Chapter 534: Three Crises
Tactile Sense.
This wasn’t the first time Ashe had encountered this term, nor did he expect it to be the last. Since arriving in this world, no matter which Kingdom he was in, the watchful eyes of the Four Pillars were ever-present, much like a follower you can’t shake off each time you move, or the welcome messages from service providers you receive every time you visit a new place.
From the depths of his soul, Ashe asked the existential question every terminal patient seems to ponder: “Why me?”
Mercury Trojan Horse replied, “You have the scent of the Tactile Sense.”
“That’s the Eternal Presence, a little gift from the Gospel region’s Four Pillars distributor,” Ashe grumbled with evident frustration. “Reaching this point in my life, I owe it all to that little gift.”
Interestingly, over time, the “Eternal Wanderer” profession not only wasn’t nerfed, but even got buffed with each new version. Back when Ashe was a two-wings sorcerer, its effect was a +5 Luck Check in normal situations and a -50 in critical moments. As he climbed to the Distant Sky Domain, it buffed to +10 Luck Check in normal situations and -100 in critical moments.
There was no doubt Ashe’s misfortune resulted from triggering the -100, and as for the +10, it probably got applied when Ashe was doing card draws-his good luck being used up on draws like the “Lunar Star Swimsuit Sword Princess” and the “Empress in the Rain Witch.”
“It’s not her.” Mercury Trojan Horse knelt down and reached out to touch Ashe, but Tamashi grabbed her wrist. Unperturbed, she continued, “Her scent is as different from yours as this bonfire is from the night-the fire’s bright, but the night is deeper.”
Ashe skeptically sniffed his own hand and then offered it to Igor, who was in the middle: “I can’t smell anything. Do you think I have a scent?”
