Chapter 1038

~10 min read 1,961 words

Glancing at the end of the stairs where it was pitch black and the bottom could not be seen, Lu Mian took out a mirror and triggered the contract ability on his body.

He immediately sensed the mark on the full-length mirror in the Tudor treasure, and could drill into the mirror and shuttle over at any time.

Maintaining this sense, Lu Mian reminded Franca and Jenna:

"Walk along the two sides later, stick tightly."

According to his experience, walking down the stairs like this would enter the reflection range of that full-length mirror.

For Beyonders of other pathways, what they need to guard against is just the hallucinations generated by it, scaring themselves crazy, scaring themselves to death. But if "Hunters" and "Witches" let their figures be reflected on that full-length mirror, they might be seized by the long-fallen Alista Tudor with the help of the pre-reserved layout, and resurrected.

Lu Mian felt that with Alista Tudor's degree of madness, he shouldn't mind whether the one returning was the "Blood Emperor" or the "Blood Empress," so "Witches" also had to be careful.

"Hmm." Franca and Jenna had heard Lu Mian talk about what dangers were in the Tudor treasure a long time ago.

Even if they didn't know, under the current situation, they would listen to the advice first and find an opportunity to ask why later.

Lu Mian maintained the triggering of the mirror image mark and let the remaining aura of the "Blood Emperor" on his right palm turn from light to thick, covering it with paleness.

He hadn't walked down the stairs step by step yet when Ms. "Magician's" voice suddenly rang in his ears:

"I have located that mirror image mark of yours."

Accompanied by the answer in her voice, dots of brilliant starlight lit up, enveloping Lu Mian and the others.

After vision recovered, Franca found herself located in a corridor that seemed to be condensed from starlight.

On both sides of this corridor were gates of starlight standing in the darkness, the bottom was translucent, and one could see endless darkness. There was no dome on the head, and illusory stars were dotted in the high, distant place.

And at the end of this deep and spacious corridor, a silver full-length mirror with a classical shape and complex patterns all around was placed.

Almost at the same time, Franca and Jenna noticed Ms. "Magician" raise her right hand and grab forward lightly.

Around that silver full-length mirror, the space suddenly bent, forming a sealed sphere in the state of deep shadow, blocking the entry of all light.

Lu Mian and the others could not see that silver full-length mirror, and that silver full-length mirror could not reflect them either.

"This way we can be a bit freer." Ms. "Magician" said with a smile.

She, wearing a black-bottomed silver-patterned magic robe, turned to Lu Mian, Franca, and Jenna:

"You can choose the treasure room. I will handle the danger inside."

Franca and Jenna looked at Lu Mian with a swish, waiting for him to demonstrate for the two of them.

Lu Mian looked left and right, walking slowly along the deep and spacious corridor, and said casually:

"Above the gray mist, when I mentioned Madam Pualis and Omebella, I also talked about a worry."

"What worry?" Franca asked cooperatively.

She and Jenna could both roughly guess that Lu Mian wanted to use chatting to distract his own mind and rely purely on spiritual intuition and the characteristics, aura, and pollution on his body to choose the treasure room.

Lu Mian, in the state of "Despair Witch" with black hair scattered, looked at Ms. "Magician" and Mr. "Hanged Man" and said:

"At the end of the awakening operation, there are two things I cannot understand:

"First, why did the 'Primordial Witch' have no movement, and second, since the 'Great Mother' side clearly made many arrangements in the dream city, why didn't they try to stop it.

"The fact that interference from other existences did not appear was expected. The Celestial Worthy would not wait until they were prepared and could effectively interfere with the situation inside the dream before letting Zhou Shasha come over. In that way, what might be pressed down would be his hope of success. Moreover, Anderson would burn down the 'Color Painting Hotel' and 'Mute Studio' there, not giving the god who believes in the 'Fantasy Society' a chance to intervene, and Mushu Hospital also had true gods suppressing it.

"But the 'Great Mother' sent Madam Pualis to bring the baby Omebella to be the dean of Mushu Hospital, so how come not a single splash was made?

"Her power in the dream city is not limited to Mushu Hospital. Whether it is Green, who was originally active outside the hospital, or Lu Yongan, who can freely enter and exit the hospital, they could effectively avoid the suppression of Mushu Hospital by true gods and do something."

"Maybe it was the Peng Deng, Grisha, and Amon side that didn't appear in the final stage blocking it?" Jenna guessed.

"This is one possibility." Ms. "Magician" said her statement at the Tarot Club, "But I have a bad premonition. Perhaps the 'Great Mother' has already achieved her goal in a way that is in our blind spot of thinking."

"My experience is also that abnormal calm must have a problem." Mr. "Hanged Man" emphasized.

Franca took a breath and cast her gaze toward Lu Mian.

Lu Mian understood what she meant and smiled:

"The only revelation Mr. Fool gave regarding the 'Great Mother' was: become an 'Ageless Witch,' borrow the 'Gift of the Earth,' and face the 'Abscessed Broken Hand'."

After saying this sentence, Lu Mian suddenly had inspiration, turned to the right, and pushed open a semi-transparent gate condensed from starlight.

The light behind the door was dim, and no attack appeared.

Lu Mian waited for two seconds before passing through the gate and entering the room.

What caught his eyes was a pitch-black coffin.

This coffin was different from the rectangular coffins used daily in Trier; it had a clear arc, one end big and one end small, and the surface was carved with many bird and tree patterns.

"Eh..." Franca's head poked out from Lu Mian's shoulder, "This is a Western Continent-style coffin, right? Where did the 'Blood Emperor' get it?"

She already knew that the Western Continent was the country she was in before transmigration, which had evolved after thousands or tens of thousands of years or even longer.

And from the language of the "Armor Shadow" Chen Tu, which she could barely understand, and its dress, Franca felt that the civilization of the Western Continent might not have had a break like the Northern and Southern Continents and had maintained a certain continuity. The shape of the coffin in front of her seemed to be another piece of evidence.

As for why the language and style of the Western Continent "regressed" into the "ancient times" in her impression when the civilization had not had a break, she couldn't think of a reason for the time being.

The known "transmigrators" were all in the Northern and Southern Continents and the original Eastern Continent!

No, "Mystic Queen" said that the Ancient Sun God was not a "person in a cocoon" like us, and there was another "transmigrator" whose identity had not been exposed... As Franca's thoughts gradually diverged, Lu Mian and Ms. "Magician" had already walked to the pitch-black coffin in the style of the Western Continent, and the latter let the lid slide to one side on its own, falling onto the translucent ground.

Franca looked over and saw a beautiful face with eyes tightly closed, pale and cold, saw the gorgeous phoenix crown and rosy cape, and saw the bright red color.

"Chinese-style wedding dress... bride's corpse... I fuck, what exactly is the 'Blood Emperor' doing?" Franca blurted out.

Before her voice fell, the pitch-black coffin with pine, cypress, and crane patterns trembled violently.

A pale, delicate hand with gray-white, deformed, long, sharp, and cold nails pressed silently on the edge of the coffin.

Accompanied by this action, Franca and Jenna's lips suddenly became dry, as if they were being baked.

Outside the treasury, the "Blue Avenger," sailing in the wind and waves, fell downward suddenly.

The wind stopped, the waves calmed, and water vapor rose on the blue sea, evaporating quickly.

The surface of the "Blue Avenger" began to crack at a speed visible to the naked eye. Even though the ghost ship's consciousness had been trying hard to repair it, it could not stop the deepening trend.

Inside the Tudor treasury, in the corresponding room.

Lu Mian grabbed Ms. "Magician" before she could give the female corpse in the coffin a storm-like attack and stretched out his right palm.

His palm was spotted with dark red, covered with paleness, and a deep black "pinhole" emitted an indescribable aura.

The female corpse wearing the bright red wedding dress and golden phoenix crown in Franca's mouth stopped trembling, no longer having the feeling that she would climb up at any time. That delicate but pale hand slid down slowly and returned to the side of the corpse.

All abnormalities disappeared accordingly.

"The power of the 'Disaster Witch'." Ms. "Magician" looked for a few seconds with eyes as brilliant as the starry sky, "And, the power of the 'Undead'... Can the gifts of these two pathways be put together?"

While speaking, she and Mr. "Hanged Man" both looked at Lu Mian.

Lu Mian looked at the pitch-black "pinhole" in his palm and said to himself thoughtfully:

"Perhaps it can..."

This thing seemed to be a fusion of the "Blood Emperor's" remaining aura, "War Bishop" gift, "Nether Daoist" seal, and "Witch" card position and knowledge.

Since such a hodgepodge could be put together, the power of the "Witch" and "Death" pathways picked out separately should also be fine.

Ms. "Magician" and Mr. "Hanged Man" fell into deep thought, while Franca associated the state of the female corpse and the performance just now from the two terms "Disaster Witch" and "Undead."

She said in astonishment:

"This, this wouldn't be a drought demon, right?

"The 'Blood Emperor' brought a drought demon to the Northern Continent?

"How did he do it?"

Wasn't it said that the Western Continent was sealed by the Celestial Worthy's power and one had to wait for Mr. Fool to truly gain an advantage to open the barrier and enter and exit freely?

Before that, shouldn't one only be able to do some secret rituals?

Even if the "Blood Emperor" really opened a passage before he died, trying to drag the gods to fall together, that passage was also sealed in the Fourth Era Trier. The "Blood Emperor" shouldn't have had time to send this drought demon to the "Blue Avenger"...

Hearing Franca's words, Ms. "Magician" turned her body and explained:

"The power doesn't come from Beyonder characteristics, it might originate from the Western Continent or somewhere else, but the person is from the Northern Continent."

"Uh..." Franca looked carefully and found that the female corpse's hair in the coffin was light yellow, and the facial features were quite deep.

"Man-made drought demon?" Franca realized, "'Blood Emperor' obtained strange knowledge through secret rituals, this is the product of the experiment? Phoenix crown, rosy cape, and coffin are part of the knowledge, part of the ritual?"

Lu Mian nodded and looked at the female corpse:

"If we let her wake up, can we help her regain her sanity?"

Ms. "Magician" shook her head slowly:

"She was born a monster."

Jenna's expression was slightly complicated, and she breathed a sigh of relief secretly:
