Chapter 186 Three Items (asking for guaranteed monthly ticket) When Lumian first entered the basement, he noticed the items on the three silver plates. They are an ordinary-looking white glove, a pair of brown gold-rimmed glasses, and a button that looks like it's made of gold. Seeing that Lumian was already looking at the magical item, Mr. K, who was sitting on a red-backed chair, introduced it in a hoarse voice: "That glove is called 'Circus'. It can provide you with some weak but quite unique mystical means, including blowing a gust of wind, creating a fog, using a sudden burst of flash to affect the target's vision, freezing the enemy by touch, etc. It can also open most doors without the use of keys, and can take you directly through solid walls. “This meets your need for occult methods, but you must remember that even if you just carry it with you, it will cause you to get lost more frequently, and sometimes, getting lost will lead to unfortunate encounters. "Price: Felkins." For example, the Sequence 8 "Master of Magic" of the "Apprentice" path mentioned in Aurore's Witchcraft Notes... Although those abilities are not strong, if they are only used as auxiliary, combined with traps or my close combat and pistol shooting, they may have miraculous effects at certain times... Lumian is quite satisfied with the positive effects of the "Circus" gloves. This can effectively make up for his lack of mystical means and his weakness of being powerless to resist in certain scenarios. But the negative effects are also very serious. For a "hunter" who is good at tracking and identifying roads, getting lost more frequently means completely losing one of his strengths and being prone to misfortune at any time. Moreover, this does not need to be worn, even if it is just stuffed into a pocket, Lumian will be affected. Mr. K turned his body slightly, looked at the pair of brown gold-rimmed glasses, and said to Lumian: "Do you remember the painting from the last party?"
Painting? Lumian suddenly recalled the painting that made him dizzy at the mere sight of it. It is said that the painting was drawn by a certain extraordinary person before his death. The colors are bright, the patterns are strange, and the scenes are psychedelic, as if the painter had gone completely crazy before his death. “Remember.” Lumian nodded. Mr. K continued: "After the owner of the painting died, his extraordinary characteristics mixed with strange powers merged with his glasses to form a very unique magical item. "It allows the wearer to see things that are invisible otherwise, and occasionally to some extent to see the reality of the world..." Hearing this, Lumian suddenly remembered what Aurore had said - "Don't look at what you shouldn't look at, and don't listen to what you shouldn't listen to." He couldn't help but complain in his heart: "Aren't these glasses the exact opposite of what they do? They're almost like a suicide weapon! "This has nothing to do with my two needs..." Mr. K glanced at Lumian, and his hoarse voice echoed in the small basement: “After seeing the world from another perspective and seeing many things that were not originally visible, the wearer will be filled with the urge and desire to paint, and each painting produced in this way will have a little supernatural effect. For example, if you paint a sea, it will make the witness feel slightly drowning. "In the same way, you should be able to imagine that when you paint on your own face with various cosmetics instead of on a canvas, you can achieve a very good disguise effect and make everyone who tries to observe your face carefully be tempted to believe for a certain period of time that this is what you really look like. “Remember, after you put on your ‘new’ face, you must never look in the mirror again, otherwise you will think that is the real you, and then, from the outside to the inside, your body and mind will change little by little, and you will gradually become a different person. "Similarly, you can't keep that new face forever. After more than three hours, your self-perception will slowly be affected by it until you completely believe that you are it and it is you." It sounded like hypnosis and suggestion from the "psychiatrist" path, but the other aspects were completely different... Combined with the death of the painter, could this be the power or aura left by some evil god? Lumian quickly analyzed the possible extraordinary realm of the magical item. Mr. K cast his eyes on the pair of brown glasses: “Its owner was originally a ‘lawyer’, so it can also help you distort the target’s thoughts, cognition and conclusions to a certain extent through language, actions or a series of processes. “You should have guessed its negative effects. Seeing things you shouldn’t see and seeing the truth of the world without adequate protection will cause you to encounter unknown dangers. Maybe one day, you will die strangely like the painter, leaving behind only a painting that is difficult to interpret.
"Price: Felkins." The corresponding Sequence 9 "Lawyer"? The strange power attached to it? Well, this does not reflect the complete ability of the "Lawyer". Aurore's witchcraft notes say that "Lawyers" have excellent eloquence and logical thinking, and are good at discovering loopholes in the rules and the weaknesses of the opponent, so as to create an atmosphere that is beneficial to themselves and achieve the final victory. They can also influence the judgment, thoughts and conclusions of the target through language, actions and preset processes. In addition, they are very good at using the power of order... Lumian went over the corresponding mystical knowledge in his mind. As for the manifestation of "lawyer" traits, such as how to use the power of order, he had no idea what it looked like, because Aurore didn't know either. Overall, the pair of brown gold-rimmed glasses fully met Lumian's need for a better disguise, and also provided some mystical means that required advance preparation but were not as troublesome and complicated as the five ritual magics of the "Mendicant Monk". The only problem is, it's damn dangerous! Lumian pondered for a while, but did not make a final decision, waiting for Mr. K to introduce the golden button. Soon, Mr. K's hoarse voice sounded again: "It's called 'Flare', after a dead 'Light Prayer'. “It allows you to bring additional benefits such as courage and strength through singing, allows you to sense the existence of undead creatures and evil and filthy things, and use some spells and rituals in the solar domain, which is very suitable for dealing with targets such as undead spirits. "After putting it on, you will be eager to sing, find it unbearable to be in the dark and cold, and will unconsciously yearn for sunshine and warmth. If you have not taken it off for more than two quarters of an hour, you will become a true believer of the 'Eternal Sun' and praise the sun devoutly. "The price is twenty thousand Felgin." It can solve my problem of not being able to fight against the undead spirits, and the negative effects are still bearable... The problem is that the targets that can be targeted are too limited... Lumian fell into deep thought, not knowing which item to choose. His mind told him that he should choose between "Flare" and "Circus", but he could never make up his mind. He preferred the brown pair of gold-rimmed glasses, which satisfied both of his needs. If he only wears it before trying disguise or painting something with a certain supernatural effect, and chooses a safe enough environment, he can effectively avoid most of the negative effects and avoid seeing things he shouldn't see and the so-called reality of the world. In other words, it was not an item that had to be worn all the time, and Lumian could choose the occasions to use it. In this way, he could create a "spiritual wall" in advance, just like performing the "dance of summoning", and exclude abnormal things. Thinking of the seal on his body, the "coincidence" of fate, and the "dance of summoning" that he would have to perform from time to time, Lumian said with a mentality that he would not be so worried if he had too much debt: "I want those glasses." Mr. K seemed a little surprised at his choice, and after a few seconds he said: "you sure?" “Sure.” Lumian took out a small cloth bag filled with banknotes and counted out Felkins. Mr. K did not persuade him any further, but laughed in a hoarse voice: "You're crazier than I expected." He seemed to appreciate it. After asking the waiter to take the Felkins and handing the pair of brown glasses to Lumian, Mr. K nodded and said: "You can try it now. It's safe enough here." Lumian stroked the frame and found that it was made of metal but had a strange rubbery feel. Let’s just call you “Mystery Peering Glasses”… Lumian thought of the extraordinary path his sister was on. The next second, he put the pair of brown gold-rimmed glasses on his nose. Almost at the same time, he saw multiple images from different angles: There was the mottled ceiling, a little blood in the corner, the back of Mr. K that he should not have seen, and the waiters guarding the corridor outside the door...
Lumian also saw a darkness, a shadow, a gaze from somewhere unknown, and a face hidden in the shadow: The fluffy black hair, delicate face, sunken eye sockets, dark pupils and ageless skin were all hidden by the hood and could only be seen from a bottom-up angle. That's Mr. K's face? Lumien suddenly understood. Images from different perspectives and positions filled his mind, making him feel dizzy uncontrollably. His whole state became increasingly abnormal, and he had an increasing desire to paint it all. Lumian quickly took off his "secret glasses" and his vision immediately returned to normal, but the urge to paint still remained in his heart. He exhaled and said: "It's still bearable." Mr. K simply reminded: “Try to use it in familiar, safe situations.” After saying goodbye to Mr. K and leaving the headquarters of "Psychic" magazine, Lumian took a carriage back to the Honest Market area. When he passed by the memorial area, he thought of one thing: “I need to prepare some canvas, brushes, paints… "Although I can only draw simple sketches, and they are not very good, the quality of the painting should have nothing to do with the supernatural effects attached to it. Maybe the more distorted and uglier it is, the better the effect..." A quarter of an hour later, Lumian, who had gotten off the carriage early, found a shop selling oil painting-related items. As soon as he heard the price, he couldn't help but ask back: "What? 160 Felkins? "One hundred and sixty filgins for a roll of canvas?"
