Within Rented Apartment.
Jenna cleared the table, picked up the soy milk and meat buns specially left for Franca, and said to Ludwig next to him, "You can read and study."
Ludwig's expression changed a few times, and he argued with reason. "What is the use of my study?"
"If you want to master knowledge, eat scientists; if you want to master abilities, eat Beyonder!"
Jenna smiled lightly and said, "Studying is indeed not important to you, but it is important for us to let you study."
"..." Jenna was so frank that Ludwig, who was already clumsy, had no way to respond.
Jenna thought about it for a while and then said, "Although we don't know the specific process, and you must have forgotten it, the fact that you were sealed by Church of Knowledge was as solid as steel. What is the biggest difference between you and Church of Knowledge Clergy? It is the attitude of learning!"
Ludwig was a little confused after being told that. He reluctantly and helplessly sat down at the table and spread out his textbook.
Jenna returned to Master Bedroom's room and closed the door.
Franca struggled to sit up and stuffed a pillow behind his back. He lowered his voice and said, "You are fooling Ludwig again. If you want to defeat Church of Knowledge by learning, you are competing with the other party on the track they are best at and under their favorite rules. How can you win? The best way is to use your own strengths."
"Hey, 'Witch' is really good at deceiving people."
Many "Witch" have had the experience of deceiving others' feelings to digest "Pain" Potion, and a few of them also invested themselves in it, and finally had to be separated cruelly, so they also had the part of themselves that was Pain.
Jenna laughed:
"You have to find a reason for him, and he just wants to find a reason."
Jenna paused and said thoughtfully, "Besides, I think studying is still useful for Ludwig. You saw it during the battle last night. He looked exactly like Monster. But the details of our daily interactions make me feel that apart from being able to eat, loving to eat, and having to eat, he is a normal little boy in other aspects."
"This is due to Church of Knowledge's seal, and it should also be due to the fact that he brought about changes through learning and mastering rules, morals, and common sense in human society."
While talking, Jenna brought the plastic cup of soy milk to Franca's mouth and let her take a sip. Then he handed the meat bun to Past and watched her bite into the stuffing part.
Franca had never enjoyed such treatment before, and his heart suddenly became very happy.
She nodded thoughtfully:
"You mean, learning is one of the ways to integrate Ludwig into human society, and learning gave him some Humanity?"
"Yes." Jenna fed Franca breakfast and chatted with her casually. At the end, he wiped Franca's mouth clean with a wet tissue and washed his face.
After doing these things, Jenna took the garbage out Master Bedroom.
After being busy for dozens of seconds, she sat next to Ludwig, as if supervising her child's study.
After looking at it for a while, she took out two packages of things from "Traveler’s Bag" and placed them on the table.
Those were two bags of poorly packaged rice dumplings.
While Ludwig looked over in astonishment, Jenna said with a smile, "If you can pass my assessment later, they will be yours."
"Do you like spicy or plain?"
"I like them all!" Ludwig buried his head again, his eyes extremely focused.
"I prefer the original flavor." Jenna tore open the package, stuffed two pieces into his mouth, and started chewing.
Ludwig looked at her blankly, his mouth half-opened, his expression blank.
Isn't this my reward?
"Before you finish studying, I'll eat something first. Don't worry, I'll save some for you." Jenna smiled.
Master Bedroom Franca on the bed couldn't help laughing when he heard such a conversation.
She suddenly thought that although Jenna usually behaves very maturely, in terms of actual age, she is actually a girl who has just graduated from college. It is normal for such a girl to like snacks, and now she finally has such an opportunity.
The smile on Franca's face gradually softened, and a new conversation came from the living room outside:
"This is corn soup-flavored puffed food."
"These are cucumber-flavored potato chips."
"These are chocolate wafer cookies."
"..."
"The quantity of these snacks is not large, because they are not as cheap as Staple Food, but they are all prepared for you as a reward for you to study hard and take exams."
"You, eat less! I will work hard!"
Franca leaned on the pillow and slowly had a strange feeling:
He is a father who is recuperating from illness, and outside he is a child who is greedy and tired of learning, and a mother who supervises the children to do their homework.
If you ignore the words "Corpse finger is also your reward today", the daily life of a family of three is really warm and beautiful.
Beep! Beep! Beep!
The horn kept sounding behind and to the side of Gray Car, urging Lumian to drive faster, but Lumian was calm and composed, completely ignoring the noise around him and letting the vehicle move forward steadily at the lowest speed allowed on the current road section.
Novice drivers, safety first!
Anthony was sitting in the passenger seat, scrolling through his phone and reading local news.
"What are you looking for?" Lumian glanced at his companion from the corner of his eye.
Anthony should not be addicted to the Internet yet, after all, he has just learned to surf the Internet.
Anthony turned his head and said solemnly, "I still feel that there are a few details in last night's battle that are getting more and more wrong the more I think about them."
"For example?" Lumian focused on driving.
Anthony considered it and said, "The second one, Security Guard, who self-destructed, his state before the explosion was very similar to 'Marionettist' himself, but he self-destructed just like that."
"The ability of Marionette to swap positions with the main body? Do you suspect that there was indeed a Half-God level 'Marionettist' assisting Celestial Worthy's Marionette at the scene??" Lumian understood what Anthony wanted to express, "But we paid attention to the situation within a few dozen meters and did not find any traces. Could it be that That One The 'Marionettist' at the Half-God level is in a state where we can't see, hear, or touch?"
"This is the scariest thing. If there really is such a 'Marionettist', why didn't he save Resurrection's female corpse later, and why didn't he spread our appearance and image characteristics to the public?" Anthony returned his attention to the mobile phone.
Lumian nodded slowly and said, "Are you checking the reports and private rumors about last night's incident to see if any of our information has been leaked?"
"Yes." Anthony's finger kept sliding on the screen, "The current rumor is that a conflict at work led one of Security Guard to get Detonator, killing his colleagues and himself..."
Anthony Before he finished speaking, he suddenly stopped.
He frowned slightly:
"I saw a strange local news. This morning, a Madman was found near the garbage dump near Bright Moon Mall. There was no Madman that Rationality couldn't communicate with. Then, he was sent to the hospital for treatment."
"Near the shopping mall? Madman?" Lumian also noticed the strangeness of this news and asked keenly, "Which hospital were you sent to?"
Could this Madman be the That One"Marionettist" that Concealment got up last night?
Did he not intervene in the subsequent battle because something happened to him?
What happened? Why did it happen?
"The news didn't talk about it." Anthony continued to generate reports on this aspect.
Lumian maintained the speed and took another ten minutes to reach the destination.
After finding a parking space and parking the car with difficulty, he and Anthony walked to "Star Dream General Store" at the corner of the street.
There were no lights on in this store, and it was narrow and dark inside. The moment Lumian entered, it was like going from morning to night.
He glanced at the tall shelves filled with strange products on both sides, and walked to Checkout Counter in the innermost corner.
Checkout Counter There was a woman in a black dress sitting behind her. She was leaning against the wooden cabinet at the back, playing with her mobile phone with her head down. There was a tablet playing TV series right in front of her.
Lumian said politely, "Hello, I want to send a letter."
He actually said in a grocery store that he was here to mail a letter.
The woman in black skirt who was playing with her mobile phone didn't find it strange and asked without raising her head, "Where to send it and to whom?"
"Send to Church of Tranquility, send to Leonard Mitchell Senior Deacon." Lumian took out the letter addressed to Major Arcana.
The woman in the black dress was still looking at her mobile phone and said in a gentle and calm voice, "There is a black Mailbox with silver on the right shelf Third Layer. Just put the letter in it."
"Come and get your reply tomorrow."
"Thank you." Lumian breathed a sigh of relief and turned to the shelf.
What he saw at a glance was not a toy Mailbox, but a brass-like book and a silver Mirror with black eyeballs on both sides.
Lumian quickly scanned it and found classical quill pens, various strange dices and other products. If Shop Owner were not playing with his mobile phone or looking at his tablet, he would have felt like he had returned to the real world, back to Trier.
The style of these items is not the same as Dream City, more like Northern Continent!
After putting the letter into the silver-encrusted toy Mailbox, Lumian turned sideways and asked Shop Owner:
"Can I see the merchandise here?"
Shop Owner's voice brought a hint of smile:
"These are all for sale."
Can it be sold? As a "Witch", Lumian first picked up the Silver Mirror with an ancient pattern and a black gem on each side.
Among Mirror, the face of Lumian quickly emerged:
Eyes Light blue, clear and deep, the face is slightly thin, almost perfect, the lips are neither thick nor thin, the color is light but moist, with a hint of light...
This is his Women image.
It directly showed my "Witch" state... There is indeed something magical about this Mirror... As soon as Lumian had this thought, he saw Waterlight swaying on the surface of Mirror, outlining rows of Old Feysac of Blood-Colored. Vocabulary:
"I am the great Arrodes, I can answer any of your questions, but you must also answer an equal number of my questions, witnessed by at least one Spectator.
"If you refuse to answer or lie, you will be punished."
Arrodes, the great Arrodes? Lumian knows this name.
Franca mentioned that this is the magic mirror belonging to Mr. "The Fool". It answers questions most accurately, but every question it asks will cause social death to Mr. Divination.
Mr. "The Fool"'s magic mirror was actually located in this grocery store in his dream? What does this mean and what does it symbolize? Lumian couldn't help but look at Shop Owner again, the woman in black dress playing with her mobile phone.
After some deliberation, Lumian said calmly, "My question is, what do you want to remind you about waking up Mr. 'The Fool'?"
