Lord of the Mysteries 2: Circle of Inevitability

Although he did not completely believe in Thermipolos, Lumian was still a little curious about the so-called destiny.

The last time Thermipolos used "encounter", he was referring to the piece of earth blood ore, but this time it couldn't be the little boy Ludwig, right?

There is something wrong with this guy and he is not normal enough. But after Lumian communicated with him for a while, apart from confirming his origin, his IQ and his superficial belief in the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom", there was no real gain. , and could not see the possible future development. Unlike the earth blood ore, he clearly knew that as long as he took it underground and found the right area, he would have a chance to encounter something.

The majestic voice of Thermipolos echoed in Lumian's body again: "You will naturally know when the time comes."

"Can't you guys speak clearly?" Lumian felt his blood pouring into his head.

"I am not a human being." Thermipolos answered Lumian's "question" in the simplest words, "I am a mythical creature." "

"..." Lumian was almost speechless and forcefully sneered, "I even doubt whether you, who is sealed, can truly see your destiny and predict the future. Every time you give a very vague reply with multiple explanations, , what is the difference between them and those amateur players in the Divination Club? If you have the ability, just tell me clearly where my next opportunity to play is!"

Thermipolos replied with a rich voice: "At 11 o'clock tonight, Lister Pier, Warehouse No. 3."

Ah? Lumian didn't expect that Thermipolos actually gave a hint.

This made him stunned, and he reflexively had a lot of doubts: "Is the angel of fate so kind? www.youxs.org

"As a high-ranking mendicant monk, he should not be provoked so easily and inspired to interpret fate..."

"Is there a hidden purpose?

"No matter what, let's ask Ms. Magic for her opinion."

Lumian quickly made a decision, stood up, left the Breeze Ballroom, and walked towards White Coat Street.

With another simple "arson" on the material level, he can initially digest the magic potion and consider obtaining the gift of the "contracted person". It is inevitable that he is a little anxious, but no matter how anxious he is, he cannot relax his guard against Thermipolos.

White Coat Street, inside the safe house.

Lumian wrote down the details of the little boy Ludwig and Thermipolos' reminder on paper, then arranged the ceremony and summoned the doll-like messenger.

While waiting for Ms. "Magician" to reply, he looked through the pile of information on spiritual creatures and found that just reading the descriptions of certain knowledge in silence consumed a lot of his spiritual energy, and some even caused dizziness. , nausea, irritability, headache, burning and other feelings and certain hallucinations.

This is somewhat similar to what Aurore's witchcraft notes say: "Detailed knowledge of gods and certain high-level creatures is inherently highly polluting and extremely dangerous"... If the pursuit of human knowledge is It was like this. It was really scary. After hearing this, he might no longer be himself, or he might die on the spot... Lumian had to watch for a while and rest for a while to prevent his mental state from slipping to the edge of danger.

After looking at thirty or forty kinds of spiritual creatures, he discovered a familiar face: "The Rabbit of Knowledge."

"Weak spiritual creatures, friendly to humans, with a natural desire for knowledge, rarely refuse summons.

"Different Knowledge Rabbits" will have certain differences due to the different knowledge they are exposed to. The common points are that they are proficient in multiple languages, can speak and write, have good reading skills, can extract key points from a large amount of knowledge, and can copy extremely quickly. , better than a mechanical typewriter.

"Problem: Poor communication skills, dull thinking, and some Knowledge Rabbits' have been contaminated by exposure to abnormal knowledge and have become quite dangerous. If you want to summon them, they must be friendly and weak."

It turns out that its full name is "Rabbit of Knowledge". If I summon this creature in the future, the direction will be clearer... However, its abilities and characteristics are useless. If I go to college as Aurore expected, "Proficient in multiple languages" and "good reading ability" are not bad... The lack of description of the speed of its travel through the spiritual world shows that it has no value in this aspect. It is slow and consumes a lot of spiritual energy... Lumian put down the information and rubbed it Place your temples on both sides and start the third rest.

At this time, the "Doll" messenger finally sent a reply from Ms. "Magician":

"I'm also curious about what opportunities the boy named Ludwig can bring. I'm not sure why he came to Trier. This remains to be seen, and it may be important.

“What you need to do is watch out for him, and his existence itself is somewhat interesting.

"Go ahead, I saw that acting opportunity too."

Can't you people speak clearly... Lumian's mouth twitched after reading the brief reply.

However, he could feel that Ms. Magician's first paragraph did not seem to be a response to him, but closer to a condensed reflection of her own thinking process.

In other words, Ms. "Magician" with the ability of astrology cannot clearly see Ludwig's fate and can only have certain doubts.

And the fact that she "cannot see destiny clearly" can itself explain a lot of problems.

...

At 10:50 in the middle of the night, Lister Pier, outside Warehouse No. 3.

Lumian hid in the shadows, waiting for the so-called acting opportunity to come.

Not long after, two figures approached the warehouse and walked to a place only five or six meters away from Lumian.

One of them lowered his voice and said anxiously: "Hector, people from the accounting firm are coming to check the accounts tomorrow, what should we do?

"Should we find a thief and steal all the ledgers?"

"What's the use? They knew we had a problem as soon as they saw it in the warehouse, and what was left was less than one-tenth of what it should be." Héctor's tone gradually became fierce, "If you want to do it, then why If you don’t do it thoroughly, burn the entire warehouse? In that case, who will know if there is anything wrong with the accounts?”

I see... Lumian, who was listening carefully, probably understood where the opportunity for acting was.

Seeing his companion's hesitation, Hector said again:

"Fires happen frequently in Trier, and everyone is used to it. Moreover, we don't have to set fires ourselves. There are many gangsters in the market area. When the time comes, give them a sum of money and let them leave Trier.

"Honoré, there can be no further delay. You have to make a decision now."

Honoré was silent for a while and said fiercely: "Okay! Let's go find Guy now and let him come with us!"

The two quickly circled the warehouse, checked the specific situation, and then walked towards the dock, looking for the colleague named Guy.

After walking a few dozen meters, they suddenly felt that the sky became brighter and redder, and they heard the crackling sound of burning in their ears.

Honoré and Héctor subconsciously turned around and looked to the rear, only to see that the area just now was ignited with blazing flames. The red flames spread their teeth and claws, leaping up and engulfing the building.

"It's on fire, it's on fire..." Hector murmured to himself first, and then his face showed joy, "It's on fire, there's really a fire! Praise the sun, there's really a fire!"

Honoré also had a similar reaction. He raised his right hand, drew the triangular holy symbol on his chest, and muttered something.

After a brief moment of ecstasy, Honoré realized something was wrong.

He said with a trembling voice: "It's not the warehouse that's on fire, it's our office!"

Their office is a gray two-story simple house a few meters away from the warehouse.

There is a blank space between that building and the warehouse, with no combustibles.

"..." Hector showed a look of fear, gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go and set the warehouse on fire now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, an explosion occurred where the red flames burned.

The explosion was not powerful, but the rumbling sound still spread, attracting the attention of sailors and firefighters on the dock.

"It's on fire! It's on fire!" The voices suddenly kept coming, and people began to run in this direction. As a city with the most fires in the northern continent, Trier's firefighters have a very mature process for handling similar things.

Hector and Honoré, who had not yet had time to approach Warehouse No. 3, saw this and collapsed on the roadside, losing all their strength.

Pier entrance area.

Albus, whose hair seemed to be dyed a little red, withdrew his gaze from the fiercely burning flames and turned to the middle-aged man standing next to him: "Mr. Guy, your colleague is more anxious than you."

The man named Guy turned pale and shook his head blankly: "It's not the warehouse that was burned..."

Albus was silent for a moment and said with a sneer: "I just reminded you that hesitation will only bring surprises.

"You can now consider how to escape. I hope you won't hesitate anymore."

Lumian stood next to the simple two-story house, raised his head slightly, and looked at the exaggerated flames that had swallowed up combustible materials such as wood and turned into an illusory dragon. His face reflected a bright red, and his eyes were full of jumping light.

He smiled and walked towards the fire step by step.

The purpose of the two people's arson was to burn down the warehouse and eliminate the evidence of the crime, while Lumian's purpose of arson was to create noise and attract attention, so that investigators could discover anomalies in the warehouse!

This is what a qualified citizen should do.

Lumian's body surface immediately erupted with a layer of flames, which tamely adhered to the clothes, leaving only a small amount to ignite.

With such a flame cloak, Lumian entered the crackling fire.

The fire blended with the fire and the smoke was repelled. He passed through the building easily and left the dock in the opposite direction.

After this arson, Lumian initially mastered the power of the potion and was able to complete the binding very well, without any abnormal symptoms such as burning sensation on the skin and anxiety in the heart.

Although this is still far from truly digesting the magic potion, at least he has adapted to his own state and can withstand further fateful gifts.

...

After several counter-tracking operations, Lumian returned to the safe house on White Coat Street.

He was very happy to be able to digest the "Arsonist" potion before tracking down the priest. He always had a smile on his face, but when he saw the heavy information in the iron cabinet, which contained thousands of pages, his expression became a little bit sad. down.

It would take a month or two to finish reading them all!

How can we find suitable contract creatures in a short time?
