Chapter Ninety-Five: Negligence
The "magician" lady laughed:
"What do you care about this? You can't use it, you can only use it to forget all your memories and original feelings, and become a brand new person.
"Well, in the three paths of 'corpse collector', 'sleepless' and 'warrior', depending on usage, ritual and collocation, 'Samaritan Woman's Fountain has different uses, including but not limited to temporarily clearing memories, healing the essence of the spirit, improving one's own inspiration, becoming material for important rituals, bringing different branches of power, etc., etc., etc."
Corresponding to the three adjacent paths of "corpse collector", "sleepless" and "warrior"? Lumian distills the key information
At this time, the "magician" lady glanced at him and restrained the smile on her face:1
"No problem, right?"
Lumian thought for a moment and said:
"Not yet."
The "magician" lady nodded:
"Then it's time for me to ask."
"Ask what?" Lumian was puzzled.
He told all the details.
Ms. "Magician" tapped her fingers on the void in front of her a few times:
"Why don't you tell me that Miss Justice told me that you went to the Samaritan Women's Spring?"
Lumian was stunned for a moment: "
"I thought she'd tell you, and besides, I thought she'd be the big Arcana card of the 'Tarot Society', so it shouldn't be a problem to accept her commission, and I don't need to ask you for confirmation."
The "magician" lady showed a thoughtful expression:
"There is nothing wrong with normality, but there are always too many abnormalities in this world."
Lumien asked, bewildered:
"Lady Justice's out of the ordinary?"
"Not really." "The problem is that not long after you agreed to go to the Samaritan Women's Spring, the Earth Blood Ore was lost, and I didn't know that you were about to go to the fourth floor of the Catacombs, and Miss 'Justice' didn't know that the Blood Ore had fallen into someone else's hands, and it wasn't that you didn't want to take it, so you were sure you wouldn't take it."
"If you communicate well in advance, I can let you postpone it for a while, confirm the whereabouts of the earth blood ore, or make some arrangements."
Lumian pondered for a while, and realized that it was really what the "magician" lady said:
Foreseeing that the Earth Blood Ore would bring certain encounters underground, she would not ignore the hidden connection between the loss of the Earth Blood Ore and the trip to the Samaritan Woman's Spring.
And Lumien's petty negligence, or what he thinks is reasonable, is the source of the subsequent encounter.
The "magician" lady looked at Lumien deeply for a few seconds, thought for a moment, and said:
"I can't blame you for this, you don't have much problem handling it, it's just a reminder that you have to be more cautious in the future."
She paused, and said meaningfully:
"This will be especially true in the future when we go to find the entrance to that Trier in the Quaternary."
"Yes, Ms. Magician." Lumian was educated sincerely.
When the "magician" disappeared from his eyes with the bottle of water containing the "Samaritan Woman's Spring", Lumian quickly gathered up the altar and sat down again.
He reviewed the mistakes he had made in this operation:
"First, Ms. 'Magician' is right, I should inform her of Ms. Justice's commission, even if they have communicated privately and there is no problem with the matter, I should also tell her, after all, the big Arcana card I directly belong to is not 'Justice', it is a 'magician', and helping other big Arcana cards to do things must be allowed by my own big Arcana card.
"Second, before entering the Samaritan Woman's Spring, I should check my status and belongings and make a final confirmation, which should be a necessary process unless it is an encounter or an emergency.
"If I can remember and complete this, I will be able to avoid a lot of problems in advance, so as not to unknowingly bring the Earth Blood Ore into the 'Samaritan Woman's Spring' area, Monette, no, Amon, appeared several times, deliberately frightened, just to interrupt my thoughts, so that my attention is always on his vigilance rather than my own state, so as to ignore the 'return' of the Earth Blood Ore?
"Thirdly, I didn't notice the abnormality of Themipolos, in the face of Monit's appearance, he was silent, not as vigilant and anxious as last time, heh, although he was sealed, he could feel the situation around him with the help of me, as an angel, would he have noticed that Amon had stuffed the earth blood ore back into my pocket?
"Moreover, his fate is linked to mine, and when he entered the 'Samaritan Woman's Spring' with the Earth Blood Ore, my fate must have changed, and he would not have been unaware, so why didn't he remind me?
"He also wants to take advantage of the special environment of the 'Samaritan Women's Spring' and the anomalies brought about by the earth's blood ore to find a way to break free from the seal? Yes, it was he who reminded me that the blood ore was special and said that it would bring me an opportunity!
"Whose will it be that strange power that ultimately failed to achieve his goal?
"The angel of the evil god really can't fully believe it, and Themipolos has been so reliable during this time, reminding me from time to time, in addition to avoiding dangers that can affect him, he is also paralyzing me, just waiting for the opportunity to come and give me a knife in the back.
"Hehe, you're also a hunter?
"After entering the 'Samaritan Women's Spring', there is nothing wrong with my choice, the negative impact erupts, and all kinds of mental pollution are superimposed, I can still make basic responses, it is not easy, it doesn't matter if it is right or wrong...... If it weren't for the pollution that contradicted each other and pulled each other back, I would have gone crazy on the spot. ”32
Lumian reviewed the whole thing, and suddenly laughed in a low voice:
"Themipolos, why didn't you notice that Monit had stuffed the Earth Blood Ore back?"
Themipolos remained silent and did not reply.
Lumian, having roughly confirmed the role of the fateful angel in what had just happened, examined the items on his body, fearing that they were also heading for "death".
Fortunately, the inanimate items suffered less impact and no substantial damage, and the "rust" encountered by the "torture" gloves was not an attack in the true sense of the word, except that it left a few traces, and did not affect its use.
As for the gaze and dangerous creatures that come with wearing the gloves, Lumian has no sense of it, believing that the special environment of the Samaritan Woman's Fountain limits the corresponding negative effects.
After doing these things, Lumian looked around, feeling an indescribable fear and disgust for the safe house that Amon had entered, and always felt that the air around him hid some eyes.
Of course, this is mainly his psychological feelings, after all, the "magician" lady has already come.
After removing the trap hidden in the safe house, Lumian took all his belongings and left the door, intending to never return again, preferring to waste the rent.
Trier, a grassy park.
The "magician" in a brown and yellow dress looked at the big golden retriever dog who was walking on the edge of the meadow, and said to the lady beside him:
"The Samaritan Woman's Fountain has been brought back."
The lady wore a simple dress with green stripes on a white background, her blonde hair was draped and tied, and her eyes were as green as jewels, and they seemed to reflect the clear water of the trees.
She smiled slightly:
"Did something happen? You should have asked the messenger to bring it. ”
The "magician" nodded, and gave a general summary of the key information of the whole matter, and finally said:
"It just so happens that we haven't seen each other for the past few days, and there is a lack of communication.
"This leads to the fact that I know that he has lost the Earth Blood Ore and is suspected to have been stolen by Amun, but I don't know that he is going to get the 'Samaritan Woman's Spring', and you are the opposite, knowing that he is going to get the 'Samaritan Woman's Spring', but you do not know that the Earth Blood Ore has been stolen."
"Justice" listened quietly, was silent for a few seconds, sighed and said:
"Much like that person's style......"
"Is that really the one?" The magician frowned slightly, "When did he get his gaze?" You didn't hide it from him from the beginning?"
"Justice" thought about it for a while:
"It's not a surprise, the most important thing now is what he wants to arrange."
"I don't know." "The magician" laughed to himself, "But since the Samaritan Woman's Fountain has already happened, I can foresee ......".
Speaking of this, she sighed and said as she walked into the void surrounded by starlight:
"It won't be long before the gates of that Trier in the Quaternary period really open."
Outside an abandoned castle.
The figure of "Justice" appeared in the doorway, holding the golden vial containing the "Samaritan Woman's Spring".
Ahead of her, a dark, illusory sea emerged, and she stepped into it, arriving at a special dream.
In the dream, the layers of black mausoleums that looked like inverted ones were not only missing a part, but also split in half, with many deep cracks on the surface, and scattered with oil-stained pale yellow feathers and various things that symbolized death.
"Justice" floated in the air and poured the golden vial in his hand.
Part of the water from the Samaritan Woman's Spring, under her guidance, turned into dark rain and gently sprinkled it on the earth.
All traces of the damage were further healed, and the mausoleum, which was divided into two halves, gradually moved closer together.
In the midst of such changes, "Justice" put away the golden vial, looked at the remaining "Samaritan Woman's Spring", and said to himself silently:
"Two more times should be fine."
On the second floor of the Breeze Ballroom, it belongs to Lumien's bedroom.
After a good night's sleep, he lifted his right palm and found that the bright red scar had faded a lot, closer to the squeezing marks.
"It's not noticeable." Lumien breathed a sigh of relief.
His original plan was to wrap a white bandage around his right palm, so that the boss would not see the problem at a glance.
Now, Lumian thought for a moment and wrapped the bandage around his left palm, which was nothing unusual.
After doing this, he looked forward to the reward that Ms. "Justice" said, and he didn't know when it would be delivered.
He believed that he would not be able to wait a few days.
Suddenly, Lumian jerked back and looked at the window facing the alley behind him.
Bang bang bang!
The glass there was slammed.
