Chapter 2028

The witch was the last person to make a choice. As her voice fell, three scrolls of parchment appeared beside the three people respectively. At the same time, on that huge circular table, dense building blocks fell from the sky.

The falling blocks made a strange rustling sound. The seemingly messy small squares built a detailed topographic and street building schematic of Moon Bay City on the table. The block map did not cover all areas of the city, only about one-third of the city centered on the Belindell Big Ben and the City Council.

But this was already large enough. The water flow symbolizing the Taton River appeared out of thin air and filled the position symbolizing the "river channel" in the blocks. Every tiny grain-like workpiece on the unfinished "Moon Bay Bridge" was extremely detailed. It could be said that except for the lack of a huge number of people, the "block city" was almost equivalent to a reduced version of the real city.

Everyone heard a voice:

"The Dice Story Collection is about to begin. The parchment records the abilities of each character. When performing actions, roll the dice for judgment, and obtain additional bonuses based on character specificity and abilities. Some unique symbols can endow the manipulated character with special powers to enrich the fun of the story."

It was just that before the impatient witch could look through the rolled-up parchment to check and confirm the authenticity of the "Seven-Ring," the woman in the black dress tossed out the 【Coin of Wisdom】 again, and this time a full four of them:

"Although Lady Amethyst and the Priest have not formed an alliance, they are both hostile to me. In order to balance this story, I hope this game can be more interesting—

All values on the parchment information seen by everyone are hidden, and the introduction of special abilities can only show a maximum of four items. This information hiding will not affect the exertion of reality abilities, but only when rolling the dice can the size of the hidden values be known."

"Values can be displayed when used, but if you don't know what the special ability is specifically, you can't use the special ability."

Miss Marina behind Mr. York O'Connor immediately discovered the real trap of this additional rule, and the man from the 【Light-Worshipper Seminar】 nodded to her:

"So, this is not only about gambling on luck, but also about how much you know about the people you choose. You wouldn't have chosen someone you didn't know particularly well just to win, would you?"

The witch, whose expression was a bit ugly, clearly felt that there was a mocking meaning in his tone.

The three picked up their respective parchment scrolls together. The witch looked at the large areas of letters painted into black squares on them, and first looked at the character title marked at the very front:

【Foreign Traveler · Miss Charlotte】

"Hmm? Is her real name really Charlotte?"

Then she read the four special abilities she could see:

【■■■■ Witch's Rhetoric: This is an innate talent. Some people once said that even if the whole body is tied up and only the mouth is left, the holder of the ability can make themselves occupy the advantage. The peak of so-called rhetoric is probably nothing more than this. In any occasion where judgments such as "rhetoric," "charm," "persuasion," etc., are performed on women, "rhetoric" gets an additional bonus of 20, and "charm■" gets an additional bonus of 31.】

Because of the existence of the word "witch," the Great Witch of Fate considered this a unique talent of the witch's followers. Although the full name of the special ability could not be seen, the value was truly amazing. It was just that she could not let Miss Charlotte use this ability, because using special abilities required stating the specific content, but the word "witch" must never be revealed.

She was very curious about how that Miss Charlotte trained this ability from the opera troupe:

"Vanessa's eye is really good. Rhetoric and charm... really know how to enjoy."

Then came the second one—

【Earth Power: Standing on the earth, the ancient ■ earth gives power. This is the blessing of the earth as a cornerstone, the proof of completing the ■■■■ great cause, and the proof of being recognized by ■■. In occasions where both feet have not left the ground, "strength" judgment obtains a 3.0-fold coefficient increase and an additional bonus of 90 points.】

That is to say, even if the strength judgment rolled a "33," it was equivalent to "99 + 90 + the character's own basic strength." Miss Belindell was not surprised by this kind of special ability. In her view, this was just a special blessing given to her followers by the Witch of Earth who had already advanced to the twelfth tier. After all, she had never played "Dice Story Collection," so she didn't know what this exaggerated bonus meant:

"Vanessa still has some skills. This girl under her is not bad. It seems that it is indeed very necessary to let Miss Charlotte help me do some things locally."

After that was the third one—

【Blessing of the Red Butterfly: Concluded the originally sad ■ story, adding new ■■ to the story that has already ended. Non-human things can still be saved, and non-human things are also willing to offer their own ■■. Besides that, having intimate relations ■ with humanoid relics is enough to demonstrate the courage as a human. Illusion resistance additional bonus 50, when facing relics, mental resistance additional bonus 73.】

For a moment, Bella Belindell thought she was dazzled. She took a deep breath to calm her emotions, and below this special ability, there was actually an additional column:

【Legend Degree - Butterfly Player: Playing with butterflies, wings flying together, in the forest and under the snow, achieving legend. When judging charm, the total points obtain a 2.0-fold coefficient bonus. Facing humanoid ■ relics, obtain an initial additional 30 points of favor ■. For all existences who know the concept of "relic," cause an additional 1.8-fold coefficient bonus intimidation effect.】

"With relics... what?"

She even forgot to breathe at this moment, fearing that she had read it wrong, so she read it again, and then inevitably imagined in her head the tall and moving human girl, saying high-level love words, with a charming expression on her face, reaching out to pick the chin of a relic that had strange organs like tentacles, was pitiful, and looked beautiful and evil, flirting in strange ruins.

She swallowed a mouthful of saliva. If it weren't for the fact that the remaining time to check the data was not long, she would even want to read it again:

"Vanessa, do you know what your follower has done? Wait, you wouldn't really know, would you? What do the girls of the Golden Dawn usually do? Oh, you celibate, you wouldn't secretly..."

Although surprised, or rather astonished, at least from the current situation, the girl who called herself "Miss Charlotte" was indeed a Ringed Shushi. After all, even a Ringed Shushi couldn't be intimate... with a relic.

She shook her head, forcing herself not to think or imagine, but to continue to look at the fourth one—

【Inconstant Fate: A foreigner who arrived due to an impossible accident, no one knows the story that follows. Not in fate, sitting under the stage. Divination resistance additional bonus??.】

Although the last special ability was short, the Great Witch of Fate was most concerned about this special ability... after all, the very powerful third one was too shameful. With more fire in her eyes, she just liked this kind of girl with a special fate:

"Although it is possible that the effect was exaggerated by the 【Dice Story Collection】, this kind of special fate is really charming... Vanessa, where on earth did you find this kind of girl... After the story ends, I must divine for her once. No, maybe twice or three times."

The witch with a lip-red birthmark on her brow licked her lips, and her curiosity about "Miss Charlotte" had reached its peak.

Although the four abilities were not comprehensive, the witch believed that the basic values of "Miss Charlotte" were absolutely high. Of course, because she couldn't see other abilities outside these four special abilities, maybe the woman from the 【Light-Worshipper Seminar】 had other conspiracies. The next game still needed to be cautious. Bella Belindell also played Luo De cards, and knew very well that the lead at the beginning did not necessarily mean that one would definitely win.

Especially in the case where it was clear that the other party would definitely cheat.

Of course, although the basic values and special abilities were hidden, the "symbols" carried by each character could be seen. Miss Belindell saw that "Miss Charlotte" carried a total of three symbols, one of which even originally belonged to her.

【Special Divination Card - Empress: The symbol of forming a bond when a person of fate chooses a person of fate. Luck is improved, and no matter when the dice are rolled, an automatic 5-point bonus is obtained.】

This was the item the witch left in Xia De's hands when they met on Friday night.

【Abnormally Expensive Luo De Deck: No one can imagine the content of that deck. Luck is improved, and no matter when the dice are rolled, an automatic 5-point bonus is obtained.】

This was actually the "invincible Luo De deck" that Iluna saw back then, just with a different name.

【Beloved Crystal Shoes: The shoes of a certain red-haired lady, carried with her and carefully preserved, and frequently used in places where no one is around. When judging female charm, obtain an additional 10-point bonus.】

"The crystal shoes of the girl beloved by Miss Charlotte... carrying other people's shoes with her, frequently using them..."

The image of "Miss Charlotte" became more vivid in her eyes, even a bit overly vivid:

"Using them in private is just trying them on, not meaning anything else."

She told herself in her heart.

As for the origin of the crystal shoes, she didn't think much about it. "Miss Charlotte" was a girl from the Golden Dawn Opera Troupe, and it was normal to carry items like "crystal shoes" that one could tell were performance props of the troupe:

"Wait, this wouldn't be Vanessa's shoes, would it? But she doesn't have red hair."

And after the witch finished reading all the content on the parchment scroll, the woman in the black dress from the 【Light-Worshipper Seminar】 and Mr. O'Connor from the 【Dawn Church】 had also finished reading the content. The latter, like the witch, could not see many items, while the former already knew all the information about the Ringed Shushi she chose, so she had a bottom line after roughly looking at the four special abilities.

"This is an ordinary summer afternoon. People in the city center of Moon Bay, the City of Wealth, do not know what kind of wonderful story is about to happen here. The audience is in place, the players are seated, and the protagonists of the story—【Silent One】 George Pitt, 【Detective】 Connelly Osborne, 【Foreign Traveler】 Charlotte, have already realized in a trance that the gears of fate are turning again at this moment."

Accompanied by the introduction of the hoarse voice, the people on the clock tower terrace all looked at the block city scene on the huge round table. I saw three small dolls appear abruptly. The body shapes of the dolls were completely similar, but they were wearing different clothes, showing the current positions and states of the "story protagonists."
