Chapter 707: Fragments of Destiny (please ask for a guaranteed monthly ticket)
Time passed by minute by second, and the reporters waiting outside the conference hall were not impatient or dissatisfied at all. They had experienced similar situations many times.
Finally, the heavy door of the Rose Conference Hall opened, and Moran Avni, the Minister of Industry with straight features, dark gray eyes, and gray hair, wearing a straight formal suit, walked out side by side with the leader of the Loen Kingdom delegation.
Click, click, the loud flash lights came on one after another, and Moran Avni waved to the reporters gracefully.
Lumian did not force his way to the front, but was hidden in the crowd, staring at Moran Avni from a distance of several meters.
Under the cover of the camera, his blue eyes quickly turned silver-black.
"Eye of Disaster"!
Within Lumian's field of vision, a mercury-silver river composed of illusory water droplets appeared on Moran Avni's body, and each drop of water was composed of complex symbols connected end to end.
Taking advantage of Moran Avni's brief speech, announcing that the Republic of Intis and the Kingdom of Loen had reached a series of cooperation agreements in the industrial field, Lumian carefully distinguished the past, present and future of the Minister of Industry.
Distinguish the fragment of destiny contained in every drop of river water.
There is a lot of blur here, and the further back in time it is, the harder it is to distinguish. Lumian focused on browsing the clips from the past two weeks.
He saw Moran Avni living in a special villa provided by the government, and saw that the Minister of Industry went to a fixed coffee shop every week to attend gatherings, discuss various things, and "lead by example" to show Trier's coffee shops
political trends.
Lumian also saw Morin Avni attending salons, balls, dinners, listening to operas, concerts, theaters, art exhibitions, playing polo and poker, going hunting in the suburbs, flirting with socialites, and having extramarital affairs with several women.
And used his identity to provide convenience for Intis Industrial Credit Bank, so that the husband of one of his lovers could become the deputy general manager of the bank's Southern Continent branch - that is a position that many people dream of pursuing, decent,
The salary is high and there is a lot of power. The only disadvantage is that you need to leave Trier and go to the Southern Continent for two or three years. At the beginning, you can't take your spouse and children with you.
This fits perfectly with Lumian's stereotype of upper-class Trier people.
During a quick review, Lumian skipped the vaguer parts and discovered two fragments of destiny worth noting:
One is that when Moran Avni was reading documents alone in the study, he suddenly wrote a note, and then put his hand into the mirror beside him. His hand seemed to have no entity, completely passing through it.
He opened the glass mirror and put the note in;
The other is that when Moran Avni was hunting in the Silogne Forest, he seemed to have had brief contact with a lost person. What attracted Lumian's attention was that this fateful fragment was filled with white and thin mist.
appears blurry.
This is somewhat different from the ambiguity of most other fate fragments.
The first destiny fragment confirmed Moran Avni's identity as the "man in the mirror" from another aspect. You must know that among the twenty-two "paths to God", the "witches" who are best at mirror magic are becoming the sequence
Before the 4 demigods, information and items could not be transmitted through mirrors, and if Moran Avni was a "witch" at the demigod level, he could not exist as a male.
For this situation, Lumian can only think of two possibilities:
1. The only one who is better at using mirrors than the "witches" and is more special in the field of mirror magic is the "man in the mirror"!
Second, Moran Avni was originally a demigod-level "witch", but later took a higher-sequence "Hunter" potion and successfully transformed into a male. This means that the Minister of Industry is at least a Sequence 3.
Saints, maybe even angels.
Combining the information previously collected by Franka and others, the information provided by "007" and a few relatively clear fragments of fate, Moran Avni has never shown characteristics related to "Hunter". Lumian believes that the other party is indeed
The "people in the mirror" are not ordinary "people in the mirror" without extraordinary abilities.
The second destiny fragment deserves Lumian's attention because it is relatively special and may contain some important information, but Lumian cannot decipher it yet.
He immediately focused his attention on the future destiny of Moran Avni, that is, the large number of tributaries of destiny.
Without any surprise, Lumian saw that one of them was dyed faintly black.
This tributary of destiny, whose background is mercury, is like many of its kind. The relatively clear part "rehearses" the process of Moran Avni returning to the building of the Ministry of Industry in a special carriage after accepting the interview. The difference is that,
After entering the minister's office and sitting there for a while, Moran Avni took the initiative to walk into the full-length mirror placed near the coat rack and disappeared.
Lumian cannot see the future.
He could only use what he had observed so far to infer that if Moran Avni walked into the mirror world before noon today, he would encounter a life-threatening disaster.
But the probability of Moran Avni doing this is low. Among so many tributaries of fate, only this one represents this possibility.
Of course, if Lumian is not afraid of being exposed now, he can indeed mobilize nearly half of his spirituality and use the ability of "promoting destiny" to force Moran Avni's future into that tributary of destiny, but this does not make any sense:
Moran Avni's death in the mirror world will only prevent them from accessing his body to complete the channeling!
"The 'Black Witch' should also be able to enter the mirror world, but if she is the channeler, we will not be able to obtain the corresponding information. Even if Franka has completely gained her trust, some things may not be certain.
Sequence, what should not be known will not be told..." Lumian saw Moran Avni gesture to end the interview, and his bodyguards began to squeeze out of the reporters, so he stopped using "
"Eye of Disaster", he took a black and white photo very playfully.
Then, he gradually withdrew from the ranks of reporters, went around the public restroom, stuffed the camera into the "traveler's bag", put on the "lie", and changed back to the appearance of Charles Dubois, and then
Entered the restaurant attached to the Champs Elysees Hotel as a guest.
Franca is waiting for him here.
When following the waiter to the reserved location, Lumian saw a man and a woman drinking coffee.
The woman has black hair and brown eyes, is beautiful, and has a slightly exaggerated temperament, which can be seen from her clothes, while the man is ordinary-looking, wearing a double-breasted flannel jacket and chicken-foot pattern trousers.
Snap-on leather boots and a soft-fur top hat have been a favorite among bankers and financiers in Trier in recent years.
Lumian noticed that this man and woman were not attracted by the aura of wealth, but because he knew the lady who was beautiful and had some foreign characteristics.
Of course, the other party didn't know him. He had only seen her photo in "Ghost Face" magazine:
She is Perle, a theater actress from Loen and a Trier socialite.
Duval, the inventor of Duval broth and the owner of a well-known restaurant, once spent a lot of money on her and even committed suicide because of her, but he failed.
At this time, Perle and the middle-aged man who seemed to be a banker had not yet started their meal, but were just drinking coffee.
The middle-aged man took the coffee cup that Perle had finished drinking and pointed at the remaining coffee grounds. He didn't know what he was explaining, but the social butterfly listened very attentively.
Relying on his excellent senses, Lumian listened briefly as he passed by, and soon understood that the middle-aged man who seemed to be a banker was playing divination with coffee grounds.
This is a divination method that is quite popular in upper class society and is closer to a game.
"The leftover coffee grounds you drink form a round shape, which means you have recently encountered signs of love..."
Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Lumian couldn't help but cursed:
"In the end, do you want to say that I am the love you are about to meet..."
If it were any other woman, even if she knew what the man across from her really meant, she would still be secretly shocked that her divination results pointed to traces of love, and felt that this might indeed be the guidance of fate - the natural formation of leftover coffee grounds.
Each state has a corresponding destiny revelation, and this is recognized by everyone, and there is no possibility of tampering with the rhetoric.
But considering that Perle is a senior socialite and has a bold style, Lumian has reason to believe that she took the initiative to make the remaining coffee grounds into a round shape through some way of drinking coffee!
After walking some distance, Lumian saw Franka.
This "Witch of Joy" was dressed very ladylike today and was very suitable for such an occasion. Lumian almost didn't dare to recognize her.
Of course, Franca still didn't wear a real long skirt, but wore a culottes instead.
Looking at Franka, whose hair was no longer a ponytail but elegantly tied up, Lumian chuckled and said:
"Jenna did your hair?"
"Yes!" Franka not only did not become angry, but she was also complacent.
Before the two of them could exchange their observations, a nearby waiter came over and handed them two identical menus.
"The lunch set is 7 fils gold. If you order it a la carte, plus a pretty good red wine, the two of us will have to eat at least 50 fils gold." Franka lowered her voice and said to Lumian in the ancient Fussac language.
, "In the market area, this can feed your godson."
She felt that the restaurant at the Champs Elysees Hotel was expensive, but she was also interested in giving it a try.
"Do you have any recommendations?" Franka asked the waiter in Intis.
The male waiter had been stealing glances at Franka. After hearing the question, he said very enthusiastically:
“Would you like to try the Felt fish?
"In Trier, except for certain private parties, we are the only place where you can eat Fürth fish."
"Is there anything special about it?" Lumian asked slightly curiously.
The waiter looked at Franka and said:
"The body of the Felt fish looks half-burnt. It can only be found in a certain section of the Trier underground river. It is said that a long time ago, it was normal. One day it was caught by a man named Felt.
He set up a frying pan by the underground river and prepared to fry it. Halfway through the frying, the fish actually found an opportunity, jumped out of the frying pan, jumped back into the river, and lived until it gave birth to many offspring.
All future generations will be half-burnt.
"The skin of this fish has a burnt aroma and oily texture, and the meat inside is very tender..."
The underground river in Trier...half-burnt...alive... Lumian extracted the key words, suddenly wondering if this could be caused by the leakage of the "Hunter" power in Trier in the Fourth Age.
