Chapter 623: Abnormality in the Abyss “Could it be that some of the devil legends in this notebook are true?” Lumian took the notebook with a yellowed cover and old paper and simply flipped through a few pages. Franka said, “Hmm.” "In a world where supernatural powers exist, in a world where there are real 'demons' and 'devils', there must be many legends that are true or based on real prototypes. What do you think, Nabo, uh, the devil who claimed to be an ancient devil before, could it be the protagonist of one of these legends? And the devil on Hunt Island is its mortal enemy, disguised as a human living in the real world. It lied that the other party is a descendant of the devil, and tricked us into taking risks to achieve a certain goal?" “Maybe.” Lumian laughed. “We shouldn’t speculate on matters involving higher-level creatures. Let’s just write to Ms. Magician and report to her.” Franca glanced at Lumian and laughed: “You really are an expert at managing up. "But it does make sense. We know very little about the real 'devil' and it would be a waste of time to speculate." She then pointed to the notebook and said: "The handwriting on it is different from the one on which the 'love spell' was written. It's not written by the same author." Lumian had already sat down at the desk, spread out the paper, and wrote a letter to Ms. Magician. While he was choosing his words, he responded to Franca's words: "Does the word 'love spell' appear in the notes?"

"I quickly looked through it and found nothing." Franca replied affirmatively. Lumian thought for a moment and said: "There are two possibilities. One is that the devil used the people it controlled to put the 'love spell' into this notebook that records demons and devil legends, hoping that it could be spread secretly and influence more people. The other possibility is that the people who read this notebook were unknowingly influenced by the devil and received the so-called 'revelation', so they wrote down this 'love spell' and marked it." "Mysticism is so dangerous..." Franka sighed sincerely after hearing this. Lumian quickly prepared the letter and sent it to the "Magician" lady along with the ancient notebook and the note with the "love spell" written on it. While waiting for a reply, Franka and Lumian briefly discussed the devil legend of Hant Island in the violent sea: Thirty years after Emperor Roselle found a safe passage to the southern continent, many mysterious deaths of colonists and natives occurred on the now-colonized Hant Island. Witnesses claimed to have seen valleys burning with sulfur flames in the island's forests, and that dark devils with goat horns seemed to be hovering there at night. After that, after official handling, the mysterious deaths never occurred again. The owner of the notebook that recorded this legend even went to the forest to search several times, but failed to find the so-called valley burning with sulfur flames. As they chatted, time passed by, and the "doll" messenger brought a reply from the "magician" lady and the returned ancient notes and "love spell" note. Lumian started reading directly under the lighted gas wall lamp. Franca didn't shy away at all and leaned forward: "Just because the name 'Napolitix' can drive the guy away doesn't mean it's his real name. "That's because it admitted within a short period of time that it was its real name. Even if it was lying, sometimes, in certain situations, if it admits it is true, then it is true. It has a corresponding mystical connection. This is one of Mr. Fool's powers. Amon could have done it in the past. "Because you are praying directly to Mr. Fool and using his power to exorcise Napolidisli, it doesn't matter whether this is his real name or not, and it won't affect the final result. "Do you understand? Thermipolos was right in reminding us that we should be careful when making false promises. "If that is really a devil, and his real name is indeed 'Napolidisli', then the problem is more complicated. Since the Fifth Epoch, the 'devils' active in the human world are either in the form of sealed objects or have one of the three surnames: Andrellad, Belia, and North. 'Devils' without surnames in their real names are often very old, or come from the abyss where demons and devils live. The current state of the abyss is mentioned in Emperor Roselle's diary." Seeing this, Lumian turned his head and looked at Franka. He often saw people trading Emperor Roselle's diaries at the Curly-Haired Baboon Research Society. When the "April Fools' Day" members were still active, they would even recite the more comedic ones in public. However, he had only joined the time travel organization in recent months, so he had no access to the previously translated ones and had no idea what the emperor had recorded about the abyss. Franka said with a serious expression: "Emperor Roselle found the entrance to the abyss and conducted in-depth exploration." “As expected of Emperor Roselle.” Lumian praised instinctively and sincerely. He didn't have many people he admired, or even very few, and Emperor Roselle was one of them.

After knowing that this emperor was a time traveler like his sister, he felt even closer to him. Franka continued: “In the part of the abyss that Emperor Roselle explored, the demons and devils had already died, not a single one was left. “What he saw was either corpses or silence. "This state frightened him, and he left in a hurry without completing his exploration." “All dead?” Lumian frowned slightly. “The guy with the ‘Love Spell’ is either not a devil, or he is a very ancient devil from the core area of ​​the Abyss?” He paused and said: "If it is really an ancient devil, then it is very likely that it knows why the abyss has undergone such changes." Franka nodded solemnly. They both turned their eyes to the latter part of the reply letter from the "magician": "I believe you have already learned about the situation in the Abyss from the 'Holy Grail II', so I will not elaborate on it. In short, Napolidisli is either a powerful devil who escaped the changes in the Abyss, or an ancient devil who was stranded on the earth for some reason before the three major demon families, North, Belia, and Andrellad, became active in the northern continent and did not follow one of the ancient gods, the demon king, back to the Abyss. No matter which possibility it is, you are not capable of dealing with it now, let alone thinking of trading with it. “You can investigate the devil legend of Hant Island along the way, but you must be careful. "Remember, the abyss is very corrosive and can cause people to fall without even realizing it. You should pay special attention to changes in your thoughts, ideas, emotions, and desires during this period. If you feel there is any problem, you can seek confirmation from the Psychologist. If you are really affected by the abyss aura attached to Napolidisli, write to me or the Judgment. There will be professionals who are good at purifying this influence to provide help. Don't always bother Mr. Fool. "Also, think of the name 'Napolitix' as being all right, don't write it, don't read it." After reading the letter, Lumian whispered to himself: "Ms. Magician seems to be more inclined to believe that it was the devil, not some other secret entity." "Yes." Franka echoed doubtfully, "Say that guy is a devil, but he didn't have any sense of danger and allowed us to complete the preliminary preparations for the 'Exorcism Technique'. Say that he isn't a devil, but he can create fluctuations and detonate our desires and emotions. I just guessed that he was a secret existence that controlled the '1' level seal of the 'Devil' path." Lumian thought for a few seconds and said: “Perhaps Ms. Magic saw more. "That thing has no premonition of danger. It may be because its real body is not here. It just descended with a little breath and power. Or, the danger comes from Mr. Fool, so it cannot be sensed!" "That makes sense." Franka agreed at first, then said with a strange expression, "Do you feel that after we became the Minor Arcana, we have been exposed to more and more of the depths of the world of mysticism, the Witch Cult, the Mirror World, the 'Four Emperors' War, the 'Great Mother', and this time the Abyss Devil... When I read Emperor Roselle's diary before, I often felt that 'this world is like this', and now, the contents of his diary have really come to us." At this point, before Lumian could speak, Franca added self-deprecatingly: "For example, witch tastes really good." Lumian laughed and said: "Think about it carefully. Did you encounter these things after becoming a minor Arcana card, or after you met me?" "Uh..." Franka said with a twitch of her lips, "You really know yourself." ………… Two days later, Lumian, Ludwig, and Lugano boarded an ocean-going ship that would pass by Hant Island and head to West Balam in the southern continent. He wanted to investigate the legend of the devil and seek an opportunity to completely digest the "Conspirator" potion. After deceiving Napolidisli and driving it away with the "ghost exorcism technique", Lumian found that his potion digestion progress had advanced significantly. With another good performance, he would be able to digest the potion in advance and would no longer need the help of the final promotion ceremony, so he could plan the subsequent matters more calmly. Captain Pedro, along with his eldest daughter Sarah, and several "God's Grace" and "God's Favored Ones", sincerely thanked Lumian and watched him go up the gangway with his godson and servants.

When the ship named "Berry" set sail, one of the "God's Favored Ones" seemed to be relieved and said: "He finally left Kolya Port..." Before Sarah could ask why he felt this way, the "God's Favored One" in brown priest clothing turned around and said to her and Pedro: "The circumstances at the scene of Flores' death indicate that this matter involves a real, high-ranking devil. Miss Sarah, you'd better live in a monastery for a year to avoid possible sequelae." Sarah had long known from her father that she was able to wake up thanks to the help of the great adventurer Louis Berry, but because she had not seen it with her own eyes, nor felt it personally, she lacked substantial experience. It was only at this moment that she asked in horror: "One year? "The real devil...what kind of devil is that?" The "God's Favored One" in brown priest clothing replied solemnly: "It's the devil in those legends you've heard of, only even more powerful." "This..." Sarah turned her head to look at her father, her face full of fear, confusion and disbelief. Is this the devil from whom you saved me? Pedro was equally surprised. He never thought that his daughter's affairs would involve such a terrifying existence. And Louis Berry only charged 20,000 gold rizos! No, he actually succeeded! Pedro had seen the huge waves created by the great adventurer Louis Berry and had a rough idea of ​​his level of strength, but this was far less impressive than the actual examples and comparisons. ………… In the first-class suite on the Berry. Lumian handed the ancient notebook and the note with the "Love Spell" to Ludwig and asked with a smile: "Can I eat it?" (End of this chapter)
