Chapter 395: Change of Path (asking for monthly ticket at the end of the month) The digestion progress of the "Arsonist" potion was much faster than Lumian expected, probably because activating the aura of "Blood Emperor" Alistair Tudor without protection was equivalent to setting a fire in Trier, and the fire was burning the Church of St. Viever or the Cathedral of the "God of Steam and Machinery" Church. Hela looked at the flesh and worms being devoured by the red flames for a few seconds, then turned to Franka and said: "Now can we talk about the clues related to time travel?" Franka hummed, organized her words and said: "Charle had tried a special summoning ritual before, but due to an accident, he summoned a shadow that seemed to be from my and Muggle's hometown, and signed a contract with us. “After I learned about this, I asked Ciel to summon it again and try to communicate with the shadow. "The language used by the ghost is indeed very similar to my hometown. When we asked him where he was from, he said, 'The Blood Emperor disturbed the underworld, and the underworld people sacrificed themselves and jumped into the river.'" Franka expressed the latter sentence in Intis. Hela listened quietly and turned her gaze to Lumian: "The afterimage of 'Blood Emperor' Alistair Tudor? "The one who dragged him back was a member of the underworld?" "That's what we guessed." Lumian replied simply, saying that Franca also knew about the "Samaritan Woman's Fountain" and there was no need to be too obscure.
“People of the underworld…” “Hela” repeated the term in a low voice. Franka continued to talk about her and Lumian's speculation, suspecting that the illusory river behind the spring was connected to the original world of herself and other members of the "Curly-Haired Baboon Research Society". “Hela” remained silent, with tiny lights flickering in her dark eyes, as if hiding a field of stars. “That’s about it. I will share this information with everyone after we eliminate the traitors in the research institute.” Franka thought for a few seconds and reminded “Hela”, “In addition to the April Fools’ Day gang, there may be accomplices of Loki lurking in other groups. They usually participate in activities normally and don’t play pranks. They will play a role at critical moments.” Hela nodded slightly and said: "I will discuss with Gandalf and the others how to deal with this matter." The lady then looked at Lumian: "If there's nothing else, I'll take you back to the surface." Lumian withdrew his gaze from the flames, exhaled and said: "I'll take care of this." He squatted down and placed his hands in front of Loki's body. Rumble, accompanied by a dull explosion and a slight tremor of the earth, the ground carrying flesh, blood and worms suddenly sank and fell into a pile of mud and rocks. When Franka saw this scene, she nodded in sudden realization. This way, any remaining contamination on Loki's body wouldn't be exposed to any cave adventurers who might pass by later. She helped carry the bodies of the two secret dolls over, hesitating whether to pull out the teeth and nails of the "ghost". These are all very good spiritual materials that can be used to make extraordinary weapons. If the "ghost" had gone out of control and turned into a monster, Franka would not have any psychological burden in dealing with his body, but now, he still maintains his human form. Considering that she had plenty of offensive weapons and poison to coat them with, Franka simply took the dust dropped by the translucent "ghost" and absorbed the remaining spirituality. After stripping off the clothes of the evil god's gifted ones and checking for any clues to follow, Franka threw both bodies into the burning fire pit. After doing these things, she looked at "Hela" and asked curiously:
"Ms. Hela, have you advanced to Sequence 4 and become a demigod?" Otherwise, how could he control Loki so easily? “Yes.” Hela nodded. Franca considered and tentatively said: "You seemed to be from the 'Corpse Collector' path before, but this time you showed the power of the 'Night' path. Did you use a magical item?" Just like borrowing a certain sealed object, allowing everyone to "secretly" enter the "Land of Night" to participate in the party? ——The “Corpse Collector” path is also known as the “Death” path. Hela replied in a cold voice: "I have moved to Sequence 4, 'Night Watcher', in the 'Night' pathway." “Why?” Franka didn’t quite understand Hela’s choice. Although she had planned to switch to the adjacent "Hunter" path when she was promoted to Sequence 4, that was mainly for the purpose of restoring her male body. Under normal circumstances, it would definitely be a better choice to go down one path. After all, the role-playing of the previous few sequences was a deepening of this path, and it would be easier and safer to take on Sequence 4 on the same path. Of course, if you really can't find the potion formula and main ingredients of Sequence 4 in this path, you can also consider switching to the adjacent path. It won't necessarily make you half crazy, and you can also gain mixed and weird abilities. Franka had never seen Hela express the desire to change her path before. When she discussed and exchanged ideas at the research meeting, she focused on the problems in the field of "corpse collectors", and most of the materials and items collected and sold were concentrated in this path. Could it be that the formula, main and auxiliary materials, or corresponding rituals of the Sequence 4 potion of the "Corpse Collector" pathway were not available? Franca made a guess based on her relatively rich knowledge of the occult. The expression on “Hela’s” slightly pale face suddenly softened a little. She looked into the darkness outside the abandoned mine, her voice becoming more volatile: "If I continue on the path of 'Death', the gods I believe in will be unable to resist making me a key vessel to be used at a specific moment." At this point, Hela smiled, which was unusual for her, and said with a somewhat vacant look in her eyes: "It's already difficult for Him to maintain His humanity, so don't let it affect Him any further." Franka was confused, but she roughly understood that there was a reason why Ms. Hela changed her path. Hela glanced at her and said: "If I can advance to Sequence 3, I should switch back to the 'Death God' path, or switch to the 'Warrior' path. "The high-level resources for the 'dark night' pathway are too stretched." "Wow." Franka imagined "Hela" who had different sequences of abilities from "Night", "Corpse Collector" and "Warrior", and thought it seemed very cool and powerful. She is full of anticipation as she thinks that she may also possess some of the abilities of both a "witch" and a "hunter" in the future. At this time, Lumian burned the mutated body of "Loki" and filled up the hole. "Hela" immediately made the area dark. ………… When Lumian and Franca regained consciousness, they found themselves leaving the abandoned mine and standing near the entrance to the underground Trier in the chaotic street. In the distance, there was a faint noise coming from White Coat Street. “Huh, this is the most dangerous time since I became a Beyonder.” Franka exhaled and said with emotion, “If Loki hadn’t used me as bait to lure you here, I would have most likely become a secret doll.” Lumian hummed and said nothing.
He stepped forward and walked slowly into the street. Franca followed and asked curiously: "Did Rocky say anything when he was trash-talking you? "Although a lot of it is lies, it also contains quite valuable information." For example, every member of the "Curly-Haired Baboon Research Society" is suspected to have the residual aura of Tianzun. Lumian was silent for a few seconds and said: "He told me how they murdered Aurore, how they repeatedly leaked her mental state and psychiatric treatment, how they laughed at her unscrupulously..." He told the story simply, but no matter how simple it was, it still made his anger surge up again. "Ah?" Franca was stunned at first, then she understood the key point, "What about the psychiatrist 'I have a friend'?" Lumian nodded slowly. Franka thought about it carefully, and the more she thought about it, the angrier she became. "Fuck! How can they be so bad? I support you in cutting them into pieces, dismembering them, skinning them and stuffing them with straw!" After dozens of seconds, she finally cursed out. Lumian said nothing, as if he was weighing the feasibility. Franca glanced at him and said hesitantly: "Just now when you were face to face with the other members of the April Fools' Day team, you actually held back and didn't kill anyone directly..." Lumian chuckled: "Why should I kill those idiots? It would make me happier to make these self-proclaimed smart guys feel pain, embarrassment, and regret when they think of how they were used by Loki and his men, than to kill them. "After this, whenever someone mentions 'Loki', it's like insulting their intelligence to their face, and they can't stop it." Hearing this, Franca breathed a sigh of relief. She said to Lumian: “White Coat Street looks quite lively. I plan to stay at Janna’s place tonight, hehe. "Well, I will briefly tell my Major Arcana about this matter later, saying that if Loki is not completely killed within two months, I hope to be transferred out of the market area. The same goes for you. You can apply to be in charge of the Iron Cross branch located elsewhere." "I will also write to my Major Arcana cards." Lumian said that he would not be careless and underestimate the potential harm of "Loki". He had always kept his personal and public affairs separate and distinct, and whether he was dealing with the parish priest or investigating "Loki", he had never thought of seeking help from Ms. "Magician". But this time, he had used the aura of the "Blood Emperor" and created quite a stir, so it was necessary to report afterwards. Seeing that Lumian still maintained basic sanity, Franka felt relieved, waved her hand, and dived towards the botanical garden. Lumian withdrew his gaze, walked along the street that still retained the heat of the day, and entered the Golden Rooster Hotel. He also didn't want to go to White Coat Street at this time to face the official Beyonders who were carefully searching for clues. As soon as he opened the door of Room 207, Lumian saw a figure. She was a "magician" lady wearing an orange waisted long skirt and holding a wide-brimmed round hat with flowers. "Are you waiting for me?" Lumian asked subconsciously.
The "magician" smiled: "if not?" "How did you know I would come back here?" Lumian closed the door. The "magician" smiled and said: “This is a revelation from destiny. "Tell me, why do you use the aura of the Blood Emperor?" PS: Please vote for me at the end of the month. It will be doubled. It will be a waste if you don’t vote~ (End of this chapter)
