Chapter 115

114 Divination?

Is it this question again?

Hearing the Princess's words, the weary young man pondered for a while, didn't throw the dice immediately, but suggested:

"Your Highness Veronica, although the results I roll only represent the present, in some questions with a long time span, conditions and results often change, but not every time."

"It's only been a few months since you last asked this question. If you ask this question now, the result shouldn't be much different from last time, so you'd better change to a new question."

"No change, just this one."

The Princess shook her head and said calmly:

"This is my inherent responsibility, and it is also my only expectation right now. If I don't ask this, what else can I ask?"

"Since you insist, okay."

After shrugging helplessly, the weary young man's right hand loosened, and the two dice hit the desktop one after another. After bouncing a few times, two bright red ones appeared.

"Because of the Laien family matter, the probability that you can save the Kingdom is indeed two points higher than last time, reaching eleven percent."

The weary young man said while tapping the desktop lightly with his knuckles. The two dice jumped and continued to roll.

"Next is to control the military, cooperate with that Minister of Defense, and after eating up the share of positions vacated by the Laien family, the probability will increase by another two points."

"Then it is to unite with the Prime Minister, intervene in the Upper Academy to suppress the old nobles; then unite with the old nobles to suppress the Lower Academy, and introduce bills to restrict some commercial activities and increase taxes. After doing these, the probability will increase to twenty-six points;"

"Then it is to find a way to become Queen, and through clearing rebels and resisting a new round of invasion, take the opportunity to recover rights such as military power, finance, legislation, and personnel, and then promote a group of officials who have the same vision as you. At this time, the probability will increase to fifty-one points in one breath..."

It's indeed about the same as last time.

Listening to the rising probability and these things she was originally prepared to do, the Princess couldn't help but smile, then shook her head slightly.

Indeed, if she did all this, she would have the ability to save the Kingdom, but these things are not as simple as ordering a carriage of fruit or secretly removing wheel locks.

Every item proposed by the other party, if she wants to truly implement it, requires countless days and nights of painstaking effort and a difficult game measured in years. The road she has to walk is still very long...

"Rolling, rolling!"

Just as the Princess was listening carefully, for some reason, the dice on the table didn't continue to advance to "sixty-six" after reaching "fifty-one," but suddenly rolled at high speed.

Under the weary young man's stunned gaze, the two dice turned faster and faster, faster and faster, and finally, the solid wood desk was ground into black smoke, and a pungent burnt smell began to permeate the entire room.

What's going on?!

Although anomalous objects are basically impossible to be destroyed like this, the weary young man still instinctively reached out to grab them, wanting to force the two dice to stop, but his hand just touched the dice and was scratched by the two high-speed rotating bone dice.

When he hurriedly withdrew his hand because of the pain, the two blood-stained dice bumped into each other a few times, and finally stopped and stopped moving, two sharp corners facing the ceiling, lying quietly in the small pit ground out on the desktop.

"..."

Looking at the weary young man staring at the dice, the Princess felt tight in her heart and hurriedly asked:

"Why are two corners representing 'zero' facing up? What does this mean?"

"It means... this time it didn't fully activate."

Looking at the dice stained with his own blood, and the circles of blood stains on the desktop, the weary young man covered his still-bleeding right hand and frowned:

"The question you asked involves a Li Ang worth more than sixty points... I mean, a True God-level existence. He noticed our peeping, so he stopped this investigation."

True God? How did it get involved with a True God again?

As someone who knows about the existence of the Cleanup Bureau and anomalous objects, the Princess naturally also knows some information about True Gods, understanding that they are not as great and generous as the believers say, and her expression tightened.

"Could it be... that a True God will descend on the Kingdom in the future?"

"Should not be."

The weary young man shook his head and said hesitantly:

"A True God-level existence is not necessarily a True God. Although I didn't see that person's appearance, looking at the body shape, I feel it should be a human, but there are multiple wings behind, and..."

And inexplicably, it looks a bit familiar...

Recalling the phantom he just saw, and firmly remembering the back of that "True God" who was black-haired, black-eyed, slightly thin, and had several different-colored wings behind him, the weary young man comforted:

"And that person is not necessarily targeting the Kingdom. If he is really a True God, you might have conflicts with the believers he pays attention to in the future, or have some cooperation, or just meet a few times. These all have a probability of being accidentally noticed by him and he will interrupt the peeping."

"However, with our Cleanup Bureau, there will definitely be no big problems. I don't know how many True Gods tried to descend before, but they were all driven back in the end. No True God can stay in this world for a long time, so you don't need to worry too much."

But that is a True God! How can I not worry?

Listening to the weary young man's words, the Princess took a deep breath and asked:

"So can you try to roll again? Determine the situation."

"Sorry, this really won't work..."

After raising his still-bleeding palm and shaking it at the Princess, the weary young man said helplessly:

"The character of that existence should be relatively gentle. After discovering my peeping, he didn't get angry, but just punished me a little."

"But if I don't know what's good for me and force a peep into the future, although it's unlikely I'll be killed, I'm afraid the lightest punishment will be lying in bed for a few months."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

After sighing disappointedly, the Princess silently took out her checkbook, not only paid the fee as promised, but also added a large sum of remuneration, and then instructed uneasily:

"After a while, if that True God is no longer staring at you..."

"Then I will immediately make up for this result, and I will notify you as soon as there is any anomaly."

After giving a promise to the "old customer," the weary young man, who was dusty and tired, took out a bandage, wrapped his injured right hand, then decisively said goodbye, took back the suitcase he had deposited, and rushed toward the Cleanup Bureau.

Although his own Director is a relatively easy-going type, for his extremely precious ability that can easily change the situation, the General Bureau has set quite strict management regulations.

Especially in terms of whereabouts, where he went and who he contacted must be reported in detail, so only in the gap before and after the mission can he have time to come out and secretly "fish for extra money."

And in order to help that new colleague to the Duke's throne, he had already delayed for almost two days. If he didn't go back to settle the mission, he would have to undergo inspection by the General Bureau with the new colleague.

Pushing open the heavy door and entering the Cleanup Bureau, carrying the suitcase through the dim corridor, finding that the end of the corridor was illuminated by sunlight, and the door of the Director's office seemed to be open, the weary young man hesitated slightly, didn't go directly back to his office, but took out the mission report he had written long ago and walked toward the Director's office.

"Director, I've finished the investigation and returned... Ah... sorry."

Just as he was about to speak with the report, he found that there were other people in the office, and the weary young man apologized politely, then subconsciously looked at his colleague in the room.

A black-haired, black-eyed, slightly thin young man was looking back at him with slight surprise...
