Chapter 591 Meeting Tingen Again
One day later.
"Sizzle, sizzle."
Lu Ze took the ceremonial silver dagger and carved an intricate pattern on his arm.
The pattern circled and revolved, its beginning and end connected, constantly overflowing with blood, appearing eerie and mysterious.
Upon closer inspection, this pattern seems somewhat similar to the strange rings created by Ouroboros's released power.
Of course, Luze wouldn't be foolish enough to summon the "Angel of Fate" again. This design came from another Mercury Serpent, the holy emblem of the "Scholar of Life." He arranged the candles on the altar, placed his wounded arm between two candles, letting the candlelight illuminate the bloodstained holy emblem, and then lowered his head to chant incantations.
Yes, he was going to hold the "secret ceremony" again to establish a connection with the speaker of the Life School.
"There are two things I'd like to discuss with you."
Luze directly included his questions in the prayer: "First, that silly snake you mentioned has come to me. Second, I want to know if you know the potion recipe for Sequence 3 of my pathway..."
So far, he has obtained clues about the "Three Heads Sanctuary" from two sources: first, Medici's deal, and second, the Church of the Night's recruitment. However, both sources come with additional conditions: either Medici must be able to be resurrected, or he must return to the Church of the Night.
Leaving aside Medici's situation for now, returning to the Church of the Night has both advantages and disadvantages.
The advantages are gaining official status, access to more resources, and a strong backing, eliminating concerns about the Aurora Society's angels suddenly appearing again; the disadvantages are being subject to control, no longer having as much freedom as before, and the goddess's true purpose remaining unclear.
Just as Lu Ze was struggling with this decision, he suddenly realized that he had another avenue to explore. If the chairman of the "School of Life" could also provide the necessary resources, he would have another option.
"Hopefully, there will be good news..."
With this thought in mind, Lu Ze gradually closed his eyes and drifted into a dream.
The wilderness was desolate, with a tall tower standing out abruptly; the scenery was exactly the same as what I had seen last time.
However, when Lu Ze entered the tower with practiced ease, he found it completely empty, and the giant white snake that had been coiled inside was nowhere to be found.
What about people?
He thought with some apprehension, when suddenly he noticed some glittering spots on the ground. Upon closer inspection, he saw many scattered tarot cards, pieced together intermittently to form lines of runic text on the ground:
Thanks for reminding me, I'll remind them to keep a close eye on that silly snake.
Regarding your question about potion recipes, I regret to inform you that I do not know them. Perhaps you could try your luck with organizations that believe in a true creator, such as the Aurora Order or the Ironblood Cross.
Also, Ouroboros may still be watching you, so avoid contacting me unless absolutely necessary.
this...
Lu Ze grinned.
It seems He's a bit afraid of Ouroboros. Not only did He not show up this time, He even asked me to contact Him less... He calls Ouroboros a silly snake, but he's actually so wary... Well, He's in a crucial developmental stage, and He's even more afraid of Ouroboros directly confronting Him than I am...
He shook his head regretfully, waking up from his dream.
After tidying up the remaining items from the ceremony, Luze once again took out the flower Ariana had left behind. The afternoon sun shone brightly on the Deep Sleep Flower. It showed no signs of wilting and still exuded a faint fragrance, bringing a sense of peace and tranquility.
It seems that I have no choice but to accept the church's conditions.
After all, the Church of the Night seems more reliable than Medici.
But before that... there's one more thing I need to do.
Kingdom of Rune, Tingen City, train station platform.
"Waaah—"
—"
Steam rose, filling the platform with a white haze that obscured the view. Hurried travelers were bathed in it, their heads jostling and figures blurred, like some strange dream.
A man emerged from the steam. He was handsome, with slightly disheveled hair and green eyes that held the romantic air of a poet.
Leonard looked around the familiar station, a nostalgic expression on his face.
Tingen, I'm back...
Those past memories rushed back, and on the crowded platform, he suddenly felt a dizzying sense of loneliness, making it difficult for him to move for a moment.
Passengers passed by him, and people would occasionally glance at him, not only because his behavior was a bit strange, but also because of the conspicuous red gloves on his body, which stood out against his black suit.
Leonard raised his hand, straightened his hair, and finally took another step, walking out of the station before more people noticed him.
Daffodil Street, Tingen City.
A foot emerged from the void and landed firmly on the street, followed by more human body parts being "squeezed" out of the void and appearing in the air.
Someone came out.
However, the people on the street subconsciously ignored this unusual situation. They continued with their own business, and no one gave the suddenly appearing man in red a second glance.
Luzer removed his hand from the anchor symbol on his arm, ending his spiritual output. He used "spiritual travel" to go directly to Tingen, wanting to see the place where he first lived one last time before going to Backlund.
At this time, Antia had already entered hibernation.
She no longer manifested in human form as frequently as before, nor did she use her abilities at will. Instead, she attached herself to the anchor mark on Lu Ze's arm.
However, Miss Ship Spirit did not completely fall into slumber. Although the angelic abilities of the Black Emperor pathway could not be used for the time being, the functions added to her during the creation of the "Ghost Ship" were not affected—simply put, Luze could still use her to travel to the spirit world.
Similarly, Antia could also serve as Luze's messenger, solving the latter's inability to contract with spirit beings... Of course, this will have to wait until she awakens.
"Tap, tap."
Lu Ze walked along the cement road of Narcissus Street. With each step, familiar street scenes came into view, and memories surfaced in his mind. His expression was unusually calm, but his eyes were like volcanoes, accumulating intense emotions.
He stood in front of the three row houses.
Number 2 Narcissus Street, the house that Klein's family used to rent, is now empty, with a rental sign hanging on the door. Next door, number 6, which he and Cecilia used to rent, has new tenants.
As dusk fell, the house was bathed in warm light, filled with the sounds of children's laughter and adults' conversations. The clinking of cutlery against the tableware created a pleasant tactile atmosphere. This haven sheltered those weary from a long day, protecting them from the cold and the storms.
Lu Ze stood in the darkness, gazing silently.
This place is still beautiful, but it no longer belongs to me.
