Chapter 46 Chapter 10 Matilda
"After becoming the 'Disaster Priest', you will continue to encounter various disasters..." Charlie King reluctantly calmed down, "What do you mean by that expression?"
"..." Alice suppressed words with earth characteristics such as "non-chief" and "nigger" in her mind, and asked a relatively gentle question, "What kind of mentality do you have when drinking this?" Potion?"
Charlie King was silent for a moment. He obviously understood what Alice wanted to ask, but he just asked politely: "Can you wait for me to finish speaking?"
So Alice politely made a "please" gesture.
Seeing Alice quiet down, Charlie King continued:
“After becoming a ‘disaster priest’, you will continue to encounter various disasters, but these disasters are foreseeable, and you can prepare in advance and find ways to eliminate or mitigate the impact.
“Through this, you can beat your opponent by pulling them into an environment where they can best exploit your strengths.
"In addition, you can use our spirituality, which is far superior to other channels, to affect the other party's mental body by creating a 'spiritual storm', causing a certain degree of dizziness or mental disorientation."
After listening to Charlie King's introduction, Alice thought hard for a moment, and then asked: "...So, what advantages do I have?"
"Aren't you the only one who knows that?" Charlie King asked.
"I mean extraordinary abilities...I thought Sequence 6 would have at least some frontal combat capabilities?" Alice's expression was full of confusion.
"Because this is a gift from fate," Charlie King looked at Alice and answered her two questions in one sentence, "No matter luck or disaster, it is a gift from fate."
Charlie King's words made Alice slightly startled, but this was not her wish. She asked without hope: "...But what if, I don't want to passively accept the gift of fate, but control my own What about fate?"
"Go for promotion." Charlie King gave a specious answer.
Alice did not respond to this sentence. She smiled and changed the subject: "Where are the other things I want?"
"This is the identification you want," Charlie King handed over the second item, "Brill Rose was originally the only daughter of a wealthy businessman. Her mother died in childbirth and her father committed suicide after going bankrupt. , she left her hometown and came to Backlund alone... I think this status is more in line with your character. "
"...You don't need to say the last sentence." Alice said as she took the ID card.
Charlie King shrugged: "After all, just one face to face can tell what kind of person you are... To be honest, you are too guessing about your thoughts and too easy to trust others."
"I will change it!" Alice emphasized without any momentum, "What else?"
Charlie King handed over a box. He opened the box under Alice's gaze. Inside was a very gorgeous and exquisite necklace. Looking at Alice's astonished expression, he said slowly:
"This necklace can change many details such as your appearance, height and body shape, and it can make your appearance become another person. Of course, this requires you to design the goal of the change in advance - note that the details must be detailed, otherwise there may be Weird consequences... My suggestion is that you'd better use real people as templates.
"Its negative effect is that it will amplify the wearer's vanity, desire to perform and desire to show off. In addition, wearing it for a long time will make you unwilling to take off the necklace. This mentality will gradually become exaggerated over time, requiring it to be removed. It takes the same amount of time to recover after taking off the necklace.
“The previous owner of this necklace wore the necklace for more than 12 hours. After the necklace was taken off, she lost control and became a monster because she could not retrieve the necklace, and was eventually killed.
"The name of this necklace is..."
"Matilda," Alice suddenly interrupted Charlie King, "from now on, she will be called Matilda." Note ①
"This should be a name, right?" Charlie King asked in surprise.
"I just want the necklace to be called this name. Is there any problem?" Alice asked doubtfully.
"No problem," Charlie King shrugged, "In that case, do you have any other questions?"
"Yes," Alice frowned and looked at him, "How should I contact you? Or how will you contact me?"
"..." Charlie King was silent for a moment and asked, "Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"
"What do you mean?" Alice suddenly had a bad feeling, "What's the lie?"
"Destiny will bring us together again." Charlie King replied in a sly style.
Alice looked at Charlie King's wizard robe and was silent for a long time, then asked: "Did He not tell you about this?"
Charlie King was silent for a moment and said hesitantly: "...You can't say that. If you want, you can recite His honorable name."
Alice paused slightly, yes, as an angel, that one should indeed have a respected name, but...
"Do I look like a fool?" Alice asked seriously - who would casually pronounce the honorific name of a guy who doesn't know good and evil?
At this moment, Alice completely ignored the fact that she directly read Mr. Fool's honorary name at the beginning.
"Even if you don't think about it, you shouldn't refuse to know, right?" Charlie King asked.
"If you want to recite His true name directly, I shouldn't be able to stop you." Alice said the obvious answer.
"Because He seems to have good intentions so far," Charlie King replied with a smile, "so I don't mind being kind to you too - and your experience sounds too suitable for the 'fate' path."
"The 'fate' path?" Alice repeated the word.
"The 'monster' path is the 'fate' path." Charlie King explained.
Alice was slightly startled, and at this moment, she once again had the feeling that everything was destined.
- Is it possible that her desire to control her destiny was also secretly arranged?
This was a question that she couldn't think about in detail. She forced herself to turn her thoughts away, took a deep breath, looked at Charlie King and said, "Tell me His honorific name... Well, don't use ancient Hermetic language or anything like that."
"You've said you're not a fool, I definitely won't do that..." Charlie King said with a smile, "Remember this - the embodiment of luck; the monster that predicts the future; the disaster that spreads disaster; the witness of all the fates of Backlund; the guardian of chaos and madness."
"He is in Backlund?" Alice found the highlight in this passage.
"In fact, I don't know either," Charlie King shook his head gently, "Don't ask for information from me - you know, I'm just a messenger."
Note ①: The design inspiration of this name and necklace comes from Maupassant's short story The Necklace, and Matilda is the name of the heroine.
