Chapter 568 Chapter 146 "Winner"
Hazel was very pleasantly surprised when she saw Hope for the first time. She listened carefully and wrote down everything, and then asked:
"When I prepare the medicinal materials, where should I find you?"
"That's it." Emlyn replied.
So the matter was settled, and after confirming some details, Hazel left. Emlyn breathed a sigh of relief. When he turned around, the hill-like priest was looking at him, so Emlyn subconsciously He put his hands together and said:
"Father."
The priest nodded and asked him: "Are you going to tell your friends the good news now?"
"I think so," Emlyn nodded, "But maybe she is watching here...?"
"Are you watching?" The priest's face looked slightly confused.
"Nothing," Emlyn replied quickly, "I'm leaving first, Father."
The priest nodded, and Emlyn left after saying goodbye. He closed his eyes and prayed, relaying everything to Alice.
Following Emlyn's description, Alice cast a thick layer of anti-divination on every character and scene in the story, and warned Emlyn:
"Just mix the potion and give it to her, and let her drink it by herself... Also, tell me after you give her the potion."
Emlyn naturally agreed. Alice thought for a while and decided that she had nothing more to say, so she put the matter aside for the time being.
She was still in St. Samuel's Church at this moment. After the search for acting methods was forced to end due to Hazel, this place became Alice's daily refresh place. She opened her eyes and waved to the bishop. , got up and prepared to go out for a walk.
When she reached the door, Alice stopped again and turned around to look at the person she passed by. This man was gentle and gentle, wearing a pair of glasses. He looked familiar... familiar...
"Roy King!" she blurted.
It is of course impossible to say that she has seen him before, but when looking for the "Dice of Probability", Alice happened to see such a person in the revelation of fate. He was the missing teacher of the fat pharmacist.
Why are you here... Alice frowned, but Roy King had already turned around. When he saw Alice's face, he laughed and said softly:
"Blonde hair, blue eyes, looks young... It seems that this is you?"
Alarm bells that had nothing to do with spirituality rang in her mind. Alice frowned and stared at the stranger warily.
Roy King seemed to like her at first sight. He talked to Alice cordially:
"Miss Destiny? It should be you. My name is Roy King. You seem to know me already? That's right. I think you should know Charlie? We are somewhat related by blood."
Alice opened and closed her mouth several times before trying to confirm:
"...Charlie King?"
"That's right," Roy King nodded, his expression becoming serious, "He embarked on a path that was not suitable for him."
Alice pinched her eyebrows. She was not sure whether she should speak. After all, although she was not the one who killed Charlie King, the cause of his death was inseparable from her. Even the Extraordinary properties are still in her body - she was eaten by her.
This makes Alice's position seem a bit strange, especially since she is not sure what Roy King wants to do - he doesn't seem hostile, but even if he is, it won't change anything.
"I don't think this is the right place for chatting, what about you?" she finally asked.
"I think so too," Roy King smiled, "Excuse me, Your Majesty, can I treat you... um, treat you to a piece of ice cream?"
Hitting the target, Alice agreed without hesitation: "I want raspberry jam with chopped hazelnuts."
After a pause, she asked again:
"Your Majesty?"
At some point in the beginning, Alice had corrected others and asked people to call her that, because the crown represents the will of the true God, and she never generalizes herself to ordinary angels.
Later, due to various reasons, Alice had not corrected other people's names for a while. Now when she heard this name again, it was someone else who took the initiative to call her. Alice frowned, her eyes confused and puzzled.
"Of course Your Majesty," Roy King nodded naturally and stepped forward, "You are the incarnation of our Lord on earth... I am not very familiar with this place. Do you know where the ice cream is better?"
Alice opened and closed her mouth, and finally said to him: "Follow me."
After Alice held an ice cream in her hands that was completely customized according to her requirements, she asked while eating:
"Can I ask who your Lord is?"
"That's exactly what I'm here to ask for," Roy King answered quickly. "After hearing about the incarnation of our Lord, I came to look for you as soon as possible to ask for the Lord's name, the Lord's will, and to listen to the Lord's deeds. ”
"?" A question mark slowly appeared above Alice's head, "You... are not, you, ah?"
Roy King met her eyes, stretched out his hand to draw an "∞" symbol on his chest, and said sincerely:
"I beg your pardon for the gesture I chose to salute you without permission."
"It's okay..." Alice responded subconsciously, and then felt that something was wrong, "No, wait, I want to ask something."
She paused, then frowned and asked Roy King: "Do you know how Charlie King died?"
"I will follow your teachings." Roy King leaned down respectfully.
Alice felt that her brain was smoking. After hesitating for a moment, she tentatively said:
"I was promoted to Sequence 5 using his extraordinary characteristics..."
Roy King said without raising his head: "It is his honor to help you on your way to regain your authority."
"...You don't have a good relationship?" Alice looked hesitant.
"Of course not," Roy King shook his head, "We both belong to the 'School of Life' and were deceived by the Speaker of Destiny in the past. How could we have a bad relationship?"
I understand, there is no conflict, but they are not familiar with each other. They are trying to get closer by blaming a blood relationship that cannot be established.
The corner of Alice's mouth twitched. She tried hard to maintain her expression, and even reflected on whether she had gone too far towards Klein before.
It's not easy for him to play a fool...
Alice pinched her eyebrows and continued to try to ask: "What do you mean by being deceived together... Did Will Asceptin deceive even his subordinates?"
"Of course," Roy King said righteously, "He deceived us by pretending to be your incarnation and your messenger!"
Alice believes that this is definitely not the truth and must have been "modified" in some way.
"Very good," she nodded calmly, "Who are you?"
"We originally had many companions," Roy King looked sad. "Unfortunately, after realizing your incarnation, Will Asceptin retreated to a corner and completely abandoned us. In addition, we Currently facing pursuit..."
He didn't say any more, but Alice also understood the current situation of the "School of Life". She shook her head and tried to analyze the truth hidden in these modified words.
Will Asceptin should still have answered prayers when he was at Velma's place...but maybe not much? In short, it's better than nothing...
It’s hard to say about Hazel, but the time is short anyway and can be ignored. As for Amon... He is not crazy. How could he answer the prayer in Amon’s belly? Maybe he will send a worm of time to his believers. …
In addition, I killed Richard, and the remaining half of the "School of Life" has been being hunted... I understand, Roy King felt that there was no way out following Will Asceptin, so he decisively turned his back... ...decisively abandoned the dark side and turned to the bright side!
Alice suddenly became enlightened, but was later left speechless. She knew that this kind of behavior was understandable, and she might not have chosen it this way, but...
...It’s really insecure to be followed by this kind of person!
Alice gritted her teeth and recalled how she felt when she laughed at the God of Knowledge and Wisdom.
——Alice, let you laugh at fifty steps and laugh at a hundred steps. Is this okay? It's your turn!
She looked at Roy King with a curse and praised her sincerely:
"He is indeed a 'winner'."

"It's my honor." Roy King leaned over and saluted.
Alice opened and closed her mouth, and for a moment she was even a little unsure whether her habit of acting and talking nonsense was influenced by her, Roy King, or whether Roy King influenced her.
"I remember Will Asceptin was not like this either..." Alice murmured to herself, "Forget it about Ourolius, Will is obviously very tough..."
Roy King didn't speak. Alice took a breath and decided to ask something relevant:
"I remember you were the teacher of the fat pharmacist...how is he?"
"Before I came here, he was still running a herbal shop in the Rossed Islands," Roy King replied. "He lived very well there."
Alice blinked and said in surprise: "Didn't he actually move the store? I remember that he scared me away several times because I came to the door..."
"He was always like that," Roy King explained. "I once suggested that he take the 'destiny' path. He was deeply connected to this path, but unfortunately, he avoided it, and for some reason For very personal reasons, he chose the 'pharmacist' path..."
Alice thought of the aphrodisiac that the fat pharmacist had never forgotten. After a moment of silence, she couldn't help but wonder:
"Have you ever eaten it? In my impression, there is a custom among humans that students will prepare something to honor their teachers, either a cherished treasure, an item that the teacher really likes, or something made by themselves... …”
Roy King was rarely stuck, and after a while he said:
"...After knowing the existence of the role-playing method and the potion formula of Sequence 8, I followed the guidance of fate and went to do what I should do."
Alice blurted out: "So you haven't drank his aphrodisiac?"
Roy King opened and closed his mouth, and then said after more than ten seconds: "...Yes."
Alice nodded thoughtfully and murmured:
"Actually, I'm quite curious about the effect... Mainly, I heard later that it was made with mummy powder, and I couldn't figure out why mummy powder would be associated with that kind of thing...
"But it seems that girls can't drink...well, why don't you give it a try after I turn into a boy?"
She looked at Roy King sincerely, as if she was really asking. Roy King opened and closed his mouth, but finally could not say another word.
Alice shook her head and changed the subject: "What do you mean, you didn't bring him with you because he didn't want to?"
Roy King paused and said: "That's not the case, it's just that he always prefers a stable life, is unwilling to follow the footsteps of fate, and is repelled by changes."
"I don't think he is repulsive at all..." Alice muttered, "He obviously moved very quickly before..."
Roy King was silent, and Alice looked at him, her eyes darkening.
Even if it was full of nonsense, there would always be some information revealed, such as Roy King's real purpose, the fact that he was not familiar with Charlie King, and...
"You care about this student, right?" Alice blinked.
She was satisfied to see that Roy King's expression was temporarily out of control, but it was only short-lived, because he quickly smiled and said:
"Maybe it's because I haven't received the tribute from the students yet? I am as curious about the effect of mummy powder as you are."
Alice curved her lips and avoided answering, but mentioned Charlie King again:
"Roy King... I'll call you Roy.
"Roy, do you want to enjoy the same honor as Charlie?"
Roy's body was completely stiff, and Alice didn't say anything. She just stood there and looked at him with a smile. Until a few minutes passed, Roy bowed respectfully and saluted:
"Your Majesty, I am willing to offer everything I have to show my respect for you, but I think I have some other things to do before doing so.
"For example, I hope to learn your honorable name and your will, spread your name to the outside world, and let more people know your existence.
"For example, I heard that you temporarily condescended to the Church of the Night. I think you must have your own deep intentions. I am willing to go deep into the Church of the Night with you and fulfill your wishes for you.
"For example, Will Auceptin once deceived me, and I was extremely angry about it. If you want to deal with Him, I hope to return to His side and become the knife you stab Him with..."
"Pah, pah, pah," Alice couldn't help but applaud him, "You are worthy of being the 'winner'... It seems that I should add one more sentence to the role of the 'winner'?"
She shook her head and glanced at Roy King, who was sweating all over and dared not look up, and said with a smile:
"As long as you always stand on the side of the final winner, you are the 'winner'?
"Really... What a fence-sitter! "
Roy King bent his waist even lower, Alice touched his chin, trying to figure out the true meaning of his words:
"Let me think about it... The first example is to show your value, and the third example is actually just for the surface. In fact, as long as I nod, you will probably turn around and sell it to me to show your loyalty. Then if Will fails in the end, you can sell Him back...
"But I can't figure it out, what do you mean by the second example? It can't be a threat to me, right?" (End of this chapter)
