"Magician"Lady laughed:

"Why do you care about this? You can't use it. You can only use it to forget all the memories and original feelings and become a brand new person.

"Well, in the three Pathway's of 'Corpse Collector', 'Sleepless' and 'Warrior', according to usage, Ritual and collocation, 'Samaritan Woman Spring' has different uses, including but not limited to temporarily clearing the memory, healing the essence damage of the spirit, improving the inspiration of itself and the book, becoming an important Ritual material, bringing different branches of abilities, etc., etc."

Corresponding to "Corpse Collector", "Sleepless" and "Warrior", the three adjacent Pathway? Lumian that can be converted to each other extract key information.

At this time, "Magician"Lady glanced at him and suppressed the smile on his face:

"Is there no problem?"

Lumian thought for a while and said, "No more for now."

"Magician"Lady nodded:

"Then it's my turn to ask."

"What are you asking?" Lumian was very confused.

He told all the details.

"Magician" Lady tapped his fingers on the void in front of him:

"Why don't you tell me that Miss 'Justice' asked you to go to 'Samaritan Woman Spring'?"

Lumian was stunned for a while:

"I thought she would tell you, and I thought she was also Major Arcana of 'Tarot Club'. There should be no problem in accepting her Commission. I don't need to ask you for confirmation."

"Magician" Lady showed a thoughtful expression:

"There is nothing wrong with normality, but there are always too many abnormalities in this world."

Lumian asked in confusion, "'Justice'Lady is something abnormal?"

"That's not true." "Magician" Lady shook his head, "The problem is that Earthblood Ore was lost not long after you agreed to go to 'Samaritan Woman Spring', and I don't know that you are about to go to Fourth Level of the Catacombs, and Miss 'Justice' doesn't know that Earthblood Ore has fallen into the hands of others. It's not that you don't want to take it with you, so you are sure that you won't take it with you.

"If we communicate well in advance, I can ask you to postpone it for a while until we confirm the whereabouts of Earthblood Ore, or make some arrangements."

Lumian thought carefully for a while and found that it was really what "Magician"Lady said:

Foreseeing that Earthblood Ore would bring certain encounters underground, she would not ignore the hidden connection between the two events "Earthblood Ore was lost" and "Going to Samaritan Woman Spring".

And Lumian's small negligence or what he thought was a reasonable solution was what Source encountered later.

"Magician" Lady looked at Lumian deeply for a few seconds, thought for a moment and said, "I can't blame you. There is actually no big problem with your handling. This is just to remind you to be more cautious in the future."

She paused and said meaningfully, "This will be especially true when we look for the entrance of Fourth Epoch and Trier in the future."

"Yes,'Magician'Lady." Lumian accepted the education sincerely.

When "Magician" disappeared in front of him with the bottle of spring water containing "Samaritan Woman Spring", Lumian quickly packed up Altar and sat down again.

He reviewed the Error he committed during this operation:

"First, 'Magician'Lady is right. I should inform her of 'Justice'Lady's Commission, even if they have communicated privately and the matter is not I should also ask any questions. After all, the Major Arcana that I directly report to is not 'Justice', but 'Magician'. To do things for other Major Arcanas, I have to get permission from my own Major Arcana.

"Second, before entering 'Samaritan Woman Spring', I should check my status and items and make final confirmation. Unless it is an encounter or emergency, this should become a necessary process.

"If I can remember and complete this matter, I can avoid many problems in advance and not bring Earthblood Ore into the 'Samaritan Woman Spring' area without realizing it. Monet, no, Amon appeared several times and deliberately frightened me, just to interrupt my thoughts and keep my attention on being alert to Him instead of my own state, thus ignoring the 'return' of Earthblood Ore?

"Third, I didn't notice the abnormality of Termiboros. Faced with the appearance of Monet, he remained silent. He was not as vigilant and anxious as last time. Ha, although he was sealed, he could feel the surrounding situation with the help of me. As a Angel, would he have noticed that Amon stuffed Earthblood Ore back into my pocket?

"Moreover, His Destiny and my Destiny are related. When I brought Earthblood Ore into 'Samaritan Woman Spring', my Destiny must have changed. He couldn't have noticed it, so why didn't he remind me?

"He also wanted to use the special environment of 'Samaritan Woman Spring' and the Mutation brought by Earthblood Ore to find a way to get rid of the seal? Yes, it was He who first reminded me that Earthblood Ore was special and said it would bring me an opportunity!

"That strange power ultimately failed to achieve his goal. Whose could it be?

"Evil God's Angel really can't completely believe it. Termiboros has been so reliable during this period. He reminds me from time to time. In addition to needing to avoid dangers that can affect him, Paralysis is also waiting for the opportunity to give me a knife in the back.

"Haha, you are also Hunter?

"After joining 'Samaritan Woman Spring', there was no problem with my choice. The negative effects exploded, and with all kinds of mental Corruptions superimposed, I was still able to make basic responses. It was already very difficult. Don't worry about whether it was right or wrong... If those Corruptions hadn't contradicted each other and held each other back, I might have gone crazy on the spot."

Lumian reviewed the whole thing and suddenly laughed in a low voice, "Termiboros, why didn't you notice that Monet stuffed Earthblood Ore back?"

Termiboros remained silent and did not answer.

After Lumian had probably confirmed the role of Fate and Angel in the events just now, he checked the items on his body, fearing that they would also "die".

Fortunately, the impact on inanimate objects was relatively low and there was no substantial damage. The "rust" encountered by the "Torture" gloves was not a real attack. Apart from leaving some traces, it did not affect its use.

As for the attention and dangerous creatures that wearing this pair of fists and book covers will bring, Lumian has no feeling at all, thinking that the special environment of "Samaritan Woman Spring" limits the corresponding negative effects.

After doing these things, Lumian looked around, feeling indescribable fear and disgust towards Safe House who had been entered by Amon. He always felt that there were eyes hidden in the surrounding air.

Of course, this is mainly his psychological feeling. After all, "Magician" Lady has already been here.

After getting rid of Concealment's trap in Safe House, Lumian took all his belongings and opened the door and left. He planned to never come back here again and would rather waste the rent.

Trier, in a park with green grass.

"Magician" wearing Brownish Yellow color Long Dress looked at Golden Dog who was walking on the edge of the grass, and said to Lady beside him, "I got 'Samaritan Woman Spring' back."

That One Lady is wearing a simple Long Dress with a white background and green stripes. Blond Hair is draped with moisturizing clothes and only tied up casually. Eyes is as green as a gemstone and seems to reflect the clear lake water of the trees.

She smiled slightly and said, "Did something happen? You should have asked Messenger to bring you here."

"Magician" nodded, briefly mentioned the key information of the whole matter, and finally said, "It just so happens that we haven't met each other in the past few days, so there is a lack of communication.

"This causes me to know that he lost Earthblood Ore and it was suspected that Amon had stolen the picture and book, but I didn't know that he was going to get 'Samaritan Woman Spring'. And you are just the opposite. You knew that he was going to get 'Samaritan Woman Spring', but you didn't know that Earthblood Ore was stolen."

"Justice" After listening quietly, he was silent for a few seconds, then sighed and said, "It's very similar to That One's style..."

"Is it really That One?" "Magician" frowned slightly, "Since when did He cast his gaze? You have never hidden it from Him from the beginning?"

"Justice" thought for a moment and said, "This is not a surprise. The most important thing now is what He wants to arrange."

"I don't know." "Magician" said with a self-deprecating smile, "But since the incident of 'Samaritan Woman Spring' has already happened, then I can foresee..."

Having said this, she walked into the void surrounded by stars and sighed, "It won't be long before the door to Fourth Epoch Trier will really open."

Outside an abandoned Ancient Castle.

The figure of "Justice" appeared at the door, holding the Golden Vial containing "Samaritan Woman Spring" in his hand.

In front of her, the dark and illusory sea emerged. She stepped into it and arrived at a special dreamland.

In Dream, the layer-by-layer black Mausoleum that looks like an inversion is not only missing a part, but also cracked in half. There are many deep cracks on the surface, and oily yellow feathers and various things symbolizing death are scattered everywhere.

"Justice" floated in mid-air and tipped over Golden Vial in his hand.

Under her guidance, part of the spring water of "Samaritan Woman Spring" turned into rainwater of Gloom, gently falling to the earth.

All traces of damage were further healed, and Mausoleum, which was divided into two halves, gradually moved closer together.

Among such Change, "Justice" put away Golden Vial, looked at the remaining "Samaritan Woman Spring", and said silently to himself, "Just two more times should be enough."

On the second floor of Breeze Ballroom, it belongs to the bedroom of Lumian.

After sleeping, he raised his right palm and found that the bright red scar had faded a lot and was closer to the mark left after squeezing.

"It won't attract anyone's attention this way." Lumian breathed a sigh of relief.

His original plan was to use the white Bandage Entanglement right palm so that Boss and the others would not spot the problem at a glance.

Now, Lumian thought about it and wrapped Bandage around his left palm, which had no abnormality.

After doing this, he was looking forward to the reward mentioned by "Justice"Lady, but he didn't know when it would be delivered.

He believed that he wouldn't be able to wait for a few days.

Suddenly, Lumian turned around suddenly and looked at the window facing the alley behind.

Bang bang bang!

The glass there was banged.
