The "magician", wearing a white bow-tie shirt and a beige long skirt, cast his gaze towards the terrifying tornado connecting the sky and the earth. There were sparkles in his eyes, as if there was a starry sky hidden in them.
"Fomunda Soran is indeed a Sequence 1 'Conqueror'. No wonder he was able to influence generations of Soran family members after he lost control and went underground. No wonder the Soran family, which was still a royal family at the time, quickly declined." The "Magician" sighed.
Justice said curiously, "I don't know what role the former leaders of the Secret Order, Zaratul and Emperor Roselle, played in causing Fomonda Soran to go crazy and enter Trier in the Fourth Epoch. The Soran branch that holds the Level 0 Seal has always stubbornly believed that they murdered Fomonda, which directly led to the Conqueror's loss of control. The former also deliberately left a prophecy to mislead generations of Soran family members."
The Magician laughed and said, "According to the information Lumian has collected and my research on the seal, the problem deep in the underground maze of Red Swan Castle is not something that Zaratul and Emperor Roselle can create. Only the Weather Warlock and the Conqueror can resonate with the anomalies in Trier in the Fourth Epoch day after day and create dangerous changes in the corresponding places. Zaratul and Emperor Roselle should just be taking advantage of the problems that already exist in Red Swan Castle and Vermonda Soran."
As he spoke, the Major Arcana of the Tarot Club withdrew his gaze from the tornado that was sweeping across the sky and earth, and looked towards Trier of the Fourth Epoch, which was shrouded in a thin gray mist.
The starlight in her eyes did not fade away, as if she was searching for something and locating the next target, instead of suddenly stopping to chat at the critical moment when every second counted.
Justice nodded slightly and said, "If it were me, after becoming an angel, I would never set foot in Trier again, in order to avoid being affected by the underground anomaly to the greatest extent possible. Fomonda Soran has lived in Red Swan Castle for a long time regardless of the hidden dangers. He must have a strong desire for certain things in Trier in the Fourth Epoch."
"Didn't the Soran family build the White Maple Palace outside of Trier? The royal family members before Fomonda all lived there and rarely returned to Trier." The "Magician" said that the Soran family actually knew about this problem. She then added, "Zaratul should have played a significant role in the matter of Fomonda Soran. You know, he is the archangel of the 'Fortune Teller' path. Without his 'help', even if Fomonda Soran was a 'Conqueror', it would not be so easy to create a seal leak. Trier, which entered the Fourth Epoch after losing control, was different from previous years. The seal was still very effective and did not need to be modified."
Justice thought for a moment and said, "I am more curious about who designed the 'Inn Ritual'. His use of the mystical laws of similarity and loopholes is very similar to that of the high-ranking 'Fortune Teller', 'Apprentice' and 'Thief'. Or maybe he is an extraordinary person who has had long-term contact with these high-ranking people and is good at learning from them."
"Perhaps the path corresponding to the 'Dead' is also good at this, perhaps there is the secret influence of that Heavenly Venerable, or maybe that person wants to use the brief opening of the seal to do something. You know, the 'Iron-Blooded Cross' used to believe in him, so it would be too easy for him to provide some guidance." The "Magician" didn't know which the answer was for a moment.
Stars kept flickering in her eyes, and it was difficult for her to observe and locate the various situations in the thin gray fog.
While observing Trier in the Fourth Epoch, the Magician introduced to Justice: "The seal level of the catacombs corresponds to this place."
"The core of the place is the 'Woman of Samaria Spring'. This is the place where the 'Blood Emperor' Alistair Tudor fell. The imperial palace that has actually been destroyed and the area around it are full of pollution from all kinds of dangerous things. The remaining divine power is insignificant and will be swallowed up. Sigh, every time I talk about similar things, I feel that I should learn more swear words. Only in this way can I express my feelings about the madness of the 'Blood Emperor'.
"So, you won't see anything from here. When you get closer, you will notice that Mr. Fool's gray fog is getting thicker and thicker, and has become more substantial.
"The fourth and third layers of the catacombs correspond to the Fourth Epoch Trier, excluding that area. There is also a lot of pollution and residual divine power. When passing through certain places, you must abide by the corresponding rules, otherwise the angels will perish.
"The wilderness outside the gray fog corresponds to the two upper layers of the catacombs. Humans can move around here to a certain extent, but with the presence of Fomonda Soran, the danger level is as high as that of Trier in the Fourth Epoch. Just as the "magician" said this, the place where the weather changed drastically, and the crazy and terrifying roars sounded again.
The invisible flame that provided light to the area and covered the entire "sky" seemed to be affected as well, and a huge vortex appeared.
In the vortex, invisible and transparent flames fell from the sky and hit the wilderness, like a huge straight sword piercing through the sky and the earth.
With this movement, the earth trembled more violently, and a large number of cracks burning with flames extended further towards the Quaternary Trier shrouded in gray fog.
The "magician" was not affected and stared at the magnificent yet ruined city for a long time.
Then, she said to Justice, "Let's go in."
"Justice" hummed and had no opinion.
Both of them tacitly did not mention the out-of-control archangel, "Conqueror", Fomonda Soran, and did not consider joining the battle group to seize the extraordinary characteristics.
For them, the main purpose of the Tarot Club in this matter is to prevent the evil god's gifted ones from approaching the innermost seal, lest they find a way to let the danger inside leak out and affect Trier on the ground and the entire world.
In addition, find the Minor Arcana cards lost here and bring them out.
As for the "Conqueror" extraordinary characteristic that represents the archangel and Sequence 1, as long as it does not fall into the hands of the evil god's believers, it is not a particularly serious problem no matter who gets it. If there is nothing wrong, then the "Magician" does not mind going over to watch and see if there is a chance to take advantage. But now, she is not a high-ranking person in the "Thief" path. She can't split into many and participate in every battlefield.
Although she could achieve a similar effect by running back and forth, she had to at least respect Mr. Fool's gray fog and the core seal of Trier in the Fourth Epoch, which would definitely have corresponding restrictions.
Stars lit up, and the figures of "Magician" and "Justice" disappeared from the spot, while the thin gray mist covering Trier in the Quaternary Epoch began to ripple slightly.
As soon as the head of "Gardner Martin" that had placed itself on Olson's headless body finished speaking, a large number of white fireballs condensed around it, and they rushed towards Gardner Martin who was injured in the chest.
Amid the rumbling sound of the explosion, the figure of Gardner Martin in silver-white armor suddenly disappeared.
He reappeared in a corner of the ruins only after the shock wave subsided.
He then saw that the other "self" had merged into the blazing white flame spear, and immediately entered the thin gray mist and disappeared into the unplanned building complex of Trier in the Fourth Epoch.
Gardner Martin's eyes narrowed slightly, and just as he was about to catch up, he heard a violent and angry roar from afar.
His whole body froze instantly, and the blood vessels on the surface of his face under the mask stood out in dark red, as if flames were flowing inside.
Gardner Martin instinctively turned around and ran towards the tornado that was like the messenger of doom in the distance.
His eyebrows began to move, and a faint red color appeared.
Gardner Martin finally got himself under control, let out a long breath, and returned to normal.
He looked at the direction where the other "self" was fleeing, and whispered self-deprecatingly: "The harsh words and all-out attack just now were for a better escape? As expected of me.
"You also know that if you fail to assassinate me, you will definitely be killed by me if you stay here?"
Gardner Martin whispered as he took out a potion bottle made of dark glass. The liquid inside seemed to be grass-green.
He unscrewed the lid and drank half the bottle of potion. The wound on his chest began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This is a healing potion made by a lady from the "Night Party", which Gardner Martin obtained from Philip.
Philip, who had united many evil cults, had no shortage of similar items, but under the "Storm of Light" just now, the containers that were not strong enough were shattered.
After putting away the remaining half bottle of potion, Gardner Martin, wearing a silver-white full-body armor, also walked into the light gray fog and into Trier in the Fourth Epoch.
In the recesses of narrow streets, behind collapsed buildings.
Franca hissed and agreed with Lumian's guess: "Yes, this is a veritable relic of the war between gods, and it is even more dangerous. It is entirely possible that the entire city is full of diseases."
She suspected that the closer they got to the place where the "Blood Emperor" Alistair Tudor fell, the weirder and more terrifying the diseases became. Some of the diseases seemed to be bred from the rotting corpses of gods. Not to mention the low- and middle-sequence extraordinary people whose bodies were not fundamentally different from those of ordinary humans, even saints and angels would probably be infected and die from the "disease".
At this point, Franca hesitated for a moment and said to Janna: "How about you give the black statue to Anthony for safekeeping? It might be dangerous for you to keep it, and he can use that item to create his own 'mirror double', effectively increasing the probability of survival."
Franka always felt that it was not a good thing for a female "witch" like Janna to hold the statue of the "Original Witch", no matter whether it was the original one or the mirror image.
Without waiting for Jana to respond, Lumian said in a low voice: "It's better for Jana to take it. She has the lucky gold coin."
"That's right..." Just as Franca finished her words, she heard a jingling sound not far away.
It sounded like a bicycle bell, but clearer and longer.
