Ding~ Ding~
The milky-white dice bounced a few times on the table, then rolled to a stop in front of Leyton, with six dots facing up!
Such good luck! Did the dice give it special treatment? Leyton looked incredulously at Bugs Bunny, who was straining his neck to peek over, then casually picked up the Die of Probability and put it back in its small iron box.
Seeing the Die of Probability immediately put away by Leyton, Bugs Bunny asked anxiously:
"Boss, what was the number?"
"Six..." Leyton replied softly, then stood up to pay the bill.
The restaurant waiter saw Leyton stand up and immediately walked over, smiling as he spoke in not-so-fluent Loen:
"Respected guest, today happens to be our restaurant's twentieth anniversary, and every twentieth guest's meal is on us!"
Leyton looked at Bugs Bunny in surprise. Did his six points just get us a free meal? But rabbits don't have to pay anyway, right? Did the luck transfer?
After a moment of silence, Leyton smiled faintly and nodded to the waiter in front of him, saying:
"So that's how it is. It seems my luck is quite good today."
"The juice here is excellent. Can I take a serving to go?"
He pointed to the finished juice on the table. It was made from a local fruit called Takina, which resembled a green coconut, with white flesh mixed with something like mint, all juiced together, giving it a sweet and sour taste.
"No problem, please wait a moment."
The waiter responded with a polite smile, then turned and walked towards the counter at the back of the restaurant.
"Hmm, wasn't it my die? Why didn't the luck appear on me?"
Bugs Bunny asked, with a suspicious expression that suggested he was doubting his rabbit existence.
"Perhaps, the Die of Probability doesn't know how to give luck to a rabbit..." Leyton said, rubbing Bugs Bunny's head playfully.
In a few moments, the restaurant waiter returned with two greenish-blue fruits, each with a straw inserted.
The waiter smiled and handed the two juices to Leyton, saying in somewhat unpracticed Loen:
"Respected guest, here is your juice. The shop just happened to have two servings left."
Leyton smiled, took the juice, thanked the waiter, and then turned to leave the restaurant.
On the dim street, Bugs Bunny held a greenish-blue fruit with a straw in one paw, sipping the juice and sighing:
"Six points of luck only got me two juices…"
"Maybe you'll pick up a bag of gold coins just by walking down the street..." Leyton said, chuckling as he comforted Bugs Bunny.
"Ouch~"
No sooner had he spoken than Bugs Bunny, who had just walked into a shadow, suddenly tripped. The two fruit shells containing juice in his hand flew out and landed on the ground with a splat.
"Six points of luck is really unlucky!"
Bugs Bunny complained, kicking away the object that had tripped him.
Thud~
A heavy metallic thud echoed from the ground ahead. Leyton turned his head to look. What Bugs Bunny had kicked into the lamplight was a dark, rusty metal ring, covered in a lot of mud, as if it had just been dug out of the ground.
Bugs Bunny walked over curiously, sniffing it with his nose:
"Soil with the scent of herbal powder. This was just dug out of a tomb!"
Leyton summoned an invisible hand, picking up the muddy and rusty metal ring. Spiritual power spread out, forming deep blue waves that quickly washed away the mud from the surface of the ring.
The ring was primarily grey-blue and dark gold, inscribed with many strange patterns that were now difficult to discern. It was large enough to fit around Bugs Bunny's waist.
Leyton examined it for a moment, then quickly concluded:
"A very crude style. The craftsmanship is not mature. Perhaps it's an item from the early Fourth Epoch or even the Third Epoch."
"Hmm, then isn't it very valuable?"
Bugs Bunny's eyes lit up, and he immediately jumped up from the ground, hugging the ring to his chest.
Leyton didn't mind Bugs Bunny's actions and casually explained:
"If someone is willing to buy it."
"It doesn't contain spirituality, or perhaps its spirituality has completely dissipated. In any case, it's just an ordinary metal ring now."
"I'm going to keep it. This is something I got with six points of luck; it must be useful!" Bugs Bunny mumbled, hugging the ring.
Leyton nodded gently, not refuting Bugs Bunny's words. If nothing else unexpected happened today, this ring might indeed be something brought by six points of luck. Even if it wasn't, nothing bad would happen under six points of luck.
As thoughts flickered, his figure suddenly became transparent, transforming into sparkling starlight that surged forward, carrying Bugs Bunny's figure into the Spirit World.
Dalinius Island, an area of the Sonia Sea close to the Berserk Sea.
The Prophet Clone stepped into a tavern near the docks. His gaze swept around, quickly finding Sia and Phoenix seated in a corner.
He first went to the bar to order a glass of rum, taking the opportunity to listen to what the surrounding Sailors and adventurers were discussing.
"Lightning has been striking in the Rorsted Sea from time to time recently. I feel like it's even more dangerous than the Berserk Sea!"
"Heh heh… Isn't that the truth? I heard that those sons of bitches from the Storm Church had the Cathedral of Waves stolen right in front of them. Those hot-tempered fellows must be furious by now, haha!"
"Jack Black, you're starting to believe those rumors too? That's a cathedral! Who has the ability to just move an entire cathedral?"
The middle-aged man called Jack Black chuckled twice, speaking with an air of disdain:
"But the Cathedral of Waves really did disappear. That's a fact seen by everyone who left Bayam!"
"Maybe it was destroyed in that terrifying storm."
"If you're so concerned, why don't you go to Bayam and see for yourselves?"
A provocative voice spoke up, and the surrounding patrons either fell silent or gave disdainful glances.
"Tsk, a bunch of cowards."
The young man who had just spoken mockingly let out a disdainful snort. His fiery red hair was as flamboyant as his personality. Dressed in hunting attire, his brownish eyebrows and eyes were exceptionally sharp.
As if sensing something, he looked towards the Prophet Clone. After an arrogant stare, he raised his glass and clinked it in the air with the Prophet Clone's, then drained it.
The Prophet Clone, while being observed by the other party, chuckled and drained the liquor in his own glass, then walked past him towards Sia and Phoenix, who were seated in the corner.
He naturally pulled out a chair next to Phoenix and sat down, then looked at Sia, who was sitting opposite him, and asked with a light laugh:
"Why meet in a tavern?"
Sia rested one elbow on the table, her palm against the side of her face, and gently tapped a glass with her other hand. Her voice was calm, showing little emotion as she said:
"This is the best place to gather information. Of course, the most important reason is that I wanted a drink."
As she spoke, her own spirituality silently spread out, forming an invisible barrier around them, isolating any potential eavesdropping.
"The spirit I sent out has already found Newins. There is still a ship in that sea area that can navigate underwater."
As Phoenix spoke, he turned his head to look at Sia opposite him, seemingly waiting for her response.
"The Submerged Ship. That Deep Sea Admiral once delved into underwater ruins, excavating relics of some alchemists from ancient times. When the two ships are joined, they can navigate underwater, and when separated, they function as normal ships—the Submerged Ship."
"That Deep Sea Admiral is rumored to have partial sea monster bloodline, allowing him to exert even greater combat power at sea. He can be considered a top-tier Sequence Five combatant."
Phoenix nodded slightly and said:
"We can go directly through the Spirit World. It will be easy to bypass the ships on alert in the outer perimeter."
"As for the pirates on board, I can summon enough undead to deal with them, allowing you to focus on the injured Witch."
