Chapter 545

~10 min read 1,900 words

"007", wearing a lion mask, blocked Franca and said through gritted teeth:

"'Sleeve Sword', thank you for the information you provided. I might be sent abroad now."

"Ah?" Franca expressed that she didn't quite understand.

Sent abroad where? If you are sent abroad, who should I report to in Trier?

"007" looked at "Muggle", who was standing quietly beside him, took a breath, and said:

"I might go to Feynapot as an assistant to see if I can recover that sealed item.

"After all, it is a sealed item lost by Intis. It's not very good for it to fall into the hands of the Kingdom of Feynapot."

"Will the Feynapot people allow you to go to their country to enforce the law? Isn't cross-border cooperation very troublesome?" Franca roughly understood what "007" was complaining about.

"007" thought for a moment and said:

"The process is still going on, but the Feynapot people are not too opposed this time. They seem to want to eliminate the hidden dangers brought by that sealed item as soon as possible, and they have a lot to guard against themselves, so they can't spare a large number of people to surround and intercept it, so they just borrow our strength."

The "Earth Mother" Church and the Kingdom of Feynapot need to guard against many aspects, and their manpower is a bit tight? Is this the problem of a single-church country? The accumulation is not as much as the two major churches and three major churches combined? That's not right either. The Kingdom of Feynapot also has a royal family, and the church's Beyonders are not only able to walk the path where the gods are... Lumian heard some abnormal points from "007's" words.

This made him feel that the internal hidden dangers of the Kingdom of Feynapot would not be less than those of countries with many gods and many churches.

"Is that so..." Franca suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "I have a way to keep you from being sent abroad!"

"What way?" "007" asked not quite believingly.

Franca smiled and said:

"If you have an important task in Trier that is being executed, you shouldn't be sent abroad."

"Important task..." "007" repeated in a low voice, suddenly having a bad premonition.

Franca took the opportunity to say:

"We found another 'Mirror World fragment' in an ancient tomb on the fourth floor of the catacombs.

"Now, there are clues and directions to track down the 'Mirror Person' in Trier. You just need to report it up and indicate that you are investigating, and you shouldn't be sent abroad to Feynapot."

"007" stared at Franca, who was wearing an assassin suit, for a few seconds, raised his hand to rub his forehead, and said heavily:

"Thank you, 'Sleeve Sword'!"

Franca pretended not to hear the hidden meaning in "007's" words and said to herself:

"That tomb is near the 'Crazy Mushroom Cave', the tomb door is wide open, there are no obvious features. Please find the information when the catacombs were built, see which tomb it was included in, and which ancient family it belongs to, so that we can figure out why the special 'Mirror Person' wanted to go in and died there."

"007" took a breath and exhaled slowly:

"You are really suitable to be my boss."

Just know how to arrange tasks!

Franca gave a dry laugh and changed the subject:

"Do you know what the situation is with the 'Crazy Mushroom Cave'? Such a dead, dark, and strictly sealed place can actually grow mushrooms, and so many of them."

"And that should be the only place in the fourth floor of the catacombs that grows mushrooms."

"007" nodded gently:

"I do know a little about this. I was also very curious about that mushroom cave at the time and checked some information, finding that it was originally very normal. It was a natural cave formed between ancient tomb groups. When the catacombs were built and some ancient corpses were moved in, after a few weeks, it was full of mushrooms, sealing the entrance and exit."

The change in supernatural power brought by the formal formation of the seal and the problem of some ancient corpses combined to have such a crazy mushroom cave? Lumian analyzed the cause thoughtfully.

Seeing that "Muggle" had only been listening quietly and hadn't interrupted, "007" nodded politely and turned to walk toward the "Sanctuary" group.

Franca couldn't help but chuckle twice:

"He is really polite to you. If he knew that most of his trouble and fatigue were brought by you, the expression would definitely be very interesting."

Lumian smiled:

"But the 'Mirror Person' matter has nothing to do with me."

While speaking, the two walked toward the corner where the "Academy" group was located.

During this process, Lumian suddenly said to Franca:

"You say, among all the members of the research society, especially those settled in Trier, could anyone have already been replaced by a 'Mirror Person'?"

"Impossible... don't scare me!" Franca was shocked.

Lumian controlled the urge to curl his lips, not to destroy his sister's beautiful image:

"What's impossible? Any citizen of Trier has the possibility of being replaced by a 'Mirror Person', whether you are a member of a secret organization or not.

"And, most of these people in the research society are Beyonders, and many have a strong spirit of exploration. The probability of encountering accidents and supernatural events is higher than that of ordinary people."

Franca nodded solemnly, feeling that the risk in this regard could indeed not be ruled out.

"You are a member of the Review Committee. You should communicate with Ms. Madame Hela and the others about the corresponding situation and make some observations in the dark." Lumian reminded.

It is currently unclear whether the "Mirror Person" of the transmigrators has his memories before transmigration. If so, they can easily bypass the contract drafted by the Review Committee, and they will not be detected when getting along with other members of the research society. As long as they don't plot against others, they will almost never be exposed.

"Okay." Franca responded solemnly.

At this time, in the corner where the "Academy" group was located, many members familiar to Lumian had gathered, including the "Professor" and "Associate Professor" couple, "Principal", "Periodic Table", "Bear", "Griffin", "Isotope", etc.

Several of them had disguises different from before, but Lumian had long been used to it. These were people who didn't want to attend the "Masquerade" with repeated appearances. Anyway, the general image, language, and the label on the chest could help others accurately locate their identity.

After greeting them one by one, Lumian and Franca each occupied a position.

After a few minutes, Franca raised her hand:

"Is anyone selling items related to knowing all languages? I have a friend who is going abroad and wants to prepare some."

After listening to her needs, some people laughed, and some pursed their lips. The former wanted to ask "Is your friend yourself?", and the latter remembered the core member of "April Fool's Day" who brought many disasters to the research society.

"Bear", who put himself in a brown bear skin cover, said in ancient Feynapot in a muffled voice:

"I have a charm for knowing all languages, which can achieve a similar effect."

"Charm for knowing all languages?" Franca asked back with great interest.

After years of proficiency in ancient Feynapot, she had relatively easily mastered the languages of other countries in the Northern Continent such as Loen and Highland, but she couldn't understand those in the Southern Continent.

The "Academy" group member whose code name was "Bear" scanned "Sleeve Sword" with brown eyes:

"Yes, the essence is to temporarily enhance and change the 'mind body', improve the ability of understanding, reasoning, and communication, and carry a part of the knowledge of the corresponding language. Use one, and the effect can be maintained for seven days.

"The current charms for knowing all languages are divided into three types. The lowest level is being able to understand and speak all languages under the ancient Feynapot language family. The production difficulty is the lowest, only using..."

"Bear" paused and made a conversion according to the current exchange rate:

"1000 Felkin.

"The middle level corresponds to all ordinary languages, 2000 Felkin, and the highest level can allow you to briefly master a specified supernatural language, 5000 Felkin.

"'Sleeve Sword', which one do you want?"

Franca listened seriously. For some reason, she always felt that "Bear's" look at her was very subtle, with a bit of pity and regret.

Is he pitying me for bravely trying to drink the "Witch" potion? Franca muttered in her heart, didn't look at "Muggle", and made her own decision:

"Three lowest-level charms for knowing all languages, one middle-level one.

"Uh, can you give a discount?"

She felt that Lumian would definitely go to the Southern Continent to track "Siso" later, so it was better to prepare a middle-level charm for knowing all languages now.

"No." "Bear" shook his head.

"Okay." Franca had no talent in bargaining, just habitually asked, so as not to be annoyed afterwards.

After she paid the money and agreed on the delivery method, the "Professor" wearing a butterfly-shaped black mask looked around and said thoughtfully:

"My 'Associate Professor' wife and I, as well as several 'Wizards' we know, have often had a strange dream recently. In the dream, there is a wilderness, and there are many wandering figures that cannot be seen clearly.

"Do you have them too?"

She was asking other "Wizards" in the "Academy" group.

Wilderness... wandering figures... is this talking about the "Other Shore World" of a certain "Lady"? Doesn't look like it. How could a "Wizard" dream of the "Other Shore World"? Lumian's eyebrows, covered by the silver-white half-face mask, wrinkled slightly.

Seeing that several other "Wizards" also said they had similar dreams, but the frequency and clarity of the dreams decreased significantly over time, Lumian, who was playing Aurora, also nodded and replaced the answer with a question:

"When did you first start having this dream?"

It wouldn't be an abnormality created by the "Hidden Sage", right?

The "Professor" had obviously confirmed this question:

"My wife and I and those friends all started after the night of the terrifying rain in Trier, last month's matter."

She knew that "Muggle" was also in Trier and understood which day she was referring to.

The terrifying rain was the matter of the night the "Hostel" ritual started... This was influenced by the power leaked from the seal? There is also high-level power of the "Reader" pathway sealed inside? Or, the fallen monks in the Deep Valley Monastery have a certain relationship with the "Hidden Sage", and this evil god secretly did something that night, leaving some power in the real world? Lumian thoughtfully said:

"I heard that the Deep Valley Monastery in Trier had some trouble that night, and the 'Reader' pathway and the 'Secret Supplicant' pathway are adjacent pathways."

The "Professor", "Associate Professor", and others all looked at "Muggle", not expecting this companion who had only moved to Trier for a few months to know some very secret local matters.

Lumian continued slowly:

"Should we find someone from the 'Reader' pathway to ask and see if they have had similar dreams?"

Good idea! Franca praised silently in her heart.
