Secret: I can play two paths

Chapter 4 Arrival
It must be said that the Alfalfa, which had not experienced any bloodshed, traveled much faster. Even in the bad weather of the violent sea, the ship did not lose its way and reached the port of Enmat in just a few days.

At this time, the sun was setting, and the charming sunset fell on the deck of the Clover. In just a few minutes, a fiery red sunset hung at the end of the sea. The sky and the sea merged perfectly.

Star walked lazily on the boat in this rare scenery, listening to the people around him either cursing their bad luck for encountering big pirates, or being grateful that they did not encounter more despicable criminals, mixed with some emotion about Tris being taken away.

"I heard that the pirates discovered this cultist. Fortunately, they were taken away. Otherwise, I don't know what trouble they would have caused."

"What can he do? There's a storm ahead. If he has any ideas, our sailors will definitely take action against him."

……

Star listened to the conversation between the passengers next to him and remained silent without debating. Although he could convince them, there was no point in doing so. The reality that Tris was taken away had already revealed who was more correct.

Secretly uncovering the hidden dangers on the ship without being discovered just fits the core of the lawyer's path: using rules and walking in the shadow of order.

With the help of the "no killing of prisoners" order set by Nast, the King of the Five Seas, a lawyer and extraordinary person, the "instigator" Tris was eliminated through his hand, but no one has noticed it yet.

Seeing them like this, his lawyer's magic potion loosened a little.

Moreover, these days, seeing the young man named Joyce on the boat looking forward to going back to reunite with his fiancée, everyone getting along happily, and the ladies and children around them being safe and sound, he felt that what he had done had already been rewarded.

Star benefited a lot this time. Not only did he eliminate the disaster, but he also accelerated his role as a gambler and greatly promoted his digestion progress.

Not only was the original owner's "lawyer" potion digested, but the new lawyer potion he took was also more than halfway through and almost completely digested.

Although there were some unexpected events in the middle, under such randomness, thanks to his prompt decision (his gambling nature), he succeeded in the end.

"I always feel like the gambler sequence itself is affecting me. It's impossible that I am such a serious gambler, right?"

No, that's not the case. It must be this channel's fault.

Star skipped his complaints and went on with his daily life.

"Judgment: Within the next five minutes, I will be able to recall some of the contents of the potion formula."

[Dark Dice]

[Memory: 87/71 (failure)]

The amount of spirituality was reduced by a quarter, and Star felt that his head was a mess, and he could not catch any of the fragments of memory.

"It seems it failed."

But it doesn't matter. Ever since he fainted and woke up from overdosing on spiritual power that day, Star has been exploring his abilities and figuring out how to use them this way.

Since he has the shelter between reality and illusion, he can naturally recall the plot without any worries, and the thing that can bring him the most benefits in the short term is naturally the potion formula.

Up to now, he has tried it more than ten times and obtained some contents of the potion formula sporadically.

Xiao Ke's Source Castle allows Xiao Ke to directly divine the potion formula.

Star cannot directly give those formulas between reality and illusion, but Star has "seen" those formulas.

It makes sense that he could use dice rolls to help himself remember potion recipes.

In order to avoid failure in one judgment, he also set a time limit to avoid obstacles in recalling the formula later.

In this way, Star can repeat this routine every day without worry. If the luck of the dice is good, he will be rewarded with a potion formula. If the luck is bad, he can just play the role of a gambler.

As a gambler, his style is naturally to gamble on everything, this is the role-playing code he has summarized so far. This is how he convinced himself.

Seeing that his daily routine had failed, the ship slowly approached the port. Star packed his luggage and got off the ship. On June 1349, 6 of the Weird Calendar, Star arrived at this "homeland" of the earth a thousand years later before Klein.

On the crowded pier, he watched Joyce excitedly hugging his fiancée Anna.

In response, he smiled, stepped into the crowd, and began to plan his next steps.

"At this point in time, the black divination that Klein launched also happened. Xiao Ke is coming too. I have contacted his brother Benson. Do you want to pay him a visit?"

But after thinking about it, he still had to deal with some matters left by the original owner, so Sta gave up the idea.

Like him, this Star was also an orphan. Being strong-willed, he did not rely on his looks to make a living. After coming out of the orphanage, he quickly used his keen eyes to focus on the trade between the North and South continents. After working hard for a while, he eventually became an extraordinary person in the South Continent. Unfortunately, he died suddenly on the ship.

Although the goods had been looted by pirates, he still had to deal with the merchants in Tingen City.

Moreover, the fact that Klein had access to the secret society's notes was also manipulated by "0-08". Tonight's birth even had the goddess' attention.

Star thought he didn't want to cause any trouble, so he went to have a direct and intimate contact with them.

We still have to take our time in dealing with the affairs of Tingen City.

"So, let's take the steam train west to our home in Tingen."

The situation in the southern continent has not been good recently, so I can take this opportunity to pack up my things and give up some businesses I don't want to continue. I may move to Backlund in the future, so it would be a good opportunity to sell off those unused assets.

So, Star walked out of the dock and prepared to take a carriage to the steam train station.

Along the way, there were places on the street where dirty water was flowing, debris was littered, and the foul smell irritated his nostrils.

"It's been a while since I went from modern life to the Victorian era. It's been a bit of an adjustment."

These changes in living habits are secondary. After all, Star also has the memories of the original owner as a foundation, and some of what he saw and heard made him feel uncomfortable.

People come and go on the noisy streets. The poor are dressed in rags and have numb expressions. They work hard to make a living and don't care about the dirt on their bodies or around them.

What's more, not everyone has the right to survive, and many children have sallow complexions due to malnutrition.

“When was the last time you saw something like this, on a documentary?”

In Star's time, at least where he lived, hunger was a thing of the past, and if someone starved to death, it would be a huge joke.

As he watched the real scenes of the steam age pass by before his eyes, his lips pursed slightly.

"The industrial revolution that I started with my own hands, and the age of steam and machinery that I created with my own hands, will become the breeding ground for the birth of evil gods?"

Somehow, he recalled this sentence from Russell's diary.

Thinking of the disasters that would have happened if the original trajectory had been followed, Star's heart tensed and he felt some sympathy.

“Maybe I can change something.”

“It’s a bit troublesome though.”

“But if we don’t do this, the journey will not be complete.”

"Go do something. Even if it's not to avoid those unforeseen disasters, or to live until the end of the world, you have to bring a little change to this world."

Star's will became unusually firm with this resolution, even though he remembered that his own path to promotion was a bit deceptive.
