Chapter 49: The Same Dream
"007", wearing a lion's hood, blocked Franca, gritted his teeth and said:
"Hidden Blade, thank you so much for the information, I may be on assignment now."
"Huh?" Franka said she didn't understand.
Where do the expatriates go? If you're on assignment, who am I going to report to in Trier?
"007" glanced at the "Muggle" who was standing quietly next to him, took a breath and said, "I may go to Fenerport once as an assistant to see if I can recover the seal."
"After all, it's the seal lost by Intis, and it's not too good to fall into the hands of the Fenerport Kingdom."
"Will the Fenerporters allow you to go to their country to enforce the law? Isn't it troublesome to cooperate across borders?" Franka kind of understood what "007" was complaining about.
"007" thought for a moment and said: "It's still going through the process, but the Fenerport people are not too opposed this time, it seems that they want to remove the hidden dangers caused by the seal as soon as possible, and they need to guard against a lot, so they can't draw a lot of manpower to surround and intercept, so they simply borrow our strength."
There are many things that the "Mother Earth" church and the kingdom of Fenerport need to guard against, and the manpower is a little tight? This is a problem of a single-church state, and the accumulation is not as great as that of the two churches and the three churches combined? It's not right, there is still a royal family in the kingdom of Fenerport, and the extraordinary people of the church can't only go the way where the gods are..... Lumian heard something unusual in "007's" words.
This made him feel that the internal troubles of the kingdom of Fenerport would not be less than that of the multi-god-church country.
"That's right......" Franca suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "I have a way to keep you from being dispatched!"
"What's the solution?" 007" asked not too convincingly.
Franka laughs, "If you have an important mission going on in Trier, you don't have to send them abroad."
"Important task ......" "007" repeated in a low voice, and suddenly had a bad premonition.
Franka took the opportunity to say, "We found another 'Fragment of the World in the Mirror', in an ancient chamber on the fourth floor of the Catacombs."
"Now, the 'man in the mirror' who is tracking down Trier has clues and directions, as long as you report it and say that you are investigating, you should not be sent to Fenerport."
"007" stared at Franka, who was wearing an assassin's suit, for a few seconds, raised his hand and rubbed the corner of his forehead, and said heavily, "I thank you, 'Hidden Blade!'"
Franka pretended not to hear the hidden meaning of "007", and said to herself: "That tomb is near the 'Crazy Mushroom Cave', the tomb door is open, there are no obvious features, please go find the information when the catacombs were built, and see which tomb it is included in, and which ancient family it belongs to, so that we can figure out why the special 'Man in the Mirror' went in and died there."
"007" took a breath and exhaled slowly, "You're really fit to be my boss."
Tasks will be arranged!
Franka chuckled dryly and changed the subject: "Do you know what the 'Crazy Mushroom Hole' is?" That kind of dead and dark, tightly sealed place can still grow mushrooms, and so many. ”
"Besides, that's probably the only place in the fourth crypt where mushrooms grow."
"007" nodded lightly and said: "I know a little bit about this, I was also very curious about the mushroom cave at the time, I checked a little information, and found that it was originally very normal, it was a naturally formed rock cave between the ancient tombs, and when the catacombs were built, some of the ancient corpses were moved in, and within a few weeks, it was full of mushrooms, and the entrance and exit were sealed."
Combined with the extraordinary power changes brought about by the official formation of the seal and the problems of some ancient corpses, there is such a crazy mushroom hole? Lumian thoughtfully analyzed the reason.
Seeing that the Muggles had been listening quietly and had not interjected, 007 nodded politely and turned to the "Temple" group.
Franka couldn't help but chuckle twice: "He's so polite to you, if you know that most of his troubles and fatigue are brought by you, his expression must be funny."
Lumian smiled: "But the matter of the 'man in the mirror' has nothing to do with me."
As they spoke, the two walked towards the corner where the "Academy" group was located.
In the process, Lumian suddenly said to Franka, "You say, among all the members of the research society, especially those who have settled in Trier, will anyone have been replaced by the 'Man in the Mirror'?"
"It can't be.... Don't scare me!" Franka was shocked.
Lumian controlled the urge to pout his lips and not spoil his sister's good image: "What's impossible? Any citizen of Trier could be replaced by the 'Man in the Mirror', regardless of whether you are a member of the Covert Order or not. “
"Moreover, most of these people in the research society are extraordinary, and many of them have a strong spirit of exploration, and the probability of encountering unexpected and extraordinary events is higher than that of ordinary people."
Franka nodded solemnly, feeling that this risk could not be ruled out.
"You're a member of the review committee, so you'll have to communicate with Ms. Hela and them about the situation, and make some observations in secret." Lumian reminded.
It is uncertain if the "Man in the Mirror" has any memories of his time traveling, and if so, they can easily bypass the contract drawn up by the censorship, and they will not be aware of any problems with the other members of the Society, and will hardly be exposed as long as they do not murder others.
"Okay." Franka replied solemnly.
At this time, in the corner where the "Academy" group was located, there were already many familiar members of Lumian, including the "Professor", "Associate Professor" couple, "Principal", "Periodic Table", "Bear", "Griffin", "Isotope", etc.
Several of them were disguised differently than before, but Lumian was used to it as someone who didn't want to go to a "masquerade" in a repetitive appearance, when their general image, verbal conversation, and chest tags could help others pinpoint their identity.
Greeting each other in turn, Lumian and Franka each took a spot.
After a few minutes, Franka raised her hand and said, "Does anyone sell linguistic items?" I have a friend who is going abroad and wants to prepare a little. ”
After listening to her request, some people laughed, and some people pursed their mouths, the former wanted to ask "Is your friend yourself", and the latter remembered the core member of "April Fool's Day" who brought a lot of disasters to the research society.
The "bear" urn, which had encased himself in the brown bear's holster, said in the Guphosak language: "I have a linguistic charm that can achieve a similar effect."
"Verbal spells?" Franka asked rhetorically with interest.
After being proficient in Gufsak for many years, she has mastered the languages of other countries in the Northern Continent such as Rune and Plateau with relative ease, but she cannot understand those in the Southern Continent.
The member of the "Academy" team, codenamed "Bear", swept the "Hidden Blade" with coffee-colored eyes: "Yes, the essence is to temporarily enhance and change the 'mind body', improve the ability to understand, reason and communicate, and attach a part of the knowledge of the corresponding language, use one piece, the effect can last for seven days." you
"There are currently three types of language mantras, the lowest level is the ability to understand and speak all the languages of the Gufsak family, and the least difficult to make is to use only ......"
"Bear" paused for a moment and converted it according to the current exchange rate: "1000 Filkin."
"The middle level corresponds to all ordinary languages, 2,000 Filkin, and the highest level allows you to master a designated supernatural language for a short time, 5,000 Filkin."
"Hidden Blade, which do you want?"
After listening carefully, Franka always felt that the "bear" looked at her with a subtle look, with a little pity and pity.
Was he pitying me for having the courage to try to drink the "witch" potion in the first place? Franca muttered in her heart, not looking at the Muggles, and made her own decision: "Three lowest-level linguistic charms, one medium-level."
"Uh, can I get a discount?"
She felt that Lumian would inevitably go to the Southern Continent to track down "Hisoka" in the future, so it was better to prepare a medium-level language talisman now.
"I can't." "Bear" shook his head.
"Okay." Franka has no talent for bargaining, but often asks a question so as not to be annoyed afterwards.
When she paid the money and agreed on the delivery method, the "professor" wearing a butterfly-shaped black mask looked around, and said thoughtfully: "I, the 'associate professor', and several 'wizards' I know, have often had strange dreams recently, and there is a wilderness in the dream, and there are many wandering and unclear figures in the wilderness."
"Do you have one too?"
She was asking about the "wizards" in the "Academy" group.
Wilderness...... Wandering figure... Are you talking about the "other world" of which "lady"? No, how could a "wizard" dream of the "other world"?, Lumian's brow furrowed slightly by the silver-white half-face mask.
Seeing that several other "wizards" said that they had similar dreams, but the frequency and clarity of the dreams decreased significantly over time, Lumian, who played Auror, also nodded and replied with a question: "When did you first start dreaming about this?"
It can't be an anomaly created by the "Hidden Sage", right?
"The Professor" had apparently confirmed the question: "My husband and wife and those friends all started last month after the night of the horrible rainstorm in Trier."
She knew that the "Muggles" were also in Trier, and knew what day she was referring to.
The sudden and terrifying rainstorm was the night the "hostel" ceremony opened........ was affected by the power of the seal leakage? There is also a high-level power sealed in the path of the "Voyeur"? Or is there a certain relationship between the fallen monks of the Deep Valley Monastery and the "Hidden Sage", and this evil god did something secretly at that time, leaving some power in the real world? Lumian said thoughtfully:
"I've heard that something happened to the Deep Valley Monastery in Trier that night, and that the 'Knowledgeable' and 'Voyeur' paths are adjacent."
The "Professor", "Associate Professor" and others all looked at the "Muggle", but they did not expect that this companion, who had only moved to Trier for a few months, knew something very secretive about the local area.
Lumian continued slowly, "Shouldn't we ask the 'Knowledgeables' to see if they have similar dreams?"
What a great idea! Franka praised silently.
