and her team?"

Standing on the balcony of the upper room of the hotel, Crane asked in a low voice as he looked out over the docks. From here you can see where the almost scrapped sailboat is docked, and passing sailors and travelers look at it with mockery or pity.

"There will definitely be a round of scrutiny, although the ship is registered in her name, and I didn't use my own name when I funded it, but there are people from the military and the Church of the Storm among the sailors, and it won't be long before the punishers and the military will come to the door.

"But Anne has set a ban on them, and the substitute will track me down at most, but will not find any trace of Anne, it is a real angel, not enough sure, they should not mess around......"

Angel replied that she was sitting at the table, placing today's "trophies" on the table.

Driven by "betrayal" to leave Zatwin, the "Thief" route glove that she picked up, Zatwin's extraordinary properties, the extraordinary properties of the "Good Luck" pistol scrapped after firing the "Disintegration Ray", and a silvery-white scale next to the "wreckage" of the firearm.

Angel was silenced by the strange object at the end, and she slowly brushed her fingers over the sleek scales the size of a fingernail, guessing where it came from and what it did.

This is not an item from Zatwin's body, but a legacy of "good luck".

In the morning battle, she used the revolver to break the hammer five times in a row, infusing it with spirituality, trying to bet on the 1/5 probability to increase the attack to 16 times.

All five times successful.

"The probability is only about 1 in 3,000, even if the luck I usually accumulate is applied to the first shot, the probability that the remaining four shots will be strengthened is too low......"

With a little calculation, she came up with this terrifyingly low probability.

There is no doubt that this strange scale played an active role in the battle.

Not only that, but her opponent, the 'Rose School' demigod, was also surprisingly unlucky, his magical items did not steal Angel's vital abilities, and betrayed him at a critical moment, allowing Angel to steal his "Mirror Flash" and lose the last hope of escape.

"It sounds a bit like the effect of this lucky coin, but it's much stronger, and if Señor had a similar lucky effect, I wouldn't have been able to seriously injure him and put him in the world of the book to die."

After listening to Angel's doubts, Klein fiddled with the ancient coins obtained from Seigor in his hand, and analyzed:

"This necklace with a coin is derived from Sequence 5 'Winner' of the Monster Pathway, one sequence higher than the 'Good Luck' revolver, which can make the wearer lucky, even avoid deadly attacks, and can also make his opponent unlucky, prone to defeat due to minor problems.

"What you have encountered in battle today is as if its role has been magnified many times over...... I suspect that this scale, too, originates from the 'monster' pathway, and is the embodiment of some kind of power, like Anne's blood, or Mr. Azik's brass whistle...... Isn't it a bit like a snake's scales? ”

Crane was stunned at the end, and he looked at Angel, who was sitting across from him, who looked at him with the same gaze.

Both came up with a term: the Serpent of Destiny.

This is the name of Sequence 1 of the "Monster" path, and it is the sequence where Will Encettein, who once helped the two of them, is the embodiment of fate!

With this clue, Angel quickly thought of another legendary angel king, the "Angel of Destiny" Ulorius.

He is also known as the "Tail Eater", and in the murals that Mr. "Sun" has seen, there is also a manifestation of the authority of "fate".

Moreover, Anderson Hood once suffered a continuous misfortune because he saw the mural of the Angel King, and almost lost his entire army in the ruins of the Divine War.

On top of that, Angel had seen the name firsthand, and after traveling to the "Forsaken Land" on the island of Sona through a sacrificial ceremony, she saw the silver-colored title and name of Ulorius on an altar......

But I asked Mr. Fool afterwards, and received the reply that Ulorius had not left a mark on himself...... No, He didn't leave a mark on me, but on my weapon, on the "Good Luck" revolver, which ultimately played a key role in today's battle?

Angel was stunned.

After listening to her story, "Fool" Klein was also a little shocked.

He did reply that he had "left no mark" on the basis of the "Grey Mist" and his own personality in that space, but Angel, or indeed all members of the "Tarot Society", would not carry anything other than clothing when entering the Grey Mist, which naturally included the "Good Luck" revolver.

And when the two of them explore "Grossell's Travels" in the gray fog space, Angel is not wearing a weapon.

This made the revol, who was likely to be marked by the "Angel of Destiny", successfully avoid the "anti-virus" of the gray mist, and was not even discovered by himself, an incompetent "fool......

Is this also some degree of "fate"?

He decided to find an opportunity to ask Will Unsettein, who is also the "Serpent of Destiny", to see if this scale had any side effects on Angel.

Fortunately, Angel didn't dwell too much on this matter, and after she handed the scales to Crane, she began to calculate the benefits of this battle, so as to pay off the debt of 10,000 gold coins from the headless messenger Renette as soon as possible.

Soon, the two were pleasantly surprised to find that even after deducting the gold coins to be given to Renette, the two of them could be regarded as making a lot of money in the battle.

The price of the Sequence 4 "Puppet" extraordinary trait that is the size of a palm and looks a bit like a flesh-and-blood puppet is difficult to calculate, and according to the price increase of the extraordinary trait from Sequence 6 to Sequence 5, the price of the extraordinary trait of Sequence 4 will not be less than 30,000 pounds, and it will inevitably be hard to find.

Also of equal value is the "Thief" Pathway Glove, and judging from Angel's use of it, she judged that this glove was probably formed by the extraordinary properties of Sequence 4, but the specific sequence name is not known.

It allows the user to obtain an extraordinary ability called "stealing", which can steal the target's "abilities", "ideas", and even conceptual things such as "distance", "location", etc., to achieve incredible results in battle.

The stolen idea only lasts for a moment, but the "ability" lasts for about 2 hours, and correspondingly, the owner's ability will disappear for a maximum of 12 hours, and the length of time is related to the sequence gap between the two sides at the time of "stealing".

As a side effect of magical items, when wearing this glove, every time you use the ability, you may lose an item on your body, and priority is given to magical items.

It's no wonder that Zatwin had such a magical item with him, and even if he had more of it, he would have lost it a few times, and if it weren't for the good fortune bestowed by the "Angel of Destiny", I'm afraid I would have lost something in the previous battle...... Angel sighed and decided to put away her gloves carefully, preferably sealing the spiritual wall, lest all the other magical items leave her.

Coupled with the recovery of the "Calamity Priest" trait precipitated by the "Good Luck" revolver, most of the losses of the revolver explosion can be recovered, and this battle against the demigods of the "Rose School", except for the 10,000 pounds given to Renette and the consumption of Annie's favor, is almost all of the money, and there is no loss!

"But the biggest loss is actually our identity ...... that has been in business for nearly half a year," Klein had a different opinion, "Now the two of us are undoubtedly on the wanted list of the Storm Church, and it is the highest priority, so now, we can only change our identities and temporarily return to the Northern Continent to avoid the limelight, and ......"

Moreover, his way out of the promotion to demigod is not at sea, but on the Northern Continent, in Beckland.

Based on his questioning of "Arodes", Mr. Azik, and Will Onsetin, and the conclusion of the responses of several parties, there are three sources of the recipe for the potion in Sequence 4 "Sorcerer":

The Esoteric Order of Zarathu, the treasure left behind by the House of Antigonus in the Hornachis Mountains, or recovered by the Church, is probably the "Notes of the House of Antigonus" behind the Chanis Gate in the Church of St. Samuel.

The former is an already crazy "soothsayer" high-level extraordinary, powerful and dangerous, and the latter two options both point to the Antigonus family, which makes Crane lament the impermanence of fate.

The original "Klein Moretti" committed suicide because of the notes of the Antigonus family, which led to his crossing, and he also joined the night watchman, encountered 0-08's arrangement, and because of tracking 0-08 and Ince Zangwill to Beckland, he came to sea for promotion......

It all seems to have something to do with the family that was destroyed by the Night Church.

And to figure all this, it is necessary to return to Beckland, and it is not to stay for a while, it is necessary to explore for a long time, and to have a new identity that is reasonable, legal, and not linked to the previous self!

He looked at Angel, who was happily imagining the future as he looked at the various items on the table, and was about to speak, when he suddenly found that the entire living room had become a variety of color blocks like the colors of an oil painting.

He immediately looked up, and was not surprised to find Mr. Azik, dressed in a tuxedo and a top hat, walking out of the spirit realm and sitting on the couch beside them.
