Ring of Fate

Chapter 1038 Revelation (Thanks to the 37 Great Demon King for rewarding the Silver Alliance)

When Lumian walked down the stairs, the sun was still bright, and Franca, Janna and Anthony were leisurely enjoying afternoon tea.

Ludwig was there too, just not as laid back.

"Is the big-name party over?" Franca turned sideways and asked curiously.

Lumian suddenly recalled the various scenes in the majestic palace above the gray fog and nodded.

"ended."

"What can you tell me? Don't mention anything you can't tell me." Franka looked like she was just trying to broaden her horizons.

Lumian sat on the sofa and said in the language he learned in the Dream City:
"There's nothing much to say. Today's meeting was very dull. The major arcanas reported to Mr. Fool one by one on the matters they were responsible for, and Mr. Fool gave corresponding instructions."

“You respect Mr. Fool very much.” Franka said with emotion.

“Why do you say that?” Lumian was a little surprised.

Franca uttered a "huh" and first looked at Janna, then moved to Anthony:
"Such a simple question doesn't require me to answer, right?"

Janna helped Franca explain tacitly, and said with a slight smile:
"If you weren't Mr. Fool, you would definitely add more adjectives before 'instructions', such as commanding and overall planning."

This adds more meaning of teasing and joking.

"I have always been very respectful to the gods, except for a few exceptions." Lumian smiled with understanding.

He then said:
"As someone who is attending a meeting before the gods for the first time, I don't have anything to report. I just raised some questions related to Madam Pualis and her daughter Omybella, hoping to get answers from Mr. Fool."

"What did Mr. Fool say?" Janna and Franca asked in unison.

Before Lumian could reply, tiny specks of starlight suddenly appeared in the void.

The starlight quickly outlined the figure of Ms. Magician.

She said to Lumian, Franca and Janna:

"You can go to the Blue Avenger and explore the treasure house left by the Blood Emperor. I will go in with you and provide the necessary assistance.

"Do you need to postpone it for a while to make some preparations?"

The treasures of the Tudor Dynasty will obviously be mainly related to the "Hunter" path, supplemented by the "Witch" path, and then add some things from the "Fortune Teller", "Apprentice" and "Thief" paths. It is very suitable for the three "Witches" to explore and obtain the extraordinary characteristics required for normal promotion or jump paths.

As for Anthony's promotion, there are other arrangements.

Ludwig's further recovery of strength must wait until one of Lumian or Franka reaches the Sequence 3 level to avoid any accidents.

"No need, let's go now." Lumian had already discussed this matter with Franca and Janna.

Ms. "Magician" didn't say much. She created a dazzling and dreamy double door and brought the three "witches" to the "Blue Avenger" which was sailing in the strong wind and huge waves.

Mr. "Hanged Man", dressed as the captain, was waiting at the entrance of the cabin.

“Can you still sense the mirror mark you left in the treasure house?” the “magician” lady asked Lumian.

“Yes.” Lumian half-closed his eyes and sensed it.

He did not try to use the "mirror travel" method to reach the full-body mirror with the mark, because the corresponding area behind the mirror or the world in the mirror hides the resurrection plan of the "Blood Emperor" Alistair Tudor.

For him, the main function of the mirror mark at present is to provide the necessary positioning so that his companions can also enter the treasure house. In the future, it will serve as a trap mark to harm powerful enemies at the cost of mutual destruction.

After sensing, Lumian walked deeper into the cabin while deliberately continuing the previous topic.

He turned his head to look at Franca and Janna and said:

"Mr. Fool's revelation is that after becoming the 'Immortal Witch', go to the New Silver City to borrow the 'Gift of the Earth' and bring it to the 'City of Exile' and to the Broken Hand."

"Indeed, one knows Omybella, and the other called out Jeddas. If we let them touch each other, maybe some sparks will really fly." Franka suddenly realized.

At this time, Mr. "Hanged Man", who was the captain of the "Blue Avenger" and was walking in front, suddenly turned half sideways and said thoughtfully:

"I think that Mr. Fool's revelation is not only about the content behind it, but also about the premise."

Lumian mentioned Mr. Fool's revelation to Ms. Magician and Mr. Hanged Man in order to hear their views and opinions. Upon hearing this, he immediately asked:

"Becoming the 'Immortal Witch' is a prerequisite?"

The rough-looking and unkempt Mr. Hanged Man laughed in a low voice:
"Just borrow the 'Gift of the Earth' and bring it to the 'Festering Hand'. Can't you do it now? The only help you need may be communication with the Church of Knowledge."

"Yes." Janna agreed with Mr. Hanged Man:

Lumian already has all the conditions to use the "Gift of the Earth" for a short period of time, and can obtain the permission of the New Silver City through Mr. "Sun". He is also the agent of "0-01" and does not need to wait until the level of "Immortal Witch" to let Omibella's corpse meet the "Abducted Hand".

“Are the changes brought about by becoming the ‘Immortal Witch’ the catalyst for the whole thing? Or, only by reaching the Sequence 3 level can we deal with the inevitable accidents that will occur after the encounter between ‘Gift of the Earth’ and ‘Abundant Hand’? No, the latter situation can basically be ruled out.” Lumian, who was in the “Desperate Witch” state, slowed down his pace and said thoughtfully.

As the agent of "0-01", he has considerable authority in front of the Corpse Mountain, and it doesn't make much difference whether he is Sequence 4 or Sequence 3.

Moreover, he can also temporarily borrow the gift sealed by the "Underworld Man" and become a Sequence 3 "War Bishop".

In other words, the increase in strength brought about by the promotion to the "Immortal Witch" is not necessary.

"It should be a change caused by the characteristics of the 'Immortal Witch' itself." Ms. "Magician" gave her own judgment.

After listening quietly for a while, Franka muttered:

“Why don’t you be more explicit, Mr. Fool, and just give us the revelation and let us interpret it ourselves?”

Mr. "The Hanged Man" glanced at Franka:
"I learned a saying in Dream City: words come true.

“Every move and every word of great beings will have a profound impact on fate and the world. When Mr. Fool became a great being in just three years, many of the words he said were later confirmed and became facts.

"In this case, speaking clearly or not speaking clearly will be part of the whole thing, and the interference with fate will also be different, and the final result will also be deviated because of this."

Lumian was slightly surprised when he nodded in agreement.

He felt that Mr. Hanged Man was much more enthusiastic than in the previous encounters.

In the past, the "Hanged Man" would not be stingy with his own judgments and explanations, but he would only do his job and say his job. But this time, he actually took the initiative to talk about a lot of things that were off topic.

Is it because I have become a Major Arcana? Mr. Hanged Man is quite particular about hierarchy... Lumian looked away thoughtfully.

Ms. Magician added:
"Moreover, this matter involves the Great Mother. Even Mr. Fool can hardly see it clearly. He can only gain certain insights."

Hearing this, Franka glanced around and lowered her voice and said:

“Mr. Fool has just woken up. Well, I don’t mean to disrespect Mr. Fool. I’m just more concerned about his current condition. Maybe there is something I can help with? I am also a ‘traveler’ after all! Well, what I want to ask is, to what level has Mr. Fool recovered now? How is the ‘world’ identity you have woven running?”

Lumian, Ms. Magician, and Mr. Hanged Man looked at each other and said:
"We don't know the exact extent of his recovery, but we can be sure that he is not a complete 'Fool' at this level."

This "Fool" does not have a "Mr." added to it. It refers to the Sequence 0 "Fool" of the "Fortune Teller" pathway.

——The basis for the corresponding judgment of the Major Arcana, including Lumian, is: If Gehrman Sparrow is already a complete "Fool", it means that he has completely mastered all the authority of the "Fortune Teller" path. The real "Fool" will soon have enough advantages in fusion and confrontation and wake up completely.

Lumian continued:
“I personally feel that Mr. Fool is not smart enough now. In other words, he is more indifferent and apathetic, closer to Gehrman Sparrow.”

Franka thought for a while and said:
"I think, from my personal understanding, Gehrman Sparrow is currently more like an AI, artificial intelligence, that has incorporated some of Mr. Fool's will and ideas.

"Think about it, one of the foundations of Gehrman Sparrow's stable existence is a large number of belief anchors, and different people have different perceptions of him. This is just like one of the foundations of AI's existence is data, a large amount of data, and the data collected on the Internet and fed to AI may be wrong, fabricated, and self-imagined, which will pollute it, which is very similar to the pollution of belief anchors you mentioned.

"The current AI is outstanding in that as long as you dare to believe, it dares to write, and Gehrman Sparrow's reaction will also be polluted by the anchor of belief. Without affecting the core will and thoughts of Mr. Fool, it will show personalized and even contradictory performance.

"Well, he is equivalent to Mr. Fool's AI assistant. The better he iterates and the faster he evolves, the more authority and power Mr. Fool can control and mobilize, and ultimately help him defeat Tianzun."

Interpreting from the perspective of AI was something the Major Arcana had never thought of. Fortunately, everyone present had been to the Dream City and could barely understand what Franka was saying.

The "Magician" lady, who had a deep understanding of the anchor point of faith, nodded slowly and said:

"What we need to do next is to purify Gehrman Sparrow's anchor and adjust those people's perception of Gehrman Sparrow to varying degrees?"

"It also includes our understanding of Gehrman Sparrow." Mr. "The Hanged Man" added.

As they were talking, they came to the stairs leading to the lower level of the cabin.
