Chapter 716: The Split Tamara Family
After Yebus said the number "0-05," he looked at Fu Lan Ka and Jianna with extreme anticipation, hoping to see shocked and fearful expressions on their faces.
Given the strength shown by this Beyonder team, they should be very clear about what a "0" level sealed artifact represents and what it means!
That is a terrifying thing that can destroy the entire Trier, and even destroy the entire world!
And the smaller the number of a "0" level sealed artifact, the higher the danger level.
Now, what we are discussing is "0-05"!
Fu Lan Ka and Jianna did show surprise and curiosity, but none of them were what Yebus expected to see.
They didn't even respond to Yebus, turning their heads at the same time and casting their gazes at Lu Mi.
Although they hadn't seen and didn't dare to see the specific content, they had both heard Lu Mi talk about it. Ludwig, this monster child, had "stolen" a sealed artifact document from the Knowledge Church and given it to Lu Mi as a reward for the deal.
That document belonged to "0-01"!
"0-05"? Lu Mi raised an eyebrow.
According to what he knew, in more ancient times, sealed artifacts shouldn't have had numbers. Even if they did, they belonged to the separate actions of different churches. It wasn't until the end of the Fourth Era or the beginning of the Fifth Era that the seven orthodox churches that truly ruled the world established the current common sealed artifact division rules and used them to number those they controlled.
Among them, because "0" and "1" level sealed artifacts were extremely dangerous, the orthodox churches reached an agreement to inform each other of the general situation, unify the numbering, and never repeat it.
That is to say, there was no possibility that the "Eternal Blazing Sun" church had a "0-05" sealed artifact and the "Night Goddess" church also had a "0-05" sealed artifact.
Only the "Wish-Granting Lamp" in the whole world could be called "0-05"!
And when the seven orthodox churches first numbered the "0" level sealed artifacts they possessed, they must have sorted them based on elements such as the degree of danger, the time of appearance, and the uniqueness of their essence. Those obtained later were named according to the order of sealing.
In this way, those dozens of "0" level sealed artifacts in the front would likely follow the rule that the smaller the number, the higher the degree of danger and the more special the essence. "0-05" being able to rank in the fifth place among so many "0" level sealed artifacts was enough to explain its terror and status!
Of course, according to such rules, the "0" level sealed artifacts with larger numbers weren't necessarily weaker than those with smaller numbers.
Lu Mi looked at Yebus and said in a tone that wasn't too exaggerated:
"'0-05'? The terrifying thing that ranks fifth among all '0' level sealed artifacts?"
"Yes." Yebus's boasting psychology was finally satisfied a little.
Lu Mi asked curiously:
"Does the name 'Wish-Granting Lamp' mean it can grant wishes?"
At this moment, a stronger expectation than his expression surged in Lu Mi's heart.
Yebus nodded solemnly:
"Yes, it can grant the holder any ten wishes."
Before Lu Mi could ask further, Yebus added:
"But as far as I know, the realization of those wishes is in a quite twisted form, or accompanied by extremely terrible consequences. Moreover, no one who has ever possessed the lamp has had a good end. Roselle Gustav perhaps died because of this."
Hearing this, Lu Mi fell silent.
"'0-05' once belonged to Emperor Roselle?" Fu Lan Ka looked at Lu Mi and asked actively.
Yebus answered without hesitation:
"Correct."
"What about now? Do you have any clues about '0-05'?" Fu Lan Ka asked with great interest.
Yebus was very happy to share:
"Yes, it should be with the leader of the hidden organization 'Dawn of Elements'."
"That leader is suspected to be Roselle's eldest daughter, Bei Er Na Dai."
"Wow!" Fu Lan Ka let out a sigh of admiration and relief, just like hearing that an old friend had died but his child was doing okay.
Although after the Sea Prayer Ritual, she and Lu Mi knew that Emperor Roselle's eldest daughter Bei Er Na Dai was still alive, had invented fairy tale magic, and was closely related to the "Hermit" of the Tarot Club's Major Arcana, they didn't know the specific situation of the other party.
Now, she was pleasantly surprised to hear that Bei Er Na Dai had become the leader of a hidden organization.
That "Dawn of Elements," Fu Lan Ka had heard of before, knowing that they mainly focused on researching arcane knowledge and supernatural alchemy, and opposed another hidden organization that pursued knowledge, the "Mosque Ascetic Order," mainly active in the Intis region, the Central-South zone, and the sea.
"The Emperor's relic being with his eldest daughter is very normal." Lu Mi was also a little happy for Emperor Roselle.
Fu Lan Ka asked Yebus excitedly:
"Have you planned how to deal with Bei Er Na Dai?"
Yebus shook his head slowly:
"We don't have the corresponding strength yet. This is one of the reasons we cooperate with the 'Mirror Person'."
"Only by practicing truth and pleasing truth can the 'Supervisors' obtain more gifts to confront Bei Er Na Dai and her subordinates."
Is the ritual to obtain gifts by controlling the government and practicing "truth" to different degrees? Hmm, Yebus himself also said that this is a ritual to please "truth"... Their ritual to obtain gifts is quite different from other evil god sects. It is not based on blood sacrifice, but rather values the influence, utilization, and transformation of order... Lu Mi summarized a major feature of the "Truth School" from Yebus's words.
He thought for two seconds and said:
"'Supervisor' is both a position and a title?"
"Equivalent to Sequence what of the potion pathway?"
"Sequence 4, just gained divinity." Yebus answered very concisely, not knowing whether he was unwilling to talk about this aspect or didn't know much about it himself.
Lu Mi changed the topic:
"We have already understood the philosophy and purpose of your school, what is the purpose of the 'Mirror Person'?"
Yebus recalled and said:
"They also want to open the seal of that ancient city underground. Only by lifting the seal can they enter the depths of the special Mirror World they originally lived in and find something with special significance, but that has nothing to do with us."
"They have also been letting more 'Mirror Persons' sneak out and replace the original owners."
"Whether they have other purposes, I don't know."
"Besides Mo Lan Avigny, what other 'Mirror Persons' do you know?" Fu Lan Ka didn't hide her desire to know the answer.
Yebus shook his head:
"Since we reached a cooperation agreement with Mo Lan Avigny, he let other 'Mirror Persons' change their positions and identities, and they can only be contacted by him."
"How did you discover that Mo Lan Avigny was a 'Mirror Person'?" Lu Mi sought another clue.
Yebus laughed:
"Our 'Truth School' is based on some members of the Tamara family. Several of them had long suspected that Mo Lan Avigny and some other clansmen had problems. After receiving the revelation of truth, they completely confirmed this guess."
"What pathway was the original owner of Mo Lan Avigny?" Lu Mi frowned.
Yebus didn't help Mo Lan Avigny hide it:
"The 'Justiciar' pathway. The current him not only possesses the power of the 'Justiciar' pathway but can also use some powers related to mirrors."
"Are there any members of the Tamara family's 'Justiciar' branch who neither follow 'Truth' nor have been replaced by 'Mirror Persons'?" Lu Mi asked further.
"Yes, they broke with our 'Truth School' and have been trying to deal with us." Yebus answered truthfully.
This... The Tamara family first split into two branches, "Justiciar" and "Apprentice," and then the "Justiciar" branch split into those who believe in "Truth," those who were replaced by "Mirror Persons," and those who stick to the original tradition... But the "Apprentice" branch of the Tamara family and the Witch sect are mixed together, which is more likely to be replaced by "Mirror Persons." Did that branch also split? Why has your Tamara family been splitting? Are there hidden secrets in the Fourth Era that haven't been solved? Lu Mi combined the information he mastered and made an analysis and speculation.
"What sequence is Mo Lan Avigny roughly equivalent to?" Seeing Lu Mi silent, Jianna helped ask.
"Sequence 5." Yebus answered Jianna's question with a smile.
Sequence 5 "Punishment Knight" ah... Fu Lan Ka had the guidance of the Major Arcana "Justice" and was very familiar with the "Arbitrator" pathway.
Sequence 9 is "Arbitrator," Sequence 8 is "Sheriff," Sequence 7 is "Interrogator," Sequence 6 is "Judge."
"Punishment Knight" with mirror magic and abilities related to the Mirror World... Lu Mi looked at Yebus and asked with a smile:
"You are not a 'Mirror Person' or a 'Witch,' why can you freely enter and exit the Mirror World and not be affected by certain dangers there?"
Yebus pointed to the glass cufflink on his cuff:
"This is an item Mo Lan Avigny gave us, which can allow us to enter and exit the Mirror World and use the connection between mirrors to shuttle without being sucked to other mirrors."
"It can still be used five times."
Very good, it will be ours later... Hmm, let's call it "Mirror Button"... At this moment, Fu Lan Ka even thought of the name of the cufflink.
Lu Mi nodded:
"If your abilities correspond to the potion pathway, what is Sequence 9 called?"
Because it was very likely that a conflict would occur with the "Truth School" next, Lu Mi didn't let go of this opportunity to understand the other party's supernatural abilities.
Yebus showed a proud smile:
"It's 'Broker'."
"We are the gray between white and black, the mist between light and darkness, the bridge communicating order and shadows!"
"Speak human language..." Fu Lan Ka muttered in a low voice.
Lu Mi smiled, not fooled, and asked:
"'Broker' has what specific abilities?"
