Mistbound Chronicles: Lumian's Legacy Novel Chapter 104
After listening to Rentas's answer, Lumian didn't know whether to laugh or be happy that he started from the wrong idea but achieved a satisfactory result.
He originally thought that extraordinary people like the fake Ev who believed in the "Mother Tree of Desire" would have difficulty restraining their desires for greed, food, sex, etc., so he chose to use gold coins to carry the tramp's bad luck. Who knows, the evil god believers are just in different places The sequence will be deeply affected by the corresponding desire. When they truly master that power or obtain a new gift, they can be freed and enter the next state. Although the original desires are still relatively strong, they are no longer uncontrollable.
In other words, if Rentas hadn't been playing the role of Mr. Ev and needed to show that stinginess, he would most likely not have easily picked up the bad luck gold coin, and would have examined the situation more carefully.
Of course, if he is insensitive to the changes in fate and cannot detect the problem of the gold coin, he will still have a good chance of taking the gold coin as his own after discovering that the owner has gone far away and will not come back. After all, he is more powerful than ordinary people. People are even more greedy for petty gains, and in the hearts of a certain proportion of ordinary people, what they pick up is theirs.
Lumian had a deeper feeling about what Rentas just said:
"Indeed, don't get obsessed with the role you're playing." But Rentas was in the act,
There is nothing wrong with pursuing details, otherwise it would be easy for people to find out that he is a fake Ev...
Franka felt that the "channeling" was coming to an end, so she hurriedly asked:
"Who can you guess are the core members of the Blessed Society?"
Rentas' pale and blurred face moved from side to side:
"Even if I tell you, you won't be able to find them.
"They all came to Laogecote after receiving gifts and becoming actors. They used fake names and showed us fake faces. When their acting skills mature and they control the corresponding desires, they will return to their true self when they leave the theater. identity.
"If you want to know their false identities, then go collect the list of the heroines of all the dramas in Lao Gelong in the past two years. Those are the ones who have performed the most plays.
Speaking of the heroine of the old Pigeon Cage Theatre, Lumian thought of a name:
"Is Charlotte Calvino a core member of the Beatitudes?"
That is the protagonist of the play "La Sylphide", and the dress in the stills is reminiscent of Susanna Matisse.
Rentas's face became more and more blurred, and his voice became more and more erratic:
"I have no idea.
"She grew up step by step from an acting apprentice, and has only gradually assumed the leading role in recent months. She is not an outsider, but an acting apprentice may also be developed by Maiple Meyer into a member of the Blessed Society."
Franka was about to ask Maipu Maier about the corresponding sequence and ability, when Rentas' spirit burned by the black flames could no longer hold up and dissipated on the surface of the makeup mirror.
Franca ended the ceremony with a little regret. The "spiritual wall" was lifted.
Then, she squatted next to Rentas' body, fumbled in different pockets, and sighed:
"I haven't asked Maipu about Maier yet, forget it, let the officials worry about it.
Lumian thought for a while and said:
"I heard a playwright say that Miep Maier was very ambitious and wanted to make the Old Pigeon Cage the most famous theater in Trier and to win the Legion of Honor.
"Eager for success, eager to be recognized?" Franka remembered Rentas's description of the Sequence 6 "honored recipients", "Is this the ceiling for male members of the Blessed Society?"
"Probably." Lumian found it difficult to give an accurate answer.
At this time, Franka has searched out a bunch of items:
Two small metal bottles, a leather wallet, some dough that fits the curve of the face, small pieces of thin skin close to human skin color, eyebrow pencil and other makeup tools...
"What do you smell?" Franka threw the two metal vials to Lumian.
Lumian answered after a brief analysis:
"One bottle is the one you smelled just now, and the other bottle should be the matching one.
they look
It's like a must-have item for believers of the "Mother Tree of Desire" when going out.
"That kind of occult smelling salt?" Franka pondered for a while, "You already have a bottle, and it hasn't been used up yet. It belongs to me. I'll give you these disguise props and the money in your wallet. , you pick it yourself, and leave the ones you don’t want to me. Damn it, this poor guy, not to mention extraordinary properties and magical items, doesn’t even have materials, spells, or weapons!
"The smelling salts and occult smelling salts are very useful." Lumian, who had only received extraordinary characteristics from "Iron Hammer" Aite, didn't care too much.
Franka didn't even spare the crotch and soles of Rentas's feet, but still couldn't find anything else.
She took out a folded cloth bag, unfolded it, put away the pile of things on the ground, and said to Lumian:
"We'll break it up when we go back."
After saying that, she stood up, looked at Charlie who was in a frightened state, and said to herself thoughtfully:
"He saw our battle with Rentas, what should he do?"
Charlie's legs softened, and while leaning towards Lumian, he gritted his teeth and said:
"I, I won't betray you!"
Before Lumian could speak, Franka sighed and said:
"Forget it, let's leave it to the official Beyonders."
Deliberately provoking the topic and quickly finalizing the conclusion...are you afraid that I will kill Charlie and silence him? Lumian, who finally got rid of the desire to perform, completely regained his calmness and rationality, thought for a while and said:
"I have another way.
"Charlie neither needs to go to St. Robles Church to seek refuge, nor does he need to worry about Susanna Matisse looking for him recently.
He thought of his own "transportation technique"!
It was not used before because Susanna Matisse has not continued to pester Charlie and there is no corresponding fate to change. But now, Susanna Matisse is close to recovery. Charlie is the first target. The fortune has changed and there is a life-threatening risk. The bloody disaster is just in time for luck!
When the time comes, Lumian will "give" the gold coins carrying the bloody disaster to the real Ev, and let them fight their own people.
Of course, this is different from the "Art of Replacement" and the "Fate Exchange" of "Fallen Mercury". It only transfers the bloody disaster for a period of time. In other words, Charlie will indeed not be killed by Susanna Marty in recent days. Si is keeping an eye on her, but in a few days, unless Susanna Matisse has been completely purified or has lost her memory, this kind of threat from the outside will still come.
But the official will take action tomorrow, and there is enough intelligence to support it!
Lumian didn't do this when he found out there was a problem with Charlie's luck, because he could change Charlie's luck, but not his own. Susanna would also attack him, the enemy who abetted Charlie's betrayal, so he might as well use the simplest way. Disguising themselves, urging Charlie to go to the church of the "Eternal Blazing Sun" to spare more time to guard against Susanna Matisse, and now, they are sure that Susanna Matisse will only recover in two days.
"Really?" Charlie's eyes lit up.
Lumian smiled and asked:
"Do you believe me or don't you believe me?" Charlie mumbled back:
"Phase, believe, believe!
"You're just teasing people about little things." Franka asked curiously:
"any solution?"
You have to avoid it... Lumian muttered silently and thought about the specific details:
If I want to change Charlie's current luck, praying to myself will definitely not work. I can only use the power sealed in my body...
I have to wrong Charlie and put him into a coma manually. I can't expose that there is contamination on my body and I am suspected of praying to the evil god for help...
Lumian was just about to tell Charlie to follow him and was ready to knock him out with a punch, when a thought suddenly flashed through his mind:
“Does using the power within the seal count as using Termipolos?
"Should I write to Ms. Magician and ask for her opinion?
"The tramp's bad luck before didn't involve mystery or transcendence at all, and the power extracted from the ritual was not much. This time
This time we may have to fight against the Sequence 5 evil spirits inside the Evil God Altar, and the support needed will definitely be several times that of last time...
"What will happen then?
"From the time Charlie's fortune changed to now, all the things were urgent and the time was just right, as if they were creating such an opportunity and not giving me the opportunity to seriously weigh it.
······
"If I hadn't just written a letter to Ms. Magician and got the reminder, I might have already started transferring money to Charlie..."
Seeing that Lumian was frozen in place and didn't make any move, Franka asked tentatively:
"What's wrong?"
Lumian came back to his senses instantly, thought about it and said:
"I just discovered that the method I prepared seems to have serious flaws."
"Ah." Charlie made a short sound. He was disappointed and worried.
Franka pondered for a few seconds and said:
"I also have an idea:
"Charlie, instead of going to St. Robles Church, followed us to White Coat Street.
"As long as we survive tonight, tomorrow will be fine.
"Think about it, we originally planned to fight against Susanna Mattis, and Susanna Mattis can't leave the altar for two days. Even if someone comes to attack us tonight, it will only be Map Meier and his men. Even if he invites other core members of the Blessed Society, as long as they are not as good as Susanna Matisse in the altar, we are quite sure that we can hold on until dawn. If it doesn't work, we can still make a big noise and attract official extraordinary people. We took advantage of the chaos to escape and left the market area.
"This is the worst possible development and if Charlie went to St Robles we would now have to consider moving and would be equally likely to be attacked.
Lumian thought for a few seconds and felt that it was feasible.
He nodded and said, "I have no objection."
He then looked at Charlie, who couldn't wait to respond:
"I don't have a problem either.
He still has a lot of confidence in Ciel and Franka.
Lumian concentrated his energy again and re-observed Charlie's fortune.
He was quite astonished to find that Charlie's bloody disaster had obviously weakened, and there were signs of improvement!
This... Charlie's real misfortune is to participate in the "Transportation Ceremony"? When I gave up that idea, his fate changed? Although there are still bloody disasters, they are not that serious anymore... Fuck Thermapolos! Lumian understood instantly and couldn't help but curse in his heart.
