Moving forward

"We were 'Dark Box Transaction'?" Franca recalled the whole thing carefully and found nothing too abnormal. The only thing worthy of discussion is, "Black Witch" should have a way to quickly "take away" Moran Avni under the protection of the Official Beyonder team. After all, she could obviously make good use of Mirror World. As a result, she completely blamed this matter on herself.

Of course, this is completely understandable. Although the Official Beyonder team protecting Moran Avni is only composed of Mid-Sequence, this is Trier, the capital of Republic of Intis, "Eternal Blazing Sun", "Church", "God of Steam and Machinery" "Church is the most important parish, and there are countless Half-Gods stationed there, who can turn their attention to it at any time. If "Black Witch" fails to make a quick attack and kills everyone present, it will inevitably suffer a big impact in the future, and it will even be tracked by Official Beyonder using some special Sealed Artifact.

If something happens to her, Witch Sect's branch in Trier will suffer a devastating blow. In this case, it is a more mature choice to let members with neither high nor low positions and certain abilities take charge, and she will deal with the aftermath. If things go wrong, she can decisively abandon Franca and her Lovers.

Of course, this is all based on the fact that Moran Avni is not as important as Witch Sect is willing to pay a high price to deal with him. Otherwise, Witch Sect will definitely evacuate irrelevant members in advance, and the high-ranking Witchs code-named by colors will also gather in Trier.

"I think there is a problem. It's not that we shouldn't give up or that we can't give up, but that we gave up too quickly and too early." Anthony gave his own opinion from the perspective of Humanity.

Franca nodded slightly and said, "That's right, 'Black Witch' simply confirmed that there was no Beyonder hiding behind the related Mirror and Library, and thought that Moran Avni had been abandoned and would no longer provide help."

"This is too hasty and easy." Jenna commented.

She hesitated for a few seconds and said, "'Judgement'Lady was also affected?"

"Maybe." Lumian lowered his head and looked at his left chest.

He lowered his voice again and said, "Termiboros, why are you not affected? Is it because you have Angel-Level?"

Termiboros's majestic and layered voice echoed in Lumian's body:

"Maybe, I'm not sure.

"It may also be caused by the 'The Fool' seal. The seal is indeed a restriction, but it can also be a protection at certain times."

Just like Naporidisli's "Abomination" Corpse? That One "Supervisor"'s "Dark Box Transaction" cannot pass the seal of Mr. "The Fool", so it cannot affect Termiboros? Lumian nodded and said to Jenna, "It is necessary to tell 'Judgement' Lady about our guess. If there is indeed 'Dark Box Transaction', she will definitely be able to get rid of the influence immediately after being reminded and give new suggestions. If not, it means Messenger has worked harder."

"Okay." Jenna understood that Lumian meant "Although we suspect there is 'Dark Box Transaction', we will not act recklessly now. We still need new guidance from Major Arcana."

While waiting for "Judgement" Lady to reply, Franca said "Hey".

"What's wrong?" Jenna asked with concern.

Franca replied with a look of "sadness and indignation": "This time 'Dark Box Transaction' was a big deal, and it affected at least two Half-God, 'School of Truth' and 'Supervisor' who did not know how much they paid for it and how many valuable items they had."

Yes, that's true, but what does this have to do with you? Why are you feeling sad and angry? Jenna blinked, a little unable to follow Franca's thoughts.

Franca continued, "After 'Judgement'Lady catches him or kills him with our assistance, there will not be many Spoils of War left for us to allocate.

"Maybe he's a poor guy like Yebus again!"

For a moment, no matter it was Lumian, Jenna or Anthony, no one knew how to respond to Franca.

This makes you feel bad for Future and possible Spoils of War?

Lumian changed the topic, looked at Franca and Jenna and said, "When I asked Yebus the last two questions, why did you lean towards me and have a premonition that something would go wrong?"

"Of course, this is Witch's spiritual premonition." Franca said proudly, "Although I don't know what will happen, once I get close to you, I will have more ways to deal with danger."

Jenna nodded lightly, indicating that the same was true for him.

Lumian looked at Anthony again:

"What about you?"

Anthony replied calmly, "I thought Yebus would be stimulated by those two questions and get rid of the influence of hypnosis. The performance of Franca and Jenna indirectly confirmed my worries.

"In that case, hiding behind you is a safer option."

"Are you using us as a shield?" Franca laughed and cursed.

Anthony nodded sincerely:

"You have 'Mirror Substitute'."

"That's right." Franca accepted this reason.

A few minutes later, Messenger from "Judgement"Lady sent a reply.

The reply was very simple, just one sentence:

"You can continue to take action."

Is this what Major Arcana people are paying attention to? Have you communicated with "Hermit" Lady? Lumian nodded thoughtfully, smiled and said to Franca and others, "We will proceed according to the original plan."

"Original plan?" Franca was shocked.

"Yes." Lumian responded with a smile, "In the next few hours, or even within a day, 'Supervisor' and other 'Person in the Mirror' will definitely not come to Moran Avni Study's side Full-Length Mirror Moran Avni provides protection, which should be a prerequisite for the success of 'Dark Box Transaction'. 'Black Witch' has checked those places, and 'Supervisor' will not know when she will check, so she must leave enough time.

"That is to say, if we hide in that Mirror, we won't be disturbed in any way and there will be no danger."

Jenna frowned slightly:

"But the point of the problem isn't that Moran Avni won't enter that Full-Length Mirror in the near future? How can he ambush..."

Having said this, Jenna suddenly paused, as if he thought of a certain possibility.

Lumian's smile gradually brightened:

"That One'Supervisor' can do 'Dark Box Transaction', and so can we!"

"Yes, 'Power Broker’s Black Box'!" Franca instantly understood what Lumian meant.

Using "Power Broker’s Black Box", let Moran Avni find a "reason" to reconsider entering that side Full-Length Mirror!

As for how "Behind-the-Scenes Manipulation" will make this kind of transaction successful, it is not something that he and others need to consider. Even those "Supervisor" most likely do not know the details of Dark Box Transaction.

Dark Box is also a black box!

After confirming the risk level with the help of "Magic Mirror Divination", Lumian, Franca, Jenna and Anthony successively passed the Mirror World entrance fixed on the raised rock and entered the mysterious Gloom space.

Looking at the empty passages that lead to unknown directions and exist like spider webs, Lumian inspired "Mirror Image Mark" Contract in his body.

He immediately said to Franca and others, "I can sense that side Full-Length Mirror, and I can accurately locate it."

"Then let's Past now." Franca put on Hood of Assassin suit again and grabbed Lumian's arm.

Although she is already wearing "Mirror Buckle", why waste an opportunity to use it when there are other options?

When Jenna and Anthony caught themselves again, Lumian inspired the mark of "Spirit World Traversal", and through one of Gloom's void passages, "Teleportation" arrived in front of a deep and dark Waterlight.

That Waterlight represents one side Mirror, which has a corresponding fuzzy area, and the area is connected to countless illusory Tunnel like spider webs.

Lumian leaned towards the deep and dark Waterlight, and saw the scene outside through the glass mirror.

That is indeed Moran Avni's Study.

Franca also recognized the target location and breathed a sigh of relief, "I'll do 'Dark Box Transaction'."

"I'll do it." Lumian laughed, "With what happened before, even if I don't use 'Power Broker’s Black Box', I will probably encounter some Devil. In this case, why not use it happily?"

He was referring to matters related to Naporidisli.

"Okay." Franca admitted that what Lumian said made sense, and said, "Then I'll pay for it!"

She took out five thousand Felkine worth of gold from "Traveler’s Bag".

Lumian did not refuse, and said to Jenna and others, "The transaction I want to complete is to let Moran Avni have the idea of entering the Full-Length Mirror inside Study, and then use 'Push Destiny' to turn that idea into reality.

"This is much simpler than directly letting Moran Avni enter this Mirror transaction, and the reward required will definitely be less."

"Yeah." Jenna took out "Power Broker’s Black Box" from the backpack.

This dark-colored one, Wooden Box, can be used eight times.

Lumian held the bag containing Gold Coin from Franca in his right hand and stretched it out from inside the leather-membrane "curtain".

Then, he felt his five wet, wrinkled fingers. They quickly closed them and grabbed the bag containing Gold Coin.

Lumian's expression did not have any Change, and he expressed his request with Hermetic.

After a brief pause, the wrinkled and wet palm pushed back the bag containing Gold Coin.

This...Lumian raised his head and told Franca and others about the situation.

"This means asking for more money!" Franca suddenly realized.

She distressedly took out more Banknotes and gold, but the cold, wrinkled palm pushed back the reward time and time again.

Lumian helped Franca add tens of thousands of Felkine, but the transaction was still not completed.

"Maybe, what 'Dark Box' wants is not money, nor gold?" Jenna remembered the "Broker" Pathway information that Yebus said.

"Need Mystical Item?" Lumian frowned, thinking about things that could be traded.

Franca thought about it and said, "How about using that 'Bloodgold' Ring? It has a great negative impact, and we have hardly used it."

"Bloodgold" Ring is derived from "Madwoman", corresponding to some of the abilities of "Secret Supplicant" Pathway Sequence 6 "Rose Bishop".

The four of them discussed for a while and finally decided to give "Bloodgold" and "Ring" a try.

After the wet palm inside "Dark Box" touched "Bloodgold" Ring, the five fingers clenched tightly and retracted with Ring.

This means the deal is done.

Huh... Lumian breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I don't know how 'Dark Box Transaction' will be realized this time..."

"I hope you won't run into Swindler and praise 'The Fool'!" Franca pressed his hand on his chest and prayed to Mr. "The Fool".
