Circle of Inevitability

Chapter 476: Minor Arcana

Views:

Janna told the three "Purifiers" that when she and Charles were investigating the "hostel", they encountered a cyborg monk from the Deep Valley Monastery underground and found that he was carrying a pile of paints and brushes. During further exploration, the two encountered a tunnel collapse with an earthquake-like movement and fell directly into the world in the painting.

"You just fell into the world of the painting?" Imre interrupted Janna's story in disbelief.

Isn't this too coincidental

It's so coincidental that even those best-selling authors dare not write like this!

Valentine whispered to himself: "Is this a miracle from God?"

"Yes, I felt unbelievable at the time." Janna faithfully recreated her state when she first saw the market area in the painting.

Angouleme pressed his right hand down, signaling Imre and Valentine not to ask any more questions and letting Celia Bello continue.

Jannah highlighted Safari and Gabriel's description of the situation in the "hostel", her and Charles' desperate escape, and the attacks by the two goblins and other "rooms".

After determining what "hostel" and "room" represent and what they mean, Valentine's mind moved and he fell into deep thought, and came up with a certain association: "Each 'room' has a 'guest', which is equivalent to having a powerful force hidden in the body, and can leak some of it... ...

"Where have I seen this kind of situation before..."

Pictures and pieces of information flashed through Valentine's mind. He raised his head suddenly and interrupted Janna's story again: "What is Charles' true identity?"

When the "Purifiers" issued the wanted order, they already knew that Charles Dubois was a fake identity that the Savoyard Party helped that guy to get. The staff of the Police Headquarters are currently interrogating the captured Savoyard Party members to see if they know about Charles Dubois's background.

Jenna knew that Charles, who was already wanted, could no longer hide his true identity. After weighing the pros and cons, she smiled and said, "You don't know?"

"His original name is Lumian Li. He is also a wanted criminal from the village of Cordu in the south."

Lumian Lee... Valentine's eyelids twitched, and he found that his guesses and suspicions were correct.

Janna glanced at him and "explained" softly: "Char joined the Savoy Party and the 'Iron Cross' just to obtain resources, improve himself, and seek revenge on those who were gifted by the evil god. He played a very important role in this incident. If it weren't for his investigation, the 'Inn Ceremony' would not have been advanced, and the disaster would have been even more serious.

"Although he always said that this was to deal with those who were blessed by the evil god, I know that he, who has experienced a disaster, does not want to see other innocent people suffer similar things."

Valentine's expression gradually relaxed, and he did not hide his regret and relief.

He sighed and said: "He is indeed a devout believer in God, but unfortunately fate and those evil people pushed him into darkness."

A devout believer... You may have some unnecessary misunderstandings about Charles... Janna muttered silently.

After listening to this, Angouleme laughed at himself and said, "I didn't expect that the one who prevented the disaster from getting bigger last night was a wanted criminal, a member of an evil organization.

"You can still be a hero even if you don't stand in the light."

Jenna agreed with this evaluation. She did not mention that the fairies called Lumian "Room 1". She just said that in order to escape the world in the painting, the two of them entered the darkness corresponding to the location of the Breeze Ballroom after the sun rose, and magically appeared in the wilderness outside Trier in the Fourth Epoch.

She told the Purifiers about the collapsed gray-white stone pillars, the giant figure in the distance, the faked-death General Philip, the black statue of the "Original Witch", Gardner Martin in the mirror, the terrifying roar, the falling sun, the red sky, the falling rain of fire, etc., but she did not go into specific details of the battle.

Angouleme and the others also tacitly did not ask - for wild Beyonders, things that obviously contain important information are intelligence that can be sold for money, but their own abilities and fighting methods must be kept secret.

"Finally, we got the statue and the fragments left by Gardner in the mirror, left the seal, and returned to the normal underground." The first half of Janna's sentence and the second half are not really connected, but putting them together will definitely make people think that this is the reason why they were able to escape from Trier in the Fourth Epoch.

"The complexity of the matter is beyond imagination, and it involves a very high level of power..." Angouleme sighed in a low voice.

They had no idea what the sun that rose from the Sacred Heart Monastery last night was, nor did they understand why it fell into the seal of Trier in the Fourth Epoch. They felt that this should be related to the battle at the angel level.

"Where is the statue and the broken mirror?" asked Valentine eagerly.

"I gave it to Franca." Jannah said the truth that couldn't be more true. Angouleme nodded slightly: "Where is the full body armor?"

This is related to the deaths of two of his former colleagues.

Of course, Gardner Martin's death can be considered a successful "revenge".

"The magic mirror said that there is a terrible betrayal curse. Gardner Martin's experience is proof of this. None of us dared to take it, and finally it was placed with Charles." Even now, even as a "witch", Janna felt that the curse was too outrageous and exaggerated.

Angouleme was silent for a moment and said, "If you meet Charles again, tell him that you can sell the armor to us."

After Jana nodded in agreement, the Purifier's deacon said sternly: "The information you provided is very important. What kind of reward do you want?"

"The formula and all the ingredients for the 'Joy' potion." Janna answered with the idea of first asking a very high price and then slowly negotiating.

This is her experience from years of bargaining.

Angouleme looked at the "witch" and said, "Are you planning to leave the market area as well?"

"Yes." Janna smiled sadly and self-deprecatingly, "Witches will bring disasters. I don't want to affect the people here. No wonder witches in stories always live in dark forests, far away from people. But I will come back occasionally and will still be your informant. You can also continue to contact me using the agreed method."

Her slightly sad smile made Imre instinctively want to look away, afraid of being caught in it.

"Once we confirm the authenticity of your information, we will help you apply for the formula and materials of 'Joy'. I can't guarantee whether it will be successful. We can't decide on items of this level by ourselves. We must get permission from the top." Angouleme made a promise and did not bargain.

After saying goodbye to the "Purifier", Janna carried her suitcase and took a carriage to the Franka safe house in the Memorial Hall area.

After settling herself down, she thought for a moment and decided to go to the Church of the Fool at Lavini Pier to thank this great being for answering her prayers and allowing Charles to enter the world of the painting to provide help.

This was also the beginning of her official belief in Mr. Fool.

In the simple church with clear windows and good light, Janna sat on the edge of the last row of chairs, closed her eyes, clasped her hands, placed them in front of her chest, and bowed her head to pray.

In the tranquility and peace that belonged to a religious place, she seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep, her mind was empty, and she was just praising.

She vaguely felt someone sitting next to her.

Janna ignored it and focused on her prayers.

After a few minutes, she opened her eyes and saw a petite lady next to her who was also praying.

The lady had shoulder-length blond hair and was wearing loose-fitting trousers, a masculine shirt, and a small tan jacket.

Although she had her eyes closed, one could tell from the side that her eyebrow contours and the lines of her mouth and nose were quite delicate. Although she was not tall, she had a calm and dignified temperament.

Noticing Janna's casual gaze, the lady opened her eyes, tilted her head and smiled: "Janna?"

“Yes… you are?” Janna was confused and alert, but she felt that there should be no danger in Mr. Fool’s church.

The lady who looked obviously younger introduced herself: "I am the Two of Cups, which is Franka's Major Arcana card, Judgment.

"I went to Mr. Fool's church to pray today. I didn't expect to meet you. This may be fate. How about drawing a minor Arcana card?"

Sensing the kindness in the other person's tone, Jenna nodded in that kind of convincing aura and said, "I'm happy to do so, Ms. Judgment."

If it was any other Major Arcana card, she would still be worried and afraid instinctively, after all, they were completely unfamiliar strong men. However, she had heard about the two ladies, "Judgement" and "Magician", from Franca and Lumian, and had a natural liking and trust for them.

Judgment took out a stack of tarot cards from the black bag hanging from his waist, cut them a few times, and handed them over with a smile: "Take a draw."

Janna was inexplicably nervous. She looked for a long time before she stretched out her right hand and drew a Minor Arcana card.

As far as she could see, she saw seven cups floating in the mist, and below them were skulls and people looking at them.

"The Seven of Cups." Ms. Judgment laughed. "This represents confusion, bewilderment, dreams, illusions, and choices. Of course, this is not important. What is important is that the two witches in our Tarot Club drew the Holy Grail cards."

As she spoke, she took out another tarot card. On the front was an angel blowing a trumpet to guide the souls of the dead.

The Major Arcana, “Judgment”!

"Keep this card. When you encounter danger that you cannot handle, take it out and recite 'Request for Judgment' in Hermetic language. As long as I am still in Trier, I can give you help. Of course, you must be in Trier when you make the request. Well, except for places like Trier in the Fourth Epoch. I can't hear it." Ms. Judgment said in a calm tone.

"Thank you, Ms. Judgment." Janna took the Major Arcana card and said sincerely.

Judgment nodded and said, "What you need to do now is to cooperate with the Holy Grail II to carry out the Witch Cult's mission, but the direction is different. You need to avoid the Witch Cult and investigate those special mirror worlds. The 'Disaster Witch' Christmenna who fell in the Fourth Epoch is the entry point.

"She is the child of the 'Original Witch', so she is a natural female, a pure female witch, just like you."
