Ring of Fate

Chapter 1065 Mission (asking for monthly tickets at the beginning of the month)

After Lumian called out the corresponding name, the image reflected on the surface of the mirror shattered, as if someone had thrown a stone into the lake.

"Zarathustra? No, in the real world, he should be called Zarathustra." Franka also recognized the owner of the eyes just now.

Janna followed up with:

"The Lord's men are cooperating with the benefactor of the 'God of Disease'?
"What is the use of this Tudor gold coin?"

Lumian shook his head first, then said:

"Mocosidos only obtained the Sequence 3 Gift and possessed that hand after the Whirlpool Incident. I suspect that the cooperation between Tianzun's subordinates and the 'God of Sickness' Gifter was the aftermath of the Whirlpool Incident, or the result of a certain branch.

"Such a major event, involving so many great beings, cannot be ended simply by the word of the one who believes in the Aurora Society.

"This may be the reason why He changed His position and hopes to wake up Mr. Fool in the near future."

Franka and the others all nodded - Ludwig accepted Janna's care when Lumian was doing the "magic mirror divination", changed his wet clothes, and now he is a clean and refreshed little boy again.

"The function of the Tudor gold coin involves the planning of a great being, so it may be impossible to predict the result." Lumian thought and continued, "But we can predict the previous owner of this gold coin, and perhaps we can get some results."

He did as he said, and once again prayed for Mr. Fool's attention to eliminate certain dangers and corresponding interference.

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

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

"..."

Lumian held the dark golden coin and recited it several times.

The mirror placed in front of him suddenly became bright, as if there was a light bursting out from inside.

No, it was an invisible and colorless flame burning, and the entire mirror was burning.

A thin gray mist descended, and the flames failed to spread, but quickly turned the mirror and desk into ashes.

Seeing this scene, Franka's first two thoughts were:

"It was indeed very dangerous. Fortunately, we were careful enough, and fortunately Mr. Fool is tall and strong!"

"I was so scared. Fortunately, I put away all the gold coins in the drawer in advance..."

When the invisible and colorless flames died down, Lumian, acting as the agent of "0-01", smiled in a deep voice:
"I know where this Tudor gold coin came from:
"That Trier from the Fourth Epoch!"

Everyone present, except Ludwig, had been to Trier in the Quaternary Period, and they all had certain associations after hearing this.

"The purpose of the cooperation between the God of Disease Benefactor and Tianzun's subordinates is to point to Trier in the Fourth Epoch?" Franka said thoughtfully, "Will this Tudor gold coin serve as a medium and play a certain role at that time?"

Lumian nodded and put the Tudor gold coin into the "traveler's bag":

"What we have to do next is to look for clues to Zaratul's whereabouts and dig out more of Tianzun's men and members of the 'End of All Things Society'."

Then he said to Anthony:
"We don't know how long we have to wait from Madam Justice. We can first ask the Manipulator for the potion formula and try to collect and prepare the materials ourselves. If we encounter any difficulties, we can ask them for help."

"Manipulator" is the name of the potion in Sequence 4 of the "Audience" pathway, and is also Anthony's next sequence.

"I have no objection." Anthony also felt that he could not put all his hopes on Ms. Justice finding the ancient dragon.

Lumian looked at Janna again:
"Julian will be back in two days. Have you thought of a solution?"

Janna was silent for a few seconds and said:
"I will spend money and use 'instruction' to help him create a well-paid position in a big city like Port Leuser, Suchit or Newell, which will be valid for three years.

"Then……"

Janna paused and said:
"If Julian refuses to listen to my advice and insists on not leaving, I would like to ask Anthony to help me 'convince' him and perform a certain degree of hypnosis."

"This..." Franca blurted out in surprise.

Isn't this the method that Janna is quite against and has always been unwilling to adopt?

She didn't want to use her extraordinary abilities to influence Julian and interfere with his personal choices!

Jenna laughed at herself:
"If this was a choice that would last Julian's whole life, I certainly wouldn't do it, but if it was only for three years, I think it's acceptable."

The smile on her face gradually disappeared, and she muttered to herself:
"Life always moves forward by constantly giving up some of our persistence...

"It's time to get rid of my mysophobia. The Witch is meant to carry pain and suffering. It doesn't matter whether I become cruel or cold. What matters is whether Julian is out of danger."

At this point, Janna laughed at herself again:

"Put the blame and guilt on divinity. Consider it the price I paid for obtaining divinity."

“No, someone will bear the blame for all of this.” Lumian responded in a teasing tone.

Then he nodded:

"This is the best way to deal with it. It's like moving. If there is still plenty of time and many days, then you can naturally pack and organize carefully, not abandoning anything, and not damaging anything. But if there are only a few minutes left before the room explodes and there is no way to stop it, then you can only take away the most important and core things, and let the rest, no matter how reluctant you are, destroy them."

As Franca, Janna, and Anthony listened, they suddenly felt that Lumian was actually talking about the confrontation between humanity and divinity, and what the Beyonders should do as their Sequences gradually improved.

Lumian was inspired by this as he thought of his previous conversation with Mr. Fool.

This is the only way to do it for something more important.

does it worth?
worth it.

"Yeah." Franca sighed, then turned to Jenna and said, "In fact, have you ever thought about teaching your brother mystic knowledge, collecting the corresponding potions for him, and making him a Beyonder? In this way, he will understand why he must leave Trier."

Janna shook her head slowly:
"No, I know him very well. He is a very stubborn person. When he finds out the real reason, if I don't leave, he won't leave either. And I..."

Having said that, Janna's eyes swept over Lumian and Franca.

Then, she thought for a moment and said:

“Hypnosis should still be used. This does not conflict with teaching Julian mystical knowledge and guiding him to become an extraordinary person.

"Well, even if it's only a low sequence, it can still improve his self-preservation ability, but we must not tell him that the end is near and that Trier will experience a major change within a year or two. This will make him anxious. He is a person who tends to go to extremes and go astray when he is anxious."

"Then we have to choose a good path for him. At least it can't be a path with obvious pitfalls like 'Demon', 'Prisoner', 'Earth', 'Moon', and 'Assassin'." Franka helped to think about it.

In the end, she still felt that as a witch, she might have a higher chance of being correct if she flipped a coin and chose the answer based on her spirituality.

…………

In the afternoon.

Because Jenna took the taller Ludwig to buy new clothes, Franca chose to accompany them shopping, and Anthony also went out to find his informant and contact members of the "Psychological Alchemist Society", so Lumian was the only one left in the huge villa.

He fell on the sofa, wondering whether he should contract a spiritual creature whose specialty was cleaning the room.

After a short break, Lumian thought about what he had to do recently and the tasks he was responsible for as the Chariot of the Major Arcana:

“One is to consolidate and deepen the faith of the sick cult followers in me and Franka.

"Secondly, I have to consider the Sequence 2 problem. I have the potion formula for the Disaster Witch, but as the Immortal Witch, I don't know how difficult it is to kill the Disaster Witches. Moreover, they are protected by the Original Witch, and Mr. Fool is only in the initial stage of awakening... The best choice is the Sequence 2 Weather Warlock of the Hunter Path. During the previous meeting before the God, Mr. Fool took out the Red Priest card, and I can exchange the potion formula from him.

"Apart from the Soran family and the Einhorn family, where else could the extraordinary characteristics of the Weather Warlock be found? Is it a Grade 0 sealed object in the church?
"If you have no other choice, you should not go to the treasure room of the Blue Avenger and face Alistair Tudor inside the mirror...

“Hehe, maybe I don’t have a choice…

"Among the tasks of the Tarot Club, I am not responsible for the 'Great Mother' now, but with my current condition, it is very difficult to avoid it... Now I just need to find the whereabouts of Zaratul and the members of the 'Society of the End of All Things'... The previous task is not easy. Mr. Fool, who is at the top of the 'Fortune Teller' path, has not locked onto Zaratul..." Thinking of this, Lumian suddenly felt something and cast his eyes to the edge of the living room.

His charred messenger, Bayinfer the Confessor, emerged with a letter in his hand.

Lumian stared at Bayinfer, whose eye sockets were burning with dark flames, for a few seconds before finally speaking:
"Give me the letter."

He immediately took the letter, unfolded it, and found that the content written on it was very simple:
"I would like to visit you this evening, is that okay?
"'The Hermit.'"

What's up, Ms. Hermit? My previous guess about the status of the Hidden Sage? Lumian nodded thoughtfully and said to Bayinfer:
"Please reply to the sender and tell her that it is OK."

Bayinfel nodded and disappeared at the edge of the living room.

In the evening, just as night fell, Lumian, Franca, Janna and others who had been waiting heard the doorbell ring.

Jingle, jingle, jingle.

"Ms. Hermit is so polite..." After getting used to the style of Ms. Magician appearing and disappearing suddenly, Lumian was a little uncomfortable with the current situation.

He went to open the door himself and found that it was indeed the "hermit" lady wearing thick glasses and a purple-patterned robe.

After they exchanged greetings, he led his colleague, the king of the sea, into the living room and asked her to sit on the armchair.

Lumian sat down next to Franca and Janna, and just after exchanging a few pleasantries, he heard Ms. Hermit say bluntly:

"I have something I want to ask you for help with."

"What is it?" Lumian asked thoughtfully.

The "hermit" looked up and did not answer immediately.

The next second, a thin gray mist filled the living room.

This...Lumian found that things were not as simple as he had imagined.

After Franka and the others sat up straight, the Hermit said in a low voice:

"Mr. Fool is preparing to hunt down the Hidden Sage."
