Luck Check

Seeing that Kronos understood, Gner felt very gratified.

It was Kronos who rescued him from that awkward position, and it was Kronos who helped him become Beyonder. To Kronos, Gner was a mentor and friend, but to Gner, Kronos was his savior.

Gner had been thinking a lot these past two days. When Kronos told him to leave, he suddenly Consciousness that he seemed to be of no use to Kronos anymore.

Kronos didn't need a bodyguard for protection, but Gner had always positioned himself as a bodyguard or nanny.

But now, Gner has realized that there are many things he can do, not just be a bodyguard; he should position himself as a right-hand man.

Since Kronos wanted to take a Thorn path, then Gner was naturally the one who would clear the obstacles for Kronos.

After the two descended the Watchtower, Kronos began preparing his own special attire.

"This is a bit dangerous. Do you want me to come in with you?" Gner asked from the side.

Kronos considered it carefully, then said, "Let's not. The Warrior Pathway is a bit lacking in dealing with these supernatural abilities, and you probably won't be of much help if you come in with me."

Kronos continued, "Alright, you prepare the carriage and everything else outside. If anything goes wrong, we'll run away quickly."

Seeing Kronos in his new clothes, Gner clenched his fist.

How could he not realize that the following sentence was Kronos's way of comforting him? Could he really escape the outburst of supernatural abilities by simply driving away in a carriage?

But Gner also knew that Kronos was right; he couldn't handle such extraordinary abilities right now. But it wasn't a problem with his Warrior Pathway; it was because Gner was too... weak...!

If Pugilist can't solve a problem, then advance to the level of Weapon Master. Even if Weapon Master can't solve it, there are higher Sequence. Although Gner doesn't know what comes next, he knows that as long as he's strong enough, he can always solve these problems.

Kronos didn't notice Gner's expression; after changing his clothes, he immediately "took off."

Saint Luo Village was no different from other villages. When they saw someone fly in, quite a few people still knelt down in worship, but it was clearly much better than the villages in the mountains.

"My lord, may I ask what brings you here?" The village Village Chief of Saint Luo Village was a middle-aged man around forty years old, and he was the first to step forward and speak to Kronos.

Kronos remained as gentle as ever. "I am a traveling Warlock. I heard that you have been struck by a strange plague, so I came to see if there is anything I can do to help."

This was exactly what the Village Chief wanted; he hadn't had a single good night's sleep this month because of the epidemic.

If the epidemic were more severe, he would have been able to make the decision to report it and relocate the village. But he fears this indecisive situation, where relocating the village would seem like an overreaction, but not reacting would indeed indicate illness.

"Thank you, Warlock. We need someone like you to help us right now."

The reason the Village Chief didn't report it was because the authorities knew there seemed to be a minor problem, but they didn't pay much attention to it. Otherwise, the Church of Storms ' Mandated Punishers would have arrived long ago, and it wouldn't have been Kronos' turn.

"Can you tell me what has happened during this time?" Kronos asked, landing in front of the Village Chief.

"My Warlock, the problem is that we don't know what happened. About twenty days ago, several families suddenly fell ill, but because it wasn't serious, nobody took it seriously."

"It must have been a few days later. A sick person went to the Harbor to handle purchasing, and then helped other villagers deliver messages to their families who worked at the Iron Mine."

"It took him about three or four days to get back. When he returned, he was perfectly healthy, but those who stayed in the village were still sick. As a result, he fell ill again the next morning."

"That's when we realized something was wrong. After that, we gradually let other sick people go out for a walk as well. It turned out that they would get better after leaving the village, but would get sick again when they came back."

"After that, we basically invited all the doctors in the surrounding area, but they couldn't even diagnose the illness. What kind of quacks are these?"

During the Village Chief's account, he coughed twice, and Kronos also heard the surrounding villagers coughing, but the frequency was very low, usually just once.

"My Eyes of Mystery Prying was right after all. This power has already enveloped the entire village. The other villagers are also sick, but their illnesses are milder, just a slight cough." Kronos stroked his chin, thinking to himself.

To verify this conjecture, Kronos activated his Eyes of Mystery Prying and looked at the Village Chief and villagers before him.

As expected, although the villagers in front of them did not have any diseases, they could not be considered healthy in a certain sense, Ether Body were slightly dim.

"Village Chief, this isn't the doctors' fault. You've all been affected by an unknown force, and it's not just the patients; you've all developed symptoms too." Having seen this, Kronos reminded the Village Chief.

"It's just that your symptoms are very mild. At first, you might not cough at all for several days, then you started coughing almost every day, and now you're probably coughing several times a day."

Upon hearing this, the Village Chief was startled. After careful recollection, he realized that the "Warlock" was right.

"My Warlock, you must save us!" Immediately, a whole group of people knelt before Kronos.

For ordinary people, faith is far less important than life. Some people will kneel for their faith, but more than 90% of them will kneel for their own lives.

"Get up, all of you." Kronos could only persuade them verbally; he couldn't very well help them up one by one himself.

"It's a shame that the elders in my family didn't create a 'spell to help someone who's kneeling up.' Otherwise, I should create one myself. This one should be based on Levitation Spell and Wind Summoning Spell, right?" Kronos thought to himself.

After much persuasion to no avail, Kronos finally said, "I can try, but you all had better leave the village. Not a single living creature can remain. Then I'll investigate."

These words had an immediate effect; the villagers didn't even say a word of thanks before standing up and running back into the village.

Kronos chuckled wryly; it was truly a case of using people to advance and not using them to retreat.

The Village Chief didn't run away, but he stood there looking embarrassed; he hadn't expected these people to do such a thing.

"Village Chief, you should go too. Remember, no living creatures can be left in the village, otherwise it might cause trouble later."

"Oh, oh, oh." The Village Chief finally realized. There was nothing wrong at his own home, but as the Village Chief, he had to make sure every household knew Message this.

So after thanking him, the Village Chief jogged into the village.

Don't be fooled by how slow and sluggish people seem when organizing a group of people to do something. When it comes to interests and lives, they are a completely different story.

In less than an hour, the entire village had arrived outside the village, bringing with them their own chickens, ducks, cattle, and sheep.

In fact, Kronos had already made a rough judgment about this matter at this point, because the indication of disease was quite strong, namely the Sequence 5 of the Demoness Pathway, "Demoness of Affliction".

This Sequence has a unique ability: it can cause disease. Within a 50-meter radius, organisms will gradually become infected, with the severity increasing. Initially, it might just be a skin allergy, a cold, or a fever. After 20 or 30 seconds, it could easily develop into Severe Pneumonia or other diseases. And after two or three minutes, it could lead to a sudden heart attack or stroke.

While it's not certain, the possibility isn't low. Right now, Kronos is hoping that this was caused by some Beyonder Item or something similar, which would make things easier to resolve.

If a Demoness of Affliction were to be living in seclusion here, or if a Sequence 5 Paranormal Creature were hiding here, then perhaps Kronos's friends and family would have a feast.

His time-reading ability is still on cooldown. With the power he has now, it will be difficult for him to escape, especially since Demoness are known for their speed, a fact that Kronos has learned from his battles with Assassin.

So, after confidently walking into Saint Luo Village, Kronos, once he was sure no one could see him, became extremely cautious, appearing from a distance like a complete coward.

At this moment, Kronos did not intend to head straight for the west side of the village, but instead began to arm himself first.

He already wore the Vampire’s Heart and Azure Brooch, so he took out the Lucky One Cane and the Elf Charm, one in each hand, ready for any unexpected situation.

Then, as if suddenly remembering something, she hesitated.

The Lucky One Cane has a luck-based ability that he hasn't used yet. Should he use it at this crucial moment?

The ability to determine luck doesn't rewrite the outcome, nor can it turn the Demoness of Affliction hidden in the village into Beyonder Item, but it can make it easier for him to overcome danger.

However, conversely, if the judgment fails, the level of danger may increase by an unexpected amount when facing peril.

This is what Kronos was worried about: a crisis that could have been dealt with might have become one that he couldn't face.

After much deliberation, Kronos decided to try exploiting a bug, an idea that had crossed Kronos mind since he first acquired the Walking Stick.

Kronos forcefully planted the Lucky One Cane in the ground in front of him, then sat down cross-legged.

He formed the Sun and Moon Seal in his hands, shouted "Alright!", and then activated the Eye of Time to look at the Lucky One Cane.
