Eye of Wisdom Gathering

Luther currently faces two main problems.

First, his mental state.

Although his lucid moments were getting longer as the Potion was absorbed and with the use of Mirror and sedatives, his madness could not be eliminated and even worsened, with Ms. M's phantom appearing frequently.

Second, his two enemies.

Lanevus, carrying the Divine Scion, escaped from the Aurora Order and his whereabouts are now unknown. Will Ince, who caused his current state, is likely Sequence 4 Demigod, and possesses Grade 0 Sealed Artifact —something Lanluus cannot currently defeat.

So what he should do next is continue to Acting and digest the Potion; at the same time, track down Lanevus and eliminate him as soon as possible to prevent the birth of the Divine Scion.

As for Ince Will, we can look for clues first and deal with him after our own Sequence increases. After all, the gap between Sequence 5 and Sequence 4 is too large to overcome.

I will definitely get revenge on him, but not now.

Luther thought to himself, "This is a reasonable judgment. Under normal circumstances, I am quite rational."

As for Lanevus, Klein is already looking for him. Perhaps I should also have the Lyman Gang Brothers help me track him down in the East Borough.

He thought to himself.

Time passed quickly, and before we knew it, it was the evening of the second day.

In the East Borough, in front of a house in a secluded alley.

The house was completely dark, with no lights on. Luther walked to the door and knocked rhythmically, following the instructions in the newspaper. He had changed his appearance and was no longer noticeable.

"Brush!"

Seven or eight seconds later, a wooden strip on the door was pulled open horizontally, revealing a pair of eyes behind it.

"You must wear a mask to enter!"

The person behind the door spoke in a hoarse voice.

Oh right, Darkwill mentioned this requirement to me before...

Luther had completely forgotten about such a trivial matter and was utterly unprepared.

"I forgot, I'm sorry."

He reached inside the other person's clothes and, where the other person couldn't see, began to weave together Flesh, quickly creating a blood-red mask. Then, he took the mask out and put it on his face.

"Come in."

The other person then opened the door; he was also wearing a mask.

Luther walked in, took the robe handed to him and put it on, then followed him through the dark living room and into the first-floor living room.

In the living room, only one candle was lit, and in the dim light, a group of people wearing masks and hooded robes sat on sofas and chairs.

In the dim candlelight, the long shadows of the group of people were cast on the wall, swaying incessantly.

They were all extraordinary.

The Shepherd's Characteristic within Luther were stirring, reminding him that there was a large herd of "Lamb" ready to Grazing before him.

He calmly suppressed the restless emotions within him, preventing himself from succumbing to madness and devouring the Grazing.

Although they are all extraordinary individuals, their overall Sequence is relatively low.

Luther's gaze swept over them, roughly assessing their Sequence.

Most of them are Sequence 9, Sequence 8 is very rare... That Old Man is at least Sequence 7, probably the organizer... Hmm?

He suddenly noticed two people in the crowd. One was a large man whose flesh spilled out from the sides of his mask, and the other was sitting in the corner wearing a mask that covered the upper half of his face, while the lower half was covered by a thick beard—he had seen this look once before.

Darkwill and Klein!

It's not surprising to see Darkwill here, but I didn't expect Klein to be here too.

Luther was slightly surprised, but he didn't show it. Instead, he continued walking inside and found an empty seat. Most people glanced at him because the red mask he was wearing was quite noticeable.

"I've also made some healing potions and aphrodisiac potions. One healing potion costs 5 pills, and the aphrodisiac costs 15 soli."

After glancing at the entrants, Darkwill turned and began hawking his potions, "The healing potion can quickly heal external injuries, and the aphrodisiac potion contains Mummy Powder; any man who's used it knows how wonderful it feels."

He spoke in a seductive tone.

It was probably because Darkwill had sold the potion many times before, and its effects were reliable; he quickly sold out his stock and made a lot of money.

"I want to sell a weapon and a batch of bullets with special abilities."

A woman whose face was completely obscured by shadow said, "The weapon is a Saw-Spear, with an intricate design that can change shape, transforming into a saw and a spear, costing 20 pounds. There are 20 bullets in total: 10 engraved with Runes of the Sun Domain, which can ward off evil, and 10 engraved with Runes of the Warrior Pathway, which are extremely powerful. Each bullet costs 1 Pound, for a total of 30 pounds."

This is exactly what I wanted! It matches my "Lucky Roulette" perfectly!

Luther thought to himself.

"I'll take the bullets."

He said it immediately.

"What a guy who spends money recklessly."

The Fat Apothecary muttered under his breath, "They're wasting money on a bunch of things with expiration dates."

Although the words were a bit harsh, Luther understood that he was being warned not to get scammed.

Hey! Don't disturb my business.

The woman said with dissatisfaction, "My bullets are effective for six months, which is enough for most situations."

"I see."

Luther nodded.

"To prove the reliability of my bullets, this transaction was witnessed by the 'Eye of Wisdom' gentleman."

Seeing that Luther hadn't changed his mind, the woman felt slightly relieved and, through a waiter, handed an iron box to the old man in the middle. He was sitting in a separate sofa chair, and was the only Sequence 7 in the gathering.

The old man, codenamed "Eye of Wisdom," took out a ring inlaid with green gemstones and diamonds from his pocket, put it on his hand, and then closed his eyes. Golden light emanated from his body, and as his hand pressed against the iron box, the light became even purer, eventually transforming into a seal-like pattern.

"True and effective!"

The old man said solemnly.

Is this the Sun Pathway's ability to "Notarization"?

Luther thought to himself, counted out 20 pounds in cash, handed it to the woman through the waiter, and took the box himself. When he opened it, he saw two neat rows of bullets inside. The bullets were covered with fine and intricate patterns, making them look harmonious and complete.

"Make more next time, and I'll buy them all."

He said to the other party.

"I didn't make this; I bought it from somewhere else."

The woman quickly explained, but then added, "However, if I can buy more, I'll bring them to the party."

After that, she sought the Lawyer Pathway Sequence 8 "Barbarian" Potion recipe, but no one answered.

The transactions continued, some successful and some unsuccessful.

"Cough cough."

At that moment, a hooded man spoke up.

I'm looking for someone.

He stood up and showed people a Portrait, saying, "If any of you have seen him, please let me know, and I will pay you £200."

Luther had just put away his bullets when he glanced casually at the Portrait, then froze in surprise.

The person in the painting has a warm and sincere face, with the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, and a hint of sarcasm hidden in his smile.

It's Lanevus.
