Chapter 2031

Moon Bay City, Parsifal Club.

"Good afternoon, Mrs. Frey."

"Oh, good afternoon. Why, you left in the morning and came back in the afternoon. Have you finally figured it out and want to find the girls here?"

Xia De greeted Mrs. Frey familiarly, and the lady who was holding a feather fan and smiling with narrowed eyes also warmly welcomed Xia De:

"Or do you want to do other business with me?"

"Yes, I still want to inquire about some things."

Xia De showed a smile, and at the same time heard the very clear clattering sound of dice jumping in his ears.

Even though his face was disguised by the witch's eyeshadow, Mrs. Frey was still stunned under such a smile. The charm judgment passed. Although it wouldn't make her offer loyalty to Xia De immediately like the witch teased, Mrs. Frey still greeted Xia De to talk in a place where no one was around even more warmly.

So the two came to the third floor again, and Xia De also explained what he wanted to investigate:

"Freeman Hawthorne was attacked here. I want to know the details, those details that cannot be told to others."

As he said that, he was about to take out his wallet, but it was pressed back by the closed fan. Mrs. Frey tapped his arm lightly with the fan and said reproachfully:

"Look at these muscles... I mean, it's just a small problem like this, no need to pay. Whatever you want to know, I can tell you. Boatman, where did you meet such a beautiful person?"

Xia De complained in his heart that the witch chose "charm" instead of "persuasion," but on the surface, he was still thanking Mrs. Frey for her generosity.

Thus, he and the witch on the clock tower obtained further information together:

"【Foreign Traveler】 charm judgment successful, obtain basic information 'The crime scene is this room; this case is investigated by the Moon Bay City Police Department, and they have already mastered certain evidence'. Because the total points exceeded 200, obtain extra information '3. When the unconscious Freeman Hawthorne was found, he was unconsciously saying 'Eternal Light' in his mouth'; because the total points exceeded 300, obtain extra information '4. Although the criminal knocked out the two technical workers who were in the same room as Hawthorne, he untied them and covered them with blankets, leaving two Oer silver coins for each'."

The witch suddenly realized:

"So the next two investigation directions are: investigate the room and go to the Moon Bay City Police Department. And this matter is related to Eternal Light! Being considerate of the poor also conforms to their external propaganda! Wait, isn't the organization Eternal Light an ordinary people's organization?"

"What does this matter have to do with Eternal Light?"

Xia De in the club thought in surprise, but immediately recalled that the three questions he asked Hawthorne were "three Luo De cards, sorcerers and relics, Eternal Light." Obviously, although "Mind Blast" caused the other party to lose a large amount of memory, it only left the memory of this word.

It was just that these two extra pieces of information had no direct connection with the real criminal. As the real criminal, Xia De wanted to give the witch some hints, but "She" in his ear reminded him at this time:

"Someone is eavesdropping outside the window, it's that 【Silencer】."

"【Silencer】's second round, second round action, in stealth state, eavesdrop on the information obtained by 【Foreign Traveler】!"

Before the witch could ponder the newly obtained information, the woman in the black dress spoke. Miss Belindell frowned at her, and then picked up the dice:

"Since everyone is a sorcerer, let's try it. 【Foreign Traveler】's second round, second round action, investigate the eavesdropper!"

"【Silencer】 and 【Foreign Traveler】 confront each other. Because of the current stealth state, 【Silencer】 has already obtained basic information. The sum of 【Silencer】's dice points and 【Stealth】 and 【Luck】 basic values is the total points. Because the first round of stealth was successful, obtain an extra bonus of 50 points.

The sum of 【Foreign Traveler】's dice points and 【Luck】 and 【Investigation】 basic values is the total points. Because 【Silencer】 is in a stealth state, 【Foreign Traveler】's 【Investigation】 value is halved.

The one with higher points wins the confrontation. If 【Silencer】 wins, he is not detected. If the difference between the two points exceeds 20, obtain extra information 1. If it exceeds 40, obtain extra information 2; if 【Foreign Traveler】 wins, detect 【Silencer】."

The woman from the 【Light-Bringer Seminar】 had already thrown the dice in her hand, while the witch drew another divination card seriously.

"Points 88, First-Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi basic 【Stealth】 110 points, 【Luck】 60 points. Symbol 【Deerskin Boots】 increases stealth value by 5 points, potion 【Breath-Restraining】 20 points, use sorcery - 【Illusion of Light and Shadow】 to assist stealth, obtain 1.2-fold coefficient bonus; use relic - 【Lucky Pinecone】 effect, obtain 1.3-fold coefficient bonus; occupation - 【Assassin】, when performing occupation actions, obtain an extra bonus of 20 points."

She calculated the final points of her side:

"88×1.5+110+60+5+20+20=347."

She hesitated for a moment, feeling it was better to be conservative, so she said again:

"Activate character special talent - 【Silence】, at the cost of being unable to use 【Rhetoric】 and 【Persuasion】 in future rounds, any judgment in the current round obtains an extra bonus of 50 points. Final points 397."

After confirming the final points, she said to the woman with a blurred face:

"Lady Amethyst, even if that Miss Charlotte is also a sorcerer, do you really know her entire list of sorcery? From the performance just now, you don't seem to know much about her situation either."

The witch did not speak, but picked up the dice and shook them in her palm, then threw them out casually:

"Points 42, 【Luck】 98, 【Investigation】... hmm?"

She looked at the entry that had just appeared, looking at the value as high as "1500," and in shock, she saw the blue-black ink marks on the parchment actually jumping, and even exceeded 7 digits at the highest. Even though she had seen countless surprising things happening to "Miss Charlotte" in this short hour or so, she was still shocked at this moment:

"What does this mean?"

It was because of this moment of hesitation that the other side of the confrontation, the woman from the 【Light-Bringer Seminar】, had already placed a strange page-shaped bronze holy emblem on the table:

"Keeper, I want to sacrifice this holy emblem of the Old God 【Fairy Tale Poet】 to you, requesting to seal the 【Investigation】 ability of the character 【Foreign Traveler】 before the end of the story."

Although 【Investigation】 would be halved, the sorcerer's investigation points would definitely far exceed the luck of "98 points." With the experience just now, and seeing Lady Amethyst's trembling hands, she could guess that the other party must have seen a very exaggerated number.

But the hoarse voice replied:

"Cannot be realized."

So the woman in the black dress reduced her requirements:

"Sacrifice the holy emblem of 【Fairy Tale Poet】, seal the 【Investigation】 ability of the character 【Foreign Traveler】 before the end of all actions in this round."

So that old bronze holy emblem turned into light spots and disappeared. The woman breathed a sigh of relief and blinked at "Lady Amethyst" with a blurred face:

"The holy emblem of the Old God related to fate, wisdom, and stories can influence the rules to a certain extent. You should know this, right?"

Mr. O'Connor looked at "Lady Amethyst" hesitantly, very worried about how to win in such a targeted situation.

But the witch breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. She felt that if she read out that abnormally exaggerated "investigation" number, something very bad would happen:

"I also know the rules you mentioned. It's a good thing to consume the precious holy emblem of the Old God. You can take out the holy emblem of the Old God 【Fairy Tale Poet】, but can you take out the holy emblem of the God of Fate and the God of Wisdom, even if it is blessed by fate and wisdom... hmm?"

Because of her words, the parchment actually showed brand new content—

【Sage's Blessing: The Sage never gives power directly, the Sage only gives guidance. During the Dice Story Collection, the character's dice points will definitely not be lower than 30.】 (Note)

"This..."

The witch opened her mouth and decided not to think about things she couldn't understand:

"The deck and divination card - Empress provide an extra bonus of 5 points each. Yes, I know this is not enough. Special ability 【Mortal Luck】 cannot be used now. The current value difference of 42+98+10=150 points is far from enough."

The white fine sand in the hourglass fell slowly, and the witch fell into deep thought.

"So, it's finally my turn to act."

In the Parsifal Club, although the conversation had ended at this time, Mrs. Frey still stood in front of Xia De, with a smile on her face and not awkward at all. And although the explanation of all clues had been said, the First-Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi eavesdropping outside the door was still in a contradictory state of "not sure if he eavesdropped on extra information."

The wonderful feeling made Xia De understand the power of the "Dice Story Collection" again. He also understood the situation on the clock tower completely, and even knew clearly that during the witch's hesitation, Mr. O'Connor of the Church threw the dice for 【Detective】's second round, second round, but unfortunately the judgment still didn't pass, and the detective still couldn't have the idea of going to the church for help.

"The me in the game is not the real me, the me in reality is the powerful me."

He muttered in his heart, and then looked directly at the door:

"It's really strange, why do I feel like there's someone outside the door?"

Clatter~

In the situation where no one threw the dice, the three at the table heard the sound of dice at the same time. The sound interrupted the witch's thoughts of what special ability to guess, and then the familiar hoarse voice came:

"【Foreign Traveler】's inspiration is so powerful that even if his eyes were covered and his ears were blocked, he felt the abnormal breath outside the door. Because the gap between the 【Inspiration】 values of the two sides of the confrontation is too large, 【Foreign Traveler】 obtained an extra 50 points of confrontation advantage. At the same time, based on the special rule of character ability hiding in this story, 【Foreign Traveler】 randomly activated 1~4 special abilities."
