Request

Gardner·Martin has long been accustomed to Lumian's frankness and directness. He nodded lightly and said, "If you want to get it quickly, I have three items here that are of equal value to 'Werewolf' and Teeth.

"The first one is 'Shadow Bracelet', which is Mystical Item. It can help you hide in a shadow that is larger than yourself. It allows you to summon 'shadow servants' with a small number of special abilities. It can activate the shadows and allow them to restrain the target to a certain extent.

"It is an ominous thing. Among the people who have used it, more than one-third have gone crazy. Another third have mysteriously disappeared suddenly and never appeared again without wearing it. Many of the remaining people seem to be fine, but they often say that they suffer from tinnitus and have auditory hallucinations.

"In recent years, no one dares to use this Mystical Item unless there are special circumstances."

Then why did you ask me if I want it? Do you think I look like Madman or a fool? Lumian expressed his doubts with his eyes.

Gardner·Martin smiled and simply explained, "I am one of the few people who has used 'Shadow Bracelet' without any problems. I have a way to weaken its negative effects, but I can only tell you if you choose it."

When did you have the illusion that there was nothing wrong with you? Lumian held his breath and did not say what was in his heart.

In his opinion, those who have suffered from No. 13 Market Avenue's "abnormal" Corruption's Gardner·Martin are not necessarily any better than those who have gone crazy or disappeared mysteriously.

According to "Magician" Lady's description of Corruption, the Gardner·Martin standing here may not necessarily be the same person as the previous Gardner·Martin.

Gardner·Martin glanced at him, smiled and said, "Actually, you don't need to be so reserved in front of me. This makes you not like a person who has not yet been promoted. Sequence 6's 'Hunter', if you really want to say something that can 'Provocation' hit me, I'll just come back sarcastically. Look, isn't Albus alive and well?"

"Yes, 'Chief'." Of course Lumian couldn't tell the other party. Most of the words he forcibly endured were secrets that "Iron and Blood Cross Order" couldn't know.

Gardner·Martin left Armchair and continued, "The second item is Beyonder Characteristic left by a 'Spirit Medium'. Do you know what Beyonder Characteristic is?"

Lumian replied calmly, "Killing extraordinary creatures can yield one of the Main Ingredients prepared with Potion, and killing Beyonder will definitely yield the corresponding rewards. Things, just like the golden red transparent Orb of 'Hammer' Ait and this 'Werewolf' Teeth.

"I think this should be Beyonder Characteristic. They all correspond to one kind of Potion. There is no need to collect additional Main Ingredient, right?"

Gardner·Martin nods in appreciation:

"Yes, your judgment is accurate."

He did not talk about "Law of the Indestructibility of Beyonder Characteristics" specifically, but seemed to think that it would involve a lot of Concealment, which is not what Lumian can know now.

Gardner·Martin walked back and forth for a few steps in front of the unlit fireplace with his hands behind his back. "'Spirit Medium', from the name you can guess what kind of abilities the Mystical Item made from it will have compared to the picture book. Of course, what can be obtained depends on the level of 'Artisan'.

"If nothing else happens, it should be a combination of two or three of the 'Death's Eye' who disguised themselves as Living Corpse, endured the corrosion of rot, cold, death and other auras, found out the weaknesses of Undead, directly communicated with Nature Spirit and various Undeads in the real world, and used them to achieve various magical effects. If you are lucky enough, you will even have them all.

"Try not to carry this Beyonder Characteristic with you, otherwise you will become the target of hatred from the surrounding Nature Spirit and Undead, and you may encounter strange attacks at some point."

It sounds very powerful, but it is a bit similar to "Contracted One", which relies on other creatures to obtain power... Lumian thought for a few seconds and said, "Where is the third one?"

Gardner·Martin walked back to Armchair:

"That is also a copy of Beyonder Characteristic. If you carry it, you will find that you become quite lucky, which is reflected in the details of various things.

"The corresponding name of Sequence is 'Lucky One', but you have to remember that a lucky carnival is often a precursor to Calamity, and it may make you see things you shouldn't see."

"Monster"Pathway's Sequence 7? Lumian remembered the content on Aurora's Witchcraft Notes.

"Monster" Pathway is also called "Destiny" Pathway. It is a Pathway that is famous for its high inspiration and is closely connected with Destiny.

Lumian chuckled and said, "'Lucky One' unfortunately turned into Beyonder Characteristic?

"This is a very ironic joke."

Gardner·Martin agrees:

"Don't underestimate bad luck, and don't rely on luck, otherwise you will become Beyonder Characteristic."

"It's very Philosophy." Lumian remembered this sentence full of experience and lessons.

He carefully recalled Gardner·Martin's introduction just now, and found that he did not skimp on the information corresponding to Sequence.

Just his descriptions of the abilities of "Spirit Medium" and "Lucky One" are enough to sell a lot of Occult Gathering for a good price.

Gardner·Martin pointed to the black and green Fang on the ground:

"It is 'Werewolf' Beyonder Characteristic. After turning into Mystical Item, it should be able to provide one or more of the effects of strong self-healing ability, transform into Werewolf, sacrifice Rationality in exchange for a short-term burst.

"But you have also seen that 'Werewolf' is always affected by the desire to kill and bloodthirsty, and when there is a full moon or Blood Moon, there is a hidden danger of losing Rationality and being unable to control it.

"Have you decided which item to choose now? If you choose Beyonder Characteristic, I can help you contact a 'Artisan' to pay the production cost on your behalf. This is the reward you deserve for your contribution tonight."

Is the "Artisan" you're looking for Saint? How would you react if you found out that I was hiding "Shadow Tree Branch"? Lumian was mumbling, thinking seriously about which one to choose.

He first ruled out "Shadow Bracelet", the Mystical Item that was suspected to be Mr. K and Pathway. There might be something similar in the rewards provided by Mr. K in the next few days. But there is a better choice, and the negative impact of "Shadow Bracelet" is really too dangerous. Even if Gardner·Martin claims that he has a way to weaken it, Lumian does not dare to take the risk.

The most important thing is that such an adventure doesn't make much sense.

"'Spirit Medium' can make up for my shortcomings, but it doesn't match well with 'Shadow Tree Branch'. I can't create a Mystical Item with the effect of 'human ghosts lingering'... Well, some of its characteristics overlap with 'Contracted One'...

"'Lucky One' can make 'Shadow Tree Branch' always inspire appropriate desires? 'Werewolf' sacrifices Rationality and is affected by killing and bloodlust. These two points are also consistent with 'Shadow Tree Branch'. I wonder what kind of Mystical Item it will create..."

Lumian After thinking about it, it took several minutes to make a decision:

"I want 'Lucky One'."

The most critical reason why he gave up "Werewolf" Beyonder Characteristic is that it may bring Negative Effect that lost Rationality to the final Mystical Item.

If it were someone else, he could also find a way to reduce the final impact, such as using it in situations where there were only enemies, such as avoiding the full moon or Blood Moon, but Lumian couldn't. If he lost Rationality once, he might be exploited by Termiboros, making it impossible for the seal to maintain balance.

In addition, he himself can be regarded as a Beyonder in the field of Fate. In the future, if the Sequence becomes higher, he may be able to indirectly improve the effect of that Mystical Item through the "Lucky One" trait.

As for seeing things that you shouldn't see, Lumian who already has "Mystery-Peering Glasses" doesn't mind having one more similar thing.

Gardner·Martin was slightly surprised. He originally thought that Lumian would choose one between "Spirit Medium", Beyonder Characteristic and "Shadow Bracelet".

He quickly returned to normal, without asking any further questions, and said with a smile, "Human beings are always obsessed with good luck."

This Boss of Savoie Gang, "Chief" of "Iron and Blood Cross Order", briefly left Living Room and went up the stairs.

A few minutes later, he came back with a clear glass jar originally used to hold candy.

There was an eyeball of Mercury-Colored lying quietly inside the jar, slowly turning left and right, up and down, as if it were still alive.

"The way to carry it with you and store it in daily life is to put it in a small dark space." Gardner·Martin said while using black cloth strips to layer the glass jar Entanglement.

When he handed the item to Lumian, he gave the last instruction. "Change a jar for it every seven days."

"Thank you 'Chief'." Lumian stuffed the glass jar containing "Lucky One" Beyonder Characteristic into his trouser pocket.

Gardner·Martin is not surprised why he didn't ask to contact "Artisan", because the ultimate effect of a Mystical Item is a secret that is known to as few people as possible for the owner. It is more conducive to keep it secret if you find "Artisan" that you don't know.

Just as these thoughts flashed across his mind, Lumian already took the initiative to mention this matter:

"'Chief', I want to exchange the free 'Artisan' for other rewards."

Gardner·Martin asked curiously, "What reward do you want?"

Lumian smiled:

"Find me someone."

"Who?" Gardner·Martin had a vague guess.

Lumian's expression gradually became calm:

"Guillaume·Béné.

"You know I'm from Cordou Village, and I must have seen the wanted notice for That One Parish Priest.

"I have been tracking him and want to catch the cultist who brought me Calamity. I just received information that he may appear in Red Princess District next week. I would like to ask you, 'Chief', to help find him."

Gardner·Martin laughed:

"I originally thought you wanted to do it by yourself, Pain endure it, track it alone, and Concealment take revenge.

"Yes, I know how to use the power of the organization earlier than I expected. This is also something that 'Hunter' needs to understand.

"I agree to your request."
