Chapter 2034

~9 min read 1,749 words

Whether it was the 【Light-Bringer Seminar】 or the 【Dawn Church】 sorcerers, they didn't understand what happened this time. Although many things conflicting with the basic rules had happened since the story began, this was the first time that it passed directly without any judgment.

Only the witch looked at the parchment roll in her hand, looking at the newly displayed content, she knew the reason:

【Occupation - Sage: A sage recognized by Old Gods and angels. Once per game, the first 【Intelligence】 judgment passes directly with the maximum value. For each subsequent 【Intelligence】 judgment, in the event of confrontation failure or judgment not passed, obtain 40 points of occupation advantage.】

"Sage... recognized as 【Sage】 by Old Gods, angels, and now angel-level relics."

The hoarse voice's narration continued:

"The 【Foreign Traveler】 who solved the puzzle obtained key clues from the coroner, but was asked to open them on a high roof."

"My question is, what is 1 plus 1?"

At the entrance of the police station, Mr. Ptolemy Albe asked very seriously. Xia De asked him to use a puzzle to test him, just to cater to the rules of the "Dice Story Collection," and Mr. Ptolemy Albe was indeed very "reasonable."

"I think, in the case of calculating correctly, it should be equal to 2."

Xia De thought for a while before replying.

"Very good, congratulations on passing my test. Now I give you this important information, but you can't open it now. Yes, it must be opened in a high place like a roof."

Mr. Albe solemnly returned the paper ball in his hand to him.

After Xia De thanked him, the two also bid farewell to each other. Xia De listened to the sound of dice jumping in his ears and knew that in the third round, second round, 【Detective】 was trying to persuade the priest of the church, and 【Silencer】, who used 【Stealth】 again, successfully entered the police station and also obtained the information Xia De just obtained from Mr. Albe.

The third round still had two rounds of actions left. According to the story progress, the next step should be to continue exploring the police station, or choose to leave in advance to see Freeman Hawthorne or go to the lower city to inquire about the situation to obtain the first-hand advantage in the next round.

But listening to the story description in his ears, Xia De left the entrance of the police station and entered an empty alley on the side. And at the other end of the alley, 【Silencer】, who had also left the police station, had already appeared.

"【Silencer】 attacks 【Foreign Traveler】."

When the woman from the 【Light-Bringer Seminar】 said this sentence, the witch was not surprised at all. Currently, 【Foreign Traveler】 had too much advantage. Compared to catching up in the subsequent investigation, killing him was indeed the most direct means. But the witch was not relaxed because 【Silencer】 was only a First-Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi. On the contrary, the enemy dared to take the initiative to attack knowing that 【Foreign Traveler】 was quite high-level, which showed that the enemy must have his own reliance.

"The first-hand right is here with me."

The woman in the black dress said to the witch:

"Lady Amethyst, Mr. Light-Chaser originally thought that the biggest enemy this time was the Church. I didn't expect the local diviner in Moon Bay to be well-deserved. We are very surprised that the 'character' you chose would be so powerful, but this time we won. Please cooperate with our actions later. If you are willing, I can represent Mr. Light-Chaser and invite you and that Miss Charlotte to become one of us."

The witch shook the dice in her hand:

"How do you want to cheat this time? Is it taking out the holy emblem of the Old God, or do you still have coins in your hand?"

She already had a way to win in her heart. The strength judgment bonus coefficient provided by the character special ability "Earth Power," which could be called cheating, plus the strength points of the Seven-Ring Sorceress herself, didn't need to worry even if 【Silencer】 himself had other special bonuses.

In the situation of not knowing 【Miss Charlotte's】 sorcery list and at most using basic sorcery like "Ignite," it was simpler to use "strength" judgment to defeat 【Silencer】 by surprise than to use divination to try to trigger sorcery she didn't know:

"I divined this morning, today is my lucky day."

"Lady Amethyst, excessive belief in divination results will fall into the trap of fate. The battle round begins, first-hand right, 【Silencer】 stealth! Because of the special first-hand right state, this time no judgment is required and it is directly successful."

"Oh, using illusion?"

Just under Xia De's gaze, the First-Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi at the other end of the alley summoned his fate ring, and then used illusion to sneak. The other party's illusion should have been unable to hide from Xia De's eyes, but after disappearing, no matter how Xia De perceived it, he couldn't perceive it:

"What does stealth mean... want to get close?"

"Want to get close?"

On the top of the clock tower, the witch also made a similar judgment, first happy in her heart, then surprised. Because what she wanted to do was also close-quarters fighting with the other party, but the other party must have a reason for doing so:

"【Foreign Traveler】 does not perform sorcery this round, concentrates on waiting for the other party to make a move. Abandon this round's action, in the next round 【Silencer】 no longer has the first-hand right, 【Foreign Traveler】 can attack at the same time as 【Silencer】."

The reason why 【Investigation】 was not performed to find 【Silencer】 was because no action was taken this round, and the other party's first-hand advantage could be offset in the next round, and the battle round required multiple actions, so there would be no disadvantage due to the other party's first-hand advantage every time. And the attack advantage brought by 【Stealth】 was limited to this action.

"【Detective】 performs persuasion again."

Mr. O'Connor announced again, then threw the dice very sloppily, and after confirming that it still didn't pass, he looked at the two ladies at the table with great interest with his companions behind him.

Their "duel" this time would determine the direction of this story. Although the investigation progress was only halfway through, winning "Lady Amethyst" meant that she could safely conduct investigations next. And the victory of the 【Light-Bringer Seminar】 meant that 【Detective】 also had to worry about such a frontal battle.

"The 【Silencer】 and 【Foreign Traveler】 who met on a narrow road noticed each other at the same time. 【Silencer】 recognized the traveler who had investigated at the Parsifal Club, and the traveler also realized that the sorcerer in front of him was the eavesdropper just now. Successful stealth made 【Silencer】 disappear from 【Foreign Traveler】's sight. The murderous wind of the summer afternoon blew through the alley, and the quiet air with murderous intent seemed to freeze everything. Second action of the battle round—"

Although this action was equivalent to 【Silencer】 and Xia De attacking at the same time, the woman in the black dress still spoke the action content first:

"The distance is close enough, entered the range. Lady Amethyst, the biggest mistake you made was letting 【Silencer】 get close to your girl. 【Silencer】 uses sorcery - Light Spell!"

"What?"

"Adele's Time Stop!"

The witch on the top of the clock tower naturally couldn't know the decision Xia De made in the alley far away. After all, she didn't see the sorcery name when he used 【Praise the Sun】. The witch was surprised by the "weak" sorcery chosen by the woman in the black dress, and even more surprised by the extra supplement made by the hoarse voice to this battle round:

"Perform 【Light Spell】 confrontation judgment. Resistance to 'Abnormal Power - Light' reaching 1000 can be immune to this attack; otherwise, perform luck judgment. If successful, suffer heavy injuries; if failed, die immediately."

"Wait, what kind of light spell is this?"

"Judgment paused! The bell rings, the gears stop! 【Foreign Traveler】 obtained an extra action round. This round's action is the exclusive action round for 【Foreign Traveler】, 【Silencer】 cannot perform any resistance."

"What?"

The woman in the black dress became surprised instead:

"Why is there an extra action round...? Time stop!? No, that Miss Charlotte, is she Twelve-Ring or Thirteen-Ring?"

The calm woman finally stood up from her chair after more than two hours of the game. And the witch, who was equally surprised, quickly gave the final instruction:

"Extra action round, 【Foreigner】 uses the punch of strength judgment."

"Then, goodbye!"

In the alley, Xia De, who dodged the faint light that had just appeared at the fingertips of the stranger who was stopped, was just curious about why the other party needed such high resistance to be immune to 【Light Spell】, while already bypassing to the other party's back.

Not attacking after lifting the time stop sorcery, but reaching out and punching the back of the man who hadn't said any words from the beginning. The fist didn't pierce through the chest. While the sound of the witch throwing dice clattered in his ears, 【Silencer】's heart and other internal organs had already been shattered inside his body.

As the corpse fell, the faint light that appeared in 【Silencer】's hand also disappeared. Xia De checked the corpse suspiciously, and on the top of the clock tower, with the declaration of "【Silencer】's physical confrontation judgment failed, character death," the woman in the black dress groaned while clutching her chest, and then fell onto the table with blood flowing from seven orifices.

The man behind her wanted to help her. Although he didn't know what was going on, the witch who indeed won smiled calmly and said:

"Extra battle action times ended, time flows again. In the third round of the third round, because of the enemy's death, while 【Silencer】 used the light spell, I chose to let 【Foreign Traveler】 jump to the high roof to read the note just obtained from the coroner."

Because it just entered the battle, the clue hadn't been read yet. And "jumping to the high roof," although the time consumed was different from the sorcery used instantly, because they belonged to the same action, the witch who smiled happily and had more ideas about other people's followers quickly received feedback on the information.
