According to Anthony's feedback, Franca had long suspected that Delilah was not the "Person in the Mirror," but was related to Person in the Mirror; otherwise, she wouldn't have been so clueless and had such an abnormal reaction.

The reason she asked this question during the "Magic Mirror Divination" was to confirm, and to be on the verge of Delilah having prepared in advance and not actually being hypnotized.

After a moment's thought, Franca asked her second question:

"Is the owner of this hair Descendants of the Tamara Family?"

In the Gloom Mirror, amidst the splashing water, an aged voice replied, "No."

Not Descendants of the Tamara Family... Franca used the process of elimination, choosing one from her pre-prepared questions. "Is the owner of this hair Descendants of the ' Person in the Mirror '?"

The aged voice answered slowly and hoarsely, "Yes."

Yes... Franca and Jenna were both surprised and delighted.

Although they had suspected something similar, they were still shocked and terrified when it was actually confirmed.

How long have the "Person in the Mirror" been infiltrating Trier? And how come Descendants already in their thirties?

Moreover, they can actually marry and have children like normal people, and have Descendants...

Aside from the "Primordial Witch" in the mirror who has a more extreme Personality and naturally harbors resentment towards her reflection in the mirror, what is the essential difference between them and normal people?

Franca and others are still unsure whether most "Person in the Mirror" dissipate into physical form upon death, leaving behind "fragments of the Mirror World," or whether only a few special "Person in the Mirror," such as Gardner in the Mirror, are like this.

Based on Delilah's biological father's advice to be wary of any unusual reactions from the current Minister of Ministry of Industry, Moran Avignon, Franca can basically conclude that That One high-ranking official was replaced by the "Person in the Mirror" many years ago.

"According to the intelligence we've gathered, the city's renovations to Underground Trier decades ago, including the construction of the Catacombs, were all to address the issue of the seal on Fourth Epoch Trier. Before that, it's perfectly understandable that a ' Person in the Mirror ' had already replaced the original owner and was living in Trier," Anthony said carefully. "The problem now is that the ' Person in the Mirror ' can actually have offspring normally."

Jenna's Eyes flickered slightly as she added, "One more thing, which Descendants brought the ' Mirror World Fragment ' into the Tamara Family's Tomb Chamber in recent decades, or was it a special ' Person in the Mirror ' who went searching for something and ended up dying inside?"

"Or perhaps, before Fourth Epoch Trier sank into the Underground and was sealed away in the Quaternary period, there were already ' Person in the Mirror ' active on this land?"

Franca hissed and said, "Your last guess is a bit scary."

"Our initial deduction was that the ' Special Mirror World ' originated from the ' War of the Four Emperors ' that led to the sinking of Fourth Epoch Trier, and was closely related to the Divine Descent of the ' Primordial Witch,' the dying counterattack of the ' Blood Emperor ' Alista Tudor, and the fall of the ' Calamity Witch ' Krismona. However, if ' Person in the Mirror ' had appeared in Trier in the Fourth Epoch before that, then the root of the problem becomes even more mysterious and terrifying."

Fear of the unknown.

At this point, Franca couldn't help but look at the Vanity Mirror in her hand, and asked the Gloom, deep reflection, "Am I Descendants of the ' Person in the Mirror '?"

She didn't expect an answer, because normally, a maximum of three questions can be asked during a "Magic Mirror Divination." She was just expressing her feelings and ending the Divination session.

The Mirror was silent for a few seconds, then spoke again:

Your Ancestors had no relation to Trier.

Oh, so you mean I can't possibly be related to the "Person in the Mirror"? Wait... Franca suddenly exclaimed with delight, "So you're not an emotionless test-taking Machine, you don't have to strictly follow the rules!"

The deep darkness on the Mirror's surface quickly receded, and the aged voice never appeared again.

Franca was speechless.

Jenna then moved closer to Anthony and whispered, "Did you hear the helplessness in your answer just now?"

Anthony glanced at Franca and nodded almost imperceptibly.

"Hey! Don't whisper in front of me, I can hear you!" Franca complained; the "Assassin's" hearing was quite good.

She then changed the subject:

"It's good that they said there wasn't any; if there were, that would be terrifying."

"Hmm... your grandfather or great-grandfather probably weren't from Trier, right?"

"I'm not a Trier citizen anymore," Anthony replied.

Jenna hummed in agreement.

"My father and mother both came from Trier in their grandfather's generation."

Franca breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Now, the direction of the investigation is very clear: the current Minister of Ministry of Industry, Moran Avignon!"

She hesitated whether to investigate secretly first and obtain some important information, or to quickly notify "007" and let the Church the Eternal Blazing Sun handle it—choosing the latter meant that she would most likely be restricted by the principle of secrecy and unable to obtain the details she wanted from "007".

Ugh!

With the Whistle, the ship sailed into the Port Coria, on the southernmost coastline of the Kingdom of Feynapotter.

It was mid-November, Trier was in the midst of a cold winter. The temperature in Santa Port had dropped to the point where a thick coat was needed, but here the weather was still relatively warm, and most of the pedestrians wore flashy short-sleeved shirts and loose, ankle-baring trousers.

Unlike Porto Santa Port, Port Coria does not have the custom of carrying knives and swords, but as far as Lumian knows, the people here are still fierce and large-scale armed conflicts often occur.

This is because Port Coria is different from Santa Port, which is backed by Ranch, Plains, mountains and mines. There is not much arable land, and grasslands are even scarcer. The original people relied on the sea for their livelihood.

With the "Earth Mother" Church improving the land, seeds, and livestock generation after generation, the Port Coria is now much better than it was in ancient times, and it can basically be self-sufficient in food, but the fierce folk customs remain.

Of course, Port Coria will still import a large amount of grain, because it is one of the main trading ports of the Kingdom of Feynapotter to the Southern Continent, with too many Outsider, and it is also one of the main bases of the "Harvest Fleet".

Captain Pedro stood beside Lumian, gazing at the bustling port with its constant flow of ships, and said, "It's the dry season now. The weather isn't too hot, and there's not much rain. It's the most comfortable time of year in Port Coria. Welcome to visit us."

This is polite language.

Lumian leaned against the ship's railing, gazing at the distant ocean that seemed shrouded in dark clouds:

"That's the Berserk Sea?"

The Berserk Sea separated the Southern and Northern Continent until Emperor Roselle found a safe sea route, allowing the Northern Continent nations to Transmigration this ocean and reach the Southern Continent.

"Yes," Pedro sighed. "Without captains and Sailor familiar with that sea, ships are sure to be swallowed up by its unpredictable and violent weather. People die in Shipwreck in Port Coria every year."

Once most of the passengers had disembarked, Lumian, along with Ludwig and Lugano, followed Captain Pedro to his home.

He wanted to first assess the situation of the other party's Eldest Daughter Sara, and her boyfriend before deciding on the next course of action.

Lugano, carrying his suitcase and holding Ludwig's hand, followed closely behind his employer.

It wasn't until he left the Dock that he suddenly realized something:

The employer and the captain were communicating in Highland Language!

Since leaving Santa Port, the employer and most of the people on the ship have been communicating in the Highland Language!

When did he learn the Highland Language? When could he communicate normally in the Highland Language?

Lugano watched his employer's retreating figure, listening to the fairly fluent Highland Language, and fell into a long silence.

Port Coria, 7 White Shark Street, Pedro's house.

This is a five-story detached building with a lush green Lawn in the front and a beautiful garden in the back, where a large family of twenty or thirty people, headed by Pedro's mother, lives.

As soon as Lumian passed through the iron gate, he saw a man and a woman walking hand in hand on the Lawn.

They were all young, the Women probably in their early twenties, with brown hair and eyes, fair skin with a darker undertone, and naturally Allure features. They were quite good-looking, but for Lumian, who often spent time with "Witch" and Older Sister was also very beautiful, this was only considered good.

The Men appeared to be around twenty-four or twenty-five years old. He had single eyelids, small eyes, and ordinary features. His brown hair was slightly curly. He wore a white shirt and thin dark gray trousers. In terms of both appearance and demeanor, he was the kind of person who would be difficult to spot in a crowd.

"Sara, let me introduce you. This is Louis Berri, the Great Adventurer known Five Seas. His legendary exploits will soon reach Koria." Pedro introduced his guest with a cheerful expression, showing no trace of gloom.

Sara, holding a thin veil hat to shield herself from the Sun, leaned closer and asked curiously, "What kind of legendary experiences do you have?"

"Does earning 300,000 Gold Riso from a book Commission count?" Pedro answered with a smile on Lumian's behalf.

"300,000 Gold Riso?" Sara exclaimed in surprise.

This is a huge asset for the vast majority of Feynapotter residents.

Lumian watched the father and daughter's conversation with a smile, but out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that Sara 'That One lover's eyes had darkened slightly, and he seemed unhappy.

Jealousy, vigilance, and worry? If he really had a serious problem, he should be quite confident... Lumian thought calmly to himself.

Pedro then introduced Sara's lover:

"Flores, Sara's fiancé, they met in Feynapotter City."

Feynapotter City is the capital of the Kingdom of Feynapotter, located on a plateau. Sara met Flores there when she was studying at university. However, Flores came from an ordinary family and did not have a high level of education. He only completed primary grammar school and later opened a grocery store near the Highland University.

"Hello." Lumian nodded slightly, maintaining the Pride of Great Adventurer.

After the welcome dinner, Flores left the Pedro family home.

He entered his favorite, charming Bar and sat down at the bar with a rather unpleasant expression.

As he casually glanced around, he noticed a young woman sitting a few seats away.

The woman's Linen-Colored hair was simply tied up, her Lake-Colored Eyes seemed to hold a glimmer of light, her nose was high and straight, and her lips were red. Even from the side, she was breathtakingly beautiful.
