Chapter 1074: Distribution

In the indescribable chewing sound, "The Fool" raised his head and cast his gaze toward the high place, toward the blood-colored moon that illuminated every place red.

The giant full moon gradually returned to normal, and the light faded bit by bit, eventually leaving only crimson.

At this time, the originally dark mobile phone screen lit up again, and many illusory and complex information emerged, intertwined into special symbols with strange structures.

This symbol was projected out, wrapped in the power that the "God of Steam and Machinery" hid in the mobile phone in the form of an "Information Shredder," and fell toward the real world, scanning every continent, every island, and every ocean quickly.

The backup information hidden by the "Hidden Sage" was found one by one, the overall structure was destroyed, and it quickly vanished into thin air.

By the time the special symbol fell back to the mobile phone screen, the "Hidden Sage" transmitted his last piece of information.

That was a scream.

…………

On the *Cherished Revenge* sailing back in the gray-white fog.

"Professor," "Periodic Table," and "Prototype" were stunned at the same time.

They looked at each other, and finally "Professor" asked "Sleeve Sword" Franca and the Captain:

"Did you hear a wail, or a scream?"

"No." Franca shook her head.

"The Hanged Man" followed up:

"I didn't hear it either."

"We all heard it." "Professor" frowned under the butterfly mask, "But it was very blurry, as if it was very far away."

"Yes." "Periodic Table" and "Prototype" indicated that they had also heard a similar sound.

Franca thought for a while and said:

"Don't worry about it. It's normal to hear strange sounds in this sea area. Just ignore it and don't take it seriously."

Speaking of this, Franca laughed:

"Think on the bright side, maybe it was the scream of the 'Hidden Sage' before death?"

Uh... "Professor" and the others looked at each other.

"The Hanged Man" showed a thoughtful expression, and after a few seconds, said:

"Maybe it really is."

This... Franca was also stunned.

So fast?

…………

The wail of the "Hidden Sage" entered the ears of every wizard, making the several "Ten Pillars" of the "Rose Redemption Order" who were not in "Utopia" feel shocked.

They either made prophecies through this or discovered that the situation was wrong through spiritual intuition, and then quickly moved their positions and hid themselves.

Letitia, the "Dragon Scholar" in "Utopia," and Sidis and Ohaiz, who held Grade "0" Sealed Artifacts, were also affected, quickly falling into a disadvantage and dying one after another.

The unknown place that had been completely destroyed turned into a dark vortex that shrank rapidly. "The Fool," holding Lu Mian's "Traveler's Bag," watched the mobile phone suspended in the air constantly spraying various light fragments outward.

As it sprayed, the mobile phone expanded, as if it was about to be burst by something.

*Bang! *

It really exploded, and an illusory eye without eyelashes, indifferent and ruthless, was thrown out and fell into "The Fool's" palm.

The mobile phone parts flying to different positions were stained with faint crimson, wriggling to give birth to new parts.

They were blocked by the suddenly darkened void, shrinking inward, and soon concentrated in the illusory sphere, perishing together with the sphere.

"The Fool," along with the Beyonder characteristics that had been sprayed out before, disappeared.

…………

Lu Mian seemed to have slept a long, dreamless sleep, and his whole person became peaceful and quiet in the darkness.

I don't know how long it took, but he finally opened his eyes and found himself lying in a void and dark area behind a mirror.

He stood up, walked out of the glass mirror, and his eyes reflected the ancient and dilapidated palace used during the gathering of the "Curly-Haired Baboons Research Society."

Behind him was the huge stone chair, on which was placed the "Sleeping" mirror he had made for himself. The surface of the mirror had dark red patterns, as if engraved with fresh blood.

This was a preparation made in advance. He, with the help of Lady "Hela," put the "Sleeping" mirror into the Night Country to cut off the pollution that might be suffered.

As for why he didn't choose above the gray fog, and didn't put the "Sleeping" mirror next to Mr. "Fool's" divine throne, it was because what was cut off would not only be pollution, but also Lu Mian's own resurrection.

Unless it was Mr. "Fool" himself or he responded in time above the gray fog, Lu Mian's Beyonder characteristics could not be transferred next to his divine throne, and the consciousness and spirit in the "Sleeping" mirror could not be restored.

Moreover, this kind of resurrection needed to "pass through" that gray-white fog, which would likely suffer other pollution, because Mr. "Fool" was only initially awakened, not fully awakened.

Lu Mian recalled what happened before and confirmed that the "Hidden Sage" had "voluntarily" entered the effective range of the "Information Shredder."

He picked up the mirror on the giant stone chair and brought it to his face.

The head-sized mirror reflected a beautiful face with light blue and clear eyes.

Lu Mian said to the mirror:

"'Hidden Sage' is dead.

"All wizards don't have to worry about being forcibly indoctrinated with knowledge by him anymore."

The bright and peerless face in the mirror curled its corners, revealing a smile that was both relieved and bright.

After a few seconds, Lu Mian, as usual, left the ancient and dilapidated palace by chanting the corresponding "incantation" and returned to the luxury villa.

Jenna, who was responsible for the cleanup, also just got home and released Ludwig, who was hidden behind one of her mirrors.

—This was to prevent Jenna from having bad luck and running directly into a saint of the "Rose Redemption Order" holding a Grade "0" Sealed Artifact.

Ludwig licked his lips, a little unhappy.

So much good food, and he didn't get to eat any of it!

"Are you okay?" Franca, who had already returned, asked her two companions with concern.

Lu Mian laughed:

"Whether I'm okay is not important. What's important is that the 'Hidden Sage' must be okay."

Jenna took the opportunity to say:

"Lady 'Magician' said that the spoils of war will be distributed uniformly by Mr. 'Fool'."

She then asked with some unease:

"But Lady 'Magician' didn't take away these things on me."

This was her harvest from cleaning up the fallen wizards.

"I will help you ask Mr. 'Fool'." Lu Mian turned to ask, "Have the wizards in 'Utopia' all been cleared?"

Jenna shook her head:

"I have cleared those who have already fallen and become evil. For those who are still in the forbidden language period and don't know about the dark side of 'Utopia,' I handed them over to Lady 'Hermit,' saying that she wanted to select a batch to send to the Fool Church to accept reform, and the rest would stay on the ship, and she would be responsible for transformation."

"Were any secrets discovered on the dark side of 'Utopia'?" Lu Mian, who was in a good mood, asked curiously.

"I don't know." Jenna shook her head, and at the same time, Lu Mian was suddenly stunned.

Then, he said to Franca and Jenna:

"Mr. 'Fool' is calling for a temporary gathering."

…………

Above the gray fog, in the majestic palace.

Several figures appeared on both sides of the ancient bronze long table, with a slight sense of blurriness.

These were the Great Arcana cards that participated in the operation to hunt down the "Hidden Sage."

"Good afternoon, Mr. 'Fool'~" Lady "Justice" was the first to stand up and salute.

It seemed that because the "Hidden Sage" was dead and many wizards were saved, her tone was a bit light and lively.

After all the Great Arcana cards had saluted and sat down again, Mr. "Fool," who was at the very top, tapped his fingers lightly on the edge of the bronze long table:

"'Dragon Scholar' Letitia was killed, but she didn't die completely. One of the spells she created with 'Mystical Reproduction' is related to resurrection and hiding.

"However, this is not important. Our main goals have all been achieved."

Hearing Mr. "Fool" announce the result, Lu Mian truly put his heart back in its place.

The "Hidden Sage" was really dead, dead beyond dead!

At this moment, he was in such a good mood that he wanted to find Franca or Jenna to dance a dance.

"The Fool" looked at each participant and said in a low, slow voice:

"The uniqueness of the 'Hidden Sage' belongs to the 'God of Steam and Machinery.' That 'Knowledge Emperor' Beyonder characteristic, which ranges from Sequence 9 to Sequence 1, is given to Bernadette. This also includes the help she provided in the dream. The Church of the Night wants the Grade '0' Sealed Artifact 'Destined Madness' and the Beyonder characteristic of Sidis, who was polluted by this sealed artifact.

"Besides these, they also took several Grade '1' Sealed Artifacts respectively, and the rest are ours."

After listening to Mr. "Fool's" account, Lu Mian, the "Chariot" who had fought with the Grade "0" Sealed Artifact "Destined Madness," suddenly felt a move in his heart and asked:

"Why did the Church of the Night choose 'Destined Madness'?"

"It hides a secret that needs to be excavated." Mr. "Fool" answered Lu Mian's question in a gentle voice.

He continued:

"Our harvest mainly includes the 'Sage' Beyonder characteristic from Toriopo, the two Grade '0' Sealed Artifacts 'Suoluomen's Mask' and 'Post-Apocalyptic Book,' and nine Grade '1' Sealed Artifacts, including two related to 'Prophet Master,' three related to 'Mystic,' one related to 'Manipulator,' one related to 'Coffin Carrier,' one related to 'Alchemist,' and one related to 'Mystery Scholar,' as well as several mid-to-low sequence Beyonder characteristics and Grade '2' and '3' Sealed Artifacts."

Mr. "Fool" cast his gaze toward "Hermit" Cattleya:

"This is a continuation of your mission and the result of your previous efforts. You choose first."

"Hermit" Cattleya was not modest:

"Mr. 'Fool,' I want that 'Sage' Beyonder characteristic."

"The Fool" looked at Lu Mian again:

"Your role is very important. You are the key to making the 'Hidden Sage' completely fall. You choose second."

Lu Mian had already thought of the answer:

"Mr. 'Fool,' I want the potion formula for 'Weather Warlock'."

For him, it didn't matter if there were spoils of war or not.

"This is a bonus." Mr. "Fool" said in a peaceful tone, "You can pick another Grade '0' Sealed Artifact."

Uh... Since the god said so, Lu Mian didn't be polite anymore, thought for a while and said:

"I choose 'Post-Apocalyptic Book'."

He thought that according to Lady "Hermit's" statement beforehand, "Suoluomen's Mask" must correspond to the angel-level Beyonder characteristic of the "Black Emperor" pathway, and the "Black Emperor" pathway and the "Judgment" pathway were adjacent and could be jumped to. Lady "Judgment" was a good friend of Lady "Magician."

"'Post-Apocalyptic Book' is related to the 'Fate' pathway." Mr. "Fool" said simply, and turned to Lady "Magician," "'Suoluomen's Mask' belongs to you."

Lady "Magician" was stunned for a moment:

"What about you?"

You were the main force, and yet there was no angel-level Beyonder characteristic, and you didn't keep the Grade "0" Sealed Artifact?

"The Fool," shrouded in gray fog, leaned back against the back of the chair, his voice inexplicably adding a bit of joy and emotion to his usual gentleness:

"I don't need it.

"The death of the 'Hidden Sage' is the harvest I want most."
