The Little Cow Café provides breakfast, lunch and dinner for clerks in the nearby blocks at very affordable prices. Even during the busiest night market, each guest can enjoy a rich and filling set meal for only 1 filkine. Many hotel waiters, restaurant handymen and cleaning ladies who earn 60 to 80 filkines a month come here alone or with their families every two or three weeks to enjoy and reward themselves.
When Lumian arrived, the busy breakfast time was over. There were almost no customers in the cafe, and the few waiters seemed lazy and not very enthusiastic.
After ordering a cup of Makal coffee brewed with crushed coffee beans, Lumian sat down at the agreed seat and waited patiently for "Hela".
As the cuckoo clock in the cafe chimed, a woman pushed the door open.
She was wearing a very unique black dress, which had a mysterious charm but was also similar to the daily wear of widows.

Seeing the lady figure out the direction and walk straight towards him, Lumian sat up straight and looked at her carefully: her skin was very white, so white that it didn't look natural, as if she hadn't been exposed to the sun for a long time; her hair was light blonde, draped naturally, soft but lacking luster; her eyes seemed to absorb all the light, so that they appeared dark and her original pupil color could not be seen; her facial features were all quite good when viewed individually, but they did not leave Lumian with a clear impression of her appearance, which seemed to be affected by her cold temperament and could not form a real whole.
The lady's cold temperament was not the kind of indifference that kept people from approaching her, but a real coldness that seemed to emanate from her bones, lowering the temperature around her a little.
Before Lumi'an could observe more details, the lady sat opposite him and asked in a cold voice: "Muggle's brother?"
Although he had guessed that this person was Ms. "Hela", Lumian was still a little surprised.
He didn't expect the other party to show up without any disguise, and didn't seem to worry about being betrayed at all.
Lumian didn't use the "Face of Nether" and "Secret Glasses" at this time, but he usually did basic disguise. With his blond and black hair color and relatively simple makeup, he maintained a certain difference from Lumian Lee on the wanted poster.
It might be a disguise, but I can't tell... Lumian smiled and nodded, "Ms. Hela?"
The lady nodded slightly, acknowledging her identity.
"Would you like something to drink?" Lumian asked politely.
Hella was not polite at all: "One glass of absinthe, one glass of triple espresso."
Drinking strong liquor at 10 am, which is comparable to what I have... and also asked for a triple espresso Lime coffee...
Did he not sleep last night? Or did he drink too much and use the stimulation of absinthe to sober up? Lumian raised his right hand, snapped his fingers, and called the waiter.
After placing the light green liquid and a small cup of Lime espresso in front of Hela, Lumian looked around to make sure it was safe to communicate.
Gurgle… “Hela” drank half a glass of absinthe in one gulp, and her unnaturally pale face finally showed some color.
She put down her wine glass and pinched a ring on her right middle finger between her left thumb and index finger.

The ring was plain in design, with a black, faceted diamond set in a sterling silver base.
As Hela gently turned the ring, Lumian suddenly felt the surroundings become quieter and the light seemed to dim.
“No one will hear our conversation now.” Hela’s voice also had that cold feeling.
Very impressive... This performance is much better than Franka's. She is worthy of being one of the members of the Curly-Haired Baboon Research Society who has gone the furthest on the path of God... Lumian looked at Hela's dark eyes that seemed to absorb all light, and said calmly:
"I have gained some new insights during this period."
"Hela" didn't say anything, but looked at Lumian quietly, waiting for him to continue.
"I caught Guillaume Bennet." Lumian said this without any boasting, just like the bartender at the Breeze Ballroom saying that he had just mixed a cocktail.
"Hela" showed no emotion and just nodded. She had no interest in the details of how Lumian captured Guillaume Bene.
Lumian used Guillaume Bene as the starting point to talk about "Muggles", that is, Auror's changes and various anomalies, including the appearance of the lizard-like elf and the name Roche Louise Sanson.
Finally, he pulled out a stack of papers:
"This is the witchcraft notebook my sister wrote three months before the belief in fate began to spread in Koldu Village. Take a look and see if there is anything wrong with it."
Throughout the whole process, Hela listened very attentively, but her emotions and expressions rarely fluctuated. She only frowned when she heard the lizard-like elf appear again and said her name was "Louise Sanson".
"Hela", who remained silent, flipped through the witchcraft notes at a very fast speed. It seemed that she could grasp the corresponding mystical knowledge and determine whether there were any problems just by browsing them.
After five or six minutes, she pulled out a page of notes.
That was exactly the "Soul-Calling Technique" recorded by Aurore.

Only the members of the Curly-Haired Baboon Research Society, only those who have shared the same experience, can see the problem at a glance... Lumian suddenly felt a little sad.
"Hela" picked up the absinthe again and poured all the green liquid that sparkled with a dreamy light into her mouth.
After she finished drinking, she looked at Lumian and said
"What do you think of lizard-like elves?"
"I heard that there has been a popular legend in recent years that the kingdom of heaven has exiled a group of elves, and some of them seem to look like transparent lizards." Lumian did not mention the symbolic meaning interpreted by Mr. "Poet" and used the statement of the official investigator Ryan.
Hela's face was a little rosier than before, and the cold feeling had subsided a little:
“I have some knowledge about those elves and have studied some of their situations.
“They were not banished from heaven, but more likely came from another dimension. When certain folk legends became closer and closer to certain things in another dimension, over time, the latter had a chance to pass through the spirit world and descend to earth.
"This is just my personal speculation for now and has not been confirmed. I just want to tell you that I have done quite in-depth research on the elf phenomenon in recent years, and I have personally seen elves that look like transparent lizards, but they are not quite the same as the lizard-like transparent creatures you described."
"Not a real elf?" Lumian was not too surprised by this statement. After all, Ryan and others were just guessing, while Mr. "Poet" thought that it was more like a representative of another force.
"Hela" did not explain too much, but nodded in affirmative response: "I will pay attention to whether there are similar images in the elf legends of other places."
After that, she turned the page with "Soul Summoning" written on it half a circle and pushed it in front of Lumian: "Your sister's problem may lie here."
Lumian's eyes showed that he was waiting for an explanation.
He also wanted to see what Hela would say about this matter. She would not directly reveal the biggest secret of the Curly-Haired Baboon Research Society like Franka did.
"Hela" said in a cold voice: "I have had a lot of contact with your sister, and I know that she has always had some psychological problems, which come from her original family.

“Her original family seemed to be very abnormal. Your sister had to stay away from them and hide in the border mountain village, just like you gradually discovered that Koldu Village was becoming more and more abnormal and wanted to escape. That’s why I suggested that you investigate in this direction.
"And if you use the 'Soul Summoning Technique' recorded on this page of notes on yourself, it is very likely that your sister's psychological problems will turn into mental illness and she will develop a true split personality."
"You mean to say that Rosie Louise Sanson is my sister's split personality? The source of fatalistic belief is her original family?" Lumian asked thoughtfully.
Without revealing the biggest secret of the Curly-Haired Baboon Research Society, this seems to be the most reasonable explanation, but Ms. "Magician" also believes that split personality is one of the reasons, or part of the reason.
"Hella" took a sip of triple espresso Lim coffee:
"It may be more complicated than split personality and involve some strange mystical phenomena. This is up to you to investigate later."
Lumian nodded and asked in a deep voice: "Is there anything wrong with the April Fools' member who sold the Soul Summoning Technique to my sister? Did he foresee that a similar split personality would occur?"
Hela was silent for a few seconds before saying:
"I suspect it, but I'm not sure. I'll try to investigate, but it may take a long time. As you know, the organization of the research institute is very loose, and those people from April Fools' Day are not close to me."
"I understand." Lumian had heard similar words from Franka.
"Hela" glanced at him, thought for a moment and said:
"In fact, you are the most suitable person to investigate this matter. Unfortunately, you do not have the corresponding qualifications."
"Why do you say that?" Lumian asked in astonishment.
He was well-known in Cordu Village for his open-minded thinking and his ability to play pranks, but he never thought that he could be responsible for investigating this matter. He thought that the most he could do was to assist Franka.
Hela's tone remained cold:

"If you have the extraordinary ability to change your appearance at the flesh and blood level, you can completely become a 'Muggle' and participate in various gatherings of the research association as her.
"Then you can observe which members of April Fools' Day are surprised that nothing went wrong with the Muggles and show abnormal behavior. You can also use yourself as bait to try to lure out the person with a dark purpose."
I became Aurore and became a member of the Curly-Haired Baboon Research Society under the code name "Muggle"? Lumian never thought it would be possible.
He frowned and said, "Even if I have a transformation item, I can't play the role of my sister, especially within your research institute?"
He is not from another world, he doesn't know many things, how can he communicate with others
Maybe a sentence or two will reveal it!
