Chapter Seventy-Three: The Origin of "Shadow of Armor".
Lumian turns his thoughts away from Loshi. Lois. Sansson and "Evokemon", "April Fool's Day" and other things, starting from the beginning according to Franca's request:
"During the disaster in the village of Cordu, I was also polluted by the god of fate, but thanks to the blessing of Mr. Fool, I was able to keep my sanity and not become a monster.
"That pollution is both a curse and a gift, and I am now following the guidance of the 'magician' lady to draw them out little by little in stages and turn them into my own power, balancing them with the extraordinary properties of the corresponding sequence."
It dawned on Franca:
"What you call a special contract is the power of the 'deed-bearee'? No wonder you say I can't learn anything. “
From Lumian's lack of clarity about the power of sequence 6 of the "fate" path, she speculates that the other party is now a double sequence 7 of "arsonist" and "contracted person".
Lumian nodded:
"So Guillaume. Bene didn't dare to replace and change my fate at will, and the pollution level in my body was quite high. ”
"To have Mr. 'Fool' provide protection, that must be divine." Franca thought to herself, "Do you think it's possible for me to get some bounty too?"
Do you want to give everything a try? Lumian "tsked" and said:
"Are you going to find a 'great mother' and repeat the process of pregnancy and breastfeeding every day, or do you believe in the 'mother tree of desire' and drag all the wild dogs on the side of the road to bed?"
"Shhh......hh If you want to be like you, you can get the protection of Mr. 'Fool' immediately when you come into contact with the power of the evil god, but you can't ask for it. ”
"It's not just contact." In order to dispel Franca's unrealistic thoughts, Lumian revealed a little more, "The power of fate is sealed in my body, that is to say, I am praying for the gift of Mr. 'Fool' and the pollution in my body, not the existence in the name of fate, only in this way can I ensure the most basic safety, otherwise I don't know when I will become another person or die suddenly." ”
Franca exhaled instinctively, "You're still going to talk about the 'Hum Ha Technique'."
Lumian reorganized the following language:
"In order not to be indirectly affected by the existence in the name of fate, I gave up the strange creatures in the knowledge that came with my gift, and asked Ms. 'Magician' for a batch of spiritual creature materials, and you know the rest of the matter."
"The Technique of Humming comes from a spirit creature I have summoned, and I originally wanted to summon the Screaming Shadow, but I don't know if it was because I prayed to Mr. Fool for His witness, or if the summoning spell I designed was not precise enough, and there was a ghost that was completely different from the description of the Screaming Shadow......"
Lumian explained the corresponding summoning spells, design ideas, the specific appearance of the armor ghost, and other abilities in detail, and even used his drawing ability to almost pass to get a sub-diagram.
Fish Scale Armor...... "Hum Ha Technique", ...... "Ten Thousand Ghosts Night Walk", ...... "Soul Eater Roaring"...... Franka looked at the picture on the coffee table, muttering to herself, her eyes losing focus.
Lumian asked tentatively, "Is there anything wrong with this?"
If it were replaced by Aurel, would there be a similar reaction?
Franka suddenly came back to her senses, and said with a solemn and excited expression:
"That 'Shadow of Armor' is likely from our world!"
"Your world?" Lumian didn't expect such an answer. “
However, it seems reasonable, as the Shadow's armor and ability names are very unique and not quite the same as in the current world.
Franca gave an "um":
"There are many countries in our world, and each country has a different culture and language, and the 'Ghost of Armor' is very similar to some of the images in the myths and legends of your sister and I in that country."
"You and Aurel are from the same country?" Lumian is most concerned about this. “
He paused and said:
"Was it Mr. Fool's power combined with my inaccurate spell that summoned the Armored Shadow from your world, or did he, like you, travel long ago and become a ghost in the spirit realm after death?"
Franka said with excitement and anticipation:
"If it's the former, it means that there is a connection between the two worlds, and in that case, we can really go home! If it's the latter, why can he use the abilities of the original world, did he come with it, or did he learn it later?"
Solving these mysteries will allow her to get closer to the truth of the crossing and find her way home!
At this, Franka stood up and looked at Lumian with sparkling eyes:
"Can you summon the 'Shadow of Armor' out and let me see it?"
"I have a pact with him, and I really don't need to ask Mr. 'Fool' to summon him accurately." When Lumian saw Franca's excitement, as if he wanted to get started directly and help set up the altar, he changed his words, "But I think he is very dangerous, it's good to have the protection of Mr. 'Fool', if not, we may be killed directly by him, and if we are under the protection of Mr. 'Fool', we can't communicate with him, let alone psychic, we can only simply complete the summoning ceremony." ”
Franka frowned in disappointment, "So what should I do?"
Lumian thought for a moment and said:
"By the time I have collected all the 100,000 Feldin gold and fulfilled the contract.
"That way, the power of the contract will provide protection, and we'll see what the Armor Shadow wants so much gold for."
Franka pondered for dozens of seconds, "exhaled" and said:
"That's all there is to it for the time being."
She originally wanted to quickly confirm the problem of the "Armor Shadow", get useful information from him, and then go to the "Curly Baboon Research Association" to report the situation, and everyone will work together to find a way to work together, but now it can only be postponed for a while.
After exchanging spells for a while, the two confirmed that the success rate of Franca's own summoning was very low, because it was not precise enough, and it might be "Screaming Shadow", and Lumian could take out one of the descriptions and use "Lumian. Lee's contract creatures" to point to the target.
After a while, Jana returns with coffee, snacks, and meatloaf, bringing Lumian and Franca, who are already quite hungry after a battle, into the state of afternoon tea.
When it was almost evening, Anthony was dressed as a small clerk. Red returned to Apartment 601, 3 White Coat Street.
"How?" Lumien did not hide his concern at all.
Anthony took off his old top hat and bowed his head gently:
"I followed the lady and her butler, the man, the maid, and the coachman all the way to 20 Terrace Street in the library area.
"It seems to be another place for them to live, something like a safe house."
"Are you going to keep an eye on it?" Franka looked at Lumian.
Lumien pondered for a few seconds and said with a smile:
"No, just check to see if they have moved out every once in a while."
"Why?" Jane also thought that Charles would be eager to deal with those people and get more information.
Lumian smiled very sunnyly:
"Behind them is an organization called 'Sinners', and the liaison should have discovered Guillaume. Bene's death took the initiative to disconnect the contact, eliminating the clue and making it difficult to trace it back.
"But what happens if the 'Sinners' group finds out that those people are indeed out of track and not being monitored?
"Maybe we'll reconnect!
"Only real non-surveillance can make that lady convince the 'sinners' organization that things are over, become active again, and crawl out of their rat holes!"
"......," Jana scolded almost silently.
Charles is so insidious!
Because Anthony brought substantial gains, he took two-thirds of the last 15,000 Filkin, and Jaena only got 5,000.
After rolling up the bills and putting them in different pockets on his body, Anthony. Red looked at Lumian and said:
"What I would prefer is to start investigating Yuge as soon as possible. The secret behind Artois and the truth about the betrayal in the first place. ”
That was the main reason why he agreed to participate in the operation.
"Okay." Lumian had already communicated with Janna and Franka about it.
Jaenna will be in charge of asking the "purifier" for information.
Because of the "Shadow of Armor", Franka was in a state of high excitement and took the initiative to suggest at this time:
"I know some friends from Rune, let's see if I can get a record of that battle from the Rune military and see what they have to say."
"That's a good idea." Anthony. Red's eyes lit up.
He had never thought of getting the truth from the attackers before.
In the chaotic night, which can never be quiet, Lumian, who left the ritual fur for Franca's divination spells, walked towards the "Golden Rooster Hotel", intending to summon the messenger of the "magician" lady to bring Guillaume . Mention Bennet, the "Sinners" organization, and the "Ghost in Armor", and ask them to tell Ms. Justice and Ms. Susie that they can have one last psychological treatment.
With the cool night breeze blowing, Lumian's thoughts slowly drifted away.
After learning from Franca about the common denominators of the "Curly Baboon Research Society", his sister Aurel's impression in his mind became clearer.
Of course, those ambiguities were all that he didn't understand in the first place, but he felt that it didn't matter, and there was no need to explore the reasons.
"No wonder Auroel wants to leave her family and live in the border village of Cordu, no wonder she resists going to Trier, no wonder she always says strange words, and likes to explain to me what they mean, no wonder hers is not the same as the original fashion, no wonder she likes to say 'a philosopher in my hometown said', and often changes it to 'Russell the Great once said'........." Lumian sighed silently, and his mood became inexplicably calm, as if the place where he strolled was not a chaotic street, but the village of Cordu.
The place he would never go back to.
At the same time, Lumian has his own understanding of some of the symbolic elements of the dream:
"The land that Aurel bought once lived a dead wizard symbolizes that she occupies Loshi. Lois. Sanson's body?
"Naroshi. Lois. Sanson, the legendary sorcerer who died, represents the original fateful believers?"
Because of the lack of key information about these two symbols, Mr. "Poet" did not interpret them, but only told Lumian that they should have their own meanings.
Wandering thoughts, Lumien returned to room 207 and saw a simply folded letter on the table.
Letter? It's not like a "magician" lady's...... Shocked and suspicious, Lumien walked over, picked up the letter, and unfolded it.
On it is written two lines of beautiful Intiswen:
"I've arrived in Trier.
"Hela."
