Chapter 1051

After Franca was stunned, her first reaction was:

How did she know?

Although Franca had long guessed that the person in the "Star Dream Grocery Store" was the "Evernight Goddess" and believed that Madam "Hela" was highly valued by this deity—otherwise, the ancient palace in the Land of Night wouldn't have been taken out as a gathering place for the "Curly-Haired Baboons Research Society"—she had never thought that the "Evernight Goddess" would even tell "Hela" such a small thing as them entering Mr. "Fool's" dream.

Shouldn't she only mention Mr. "Fool" initially waking up?

"Hela" further said:

"Actually, I have long known the truth about the transmigration."

Franca, who had carefully prepared a set of rhetoric and intended to tell Madam "Hela" about the transmigration step by step to avoid her suffering too much impact, was completely dumbfounded:

When did this happen?

Before we knew it?

How did she know?

At this time, the waiter brought a glass of absinthe with dreamy green color and a triple espresso Lim coffee.

After "Hela" drank the glass of absinthe in one gulp, there were a few more expressions on her pale and cold face:

"After the Sea Prayer Ritual in Santa Harbor.

"After seeing the helpers you invited use those magics that seemed to come from fairy tales."

"Cinderella, Jack and the Beanstalk, Sleeping Beauty, these?" Franca recalled Madam "Hermit's" performance at that time and muttered to herself, "I thought they came from the fairy tales told by Emperor Roselle..."

"Hela" looked at Franca with pitch-black eyes and said:

"I applied for information in this regard and learned what the core ability of the 'Secrets Supplicant' pathway Sequence 4 'Mysticologist' is.

"It's called 'Mystic Re-enactment,' which can draw power from mastered occult knowledge to create magic or witchcraft. The fewer people who know the corresponding occult knowledge and the less it spreads, the stronger the created spell is."

Franca vaguely understood:

"Those fairy tales are not only stories but also occult knowledge?"

"This shows that they really happened in this world." "Hela" stated her conclusion, "From that day on, I knew we had always been in the original world; what passed was only time."

Franca suddenly recalled the look and attitude of Madam "Hela" when she mentioned Harrison and the hope of going home at the "Curly-Haired Baboons Research Society."

At that time, she had already guessed the truth...

At that time, she was looking at us with sadness and pity...

"Hela" drank the triple espresso Lim coffee and continued:

"I originally wanted to find an opportunity to reveal a little to you, but later the Harrison incident happened, and many of you were very excited and very expectant."

"For example, me." Franca smiled self-deprecatingly.

She took a sip of her coffee and asked hesitantly:

"Madam 'Hela,' should we tell the truth about the transmigration to other members?"

"Hela" had an idea early on:

"Not for the time being. Let those who haven't accepted reality live with hope.

"After the apocalypse passes, if everyone is still here, then tell them the truth slowly."

"That's true, having a little thought is a good thing." Franca agreed with emotion.

She then added:

"However, we can't let the thoughts in this regard become too strong, too intense, and too urgent. Otherwise, I'm worried that some of them will make relatively extreme choices and things."

After speaking, Franca saw a look of relief on Madam "Hela's" face.

"Hela" nodded and said:

"It's enough like this for now. Don't really catch Harrison."

"Even if we catch him, we can't tell them." Franca replied with tacit understanding.

She turned to ask:

"Should we talk about the apocalypse?"

"We can talk a little, emphasizing hope." "Hela" made the decision.

Same as my idea... Franca asked:

"When is the next gathering?"

"Strive for this week." "Hela" decided.

After discussing the business, Franca looked at "Hela's" pitch-black eyes and pale face, was silent for a few seconds, and said with feeling:

"Speaking of thoughts just now, do you have any other thoughts?"

This wasn't a question; she didn't expect an answer. She was just sighing.

What surprised her was that "Hela" actually answered.

This lady dressed as a black widow smiled faintly and said:

"My biggest thought now is to be able to get through the apocalypse.

"If the apocalypse crisis is lifted, and we are all still alive..."

As she spoke, she seemed to fall into memories:

"The most impressive gift in my life was the astronomical telescope my parents gave me, because I liked looking at the stars since I was a child, and liked fantasizing about what was in the vast starry sky...

"If I really get through the apocalypse, I have two dreams:

"First, this world develops into what we were like originally. It doesn't have to be exactly the same, just close is fine.

"Second, on the premise that those evil gods are far away and I can protect myself, I want to use my abilities or the help of some sealed artifacts to go to the starry sky and take a look, go to different star systems, and see different civilizations..."

Franca gradually became fascinated:

Such a life seems not bad...

Usually nest in Trier, enjoy modern life, and when bored, invite Jenna, Lu Mian, and Aurore, and Anthony, Ludwig, Madam 'Justice,' '007,' and them to form a tour group, go to other countries, other continents, other planets, other civilizations to travel together...

The starry sky is indeed very dangerous, and the apocalypse may not be overcome, but people always have to have some thoughts...

Looking at "Hela," who was talking softly, Franca suddenly felt that the image of this lady in her mind had become much more vivid.

She waved to call the waiter who was peeking at her from afar and asked for two glasses of sugar wine and two glasses of absinthe.

Picking up one of the sugar wines, she put on a gesture of clinking glasses. "Hela" didn't quite understand, but still raised the absinthe in her hand.

"This glass is for the hometown." Franca clinked glasses gently and drank her sugar wine.

After "Hela" drank the green liquid in her glass, she picked up the other glass of sugar wine and said with a smile and emotion:

"This glass is for the distance."

In the slight clinking sound, the two different colored wines swayed gently, and the light contained within them swam toward the surroundings.

…………

After returning to the luxury villa in the Art District, Franca said to Lu Mian:

"Madam 'Hela' said she would convene the gathering within this week, striving for before Saturday."

Lu Mian nodded and said:

"Madam 'Justice' also replied to us. The Knowledge Church agreed to the request, but some pre-processing and necessary preparations are needed. The time to go to the 'City of Exiles' is set for next Monday."

"That's good, Julian won't return to Trier until next Thursday." Franca looked at Jenna beside her, "Seriously, you have to trick your brother out in the near future and don't return to Trier within two years. If the information revealed by '007' is correct, Trier will be a key node for the outbreak of the apocalypse."

Jenna nodded solemnly:

"I'm thinking of a way."

"Suddenly there's nothing to do." Lu Mian suddenly smiled and picked up the wide-brimmed round hat with a veil placed on the side, "Let's go out for a walk."

"Your mindset has indeed improved. In the past, you would definitely be impatient. Waiting time is the hardest to endure." Franca said with emotion in a teasing way.

Jenna asked:

"Where to?"

Lu Mian smiled:

"Go to Lavigny Wharf, go to Mr. 'Fool's' church. The establishment and preaching of the patron saint should have already begun.

"I want to go and listen."

"Listen to how others talk about yourself? Won't this be too embarrassing?" Franca looked resistant.

She and Lu Mian hadn't proposed to Madam "Magician" which church they wanted to be assigned to, because they both wanted to be humble and felt that the other party wouldn't agree, so they simply let the "Fool" Church decide for itself.

"I don't care." Lu Mian smiled, "Besides, I have to walk around nearby to see if there's any way to collect anchors."

"Okay." Franca sighed, "If it were in the dream city, I would debut as a star! Those fans would be my anchors! But this also has problems. This kind of anchor has a shelf life and cannot be inherited. Moreover, the cognition brought by fans with different attitudes and different points of attention will be contradictory, which may affect my state."

"This is a way." Lu Mian looked at Jenna, "If you reach Sequence 3, you can consider becoming the most famous drama actor in the Northern and Southern Continents. Of course, the premise is to obtain Mr. 'Fool's' protection, or..."

Lu Mian didn't finish his sentence.

…………

Plaza District, Lavigny Wharf, inside the "Fool" church with large, bright windows.

Lu Mian, Franca, and Jenna, wearing hats with veils hanging down, came to the corner of the rows of seats.

At this time, the half-giant Bishop with golden hair, over two and a half meters tall, wearing a special windbreaker and a silk top hat, was preaching.

In front of a wall on the side that originally had nothing, painters were creating new murals with the help of scaffolding and various tools.

In this world where the Church has a high status, creating religious murals for the church is the highest recognition and reward for a painter.

Not long after Lu Mian and the others sat down, took off their hats, and lowered their heads, the half-giant Bishop said in a solemn and loud voice:

"Let us praise Mr. 'Fool'."

"Praise the Fool!" All believers, including the Bishop, stood up together and placed their hands on their chests.

The half-giant Bishop said again:

"Let us also praise the patron saint of this church, the Great Saint Franca.

"Our church is named after her!"

The toes inside Franca's boots began to curl tightly.

The half-giant Bishop continued:

"Saint Franca is Mr. 'Fool's' Holy Grail, carrying people's joy and pain, keeping disease and plague. She is the one who never ages, the Witch who spreads strife and disaster to enemies...

"She once walked in Mr. 'Fool's' dream, running for the return of the Lord. She broke the illusion and reality, letting the Lord's grace come to the earth..."

Damn, it sounds like I have so much presence... Franca was embarrassed but also a bit happy.

After finishing Saint Franca's deeds, the half-giant Bishop said:

"Let us praise Saint Franca!

"Praise the One Who Never Ages, the Keeper of Disease and Plague, the Witch Followed by Strife and Disaster, the Holy Grail that carries joy and pain, the Great Franca Roland!"

The believers followed the Bishop and began to pray.

Franca was suddenly stunned. She tilted her head slightly and said to Lu Mian and Jenna in a dazed manner:

"I heard some phantom voices and saw some light spots..."
