"Magic Wishing Lamp" is a piece of Sealed Artifact, although it is not under the control of Orthodox Church, but it has a formal number and is extremely high-ranking "0" level Sealed Artifact. It is formed from a copy of the characteristics of "Miracle Invoker", but is smaller than Spectator Sequence 1 Characteristic's "0-08" Quill of Alzuhod is further forward, proving that the "object" stored inside is very dangerous.
True God once tried to crush it and restore it to Beyonder Characteristic to release the things stored inside, but it failed.
Anyone who owns this magic lamp can realize any ten wishes, but according to the summary of many of its owners, only the first two wishes are safe. Once the third wish is made, it will either be fulfilled in a Distortion, evil way, or die directly in various accidents, leaving almost no chance of true satisfaction.
Before starting to attack George III's tomb, Bernadette informed his allies of the basic situation of Sealed Artifact, and was ready to use the second wish to briefly gain Sequence 1's Archangel strength.
But Anne held back the "Founder", and Angel was responsible for the battle in the main tomb. She only restrained each other with Prince Grove, who had a weak desire to fight, and had no chance or need to consume this wish.
Now I know that the knowledge in my mind has become an absolute taboo. As long as I leave the shelter of "City of Calamity", I will be watched by Outer Deity and be contaminated again. Bernadette has decided to use this wish to seal the memories in my mind and wait to learn about them safely after becoming Angel.
Without waiting for Angel and Mirror Person to respond, she reached out to the servant who had become much older under the influence of "Pale Death", and took out a golden oil lamp with a simple shape, like a thin-necked kettle. Its surface was covered with mysterious and complex symbols, and it emitted light on its own in Gray Fog, reflecting the blurred figures of several people.
"Please wait a moment."
"Wait."
Angel and Mirror Person spoke at the same time. Bernadette held the lamp in one hand and rubbed the golden surface with the other. He froze and looked over in confusion.
But her fingertips had touched the surface of "Magic Wishing Lamp", which met the conditions for Sealed Artifact to be activated.
The wick protruding from the spout of the slender Distortion ignited an invisible flame, and the subtle light it emitted spurted out like a waterfall, quickly condensing into a pale golden figure with only the upper body, vaguely similar to the servant holding "Pale Death" beside it.
The eyes on the barely recognizable face of the golden figure first looked at Bernadette, who summoned it, then swept over Angel, Mirror Person, and finally looked around, as if it had its own consciousness and was waiting for something.
Bernadette does not need an introduction, Angel can guess that this is the "Genie" of "Magic Wishing Lamp". It is the main body of this Sealed Artifact that listens to needs and fulfills wishes. It is also a powerful thing contained and sealed in the magic lamp built with the characteristics of "Miracle Invoker".
"Eternal Genie, I have no wishes that need to be fulfilled this time."
Bernadette first spoke respectfully to the golden figure as Jotun, then looked at Angel, changed to Loenese, and asked curiously:
"Why are you stopping me from making a wish? Do you have other better ways to deal with the impact of the knowledge of 'Outer Deity'?"
Angel nodded:
"When you said you wanted to use wishes to clear your memory, I did have an alternative plan. Although it is somewhat risky, if it succeeds, you can save this precious wish..."
She was about to explain further when the golden figure, which several people regarded as a "Magic Wishing Lamp" ornament, suddenly burst into laughter with a deep voice, as if coming from a giant:
"Haha, just based on her words, I can Distortion her thoughts, regard 'no wish' as a wish, and waste this opportunity."
Hey, this Sealed Artifact actually spoke?
Angel was stunned and looked at the blurry golden figure, as if he saw the shadow of Magic Mirror Arrodes from it.
Is this also a Sealed Artifact with living characteristics?
Bernadette on the side was even more surprised than her, and her expression froze.
Before this, she had actually made her first wish, and had hesitated many times to summon Genie in "Magic Wishing Lamp", but in the end she had not made up her mind to use the second wish. However, no matter which time, the golden figure just gave a mechanical answer like a machine that receives wishes. She had never spoken so "freely" before.
Even my father, who also made a wish, and the previous owner of Sealed Artifact, had no such experience!
Thinking of this, her tone became more respectful, she lowered her head and greeted with Jotun:
"Eternal Genie, thank you for your generosity and kindness, but I have no wish to be fulfilled this time, please understand."
The golden figure called "Genie" didn't care much. He didn't even respond to Bernadette. Instead, he cast his invisible gaze on Angel, and finally stopped at Mirror Person. He let out a "hum" and said in a loud voice:
"I thought the barrier had been broken, and 'City of Calamity' and other Sefirah were released, but that doesn't seem to be the case... The Sefirah here is just a phantom in the mirror, and you have not fully grasped its power... Unfortunately, this cannot break the seal and let me return to the starry sky."
Seal... return to the starry sky...Angel thought in his mind and asked in a confirmation voice like Jotun who was not very skilled:
"Are you the... powerful being sealed within the characteristics of this 'Miracle Invoker'?"
She originally wanted to describe it as "dangerous", but she always felt a little disrespectful.
"Isn't this obvious?" The golden "Genie" squinted, and Distortion's vague arms were folded in front of his chest. "If I didn't amplify the effect of this Sealed Artifact, how could it realize a wish beyond its ability level?"
"Then why don't you make a wish to free yourself from the seal?"
Angelica's Mirror Person suddenly asked.
The golden figure swayed slightly and was silent for a moment before answering in a lower voice:
"The being who sealed me has a personality similar to mine, but part of my power cannot be used in the seal..."
In short, you can't beat that guy...Angel cursed, realizing that the existence mentioned by "Genie" must have surpassed True God, and was probably a certain "Great Old One", otherwise the person before True God, who tried to crush "Magic Wishing Lamp", had already succeeded, and although "City of Calamity" was not complete, it was still beyond the power of his true body and could not lift the seal and set "Genie" free.
Therefore, "Genie", who is at a similar level to the Sealed One, should also be a certain Great Old One... In addition, he wants to return to the starry sky, and "School of Truth" is looking for the whereabouts of this lamp... His identity is almost ready to be revealed...
Angel's thoughts were spinning in his mind. He secretly glanced at Mirror Person, who was also silent, and said after considering:
"What kind of power does it take to lift your seal?"
No matter what the identity of the other party is, she plans to take this opportunity to make some lies. If "Genie" is eager to regain his freedom, it would be better if he provides some methods to lift the "Great Old One" level seal.
Maybe this will help her deepen her control over "City of Calamity".
"Unless you can completely master 'City of Calamity', you will have the power to destroy this magic lamp. And to master this Sefirah, you need to break its seal first. If you can break the seal of Sefirah, you won't be helpless against my seal... because the seal of both is the same existence."
Explaining in difficult words, "Genie" looked at the mist-shrouded "City of Calamity" under the few people, and sighed:
"Another way is to find the being who has mastered the power of 'Chaos Sea'. If he learns of my status, he should be willing to take action... But don't go looking for the owner of 'Sefirah Castle'. He is cunning and shameless, and takes pleasure in deceiving and Fooling others... Hehe, if you run into him, you might come to the lamp to keep me company soon."
Speaking of this, "Genie"'s tone was a little excited, as if recalling some unbearable past events. Distortion's facial features could hardly be seen in his original expression. After a while, he returned to normal and continued:
"Finally, if you who can partially master 'City of Calamity' can come into contact with part of the power of 'River of Eternal Darkness' that has also been leaked outside the seal... you may be able to have the ability to destroy this lamp without completely mastering Sefirah...
"No matter what, if you can lift the seal, or help in the process, I will leave with that part of my power, leaving the Beyonder Characteristic of 'Miracle Invoker', and be able to fulfill a total of three of your wishes, in a normal way against Distortion's wishes.
"This transaction is valid at any time and will be guaranteed by the power of 'Sefirah'. Even I will be severely hit if I break my promise."
After saying that, he seemed to have lost interest in everything. He looked around for the last time, and his figure suddenly shrank. The light like thick water returned to the spout of the magic lamp, and the wick went out with a pop.
After catching the "Magic Wishing Lamp" that lost its buoyancy and returned to the ordinary Golden Lamp, Bernadette was silent for a moment, handed the Sealed Artifact to the servant, and let it leave from the illusory door. Then he looked at Angel again and asked slowly:
"You seem to have some guesses about His identity?"
Very keen... Angel took a deep breath, and his thoughts flashed, making the War Fog formed around "City of Calamity" more intense, blocking any possible peeps, and then said:
"I suspect that what is sealed inside this magic lamp is one of the 'Outer Deity's outside the barrier, the incarnation and part of the power of 'Son of Chaos', and the 'Uncertain Mist' that School of Truth believes in."
"Furthermore, the one who sealed His existence is the 'Celestial Worthy' who sealed all Sefirah except 'Chaos Sea' and 'Sefirah Castle' at the same time."
Her Mirror Person opened her mouth and added.
Son of Chaos...Uncertain Mist...Bernadette chewed on these titles that only War Fog dared to think about, and felt a little enlightened:
"Is this why School of Truth wants to retrieve Magic Wishing Lamp? Part of the power of the Lord they believe in is sealed in it?"
"That's right, and judging from his state, it seems to be a large part of his power... Sealed Artifact You'd better treat this Sealed Artifact with caution and don't give him Distortion the chance to make your wish." Angel reminded, "Especially if the message Except for the memories of 'Mother Goddess of Depravity' and 'Uncertain Mist', if you turn to Him, you will almost certainly be wished by Distortion, so that His part outside the barrier will contaminate you and create conditions for Him to escape."
Speaking of this, Angel was a little scared. If she hadn't dissuaded Bernadette just now and asked her to give up using "0-05" to fulfill her wish, she who thought she had erased her memory would have left the shelter of "City of Calamity", returned to reality, and instantly became a believer in "Uncertain Mist" and "Son of Chaos".
After calming down, she returned to the topic before being interrupted by "Genie" and said in a lighter tone:
"Regarding the pollution of those forbidden knowledge, I can ask a 'Manipulator' to help eliminate the information about Outer Deity and Apocalypse in your memory, but you need to completely let go of your consciousness and mind, otherwise it will be difficult for her to affect you Sequence 3."
"Would this make her aware of all this?"
Bernadette asked.
"That's right, so she has to clear her own memory at the same time and bear corresponding risks in the process. I hope you can compensate her."
Angel nodded and took advantage of the situation to help "Justice" Miss, who had not yet arrived, strive for some benefits.
"No problem."
"Queen Mystic", who had received too much knowledge in a short period of time and was already a little confused in his head, agreed without hesitation.
In the mansion of Backlund Empress Borough, Earl Hall, Audrey, who was enjoying dinner with her parents and eldest brother, suddenly felt a chill in her chest. A Charm she placed close to her body, gifted by "Empress" Miss, became cold, as if it was automatically activated.
She found an excuse to finish the meal, returned to the bedroom, and took out the Charm, which was as transparent as ice crystals but shimmering purple inside, and found that it was emitting a faint light, and the tempting purple flashed like the eyes of "Empress".
Those are really the eyes of "Empress" Miss!
Audrey was stunned, and a sentence suddenly appeared in his mind, which was transmitted directly by Charm through "Mirror World".
After a while, she put on her outdoor cloak and took off all the Mystical Item that might affect her condition, leaving only the "Lies" that changed her appearance. She used Charm to activate the full-length mirror in the bedroom and stepped in. The deep and mysterious Mirror World, following the guidance of the power of Charm, passed through dark and narrow passages, and soon penetrated into a hazy fog. The original gray passage beside her also turned red and black, which made her feel a little palpitated.
Fortunately, the Charm in her hand always exuded a cold touch, like the hand of "Empress" Miss, leading Audrey forward, letting her know that she had not lost her way.
As the passage deepened into the fog, three figures floating in the void appeared in front of her.
One of them was wearing a white shirt embellished with lace and flowers, beige tight trousers and black leather boots. His long chestnut hair was flying in the air. His blue eyes and straight eyebrows reminded Audrey of the person "Queen Mystic" on the wanted poster.
The other two have slightly different colors and styles of clothes, but their hairstyles, faces and even eyes are exactly the same.
Two "Empress" Miss?
Audrey looked dizzy as the three people quickly approached him, and a single tone of surprise and confusion came out of his throat:
"Huh?"
But as they got closer, Audrey quickly distinguished the difference between the two "Empress".
The expression of the one wearing a long black dress embellished with lace and tassels was obviously much colder, and the eyes that fell on Audrey were only searching and vigilant; the light-colored dress on her body had traces of flames, as if the one who had just returned from the battlefield looked at her with the same gentle eyes as before, with a faint smile on her lips.
Of course, if she hadn't been "Manipulator", she probably wouldn't have been able to see the difference in these micro-expressions, and would have just indulged in the double beauty and charm.
No, it's not addiction at all, just a normal appreciation of beauty... She muttered, quickly calmed down her thoughts, looked at the real Miss Empress, tilted her head slightly and asked:
"Who wants psychotherapy?"
Knowledge Temple Underground Area of Azshara. In the dungeon where Criminal is being held awaiting his punishment, Helene has initially clarified the crimes of other prisoners and the reasons for their arrest.
Without exception, these people have all committed serious crimes such as murder, arson, and explosions. They also have indifferent moral concepts and do not think their actions are wrong. Their words are full of contempt for the Church of Knowledge and Lenburg police.
Their only regret was that they should not have come to Azshara and provoked Detective here, so they were quickly arrested and taken to Knowledge Temple to accept Judgment.
Detective... I'm afraid most of them are Church of Knowledge "Reader" Pathway Beyonder of Sequence 7 is acting, these "Knowledge Keeper" seem to be always called "Detective", there should be a need for Potion to digest...
Helene sat on the iron chair in the middle of the dungeon, staring at the criminals around him, feeling their eyes look at him and Tia from time to time, and then quickly look away. He was still a little confused in his heart.
Together with these Criminal who should have been executed long ago in other countries, can they really complete the mission of Miss Angelica?
Her doubts did not last long. The dungeon door was opened from the outside, and several clergymen in white robes walked in surrounded by an old man.
Helene As soon as he looked over there, his expression changed.
That old man was Church of Knowledge Saint who caught him before and revealed "Exile's crime" in advance.
His gray-green eyes swept over each prisoner, without stopping too much on Helene, and then said in a rich voice:
"Judgment The results are out."
This sentence made almost all the prisoners commotion. After all, in any country, there is only one result for having multiple murder cases on your body.
But under the eager gazes of the handcuffs and shackles and the other clergy, they finally walked out of the cell in a queue, followed the old man through the long passage, continued down the stone stairs, kept moving forward in an increasingly humid environment, and finally stopped in front of a double brass door.
"Are we going to be locked up and cremated? Haha, what a waste of fuel. Do you need my help to light the fire?"
A sharp and harsh voice came from the team, and Helene knew without turning his head that it was the only female prisoner besides her and Tia.
This young woman named Iris had never killed anyone, but she set fire to many libraries in Lenburg, causing a large number of books to be burned. She was eventually caught when Azshara was preparing to burn Knowledge Temple. In other countries, she might be able to avoid heavy punishment, but in Lenburg, which advocates knowledge, she can only sit at the same table with murderers.
Although the other party didn't say it, Helene knew very well that this was "Pyromaniac".
"It's a pity that there is no incinerator behind the door, and you will not be Sentenced to Death ed," the Saint was not provoked and said in a calm tone, "The Judgment result of all of you is 'Exile for life', and the destination is behind this door."
"Exile? It's not the death penalty..."
Another prisoner muttered in a low voice and quickly shut up as if he was afraid of being heard. He couldn't believe that he was so Luck.
But Helene felt that the stone in his heart had finally fallen to the ground.
It is indeed Exile. Does this door lead to the mysterious "City of Exile" Molora?
She looked around, moved her lips, and wanted to secretly recite Honorific Name of Miss Angelica, but gave up the idea under the sight of Saint, and instead asked loudly:
"What's behind the door? Underground Area without food and water? A Colosseum where we can kill each other? If that's the case, it's better to just sentence us to death."
Her doubts resonated with other prisoners, and the voices of doubts were heard endlessly. The eyes that looked at her also had a little respect, rather than the vigilance after being forced just now.
This is exactly what she wanted to achieve.
"Behind the door is a passage, leading to the land of Exile. I don't know exactly what is there, but many people who have been Exile have survived for a long time, and they are not Jedi without hope of survival."
The old man explained with a smile, his eyes stayed on Helene for a moment, and his gray-green eyes were replaced by shining rune light spots.
The prisoners surrounded by the clergy were suddenly covered by a drizzle that suddenly appeared but was only limited to a small area.
These raindrops with a wisp of black impurities fell on Helene, which immediately made her Spirituality alert, but it was not a strong warning that her life was threatened.
She also noticed that Tia, William, the "Pyromaniac" and the other two prisoners had serious expressions. The other prisoners were shouting, confused by the sudden rain above their heads, and subconsciously panicked.
"This is 'Harps's Sterilization Rain'. It does no harm to your body. It only makes people lose their fertility... This is a means to prevent innocent babies from being born in the land of Exile." Glancing at Helene again, the old man who cast Sterilization Rain through his simulation ability added, "Of course, this is reversible."
You don't need to remind me deliberately, it will make me look like a well-connected person... Helene muttered, finding that the prisoners did not resist as she imagined after the brief commotion.
Instead, after the old man pushed open the brass door and revealed the long tunnel behind, they all felt attracted to it and walked into the tunnel involuntarily. Their figures immediately disappeared into the dim tunnel. Even Tia and William took steps and followed the team in a daze.
Helene Although he also felt the strange attraction deep in the tunnel, he did not enter immediately. Instead, he looked at the old man who had been with him "from beginning to end."
The latter had deep eyes and nodded calmly.
She always felt that she was clearly arranged... She sighed in her heart again, took steps, followed the team at the end, and walked slowly into the tunnel.
At the same time, a faint and almost inaudible voice came:
"Crimson and Secrecy's Shadow..."
"Starry Sky...Outer Deity... Is this the truth about Apocalypse?"
Floating in the hazy mist, Audrey listened to the secret knowledge narrated by Angel, and his expression gradually became dull, as if he had been watched and polluted by Outer Deity.
She recalled her shock a few months ago when she heard the old man with gray-green eyes and white hair and beard talk about the "Apocalypse prophecy" after using "Creeping Hunger" Teleportation to the Southern Continent to save a Church of Knowledge Saint that was on the verge of losing control a few months ago.
But now, the sharp sword that had been hanging above her head finally fell, piercing the girl's fragile heart.
