Chapter 37: Another Symbol

Hearing Mr. Poet's question, Lumian was stunned for a moment, and a chill rose from the tail vertebrae, instantly piercing the brain.

Whether it's Auror, who knocked him unconscious in a dream and brought him to the place of sacrifice, or Michelle, the priest of the Replica Hall who did it in reality. Garigu is the one who has ever had a lizard-like elf out of his mouth, or someone who has been discreetly polluted by it!

And if Lumian hadn't become a vessel, hadn't been pushed into the altar, and stood in front of Auror, Teramipolos's advent ritual would have been successful, because then it wouldn't have happened that Aurore pushed the container out of the altar and ruined the ritual, and the "Fool" mark on Lumian's body couldn't have been activated!

This realization caused Lumian's mind to become extremely confused.

He never thought that the lizard-like elf would be the destroyer of the ritual, and the other party had obviously secretly polluted Auuror and the priest of the Replica Hall, causing them to change unconsciously, ignore some important things, and miss the last chance to save themselves!

"It, what exactly does it want to do, what is its real purpose?" Lumian asked, a little pained.

The poet's voice, as if shrouded in mist, replied gently:

"I'm just deciphering the symbolism of these elements in your dreams, and it's impossible to restore the truth of the matter completely.

Of course, I can try to give some speculation:

"The forces represented by the lizard-like elves want to use the large sacrifices of angels summoned by the believers of fate to achieve some hidden purposes, but they do not want to see Themiporos truly descend on the earth.

"They and the one who is destined for the existence should have a contradiction in the stage goal or even the ultimate goal."

Lumien nodded as he listened, feeling that this was the most plausible explanation at the moment.

He frowned unconsciously and said, "What secret purpose do they want to achieve?"

"That's one of the directions of your follow-up investigation." The poet smiled and said, "Decryption is not divination, nor is it prophecy, there must be enough information to deduce, and there is no way to guess out of thin air." ”

Lumian nodded slightly, more desperately wanting to grab the parish priest Guillaume. Bene.

The poet leaned forward slightly, clubbed both elbows on the wooden table, and his hands remained clasped:

"I've just decoded the more important symbolic elements, and only the last one remains.

"Your dreams themselves have a strong symbolic meaning."

"The dream itself?" Lumien pondered for a few seconds, but could not find a specific symbol.

The poet's voice is a little lower, no longer unusually ethereal, and more magnetic: "It symbolizes 'protection'.

"You were on the verge of a breakdown because of your mood swings, and if it weren't for the comfort and hope that the real dream brought you, you might have broken down completely, driven by self-destructive tendencies to act irrationally until you died.

"In addition, we can be sure that you do not have the ability to dream a real dream yourself, nor can you force the investigator into that dream, nor can the sealed Termibolos, that is, the real dream comes from outside interference.

"We haven't yet grasped the specific ability of the high sequence of the fatalistic pathway, and we can't tell if it was done by the fatalistic person symbolized by the owl, or if it came from the influence exerted by other forces, judging from the interpretation just now and the actual situation, they all have enough motives.

"In short, no one wants to see Themipolos truly descend on the earth, except for the being who is in the name of fate."

Lumien instantly remembered the sleepy area around the blood-colored peaks in the ruins of the village of Cordu.

Before he could raise the situation, the poet added to himself:

"Combined with the fact that the area that forces others to sleep is around the place of sacrifice and not the house where you sleep, I tend to be influenced by other forces, mainly to disrupt the ritual and appease you in passing.

"If the fatalistic person symbolized by the owl had done it, the location of the anomaly would have been completely reversed.

The lizard-like elves represent that force to do, or, something else? Another force? The more Lumien learned about the situation, the more he felt that the reality of the disaster in the village of Cordu was more complicated than he had expected.

He was silent for a moment and said, "What does the empty baby cradle in the Administrator's Castle symbolize?"

"It's a relatively less important symbolic element." The poet pondered for a few seconds before he said, "It represents the child of the Great Mother, and according to the information you have provided, it is likely that in the last rite of sacrifice, with the help of another blood child hidden by Lady Pualis, it entered our world and quietly left the village of Cordu, leaving only an empty baby bassinet. ”

Heirs of the Great Mother...... Lumien secretly hissed, feeling that the severity of the matter was not much worse than the arrival of Termipolos.

The forces of fate took great risks and were busy for nearly a year, only to exchange for the sealed angel, and finally cheapened the great mother.

In the flash of thought, Lumian let go of his worries:

This matter will definitely be dealt with by the saints and angels of the "Tarot Society" and the "Fool" Church, and it will not be his turn to worry about a small sequence 7.

Moreover, this is mainly a use of sacrificial rituals, and has little to do with the truth of the disaster in the village of Cordu, and Lumian's focus must be on tracking down and capturing Father Guillaume. Bene on.

"Why is the entire village of Cordu destroyed, and only my and Aurore's homes are still intact?"

The poet thought for a moment and said, "I think it symbolizes Aurore's remembrance, reluctance, and remorse.

At the end of the ceremony, she should have regained a certain level of consciousness, and in the process of merging the flesh and blood of the villagers, she subconsciously protected the building that represented her good life in the past.

"Of course, she may have used other powers to interfere with the ritual."

Think fondly of...... Reluctant...... The good life of the past...... Lumien was silent for a long time, and did not speak for a long time.

Seeing this, the poet let go of his clasped hands and said to him, "I have deciphered all the symbolic elements of your dream."

"Thank you, Mr. Poet." Lumian stood up, pressed his hands to his chest and bowed slightly, according to the etiquette of the Church of the Fools.

His spirit immediately appeared in a short trance, and he saw the poet in front of him, the wooden table, the surrounding bookshelves, the walls, the primeval forest outside, and all kinds of insects and pigs shattered like a dream, returning to deep darkness.

The darkness was fleeting, and Lumien found himself standing on the edge of a market.

In the distance, there are buildings with a predominantly white tone, mixed with dark black or earthy yellow bell towers and spires, and in the near distance there are cloud-like tents and herds of cattle, sheep and horses.

Most of the people who walk through the bazaar are dark-skinned, as if they are exposed to the sun every day, and among them, the men wear felt hats and dark red or sky blue robes, and the women wear colorful and colorful multi-layered robes.

The wind howled with a cold chill, and Lumian looked at the snow-covered peaks in the distance, a little dazed.

His conversation with the poet, the things he had just experienced, were like a dream that was so real.

No, it's a dream!

That's why he couldn't see the specific appearance of Mr. Poet.

I didn't realize I was dreaming at all, when did I start dreaming...... This is very similar to the dream I had in the ruins of the village of Cordu...... the "divine path" represented by Mr. "Poet" has the ability to force others to sleep and dream realistically? The anomalous area around the Scarlet Peak is caused by a similar ability? Lumien was shocked at first, and then a lot of ideas came to him.

At this moment, the "magician" lady wearing an off-white shirt, a long brown and yellow skirt and dark brown leather boots appeared in front of him.

"Do you want to go back to the Breeze Ballroom now?" The holder of the Great Arcana card asked.

"Where is this?" Lumien asked casually.

The "magician" lady looked up at the clear blue sky and the pure white clouds:

"Lapse on the Star Plateau, once one of the most important cities in the Highland Kingdom, was also called the 'White City'."

Star Plateau ...... Remembering the Rose School, Lumien told the Lady "Magician" about the attack of the "werewolves" and Gardnermartin's arrangement, and finally asked:

"Did the Rose School enter the market area because of the Shadow Tree? They didn't get my details from the Blessed Society?"

The "magician" lady laughed:

"You should have asked these questions just now, the gentleman who helped you interpret the dream symbols is an expert in the 'Rose School' processing, well, I'll help you ask now."

With that, she vanished into thin air, and reappeared in the same posture a few minutes later, unnoticed by the people around her.

The "Magician" lady looked at Lumian and said with a smile: "According to that gentleman's experience, although the 'Mother Tree of Desire' and the organization that worships Him do show a clear purpose, sufficient action, accurate foresight of the future, and good planning ability at a higher level and on a macro scale, as long as it is narrowed down to specific events, they often show the characteristics of chaos, disorder, and madness, which is consistent with the state of the evil god himself.

"To put it simply, it is relatively common for organizations that worship the 'Mother Tree of Desire' to not communicate, not connect, not cooperate, often go crazy, and occasionally be shrewd.

"However, in the last year or two, that gentleman has observed a certain amount of initial cooperation between the multiple organizations that worship the 'Mother Tree of Desire', and even the participation of people from the Demon Family."

"Demon family?" Lumian had never heard the term.

Ms. "Magician" casually explained:

"The several families that hold the path of 'demons', that is, the path of 'criminals', some of them have signs of worshipping the 'Mother Tree of Desire'."
