The role of the Lucky Gold Coins
Lumian roughly understood the meaning of the "Magician" Lady's words:
The "Samaritan Woman Spring" water and "Dream Festival" Ancient Tomb soil I collected earlier came with a reward: another Lucky Gold Coin. However, the reward giver would only pay after all the "Samaritan Woman Spring" water and "Dream Festival" Ancient Tomb soil had been used up and their effects confirmed. Furthermore, these items needed to be used in batches with time intervals; they couldn't be consumed all at once—that might actually have negative consequences.
"Do we need to wait a few more days?" Lumian gazed at the golden-red sky and nodded gently. "I understand."
He wasn't in a hurry; things had already been arranged for so long, a few more days wouldn't make a difference.
Lumian further inquired, "How many Lucky Gold Coin are needed to awaken Mr. ' The Fool '?"
"The Lucky Gold Coin is a prop, a medium, not the awakening itself, and there are only five of these Gold Coin in total." The "Magician" Lady no longer answered with riddles, explaining quite clearly, "Once you get the last Lucky Gold Coin, the five of you can use your respective Gold Coin to enter Mr. The Fool's Dream and try to awaken him. Do you understand? The Lucky Gold Coin is the medium that helps you participate in Mr. The Fool's Dream."
"Of course, even with the Lucky Gold Coin, your Sequence doesn't guarantee when you'll enter that Dream, or what you'll do once Dream. We'll need to assist you to ensure you all go at the same time and maintain sufficient clarity and Rationality."
Lumian, her Eyes flickering slightly, and she pursed her lips, saying, "' The Fool's' Dream? We're responsible for waking ' The Fool '?"
"Yes." The "Magician" Lady answered with just one Vocabulary.
She glanced at Lumian's profile, which appeared dreamlike and beautiful in the Twilight, and sighed inwardly.
Lumian frowned slightly:
What do we need to do to wake up Mr. The Fool?
"Didn't the previous Lucky Gold Coin holder enter Mr. The Fool's Dream and make any attempts?"
Why does it have to be just a few of us?
"I don't know exactly what to do to awaken Mr. The Fool," the "Magician" Lady said frankly. "You'll have to figure that out yourselves. We'll give you suggestions based on your feedback."
She paused, then said in a teasing tone, "The previous holders of the Lucky Gold Coin did enter Mr. The Fool's Dream and made many attempts, but they were all discovered by That One Celestial Worthy's spirit, either kicked out of the Dream or had their behavior restricted, unable to do much. One of them, after being kicked out of the Dream for the first time, would be kicked out again within a minute of re-entering the Dream, regardless of whether he pretended or behaved himself."
"You also need to be careful. The initial stage is fine, but if you are discovered and locked onto by That One Celestial Worthy's spirit later on, you will be kicked out of the Dream, or become Mute, blind, or an idiot."
Lumian thought for a moment and said, "Are we the destined ones to awaken Mr. ' The Fool '?"
"Perhaps it is, perhaps it isn't, we can't be sure yet," the "Magician" Lady explained simply. "We can only say that the previous holders of the Lucky Gold Coin might suddenly feel at some moment or in some situation that they should trade the Lucky Gold Coin to Someone; perhaps this is a revelation of Destiny."
Lumian didn't ask any further questions, instead mentioning that he had met all the conditions for accessing Ombella's remains, and concluded by asking, "Can I now apply to New Silver City?"
"I will inform Mr. ' Sun ' for you. Just be prepared." The "Magician" Lady chuckled. "Of course, you can't really take Ombella's remains away. They belong to New Silver City. 'Level 0' Sealed Artifact are extremely valuable anywhere. No one will give them to you without paying the corresponding price."
"What you are allowed to do is to consult the relevant records of City of Silver, and to access and study the items formed from the remains within New Silver City. If you encounter difficulties, you may temporarily borrow the 'Level 0' Sealed Artifact with the approval of the Council of Six ' of New Silver City, and return it within a certain period of time."
"This is already very good," Lumian said sincerely.
According to "007," an Official Beyonder, he needs to submit a report and obtain approval in advance to use "Level 1" Sealed Artifact, and he must also meet certain conditions. As for "Level 0" Sealed Artifact, they are something he can only dream of.
And now, the New Silver City might actually allow me to borrow Ombella's remains for a period of time!
Lumian "habitually" smoothed her hair and told the "Magician" Lady about Termiboros 'Amon reaction when he first learned that the name of the "Great Mother" Formless Divine Child was Ombella, as well as her own speculations.
"This may indeed hold a very large and important secret, and it is related to the Bird Egg Depths the Underworld and the missing ' Night Lady ' Pualis." The "Magician" woman slightly raised her hands, as if to feel the freshness and vigor of the early spring wheat seedlings.
Lumian stopped in front of a pond used for water storage, paused for a few seconds, and then asked, "Lady, what is the true purpose and Termination of Whirlpool Plan?"
The "Magician" Lady recounted everything she knew about the transactions and Change, but because Lumian no longer possessed the False Angel-Level and had lost the seal of Mr. The Fool, she could no longer bear certain knowledge. She uniformly referred to those Great Ones as the Evil God Outside the Barrier, the That One the "Broker" believed in, and the "Great Mother."
Upon hearing that Emperor Roselle Resurrection as the "Black Emperor" and had chosen to die again in order to severely damage That One Great Ones who preached in the name of "Truth," Lumian's expression shifted several times, but he ultimately remained silent.
"I understand how you feel." The "Magician" Lady comforted herself, now a Women, with a self-deprecating Minor Arcana. "I don't like that That One, and I hate what That One person does, but I have to admit that He is indeed preparing our world for the Apocalypse, not just using that as an excuse to do things that only benefit Him. So my feelings are complicated."
Lumian remained silent, his expression icy.
The "Magician" Lady didn't continue discussing this matter. She raised her right hand, causing specks of starlight to appear and fall onto Lumian's left chest, forming an illusory symbol composed of layers upon layers of doors.
The holder of the Major Arcana simply stated, "There's no need to seal the Angel. Simply protecting the Soul Fragments of Aurora and the others is enough for me. There's no need to trouble Mr. The Fool. Moreover, if Mr. The Fool were to seal them, it would actually hinder the gradual revival of Aurora's Soul Fragments through your Women state."
"Well, if you don't want to use the Lucky Gold Coin to enter Mr. ' The Fool's' Dream, we won't force you. I will still help you strengthen the seal periodically."
Lumian gave a wry smile:
"That One has already made the choice for me."
He remained silent for a moment, then his slightly pale lips moved a few times:
"Can being in ' Witch ' form really allow Aurora's Soul Fragments to gradually revive? Is this truly the only way to bring Aurora Resurrection?"
"It's not necessarily the only one; at least I can't give you an accurate judgment. Only Mr. ' The Fool ' can give the corresponding answer." Lady "Magician" neither denied nor confirmed the That One's statement.
Her current knowledge and abilities are insufficient to support her rebuttal.
The only thing she was certain of was:
"This is indeed a way to Resurrection Aurora, but the final Resurrection is not quite complete."
"Why is it that Aurora's Soul Fragments are gradually reviving, and not the Soul Fragments of other villagers? I have many Soul Fragments sealed within me, so why is Aurora's the most special one?" This is the question that Lumian is most worried about now.
The "Magician" Lady said, "Aurora's Soul Fragments simultaneously meet three conditions: first, she is Beyonder who has undergone spiritual transformation through Beyonder Characteristic; second, she is Corruption by the power of Fate; and third, at the end of the Ritual, her Soul Fragments were protected by that That One or several individuals, and are in relatively better condition, the kind that can gradually recover."
"Therefore, her Soul Fragments is indeed the most unique among all the Soul Fragments within you. The rest of your Soul Fragments may only exist as Marionette soldiers, half-human and half-animal, when you become Angel through the ' Hunter ' Pathway."
Lumian pondered for a moment and said, "If I were Beyonder through one of the three Pathway of the ' Great Mother,' I wouldn't doubt that Aurora's Soul Fragments could gradually revive within me, but the ' Witch ' doesn't have this symbol of Rebirth..."
"But the ' Witch ' has the Authority of Resurrection. Have you forgotten that one of the descriptions of the ' Witch of Unaging ' is that she is unpredictable and difficult to kill, and skilled in Resurrection and Rebirth?" the "Magician" Lady reminded her.
Lumian quietly exhaled and said, "If I continue to advance to become an ' Witch of Unaging,' will the revival effect of Aurora's Soul Fragments be even better?"
The "Magician" Lady chuckled, "There's no need to deliberately pursue it. You can still obtain all the abilities and traits of the ' Witch of Unaging ' by jumping to Sequence 2 of the ' Witch Pathway,' unless you find a way to separate the corresponding ' Unaging ' Beyonder Characteristic yourself."
Seeing Lumian nod slightly, the "Magician" Lady smiled and asked, "As Half-God who has changed his Pathway, you should now have some special, hybrid abilities, right?"
Lumian hummed in agreement and said, "The most unique ability is the use of Flames."
"On the one hand, I can use the ' Hunter's' Blazing White Flame and the ' Witch's ' own Black Flame separately, and on the other hand, I can make them merge together and explode. This can physically destroy people and objects, and also ignite spirituality, Burning the Spirit Body, and damage and destroy a target from all directions."
"Yes, after the fusion of the ' Witch of Despair ' Beyonder Characteristic and the ' Hunter ' Pathway Beyonder Characteristic, new Mysticism knowledge emerged, calling this black Flames, which suppresses rage and madness, ' the Flames of Destruction '."
