Ring of Fate

Chapter 762 Spiritual Intuition (Double Last Day for Monthly Tickets)

On the side of the "Sword Knight" is a lake with no visible boundaries. Under the moonlight at night, it glows a quiet crimson, and sometimes the wind blows, causing ripples to move.

Lumian couldn't help but raise his head and look up. He felt that the night sky with the red moon hanging in it was much closer to him than usual and much cleaner. He could even vaguely see the stars that were obscured by the moonlight. They were so dense that they seemed to form a dazzling, huge river.

A chilly wind blew past, and Lumian, who was wearing a thicker jacket, looked away and said to the Sword Knight:

"are not you cold?"

Although it is summer in the southern continent, this place is obviously located at a very high altitude with thinner air. It is night now and the temperature should not exceed 15 degrees Celsius.

The Sword Knight, who was originally looking at the lake on the plateau, turned to Lumian and said:
"For me, temperature has no real meaning anymore, and cold suits me better."

“Really? Then the weather over 100 degrees Celsius and the environment close to absolute zero can’t affect you?” Lumian replied in a relaxed state.

The Sword Knight fell silent for a moment, his eyes dim, as if he was trying hard to suppress something.
"What exactly happened?" Lumian brought the topic back on track.

The Sword Knight did not let the pale, plain-dressed men and women around him leave, and said in a low voice:

"This is the Lacre area of ​​the former Highland Kingdom. I would like to ask you to help find a person here."

The Highland Kingdom that is famous for its mummies? Lumian did not hide his doubts:

"What can I find that you can't?"

After the last cooperation, he knew that the holder of the Minor Arcana card "Knight of Swords" was Sequence 5 "Grievous Soul" of the "Prisoner" pathway, and this pathway was mainly controlled by the "School of the Rose". The Temperance Faction that split from the "School of the Rose" joined the "Fool" Church.

Combining this information, Lumian reasonably guessed that the “Knight of Swords” was a member of the “Temperance Faction” and represented his faction in joining the “Tarot Club” that also served Mr. Fool.

In addition, Lumian had seen the Temperance angel who was suspected to be the messenger of Mr. Fool, and knew that this organization was not weak, and could even be called powerful. Starting from the "Ghosts", they were good at divination and had very strong spiritual intuition.

Based on these circumstances, if the "Sword Knight" really wants to find a human being, it would be easier to ask the Temperance Faction for help directly.

“Are you thinking that my promise will go to waste if it’s not used?

"Or, like me, he wants to rely on his own abilities and accumulated connections to complete the task and hone himself?

"Well, it is more likely that I will use my mystical absorption ability of the Evil God's Gift to find the target..."

As Lumian made his guesses, the Sword Knight said in a voice that suppressed his emotions and desires:
"Someone's spiritual intuition told her that you can solve the problem we are facing now and provide the most effective help."

After becoming good at divination, the "ghost" also became a charlatan? Lumian muttered inwardly, but did not ask any more questions:

"What do you need me to do?"

The "Knight of Swords" took two steps forward:
“Please allow me to introduce myself.

"My name is Maric, I am the Minor Arcana Knight of Swords of the Tarot Club, and I am also a member of the Temperance Faction of the Church of the Fool.

"You should know the origin of the Temperance Faction, right?"

Lumian nodded and pointed at himself:
"Lumian Lee."

The Sword Knight continued:
"We are looking for an important member of the 'Original Moon' faction within the Hedonistic Faction."

We…Lumian’s first reaction was to look around for possible companions of the Sword Knight Maric.

But he found nothing.

As for those pale-faced men and women, he didn't even use the "Eye of Disaster". He simply observed their weaknesses and confirmed that they were all zombies.

Lumian withdrew his gaze and frowned slightly.
"'Original Moon' pie?"

Didn’t the “Rose School” only split into the hedonistic and temperate factions? Where did the “Original Moon” faction come from?

Well, judging from the series of events involving "Hisoka" and "Dream Festival", maybe there is a "Devil School" within the "Rose School"...

Did you learn this from Tamara's family? Infinitely divisible...

The Sword Knight explained earnestly:

"The 'Original Moon' faction joined the Hedonistic School later. They were previously a branch of the 'School of Life' and mastered the 'Pharmacist', or the 'Moon' path. Later, under the guidance of the 'Original Moon', they rebelled against the 'School of Life' and joined the 'School of Roses'."

"School of Life"...Lumian began to feel a headache.

How come this matter is becoming more and more complicated?

Which secret organization is this?
As if sensing his thoughts, the Sword Knight Maric said concisely:
“The ‘Life School’ focuses on the ‘Destiny’ approach and is now an ally of the ‘Tarot Club’.

"Their affairs have nothing to do with this search."

Lumian nodded, signaling the Sword Knight to get back to business.

Aurore said that we should not add entities unless necessary. If they are irrelevant, there is no need to understand them to avoid wasting energy.

The Sword Knight Maric glanced at the clean and boundless lake and said:

"The member of the 'Original Moon' faction we are looking for this time holds a very important item. That is our target."

"How do you know he's in the, uh, Lacre area?" Lumian got down to business.

The Sword Knight was silent for a few seconds and said:
"The two things that happened here and the traces left behind all pointed to him, but we didn't find him. During this time, another thing happened that proved that he was still here, even in the city of Lacre."

“Is he from the ‘Pharmacist’ path?” Lumian asked thoughtfully.

The Sword Knight nodded slightly.

"Yes."

"Who is the evil god of the 'original moon' they believe in?" Lumian didn't rush to ask what happened and what traces were left behind.

The Sword Knight's cold expression unconsciously turned serious.

"It is likely an incarnation of the Great Mother, or sometimes the Mother Tree of Desire."

"'Great Mother'..." Lumian's eyelids jumped when he heard this. "Has the important believer of 'Primal Moon' that you are looking for ever received the gift of 'Primal Moon', or 'Great Mother'?"

"Maybe." The Sword Knight was not so sure.

If the followers of the Great Mother accept Her gift, it means that they can sense the blood of the Son of God in me at a certain distance... The Sword Knight had never thought of asking me for help before. Not long after I obtained Omybella's blood, his companions had the corresponding spiritual intuition... Is this to attract the target through the blood of the Son of God? Lumian's judgment of the whole matter was instantly clear.

That person’s spiritual intuition is so accurate!
The Sword Knight's expression returned to normal:
"That person is called Osetto. He is a Sequence 4 'Witch King' of the 'Pharmacist' Path, a demigod. Don't worry, we will secretly provide you with protection."

As he spoke, the holder of the Minor Arcana card bent down and picked up an oil painting from the ground. It depicted a handsome man who looked to be only in his twenties. His skin was so white that it looked like he had not been exposed to the sun for a long time. His facial features were deep and his slightly curly black hair fell on his shoulders.

"This is a portrait of Osetto," the "Knight of the Sword" introduced briefly.

"If there is a gift, the target's current appearance and gender must be determined..." Lumian said after thinking, "Tell me about the events that happened in the Rakre area and the effective traces left behind."

The Sword Knight pulled out a stack of papers from under his vest and handed them to Lumian, saying:
"We first learned from some merchants that a full moon appeared several times in Lacre City, when it shouldn't have appeared...

"We found a buried sacrificial site on the edge of Lake Dash. Dozens of humans became nutrients for the earth. Their abdomens were torn apart, and something seemed to have crawled out of them, but no relevant traces were found at the scene..."

Hearing this, Lumian suddenly recalled the scenes he saw in Madame Puaris's castle.

He asked with some annoyance:

"Are those humans male and female?"

“Yes.” The Sword Knight seemed to know what he wanted to ask and added, “The male’s abdomen was also torn.”

He then pointed to the stack of papers in Lumian's hand:
"More details are in the information."

Lumian hummed, then paused for a moment before saying:

"I may need my companions to assist me. Can you protect them?"

"No problem, as long as you are no more than five kilometers apart." The "Sword Knight" gave an affirmative answer.

Lumian smiled.

"Then I'll go back and study the information and make some preparations."

…………

Memorial District, 9 Orosei Street, Apartment 702.

After hearing the request from the "Knight of the Sword", Franka scratched her hair and said in confusion:
"Let's not talk about the danger of searching for a demigod. I think you should be able to do it by yourself. We can only help a limited amount in this matter, and we don't have Omibella's bloodline."

Anthony, who was summoned, thought for a moment and said:
"I can help cover up the traces of the investigation and make the person being questioned forget that he or she was ever questioned."

Janna glanced at Lumian and said:

"I don't think your real purpose is to get us to help."

Hearing this, Franka suddenly realized:
“You want to take this opportunity to hone your team?

"Have you started preparing so early?"

"Not stupid." Lumian laughed. "The sooner you prepare for this kind of thing, the better. What if you are forced to get promoted early in the future?"

Franka said thoughtfully:

"Then I'll give '007' the courier summoning method of Janna. With the clues about the 'man in the mirror', we'll go back to Trier to track them down.

"Also, don't forget the most important player."

“How could I forget?” Lumian laughed.

…………

Ludwig, who was having a midnight snack, saw his godfather walk into the room, sit down opposite the dining table, and smile at him.

He suddenly felt that the bread in his hand no longer tasted fragrant.
