Chapter 707 Fragment of Destiny (Asking for a Guaranteed Monthly Pass)
Time passed minute by minute, and the reporters waiting outside the conference hall were not impatient or dissatisfied at all, they had experienced similar situations many times.
Finally, the heavy door of the Rose Conference Hall opened, wearing a straight formal suit, with proper facial features, dark gray eyes, and gray hair, Minister of Industry Mo Lan. Avini and the head of the delegation of the Rune Kingdom walked out side by side.
Click, click, the loud flash lights lit up one after another, Moran. Aveni waved to the reporters gracefully.
Lumian did not force himself to the front, hiding in the crowd, staring at Moran from a distance of several meters. Avini.
Under the cover of the camera, his azure eyes quickly turned silver-black.
"Eye of Calamity"!
In Lumian's field of vision, Moran. A long river of mercury made up of illusory water droplets appeared on Avini, and each drop of water was composed of complex symbols connected end to end.
Through Moran. In a brief speech announcing the opportunity for the Republic of Intis and the Kingdom of Rune to reach a series of cooperation agreements in the industrial field, Lumian carefully discerned the past, present and future of the Minister of Industry, discerning the fragments of fate contained in every drop of the river.
There is a lot of blur in this, the more past it is, the more difficult it is to distinguish, and Lumian focuses on browsing the clips from the previous two weeks.
He saw Moran. Aveni, who lives in a special villa provided by the government, saw that the Minister of Industry would go to a fixed café every week to attend gatherings and discuss various things, "leading by example" in Trier's café political trend.
Lumian also saw Moran. Avigny attended salons, balls, dinners, listened to operas and concerts, watched plays and art exhibitions, played polo and poker, went hunting in the suburbs, flirted with courtesans, had extramarital affairs with several women, and used his identity to facilitate the Intis Industrial Credit Bank, so that the husband of one of his lovers would become the deputy general manager of the bank's southern continental branch - a position that many people dream of pursuing, decent, well-paid, and with a lot of power, the only bad thing is the need to leave Trier, I went to the southern continent to stay for two or three years, and I couldn't bring my spouse and children with me in the early days.
This is completely in line with Lumian's stereotype of Trier's high society people.
During a quick inspection, Lumian skipped the more obscure parts and found two noteworthy fragments of fate:
One is Moran. When Aveni was reading documents alone in the study, he suddenly wrote a note, and then put his hand into the mirror beside him.
The other is Moran. While hunting in the forest of Silone, Avini appears to have had brief contact with a lost person, and what caught Lumian's attention was that the fragment of fate was permeated with a white, faint mist that made it appear blurry.
This is somewhat different from the blurring of most of the other fragments of fate.
The first fragment of fate confirmed Moran from the other side. Avini's identity as the "man in the mirror", you must know that in the twenty-two "Ways of God", the "witches" who are best at mirror magic cannot transmit information and items through the mirror before becoming the demigod of Sequence 4, and if Moran. Avini is a demigod-level "witch", and he cannot exist as a man.
For this situation, Lumian can only think of two possibilities:
First, the only one who is better at using mirrors than "witches" and more special in the field of mirror magic is the "man in the mirror"!
2. Moran. Avini was originally a demigod-level "witch", but later took a higher-order "hunter" magic potion and successfully became male, which means that the Minister of Industry is at least a saint of sequence 3, and may even be an angel.
Combined with the information previously collected by Franka and others, the information provided by "007" and a small number of clearer fate clips, Moran. Every has never shown the characteristics of a "hunter", and Lumian believes that the other party is indeed a "man in the mirror" and not an ordinary "man in the mirror" without extraordinary abilities.
The second fragment of fate is worth Lumian's attention because it is relatively special and may contain some important information, but Lumian cannot decipher it yet.
He immediately focused on Moran. Avini's future fate is on the tributaries of fate.
Without any surprises, Lumian saw one of them dyed a faint black.
This background is a tributary of the fate of mercury, and like many of its kind, the fairly clear part "rehearses" Moran. After the interview, Aveni took an exclusive carriage back to the building of the Ministry of Industry, the difference was that after entering the minister's office and sitting for a while, Moran. Aveni took the initiative to walk into the full-length mirror placed near the coat rack and disappeared.
In the future, Lumian could not see.
He can only infer from what he has observed so far. If Avini enters the mirror world before noon today, he will encounter a life-threatening disaster.
But Moran. The probability of Avini doing this is not high, among so many tributaries of fate, only this one represents this possibility.
Of course, if Lumian is not afraid of being exposed now, he can indeed mobilize his nearly half spirituality and use the ability of "Pushing Destiny" to forcibly kill Moran. Avini's future pushed into that tributary of fate, but it didn't mean anything:
Moran. Avini's death in the mirror world will only prevent them from touching his corpse, thus completing channeling!
"The 'Black Witch' should also be able to enter the mirror world, but if she channels, we will not be able to obtain the corresponding information, even if Franka has fully gained her trust, some things, within a certain sequence, will not be told what should be known......" Lumian saw Moran. Aveni posed to end the interview, and his bodyguards began to squeeze out the way from the reporters, so they stopped using the "Eye of Disaster" and took a black-and-white photo very playfully.
Then, he gradually quit the ranks of reporters, went to the public restroom for a walk, stuffed the camera into the "traveler's bag", put on the "lie", and turned back into Charles. Dubois, and then entered the restaurant attached to the Champs-Élysées as a guest.
Franka was waiting for him here.
While following the waiter to the intended location, Lumian saw a man and a woman drinking coffee.
The woman had black hair and brown eyes, a beautiful appearance, and a slightly exaggerated temperament, which could be seen from her dress, while the man looked ordinary, wearing a double-breasted flannel jacket, chicken claw pattern pants, snap leather boots, and a soft fur top hat, which was the favorite outfit of Trier's bankers and financiers in recent years.
Lumian noticed that the man and woman were not attracted by the atmosphere of wealth, but that he knew the lady who was beautiful and had some foreign characteristics.
Of course, the other party didn't know him, he had only seen her photos in Grimace magazine:
She is Perle, a theater actress and Trier courtesan from Rune.
Dival, the inventor of Divar broth and the owner of a well-known restaurant, once spent a lot of money on her and even committed suicide because of her, but it was unsuccessful.
At this time, Perle and the middle-aged man suspected of being a banker had not yet started eating, they were just drinking coffee.
The middle-aged man took the coffee cup that Pele had finished drinking, pointed to the coffee grounds left behind, and didn't know what he was explaining, while the courtesan listened very attentively.
Lumian relied on his excellent senses and listened briefly while passing by, and soon understood that the middle-aged man suspected of being a banker was playing coffee grounds divination.
This is a method of divination that is quite popular in high society and is closer to the game.
"You drink the remaining coffee grounds in a circle, which means you have recently met signs of love......"
Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Lumian couldn't help but scold:
"Do you want to say it in the end, and I am the love ...... you will meet"
If it were other women, even if they knew what the opposite man wanted to express, they would be secretly surprised that their divination results pointed to traces of love, thinking that this might indeed be the guidance of fate - the various states naturally formed by drinking leftover coffee grounds have corresponding fate revelations, and this is recognized by everyone, and there is no possibility of tampering with rhetoric.
But considering that Perle is a senior courtesan and has a bold style, Lumian has reason to believe that she took the initiative to make the remaining coffee grounds round through some way of drinking coffee!
After walking a little more distance, Lumian saw Franka.
This "Witch of Joy" was dressed very ladylike today, very suitable for such an occasion, so that Lumian almost didn't dare to admit it.
Of course, Franka still did not wear a real long skirt, but replaced it with a hakama.
Looking at Franka, whose hair was no longer in a ponytail, but elegantly curled up, Lumian chuckled and said:
"Did Jianna help you get your hair?"
"Yes!" Not only did Franka not become angry, but he was complacent.
Before the two of them could exchange their observations just now, a nearby waiter came over and handed them two identical menus.
"The lunch set is 7 Felkin, if you order it separately, plus a good red wine, the two of us have to eat at least 50 Felkin." Franka suppressed her voice and said to Lumian in Guvsak, "In the market area, this can feed your godson."
She not only felt that the restaurant at the Champs-Élysées was expensive, but also wanted to try it with great interest.
"Do you have any recommendations?" Franca asked the waiter in Intes instead.
The male waiter had been peeking at Franka, and when he heard the question, he said very enthusiastically:
"Do you want to try the filt?
"In Trier, except for some private banquets, we are the only ones who can eat felt fish here."
"Is there anything special about it?" Lumian asked with a slight curiosity.
The waiter looked at Franka and said:
"The body of the Firte fish looks half-charred, only a certain section of the Trier underground river can be found, it is said that a long time ago, it was normal, one day it was caught by a certain person named Fürter, and he set up an oil pan by the underground river, ready to fry it to eat, halfway through the frying, the fish found an opportunity, jumped out of the frying pan, jumped back into the river, and kept alive, living until it gave birth to many offspring, and its offspring were all semi-charred.
"The skin of this fish is charred and oily, and the meat inside is very tender......"
Trier Underground River ...... Semi-coke ...... Alive...... Lumian extracted the keywords, and Huo Ran wondered if this was caused by the leakage of the power of the "hunter" of the Fourth Age Trier.
He smiled and said to Franka:
"Let's get one each?"
"Okay." Franka had wanted to try it.
ps: Ask for a guaranteed monthly pass~
