Chapter 114 Divination?
Chapter 114 Divination?
Is this the problem again?
After hearing the princess' words, the lazy young man hesitated for a moment, and did not immediately throw the dice, but suggested:
“Your Highness Veronica, although the results I got from the dice only represent the present, in some problems with a long time span, the conditions and results often change, but they don’t change every time.
It has only been a few months since you last asked this question. If you ask this question now, the result will not be much different from last time, so you'd better change the question. "
"No need to change it, just this one."
The princess shook her head and said calmly:
"This is my innate responsibility and my only hope right now. What else can I ask?"
"Since you insist, fine."
After shrugging helplessly, the lazy young man loosened his right hand, and the two dice hit the table one after another. After bouncing a few times, two bright red dots appeared.
"Because of what happened with the Ryan family, the probability of you being able to save the kingdom is indeed two points higher than last time, now reaching 11 percent."
As the lazy young man spoke, he tapped the table lightly with his knuckles. The two dice jumped and then continued to roll.
"The next step is to control the military and cooperate with the Minister of Defense. After taking over the vacant position of the Ryan family, the probability will increase by another two points.
Then, unite with the Prime Minister to intervene in the House of Lords to suppress the old nobles; then unite with the old nobles to suppress the House of Commons and introduce bills to restrict some business activities and increase taxes. After doing these, the probability will increase to 26 points;
Then you can find a way to become the queen, and by eliminating the rebels and resisting a new round of invasion, you can take back the military, financial, legislative, personnel and other powers, and then promote a group of officials who share the same vision as you. At this time, the probability will increase to fifty-one in one go..."
It’s really similar to last time.
Listening to the gradually increasing probability and the things she was originally planning to do, the princess couldn't help but smile, and then shook her head slightly.
Indeed, if he did all this, he would be able to save the country, but these things were not as simple as ordering a cart of fruit or secretly removing the wheels.
If I want to truly implement every item proposed by the other party, I will need countless days and nights of hard work and years of difficult negotiations. I still have a long way to go...
"Gulu Gulu!"
Just as the princess was listening carefully, for some unknown reason, the dice on the table did not continue to move to "sixty-six" after reaching "fifty-one", but suddenly rolled over at high speed.
Under the dumbfounded gaze of the lazy young man, the two dice on the table spun faster and faster, until they even rubbed the solid wood desk so hard that black smoke came out, and a pungent burnt smell began to spread throughout the room.
How is this going? !
Although it was basically impossible for the anomaly to be destroyed in this way, the lazy young man still instinctively reached out to grab them, trying to force the two dice to stop. However, as soon as his hand touched the dice, the two high-speed rotating bone dice directly scratched his palm.
When he hastily withdrew his hand because of the pain, the two blood-stained dice knocked against each other a few times, and finally slowly stopped moving, with the two sharp edges facing the ceiling, lying quietly in the small pit worn out on the table.
"..."
Seeing the lazy young man staring blankly at the dice, the princess couldn't help but feel nervous and asked quickly:
“Why are the two corners representing “zero” facing upwards? What does this mean?”
"It means... the launch was not completely successful this time."
Looking at the dice stained with his own blood, and the circles of blood left on the table, the lazy young man covered his still bleeding right hand and said with a frown:
"The question you asked involves a person with a Lyon value of more than 60 points... I mean, a true god-level being. He noticed our spying and stopped the investigation." True God? How is it related to the true god again?
As someone who knew about the existence of the Cleanup Bureau and anomalies, the princess certainly also knew some information about the true gods. She realized that they were not as great and generous as the believers said, and her expression suddenly tensed.
"Could it be...that a true God will descend upon the kingdom in the future?"
"Probably not."
The lazy young man shook his head upon hearing this, and said hesitantly:
"A true god-level being is not necessarily a true god. Although I didn't see his appearance, judging from his body shape, he should be a human, but he has multiple wings on his back, and..."
And it looks strangely familiar...
After recalling the vision he had just seen and remembering the back of the "true god" with black hair, black eyes, a slightly thin figure, and several wings of different colors on his back, the lazy young man spoke to comfort him:
"And that person may not be targeting the kingdom. If he is really a true god, you may come into conflict with his followers in the future, or you may have some cooperation with them, or even just meet them several times in a row. There is a chance that he may notice these and interrupt your spying.
But with our Cleanup Bureau here, there won't be any big problems. There have been countless true gods who tried to descend before, but they were all driven back in the end. No true god can stay in this world for a long time, so you don't need to worry too much."
But that's a real God! How could I not be worried?
After listening to the lazy young man's words, the princess couldn't help but take a deep breath and then asked:
"So could you try it again? Just to be sure."
"Sorry, this really can't be done..."
Raising his still bleeding palm and shaking it towards the princess, the lazy young man said helplessly:
“That being’s personality was probably quite mild. After discovering my spying, he didn’t get angry, but only gave me a slight punishment.
But if I continue to be ignorant and try to spy on the future, I'm unlikely to be killed, but I'm afraid I'll have to stay in bed for a few months at the very least."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
After sighing in disappointment, the princess silently took out her checkbook, not only paid the fee as agreed, but also added a large additional reward, and then said with some concern:
"After a while, if the true god is no longer watching you..."
"Then I will make up the results of this time immediately, and will inform you as soon as possible if there are any abnormalities."
After making a promise to the "old customer", the tired and lazy young man took out a bandage, wrapped his injured right hand, then decisively said goodbye, took back the deposited suitcase and rushed to the cleaning bureau.
Although his director was an easy-going type, the General Administration still set up very strict management regulations for his important ability, which was extremely precious and could easily change the situation.
Especially in terms of whereabouts, where you have been and who you have contacted, all must be reported in detail, so only in the gap before and after the completion of the task can you have time to secretly "earn extra money".
In order to help the new colleague ascend to the throne of Duke, he has already wasted almost two days. If he does not go back to settle the task, he will probably have to accept the inspection of the General Administration together with the new colleague.
He pushed open the heavy door and entered the Cleanup Bureau. After carrying the suitcase through the dim corridor, he found that the end of the corridor was illuminated by sunlight. The door of the director's office seemed to be open. The lazy young man hesitated for a moment and did not go back to his office directly. Instead, he took out the task report he had already written and walked towards the director's office.
"Chief, I'm back from completing my investigation... ah... sorry."
When he was about to speak with the report in his hand, he found that there were other people in the office. The lazy young man couldn't help but apologize politely, and then subconsciously looked at his colleagues in the room.
A young man with black hair, black eyes, and a slightly thin figure turned around with a hint of surprise and looked at him...
