Chapter 5: Minor Arcana (please ask for a guaranteed monthly ticket at the beginning of the month)
Jenna told the three "Purifiers" that when she and Ciel were investigating the "hotel", they encountered the cyborg monk from the Deep Valley Monastery underground and found that he was carrying a pile of paints and brushes. After further exploration, the two
People encountered the collapse of the tunnel in an earthquake-like movement, and fell directly into the world in the painting.
"You just fell into the world of the painting?" Imre interrupted Jenna's story in disbelief.
Isn't this too coincidental?
What a coincidence that even those best-selling authors dare not write like this!
Valentine whispered to himself: "Is it a miracle sent by God?"
"Yes, I felt unbelievable at the time." Jian Na faithfully restored her state when she first saw the market area in the painting.
Angoulême pressed down his right hand, signaling Imre and Valentine not to ask further questions, allowing Chelia Bello to continue speaking.
Jenna focused on Safaree and Gabrielle's description of the situation in the "hostel", her and Ciel's desperate run, and the attacks by the two goblins and other "rooms".
After determining what "hotel" and "room" represented and what their significance was, Valentine's heart moved, he fell into deep thought, and came up with a certain association: "Each 'room' has a 'guest', which is equivalent to the body inside the body."
It hides powerful power and can leak some of it...
"Where have I seen this state before..."
Pictures and pieces of information flashed through Valentine's mind. He raised his head suddenly and interrupted Jenna's story again: "What is Ciel's true identity?"
When the "Purifier" issued the wanted order, they already knew that Charles Dubois was a false identity created by the Savoie Party for that guy. The staff of the Police Headquarters are currently interrogating the arrested members of the Savoie Party. Look at them.
Do you know the origin of Charles Dubois?
Jian Na understood that the wanted Charles could no longer hide his true identity, so she weighed it briefly and said with a slight smile: "You don't know?"
"His original name is Lumian Li. He is also a wanted criminal. He comes from the village of Kordu in the south."
Lumian Li... Valentine's eyelids twitched, and he realized that his guesses and suspicions were right.
Jenna glanced at him and "explained" softly: "Char joined the Savoyard Party and the 'Iron-Blooded Cross' just to obtain resources, improve himself, and seek revenge on those evil gods. In this case, he used
He played a very important role. If it weren't for his investigation, the 'Hotel Ceremony' would not have been advanced and the disaster would have been even more serious.
"Although he always said that this was to kill those gifted by the evil god, I know that after experiencing a disaster, he did not want to see other innocent people suffer similar things."
Valentine's expression gradually relaxed, and he did not hide his regret and relief.
He sighed and said: "He is indeed a devout believer in God, but it is a pity that fate and the evil ones pushed him into darkness."
Devout believer... I'm afraid you have some unnecessary misunderstandings about Ciel... Jenna muttered a few words silently.
After Angoulême heard this, he smiled self-deprecatingly: "I didn't expect that the person who prevented last night's disaster from getting bigger was a wanted criminal, a member of an evil organization.
"You can be a hero even if you don't stand in the light."
Jenna quite agreed with this evaluation. She did not mention that the goblins called Lumian "Room 1." She just said that in order to escape from the world in the painting, after the sun rose, they entered the room corresponding to the Breeze Ballroom.
That darkness magically appeared in the wilderness outside Trier in the Fourth Age.
She put the collapsed gray-white stone pillars, the giant figure in the distance, General Philip who was pretending to be dead, the black statue of the "Original Witch", Gardner Martin in the mirror, the terrifying roar, the falling sun, the red sky, the falling
The "Purifiers" were told about the fire and rain, etc., but they did not elaborate on the details of the battle.
Angoulême and others also tacitly agreed not to ask - for wild Beyonders, those things that obviously contain important information are intelligence that can be sold for money, but their own abilities and fighting methods must be kept secret.
"Finally, we got the statue and the fragments left by Gardner in the mirror, left the seal, and returned to the normal underground." There is no real connection between the first half of Jenna's sentence and the second half of the sentence, but so
Putting them together, it will definitely make people think that this is the reason why they can escape from the fourth era of Trier.
"The complexity of the matter is beyond imagination, and it involves a very high level of power..." Angoulême sighed in a low voice.
They had no way of knowing what happened to the sun that rose from the Sacred Heart Monastery last night, nor did they understand why it fell into the seal of Trier in the Fourth Age. They felt that it should be related to the battle at the angelic level.
"Where is the statue and the mirror fragment?" Valentine asked eagerly.
"Give it to Franca." Jenna said, really unable to tell the truth. Long Angoulême nodded slightly: "Where is the full-body armor?"
This is related to the death of two of his former colleagues.
Of course, Gardner Martin's death as a result can be regarded as "revenge" being successful.
"The magic mirror divination said that there is a terrible curse of betrayal. What happened to Gardner Martin is proof. None of us dared to take it, so we finally placed it with Charles." Even now, even if it is a "witch", Jane
Na also felt that the curse was too outrageous and exaggerated.
Angouleme was silent for a moment and said: "If you meet Charles again, tell him that you can sell us that set of armor."
After Jenna nodded in agreement, the "Purifier" deacon said seriously: "The information you provided is very important. What kind of reward do you want?"
"The recipe and all the ingredients for the magic potion of Joy." Jenna replied with the idea of offering a high price first and then slowly asking for it.
This comes from her years of bargaining experience.
Angoulême glanced at the "witch" and said, "Are you also planning to leave the market area?"
"Yes." Jenna smiled sadly and self-deprecatingly, "Witches will bring disaster. I don't want to affect the people here. No wonder the witches in the story always live in the dark forest, far away from the crowd, but I
I will come back occasionally and will still be your informant, and you can continue to contact me through the agreed method."
Her slightly sad smile made Imre instinctively want to avert his eyes for fear of falling in.
"After we confirm the authenticity of your information, we will help you apply for the formula and materials of 'Happiness'. I can't guarantee whether it will be successful or not. We cannot decide for ourselves on items of this level and must obtain permission from the higher-ups.
"Angoulême made a promise and did not counter-offer.
After bidding farewell to the "Purifier", Jenna carried her suitcase and took a carriage to Franka's safe house in the Memorial Hall area.
After settling herself down, she thought for a while and decided to go to the Church of the Fool at Lavigne Pier to thank this great being for answering her prayers and allowing Ciel to enter the world of paintings to provide help.
This was also the beginning of her official belief in Mr. Fool.
In that simple church with clear windows and good lighting, Jenna sat on the edge of the last row of chairs, closed her eyes, clasped her hands, put them on her chest, lowered her head and began to pray.
In the tranquility of a religious place, she seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep, her mind empty and just praising.
Vaguely, she felt someone sitting next to her.
Jenna ignored it and focused on her prayers.
After a few minutes, she opened her eyes and saw a petite lady beside her who was also praying.
The lady had shoulder-length yellow hair, wearing trousers that were easy to move around, a masculine shirt, and a small tan coat.
Although she has her eyes closed, it can be seen from the side that the outline of her eyebrows and the lines of her mouth and nose are quite delicate. Although she is not tall, she has a calm and majestic temperament.
Aware of Jian Na's casual gaze, the lady opened her eyes, turned her head and smiled: "Jian Na?"
"Yes... you are?" Jenna was confused and wary, but she felt that there should be no danger in Mr. Fool's church.
The lady who looked obviously younger introduced herself: "I am the 'Two of Cups', which is Franca's Major Arcana card, 'Judgment'.
"I went to Mr. Fool's church to pray today. I didn't expect to meet you. This may be fate. How about you, do you want to draw a Minor Arcana card?"
Sensing the kindness in the other party's tone, Jian Na nodded in that aura that made people unconsciously convincing and said, "I'm very happy, Ms. Judgment."
If it were another Major Arcana card, she would still be instinctively worried and scared. After all, they were completely unfamiliar strong men. But for the two ladies "Judgement" and "Magician", she had already heard about Franka and Lumian.
As I said, there is natural goodwill and trust.
"Judgement" took out a stack of tarot cards from the black pouch hanging on his waist, cut them randomly a few times, and handed them over with a smile: "Pick them out."
Jian Na was inexplicably nervous, and after looking at it for a long time, she stretched out her right hand and drew a Minor Arcana card.
As far as her eyes could see, she saw seven cups floating in the clouds on the card, with skull heads and people looking at them below.
"Seven of Holy Grails." Ms. "Judgment" laughed, "This represents confusion, confusion, dreams, illusions and choices. Of course, this is not important. What is important is that the two 'witches' of our 'Tarot Society'
All the cards I drew turned out to be Holy Grail cards."
As she spoke, she took out another tarot card. On the front was an angel blowing a trumpet to guide the souls of the dead.
Major Arcana card, "Judgment"!
"You keep this card. When you encounter a danger that you cannot cope with, take it out and recite 'Request for Judgment' in Hermetic. As long as I am still in Trier, I can help. Of course, when you request, you
It must also be in Trier, well, except for places like Trier in the Fourth Age, I can't hear it." Ms. "Judgment" said in a calm tone.
"Thank you, Ms. Judgment." Janna took the Major Arcana card and said sincerely.
"Judgment" nodded and said: "What you need to do now is to cooperate with the 'Holy Cup Two' to carry out the mission of the Witch Sect, but the direction is different. You need to avoid the Witch Sect and investigate those special mirror worlds, the Fourth Age
The fallen 'disaster witch' Crimsonne is the entry point.
"She is the child of the 'Original Witch', so she is a natural female and a pure female witch. This is the same as you."
