Chapter 496

The dark clouds over Trier had already dispersed, and the crimson moonlight sprinkled on every corner of the city, reflecting the accumulated water that reached the calves.

Lu Mi and Fu Lan Ka appeared at the edge of the rooftop of an unknown building, in front of them was the "Magician" floating in the void and a pile of items, and to the side were Yu Jianna and Anthony, who seemed to be surrounded by dark glass, their eyes not knowing where they were looking.

Without waiting for Lu Mi to ask, the "Magician" said with quite a bit of emotion:

"Medici has become the Angel of Kings again.

"The conspirator who could be called the strongest for a long time has returned."

"That 'Red Angel' who once followed the 'Ancient Sun God' and died at the hands of the 'Blood Emperor,' Medici?" Lu Mi was both surprised and not so surprised.

Involving the secrets of the Solon family and the Fourth Era Trier, how could that angel of the "Hunter" pathway not participate?

The existence of Albus Medici was proof!

Lu Mi had previously thought that the hidden nature of the "Hostel Ritual" and the forced advancement meant "Red Angel" didn't have time to exert influence. Now it seemed he was the biggest winner.

The "Magician" lady's state was still quite relaxed, laughing and saying:

"You don't need to add the second half of that sentence; it makes you look like you're provoking Him, especially since you still have the 'Blood Emperor's' aura mark on your right hand."

Fu Lan Ka had heard Lu Mi mention the situation of the Medici family and asked curiously:

"What did that 'Red Angel' do?"

While speaking, she glanced at Yu Jianna and Anthony, discovering that they were neither listening to the conversation between the two of them and the "Magician" lady nor looking this way, seemingly in another world.

Behind her, the accumulated water on the rooftop was slowly decreasing, and the sound of splashing echoed continuously from the drain.

The "Magician" sighed:

"When the angel of the Einhorn family and the powerhouses of the 'Iron and Blood Cross Order' were about to kill the out-of-control Vonda Solon with the help of sealed artifacts and the special power within the Fourth Era Trier, He accurately grasped the timing, ended the entire battle, and obtained that Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristic.

"The blood-colored sky and scorching white fire rain you saw were the changes brought about by Him becoming the Angel of Kings again in the Fourth Era Trier."

So that was it... Lu Mi recalled the situation just now, having an intuitive understanding of the terror and power of the Angel of Kings.

At this time, his feet had no shoes or socks because he had been transferred to the world in the painting while sleeping, and what he wore afterward were all drawn, which obviously couldn't be maintained for too long.

He asked thoughtfully:

"Was that screaming giant the out-of-control Vonda Solon?"

No wonder just the roar almost made them lose consciousness. Fortunately, Mr. "Fool's" gray fog provided protection.

"Yes, Vonda Solon losing control and entering the sealed underground was the beginning of the Solon family's decline. Although there are still many details in question about this matter, the general situation can be considered clarified."

The angel of the Einhorn family... Was one of the main goals of Eloise Einhorn and the "Iron and Blood Cross Order" to open the seal, hunt the out-of-control Vonda Solon, and obtain that Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristic? Lu Mi nodded gently and asked uncertainly:

"Did these powerhouses enter the Fourth Era Trier through the 'Hostel Ritual'?"

"Most of them entered through the leakage point in the underground of the Breeze Dance Hall opened by the 'Hostel Ritual.' The one from the Einhorn family entered from the leakage point deep in the underground palace of the Red Swan Castle, but it also counted as using the chain reaction produced by the 'Hostel Ritual.' As for how the 'Red Angel' entered, I don't know yet." The "Magician's" expression became serious. "But there is reason to believe that the 'Hostel Ritual' was planned by the 'Red Angel' himself. He used the 'Iron and Blood Cross Order' and used Gardner Ma Ding. He is worthy of being the existence who once taught and looked after Amon."

Lu Mi listened and suddenly realized, feeling that many details had more reasonable explanations.

Fu Lan Ka's emotions became very complicated.

The "Magician" lady glanced at the two of them and said comfortingly:

"But no matter what, our actions caused the 'Hostel Ritual' to be rushed and advanced, reducing the damage this plan caused to Trier. In the entire Market District, the only ones who suffered disaster were a few night watchmen in places like the Honest Man Market and Lister Wharf. The rest of the areas had some soldiers die, and the overall situation was mainly economic loss. This shows that our efforts were still valuable."

Speaking of this, she laughed self-deprecatingly and looked up at the sky:

"The only thing we didn't anticipate was that they actually cooperated."

They... Lu Mi and Fu Lan Ka muttered in their hearts.

They really wanted to know who cooperated with the "Red Angel," but the "Magician" lady clearly didn't intend to say.

This lady cast her gaze toward the silver-white full-body armor floating beside her, Gardner Ma Ding's remains, and those items that Yu Jianna had dropped again in the battle just now, smiling and saying:

"I will help you deal with the corresponding pollution and give you specific usage information, which counts as a reward attached to this mission.

"Hmm, I suggest leaving the pollution on that bone flute alone for now. This can bring it very strange effects. Anyway, with Gardner Ma Ding's Beyonder characteristic, you won't need Philip's anymore, and your own specialty can effectively reduce the negative effects of the bone flute."

The latter sentence was said while looking at Lu Mi.

After seeing Lu Mi nod, the "Magician" continued:

"This wooden box is a type of 'Black Box.' It cannot be applied in battle, but in special scenes, it can solve many problems that violence cannot solve. I will write the detailed situation into data and have the messenger send it over.

"That mirror fragment left by the Gardner in the mirror has a close relationship with the special mirror world in the Fourth Era Trier. My intuition tells me it might involve the current state of the 'Primordial Witch.'

"This armor can also be considered a bit special. Carrying it will bring some encounters. Hehe, have you ever thought about becoming a four-or-five-meter-tall beautiful woman or a handsome young man?"

After roughly introducing the basic information of different items in a teasing way, the "Magician" nodded gently:

"After I deal with it, I will send them back along with the data, and attach a formal reward.

"'Seven of Wands,' you have to leave Trier for a while. The mission of the 'Iron and Blood Cross Order' can be considered to have come to an end. The only thing you need to do is tell that gentleman a word. I believe he can understand and will accept it."

Lu Mi thought about how Trier's two consecutive disasters were related to him, said "Hmm," and said:

"That's what I think too. I plan to track the remaining members of the 'April Fool's Day'."

The "Magician" then looked toward Fu Lan Ka:

"What you do afterward depends on what reaction the Witch Sect has. Remember to report to your Major Arcana card when the time comes."

After Fu Lan Ka responded, she glanced at the direction of Anthony and Yu Jianna:

"After the aftermath passes, ask them if they want to draw a Minor Arcana card and become members of the Tarot Club. If they don't want to, don't force it. I will have them keep the secret."

"Become a Minor Arcana card under you?" Fu Lan Ka asked quite happily.

The "Magician" smiled:

"Not necessarily, it depends on the arrangement of fate."

She then said to Lu Mi:

"You don't need to rush to leave. You can hide and wait for a few days. Now, go back to the Golden Rooster Hotel first. I see the encounter of fate waiting for you there."

The encounter of fate? Lu Mi was very puzzled, but he could see that the "Magician" lady didn't want to explain what it was specifically, or she just saw that such a thing existed and didn't see the detailed situation.

The next second, the "Magician" lady and the things around her were surrounded by starlight and disappeared into the mid-air.

"It's truly dreamy..." Fu Lan Ka praised sincerely.

She then turned her head and said thoughtfully to Lu Mi:

"Do you think the 'Magician' lady could be the 'Star Angel' in the church's scriptures?"

"No way..." Lu Mi subconsciously retorted, then fell into deep thought.

…………

Chaos Street, Golden Rooster Hotel.

Lu Mi had just walked to the second floor when he saw a figure squatting at his door.

It was a seven-or-eight-year-old boy with baby fat, an honest temperament, and a dark red schoolbag on his back.

Ludwig? Baron Brignais's monster foster son? Lu Mi frowned slightly and walked over:

"Do you have something to do?"

The yellow-haired, brown-eyed Ludwig stood up with a brush and said full of craving:

"Can you help me leave Trier? I don't want to stay in the Knowledge Church anymore, don't want to be managed by Brignais anymore, don't want to write homework and test papers anymore. I can give you a reward!"

"Reward?" Lu Mi raised an eyebrow.

Was this the encounter of fate the "Magician" lady spoke of?

Ludwig nodded heavily:

"Yes."

He quickly took off the dark red hard schoolbag he had been carrying, opened it, and pulled out a stack of papers:

"This is what I stole—no, took—from the Knowledge Church."

Lu Mi reached out to take it, his gaze sweeping over the first page:

"Number: 01."

"Name: Flag of God's Fall, Salinger's Blood Flag."

"Danger Level: '0', very dangerous, highest priority, highest confidentiality level, cannot be inquired about, cannot be spread, cannot be described, cannot be peeped at."

Data on a Grade 0 sealed artifact? And it was "0-01"! Lu Mi's temples and eyelids jumped at the same time.

He knew that the church had sealed many magical items with greater harm and serious negative effects, divided into four levels, among which "3" was the lowest and "0" was the highest. And "1" often meant it could threaten saints and would bring very great disasters. "0" could be imagined.

Lu Mi suddenly raised his head and looked at Ludwig, discovering that this little boy had a pleading expression and no other abnormalities.

He lowered his head again and quickly read the content behind:

"Confidentiality level: Only God's messengers can understand."

"Sealing method: Place in an underground mausoleum, place a large number of soldier puppets, build a cemetery with more than a million corpses above, and supplement it with a real city with a population of more than 100,000. The specific implementation method and ritual arrangement are..."

"Description: This is a scorched flag. The flagpole is iron-black metal, and the flag surface has a large number of dangerous blood spots.

"... Beyonders above Sequence 5 cannot approach. Warning, Beyonders above Sequence 5 cannot approach!

"... The experimental personnel responsible for changing the soldier puppets must be blindfolded and carry a lantern... If the lantern goes out, the experimental personnel will disappear directly, and everyone who knows him will simultaneously believe he died long ago... If not blindfolded, what leaves the mausoleum will be a monster just like him...

"... The city of exile on the ground, Morora, often encounters extreme weather, including but not limited to hurricanes, heavy rain, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions...

"... There were originally no volcanoes in the area around Morora...

"... The residents of Morora are abnormally combative, with multiple duels involving death and injury occurring every day, and protests and riots occurring more than six times a year...

"... The residents of Morora have no thought of leaving this city, at any time..."

"... According to some ancient classics, it has witnessed the fall of at least two True Gods..."

Damn, is this something I can look at? The more Lu Mi read, the more frightened he became.

He looked at Ludwig in shock and doubt, asking again:

"Did you really steal this?"

Was this data that could be stolen casually?

The child-like Ludwig wanted to refute that it wasn't stealing but taking, but finally nodded honestly:

"Yes."

Lu Mi looked at this little boy with a frown, falling into deep silence.
