Chapter 550 Chapter 128 Water dissolves in water

This doesn't sound like a good thing to say... Klein twitched the corner of his mouth and asked sincerely:

"Are you saying this to get me to reject this offer?"

"…I haven't thought about it that much," Alice shook her head. "Although I think Medici's target is definitely not you, to be honest, facing an Angel King is still very dangerous, even if he is an evil spirit…I do want to give you a warning, but I'm worried that my spying on Him will be noticed and attract Him…then He might really attack you!"

After a pause, Alice reminded him as if she remembered something:

"By the way, Medici and Amon had a very good relationship... at least they used to have a good relationship. As for now...

"I don't know what the situation is between the True Creator and Adam. They both seem to be the Ancient Sun God, but the Twilight Hermits or Adam seem to be hostile to the True Creator...

"If nothing unexpected happens, they should be fighting with themselves, which might be like... never mind, that might not be called a fight in our case, anyway...

"I don't know which side Medici is on now, or whether he has simply set up his own faction… Anyway, don't get involved in this, and don't let him find out if you do.

"As for Amon...everyone knows that you and Amon can't have a good relationship. Just do whatever you want."

Yes, everyone knows that Amon and I can't have a good relationship... So, if I tell her that Amon and I are really together, will she be shocked?

Klein, who is currently studying the rules of the "Trickster" role-playing, wrote this down and couldn't help but think about the role-playing method.

The thought only lasted a moment, and Klein quickly gave up on this direction, thinking that this might not be considered a real scare.

This is more like fooling you... Klein looked at Alice and responded inconspicuously, "I understand."

…

The crimson light dissipated, and the real world appeared before his eyes. Pales, who had been waiting for a long time, opened his mouth and asked,

"Are you back?"

Wake up...? Leonard was delighted at first, then he breathed a sigh of relief and said in surprise:

"Hello, old man!"

Pales snorted coldly and didn't answer. Leonard didn't care and told Pales about what he gained from the Tarot Club.

They talked about Dwayne Dantes's identity, the Angel King Adam, and the "War Angel" Medici. After exchanging information, Leonard mentioned his discovery:

"That's right, old man.

"Do you think it's possible that Alice is really...really from those two...?"

He hesitated to speak, and Pales slowly continued his words: "Illegitimate daughter?"

Hearing this speculation again, Leonard still shuddered uncomfortably. He instinctively raised his hand and wanted to draw a crimson moon symbol, but then he felt something was wrong and put his hand down.

Pales watched the whole thing and said,

"What makes you think so?"

Leonard swallowed and said carefully:

"The goddess is known as the Queen of Disaster...

"And that fool, his honorific name includes the words 'yellow and black king who controls good luck'...

"Alice is destiny..."

He swallowed again and didn't say the last words. Even his breathing became much softer, for fear that someone would hear what was happening here.

Pales listened to him and did not speak for a long time. Leonard gradually became flustered in the silence, and finally couldn't help shouting:

"Old man?"

"You are a genius," Pales responded in an emotionless tone.

Leonard paused and asked subconsciously: "Am I right?"

After a moment of silence, Pales said:

"I never understood why you didn't like to use your brain, but now it seems...

"It's better if you don't use your brain."

"?" Leonard felt like he was being scolded.

Pales ignored him and continued,

"According to what you said, could it be that the river of fate is her umbilical cord or placenta? You know, I have never seen anyone favored by fate to this extent..."

Leonard smiled awkwardly and quickly changed the subject:

"By the way, old man, do you know where the River of Destiny is?"

"What are you looking for that for?" Pales asked back.

Leonard explained: "It's not me who is looking for it, it's her who is looking for the River of Destiny."

"...She doesn't know where the River of Destiny is?" Pales asked in surprise.

"It should be..." Leonard answered uncertainly, "She said that she had stepped into the River of Destiny many times and even slept in it for thousands of years, but she didn't know where the River of Destiny was exactly..."

Pales smiled and said:

"This is consistent with some rumors.

"'Destiny' is a very special path... especially their high sequence.

"There are no living 'prophet' in this world, 'Mercury Snake' doesn't like to see people, and the remaining 'Doom Wizard' and 'Chaos Walker'...

"One of them is haunted by bad luck, the other is chased by chaos, and neither of them can take care of themselves.

"Some people have speculated that the reason for this phenomenon is that fate has already chosen an incarnation, and this incarnation... is unwilling to accept this fate.

"So, fate vented its anger on other extraordinary people."

"Huh?" Leonard asked in surprise.

"It's hard to believe, isn't it?" Pales said with a leisurely smile, "It's just a joke without a source. I was curious and tried to find the source of this rumor, but unfortunately, I couldn't find it."

"No, I want to ask..." Leonard swallowed, "This chosen incarnation is Alice?"

"I don't know," Palles said frankly, "Perhaps you should ask the source of the rumor. As for the river of fate..."

Pales paused for a moment before saying in an inexplicable tone:

"To be honest, I'm also curious.

"The River of Fate is a symbol of destiny. Similar images include a giant snake connected head to tail, a slowly rotating wheel divided into multiple grids, etc. Many extraordinary people have seen these scenes when their destiny changes, and I am no exception.

"But the extraordinary people on the path of 'Destiny' prefer this river. They believe that their own advancement is a process of gradually approaching and merging into the long river of destiny, and never mention other symbols.

"But if you ask them where the river of destiny is... none of these charlatans can answer. They will only tell you a bunch of nonsense like 'it will appear when it is supposed to appear' and 'it will only appear in front of the person who is supposed to appear'.

"Now it seems that this Miss Destiny is no exception?"

…

The crimson light dissipated, and the "Magician" Fors opened his eyes, and found that the "Judge" Xio next to him also opened his eyes.

"Xiu, how are you?" she asked with concern.

Xio shook his head and said, "Didn't you tell me the basics? But... I really didn't think that Dwayne Dantès was Gehrman Sparrow."

When this matter was brought up, Fors's expression became forced. They fell silent. After more than ten seconds, Xio spoke first:

"Are you going to write a letter? About the long river of fate..."

This is also one of the things that Forsgang was honest about.

Fors nodded, and Xio looked at her deeply and said,

"Next time something like this happens, I still hope that we can face it together."

Fors smiled awkwardly, and Xio left without saying anything more.

Not long after, Fors also stood up, found paper and pen, and began to write a letter to his teacher, asking whether there was a long river of destiny in the spiritual world.

…

The Hermit Cattleya opened her eyes. She was in the captain's room of the Future. She frowned and stared out the window, muttering,

"The long river of fate... the spirit world..."

This was a concept that was not unfamiliar to her. The Sequence 3 of the Hermit Path was called "Master of Prophecy". The "Mysterious Queen" Bernadette was a "Master of Prophecy" who was preparing for promotion. She possessed a pair of eyes that could peek into the long river of fate.

But Cattleya had never heard of the location of the Long River of Destiny, nor had she seen it with her own eyes... No, maybe she had really seen it.

Cattleya closed her eyes and recalled the light that burned her eyes.

She pinched her brows, picked up her pen and wrote a letter to the "Mysterious Queen" to ask for advice on relevant matters.

…

"The long river of destiny…" "The Sun" Derrick opened his eyes in reality, and all he saw was empty darkness.

He is undergoing the routine quarantine every time he returns to Silver City.

Of course, he had never heard of the news about the River of Destiny. Extraordinaries who were not on the "Destiny" path had to reach the High Sequence to truly touch the symbol of destiny. However, due to the difficulty in completing the ritual, there were not many High Sequences in the City of Silver, and most of them were Extraordinaries on the "Warrior" path.

Even if that wasn't the case, Derrick had the impression that no one in Silver City seemed to be good at matters related to fate.

"I don't think I've found it in the information…" "The Sun" Derrick frowned and decided to look it up again after he got out.

…

As soon as Emlyn opened his eyes, he sat up. He raised his eyebrows and smiled proudly. He sat up straight and said to himself:

"I will be able to meet that lord soon... If everything goes well, maybe I can take the opportunity to ask him about the River of Destiny.

"I can also ask other people... Ha, as long as I can ask, she... No, Miss Destiny should not hold on to that account.

"Really... she couldn't win the argument, so why did she turn hostile? Our vampire angels are so steady..."

…

"The Long River of Destiny…" Alger, the "Hanged Man," opened his eyes and frowned.

In the entire Tarot Club, he was probably the only one who had no idea about this commission.

The news about the River of Destiny and the river water was undoubtedly far beyond his scope. It was difficult for him to get relevant information either among the pirates or within the church.

"I could ask for information from Beyonders on the path of 'Destiny'…" he muttered to himself, "But those charlatans either don't understand what they are saying, or they themselves don't know…"

"The Hanged Man" Alger frowned irritably and walked out of the captain's room.

…

After leaving the gray fog, Alice thought for a moment, then drew the symbol to summon Arrodes.

As the last stroke fell, the mirror in the room turned into flowing water waves. In the deep gray light, a little flowing silver light gathered into one Loen word after another:

"Great Miss Destiny, you summoned me here. Is there any test?"

"I have something to ask you," Alice looked at the mirror, "Where is the River of Destiny?"

She asked directly, and Arrodes answered directly:

"I am happy to answer your questions and offer my loyalty to you, but...

"Ms. Destiny, I don't know the exact location of the River of Destiny. I only know that its projection has appeared in the spirit world. In addition...

"It will appear at the right time and in front of the right people."

"?" Alice looked at the mirror as if it was a lunatic.

The light projected by Arrodes trembled for a moment before new words appeared:

"If you want to know more, you can ask the Seven Lights of the Spirit World. However, if it is you...

"I think as long as you step into the spirit world with the purpose of finding the long river of destiny, you will naturally be able to find it.

"You are already an integral part of destiny."

Alice narrowed her eyes, then suddenly laughed and asked curiously,

"Your master told me that you saw support and domination in him...

"Maybe you don't know what this means, maybe you know but didn't tell him... It doesn't matter, anyway, this is not what he can hear right now, I just want to ask you...

"Arrodes, what do you see in me?"

Arrodes became quiet, and the silver light on the mirror disappeared without a trace. If the mirror still couldn't reflect her face, Alice would have almost thought that Arrodes disappeared.

...Maybe I've become a vampire?

No, that's not right. It can't even reflect the scene behind me now. We can't all become vampires...

A mess of thoughts rose up in Alice's mind, but were quickly suppressed by her because a picture appeared in front of her.

It was a long river of light, just like what Alice saw every time, with waves rising one after another, and countless tributaries converging into a main channel, which then dispersed into tributaries, then converged again, and dispersed again...

There was no beginning or end in the mirror. Alice frowned slightly, knowing very well in her heart that it was the long river of fate. This answer was not surprising. She shook her head and was about to speak, but suddenly stopped.

——Something happened on the screen.

Alice stared at the mirror intently, and saw river water coming from nowhere suddenly appearing at the edge of the picture. Then the river moved towards the river water, and the river water also spontaneously approached the river until it fell into it.

But it seemed that something was wrapped around the mass of river water. After falling into the river, the mass of river water did not merge into it, but was clearly distinguished from other river water. It was washed around, and was gradually absorbed into the water and sank to the bottom of the river.

This scene made Alice narrow her eyes little by little. She stared at the mirror, and the image on it disappeared at this moment, turning into silver text:

"I see you in it…

"It dissolved."
