Ring of Fate

Chapter 909 Suspicious Details (asking for monthly tickets at the beginning of the month)
Siatas? Franca quickly looked at the face of the girl named Xia and her ears that were barely visible under her shiny black hair.

According to the information provided by the Major Arcana cards, Siatas, who currently rents the same house as Mr. Fool, is an ancient elf in reality, and her boyfriend Mobet is a viscount of the Solomon Empire of the Fourth Epoch and a member of the Zoroaster family. Both of them have been dead for many years.

Franca quickly withdrew her gaze, not letting Siatas notice that she was observing her.

This is the professional quality of an "assassin".

As for the blatant stare before, she was not worried about being suspected at all. Siatas's kicking the thief away made everyone around look at her.

Franka lowered her voice and said to Lumian and the others:

"The ears are slightly pointed, and the facial features are consistent with those of the local residents. It should be Siatas."

MD, the ancestors of the elves couldn't really be time travelers? Except for a few details, Siatas was flawless in pretending to be a local in this city!

She wanted to communicate with Siatas!

Lumian glanced at Ludwig, who was chewing on the end of his chopsticks, and said thoughtfully:

"Could Xiatas be that Heavenly Lord? Or, could she be a Beyonder subordinate of that Heavenly Lord?"

"..." Franca and Janna were both stunned by this question.

“Not really…” Franca resisted the urge to look at Siatas again.

Jana thought for a moment and said:

"The Siatas in the dream should be a fake person woven by Mr. Fool's subconscious mind based on his memory."

"The fake person may be that Heavenly Master, or he may be used by that Heavenly Master." Lumian smiled.

For some reason, seeing his smile, Franca and Janna's heartbeats quickened a little. They felt that this guy's masculine image was less handsome and more handsome than before, and his smile was like sunshine on their faces.

Yes, although Lumian is still a male in his subconscious, the changes made by the "magic potion" to his body have long been recognized and remembered by his subconscious. Without involving gender recognition, the "witch" path to improve his appearance and strengthen his charm will definitely be reflected in his dreams... What is this called, a "magic man"? Franka first realized it, and then complained in her heart.

Lumian continued:
"Xia Tas is one of the few people closest to Mr. Fool, living in another room in the same rental house. Why can't such a person be that Heavenly Lord? Why can't she be controlled by that Heavenly Lord in some way, becoming his puppet and being used by him?

"The closer someone is to Mr. Fool, the more suspicious they are."

"Yes." Anthony rarely took the initiative to speak out his own opinion. "In the data, the messenger mentioned that Siatas and Mobet only had contact with Mr. Fool's 'Angel of Redemption', the incarnation walking on earth, the great adventurer Gehrman Sparrow, and they are already dead. To Mr. Fool, they are neither important nor special. Why are they the two who share the apartment with Mr. Fool and are very close to him, instead of other dummies, such as the corresponding images of some Major Arcana cards in dreams?"

"It's indeed doubtful." Franca and Janna both nodded slowly.

Lumian then added:

“I mainly want to make one point. At this stage, we should focus on observation, supplemented by analyzing the contents of the materials and the information we have collected. We must absolutely not contact Mr. Fool, and we must also try not to contact the people around Mr. Fool. The closer they are to Mr. Fool, the more we must not contact them.”

“But if we don’t make contact, how can we conduct further investigations? How can we confirm the identity of Tianzun? How can we wake up Mr. Fool step by step?” Franka asked.

Lumian smiled and said:
"It's just that we won't have any contact at this stage. Once we have completed the observation work, we will have contact with a purpose and plan, which is also a test."

"Test..." Janna and Franca vaguely grasped Lumian's thoughts.

Just as they were about to ask further questions, the cold dishes were already prepared and placed on their table along with a few bottles of beer.

After the waiter left, Franka picked up the chopsticks, easily opened the bottle cap, and poured a glass for everyone except Ludwig.

Children can only drink soda and dairy products!

Franka tapped the glass filled with golden wine on the table and said with a smile:
"The past cannot be retrieved, the future is unknown, so let's cheers for the fact that we are all still together and can enjoy life now!"

Lumian smiled and shook his head, but still clinked glasses with Franca, Janna and Anthony. Then he tilted his head back and gulped down the glass of beer.

Franca finished drinking first and wiped her mouth. She saw Lumian's Adam's apple moving and a little bit of wine seeping out of the corner of his mouth. She was stunned for a moment:
"MD, why do I think his Adam's apple moving is sexy...

"Is this the 'demon man'?"

Anthony glanced at Franca and Janna who were drinking heartily and their unconscious little movements, then looked at the men and women around them who were looking at them and Lumian in secret, sighed quietly, and tried to make himself less noticeable.

Ludwig quickly started eating cold dishes such as pork with mashed garlic, cold pork head, shredded ear with red oil, smashed cucumber, and mixed shredded vegetables.

Lumian took out an inconspicuous mirror from his pocket and placed it on the corner of the table.

Franka quickly recovered and refilled the beer glasses of every team member, except the children.

She raised her glass again and said:

"Cheers to the past experiences and to the future hopes!"

The enthusiastic tone and high emotions made Janna and Lumian a little tipsy, and Anthony also felt like he was back in the military camp.

Amid the crisp sound of collision, they temporarily cast aside their inner depression and worries about the mission, and just enjoyed the present, this moment.

…………

Inside the rental house.

"Six hundred yuan worth of food?" Janna asked with a little concern.

Just one meal consumed one tenth of the funds!
"It's not expensive actually. This guy counts as 10 people or even more, and we've been drinking." Franca waved her hand, "It's okay, I'll get a few more small loans as a backup, and you guys can get one each. We have to go out and buy some T-shirts, casual pants, jeans, and sneakers later. How about taking some time to go to the wholesale market tomorrow?"

At this time, what’s the point of talking about brand, style, and design? Cost-effectiveness is the most important thing!
Lumian took out the few remaining food items from the Traveler's Bag due to the reduced space, and placed them on the dining table while saying:
"Ludwig also needs to be fed. He needs to eat every two to three hours."

"Yes." Franca pointed to the room, "Anthony, you choose first."

Anthony did not hesitate to choose the smallest bedroom which was not on the same side as the other two.

Franka turned to Lumian and said:

"You're taking Ludwig to sleep in the master bedroom?"

"Let's put him in the second bedroom. Apart from his big appetite, he's a normal kid in other aspects. It won't be crowded if he sleeps in the second bedroom." Lumian knew that one of his tasks was to keep an eye on Ludwig and prevent this guy from escaping from the dream prematurely out of fear and refusing to come back.

"Okay, Janna and I will sleep in the master bedroom." Franca smiled.

In the following period, she borrowed a total of 10,000 yuan in small loans, 3,000 yuan each from Lumian, Janna and Anthony.

After doing this, Franka put down her phone with great willpower, turned on the light, and carefully read the information about Mr. Fool that she had only quickly glanced at before. Lumian and others each took a seat and also read very attentively.

Before I knew it, the night was getting darker.

Ludwig's cry of hunger again brought them back to their senses and they stopped reading and communicating.

“Even if I just read the information about Mr. Fool provided by the Major Arcana, I feel like my head is foggy and I am gradually losing myself... Is this the status of a great being?” Lumian carefully evaluated his previous state and said solemnly, “Next time you study this information, don’t study it for more than half an hour at a time.”

He raised his right hand, rubbed his forehead, and found that his spiritual energy was also greatly consumed.

"Hmm." Franca stood up and looked out the window. "Let's go to Mr. Fool's neighborhood to have a barbecue. Although Mr. Fool doesn't come out for a midnight snack every day, at least we can observe the people who often hang out around the neighborhood."

Janna was about to respond when she suddenly glanced at the view outside the balcony.

She walked over subconsciously, looking outside the community and across the street.

Those bright or warm lights shone out from countless windows in the buildings, like the Milky Way in the sky falling to the ground, but with a little more human touch.

This night view is more vast and dreamy than that of Trier and New Silver City, and seems to carry more dreams.

Lumian also stared intently for a while until Ludwig pulled on the sleeve of his shirt.

"Let's go." He retracted his gaze and walked towards the door.

Franca said to Janna:

"Let's go find a tall building with a good view and watch it later."

After leaving the community, they followed the map and went around to the outside of the community where Mr. Fool lived. They randomly chose a barbecue stall and observed the people and things around them inconspicuously.

As soon as the roast beef arrived, Franka noticed that Lumian's eyes were fixed in one direction for a long time without moving.

"What's wrong?" she asked confused.

Lumian pointed in that direction with his chin:
"I saw the angel."

A messenger of God? Franca and Janna looked over and saw a gangster-like man with burnt eyebrows and hair.

The man was holding a stack of leaflets.

"God's Envoy Danitz?" Janna asked as if to confirm.

Lumian nodded slowly:
"I don't know if it's a projection of consciousness or a dummy in a dream..."

As if he had sensed their gaze, Mr. Fool's divine messenger Danitz suddenly turned around and looked over.

Then, he quickly walked to Lumian and the others, glanced at Ludwig, and said with a smile:

"Would you like to know more about the Dream Tuition Center?"

Cram school…Ludwig’s pupils suddenly dilated.

Click!
He bit off the skewer.
