After Franca put away the Beyonder Characteristic of the "Witch of Unaging" that had been shattered and reformed, the "Magician" Lady said to the three of them, "Except for some materials that are easy to find and only have symbolic meaning, everything else should be ready. All that's left is to prepare for the Ritual. I can provide assistance at any time."

"Thank you," Lumian said after a moment's thought. "Shall we leave now?"

The "Magician" Lady chuckled, "Beyonder Characteristic at the Angel level, especially Sequence 1, are not only few in number, but also quite rare, and their locations are relatively certain. If there's anything similar in this treasure, it can only be Sequence 2, and most likely from the ' Hunter ' Pathway."

Lumian pointed to the end of the deep corridor:

"As one of the Resurrection Arrangement of the ' Blood Emperor,' its corresponding Beyonder Characteristic are behind that Mirror, together with His ' Person in the Mirror,' and have even been merged and absorbed by His ' Person in the Mirror '?"

In other words, it is almost impossible to find Beyonder Characteristic at the Angel level, including "0" level Sealed Artifact, in the other rooms on both sides of the corridor, so there is no need for Lumian and the others to continue exploring.

Of course, this is only one reason. More importantly, the "Blue Avenger" belongs to Mr. "The Hanged Man," and this treasure vault is theoretically his as well, essentially his private property. He only allowed Lumian and the others to take the corresponding materials based on a promise. If Lumian and the others were to open other rooms and take other items, it would be disrespectful to the owner.

Lady "Magician" didn't explicitly say this, but the three "Witch" understood and all said they would leave now and go back to think about how to proceed with the Ritual.

The Hanged Man nodded without much Change in expression and said, "You can return through the Mirror World. Lady ' The Magician ' and I still have some matters to attend to."

"Okay," Lumian replied with a smile.

He could probably guess what Mr. The Hanged Man was planning to do.

As the captain of the "Blue Avenger," Mr. The Hanged Man has no Residual Aura Tudor's aura, nor the corresponding bloodline, and is not within the "Hunter" or "Witch" Pathway. He guards a treasure vault but finds it difficult to enter, and can only wait for Lumian to open the "gate." Only with the location and assistance of Lady. Magician can he enter. Of course, he cannot let this opportunity pass by; he must explore and obtain some useful items.

This could be a Level 1 Sealed Artifact that could enhance his strength, or it could be related to Beyonder Characteristic that could help him cultivate more and stronger subordinates, or it could be a special item that could come in handy at a crucial moment, or it could point to some secrets of the Tudor Empire.

It was none of Lumian's business how others explored their treasure vaults. He took out a Mirror, led Franca and Jenna out of the vault, and then used "Teleportation" to return to the Luxury Villa in Trier.

Since the matter of Madame Pualis and the baby Ombella had not yet been fully investigated, Lumian did not return to his rented Apartment to meet with his Subordinate Lugano, as he was wary of any potential issues related to the "Great Mother" on Lugano's persona.

"Where's Ludwig?" Jenna looked around the living room and asked Anthony, who was engrossed in reading the newspaper.

Anthony pointed to the annex of the Villa:

In the kitchen.

After eating Trier's food for a few days, he missed the food from Dream City and decided to try making it himself.

Suddenly, a scene flashed through the minds of Lumian and the others:

Ludwig moved a chair into the kitchen, then stood on it, struggling to control the kitchen utensils that seemed disproportionate to his size and height...

"I miss it too," Franca exclaimed excitedly. "Look, look, this is a professional ' Cook,' eight years old!"

Jenna nodded and said to Lumian and the others, "I'm going to the nearby Telegraph Office to send Telegram to Julian. He's going back to Trier and the library next week. I need to ask about the exact time and whether he'll be traveling by ship or Steam train."

She didn't rush to discuss her own Ritual, because a preliminary plan already existed:

Once Lumian became the "Witch of Unaging," borrowed the "Earth’s Gift," and established communication with the Church of Knowledge through the "Tarot Club," he took her to the "Banishment City" to use the Criminal there to advance his own career.

The only problem with this plan is that once Jenna successfully advances, she will become Sequence 4 Half-God, which conflicts with Morola's rules and will cause negative Change to "0-01".

The current solution is to ask the Church of Knowledge for help, to assist the "Magician" Lady, so that this Angel Pathway the "Gate" can teleport Jenna, who has just completed her ascension, away without entering Morola, using the pre-existing mark.

Lumian privately asked Jenna if she should consider using the "Sword of Courage" to transform into the "Iron-Blooded Knight." Given the current composition and teamwork of the group, the corresponding Ritual wouldn't be difficult with some time to adjust. However, Jenna still hoped to continue down the path of a pure Women Witch.

She told Lumian that this was her only special ability at the moment, and it would be gone once she became a "Hunter." This special ability represented both unknown and enormous risks, as well as possible opportunities and considerable gains. With the Apocalypse seemingly coming sooner than expected, she was willing to take the corresponding risks in exchange for a rapid increase in her Sequence and strength, so as to better protect those she wanted to protect.

Lumian didn't try to persuade him further, but simply sighed and uttered a common saying from the Dream City:

Fortune favors the bold.

After Jenna put on her sun hat, lowered her black veil to conceal her face, and left the Luxury Villa, Lumian asked Anthony, "Do you still want to continue the ' Psychic Alchemy Association's' mission?"

Anthony has been assigned to Lumian, the new "Chariot" man, and the mission originally given to him by "Lady Justice" can be completely terminated.

Before Anthony could respond, Lumian chuckled:

"You're about to become Sequence 4 ' Marionettist,' and those mind-manipulators would never allow a Half-God who wasn't raised by their organization to enter the core level."

--Anthony digested the Sequence 5 Potion "Dreamwalker" faster than Lumian and the others, because during this time, he had been active, walking, and doing things in the Real Dream of the Great Ones.

"Almost there?" Anthony asked doubtfully.

Have the big brands found the corresponding extraordinary materials?

It can't be that easy, can it? If it were that easy, Lady. Susie would have become Half-God long ago.

Lumian tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear and smiled, saying, "' Justice ' has been searching for an ancient Lady and has made some progress, but has always missed it. After Mr. ' The Fool ' began to awaken, he gave her an insight that should be very useful. We might see results soon."

Anthony nodded, considered for a few seconds, and said, "I want to continue to be involved with the ' Psychic Alchemy Association,' but I will no longer seek entry into the core."

"Once I become Half-God, I will also Concealment my true Sequence and interact with them in my current state. This is an excellent intelligence channel, and I don't want to give it up."

"Sure." Lumian did indeed need such intelligence channels.

After exchanging a few more words, he and Franca went upstairs to the second floor.

Stepping on the thick carpet in the corridor, Lumian turned his head to look at Franca:

"You no longer need to continue with the Witch Sect's mission."

This was a task given to her by the "Judgement" Lady, and since Franca is now under the command of "Chariot," Lumian is fully qualified to help her stop this.

Franca paused for a moment, then sighed and said, "Since you've chosen this path, I think it's necessary to figure out the situation of the ' Primordial Witch ' and the secrets of the Special Mirror World, and all of this is inseparable from the Witch Sect."

"Regardless of whether I've been exposed or not, even if I've been used by them and they've set a trap for me, it's still a good entry point. Having connections means having opportunities."

Lumian looked at Franca without saying a word.

Franca felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze, so she smiled and asked, "Aren't you touched?"

"Yes." Lumian nodded.

"Hmph... Why aren't you being stubborn this time? I don't know how to respond..." Franca muttered. "Actually, Jenna also has this idea of continuing down the ' Witch ' Pathway."

Before Lumian could speak again, she abruptly changed the subject:

"I have a question, just out of curiosity."

"If you briefly use the ' War Bishop ' power within the seal, will your body experience Change?"

Normally, the physical changes brought about by the Gift Power, unless they cause an immediate collapse, are accumulated over time and occur gradually. However, the Gift Power of the "Hunter" and "Witch" Pathway inherently possess the characteristic of altering the body.

"Yes, the body will, but the Spirit Body won't," Lumian explained simply.

Taking Potion to change one's gender will also cause corresponding Change to Spirit Body. For example, when Franca's Astral Body roamed the Spirit World, her appearance was still Women. However, the changes brought about by the Gift are limited to the body and spirit. In other words, even if Lumian used the power of the "War Bishop" within the seal to return to Men state, her Spirit Body would still look like "Lumian-na".

Franca was immediately excited:

"Can I try it? Let me see?"

If that works, then in the future we can seek the corresponding Gift. At that time, we can be men if we want to be men, women if we want to be women, or neither men nor women if we want to be neither!

Since Lumian's goal is to Resurrection Aurora, which means he will reach a very high level, there will be no hidden dangers in seeking a temporary Gift from him.

Before Lumian could respond, Franca shook her head again:

"Forget it, the ' Lie ' ear clip uses corresponding supernatural power to change the body, so there won't be any Pain. The changes brought about by this kind of Gift Power are inherent to the power itself; they are forced, uncontrollable, and definitely Pain. Forget it."

"Having been the ' Witch of Pain ' and the ' Witch of Despair,' what's there to be Pain of?" Lumian joked, her body suddenly changing.

It was a mixture of the undulation of flesh and the creaking of bones.

Lumian's face Distortion for a few seconds before freezing in its original Men form, but he looked even more handsome and exuded a more masculine Charm.

Franca looked at it with a mixture of pity and curiosity, then said, "It really works..."

Her Eyes flickered slightly, and she added to Lumian:

Could you close your eyes for a moment?

Lumian did not refuse.

Then he heard Franca sigh and say, "We all know that you see Women's body as your Older Sister's, and you won't do anything ambiguous with Women's body unless she agrees. We respect your thoughts and respect Aurora herself, but... but we still want to see Lumian occasionally, to hug Lumian..."

Just as Lumian was about to speak, a warm sensation suddenly touched her lips.

After a peaceful, tranquil, and sweet entanglement, Franca withdrew.

Lumian opened her eyes and saw that she was actually a few points taller than her.

Instinctively, Lumian looked down and discovered that several layers of ice crystal steps had formed beneath Franca's feet.

Franca opened her eyes wide and said, "This time it was my initiative. I feel that kissing you from top to bottom better reflects how we feel right now!"

"Whatever," Lumian said noncommittally.

Franca jumped down the ice crystal steps and sighed again:

"Change back to normal, and be less affected by the Gift Power."

She immediately pursed her lips, clapped her hands, and said with a smile, "It's almost the Apocalypse, and everyone's in this situation, so let's just make do for now!"
