Chapter 1097: Convergence?

After confirming that the dark golden coin in her hand was indeed a Tudor gold coin with a denomination of "2," Franca once again slandered the "Blood Emperor's" persecution of obsessive-compulsive patients in her heart:

Just the denomination is different, how can the pattern be so different?

Clearly, they express almost the same symbolic meaning!

Nisea did not notice her superior's abnormality and continued to tell the origin of the two items:

"This brooch is an item of the Gustave family, made according to their family crest. It is one of the things Louis Gustave values most and is a symbol of his identity."

"Usually, he carries this brooch with him, but this time he left it in his original hideout."

"This ancient gold coin and the brooch were placed together, and they seem to be highly valued."

Under the pull of invisible spider silk, the brooch made of intertwined snakes also flew toward Franca.

Franca was no stranger to the Gustave family crest. She just glanced at it and confirmed its authenticity, then laughed secretly:

"DNA double helix structure, right?"

Obviously, the current crest of the Gustave family originated from the "masterpiece" of Emperor Roselle's later years, not from earlier ancestors.

Nisea looked up at her beautiful, atmospheric, and casual superior and begged:

"Lady, after you finish the 'Magic Mirror Divination,' can you return these two items to me?"

"These were stolen from Gruet. If I don't return them in time, I will definitely be suspected."

"No problem." Franca's mirror projection held the brooch and the gold coin and shrank back into the makeup mirror.

Nisea waited patiently in the current room.

"Louis Gustave's mysterious disappearance is related to the Tudor gold coin." After Franca took the Gustave family brooch and Tudor gold coin out of the mirror, she used the intention of "speaking out" to tell Lu Mi, who was suspected to be still sleeping, through the mental channel connecting all team members.

A few seconds later, Lu Mi opened the wooden door of his bedroom and walked into Franca's room.

Everyone living in this luxury villa was a demigod, and their spiritual intuition was not weak, so they all noticed the movement, put on coats, and came to Franca's place.

The only one who did not react was Ludwig, who was making his second midnight snack in the kitchen of the annex.

After Franca briefly talked about Nisea's feedback, she said with a quite solemn expression:

"I plan to pray to Mr. 'Fool' first, and then do 'Magic Mirror Divination' to see if I can determine Louis Gustave's current whereabouts using these two items as a medium."

"I'll do it." Lu Mi reached out and took the brooch and the coin. "I plan to first obtain Mr. 'Fool's' consent, and then use Him as the object to do 'Magic Mirror Divination.' This can eliminate most interference and danger."

"That's best." Jenna agreed with Lu Mi's choice.

Lu Mi pressed his hand to his chest, prayed on the spot, and informed Mr. "Fool" of his request.

After obtaining consent, he immediately took out a mirror and pressed the Gustave family brooch and the Tudor gold coin onto the glass mirror surface.

Immediately after, he gently stroked the mirror surface and chanted the incantation in Hermes:

"The Fool that doesn't belong to this era,

"The mysterious ruler above the gray mist,

"The King of Yellow and Black who holds good luck..."

Lu Mi chanted the entire incantation at a steady pace, raised the question of "Louis Gustave's current whereabouts," and waited patiently for Mr. "Fool" to give revelation.

In just a few seconds, the mirror surface rippled, reflecting a figure.

That figure was tall, imitating Emperor Roselle with chestnut long hair, two beautiful mustaches, lake-blue eyes, and thin lips. It was the leader of the Emperor Party, Louis Gustave.

This man, who was said to have the blood of the Gustave family, stood in a place that looked like an abandoned mine, walking toward an exit shrouded in darkness.

The picture blurred, and Louis Gustave was suddenly wrapped in darkness. There seemed to be figures hidden in the depths around him, casting their gaze.

Louis Gustave walked forward without looking sideways, not caring at all about the gazes cast from the darkness.

The more he walked, the deeper the darkness became.

Later, there seemed to be some light shining on the side, and the picture became abnormally blurred.

Louis Gustave did not approach the light and continued to walk straight.

After an unknown amount of time, a door outlined by pure light appeared in the distance. It looked very much like an oval mirror.

Louis Gustave came to the light door, reached out his right hand, and pressed it on it.

He passed through the light door and came to an area with thick fog, visibility of no more than ten meters, and collapsed buildings that were either asymmetrical or stained with blood.

This is... Fourth Epoch Trier! Lu Mi, Franca, Jenna, and Anthony had all been to Fourth Epoch Trier and were no strangers to similar scenes.

The only place they felt was different was that the fog was too thick and very oppressive.

"This is the depths of Fourth Epoch Trier? The divine corpse of the 'Blood Emperor' affects this place, bringing a large-scale 'Fog of War'?" Lu Mi quickly made a guess.

Franca recalled and said:

"But we could see the collapsed palace with the 'Blood Emperor's' divine corpse at that time, and the fog wasn't this thick..."

"Did Fourth Epoch Trier undergo some changes after the hostel incident? Or is it because Louis Gustave approached that it appeared in response?" Jenna proposed a possible explanation.

Just then, Louis Gustave in the mirror stopped.

Less than ten meters in front of him, a human shadow was reflected on the street stone slabs splashed with blood.

The black shadow was stretched very long by the light, and it seemed to be holding a baby in its arms.

Almost at the same time, the picture collapsed suddenly, and the water rippled. The revelation given by Mr. "Fool" ended here.

Lu Mi frowned and muttered to himself:

"Madame Pualis and the baby Omebella?

"Are they in Fourth Epoch Trier?

"Did Louis Gustave enter Fourth Epoch Trier to see them?

"Did Louis Gustave enter Fourth Epoch Trier through a special Mirror World? Were the ones watching him in the darkness before the 'Mirror People'? Did the place he didn't approach, where there was some light, hide the great terror of the special Mirror World?"

No one could answer Lu Mi's question.

After a few seconds, Jenna organized her language and said:

"This matter cannot be handled by us."

"Since it might involve Madame Pualis and the baby Omebella, we must strictly follow Mr. 'Fool's' revelation: Calamity needs to stay away from mothers."

"Hmm, I will report the conclusion to the 'Black Demoness' and let them investigate. No matter how much she urges me, I won't move, just say I don't have this ability!" Franca muttered, "Also, notify '007' as well. It's best to leave this kind of thing to official Beyonders. They hold many secrets of Fourth Epoch Trier and might be able to send strong people to enter without relying on the special Mirror World and clear out Louis Gustave, Madame Pualis, and the baby Omebella."

Lu Mi nodded:

"Good."

He then reminded Franca:

"The operation to clear the targets in Fourth Epoch Trier is best not led by Beyonders of the 'Eternal Blazing Sun' Church. Have you forgotten? The baby Omebella's occult father is the 'Eternal Blazing Sun'."

"How could I forget such a thing?" Franca signaled Lu Mi and the others to leave her bedroom first.

Then, she took out the mirror, "sent" the results of the "Magic Mirror Divination" and the brooch and coin to the mirror corresponding to the "Black Demoness," and exhorted the other party to remember to return the medium, otherwise Nisea would be in trouble.

Not long after, the "Black Demoness" responded to Franca:

"Inform me as soon as Louis Gustave returns."

Accompanying this answer was the brooch and coin that flew out of the mirror surface by themselves.

Didn't ask me to investigate deeply, just wait for Louis Gustave to return? Strange, this matter has nothing to do with the Demoness Sect, it's not their trap? Franca was puzzled and projected to the room where Nisea was through the Mirror World again.

She relayed the "Black Demoness's" words to Nisea and returned the Gustave family brooch and Tudor gold coin.

Nisea breathed a sigh of relief.

Only then did she have the mood to chat:

"Lady, I went to the Lavigny Wharf some time ago and found that the 'Fool' Church there has a patron saint named Franca Roland."

"She has the same name as you."

Nisea originally didn't think this had anything to do with her superior. In the whole of Trier, there were no less than a hundred women named Franca. But the patron saint's honorific had a sentence: "The Demoness who follows strife and disaster."

Franca was suddenly a little embarrassed. This was not the embarrassment of her honorific being known by her subordinate, but the embarrassment of being discovered "moonlighting" in other organizations.

She answered profoundly:

"In this world, everyone has multiple identities because of certain purposes."

In short, neither deny nor admit.

Nisea didn't dare to ask again and seriously considered whether she should openly believe in Mr. "Fool" to lean toward her superior.

As for in private, everyone is still the child of the Primordial.

After Franca's mirror projection disappeared, Nisea put away the makeup mirror, brooch, and coin, merged into the darkness, and returned to the master bedroom silently.

She didn't rush to lie back on the bed, but first put the brooch and coin into the secret compartment of the desk.

After doing this, she walked back to the bedside like a shadow in the night, lay down without making any sound, and pulled the quilt over herself.

Suddenly, a low voice sounded in her ear:

"Where did you just go?"

Nisea subconsciously turned her head and saw Gruet, who had been sleeping soundly before, had opened his eyes at some point, looking at herself with deep blue eyes.
