Such shocking remarks made Klein instantly forget his previous worries. He felt that nothing could compare to Alice's shocking remarks.
"... That's impossible!" he protested. "Not everyone is Frank!"
"That's why I didn't tell you what I was thinking..." Alice muttered, stood up and walked inside, "I want to go in and take a look, you..."
If there is an end inside, there might be a "sea of chaos" emerging...
She frowned, and Klein asked tentatively, "I'll wait for you here?"
"...How about this," Alice shook her head solemnly, "Let's go in together first. If you hear or see anything, leave immediately or go to Sefirah Castle."
After all, as long as he didn't know the relevant knowledge, the remaining dangers were not that direct... He wasn't a path corresponding to "God", so it was impossible for him to be attracted by the "Chaos Sea" and jump directly into it after getting so close...
Thinking this way, Alice walked inside. Klein, who was behind her, raised his right hand and silently turned the topaz pendant on his wrist. After confirming that it was dangerous for him to continue moving forward, but it was within his acceptable range, he followed.
This section of the road was not long. After walking for a few dozen meters, the front suddenly became dark. Alice stopped and Klein raised the lantern to gesture. When the light of the animal skin lantern shone in front of them, it was swallowed up by something. The area with light was strangely cut off, which looked very strange.
Alice frowned at the scene in front of her. She looked at the cliff two steps away and the bottomless void under her feet. She turned her head to look at Klein. Klein was already backing away with the lantern in his hand. He had no desire to explore and no lingering feelings at all. He just planned to leave like this.
The corner of Alice's mouth twitched. Just as she was about to speak, skinny fingers that were left with only skin and bones stretched out from the darkness and rested on the edge of the cliff.
The moment she saw the hand, Alice's pupils suddenly contracted. She raised her foot to step on the hand, but her movement was a beat too slow. The owner of the hand jumped up from the ground and stood on the shore.
He wore a pointed hat, a black robe, and a crystal monocle in his right eye socket. He was skinny and emaciated, and it was obvious that he had experienced something unusual.
Amon!
Klein's pupils suddenly contracted. He finally realized that there was indeed danger here, but the danger was probably directed at him.
His scalp tingled, but before he could react, Alice in front of him suddenly raised her leg and kicked the "skeleton" into the empty darkness below without hesitation.
For a moment, the air around him was silent. The only sound was the muttering in Klein's ear. That was the sound coming from the bronze door of Sefirah Castle. Ever since he approached this empty darkness, the bronze door seemed to be stimulated by something and kept muttering.
Although the mumbling sound was no longer unbearable for a demigod like him, it was not a good experience. Klein wanted to withdraw directly, but Amon suddenly appeared and was kicked back by Alice. After a little hesitation, Klein continued to retreat.
Alice took a step forward instead. She stared at the darkness below to prevent Amon from climbing up again, and said without looking back:
"It seems that it has not even reached Sequence 2... Well, at this level, you should be able to handle it on your own.
"Strange, why would He place such a low-level clone here... Could it be that He really just crawled out from underground?"
No one answered her. The only person who might have answered her tried to poke his head in for the second time, but she kicked him harder.
This time nothing climbed up, and Alice also took a few steps back, away from this terrifying abyss.
…
“I’m really not used to not being able to wear a monocle…” Amon reached out and pinched his right eye socket. At this moment, a monocle was finally put back on there.
He was now in the crowd, with people coming and going around him, but no one seemed to notice Him. After turning his monocle twice, a faint light suddenly flashed on it, and then He murmured:
"Just kicking it down like that? At least listen to what I have to say... Tsk.
"The one next to her should be the Fool. As expected, he is in the God-Forsaken Land... What a pity. He should have known about the existence before the First Epoch. The potion of the Ancient Scholar should have been digested long ago. The connection between him and Sefirah Castle is already deep enough. If he wants to... I'm afraid it won't be that easy. We have to first...
"Pallez, Paris... Heh, "He" really chose to stay in Backlund..."
Amon slowly lowered his right hand, and the monocle disappeared from his face again. He raised his hand and rubbed his right eye socket, muttering:
"I'm really not used to this..."
…
After leaving the gray-white building, Klein finally decided to ask Alice a few questions, but Alice waved her hand and said:
"Let's get away from that pus-oozing giant before we talk, okay?"
“…” Klein agreed.
Alice fell to the ground away from the Cyclops. Without waiting for Klein to ask, she began her long speech:
"You should have guessed it, right? That underneath... well, that underneath is related to the pollution underground. I still can't tell you the specific situation now. You have to wait for your angel. As for Amon, Amon...
“Well, I don’t know what Amon is like. As soon as I saw that hand, I recognized it as Amon—I would recognize Him even if He was burned to ashes!
“Although it’s obvious that it’s not his real body, Amon’s strength cannot be judged based on his status alone. He is a ‘trickster’ who is best at deceiving people, so I…”
So you kicked Him down and didn’t give Him the chance to deceive people... Klein shook his head and said thoughtfully:
"What would happen if I really fell down?"
"I don't know," Alice shook her head, "but it's not a good thing."
After a brief pause, Alice suddenly spoke as if she had thought of something:
"Oh no, actually I have a guess... or rather, I can think of a possibility.
"I have cut off the connection between Amon's clone and the original body... but it was just cutting off the connection. If... maybe I can go a step further and let the clone develop an independent personality?"
“That doesn’t mean…” Klein’s mind moved slightly, and he looked at Alice.
"… Let's resist the tyranny of the entity, starting with me?" Alice blurted out.
Klein's eyelids twitched. He looked at Alice and wanted to say something, but Alice quickly shook her head and said:
"Isn't it true that he didn't fall? Amon should have a way... and He must know the existence of those things. He shouldn't be so careless..."
After a pause, Alice stopped thinking about these useless questions and looked behind Klein curiously. She blinked and asked:
"Speaking of which, your puppet is very similar to Amon's clone in some ways. If Amon's clone can have an independent consciousness, then will your puppet...
"Well, I mean, will I ever really meet the great adventurer German Sparrow?"
…
Even with the help of the car, the long journey still seemed boring, and Alice began to try to add a little fun to her journey.
After being persuaded by the fact that "I won't hit anyone anyway", Klein reluctantly agreed to Alice's proposal to drive the car.
The learning ability of the "machine" was demonstrated at this time. Just by watching him drive, Alice had learned most of the content, with only some details that needed to be supplemented.
It happened very quickly. It didn't take Alice long to complete the journey. Klein sat in the passenger seat with peace of mind. Then he was horrified to find that the well-behaved Alice just now was a disguise. At this moment, she began to change the speed of the car to make the journey more varied.
Mr. Fool certainly would not do something as dangerous and unbecoming as jumping over to grab the steering wheel. He had his own way to make Miss Destiny obey him - he removed the historical projection of the car.
In fact, it was a lose-lose method. After experiencing the convenience of cars and the time when no one was watching him, Klein was no longer interested in walking. However, he was certain that Alice would lose patience before him, so he persisted.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
But he didn't expect that Alice had more ways than methods. After discovering that he was trying to compete with her in patience, Alice decisively gave up and disappeared from the spot. After a while, she sent a distant communication:
"I'm going to Silver City to play for two days. When you figure it out, I'll come find you again."
——For Alice, he, who has a two-way faith connection, is a "coordinate" that cannot be clearer.
After realizing this, Klein had to give up the idea of competing with Alice in patience and called her back to bargain with her.
The best way to convince Alice is of course ice cream, but this trick, which always works, is much less effective in the "God's Forsaken Land" where ice cream cannot be bought.
Alice didn't mind taking a bite of the historical projection ice cream to taste it, but when Klein tried to use it as a bargaining chip, he was rejected mercilessly:
“That’s totally fake… as empty as diet coke!
"Don't even think about trading them, unless... unless you agree to let me eat ice cream during the Tarot Club."
“…Absolutely impossible.” Klein refused firmly.
Things came to a standstill again. Klein deeply regretted his decision to let Alice touch the car. In the end, he had to agree to Alice's request to eat ice cream at the Tarot Club.
"But only this time!" he emphasized solemnly.
"It's okay~" Ai Li didn't care at all, with a smug smile on her face.
You have already given in, Mr. Fool. If you give in once, there will be a second time, a third time...
Alice blinked slightly and finally said nothing.
…
The "Hermit" Cattleya finally arrived in Backlund this week. After watching Nina, who was relatively normal, take good care of the other crew members and not drink too much, she left the "Future" with trepidation.
Audrey "Justice" finally digested the potion of "Dream Walker". After planning the missing auxiliary materials, she decided to expand the scope of the ceremony through donations on the Goddess's Winter Ceremony Day to achieve the requirements of the ceremony.
Sun Derrick's excitement about Mr. World's arrival gradually subsided, and in his conversation with Alice, he realized that despite the plan, it would take time to actually realize it.
——But hope is just around the corner and he is still full of expectations.
Due to the departure of "World" Gehrman Sparrow, the progress of "Magician" Fors's performance was stagnant. Klein had a solution for this. On "Source Castle", he regularly entered "travel" into the "Lemanno Travel Notes" to facilitate the performance of "Magician" Fors.
Fors had no objection to this, nor did she dare to, especially after the last time Klein took it to "open the door" - in accordance with the transaction requirements set earlier, Klein still paid his all, but the ability recorded in it was Alice who rushed to record it.
While Klein was puzzled as to why Alice could release abilities that were not at the demigod level, Alice stuffed misfortunes of varying sizes and severity into different pages of this travel journal, allowing Klein to fully understand Alice's abilities and ask the same question that Anderson had asked:
"Don't you have anything else to record besides bad luck?"
Alice was not angry this time. She raised her eyes and replied:
"Yes, I have."
As she said this, she recorded another "mental storm" and told Klein:
"To be honest, I've always thought this ability is quite humorous in the ability system before demigods... You see, other abilities are gradually advanced and integrated, only this one is alone..."
Klein nodded in agreement, and then replied:
"But I think this is not as shocking as the first time I heard about the Lucky One's ability... I really find it hard to believe that it is a Sequence 7, do you understand?"
"...Actually, I find it hard to believe," Alice rolled her eyes, "but what's hard to believe is that no one has ever shattered the ability of the Demigod of the Path of Destiny before. It was like this from the beginning..."
After a pause, Alice said with a strange expression: "Of course, I actually have a little guess."
"Huh?" Klein looked at her in surprise.
Alice sighed and said:
"Just like what Ms. Hermit said, low-sequence abilities should be a projection of the authority of a true god, and the path of destiny...
“It cannot be denied that the Wheel of Fortune is not good at fighting. Even though I am not a true God, I can be sure of this. However, His authority is not weak.
"Like you said, there are many ways to gain destiny-related abilities, just like... well, don't you feel that this feels like... riding on the popularity?
"It's like everyone wants to touch fate to prove that they are strong." (End of this chapter)
"... That's impossible!" he protested. "Not everyone is Frank!"
