After agreeing to use Lady. Hella's Messenger to inform them of the time, place, code, and method of the real-world gathering, Lumian listened quietly to the members of the "Academy" group exchanging ideas, occasionally joining in the discussion.

With his current knowledge of Mysticism, he no longer needs to deliberately conceal his ignorance.

After a while, Lumian asked if there was Potion Formula for the "Harvest Sacrifice Priest" potion and the necessary materials, but received a negative answer.

He then walked toward another group near the Ancient Palace gate.

It was called a "Farm," organized by a group of Society members who loved planting and accumulating knowledge. Lumian sat in on one of their meetings and discovered that their daily conversations consisted of things like, "I bought so many more Are land," "I'm planning to save up to build a Ranch," "My Forest Farm had a bumper harvest," "The Compost is working well," "The ' Earth Mother ' Church has a batch of Improved Wheat Seeds that are perfect for water-scarce areas," "My savings have increased again," and "Labor makes me happy"...

After that, Lumian never attended another class.

As soon as Lumian approached the members of the "Farm," he could smell the scent of someone who had long been dealing with soil, fertilizer, Grass, Grain, and livestock.

This gave him an indescribable sense of familiarity and relaxation, as if he had returned to Cordou Village and to his Older Sister's side.

Lumian experience was already considerable, immediately became wary.

"This... reminds me of life in Cordou Village, and on the other hand, the connection between farming, herding, and harvesting resonates with the Ombella bloodline within me, making me feel close? No wonder she was once the ' Harvest Goddess,' no wonder she is the Divine Child of the ' Great Mother '..." Lumian quickly understood the reason.

He discovered that although consuming Ombella's Umbilical Cord Remains did not bring any changes to his strength or abilities, it did have some effect, aside from attracting the attention of the "Great Mother" and allowing beings directly created by the "Great Mother" or who had received Her Gift to sense the corresponding bloodline.

Ombella's bloodline altered his perception of certain things to some extent, indirectly affecting his spirit.

As Lumian listened to the discussion among the members of the "Farm" group, he carefully observed each of them.

Although only certain beings lacking the necessary intelligence would regard him as the Divine Child of the "Great Mother," anyone who has received the "Great Mother's " Gift or was directly created by the "Great Mother" can sense the Ombella bloodline in him, but will not mistake his identity.

This would help Lumian determine, through the possible unusual reactions of the members of the "Farm" group, whether they had secretly come to believe in the "Great Mother."

After a few minutes, Lumian made a preliminary assessment that none of the members of the "Curly-Haired Baboon Research Society" in the area were in any danger.

He then Imitation Aurora's hushed tone, looked around, and asked, "Does anyone have the Potion Formula or ingredients for the ' Harvest Sacrifice Priest ' potion?"

"If you don't want to reveal the recipe, you can just sell me the prepared ' Harvest Sacrifice Priest ' Potion."

"' Muggle,' I remember you're a ' Warlock,'" a member of the "Farm" group called "Master Breeder" asked in confusion.

He was quite tall and had a rugged, wild air about him. He wore a mask made of animal fur, giving him a Primitive Tribe feel.

"I Have a Friend needs it," Lumian chuckled, "And I'd like to make a little extra while offering help."

The "Master Breeder" further inquired, "You should know very well that the prepared Potion must be drunk within a short time, otherwise it will be absorbed by the container and become Sealed Artifact with very strong Negative Effect. Moreover, the transaction should also be conducted through Lady Hella's Messenger, right? That in itself will take some time, so you must make sure to drink it as soon as you receive it."

"Is everything alright?"

"Hella 'Lady Messenger are really busy..." Lumian thought to himself, "No."

After questioning and observation, he became certain that Lugano's "Doctor" Potion had been completely digested.

This is a "Doctor" who has treated Angel and false Angel!

--After Ludwig was beaten to a bloody pulp by "Loki," it was Lugano who treated and healed his wounds, Lumian himself also received treatment from Lugano on several occasions.

The "Master Breeder" thought for a moment and said, "20,000 Gold Riso, and a prepared ' Harvest Sacrifice Priest ' Potion."

"This is more expensive than buying the materials for the ' Harvest Sacrifice Priest ' Potion separately, but we still have to respect intellectual property rights. Normally, I should sell it for 30,000 to 35,000 Gold Riso, but what can we do when we're all members of the Society?"

"About 40,000 Felkine, not bad..." Lumian nodded slightly and said, "No problem."

He already had 19,000 Gold Riso Banknotes and Gold Coin on him, and he prepaid 10,000, agreeing to pay the balance after receiving the Potion.

For this reason, they sought the help of "007" from the "Temple" group as a notary.

"Happy transaction." The "Master Breeder," having received the deposit, smiled at the "Muggle."

He then turned to the other members of the "Farm" group and said, "We have money to do experiments again!"

"I've recently been studying the Mushrooms created by the Legendary Druid Frank Lee, and I find his ideas very interesting and worth following."

"Since this world has so many extraordinary beings, including those of Beyonder, why can't we fuse the blood, flesh, and milk of extraordinary beings with ordinary plants? Whether it's hybridization or Genetic Modification, with the aid of Mysticism power, it can be achieved relatively easily. Then, after multiple generations of propagation, the traits can be stabilized, and we would have plants that don't possess Beyonder Characteristic but have certain magical effects..."

As Lumian listened, a strange unease suddenly arose within him.

He didn't feel this way when he was discussing death-related issues in the "Purgatory" group!

He first heard the name Frank Lee in the Cordou Village in his dream. The Official Beyonder, Ryan, said that there was a saying circulating at sea, "I'd rather encounter Pirate Admiral or even King than meet a man named Frank Lee."

Later, Lumian went to sea but heard no rumors about Frank Lee. He didn't know if Ryan had exaggerated in his dream or if those who knew about Frank Lee's deeds were afraid or unwilling to mention it again.

The "Temple" group.

Franca turned her gaze to the member nicknamed "Someone" and asked with a smile, "Weren't you looking for the Beyonder Characteristic of ' Dream Thief ' Sequence 5 the ' Thief ' Pathway? Do you still need it? A friend of mine just got one."

"If you don't want it, I'll go find a ' Artisan ' and use that Beyonder Characteristic to create a Mystical Item."

Someone wearing a black half-face mask with an eye patch looked Franca up and down a few times.

"The friend you're talking about doesn't seem to be yourself."

"I don't need it anymore, but I don't mind getting another copy."

"Fixed price, £5000."

That's about 120,000 Felkine... Franca chuckled, "200,000 Felkine, not a penny less."

"Someone" did the math and said, "At most 150,000 Felkine, if that's not enough, forget it."

Franca thought for a few seconds and said, "You can pay in two installments. The first is 120,000 Felkine now, and the second is 60,000 within three months after you obtain the Beyonder Characteristic. The contract will be binding through '007's' notarization."

"Someone" pondered for a moment, then smiled and asked in return, "Aren't you worried that I'll renege on my promise after obtaining the Beyonder Characteristic?"

"The ' Notary's' 'notarization' isn't insurmountable; remember, I used to be a notorious ' Swindler.'"

Franca smiled:

"Between you and the ' Wandering Poet,' who is more skilled?"

"Someone" fell silent.

"The ' Wandering Poet ' has already been dealt with by me and my companions. Unless you're willing to give up such a useful trading platform for 60,000 Felkine, I have no reason to worry about you defaulting on your debt. Your Beyonder Characteristic are also quite valuable." Franca, a former Gang, spoke these threatening words as if she were discussing what dinner was coming up.

"It won't be long before I'm even better than him." After a few seconds, "Someone" simply replied, "Deal!"

"No rush," Franca smiled. "The final payment must be in gold."

For the next few days, Lumian had nothing much to do but wander around Trier, tracking down several "Person in the Mirror" based on intelligence provided by "007" and searching for Harrison's whereabouts.

He was supposed to go to Mr. K to collect his reward, but he felt a certain resistance and kept putting it off.

Franca then made a deal with "Someone" in the "Temple" group, receiving a down payment of £5,000 consisting of Banknotes and Gold Coin.

At the same time, she also gave Jenna 15,000 Felkine Banknotes, stipulating that the remaining payment from "Someone," namely the gold worth 60,000 Felkine, would all belong to her.

Jenna lost her "Dream Thief" Beyonder Characteristic, but she also repaid the 45,000 Felkine she owed Franca, and now has a total of 16,000 Felkine Loen Pound worth 120,000 Felkine.

She had never been so wealthy.

She had always known that Potion Formula and Beyonder Characteristic were valuable, and even knew their approximate price range, but she had never paid the full amount upfront for them, nor had she ever actually sold them. Now she was experiencing firsthand what it felt like for "Pirate Hunter" Gehrman Sparrow to make money.

That evening, Lumian had just returned to her rented Apartment and was about to change her clothes Courage to go find Mr. K when she saw the light from the wall lamp in the room instantly turn a somber green and Paleness.

They were mixed together, creating a bizarre scene.

Then, Lumian saw his Messenger, a mummified "Penitent" dressed in Black Clerical Robe, emerge from the void.

Almost simultaneously, Hella's Messenger, a skull made of pure silver, appeared amidst a blanket of darkness.

Immediately afterwards, the figure of the "Doll" Messenger was quickly outlined.

Lumian was somewhat stunned:

Will the Messenger start fighting?

I have three letters?

One is likely the "Harvest Sacrifice Priest" Potion, another is probably Sealed Artifact made from "Hisoka's " Beyonder Characteristic, and what about the third one?
