Ring of Fate

Chapter 704 Happy Franca (First update, please give me the guaranteed monthly ticket)

Memorial District, 9 Orosei Street, Apartment 702.

Franka, wearing a camel-colored cashmere coat, trembled as she spoke to Lumian:
"When I have money, I will definitely rent a villa with floor heating!"

Floor heating is a concept proposed by Emperor Roselle. By pre-laying metal water pipes in the house, boiled water can flow through, bringing a warm summer feeling to the enclosed environment and keeping the cold weather out.

This is an essential facility for high-end residences in Trier today.

"Why are you, a witch, afraid of the cold?" Lumian sneered.

His eyes then swept over Janna, and he found that she was wearing a black cotton dress and had dark makeup on, as if she was playing the role of a "witch" or "vampire" based on the details of her daily life.

"I'm not an arsonist. The witch's black fire has no temperature!" Franka retorted with a smile on her face.

Lumian sat down on the couch quite casually:
"Aren't witches good at playing with ice? Don't they have any resistance to frost and cold, er, what you call resistance?"

Franka lay down in her armchair, pulled up the thick cashmere blanket, and laughed:
"I admit that my performance just now was a bit exaggerated, but the winter in Trier is really a bit cold, mainly because it is too humid, just like soaking in a half-frozen lake."

After the greetings, Franka said with great emotion:
"I have obtained more information about Moran Avni and the corresponding security situation, so I can put the 'capture plan' on the agenda. And you, my friend, are about to participate in the 'Dream Festival', so everything is happening at the same time."

Lumian said with a normal expression:

"'Dream Festival' is over."

"Ah?" Franca and Janna were both a little stunned.

So fast?
Lumian recounted exactly what happened during the "Dream Festival", including the "Magician" lady's explanation afterwards.

Of course, since the name "Farbuti" cannot be pronounced in any language, Lumian refers to him by the Demon King, and replaces "Napolidisli" with "the devil with a long name".

After hearing Lumian put on a golden mask and saw a figure that looked like a man from the underworld, Franca's breathing became heavier, and the characteristics of the man from the underworld's clothing described by Lumian made her eyes shine, like the surface of a lake under the sun.

Fortunately, she had good self-control and was patient until Lumian finished telling the whole story before asking anxiously:

"Will there be a 'Dream Festival' next year?"

"You want to participate in next year's 'Dream Festival' and directly contact the underworld people?" Lumian could guess what Franka was thinking.

Franka nodded heavily:
"I think that if Amandine could be granted the power of the Path of Night by the Underworld Man, then it shouldn't be a problem for me, uh, a witch. I don't mind taking Him as my master!
"Don't worry. As long as I stay awake, I won't go wild in the Dream Festival."

She laughed at herself.

You originally meant fellow countryman instead of witch, right? Lumian laughed and said:

"It's not that you can't participate, but the prerequisite is that you become an angel."

"..." Franca closed her mouth.

Jana said thoughtfully:

"There's one thing I don't understand. Isn't it said that after gaining the ability to stay awake in a special dream, the corresponding dream projection will gradually dissipate? Why doesn't Hisoka's have that?"

Lumian had already thought about this question:
“Perhaps this is one of the reasons why ‘Siso’ had to leave Tizamo Town.

"The ability to stay awake in a special dream should not be permanent. Once you leave Tizamo Town, it will gradually fade away. Therefore, on the one hand, Hisoka has to leave Tizamo Town, and on the other hand, he has to go back two or three times a year, each time for at least a week, all in order to maintain the existence of that dream projection."

After discussing the Dream Festival for a while, Franka briefly talked about the information she got from 007 last night:

"The Moran Avni family has a very long history, with members in the military, politics, art, and business fields. Combined with the information given to us by Ms. Judgment, I suspect this is one of the branches of the Tamara family. Dark gray eyes are one of the bloodline characteristics of the Tamara family!

“Of course, not all people with dark grey eyes are from Tamara’s family, but members of Tamara’s family are more likely to have dark grey eyes.

"Given that a large branch of the Tamara family has a close relationship with the Witch Cult, it is very likely that the 'Black Witch' Clarisse also has the blood of the Tamara family.

"According to my speculation, the 'Black Witch' might be a hybrid of the branch of the Soran family that defected to the Witch Cult and the Tamara family."

Only in this way can we explain the reaction of "Black Witch" Clarisse when she heard about the things related to the Sauron family, and explain her doting on Browns Sauron!
Lumian did not interrupt Franca's statement and listened to her continue:

"We need to face not only Moran Avni, but also the Tamara family and the 'Man in the Mirror' forces hiding in the dark. Moran Avni himself might also have powerful extraordinary abilities. Moreover, the Eighth Bureau, the 'Purifier' and the 'Mechanical Heart' rotate every day, and there is a fixed team of extraordinary people to provide him with protection.

"My friend meant that if you are not afraid of sacrifice, there is still hope of assassinating Moran Avni, but it is very difficult and dangerous to capture him alive or communicate with his spirit."

What 007 really wanted to express was that the Purifiers would not let Moran Avni off the hook or provide assistance, but if the true nature of the Man in the Mirror was exposed after Moran Avni was killed, would he be able to let the captured assassin find a chance to escape, just like when Janna killed Hugues Artois? But if we don't want to get more information about the Man in the Mirror from Moran Avni, wouldn't it be better to just tell the authorities everything and let them arrest him? Lumian thought for a moment and said to Franca:
"Don't rush to think of a plan, wait until tomorrow."

"Why wait until tomorrow?" Franka asked, holding the stack of papers given by "007".

Lumian laughed.
"I will first find a safe place to complete my promotion and become a 'Life Hunter'. By then, maybe some special, mixed, destiny-related abilities will appear. That may help us get new ideas and come up with more effective plans."

In the current four-man team, it is no secret that Lumian possesses the power of the "Fate" path.

Franka blurted out in astonishment:
"Can I get a new gift so soon?"

“Didn’t I just say that?” Lumian said with a smile, “I killed nearly twenty Sequence 6 and Sequence 5 Benefactors in one go, and the potion was digested significantly.”

Franca pursed her lips and told Lumian with her eyes:
Look, look at my eyes! They are full of jealousy!
Lumian turned and asked Anthony:

"What's with the real identity you just mentioned?"

Anthony, who had been listening so quietly that people almost forgot his existence, simply explained:

"Actually, it was Ms. Justice who gave me the tip. That identity is very strange. His background, education, and experience are all real, but in fact, there is no such person. The people who could have exposed this have either died a long time ago or have gone to other places and will not return for a few years."

"It seems that it was raised many years in advance and used as a disguise." Franka made a judgment based on her own experience.

Because the plan to deal with Moran Avni was not discussed today, Anthony left after not staying for long. He had to make some preparations for the evening banquet.

"Where do you plan to go to become a Life Hunter?" Janna asked Lumian, "The sacrificial square in the catacombs?"

There are two righteous gods there, who can protect those who are promoted from extra interference.

"I'm afraid I'll violate a taboo and be purified by the sunlight." Lumian rejected the suggestion with a smile, "Promoting to 'Conspirator' is different from promoting to 'Life Hunter'."

That one is in the path of God, and the other is in the realm of evil gods!
Lumian actually already decided where to get promoted.

That is the "Kingdom of Night"!
Thermiporos's obedience made Lumian worry that he was waiting for an opportunity to make a big move, and since the "Life Hunter" began to involve the core capabilities of the "destiny" field, Thermiporos was likely to do something in this sequence.

Therefore, Lumian was cautious and prepared to be promoted in a place that was safe enough and could exclude many external influences.

Among them, the "Kingdom of Night" is the best choice. Moreover, Lumian had planned to contact "Hela" in the next two days to share the matters of the Underworld People and the "Dream Festival".

Franka looked at Lumian with understanding:

"Do you want to go to our mysticism gathering place to get promoted?"

“Yes.” Lumian nodded slightly.

"I'll help you write the letter!" Franca, who was in a very good mood, offered to help.

When she entered the bedroom and closed the door, Lumian looked at Janna and said:

"You're very quiet today."

"A good drama actor must know how to play a lady." Janna smiled.

Lumian glanced at Franca's door:
"Ms. Red Boots is very happy today, making jokes from time to time."

"She is indeed in a good mood recently." Janna answered truthfully.

Lumian nodded thoughtfully and didn't ask any more questions.

Jane raised the corners of her mouth and said with a smile:

"Why don't you continue asking?"

Lumian leaned back on the sofa and said with a self-deprecating smile:

"My sister once taught me that there is no need to ask too many questions about certain things. If you know too much, you may regret it, or even have to face some problems that you don't want to face."

Jane listened carefully, raised her hand to support her cheek, chuckled and asked:
"What are you afraid of?"

Lumian took a sip of red tea strategically and said:
“It’s not fear, it’s respect.”

Janna stared at him and suddenly laughed.

She didn't ask any more questions and chatted with Lumian about the details of what happened in Tizamo Town.

Not long after, Franca opened the door and shouted with a smile:

"That's it tonight!"

…………

At ten o'clock in the evening, in the "Kingdom of Night", in the ancient and dilapidated palace.

The figures of Lumian and Franka quickly appeared, and "Hela" had been waiting here for a long time.
