The Weather Warlock's ritual

Remembering the information from the "Book of Post-Apocalypse," Lumian decided to pretend he hadn't seen the Prophecy currently being displayed.

Regardless, things will proceed at our own pace from now on!

Just then, the "Book of Post-Apocalypse" turned another page, revealing new content:

"I see, Lumian Lee has gone mad."

These Mercury-Colored characters are written in Ancient Hermetic.

Lumian raised an eyebrow, snapped the ancient Sheepskin- bound book shut, and pressed it down firmly.

He then looked towards the head of the Bronze Long Table:

"Mr. The Fool, how can I seal the ' Book of Post-Apocalypse '? Can you provide assistance?"

The Fool, shrouded in Grayish-White Fog, beckoned, and Lumian's "Traveler's Bag," left behind on the battlefield, flew out from behind the giant stone chair and toward its master.

After Lumian reached out and took it, he discovered that a vast space, large enough to hold an entire city, had been partitioned off inside the "Traveler’s Bag".

In the center of this space, there was also an ordinary twenty-sided die.

I thought the materials used in this "Traveler's Bag" wouldn't be able to support the city-level space required to seal the "Book of Post-Apocalypse," and that it would need to be custom-made... Did Mr. "The Fool" remake it? Lumian placed his hand on his chest and bowed slightly:

"Thank you, Mr. The Fool."

When he raised his head, he found that the Beyonder Characteristic originating from Ohaiz had been shattered and reassembled into one Beyonder Characteristic with only Sequence 4 "Mysticism Scholar" and two Beyonder Characteristic with Sequence 5 "Astrologer", both of which were simply sealed away.

Upon seeing this, the "Hermit" Lady diagonally opposite immediately said, "I will provide the Potion Formula for the ' Mysticism Scholar ' and the ' Astrologer '."

The "Magician" Lady sighed, then said, "I will offer a drop of blood from a Mythical Creature."

What comprehensive service! They've gone to great lengths to help the "professors" advance a Sequence, and the rewards for the mission are truly generous... Lumian expressed his gratitude on behalf of the members of the "Curly-Haired Baboon Research Society."

He then began to ponder the "Weather Warlock" Potion Formula Mr. "The Fool" had just gifted him:

Name: Weather Warlock;

Sequence:2;

Main Ingredient: Weather Giant's Skull, Cloud-Mist Jellyfish's core;

"Auxiliary Ingredient: 30 ml of blood from each of three Seer died in different extreme weather conditions, 500 hairs from the Weather Giant, five crystals of the Cloud-Mist Jellyfish, a branch from a tree struck by lightning, and 20 ml of water from the first snowfall of the year in a certain region."

Promotion Ritual: Forcibly changing the weather in a region in a very short period of time without relying on external assistance.

Note: After the Fourth Epoch, both the Weather Giant and the Cloud-Mist Jellyfish ceased to exist.

In other words, "Weather Warlock" all exist in the form of Angel or Sealed Artifact? Lumian was not surprised by this.

"Hunter" are Pathway of warfare, and it is difficult for magical creatures or extraordinary species to completely Concealment themselves, which will likely cause conflict and Calamity, making them easy to notice.

Moreover, after the battles of the previous four eras, even if there are still magical creatures corresponding to "Weather Warlock," they should be true Subordinate God, that is, Angel, with complete Beyonder Characteristic.

Lumian then focused his attention on the Ritual:

"Without external forces, this Ritual is quite difficult. It would require a region like the Trier District. Even with the ' Witch of Unaging's' Frost abilities, it would take a considerable amount of time to influence Trier City, and no one could interfere..."

"It's very simple if you rely on external forces..."

"Is the core of this Ritual to allow me to grasp the Mystery of weather Change, to leverage small forces to influence large-scale changes? Like Hurricane at sea, it doesn't start out so terrifying, it's just a cyclone, then it gradually intensifies, slowly sweeping across a Sea Area and then over various regions..."

"That's a possibility, but it doesn't meet the requirement of a very short timeframe, so I'll need to accelerate it myself?"

"Ah, more studying. In the parlance of the Dream City, those who lead wars must be knowledgeable in everything from astronomy to geography..."

"Actually, there are ways to cheat this Ritual. For example, the Sequence 3 of the ' Sailor ' Pathway is called ' Sea King,' which can completely change the weather of a region, causing a massive Torrential Rain. In this case, if I kill him, wouldn't the weather change? This doesn't rely on any external force; no one helps me... Well, you can't use items during combat, otherwise it would also be considered borrowing external force..."

"Heh, there is indeed a hidden shortcut to becoming a ' Hunter ': hunting, fighting, war..."

While Lumian the Chariot was pondering, Mr. The Fool answered several questions from the Major Arcana, including those from Lady. Hermit.

Lumian thought for a moment and said, "' The Fool,' why was ' Hidden Sage ' brought to life by ' Great Mother '?"

This isn't to say that the "Great Mother" looks down on the "Hidden Sage," but rather, how did she manage to do that?

--From the Mysticism knowledge taught by the "Magician" Lady, it can be deduced that during the Fourth Epoch Age, the world's Barrier against Evil God were still very strong.

"The Fool" said calmly, "The problem lies in the Western Continent."

The Western Continent Western Continent? Isn't there another layer of Celestial Worthy Seal beyond the Barrier? Before Lumian Future voice his question, "The Fool" continued, "' The Hidden Sage ' refers to That One being as ' Great Mother,' not Her true Honorific Name."

What does that mean? Yes, someone at the level of a "Hidden Sage" is certainly qualified to know the full Honorific Name of the "Great Mother" and is not afraid of being deeply Corruption. Why would He use a pseudonym? It can't be because He's afraid of influencing Mr. "The Fool," can it? Lumian felt that there was very important information hidden in Mr. "The Fool's " words, but he couldn't decipher it.

Without offering further explanation, Mr. The Fool nodded slightly and said, "This gathering is now concluded."

"Your will is our will." Major Arcana present stood up simultaneously.

Inside that Luxury Villa in Trier.

Seeing Lumian walk down the stairs and into the Living Room, Franca asked curiously, "How was it?"

Although her main task was to contact, persuade, and protect key personnel, and her contributions were not significant, this did not prevent her from being interested in the spoils of the God War and its specific distribution.

Lumian explained everything he could, and finally asked, "Do you want to exchange for a Level 1 Sealed Artifact?"

"Of course we should exchange them!" Franca said without hesitation. "Even if we only keep a third of those Low-Sequence Beyonder Characteristic and Mystical Item, it will be enough for us to develop our followers in the Trier District Subordinate, maintain our faith, and even have some to spare!"

She was too embarrassed to say "spread the faith" because in the Trier District, even the Church of the Fool could not actively spread the faith; it belonged to the Church the "Eternal Blazing Sun" and the Church of the "God of Steam and Machinery".

Franca's plan was to focus on finding and cracking down on Concealment cults, and to recruit the remaining believers to her side, Lumian, and the Future Jenna's side.

"Which one should we change into?" Lumian asked his two companions.

Franca and Jenna exchanged glances.

Jenna carefully considered her words and said, "' Witch ' are inherently more adept at Mysticism. Choosing Sealed Artifact formed from the Beyonder Characteristic of a ' Mysticism Scholar ' or ' Prophecy Master ' wouldn't be enough to compensate for weaknesses or enhance strengths. As for Prophecy, we have spiritual intuition, ' Magic Mirror Divination,' and ' Book of Post-Apocalypse,' so it's not in such urgent need."

"Yes," Franca agreed. "If they are living ' Mysticism Scholar ' or ' Prophecy Master,' I can tell them Ancient God and Concealment knowledge. As long as some of it is true, I can help them create powerful Fairy Tale Magic or mythological magic. But Sealed Artifact are different. Sealed Artifact don't listen to me or accept my teachings. The magical effects they produce will only be fixed to their original ones."

Franca hesitated for a moment and then said, "Of the remaining two, I prefer the ' Coffin Bearer '."

"Just from the name, you can tell that this must have the power of the Death Domain. It can make up for the weaknesses of me and Jenna, which are that our single attacks are not fatal enough and the burst damage is not high, except for Curse and ' Full-Force Strike strikes'. Moreover, this belongs to the ' Planter ' Pathway, so it must have healing abilities. It can be used to respond to believers and drive away illness. Hmm, with its assistance, my progress in creating Mysticism Pathogens will be greatly accelerated."

"The problem is that this is a Divinity item from the ' Planter ' Pathway."

The "Planter" Pathway is also known as the "Earth" Pathway or the "Mother" Pathway.

Franca looked at Lumian:

"Mr. ' The Fool ' said you need to stay away from your mother. Didn't you always tell Lugano to avoid contacting you as much as possible, and that contact was only through prayer? Well, it's not that you need to stay away, it's that Calamity needs to stay away from your mother. Jenna and I are also Pathway of Calamity."

Lumian thought for a moment and said, "Since Mr. ' The Fool ' didn't say that this Sealed Artifact can't be chosen, then there shouldn't be any major problems..."

"Therefore, when you pray to Mr. ' The Fool ' and express your willingness to exchange one-third of your Low-Sequence Beyonder Characteristic and Mystical Item for a 'Level 1' Sealed Artifact, directly ask the Beyonder of the two Pathway of Calamity if they can choose the Sealed Artifact corresponding to ' Coffin Bearer '."

"If that doesn't work, then I'll have to choose ' Mystery Scholar '..." Franca's eyes gradually lit up. "That should work too. It's Sequence 3 of the ' Generalist ' Pathway. I can search for the ' Doctor ' Beyonder Characteristic, conjure up a Fully Automatic Healing Machine to help me respond to those prayers for relief from illness, with my mirror self handling the allocation. And maybe in the future, I can even pilot a Gundam..."

Having confirmed this, Lumian was about to have one of Jenna and Franca pray to Mr. "The Fool" when Franca stood up, beaming, and said, "It's time to give the 'Professor' and the others their Spoils of War!"

It's better to be happy together than to be happy alone!

"Professor" and the others had already been taken back to Trier by Franca. They are currently gathered in a villa with a garden that "Hella" rented, as instructed. Their families and the Warlock from the "Curly-Haired Baboon Research Society" who were summoned earlier are all here.

Upon seeing the "Sleeve Sword" and the Hood, masked "Muggle" emerge from the mirror, the "Professor," the "Periodic Table," and the "Prototype," who were resting in the Living Room, simultaneously stood up:

When can we go home?

Before they could finish speaking, they suddenly saw three items floating in front of "Muggle" and "Sleeve Sword":

One piece is an ethereal, eye-shaped gemstone with a restrained radiance and a somber aura, as if a gaze were peering out from within to scrutinize everything. The other two pieces are adorned with numerous dazzling, somewhat illusory, spherical Crystal.

The professor and the others froze in shock.
