Chapter 309: Sense of Contradiction Lumian was quite frank, and recounted how he had hidden in underground Trier amidst the aura of disgust and loathing, and how he had met Janna. Franka smiled awkwardly and changed the subject: "How can you be disgusting and disgusting? You are not out of control." She had encountered several cases of Beyonders from the Hunter Path getting out of control, and most of them showed traits that attracted hatred from those around them, which was the main reason why they were quickly eliminated. Lumian briefly explained: "I got a sealed object. The negative effect is that it will turn you disgusting and repulsive for an hour after you remove it." "What if you don't take it off?" Janna asked curiously. Lumian raised the corners of his mouth and said: "Then it will soon become an alarm, constantly attracting the official Beyonders around to capture me." "It seems to like attracting attention." Franca teased with a smile.
“After all, it’s a guy who loves ‘respectability’.” Lumian said meaningfully, and then added casually, “Its ability is mainly ‘bribery’, with a little bit of ‘distortion’.” Because he would most likely have to cooperate with Franca to deal with the parish priest Guillaume Bennet, he took the initiative to reveal the situation of the "Dignity" brooch, but did not go into too much detail, especially the strength and range of its ability. After all, a magical item is a Beyonder's trump card, and if someone knows the trump card clearly, he would feel insecure. Just like in the previous operation, Franca mainly informed the information about the "Ring of Punishment" but did not mention the situation of the brass revolver and other items. There is communication, there is concealment, there is trust, and there is also the most basic precautions, which requires a good balance. Franka did not ask further questions, but thought about it and said: "It corresponds to the Sequence 7 'Briber' and Sequence 6 'Corrupted Baron' of the 'Black Emperor' pathway. It looks like a 'Corrupted Baron' died, and his Beyonder characteristics were released, naturally combining with the things on his body to form a seal, and his original abilities were not well displayed." "'Black Emperor'?" Lumian had never heard of this sequence name, and neither had Janna. "The name of the deity of the 'Lawyer' path." At this point, Franka unconsciously lowered her voice and said with interest, "It is rumored that before the death of Emperor Roselle, he had become the 'Black Emperor' and became a true deity!" Lumian and Janna were speechless for a moment. They looked at each other, both a little shocked. As orthodox Intis people, Emperor Roselle's position in their hearts is difficult for Franka to accurately estimate. He, no, He actually became a god? "Rumors, rumors, just rumors." Franca added quickly to avoid damaging her image in Janna's heart as someone who could be trusted completely. After exchanging a few words, Janna opened the wooden box in her right hand and took out the box inside. They each contained a small, dark-colored honeycomb-shaped heart, a sac-like object that secreted a little dark green liquid, and a small section of a blackened trachea-like object. Franka examined it for a few seconds, then nodded slightly. "The heart of the Devil's Throat Honey, the poison sac of the Dark Lurker, the main ingredients are all there. Well, the Dark Lurker is a unique two-headed snake. "We also have the syrinx of the Devil's Throat Honey. We only need blue mandrake juice, water fern powder, walnuts, and pure water... I already have blue mandrake juice, and the remaining three auxiliary materials are easy to obtain." Water fern powder...Lumian remembered that this was also an auxiliary ingredient in the "Provocateur" potion, which means "easily influenced by the words of others." From this perspective, "Instigator" and "Provocateur" are somewhat similar, and "Hunter" and "Witch" are indeed adjacent paths that can be interchanged. Seeing that Janna was a little anxious and seemed to want to go to the corresponding store to buy water fern and walnuts and prepare pure water overnight, Franca specifically reminded her: "Don't be too hasty. Adjust your condition first. Although you have already digested the 'Assassin' potion, judging from the situation in recent years, the probability of losing control if you drink the 'Instigator' now is very low. But why not do it if you can do better? Wouldn't it be better to reduce the probability of losing control to a negligible level?"
"I wonder what kind of monster the 'Instigator' will become if he loses control." Lumian stroked his chin and cooperated. Janna glared at him, sat on the sofa, closed her eyes, and adjusted her breathing rhythm. Lumian then fell back on the single sofa next to him, resting his arms on the armrests on both sides, and looked at Franca and said: "Have you collected the real mummy's ashes?" "No." Franca shook her head helplessly. "I've already opened the price up to 500 Fergold 10 grams, but the ones they brought are still fake. They're really useless. They don't even have the ability to identify them!" “Only 500 Fel Gold?” Lumian sneered, “Aren’t you rich?” "Normally 10 grams of Felkin costs just over a hundred. 500 is already a lot, okay?" Franca responded unhappily, "Besides, I don't have much money right now." Lumian nodded, and probably understood why Franka was suddenly poor. She did not truly complete the mission of infiltrating the "Iron Cross", but only assisted Lumian in achieving his goal. Therefore, the reward she received was not one of the main materials of the "Pleasure Witch", but the qualification to purchase the main materials of the "Pleasure Witch" and enjoy a discount. "How much more do you need?" Janna opened her eyes quickly and tried to help. Franka shook her head. "I can't get the real thing with 500 Felkins, and the same goes for 1000. It will only make people think I'm a fool and wait for me to offer a higher price." She then looked at Lumian: "What are your recent plans?" If she was not in a hurry, she could wait for half a month or a month, and she would definitely be able to get the real mummy's ashes. But since Lumian needed help next week, she felt it was necessary to consider going to the Star Plateau in the southern continent to look for the real mummy. Lumian understood Franka's hidden meaning and said as if he was thinking: "Look for an opportunity to start a fire and digest the potion." In that way, he can obtain the gift of "the one who receives the contract" and can obtain different abilities from different creatures through contracts. Judging from the information currently available, the newly promoted "Contracted Person" can only sign three contracts. Lumian plans to choose three from the four options: "Ability to target spirits or spirits", "Preliminary teleportation ability", "Certain camouflage ability" and "Ability similar to 'invisibility' or 'shadow hiding'". However, this still needs to be determined based on the information of the spiritual beings. Perhaps those creatures who are willing and suitable to sign a contract with Lumian do not have similar abilities. The only thing Lumian could be sure of was that all creatures in the spirit world had the ability to "travel through the spirit world", which was a preliminary teleportation ability. The only difference was how fast or slow it was. If he signed a "blank paper", he might only be able to teleport a dozen or twenty meters each time. If he wanted to rely on it to go to the southern continent, he would be so tired that he would lose control and it would be impossible. "'Arson'...what do you think?" Franca sat cross-legged on the armchair. Lumian repeated the first rule he had summarized for playing the role of "arsonist". "The upright position is agitation, the reversed position is incitement, both can help you digest the potion." Franca gave advice based on her own experience, "It's not difficult, go to the docks tomorrow and incite the dock workers to go on strike, with the slogan being to fight for better pay." Lumian shook his head slowly: “If organizing them to strike has a good chance of helping them gain benefits or achieve their desired goals, then I will try it, but if it will only bring them disaster, I don’t like to do it. "I hate taking advantage of others and not giving them any benefit but bringing them harm, unless there is really no other way, in which case anyone can be sacrificed. "There was a guy who always said that only by uniting together could we rob others and get enough food. But who would have thought that when we united and fought with others for food, he took advantage of the chaos and ran away with the food." "You have quite a lot of experience." Franca looked at Lumian again and felt that he was more than just a "Muggle"'s brother. Jana had similar feelings.
Franka then sighed: "As expected, you are more inclined to encourage the right side. If it were me, I would probably do the same. Although I would say it more harshly, in fact, haha, I can't bear it." Lumian glanced at her and said thoughtfully: "I feel like you're a very contradictory person. Sometimes you're experienced, you've seen a lot, you know a lot, and you have a strong ability to analyze things. And sometimes, you're stupid, simple, and naive." Lumian had only seen a similar contradictory temperament in one other person, his sister Aurore. Franka, who was irritated by Lumian's three consecutive words, blurted out: "Are you trying to provoke me? How am I stupid or naive?" After she finished speaking, she saw Janna's disapproving look. "Ahem." Franka cleared her throat and continued, "This is because I have the most basic kindness and expectations for the world. I still love life after recognizing its cruelty. Alas, most of us are like this. Only a few people are strong-minded, determined, smart, and flexible. They never seem to be bothered by the difficulties of things and moral dilemmas." The Curly-haired Baboon Research Society? Why are there such similarities? Lumian nodded and didn't ask any more questions. Because Janna planned to collect the remaining auxiliary materials tomorrow and be promoted to "Instigator", he quickly left White Coat Street and returned to the Golden Rooster Hotel. As he walked up the stairs, Lumian saw the intelligence dealer Anthony Reid coming down with a suitcase. "Planning to move?" Lumian asked. "Yeah." Anthony Reid, still wearing military green camouflage clothes, nodded slightly. Lumian laughed and said: "Didn't you say there was still something to do in the market area?" "The clue is broken." Anthony Reid sighed softly. The clue is broken? Lumian suddenly remembered that he had seen a congressman's campaign poster in the other party's room, so he asked tentatively: "Because Hugues Artois is dead?" (End of this chapter)
