"Black Tear"

Seeing the genuine fear in Ludwig's eyes, Lumian looked down at himself and noticed his plain white Robe inlaid with brass threads.

He chuckled and said to his Godson, "Don't be afraid, there are no exams or studies."

Ludwig's eyes lit up, and his expression gradually softened.

Just a moment ago, he thought the Godfather had joined the Church the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom," and he felt like the sky was about to collapse.

Lumian glanced at Lugano, who had hurriedly stood up, took out the Stomach of the former Boss of the "Carnivore" Bar from the "Traveler’s Bag," and tossed it to Ludwig:

"This is a gift for you."

Having completed his journey to Morola, Lumian was no longer bound by the promise and was able to attain Divinity. Therefore, he decided to accelerate the training of his Hunter team, with Ludwig being of paramount importance.

One of the arrangements for Domestication this sealed Angel was to bestow favors upon him.

Ludwig's expression instantly became incredibly complex, as if he had risen from the Abyss to Heaven.

He was so excited that he wanted to bite into the Stomach of the "Depriver" right there and then.

Lumian rubbed his temples and gave a word of advice:

"This is infected with Mysticism Pathogens. You'd better take care of it to prevent the disease from spreading."

"Mysticism Pathogens..." Lugano was startled and instinctively distanced himself from Ludwig.

As a professional "Doctor," he activated his "Spirit Vision," stared intently at the Stomach for two seconds, and indeed discovered traces of disease.

Ludwig bit down on the stomach antrum and mumbled, "Once it's inside, the disease won't spread."

"And what about you?" Lumian asked, amused.

"At most, my stomach will feel uncomfortable for a quarter of an hour or two," Ludwig replied nonchalantly.

"So I'm not going to purify the food in the ' Traveler's Bag '? Anyway, it won't do you any harm if you eat it..." Lumian muttered, turning and heading towards his bedroom.

After taking a couple of bites of food, Ludwig, amidst his busy work, looked up, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Thank you, thank you, Godfather."

Lumian smiled and nodded in satisfaction:

"That's good, you've made great progress in your manners."

Ludwig suddenly shivered.

The Godfather's tone of voice and facial expression now resembled those of the people he feared most.

His Teacher!

Lumian didn't say anything more. He went into his bedroom, spread out some letter paper, wrote down the key points of his trip to Morola, and described in detail the problems he encountered.

Then, he summoned the "Doll" Messenger and handed Past the letter along with the "Traveler’s Bag".

The "Doll" Messenger disdainfully picked up the "Traveler’s Bag" with two fingers, saying in a complaining tone, "Don't stuff everything in there!"

"It's so dirty! So dirty! It's just a garbage can now!"

Lumian chuckled sheepishly, "There's nothing we can do about it."

You can't expect me to carry those Sealed Artifact directly, can you?

Their combined Negative Effect might kill me on the spot.

After seeing off the "Doll" Messenger, Lumian collapsed onto the bed without even tidying up the Desk that had turned into Altar, closed her eyes, and let her body relax.

In Morola, he not only had to stay up all night reading, but he also couldn't sleep peacefully. After all, a crazy "Witch" lived next door, and other enemies could attack him at any time, which kept him on edge and constantly vigilant.

Now, he has finally regained the sense of security he had been missing for so long.

Lumian fell asleep quickly and slept soundly until he woke up at Six in the Morning of a new day.

"Phew, that feels so good." Lumian sat up, stretched, and saw his "Traveler's Bag" and a reply letter on his Desk.

"The Messenger came, but I didn't wake up... which means I still trust her quite a bit..." Lumian muttered to herself, walked to her Desk, and drew back the curtains.

Bathed in the Dawn light, he sat down and began to read the "Magician" Lady's reply:

"For now, leaving your Brand as an agent is enough. We can do other things later. In short, in the matter of '0-01,' you have at least taken the lead over the Witch Sect and the ' Red Angel.'"

"But nothing is ever without its downsides. This marks your official entry into the arena to compete for the position of ' Red Priest.' You will be under more scrutiny and face more dangers. In the past, the Witch Sect might have considered you as a potential partner, and the Red Angel might have considered using you. Now, eliminating you as soon as possible to free up the position of '0-01' proxy will be a viable option for them."

"You should also remind ' Two of Cups ' of this, lest she be inadvertently used by the Witch Sect."

"Of course, since the Witch Sect and the ' Red Angel ' also gained something, each leaving a little blood on '0-01,' their urgency to target you immediately isn't that high."

Regarding the "Abscessed Severed Hand," because the Fourth Epoch, Tertiary, and Second Epoch all experienced far-reaching Calamity, many Folk Legend have not been preserved. Furthermore, the "Abscessed Severed Hand" is suspected to Corruption by a High Sequence from That One "Great Mother," making direct Divination impossible. We must resort to indirect methods, which makes it difficult to obtain the most effective information. Therefore, we have not figured out when the earliest related legend appeared, but we can confirm that it existed in the early Fifth Epoch.

"Based on your description of the appearance and condition, we reasonably suspect that ' Abscessed Severed Hand ' was Vampire of the Angel level in life. However, according to information from within the Sanguine, ' Duke of the Full Moon ' Aulmer, one of the three great Duke of the Sanguine and an ancient powerhouse born in the Second Epoch, has no such clan members in his memory."

"You should know that Sequence 2 Angel is equivalent to a Sanguine Duke. Even in the long history of Sanguine, the number of Duke that have appeared is quite limited, so there is no possibility that they do not know or remember each other."

"New Silver City is currently searching through historical records related to Ombella for any possible clues. I will let you know once we have found anything."

"Severed-Hand Brother isn't Sanguine, huh? No wonder the ' Magician ' Lady called him Vampire. Hmm, those High-Ranking Being of the ' Moon ' Pathway aren't necessarily Sanguine, just like those ' Primordial Moon ' followers of the Rose School ' are never recognized as Sanguine; they're always called artificial Vampire..." Lumian leaned back in his chair and continued reading:

"You can try asking around about the ' Aurora Order.' The Concealment they believe in That One among the best, even among True God."

"According to my Divination, Albus Medici is not dead. His Ancestors, That One ' Red Angel,' entered Trier in the Fourth Epoch Trier through the Hostel Plan and may have developed some kind of understanding with one or more people in the Special Mirror World. This has greatly reduced the danger for Albus in escaping Morola through the Special Mirror World."

"No need to regret it, this is a good thing. At least we now know that the ' Red Angel ' and the powerful beings in the Special Mirror World may cooperate on certain matters."

"That level 1 Sealed Artifact is called ' Black Tear,' which was formed from the tears shed by a certain ' Witch of Despair ' after her death, and it incorporates her Beyonder Characteristic."

"' Black Tear ' will continuously produce the same Mysticism Pathogens that you were infected with, allowing them to spread in all directions without stopping."

Wearing "Black Tear" will significantly enhance your Charm and make you more Women-ization, but it will not change your gender.

"' Black Tear ' can help you master some Mirror Magic, including transmitting information through the Mirror World, Mirror Traversal, and mirror illusions."

"It can also make your ' Harvest ' more lethal, allowing you to pour all your power into a single ' Harvest '."

"In places with Special Mirror World, ' Black Tear ' can also allow you to make initial use of the corresponding special abilities and powers."

The above describes the effects; the negative effects are:

"The wearer will also be infected by that Mysticism Pathogens; the ' Witch of Pain ' is less affected and has stronger resistance."

"The wearer will experience ' Pleasure ' intermittently, once every 45 to 90 seconds;"

Even just carrying it around will make you more emotional and more easily moved and persuaded;

"Possessing ' Black Tear ' also carries the possibility of encountering unwanted Love, based on the Curse of That One ' Witch of Despair ' before her death."

Upon seeing this, Lumian couldn't help but raise an eyebrow:

This Sealed Artifact seems more likely to appear in banned books like "The Monk Who Chased Dogs".

Having to perform "Pleasure" every 45 to 90 seconds is a huge problem in combat!

Franca couldn't use it either, unless it was a quick victory, but the infection from the Mysticism "disease" took time. Hmm, for now, it could only be treated as an unlimited-use "Mirror Buckle," used once and then immediately sealed away... Lumian pondered for a while, looking at the sealing method provided by the "Magician" Lady:

"The most universal solution is to find a ' Sun ' Pathway Sealed Artifact that can continuously purify the surrounding area, and place it together with ' Black Tear '. As for how to reduce the negative effects of that ' Sun ' Pathway Sealed Artifact, that's another matter."

"The simplest but most demanding solution is to place the ' Black Tear ' inside a Mirror, so that its Mysticism Pathogens only affect the Mirror-Behind Region. Don't worry, the Mysticism Pathogens can't Mirror Traversal, and the 'disease' can't spread. The problem is that if you don't have any other items that can utilize the Mirror World, you can't take it out once it's inside. And if the Mirror sealing the ' Black Tear ' breaks, it will be completely lost in the Mirror World, wandering aimlessly."

"The most customized solution is that I will help you isolate a space in the ' Traveler’s Bag ' that is not connected to other areas. You can periodically throw a ball of Flames that can Burning for more than half an hour in it to burn the Mysticism Pathogens."

"The other items in your ' Traveler's Bag ' have been purified, so you don't need to worry about infection."

Lumian breathed a long sigh of relief after reading the reply.

This is one of the perks of the "Tarot Club"!

After burning the letter, he examined the "Traveler’s Bag" and confirmed that the "Witch of Pain" property extracted from Sallys was a beautiful eye. It, along with the body parts, had been placed in Independent Space storing the "Black Tear." If he wanted to use it later, it would need to be purified or "sterilized" beforehand.

After hanging up his "Traveler’s Bag," Lumian walked to the Full-Length Mirror in the room.
