Intimidation
The "Professor" also felt that Lumian's suggestion could verify some things, so he and the "Associate Professor" went to another group and found a "Stonemason" who could help people make Mystical Item.
This man, dressed in Doctor's white coat with a stew pot over his head, peered through two specially cut holes at the "Academy" members, who were considered "Warlock."
He nodded and said, "I've also been having strange dreams about the Wilderness lately, but besides the endless Wilderness and wandering figures, there are some peculiar images in my dreams."
As expected, this matter affects the two adjacent Pathway of "Those Mystery Pryer" and "Those Generalist"... As Lumian nodded slightly, he heard the "Professor" ask, "What kinds of scenes are there?"
The Stonemason's voice echoed continuously inside the stew pot:
"The images of primitive humans creating Flames for the first time by their own power, the images of ancient humans worshipping the sky and the earth, and many other similar scenes, are all very blurry. I was in a dream and couldn't distinguish them clearly, so I can't remember the specific details."
"In the parlance most favored by Beyonder who follow the ' Generalist ' Pathway, these are fragments of Civilization."
Upon hearing the "Stonemason's" reply, Lumian's brow twitched almost imperceptibly.
This is very similar to the scene that accompanied the strange sounds he heard after putting on the "Eye of Truth" in Fourth Epoch Trier!
In the end, all the voices in the scenes he witnessed roared at one name:
"Celestial Master!"
"What I received was a fragment of Civilization?" The "Eye of Truth" corresponds to the "Mystery Pryer" Pathway. After use, it activated the power of two adjacent Pathway, and I heard the corresponding voice? Hmm, I need to add a prefix: under special circumstances... Indeed, there are high-level power remnants of the "Mystery Pryer" and "Generalist" Pathway in Trier during the Fourth Epoch Trier... "Celestial Master," this title is quite similar to "Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth"... "Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth" is an existence that can influence the three adjacent Pathway of "Seer," "Apprentice," and "Thief." "Celestial Master" corresponds to the "Mystery Pryer" and "Generalist" Pathway? Lumian fell into deep thought after his initial surprise.
Franca glanced at him sideways, somewhat puzzled by his lack of participation in the discussion.
After a while, Lumian came to his senses and, combining the speculations of the "Professor" and the "Stonemason," said carefully, "The sudden Torrential Rain in Trier is one of the outward manifestations of a Calamity, and the same is true of the changes at the Deep Valley Monastery."
"I suspect that some high-level force leaked out during that Calamity, affecting the Beyonder in the two adjacent Pathway. Those in Trier will show more obvious anomalies, while those outside Trier will experience milder effects."
At this point, Lumian curled the corners of his mouth:
"I noticed earlier that the ' Warlock ' who weren't in Trier at the time had a significant decrease in the frequency and clarity of their Wilderness Dream Dream, while none of the ' Warlock ' in Trier mentioned this."
The "bear" wearing a brown bear costume nodded approvingly.
The "professor" and others initially accepted Lumian's conjecture and were relieved because the situation was indeed easing.
They all secretly marveled that the "Muggle" had truly grown up a lot after surviving the April Fool's Day ' Day prank.
Next, Franca inquired about the owner of the Ancient Tomb Chamber next to the ' Mad Mushroom Cave ' in the Trier Catacombs.
No one knew the answer; the "Warlock" in Trier only said they could help look into it, but couldn't guarantee they'd find anything.
Franca had already Commission this matter to "007," and the current inquiry was more about learning from Lumian to see if she could lure out any potential "Person in the Mirror" who might have infiltrated the Curly-Haired Baboon Research Society.
After agreeing on the payment, she left the "Academy" group and headed towards "Hella".
After she finished communicating with Hella about the "Person in the Mirror," Lumian also came out from the corner where the "Academy" group was located, preparing to go to the "Purgatory" group to learn about the Mysticism knowledge of the Death Domain.
Franca immediately moved closer to Lumian, lowered her voice, and asked with a smile, "What were you thinking about when the ' Stonemason ' was telling you about his Dream? It felt like you were thinking about something very important."
Didn't I tell you about what I saw and heard Underground after using the "Eye of Truth"? I shouldn't have, I won't forget to share things related to the "Celestial Master" with Franca... Lumian suddenly had a thought, feeling that his own spirituality was preventing this.
He thought for a moment and said, "It's rather complicated and involves high-level forces. I'll write to Lady. ' Magician ' later and see if she can tell you."
"Okay," Franca said expectantly, "Don't forget!"
Her curiosity had been piqued.
At this moment, Hella, still dressed as Black Widow but with a much less icy aura, approached Lumian and asked, "Any progress on tracking ' Ultraman ' and ' The Wandering Poet '?"
"Not yet, we're still in the information gathering stage," Lumian said without hiding anything.
Hella nodded slightly and said, "If you need help, you can always find me, find Gandalf."
Eliminating those traitors from "April Fool's Day" is the wish of most members of the Curly-Haired Baboon Research Society.
"Okay." Lumian had no intention of dealing with the Core Member of "April Fool's Day" alone.
Of course, it would be best if he were to carry out the final execution.
Back in the real world, Lumian saw that it was getting late, so he left Ludwig a pile of Late Night food, summoned the Messenger of the "Magician" Lady, washed his face and brushed his teeth, turned off the wall lamp, and went to Bed.
Just then, he suddenly had a premonition, sat up abruptly, and turned his gaze to a certain spot in the room.
A faint crimson glow shone through the window, and a shadow in the corner rapidly expanded, extending to the ceiling and revealing a shape resembling two ram's horns.
It's like a Demon is emerging from the Abyss of darkness.
Lumian stared at the enormous black shadow, his eyebrows twitching slightly.
The Demon shadowy figure uttered a deep, authoritative voice:
"You lowly human, you must answer my questions honestly."
It uses Intis language.
Lumian gently stretched his neck and asked, "What's the problem?"
The Demon shadowy figure spoke in a low voice, "What did Giorgia of the Paco Family Commission you to do?"
Lumian laughed:
What do human affairs have to do with a Demon you?
"I am an adventurer with professional ethics, and I will not betray my employer."
The Demon shadow growled, "Then let your blood be the answer!"
Before the words were even finished, it had already unleashed its power, instantly plunging the Crimson Moonlight in the entire room into darkness, filling the space with a terrifying atmosphere.
Lumian's lips curled up, and with a press of his left hand, he leaped out of Bed like a cheetah and pounced towards the ceiling.
His space above was immediately blocked by patches of darkness, like a reflection cast by Abyss.
Suddenly, Lumian's body also turned black, becoming almost non-existent.
He transformed into Shadow Creature and burrowed directly into the darkness!
Through the veil of Gloom, Lumian saw the "Demon."
It was only a little over a meter tall, about the height of a child, but its skin was wrinkled, making it look like an old man in his seventies or eighties.
Its head was abnormally large, with protruding eyes, making it very strange and unlike any creature Lumian knew.
Lumian, existing in the form of shadow, "swam" Past, attempting to Entanglement the strange creature that had created the "Demon" projection, drag it out of the darkness, and control it with the "Heng-Ha Art."
In his Shadow Creature form, many of Lumian's abilities are restricted.
The large-headed, short-bodied, wrinkled, and Evil creature seemed to have little resistance to the shadows Entanglement, causing Lumian was prepared for a fierce resistance, to pause in surprise.
Without a second thought, he immediately prepared to lead the prisoners away from the shadows.
Just then, the Gloom around him brightened, illuminated by the light descending from the "sky".
Lumian subconsciously looked up, gazing at the sky, where the pure darkness rapidly dissipated, revealing a huge Stars hanging there.
The Stars was tinged with a faint blue, like an eerie eye.
Suddenly, Lumian's blood seemed to freeze, and he unconsciously broke free from his Shadow Creature state. The "dwarf" with an abnormally large head and a wrinkled face took the opportunity to break free of its restraints, quickly merging into the pale blue starlight and disappearing.
A second later, Lumian fully recovered, gazing at the room that had returned to normal, and fell into deep thought.
What was that thing just now? It looked weak, yet it came to scare him!
But the "twinking Stars" is quite unusual.
"Why didn't you just let that Stars come out and scare me from the start? It suppressed me but didn't take the opportunity to attack. Although I regained some mobility as soon as I came out of the shadows, I'm still quite slow..." Lumian murmured silently.
He couldn't understand the overall situation, but he thoroughly grasped some of the details:
"No wonder Giorgia didn't just find any outsider with Extraordinary Ability to deal with that Humanoid Lizard, because there will be people Concealment in the shadows who will interrogate her about the whole thing, and only a famous adventurer like Louis Berri, who can hunt down ' Devil Warlock ', can withstand them."
"Hehe, a reward of Riso isn't easy to earn..."
"The people Concealment in the shadows knew Louis Berri was no pushover, so they didn't dare to attack directly. Instead, they sent that little Monster with special abilities to intimidate him, hoping to swindle some information out of him?"
"Why not go ask Giorgia's family? They don't seem to have any supernatural powers..."
Is this an internal conflict and dispute within the Fishing Company or Fishing Guild?
"Yes, this is an opportunity to make further contact with the Paco Family and figure out the Core Process of the Sea-Praying Ritual..."
Lumian shook his head, lay back down on the bed, and tried to fall back asleep.
A little after eight o'clock the next morning, Lugano, who had gone to buy breakfast, hurriedly returned and said to Lumian, "Boss, those Combat Nuns are looking for you!"
