Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Chapter 239 Losing money and avoiding disaster
Klein had some guesses about the dice that caused the embers to become restless, but he couldn't be sure. So he didn't immediately accept Darkwill's commission, but said he would consider it.

After all, the sequence of this suspected 'unique' dice is too high. According to the 'Law of Aggregation of Extraordinary Characteristics', this dice is likely to bring some dangers beyond his ability!
But he knew that someone must know the situation of this dice, and that person was the 'Mercury Snake' Will Auceptin, who was still in his mother's womb and in the fetal state!

After returning to his hotel room, Klein took out the paper crane from his wallet and unfolded it on the table. He glanced at the surface that still had traces of wiping, picked up a pencil, and wrote a simple question:

"What do we do with that dice? Is it the only way to get the 'monster'?"

Although this question was a bit direct, Klein thought about it again and again and decided to ask directly.

After all, this question was not asked for himself.

He folded the paper crane back into place and stuffed it into his wallet. Klein lay on the sofa and fell asleep quickly with the help of meditation, hoping that Will Auceptin had responded. When he woke up from his dream and saw that he was in a dark and desolate plain, he breathed a sigh of relief and followed the familiar road all the way to the depths of the black spire.

On the raised ground surrounded by tarot cards, there were already many lines of silvery white words, densely packed and numerous.

Klein stopped and quickly read through it:
"It's called the 'Dice of Probability'.

"You guessed it right. It is an item solidified by the uniqueness of the 'Wheel of Fortune' path."

"It controls the probability of everything. At 1 o'clock, the probability of being unfavorable to the target is magnified to the limit. At 2 o'clock, the unfavorable probability is greatly increased. This does not mean that 2 o'clock is necessarily safer than 1 o'clock, because once the probability becomes high, any accident may happen. 3 o'clock amplifies the unfavorable probability, and 4 to 6 o'clock are the opposite..."

"This journey won't be too dangerous, at least not in the future that I foresee. But you can still refuse this commission. It's not your responsibility, and you don't need to bear any consequences."

"Finally, thank you for your help, your sincere friend Will Auceptin."

The information provided by Will Auceptin was quite complete, and he even directly acknowledged that the 'Dice of Probability' was the only way to the 'Wheel of Fortune'.

"In other words, 'Wheel of Fortune' is Sequence 0 of the 'Monster' pathway?"

Klein seemed to have realized something. No wonder Will Auceptin was holding the Wheel of Fortune card when he first met him. But this was not surprising. After all, among the twenty-two tarot cards, only the Wheel of Fortune and the Monster paths fully matched the ability of destiny.

"Isn't he afraid that I will embezzle the 'Dice of Probability'?"

Klein complained, but he knew it was impossible.

After all, even a demigod would be killed by such a unique and solidified seal. Even if it is given enough time, it can affect the entire world, making all the actions of all living beings except gods determined by the points it rolls -

It's like the whole world has turned into a role-playing game.

Even if such an item was given to Klein, he would not be able to use it. After all, the side effects of a demigod-level magical item alone were enough to deter him, not to mention a sealed item that was second only to the true god level.

Although the 'Dice of Probability' could theoretically kill a demigod, it was more likely that he, the 'master', would be killed first.

Now that he knew the danger of this sealed object, according to his usual cautious style, the best choice should be to stay away from it, refuse Darkwill's commission, and stay as far away from this sealed object as possible.

But while this can keep you away from potential dangers, it may not be a good thing...

After all, Will Auceptin is the president of the Fate Council of the Life School, so this "Dice of Probability" is his property, and it was even specially prepared for him. If he can successfully deliver this "Dice of Probability" to the people of the Life School, he can gain the friendship of the Life School and Will Auceptin, the Sequence 1 "Mercury Snake".

But if I refuse Darkwill's commission and the 'Dice of Probability' is lost, although I have nothing to do with it, I will inevitably be hated by the School of Life and even Will Auceptin himself. Even if he said in the letter that he would not bear any responsibility, Klein did not believe a single punctuation mark.

and……

Klein touched his pocket. Perhaps because it was away from the probability dice, the remaining fire was no longer agitated, but Klein could still feel its deep desire. It was longing for the probability dice, longing to burn this item that solidified the uniqueness of the "Wheel of Fortune" path to ashes and turn it into nutrients for the First Fire.

Well, the second half was Klein’s imagination. He could only feel the desire of the ember, but he didn’t know exactly why.

Darkwill was just an ordinary Sequence 8, and had almost no combat ability. If he wanted, he could just snatch the Probability Dice from Darkwill and feed it to Ember.

But this would definitely offend the Life School and Will Auceptin. Although Will Auceptin was currently at a critical moment of reincarnation and was still waiting to be born in someone else's belly, he was a Sequence 1 angel after all, and the extraordinary abilities he possessed far exceeded Klein's.

Since the other party could contact him through dreams, thousands of kilometers away, it might be possible that he could curse him from the same distance, such as making him extremely unlucky, or even causing him to fall and kill himself. What the uniquely solidified ‘Dice of Probability’ could do, it might not be impossible for Will Auceptin, a Sequence 1 ‘Mercury Snake’, to do.

“This really presents me with a difficult problem.”

Klein rubbed his temple, feeling a severe headache.

The current situation is like putting him on the fire. He is caught in a dilemma in everything he does, and if he is not careful, he will be in a difficult situation.

After hesitating for a long time, Klein gritted his teeth and made a decision.

It's a blessing, not a curse, but it's a curse that cannot be avoided.

No matter what, let’s go above the gray fog and do some divination first!
Klein stood up decisively, turned the handle, walked into the bathroom, closed the door, and walked four steps backwards.

"Should we just run?"

In the next room, Darkwill, who was forcibly taken back to the hotel by Gehrman Sparrow and forced to rent this room out of his own pocket, asked the owl on his shoulder with some trepidation.

"better not."

The Owl grumbled:

"If he really wanted to attack you, there's no need to wait until now. Besides, do you think you can get away?"

The fat on Darkwill's face trembled. Indeed.

That was the famous bounty hunter, the crazy adventurer Gehrman Sparrow! What could a Sequence 8 beast tamer like him do in front of him? With the help of the seal in his hand, it was not impossible for him to escape successfully.

But the premise is that this "dice" always stays at "6", only in this way can he rely on incredible good luck to escape the pursuit of the crazy adventurer. But the problem is that the number of points thrown by this "dice" is completely uncontrollable, otherwise he would not have to find Gehrman Sparrow and entrust him to protect himself.

If it was a '6', he would naturally have incredible luck. Even the lameest lies could easily convince people, and even the most outrageous behavior could win the approval of others. But if he rolled a '1', Darkwill felt that it might be easier for him to commit suicide.

Darkwill's face turned pale, and he muttered to himself with some regret:

"I should have known I shouldn't have told him..."

At this moment, he finally remembered his teacher's advice. The dice was obviously a very important sealed object in the school. Now that it had been discovered by Gehrman Sparrow, it might induce his greed and make things develop in a worse direction!
After all, there were no more than a thousand rumors on the sea that adventurers would kill the mission entruster in order to obtain higher returns. Moreover, they were not in a formal entrustment relationship yet, and his current position was closer to a 'hostage' than a client...

Darkwill shuddered as he thought of something.

"he came!"

The owl on Darkwill's shoulder suddenly hooted. Darkwill was stunned, and then he heard footsteps outside the door. He was hesitating whether to open the door, and the next second he saw the middle of the door turned into a vortex, like a flowing liquid. The next second, Gehrman Sparrow passed through the wall directly.

Darkwill looked extremely nervous, and he forced a smile on his face as he tried to greet her:

"that……"

"3000 pounds."

Klein looked down at Darkwill and said calmly:

"Three days, and I have the right to abandon the mission halfway. Of course, if I choose to give up, you don't have to pay me."

"..."

The smile on Darkwill's face froze instantly.

3000 pounds? And only for three days? Even the right to abandon the mission? What a joke!
Darkwill wanted to refuse, but when he met Gehrman Sparrow's cold eyes, reality poured cold water on him. Was he qualified to refuse?

What's more, the other party did not forcefully kill people to take the treasure, but instead proposed a relatively high condition, which just proved that the other party was reliable. Otherwise, there was no need to accept his commission at all, wouldn't it be enough to just kill him and take away the dice and the money on him?
"it is good."

Darkwill hesitated and said:
"But I can only pay 20% of the deposit in advance, and I will pay the rest when I reach my destination and find the person I want to meet."

Although he was a pharmacist and pharmacists made a lot of money, he really didn't have 3000 pounds! How could money be made so easily! If possible, he didn't even want to pay the 600% deposit of pounds. It would be best if it could be paid on time - he planned to let his teacher's teacher pay the balance.

But unfortunately, Darkwill knew very well that Gehrman Sparrow would never accept such an outrageous request...

600 pounds!

Darkwill was extremely heartbroken. If he wasn't afraid that he would not be able to leave the room if he didn't pay, he really didn't want to pay.

"can."

Klein was not surprised by this answer. He nodded slightly and said calmly:
"In exchange, your organization owes me a favor. You must help me unconditionally when necessary."

"no problem!"

Darkwill nodded without hesitation. Although he did not have the right to decide the deal for the organization behind him, he was in danger because he was doing things for the organization. The organization couldn't just sit there and do nothing, right?

Klein nodded calmly:
"make a deal."

The fat pharmacist Darkwill breathed a sigh of relief and then said with a cheeky smile:

"Can I take it that protection comes into effect from now on?"

Hearing the fat pharmacist's question, Klein laughed inwardly, but appeared indifferent on the surface:
“It starts when you make your first payment.”

Darkwill first took out a large amount of cash without hesitation, then counted the money distressedly:

“It’s 600 pounds.

"You can fulfill your promise now."

Klein took the banknotes and nodded.
"no problem."

Darkwill immediately relaxed a lot, like a drowning man who finally grabbed a lifebuoy.
-
Landenheim.

The rising red sun dispelled the crimson moon that enveloped the world, and sprinkled the earth with a thick golden color. However, the rising sun failed to bring vitality to the city, but instead made the people in the city worried.

Night fades away and dawn comes.

In other times, this might have been reassuring.

But in this era when humans can only become slaves or even food for other extraordinary creatures, the night makes them feel more at ease for the humans blessed by the vampires. On the contrary, during the day, the possibility of encountering attacks from other extraordinary creatures or even dragons will greatly increase.

Although they may also encounter attacks from other supernatural creatures at night, at least the vampires' activities will be more frequent at night.

Although the vampires’ protection of humans is not unconditional, at least they know what sustainable scientific development is and will not drain everyone dry at once.

Yu Jin stared at the morning glow in the sky and suddenly asked:

"Do you want to go out and buy some clothes?"

Lilith, who was still yawning, became alert instantly, covered her chest and flatly refused:

"do not want!"

Yu Jin glanced at the girl's thin white dress and said helplessly:

"You're going to a party tomorrow. Are you sure you don't need to buy a new dress?"

Lilith pretended not to understand and asked back:

"What does tomorrow's party have to do with me? I'm not wearing it for them to see, or..."

Lilith looked at the ember with a smile and said seductively:

"You actually want to see it? It's ok~ If it's you, even if you don't wear it..."

"stop!"

Yu Jin interrupted her forcefully, rubbing his temple helplessly, "Then let it be, as long as you don't regret it."

He actually wanted Lilith to return the clothes, after all, the clothes were not his. But since she didn't want to return them, then she didn't have to return them, and let her wear them for two more days, anyway, they wouldn't get damaged.

"Regret? There is no such thing."

There was a glimmer of cunning in Lilith's eyes. No matter who this suit belonged to before, it belonged to her now!
