"She" makes sense, but since Xia De has put forward the idea, he naturally has his own considerations:
"As long as I try thaumaturgy when rolling dice, theoretically speaking, the probability of luck acting on thaumaturgy is very high."
He looked at the street scene and said in his heart.
[Not mentioning the probability that it will be applied to thaumaturgy as you mentioned, but what if the result of the dice is unfortunate? 】
"This is what I want to say. I have been considering this a long time ago. In principle, it is feasible."
Shade walked towards the other side of the street, pretending to talk to pedestrians, but most of his thoughts were in his heart. He came up with a rather bold idea:
"You once said that you can deflect attacks from fate and turn bad luck into good fortune."
【Yes, but no one is attacking you now.】
"No one... rolls the roll to be lucky, and nothing will happen. But if it is unlucky, this misfortune will affect me, so can you rebound it to be lucky?"
He asked cautiously, and then heard her pleasant laughter:
【Very good idea.】
That is, it is feasible.
【But outsiders, do you remember the sentences written in the script?】
She was probably in a good mood at the moment, and her tone of question was also cheerful. Shade recalled what happened a few weeks ago. The street scene in front of him was dimmed in the mist. The gray appearance and the strange smell in the air were the hallmarks of this city.
normality. He stands under the sky:
"It is written there - maybe people think they can control their destiny, but they don't know that all this is already in their destiny..."
The "Heart Collector" who tried to manipulate fate but died because of it explains this sentence very well.
The woman in my heart is still chuckling:
[You can try to throw the dice. If you are lucky, nothing will happen. If you are unlucky, I will turn it into luck and reflect the misfortune caused by the dice to the dice itself instead of you. In this way, you don’t have to worry about "heart collection".
Things about "home".]
"but."
he thought.
[However, this dice will be damaged as a result, and the damage is temporarily unpredictable. In addition, if you manipulate destiny, something unfortunate will definitely happen to you. This is the price, do you understand? Destiny has always been
Very fair.]
"I understand, and the lower the number, the more serious the damage to the dice, the more terrible my misfortune will be, and it will definitely be higher than the luck I got from manipulating fate...I understand, but fortunately I don't ask for much.
."
He touched the metal box containing the dice in his pocket, and the woman murmured softly:
【Are you sure you want to take risks for a stranger? This time, it's not for your friends.】
This sentence really touched on the hesitation in Shade's heart. He indeed had nothing to do with this matter. But looking at the single mother in the store who was still anxiously asking people around her, she also thought about the "trafficking" she saw in the newspaper.
Reporting on the "Children" series of cases, I finally thought of the generous rewards from MI6:
"You said that I am an audience on the stage, a bystander. But no one stipulates that the audience cannot forcefully 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 now that some things have happened, there is no reason to turn around and leave. Do you want to stop me?"
[Of course not, I said everything is up to you, outsider. But this does not necessarily bring bad luck. For you, under normal conditions, it is absolutely impossible to roll 20 points or 1 point.]
"Why?"
The laughter became more and more obvious:
[Do you think you are Iluna Bayas? That is the power of the protagonist on the stage, and you don’t even have a role on the stage. In my opinion, it is normal for the numbers you throw to fluctuate around 10. 】
The idea in his heart was very firm, and the expression on his face no longer hesitated. Knowing that it could not be the worst outcome, he breathed an inexplicable sigh of relief, and he convinced himself.
Amid her laughter, Shade took out the metal dice from the box and threw them into the sky with a determined expression. While the dice was spinning in the wind, he stretched out his hand and the twenty-sided dice fell steadily into his hands, as if it was being held by the metal.
Attracted by a magnet.
Shade's ears heard the clear voice of a strange woman. It was a voice from the past, and the voice had a disguised artificiality:
"Boy, do you want some candy?"
At the same time, there was the sound of candy wrappers being twisted.
The foreigner lowered his head and looked at the dice, his mouth trembled, the number was 9:
"I knew you couldn't always be lucky."
[From one to twenty, from twenty to one, the twenty-sided die of fate is slightly damaged, without affecting all characteristics. However, if a similar move is performed again, the die must be completely damaged within two times.]
"I heard the clue."
He looked towards the place where the sound came from, where the boy and the strange woman were talking. It was the street in front of the candy store. Pedestrians were now walking back and forth, but it was here that the child who was taken away dozens of minutes ago was coaxed.
【Then just wait for the bad luck that will surely come.】
"It's only nine, which is slightly below average, so the bad luck shouldn't be too much, right?"
Shade didn't get an answer, he just heard laughter.
Now that he had made his decision, Shade would no longer regret it. He kept the thaumaturgy running and then found Mrs. Maria Cook.
He simply explained that he learned from passers-by that a little boy followed a young woman away dozens of minutes ago. Mrs. Cook followed Shade as if she had grasped a life-saving straw, and
Shade listened to the direction of the voices and footsteps in his ears, and followed the direction of the sounds little by little.
Because once thaumaturgy is cancelled, it will be difficult to find a lucky time, so Shade continued to use thaumaturgy during his subsequent search.
Because of this, all the sounds he heard were sounds that were more than ten minutes away from the current time. Therefore, even if he kept pursuing the sounds in the noisy environment, he and the woman who took the child would always be in contact with each other.
Maintain the dislocation for more than ten minutes.
Shade's hope was that he could take Mrs. Cook until she found the place where she stopped to rest.
The specific area of Tobesk is definitely not inferior to that of the big cities that Schad had seen in his hometown. Although the development level of productivity is shackled by the times, Tobesk, as the pearl of the north, has seen an influx of people in just a few decades.
Forcibly, the city doubled its outward expansion.
The greatest achievement of the steam age, steam trains, connected every corner of the Old Continent. Tobesk Station was the most important transportation hub in the north of the Old Continent.
Originally, during planning, the station was located on the edge of the city, but as the city continued to expand, Tobesk Station was gradually surrounded by the city. But according to the "Tobesk Evening News", the city hall is planning to build a station in the city.
A new station will be built in the south to separate freight and passenger steam locomotive stops.
In short, regardless of the risk of using thaumaturgy for a long time, Shade took Mrs. Cook to walk around the northern part of Tobesk. Occasionally, he would pretend to inquire about information and ask passers-by. Gradually, they approached the same location in Tobesk.
Tobesk station in the northern part of the city.
It took a total of more than half an hour to get here from Queen Mary Street. When we arrived at the block near the station, we found police officers in neat uniforms patrolling nearby, and we even saw soldiers carrying guns to maintain order.
There was so much traffic in this area that Shade could hardly find the boy and woman he was looking for among the complicated sounds.
Then I remembered that today, Wednesday, is the day when Queen Diana cuts the ribbon for the newly opened east hall of Tobesk Station.
