Chapter 443 Illusory sigh
The Hanged Man agreed to Lumian's request and told him to contact him through the Magician.
After saying words of gratitude, Lumian and Franka left the captain's cabin and returned to the deck, stepping on the creaking planks and in the dim light of the torches, along the aisle that only allowed three people to walk in parallel.
They noticed that the ghost ship called the Blue Avenger was not alone in the stormbringer Alger, but at the stern end, outside the cabin, inside the mast lookout, and a handful of a dozen sailors who were hiding on the edge of the darkness and did not try to get close.
In the next second, Lumian and Franka saw a bright star hanging in front of them at the same time, dyed a little strange blue, as if they had just come out of the spirit world.
The star grew bigger and bigger, as if it had fallen to the ground in an instant, and its light spread out, engulfing everything around it.
Lumian and Franka just blinked their eyes and were caught up in the starlight, and by the time their vision recovered, they had returned to room 207 of the Golden Rooster Hotel.
"It's too gorgeous!" Franka praised from the bottom of her heart, looking yearning.
She hated that her only choice was to change paths, and she couldn't experience the chic of the "apprentices", so she could only consider getting a seal with similar abilities in the future.
Lumian did not agree with Franka, standing there thoughtfully.
Franka glanced at him and thought for a while:
"Do you think this is a bit strange?
"Raising 10 thousand Felkin gold should be a very simple matter for a treasure hunter whose strength is equivalent to that of the Pirate King, and those three questions don't need to be thought about for too long, but it took so many days for Mr. 'The Hanged Man' to ask you to summon the 'Armor Shadow', and it was only when he had already arrived in Trier.
"In addition, with the ability shown by Ms. 'Magician', it is completely possible to easily send us to the sea, to the interior of the 'Blue Avenger', and then pick us up, why do we have to wait for Mr. 'Hanged' to come to Trier?"
Lumian laughed and praised Franka:
"This time I am very sharp, it seems that the brain still needs to be used, and it will always seem that the IQ is insufficient."
"Zhen, are you praising me or scolding me?" Franka "bah" and frowned slightly, "Either Mr. 'Hanged Man' was in a special environment some time ago and it was difficult to locate accurately, or he had other purposes in Trier......"
Speaking of this, Lumian and Franka simultaneously remembered the impending disaster, smelling the oppression and horror of the storm pressing over the city and approaching.
"The Tarot Society is sending more Major Arcana cards to Trier? In order to protect as many citizens as possible if the disaster is not successfully prevented?" Franka made a guess.
Lumian nodded lightly and did not refute.
After a moment of silence, Franka changed the subject and shouted with momentum:
"I want to become a demigod, I want to accumulate gold!"
Seeing Lumian raise his eyebrows and inquire with his eyes, Franka said full of yearning and longing:
"This way, I can directly ask you to summon the 'Armor Shadow' and ask me the questions I want to ask, without asking the Major Arcana cards to protect me!"
"Work hard, Miss Joy." Lumian quipped.
…………
The next day, near noon.
Lumian, who returned from Spring Street, led Jane into the underground and arrived at the third floor of the catacombs, where the small square with two sacrificial pillars stood.
"Why did you bring me here?" Jian Na looked puzzled.
If she hadn't known Lumian very well and knew what kind of person this guy was, she would have wondered if her friend had suddenly become evil.
Lumian, who was wearing a black satchel on his back, stood upright, put his hands in his pockets, and said with a smile:
"Give you the safest promotion environment."
Combining Franka's words and the words of the "magician" lady, Lumian knew the sequence of the "assassin" path 0, and the true god worshiped by the witch cult should be a woman turned into a man, and his heart was very distorted.
It is said that this "primordial witch" was immersed in pain and wanted to replicate her experiences from generation to generation, so he hated normal women becoming "witches", and the witch sect was also hunting female "assassins", female "instigators" and real "witches".
After all, even the "Hidden Sage", who occupies the position of Sequence 0, can indiscriminately affect every extraordinary person who takes the path of the "Secret Man", whispering to them from time to time, instilling knowledge when they take the magic potion to advance.
Although this effect should not be too strong in the case of a lower sequence - Aurore can be promoted to sequence 7 and become a "wizard" under the whispers and indoctrination of the "Hidden Sage" all the way, but it is better to be careful than careless.
You must know that "witch" is the first qualitative change node of the "assassin" path, and even the beginning of the core meaning of "witch".
Of course, Ms. "Magician" occasionally mentioned that the evil god was not in very good shape.
"The safest?" Jian Na looked around, not too convinced.
The surroundings are dark and full of corpses, how can it be called safe?
Only around the two mottled stone pillars did it look warmer and calmer.
Lumian briefly introduced the special features of this sacrificial square, and finally said:
"At the top of the 'Assassin' path is an evil god, no one knows if he will suddenly go crazy, and the gods of the same path have the ability to exert a certain influence on the extraordinary when they take magic potions to advance.
"This can greatly weaken that connection."
After listening intently, Jian Na walked towards the mottled stone pillar engraved with the "Sun Emblem", opened her arms slightly, and began to pray.
Seeing that she didn't ask Franka why she wasn't affected in the first place, and didn't mention this matter when communicating precautions before, Lumian raised his right hand, touched his chin, and secretly "tsk".
"Praise the sun!" At the end of the prayer, Jane sang the "Eternal Sun" with great reverence.
Lumian remained silent and handed Jane the materials such as the Witch's extraordinary trait and the scales of the Shadow Lizard inside the black satchel.
He used the 10,000 Felkin given by the other party to get Gardner. Martin got these things in exchange for them.
Jian Na glanced at the blue vertical eye-like "gem" and the silky lines on its appearance, knelt down on one knee, and prepared the magic potion on the unusually clean square floor.
Not long after, a potion with a dark red color and a shadow appeared in Jana's hand.
Jian Na calmed down, only to feel that in the past few months, she seemed to be pushed forward by various things, and she couldn't stop now.
This may be my destiny...... Praise the sun! Jian Na closed her eyes, and then secretly added in her heart:
Praise the fool!
At this critical moment, in order to be promoted smoothly and to survive, the balance of faith in her heart involuntarily tilted a little.
This is because Franca and Lumian are relatively relaxed when it comes to taking potions and raising their sequences, at least it seems so, and they both believe in Mr. "The Fool".
Without hesitation, Jian Na held a kind of assassination of Yuge. Artois, who was already dead, drank the magic potion.
The magic potion was cold and illusory, like melting white frost, and Jian Na soon felt itchy and painful all over her body.
Her thoughts gradually blurred, as if she was slowly sinking into water.
Suddenly, severe pain erupted from her body, and Jane Na woke up a lot, finding that she was surrounded by black, quiet flames, devouring her little by little.
Above her, there was a layer of transparent ice condensed by white frost, which was like a mirror, blocking Jane's efforts to climb out of the black flames.
In the next second, Jian Na saw more faces and figures on the ice.
That face looks exactly like her!
The figure was another Jianna, but her dominant hand became her left hand!
"Jenna" on the ice looked at the figure in the black flames viciously, with a look of anticipation and desire.
Jian Na was also a person with combat experience, and while she was surprised and frightened, she immediately gathered all her strength together and swung her fist upwards.
The ice shattered silently, and the "vicious" Jane also fell into the black flames.
At this time, there was a faint black python-like thing swaying gently in the distance, and it had a dark blue vertical eye on its front.
The strange "python" flashed away, did not enter this area, but threw in a dark shadow.
Almost at the same time, a long, painful sigh was heard in Jane's ears.
This illusory sigh was very close to her, like coming from the surroundings of the sacrificial square, from the corpses next to it.
The black shadow projected by the strange "python" grew wildly, getting bigger and bigger, but also getting lighter and lighter.
It covered Jane Na and the vicious figure at once, and continued to penetrate into their bodies.
Janna did not give up, endured the pain and trance, and tried her best to climb out of the Black Flame Hell and came to the nearby ice layer.
Such a scene was instantly shattered, and Jana's vision returned to normal and saw a mottled stone pillar engraved with the "Sun Emblem".
Her expression has been distorted, but the pain in her body is easing little by little.
Seeing that the black flames on Jenna's body were rapidly contracting and dissipating, and the surrounding frost was melting rapidly, Lumian understood that this companion had successfully been promoted to Sequence 7 and was a "witch".
Only then did he set his sights on the edge of the sacrificial square, towards the mausoleum and corpses shrouded in darkness.
It didn't take long for Jane to take the potion that he sensed something was wrong, but in the end nothing entered the clean square where the two pillars of sacrifice were located.
Finally, Jane Na was no longer abnormal, she got up and saw Lumian looking into the distance, so she said suspiciously:
"After I drank the magic potion, I seemed to hear a sigh over there."
Lumian nodded slowly and said:
"On this floor of the catacombs, there is a 'Crismona Night Pillar', which represents a 'Disaster Witch' who once fell here."
