The dark clouds over Trier had dispersed, Crimson Moonlight shone on every corner of the city, reflecting the knee-deep puddles.

Lumian and Franca appeared on the edge of the rooftop of some unknown building. In front of them was a "Magician" floating in the void and a pile of objects. To their sides were Jenna and Anthony, who seemed to be surrounded by Gloom glass and whose eyes were looking somewhere else.

Before Lumian could ask a question, "The Magician" said with a sigh, "Medici has become the Angel King again."

"The greatest Conspirer of all time has returned."

"That One ' Red Angel ' who once followed the ' Ancient Sun God,' Medici, who died at the hands of the ' Blood Emperor '?" Lumian was both surprised and not so surprised.

How could the Angel who used That One "Hunter" Pathway not be involved in matters concerning the secrets of the Sauron Family and Fourth Epoch Trier?

Albus Medici's existence is proof of that!

Lumian had previously thought that the secrecy and forced early execution of the "Hostel Ritual" had prevented the "Red Angel" from exerting any influence, but now it seems that He is the biggest winner.

The "Magician" Lady seemed relaxed, chuckled, and said, "You don't need to add that last half of your sentence. It makes you sound like you're Provocation Him, especially since you still have the ' Blood Emperor's' aura Brand on your right hand."

Franca, having heard Lumian mention the Medici Family, asked curiously, "What did That One ' Red Angel ' do?"

As she spoke, she glanced at Jenna and Anthony, noticing that they were neither listening to her conversation with the "Magician" Lady nor looking in their direction, as if they were in another world.

Behind her, the water on the rooftop was slowly receding, and the sound of rushing water echoed from the drain.

The Magician sighed:

"Just as the Angel of the Einhorn Family, the powerful members of the Iron and Blood Cross Order, and the special power of the Sealed Artifact and the Fourth Epoch Trier were about to kill the Loss of Control Vermonda Soren, He seized the opportunity, Termination the entire battle, and obtained that Sequence 1 Beyonder Characteristic."

"The Blood-Colored sky and the Blazing White rain of fire you see are the Change He brought to Fourth Epoch Trier as the Angel King once again."

So that's how it is... Lumian recalled what had just happened and gained a direct understanding of the terror and power of the Angel King.

At this point, he was barefoot, because he had been transported to the Painted World while he was sleeping, and the shoes and socks he wore afterward were painted on, which obviously couldn't last long.

He asked thoughtfully, "Was that screaming Giant the Loss of Control Vermonda Soren?"

No wonder the roar alone almost made them lose consciousness; thankfully, Mr. The Fool's Gray Fog provided protection.

"Yes, Vermonda Soren Loss of Control and entered the sealed Underground, marking the beginning of the Sauron Family's Decay. Although many details remain unclear, the general situation has been clarified."

The Einhorn Family's Angel... Alois Einhorn and one of the Iron and Blood Cross Order's main objectives was to break the seal, Hunting the Loss of Control Vermonda Soren, and obtain that Sequence 1 Beyonder Characteristic? Lumian nodded slightly, asking uncertainly, "These powerful individuals all entered the Fourth Epoch Trier through the ' Hostel Ritual '?"

"Most of them entered through the leak in the Breeze Ballroom's Underground opened by the ' Hostel Ritual,' while the That One from the Einhorn family entered through a leak Depths within the Red Swan Castle's Underground Palace, essentially using the chain reaction created by the ' Hostel Ritual.' As for how the ' Red Angel ' entered, I still don't know." The Magician's expression turned serious. "But there's reason to believe that the ' Hostel Ritual ' was orchestrated by the ' Red Angel.' He used the ' Iron and Blood Cross Order,' and he used Gardner Martin. No wonder he once taught and cared for Amon."

Lumian suddenly understood, and felt that many details now had a more reasonable explanation.

Franca's emotions became very complicated.

The "Magician" Lady glanced at the two of them and said reassuringly, "But in any case, our actions have brought forward the ' Hostel Ritual ' hastily, reducing the damage this plan will cause to Trier. As a result, only a few night watchmen in places like Honest Man's Market and Lister Docks suffered losses in the entire Market District. Some soldiers died in other areas, and the overall losses were mainly economic. This shows that our efforts were worthwhile."

At this point, she gave a self-deprecating laugh and looked up at the sky:

"The only thing we didn't expect was that they would cooperate."

"Them..." Lumian and Franca muttered to themselves.

They were eager to know who was working with the "Red Angel," but the "Magician" Lady clearly wasn't going to say.

The Lady glanced at the Silver-White Full-Body Armor floating beside her, Gardner Martin's remains, and the items Jenna had discarded during the battle. She smiled and said, "I will help you deal with the Corruption and provide specific usage information as a bonus for this mission."

"Well, I suggest we ignore the Corruption on that Bone Flute for now. It can give it a very peculiar effect. Anyway, with Gardner Martin's Beyonder Characteristic, you won't need Philip's anymore, and your own special abilities can effectively reduce the Negative Effect of the Bone Flute."

The following sentence was spoken while looking at Lumian.

Seeing Lumian nod, the "Magician" continued, "This wooden box is a type of ' Dark Box.' It can't be used in combat, but it can solve many problems that violence can't solve in special situations. I'll write down the details and have Messenger deliver them."

"The Mirror Fragments left behind by Gardner in the Mirror is closely related to that Special Mirror World in Fourth Epoch Trier. My intuition tells me that it may be related to the current state of the ' Primordial Witch '."

"This armor is rather special; wearing it might bring you some unexpected encounters. Hehe, have you ever thought about becoming a beautiful Women or a handsome young man four or five meters tall?"

After giving a brief, lighthearted introduction to the basic information of the different items, the "Magician" nodded slightly and said, "Once I've processed them, I'll return them along with the documents, along with a formal reward."

"Seven of Wands, you'll have to leave Trier for a while. The Iron and Blood Cross Order's mission is coming to an end. All you need to do is tell That One gentleman that I believe he will understand and accept it."

Lumian, thinking about how both of Trier's Calamity were related to him, hummed in agreement and said, "That's what I was thinking too. I plan to track down the remaining members of ' April Fool's Day '."

The "Magician" then looked at Franca:

"What you do next depends on the Witch Sect's reaction. Remember to report to your Major Arcana then."

After Franca responded, she glanced in the direction of Anthony and Jenna:

"Once the aftermath Past, ask them if they want to draw Minor Arcana and become members of the Tarot Club. Don't force them; I'll make sure they keep it a secret."

"To become Subordinate Minor Arcana Card?" Franca asked, quite pleased.

The Magician smiled:

"Not necessarily, it depends on Destiny."

She immediately said to Lumian, "You don't need to leave in a hurry. You can Concealment and wait a few days. Now, go back to the Golden Rooster Inn. I see your Destiny waiting for you there."

Destiny's twist? Lumian was very puzzled, but he could tell that the "Magician" Lady didn't want to explain what it was, or perhaps she had only seen that event without seeing the details.

The next second, the "Magician" Lady and everything around her were enveloped in starlight and disappeared into thin air.

"It's truly a dream..." Franca exclaimed sincerely.

She then turned her head thoughtfully and said to Lumian, "Do you think the ' Magician ' Lady might be the ' Angel of Stars ' from the Church's Holy Scripture?"

"No way..." Lumian retorted instinctively, then fell into deep thought.

Messy Street, Golden Rooster Inn.

As soon as Lumian stepped onto the second floor, he saw Daoist crouching by his door.

He was a seven or eight-year-old boy with chubby cheeks, a kind and honest demeanor, and carrying a dark red schoolbag.

Lumian frowned slightly and Past Baron Brignais Ludwig Brinell's Monster adopted son.

Is there anything I can help you with?

Ludwig, with his blond hair and brown eyes, jumped to his feet and pleaded, "Can you help me leave Trier? I don't want to stay in the Church of Knowledge anymore, I don't want to be controlled by Brignais anymore, I don't want to do homework and Exam Paper anymore! I can pay you!"

"Reward?" Lumian raised an eyebrow.

Is this the twist of Destiny that the "Magician" Lady spoke of?

Ludwig nodded emphatically:

"Yes."

He quickly took off the dark red hard-sided backpack he always carried, opened it, and pulled out a stack of Paper:

"This is something I stole from the Church of Knowledge —no, I took it."

Lumian reached out and took it, his gaze sweeping over the homepage:

Number: 01.

Name: Flag of the Fallen God, Salinger Blood Banner.

"Danger Level: '0', Extremely Dangerous, Highest Priority, Highest Confidentiality Level, Do Not Inquire, Do Not Disseminate, Do Not Describe, Do Not Spy."

Data on a "Level 0" Sealed Artifact? And it's even "0-01"! Lumian's forehead and eyelids twitched simultaneously.

He knew that the Church had sealed away many Mystical Item that were highly dangerous and had serious negative impacts, dividing them into four levels, with "3" being the lowest and "0" being the highest. "1" often meant that it could threaten the Saint and bring great Calamity, and the consequences of "0" were self-evident.

Lumian looked up sharply at Ludwig and saw that the little boy had a pleading look on his face, but nothing else seemed amiss.

He lowered his head again and quickly read the rest of the text:

"Security Level: Only God's Messenger can know this."

"Sealing method: Place it in an Underground Mausoleum, put a large number of Soldier Puppets on it, build Cemetery above it with more than a million corpses, and supplement it with a real city with a population of more than 100,000. The specific implementation method and Ritual arrangement are..."

Description: This is a charred flag with Iron-Black flagpole and numerous dangerous bloodstains on the flag.

"... Beyonder of Sequence 5 or higher are not allowed to approach. Warning! Beyonder of Sequence 5 or higher are not allowed to approach!"

"... The Experimental Subjects responsible for replacing the Soldier Puppets must be blindfolded and carry a Hurricane Lantern... If the Hurricane Lantern goes out, the Experimental Subjects will disappear instantly, and everyone who knows him will simultaneously believe he is already dead... If he is not blindfolded, the one leaving the Mausoleum will be a Monster just like him..."

"... The Banishment City of Morola on the ground frequently experiences extreme weather, including but not limited to Hurricane, Torrential Rain, Earthquake, and Volcano eruptions..."

"... The area surrounding Morola originally had no Volcano..."

"... The inhabitants of Morola are exceptionally belligerent, with multiple duels resulting in death and injury occurring daily, and protests and Riot occurring more than six times a year..."

"... The residents of Morola have no intention of leaving the city, at any time..."

"... According to some ancient texts, it witnessed the fall of at least two True God..."

Holy crap, is this something I can actually watch? Lumian grew increasingly horrified as he looked.

He looked at Ludwig with suspicion and asked again, "Did you really steal this?"

Is this kind of information that can be stolen so easily?

The child-like Ludwig initially wanted to argue that it wasn't stealing but taking, but ultimately he obediently nodded:

"Yes."

Lumian looked at the little boy with a slight frown and fell into a deep silence.
