Chapter 47: Conspiracy

"Hiss... this is powerful."

William took a sharp breath, and the temperature around him rose by several degrees.

In his past life, he had only heard about this as an item that increases luck value. He had seen style images on player forums, but no player who owned it had ever posted the specific effects, just a simple description.

Never had he expected the luck value to increase by a whopping 3 points, making William's luck much more appealing.

In his past life, William knew that the best way to increase luck was the expertise "[Blessing of the World Tree]", but even that only raised it by two points.

One could say this was the only treasure in the game related to the God of Fate?

As for the Lucky effect, there was relevant information in William's past life.

William knew that the simplest application was in battles, where it could make every attack hit weak points and critical hits.

According to the player's luck value, the critical hit rate fluctuated between ten and twenty percent with each attack.

The Lucky effect was equivalent to William triggering a critical hit one hundred percent of the time for five seconds!

Moreover, during these five seconds, many unbelievable things could be accomplished.

For example, with just a wire, one could open a chest with an advanced magical lock.

For example, even without understanding the relevant knowledge, as long as magical ingredients were mixed together, a high-quality potion could be concocted.

However, this effect should also have limitations. Firstly, there's a limit to what good luck can achieve.

An ordinary person with extremely good luck might defeat low-level professionals (such as when a sudden red dragon flies over and breathes fire, instantly killing the opponent), but they could never defeat a god.

Secondly, according to the instructions, after each use of the Lucky effect, there would be three days of being an unlucky person.

This was something the previous owner hadn't mentioned.

William seriously doubted how lucky he would be in the Lucky state and how unlucky he would be in the unlucky state.

Is this fate?

Fortune and misfortune are intertwined, and misfortune often follows fortune.

But regardless, this treasure is incredibly powerful, and now it belongs to William.

Wearing this four-leaf clover brooch on his chest, it looked pretty good, not to mention.

William readily invested all the recent experience points he had obtained into leveling up.

William shivered all over, feeling the exhilarating sensation brought by five consecutive level-ups.

"Comfortable!"

William enjoyed himself for a while before delving into today's arcane research.

It had been a month since he obtained the treasure brooch, and the Annual Holy Festival was drawing nearer. The sense of urgency in William's heart was growing stronger, and he didn't have much time left for himself.

At a secret outpost in Canlight City, at the moment William obtained the treasure brooch:

The secret chamber was located underground, with dimly flickering candles. A figure cloaked in black stood silently in the center of the chamber, seemingly awaiting someone.

Before long, another person, wrapped tightly in their cloak, walked in and stood before the cloaked figure.

"How's the task I gave you?"

"It's not completed yet."

The newcomer took off their hood, revealing himself to be Camus, who had clashed with William at the Mage Academy.

"You haven't completed such a simple task? I didn't even ask you to kill that Viscount, just to test his strength."

The cloaked figure was very displeased. If it weren't for Camus being classmates with William, this task wouldn't have been assigned to him at all, as it was crucial to the plans of the higher-ups.

"Give me some more time! That guy William hardly ever leaves his place. I can't find an opportunity. Last time I tried to corner him at the academy, but no matter what I did, I couldn't provoke him. I had to resort to having his Golden Warrior guard intervene."

Camus was also feeling aggrieved. He couldn't understand how a prestigious Golden Warrior could become the bodyguard of a fallen viscount. What was it about William that was so enticing?

"I don't care. If you delay the plans of the higher-ups, you know the consequences."

The cloaked figure replied, their words carrying a strong threat.

Camus's face changed, gritting his teeth, he said:

"As long as you arrange for someone to engage that guard, I'll take care of William myself. I'm sure I can find out his secrets."

The cloaked figure looked at Camus as if he were an idiot:

"What are you thinking? I only sent you to probe without alerting him. Do you want to arrange for a Golden-ranked professional, something we wouldn't even resort to if this mission fails?"

The cloaked figure didn't say much more, finally stating:

"The Annual Holy Festival is only two months away. I'll give you another half a month. If you still can't complete it, you won't have to answer to me."

With that, the cloaked figure walked straight out of the room, slamming the door shut.

Left alone in the secret chamber, Camus's face was dark, as if water could drip from it at any moment. Clenching his fists, his nails almost drew blood.

He thought it would be a simple task, but it had turned out like this.

William! It's all your fault!

Don't blame me then!

With determination, Camus, his face somewhat crazed, left the secret chamber.
