- Lovers, hanged people, the sun.

This hole card has nothing to do with good or bad, it just hints at the nature of power.

All three answers have been given by the invisible apostle.

Perhaps there are other possibilities for the Flame Butterfly. But this is the positive and negative position and the order of the cards, which are the divination results made by the divination of the soothsayer "Yulia".

After Ivus received an answer, the prayer service was about to end.

The candle flame in front of him suddenly began to flutter uneasily, and the light of the flame became slender and pale, as if urging something.

Ivus knew that he was urging him to destroy the items used in the ritual.

This is the normal flow of the prayer service. Otherwise, it may anger the coming apostles.

Because these blood-stained tarot cards have been impregnated with the aura of power of this apostle. It's like a signature or seal, which can be seen as the identity mark of the other party.

If they fall into the hands of someone else, they can be used as ritual material, to invoke other apostles, or even to the Nine Pillars, who will think that this person was introduced by the apostle, and therefore respond more easily to the ritual. Only with the consent of the apostles could a small amount of sanctified material be left.

And attempting to leave someone else's material behind during a ritual without permission can lead to unnecessary attacks.

So Ivas respectfully handed the blood-soaked tarot cards to the candle flame with both hands, indicating that he was really asking the question.

All of them caught fire and turned to ashes in an instant. It is like a fleeting flame shaking out of the hands of a trickster, and it is like a fire that ignites and extinguishes in the country in an instant through an iron pot.

And at the moment when these tarot cards burned out, the holes in Aihuas's hands, as well as the wounds on his thumb, were also quietly healed. Along with the phantom mana in his arms, he was easily cleared.

The elongated candle flame licked the back of Ivus's hand, but it didn't burn him. On the contrary, it made him feel warm.

Eivas carefully washed all the blood from his hands in the fire, and then tapped his left hand on his heart, mouth, and forehead.

"Thank you for your revelation, Apostle of the Candle."

The white-haired young man solemnly said to the candle flame in front of him in the dark room: "I will be like a candle flame and will be bright forever." ”

As if encouraging, the elongated candle flame jumped three times.

Immediately, the light of the fire reverted to its original color and shape.

The feeling of being watched by something dissipated in him.

Evas carefully extinguished the candle to make sure that the ritual was over and that the apostle would not be killed again.

When the candle flame was completely extinguished, Eivas breathed a sigh of relief.

He relaxed, leaning back in his wheelchair.

While this is a regular ability for a priest, other priests can also pray to the Nine Pillars - usually the most positive response is the apostle who consecrates the path, and does not require any sacrifices or costs. Because the act of helping believers without compensation is itself a kind of "giving".

But having said that, this was the first time Ivas had used a prayer ritual himself. He was still a little nervous.

“…… I forgot to ask His name. ”

Suddenly, Ivus patted his forehead with some annoyance.

Although I don't know who the apostle who responded to me is, the other party is quite friendly. Even before leaving, he would help himself heal by the way, and the provincial Aihuasi used the fire method again.

If he could know the other person's name, Evas would be able to pray to him next time.

Although it is not very friendly to catch a sheep...... But as long as the other party agrees, it is a matter of consensual thinking.

After a slight pause, Ivas pulled out the more expensive hardcover tarot cards he was actually using from the table.

In this deck, one "Moon" was used up when Evas was crafting "Shadow Blades".

Ivas felt that using the same deck of cards to make magic cards might increase the success rate a little.

Relying on the revelation given by the apostles, Ivus picked out the three tarot cards that were suitable for the Flame Butterfly. And put them on the table in the order of the heads and reverses when they were drawn, in an inverted triangle array.

Although he was asking about the nature of power before, it could actually be regarded as a tarot divination for Yulia.

It is also a tarot divination with the participation of high-dimensional forces.

The apostles of dreams are able to see the past and the future—time is not irreversible to them. It's just that because of the constraints of the dream world, the apostles can't tell mortals the exact future. Just as even if the number "1" is called, there can never be only one answer given by His apostles.

But just vague hints are also valuable.

“…… Fortunately, when I was crazy about occult knowledge, I read a lot of books. ”

Ivus breathed a sigh of relief.

The three cards drawn based on the power of the candle form the "Holy Triangle" unfold.

The three tarot cards in the Holy Triangle represent the past, present, and future. It is not a "trend", but a "causal cycle" – the cause of the "past" brings the effect of the "present", the cause of the "present" brings the effect of the "future", ...... the "future" hints at why the "past" developed the way it did.

Although he is not very good at interpreting tarot cards, he can still decipher this simple card array.

Can such a simple divination be interpreted wrong?

The first card symbolizes the reversed "lovers" of the past.

The reversal of the lover card in the past tense can indicate "quarrels", "naïve feelings", "weakened friendships", "although they are looking forward to their own growth, they want to avoid danger forever", and so on. The key interpretation point is that the relationship has weakened due to not passing the test brought by the relationship and making the wrong choice when "making trade-offs".

Ivus touched his chin and fell into thought.

Your relationship with Yulia has always been good, right?

Then it shouldn't be a matter of affection and friendship......

He shook his head and skipped over the card and went to the second card first.

It symbolizes the current upright position of the "upside-down hanged man".

It's a very positive card. It heralds "self-sacrifice", "dedication to love", "rebirth from the ashes". And "uprightness" indicates that the sacrifice is worthwhile.

“…… Wait a minute? ”

Ivus was stunned for a moment.

Speaking of which, Yulia in the game's plot sacrificed herself to become a phantom in order to protect Evas! At that time, her life form did indeed "leap forward", transforming from a mortal to an immortal illusion. And she did have this "rebirth" in the flames.

If "reality" refers to this, then the "future" that is pointed out in connection with this question ......

"The ...... of the Sun in Retroposition"

Ivus muttered.

The sun is a card that symbolizes energy and vitality. Reversed, on the other hand, indicates a decline in vitality and a fear of "want". For example, physical weakness, depression, or divorce due to emotional fluctuations.

This presumably means that in the original timeline, the flames of the Flame Butterfly would have been sealed into his necklace by Ihuas. Although he did not die, he fell into a state of distress and weakness.

And if the present and the future refer to the Illusion Demon Flame Butterfly, then what does the past refer to?

“…… Could it be the cause of the Phantom Riot? ”

Thinking of this, Aihuas's expression became a little subtle.

Could it be that Yulia really cares about her contact with other people?

…… It makes sense.

Yulia's most important person was Ivus herself, unlike Edward, who had spent more time with her adoptive father and therefore naturally cared more about his adoptive father's opinions, she was always closer to Ivus alone. If Ivas disagrees with James, Ivas can be sure that she will lean towards herself.

But even so, then I can't stay at home with you forever, baby.

- Ivus felt as if he knew something, but it didn't do much to know it. It is worthy of the interpretation of the "past", and people really cannot change the "past".

But when he thought about it, Ivus already knew which card he should choose as a background.

First of all, the lovers card is excluded. The card's key imagery is "love" and the choices that come with it. This doesn't matter to Flameflies...... From the form of the "butterfly that emerges from the cocoon", it is clear that its essence has nothing to do with love. This is supposed to be a simple hint at why it gets out of control, or what are the emotions and reasons that cause it to get out of control.

The Hanged Man is a card that symbolizes self-sacrifice, and it is a card that represents the candle. Therefore it also has the image of light and fire.

Use your body to nurture the Flame Butterfly and hatch it into a cocoon. This is conceptually closer to "Yulia" than to the Flame Butterfly inside her. If Ivus wanted to use any ritual to influence her, then the answer was correct - it channeled power precisely to Yulia, and the main seat was always her, not the illusion within her.

However, what Ivus really has to do is seal the illusion in her body.

The sun is a sign of knowledge, life force and energy – in the Sun card, a naked child sits on a white horse, bathed in the brilliant golden sun, holding aloft a banner of victory and singing the praises of the vitality that the sun has brought to the land. In the relationship between Yulia and the illusion, the "sun" that provides life force is actually Yulia...... In other words, the child who is the main body of this card is the "Flame Butterfly" that is about to be hatched!

Without a doubt, this is the best hole hand!

It is capable of filling the Flame Butterfly with enough energy to manifest in a form that emits light and heat. This concept is related to the way of devotion, which is governed by the candle.

Therefore, Aihuas can use the "hanging man" representing the candle as a signage to seal and suppress it!

Because the representation card is an upside-down hanged man, the beast that was made has the nature of "dedication path" - when Ivus uses this card to summon the Flame Butterfly, even if others come to test it, they can only detect the power that belongs to the dedication path!

Its energy attribute is fire, and the power of the path comes from dedication - if it looks like a priest skill, if it feels like a priest skill, how you test it, it looks like a priest skill.

That's undoubtedly a pastoral skill.

In addition, the two cards on the front and back of the blank cards are also used in the "recommendation cards" pointed out by the apostles. The effectiveness is self-evident.

"It's good that I left this ...... at the time"

Ivus thought as he took out the True Flame Essence from Yulia from his pocket.

At that time, he just subconsciously did it with the idea of "keeping a souvenir". It turns out to be really useful now.

Common materials that can carry fire-attribute mana, in addition to flame essence, include ruby, charcoal, cinnabar, sulfur, and saltpeter.

Aihuas cut his left thumb again, and every time he squeezed out three drops of fingertip blood, he put in a little fire attribute mana, so he invested four points of mana.

He used the white crystal rod to carefully mix the blood with the flame essence. It was now emitting steaming white heat, and the moisture in its blood was rapidly being roasted.

Ivus lay on the table, intently brushing it onto the tarot cards with his toothbrush before it dried. Make sure that the application is evenly enough.

He then grinds and mixes cinnabar and rubies in a ratio of six to one, spreading them evenly on tarot cards to nourish them.

It's different from the "Moon" crafting. The environment in which the card is contained must be sufficiently warm. But there is no open flame to be seen.

Ivas touched his chin and had an idea.

He took the card into a red cloth bag, filled it with a lot of charcoal powder, and smashed it flat. Make it into a pendant.

Ivus hung it on himself and prepared to go to bed.

When he gets up tomorrow, he can give it to Yulia...... Let her wear it close to her body.

It's just the right time to warm the card with the heat in her heart - if the illusion wakes up, the overflowing fire mana will also be sucked up by the vast amount of occult material filled with it.

Moreover, it can also allow the phantom to adapt to the environment after being sealed in advance.

- Arrange an internship period for Little Butterfly.

Even if it wasn't satisfied, Ivas wouldn't let it run away.
