Ring of Fate

Chapter 890 The Role of Lucky Gold Coins (Thanks to Mingzhi Mengzi for the reward from the Silver Alliance)
Lumian roughly understood what the “Magician” said:
The spring water from the "Samaritan Woman's Fountain" and the soil from the "Dream Festival" ancient tomb area that I had taken before were rewarded, and the reward was another lucky gold coin. However, the reward giver needed to wait until all the spring water from the "Samaritan Woman's Fountain" and the soil from the "Dream Festival" ancient tomb area were used up and the effects were confirmed before they would actually pay. And these items needed to be used in batches with time intervals, and could not be consumed all at once - that might bring bad results.

“How many more days do we need to wait?” Lumian cast his gaze toward the golden-red sky and nodded. “I understand.”

He was not in a hurry. It had already been arranged for so long, so a few more days wouldn't make a difference.

Lumian further asked:
"How many lucky gold coins do I need to collect in order to awaken Mr. Fool?"

"The lucky coin is a prop, a medium, not the awakening itself, and there are only five such coins." The "magician" lady did not answer in a riddle, but explained it very clearly, "When you get the last lucky coin, the five of you can use your own coins to enter Mr. Fool's dream and try to wake him up. Do you understand? The lucky coin is the medium that helps you participate in Mr. Fool's dream.

"Of course, with your sequence, even if you have the lucky gold coin, you can't decide when you can enter the dream. What you can do after entering the dream requires our assistance. We must ensure that you can go there at the same time and have enough clarity and rationality."

Lumian listened quietly, his eyes turned slightly, and he pursed his lips and said:

"Mr. Fool's dream? Are we responsible for waking up Mr. Fool?"

"Yes." Ms. Magician answered with just one word.

She looked at Lumian's profile, which presented a dreamy beauty in the dusk light, and sighed secretly.

Lumian frowned slightly:
"What do we need to do to wake up Mr. Fool?
"The previous lucky gold coin holders never entered Mr. Fool's dream and didn't make any attempts?"

Why do we have to come?

“I don’t know what to do to wake up Mr. Fool.” Ms. Magician was very frank. “You’ll have to figure it out on your own. We will give you some suggestions in a timely manner based on your feedback.”

She paused and said in a teasing tone:

"Previous holders of the Lucky Coin had indeed entered Mr. Fool's dream and made many attempts, but they were all discovered by the spirit of the Celestial Lord and either kicked out of the dream or had their behavior restricted, so they couldn't do much. One of them was kicked out of the dream for the first time, and no matter whether he disguised himself or behaved well, he would be kicked out again within a minute after re-entering the dream.

"You also have to be careful. It's okay in the beginning, but if you are discovered and locked by the spirit of the Heavenly Lord, you will be kicked out of the dream, or become dumb, blind, or stupid."

Lumian thought for a moment and said:

"Are we the ones destined to awaken Mr. Fool?"

"Maybe, maybe not, we can't be sure yet." The "magician" lady explained simply, "We can only say that the former owners of the lucky gold coins will suddenly feel that they should trade the lucky gold coins to someone at a certain moment or in a certain situation. This may be the revelation of fate."

Lumian didn't ask any more questions, but instead mentioned that he had met all the requirements to come into contact with Omibella's remains, and finally said:
"Can I apply to the New Silver City now?"

"I will help you inform Mr. Sun, you just need to be prepared." The "Magician" lady laughed and said, "Of course, you can't really take Omibella's remains away. They belong to the New Silver City. Level 0 sealed objects are very precious no matter where they are. No one will give them to you without paying the corresponding price.

"What you are allowed to do is to read the relevant records of the Silver City, touch and study the items that the remains have become in the New Silver City. If you encounter difficulties, with the approval of the New Silver City's 'Six-member Council', you can temporarily borrow the '0' level seal and return it within a certain period of time."

“This is already very good.” Lumian said sincerely.

According to the official Extraordinary "007", if he wants to use a "1" level seal, he has to report it in advance, get approval, and meet the corresponding conditions. As for a "0" level seal, he can't even dream of it.

And now, the New Silver City might actually allow him to borrow Omibella's remains for a period of time!
Lumian gathered his hair "habitually" and told the "magician" about Thermipolos, Amon's real self, and his own reaction when he first learned that the name of the "Great Mother" Invisible Son of God was Omybella, as well as his own guess.

"This may really hide a very big and important secret, and it has a certain connection with the bird egg deep in the underworld and the missing 'Lady Night' Puaris." The "Magician" lady raised her hands slightly, as if feeling the freshness and vigor of the early spring wheat seedlings.

Lumian stopped in front of a pond used to store water, was silent for a few seconds and said:

"Ma'am, what is the true purpose and end result of Project Vortex?"

Ms. Magician recounted all the transactions and developments she knew about. However, because Lumian no longer had the false angel status and had lost the seal of Mr. Fool, she could no longer bear certain knowledge. She used descriptions such as the evil god outside the barrier, the one believed by the brokers, and the "Great Mother" to refer to those great beings.

Hearing that Emperor Roselle had been resurrected as the "Black Emperor" and chose to die again in order to severely damage the great being who preached in the name of "truth", Lumian's expression changed several times, and in the end he did not say a word.

"I understand how you feel." The "Magician" lady comforted herself with a self-deprecating tone as she turned into a female Minor Arcana. "I don't like that person, and I hate what he did, but I have to admit that he is indeed preparing for the end of our world, and he is not just doing things that only benefit him under the banner, so my feelings are very complicated."

Lumian had a cold expression and remained silent.

The "magician" lady did not continue to discuss this matter. She raised her right hand, causing tiny dots of starlight to emerge and fall onto Lumian's left chest, forming an illusory symbol composed of layers of doors.

The holder of the Major Arcana simply said:
“There’s no need to seal the angel. My power is enough to protect Aurore and the others’ soul fragments. There’s no need to trouble Mr. Fool. Moreover, if Mr. Fool were to seal them, it would affect Aurore’s soul fragments from gradually reviving with the help of your female state.

"Well, if you don't want to take the lucky coin to Mr. Fool's dream, we won't force you. I will still help you strengthen the seal regularly."

Lumian smiled bitterly:

"That one has made the choice for me."

He was silent for a while, and his lips, which were slightly lighter in color, moved a few times:
"Can being in the 'witch' state really allow Aurora's soul fragments to gradually revive? Is this really the only way to revive Aurora?"

"It may not be the only one. At least I cannot give you an accurate judgment. Only Mr. Fool can give the corresponding answer." Ms. Magician did not deny the statement, nor did she confirm it.

Her current knowledge and ability are not enough to support her rebuttal.

The only thing she was sure of was:
"This is indeed a way to resurrect Aurore, but the final resurrection is not so complete."

"Why must it be Auror's soul fragments that are gradually reviving, and not the soul fragments of other villagers? There are many soul fragments sealed in my body, why is Auror's the most special one?" This is actually the question that Lumian is most worried about now.

Ms. Magician said:
"Aurore's soul fragments meet three conditions at the same time. First, she is a Beyonder and has undergone transformation of her soul with Beyonder characteristics. Second, she is contaminated by the power of fate. Third, at the end of the ceremony, her soul fragments were protected by that person or a few people. They are in a relatively better condition and can be gradually revived.

"So, her soul fragment is indeed the most special one among all the soul fragments in your body. The rest of the soul fragments may only exist in the form of half-human, half-animal puppet soldiers when you become an angel of the Hunter Path in the future."

Lumian thought for a while and said:

"If I were now a Beyonder of the three paths of the Great Mother, I would not doubt that Auror's soul fragments could gradually revive in my body, but the Witch does not have the symbol of rebirth..."

"But the 'witch' has the power to resurrect. Have you forgotten that one of the descriptions of the 'immortal witch' is that she is strange and difficult to kill, and is good at resurrection and rebirth?" Ms. "Magician" reminded.

Lumian exhaled quietly and said:

"If I continue to advance to become the 'Immortal Witch', will the effect of reviving Aurore's soul fragment be better?"

The "Magician" lady smiled and said:
"You don't have to pursue it deliberately. You can also obtain all the abilities and characteristics of the 'Undying Witch' by jumping to Sequence 2 of the 'Witch Path' later, unless you find a way to separate the corresponding 'Undying' Beyonder characteristic."

Seeing Lumian nodded slightly, the "Magician" lady smiled and asked:

"As a demigod who has changed his path, you should have some special, mixed abilities now, right?"

Lumian hummed and said:

“The most special ability is the use of fire.

“On the one hand, I can use the blazing white flame of the ‘Hunter’ and the black flame of the ‘Witch’ herself separately, and on the other hand, I can make them fuse together and explode, which can not only physically destroy people and objects, but also ignite the spirit and burn the spirit body, damaging and destroying a target in all directions.

"Well, after the extraordinary characteristics of the 'Desperate Witch' and the 'Hunter' pathway merged, new mystical knowledge emerged. This black flame that suppresses rage and madness is called the 'Fire of Destruction'."
