After sitting down, Iluna said softly. When she put her hands on the huge round table and looked at her opponents in the other two directions, she frowned slightly. A huge amount of information was pouring into her mind through "another me".
That's a very complex set of game rules.
"Miss Paavo said that we will have the honor to play a game with the chosen ones. I have been looking forward to it for a long time. Miss, I hope you can have a good time."
Professor Angs still smiled, and after finishing speaking, he said loudly:
"Game players are all ready. Mr. Secret Keeper, please start tonight's story."
After the words fell, before anything happened, Agelina suddenly trembled and grabbed Lesia's sleeves. Then, with a clanging sound, like a dice falling to the ground, the only round table without a chair on the west side,
In the darkness that was not illuminated by the skylight, a figure wrapped in a black robe and a hood walked to the table, as if it had been standing in the darkness, waiting for the three of them to sit down.
No one could clearly see any of its physical features. The robe touched the floor, the sleeves covered its arms and hands, and it was even darker under the hood.
No one spoke for a moment, and the strange whispering element made everyone frown. The two high-level warlocks protected the three princesses, but in fact, the three of them had their own thoughts.
Iluna frowned, and as she turned to look at the black-robed "Secretkeeper", her long brown hair was swaying. This was not the first time for the seventeen-year-old girl to face an angel-level relic.
I feel that the power displayed by this relic so far is not very strong.
The figure in the black robe did not speak, but raised his right arm that was shrouded in the robe. Six ten-sided ivory dice fell from the cuff. The sound of the falling dice made everyone feel that their hearts were changing with the sound.
beating frequency.
Six dice rolled towards the three people on the table, and finally stopped in their hands. Each person had two dice, one with ten numbers from 0 to 9, and one with ten numbers from 00, 10, 20 to 90.
.
Professor Anse from the Truth Society picked up the dice with a smile on his lips, as if he was admiring some art under the light; the cultist who believed in the evil god [Mr.
Iluna also reached out and grabbed two jade-colored dice that looked like bones. The cold feeling made her take a breath.
People around were looking at the three people. Princess Margaret narrowed her eyes. She didn't notice Lesia observing her, while Agelina was half afraid and half excited, hiding behind Lesia, biting.
Looking at the three people in the light with pursed lips.
"Sixth Era, 1857 Universal Calendar, Scene 1472 of the Dice Story - Chasing the Thief [Jack the Thief]. The storyteller is Isaac Once, Frippe Dion, and Iluna Bayas.
"
Voices seemed to appear from all directions, and Professor Angce smiled:
"That's why the scene was chosen here. To win a game and win twice, Miss Pavo's plan is really brilliant."
"But how do we sit here and catch a thief? Since we are the storytellers, who are the characters in the story?"
Iluna asked in a low voice, and the next words made her expression change.
"Please choose an ordinary human being as the manipulated character. The target must be familiar with you and be currently active in the area."
"What?"
In the wide sleeve of the black-robed secret keeper, a silver hourglass fell on the table, and the fine sand continued to flow downward. No need to explain, Iluna knew that it meant countdown.
Professor Angs chuckled:
"I want to pay a [Coin of Wisdom] to make additional choices."
The blue coin is placed on the table:
"I choose the first-circle warlock Chogory Dius as my control character. He is currently located at the Golden October Restaurant on Silver Cross Avenue."
"I also pay a [Coin of Wisdom] to make additional choices."
Dion, a cultist who believes in Mr. Doom, also smiled and said, also taking out a blue coin and placing it on the table:
"I chose the first-circle warlock Lydia Penglo as my control character. She is also located at the Golden October Restaurant on Silver Cross Avenue."
"You guys are cheating! I can only choose ordinary people, but you..."
Iluna scolded in a low voice.
"Young chosen one, this is a fair game."
Professor Ance said softly. The professor, who was wearing a neat formal suit, was explaining his reasoning like a real professor in a university classroom:
"Extra effort means extra gain. We paid for the relic and you didn't, so that's fair. By the way, Hourglass's time is running out."
He also reminded "kindly".
"Beas, there are many police officers with guns outside now."
Miss Green originally remained silent, but now she had to whisper to Iluna. She put her hand on Iluna's shoulder to calm her down:
"Remember carefully the people you know."
"Beas, do you know the devout believers of the Church of the Sun living here?"
Mr. Modelo also reminded in a low voice and added:
"Don't be nervous. I have participated in the containment of more than one relic with rules like this. Just treat it as a game and a story. Extraordinary force may be useful, but in this kind of game, devout faith can also play a role.
effect."
"This is the Seer Association. Maybe we can try those soothsayers who have high inspiration but are not magicians."
The bearded captain who created the church also said softly, but he was not sure whether the chosen one was familiar with an ordinary fortune teller.
Iluna pursed her lips and looked at the hourglass sliding down in front of her. Whenever she wanted to open her mouth to say a name, "Another Me" would prompt her whether those names could be chosen. Ring Warlock's "Another Me"
It is to prevent mortal souls from directly contacting the terrifying power of similar relics, so it comes into play at this time.
"I can also give you a suggestion."
Professor Angs smiled and said while playing with two dice:
"The story characters we manipulate have no self-awareness while the relic is in effect. They will only accept our orders and act according to instinct, and will forget everything after the relic's effect ends. Therefore, you should choose a character with strong self-awareness."
Iluna didn't speak. Names passed through her mind one by one. She was particularly sober at this time:
"To have weapons and combat effectiveness, it is best to know the extraordinary and have strong enough mental power to not collapse easily..."
She was adapting to this strange rule-based relic. During her training in the Holy See, Iluna had read about some similar relics. It was very interesting when she read the information, and she imagined what would happen if she encountered it. This time she really encountered it...
....If her opponents weren't "cheating", she would still find it interesting.
The sand in the hourglass slipped quickly, and no one came to disturb Iluna's thoughts. Because she thought of a name too many times tonight, suddenly, the name that did not meet the requirements jumped into her mind, and then "another one"
I" came to a surprising conclusion.
Iluna opened her eyes slightly, and after confirming the gentle voice in her ear again and again, she turned to her colleagues and said:
"I do have the best candidate here, that is my good friend. I am a little uneasy about him being involved."
"You will lose your memory afterwards, and you won't even know about the relic. Bayas, you can choose the person you like, and the church will do the finishing work."
Miss Green whispered, Iluna nodded, glanced at Lesia with her peripheral vision, and before the fine sand in the gorgeous silver hourglass drained away, she said the name that should not be spoken:
"Ordinary person...Shad Suellen Hamilton, he should be in the Seer Association now. He should be in this room, but I didn't see him, but he is definitely still on this floor."
"Ordinary people?"
Lesia frowned slightly, but then relaxed her brows. Whatever happened to Shade was normal. The little princess Agelina thought there was nothing wrong with it. She always believed that Shade was omnipotent. Princess Margaret
His eyes widened, suspecting that something major had gone wrong.
"Hamilton."
Professor Ance thought about the name in his mind and remembered that Miss Pavo had mentioned that she had lost to the Knight of Tobesk at Rhodes at Lakeview Manor.
After Iluna made her choice, three rolls of parchment appeared in the hands of the three of them. At the same time, densely packed building blocks fell from the sky on the huge round table.
The building blocks fell and made a strange rustling sound. The seemingly messy small squares were built on the table to create a schematic diagram of the terrain and buildings around Yodel Palace-Saint Teresa Square. Church ring wizards who are familiar with this neighborhood saw this.
Come out, every detail of the building block construction is extremely real.
"The Dice Story is about to begin. The abilities of each character are recorded on the parchment. When performing actions, roll the dice for judgment, and obtain additional bonuses based on the character's special characteristics and abilities. Certain unique symbols can be manipulated
Characters are given special powers to enrich the interest of the story.”
The sound still came from the darkness in all directions. The three people at the table each opened the parchment at hand. The professor and the cultist both showed a satisfied smile. The information of the first-ring warlock was densely packed. This is the biggest difference between the ring warlock and ordinary people.
.
Iluna worriedly opened the parchment of "ordinary person" Shad Hamilton. Through the rules, she knew that the people behind her could not see the contents on the parchment.
"[Mortal Luck] Shad Suellen Hamilton."
She first saw the names of the characters in the story on the top line. "Mortal Luck" is the title given to each character in the story.
Then, Iluna squinted her eyes and continued to look down, and then she saw letters that were more densely packed than a math textbook. She took a deep breath and scanned the list of the four-ring warlock's abilities, as well as various letters that she didn't recognize at all.
Type ancient characters, and finally closed the parchment with a sullen face:
"Winning is no problem, the key is to hide the fact that Shade is a ring warlock."
