Ring of Fate

Chapter 1075 Distribution
Amidst the indescribable chewing sounds, The Fool raised his head and cast his gaze upwards, towards the blood-red moon that illuminated every place.

The huge full moon gradually returned to normal, and its light gradually faded, until only crimson remained.

At this moment, the originally dim mobile phone screen lit up again, and a lot of unreal and complex information emerged, interweaving into special symbols with strange structures.

This symbol was projected and carried into the real world by the power of the "Information Crushing Box" hidden in the mobile phone by the "God of Steam and Machinery", quickly scanning every continent, every island, and every ocean.

The backup information hidden by the "Hidden Sage" was found one by one, destroying the overall structure and quickly disappearing.

When the special symbol fell back onto the phone screen, the “Hidden Sage” sent out his final message.

It was a scream.

…………

On the "Blue Avenger" sailing back in the gray fog.

"Professor", "Periodic Table" and "Prototype" were all stunned at the same time.

They looked at each other, and finally the "Professor" asked the "Hidden Blade" Franka and the Captain:
"Did you hear a howl or a scream?"

"No." Franca shook her head.

The Hanged Man then said:

"I didn't hear it either."

"We all heard it." Professor frowned under his butterfly mask, "but it was very blurry, as if it was very far away."

"Yes." "Periodic Table" and "Prototype" said they also heard similar sounds.

Franka thought for a moment and said:
"Don't worry about it. It's normal to hear strange noises in this area of ​​the sea. Just ignore them and don't take them seriously."

At this point, Franca laughed:

"On the bright side, maybe it was the scream of the Hidden Sage before his death?"

Uh... "Professor" and others looked at each other.

Mr. Hanged Man showed a thoughtful expression, and after a few seconds he said:

"Perhaps that is true."

This...Franca was also stunned.

So fast?
…………

The wails of the "Hidden Sage" reached the ears of every wizard, and shocked several "Ten Pillars" of the "Moss Ascetic Order" who were not in the "Utopia".

They either used this to make predictions, or used their spiritual intuition to discover that something was wrong, and then quickly moved to another location and hid themselves.

The "dragon scholar" Letitia in the "Utopia" and Sidious and Ohaiz who were in charge of the "0" level seals were also affected, quickly fell into a disadvantage, and were defeated one after another.

The completely destroyed unknown land turned into a rapidly shrinking dark vortex. The Fool held Lumian's "Traveler's Bag" in his hand and watched the mobile phone floating in the air continuously spewing out various light fragments.

As the spray continued, the phone began to swell up, and it seemed as if the screen was about to burst due to something.

boom!
It really exploded, and an eyelashless, indifferent, illusory eye was thrown out and fell into the palm of the Fool.

The mobile phone parts flying to different locations were stained with a light crimson color, wriggling as if to produce new parts.

They were blocked by the suddenly darkening void and shrank inwards. Soon they were concentrated in the illusory sphere and disappeared along with the sphere.

The Fool also disappeared along with the Beyonder Characteristics that had burst out before.

…………

Lumian seemed to have had a long, dreamless sleep, and his entire body became peaceful and calm wrapped in darkness.

After an unknown amount of time, he finally opened his eyes and found himself lying in a dark and empty area behind the mirror.

He stood up and walked out of the glass mirror, and his eyes saw the old dilapidated palace used by the "Curly-haired Baboon Research Society" for meetings.

Behind him was the huge stone chair, on which was placed the "sleeping" mirror he had made for himself. There were dark red lines on the surface of the mirror, as if it was engraved with blood.

This was a preparation made in advance. With the help of Ms. Hela, he placed the "sleeping" mirror in the Kingdom of Night to isolate it from possible contamination.

As for why they didn’t choose to place the Sleeping Mirror above the gray fog and next to Mr. Fool’s throne, it was because that would block not only the pollution, but also Lumian’s own resurrection.

Unless Mr. Fool himself or he responded in time above the gray fog, Lumian’s extraordinary characteristics could not be transferred to the side of his throne, and the consciousness and spirit in the “sleeping” mirror could not be restored.

Moreover, this kind of resurrection requires "passing through" the gray-white fog, and there is a high probability that it will be contaminated by other factors, because Mr. Fool is only awake at the beginning, not fully awake.

Lumian thought back to what had happened before and determined that the "Hidden Sage" had "autonomously" entered the effective range of the "Information Crushing Box".

He picked up the mirror that was on the huge stone chair and brought it to his face.

The head-sized mirror reflected a beautiful face with clear light blue eyes.

Lumian said to the mirror:

"The Hidden Sage is dead.

"All wizards no longer have to worry about being forced to indoctrinate with knowledge by Him."

The corners of the bright and beautiful face in the mirror curled up, revealing a relieved and brilliant smile.

After a few seconds, Lumian left the ancient and dilapidated palace and returned to the luxurious villa by reciting the corresponding "spell" as usual.

Janna, who was in charge of the cleanup, had just returned home and released Ludwig, who was hiding behind her mirror.

——This is to prevent Janna from having bad luck and running into a saint of the "Moss Ascetic Order" who holds a "0" level seal.

Ludwig licked his lips, looking a little unhappy.

There were so many delicious foods, but he didn’t get to eat them!
"Are you okay?" Franca, who had already returned, asked her two companions with concern.

Lumian laughed.
"It doesn't matter if I'm busy or not. What matters is that the Hidden Sage must be busy."

Jane said:
"Ms. Magician said that the spoils will be distributed among Mr. Fool."

She then asked somewhat uneasily:

"But Ms. Magician didn't take any of these from me."

This was the result of her cleaning out the fallen wizards.

"I'll ask Mr. Fool for you." Lumian asked, "Have all the wizards in Utopia been cleared out?"

Janna shook her head.
"I have cleared out those who have fallen and turned evil. As for those who are still in the silent period and do not know the dark side of the Utopia, I have handed them over to Ms. Hermit. She said she would select a group of them and send them to the Church of Fools for reformation. The rest will stay on the ship and she will be responsible for their transformation."

"Has the dark side of Utopia discovered any secrets?" Lumian, in a good mood, asked curiously.

"I don't know." As Janna shook her head, Lumian was suddenly stunned.

Then, he said to Franca and Janna:

"Mr. Fool has called an impromptu gathering."

…………

Above the gray fog, inside the majestic palace.

Several figures appeared on both sides of the ancient bronze table, slightly blurry.

These are the Major Arcana cards involved in the hunt for the Hidden Sage.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool~" Ms. Justice stood up and saluted first.

It seemed that because of the death of the "Hidden Sage", many wizards were saved, and her tone became lighter and more lively.

After all the Major Arcana cards had paid their respects and sat down again, Mr. Fool, who was at the top, tapped the edge of the bronze table with his fingers:
"'Dragon Scholar' Letitia was killed, but not completely dead. One of the spells she created using 'Mysterious Reappearance' was related to resurrection and concealment.

"But it doesn't matter. Our main goal has been achieved."

Hearing Mr. Fool announce the result, Lumian truly put his heart back in place.

The "Hidden Sage" is truly dead, and cannot be deader!

At this moment, he was in such a good mood that he wanted to dance with Franca or Janna.

The Fool looked at each participant and said in a low and slow voice:
"The uniqueness of the 'Hidden Sage' belongs to the 'God of Steam and Machinery', and the 'Knowledge Emperor' Beyonder characteristic that is common to Sequence 9 to Sequence 1 is given to Bernadette, which also includes the help she provided in the dream. The Church of Evernight wants the '0' level seal 'Destined Madness' and the Beyonder characteristic of Sidice that has been contaminated by this seal.

"In addition to these, they also took several '1' level seals. The rest are ours."

After listening to Mr. Fool’s story, Lumian, the Chariot, who had fought against the Level 0 Sealed Artifact, Destined Madness, suddenly had an idea and asked:
"Why did the Church of Night choose 'Destined Madness'?"

“It hides a secret that needs to be uncovered.” Mr. Fool answered Lumian’s question in a gentle voice.

He continued:

"Our main gains include the Sage Beyonder characteristic from Toriobo, two Level 0 Sealed Artifacts, Mask of Solomon and Book of Post-Apocalypse, and nine Level 1 Sealed Artifacts, including two related to Prophecy Master, three related to Mystic, one related to Manipulator, one related to Coffin Bearer, one related to Alchemist, and one related to Mystic Scholar. There are also some low- and medium-sequence Beyonder characteristics, and several Level 2 and 3 Sealed Artifacts."

Mr. Fool turned his gaze to Cattleya, the Hermit:
"This is a continuation of your mission and the result of your previous efforts. You choose first."

Cattleya the Hermit is not modest:
"Mr. Fool, I want the Sage Extraordinary Characteristics."

The Fool looked at Lumian again:

"Your role is very important. You are the key to the complete demise of the Hidden Sage. You are the second choice."

Lumian had already thought of the answer:
"Mr. Fool, I want the potion formula of Weather Warlock."

For him, it doesn't matter whether there is loot or not.

“This is a bonus.” Mr. Fool said calmly, “You can pick another Level 0 Sealed Item.”

Uh... since the gods have said so, Lumian is no longer polite and thought for a moment before saying:

"I choose 'Post-Apocalypse'."

He felt that, according to what Ms. Hermit had said before, the "Mask of Solomon" must correspond to the angel-level extraordinary characteristics of the "Black Emperor" path, and the "Black Emperor" path and the "Judgment" path were adjacent and could be jumped, and Ms. Judgment was a good friend of Ms. Magician.

"The 'Post-Apocalypse' is related to the 'Destiny' path." Mr. Fool said simply, and then turned to Ms. Magician and said, "The 'Mask of Solomon' is yours."

The "Magician" lady was stunned for a moment:
"What about you?"

You are the main force, but you don’t have any extraordinary characteristics at the angel level, and you don’t even have a “0” level seal?

Shrouded in gray mist, The Fool leaned back in his chair, his voice inexplicably adding a touch of joy and sentimentality to his usual gentleness:

“I don’t need it.

"The death of the Hidden Sage is what I want most."
