Chapter 1036: Tarot Club (End of Volume)

When the dream collapsed rapidly, Lu Mi withdrew his gaze, left the edge of the deep darkness, and walked toward the outside of the Yangdu High-Speed Railway Station, which was also disintegrating.

He wanted to take one last look at this city.

Suddenly, he discovered that at the exit where radiance coalesced, a figure was standing quietly with his back against the wall.

That figure was wearing black armor stained as if with fresh blood, with long hair red as fire, a young and handsome appearance, a not-so-obvious wound on each side of his cheeks, and a bright red banner imprint protruding from the center of his forehead.

He was not blurry like other dream images, nearly disintegrating, but was different from Lu Mi's clarity, presenting a kind of illusory feeling, as if a spirit body.

Lu Mi did not need to ask; he already knew who this figure was:

"Red Angel" Medici.

"Are you here to wait for me?" Lu Mi asked with a smile.

He had already prepared to leave here following the trend of the dream's collapse.

Medici left the wall, stood up straight, and sneered:

"If you were stupid enough not to understand the hint, I would have been the one to step up and replace you."

He looked into Lu Mi's eyes, shook his head, and said:

"Too weak. You are still too weak right now."

After sighing, this "Red Angel" slightly raised his chin and said:

"I already know your experiences. I will give you a chance. Wait until you become an angel, then come and hunt you."

"Don't thank me. This has nothing to do with pride. The pride of the Red Priest pathway is not used against enemies."

Medici did not give Lu Mi a chance to respond, turned around, walked into the passage, and left the Yangdu High-Speed Railway Station, leaving the dream that was about to completely disintegrate.

You waited until the end just to say these two sentences to me? Entering the dream this time, you should have also achieved some unknown goals, right? Lu Mi turned his body and cast his gaze toward that deep darkness again.

His biggest doubt now was where the god "Primordial Witch" was.

The matter of Franca advancing in the basement of the Eye of Truth Hospital showed that the "Primordial Witch" indeed had a corresponding image in the dream city. But in the major event involving the great terror of the special mirror world, the original God, the "Witch" card, and the end of the dream, She did not appear or intervene at all.

Lu Mi had not yet thought of anything when the Yangdu High-Speed Railway Station collapsed silently.

He first had a sense of weightlessness as if falling off a cliff, then opened his eyes and woke up.

He immediately saw some sunlight piercing through the curtains, and a large amount of dust suspended in the air.

At the same time, faint singing, praises, and sounds of communication came from next door, entering his ears.

Lu Mi lay quietly on the bed, feeling only that the mattress was very elastic and the quilt was very soft and warm, making him not want to move at all.

…………

Half an hour later, inside the first-floor living room.

Ms. "Magician" said to Lu Mi, Franca, Jenna, Anthony, and Ludwig, who was eating afternoon tea, all gathered together again:

"Mr. 'Fool' has initially awakened, and we will fulfill our promise.

"You all did very well this time and deserve the most generous rewards. The result of our discussion is to go all out and help you advance by one sequence."

Jenna did not hide her own desire and nodded:

"Thank you."

Lu Mi, Franca, and the others also had no objections and were quite expectant.

Ms. "Magician" looked around and said:

"Of course, this may need to wait a few days, because Mr. 'Fool's' initial awakening will inevitably trigger many changes that need to be handled in time. Other Major Arcana cards are already busy.

"Moreover, you also need to adjust for a period of time, get rid of the influence of the dream, and find back the perception of reality."

Having said this, Ms. "Magician" looked at Lu Mi and asked for confirmation:

"Do you want to become an 'Unaging Witch' or a 'War Bishop'?"

Lu Mi did not hesitate:

"'Unaging Witch'."

Hearing Lu Mi's answer, Franca immediately remembered the description of "Unaging Witch" on the "Witch" card:

Weird and hard to kill, good at resurrection.

Good at resurrection... You really don't want to wait even a day more, even if it's just taking the first step... Franca sighed inwardly.

At this time, Lu Mi raised his right hand, letting his palm face the ceiling:

Besides having a few dark red imprints and a patch of pale skin, there was also an extra pitch-black "pinhole."

He said to Ms. "Magician" and his companions:

"After using the 'Witch' card this time, with the magic mirror as a medium, to induce the great terror deep within the special mirror world to deal with the 'Mirror Person' created by the Celestial Worthy, the residual aura of the 'Blood Emperor' and the seal of the 'Daoist of the Netherworld' have changed a little.

"I can use this 'pinhole' to use the 'War Bishop' power gifted before to a limited extent. There is no need to repeat the advancement."

Ms. "Magician" nodded gently:

"Go to the treasury of the 'Blue Avenger' in a few days. There may be items related to 'Unaging Witch' there. If not, I will ask Mr. Azik for help to go to the depths of the Netherworld again. There will inevitably be 'Unaging Witch' Beyonder characteristics there."

Lu Mi and Franca had no objections.

After Ms. "Magician" left, Lu Mi, in the state of "Despair Witch," leaned back against the sofa and smiled at Franca and the others:

"Now is sunbathing time."

Jenna was silent for a few seconds and said:

"I want, I want to go see Luo Shan in reality."

"Hmm." Franca nodded heavily in agreement.

"Alright." Lu Mi had originally planned to go tomorrow.

…………

At dusk, Loen Kingdom, Tingen City, Red Moon Street.

Jenna, Franca, and Lu Mi sat in a roadside cafe, watching two figures, one big and one small, walking from afar.

The big one was about thirty years old, her brown hair was coiled into a high bun, she wore a thin gauze round-brimmed hat, and was dressed in a green long dress that was somewhat girlish but leaned toward maturity, with fluttering lotus-leaf edges at the cuffs and beautiful lace at the collar.

She had a beautiful face, holding a paper bag containing white bread in one hand and holding a three- or four-year-old girl who looked like a little princess in the other. She was exactly Luo Shan, a civilian staff member of the "Nighthawks" team of the "Evernight Goddess" Church.

Compared to the Luo Shan in the dream, she was clearly much older, and her temperament was more stable, but her dressing style revealed that she still hid that lively side in her heart.

Jenna and Franca's vision blurred instantly.

Lu Mi, in his female state, watched Luo Shan and her daughter passing by, chatting and laughing, so quietly that he seemed to have turned into a statue.

After Luo Shan and her daughter passed this cafe, the three witches moved their gazes, following their backs.

The golden-red afterglow sprinkled on Luo Shan and her daughter, and the evening breeze sent their laughter to the ears of Jenna, Franca, and Lu Mi:

"Mom, what is a hero?"

"A hero is someone who protects others."

"Why do others need protection?"

"Why protect others?"

"Why? Why?"

"Mom, why?"

…………

A few days later, Monday noon.

Lu Mi and the others met Ms. "Magician" again.

This Major Arcana card sat on the chair opposite the coffee table and said to Lu Mi and Franca:

"You are both demigods now, and you have made great contributions, so you are qualified to draw a Major Arcana card."

"Mr. 'Fool' allowed it?" Lu Mi asked.

Ms. "Magician" was filled with a sense of relaxation:

"Yes, but as a team, you can currently only draw one Major Arcana card. Who will draw it?"

Franca looked at Lu Mi and hesitated for a few seconds:

"You draw it."

She really wanted to see what she could draw, and also thought that the identity of a Major Arcana card of the "Tarot Club" was very prestigious, but thinking that from then on she would have to be responsible for a set of affairs as a Major Arcana card and often have to engage in brainstorming, she had a headache and planned to let Lu Mi take the lead first to see what it would be like.

"Then are you willing to draw it?" Ms. "Magician" asked Lu Mi.

Lu Mi thought for a while and said:

"Draw it."

Ms. "Magician" said seriously:

"After becoming a Major Arcana card, 'The Hierophant II,' 'The Hierophant VII,' and 'The Sword IV' will all be transferred under your card face.

"A Major Arcana card symbolizes not only you personally, but also the force you represent."

"I understand." Lu Mi nodded slowly.

Only then did Ms. "Magician" take out a deck of Tarot cards containing only Major Arcana cards and spread them out on the coffee table:

"You can draw now."

"Won't I draw a duplicate?" Franca asked curiously.

Ms. "Magician" smiled:

"Spirituality will provide guidance."

Lu Mi looked at the Tarot cards on the coffee table, stretched out his right hand, took one at random, and turned it over in front of him.

What entered the eyes of Franca and the others was a large flower wreath intertwined with green plants and a woman standing inside the wreath.

"The World" card!

Franca and Jenna both looked at Lu Mi, who was in a female state, with a sense of astonishment:

Actually drew "The World" card?

What is this because of?

Although Gehrman Sparrow now points to Mr. 'Fool,' the legend of "The World" has not disappeared yet!

Lu Mi did not speak, revealing a thoughtful expression.

Ms. "Magician" was silent for a few seconds and said:

"Draw another one."

Lu Mi nodded in agreement.

This time, he drew two cards and placed them on his left and right respectively.

After staring at these two Tarot cards for a while, he, with a bright appearance, suddenly laughed:

"Men on the left, women on the right. I want the one on the left."

After saying this, he turned the Tarot card on his left hand to the front without hesitation.

On the card face was a king standing on a chariot, with two lions, one black and one white, pulling the chariot.

"The Chariot" card!

"Not bad." Ms. "Magician" stood up, "Welcome to join, 'Chariot,' um, sir."

After Lu Mi finished responding, Franca asked curiously:

"Can I see what the card on the right is?"

"Yes." Ms. "Magician" nodded at her.

Franca turned it over and saw a woman sitting on a chair wearing a crown.

"The Empress" card.

"As expected..." Ms. "Magician" sighed, then turned to Lu Mi and said, "This afternoon at 3 PM, wait in the room, um, Backlund time."

…………

At 3 PM, inside a bedroom of the luxury villa.

Lu Mi held the "Chariot" card, sat in an armchair, and waited patiently.

Suddenly, chaotic and terrifying sounds rang in his ears, and a thin gray-white mist appeared before his eyes.

Just a second or two later, he found himself beside a bronze long table, with a broad and spectacular dome above his head and towering, majestic stone pillars all around.

Lu Mi immediately saw Ms. "Justice," Ms. "Magician," Ms. "Judgment," Ms. "Hermit," and the lady from the Temperance faction wearing a black court dress and a small matching soft hat sitting opposite him.

They all appeared blurry, but not that blurry.

Lu Mi also noticed that Mr. "Hanged Man," Mr. "Sun," Mr. "Star," and Mr. "Moon," whose identity could be inferred even though he hadn't seen him before, were on the same side as him.

At this time, no one was seated at the head or the end of the bronze long table.

"This is Ms. 'Temperance,' and this is Mr. 'Chariot.'" Ms. "Justice" calmly introduced Lu Mi, who was clearly female, as a sir.

Just at this moment, at the huge chair at the very top of the bronze long table, a figure was gradually outlined.

He was within the gray fog, his figure quite blurry, allowing Lu Mi and the others to only see clearly the half-height silk top hat and the black trench coat.

Looking at this figure that was both familiar and strange, Ms. "Justice" took a breath, stood up, lifted her skirt slightly, and bowed.

"Good afternoon, Mr. 'Fool'."
