48 Oh fortuna
Yunan passed the book to the unbelieving Debauchery, where was the golden glow? Where was the skill training light? How could there be nothing when he opened the book? This was a book from Tartarus, no books can get out of Tartarus, no one with status could do it, if the book was able to leave Tartarus it must have been very special so why did nothing happen when he read the book. No one has ever successfully took out a chest or a book outside Tartarus, maybe only monsters can.
Leaving the puzzle unsolved, Debauchery retraced their steps back to where the kidnapped females were, they were all under strange sedation. It originated from the fluids of the goblins, it would keep the poor victims in a state of euphoria to hinder them from committing suicide or deliberately abort the fetus. Those women would not remember what happened to them afterwards and would only feel as if they were sleeping all that time.
Taking the women with them, Debauchery returned to the city and entrusted them to the guards to take the appropriate and necessary actions so as take care of the victims and deal with the aftermath of birthing for them. After selling the items they gained and putting the treasure chest for an auction, under the urging of Yunan the party visited the orphanage he grew up in. Reina and Leol bought some sweets and pastries for the children and debauchery choose to donate money to the sisters instead.
Yunan almost did not recognize the orphanage overflowing with noisy and ill behaved children, he left it just a month and a half ago and it was as quiet and peaceful as a grave, there were so many children and even the sisters were overworked and looked haggard. Yunan led the party to meet his mother - sister Theresa, who was so overjoyed to see him that she just and held onto him all the time they were together.
According to what the sisters told the nice guests who brought them pastries -since the number of pastries was too little for the kids it was diverted to the sister- the orphanage has always been filled like this before, well until Yunan was brought there and most of the kids had been either adopted or taken by various organizations to train them as the next generation of members. After that, for a full 10 years the orphanage was quiet and had an abundance of resources and donations from the public, then after Yunan left to the academy, the orphanage filled up so fast they had to get more sisters to keep up with the surge of orphans that arrived.
Yunan could only smile silly and scratched the back of his head, it was his fault when the orphanage became quiet and also his fault for it being over filled after he left, so he decided to sink all his gained gold for the orphanage to ease some of the immense pressure on his mother.
Soon the party left the orphanage and before they made it to the gates of the academy, there was a troop of fully armed men waiting for them at the door. The auction house had to report to the guild about a chest from Tartarus that was being auctioned after it was appraised by the master appraiser of the auction house. According to the appraiser the value of the chest was too high for any auction not presided over by the guild. Thus summons arrived to take them to meet the chief of the guild branch for interrogation.
The troops were sent back with a sealed letter explaining the situation and the excuse that Debauchery were too tired and hungry for meeting the chief or provide any further explanation. As for the chest it would be auctioned off or the guild can buy it at the suggested price by the master appraiser, otherwise it must be returned to debauchery or else bad things happen. And so the news that a chest from Tartarus made it out almost drowned any other news and representatives from all the races met the current leader of the guild to discuss a way to deal with slippery things like Debauchery without incurring their wrath and vengeance and still keep the chest, and buying it at the astronomical figure suggest by the master appraiser would bankrupt a continent. The discussion kept going until midnight and the only thing they could come up with is how are we going to secure the chest if they insist on auctioning it.
It was decided that to silence Debauchery for now they would announce an auction of the chest around a month later and negotiate with Debauchery during that time.
As for the clueless Debauchery they were now sitting around Yunan trying to discover any changes that happened to him but failing to find anything, until Reina suggested "Maybe we could ask Black Fate since it is clearly an intelligent artifact, it asked if it could absorb mana for an action, and when it revealed its information, there was only what we needed to know and not every possible thing about it" with the consensus of everyone Yunan ordered the ring to reveal what had changed during after he opened the book and a holographic screen appeared.

For some reason everyone around felt like pummeling Yunan black and blue for no reason at all, some did act on such impulse, if his luck was not bad before, how obscene must it be now.
"It is official now, Yunan here is the friend of Lady Luck and the first person born with luck as a superpower, and for that i Balin master dwarf, will do my utmost to smooch off your luck until it runs dry, now ask little fate if you can invoke it at will, that most horrible superpower of all." Yunan checked with black fate and the answer almost got him strangled when the screen flashed.
