Mystery: Starting with the Night Pope.

Chapter 274 Triss's Trail

"Back then, when the Elf King died, you were reincarnated in this way?" Truman looked at the baby, recalling the "mercury serpent" from a long, long time ago.

That was the follower god of the Second Age Elf King, the "God of Fortune".

He had a fateful contest with this "god of fortune," and he won that time, even perfecting the "cause and effect."

On the day the Elf King fell, when Truman ascended to the top of the Elf Palace, the "God of Luck" had already avoided him, and did not appear for the next few thousand years.

Back then, Truman was still an angel, a "mercury serpent" who desperately hid herself, and he couldn't find her.

Even after that, Truman almost never heard of such a "mercury snake".

But now, Truman's gaze fell on the baby's face.

"You were reborn as a human, and then reacquired your own traits through trial and error?"

It's not like Lilith going through the sequence again, but rather it delays the arrival of fate to some extent.

After reincarnation, Will possessed a series of destinies located in various sequences, which in turn formed a single final destiny pointing to the "Mercury Serpent".

Such a skillful maneuver is prone to problems, but at that time Will was probably frightened by Truman and also wary of the power of the ancient sun god, fearing being purged, so he had no choice but to take the risk.

But it also successfully navigated the various stages of its destiny.

Such a fate cannot grant them the same strength to resist madness as Lilith's, but they can still maintain their sense of self.

Moreover, during this period, Will successfully deceived Urouge, the most powerful figure in the Third Age, and even obtained the "Dice of Probability".

In comparison, Ouro, who was granted two Sequence One traits by the Creator of the Tertiary Era, really seemed foolish.

As Truman's curiosity about Will grew, various historical information gradually began to flood his senses and be captured by him.

Will, on the other hand, sensed that his fate had been touched, but being apathetic, he could only lie in the stroller and do nothing.

"That was a wonderful experience," Truman nodded slightly in approval.

The two weren't exactly enemies, but there were a few times when Truman wanted to meet this "mercury serpent," but He managed to avoid it with a stroke of luck.

"No, no, I almost got eaten by that stupid snake several times." Will was just stating a fact, but he still gave off the feeling of a promising "hunter".

Ouroboros is in good shape now, largely thanks to Truman.

"Uh..." Truman shook his head and chuckled, then got down to business, "You saw it too."

Truman made a pointed remark, and Will suppressed his emotions, nodding slightly in response.

"He really is..." Will couldn't help but ask again as he looked at Truman.

"What you see is what you get." Truman nodded slightly.

Isn't it reasonable for the "Serpent of Destiny" to see the "Beacon of Destiny"?

"You can decide how to do it yourself, but don't go overboard," Truman advised.

He was not prepared to intervene in the war between Ouroboros and Will, and no one else was capable of doing so directly.

The "Wheel of Fortune" path is so special that the luck is so great that even the gaze of the true gods can slip past them.

"..." Will fell silent and nodded slightly.

However, Truman probably understood the thoughts of this "mercury snake".

The pressure from Ouroboros was too great; He needed allies.

……

Hugh Deercha once again encountered the mysterious man wearing a golden mask in that familiar alley.

"I have a request here." The mysterious masked man handed over a wanted poster. "Find the person on this poster. If you have any information, come find me here."

Hugh spread out the wanted poster, her eyes narrowing involuntarily, but her experience was enough to make her casually remark, "Who is this? She's quite pretty."

"Triss, a wanted criminal from a witch cult." The man in the golden mask gave only a few words before leaving. It was clear that he was also very busy, needing to contact various investigators like Hugh.

"It's Triss again..." Hugh's expression remained unchanged as he calmly left and returned home, where he met Fors.

"Where did you get that request from last time?" Hugh pressed his roommate.

"What?" Fors was still a little confused when she was pulled up from the sofa, and then she saw the wanted poster in Hugh's hand.

"Triss?"

"This is the wanted poster I got from that mysterious person. This Triss is being targeted by at least two or even more forces, who have spent a lot of gold pounds to put a bounty on her." Hugh's expression was very serious.

These kinds of things are rare, and every time they happen, it's a major event.

After all, someone who can offend several major powers at the same time must be quite remarkable.

"I don't know either. I just saw it at that party and wrote it down for you." Fors lay back down, as if this matter had little to do with her.

"I actually already have a lead," Hugh suddenly said.

"What?" Fors sat up abruptly, looking at her roommate in astonishment.

"It's that neighborhood you mentioned. About a few days ago, someone saw a woman with such unique charm entering and leaving the Moon Hotel."

"Now that I think about it, she was probably what they call a witch," Hugh guessed.

"Very likely!" Fors nodded repeatedly. The information provided by Mr. "World" mentioned the charm of that witch.

"Shall we go collect the bounty?" Fors asked, as it was time for her to pray to Mr. Fool.

"That's fine, but remember not to reveal your identity. Someone wanted by so many forces is not someone we can afford to mess with!"

"Okay!" Fors blinked and pretended to go to the washroom, but actually finished praying there.

"...Please tell Mr. 'World' that someone recently saw Triss at the Moon Hotel in the East District."

At the same time, Klein sensed something, came above the gray fog, and saw Fors praying.

"The Moon Hotel?" Klein remembered this small hotel; it was inconspicuous and easily overlooked.

"Should I go hunting Triss now? Should I notify the Aurora Society?" Klein frowned in thought.

According to his estimation, Triss is probably around Sequence Six now, but the ring she wears is really something to be wary of.

He then consulted the oracle and discovered that this mission was not very dangerous and would not pose any threat to his life.

"There's also the possibility that Triss has already moved away." Just to be on the safe side, Klein decided to notify the Aurora Society and even revealed the news that Triss possessed a powerful sealed artifact.
