Ring of Fate

Chapter 720 Supervision?

"Why did it suddenly explode?" Lumian, holding a calcium carbide lamp, stared at the blood that was still slowly seeping into the deep soil, frowned and muttered to himself.

He did not ask those two questions in order to kill Jebus, he just wanted to test the boundaries step by step.

Anthony responded calmly:
“The core principle of hypnosis is that it cannot directly endanger the life of the target.

"In other words, when faced with questions that would substantially endanger his life, Jebus would either not answer or be stimulated by them and wake up, no longer under the influence of hypnosis."

"I've already made preparations for him to break free from hypnosis." Lumian said he had thought of this possibility.

At that distance, Jebus could not dodge the "Hengha Technique", and there were three ritual dog skins and one ritual cow skin in Lumian's "traveler's bag".

——After becoming an "ascetic monk", he was able to make the ritual furs needed for the "art of animal creation" by himself, so he added corresponding magical powers to those he had used before.

Janna thought about what happened just now and said thoughtfully:

"Jebuse was ready to answer...

"That is to say, he didn't think answering those two questions would endanger his life. Haha, the result didn't turn out the way he expected."

Franka nodded:
“Yes, if there was real danger, he could have simply not answered.

"I just thought he had signed a contract that if he revealed the location of the headquarters of the 'School of Truth' and the name of his direct 'supervisor', he would be attacked by his own shadow.

"MD, could it be that his 'supervisor' secretly tampered with the terms of the contract when it was signed? Therefore, Yebusi didn't know that answering those two questions would be dangerous. My God, isn't this too pitiful? Cheating the top and the middle, and the middle and the bottom, is this the 'swindler' approach or the 'broker' approach?"

After Franca finished her sigh, Lumian thought for a few seconds and uttered a word:
"supervisor."

"'Supervisor'?" Franka immediately understood what Lumian meant. "Supervising the situation of subordinates in a certain way is one of the abilities of the 'Supervisor'. But Jebus was not aware of this, and touched a taboo when answering the key question?"

As soon as she said this, Janna suddenly became alert:
"Could it be that the 'supervisor' has noticed this place and might come over at any time?"

"That's not the case. After discovering something was wrong with Jebus, I asked Franka to leave the statue of the 'Original Witch' here." Lumian said with a smile, "Even if our previous guess is correct, the 'Supervisor' should have only discovered that something was wrong with Jebus and could not locate the specific location. The problem now is that our subsequent action plan may have to be revised."

Janna and Anthony understood what Lumian meant:
They were not in any danger for the time being, so there was no need to worry about being tracked down by the "supervisor". However, since something had happened to Yebus, who was responsible for protecting Moran Avni behind the mirror, the "supervisor" would know that someone wanted to deal with Moran Avni, and would definitely make some countermeasures. The plans previously formulated might no longer be in line with the actual situation.

Franka sighed, looked at the white-bone statue on the ground, and said with deep emotion:

"When the 'Black Witch' gave me the idol, I resisted. Now, I want to ask, please give me a dozen!"

While she was joking with herself, she bent down to pick up the statue of the "Original Witch", wiped the surface carefully, and praised it a few words.

Lumian reflected on himself:

"I should have used the Eye of Disaster to monitor the changes in Jebus' fate. Maybe I could have stopped him in advance and prevented him from answering."

He didn't expect that there would be situations where he himself was not sure whether it would violate taboos - this did not involve faith itself, nor did it involve higher-level mystical knowledge. Jebus should know what to say and what not to say, otherwise he would have died eight hundred times in his daily life.

Franka recalled:

"The member of the 'School of Truth' that Janna and I met had a similar situation when he was answering the question 'which organization did they belong to and why did they use the missing janitor case'.

"From Jebus's answer just now, the answer 'School of Truth' should not be a taboo, and why the missing gatekeeper case was used, I think that a man who has not reached the level of 'ambitious person' cannot know.

"It seems that this is really the ability of the 'supervisor'. Therefore, taboos are dynamic. The environment, emotions, status and other factors jointly determine the bottom line of answering questions. It is not so rigid that the same rules must be followed in all circumstances. Hey, it really fits the concepts that Yebus himself talked about."

Lumian nodded slightly and said with a smile:

"At least we got the spoils in advance, otherwise it would have been a huge loss."

He thought for a moment and said:

"Franka, you will use the communication spell to find the 'Black Witch' and report everything to her about the fixed entrance to the mirror world we created earlier, what happened just now, and Jebus's answer. See how she reacts and what suggestions she will give.

"Well, she should be Tamara from the 'Apprentice' branch. She has a natural conflict with Moran Avni who split from the 'Judgment' branch."

After Franca agreed, Lumian turned to Janna:
"Go to the safe house first and write a letter to Ms. Judgment. The Judgment path is a path of order. I think the affairs of the people in the School of Truth should be reported to her immediately.

"I'll take you there."

"Okay." Janna was used to Lumian assigning tasks at times like this.

Lumian turned to look at Anthony:

"Come with me to wait for Moran Avni outside the Palace of Philanthropy and observe his condition to see if he shows any abnormality."

The Palace of Fraternity, located in the Boulevard district, is the presidential palace of the Republic of Intis, where Moran Avni attended the inter-ministerial meeting chaired by His Excellency the President today.

Anthony nodded slightly, indicating that there was no problem.

Observation is the strong point of "audience".

…………

Inside the quarry cave with a fixed entrance to the mirror world.

Franka, who had dark vision, leaned against the corner and took out a makeup mirror and a talisman that looked like it was made of gray-white rock.

Franka held the talisman, infused it with spirituality, and chanted the opening spell in Hermetic:
"Eye!"

The talisman made of gray-white rock ignited a black flame and was then pressed by Franka against the glass surface of the makeup mirror.

The mirror surface suddenly became empty and no longer felt solid.

The talisman wrapped in black flames penetrated in, fell straight down, and disappeared.

Not long after, Franka suddenly felt that there was something more around her.

Then she saw a large clump of black hair emerging from the makeup mirror.

The black hair fluttered, blocking Franca's vision.

Franka felt her palm weighed down first, then saw the black hair falling, and Clarisse appeared in front of her.

The black hair of this "Black Witch" was still neatly tied up, and the evil long black hair around it was gone.

Although it was not the first time she met Clarisse, Franca still admired her charm from the bottom of her heart.

She was a beauty who could lead people to depravity and ruin their souls with just her beauty.

Clarisse looked at Franca and asked in a soft and pleasant voice:
"Any results?"

Franca calmed herself down and thought that there might be leakage of pollution in underground Trier, so she carried the statue of the "Original Witch" and walked around the specific area. Finally, she successfully found the target location. She talked about how she used the statue, prayed to the Original, received a response, and established a fixed entrance to the mirror world.

Clarisse rarely showed an approving expression:
"You have a keen intuition and good intelligence, and you actually thought of this possibility and successfully seized it.

"Maybe one day, you can become a witch named after a color."

"Yellow Witch"? Franka said to herself.

She then went on to talk about her plan with Lumian and the others, hiding the part about the "Tarot Club" and describing the "Mirror Mark" as the ability of a certain object.

Clarisse listened quietly without interrupting.

Franka told the story in one breath about how Lumian was attacked during his investigation, captured Jebus, and relied on the "audience" to obtain a lot of information.

The "Black Witch" nodded gently and said:

"Your lovers are all good, especially the 'Hunter'."

At this point, the "Black Witch" laughed softly:
"The taste of 'Hunter' is also very good. The higher the sequence, the braver it is."

This...Emperor, even high-ranking witches have read your secret history...Maybe every witch has a copy! Franka didn't know whether to laugh at Emperor Roselle or feel sorry for him.

"That's right." Franca agreed with a smile, trying not to show her guilt.

The Black Witch continued:
“But both you and he made mistakes.

"You should stop asking questions when you have reached a certain point. Ambush Moran Avni first, capture him, and then interrogate him further."

"Yes." Franka did not deny the criticism of the "Black Witch".

Looking back, the headquarters of the "School of Truth" and the name of the corresponding "supervisor" were not the information that was urgently needed. At that time, they could have turned Jebus into a dog and let Lugano and Ludwig watch him. They could have ambushed behind the mirror before the "supervisor" noticed anything unusual and waited for Moran Avni to "take the initiative" to come in. After that, they would have plenty of time to deal with the two prisoners.

However, this is also Lumian's style.

Franka had long discovered that Lumian was in the habit of asking for information right away and would not leave it for later without special reasons. It seemed that he was afraid that something unexpected would happen in the middle, resulting in the information that could have been obtained not being obtained in the end.

The "Black Witch" Clarisse said nothing more, and nodded:
"Wait for me here. I'll go investigate the situation. This may take some time."

"Yes, Ms. Clarisse." Franca did not hide her smile.

…………

In the boulevard area, outside the magnificent Palace of Fraternity.

Lumian and Anthony once again mixed in with the group of reporters.
