Chapter 176: Three Questions

Because there is a "hanged man", there is no need to worry about being attacked by the "Armor Shadow", so Lumian did not summon in the name of "Fool", but according to the simplest process, arranged the "Spirit Wall", and summoned the "Armor Shadow" by summoning a messenger.

In front of the inflated green candle flame, the vague shadow stood silently in the air in a dark armor dyed with a lot of gold.

The tiny faces on the scales twisted and silently screamed, unabashedly ostentatious in their pain, turning them into hatred and malice towards all the creatures around them.

Alger, the "hanged man" dressed as a sailor, took a step forward, and subtle silver-white electric light suddenly crackled out from the "spiritual wall".

They are fleeting and regenerate out of thin air, leaving the hairs on Lumien and Franca's bodies numb and numb.

In the extreme depression before the thunderstorm, the countless transparent faces on the "Armored Shadow" returned to silence, but the gaze full of hatred remained.

Lumian looked at the six gold bars placed on the altar, calmed down, and said in Hermes, "I offer a sacrifice, and I ask you to answer my three questions."

The blurred faces on the surface of the "Shadow of Armor" turned to the alluring glow of gold at the same time, transmitting the idea of "can" to Lumian.

Lumian then nodded to the "Hanged Man".

The "Hanged Man" pondered for a moment and gave the first question: "Who are you?"

Lumian repeats the question in Hermes as his contract creature, in which case the "Armored Shadow" will only communicate with him.

After a brief silence, the "Shadow of Armor" once again uttered the language that only Franka could barely understand: "Heavenly Master Seal, God of Suppressing Ghosts, my name is Chen Di."

Celestial Master ........ Franka thought for a few seconds, and quickly considered the language and said, "His surname is Chen, his name is Tu, and he is a god enshrined by the Taoist leader, who is responsible for guarding evil spirits."

"What is Taoism?" The Hanged Man," he asked, thinking.

"What is an edict?" Lumian looked sideways at Franca, and asked in Intius.

In his opinion, since it is called a sect, no matter what the prefix is, it is not fundamentally different from the "Fool" Church and the "Eternal Sun" Church.

Franka looked embarrassed:

"These two questions are a long story, let's discuss them later, I'm afraid that the 'Armor Shadow' won't be able to wait that long."

Also.... Lumien set his sights on Mr. "The Hanged Man".

The "Hanged Man" groaned briefly and gave a second question.

Lumian translated it into Hermes: "What is strange on the eastern sea?"

"Armor Shadow" replied in a low and majestic voice: "There is an immortal mountain in the East China Sea, which has been lost in ancient times, and its name is Penglai."

Penglai ...... It's really home....... Franka is happy, and the speed of translation has become a lot faster:

"On the eastern side of the ocean is a mountain inhabited by all kinds of powerful wizards and special gods, which has disappeared in a long time and is called 'Penglai'.

This passage is fairly easy to understand, and neither Lumian nor the "Hanged Man" raise any questions.

After a few seconds, Alger, the "Hanged Man", asked slowly:

"What has happened to the eastern ocean in recent years?"

In recent years?" The "Armor Shadow" is suspected to have been killed by the "Underworld", detained by his side, and brought into the "Yellow Spring", and the "Underworld" sacrificed himself into the river should have been a thousand or two thousand years ago, the "Blood Emperor" had just fallen or not long after the fall, how could he know what had happened outside in recent years? Franka muttered, but did not dare to correct Mr. "The Hanged Man".

After Lumian repeated, the "Armored Shadow" replied grimly, "There is a corpse from Penglai floating on the river....."

Franka was stunned when she heard this, and blurted out:

"The mountain called Penglai has reappeared, and the powerful wizards or special gods who inhabit it have died, and their bodies have drifted to what may be the 'River Styx'! That is, it is the 'Blood Emperor' Arista. The river where Tudor was suppressed by the 'Underworld', the source of the 'Samaritan Women's Spring'!"

It means that the ocean to the east of the world where the "Armor Shadow" is located has undergone a change in recent years, and the long-disappeared sacred mountain Penglai has reappeared, and a powerful extraordinary person who lives there has died? Has the mountain named Penglai always stood in the East China Sea, or has it only appeared occasionally? Lumian was tempted to ask, but according to the rules of summoning, he couldn't ask any more questions.

The six gold bars placed on the altar then disintegrated, turning into bits of clear light that melted into the surface of the dark fish-scale armor.

This time, nearly a fifth of the armor was dyed gold, making it sacred.

The "Hanging Man" watched the "Armored Shadow" disappear into the gloomy green candle flame, and did not speak for a long time, not knowing what to think.

Lumian finished the ceremony, quickly cleaned up the altar, and turned to Franca, "You can explain the terms in the first answer."

It's embarrassing for me! After complaining silently, Franka said while thinking:

"Edict is equivalent to, gift, yes, gift!

"This 'Shadow of Armor' named Chen Di has been granted a position within the Church or in the realm of the gods, thus gaining the corresponding gift power to guard evil spirits.

"It is not given directly by the gods, but by the head of that sect, the ceremony is performed on behalf of the gods, and it is bestowed by giving titles."

After listening carefully, Lumian probably had a clearer understanding of the matter of the edict:

A more institutionalized system of gifts not only binds the power of gifts to the depth of specific positions, but also allows the agents of the gods to play a more important role.

"That's basically it, if you want to talk in depth, it will involve a lot, and you can't finish it in a short period of time, such as, heaven, earth, rituals, receiving the gong, etc., etc., etc., many of them are not very clear to me, but I just know a noun." Franka exhaled.

Seeing that Mr. "Hanged Man" and Lumian were still looking at her, she trembled in her heart and said, "You guys, you won't really let me talk about it, right?"

The "hanging man" nodded slightly:

"I know it's very difficult for you to talk on the spot, and there will be a lot of mistakes, you can go back and slowly recall and organize it to form a written document and pass it to me through your big Arcana card."

"Okay." Franca first congratulated Mr. "The Hanged Man" for being very talkative, reasonable, and good at thinking from other people's point of view, and then muttered silently:

Why did I say yes at once.....

The "Hanged Man" has a rather dignified temperament, but no obvious arrogance, and he smiles and says, "After you get the paperwork, you can think about what kind of reward you want."

Franca has a lot to want, for example, there are magical items like "Hum Ha Technique", a seal that allows her to "teleport", and the potion recipe for Sequence 5 "Witch of Pain".

She struggled to think about the pay, almost forgetting to explain the term "Taoism" until Lumian reminded her.

After pondering for more than ten or twenty seconds, Franca said in a very simple way:

"That is to worship the laws of the world and the corresponding philosophy, and shape them into a sect that worships special gods, and their leader is called 'Heavenly Master', which means a teacher who understands the way of heaven and spreads the way of heaven, uh, that's how I understand it, 'The way of heaven' is the law of operation of the world and the corresponding philosophy I just said."

"The Heavenly Master" is equivalent to the Pope, the Pope, the Patriarch, and the Mother of the Lord, and belongs to different names for the leaders of different sects?" Lumien tried to extract the point.

Franka was stunned for a second and said, "It can be understood that way."

As long as you don't consider joining Taoism, there is no big problem with such an understanding.

Lu Mian nodded immediately: "It sounds like 'Heavenly Master' and 'Underworld Daoist' are at the same level."

"I think so too." Franka couldn't agree more.

When the two communicated, Alger "The Hanged Man" rarely interjected, and listened quietly most of the time, only occasionally expressing a personal idea or asking a little question, so that the conversation went on smoothly, and Lumian and Franca talked a lot in one breath.

Finally, the holder of the Great Arcana card looked at Lumian and said, "The three answers of the Shadow of the Armor have been of great help to me, what do you want?"

Great help? Except for giving us a better understanding of that world, knowing that the missing Penglai Sacred Mountain has reappeared, there is no practical significance...... Lumian heeded the reminder of the "magician" lady and spoke without hesitation, "I want to explore the opportunities of this ghost ship."

Franka didn't expect Lumian to ask for such a reward, she was a little stunned at first, and then became excited: I also want to, I also want to have the opportunity to pilot the ghost ship and study the ghost ship!

The "Hanged Man" glanced at Lumian and said:

"You've sensed the specialness of the Blue Avenger, it's one of the legacies of the Tudor Empire, do you want to explore it now?

Before Lumian could answer, the majestic cascading voice of Termipollos sounded in his head: "Danger."

Dangerous...... Really? Was Temmeboulos alerted me out of sheer fear of being implicated by me, or was he afraid that I had something special to gain from exploring the Blue Avenger that might sabotage the catastrophe that Trier was hiding and make his plan fail? Lumian didn't know whether to believe Themipolos' words or not.

In a strong voice, Termipoulos continued:

"If you want to make Arista. Tudor is resurrected in your body, so you can explore it now. ”

Lumian didn't care what Termipolos said, and remembered the previous prompt from the "magician" lady:

Decide for yourself when to explore.....

What does this mean is that a postponement could be considered? Otherwise, there is no need to add such a sentence at all, .......just say "reward for the opportunity to explore", Aurel's favorite concept is "balance", and the various negative effects in my body are temporarily in a state of balance, so there is no need to rush to strengthen the aura of the "Blood Emperor......

Lumian, who has become a "conspirator", quickly decides: "Mr. Hanged Man, I want to explore the Blue Avenger again when the time is right."
