Lumian had always thought that the lizard-like elf was a certain thing, or a projection of something in a dream, and that its symbolic and metaphorical significance was greater than reality.
But now, he really saw the lizard-like creature in the transparent lake!
It really exists!
Moreover, it also appeared in the "other world", in the deep pit left by the "Tree of Shadows", and in this abnormal event involving high-end power!
Aurore crawled out of her mouth. The lizard just now couldn't be a real thing, could it?
What exactly does it represent and what purpose does it want to achieve?
Lumian frowned and his expression was slightly distorted. His whole person was in pain, shock, confusion, and withdrawal.
Stimulated by this, he felt that he should be able to retrieve some memories to verify the authenticity and determine whether it was a symbolic representation in the dream or something that really existed in reality. But this time, he was not like when he received psychotherapy and after listening to
After Mrs. Pualis's words, the corresponding picture flashed in his mind, and what he remembered was still that dream.
At this moment, the majestic voice of Thermipolos sounded in his ears: "You don't really think that all the abnormalities and misfortunes that happen around you are caused by me, do you? You don't think that just because of
The sealed me and you, who only have Sequence 7 strength, can successfully escape from Susanna Mattis, who is close to a demigod and has a backhand, with a weapon that barely reaches the Sequence 5 level? You wouldn’t think that
The failure of Susanna Matisse was simply because she was an evil spirit, extreme, extreme, impatient, and held the ceremony without sufficient preparation. Is there no other reason?"
These words poured into Lumian's mind in an overlapping and resonant manner, allowing him to understand them clearly in a short period of time.
Lumian was stunned for a moment, feeling as if he were entering winter from early summer, and slowly sinking into an unfrozen glacial lake.
He blurted out: What on earth is that?
Thermipolos did not respond, as if he noticed something and understood something.
In an instant, Lumian felt ecstasy in his heart, and felt that the heavy boulder pressing on him suddenly disappeared: "Does this mean that Aurore was really killed by that weird lizard-like creature?
Controlled? So, when she occasionally wakes up, she will not feel that there is anything wrong with herself and seek help from the outside world with me? No, she should have realized that something was wrong at that time. The correct reading order of the letter is: We are getting more and more
It’s getting weirder and people around here need help ASAP!”
At this time, Franka pushed Lumian: "Why are you in a daze? Quick, let's get out of here, the official Beyonders and clergy are coming in!"
Lumian came back to his senses, and with the charred clothes stuck to his body, he took the trunk that came from the main body of the "Tree of Shadows" instead of the trunk made by Susanna later, followed Franka, and headed towards the other side of the street.
Run to the end.
During this process, he suddenly figured out two more things: "Thermipolous, as the angel of fate, has just shown his insight into various issues. It is impossible to imagine that Susanna Matisse will use me as
The main body, without undoing the seal, also gave her to the Mother Tree of Desire as a sacrifice. She was not a newcomer to the world of occultism like me! Therefore, she never thought from the beginning that she would wait to be sealed by Susanna.
The ending that Matisse opened up, the reason why she said that, was purely to use the situation to bluff me, to force me to ask her for help, to agree to some of the unequal conditions she proposed, and to create opportunities for her to truly get out of trouble. What she didn't expect was that
I would choose to bluff Susanna Matisse, so as to force her to provide help based on the information provided by the other party. No, she must have thought about this possibility, but she will not lose anything if she gives it a try.
Didn't you have the corresponding quick wit at that time? Damn, it's so insidious! You will be deceived by her if you are not careful!" Similarly, Susanna Matisse is not an honest person.
Since she had sought enlightenment from the "Mother Tree of Desire" and thought that there might be an angel sealed in my body, how could she not consider the possibility that that angel could convey some power through the seal? She did so later.
When the prayer arrived, it was powerful enough to resist the leaked influence of Vulmibolos, and it was even stronger. I didn't even see it at the time, it was still far away, and I was almost contaminated.
If he hadn't escaped from the "Tree of Shadows" in time, being contaminated would have been an inevitable outcome.
Why didn't Suzanne Mattis seek help from the beginning?
Is it because that kind of pollution is dangerous for her too?
Well, although something went wrong during the ceremony in Kordu Village, the priest, as the host of the ceremony, was protected by the power of fate and did not become a monster or part of the three-headed giant like others.
Successfully escaped.
Susanna Matisse also wanted to use the protection of sacrificial rituals to fight against pollution?
"So, she has been stalling for time, waiting for the preparations for the ceremony to be completed! She didn't target me and control me from the beginning because she knew that pushing too hard would cause Thermipolos to join the corresponding battle in advance.
, there would be too many unknowns.”
"So, she was always trying to give me an illusion of being able to resist and hope to escape. When I took the initiative to bring up the angel thing, she used a bunch of words that seemed to have said all the arrangements to delay time and hide
The real backup plan is waiting to be obtained. Termipolos helped me make the wrong choice and step into the trap she set.
Although she did not expect the attack of Montsuri's ghost, if there had not been changes in the outside world and someone had taken advantage of the gap created by Montsuri's ghost, I still would not have been able to escape from the inside of the Tree of Shadows, and she was obviously about to officially open it.
The ceremony was protected.
grass!
Beautiful actors can indeed deceive people!”
After Lumian and Franka ran for a while, their eyes suddenly became unreal, with various dense color blocks and various indescribable weird creatures appearing layered together.
His head suddenly became dizzy and his vision blurred.
When he regained his vision, there was no longer a chaotic street in front of him, and there was no longer a block of rich colors.
He stood on a grassy hillside, opposite a "magician" lady wearing an orange dress.
She's here too!
Lumian glanced left and right, but did not find Franka's figure.
As if aware of Lumian's doubts, Ms. Magician smiled and said: "The Two of Cups followed her Major Arcana card and wanted to exchange some things."
"Two of Holy Grails?" Lumian looked confused.
"That's Franka. She is also one of us. Her code name is the Two of Cups, just like you are the Seven of Wands."
Ms. Magician explained casually, "You have officially joined us now. You can talk to the Two of Cups later and ask her to introduce the situation of our organization. I won't go into details."
Is Franka not only a member of the Curly Baboon Research Society, but also a member of the secret organization codenamed Tarot Cards?
Lumian was surprised, but also a little happy.
This means that he and Franka are teammates in the true sense.
Ms. "Magician" looked carefully and saw that Lumian still had a charred face and a body covered in pieces. She took out a simple brown men's formal suit from somewhere and threw it away: "Change into it later."
Well, although it is not a big news that Trier people are naked and running on the streets, as a human being you cannot be completely assimilated by the environment. You must know how to stick to yourself. Only in this way can you resist the erosion of the magic medicine and stay away as much as possible.
Risk of loss of control.”
After Lumian caught the clothes, the magician lady said thoughtfully: "Tell me in detail what happened recently. Although I knew that you would encounter followers of the evil god and have entanglements with them, I did not foresee that you would."
Directly, get involved in things of this level. "Lumian first arrived in Trier and used the "Dance of Photography" to attract Susanna Matisse. He focused on the sacrifice just now and talked about Thermi.
Boros' performance and that weird lizard-like creature.
Ms. "Magician" listened, her expression became a little solemn. When Lumian finished speaking, she nodded slightly and said: "It's very abnormal. Whether it is Termipolos or the "elf", neither
normal."
She looked at Lumian and said in a straightforward tone: "Inside the Tree of Shadow, it was not Termipoulos who helped increase the ability of the fallen mercury and caused the ghost of Monsuli to arrive in advance."
"Not her?" Lumian had just guessed where Ms. "Magician" would find the problem, but he never expected that she would bring up such a clear thing first.
In that situation, who else but Thermipolos could be there?
Moreover, it was indeed after the fateful angel compromised that subsequent changes took place.
"I don't know either."
"Ms. Magician" shook her head slowly, "What I am sure of is that the seal of that great being cannot allow Thermipolos to penetrate such a high-level power. If she could, she would have controlled it long ago. Please help her."
The seal has been lifted." Lumian was confused and confused.
Ms. "Magician" further said: "What Thermipolos can do is only influence your judgment and choices. After all, she is sealed in your body, and your fates are connected to some extent. To put it simply, she is sealed in your body.
In other words, regarding the matter of Charlie, Termipoulos had no way to let Susanna Matisse recover in advance, and could not decide when and how she planned to come to find Charlie. She could only use this matter to
Let you have the intention to use the magic of transshipment to help Charlie change his destiny and improve the corresponding tendency. From this point of view, do you think she has the ability to improve the ability to corrupt mercury and let the ghost of Montsuri arrive in time? Help you bear the responsibility
The past scenes of the Tree of Shadows are okay. Therefore, what I have always said is that on matters that are both critical and dangerous, seek my opinion in advance instead of making decisions on your own."
Lumian's heart felt like a sea, turbulent and ups and downs.
He revisited the incident of Charlie being taken underground by Rentas, and found that it was indeed as "the magician lady said: Charlie's bloody disaster and death fate came from two aspects, one was the danger given by the "Blissful Society" through Rentas, and the other
It was Lumian's own choice at the node of destiny. Therefore, after Rentas was killed by them, Charlie's luck only improved a little. When Lumian made the right decision, it completely returned to normal. There was no trial.
Mibolus exerts more traces of his influence.
If she could influence Charlie the same way she influenced the Montsuri ghost, Lumian would most likely have been fooled.
"Furthermore, Susanna Matisse knows that Termipoulos can exert a certain influence, so why did she still want to capture me alive when she was in such a weak state after leaving the Tree of Shadows, with the indirect help of angels?
Unless, after the battle inside the Tree of Shadow, Susanna Matisse, who has gained some divinity with the help of the Tree of Shadow, has discovered that Termipoulos cannot exert influence and is perfectly sealed. There is another source of the problem!
And the source did not come out! Damn it! What I was thinking at the time was that even if my judgment was wrong or the exchange of fate would take a long time, Termipoulos would not let Susanna Matisse capture me alive. That way she
She will become a sacrifice, who knows, she has no ability at all!"
Lumian substituted his speculation into what happened just now and got a more reasonable explanation.
"What on earth is going on?" he asked with a little pain and anger.
Ms. "Magician" thought for a few seconds and said: "Combined with those misfortunes, I suspect that Thermipolos has helpers from the outside world. In other words, there may be an extraordinary person lurking around you who can affect your destiny.
The idea conveyed by Boros accomplishes something covertly, but not so much that it will be discovered."
A word suddenly flashed through Lumian's mind: "Victim!"
In the dream, he and the Laien team broke into the underground altar and got the aura of "victims"!
The owl and the other "him" in the wizard's tomb always gave him the feeling of the source of the problem and the manipulator behind it before being exposed.
