"I understand, if possible, please help me with this," he said.
Lis nodded; if he could change his luck, he would.
After all, after locating the position of the Evil God believer he was hunting, he still had to find the person himself.
If he then entered an unlucky status, he couldn't be sure that the hunter wouldn't change locations during the three days it would take for the misfortune to pass.
Initially, he thought of leaving the matter of hunting the Evil God believer to Andor City, but now it seemed if Rosanara could change his luck, it would be safest to capture them himself.
Without hesitation, Lis immediately used [Acadia's lucky brooch].
[You have used the Secret Treasure [Acadia's lucky brooch]!]
[You have entered a Lucky status, duration: 10 seconds]
(Your Luck Value has reached 10 points, Lucky duration is doubled!)
The Luck Brooch normally granted the status of Lucky for 5 seconds, but it was enhanced to 10 seconds due to his own increased Luck Value.
This was an unexpected delight!
Lis thought to himself, feeling great while in his Lucky status; it was as though whatever he did would succeed.
Taking a deep breath without wasting any time, Lis silently recited the location of the Evil God believer he had planned to hunt and casually threw his dagger at the map of Andor City on the wall.
A muffled sound was heard as the dagger Lis threw lodged into the map, its blade sinking deep into the wall behind it.
Even though a few seconds remained for his Lucky status, Lis didn't plan to take the chance to do more.
He knew well that destiny was always about balance.
If he took advantage of his Lucky status for more benefits, he'd face more misfortune during his impending Unlucky Fellow state.
After weighing the pros and cons, Lis decided to quietly wait for the Lucky time to pass.
[Your Lucky status has ended!]
[You have acquired the Unlucky Fellow status, duration: 36 hours]
(Your Luck Value has reached 10 points, Unlucky Fellow duration is reduced by half!)
The duration being reduced by half was good news!
Lis nodded, not bothering to look at the map on the wall but instead turned to Rosanara standing beside him.
Rosanara, of course, understood what Lis meant; she had observed the unique changes in Lis's fate that unfolded before her eyes, which had truly taken her by surprise.
The power of the Destiny Domain contained in the silver brooch was too strong, it even gave Rosanara a sense of purity and reverence, making her unable to harbor a single thought of resistance.
Meanwhile, the swap of the Lucky and Misfortune status on Lis somehow boggled Rosanara.
However, the only piece of good news was that the force of misfortune on Lis was not too strong, at least Rosanara was confident she could still influence it to some extent.
Rosanara looked solemn and slowly extended her right index finger.
She stood on tiptoe, and her slender, white finger gently touched Lis's heart.
In Lis's eyes, illusory and hazy Spirit Light radiated from Rosanara, flowing like water along her finger into his brow, yet Lis himself felt nothing.
After a moment, Rosanara lowered her raised arm, her face a bit pale but her eyes sparkling as she said to Lis:
"It's done, I've managed to delay the Misfortune on you by a day, that's the limit of what I can do," she said.
"However, the intensity of the Misfortune might increase a bit when it comes, but it shouldn't have much of an impact on you," she added.
"Thank you, take some rest now," he replied.
Lis looked at Rosanara who seemed a bit unsteady on her feet, apparently, this task had been a considerable burden on her.
Lis was minutely aware and in control of his bodily sensations and while he couldn't feel any difference, he did indeed feel a lot lighter in his heart.
Hopefully, the supposed increase in the strength of his Misfortune isn't too exaggerated, right?
Lis pondered as he walked over to the wall where the map of Andor City was hung.
The position where the dagger had stabbed into the map was quite obvious!
At the heart of Andor City,
As a member of the Alorotti family, Denis was also something of a Royal Family member of the Elf Kingdom, possessing his own residence within the palace.
At the moment, Denis reclined on the sofa, holding a glass of fragrant wine without tasting it.
He looked much more desolate than he had at the party two nights ago.
"What are you still worried about?" Salem said, looking at Denis's pensive pretty-boy image, rather irritably.
"That Moon Elf is about to leave Andor City with that Human Sage."
"What's the point of being now?" she chided.
"I told you to be more proactive, but you didn't listen!"
"Would you really act as boldly as that?" Denis responded despondently to his friend's teasing.
"Haven't I told you already!" Salem seemed a bit exasperated, yet genuinely concerned for Denis.
"That Moon Elf really feels something for that human; if you delay any longer, you'll really have no chance!"
"And I think that human doesn't have any good intentions towards Daphne!"
"That's just a possibility, and after all, he is the respected Elf Sage."
"Mind your manners, remember the Sage was attacked by Evil God believers just two days ago, and now the family head is quite enraged and searching for the culprit!"
"Speaking ill of the Sage, be careful not to be overheard," Denis warned.
"What does that matter..." Salem muttered.
