That dark-colored Coin Pouch was indeed a "Traveler’s Bag," containing three items:

It's made of brownish Sheepskin, has Triangular Dagger that are almost invisible, and is a black Revolver with complex Parts that have a strong mechanical aesthetic.

Lumian didn't rush to take out the reward, but instead unfolded the letter paper folded into a square:

Prize Description:

"' Iron-Blooded Knight ' Potion Formula: See for yourself."

"' The Traveler’s Bag ': Need I introduce it again?"

"' The Chilling Blade ': A Mystical Item crafted from the dust and remnants of ancient vengeful spirits."

"Any creature pierced by it, even without a wound, will fall into Freezing state of stiffness and uncontrollable thoughts, as if possessed by a ' Wraith '."

"At the same time, as the battle continues, even if the targets of the ' Chilling Blade ' do not make direct contact with it, their thoughts will gradually become slower and their movements will become stiff and sluggish."

"The Negative Effect is that the carrier's body gradually loses temperature and transforms into an undead being. Once the necessary time limit is exceeded, this process will be irreversible."

"Putting it in the ' Traveler’s Bag ' can effectively avoid the negative effects of carrying it. You just need to make sure the battle doesn't last more than three hours. Of course, as Sequence 5 of the ' Hunter ' Pathway, the ' Reaper,' even without using other methods to counteract the negative effects, you can at least last four hours."

Upon seeing this, Lumian immediately thought of the Golden Mask of the Aegis Family.

That mask can also transform the wearer into an undead, and provide protection for their spirit and consciousness, keeping them alive. Once the wearer removes the mask, they will easily regain their original state.

"If I wear the Golden Mask made by ' Death God,' will I be able to use ' The Chilling Blade ' without any problems? I'm already Undead, so there's no Negative Effect of gradually turning into a necromancer... No, if I wear that Golden Mask for too long, my body will truly die. Once I take off the mask, I'll die on the spot..." Lumian couldn't find any loopholes to exploit and sighed in disappointment.

He continued reading the last part of the letter:

"' Winter Is Coming ': This Revolver was discovered during our investigation of the ' Society of the End of All Things ' at the site of a Concealment but failed ritual. It was originally supposed to be a collectible art firearm, but it was Corruption during the ritual and became Beyonder weapon with a limited number of uses."

"The bullets it fires can carry away Corruption, which will produce two effects:"

"First, it Certain Hit. Even Saint will be hit if they don't use special abilities to avoid it. For Beyonder below Half-God, unless they switch their main body to a substitute before firing, or make the shooter a hallucination and unable to aim, they will definitely be hit. Simply put, if the shot is aimed at the main body at the moment of firing, it will hit the main body, and the substitute will be ineffective."

"Secondly, Certain Death. Even Saint, if they do not have the corresponding qualities and abilities, will suffer great injuries once they are hit, and will gradually die. As for Beyonder below the level of Half-God, unless they have a Stand-type ability, being hit is equivalent to death."

"You can't have both of these effects at the same time; you can only choose one at a time."

"Currently, it can still have these two effects applied four times. Once used up, ' Winter Is Coming ' will revert to a normal Revolver that begins to rust and break. Before it is used up, normal shots from ' Winter Is Coming ' will spread disease while creating wounds, and there is no pattern to what kind of disease it is."

"After each use of ' Winter Is Coming,' you must find a ' Apothecary ' or ' Doctor ' within the following week to provide corresponding treatment, even if there are no symptoms on the surface."

"If medical attention is not sought in time, one will inevitably develop a terminal illness—a terminal illness with Mysticism elements that cannot be cured by Low-Sequence ' Apothecary ' and ' Doctor '."

"This is a weapon that can harm Half-God... After the attack by ' Supervisor ' Perle's ' Person in the Painting,' the ' Magician ' and the Lady are consciously giving us items that can affect Half-God, but with a negative impact that we can barely bear?" The Doctor... Lumian turned halfway, casting his gaze towards the door.

Lugano was already up and preparing Ludwig's first meal of the morning.

After confirming the reward, Lumian reached into the "Traveler’s Bag" and took out a brownish Sheepskin with the words "Potion Name: Iron-Blooded Knight" written on it in dark red ink.

Sequence: 4;

Main Ingredient: Core of the Lava Giant, Disaster Stone;

"Auxiliary Ingredient: 80 ml of boiling Magma, 20 g of Plant Powder Corruption by the Disaster Stone, 20 g of soil soaked with soldiers' blood from Large Battlefield, and one Oak Tree Fruit;

"Ritual: Assemble a team of at least thirty people, cultivate deep camaraderie among them, help them grow stronger one by one, and develop perfect teamwork, able to understand the leader's intentions through eye contact and gestures, becoming almost one with each other. Then, they will perform the Ritual (the higher the team's strength and level of teamwork, the better the Ritual's effect)."

As Lumian read, looking at the Vocabulary made of dark red ink, he gradually felt a strong burning sensation, and he seemed to smell rust and blood.

Phew... Lumian had just finished reading the "Iron-Blooded Knight" Potion Formula and quickly put it on the table, otherwise he felt like he would be plunged into Hell of Flames and blood.

"It has such a strong mental influence..."

"Is it because the Sequence 4 Potion Formula itself has similar properties, or is it because it was written by an Angel himself, or a combination of both?"

"Scalding Magma... Does this mean drinking Magma directly, or dying if you don't advance?"

Lumian memorized the "Iron-Blooded Knight" Potion Formula in his mind, and would occasionally open the Sheepskin to take a look, making sure there were no Error.

Early morning, 9 Orosei Street, Apartment 702.

Lumian placed the new "Traveler's Bag" and two weapons on the Coffee Table table, and then explained the latter two in detail.

"Only three items?" Franca asked, puzzled.

Lumian laughed, "There's also the ' Hunter ' Pathway Sequence 4 ' Iron-Blooded Knight ' Potion Formula, but that's meaningless to you."

"Who said that? Once you reach Sequence 4, the ' Witch ' can switch to the ' Hunter ' Pathway!" Franca retorted, her Eyes shining.

She practically said that before joining the Witch Sect, my dream was to obtain the "Iron-Blooded Knight's" Potion Formula and turn myself back into Men.

Before Lumian could respond, Franca eagerly pleaded, "Can I take a look?"

You won't lose anything.

That way, once I become the "Witch of Pain," if something unexpected happens and I'm forced to leave the Witch Sect, I can still consider advancing to the "Iron-Blooded Knight"!

"Sure," Lumian replied nonchalantly.

He knew what Franca longed for.

He then took out the brownish Sheepskin from his "Traveler's Bag".

Seeing this, Jenna asked with a mixture of curiosity and anticipation, "Can I take a look too?"

This is Potion Formula that can open the Door of Divinity!

"Uh..." Franca turned her head to look at Jenna, wanting to stop her but unable to find a suitable reason.

Isn't it inappropriate for a Women Witch you to be looking at the Potion Formula for "Iron-Blooded Knight"?

Lumian didn't help Franca persuade Jenna. Instead, he generously unfolded the brown Sheepskin, placed it on the Coffee Table table, and simply reminded her, "Read a bit, then close your eyes and rest for two or three seconds. It has a strong mental effect."

After a while, Franca, Jenna, and Anthony started wiping away sweat as if they had been sitting by a fire all night, but the sweat had long since dried.

"We need a team of at least thirty people... that's a bit difficult." Franca felt troubled for Lumian.

Lumian chuckled:

"The stronger the team members, the better the effect; and if there are team members with Divinity, the number requirement can be significantly reduced."

Franca and Jenna simultaneously thought of the same name and exclaimed in unison, "Ludwig?"

"I'm trying to teach him," Lumian said with Godfather smile.

Franca said nothing more and turned her gaze to the three items: "The Chilling Blade," "Winter Is Coming," and "The Traveler’s Bag."

She laughed generously, "Jenna, Anthony, you two choose first. Just don't leave ' The Traveler’s Bag ' for me, I already have one."

She was worried that she lacked an item with strong attack power or special effects. Both "The Chilling Blade" and "Winter Is Coming" perfectly met her requirements, and she could choose either one. As an "Assassin," her Sleeve Sword was an ordinary weapon, except that it could be imbued with black fire by relying on the "Witch's" ability, while "Cannon-Firing Gun" was equivalent to a small, mobile cannon, with no other special features.

Anthony immediately looked at Jenna, signaling her to choose first.

This wasn't just politeness; he wanted the "Traveler’s Bag," and he also wanted the other two items.

Jenna glanced at the "Hypnotist," who lacked direct offensive capabilities, then at Franca, whose gaze shifted between "The Chilling Blade" and "Winter Is Coming," picked up the dark Coin Pouch, and said with a smile, "I've always wanted a ' Traveler’s Bag and a _book'."

This is not Lie. Many of the Witch's Black Magic require casting materials, and some items, even if carried, can have negative effects. Putting them in the "Traveler’s Bag" can help mitigate these effects, such as the "Dream Thief" Beyonder Characteristic.

Once Jenna had taken the "Traveler’s Bag," Anthony quickly made a decision:

"I want ' Winter Is Coming '."

Without the "Traveler’s Bag," carrying the "Chilling Blade" would be a huge burden.

Franca gazed at the nearly transparent Triangular Dagger, her brows unfurrowing as she smiled.

"Let me see if I can modify it into Sleeve Sword."

These are all rewards that suit us well,"Lady" Judgement, " showing her thoughtfulness... Lumian watched her companions distribute the rewards and nodded thoughtfully.

Several tens of minutes later, he returned to his rented Apartment and saw the "Magician" Lady again.

The holder of the Major Arcana stated bluntly, "Now proceed to the ' Blue Avenger '."
