Ring of Fate

Chapter 1064 "Feast" (ask for monthly ticket at the beginning of the month)
In an apartment with insufficient lighting, the hands of a classic clock ticked.

Lumian, Franca, Janna and Anthony were standing in front of a corpse, watching Ludwig, who was squatting beside them, tying a white napkin.

“You have good table manners…” Lumian joked when he saw this.

The corpse in the room belonged to the remaining Sequence 4 demigod of the Cult of Disease in Trier. His name was Satipo El, and he was previously controlled by Mr. Fool. He recently completed the task of making all the believers under his control pray to the "God of Plague" and the "God of Disease". Then, Lumian received an oracle from Mr. Fool, asking them to come to this apartment at this time to take over the follow-up matters.

As soon as Lumian and others knocked on the door, they saw Satipo El lying on the ground in front of everyone, turned into a corpse.

Fortunately, Lumian had already pulled the apartment and all the items inside it into the mirror world in advance, and asked Anthony to quickly place the "Winter is Coming" pistol on the body.

Lumian felt strange when he thought about how Satipo El, who had been busy helping him and Franka to connect with believers and spread the new doctrine, was essentially Mr. Fool's clone.

Isn't it wrong that the deity you believe in works tirelessly and diligently, running around to help you recruit believers, preach the teachings, and spread your name?

Does the great being also do things so personally?

Lumian thought that this was quite normal, remembering what the “magician” lady had told him about Amon’s past and the abilities of the high-ranking people in the “thief” and “fortune teller” paths.
There are millions of incarnations, all of them are yourself!
“Can I eat now?” Ludwig raised his head and looked at Lumian eagerly.

"Let's communicate with the spirit world first?" Lumian turned his head and asked Franca.

Although, after being "parasitized", Mr. Fool must have mastered all the information that Satipo knew, Lumian felt that he and others should still communicate with the spirits as needed. They couldn't possibly trouble Mr. Fool for everything, right?

Franka looked at the spirit of Satipo floating in the air, thought for a moment and said:
"The decay rate is slower than expected. It should be that Mr. Fool has done something about it. Let's not rush to communicate with him. Have you thought about what to ask?"

Janna echoed:

"Why don't we search the apartment first to see what clues we can find, and then we can channel the spirit afterwards. That way, we'll have a clear idea of ​​what to ask."

“Okay.” Lumian saw that many green and yellow light spots had settled on Anthony’s “Winter is Coming” revolver, and smiled at Ludwig, “Eat.”

He had asked Ludwig in advance if he would directly transform into a real sea monster with an exaggerated size if he recovered to Sequence 4, which is "sea monster". In that case, Ludwig would not be able to stay in Trier unless he hid in the mirror world every day.

Ludwig looked at his hands and body for a few seconds, then he became overwhelmed with grief and cried, "It's not enough yet."

He was obviously disappointed by this.

He told Lumian that there shouldn't be any major changes in his appearance, but he would have to take him to the ocean once a day so that he could have a real meal. This was a simple task for Lumian, who possessed the ability to "teleport."

With the godfather's consent, Ludwig cheered and rushed to the corpse.

Franca and Janna both turned their backs subconsciously.

Amid the sounds of tearing, chewing, snapping and crunching, the two witches checked every corner of the apartment.

Mechanical music boxes, classical desk clocks, fabric sofas, red desks, brass gas meters, exquisite small statues and other items flashed past Franka and Janna's eyes one after another.

Suddenly, Franca walked to the desk and opened a drawer.

There was a pile of gold coins of different denominations in the drawer, including a gold Louis worth 20 fils.

Franka fiddled with the gold coins for a while and picked up a dark gold coin that was not shiny enough.

This is also a gold coin, but not any of the current legal tender.

Franca brought the dark gold coin close to her eyes and found that there was the outline of a man's head on the front, with long hair, a crown on his head, hard lips, and sharp facial lines.

On both sides of the man's head are stacked doors and a crow with one eye larger than the other. Surrounding it are patterns of changing lines, vertical swords and outstretched hands.

Hmm...Franca had a vague guess.

She turned the coin over to the back, where there was a number "7".

The number "7" is surrounded by patterns such as gathered soldiers, sharp weapons, and flowing blood.

"Is this a Tudor gold coin?" Franca asked.

Her spiritual intuition told her so.

The Tudor Dynasty of the Fourth Epoch issued its own currency. But perhaps because of the mental problems of the "Blood Emperor" or the influence of the original channel, the currency value and conversion were very difficult to calculate. It was not 1, 5, 10, 20 as normal, but 2, 7, 13 with no regular pattern.

These coins have long been lost over the past one or two thousand years. They were either melted down to make new gold coins or gold objects, or buried deep underground in ancient tombs. If you want to see them now, you can only go to museums or the treasure houses of certain collectors.

"How come there is a Tudor gold coin?" Janna looked over.

"I'm also confused. This thing is useless. Are you planning to sell it as an antique?" Franca pondered for a few seconds and said, "I'll ask when I communicate with the psychic."

As the two witches searched the apartment carefully, Lumian suddenly said to Anthony:

"You can pick up the revolver now."

He intuitively believed that the power of the gift "Winter is Coming" had reached its limit and would break down if it continued.

Of course, no matter how broken it is, it is still a weapon with extraordinary power, but the negative effects may change to an unbearable level.

Anthony, who had quietly given himself a "comfort", squatted down and picked up the "Winter is Coming" revolver, which was like a work of art, from the incomplete and bloody corpse.

"The effects of 'Guaranteed Death' and 'Guaranteed Hit' have been increased to nine times...

"Even if this revolver is broken into pieces, it can be put together and reassembled...

"Nothing else has changed..."

Lumian used the "magic mirror divination" method to tell Anthony the current situation of "Winter is Coming".

Anthony also received a "traveler's bag" as a bonus for the dream mission. He heaved a sigh of relief and put the revolver in it.

Just then, he and Lumian heard a loud, long "burp".

This comes from Ludwig.

Ludwig seemed full after eating only half of the corpse.

He stayed there, feeling as if there was a gas in his stomach, sometimes propping up his abdomen, sometimes making a crackling sound in his chest.

Countless insects were wriggling beneath the skin of his face, causing bumps one after another.

At this moment, Lumian and the others truly felt that some kind of horrible beast was about to tear open Ludwig's outer skin and get out.

Ludwig's body sometimes grew taller, causing cracks to appear on his skin, and sometimes expanded, almost tearing his clothes.

After more than ten or twenty seconds, his condition finally stabilized, and he was still the same little boy of seven or eight years old.

The seal of the Church of Knowledge is of guaranteed quality... Lumian sighed in his heart.

Ludwig glanced at him, his eyes full of bloodshot and desire:

"I want to go to the sea, I want to eat!"

Lumian nodded, grabbed Ludwig's shoulders, and disappeared into the room.

Somewhere in the foggy sea.

Lumian's figure appeared in mid-air, throwing Ludwig into the blue sea.

Ludwig didn't mind at all and opened his mouth while still in mid-air.

The mouth opened wider and wider, until the whole head and body seemed to become part of the mouth, and the sharp teeth reflected the bright sunlight.

With a splash, Ludwig fell into the sea.

Then, the sea water there sank, and a whirlpool appeared inexplicably.

The whirlpool gradually expanded, and the surrounding fish rushed over involuntarily and swam towards the bottom of the whirlpool.

There are tens of thousands of these marine creatures, in an endless stream.

With a loud splash, the appearance of a huge whirlpool brought about changes in this sea area. The water flow around it began to become turbulent, and huge waves were set off in the distance.

A steamship of considerable tonnage passed by the edge of the sea, but it still looked tiny under the surging waves.

The passengers on the ship were frightened by the scene not far away and they hid everywhere. The captain ordered the crew to change the course immediately.

Crash! A huge wave hit us.

But before the huge wave really approached, it suddenly froze in mid-air.

It disintegrated rapidly, and each fragment looked like a snowflake or ice crystal, reflecting the sunlight, beautifully.

Inside the apartment in Satipo.

After completing the preliminary search, Franka used the "magic mirror psychic technique".

She looked at the figure of Satipo in the mirror and directly showed the Tudor gold coin:

"Where did this come from?"

Because Satipo had been "parasitized" by Mr. Fool and the corresponding beliefs had been "grafted", she no longer had to worry about the contamination of the demigod "Tongling".

Satipo's face was pale and his expression was dull as he answered:

“A gift from God.”

God's gift... Wait, where did your God get the Tudor gold coins? They are all inside the barrier... Franka asked:
"By what means was it bestowed?"

Satipo replied at a moderate pace:
"First, the great 'God of Disease' gave us a revelation and told us to wait in front of the mirror. Then, the gold coin fell out of the mirror."

Look, look, does this look like a gift from the "God of Disease"? If you say it's a gift from the "Original Witch", I'll believe it... From what I can see so far, the "God of Disease" doesn't have any authority over the mirror world... Franka asked again:
"Besides you, who else has it?"

"Mocosidos," replied Satipo.

I didn't find it at that time... Well, Mocosidos used the power of decay to decompose himself into pathogens, and everything on his body should have rotted and decomposed at that time... Franka asked several questions in succession but failed to get any useful answers.

Satipo didn't know what the "God of Sickness" wanted to do, but was asked to stay in Trier and wait patiently.

At this time, Lumian came back with Ludwig, who was soaking wet.

"We've eaten more than ten or twenty tons of fish and shrimp. We can't afford to keep them fed. We can't afford to keep them fed." Lumian said, "tsk tsk."

As soon as it became a "sea monster", its appetite changed orders of magnitude!

Franca sighed a few words, then told Lumian the result of the communication, and finally said:
"Since it was not given by the 'God of Disease' himself, then you can divine where this Tudor gold coin came from."

Lumian nodded and took the gold coin.

He was very cautious when it came to matters involving great beings. To avoid danger, he specifically prayed for Mr. Fool’s attention and help, and then began to use the “magic mirror divination” to inquire about his own spirituality:
"Who was the previous owner of this gold coin...

"Who was the previous owner of this gold coin..."

Soon, water shimmered on the surface of the mirror and it became dark and deep.

The next second, Lumian saw a pair of eyes, eyes so dark that there was no light at all.

This... Lumian blurted out and called out a name in a deep voice:
"Zarathustra!"
