Ring of Fate

Chapter 825 "Wilderness"

Nikila looked at Franca obsessively and said:

"He must have felt the call of the wild."

"Wilderness?" Franca did not hide her doubts.

Nikila explained very proactively and in detail:

"In Trier in the Fourth Epoch, in the ruined palace of Alistair Tudor, beside his corpse, no, on his corpse, no, under his corpse, no, anyway, there was a wilderness.

"All 'peekers' and 'knowers' will eventually return to that wilderness."

All the "secret peepers" and "generalists"... Isn't it the "Heavenly Master" who can exert a strong influence on the extraordinary people of the two paths of "secret peepers" and "generalists"? Before, the "professor" and "associate professor" had both had dreams about the wilderness... Franka was refreshed and said:

"What else do you know about that wilderness?"

Nikila shook her head with a hint of annoyance and unusual frankness:
"Nothing else to know. Well, according to our leader, the higher the Beyonder's sequence of the 'Secret Voyeur' and 'Generalist' paths, the easier it is to hear the call of the wild."

Well, the "Hidden Sage" should be the one with the highest sequence in the "Peeper of Secrets" path. So in the inn incident, when the seal of Trier in the Fourth Epoch was opened, the leakage of the power of the wilderness had a great impact on Him, causing Him to become more and more crazy? Is it the same with Kemero? After all, he is in Trier...hiss, will the demigod of the "God of Steam and Machinery" Church in Trier also have a problem? Franka swallowed her saliva and said:

"Has Kemero returned to the wilderness?"

Nikila smiled tenderly and painfully:
“Not yet. He may just be in a worse state and unable to maintain himself well. He is resisting the call in some extreme way.

"If he returns to the wilderness, he will have to pass through our mirror world. Our leader cannot hide it. If our leader knows, I will know it too."

For Trier, it might not be a bad thing for Camelot to return to the wilderness. According to Nikila, uh, Griffith's description, Camelot is now like a powerful bomb, and it is unknown when it will explode... Franka considered it for a moment and said:
"Do you know where he is hiding at the moment?"

Nikila sighed and said:

"He hasn't been in touch with me for a while either. The last time we saw each other was near the catacombs."

Near the catacombs...Franca asked:
"Griffith, what do you want to achieve by replacing the original person and infiltrating the 'Moss Ascetic Order'?"

Nikila emphasized seriously:

“I am the original one.

"Our goal is to let the high-level officials of the Moss Ascetic Order gradually understand the existence of the wilderness, so that they can help us open the seal of Trier in the Fourth Epoch at a critical moment."

Franka asked with some understanding:
"With your 'help', Kemero, the 'pillar', has learned about the existence of the wilderness and its specific location?"

Is it because he knew too much and possessed divinity that Camelot gradually lost control in the aftermath of the inn incident and became increasingly unable to resist the call of the wilderness?
I haven't heard of anything like this happening in the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery, at least not in such a serious way...

"Yes." Nikila shared her feelings with her dream lover. "So, this is both a good thing and a bad thing for me. I finally gained Kemero's trust and made him interested in the wilderness without arousing his suspicion. I got the corresponding information. But now, all my efforts have been wasted. I have to think about how to gain his trust and one of the Ten Pillars that will come later."

"Why is it a good thing again?" Franca was a little puzzled.

Nikila smiled and said:
"If Kemero returns to the wilderness, maybe one day I can obtain the extraordinary characteristics of 'Mystic'."

"The 'Mystic' is the Sequence 4 of the 'Mystery Peeper' pathway? Can you 'People in the Mirror' advance by taking potions?" Franka asked the two questions at a fairly fast pace.

Nikila nodded:
"Yes, I can be promoted to 'Mystic' by drinking potions. I am the original one."

"Have you ever drunk potion before?" Franka glanced at Griffith's body, which had not yet developed extraordinary characteristics.

"No." Nikila answered frankly.

Ha, the Beyonder characteristic won’t be lost… Franka cursed in her heart using the game terminology from before the time travel and said:

"It's been a while since Moran Avni died, and your leader can't break free from the seal. He frequently gets your feedback and issues orders to you. Who is responsible for contacting Trier's 'Mirror People' and handling daily issues?"

"It was Palia. She received instructions from the leader and obtained the relevant information." Nikila answered, but did not elaborate as before.

The mineral scholar Jasmine I'm tracking... No wonder she, who is wanted under the current situation, appeared twice in Trier underground... Is she rebuilding Trier's "Mirror Man" contact network? Franca hurriedly asked:

"Do you have a way to contact Paliyya?"

Nikila shook her head again:
“At present, she is the only one contacting us.

“That way, any exposure among us won’t affect the others.

"According to the previous agreement, Paliya will contact me once a week through the mirror world to confirm my situation and exchange new information. The time is approximately between 8 and 10 pm on Sunday night."

Don't you think this is troublesome and inconvenient? Of course, it is indeed safer... After Franca complained in her heart, she saw that Nikila's figure was getting fainter and fainter, and it would disappear soon, so she quickly asked the last question:

"Besides connecting the Fourth Epoch Trier and the current Trier, where else can your mirror world connect to?"

This question originates from Lumian's letters.

He confirmed that the information exchange between Morola and the outside world was achieved through that special mirror world.

Nikila thought about it and said:

"It's a strange place, very similar to Trier in the Fourth Epoch, and it's also sealed. There seem to be a lot of living people inside, but we can't enter."

It is difficult for the "Mirror Man" to use the special mirror world to go directly to Morola... Franka nodded slightly and said:

"Did one or some of your companions go to Lenburg just to find that strange sealed place?"

"Yes, although we can't go there directly, as long as we can enter through normal means, we can use the power of our mirror world..." As Nikila spoke, he found that he could no longer maintain the integrity of his soul.

He looked at Franca, scanning that beautiful face with nostalgia and pain.

Franka's body suddenly broke out in goose-like bumps.

Looking at Nikira in the mirror, or Griffith the "man in the mirror" completely disappearing, Franka sighed inwardly:

"The effect of 'charming' in such a short period of time, with high intensity and frequency, can last for such a long time. It may take a day or two to wear off...

"The repeated 'charm' in daily life, maintained for a long time, seems to really make someone fall in love with me, the kind of love that is deeply rooted... I don't know how long this kind of love can last after losing the influence of extraordinary power. A year should be no problem, but it's hard to say whether it can overcome the seven-year itch...

"Haha, if 'Hunters' can form a team, so can 'Witches'. Moreover, the team's loyalty and the tacit understanding between 'Witches' will be significantly higher. The only problem is that it is difficult for team members to cooperate from the bottom of their hearts. They can only hate each other. What kind of Shura field is this..."

Franca put away the mirror and said to Janna and Anthony:

"No need to wait. This guy doesn't have any extraordinary characteristics."

By this time, Janna had completed her collection of spoils, having obtained 460 Fel Gold and nine scrolls from Nikila.

What are the specific functions of these scrolls and what spells they use? The answers will be obtained through the subsequent use of "Magic Mirror Divination".

Anthony glanced at Nikila's body and the nine scrolls, and said carefully:

"Should we send someone to disguise himself as Nikila using 'lies' and wait for the 'person in the mirror' named Paliyya to contact us?"

"Yes, but the hope is not great." Franka considered for a moment and said, "Although we can bury the body and make some attempts to counter divination and anti-prophecy, there are still many days until Sunday. The time interval is too long. The leader of the 'Man in the Mirror' should be able to detect something unusual. Well, anyway, there is nothing to lose by giving it a try."

After completing the preparations for the counter-divination and counter-prophecy, when Nikila's body turned into a few broken mirror fragments, Janna frowned slightly and said:

"Still no special fragments of the mirror world are left."

The previous Moran Avni didn't stay either.

——The two pieces that Janna and Franca now own are from Gardner Martin in the mirror and the tomb of Tamara's family.

"What kind of 'person in the mirror' would leave behind special fragments of the mirror world? What was so special about that fake Martin? Next time I catch a 'person in the mirror', I will have to ask this question..." Franka said to herself.

The three of them quickly cleaned up the scene, and Franka activated the "Ice Amulet" and "teleported" to the fixed entrance and exit of the mirror world.

During this process, Franka took advantage of the fact that the power of the "Ice Amulet" had not yet subsided and passed on the intelligence gained from this operation to Lumian.

…………

Morola, second floor of the "Carnivore" bar.

Lumian, who was reading a book in a comfortable posture, cast his eyes on the mirror in the room and saw a flash of light on it, with lines of Intis words emerging.

As he watched, Lumian was suddenly stunned.

He realized what he had overlooked before.

At this moment, could it be that the "Man in the Mirror" who was sent to Lenburg to investigate the whereabouts of "0-01" has also sneaked into Morola?
But they are different from the "people in the mirror" created by the accident in the underground mausoleum, and can make use of that special mirror world!
