At that moment, Fors felt her cheeks burning as she stiffened. She didnāt even dare to turn her head to look at her friend.
She realized that she had severely underestimated the bottom line of the magic mirror!
After stuttering for a moment, Fors recalled Mr. Worldās reminder and closed her eyes.
āI choose to accept the punishment.ā
A silvery-white bolt of lightning fell from the air in the room, but the moment it appeared, the lightning vanished without a trace like it was a hallucination.
The dark red words on the surface of the mirror were dyed silver as they were quickly replaced with new content:
āThe question and answer game will end here today. Goodbye!ā
Without waiting for Fors to open her eyes and before Xio could react, the rippling light in the mirror instantly calmed down. The gloom and darkness in the room shattered as they were swallowed by the light of the candle.
Wasnāt there supposed to be a punishment? Fors waited for a few seconds before opening her eyes slightly. She looked at the mirror that had returned to normal and then at Xio, who was watching by the sidelines.
Xio pointed at the top of her head and said, āThere was lightning that smote at you, but it disappeared halfway. Also, the magic mirror had already left.ā
āā¦The magic mirror was only joking? Thatās not right. The warning I received was that the questions would be rather embarrassing, and the punishments would be rather heavyā¦ Could it be that Mr. Fool protected me?ā Fors rubbed her right cheek as she made a guess.
āPerhaps.ā Xio nodded in agreement with her friend.
Just as Fors heaved a sigh of relief and rejoiced, she suddenly realized that Xio was looking at her earnestly.
āW-whatās the matter?ā Forsās heart skipped a beat.
Xio asked thoughtfully, āIn that erotic dream of yours, who was the main lead?ā
āā¦Haha, who would remember such a dream from so long ago? Besides, arenāt dreams blurry and unclear?ā Fors forced a smile.
Xio tersely acknowledged.
āIf thatās the case, why didnāt you answer with that just now?ā
āā¦I was nervous. I was too nervous.ā Fors glanced at the luggage that she had finished packing and said, āItās time for us to move. I miss having a fireplace!ā
As she spoke, she walked towards her luggage.
It was only at this moment that she realized that, at times, the outcome was similar whether she answered the magic mirrorās question or not.
Is this the 'social deathā that was mentioned by Gehrman Sparrow? I really want to bury my head into the ground! Fors continuously took deep breaths in an attempt to calm her burning face and embarrassed heart.
ā¦
In the ancient palace above the fog.
Klein threw the Sea God Scepter back into the junk pile and scoffed at Arrodesās act.
Despite knowing that I was the one who sent someone to summon it, it actually dared to raise such a question. Only when I stopped the punishment did it hurriedly change its attitude and leave in a panicā¦ It sure had funā¦
However, its answer has given me a new train of thought. I really donāt need to restrict myself to the path of a Miracle Invokerā¦
The second Blasphemy Slate is most likely from the City of Silverās Creator, and is now in the hands of Adamā¦ Although Amon and āHisā brother are mutually staying away from each otherās affairs and arenāt on especially good terms, āTheyā have worked together before. I donāt believe that āHeā has never seen that Blasphemy Slateā¦ If thatās the case, āHeā is definitely aware of the Miracle Invokerās ritual and can guess that Iāll be bringing the City of Silver out of the Forsaken Land of the Gods. When that happens, āHeā wouldnāt even need to put much effort into tracking me. āHeā just needs to wait at the Giant Kingās Courtā¦
Yes, I canāt go according to the enemyās expectations, especially since this is a God of Deceit and the God of Mischief. Countless accidents will happenā¦ If itās because of my participation that the City of Silverās thousands of years of hope ends up being destroyed, then itāll be completely contradictory to my original intentionsā¦
The problem with a Planeswalker is that I might hear Mr. Doorās ravings, and will suffer the scrutiny and corruption from the cosmos thatās worse than Sequence 2 angels from other pathways. Of course, this isnāt completely unacceptableā¦
Also, will I need to pay back the two resurrection chances that Sefirah Castle gave me? Thatās still fine since Iāll definitely transfer back to being an Attendant of Mysteries at Sequence 1 because Mr. Door has already blocked off the advancement path of the Apprentice pathway. āHeā is at least in control of the Uniqueness and two sets of Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristicsāperhaps even all threeā¦
Itās not necessary for me to switch to Planeswalker, but I have to make the necessary preparations. When my options increase, even if Amon tries to stop me, the difficulty of burying a trap in advance will increase significantly. Only then can I become an angel while under the pressure of a King of Angels!
Yes. Iāll stay on the fence for now. Iāll prepare for the Miracle Invoker advancement while preparing for the Planeswalker advancement. Iāll determine which pathway to take based on the actual situation when the time comes.
Having come to a decision, Klein felt refreshed. His mind was abnormally active, and he quickly came up with a preliminary plan.
Iām not in a hurry to ask Miss Magicianās teacher about the Planeswalker potion formula and the corresponding Grade 0 Sealed Artifact. This will scare the Abraham family, making them suspect that Miss Magician worships some evil god and has joined some terrible organizationā¦
With their current situation, thereās a high chance that they wonāt reply. They will change their identities, move, and sever all tiesā¦
Yes, the head of the Saint of Secrets, Botis, will make a fine gift. Regardless of whether the Abraham family gives the Worm of Cosmos, this matter will have to be placed on the agendaā¦ I hope Miss Justice can digest the Dreamwalker potion as soon as possible. I hope that Maāam Hermit will be prepared. I also hope that the two ladies, Miss Magician and Miss Judgment, will be able to improve before the operationā¦
Right, according to what Miss Magician said, Saint of Secrets Botis is a defector of the Abraham family, and the Aurora Order holds a Grade 0 Sealed Artifact of the Apprentice pathway. Thatās interestingā¦ Perhaps I donāt need to contact the Abraham family. I might be able to get what I want from the Saint of Secrets. Uh, I have to remind Maāam Hermit that Botis might be carrying a Grade 0 Sealed Artifact, so confirmation has to be made before the operationā¦
If that Grade 0 Sealed Artifact isnāt in the hands of the Saint of Secrets, then Iāll probably have to face the Angel of Fate Ouroboros to get itā¦ No, Grade 0 Sealed Artifacts are terrifying to begin with. Itās one of the sources of dangerā¦
Phew, Iāll first wait for Miss Magicianās teacher to reply and see if the Abraham family is averse to any mention of the Worm of Cosmosā¦
As he thought of this, Klein suddenly felt a hint of self-deprecation. He felt that he and the Aurora Order appeared to be destined enemies. They often had all kinds of interactions.
When the operation begins, the Aurora Order will definitely shout in their hearts:
āWhy is it you again? Why is it us again?ā
After letting out a breath, he gathered his thoughts and conjured The World Gehrman Sparrow. He replied to Miss Magician who had reported the answer.
Following that, The World prayed once again, requesting Mr. Fool to forward his request to Danitz.
ā¦
On a certain island in the Fog Sea, Danitz, who was waiting for the Golden Dream, turned his head to look at Anderson and chuckled.
āIām going to summon Gehrman Sparrowās messenger.ā
Anderson pricked up his brows and scoffed.
āYouāre qualified to consume the Conspirer potion.ā
āYou were the one who made it too obvious. Even I could sense that you were afraid of that messenger.ā Danitz felt even more pleased with himself as he said humbly.
Anderson suddenly guffawed.
āWhy do you not suspect that Iām pretending to be afraid? Iām just trying to find a reasonable excuse to avoid hearing things I shouldnāt be hearing.ā
āā¦Dogsh*t, do you think Iāll believe the lies you came up with in a hurry?ā Danitz was almost convinced.
Anderson spread his hands and walked to the door.
āYouāve gathered all the materials of the Conspirer potion. Remember to remind Gehrman to not forget my Iron-blooded Knight potion formula.ā
Danitz waved his hand impatiently, indicating that he hadnāt forgotten.
After Anderson walked out of the room and closed the door, Danitz immediately set up a ritual and summoned the messenger holding four blonde, red-eyed heads.
Seeing the eight eyes look over at the same time, Danitzās chest immediately retracted.
He forced a smile and handed out a gold coin.
āMaāam, Gehrman Sparrow wants me to tell you that heās fine. Heās now in the Forsaken Land of the Gods.ā
ā¦Wait, what did I say? The Forsaken Land of the Gods? As a crew member of Vice Admiral Iceberg, Danitzās knowledge of mysticism was still adequate. After a momentary pause, his pupils clearly dilated.
āAlrightā¦ā Reinette Tinekerr bit down on the gold coin and answered immediately.
Then, āSheā entered the void and vanished from the room.
After reporting this to Gehrman Sparrow, Danitz received the Iron-blooded Knightās potion formula and new orders.
Prepare some local delicacies and sacrifice them to Sea God Kalvetuaā¦ Isnāt this mission a little odd? Danitz muttered to himself, but he didnāt dare to raise any questions.
He quickly tidied up the altar, found a parchment, and wrote down the supplementary ingredients and corresponding ritual in the Iron-blooded Knight potion formula.
Following that, he opened the door and handed the parchment to Anderson.
āForm a team of at least thirty peopleā¦ The stronger the teamās strength and chemistry, the better the ritualās effectsā¦ā Anderson unfolded the parchment in front of Danitz and read it. As he read, his brows gradually furrowed. āIf the teamās chemistry is to build upon the idea of killing meāthe captaināthe ritual is rather simpleā¦ā
Without waiting for Danitz to mock him, a burning white flame appeared from his fingertip and burned the parchment.
Anderson chuckled.
āI need to go back to my homeland to find an opportunity. That place is currently being invaded by Feynapotter, and war is always the best place for building up and training a team.ā
With a pause, he looked at Danitz and said with a smile, āIāve prepared some questions for you. Theyāre in my room. Once you become a Conspirer, you can try doing it and see if your intelligence has improved.ā
āā¦Dogsh*t! Are you trying to trick me into reading all the books in your room?ā Danitz was almost moved, but he immediately understood that something was wrong.
No matter how high his intelligence was, he wouldnāt be able to solve the questions if he hadnāt read the textbooks!
āNot bad. It only took you three seconds this time to grasp the crux of the matter. If it were in the past, heh heh, you wouldāve really believed me.ā Anderson praised with a smile as he turned around and left the inn.
