Ring of Fate

Chapter 790 The answer to the magic mirror divination

When "Big Shark" Jorg and others ran to the dock, the place where the "News" was anchored was empty, with only the blue water waves swaying gently in the light mist.

At this moment, Jorg and other big pirates were stunned, as if they had seen an oil painting beyond imagination.

Soon, they were in a state of panic:

The Admiral has escaped on the Newins, what shall we do?
Since the unknown adventurer failed to hunt down the admiral and let him escape, will he turn his attention to us and take it out on us?

He used illusions to deal with us. He was indeed here to hunt the Admiral...

With a flash of thought, "Giant Shark" Jorg and others turned around and ran out of the dock area.

They were going to find several contacts of the "News" in Panamore Harbor, and with their knowledge of the local area, find a secret place to hide, and then contact the "Admiral of the Deep Sea" to confirm what to do next.

…………

Inside the captain's cabin of the HMS Newins.

Hal Constantine put on the translucent octopus mask again and stared at the almost lightless swaying sea water outside the thick glass window, feeling the wounds inside and outside his body gradually healing with the help of the healing potion.

He couldn't help but recall what had just happened. Although it was extremely painful, it made him feel the ultimate joy he had never experienced before. At that time, even his soul was almost blank.

This pleasure was countless times greater than that brought by the women sent to the ship, and Hal Constantine wanted to experience it again.

Huh... Hal Constantine let out a breath, and was glad that he activated the defense system of the "News" in time, otherwise he would be easily killed in the next second due to the influence of that extreme pleasure.

He believed that the assassins felt that the "News" had become extremely dangerous, so they chose to give up, did not pursue, and fled from the alchemical ship first.

He did not regret not activating the defense system in the beginning, because he was caught in a surprise attack and had no time to do this.

What Hal Constantine was wondering now was when the seeds of joy were planted in him, so that he completely exploded as soon as he saw the true appearance and beautiful figure of the "witch".

He murmured to himself:
“Is this the reason why the male assassin never took action?

"It's not that he doesn't want to attack me, but he can't. He has to wait until the seeds of pleasure are truly planted in my heart?

"What exactly do they want to do, besides assassinating me? What else do they plan to do? What is their real goal, the secret of the 'News' and the 'Lost News'?"

"Admiral of the Deep Sea" Hal Constantine lacked the corresponding clues and could not make an effective judgment. He could only suppress his emotions temporarily and planned to wait until his body and soul were fully recovered before contacting his subordinates in Panamore Port to ask them if they had noticed anything unusual.

He instinctively reviewed his experience again, trying to find some details for investigation. He found that after eliminating the real purpose of the assassins, the whole thing seemed as if the two "witches" and their companions had deliberately brought him an extreme pleasure. As for almost dying in the pleasure, it was normal. There was no shortage of people in this world who died in the stomachs of the opposite sex without being attacked.

Thinking of this, Hal Constantine glanced around and saw a shiny gold Louis left at the door of the captain's room.

Those were left behind by the two "witches".

Looking at the Gold Louis that was pushed to the door by the water and had obviously been processed so that it could not be tracked, Hal Constantine suddenly had an absurd idea and fell into an unspeakable silence.

…………

In Panamore Port, in the hotel room rented by Lumian and others.

Jannah took the time to remove the "respectable" brooch that looked like a gorse and sank it into the aluminum-white military hip flask that Lumian had given her.

Almost at the same time, Janna felt that the looks of Lumian, Franca and Anthony had changed significantly.

It revealed disgust, disdain and malice that could not be concealed.

Janna had felt the malice of some people around her in the bars and dance halls of the market district in Trier's Pasteur Street before, but it was often mixed with certain desires and cravings, unlike now, which was dominated by dislike and hatred.

Of course, Janna also noticed that there was a certain element of desire in Franca's disgust and disdain, as if she wanted to get corresponding satisfaction through sadism and bullying.

Apart from the change in his eyes, Lumian's expression was normal.

This is brought about by the endurance of the "ascetic".

He nodded to Janna and said:

"The negative effects of the 'respectability' brooch have taken effect. Go to the next room for an hour."

"I know." Janna glanced at Lumian and remembered what happened.

At that time, she was responsible for protecting Lumian who was under the negative effects of the "Dignity" brooch, and she also wanted to beat him up.

She always regretted why she didn't take the opportunity to draw some dog shit on Lumian's face.

Thinking of the past, Janna smiled, walked out of the room, and went to the next room which also belonged to their team to wait for the negative effects to end.

"Huh, the negative effect of the 'Dignity' brooch is really strong..." Franka sighed sincerely.

Lumian glanced at her and laughed:
"I think your hatred and disgust are not pure enough."

Franca suddenly became embarrassed and said with a wry smile:

“Sometimes, hatred and disgust can also inspire desire.

"If you don't believe me, you can ask Anthony!"

Before Lumian looked at him, Anthony took the initiative to speak:
“Well, the human brain and soul are amazing, and different people may have the same desire due to different stimuli.

"Some people get pleasure from pain, some from jealousy, some from breaking taboos, some from being scolded, some from abusing others, and some from being loved by others for sharing themselves. There are all kinds of things, beyond your imagination."

"To put it simply, there are a lot of perverts in this world?" Lumian took the opportunity to mock Franca.

Franka was not provoked and frowned slightly with a serious expression.

After getting rid of the negative effects of the "respectable" brooch, she remembered the scene she had just seen.

She considered and said:

"Do you think the real appearance of 'Admiral of the Deep' is a bit like Harrison from Easter Island?"

Lumian recalled:

"You mean, they all have a more obvious oriental style?"

He had seen the portrait of Harrison that Franca had drawn.

"Yes, but it's more like a hybrid of people like Harrison and people from the Northern Continent such as Intis." Franka said carefully.

Because Anthony was present, she did not mention the crossing, but instead guided them in the direction of Easter Island.

Lumian nodded slightly and said:

"Get the portrait of Hal Constantine, and we'll write to ask the Major Arcanas."

"Don't ask Ms. Judge and Ms. Magician first. I'll try the Magic Mirror Divination." Franka responded immediately.

She began to arrange the ceremony in the room and drew the appearance of Hal Constantine in her memory, including his appearance similar to that of the residents of Easter Island, slightly pointed ears, thick dark blue-almost-black hair, and dark tentacle-like veins on the back of his hand when he held the obsidian trident.

Some of these were things that Franka had not noticed during the battle, but she saw them with her own eyes, and now, through the ritual, she copied them from her memory.

Lumian picked up the portrait, examined it for a moment and said:

“It’s a bit oriental.”

Franka said "hmm" and started to do the "magic mirror divination" solemnly.

Before long, the mirror on the desk became dim, and there seemed to be the sound of splashing water echoing softly inside.

Franka picked up the portrait of "Admiral of the Deep Sea" and asked about the object of the "magic mirror divination":

"What does this look mean?"

She did not directly ask Hal Constantine about his origins or hometown, fearing that that was something the object of the "magic mirror divination" could not answer.

An old and hoarse voice came from inside the mirror:

"It's a spirit."

Elf? A blood vessel in Lumian’s forehead jumped.

This is the legendary extraordinary race!

Before, Lumian only knew about the existence of elves, a supernatural creature that lived on Sonia Island in the Sonia Sea in ancient times. Later, when he read their creation myths in the New Silver City, he discovered that the elves were once very powerful, and their king, Soniathorem, was one of the eight ancient gods, ruling over the sky and the sea.

In the real world, since the beginning of the Fifth Age, encountering real elves has become a very rare thing. Only the descendants of elves whose bloodline is so weak that their racial characteristics are almost invisible appear from time to time.

Franca was also surprised and asked:

"Is it an elf, or a hybrid of elves and humans?"

"A mixed-race descendant." An old and hoarse voice answered.

Although he was a mixed-blood descendant, judging from Hal Constantine's appearance, his elven blood was still very strong... Theoretically, Sequence 5 "Ocean Singer" would not bring about such a big change... A hybrid of elves and humans? Could it be that the ancestors of the elves were time travelers, and then reproduced in this world? The legends of the elves are all things from the Second Age... The more Franca thought about it, the more serious she became, and she almost forgot to ask the third question.

She collected her thoughts and pondered for a few seconds before saying:

"Is 'Lost Newins' a relic left by the ancient elves?"

Although the elves seemed to live on Sonia Island in ancient times, since they once ruled the ocean, it is normal for them to leave behind relics of civilization in other sea areas.

Well, if Hal Constantine was a descendant of an elf with a relatively pure bloodline, then it would be completely understandable that he wore a mask and disguised himself as a descendant of a sea monster. The Church of the Lord of Storms is said to hate elves and the descendants of elves with a relatively pure bloodline...

The old voice in the mirror answered Franka's third question:
"do not know."

"Okay..." Franka ended the "Magic Mirror Divination" and fell into a long silence.

She suddenly regretted that this time she had only treated "Admiral of the Deep Sea" Hal Constantine as an object to digest her "pleasure". If she had known earlier, she would have chosen not to train the team and exchange fate. She would have let Lumienne do it alone, and she and others would have cooperated to see if they could capture that elf.
