Ring of Fate

Chapter 730 Arrival
As Franca arranged the ceremony, she thought to Lumian:
"Mirror coordinates cannot be described in words. They can only be obtained through mystical giving. The 'magic mirror spiritualism' cannot do this. I plan to communicate normally."

Although the "magic mirror spiritualism" she created greatly increased the duration of spiritual communication and the number of questions answered by the target soul, it was also limited by the medium of the mirror and lost the possibility of other interactions.

"If we use normal psychic communication, the questions we can ask are very limited..." Lumian pondered for a few seconds and said, "The first question is to ask him to give us the coordinates of the mirror of the 'Overseer'. The second question is to ask where the classical silver mirror used for rituals to communicate with their leader is. The third question is who are the 'people in the mirror' who are in contact with him, where are they, and what their real identities are. Answer them in order of importance."

After answering the third question, the "spiritual communication" ceremony should naturally end. Lumian even suspected that Moran Avini could not "introduce" all the "people in the mirror" on his line, so he asked to sort them according to their importance, starting with the "people in the mirror" who currently have the most important position or are responsible for the most important matters.

"Classical silver mirror?" Franca asked doubtfully.

"Yes, Moran Avini has a mirror similar to the classical silver mirror you once had. It is the key prop to communicate with Roselle in the mirror." Lumian answered simply.

As he spoke, he squatted down and searched Moran Avni's pockets and trouser pockets.

He discovered with regret that the Minister of Industry had only a few large-denomination banknotes and some change on him, totaling 3212 Filkins.

In addition to cash, there are also gold pocket watches with great mechanical art beauty, beautifully embroidered handkerchiefs, and wallets from private designers and craftsmen.

None of them possess extraordinary powers!
Lumian couldn't help but imitate Franca and cursed in his heart:
"Poor guy!"

In fact, he could understand that as the current Minister of Industry, Moran Avini was under strict protection by official Extraordinary People and was unlikely to keep magical items, Extraordinary weapons and other things on him to avoid exposing his own abnormality.

——He is a Sequence 5 "Punishment Knight" of the "Judgment" path. If this fact is disclosed to the two major churches, it will be difficult to explain where the potion formula and Beyonder characteristics of this level come from. When signing the contract, he at most stated that he is a Beyonder of the corresponding path, without mentioning the specific sequence. After that, he will lose the opportunity to obtain items openly and can only obtain them through "brokers", which cannot be known by official Beyonders.

For Moran Avni, he actually doesn't need to ask the "supervisor" to help do a "backroom operation" to create an opportunity to openly contact and obtain magical items, because the "man in the mirror" can transmit things through the mirror. When he really needs to use a certain item to achieve a certain purpose, he can contact the corresponding companions and ask them to "send" the things over, and return them immediately after use.

Lumian sighed, put away the banknotes, pocket watch and other items, and stood up.

As he watched Franca complete the spiritual communication, he said to Janna who continued writing the letter:

"You fired the gun very decisively just now, don't you have any psychological burden?

"This is not a battle. We have been communicating with Moran Avni for a long time. I feel like we have become friends."

Janna glanced at Lumian and chuckled as she wrote a letter on the protruding stone on the rock wall in front of her:
"Are you worried that I'll suppress my psychological discomfort and cause problems, so you want to work as a part-time psychologist to give me some guidance?"

Anthony Reed, who had been listening quietly and playing the role of "audience" perfectly, touched his nose slightly embarrassedly.

This seems to be his job.

But he could see that neither Janna nor Franca needed counseling.

Lumian did not directly answer Jenna's question, but smiled and said:
"You haven't killed many people."

"If we hadn't shot just now, would you have done it? Although you seem to have become friends with Moran Avni, I believe you would have blown his head off without hesitation." Janna asked with a smile.

Lumian chuckled:
"I'm different. I've killed so many people."

Janna glanced at him again:
"Molan Avni has described his crimes. He dragged the real Moran Avni into the mirror, imprisoned him for a period of time, and then brutally killed him. I don't feel any psychological pressure to execute the criminal."

"You've changed..." Lumian pretended to sigh and joked, "In the past, you were used to relying on the police and official power to punish bad guys."

Janna didn't respond to him because Franca had completed the channeling.

As the dark green candlelight flickered, Moran Avni's spirit appeared above his body and was seen by everyone who had turned on their "spiritual vision".

Franka wasted no time. While taking off the glass-like "mirror buckle" from her cuff, she said to Moran Avini's spirit:
"Tell me the mirror coordinates of that 'Overseer'."

Moran Avni's blurry and sinister face suddenly twisted.

But he had lost his life and was no longer subject to strong self-restraints. Soon he was unable to resist the effect of the psychic communication. He stretched out his right hand, motioning for Franka to give him the "mirror buckle".

Franka, who was well prepared, immediately handed over the "mirror buckle".

Moran Avni's spirit grasped the cufflinks, and a dark light flashed on his body, gathering on the surface of the glass-like button and penetrating into it.

After getting the "mirror buckle" back, Franka breathed a sigh of relief.

The most important thing has been done, and what follows are all extra benefits!
Franca's spirit became active, and she asked Moran Avni with great interest:
"Do you have a silver antique mirror that I could use to, wait a minute..."

She suddenly realized that this could also be considered a question, so she quickly changed the way she asked:
"Where is the ancient silver mirror that helped the 'Overseer' communicate with your leader?"

Lumian had just confirmed that it was not on Moran Avini's body.

Moran Avni's spirit replied coldly and stiffly:
"At Griffith's place, when I need to use it, I'll ask him to give it to me through the mirror."

Franka was delighted at first, but then she cursed out loud in frustration:

"grass!"

She realized that she couldn't get Moran Avni to give her the coordinates of Griffith's mirror.

There was only one last question left for the psychic communication. She had to first ask who those "people in the mirror" that Moran Avni was responsible for contacting were and what their real identities were. There was no way to add the requirement of giving the coordinates of the mirror!
Lumian and Anthony both understood instantly why Franca blamed herself, but there was nothing they could do about it. Some questions depended on the previous answers, and providing the mirror coordinates could not be accomplished through "Magic Mirror Telepathy".

After calming down, Franca looked at Moran Avini's spirit and organized her words:
"Who are the 'people in the mirror' that you are in contact with, and what are they actually doing? Let's start with the most important aspects, namely status and responsibility."

Moran Avni's already pale and blurry face became distorted once again. He struggled but replied in a rather dull manner:

"There is Griffith. He is my deputy. His original body was a core member of the 'Moss Ascetic Order'. He is using our help to gradually improve his position within the 'Moss Ascetic Order'. I hope that one day in the future this secret organization will join the alliance that opens the seal of Trier in the Fourth Epoch..."

"Moss Ascetic Order"... Isn't this the secret organization that fights against the "Elemental Dawn" of the Emperor's eldest daughter Bernadette? I remember that they are mainly composed of Beyonders of the "Secret Peer" path... I don't know if there are people from the "Moss Ascetic Order" or "Elemental Dawn" in the research institute. There should be people like me who belong to more than one secret organization... Franka listened carefully and attentively, without interrupting Moran Avini's story.

Moran Aveni mentions a second "man in the mirror":
"Caratanza Tamara, a member of our branch of the Tamara family, joined the army and is currently a colonel. He used the killing of a spy from the Kingdom of Loen to obtain the formula and properties of the magic potion of the 'Judgment' path as a cover, allowing his extraordinary abilities to appear on the stage openly...

"Palia, her original identity was an ore scholar, and she has now joined the Trier Cave Association to cover up her efforts to find the weak spot in the seal...

"Sbot, the deputy chief of the Trier Police Department and the police commissioner. His original body was contaminated during a mission. He was then ambushed by Griffith and Caratanza and dragged into the mirror in exchange for the mirror's Sbot to come out and take his place..."

At this point, Moran Avni's spirit became increasingly ethereal and could dissipate at any time.

At this time, Janna finished writing the letter and turned her head to Lumian and said:

"I will summon Lady Judgment's messenger now."

As soon as she finished speaking, a distant voice rang in the ears of her, Lumian and the others:

"No need to summon."

Lumian, Franca, Janna and Anthony all had a premonition at the same time and cast their eyes towards the side of the quarry hole.

In the dim environment where only the light of calcium carbide lamps and candles existed, bright starlight condensed in the void and quickly outlined a dreamy double door.

Silently, the door opened and a huge pumpkin carriage pulled by many gray mice drove out.

There were three ladies sitting in the carriage, one was the "Magician", she was wearing an off-white vertical collar dress with gold embroidery, and the other was the "Judgement", she had shoulder-length yellow hair and was wearing a gray-white knight costume with brown leather armor.

There was also a lady wearing a purple robe with mysterious patterns, an astronomical globe and other items hanging around her waist, and a pair of very elegant glasses on her nose.

In her left hand, she held a strange lamp that was covered with mysterious patterns, had a golden surface, and looked like a kettle.
