Chapter 868

Trier, botanical garden, inside that wooden hut.

Lu Mian and the others were unable to open their eyes for a full minute due to the sudden burst of brightness from the high sky.

The first to recover was Louis. He ran to the window and gazed at the plants outside, as if looking for something.

The second was Lu Mian. He frowned and said to Forsyth, Yu Jianna, and Anthony:

"Has the vortex officially started? The commotion is a bit big."

"I don't know if it will affect us." As soon as Forsyth said this, she suddenly had a strong premonition of danger.

In this regard, the spiritual intuition of "Witches" had always been very strong.

Almost at the same time, Yu Jianna also blurted out:

"It definitely will. I have a premonition. We can't stay here anymore!"

Lu Mian was stunned for a moment, lowered his voice, and quickly "muttered to himself":

"Termiboros, you didn't give a warning because what's about to happen is something you hope to see?"

As he spoke, Lu Mian used his eyes to let Forsyth, Yu Jianna, Anthony, and Lu Jianuo quickly gather around, grabbing his arms, shoulders, and vest respectively.

The only one without a tacit understanding was Louis.

Lu Mian looked at this little boy and said in a deep voice:

"Do you want to be punished by writing homework? Come over here!"

Louis's face showed fear, and he instinctively turned his body back, but the next second, he turned his head and looked out the window with reluctance.

He didn't know what he was waiting for; he just felt that he should wait here, waiting for a very important matter.

"Mm?" Lu Mian urged again.

Louis's face changed for a moment, but finally, unable to resist the godfather's majesty and the fear of learning, homework, and exams, he ran to Lu Mian's front with his short legs, thump, thump, thump, and grabbed his godfather's black vest.

Indeed, there is still not enough tacit understanding, and the ritual cannot be called complete... Lu Mian sighed inwardly and activated the black mark on his right shoulder.

He was going to take such a large group of people to "teleport" to New Bai Yin City, to the headquarters of the "Fool" Church!

Lu Mian then saw layers of rich color blocks and countless transparent strange figures, and saw the seven pure and clear rays of light that were always in the distance above his head.

He was about to shuttle through the familiar Spirit Realm to the coordinate representing New Bai Yin City when his body suddenly sank, breaking away from this fantastic, mysterious, crazy, and illusory world.

Lu Mian found that he and the others had returned to the wooden hut in the botanical garden, returning to the state when Louis had just grabbed his vest.

Having had many experiences, his eyes narrowed, and he reminded his companions, Forsyth, Yu Jianna, and others, in a deep voice:

"'Ring-in-the-Middle'!"

…………

On the primitive island where Emperor Roselle's last mausoleum was located, inside the tomb area permeated with thin white mist.

The three pieces of information that flew out from the point of light where the servant of fate Higgdon was located fell toward three different points of light.

One was where Higgdon of the "All-Things-End Society" was located, one seemed to be inside a certain tunnel in Underground Trier, and the figure holding the calcium carbide lamp was Harrison, a visitor from Easter Island wearing a black robe, whose appearance was different from people in the Northern and Southern Continents.

Another point of light first revealed darkness, then outlined a figure. This figure was over fifty years old, with thick, slightly white golden hair, and lake-blue eyes that were clear and deep.

He was a man, the beard around his mouth trimmed exceptionally neatly, his facial features all profound. Even though he was old, he could be called handsome.

Vazan Sanson!

Vazan Sanson, the "Ring-in-the-Middle" of the "Sinner" organization!

Roshi Louise Sanson, that is, the father of Aurora's original body, a believer in fate, Vazan Sanson!

Vazan Sanson, wearing a black formal suit, disappeared into the darkness reflected by the expanding point of light as soon as he got the information containing the location of Lu Mian, Louis, and others.

Higgdon of the "All-Things-End Society" also quickly left the room he was in and no longer participated in this complex transaction without real distance.

Regarding this, the "Overseer" Pailer did not have any surprise and announced the progress of the transaction in that illusory and ethereal voice:

"Vazan Sanson of the 'Sinner' organization has obtained key intelligence on recovering the fate angel. The corresponding payment will be given by the great 'Circle of Fate'."

"Mr. Higgdon of the 'All-Things-End Society' has begun action. The reward will be obtained after he completes the recovery of the angel of 'Primordial Hunger' and provides some help to Vazan Sanson, paid by Loki of the 'April Fool's'..."

Accompanied by these words from Pailer and the chanting of those honorific names, the area around the white mist gradually became dark and uncertain, shadows looming, as if a terrifying will was about to descend.

Normally, Pailer should not have known and spoken about information related to great existences; that would bring very terrible and very serious consequences. After all, after she persuaded the gray-leaning "Mystery Queen" Bei Er Na Dai by helping with previous matters, she only obtained a new gift through a not-so-small sacrifice, becoming a true "Vortex Weaver," and had not yet reached the angel level.

But she was currently under the protection of the vortex ritual and had just accepted a wisp of mist passed over by her faith's truth, the "Indefinite Mist," so she could naturally remain unaffected—her understanding of those great existences all came from that wisp of mist. Before, she only contacted corresponding secret organizations and underground sects to reach relatively certain agreements.

At this time, Bei Er Na Dai decomposed herself into strands of information, surging toward Pailer's face in the gray fog in the form of a vast and magnificent torrent.

She hoped to influence the other party in this way, making the subsequent transactions unable to proceed, but without destroying the current ritual.

Pailer's face, composed of mist, suddenly expanded and disappeared from Bei Er Na Dai's sensing.

After the vast torrent of information rushed over, it seemed to be lost in the white mist, unable to find the true location of the target no matter what.

Soon, the torrent of information broke away from the white mist and reorganized Bei Er Na Dai's body, while Pailer's face highlighted in different places of the white mist, sometimes laughing, sometimes cursing, sometimes pretending to be friendly, or chattering endlessly.

These faces aggregated inward, once again forming Pailer's blurred face, which was sometimes twisted and sometimes normal, deep within the white mist.

Pailer continued to say in the "Language of Order":

"Harrison from Easter Island obtained the location information of Lu Mian Li and will go to the Trier of the Fourth Epoch through a special mirror world after the vortex ritual ends. He will pay a special item of the 'Fate' path as a reward.

"This is the item that Lady Higgdon, the servant of fate, wants to obtain..."

When Pailer announced the new transaction, a figure with only an upper body grew out from behind the "Mystery Queen" Bei Er Na Dai. That figure was nearly transparent and quite illusory.

This figure looked exactly the same as Bei Er Na Dai, even the clothes were completely identical. She held a pale mask that existed only at the eye position and flickered with metallic luster, quickly putting it on her face.

"Pale Death"!

"Pale Death," another "0" level sealed artifact possessed by Bei Er Na Dai!

She wanted to use this to control Pailer.

Just then, Bei Er Na Dai's vision suddenly blurred, feeling that the surrounding environment and distance had become exceptionally chaotic.

She was passively changed in position, and a low voice that was exceptionally familiar rang in her ears:

"Bei Er Na Dai..."

…………

Outside the "Black Emperor" mausoleum, in the white mist that was becoming increasingly thick and changing more and more.

Harrison took out an item within his corresponding point of light somewhere in Underground Trier.

That item was a bead the size of a thumb, colorful, with a glass-like texture, revealing an aura that made people peaceful.

Harrison then threw this bead into the white mist around him.

Under the gaze of the "Overseer" Pailer, this bead passed out of the point of light corresponding to Harrison, passed through the thick white mist, and flew into the point of light where the initiator of the "Dream Seeker," Higgdon, was located.

The beautiful woman who was weaving fate received this glass-textured bead with diverse colors with her only remaining right hand.

Her closed eyes suddenly saw a scene:

A man with a bald head, wearing a yellow robe and a strange cloak, sat cross-legged on a bed. Behind his head was a wheel of pure light. Deep within that wheel of light, it seemed to lead to an unknown place, with many things hidden.

Higgdon put down this bead, pulled out another hair, and completed the last bit of things she needed to do.

That was a blessing.

A blessing from fate!

"The Vortex Plan will be successfully completed."

Higgdon's black hair, carrying such information, was woven into those previous silk threads.

With a swish, a large piece of skin on the right half of Higgdon's face was forcibly torn off by an invisible force, revealing bloody, wriggling flesh.

She had not yet become an angel and could not normally weave fate that had such far-reaching influence. She could only rely on the goddess's statue to forcibly complete it, but every time she wove a section, she would suffer a serious injury. Her eyes were blinded in this process, and her feet, legs, left arm, and fingers were also broken in this process.

Of course, as long as she didn't die on the spot, she could rely on special potions traded by "Brokers" to obtain corresponding treatment.

The "Overseer" Pailer's face within the white mist cast her gaze toward another point of light.

The scene corresponding to that point of light seemed to be an altar located inside an ancient castle. Around the altar lay incomplete corpses. Their flesh, blood, and bones had been made into brushes and pigments.

A man with long hair, empty eyes, and a crazy expression had already completed the preparatory work in the center of the altar.

That was an evil oil painting that was only two strokes away from finishing.

This oil painting depicted an endless starry sky, a dark starry sky, but on the left side, there were circles of inward blood color, both like a special tunnel and like the mouth of some creature. On the right side, there was a large amount of bone powder flickering with silver-white and black light. They were only a little bit away from connecting into a ring.

The "Overseer" Pailer's voice rang out:

"The believer of the string, Mr. Sage of the 'Fantasy Society,' sacrificed a large number of gifted ones and followers, and is about to complete a great and outstanding painting!

"Next, we will see the presentation of that painting. Mr. Sage's reward will be given personally by the great 'Indefinite Mist' at the end of the vortex ritual, which is also what the great existence he worships wants to see."

ps: Thanks to 37 Great Demon King for the reward to the Gold Alliance~

I will complete the extra update within this week!
