Summon White Paper?
When Lumian saw the words on the paper, he was clearly stunned.
A strange trembling, surprise, and fear imdiately welled up from the depths of his heart.
Had Aurore, whose soul fragnt had further awakened and rged with , struggled to control my body while I slept, just to leave this reminder?
Theoretically, this should be very important.
But why White Paper?
Lumian certainly rembered what White Paper was - it was Aurore's contract creature, very weak, from the spirit world. Besides being spiritually connected to Aurore, its only function was to temporarily carry one Beyonder ability of the contractor, and even then, it was limited to simple and weak types.
What was there to care about with such a contract creature?
The real reason for Lumian's intense emotional reaction was: he had originally thought everything about Cordu Village was very clear, that every important symbol had been interpreted, that who all the participants were and what roles they played were sufficiently clear, with no more questions, lacking only so specific details that didn't affect the overall truth.
But now, after Aurore's soul fragnt had further wakened, the first thing she did was tell him to summon the contract creature White Paper!
Are there still important symbols in the Cordu Village incident that haven't been interpreted?
Is the current truth not the complete truth?
Are there still crucial secrets hidden?
Lumian forcefully suppressed the turmoil in his heart and quickly reviewed the key points of the Cordu Village incident.
Initially, Mada Pualis followed her husband, the local administrator, Béost, to Cordu, secretly planning to develop Cordu into her 'territory' to establish her own Paramita;
Mada Pualis began an affair with the padre and beca pregnant;
Aurore, influenced by mbers of April's Fool attempted a Soul Summoning and ran into problems;
Aurore sought treatnt from I Know Soone, her ntal state fluctuating until ultimately allowing Roche Louise Sanson to return;
So villagers who were close to Aurore were influenced by Roche and believed in the constellation heresy, gradually spreading it outward;
The padre, while dealing with those involved in the constellation heresy, was bewitched by Roche and beca a believer in Inevitability:
At this ti, or perhaps later, the deity worshipped by the Aurora Order noticed Aurore's abnormality and the problems in Cordu Village, and began plotting Amon's return;
Several shepherds began bringing 'sacrifices' into the village, secretly conducting several ritual;
Reimund, Ava, and others discovered the village's abnormalities and were subsequently silenced;
I stumbled upon this matter and was nearly killed by the padre's group, fortunately saved by Aurore;
She also discovered sothing was wrong, we began seeking help from the outside world, but the truly useful approach was blocked by the tiny lizards;
Aurore was increasingly becoming Roche Louise Sanson;
They raided Mada Pualis's castle, and the padre killed his own child;
Mada Pualis left Cordu with her husband, butler, and maid, but left behind that empty cradle and other hidden arrangents, achieving so purpose through the final ritual;
The ritual officially began, Aurore pushed off the altar, and Cordu was subsequently destroyed....
Lumian carefully recalled everything but couldn't find where White Paper had played any important role or key part in these events.
It had only served as eyes for Aurore or Roche at certain monts, helping them observe corresponding targets and specific battlefields.
Among all the key points, the only unclear one is what role Mada Pualis's empty cradle, and hidden arrangents played, but preliminarily it can be linked to the true birth of the Mother's Child of God Obella, which isn't very questionable-this was confird by both Mr. Star's previous interpretation and the later scene of Mada Pualis appearing with baby Obella...
Did White Paper observe so detail then that Aurore found useful, or rather, strange?
Just as Lumian thought this, he heard a knock at the door.
"Co in." His emotions had largely cald down.
Franca and Jenna opened the door and entered. The forr looked around and said, "We sensed you were awake but hadn't opened the door, so we ca to check on you."
Lumian pointed to the paper on the desk and said. "While I was asleep, Aurore might have briefly awakened and used my body to leave this ssage."
Both Franca and Jenna were startled and quickly ca to the desk, looking at the paper pressed down by the ink bottle.
"White Paper your sister's contract creature?" Jenna recalled Lumian's previous accounts.
"Why did Aurore want you to summon White Paper? Franca asked, puzzled.
Lumian shook his head slowly, "I don't know either.
"I thought everything about Cordu Village was already clear, but now..."
Franca suddenly had an inspiration and said thoughtfully, "Could this be the useful change that would appear after becoming a Demoness of Unaging in Mr. Fool's revelation?
"Is this the correct interpretation of that prerequisite?"
After thinking for a while, Lumian said, "Very likely.
"I had previously examined the characteristics and abilities of a Demoness of Unaging and hadn't found anything that could play a key role in subsequent events. I thought sothing would only erge when I brought the Gift of the Land to et the Hand Bro in the City of Exiles.
"Now it seems Mr. Fool required to advance to a Demoness of Unaging before borrowing the Gift of the Land because once I beca a Demoness of Unaging. Aurore's soul fragnt would further awaken and better rge with , able to provide very important reminders."
"So you're saying White Paper might have recorded key information about Mada Pualis and her baby Obella?" Jenna made this conjecture based on Lumian and Franca's words.
Lumian nodded. "Go get Anthony and Ludwig upstairs. I'm preparing to summon White Paper now.
"Since Aurore hasn't completely died, her contract with White Paper still exists, and since Aurore is now part of , I can summon White Paper in her na."
Lumian wanted Anthony and Ludwig present because he wasn't sure what state White Paper would be in- perhaps they would need a Spectator or Gourt to interpret the corresponding information.
"Alright." Franca and Jenna easily understood Lumian's intentions.
After Anthony and Ludwig arrived in the bedroom and found their positions, Lumian quickly set up the altar.
Finally, he took out his Major Arcana card: "The Chariot"!
While placing "The Chariot" card at one corner of the altar, he took out The Fool's Sacred Emblem and pressed it on top of "The Chariot" card.
This matter might involve the Great Mother, so he had to be careful.
After completing all preparations, Lumian watched the quietly burning candle fla and, within the wall of spirituality, stepped back twice and called out in ancient Hers, "I!"
Then, Lumian switched to Hers.
"I summon in my na:
"The spirit that wanders about the unfounded, a friendly creature that can be subordinated, a Contract Companion that belongs solely to ..."
After reciting the incantation, Lumian saw the candle fla gently start to flicker, taking on a ghostly blue tinge.
A cold wind suddenly swept through, and a transparent, blurry sphere like a soap bubble appeared above the candle fla.
It quietly faced Lumian, giving him a sense of both familiarity and strangeness.
This was indeed White Paper, just as he rembered it, yet there was also an inexplicable sense of unfamiliarity.
As I rembered... Lumian suddenly felt a pain in his head.
He slightly furrowed his brow as images flashed through his mind.
He rembered now that he had never actually seen White Paper because before Cordu's destruction, he wasn't yet a Beyonder, and even with Aurore's guidance, he hadn't successfully activated Spirit Vision, and at low to middle Sequences, one couldn't see White Paper without Spirit Vision.
His mories of White Paper's appearance all ca from Aurore's soul fragnt.
As scene after scene flashed by, Lumian, through the further awakened soul fragnt of Aurore, barely recalled the circumstances of her first summoning of White Paper.
At that ti, White Paper was also such a fragile, soap bubble-like sphere, but there seed to be liquid inside the sphere-clear liquid with hints of pale yellow and milky white.
And as ti passed, those liquids gradually disappeared, and White Paper eventually settled into its current form.
Why had there been such a change? Lumian looked at White Paper, feeling it was indeed spiritually connected to him.
But spiritual connection didn't an White Paper had enough intelligence to understand the aning of words-it could only accept simple commands and couldn't answer Lumian's questions.
"There's nothing abnormal, nothing noteworthy…" Franca frowned, turning her gaze to Jenna, Anthony, and Ludwig.
Jenna and Anthony shook their heads in turn, indicating they also hadn't seen any important information contained in White Paper.
Ludwig licked his lips and said softly. "It used to have a very tempting scent, but now it's gone."
"Used to have a very tempting scent..." Franca fell into thought.
Jenna muttered to herself, "This indicates there was indeed a problem, there used to be a problem?
"The knowledge Aurore used to summon White Paper ca from the infusion of that evil god Hidden Sage... an intentional infusion?"
"Mm." Franca nodded slowly and solemnly, "What was the problem that used to exist?"
She looked at Ludwig again.
"Don't know." Ludwig shook his head.
At this point, Lumian, who had been watching White Paper and listening to his companions' dialogue, spoke in a deep voice.
"If we treat the Cordu Village disaster as a story, what does White Paper symbolize in this story?"
Franca and the others looked at each other, each lost in thought.
After a few seconds, Franca carefully said, "I don't know what the contract creature White Paper symbolizes, but when the concept of white paper is connected to the story, it symbolizes..."
She paused, her throat inexplicably tight, her voice unconsciously becoming deeper.
"It symbolizes the state before a story is written-it symbolizes the beginning of everything."
