"We were 'traced behind the scenes'?" Franka recalled the whole thing carefully, and found nothing too abnormal. The only thing worth discussing is that the "Black Witch" should have a way to obtain the official extraordinary status.
She quickly "taken away" Moran Avni under the protection of the hunter team. After all, she was obviously able to make good use of the mirror world. As a result, she completely blamed this matter on herself.
Of course, this is completely understandable. Although the official Beyonder team protecting Moran Avni is only composed of mid-sequences, this is Trier, the capital of the Republic of Intis, and the Church of the "Eternal Blazing Sun."
The most important parish of the "God of Steam and Machinery" Church, there are countless demigods stationed there, who can cast their sights at any time. If the "Black Witch" fails to make a quick victory and kills everyone present, he will definitely suffer a lot in the future.
The influence has even been traced by official extraordinary people using certain special sealed objects.
If something happens to her, the branch of the Witch Cult in Trier will suffer a devastating blow. In this case, it is a more mature choice to let a member with a certain ability, neither a high nor a low position, take charge, and she will deal with the aftermath.
If things go wrong, she can decisively abandon Franka and her lovers.
Of course, this is all based on the fact that the importance of Moran Avni is not enough for the Witch Sect to be willing to pay a high price to deal with him. Otherwise, the Witch Sect will definitely evacuate irrelevant members in advance and use color as the code name for high positions.
The witches will also gather in Trier.
"I think there is a problem. It's not that we shouldn't give up or that we can't give up, but that we gave up too quickly and too early." Anthony gave his own opinion from a human perspective.
Franka nodded slightly and said:
"Also, the 'Black Witch' simply confirmed that no Beyonder was hiding behind the relevant mirror, and then thought that Moran Avni had been given up and would no longer provide help."
"This is too hasty and easy." Jenna commented.
She hesitated for a few seconds and said:
"Is Ms. Judgment also affected?"
"Maybe." Lumian looked down at his left chest.
He lowered his voice again and said:
"Thermipolos, why were you not affected? Is it because you have the status of an angel?"
The majestic voice of Thermipolos echoed in Lumian's body:
"Maybe, I'm not sure.
"It may also be caused by the seal of the 'Fool'. The seal is indeed a restriction, but it can also be a protection at certain times."
Just like the "godly" corpse of Napoli Disri? The "supervisor"'s "black-box transaction" cannot pass the seal of Mr. "Fool" and cannot affect Termipolos Lumian.
He nodded and said to Jenna:
"It is necessary to tell Ms. Judgment about our guess. If there is indeed a 'black-box transaction', she will definitely be able to get rid of the influence immediately after being reminded and give new suggestions. If not, it means the messenger has worked harder."
"Okay." Jenna understood what Lumian meant, "Although we suspect there is 'black-box trading', we will not act recklessly now. We still need new guidance from the Major Arcana cards."
While waiting for Ms. Judgment's reply, Franka said "Hey".
"What's wrong?" Jenna asked with concern.
Franka replied with a "sad and angry" look:
"This 'black-box transaction' was a big deal, and it affected at least two demigods. The 'supervisor' of the 'School of Truth' paid an unknown price and many valuable items for it."
Yes, that's true, but what does this have to do with you? Why are you feeling sad and angry? Jian Na blinked her eyes, a little unable to follow Franka's thoughts.
Franka continued:
"After Ms. Judgment catches him or kills him with our assistance, there won't be much loot left for us to distribute.
"Maybe he's a poor guy like Jebus again!"
For a moment, neither Lumian nor Jianna nor Anthony knew how to respond to Franka.
Does this make you feel sorry for the possible trophies in the future?
Lumian changed the topic, looked at Franka and Jenna and said:
"When I asked Jebus those last two questions, why did you lean toward me, anticipating that something was going to go wrong?"
"Of course, this is the witch's spiritual premonition." Franka said proudly, "Although I don't know what will happen, but after getting close to you, I will have more ways to deal with danger."
Jian Na nodded lightly, indicating that she was the same way.
Lumian looked at Anthony again:
"And you?"
Anthony replied calmly:
"I thought that Jebus would be stimulated by those two questions and get rid of the influence of hypnosis. Franka and Jenna's performance indirectly confirmed my worries.
"In that case, hiding behind you is a safer option."
"Are you using us as a shield together?" Franka laughed and cursed.
Anthony nodded sincerely:
"You have a 'mirror double'."
"That's right." Franka accepted this reason.
A few minutes later, Ms. "Judgement"'s messenger sent a reply.
The reply was very simple, just one sentence:
"You can continue to take action."
Does this mean that the Major Arcana cards are paying close attention to this matter? Have you communicated with Ms. Hermit? Lumian nodded thoughtfully, smiled and said to Franka and others:
"We will proceed as planned."
"Original plan?" Franka was startled.
"Yes." Lumian responded with a smile, "In the next few hours, or even within a day, the 'Supervisor' and other 'Men in the Mirror' will definitely not come to the study area of Moran Avni.
Behind the mirror provides protection for Moran Avni. This should be a prerequisite for the success of the 'black box transaction'. The 'Black Witch' has inspected those places, and the 'Supervisor' will not know what she will do.
When checking, you must leave enough time.
"That is to say, if we hide in that mirror, we will not be disturbed and there will be no danger."
Jian Na frowned slightly:
"But the point of the problem isn't that Moran Avni won't be able to enter that full-length mirror in the near future? How can he ambush..."
Speaking of this, Jian Na suddenly paused, as if she thought of a certain possibility.
Lumian's smile gradually brightened:
"That 'supervisor' can engage in 'black-box dealing,' and so can we!"
"Yes, the 'secret box of the powerful'!" Franka instantly understood what Lumian meant.
Using the "black box of the powerful", let Moran Avni find the "reason" to reconsider entering that full-length mirror!
As for how the "black-box operation" will make this kind of transaction successful, it is not something that I and others need to consider. Even the "supervisors" will most likely not know the details of the black-box transaction.
A camera obscura is also a black box!
After confirming the risk level with the help of "magic mirror divination", Lumian, Franka, Jenna and Anthony passed through the mirror world entrance fixed on the protruding rock and entered the mysterious and dark space.
Looking at the empty passages that lead to unknown directions and exist like spider webs, Lumian activated the "mirror mark" contract on his body.
He immediately said to Franka and others:
"It can sense the full-length mirror and can accurately position it."
"Then let's go there now." Franka put on the hood of the assassin suit again and grabbed Lumian's arm.
Although she has already worn the "mirror buckle", why waste an opportunity to use it when there are other options?
When Jenna and Anthony caught him again, Lumian activated the "Spirit World Travel" mark, and through one of the dark and void passages, he "teleported" to a deep and dark water.
The watery light represents a mirror, with corresponding blurred areas connected to countless illusory tunnels like spider webs.
Lumian leaned towards the dark and deep water and saw the scene outside through the glass mirror.
That is indeed Moran Avni's study.
Franka also recognized the target location, breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"I'm going to do 'black-box trading'."
"I'll do it." Lumian laughed, "With what happened before, even if I don't use the 'Powerful Person's Black Box', I will probably encounter some devils. If that's the case, why not use it happily?"
He was referring to matters related to Napoli Disri.
"Okay." Franka admitted that Lumian's words made sense, "Then I'll pay for it!"
She took out five thousand gold worth of gold from the "traveler's bag".
Lumian did not refuse and said to Jenna and others:
"The deal I want to complete is to get Moran Avni to have the idea of entering this full-length mirror in the study, and then use 'Push Destiny' to turn that idea into reality.
"This is much simpler than the transaction of directly letting Moran Avni enter this mirror, and the compensation required will definitely be less."
"Hmm." Jenna took out the "Powerful Person's Camera Obscura" from her backpack.
This dark, small wooden box can be used eight times.
Lumian held Franka's bag containing gold coins in his right hand and reached in through the leather-like "curtain".
Then, he touched his five wet and wrinkled fingers. They quickly closed them and grabbed the bag containing the gold coins.
Lumian's expression did not change at all, and he spoke his request in Hermes.
After a brief pause, the wrinkled and wet palm pushed back the bag containing the gold coins.
This... Lumian raised his head and told Franka and others about the situation.
"This means asking for more money!" Franka suddenly realized.
She distressedly took out more banknotes and gold, but the cold, wrinkled palm pushed back the reward time and time again.
Lumian helped Franka add tens of thousands of ferkin, but the transaction was still not completed.
"Perhaps, what the 'Black Box' wants is not money or gold?" Jenna thought of the information about the "broker" channel that Jebus talked about.
"Need a magical item?" Lumian frowned, thinking about things that could be traded.
Franka thought about it and said:
"How about using that 'blood gold' ring? It has a huge negative impact and we hardly use it."
The "blood gold" ring is obtained from "Crazy Girl" and corresponds to some of the abilities of "Rose Bishop" in sequence 6 of the "Secret Prayer" path.
The four of them discussed for a while and finally decided to give the "blood gold" ring a try.
After the wet palm in the "obscura" touched the "blood gold" ring, the five fingers clenched tightly and retracted with the ring.
This means the deal is done.
Huh... Lumian breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"I don't know how this 'black-box transaction' will be realized..."
"I hope you won't meet a scammer. Praise 'The Fool'!" Franka pressed her hand on her chest and prayed to Mr. "The Fool".
