Scars

As time goes by, Lumian feels that his body temperature is slowly passing away. Even if the Sunlight outside the Public Carriage window is burning, it cannot stop this Change.

His thinking became less and less active, and the skin on the back of his hands became more and more Paleness.

Finally, Lumian persisted until Market District.

When he jumped off Public Carriage, his hands and feet seemed to become a little stiff.

As soon as he turned into White Coat Street, a gentleman who came towards him was suddenly startled and let out a low voice with fear in his eyes.

Lumian subconsciously looked to the side and looked at himself reflected in Café Glass Window.

Her blond and black hair seemed to have not been washed for many days, her face was so pale that it turned blue, there were purple-red patches and traces of decay on her neck, and her eyes were cold and hollow, like a corpse that had been dead for many days.

Lumian smiled at gentleman That One and said, "How about it, am I pretending to be Living Corpse very realistically?"

He heard his voice getting closer to the coldness of "Hella".

The gentleman cursed silently and walked around the guy who seemed to be preparing to participate in Masquerade.

Lumian understood that the Corruption in him was getting more and more serious, so he quickened his pace and ran into the Safe House that had not yet been rented out in an uncoordinated manner.

He quickly arranged Altar, spread out Paper, and wrote a short letter to "Magician" Lady:

"I completed Commission of 'Justice' Lady and got the spring water of 'Samaritan Woman Spring', but I also suffered from Corruption, which is getting worse and worse. How to clear it?"

After neatly folding the letter paper, Lumian summoned "Magician" Lady's Messenger.

That One"Doll"Messenger appeared above the blue candlelight, looking at Lumian, and nodded approvingly:

"I like your current temperament very much, except that your hair is too greasy."

Do you have a dying temperament? Lumian Even the urge to mutter is much less than before.

After watching "Doll"Messenger leave, he set a waiting limit of fifteen minutes for himself. After this time, "Magician" If Lady has not replied yet, he will have to find another way to deal with the Corruption in him, for example, hold a Ritual and pray directly to Mr. "The Fool".

Click, click, the hands of the pocket watch "borrowed" from Breeze Ballroom were beating normally according to a fixed rhythm, but Lumian had discovered before that it was nearly ten minutes behind the normal time, as if the closer it was to "Samaritan Woman Spring", the slower it beat.

Suddenly, pieces of starlight flew out of the void and instantly condensed into a mysterious and dreamy door.

The door opened, and "Magician" Lady wearing Brownish Yellow color Long Dress came out. Behind the door was deep darkness, dotted with Starlight.

The Major Arcana holder of "Tarot Club" glanced at Lumian, nodded slightly and said, "Pray to Mr. 'The Fool' for the purification of Angel."

Do we still have to pray to Mr. "The Fool"? Lumian didn't ask any more questions, just took the arranged Altar and started Ritual.

Light Candle in the correct order, drop in Hydrosol, Burning After Herbs, he took a step back, looked at the candlelight, and recited in a deep voice. "The Fool who does not belong to this era, Above the Gray Fog's mysterious Ruler, King of Yellow and Black who is in charge of good luck...

"I pray to you;

"I pray that you will purify me of Corruption..."

When Ritual was completed, Lumian once again saw Angel condensed with the light of That One, once again covered in layers by twelve pairs of wings of light.

With only light remaining in his eyes, he felt the coldness evaporating from his body, and his body temperature quickly recovered.

Not long after, Angel returned, and Lumian turned his attention to Full-Length Mirror in the room. He found that his face, hair, and eyes had completely recovered, and the purple-red corpse spots had completely disappeared. Only a few traces of decay remained, but there were no signs of deterioration. This seemed to take time to heal.

Lumian sincerely thanks Mr. "The Fool" and ends Ritual.

He was about to turn to "Magician" Lady when he suddenly remembered something and quickly raised his right hand and looked at the palm of his hand.

Earthblood Ore The corroded wounds are still there. Although they are not as bright red as when they first blended into the "rust", they are not dim either, just like a few scars have been dotted there with blood.

Feeling the faint madness and violence coming from his right palm, Lumian frowned in confusion and said, "Can't this be purified?"

"Magician"Lady stared at his right palm for a few seconds and did not answer directly. Instead, he said, "Tell me the details."

She took the initiative to pull up a chair and sit down, without any intention of standing to communicate.

Lumian then sat on the chair in front of Wooden Table, starting from "Justice" Lady's Commission, until he and "Hella" each took one-third of the bottle of spring water from "Samaritan Woman Spring".

Here, he focused on describing the crazy and terrifying giant figure and the strange power that pulled the opponent back. At the same time, he did not forget to mention the appearance of Monet and his various behaviors, as well as the "return" of Earthblood Ore.

"Magician"Lady listened quietly and laughed:

"It is too difficult for a real big shot to die completely. Even if there is no Beyonder Characteristic, no body, no soul, there are still Mental Brand, Death Imprint, residual breath and other things. Once the conditions are met, you may be able to return to the real world with the help of a suitable body."

"Like Original Creator?" Lumian probably understood what "Magician" Lady wanted to express, and asked after careful consideration, "Who is that big shot?"

"Magician"Lady thought for a while and said, "It should be Fourth Epoch That One'Blood Emperor', Alista·Tudor."

"Blood Emperor"? "Blood Emperor"? Lumian, one of the Four Emperors, heard this title and name from Gardner·Martin.

The empire established by Alista·Tudor includes today's Intis, and the Trier that sank into Underground is his capital.

According to Gardner·Martin, this "Blood Emperor" is the real Deity, who controls "Hunter" Pathway. In other words, he is Sequence 0 "Red Priest"!

"Yes." "Magician" Lady nodded, "'War of the Four Emperors' is a true battle of gods. Alista·Tudor fell to Fourth Epoch that Trier, letting the capital of the empire sink. Underground, and He who was already crazy did a lot of things. It is said that he almost let all Deity who participated in the war be buried with Him. To this day, there are still many remnants of that war underground in Trier. It can even be said that they profoundly affected part of Fifth Epoch's history."

Fifth Epoch is the era in which Lumian and others lived, which is called the "Black Iron Age".

Almost all Deity who participated in the war were buried with him? "Blood Emperor" is really crazy... Lumian was curious when he heard:

"What exactly is 'War of the Four Emperors'?"

"I'm not sure either.""Magician"Lady spread his hands, "I just heard a few words from two people who have personally experienced 'War of the Four Emperors'. In fact, they don't understand the whole picture. After all, you can't look directly at God. Remember, you can't look directly at God, even if it's just Sequence 4 Saint Loss of Control became incomplete Mythical Creature."

Are there any beings who have personally experienced "War of the Four Emperors" who are still alive today? They were able to participate in that divine battle, at least Angel... the two Angel next to Mr. "The Fool"? Well, Holy Scripture mentioned in the article that Mr. "The Fool"'s "Angel of Time" is Angel from the ancient times. He is one of them? Lumian tried to make a guess based on the information he had.

He heard Aurora mention the concept Mythical Creature and the corresponding questions, and he had no doubts about the sentence "Don't look directly at God".

Lumian asked enthusiastically, "After 'Blood Emperor' fell, are there still Mental Brand, Death Imprint or residual aura sealed in the spring of 'Samaritan Woman Spring'?"

"That should be Death Imprint, but I think it's also mixed with Mental Brand, residual scent, and even some Remnant Spirit that were retained for some reason. Otherwise, 'Blood Emperor'Alista·Tudor can't still be fighting with people in that spring. Haha, fighting can be regarded as a characteristic of 'Hunter'." "Magician" Lady said his speculation.

As she spoke, she put her hand into the void, and the front end disappeared into Lumian's eyes.

After groping for a few times, the Lady took out a cup of light Red Wine with an attractive color.

"You, didn't Older Sister teach you? When you have guests, remember to ask them if they want tea or wine, and if they want snacks." "Magician" Lady took a sip of the light red wine and shook his head.

How could I remember at this time? Where did she get her wine from? Lumian Then I realized that I had forgotten to ask the most important thing.

He accepted the teaching sincerely and asked other questions first:

"Where did the strange power that dragged 'Blood Emperor' back to the spring come from?"

"I don't know." "Magician" Lady answered very simply, "Even True God may not know. The only thing that is certain is that it has nothing to do with 'War of the Four Emperors'."

Lumian suppressed this matter for the time being, raised his right hand and said, "What on earth are these traces? Can't even Mr. 'The Fool' purify them?"

"This is not considered pollution, how can it be purified?" "The Magician and the Picture Book" said the lady, taking a slow sip of light red wine, "This is equivalent to a magical item embedded in your hand, which will bring some negative effects, and the negative effects cannot be purified unless you remove the item itself."

"Mystical Item... What does it do and what are the hidden dangers?" Lumian didn't expect to hear such an answer.

"It has no effect.""Magician"Lady laughed, "I said equivalent, but it does not mean equal. Of course, it is not completely useless, but it can't make you stronger directly. Rumor has it that Underground Fourth Epoch Trier Inside, in other Concealment places, there are multiple treasures left by 'Blood Emperor' Alista·Tudor. Only people with the blood of the Tudor family can open them, and now, you can also open them."

Is it equivalent to having some Tudor blood and breath in my palm that does not involve extraordinary power? Lumian tried to extend his spirit to the bright red scars on his right palm.

As soon as the two came into contact, his whole body was suddenly enveloped in a crazy, violent, terrifying, and superior aura, and the entire room and even the entire Apartment shook uncontrollably.
