Because "The Hanged Man" was there, there was no need to worry about being attacked by "Armored Wraith", so Lumian did not summon in the name of Mr. "The Fool", but followed the simplest process, arranged "Spirit Wall", and summoned "Armored Wraith" in the same way as Messenger.

In front of the swollen green candlelight, the blurry Shadows, wearing a fish-scale Pitch-Black armor stained with a lot of Golden, stood quietly in the air.

The miniature faces on the scales were twisted ferociously, screaming silently, unabashedly displaying their own pain, turning them into hatred and malice towards all living creatures around them.

"The Hanged Man" Alger, who was dressed as Sailor, took a step forward, and suddenly there were tiny Silver-White Lightning popping out one after another in "Spirit Wall".

They disappeared in an instant, and then regenerated out of thin air, making the hairs on Lumian and Franka's bodies stand up and feel numb.

In the extreme depression before the arrival of Thunderstorm, the countless transparent faces on "Armored Wraith" returned to silence, but the sight full of hatred still existed.

Lumian glanced at the six gold bars placed on Altar, calmed down, and said in Hermetic: "I present Sacrifice, please answer my three questions."

The blurry faces on the surface of "Armored Wraith" simultaneously turned to the gold that exuded an alluring light, conveying the idea of "yes" to Lumian.

Lumian then nodded to "The Hanged Man".

"The Hanged Man" thought about it briefly and asked the first question:

"Who are you?"

Lumian repeats this question using Hermetic - as his Contract Creature. In this case, "Armored Wraith" will only communicate with him.

After a short silence, "Armored Wraith" once again spoke a language that only Franca could barely understand:

"Celestial Master Investiture, the god of ghosts, my name is Chen Tu."

Celestial Master...Franca thought for a few seconds, and quickly considered the words: "His surname is Chen, his first name is Tu, he is Deity of Daoism leader Investiture, and he is responsible for guarding Evil Spirit."

"What is Daoism?" "The Hanged Man" asked thoughtfully.

"What is Investiture?" Lumian turned his head to look at Franca and asked Intis language instead.

In his opinion, since it is called Sect, no matter what the prefix is, it is not essentially different from "The Fool" Church, "Eternal Blazing Sun" Church.

Franca showed a troubled expression:

"These two questions are a long story. Let's discuss them later. I'm afraid 'Armored Wraith' won't be able to wait that long."

Also...Lumian set his sights on Mr. "The Hanged Man".

"The Hanged Man" pondered briefly and asked the second question.

Lumian translated it into Hermetic:

"Is there anything strange about the ocean to the east?"

"Armored Wraith" replied in a low and majestic voice, "Eastern Sea has Immortal Mountain, which was lost in ancient times. Its name is Penglai."

Penglai... It's really my hometown...Franca felt happy, and the speed of translation became much faster:

"There is a Mountain Peak on the eastern ocean that is inhabited by various powerful Warlock and special Deity. It has disappeared in very ancient times, and its name is 'Penglai'."

This passage is quite easy to understand. No matter whether it is Lumian or "The Hanged Man", no doubts are raised.

After a few seconds, "The Hanged Man"Alger asked slowly, "What Mutation has been in the eastern ocean in recent years?"

In recent years? "Armored Wraith" was suspected of being killed by That One and "Underworld Daoist", detained by his side, and brought "Yellow Springs" with him, and "Underworld Daoist" sacrificed his life in Heying It must have been a thousand or two thousand years ago, when "Blood Emperor" had just fallen or not long ago. How could he know what happened outside in recent years? Franca muttered in confusion, but did not dare to correct Mr. "The Hanged Man".

After Lumian repeated it, "Armored Wraith" replied coldly and sinisterly, "Corpse originated from Penglai floated on the river..."

Franca was stunned for a while, and blurted out. "The mountain called Penglai appeared again. There was a powerful Warlock or special Deity living on it who died. Corpse drifted there, maybe it was 'River of the Underworld' place! That is, the river where 'Blood Emperor' Alista·Tudor was suppressed by 'Underworld Daoist', the Source of 'Samaritan Woman Spring'!"

It means that Mutation has happened in the eastern ocean of the world where "Armored Wraith" is located in recent years. The long-lost sacred mountain Penglai has reappeared, and there is a powerful living there. Beyonder died? Has the mountain named Penglai always stood in the Eastern Sea, or does it only appear occasionally? Lumian really wanted to ask, but according to the rules similar to summoning, he could not ask any more questions.

The six gold bars placed on Altar then disintegrated and turned into little bits of pure light, blending into the surface of the fish-scale armor with Pitch-Black as the base.

This time, nearly one-fifth of the nails were stained with Golden and became sacred.

"The Hanged Man" watched "Armored Wraith" disappear into the dim green candlelight. He didn't speak for a long time and didn't know what he was thinking.

Lumian finished Ritual, quickly packed up Altar, and turned to Franca: "You can explain the terms in the first answer."

This is http://m. hetu. com trying to make things difficult for me! After Franca complained silently, he thought about it and said, "Investiture is equivalent to, Gift, yes, Gift!"

"This 'Armored Wraith' named Chen Tu was awarded a position within Church or Deity Kingdom, thus obtaining the corresponding Gift Power, which can guard Evil Spirit.

"This was not given directly by the gods, but was given by the leader of that sect through a ceremony, on behalf of the gods, by giving titles."

After Lumian listened carefully, he probably had a clearer understanding of Investiture:

The more institutionalized Gift System not only bundles Gift Power with specific position depth, but also allows the representative of Deity to play a more important role.

"That's basically it. If you want to talk about it in depth, it will involve a lot, and you can't finish it in a short time. For example, Heavenly Court, Underworld, Ritual Procedure, Receiving the Register, etc., etc. I don't know many of them very well myself. I just know a term." Franca breathed out.

Seeing Mr. "The Hanged Man" and Lumian still looking at her, she trembled in her heart and said, "You won't really let me tell you, will you?"

"The Hanged Man" nodded slightly:

"I know it will be difficult for you to speak on the spot, and there will be a lot of Error. You can go back, slowly recall and organize it, form a written information, and forward it to me through your Major Arcana."

"Okay." Franca was first glad that Mr. "The Hanged Man" was easy to talk to, very reasonable, and good at thinking about problems from other people's perspectives, and then muttered silently:

Why did I agree immediately...

"The Hanged Man" has a rather majestic temperament, but there is no obvious Pride. He smiled and said, "After you have completed the written information, you can consider what kind of remuneration you want."

Franca has a lot of things she wants, for example, there is Mystical Item like "Heng-Ha Art", Sealed Artifact that can make her "Teleportation", Sequence 5 like "Witch of Pain" like Potion Formula, etc.

She immediately fell into a struggle, thinking about the reward in advance, and almost forgot to explain the term "Daoism" until Lumian reminded her.

After thinking over and over again for more than ten or twenty seconds, Franca said in a very concise way, "That is to worship the operating rules of the world and the corresponding Philosophy, and shape them into special Deity to worship Sect. Their The leader's name is 'Celestial Master', which means Teacher who understand Heavenly Dao and spread Heavenly Dao. Well, this is how I understand it. 'Heavenly Dao' is the operating law of the world and the corresponding Philosophy that I just mentioned."

"'Celestial Master'https://m•hetushu•com. com. com is equivalent to Pontiff, Pope, Patriarch, Mother Superior, belong to different Sect different names for the leader?" Lumian tried to extract the key points.

Franca was stunned for a second and said, "It can also be understood this way."

As long as you don't consider joining Daoism, there is no big problem with this understanding.

Lumian nodded immediately:

"It sounds like 'Celestial Master' and 'Underworld Daoist' are on the same level."

"I think so too." Franca agreed deeply.

When the two communicated, "The Hanged Man" and Alger seldom interrupted. Most of the time, they listened quietly. They only occasionally expressed their personal thoughts or raised some questions, which kept the conversation going smoothly. Lumian and Franca said a lot in one breath.

Finally, the holder of Major Arcana looked at Lumian and said, "The three answers of 'Armored Wraith' have been of great help to me. What reward do you want?"

Is it of great help? Apart from giving us a better understanding of that world, knowing that the missing Penglai sacred mountain has reappeared has no practical significance... Lumian followed the reminder of "Magician" Lady and said without hesitation, "I want the opportunity to explore this Ghost Ship."

Franca didn't expect that Lumian would ask for such a reward. He was a little stunned at first, and then became excited:

I also want to have the opportunity to drive Ghost Ship and study Ghost Ship!

"The Hanged Man" glanced at Lumian and said, "You have indeed sensed the specialness of the 'Blue Avenger' number. It is one of the legacies of the Tudor Empire. Do you want to explore it now?"

Before Lumian could answer, Termiboros's majestic and cascading voice suddenly sounded in his mind:

"Danger."

Danger... is it real or not? Is Termiboros purely worried about being implicated by me, so he gave me a warning, or is he afraid that I will gain something special in the process of exploring "Blue Avenger"? Maybe Destroy the Calamity that Trier was hiding and make his plot fail? Lumian didn't know whether to believe Termiboros's words for a moment.

Termiboros continued with a rich voice, "If you want Alista·Tudor inside your body Resurrection, you can explore it now."

Lumian didn't care what Termiboros said, and remembered the previous prompt of "Magician" Lady:

It's up to you to decide when exactly you want to explore...

Does this potentially mean that you can consider postponing? Otherwise, there is no need to add such a sentence at all, just say "the reward can be an opportunity to explore"... Aurora's favorite concept is "balance". The various negative influences in my body are temporarily in a state of balance, and there is no need to rush to strengthen the aura of "Blood Emperor"... Lumian, who has become "Conspirer", quickly made a decision:

"Mr. 'The Hanged Man', I would like to explore the 'Blue Avenger' number again at the appropriate time."
