Chapter 741: Reminder
Memorial Hall District, Orosai Street No. 9, Apartment 702.
Fu Lan Ka waited for a while before waiting for Jianna to return.
She sniffed and asked suspiciously:
"You drank?"
Didn't you say you were going to the Market District to find an opportunity to play a "Witch"?
Could it be that you drank on purpose to fish for law enforcement?
Jianna took off her black cloak, her expression slightly condensed, and said to Fu Lan Ka:
"I met Lu Mi."
"Ah?" Fu Lan Ka was stunned for a moment, "He is in the Market District? Didn't he go to the 'Aurora Society' to see Mr. K? I thought he hadn't come back because he was taken to accept the test, preparing to pick rewards..."
Jianna didn't hide it and repeated Lu Mi's state and the words he said almost completely.
"So that's it..." Fu Lan Ka's mood became complex.
She could understand Lu Mi's current feelings, and sympathized more and more with the encounter of "Muggle" Aurora, and she still remembered that the one worshipped by the "Aurora Society" was suspected to be the "Ancient Sun God" of the Third Era who returned in some way, and the "Ancient Sun God" was likely an earlier transmigrator, a transmigrator like them!
Transmigrators harmed transmigrators... The group of "April Fool's Day" was like this, and the "Ancient Sun God" was also like this... Fu Lan Ka sighed silently and decided to summon "Hela" lady's messenger later, tell the vortex action of the "Truth Academy" and the role played by the "True Creator" in the Kordu Village disaster to this vice-president of the Curly-Haired Baboons Research Society, and request a full gathering recently.
She didn't want to publicly tell all members of the Curly-Haired Baboons Research Society to be careful of the "True Creator" and the "Ancient Sun God" at the gathering. Some things, if people who haven't reached a certain level know them, it will be a disaster instead. After all, that person knows everything that is said.
Fu Lan Ka just hoped to let "Hela" and other organizers of the Curly-Haired Baboons Research Society raise their vigilance, and then remind other members in an indirect way through them.
In addition, Fu Lan Ka felt that the "Supervisor" of the "Truth Academy" was powerful, but this was not the most terrifying point about her and her accomplices.
The most unsettling thing for Fu Lan Ka was the ability and willingness of the "Brokers," which made the evil god sects that were originally a plate of loose sand, fighting each other, and even attacking each other, have a tendency to unite. The "Hostel" plan was the prototype of this change, and the "Vortex" matter might represent a phased achievement.
Facing the evil god sects that began to cooperate, Fu Lan Ka wanted to let the forces she contacted take action, collaborate with each other. For this reason, she was willing to tell "Hela" lady, a demigod who likely hid the Night Church behind her, all the information about the vortex and "Mirror People" for free.
She had written a letter before to ask "Judgment" lady's opinion on this matter, and the reply she got was "Yes."
"How is his state now?" Fu Lan Ka asked with concern, considering whether to go over and drink with Lu Mi until dawn to express support and comfort.
"It's okay for now." Jianna recalled for a few seconds, "Maybe it's also because the one worshipped by the 'Aurora Society' is too far away from him. The hatred is real, but it's also very illusory, and it's impossible to touch it for a long time."
In this regard, she still had the right to speak.
Fu Lan Ka said "Hmm" and began to think about what to do next.
At dawn, she visited Clarice for the first time, reported her encounter to this "Black Witch," the other party expressed appreciation, and asked her what she needed recently. Fu Lan Ka didn't be polite and proposed that she wanted materials related to the "Pain" potion.
At that time, the "Black Witch" didn't agree, nor did she reject it, just let her go again in two days, and exhorted her to find out the "Mirror People" confessed by
As for the "people in the mirror" that Mo Lan Avigny confessed about, whether it was Griffith, Palia, or Karatanza Tamara, none of them used their real names in reality; one could only rely on their not-so-clear identities to track them. Franca hoped on one hand to obtain "help" from the official authorities through "007," and on the other hand, she wanted to see if there were any members of the "Rose Redemptionist Order" within the "Curly-Haired Baboons Research Society"—this was also one of the reasons she requested that a full-member gathering be held soon.
As for the only "person in the mirror" whose identity was certain, the Deputy Minister of the Trier Police Department, Sport, Franca had gone to confirm the situation before dawn and discovered that the "person in the mirror" had already disappeared—this seemed to be the escaped "Supervisor" using some method to warn the "people in the mirror," for example, by letting the news of Mo Lan Avigny's accident spread rapidly.
…………
After finishing the remaining absinthe and seeing Jenna off, Lu Mian rubbed his temples and returned to the bedroom.
Under the illumination of the crimson moonlight passing through the curtains, he saw a letter folded into a square placed on the table.
"'Ms. Magician'? Didn't she just leave not long ago?" Lu Mian frowned slightly and picked up the letter paper.
This letter indeed came from Ms. "Magician," and the content was only a few short paragraphs:
"I forgot to tell you just now that while we were tracking that 'Supervisor' from the 'School of Truth,' we encountered 'Loki.'
"His state has undergone a relatively obvious change; it seems some problems occurred during the resurrection process after the Prayer Sea ritual, which caused the master of Dilan Castle, the former leader of the 'Hermit Order,' to revive in his body in some way.
"Zaratul has returned from death and become an attendant of the Celestial Worthy. Hmm, but He has not yet fully controlled 'Loki's' body, and 'Loki' has not yet completely perished, which has turned them into a stitched monster of spirit and soul, and the state is very unstable.
"You should not consider looking for Dilan Castle for the time being, and as for consuming 'Loki's' remaining resurrection chances, it is best to also avoid occasions where you might be found by him."
Zaratul... Franca had mentioned that this former leader of the "Hermit Order" played a quite important role in Emperor Roselle's growth process, but eventually betrayed the Emperor... It seems Vermuda Sauron of the Sauron family was driven mad by Him and the Emperor designing against him, walking into the Fourth Epoch Trier on his own... Can 'Loki's' current state be considered half-dead? Once Zaratul fully controls his body, he should be completely dead. What a pity... Lu Mian felt a bit regretful that he couldn't end 'Loki's' final life with his own hands, but he didn't feel any strong sense of loss or unwillingness because of it.
He had already let "Loki" die twice!
Burning the letter, Lu Mian pondered slightly, then walked out of the bedroom again and sat opposite Ludwig, who was wearing thick yellow cotton pajamas and a matching nightcap, watching the little boy quickly gnaw on a piece of cold steak with bone.
Ludwig was completely unaffected by his gaze and continued his great undertaking of eating.
After nearly a minute, Lu Mian tentatively asked:
"Are you willing to call me godfather?"
Ludwig looked up at him, then lowered his head again, picked up a portion of banana puree, and fed it into his mouth with a spoon.
Lu Mian changed the question:
"Are you willing to obey my orders, accept my command, and cultivate a tacit understanding in this regard?"
This time, Ludwig didn't even lift his head, his mouth moving continuously.
Lu Mian watched silently and slowly took something out of the "Traveler's Bag."
It was a mercury-colored eyeball contained in a glass jar—it was the Beyonder characteristic of the "Monster" pathway Sequence 7 "Lucky One," which had re-condensed after the "Torture" gloves shattered.
With a swish, Ludwig lifted his head.
Lu Mian ignored Ludwig's gaze and slowly took out a few items, including the "Serial Killer" Beyonder characteristic, placing them one by one on the dining table in front of him.
Then, he revealed a smile and said to Ludwig, who was wearing the thick yellow cotton nightcap:
"Are you willing to call me godfather?"
Ludwig was silent for several seconds, then called out in a low voice:
"Godfather."
Lu Mian asked further:
"Are you willing to obey my orders, accept my command, and cultivate a tacit understanding in this regard?"
Ludwig answered without a moment's hesitation:
"Willing."
While speaking, his eyes were fixed on the pile of things in front of Lu Mian.
Sigh... Seeing this, Lu Mian sighed silently.
One can drive a person with "food," but one cannot rely solely on "food," otherwise, it is very easy for a situation to arise where they are obedient when there is "food" and ignore you when there is no "food," which likely does not satisfy the ritual requirements of an "Iron-Blooded Knight."
Amidst his swirling thoughts, Lu Mian pointed to the pile of items in front of him and said with a smile:
"Since you admit you are my godson, you can choose one.
"However, there are conditions; you need to answer two or three questions for me."
Ludwig hesitated for a moment, his face with baby fat taut as he said:
"Okay."
"Which one do you want?" Lu Mian released goodwill first.
Ludwig looked left and right; he wanted to eat every single one and couldn't bear to part with any.
Finally, he overcame himself, made up his mind, and pointed to the "Serial Killer" Beyonder characteristic:
"That one!"
He really wants a Beyonder characteristic... Can this be made into a magical dish or cocktail? Lu Mian put away the other items and said to Ludwig with a smile:
"The first question:
"Which pathway does your inherent Beyonder ability belong to, what are its characteristics, and what Sequence are you roughly at now?"
He wanted to find inspiration for taming this sealed Angel from the information about Ludwig's Beyonder pathway.
"That's three questions," Ludwig muttered in a low voice.
Lu Mian pretended not to hear.
Seeing that his protest was ineffective, Ludwig had no choice but to chew on beef and mutton jerky while mumbling:
"It's, it's..."
He seemed to have trouble remembering his original name, so he had to find a noun to define it himself:
"It's the 'Gourmet' pathway."
"No wonder you are always in the appearance of appraising 'delicacies' and appraising various 'ingredients'." Lu Mian was not surprised at all.
Ludwig added earnestly:
"Simply put, it is a pathway that obtains supernatural power through hunger and through eating.
"The Sequence 9 corresponding to what you say is called 'Hobo,' losing everything else, always looking for food, but only barely surviving."
Were you an extreme roleplay of a "Hobo" before? You even lost your mind, and only eating was never forgotten... One cannot see what abilities a "Hobo" possesses from such a description... Lu Mian did not speak the mocking words.
Ludwig also did not detail the situation of the "Hobo" Sequence, turning instead to say:
"Sequence 8 is 'Glutton'."
