After reading the first paragraph of the letter, Franka felt that she had finally arrived.
She has been waiting for Mr. "Star" to make a request in order to exchange Amandine for the low- to medium-sequence potions of the "Dark Night" pathway.
Franca read the following content with some anticipation and nervousness:
"He wants you to help him interpret the words in the information attached to this letter. They are somewhat similar to those in Emperor Russell's diary.
"He has no time limit, you can take your time.
"The fact that you mentioned that Crimsonna's father may be the 'Blood Emperor' Alistair Tudor is very useful and important information.
"Now, we suspect that the one in the deepest part of the special mirror world, the one whom the 'Man in the Mirror' believes in, may not be the 'Original Witch' in the full sense, but the one originally created by the 'Blood Emperor' and the 'Original Witch'
One of the purposes of the special mirror world is very closely related to the 'Primordial Witch', but this seems to be out of their control. This should be the reason why the 'Primal Witch' is in poor condition now.
"Next, the main task for you and the 'Seven of Holy Grails' is to find the 'Man in the Mirror' Jia Simin, and test the 'Black Witch' to see if she has a deep understanding of the special mirror world. Of course,
The premise of all this is that you must ensure your own safety.
"If you encounter any abnormalities, please ask me for help."
Ms. "Judgment" still didn't say anything nonsense... Franka turned to the next page of letter paper.
What follows is the accompanying information.
Franka just glanced at it, and her pupils suddenly dilated:
This, this is not the words in Emperor Russell's diary!
I don’t know if it’s an oracle bone inscription or a bronze inscription, but it’s one of the oldest inscriptions in the country before she and Emperor Russell crossed over!
“Where did you get this?
"Who the hell knows this...
"I'm not sure if it's real oracle bone inscriptions or gold inscriptions. After all, I don't understand them either. I'm illiterate...
"Is it an occult language unknown to this world, but it's more like Oracle?
"But it does look a bit like it. It looks like hieroglyphics!"
Franca identified it carefully.
Although she has never studied oracle bone inscriptions or bronze inscriptions, as a new young person who grew up in the Internet era, she has read some of them more or less and remembered what the simplest ones mean, such as "people".
Not long after, she discovered multiple similar patterned words.
"It's a little different from what I remember, but basically the same...
"Treat it as an oracle bone or gold inscription first... Where did Mr. Star get it from? Did they find Harrison on Easter Island? No, if they really find it, they won't tell me...
“Or maybe the Great Arcana card holder of the Moss Ascetic Order came into contact with the ‘Celestial Master’ when he was tracking down the missing ‘Ten Pillars’ Kemero?
"It's very possible! No wonder the preface of this information told me that the order of the words has been disrupted to prevent me from being contaminated during the interpretation process. He is worthy of being in charge of the two paths of 'Peeper' and 'Person of Knowledge'
'Heavenly Master'!
“But without the context, the difficulty of interpretation has more than doubled...
"Chen Tu! 'Armor Shadow' Chen Tu may be able to do it, but he can only ask three or four questions at a time... I don't know if I can directly ask what the general meaning of this information is..."
Franka's thoughts flashed and she decided to seek help from the "Curly Baboon Research Association" first.
There are many members in the research association who are from the same country as her, and many of them are highly educated. Some of them may have had in-depth contact with or studied oracle bones and bronze inscriptions.
Franka does not require the other party to be a master of oracle bones or bronze inscriptions, as long as they can recognize commonly used characters, and let the Major Arcana cards guess the rest based on the context of the original data.
After making the decision, Franka wrote a letter enthusiastically, planning to summon Ms. "Hela"'s messenger to request a gathering in the near future.
She was too lazy to go out for a "date" with Lumian and exchange information about "The Black Witch". After gnawing on a loaf of butter bread, she sat down at her desk, picked out a few words she barely knew, and studied them over and over again.
…………
Memorial Hall District, in the apartment Lumian rented.
Lumian sat on the sofa, looking at Ludwig who was reading "Ghostface" magazine, and thinking about the subsequent "domestication" plan.
After more than ten minutes, he smiled at Ludwig:
"You've been quite free lately, and you have nothing else to do except eat.
"Let me give you an assignment."
The key point of "taming" is to make the other party obey orders and force yourself to do even things you don't want to do.
Of course, pure intimidation and suppression won't work. Once or twice is enough, but if it happens too many times, Ludwig will definitely run away from home again.
Ludwig's expression suddenly became horrified, as if to say, "Look, you are indeed tainted by the Church of Knowledge!"
Without giving him a chance to speak, Lumian added:
"This assignment is to taste the famous meat pies of Trier, collect information by yourself, plan your own route, and finally compile a food report."
The first step in obeying orders is to let the child accept the order and make it something he can and is willing to do, and then gradually increase the number of orders.
Ludwig's eyes suddenly lit up.
He licked his lips and said:
"good!"
The little boy looked out the window and stood up impatiently:
"I'm going now!"
Lumian suddenly laughed:
"It's already dark, it's too dangerous outside, and you're just a child."
Too dangerous... Just a child... Lugano next to him couldn't help but glance at Ludwig, his face full of disapproval.
Lumian sighed and said:
"I mean, he is only a child and does not have enough self-control. He will be more dangerous to the citizens of Trier who walk at night."
He immediately said to Ludwig:
"You first collect information from newspapers and magazines tonight, formulate a plan, and complete it at dawn tomorrow."
"Yeah!" Ludwig jumped down from the single sofa and rummaged through the newspapers and magazines he had subscribed to before, quite seriously.
Lumian nodded with satisfaction, walked back to his bedroom, and placed a continuously burning white flame in the independent space in the "Traveler's Bag".
After a while, he took out the completely charred and deformed body parts of Sallysette and looked at them for a few times.
According to the results of Franka's "Magic Mirror Divination", after refining and extraction, this can replace the "Twin-tailed Black Snake Tail Tip" in the "Pain" potion auxiliary material.
There is no need to collect the "Painted Bat Blood" in the auxiliary materials, Franka's blood is a better substitute.
Lumian stuffed the body parts back into the "traveler's bag" and took out the books he borrowed from the Church of Knowledge in Morola.
Although Ms. "Magician" has helped him seal the "Black Tears", no one can have too much useful knowledge.
Of course, the more useful knowledge is, the more likely it is to be highly contaminated, requiring trade-offs and trade-offs.
Lumian lit the gas wall lamp, selected a book titled "Into the Mysterious Palace", and started reading leisurely.
As time passed by, he suddenly turned his head and looked at the door.
The door to his room opened with a creak, and a man grew out of the shadow.
It was Jian Na who was wearing a white shirt and light-colored gauze skirt. Her darker flaxen hair was tied up, her blue eyes were big and bright, her face was lightly covered with makeup, and she had a small patch in the middle of her nose.
Small black mole.
Her white flower-decorated women's shirt is not revealing, but because of its almost perfect curvature, it makes people think about it and make their mouths dry.
At this moment, Lumian seemed to see the two figures of the "flamboyant girl" Janna and the actress apprentice Chelia Bello overlapping each other, with an unspeakable charm in their beauty.
"I have something to ask you for help." Jenna smiled and closed the door.
Lumian suddenly had a premonition of danger. It was not that his life was threatened, but that he was uneasy because of something else.
"I'm afraid I can't help you." Lumian said calmly, relying on the characteristics of the "ascetic monk".
Jian Na lowered her eyes, covering her bright blue eyes.
She walked to the bed, sat down, looked at Lumian again, and said with a smile in her eyes:
"Listen to me first and listen to my reasons."
Lumian was silent for a few seconds and said:
"You tell me."
Jian Na put her hands on both sides, leaned forward slightly, and said in a playful manner:
"It seems you have guessed it. Yes, I want your help in digesting the 'Happiness' potion."
Sure enough... Lumian said with a headache:
"Why not Franka?"
"Two reasons, one superficial and one real, which one do you want to hear?" Jenna asked with a smile.
Lumian rubbed his forehead:
"On the surface."
Jian Na pursed her lips and smiled self-deprecatingly:
"She is happy to help me digest the 'happy' potion. There will be no resistance in my heart and there will be very little pain. This does not comply with the code of acting that pleasure brings pain, and my digestion of the potion will be very slow.
"And you, I know you are unwilling and reject this matter. The more you experience the joy, you will eventually be reluctant to let it go. Along with the pain of self-blame, my 'Happiness' potion has been digested.
The faster. In addition, a very important point is that you have a false angel status. If everything goes well, maybe I can digest the potion in only two or three weeks and consider being promoted to the 'Pain Witch'.
"As the leader of the team, isn't this the best choice? It can effectively help you improve the quality of your team and make the ceremony more effective.
"You don't need to recommend 'Black Tears' to me, I need something to digest the 'Happiness' potion."
Lumian remained silent and did not respond.
Jian Na couldn't help but said "ha":
"You think of this as 'teleporting' with your teammates and lending them power. I don't want to get your feelings and heart. Without feelings, you don't always care about things. You always feel that you don't have them."
Is it moral? Hey, do you have mysophobia? I'm just helping!"
Lumian said after a few seconds:
"And you?"
Jian Na lowered her eyes and laughed softly:
"I can also experience joy in pain, and feel pain in joy, which is in line with the acting code."
Lumian was silent for a while and said:
"Where's Franka?"
Jian Na bit her lip and said with deep eyes:
"If she knew, she would be able to digest the 'pain' potion."
Lumian let out a long sigh:
"I thought you would find ways to seduce me and ignite my desires to achieve your goal. I didn't expect you to reason with me as if you were negotiating."
Jian Na wrinkled her face, hummed and cursed:
"If I use temptation, you will definitely teleport away and escape!
"Why don't I explain the stakes to you clearly and tell you that this is as normal as drinking water and eating. There is no need to feel guilty and no need for you to invest your emotions. This is very common in Intis!"
