Chapter 3783 The Lucky Bullet and the Assassinated Queen
"The serpent passed through thirteen rings. I saw the guardian of the seal left by the ancient gods on the island of Fatumumst, and it said something similar. The serpent is seeking transformation, and once it succeeds, it will transform into the doomsday fate of the Sixth Age."
Mr. Davis, the scene in your dream appears to be a ritual prepared by the snake for itself.
So Mr. Davis asked:
"If the snake can do this, why can't you? Thirteen against thirteen, fate against fate."
Shad and Iluna had consulted Ms. White about whether a person could resonate with more than three fates, but the answer they received was not optimistic.
If Mr. Snake has a way to possess thirteen destinies, the only countermeasure Shad can think of right now is the "Nine Rings of Mia." Even when Miss God gave him the "Ring of Ritual," Shad was thinking of connecting Mia's rings and clasps.
But it's obvious that the cat hasn't collected all thirteen rings yet, and Shad can't get thirteen Rings of Fate either.
"Mr. Davis, the final battle of destiny is about to begin. Is there anything else you want to say to me?"
The persistent stranger asked again, and the hermit turned to look at him:
What are you most worried about right now?
I originally wanted to say that I was most worried about the snake, but the words changed when they reached my lips:
“I knew I was going to crash on Fatummst Island, and I was worried about the truth I would find out after the crash.”
"What truth? The past, the present, or the future?"
"It's probably in the past."
Mr. Davis smiled. Even the most powerful person in the material world has his own troubles.
He gathered some firewood from the surrounding area and threw it into the campfire:
"You've even faced the gods, so why are you still worried about the past?"
Seeing that Xia De did not give an answer, he then said:
"For a tree to grow, it not only needs sunlight from its leaves, but more importantly, its roots need to draw water and nutrients from the earth. Similarly, a person's roots are their past. If we want to go further and see more, it is impossible to do so without knowing our past."
"But the truth may be different from what I think."
"The past cannot be changed, Mr. Watson, this is something you spent the entire autumn of last year proving. Since the past cannot be changed, since it has become an immutable fact, what are you worried about?"
Shad nodded, and the hermit elder continued:
"You carry the power of luck, don't you?"
Xia De then took out the [Lucky] arc, which he had brought with him before coming.
"Give me one more item that you already have, anything is fine."
He added that Shad reached into his pocket and finally pulled out an ordinary bullet.
So Mr. Davis took the curved bullet and left temporarily, entering the temple beneath the tree. Ten minutes later he returned, handing a golden bullet to Shad:
"This is the last bit of help we can offer."
The curve had vanished; the fate of "luck" had been bestowed upon this bullet, just as a snake had bestowed "destruction" upon a black bullet. This was a technology neither the witches nor the Prophet's Association possessed. Shad looked at Mr. Davis in surprise, but the latter shook his head.
"This is all we can do for you."
These ancient cults always manage to surprise Shad, but Shad really couldn't figure out what kind of power [Luck] could have after being given bullets.
He now possessed not only the "Lucky" bullet, but also a chess piece supposedly crafted by the god of fortune. Shad wondered if this meant he was going to use the bullet to attack the "God of Misfortune," but the problem was that even the power of fate meant nothing to a god.
So, are you ready to expend a drop of divinity this time?
As Shad was making "star dewdrops" in the woods under the moonlight, "she" asked, and Shad nodded:
"Yes, not only to welcome the inevitable arrival of the God of Misfortune, but also to condense destiny. Although I have not tried it, I am sure that after burning my divinity and transforming into a god, I will be able to condense destiny at will."
He hadn't done this before when burning divinity because outsiders didn't know about the Ring of Fate, but now that he knew about it, he was able to create it too.
The last batch of star dewdrops was prepared by Shad for himself. When Shad returned to Fatummister Island from the woodland with bullets and dewdrops and came to Sylvia's tower to enter the portal room, he found that Sylvia was actually waiting for him there.
"Sylvia, what are you doing here? What happened?"
Shad had even considered the possibility that his ordinary identity would be discovered by the Prophet's Association, but Sylvia's answer was even more unacceptable. The young great witch said softly:
"News has just come from Tobeske: Queen Diana was assassinated while attending a banquet outside Yodl Palace. She drank poisoned wine and, although she was discovered in time, remains unconscious."
Galina has rushed back to check on the situation. Twenty minutes ago, news came that the poisoner committed suicide during the pursuit, but the evidence found later showed that he was an agent of the Grey Gloves.
Tobesk is under martial law. The church has found no clues related to the supernatural in this incident, and does not even believe it is connected to Mr. Snake. This is completely different from the assassination on Monday, because existing evidence and the divination by the Prophets' Association indicate that…
Sylvia hesitated for a moment, looking into Shad's eyes:
"Tonight's assassination attempt was carried out by someone inside the Grey Gloves. After seeing that Larousse III was almost assassinated, the fanatical war sympathizers found a suitable candidate within the Grey Gloves and carried out this operation on short notice. This incident is essentially a consequence of the Larousse III assassination attempt."
The plan's success was quite coincidental. Following the assassination of the Northern King, protection for the royal family had been significantly strengthened. According to the information sent back by Galina, even a single misstep by the assassins tonight would have prevented them from poisoning the Queen. The assassin who committed suicide was incredibly lucky.
"Has there been no response from Kasenrik?"
"The incident happened recently, and Werendale probably hasn't received the news yet."
"How is the Queen?"
"Jalina said that there is no immediate danger to her life, but without the treatment of a ring sorcerer, she will likely suffer serious long-term effects with the current medical methods available to ordinary people."
However, the Church and the royal family have an agreement that the Church will not provide treatment for assassinations that do not involve mysticism. Otherwise, the royal family would be protected by the Church, which would mean it would never decline, and the emergence of an eternal dynasty is something the Church does not want to see.
For this reason, although Galina could easily heal Queen Diana from her serious injuries, she could not intervene.
Furthermore, even if supernatural powers can be used for healing, the power used during healing must be gentle and as unrelated to elements as possible.
A nobleman sought out a ring sorcerer to treat his seriously ill daughter, but after recovering, the daughter encountered her belongings and died as a result. Blackrock Security, where Iluna works, has handled many similar cases.
Therefore, the best treatment plan for Queen Diana at present is to prepare a potion that falls somewhere between common herbs and magical potions, and have her take it for a long period of time to recuperate and allow her to slowly recover. The Church is usually more lenient in its management of this kind of behavior, and the probability of it causing trouble is also very small.
However, if this method were actually used, Queen Diana would likely have to endure the aftereffects of poisoning for a very long time.
After Shad and Sylvia returned to the Radiant Messenger, Dorothy immediately burst into tears and threw herself into his arms. Shad gently patted her back. Lacey and Queen Diana had always had a good relationship.
"Once the story of fate is over, let's ask Luvia to do a divination to see if there's a way to make your mother heal immediately without getting involved with the supernatural."
With her eyes red from crying, Lacia looked up at him:
"really?"
"real."
"Is it possible to use the power of the Ring of Resurrection on Mother? Just like you 'resurrected' Father?"
"That probably won't work. Simply using the ring for resurrection doesn't involve any specific elements. But when it only functions as 'restoration,' the effect is actually the restoration of both physical strength and spirit, which is similar to the nature of using a healing spell."
Shad said with difficulty, but he knew another way: to kill Queen Diana and then resurrect her the next second. This was the best treatment at present, and it wouldn't leave any aftereffects, but Lacey would absolutely not agree to this method.
"Could we make a wish using the Miracle Ring we exchanged after the final battle?"
She asked again, her eyes brimming with tears, and Xia De shook his head once more:
"No, that was prepared for you. I did have a very good relationship with Queen Diana, and I know how you feel, but no means no."
"Dorothy and I can also exchange our points for the Ring of Miracles."
She suggested it again.
Shad continued to shake his head:
"In the plan, once the final battle begins, everyone except Stella and I who has dice will have to roll them to increase their own luck. Lacey and Dorothy, make sure your dice are high enough to guarantee your luck tomorrow night. I promise I will find a way to cure your mother, so don't save your dice for this."
"I believe you, Shad. I'm sorry to be putting you under so much pressure at a time like this."
She kissed Shad with her tear-stained lips, then wiped away her tears and went to comfort Adelina, who was huddled in the corner.
Shad touched the corner of his lips and looked at Luvia. The purple-eyed girl gestured for him to leave Dorothy's room and talk in the hallway. Luvia was very calm at this moment.
"Go to the Yordle Palace tonight and spend the night with Lacia. Don't let this affect Lacia's mood; the power of the chosen one in the space tomorrow night is crucial to the plan."
And the outsider once again proved that he was superior to Luvia:
"No, I can go to Yodel Palace to visit Lacey in a little while, but I can't say that I'll stay with Lacey tonight."
Lacey will definitely be staying by Queen Diana's side all night; she won't be in the mood for anything else, let alone rest with me. If I tell her I'm staying to spend the night with her, she might think I'm treating her like the kind of girl who, even after her mother nearly died, is still preoccupied with other things.
I'll go stay with Lacey in a bit and keep her company until she tells me to leave. Lacey isn't the type to show weakness; showing my concern is enough for me.
