What “she” said made sense, but since Xia De had proposed the idea, he naturally had his own considerations:
"As long as I try thaumaturgy when rolling the dice, theoretically, the probability of luck working on the thaumaturgy is high."
He said in his heart while looking at the street scene.
Not to mention the probability of applying to thaumaturgy that you mentioned, but what if the result of the dice is unlucky
"That's what I'm saying. I've been thinking about this for a long time. In principle, it's feasible."
Xia De walked across the street, pretending to talk to passers-by, but most of his thoughts were focused on his inner thoughts. He came up with a rather bold idea:
"You once said that you could bounce back attacks from fate and turn bad luck into good fortune."
Yes, but no one is attacking you now.
"No one... ... If the dice roll out lucky, then nothing will happen. But if it is unlucky, this misfortune will affect me, so can you bounce it back into luck?"
He asked cautiously, and then heard her sweet laughter:
Very good idea.
That is feasible.
But stranger, do you remember the sentences written in the script
She was probably in a good mood at the moment, and her tone of voice was also cheerful. Shade recalled what happened a few weeks ago. The street scene in front of him was dim in the mist. The gray appearance and the strange smell in the air were the norm in this city. He stood under the sky:
"It says there - maybe people think they can control their fate, but they don't know that everything is already in their fate..."
The "heart collector" who tried to manipulate fate but died because of it is a good example of this sentence.
The woman in my heart is still laughing:
You can try to roll the dice. If you are lucky, nothing will happen. If you are unlucky, I will turn it into luck and bounce the misfortune generated by the dice back to the dice itself instead of you. In this way, you don't have to worry about what happened to the "Heart Collector".
"but."
He thought.
However, the dice will be damaged, and the extent of the damage is currently unpredictable. In addition, if you manipulate fate, unfortunate things will definitely happen to you. This is the price, do you understand? Fate is always fair.
"I understand. The lower the number, the more serious the damage to the dice, and the more terrible my misfortune will be. It will definitely be greater than the luck I get from manipulating fate... I understand. Fortunately, I don't ask for much."
He reached for the metal box of dice in his pocket, and the woman murmured softly:
Are you sure you want to take the risk for a stranger? This time, it's not for your friend.
This sentence really touched upon Shad's hesitation. He really had nothing to do with the incident. But he looked at the single mother in the store who was still anxiously asking questions of the people around her. He then thought of the reports of the "child trafficking" series of cases in the newspaper, and finally thought of the generous reward from MI6:
"You said I was a spectator of the stage, a bystander. But no one has stipulated that the audience cannot forcibly change the ending they don't like. I am sure of what I want to do, and I have always been sure. Some things can be ignored, but some things have encountered, and there is no reason to turn around and leave. Do you want to stop me?"
Of course not, I said it's up to you, stranger. But it doesn't have to bring bad luck, for you, under normal circumstances, it is absolutely impossible to roll 20 points or 1 point.
"Why?"
The laughter became more obvious:
Do you think you are Iluna Beas? That is the power of the protagonist on stage, and you don't even have a role on stage. In my opinion, the number you cast fluctuates around 10.
His mind was firm and his expression was no longer hesitant. He knew that this could not be the worst possible outcome, and he felt inexplicably relieved. He had convinced himself.
Amid her laughter, Xia De took out the metal dice from the box with a resolute expression and threw it into the air. As the dice spun in the wind, he stretched out his hand and spread it flat. The twenty-sided dice fell steadily into his hand, as if the metal was attracted by a magnet.
Xia De heard the clear voice of a strange woman. It was a voice from the past, and it had a fake and artificial sound:
"Want some candy, boy?"
At the same time, there was the sound of candy wrapper being twisted.
The stranger looked down at the dice, his mouth twitching. The number was 9:
"I knew I couldn't always be lucky."
From one to twenty, from twenty to one, the twenty-sided dice of fate are slightly damaged, which does not affect all characteristics. But if a similar move is made again, the dice will be completely damaged within two times.
"I heard a clue."
He looked towards the place where the voice came from. The boy and the strange woman were talking. It was the street in front of the candy store. Pedestrians were coming and going now, but a few minutes ago, the child who was taken away was deceived here.
Then just wait for the misfortune that is bound to come.
"It's only nine points, which is slightly below average, so the bad luck shouldn't be too bad, right?"
Shade didn't get an answer, just laughter.
Now that he had made the decision, Shad would not regret it. He kept the magic going and found Mrs. Maria Cook.
She simply explained that she had learned from passers-by that a little boy had left with a young woman a few minutes ago. Mrs. Cook followed Shad forward as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw, while Shad listened to the direction of the voices and footsteps in his ears, and followed the direction of the sound little by little.
Because once the magic is canceled, it will be difficult to find a lucky time again, so Shad continued to use the magic during his subsequent search.
Because of this, all the sounds he heard were more than ten minutes away from the current time point. So even if he kept chasing the sound in the noisy environment, he would always be more than ten minutes away from the woman who took the child away.
Shad hoped that he could lead Mrs. Cook to the place where she stopped to rest.
The specific area of Tobisk is definitely not inferior to the big cities that Shad has seen in his hometown. Although the level of development of productivity is constrained by the times, Tobisk, as the pearl of the north, has doubled its expansion due to the influx of population in just a few decades.
The greatest achievement of the Steam Age - the steam train, connects every corner of the Old World. And Tobesk Station is the most important transportation hub in the north of the Old World.
The station was originally planned to be located on the edge of the city, but as the city continued to expand, Tobysk Station was gradually surrounded by the city. But according to the Tobysk Evening News, the city hall is planning to build a new station in the south of the city to separate the steam locomotive stops for freight and passenger transport.
In short, regardless of the risk of using magic for a long time, Shad took Mrs. Cook to walk around the northern part of Tobisk, occasionally pretending to ask passers-by for information, and gradually they approached Tobisk Station, which was also located in the northern part of Tobisk.
It took more than half an hour to get here from Queen Mary Street. When we arrived at the neighborhood near the station, we found police officers in neat uniforms patrolling nearby, and even soldiers with guns maintaining order.
There were so many people around here that Shade could hardly find the boy and woman he was looking for among the complex noises.
Then I remembered that today, Wednesday, is the day when Queen Diana cut the ribbon for the newly opened east hall of Tobesk Station.
