Ring of Fate

Chapter 697 A "Transaction"

The "Dream Festival" ended early? Lumian stood up suddenly and found that he was holding the strange golden mask obtained from "Sisoka".

For a moment, he didn't know whether he was still in the dream or the mask had come into reality from the dream.

Lumian turned around and looked behind him.

Reyaza and Maislo, who had died in the "Dream Festival", were lying in the middle of the street and had just woken up.

While they were recalling their experiences and slowly standing up, Lumian focused his attention and stared at their fortunes.

He saw that both of them had obvious signs of death, and their fate would change drastically in the next short period of time, and would be irreversibly stained with deep black.

In comparison, the change in Reysa's fortune was more rapid and drastic, just like a river encountering a cliff, suddenly pouring down and forming a waterfall.

At this moment, Reysa recalled what happened during the "Dream Festival", and an uncontrollable fear emerged on his bloodless and cold face.

Bang, bang, bang. Huge tumors covered with disgusting mucus burst out from his body one after another, and the appearance began to overlap with what Lumian saw in his dream.

Seeing that Reysa's eyes were quickly turning crazy, and although his body was disintegrating, he was still spreading dangerous thoughts around. Lumian raised his empty right hand, made a gun shape, and pointed it at Reysa's mouth in the air.

A bullet of extremely compressed white flames flew out from Lumian's fingertips, shattered Reysa's teeth, and crashed into his mouth.

Boom!

Reysa's head cracked into pieces, and bursts of burning flames emerged.

The deputy captain of the Paros Port patrol team collapsed with a bang, covered by a thin black formal suit with a lot of wet tumors, partly outside.

Lumian turned to look at Maslo, who was both shocked by the change in Reyaza and terrified by his own death in his dream, and asked calmly:

"Who on earth is he working for?"

As he spoke, Lumian stuffed the golden mask into the "Traveler's Bag" and checked to see if the "Song of Hate" and other items were still there.

They are all there, including the food for Ludwig.

Maslo hesitated for a few seconds and said:
"We are all members of the 'Spiritual Cult'."

People from the Spiritual Cult... Lumian laughed.
"You still believe in the 'God of Death'?"

Isn’t the “Grim Reaper” dead?

Maslow thought for a moment and said:

"Reyaza told me that the God of Death is about to return, and there have been signs of answering prayers recently."

Hearing Masiluo's words, Lumian nodded thoughtfully:

"Which faction of the 'Spiritual Cult' are you from?"

As far as he knew, there were many factions in the "Spirit Cult". There was the Royal Faction, which was centered around the descendants of the Eggers family and tried to restore the rule of the Balam Empire, the Artificial Death God Faction, which wanted to create a new "Death God", and the weaker Sleep Faction and Underworld Faction.

"We were sent by the royal family." Maslo did not hide it.

"Did you deliberately sneak into the patrol team?" Lumian asked casually.

Maslow shook his head:
"No, General Queralil has been working with us secretly."

General Queralil, the actual ruler of Matanibong, also has close ties with the royal faction of the "Spiritual Cult"... Add to that the "Mother Earth Goddess" Church and the remnants of Intis, isn't this what Franka said about dancing on three eggs? From this point of view, Reyaza is not a traitor... No wonder General Queralil didn't send other people to support him. It's useless for him to send more people to solve the problem that the "Spiritual Cult" and the "Fool" Church can't solve... Lumian asked with enlightenment:
"Is participating in this 'Dream Festival' a task assigned to you directly by the higher-ups of the royal family?"

"Yes." Maislo glanced at Reyaza, who was no longer recognizable as a human being, and said, "It is said that the order was given by the Queen herself."

The Queen... the Pale Queen from the Royal Faction of the Spiritual Cult? Lumian looked around instinctively.

He suddenly had an idea and drew out the straight sword he bought from Santa Port, picked up Reasa's clothes, and quickly checked what items the other party had left behind.

There was no golden mask corroded by death, nor was there a skull made of crystal.

Although the latter turned into a goat in the dream, and the golden mask sank into the River of Death with it, Lumian felt that it was just a dream after all, no matter how special it was. When people die, reality will die, but objects may not. Just like some of the food eaten by Ludwig, hasn’t it returned to the "Traveler's Bag" now?
Even if they are going to disappear, they will come back one by one later, and will definitely return to the real world now!

But Reasa didn't have it.

Lumian suddenly felt a chill in his heart, and he lowered his voice and asked:

"Thermiporos, do you sense anything?"

Thermiporos's majestic and layered voice echoed in Lumian's ears:
"Are you afraid now?"

“Tsk.” Lumian was a little scared, but he didn’t reveal it. “Was the Pale Queen watching just now?”

Thermipoulos replied in a deep voice:

"Not only Him."

He? The Pale Queen is an angel? Lumien calmed down and turned his gaze back to Maslo.

Maslo was wondering why Louis Berry was mumbling to himself when he suddenly heard him ask:
"Why did Reyatha want to kill you?"

Maslo remained silent and did not answer.

Lumian laughed and said:

"You betrayed him?"

Masiluo's lips moved a few times, but he didn't open them.

Lumian smiled nonchalantly and said:

"It doesn't matter. You don't have to answer if you don't want to. You won't live much longer anyway."

Masiluo's expression turned pale instantly as he thought about what would happen to him in reality if he died in the "Dream Festival".

Lumian nodded slightly and said:

"Hurry up and do what you want to do. Don't do bad things, or you will die early."

After saying this, Lumian glanced at the corpse of Reysa, which was beginning to emanate extraordinary characteristics. Greedy desire surged up in him, but was suppressed by the endurance of the "ascetic monk".

He felt that regardless of whether Reyaza was a traitor or not, his extraordinary characteristics should be left to Camus and the patrol team of Matanibong.

In order to prevent himself from being controlled by greedy desires, and remembering something very serious, Lumian's expression changed slightly. He directly activated the black mark on his right shoulder and "teleported" away from here.

Masiluo looked at the empty streets again and the lights awakened by the explosion just now. As if he had lost his soul, he turned and walked towards the jungle outside Tizamo Town with a confused and lost expression.

…………

Briu Hotel, in the suite on the second floor.

As soon as Lugano woke up, he felt that his right forearm had lost feeling and could not be controlled.

"It's okay, it's okay. I just need one or two psychological treatments. The people in Tizamo Town can solve the problem by relying on masses without supernatural effects..." Lugano endured the waves of pain in his right forearm and comforted himself.

Just then, he heard the sound of hurried running in the living room outside the door.

Click!
The door of Lugano's bedroom was opened, and with the help of the crimson moonlight shining in from the window, he saw Ludwig appear there, wearing blue pajamas with yellow stars and a matching nightcap, holding a half-withered, blood-stained dark red heart in his hand.

thump! thump!
Lugano heard his own heartbeat and felt as if his soul was about to leave his body out of fear.

Ludwig woke up early and didn’t eat enough in his dream, so he came here for a snack?
The next second, Lugano saw a figure floating in the door.

The figure was translucent, wearing a complicated, gorgeous, yet gloomy black dress. There was no head on its neck, only a neat cut. In its hands were four bright-looking heads with blonde hair, red eyes, and they were exactly the same.

“Give”… “it”… “back”… “to me”…

The four heads uttered different words in the ancient Feysac language one after another, forming a sentence.

Their eight scarlet eyes reflected Ludwig's figure at the same time.

"Mine!" Ludwig ran to Lugano's bed, turned around, and made a gesture as if he was going to put the heart to his mouth, but he seemed a little hesitant.

The four heads held by the translucent figures said one by one:
"eat"... "myself"... "brain"... "of"... "idiot"...

“That”… “is”… “my”… “heart”…

"You"... "If"... "No"... "Yet"...

“I”… “will”… “turn”… “you”… “into”… “a pig”…

Almost at the same time, Lumian's figure quickly appeared beside Ludwig, saw this scene, and heard the corresponding words.

Lumian glanced at the strangely dressed lady, then looked at Ludwig, who looked determined and determined to defend the food, and said carefully:

"Ma'am, you can try to exchange it with other spiritual materials from him."

Ludwig was in this state now, and Lumian didn't dare to snatch the things from his hands.

The lady holding four blond, red-eyed heads and wearing complicated black dresses fell silent.

After a moment, one of her heads spat out a shiny gold coin and held it between her teeth.

Gold coins? Want to buy it with gold coins? Ludwig doesn't like money... Lumian was about to remind the lady opposite when he suddenly felt that the gold coin looked familiar.

It was a Loen gold coin, with a face value of 1 pound.

Uh…Lumian turned his gaze to Ludwig.

There was obvious hesitation on Ludwig's face.

After a few seconds, he finally stretched out his hands and handed the half-withered dark red heart to the front of the lady's head.

The bright head with blond hair, red eyes opened its mouth, letting the gold coin fall into Ludwig's hand, and then it quickly bit the half-withered dark red heart.

The translucent lady then took a step back and disappeared at the door of Lugano's bedroom.

Ludwig quickly stuffed the Loen gold coin into his mouth, as if he wanted to hide it in his stomach. Then he felt that something was wrong, so he quickly took it out, wiped it on his pajamas, and carefully put it into his pocket.

As expected, it was the same as Janna's lucky gold coin... both were Loen gold coins that were closely related to Mr. Fool? Lumian nodded in understanding.

He suddenly felt a little lost:
Two people around me got the lucky gold coin, why haven’t I got it yet?
