Tracking Down

Lumian stopped and turned his gaze to the president of the "Curly-Haired Baboon Research Society" That One was wearing a Flax Robe.

The near- Giant Gandalf, without the aid of mechanical creations or Mysticism means, made his voice echo throughout the entire Ancient Palace:

"I just chatted with ' Isotope ' for a while, and I think there's an issue that deserves our attention."

He mentioned that since advancing to Sequence 6, he has encountered Beyonder and become involved in Paranormal Event more frequently than ever before.

"This is very consistent with my rough impressions over the past few years. As you know, I like to chat with each member and ask about the additional Change brought about by supernatural powers. And I myself have gone further and have a deeper understanding of the Divine Pathway than most people."

"I've said all this to convey a conclusion:"

"With almost no exceptions, as the Sequence advances, the frequency of Mysticism events occurring around the Beyonder increases significantly. This phenomenon is not obvious at Sequence 9, but starting from Sequence 7 or Sequence 6, even people who don't usually pay much attention to this aspect will have a more intuitive feeling that they always encounter Paranormal Event."

"To give a rough example using numbers, let's say the number of Paranormal Event or other Beyonder encountered each quarter in Sequence 9 is 1. This is easily masked by the Occult Gathering and small-circle activities one participates in, making it impossible to truly experience. In Sequence 8, it's 2, and in Sequence 7, it might soar to 5 or 6. That is to say, one or two Paranormal Event or previously unknown Beyonder will be encountered each month."

"What are your thoughts or speculations about this phenomenon? Can you find a reason for it? Perhaps it contains some basic principles of Mysticism."

Lumian listened, somewhat lost in thought:

Isn't this the "Convergence Law of Beyonder Characteristics"?

This Transmigrator, codenamed "Gandalf," was truly a researcher with keen insight into subtle Change, even discovering some external manifestations of the "Convergence Law of Beyonder Characteristics"!

He was the one who suggested that advancing to Sequence 9 and Sequence 8 in recent years has become easier than in the Past, and that it's even possible to directly absorb Beyonder Characteristic. He also provided a fairly precise picture of the Change in risk.

"A research-oriented talent..." Lumian remarked, using Aurora's habitual phrase.

For someone like him, who has Evil God Angel or angel imprisoned within him, and also possesses Deity seals and aura, the manifestation of the "Convergence Law of Beyonder Characteristics" is so strong that it cannot be ignored. Even a fool would realize that there must be something wrong with him.

What do you mean by one or two Paranormal Event per month?

Weekly!

Including the Beyonder I've encountered, it's practically every day!

But sometimes, Lumian felt that the "Convergence Law of Beyonder Characteristics" had not yet played its due role. Only when he could attract the members of the "Sinners" organization and the family of Roche Louise Sanson to Market Avenue and have a chance encounter with them would he be considered qualified.

Perhaps the power of the Gift was not as strong as the Aggregation ability of Beyonder Characteristic, or perhaps Termiboros was sealed away, reducing its influence; in any case, his Wish was never fulfilled.

As the person who attended the party in place of her Older Sister, adhering to the principle of not being high-profile, Lumian did not go directly to "Gandalf's " side to sell the "Convergence Law of Beyonder Characteristics" for a good price.

He glanced around casually and noticed that both Lady. Hella Franca Sleeve Sword silent, listening to the members of the "Curly-Haired Baboon Research Society" discussing the phenomenon.

Lumian knew perfectly well that Franca had mastered the "Convergence Law of Beyonder Characteristics," and given the extent of Hella's Concealment knowledge displayed during her exploration of the "Samaritan Woman Spring," she should have noticed similar phenomena as well.

They didn't use the Vocabulary "Aggregation," perhaps for different reasons. For Franca, as long as she wasn't pursuing opening the door to Divinity, the "Convergence Law of Beyonder Characteristics" wasn't something she needed to know immediately. Knowing the corresponding phenomena and how to avoid risks was enough. The specific details could be sold at the gathering when she needed money and obtained the consent of the "Judgement" Lady.

As the different groups engaged in heated discussions on the issues raised by the "President" and "Gandalf the Book," Lumian walked toward the "Academy" group.

On the way, he saw "Sleeve Sword" Franca coming towards him.

"' Muggle '? You finally came to the party again! I was really worried something might happen!" Franca's behavior was a little exaggerated, but still within reasonable limits. After all, in the eyes of all the members of the "Curly-Haired Baboon Research Society," she was someone with rich expressions and emotions, who liked to communicate and try new things.

Lumian pursed his lips and smiled slightly, "Something did happen, but it was resolved very well."

"You have such good composure; you didn't even overreact when the Calamity in Cordou Village was mentioned..." Franca stared at the lower half of the "Muggle's " face, which wasn't masked, and asked without hiding her "curiosity," "What is it?"

"A Mysticism Calamity." Lumian displayed a resistant attitude.

Franca, knowing when to stop, smiled and started chatting about other things.

"I was just in the ' April Fool's Day ' group, and ' Loki ' said he discovered another ancient Transmigrator, called something like ' Ancient Sun God '." Lumian brought up his conversation with "April Fool's Day," adding, "' Madwoman,' ' Hisoka,' ' Wandering Poet,' and ' Ultraman ' weren't too convinced."

"Madwoman," "Hisoka," "Wandering Poet," "Ultraman"... Franca and Lumian already had a good understanding of each other and immediately understood what their companion was trying to say. They noted down the four "April Fool's Day" group members that they thought were problematic.

Including "Loki" and "I Have a Friend," who were considered suspects in previous discussions, there are a total of six people.

"Really? Besides Emperor Roselle, there were other ancient Transmigrator?" Franca asked excitedly.

This wasn't feigned; she genuinely had a strong interest in Transmigrator from ancient times.

She took the opportunity to say goodbye to the "Muggle" and headed towards the gap in the Palace where the "April Fool's Day" group was located.

Lumian then returned to the "Academy" group, listening to "Professor," "Isotope," and "Peter Pettigrew" discuss the Mysticism events they had encountered.

This gathering is limited to two hours, but you can leave at any time. Just recite the Incantation you used when you entered, and change the last line to "Please let me leave your kingdom," and you can return to where you were.

Many members of the "Curly-Haired Baboon Research Society" do indeed leave early after achieving their transaction goals and discussing the issues they care about, to avoid any unexpected events in reality, but more people choose to stay.

For them, communicating with people who share a common background and who don't need to constantly worry about their secrets being inadvertently revealed is a very pleasant experience. Even if the conversation ends up being about trivial topics, they can still gain positive emotions and find relief for their mental and psychological state.

Lumian believed his Older Sister was also very relaxed at similar gatherings, so, partly to pretend and not to show any difference, and partly to enjoy the atmosphere on Aurora's behalf, he patiently stayed until the very end with the book.

He vaguely sensed that his emotions had become more delicate and he was more easily moved, as if Soul Fragments of Aurora's soul had surfaced and were affecting his mind.

At the end of the gathering, the "Professor," wearing a bow tie and shirt, looked at Lumian and asked, "' Muggle,' do you still live in the South?"

Uh, not referring to any specific country... but knowing that Aurora was in Intis? Lumian's mind raced, and he frankly replied, "No, I've moved to the Trier District."

The professor's lips curved into a clear smile:

"The ' Associate Professor ' and I have also moved to Trier. How about we have an in-person get-together?"

"I'm also in the Trier District," "Peter Pettigrew" said enthusiastically, with "Periodic Table" and "Isotope" nodding in agreement.

Offline gathering... Aurora used to occasionally go out for a few days. Was she meeting up with "Professor" and the others in person? Hmm, different circles have different styles. Franca and the others are in a "Telegram group," while the "Academy" people meet in person in different regions? Lumian thought for a moment and said, "Next time, after I've taken care of some things."

He deliberately mentioned some things about himself, hoping that they would reach the ears of the suspected April Fool's Day crew members, such as "Loki" and "Madwoman".

"Okay." The "professor" and the others understood, after all, the "Muggle" had previously admitted that he had encountered some unexpected events.

"Transcendent being from ancient times, Ruler of the Night Kingdom, exalted Mother of Heaven, please allow me to leave your realm."

As the Incantation was repeated, the figures inside the Ancient Palace were erased one after another.

When Lumian regained consciousness, he found himself back in the Safe House on Nightingale Street.

"How amazing... Compared to Mr. K's Occult Gathering, it's like putting my Safe House on the same level as Emperor Roselle's summer palace—they're not even in the same league, the difference is huge..." Lumian sighed as he transformed back to his original form.

He didn't rush to Lady to "Magician" to report "Armored Wraith's " reply or inquire about "Ancient Sun God's" situation. As soon as he changed his clothes, he went straight to No. 3 White Coat Street and knocked on the door of Apartment 601.

Jenna went to visit her brother and won't be back until tomorrow morning, while Franca sat in her Armchair muttering to herself, as if she were cursing someone.

"What's wrong?" Lumian on the Long Sofa.

"That bastard Loki, I wanted to buy a copy of his information, but he said others could use gold, but I couldn't," Franca replied irritably. "He said he wanted to try what it's like to be Witch. Damn, why doesn't he just drink Potion and become a ' Witch ' himself? After I yelled at him, he said he was just joking and sold me an ancient document."

At this point, Franca laughed:

"Although the special barrier of the meeting place makes it impossible to trace who these items belonged to or where they were located, the essential attributes of the items cannot be concealed. Specifically, these copies of documents contain information such as the type of Paper, the Factory from which they came, the model of the Mechanical Typewriter or printing press that produced the Vocabulary, and its approximate location. This information can provide some clues that might help us find the real-life ' Loki,' provided, of course, that he hasn't performed Anti-Divination or engaged in any misleading or concealment."

As she spoke, Franca took out Mirror, preparing for her "Magic Mirror Divination."

Soon, she finished reciting the Incantation and saw the mirror turn Gloom, with the faint sound of water coming from it.

"Where is the Mechanical Typewriter used for this document?" Franca asked thoughtfully, holding a copy of the document she had bought from "Loki".

Inside the Mirror, an aged voice rose amidst the clattering noise:

"Trier, ' Alone ' Bar."
