Oravi was located northeast of the Rorsted Archipelago. The straight-line distance wasn't far, but the safe sea route had many twists and turns, increasing the distance by a few hundred nautical miles.
It was originally a primitive island with many Beyonder creatures. It wasn't inhabited by humans, and after the hunting era ended, the Rouen Kingdom used it as a place of exile for certain criminals. It allowed Oravi Island to gradually have villages and towns.
When the islands further east were discovered and colonized, the convenience of the sea route and the rich natural resources attracted many new immigrants, allowing it to become a relatively bustling port city.
The lighthouse's light was very obvious and warm in the dark environment. It guided the liner into the harbor and docked at the dock.
"I'm finally here. Thank you for the blessings of the crimson moon and fate." Darkwill jumped down the last gangway and stepped onto the solid concrete ground.
To be serious, apart from fate, you should mainly thank The Fool and Sea God for their blessings … Klein held the leather suitcase in one hand as he tapped the cane in his hand.
Darkwill put away the ring box that contained the Die of Probability and didn't waste any time asking where Carnot lived. He hired a rental carriage and headed straight for St. Draco Cathedral, entering the magnificent bell tower that boldly used red, blue, and yellow colors.
Inside the bell tower, Carnot had a tiny room that belonged to him.
Knock! Knock! Knock! Darkwill knocked on the door thrice, eager to hand over the item in his hand.
With a creak, the brown wooden door opened, and a tall but slightly hunched man walked out of the room.
He looked to be in his forties, and there was nothing wrong with his facial features alone. But when put together, it was filled with incongruity.
Klein only needed a glance to discover that his eyes were of different heights and heights. His nostrils were of different sizes, and the muscles on his left side were slightly loose, causing the corners of his mouth to droop. As for his right side, it was the opposite.
Carnot's legs were clearly of different lengths. One of his arms was thick while the other was thin. His entire body was asymmetrical and extremely ugly.
"You are?" The black-robed Carnot glanced at the duo.
"Are you Carnot the Bellringer?" Darkwill asked cautiously.
The corners of Carnot's mouth were high while the corners of his mouth were low.
"There shouldn't be a second person as ugly as me."
"Indeed." Darkwill nodded very honestly before chuckling. "I can tell that you have a good attitude. In fact, looks aren't important to men. What's important is their ability in that area."
"Tsk, you've never seen ladies who are really obsessed with looks …" Klein, who had experienced the era of popular celebrities, snorted.
Kanuo's expression darkened.
"I don't want to discuss this."
"You have problems in that area too? It's fine. I have all sorts of medicine. There's definitely one that can treat your problem … "Before Darkwill could finish his sentence, Klein, who was afraid that he would be beaten to death, took a step forward and blocked half his body.
Klein said in a low voice,
"He's Roy King's student."
"I've already guessed it. Roy King described his characteristics." Kano stepped aside and invited the two of them in.
His room was very small, with only a bed and a cupboard that could be used as a table. The bathroom was at the bottom of the bell tower.
Darkwill took out a ring box and handed it to Carnot as he forced a smile.
He smiled and said to Darkwill, "My teacher wants me to pass this to you."
Carnot opened it and took a look. Seeing that the die had 4 points facing up, he heaved a sigh of relief and said to Darkwill, "You aren't as unreliable as your teacher described.
"You are not as unreliable as your teacher said. I can see that you have not tried to use it. This will awaken it and let it know that it is no longer sealed."
"…" The chubby Apothecary's face blushed as he said honestly, "It's just rather quiet now. In another one to two hours, it will automatically spin again. It's best you think of a way to seal it again."
Carnot's face twitched.
"Again?"
"Th-this … I accidentally dropped it to the ground, and then it … it came alive bit by bit …" Darkwill instinctively wanted to glance at the owl, Harry, but he realized that it hadn't followed him in. It was standing guard outside the bell tower.
Carnot's eyes clearly widened as his hunched body nearly straightened.
"How did you arrive here?"
From his point of view, Roy King's student should've long been killed by the die.
Darkwill hurriedly pointed at the German Sparrow and said, "It's all thanks to this gentleman.
"It's all thanks to this gentleman. He's a powerful adventurer, and he provided the most effective protection and temporary method to seal the die."
"What method?" Carnot blurted out a question.
Klein smiled.
"A trade secret."
Carnot's expression changed a few times as he pressed his hand to his chest and bowed.
"I thank you for your help on behalf of our organization."
Darkwill took the opportunity to say, "His employment price is 1,000 pounds and a request.
His request is for us to help him find a mystical item with powerful offensive properties that doesn't have serious negative effects. He will purchase it at a reasonable price.
"Uh, I only have slightly more than 300 pounds, so that's all I paid in advance. The rest will be up to you …"
Carnot listened in silence as the corners of his mouth twitched.
"I only have slightly more than 100 pounds …"
Suddenly, no one in the bellringer's room spoke a word. The wind outside blew in through the cracks, brushing past the trio's faces.
Finally, Carnot spoke again.
"Perhaps Councilor Ricciardo has it. I'll bring you to meet him."
From the looks of it, he trusts us a lot. After all, a Fate Councilor can't be compared to the Die of Probability. If we really have a problem, we wouldn't have brought the die here to prevent any accidents from happening and the Uniqueness from being snatched back … Klein watched as Carnot picked up a lantern from the corner of the room.
At this moment, he secretly activated his Spirit Vision and did a simple examination of Carnot.
Upon doing so, Klein nearly pricked up his brows. This was because Carnot's aura's color was rather unique.
There was nothing wrong with the color of his emotions. It was very normal, but the Ether Body that represented his body didn't appear natural. The green of his heart, the purple of his head, and the yellow of his digestive system seemed to be pieced together in a disharmonious manner.
Similarly, Carnot's psyche gave off a similar feeling.
An internal stitched freak? Klein made a rough judgment based on what he had seen and heard.
After Carnot finished setting up the lantern, he turned to look at the adventurer, German Sparrow.
He said without any expression, "I'm very sensitive to Spirit Vision.
"I believe you have also discovered some problems. I'm not a naturally born person. I'm a product of the Church of Earth Mother's human body refinement. It's a relatively failed product, so I don't have the ability in that aspect."
His final words were directed at Darkwill.
Carnot didn't say another word. With the lantern in hand, he donned a black robe and hunched his tall body. With the help of the dim yellow light, he walked down the dark and silent bell tower.
A product of the Church of Earth Mother's human body refinement? But Saint Draco Cathedral belongs to the Church of the Storm … Due to its relative failure and lack of importance, Carnot betrayed the Church of Earth Mother and became a member of the Life School of Thought? This is understandable. The Church of Earth Mother and the Life School of Thought both wield the Apothecary pathway, so they definitely have some interactions … But why would the Life School of Thought send this fellow who doesn't look simple to the Church of the Storm to be a bell-ringer? Is it a normal disguise, or is there some connection between the two? Klein calmly followed behind Carnot as he walked out of the bell tower and circled to a nearby stone bridge.
Just as he approached the leftmost bridge, Klein suddenly sensed something as he looked up diagonally.
The owl, Harry, flew over and landed on a branch.
Kacha!
The branch suddenly snapped as Harry plummeted straight down. It took him great effort to fly up again without crashing to the ground.
Darkwill was just about to say a word when Carnot explained in a deep voice, "Councilor Ricciardo is injured.
His strength is somewhat out of control. As long as one enters a certain range of him, they will be tainted with bad luck. "
Kanuo stopped moving and threw the ring box containing the dice into the hole under the bridge.
"Mr. Councilor, Roy King's student has sent the die over."
"Very good." A hoarse voice sounded from deep within the dark bridge.
A palm with some silver-white scales reached out from the pitch-black darkness and pressed down on the ring box that had fallen to the ground.
Following that, he opened the ring box and took out the milky-white die.
His other hand, which also had silver-white scales, reached out as he held a paper-like item made of leather.
The item resembled a water pipe, but it was connected from end to end. Under the crimson moonlight, it appeared grayish-white in color. There were many complicated symbols and labels on its surface, as well as many ancient Hermes words that pointed to Snake of Mercury, Will Auceptin.
Fate Councilor Ricciardo pulled open the item and stuffed the Die of Probability inside. Then, he connected it from end to end.
Using a small repetition of fate to seal the Die of Probability, causing it to constantly be in a dormant or silent state? Indeed, Snake of Mercury, Will Auceptin, foresaw such a thing and made certain preparations … Klein retracted his gaze in relief as he heard Ricciardo say in a hoarse voice,
"I'm already aware of your agreement, Mr. German Sparrow.
"I'll help you search for the mystical item once I recover.
"Then 700 pounds … I'll immediately give you additional luck. You can go to the few casinos in Oravi to play, and you'll be able to receive the corresponding remuneration. Remember, don't win more than 200 pounds in each casino, and the total won't exceed 700 pounds."
In other words, you don't have money either … Seeing how you were hiding after being injured, it's normal that you didn't bring any money … Klein nodded indiscernibly.
"Alright."
After waiting for more than ten seconds without feeling anything, Fate Councilor Ricciardo heaved a sigh of relief.
"You've become lucky enough."
Really? Klein chose to believe him and didn't disturb Darkwill from reporting his teacher's imprisonment to his elders. According to Carnot's introduction, he found a nearby casino and sat at a blackjack table.
Ten minutes later, he walked out of the casino with a confused and sluggish expression.
Not only did he not win any money, but he also lost 30 pounds!
What happened to luck? Why should I believe him? That old man is very evil … Klein did not hesitate to return to the stone bridge and approach the bridge.
"So fast? You sure have good luck, "Ricciardo said with a chuckle while coughing in the dark bridge.
At this moment, Darkwill and the owl, Harry, had already found a nearby hotel to stay in.
Klein replied in a deadpan manner, "I lost."
"I lost …"
"I lost …" Ricciardo ruminated over the word, unable to form a sentence for a long time.
In the dark and silent environment, an ordinary owl flew over uneasily.
