Chapter 338: The Origin of the

Lu Mi withdrew his thoughts from Roche Louise Sanson, the "Soul Calling Technique," "April Fool's," and other matters, and began from the beginning according to Forsyth's request:

"In that disaster in Cordu Village, I was also contaminated by the evil god of fate. Fortunately, with Mr. 'Fool's' protection, I was able to maintain my sanity and didn't become a monster.

"That contamination is both a curse and a gift. I am currently following the guidance of Lady 'Magician,' extracting them bit by bit in stages and turning them into my own power, achieving balance through the Beyonder characteristics of the corresponding sequence."

Forsyth suddenly realized:

"The special contract you mentioned is the power of the 'Contractee'? No wonder you said I couldn't learn it no matter what."

From the fact that Lu Mi didn't know what power the Sequence 6 of the "Fate" pathway had, she speculated that the other party was currently a dual Sequence 7 of "Pyromaniac" and "Contractee."

Lu Mi nodded:

"So Guillaume Bénet didn't dare to replace and change my fate at will; the status of the contamination in my body is quite high."

"Being able to have Mr. 'Fool' provide protection, that must have divinity." Forsyth had a sudden thought. "Do you think it's possible for me to also get some gifts?"

Do you want to try everything? Lu Mi "tsked" and said:

"Are you planning to find the 'Great Mother,' repeating the process of pregnancy, giving birth, and breastfeeding every day, or believe in the 'Tree of Desire' and drag every wild dog on the side of the road to bed?"

"Hiss..." Forsyth gasped. "I was just saying it casually. I definitely wouldn't do something as dangerous as believing in an evil god. To be like you, obtaining Mr. 'Fool's' protection immediately while coming into contact with the power of an evil god, is something that can be met but not sought."

"This isn't just a simple contact." In order to dispel Forsyth's unrealistic ideas, Lu Mi revealed a bit more. "The power of fate is sealed in my body, which means I am praying for gifts from Mr. 'Fool' and the contamination within my own body, not from that existence named Fate. Only in this way can the most basic safety be guaranteed. Otherwise, I don't know when I would become another person or suddenly die."

Forsyth instinctively let out a breath:

"You'd better talk about the 'Hum-Ha Technique'."

Lu Mi reorganized his language and said:

"In order not to be indirectly influenced by that existence named Fate, I gave up the strange creatures that came with the gift's knowledge and asked Lady 'Magician' for a batch of Spirit Realm creature data. You know what happened after that.

"'Hum-Ha Technique' comes from a Spirit Realm creature I summoned. I originally wanted to summon a 'Screaming Shadow,' but I don't know if it was because I prayed to Mr. 'Fool' and asked Him to witness it, or if the summoning incantation I designed wasn't precise enough, but a ghost completely different from the description of the 'Screaming Shadow' came..."

Lu Mi detailed the corresponding summoning incantation, design ideas, the specific appearance of that armor shadow, and other abilities, even making a schematic diagram with his drawing ability, which was barely passing.

Fish scale armor... "Hum-Ha Technique"... "Ten Thousand Ghosts Night Walk"... "Soul-Devouring Screech"... Forsyth looked at the drawing on the coffee table, muttering to herself, her eyes losing focus.

Lu Mi asked tentatively:

"Is there a problem with this?"

If it were Aurora, would she have a similar reaction?

Forsyth suddenly came back to her senses, her expression both solemn and excited:

"That 'Armor Shadow' is very likely from our world!"

"Your world?" Lu Mi didn't expect such an answer.

However, this seemed quite reasonable; the armor style and ability names of that shadow were very unique and different from the current world.

Forsyth said "Hmm":

"Our world also has many countries, and each country's culture and language are different, and the 'Armor Shadow' is very similar to some images in the myths and legends of the country where I and your sister are from."

"Are you and Aurora from the same country?" Lu Mi was most concerned about this point.

He paused and said:

"Was it Mr. 'Fool's' power plus my imprecise incantation that summoned the 'Armor Shadow' from your world, or did he, like you, travel through time long ago and become a ghost of the Spirit Realm after death?"

Forsyth said with excitement and anticipation:

"If it's the former, it means a connection can be established between the two worlds, and in that case, we really might be able to go home! If it's the latter, why can he use the abilities of his original world? Is it innate, or did he learn it later?"

Unraveling these mysteries would bring her closer to the truth of time travel and find the way home!

Speaking of this, Forsyth stood up with a "swish," her eyes shining as she looked at Lu Mi:

"Can you summon the 'Armor Shadow' and let me see it?"

"I have a contract with him, so I really don't need to pray to Mr. 'Fool' to summon him precisely." Seeing Forsyth's excitement, as if she wanted to help set up the altar directly, Lu Mi changed the subject. "But I think he is very dangerous. It's fine with Mr. 'Fool's' protection, but once it's gone, we might be killed by him directly. And if we are under Mr. 'Fool's' protection, we can't communicate with him, let alone communicate with spirits; we can only complete the summoning ritual."

Forsyth frowned in disappointment:

"Then what should we do?"

Lu Mi pondered and said:

"Wait until I collect 100,000 Felkin of gold and fulfill the contract.

"In that case, the power of the contract will provide protection, and we can also see what the 'Armor Shadow' wants so much gold for."

Forsyth pondered for dozens of seconds and let out a breath:

"This is the only way for now."

She had originally thought of quickly confirming the problem of the "Armor Shadow," getting useful information from him, and then going to the "Curly-Haired Baboons Research Society" to report the situation so that everyone could think of ways and contribute together. Now, it could only be delayed for a period of time.

After the two exchanged ideas about the summoning incantation for a while, they confirmed that the success rate of Forsyth summoning it herself was very low because it wasn't precise enough, and what might come was a "Screaming Shadow." Lu Mi, on the other hand, could remove one of the descriptions and replace it with "Lu Mi Li's contract creature" to point precisely to the target.

After a while, Jianna returned with coffee, snacks, and meat pies, allowing Lu Mi and Forsyth, who were quite hungry after a battle, to enter the afternoon tea state.

Near evening, Anthony Reid, dressed as a small clerk, returned to No. 601, No. 3 White Coat Street.

"How was it?" Lu Mi didn't hide his concern at all.

Anthony took off his old hat and nodded gently:

"I tracked that lady and her butler, manservant, maid, and coachman all the way to No. 20 Terrace Street in the Library District.

"That seems to be another residence of theirs, something like a safe house."

"Should we keep an eye on it?" Forsyth looked at Lu Mi.

Lu Mi deliberated for a few seconds and said with a smile:

"No need. Just go check if they have moved away after a while."

"Why?" Jianna had thought Xia Er would be impatient to deal with those people and obtain more information.

Lu Mi smiled very brightly:

"Behind them is an organization called 'Sinner.' The contact person should have already discovered Guillaume Bénet's death, actively cut off the connection, and eliminated the clues, making it difficult to track further.

"But if the 'Sinner' organization discovers that those people have indeed escaped tracking and are not being monitored, what kind of development will occur?

"Perhaps they will re-establish contact!

"Only true lack of monitoring can make that lady make the 'Sinner' organization believe that the matter has passed, become active again, and crawl out of their mouse hole!"

"Damn..." Jianna cursed almost silently.

Xia Er is so insidious!

Because Anthony brought substantial gains, he got two-thirds of the final 15,000 Felkin, and Jianna only got 5,000.

After rolling up the banknotes and putting them into different pockets, Anthony Reid looked at Lu Mi and said:

"I hope to start investigating the secrets behind Hugues Artois and the truth of that betrayal as soon as possible."

This was the main reason he agreed to participate in this operation.

"Okay." Lu Mi had already communicated this matter with Jianna and Forsyth.

Jianna would be responsible for finding the "Purifiers" to inquire about the corresponding information.

Because of the "Armor Shadow" matter, Forsyth was in a state of high excitement and took the initiative to make a suggestion:

"I know some Loen friends. Let's see if we can get the records of that battle from the Loen military and see what they say."

"This is a very good idea." Anthony Reid's eyes lit up when he heard this.

He had never thought about obtaining the truth from the attackers before.

…………

In the night of the chaotic street that could never be quiet, Lu Mi, who had left the ritual furs to Forsyth for divination of the incantation, walked toward the "Golden Rooster Hotel," intending to summon Lady "Magician's" messenger to mention the matters of Guillaume Bénet, the "Sinner" organization, and the "Armor Shadow," and ask the other party to tell Lady "Justice" and Lady "Susie" that the final psychological treatment could be carried out.

Under the cool night breeze, Lu Mi's thoughts slowly drifted.

After learning the common points of the members of the "Curly-Haired Baboons Research Society" from Forsyth, the impression of his sister Aurora in his heart became clearer.

Of course, those blurred parts were things he hadn't understood originally but felt didn't matter and didn't need to explore the reasons for.

"No wonder Aurora wanted to leave her original family and live in Cordu Village on the border, no wonder she resisted going to Trier, no wonder she always said some strange words and liked to explain to me what they meant, no wonder her novels were different from the originally popular ones, no wonder she loved to put 'a philosopher from my hometown once said' on her lips, and often changed it to 'Emperor Roselle once said'..." In Lu Mi's silent sigh, his mood inexplicably became calm, as if the place he was walking wasn't the chaotic street, but Cordu Village.

That place he could never return to.

At the same time, Lu Mi had his own understanding of some symbolic elements in the dream:

"The land Aurora bought once lived a dead witch, symbolizing that she occupied Roche Louise Sanson's body?

"Then does Roche Louise Sanson, the dead witch in the legend, represent the initial follower of fate?"

Because of the lack of key information before, Mr. "Poet" didn't interpret these two symbolic meanings, only telling Lu Mi that they should also have their own meanings.

While his thoughts were wandering, Lu Mi returned to Room 207 and saw a simply folded letter on the table.

A letter? This doesn't look like Lady "Magician's"... Lu Mi walked over in surprise and suspicion, picked up the letter paper, and unfolded it.

On it were written two lines of beautiful Intis script:

"I have arrived in Trier.

"Hela."
