Chapter 517: Divination?

Is it this question again?

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

"Your Highness Veronica, 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 should not be much different from the 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 at the moment. If I don't ask this, what else can I ask?"

"Since you insist, then alright."

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

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

While the lazy young man was speaking, he tapped the table lightly with his knuckles, and the two dice jumped and began to roll continuously.

"Next is to control the Military Department, cooperate with that Minister of Defense, and after eating the share of positions vacated by the Ryan 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 cleaning up rebels and resisting a new round of invasion, take the opportunity to recover powers such as military power, 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 originally prepared to do, the Princess couldn't help but smile, and then shook her head slightly.

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

Every item and every clause proposed by the other party, if it wants to be truly implemented, requires countless days and nights of painstaking efforts and difficult games with years as units. The road she has to walk is still very long...

"Bone-rolling, bone-rolling!"

Just when the Princess was listening attentively, for some reason, the dice on the table did not continue to move toward "sixty-six" after reaching "fifty-one," but began to rotate at high speed abruptly.

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 to black smoke, and the pungent burnt smell began to permeate the entire room.

What is going on?!

Although anomalous objects are basically impossible to be destroyed like this, the lazy 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 retracted 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 on the table.

"..."

Looking at the lazy young man who was staring blankly at the dice, the Princess couldn't help but tighten her heart and hurriedly asked:

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

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

Looking at the blood stains on the dice and the circles of blood stains splashed on the table, the lazy young man covered his right hand that was still bleeding, frowned and said:

"The question you asked involves a Leon value of over sixty... 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 Cleanup Bureau and the existence of anomalous objects, the Princess of course also knows some information about true gods, and understands that they are not as great and generous as the believers say, 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:

"True god-level existence, it doesn't necessarily mean 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 on the back, and..."

And inexplicably, it looks a bit familiar...

After recalling the phantom he just saw, and firmly remembering the back of the "true god" with black hair and black eyes, a slightly thin body, and several wings of different colors on his back, the lazy young man comforted:

"And that person is not necessarily targeting the Kingdom. If he is really a true god, you may have conflicts with the believers he pays more attention to in the future, or have some cooperation, or just meet a few times. These all have a probability of being coincidentally noticed by him, and he interrupted 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 in the end, they were all driven back. 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?

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

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

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

After raising his palm that was still bleeding 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 bit.

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

"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 amount of remuneration, and then added not very reassuringly:

"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, took back the stored suitcase and rushed to the Cleanup Bureau.

Although their own director is a type that is easy to talk to, for his extremely precious ability that can easily change the situation, the headquarters 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 task is completed can 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 has already delayed for nearly two days. If he doesn't go back to settle the task, I'm afraid he will have to accept the inspection of the headquarters with the new colleague.

Pushing open the heavy door to enter the Cleanup Bureau, after carrying the suitcase through the dim corridor, finding that the end of the corridor was illuminated by sunlight and the door to 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 open his mouth with the report, finding that there were other people in the office, the lazy young man apologized politely, and then subconsciously looked at his colleague in the room.

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