"Personal charm bonus is 95, two symbols add 10 points, total points are 208, passed."
Hearing Yin Luna's words "Charm 95 points", the young cultist Dion's mouth twitched, and he subconsciously touched his face and asked his companion:
"Although I have never seen Shad Hamilton in person, isn't a charm of 95 a bit too exaggerated... Professor, are you sure that your Miss Pavlo said that the success rate of this operation is higher than 80%?"
"Don't be nervous. After all, he is the guy who is rumored to be the Duchess's lover... Hamilton is only the best solution for the church, but not a sure-win solution."
Professor Ans recalled what Miss Pavlo had said after the banquet at Lakeview Manor:
"His charm is indeed worth this point."
In the darkness, Dorothy suppressed her laughter, while the people who had seen Shad nodded subconsciously.
"Charm" does not only refer to appearance, but also to conversation and temperament. Only Yin Luna could know that she only read the most basic points. In addition to charm, Xia De's speech skills are also amazing. In terms of "social reputation", Xia De also has a special identity of "MI6 agent", which can directly pass this judgment, but Yin Luna did not explain.
Although the list on Shade's parchment seemed to be the same length as the other two parchments to others, the content recorded on it was surprisingly much. Yin Luna frowned every time she checked it, in fact, it was because there were too many letters, and she couldn't recognize at least one-third of them.
If Yin Luna could participate in this story as Shade's ring wizard, she would never have imagined the possibility of Shade losing.
In short, the people trapped inside the relics went through an extremely thrilling story in just a few minutes, but what Shade experienced at this time was just walking out of the Prophet Association.
The patrolling police happened to pass by the door of the Prophet Association. The police officers glanced at Shade and then continued walking forward without even coming over to ask him questions.
"The people chasing the thief successfully entered the Silver Cross Avenue, and now they are faced with an empty street and a cold night wind. The night is so charming, but no one is enjoying it at this moment. The thief may appear at any time, and they must prepare as soon as possible. So, what should be done next?"
Hoarse voices came from all directions. The silver hourglass on the table turned over again. Professor Ans was the first to speak:
"Jogory Deus, the stalker of the night, invites Lady Charm Lydia Pengelo to conduct a joint investigation to find out the current location of Jack the Thief."
"Ms. Charming Lydia Pengelo has agreed to the invitation to conduct a joint investigation to find out the current location of Jack the Thief."
The cultist also said this, with a much more serious expression, and it was obvious that this was a key step in the plan.
The black-robed "Secret Keeper" announced:
"To investigate Jack the Thief's trail, you need to have a total of 1,000 points. If you investigate together, you can add up the points of both parties."
"What?"
The bearded captain who created the church was startled:
"Doesn't this mean that..."
"Yes, Jack, the thief who is impossible to find in reality, has a chance of being found in the 'Dice Story'. Although the possibility is small, it is still a possibility. I'm sorry, the chosen one, the game has just begun, but it has ended."
The professor picked up the dice and rolled the numbers:
"Points: 54, first-level sorcerer's basic reconnaissance bonus: 107, symbol bonus: 40, using the magic wind breath with an amplification factor of 1.5 to detect traces in the wind, gaining a reconnaissance bonus..."
He rolled the dice again:
"The detection bonus gained by thaumaturgy is 54 times 1.5, which equals 81. Using the Keeper-level relic, the Mystic Eye, gains a detection value of 200. Drinking the potion 'Inspiration Potion' gains a detection value of 66, for a total of 548."
The puppet on the table, representing the night stalker Chogori Deus, is glowing faintly, indicating that he is wielding extraordinary powers.
"I'm lucky. It's just over half of 1,000."
The professor nodded in satisfaction.
The 17-year-old girl was still frowning, a gesture she had maintained since the beginning. She was not thinking about how to win, because only she knew that if she really manipulated Shade, she would never lose the game.
The young cultist kissed the holy emblem of "Mr. Fortune" and rolled the dice:
"Points: 67, first-level sorcerer's basic reconnaissance bonus: 85, symbol bonus: 50, using 1.6 times coefficient of thaumaturgical dark perception, gaining reconnaissance bonus..."
He rolled the dice to determine the effect of the magic:
"Thaumatology gains a detection bonus of 78 times 1.6, which equals 124. Use the clerical-level relic, Detective Constantine's police handcuffs, to search for criminals who know the specific details of the case, gaining a detection value of 350. Drink the magic potion 'Inspiration Potion' to gain a detection value of 66, for a total of 742."
The professor raised his lips and looked at Yin Luna:
"Total reconnaissance points are 1290, over 1000 points."
"Georgy Deus, the stalker of the night, and Lydia Vongolo, the charming lady, obtain the location of the criminal thief Jack."
The light from the two puppets standing together instantly swept across the entire table. On the west wall of the Yodel Palace, a new puppet appeared. That was the target this time.
"Look, a relic fights against a relic, and the power of the relic triggers a miracle. If this were done in reality, it would be impossible to find Jack the Thief, because the thief couldn't even be sure whether it existed before stealing. But now, simply because the numerical value is sufficient, the judgment passed."
Professor Ans did not look smug, but rather very serious:
"The Chosen One, what are you going to do? Miss Pavlo thinks highly of you, and you shouldn't disappoint her."
Yin Luna watched the three puppets on the table moving slowly. Before receiving any command, the puppets would spontaneously produce corresponding activities. Georgy Deus and Lydia Pengelo were moving towards Jack the Thief, while Shade was pacing at the door of the Prophet's Association.
"Hamilton heads to this location."
She pointed to the location of Jack the Thief on the map.
"He had no reason to do so, as he had not detected the target."
The voice surrounding the darkness said, and the tone seemed a little cold, which made the very excited Ajelina lean towards her sister again.
"Hamilton follows Georgori Deus and Lydia Vongolo."
Yin Luna gave another instruction.
"He doesn't know the other characters in the story and has no reason to do so."
The keeper's voice once again stopped Yin Luna's instructions, and the voice became more and more uncomfortable.
Yin Luna pursed her lips and turned to discuss with Miss Green and Mr. Modro:
"It will take at least ten minutes for this round of hourglass to be exhausted. I still have time to think, so I won't give any instructions now."
The high-level warlock at the table shook his head slightly:
"If you are planning to delay your turn so that the characters controlled by me and Dion cannot make action decisions for the next turn, then you are thinking too simply. Even if you are delayed for ten minutes, we will still go directly into battle to capture Thief Jack after ten minutes. You just delayed your failure by ten minutes."
Yin Luna didn't say anything, she was still thinking about how to properly use Xia De's power. She couldn't let Xia De do reconnaissance at this moment, because the basic reconnaissance value that had to be read out loud was really terribly high. Although Yin Luna didn't know the values of other fourth-ring warlocks, the basic reconnaissance value of "5821" was obviously wrong.
Even the number "5821" was still jumping on the parchment, and at its highest it could exceed six digits. Yin Luna was completely unable to understand this phenomenon.
At this time, Xia De was still standing at the door of the Prophet Association. He had not received any order from Yin Luna, so he knew that Yin Luna had encountered difficulties.
So what would you do
"She" whispered in Shade's ear. Shade looked at the street view of Silver Cross Avenue:
"This isn't a game to me. It's the gamers who need to follow the rules, not the characters in the story like me."
He said in his heart, his eyes scanning the surroundings:
"To open the Dice Story Collection, you need three controlled characters, and they must be in the enemy camp. There is a cheating method in the game that allows you to choose special characters in addition to ordinary people, so the ring wizard who uses this angel-level relic must choose the ring wizard as the controlled object like me."
It was already past nine in the evening, and even in the center of the Steam City of Tobysk, there were almost no people on the streets. Shade looked into the distance:
"So, the strange ringmaster, who is affected by the whispering element, is the other character in the story."
Yes, pay attention to the man and woman who appear in groups ahead. The whispering elements in them are consistent with the whispering elements that affect you.
Georgy Deus and Lydia Vongolo passed by Shade just like that. They walked at a normal pace and looked quite normal, like ordinary men and women taking a walk, not knowing at all that they were being manipulated by an invisible "hand".
The patrolman seemed to not see the two people at all, and the two people seemed to not see Xia De, so Xia De watched them walk away in the wind:
"I'm not a game player. The relic's characteristics are not meant to restrict me. What I want to do is the story that is happening. My next actions are easy to explain. The weather is too cold. Since the order asked me to leave the Prophet's Association, then I can only go home. This is reasonable."
When only the backs of the two were left, he put his hands in his pockets, formally left the door of the Prophet's Association, and followed. That was also the direction leading to St. Teresa's Square. In fact, no matter which direction of Silver Cross Avenue you walk in, it is the direction leading to St. Teresa's Square.
Although Xia De often thought that Yin Luna was not mature enough, he trusted Yin Luna's judgment and wisdom very much. Sure enough, after he caught up with the two strange ring magicians from a distance, he suddenly had the urge to "wander on the Silver Cross Avenue according to his current thoughts."
This did not match his true thoughts, so this must have been an instruction given by Yin Luna.
Xia De sighed and continued walking along Silver Cross Avenue. Four minutes later, the two people walking in front suddenly stopped and disappeared into the shadows that were not illuminated by the street lights.
But even after disappearing, Shad could still sense the whispering element and knew that the two were entering a "stealth" state.
"Could it be that they really found 'Thief Jack' through the power of the dice story collection, and are they preparing to catch the thief?"
But no matter how strong Shad's perception was, he did not find the thief who stole Dorothy nearby. Yin Luna did not give Shad the next instruction, which meant that she could not let Shad get close to the location of Jack the Thief.
"In this case, I can't stop beside these two people because I have no reason to do so. I can only keep moving forward, but Jack the Thief must be nearby."
Xia De thought in his mind, and continued walking forward, passing the two people who were blatantly "sneaking" on the street.
Look forward.
"Um?"
When I looked up, I saw a familiar figure in the distance on the street.
"Dorothy?"
A blonde girl, holding a cat and a sword, and wrapped in a Shard coat because she was in a hurry to go out, ran from the southern end of Silver Cross Avenue.
The street was brightly lit, but she looked anxiously behind Shade, as if she didn't see anything. Shade understood this phenomenon. He was a character in the story influenced by the dice story collection. Without the "Secret Keeper" telling the story, no one would notice him. Even if he took off his clothes now, it wouldn't appear in the newspaper tomorrow morning.
The blonde girl in the distance, who was either Dorothy or Lecia, could not break this rule even as a ring mage, just like the priest Augustus during the "Dark Realm" incident, who was unable to realize the existence of "Luvia Annat" in the group before Shad reminded him.
The blonde girl was getting closer and closer. Just as Shad was trying to find a way to get her to notice him, the cat in his arms tilted its head and looked at Shad with bright eyes:
"Meow!"
