"What do you think?" Marcos didn't go straight back to the warehouse, but walked in the other direction—Uma's studio. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"I really want to deny it all, but I can't go to extremes right now. Everything needs to be verified to get results, so I think at least we can keep the exploration of the Heavenly Veil Behemoth. "Maffeo doesn't want to do everything absolutely at the beginning, at least to leave room for manoeuvre.

Marcos was a little surprised, but also a little happy. He was amazed that Maffeo, who had been away for two years, had learned how to deal with one thing, something he had lacked before. He was glad that Maffeo clearly had a direction again, instead of following the instructions of someone else's dictates like he had been like a walking corpse in the first two days back on the West Coast. "You know what? I think the only thing I've been happy about in this time is that you're finally not the stupid bastard you used to be. ”

"I've never been a stupid bastard, it's a title that only you're entitled to. Maffeo taunted back.

"Oh, it's funny. ”

"So, where are we going now?" Maffeo was no stranger to the route, which led to a row of rented houses across the street next to the Academy of Magic. The League of Aristocracy bought most of the land on the West Coast, and the nobles used it to earn a lot of rent for their families. They have many sources of funding, but they never give up any of them.

"I'll have to see how Uma's research goes, those Lotus Power Manifestation Spiritual Domination Rings are very important things, although it didn't take much effort for me to get them. Marcos's face turned a little ugly, and Maffeo was sure that the process was very gloomy. "What happened?"

"The believers on the periphery of the temple are all under control, and when they see me, they desperately pull out their daggers and attack me, and I can only kill them. We should have been mentally prepared for this a long time ago, so I will try not to think about it. ”

"It's a helpless move, isn't it? As you can see, they're controlled, they're no longer who they were. ”

"Yes, that's right. Sometimes, they mutate into octopuses, and God, can you imagine how terrifying it would be for ordinary people to turn into an octopus. Even assuming that Lotus himself didn't have any ill intentions, what happened to the believers was enough to give everyone a good reason to kill it. Marcos felt his pockets and wanted to smoke at the mention of these gloomy things.

"We're always repeating things we don't want to do, and sometimes I think it's the will of the gods. But when I think about it, if the gods created everything just to make us go through things we don't want to go through, then it's really a jerk. Maffeo laughed helplessly, and he didn't know when he became suspicious of everything, and he often wondered whether the collection of sins he saw was a reality or an illusion.

"Don't think too much about it, what we've been through is fundamental to what we've survived for. Imagine what would we be if we didn't experience anything?Can you imagine a person being the same from birth to death?" Marcos thought he was comforting Maffeo, but eventually he found himself comforting himself. The two of them are always torn between having no faith and having faith, and this feeling is actually very uncomfortable.

For the rest of the journey, the two did not talk about such heavy topics. Yes, they can't think too much, that would go crazy. Therefore, they can only bury the bitter fruit in the soil of their hearts, looking forward to a better tomorrow.

Uma dresses his studio with a very eerie element, and he seems to be fond of things like skulls or demon statues made of ice, which is why Mirna is reluctant to come here from time to time. "Hey, Uma!" Marcos knocked on the door.

"Come in, Marcos. Uma's voice rang out in the room.

"Look who this is. Marcos pushed Maffeo through the door.

"Hello, Uma. Maffeo greeted him.

"I'm glad you're back, Maffeo. Uma stepped forward and shook his hand, and although the height difference between the two made Marcos want to laugh behind Maffeo, he knew that he couldn't make fun of these magicians by their height. After all, when Warhammer mocked Mirna for being a petty bit, he was almost "hunted" by Milna for a day and a night.

"I know why you're here, and I did come up with some results. Uma tossed the two Psychic Domination Rings from the table into their hands. "Indeed, as Miss Alice said, Lotus has indeed weakened in power. This spiritual domination ring is the best proof that the elemental energy condensed in it is very limited, and it can even be said to be weak. While this may be a bit rude to Miss Ophelia who escaped from the Heavenly Veil Behemoth, it is easy for even a weakened Apostle to destroy a religious group. It's like a master of swordsmanship and a little ghost who has only touched the skin of swordsmanship to compete with each other, and I believe you will know the result. ”

This is indeed the same apostle as we imagined it. "Marcos and Maffeo looked at each other, they don't forget the former Shylock, so they can understand that Lotus has made such a big impact now.

"Besides, if you rush into the control of Lotus's mind attack, I think you know what the consequences will be, right?"

"We're going to be like the believers, we're going to be a walking corpse and we're going to attack everyone we can see. "Marcos imitated the mad believers.

"Very well, so I found something in these psychic rings that I can't tell, but I'm sure it's the most important thing that will help us resist Lotus psychic attacks. "The result of Uma is absolutely very important, even if the path to the spine is opened, without any preparation, stepping into the territory of Lotus will only become another poor creature affected by the mental attack.

Marcos couldn't wait to ask, "Is there any way to figure it out?"

Uma shook her head regretfully, "I can't help it, I've consulted Dean Sharan and Teacher Gilens, but neither of them can give a reasonable explanation. But there are two options at the moment, first, go to Miss Alice for help, she definitely knows more than I do. The second is to find the Celestials who are proficient in technology, and maybe they will know something. ”

"Well, Freya is currently on the Veil Behemoth, and it seems that the only people we can turn to for help are Carl and Alice. Honestly, I really don't want to have too much conversation with that woman. ”

"Then go and ask Carl, by the way, is he better?"

"It's the same as before, Freya says she'll find a way to get a little ...... I don't know what it is, but I'll have to ask her. ”

"I see, I'll see you later, Marcos, Maffeo. Uma sat back down at the table and spread out the remaining ring of spiritual domination on the table. "I'll keep looking into this thing, maybe there's something I haven't found. ”

"Good luck, Uma. Marcos and Maffeo turned and left.
