Anyway, I have to say something...
Klein's brain froze for a moment. This time he avoided the other party and escorted Darkwill to Oravi Island alone. The purpose was to prevent Angel from knowing the details.
The first reason is that he earned this money to save up for the purchase of Mystical Item that was contaminated in the "stolen" Marionettist Beyonder Characteristic. It is just his own private matter and he does not want to trouble the other party; the second reason is... he does not want Angel to know that he is connected with this "Apothecary".
All three of them have attended the party of "Eye of Wisdom", but Angel knows what medicines Darkwill often sells!
"Why are you here too Oravi Island?"
He quickly used the ability of "Faceless" to adjust his expression and asked calmly.
This is called taking the initiative...
"Just passing by."
Angel glanced at Darkwill who was looking at him in amazement behind Klein. The latter obviously didn't recognize himself without "Madness Ring".
"Is this your escort? How did you meet?"
She raised her eyebrows, not being induced by Klein's interfering question.
According to what he knew about Fat Apothecary when he was at Backlund, Angel knew that he was only willing to spend 30 pounds to dispose of the herbs he had worked so hard to grow by sewer monsters. Spending some money to buy Potion materials seemed to cost him his life.
This kind of miser would never want to spend 1,000 pounds to hire a bodyguard.
"I'm red..."
"He saw the news in the newspaper and knew that I killed pirates on the street, and I had received a missing person commission from him before, so he came to me."
As soon as Darkwill opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Klein, who explained rapidly for a long time, then turned around and looked at Apothecary.
"Give me all the money you just won, and you can leave. Our employment ends early, right?"
Although Angel couldn't see his expression, you could tell that his tone was not that friendly.
"Yes... yes."
Obviously, Darkwill, who was face to face with "Mad Adventurer" at close range, knew this better. He quickly took out a wad of banknotes from his robe pocket and stuffed them into Gehrman's hands without even counting them.
"Very good, also remember your promise, the clue to the offensive Mystical Item."
After throwing the note with the spell to summon his headless Messenger Miss to Fat Apothecary, Klein looked back at Angel, his expression calm and even smiling.
"Shall we go?"
Angel looked at him in silence for a few seconds before nodding.
Looking at the back of Gehrman Sparrow, who had protected him all the way, but then left in a hurry, even taking 130 pounds short of the balance, and the female companion next to him who looked better than all the women he had seen before, Darkwill first swallowed silently, and then he understood why the other party secretly came to his store to buy medicine.
Of course, he also came to his senses and realized that he had almost spilled the beans and became the next target of Mad Adventurer.
"Quack——"
His owl Harry then flew down from the ceiling, landed back on his shoulder, and said in a voice that only he could hear:
"Are you crazy? I thought I was going to find another Beast Tamer to help me fill my prescription!"
"You idiot, I am your master, I am not giving you Potion," Darkwill retorted in a low voice as well, "And isn't this a good thing? He left in a hurry and couldn't even wait for me to win another 130 pounds, and Mr. Ricciardo's Luck blessing still has some time and quota, and the remaining income belongs to me!"
The more he talked, the more excited he became. He stopped preparing to leave the casino and turned around to return to the card table to play a few more games to make up for the shock he had suffered in the past few days.
But as soon as he turned around, he noticed a waiter in a tuxedo approaching him with two strong men with unkind expressions.
"That's him. Search carefully to see how he made the fortune. He won two hundred pounds in less than an hour."
As soon as the waiter finished speaking, the owl flapped its wings and flew from Darkwill's shoulders. This time, it did not stay in the room, but flew directly out of the casino.
"Ahem, so why did you come to Oravi Island?"
With a slight cough, Klein broke the silence in the living room and asked.
The two found a hotel near the pier that could see the sea, and stayed in an ordinary suite. Then they sat in the living room and returned to the dull atmosphere of the Bayam "Azure Wind" hotel.
There is no balcony, no single sofa, and no room service... Angel was thinking, suddenly awakened by Klein's inquiry, and answered hesitantly:
"I, I went to sea with Helene and 'Red Haired Woman' to test the new ship. Unexpectedly, I encountered pirates and a mast was broken. I had to come here for repairs. Just then I remembered that you were here, so..."
As she said this, she felt that this reason was too far-fetched and she couldn't make it up anymore.
But Klein just listened quietly with a smile on his face and did not ask any questions.
This seemed to be a bit too hypocritical for Angel who made up excuses. She opened her mouth, sighed, and changed her words:
"Okay, I admit, I divined the scene of you escorting Darkwill. He happened to be struck by lightning at that time. I thought this journey might be dangerous, so I took Helene to take me to Oravi Island. But there were a lot of accidents on the way, encountered a storm, and ran into pirates. The ship is still parked at the dock waiting for repairs..."
"Accident? Because of the 'Good Luck' revolver?"
After receiving a satisfactory answer, Klein smiled even more on his face, but soon frowned and asked.
"Yes, it seems that its negative effects have begun to appear again in the past two days, just like Darkwill suffered bad luck."
Angel replied, pulling out the revolver and placing it on the table in front of him. This revolver looked exquisite, but it was impossible to tell that it was Mystical Item. The revolver was lying quietly in the center of the table, looking harmless.
"Darkwill paid me 1,000 pounds to escort him because of a similar item. It was a magical dice called 'Dice of Probability'..."
This "monster", also known as "Wheel of Fortune" Pathway's Uniqueness, can grasp the probabilities of all events around it. Whether it is favorable or unfavorable is determined by the number of points rolled. 1-3 points are unfavorable. The lower the number, the more dangerous and terrifying unlucky encounters are likely to occur, and the opposite is true for 4-6 points.
Darkwill was hit by an almost impossible lightning strike in the cabin. It was just the result of rolling a "2". If it was a "1", he might have stumbled every step he took, there would be burrs on the surface of any object he touched, and he would even choke to death if he drank water.
The most terrible thing is that this die has some kind of living characteristics. It always likes to make its holder switch back and forth between Luck and unlucky modes. Once fully awakened, the surrounding wider and wider space will gradually be included in this "probability", eventually affecting the entire world.
"This is very similar to Sealed Artifact from Tingen..." Angel murmured. She did not say the code name of "0-08" to avoid being noticed by this quill, "But what is 'Uniqueness'?"
"That is the only item required for each Pathway except Potion when Sequence 1 is promoted to Sequence 0, that is, True God. If Uniqueness appears in the world, it means that True God has not yet been born for this Pathway."
After the "World" identity was revealed, Klein and Angel's communication about occult matters became much more convenient. There was no need to worry about whether there were things that "The World" knew but "Klein" didn't know, such as Sequence 0 and True God. Although they were extremely secretive topics, they were no longer secrets on Tarot Club.
Although I said this, the matter of "Uniqueness" has not been discussed at Tarot Club... Angel looked at Klein in confusion, wondering if the other party had other information channels.
"I learned about this from a Angel named 'Wheel of Fortune' Pathway. It's a coincidence that he also knows you 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 "Angel" of Sequence 2. Arianna provided her with a lot of help, not to mention Mr. Azik. If he hadn't come to the rescue several times, I'm afraid she and Klein would have used up the "resurrection" power they didn't know where they came from.
In addition to these two people, there is also "Queen Anne's Revenge" who just signed the contract...
But she has never encountered the Angel of "Wheel of Fortune"!
"Do you still remember 'Aurora Order' Oracle who you encountered and killed in Hillston Borough when you were at Backlund?"
Klein asked in return, and continued after the other party nodded:
"At that time, you protected a young couple, Aaron Ceres and his wife Wilma Gladys during the battle. Vilma was pregnant at the time, and the fetus in her belly was a Sequence 1 who took the initiative to live a 'Reboot' life. E Angel, Will Auceptin. I met Dr. Aaron and this Angel during a commission, and got a way to contact them, which is why He asked me to convey my gratitude."
After being reminded by Klein, Angel recalled the couple he met on the street when fighting Ms. D. At that time, Ms. D invited Flame Spear to throw himself at him. However, because there were civilians behind him, Angel did not choose Flaming Jump to dodge, but instead summoned an ice wall to hit him.
But a Sequence 1 would thank himself for such a small thing? He can't even handle these little things, right? Judging from the Beyonder Ability of the "monster" Pathway, he at least has the ability to turn misfortunes into Luck. Is it because of the so-called "Reboot" that he became a fetus and was unable to use Beyonder Ability?
"Although this Angel expressed clear gratitude, I think 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 'Snake of Fate' who can control his destiny will not put himself in danger."
Klein added that he did not relax his vigilance because the other party thanked Angel in the paper crane dream used for communication, but carefully analyzed it based on his own experiences and mystical knowledge, and told Angel the results.
The main reason is that, according to his thinking, Will Auceptin is absolutely capable of predicting that his parents will be attacked by Ms. D at Hillston Borough, and he did not stop Aaron and his wife from going to the scene. The only reason is: He wants to take this opportunity to have some kind of connection with Angel!
In occult terms, even this kind of encounter without actual contact means the entanglement of fate, and it means that this "Snake of Fate" has an agenda!
