The Bishop Anderson in front of her fell to the ground twice in succession. Even Tina noticed something was wrong. She cautiously took two steps back to avoid being affected. At the same time, she asked "Genie" in her heart:

"Did you do it?"

"Of course not," Genie's majestic but deliberately lowered voice immediately replied, "He is simply unlucky and would choke to death when he drinks water. You can quickly put me inside the fountain and unlock this seal."

Can a person really be so unlucky as he is... Tina looked doubtfully at Anderson, who was covering his head and groaning and unable to get up for a long time. He always felt that the other party's exaggerated movements were part of a performance, but he also Agreeing with Genie's opinion, he took out "Magic Wishing Lamp" from his bag without hesitation, went to the fountain, and carefully put the gold lamp into the water where many metal coins were sunk.

The magic lamp made a few bubbles in the water, and there was a little golden light on the surface. But just when Tina thought that the figure inside Sealed Artifact would emerge from the mouth of the pot again, the golden light quickly converged, and the pot body became extremely ordinary, like a common gold-plated decoration.

"Okay, this is the fourth place," Genie's voice sounded again, with the ease and comfort of completing an important task, "Next, we are going to the East Continent and entering a ruins called 'Giant King’s Court'."

East Continent...Tina has long been numb to the various demands put forward by Genie contained in Sealed Artifact, but the new location still makes her have the urge to give up.

Unlike the northern and southern continents, which opened safe shipping lanes more than a hundred years ago and have become closely connected through colonization and trade, the eastern continent only existed in adventure novels and fictional stories for a long time, and most people thought it did not exist.

It was not until more than ten years ago that the sea fog that made people lost in the east of the Sonia Sea dissipated, and the believers of "Fool" and "Sun God" found a new route, that this continent that had been hidden really appeared in front of everyone. But even after more than ten years of continuous immigration, that continent is still an extremely mysterious and dangerous wilderness in the eyes of most people.

Do we have to rely on Ghost Ship to give us a ride this time, or go through a certain electrified door and directly "Teleportation" thousands of miles away?

Tina murmured, taking "Magic Wishing Lamp" out of the pool, shaking it dry and stuffing it back into the bag.

"So the purpose of your coming here is to pour a pot of water home?"

Suddenly, Anderson's voice came from behind her, which sounded a little sarcastic, making people want to beat him from the bottom of their hearts. Tina's expression froze, and it took a moment to adjust her mood and turn her head to look at the other party.

Anderson is no longer in the embarrassing state of falling down twice just now. After standing up straight and dusting off the dust, he even looks a little majestic and handsome. Unfortunately, the only thing left in Tina's mind is the exaggerated action of Priest hitting his head against the fountain fence twice, so he can't have any extra affection for him.

She didn't want to reveal the existence of "Magic Wishing Lamp", so she nodded without answering.

But Anderson did not stop there, but continued:

"This fountain may really bring Luck to people. It witnessed a difficult revenge, witnessed a romantic proposal, and also gave me the opportunity to truly become Demigod. Of course, I eventually discovered that whether it is returning to Iron and Blood Cross Order, mixed with those Hunter, or went to Church of Knowledge to report, it seems that they all believe in the great Lord, this may be the same... Luck."

As he spoke, he drew a cross on his chest again, raised his eyes to look at the church "Sun God" not far away, and was suddenly startled.

Tina also looked around and noticed a tall, thin man with soft features standing in the square in front of the church. His long silver hair fell to his vest, and his eyes of the same color looked quietly in this direction. If it weren't for the sharp edges of his figure under the thin linen robe, Tina would have even suspected that he was a woman.

The moment he was noticed by Tina, a pair of Gentlemen and a lady were walking in front of the silver-haired man. The former's smooth forehead and deep lake-like gray eyes exposed under the half-high silk top hat, and the latter's slightly pale and bloodless skin attracted Tina's attention. When she came back to look for the silver-haired man, she could no longer find him.

"Did you notice?"

Anderson looked back and asked in a low voice.

"The man with silver hair?" Tina frowned, not hiding his discovery, "I just saw him once and then he disappeared."

"Then you are very Luck. Normally, if He doesn't want you to notice it, you will just not notice Him due to various coincidences."

Another coincidence...Tina's expression changed slightly and asked:

"Will this have any impact?"

"He is the 'Angel of fate' under the great Lord. When you see Him, you may get Luck, or you may suffer misfortune. Of course, I believe you will be the former."

Anderson replied leisurely.

"Luck? Can you help us get to other destinations? For example, East Continent?"

Dorothy on the side also looked in that direction, but did not find the silver-haired figure, so he frowned and asked.

It seems that because he fell down twice in succession, Anderson is now extremely honest and answers all questions. He nodded slightly and said:

"It depends on your destination, but if you have 'Luck', you might meet someone who can give you a ride as soon as you set off.

"For example, in my early years, because I believed the rumors, I joined a Expedition Team to explore the mysterious maritime ruins. However, because I saw the mural of His Highness Ouroboros, I suffered a series of Misfortunes. Some of the crew members drowned in their own urine, and some slipped and fell to death while walking on the road. In the end, I was the only one left.

"You think I'm going to say that meeting 'Angel of fate' will lead to Misfortune? No, that encounter made me get to know the fledgling Gehrman Sparrow and his friends, I took a boat to leave the ruins, and by chance, I got the opportunity to be promoted to High Sequence. In the end, I became Archbishop who guards this square and this fountain church."

It seemed that Tina and Dorothy knew a lot about occult knowledge. Anderson talked a lot without explaining the vocabulary that was difficult for ordinary people to understand.

Finally, he concluded:

"In short, I think Luck and misfortune are two sides of the coin, which can be switched at any time, depending on how you treat it."

So, Anderson fell down one after another just now, was it because of some kind of Misfortune? But according to him, this is the other side of Luck... And he didn't explain how I should use this Luck... Tina cursed, feeling that this Archbishop's words were unbearable, and he didn't know if he should find an opportunity to interrupt him.

At this moment, Tina glanced out of the corner of her eye and saw another figure appearing in the direction of the church. Her hair, which was as dark red as blood and fluttering like flames, immediately attracted her attention.

It can't be Mr. Medici, right? She ignored the gushing Anderson, stared at him, and her face that had just shown an expression of expectation immediately fell down.

The red-haired man's build and age were similar to the Mr. Medici she remembered, especially the iconic red hair, but his face shape and demeanor were so different that he was obviously another person.

Of course, the two also have a lot in common in terms of facial features and expressions, especially the natural masculine charm that makes Tina inexplicably like him.

Dorothy on the side also said "Huh", looked at the red-haired man, and sighed after a moment.

She must have also thought of Mr. Medici... As Tina was thinking, the man had already arrived beside the three of them. His height of almost two meters made Anderson, who was much taller than ordinary people, just look up.

The latter bowed respectfully, and his tone was no longer sarcastic:

"Sauron Your Highness."

In the world of occultism and among major churches, "Your Highness" is usually the name given to Angel...Tina recalled Genie's teachings and realized that the red-haired man in front of him was also a Beyonder who was at least Sequence 2.

In addition to the "Angel of fate" that suddenly appeared and disappeared just now, Tina has seen at least four Angel today!

She didn't believe it at all if there was no "coincidence" in this.

He couldn't really be arranged by "Spectator", "Seer", "Demoness"... She looked at Dorothy and found that the other party was also looking at her at the same time, with the same confused and nervous expression.

The red-haired man whom Anderson called His Highness Sauron snorted lightly, looked around and said:

"I didn't expect Medici to really hide and leave false clues to trick me here... Have you seen that guy today?"

"No, absolutely not. If I saw it, I would definitely tell you!" Anderson immediately shook his head to show his innocence, and then asked cautiously, "What can I do for you?"

"Goddess lowered Divine Revelation and asked me to hand over a precious item to Medici, but this guy seemed to have a premonition and suddenly hid... Did he go to the East Continent?"

The red-haired Sauron clicked his tongue, no longer paying attention to Anderson, who was of no use to him, and turned to look at Tina and Dorothy, his expression softening a lot.

Seeing this, Tina, who had already had doubts in his heart, bravely asked:

"Mr. Sauron, uh, Your Highness Sauron, do you know Mr. Medici? He also has red hair, just like you."

Hearing her question, Sauron's gentle expression became more vivid. He bent his knees and squatted straight, making his eyes level with the two girls or even lower. He nodded and answered with a smile:

"Of course we know each other. Einhorn and we have been roommates for a long time. Sometimes we quarrel with each other and sometimes we discuss difficult problems together. Of course, there are also conflicts. We can be regarded as friends and foes."

As he spoke, Sauron's sharp facial contours and handsome facial features made her feel an even more irresistible male charm because he was closer to Tina, and his answer inevitably made the girl fall into some kind of strange reverie.

Roommates... friends and foes... the three of them... Her eyes gradually lost focus, and she thought of the plot in the novel that was circulated privately in the class.

Not noticing the girl's rich inner drama, Sauron paused for a moment and continued:

"I just heard the conversation between you and Anderson. Are you going to the East Continent quickly?

"I happen to be going there to find Medici, and I can give you a ride."

Someone really showed up along the way. Is this the Luck power of "Angel of fate"? Tina gathered his thoughts and couldn't help but open his mouth wide. He looked at Anderson who secretly gave a thumbs up and then pointed at himself, which obviously meant "You see what I said is right."

The effect is no less than making a wish to "Genie". From this point of view, "Magic Wishing Lamp" is roughly equivalent to the power of a Angel... Tina glanced at Dorothy and saw that her sister had no objection, so she nodded:

"Then it's Mr. Sauron's fault."

"It's not troublesome at all," Sauron smiled and shook his head, lowering his body further, with his palms facing up, reaching out to the two sisters, "Then I'll formally ask you, are you willing to temporarily join my team and gain my power?"

Join the team? Is there any problem with this? Seeing Sauron asking such a formal question, Tina hesitated and subconsciously asked Genie in his mind, but did not get an answer.

Of course, during today's journey, Tina had already become accustomed to the fact that Sealed Artifact and the Genie inside lost their voices from time to time or refused to answer or provide help. He figured out a certain pattern and knew that if he was really in danger, even if he did not ask questions, the other party would issue a warning.

Now that Genie is silent, it most likely means that this behavior is harmless... She thought, slowly raised her slender arm, and her palm fell into the wide palm of Sauron.

Next to her, Dorothy was the same.

The moment the bodies came into contact, Tina felt a breath as hot as flames pass through his palms and forearms, all the way to the inside of his body. There was also some complicated knowledge in his mind that he could easily understand.

Flame Transformation... turns the body into a purple flame, travels through space at a speed dozens of times faster than sound, and reaches the destination instantly... Team members can share extraordinary abilities and Spirituality... their minds are connected to each other and can communicate directly in consciousness...

Before Tina could digest these contents, Dorothy's voice sounded in her mind:

"Tina, can you hear me?"

"You can hear it!"

She answered excitedly, looking at her sister next to her, and found that the other person's brown eyes flashed with deep purple light, as if they were dyed with the color of her own eyes.

Not only her eyes, but Dorothy's whole body was enveloped in a layer of purple flames. Her whole body seemed to have turned into a burning torch, but her face was not burned Affliction, but she could see the excitement of seeing new things.

Tina knows that his body and expression are exactly the same as hers.

In the short time of this day, the two of them saw, accepted, and understood extraordinary power, but only now did they truly possess this power, even if it was only temporary.

Both sisters thought of a sentence their father taught them, a "proverb" from the Western Continent.

What I have learned on paper is ultimately shallow, and I know that I have to do it in detail.

"Are you ready?"

Sauron's magnetic yet very soft voice sounded in their hearts.

No need to answer, Tina expressed his status with his thoughts.

"Then let's set off, target, East Continent."

Sauron held the palms of the two people, and stood up straight from a half-crouched state. With the help of this power, the whole person transformed into purple Flame Spear and rushed directly to the sky.

Behind him, two smaller flame streams followed closely.

"Iron-Blooded Knight" Anderson was alone in an instant, but he didn't care. He just looked at the sky, his eyes following the three people who almost immediately had only one spot of light left, until this light also disappeared.

"I just said it would become Luck."

He muttered something, touched the back of his head that had just hit the stone twice, and walked towards the church.

At the edge of the square, Angel watched Angel, "Hunter" Pathway, take the two girls soaring into the sky, and Dunn Smith felt relieved.

He put away the power from "Goddess Heart" that allowed Sequence 3 to have access to "hidden" authority to a certain extent. The invisible curtain covering Resurrection Square was removed, and passers-by noticed the fountain again. Some of them stopped to watch the splashing water with a smile on their faces, while others slowly approached, threw coins into the pool, and made wishes.

If he hadn't just concealed the behavior of two girls who looked exactly like Klein and Angel, as well as the Archangel from "The End Church", the sudden rise of the Xuanhe flames in the square would have attracted countless people's attention. This is probably not what the two Goddess wanted to see.

"Come on, we can leave."

He said gently to Daly Simone who was holding his arm.

The latter did not move, but looked thoughtfully in the direction of the fountain. After a moment, he tightened his arms and said:

"I originally wanted to wait until this time of 60 years Reincarnation is over, and I wanted to wait until I was promoted to Sequence 3 before considering having a child, but when I saw those two children, I remembered this day 18 years ago, the scene when you appeared in the square, and the embarrassment of Klein's proposal to Angel.

"I think now is the time."

Dunn was startled, then showed a knowing smile.
