Chapter 500: The Origin of the Fragments (ask for guaranteed monthly tickets at the beginning of the month) Mr. K did not make any requests for Lumian's trip to Feynaporte, but repeatedly told him that he could use that finger at any time when he encountered difficulties. As long as he was not in a special environment, the messenger of the "Aurora Society" could sense it through the connection between flesh and blood and provide assistance in the shortest time. The sensing distance is quite far, it is worthy of being a part of my body... I wonder if the "witches" can complete the curse after getting this finger... Lumian said goodbye to Mr. K with a distracted mind and left the off-white luxurious house at No. 19 Scheer Street. ………… In the town of Chaillot, at the gate of the manor surrounded by grape trees and vines. Franka saw Browns Soren with long orange-red hair falling like a waterfall. The witch laughed sarcastically and said: "I heard your lover died?" "Did you just drink the Provocateur potion?" Franca sneered at the other party without showing any weakness. "Could it be that members of the Soran family are born with some Provocateur traits?" Without waiting for Browns' response, Franka passed her and laughed softly as they passed by: "Yes, Gardner Martin is indeed dead. I killed him with my own hands." Brown's pupils dilated, and she turned her head in shock, looking at Franca's side. She saw that this newly joined witch had a faint smile on her face, but her eyes were deep and dark, giving a feeling of both joy and pain, deep and cruel. Franka wanted to add, "I also heard the screams of your ancestors when they were killed." However, this would expose the fact that she possessed a large amount of secret information and mystical knowledge that was not at her level, which would arouse the suspicion of the Witch Cult. She had to give up this plan and said with a smile as she walked forward:

"Then I found the item that Gardner Martin and his collaborators had smuggled into Trier from underground." "Found it, what is it?" Browns didn't expect Franca to be able to complete this task. She was surprised and a little jealous for a moment. Franka did not hide the fact that this was the purpose of her visit to the "Black Witch" Clarisse. She took out the black statue with its hair facing in the opposite direction of orthodoxy and waved it in front of Bronx. Brown's expression froze instantly, as if she had seen something extremely terrifying. "It, how could it, how could it appear..." The voice of the "Witch of Joy" gradually became lower, and there was an undisguised shock in her tone. "Do you know what it is?" Franca took the opportunity to ask. Browns woke up suddenly, and said with twinkling eyes: "My teacher will tell you." Franka didn't ask any more questions, but smiled and changed the subject: "Why does your teacher call herself the 'Black Witch'? Wouldn't normal people think that witch is a derogatory term?" "Everyone has different aesthetic tastes. Some like to call themselves saints, while others think witches are cool and have a unique, non-vulgar temperament." Browns is more inclined to the latter. Men are teenagers until they die, and they all have excessive self-awareness, right? Even if they were once men... Franka thought about it seriously and found that if someone called her a certain witch, she would probably feel awkward but also strangely proud. But if someone called her a certain saint, she would definitely get goose bumps all over her body and want to dig a hole with her toes and bury herself in it. Not long after, Franka met the "Black Witch" in the round pavilion located among grape trees and a large number of vines. Clarisse's dark grey eyes, with a hint of sadness, swept across Franka's face and the black statue of the "Original Witch" in her hand. Her gaze lingered on the latter for a few seconds and said: "Did you get this from the Iron Cross?" "Yes." Franka took the initiative to talk about what happened last night. She started by saying how she had failed to track down the members of the Carbonari, and went on to say how she and Anthony Reid were clearly staying in Apartment 3, No. 601 White Coat Street, but were affected by the strange changes in the statue of the "Original Witch" and the ancient silver mirror, and mysteriously entered the sealed Fourth Epoch Trier. She no longer concealed the existence of the ancient silver mirror, but only said that she had accidentally found it underground a few months ago, and that it actually played a certain role this time, and then sank into the ground and disappeared. This is all true, every word is fact. The "Black Witch" Clarisse interrupted Franka's story and asked thoughtfully:

"You ran into Gardner Martin as soon as you entered?" Although she did not see it with her own eyes, she seemed to have foreseen the development. "Yes, there is also the Carbonari member. He is General Philip who faked his death. This strange statue was found on him." Franca answered truthfully. "Anthony and I almost died at the hands of Gardner and Philip. Fortunately, Charles and Janna also came in inexplicably and hid nearby." She briefly talked about the battle, deliberately moving Jenna's abilities towards the "vampire" direction. After listening for a while, the "Black Witch" raised her right hand and gently stroked her face: "You said that there is an area of ​​chaotic weather in the wilderness far away, and in that area there is a giant figure surrounded by hurricanes and thick fog?" "Yes, we also heard his roar and almost lost control. Fortunately, we entered the city shrouded in gray fog in time, and the noise outside was very vague." Franka did not expect that the "Black Witch" was actually very concerned about the giant. Clarisse listened quietly and sighed softly. She felt a little sad, a little lost, and a little indescribable relief, which made people feel particularly pity for her. Browns looked at the teacher from the side, with a puzzled look on her face, as if she didn't understand why the "Black Witch" would react like this. Franka was puzzled at first, but then something suddenly occurred to her: Browns is from the Sauron family, so could the "Black Witch" be too? Are they from the branch of the Sauron family that joined the Witch Cult? But the hair and eye color of the "Black Witch" are not like those of the orthodox members of the Sauron family... If they are all from the Soran family, could the "Black Witch" be a relative of Browns, or even her father or mother, so Browns was raised to be what she is now? Did the "Black Witch" express such emotion after hearing about the current situation of Fomonda Soran and understanding the plot of the "Iron Cross"? As her thoughts raced, Franka continued to talk about the battle between the four of them and Gardner in the mirror, and finally took out the dark "mirror world fragment": "Sir, 'Black Witch', what is this? And what is this statue?" The "Black Witch" Clarisse looked at the "Mirror World Fragment" and the black "Original Witch" statue and said: "In conventional mysticism, the mirror world is not a real world. It is a collection of the concept of 'doors', connecting mirrors and different dimensions. However, many members of our witch sect know that in some special places, due to some unique reasons, there are a few mirror worlds with real space and monsters. What you encountered is one of them, and this is a fragment of that world..." She briefly explained what Franca already knew about the "Mirror World Fragments" and said at the end: "Originally, this should have been handed over to me in exchange for a reward, but according to your description, many of the 'Mirror People' underground have already infiltrated Trier. This fragment can help you track them, find them, and eliminate them. You can keep it for a while until the mission is completed. "Well, this is your next mission. Clean up Trier's 'Man in the Mirror' and collect similar fragments that may exist on them." The origin and function are the same as what the "magician" lady said. It seems that Clarisse did not lie to me... Hey, my next mission is in Trier, and I can't follow Charles to Feynaport to find the "bard" and others... At the critical moment, I can ask him to take me over and provide help... Franka secretly exhaled: "Yes, Your Excellency the Black Witch." The Black Witch then said: “This statue comes from one of those special mirror worlds. "We believe in the original in reality, and those 'people in the mirror' believe in the original in the mirror, but that is actually just a projection of the original in the mirror." Just as I guessed... Did the projection of the "Original Witch" in the mirror change and gain its own will, causing "Her" to be in a bad state? Or did Clarisse not tell the whole truth? At the signal of the "Black Witch", Franka handed the special statue to her. Clarisse nodded slightly and said: "You completed the mission of the Iron Cross better than I expected. You brought back this special statue. What reward do you want?" Franka said without hesitation: "A recipe for a 'pain' potion, or a magical item that can allow me to travel through the spirit world." The "Black Witch" showed a faint smile: "This time I will give you the recipe for the 'pain' potion first. Once you have completed the next task, you can choose a magical item with the ability to 'travel through the spirit world'." Meaning, my contribution this time cannot be exchanged for teleportation items, but it is more valuable than the "Witch of Pain" formula. I can save some of it and exchange it for other contributions later? Franka thought for a moment and said: "it is good." "The Black Witch" Clarisse immediately raised her right hand and wiped it in the void.

Franca immediately saw a large number of dark black Hermetic words written on the surface of a puddle at the edge of the round pavilion: "'Pain' Potion Recipe: “Sequence: 5; “Main materials: the head of a flower-faced bat and the gallbladder of a double-tailed black snake; “Supplementary materials: 30 ml of blood from a flower-faced bat, 50 ml of blood from a seriously ill human, the tail tip of a two-tailed black snake, 10 drops of Eucalyptus radiata essential oil; "Ritual: Burn at the stake for a quarter of an hour without using a body double and survive without going insane." Hiss... Just seeing the description makes me feel painful... Franca couldn't help but shrink her neck. After she wrote down the potion recipe, she left the manor accompanied by Bronx. The "Black Witch" Clarisse looked at her back quietly and took out an item from the secret pocket of her black court dress. It was a fragment of a mirror with a black surface. It is very similar to the "Fragment of the Mirror World" in Franka's hand, except for the irregular fracture on the edge.
