Lumian was not in a hurry to look through the thick stack of Spirit World Creature materials, and put them together with Aurora's Witchcraft Notes into the Tinplate cabinet that was added some time ago.

He has other things to do now.

He unscrewed the cap of the wide-mouth bottle, put his hand into the green spirit, and grabbed the Broom Brooch named "Dignity".

Lumian plans to try the capabilities and characteristics of Sealed Artifact and the strength of Negative Effect now.

You can't wait until the actual battle to get familiar with it. By then, you won't be able to grasp it at all, and you won't be able to form an effective enough coordination with your own Extraordinary Ability and attack rhythm.

Similarly, how strong the negative impact is must be tested now while the body is in good condition, and cannot be hurriedly endured after a battle in which both body and mind are traumatized.

By grasping the characteristics of Negative Effect in advance, Lumian can make a truly effective choice in time that can avoid most of the effects after being forced to use "Dignity".

If a "Hunter" is not familiar with his "weapons", he will easily fail!

Lumian put the Brooch carved into Broom in front of him and began to concentrate and try his best to sense it.

During this process, he felt the wind blowing in from the window, so he felt something in his heart, stood up, stretched out his right hand, and closed the half-open window.

With this action, the wind in the room suddenly disappeared, as if it was completely blocked from Glass Window.

Lumian then turned around, walked to the door, opened the door and closed it gently.

This place Safe House suddenly became quiet, as if it had become a sealed space isolated from the outside world.

Lumian sat down again, letting his body emit a feeling that would make small animals disgust and hate.

This is an application of the "Provocation" ability.

Almost at the same time, a squeaking sound was heard, and a Rat came out from nowhere, baring its teeth and claws at Lumian.

Lumian flexed his index finger and thumb and flicked them quite casually.

A little red spark flew out and landed on the black-haired Rat, burning it so hard that it squeaked and screamed.

This Rat was burned extremely Pain, got rid of the influence of "Provocation", and began to run around the room, looking for a way out of here.

But whether it was the crack in the door or the rat hole it originally dug, it was sealed by invisible forces, blocking it back.

It lacks the ability to "open the door".

Lumian nodded with satisfaction and used this Rat to experiment with other abilities of "Dignity" and Brooch.

It was twelve or thirteen minutes. Lumian, who could not accurately grasp the time without a pocket watch, erred on the side of caution and took off "Dignity" Brooch and threw it into the green liquor.

At the same time, he popped out a small ball of Crimson Fireball again, ending the life of the Rat. The room was filled with the aroma of roasted grease.

Lumian put away the wide-mouth bottle and took out Safe House, ready to test how disgusting and disgusting it can be.

In the evening, when all the Gas Streetlamp lights were on, as soon as he walked out of the Apartment gate, he felt that the pedestrians and vendors around him all turned to look at him.

They seemed to have seen what they hated most, and they wanted to attack Lumian with their knives, wine bottles or iron pots for cooking food.

"Lion"Charles's iconic golden-black hair color prevented them from turning their impulse into reality.

This, this effect is equivalent to a large-scale "Provocation"... but it is not under my control...Lumian made a rough judgment, walked on the roadside under the unfriendly eyes, and moved closer to Market Avenue.

At this moment, two Polices wearing black uniforms, silver epaulettes and Pistol on their waists were patrolling by.

As soon as they saw Lumian, they immediately pointed at him and shouted, "Stop there, Police is coming for inspection!"

The effect is so powerful... Lumian turned around without saying a word and ran away.

"Stop!"

The two Police shouted a few words, pulled out Pistol at the same time, and aimed at the back of Lumian.

Lumian dodged the pedestrian's quietly stretched out right foot, made a sharp turn, turned into the alley that was mostly blocked by Barricades, and rushed into Underground Trier without looking back.

He didn't bring Carbide Lamp, nor did he have Darkvision, but "Pyromaniac" could create light for himself no matter what the environment.

Lumian had a red mass of Fireball on his head and shoulders. He easily got rid of the two Police and walked towards another Underground Trier Entrance near White Coat Street.

While walking, Lumian suddenly turned sideways and avoided a black shadow that shot out from the corner.

It was a snake-like creature with blue and black scales.

It propped up the front half of its body, spitting out its bright red core, and confronted Lumian aggressively.

It's not just disgusting and disgusting to humans... it has to be seen or touched to have an impact... Lumian sighed and shook his head, letting one of the balls of Fireball fly out, exploding the green-black poisonous snake into three pieces, and the burning aroma overflowed.

Since the intensity and scope of the negative impact had been basically determined, he no longer took "risks" and found a nearby Cavern with no living creatures, extinguished Fireball, sat in the dark, and waited quietly for the effect to disappear.

After an estimated hour, he stood up and once again created three clusters of crimson Fireball above his head, left shoulder, and right shoulder to illuminate the Tunnel in front of him.

Not long after, Lumian arrived at an exit next to White Coat Street, and saw a figure from Tunnel on the side carrying Carbide Lamp.

Lumian laughed, raised his right hand and waved:

"You have also become Rat who likes to be active in Underground Trier?"

The visitor is Jenna.

Jenna also saw him, frowned and said, "Did you use 'Provocation'? Why are you so annoying!"

"Almost." Lumian answered vaguely.

Jenna couldn't control the disgust in his heart and blurted out: hetushu·com·com "Fuck! Why did you use 'Provocation' on me?"

That's good. He didn't come over to beat me directly, which shows that he still treats me as a friend... When Negative Effect was about to disappear, the intensity was probably like this... Lumian smiled and simply explained, "Because of some encounters, I have been contaminated with a hateful atmosphere, and it will disappear soon."

He immediately changed the topic and looked at the light white shirt with the light yellow Long Dress, his hair hanging down smoothly, without any makeup, and wearing a small Sun Sacred Emblem and Jenna around his neck:

"Why are you here at Underground Trier?"

Now Jenna who looks like Memorial Hall District University Student curled her lips and said, "Meet those two 'Purifier'.

"Didn't you say that you want me to show off my Devout to Deity? I deliberately dressed like this according to the style advocated by Church, and also put on Sun Talisman. As a result, they led me to Underground Trier, saying they wanted to avoid passing pedestrians. Damn, it's weird to enter Underground Trier dressed like this, okay!"

Perhaps the negative impact caused by "Dignity" is really coming to an end. Jenna, who knew the cause, completely controlled his reaction and communicated his experience with Lumian in an emotionally stable manner.

"Is it effective?" Lumian glanced at the brown wooden box held in front of Jenna's right hand and did not rush to ask what it was.

Jenna said in confusion, "It worked. The attitude of the 'Purifier' named Valentine towards me has improved a lot. Imre has also had similar changes, but I don't know why. They seem to be more defensive and vigilant towards me."

"Maybe I think you are deliberately trying to please them, and I'm afraid you have other agendas." Lumian tried to analyze the mentality of the two "Purifier" and pointed to the wooden box held by Jenna with his chin, "Did they pay you?"

Jenna smiled unconsciously:

"Yes, they have verified the authenticity of the Deep Valley Quarry information, and told me that it is indeed very important. They gave me two Main Ingredient and one Auxiliary Ingredient of 'Instigator' Potion, and let me collect the rest by myself."

"Franca should have the remaining Auxiliary Ingredient there." Lumian said thoughtfully, "Sequence 8 Main Ingredient of Potion are not cheap, and can even be called precious. Is the information of Deep Valley Quarry really that important?"

What exactly is involved?

Jenna said "hmm":

"They didn't go into details, they just told me that due to the problems between Church, 'Purifier' can't directly access that Quarry now to do a complete investigation, but they will keep an eye on it to prevent the situation from getting worse.

"They also asked me to continue to contact Commissioner to see if I could get more information from the side. One of the Potion Main Ingredient is the advance payment."

"This is only reasonable." Lumian nodded slightly.

Jenna immediately sighed:

"I have fallen."

"Why do you say that?" Lumian raised his eyebrows.

Jenna grabbed his hanging hair:

"I should have asked for a sum of money first, paid off all the debts, and then considered the rest of the materials for 'Instigator'Potion."

"When you become 'Instigator', the money will be just a small thing." Lumian sneered, "You don't still want to be Underground Singer to pay off your debts, do you?"

Jenna was silent for a few seconds and said, "But I don't want to hurt others."

"Can't we just find that kind of bad guy?" Lumian worked hard to "set fire" in Jenna's heart.

"Damn it, you are 'Instigator', right?" Jenna muttered, then asked, "How much should I compensate Franca? We got that information together, I can't be the only one getting paid, she won't get anything."

Lumian laughed:

"Including the Potion Formula she gave you, even if you use the friend price, you still have to give her 20,000 Felkine."

"Twenty thousand Felkine..." Jenna said with a pained face, "I can only owe it now. Tell me, the higher the Sequence, the more money you owe? Potion Formula and the materials are so expensive..."

"But the ability to make money will be stronger." Lumian said, half encouraging and half comforting.

He immediately extinguished the three Fireball on his body, followed the Carbide Lamp light of Jenna, and walked towards the exit of Underground Trier.

After walking a few steps, Jenna asked in confusion, "Why do you have a Fireball on the top of your head and on both shoulders? What's the point of this?"

"Have you never heard that there are three lamps on a person's body, one on the head, one on the left shoulder, and one on the right shoulder?" Lumian asked.

"No." Jenna shook his head and asked curiously, "Is this Mysticism knowledge?"

"No, Folk Legend." Lumian smiled, "I thought it was cool, so I simulated it."

Jenna couldn't help but swear:

"Fuck! You are so childish!"

During the exchange, the two walked out of Underground Trier, and walked into No. 3 White Coat Street Apartment 601 under the suspicious eyes of Franca.
