Advice

After summoning the Messenger to deliver the letter, Lumian sat at his Desk, gazing at the Dark Curtains that were bathed in Crimson Moonlight, patiently waiting for the arrival of the "Magician" Lady.

After an unknown amount of time, tiny glittering stars began to emerge in the dark room, outlining the figure of the "Magician".

She had changed into a thick cotton dress with Brownish Yellow Mixed with White.

"Good evening, Lady. ' Magician '," Lumian said, glancing around. "I have something important to discuss."

The "Magician" understood his meaning and immediately caused the surrounding darkness to solidify into illusory glass, bending and curling up to block the infiltration of the Crimson Moonlight and outside sounds.

"What important matter?" After ensuring the secrecy was maintained, the "Magician" Lady finally asked.

Lumian grabbed a ball of Blazing White Flames to use as a chandelier, paused for a few seconds, and said, "I've confirmed the origin of the Lizard-like Sprite."

"Not Evil God from Outside the Barrier?" The "Magician" Lady looked thoughtful.

Lumian's lips curled up slightly:

"He can be considered Evil God, but not Outside the Barrier."

The "Magician" frowned slightly and said, "Explain in more detail."

Lumian began in a low voice to recount the negative consequences of his Contract with "The Penitent" Bainfel, and how he saw the Statue of the "True Creator" and a Lizard- like Elf in a Secret Church of the "Aurora Order," as well as a phantom scene that resembled Divine Kingdom.

The "Magician" Lady didn't interrupt him, listened attentively to the whole story, and then sighed deeply, "Actually, I suspected that the Lizard- like Elf was related to Him, but both the Mythical Creature Form Mythical Creature Form of the ' Spectator ' Pathway and the ' The Hanged Man ' Pathway are clearly different from that Elf. Nothing similar has appeared in the past five or six years. In addition, the two experts who are good at Cryptology and Dream Interpretation are more inclined to believe that the Elf comes from an Evil God Outside the Barrier. These factors led me to finally give up this guess."

"Now it seems that the Calamity in Cordou Village was That One had been involved in from the very beginning."

"That makes sense. How could He, who has been listening and watching all along, not notice such a major event that has lasted for a long time and involves members of the Curly-Haired Baboon Research Society? How could He not take the opportunity to do something about it?"

"What exactly does He want to do?" Lumian's expression Distortion almost imperceptibly.

The "Magician" stared at Lumian for a few seconds, then sighed and said, "I can only be certain of one purpose, which is to create an Beyonder can quickly digest and advance through the ' Hunter ' Pathway."

"Think about it, it's only been about half a year since you became a ' Hunter,' and you've already become Sequence 5 Beyonder. You've also digested a large amount of the ' Reaper ' Potion. Maybe in another two or three months, you can consider opening the Door of Divinity, advancing to Sequence 4, and becoming Half-God."

"On this ' Journey,' whether it's sealing away the False Angel-Level brought by Termiboros, the Gift Power Fate Pathway, or the opportunities for Temperance and digestion filled with a sense of arrangement, all have made significant contributions to your growth."

"He wants a ' Red Priest ' and pushes the ' Red Priest ' to fight the ' Primordial Witch '."

"I was worried that your advancement might be too smooth, but now it seems that all of Destiny's gifts come with a hidden price, and the deposit has already been paid."

Bathed in the Blazing White light of the fire, Lumian said in a hoarse voice, "I would rather I were still an Ordinary Person."

The "Magician" Lady shook her head with a complicated smile:

"With the Apocalypse approaching, given Aurora's background and condition, even if the Calamity doesn't happen to Cordou Village this time, it will inevitably happen again, and the time after that. Have you forgotten the helplessness and Pain you felt as Ordinary Person during that Calamity?"

Lumian's hands clenched unconsciously, and she lowered her head slightly, saying, "I... I just don't want to gain power in this way."

The "Magician" Lady didn't continue the topic, instead saying, "He must have other purposes. For example, Humanoid Sealed Artifact like you can effectively Aggregation the Evil God Gift-Bearers around you wherever you go, exposing their schemes in advance and giving us more time to deal with them."

Lumian remained silent and did not respond to the matter.

The "Magician" Lady glanced at him, and asked with a clear sigh, "What do you plan to do next?"

Lumian's body trembled slightly, as if he could barely contain his emotions.

He said through Teeth, "I want to throw a punch at Him!"

After saying those words, Lumian's eyes turned a blood-red hue.

To be honest, he had almost never had a firm idea of Deity Revenge before. His original plan was to kill the Core Member of "April Fools' April Fool's Day" and the Samson Family of the "Sinners" organization, then try to become Angel, extract most of Termiboros's power, and then release this weakened Fate Angel to kill him.

He knew that the Source of the Calamity in Cordou Village was actually That One being named Fate, but because the gap between the two was too great, and because of his natural fear of the Deity, he only cursed occasionally and said a few harsh words, but did not really put the other party on his revenge list.

And now, he wants all those damned Deity to fall from Heaven, like shooting stars streaking across the night sky!

The "Magician" Lady looked at Lumian and asked seriously, "Do you know what your last words meant?"

"I know." Lumian nodded slowly. "I waited a whole day to come to you because I was seriously asking myself these questions."

I asked again and again, in anger, in sadness, and even after I calmed down a little.

The "Magician" Lady looked at him with that familiar pity once again.

This time, Lumian knew clearly what she was pitying:

A human who wants to punch Deity.

Lumian looked back at the holder of the Major Arcana, his gaze not wavering in the slightest.

After a while, the "Magician" nodded slightly and said, "You told me your goal because you hoped I could provide some helpful advice to make your idea even slightly feasible?"

"Well, my advice is to resist the urge to act before Mr. The Fool begins to awaken. Focus on improving yourself. Only when you become Half-God will you have the chance to sit at that Card Table once Mr. The Fool begins to awaken, of course, in the form of cards or chips. Don't be discouraged. This applies to you, to me, and to other Half-God. At crucial moments, our will and our choices can also play a vital role. We can also take advantage of the Card Players."

Lumian asked in a deep voice, "Will ' The Fool ' help me?"

The "Magician" Lady nodded solemnly:

"Meeting."

Her eyes grew brighter and brighter without her even realizing it.

"Mr. The Fool will Protection us."

"We are all willing to sacrifice for this world, but we must not be sacrificed."

Lumian suddenly exhaled, as if all his strength had been drained, to the point that he was unsteady on his feet and swayed slightly.

He has been suppressing it, trying his best to suppress it, until now.

The "Magician" Lady looked at him, thought for a moment, and said, "I must remind you of something. That One should already know your thoughts because you behaved strangely in front of His Statue."

"I'm not criticizing you, I'm just stating a fact. In that situation, even the ' Clown ' and the ' Spectator ' would find it difficult to control their emotions and expressions, let alone you, who are just an ' Ascetic '."

"I know..." Lumian replied with difficulty.

Before the "Magician" Lady exposed him, he actually harbored a certain amount of wishful thinking.

The "Magician" smiled and said, "This is also a good thing. The fact that you are still alive means that you are still useful to Him and have value to be used. You have not yet repaid all the gifts of Destiny. As long as you do not give up on yourself and do not participate in actions that could disrupt His important arrangements, He will ignore your hatred and may even continue to let you encounter some things and gain some things until you step onto the stage He has predetermined."

"It's frustrating, but that's the reality. In His eyes, you're just a speck of Dust right now, and He can turn you back to Dust at any time. He doesn't care about your thoughts at all."

After a long silence, Lumian asked in a slightly hoarse voice, "You mean, before Mr. ' The Fool ' begins to awaken, I should make full use of that That One's arrangements?"

The "Magician" nodded slightly and said, "Using your enemy's things to strengthen yourself is also a form of revenge."

"Of course, this requires you to be more cautious and restrained. As I just said, every gift of Destiny comes with a hidden price. You have to weigh whether you are willing and able to pay the corresponding price in the future."

Lumian looked down at the floor illuminated by the Blazing White and said, "Okay."

He then asked, "When will Mr. ' The Fool ' be able to begin to awaken?"

"Nobody knows." Lady "Magician" smiled. "But don't be discouraged by this answer. I foresee that we Tarot Cards holders will play a very important role in this matter. Let's work together towards it."

"How should we try?" Lumian pressed.

The "Magician" Lady considered for a moment and said, "First, focus on doing your best, then patiently wait for the right opportunity."

Timing? Lumian couldn't fathom how his Minor Arcana could be connected to awakening Mr. The Fool, so he cautiously inquired, "Lady, was ' The Penitent ' specifically placed on your Messenger List?"

Without the negative influence of Bainfel, he would never have had the chance to see the Lizard- like Elf in the Concealment Church of the "True Creator".

"Yes and no," Lady Magician replied. "I know he has some connection with that That One. I thought our cooperation with the ' Aurora Order ' was fragile, and you were sent Past as an undercover agent rather than actually joining. There might be some problems in the future, and he has the potential to bring new possibilities. That's why I put him on the Messenger List to see if Destiny would make you choose him. I never expected that this would uncover a very important mystery."

Lumian was already used to the "Magician" Lady's charlatan-like answers, and quickly filtered through her previous comments.

He said in a deep voice, "Lady, I'd like to explore Mr. The Hanged Man's ' Blue Avenger ' soon."
