Ring of Fate

Chapter 731 Tracking
When they saw the strange golden lamp, Lumian, Franca, and Janna all had their eyelids twitched and came up with a bold guess:

Could that be “0-05” or “Wishing Lamp”?

Well, the pumpkin carriage is one of the symbols of the Major Arcana Lady "The Hermit", and she has a close relationship with Bernadette, the leader of "Elemental Dawn", the eldest daughter of Emperor Roselle, and the ruler of "0-05". It is not impossible for her to borrow the "Wishing Lamp" for use...

As their thoughts raced, they heard Anthony say respectfully:

"Good evening, Ms. Magician, Ms. Judge."

Lumian and the others came back to their senses and greeted him as well.

"This is Ms. Hermit," the Magician gave a brief introduction.

After Lumian and the others finished their greetings, the lady in the off-white, gold-embroidered, vertical-collared dress took out a bottle of dark red wine in an old round glass bottle from the void and said to Franca:

"Lend me that cufflink, and you can go home and rest."

Dealing with the "Supervisor" of the "School of Truth" would necessarily be a battle at the demigod level, and it was not something that Lumian and the others could get involved in.

Franka had no intention of forcing herself to participate, and handed the glass-like button to the "magician".

The "magician" lady then gave her the bottle of wine that only had a thin layer of dark red liquid:

"This is a magical item. It can restore your physical strength and spirituality after you drink it. But remember, you can only drink it once a day. Don't become a drunkard."

If you drink one more sip, you will become a drunkard immediately? Franka and others instantly understood the true meaning of the "magician" lady's last exhortation.

Seeing that the dark red wine in the bottle was only about to be taken a sip, Franca turned sideways and prepared to hand the old round glass bottle to Lumian.

He is the one who consumes the most spiritual energy.

The “magician” lady stroked the “mirror buckle” between her fingers and said with a smile:

"Don't worry, you can't finish it. It's called 'Eternal Wine'."

I see... With a trial mentality, Franka unscrewed the thin metal bottle cap and gulped down the thin layer of dark red wine.

After the slightly bitter and sweet alcohol liquid slid down her throat, she felt refreshed, as if she had just had a good sleep and had not fought with Moran Avni.

At the same time, she saw strands of dark red liquid seeping out from the bottom of the old round glass bottle, and there was a thin layer of wine.

It really is inexhaustible... Franca sighed as she handed the old round glass bottle to Lumian.

She had just stretched out her hand halfway when she suddenly felt that something seemed wrong.

She subconsciously changed direction, intending to let Janna drink first.

But she changed her mind and felt that this was even more wrong!
Because I will have to give it to Lumian to drink later!

Forget it, forget it, people of society should not be fussy about trivial matters… Franka muttered in her native language.

She then circled her finger around the mouth of the bottle and successfully saw a little white frost forming there.

As the white frost fell naturally, Franka gave Janna the "inexhaustible wine".

Janna drank the dark red wine, imitated her movements, and then handed it to Lumian.

Seeing this, Franka breathed a sigh of relief.

Lumian didn't care about the actions of the two witches. He was more concerned about the unusual things shown by Ms. Hermit and Ms. Magician.

The former's eyes blocked by lenses became extremely deep, but without focus, vast and unclear what he was looking at, while the latter had countless bright spots of light around him, as if the starry sky was shrunk and moved to the ground.

Before dealing with important matters, do some "divination" or "prophecy" first? Lumian took the old round glass bottle with understanding and drank the dark red wine inside.

His spirituality was quickly restored, as if he had experienced the arrival of six o'clock in the morning.

Of course, the spiritual energy that he had used up and accumulated in advance did not "return".

Phew, Lumian’s spiritual deficiency anxiety was cured.

After Anthony drank the "inexhaustible wine" and returned the magical item to the "magician", the "mirror buckle" with a dark light stained with starlight flew out and fell into the eyes of the holder of the Major Arcana card.

Ms. Magician let the "Mirror Buckle" fly towards Franka by itself, and she stretched out her hands, grabbed the void, and pulled it hard to both sides.

Silently, the void was torn apart like a transparent film, revealing one after another of empty and dark passages that formed a spider web.

This is the mirror world in the conventional sense.

Without relying on a mirror, the "magician" directly opens the illusory door to the world in the mirror!

Is this the high-level power of the Apprentice path? As Lumian and the others secretly sighed, Ms. Magician cast her eyes on Ms. Hermit beside her.

The "hermit" in a purple robe had a bright, not-quite-realistic ball of yarn in his right hand, and he wrapped the yarn around the golden, peculiarly shaped lamp.

Then, the holder of the Major Arcana card threw the bright and illusory ball of yarn into the illusory door opened by the "magician" and into the dark and empty tunnels of the mirror world.

The ball of yarn rolled into one of the passages by itself and quickly disappeared into the depths, leaving behind only the yarn that represented its trajectory and was connected to the strange golden lamp.

The "Magician" immediately took the "Hermit" and "Judgement" into the mirror world and chased after the ball of yarn.

After their figures disappeared in the mirror world, the void that was forcibly torn apart quickly closed.

"I should have heard the story of the ball of yarn, but I don't remember what it was called..." Franka muttered again.

Lumian turned his gaze back to Moran Avini's body.

"You want to take him back to your godson to eat?" Franca said with disdain, "Don't even mention whether Ludwig should eat humans. The flesh and blood of this 'man in the mirror' will gradually turn back into mirror fragments. Do you want Ludwig to eat a mouthful of glass shards?"

Lumian shook his head.
"I was wondering if I should take Moran Avni's makeup mirror away."

…………

After walking along the brightly colored woolen thread for a while, the three Major Arcana card holders arrived at a country villa corresponding to the mirror's coordinates and saw the target mirror placed on the desk.

That is also a makeup mirror.

They did not stop, chasing the ball of yarn and wandering in the spirit world.

In just two or three seconds, they returned to reality and saw the bright and illusory ball of yarn resting in a gloomy and dim church without any divine symbols.

Under the dome of the church, one human being after another was suspended in the air, swaying gently with the wind.

Some of those humans were old men, some were young boys, some were gentlemen wearing half-high silk hats, some were ladies wearing vintage dresses and beautiful faces, some were tall and burly like giants, and some were covered with wet and sticky scales like fish...

Their common feature is that they all have their eyes closed and are hung by invisible ropes, like hanged corpses.

Deep inside the church, on a wooden black-backed chair, sat a man in his thirties with ordinary features and dark hair. His aura and soul made the "magician" feel both familiar and unfamiliar.

She felt familiar with him because she recognized him as the leader of "April Fools' Day", "Loki" who was forced to use up his resurrection times; she felt strange because he gave her a strange feeling.

At this time, there was a blurry female figure that looked like a painting standing next to "Loki", and his eyes were pitch black, like the surface of a lake in a lightless night.

He looked at the Magician, the Hermit, and the Judgement, and said with a smile:

"Thanks to you, I have found a little hope of returning."

Before Loki finished his words, the corpses hanging in the air opened their eyes at the same time.

Those pairs of eyes were all pitch black.

…………

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

"Take away Moran Avni's makeup mirror?" Janna first repeated Lumian's words, and then suddenly realized, "Do you want to see if there are other 'people in the mirror' who tried to contact Moran Avni before the news of his mysterious disappearance spreads?"

"Waiting is a virtue." Lumian replied with a smile.

For a "hunter", this is an essential quality.

He bent down and took out the makeup mirror from the pocket of Moran Avni's body.

Just then, the makeup mirror snapped open.

It opened by itself!
A dim light surged out from the palm-sized glass mirror, instantly filling the empty hole in the quarry where there was only faint light.

The next second, Lumian, Franca and others saw a figure quickly outlined next to the fixed entrance and exit of the mirror world located on the protruding rock surface.

She was a woman with black hair and brown eyes, and a beautiful face. She was wearing a long red dress with layers of embroidery and lots of lace. A large area of ​​snow-white skin on her chest was exposed in the cold winter day, and she had a friendly smile on her face.

Perle?
The famous socialite in Trier, the theater actor Perle from the Kingdom of Loen?
Lumian was shocked and bewildered. He had never expected to be here, in this environment, face to face with this flamboyant socialite.

Franca, Janna and Anthony also had a psychedelic and unreal feeling.

Almost at the same time, Lumian remembered two facts related to Perle:
When he first went to observe Moran Avni, Perle was meeting his new lover in the attached restaurant of the grand hotel;
All socialites are standard, textbook brokers, political brokers!
Combining these two points, Lumian made a guess:
Could it be that Perle is also a member of the "School of Truth"?
Could she be the "supervisor" directly under Jebus, the demigod-level evil god's gift-giver?
If this is true, where did Ms. "Magician" and her friends track down and who did they track down?
Escape! You must escape immediately!
At this time, Perle looked at Lumian and the others, and uttered the "Word of Order" with a smile on his lips:
"Your crimes have not yet been punished!"
