Lumian withdrew his thoughts from Roche Louise Sanson, "Spiritualism", "April Fool's Day" and other matters, and started from the beginning according to Franka's request:
"During the disaster in Kordu Village, I was also contaminated by the Evil God of Fate. Fortunately, Mr. Fool protected me, so I was able to maintain my sanity and not turn into a monster.
"That pollution is both a curse and a gift. I am now following the guidance of Ms. Magician, extracting them bit by bit in stages, turning them into my own power, and achieving balance through the extraordinary characteristics of the corresponding sequence."
Franka suddenly realized:
"What you call a special contract is the power of the 'contractee'? No wonder you said I can't learn it no matter what."
Lumian didn't know what the power of Sequence 6 of the "Destiny" path was, so she speculated that the opponent was now a dual Sequence 7 of "arsonist" and "recipient of contract".
Lumian nodded:
"That's why Guillaume Benet doesn't dare to replace or change my destiny at will. The level of pollution in my body is quite high."
"If Mr. Fool can provide blessings, he must be divine." Franka suddenly thought, "Do you think it is possible for me to get some gifts?"
Do you want to try everything? Lumian said with a "tsk":
"Are you going to find the 'Great Mother' and repeat the process of pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding every day, or are you going to believe in the 'Mother Tree of Desire' and drag all the wild dogs on the roadside to your bed?"
"Hiss..." Franka took a breath and said, "I just said it casually, I will definitely not do such a dangerous thing as believing in the evil god. If I want to be like you, I will gain the power of the evil god immediately after being exposed to it.
Mr. 'Fool''s blessing is rare but cannot be sought."
"This is not a simple contact." In order to dispel Franka's unrealistic thoughts, Lumian revealed a little more, "The power of fate is sealed in my body. In other words, I am asking the 'Fool'
'Sir, pray for blessings from the pollution in your body, rather than the existence in the name of fate. Only in this way can you ensure the most basic safety. Otherwise, you don't know when you will become another person or die suddenly."
Franka exhaled instinctively and said, "You should talk about the 'Humha Art'."
Lumian reorganized the words and said:
"In order not to be indirectly affected by the existence in the name of fate, I gave up the weird creatures in the knowledge that came with the gift, and asked Ms. Magician for a batch of information on spiritual world creatures. You also know what happened next.
"
"The Art of Humha comes from a spiritual creature that I summoned. I originally wanted to summon the 'Screaming Shadow', but I don't know if it was because I prayed to Mr. Fool and asked him to witness it, or if it was designed by me.
The summoning spell was not accurate enough, and a ghost came that was completely different from the description of the 'Screaming Shadow'..."
Lumian explained the corresponding summoning spell, design ideas, the specific appearance of the armored shadow, and other abilities in detail, and even made a schematic diagram using his barely passing drawing ability.
Fish scale armor..."Humha Art"..."Ten Thousand Ghosts Walking in the Night"..."Soul-eating Roar"... Franka looked at the picture on the coffee table, muttering to herself, and her eyes lost focus.
Lumian asked tentatively: "Is there any problem with this?"
If it were Aurore, would there be a similar reaction?
Franka suddenly came back to her senses, and said with a solemn and excited expression:
"That 'Armor Shadow' is probably from our world!"
"That world of yours?" Lumian didn't expect such an answer. "
However, this seems very reasonable. The shadow's armor shape and ability names are very unique and different from the current world.
Franka said "hmm":
"There are many countries in our world, and each country's culture and language are different, and the 'Armored Shadow' is very similar to certain images in the myths and legends of my and your sister's country."
"You and Aurore belong to the same country?" Lumian is most concerned about this point. "
He paused and said:
"It was Mr. Fool's power combined with my imprecise incantation that summoned the Armored Shadow from your world, or was it that he, like you, traveled long ago and became a ghost in the spiritual world after his death? film?"
Franka said with excitement and anticipation:
"If it is the former, it means that a connection can be established between the two worlds. In that case, it is really possible for us to go home! If it is the latter, why can he use the abilities of the original world? Is it his own? Did you learn it later?"
Unraveling these mysteries will bring her closer to the truth about time travel and find her way home!
Having said this, Franka stood up and looked at Lumian with bright eyes and said:
"Can you summon the 'Armored Shadow' and let me see it?"
"There is a contract between me and him. It is true that I can summon him accurately without praying to Mr. Fool." Lumian saw Franka's excited face and seemed to want to get started directly and help decorate the altar. The conversation changed, "But I think he is very dangerous. It's good to have Mr. Fool's protection. If not, we might be killed directly by him. But if we are under the protection of Mr. Fool, we can't fight with him." He can communicate, let alone channel, and can only simply complete the summoning ritual."
Franka frowned in disappointment: "What should we do?"
Lumian thought and said:
"When I collect all 100,000 ferkin's gold and fulfill the contract.
"That way, the power of the contract will provide protection, and we can see what the Armored Shadow does with all that gold."
Franka pondered for dozens of seconds, exhaled and said:
"That's all we can do for the time being."
What she originally wanted to do was to quickly confirm the problem of "Armored Shadow", get useful information from him, and then go to the "Curly Baboon Research Association" to report the situation, so that everyone could work together to find a way to work together, but now she can only postpone it for a while.
After the two communicated about the summoning spell for a while, they confirmed that the success rate of Franka's summons was very low because it was not accurate enough. The one that came might be the "Screaming Shadow", and Lumian could draw it away.
One of the descriptions was replaced with "Lumian Lee's contracted creature" to accurately point to the target.
After a while, Jenna came back with coffee, snacks and meat pies, allowing Lumian and Franka, who were already very hungry after a battle, to enter afternoon tea mode.
As evening approached, Anthony Reed, dressed as a clerk, returned to Apartment 601, No. 3, White Coat Street.
"How is it?" Lumian did not hide his concern at all.
Anthony took off his old hat, nodded gently and said:
"I followed the lady, her housekeeper, valet, maid, and coachman all the way to No. 20 Terrace Street in the Library District.
"It seems to be another residence for them, a place similar to a safe house."
"Do you want to watch?" Franka looked at Lumian.
Lumian considered it for a few seconds and said with a smile:
"No, just check to see if they have moved out every once in a while."
"Why?" Jenna thought that Charles would be eager to deal with those people and obtain more information.
Lumian smiled brightly:
"Behind them is an organization called the 'Sinners'. The contact person should have discovered the death of Guillaume Benet and proactively cut off the contact, eliminating the clues and making it difficult to trace it again.
"But if the 'Sinner' organization discovers that those people have indeed escaped tracking and are not being monitored, what will happen?
“Maybe reconnect!
"Only by truly not monitoring can that lady convince the 'Sinner' organization that the matter is over, become active again, and crawl out of her own rat hole!"
"Fuck..." Jenna cursed almost silently.
Ciel is so insidious!
Because Anthony brought substantial gains, he took two-thirds of the final 15,000 ferkin, while Jenna only received 5,000.
After rolling up the banknotes and putting them into different pockets on his body, Anthony Reed looked at Lumian and said:
"What I hope more is to start investigating the secret behind Hugues Artois and the truth about the original betrayal as soon as possible."
This was the main reason why he agreed to participate in this operation.
"Okay." Lumian has already communicated this matter with Jenna and Franka.
Jenna will be responsible for finding the "Purifier" to get the corresponding information.
Because of the "Armor Shadow" incident, Franka was in a state of high excitement and took the initiative to make suggestions:
"I know some Loen friends. I'm trying to see if I can get the records of that battle from the Loen military and see what they said."
"This is a very good idea." Anthony Reed's eyes lit up after hearing this.
He had never thought about getting the truth from his attacker before.
On a chaotic night that could never be quiet, Lumian, who had left the ritual details to Franca's divination spells, walked towards the "Golden Rooster Hotel", intending to summon Ms. "Magician"'s messenger to bring Guillaume Benet,
Mention the matter of "Sinner" organization and "Armor Shadow", and ask them to tell Ms. "Justice" and Ms. "Susie" that they can have their last psychological treatment.
Under the cool night breeze, Lumian's thoughts slowly dispersed.
After learning from Franka what the members of the Curly Baboon Research Society had in common, the impression of his sister Aurore became clearer in his mind.
Of course, those ambiguities were things he didn't understand originally, but felt it didn't matter and there was no need to explore the reasons.
"No wonder Aurore left her original family and lived in the border village of Kordu. No wonder she refused to go to Trier. No wonder she always said some strange words and liked to explain to me what they meant.
No wonder hers is different from the original popular one. No wonder she likes to talk about 'A certain philosopher in my hometown once said', and often changes it to 'Emperor Russell once said'..." Lumian
In the silent sigh, my mood became calm inexplicably, as if the place I was strolling was not a random street, but the village of Kordu.
The place he can never go back to.
At the same time, Lumian had his own understanding of some symbolic elements in the dream:
"The land that Aurore bought was once occupied by a dead wizard. Does it mean that she took over Roche Louise Sanson's body?
"Then the legendary dead wizard Roche Louise Sanson represents the earliest believer in destiny?"
Because these two symbolic meanings lacked key information before, Mr. "Poet" did not interpret them, but just told Lumian that they should also have their own meanings.
While his thoughts were wandering, Lumian returned to room 207 and saw a simple folded letter on the table.
Letter? This doesn't look like it belongs to Ms. "Magician"... Lumian walked over in shock and doubt, picked up the letter, and unfolded it.
There are two lines of beautiful Intis written on it:
