Lian had been having too much good luck lately.
It wasn't just that the war was proceeding exactly as he had predicted; other things were also going exceptionally smoothly.
For instance, he had stumbled upon the escaping Tree Monster cubs that even the scouting corps couldn't find.
For instance, he learned from Sally that black market merchants were about to hold an auction in the Green Shade Territory, and a rare Succubus would be up for sale.
For instance, while he was practicing his One-Sword Style in the woods, the ground suddenly collapsed to reveal a cave. Inside was a hidden treasure left by some unknown person. While it wasn't a massive hoard, it was enough for two chests of gold and jewels, suddenly giving him the confidence to buy the Succubus at the black market.
Things like this were happening so frequently that Lian started to feel like his fortunes had completely turned around, creating the illusion that he was blessed by good luck.
