Chapter 517: Divination?

Is it this question again?

After hearing the Princess's words, the lazy young man pondered for a while and did not throw the dice immediately, but suggested:

"Your Highness Veronika, although the result I rolled only represents the present, in some problems with a long time span, conditions and results often change, but they don't change every time.

It has 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, alright."

After shrugging helplessly, the lazy young man's right hand loosened, and the two dice hit the table one after another, bouncing a few times before appearing as two bright red ones.

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

The lazy young man said while tapping the table lightly with his knuckles. The two dice jumped and began to roll again.

"Next is to control the military, cooperate with that Minister of Defense, and after eating 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 House to suppress the old nobles; then unite with the old nobles to suppress the Lower House, 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 out rebels and resisting a new round of invasion, take the opportunity to recover powers such as military, finance, legislation, personnel, etc., and 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 is indeed about the same as last time.

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

Indeed, if she did all this, she would indeed have the ability to save this country, but these things are not as simple as ordering a carriage of fruit or secretly removing the locking pin of the wheels.

For every item proposed by the other party, to truly implement it, it requires countless days and nights of painstaking effort and a difficult game with years as a unit. The road she has to walk is still very long...

"Bone-rolling, bone-rolling!"

Just as the Princess was listening intently, for some reason, after the dice on the table reached "fifty-one," they did not continue to advance to "sixty-six," but suddenly rolled at high speed.

Under the lazy young man's dumbfounded gaze, the two dice turned faster and faster, faster and faster, and finally actually ground the solid wood desk until it started to smoke, and a pungent burnt smell began to permeate the entire room.

What is going on?!

Although it was basically impossible for an anomalous object to be destroyed like this, the lazy young man still instinctively reached out to grab it, wanting to force the two dice to stop, but his hand had just touched the dice when it was directly 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 moving slowly. Two sharp edges faced the ceiling, lying quietly in the small pit ground out of the desktop.

"..."

Watching the lazy young man staring blankly at the dice, the Princess could not help but feel a tightening in her heart and hurriedly asked:

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

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

Looking at the bloodstains on the dice and the circles of bloodstains on the desktop, the lazy young man covered his right hand, which was still bleeding, and frowned:

"The question you asked involves a Leon worth more than sixty points... I mean, a true god-level existence. He noticed our peeping, so he stopped this investigation." True god? Why is it related to a true god again?

As someone who knew about the existence of the Cleanup Bureau and anomalous objects, the Princess also knew some information about true gods and understood that they were not as great and generous as the believers said, so she couldn't help but tighten her expression.

"Could it be... that a true god will descend on the Kingdom in the future?"

"Should not be."

The lazy young man shook his head when he heard this, and said with some hesitation:

"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 multiple different-colored wings behind him, the lazy 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 more attention to in the future, or have some cooperation, or even just met a few times. These all have a probability of being coincidentally noticed by him and interrupted the peeping.

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

But that is a true god! How can I not worry?

After listening to the lazy young man's words, the Princess took a deep breath and asked:

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

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

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

"That existence's personality should be considered gentle. After discovering my peeping, he didn't get angry, just punished me a little.

But if I don't know what's good for me and force to peep at the future situation, although it is unlikely to be killed, I am afraid that at the lightest, I will have to lie in bed for a few months."

"Alright, thank you for your hard work."

After sighing with disappointment, the Princess silently took out her checkbook, not only paid the fee as promised, but also added a large sum of remuneration, and then advised with some unease:

"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 abnormality."

After giving a promise to the "old customer," the dusty lazy young man took out a bandage, wrapped his injured right hand, then decisively said goodbye, retrieved his stored suitcase, and rushed toward the Cleanup Bureau.

Although their own Director was a good-talking type, for his important ability that was extremely cherished and could easily change the situation, the General Bureau still 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 task was completed could he have time to come out and secretly "earn 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 task, he was afraid he would have to accept the General Bureau's inspection with his new colleague.

Pushing open the heavy door and entering the Cleanup Bureau, after walking through the dim corridor with his suitcase, he found that the end of the corridor was illuminated by sunlight, and the door of the Director's office seemed to be open. The lazy young man hesitated slightly, did not go directly back to his office, but took out the task report he had already written and walked toward the Director's office.

"Director, I have 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, so the lazy young man apologized politely, and then subconsciously looked at the colleague in the room.

A young man with black hair, black eyes, and a slightly thin figure was looking back at himself with slight surprise...
