Ring of Fate

Chapter 745 Reward
The dark coin bag was indeed a "traveler's bag" and contained three items:

The same brownish parchment, the same transparent to the point of being almost invisible triangular spikes, and the same black revolver with complex parts and a very mechanical aesthetic.

Lumian didn't rush to take out the reward, but instead spread out the folded letter paper:
"Prize Description:
"'Iron Knight' potion recipe: See for yourself.

"'Traveler's Baggage': I don't need to introduce it to you, do I?

"'Grim Blade': A magical item made from the dust and residual spirituality of an ancient vengeful spirit.

“Any creature that is stabbed by it, even if there is no wound, will fall into a state of frozen stiffness and uncontrolled thoughts, as if it is possessed by a ‘ghost’.

“At the same time, as the battle continues, the target of the Cold Blade will gradually begin to slow down its thoughts and become stiff and clumsy in its movements, even if it does not come into direct contact with it.

"The negative effect is that the carrier's body will lose temperature little by little and turn into a dead spirit. 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 a Sequence 5 Hunter, a Scorching Reaper, you can at least hold out for four hours even if you don't use other methods to combat the negative effects."

Seeing this, Lumian immediately thought of the golden mask of the Eggers family.

That mask can also transform the wearer into a undead, and provide protection for the spirit and consciousness, allowing them to remain alive. When the wearer takes off the mask, he will be able to return to his original state very easily.

"If I put on the golden mask made by the 'God of Death', can I use the 'Cold Blade' without any impact? I am already an undead creature, so naturally there will be no negative effect of gradually turning into a undead... No, if I wear that golden mask for too long, my body will really die. Once I take off the mask, I will die on the spot..." Lumian didn't find any loopholes that could be exploited, and he exhaled in disappointment.

He continued reading the last part of the letter:

"'Winter is Coming': This revolver was found at a secret but failed sacrifice site when we were tracking down the 'End of All Things Society'. It was supposed to be a firearm artwork with collectible value, but it was contaminated in some way during the sacrifice and turned into an extraordinary weapon with a limited number of uses.

“The bullets it fires can carry those contaminants, which will have two effects:

"First, it will definitely hit. Even saints will be hit if they don't use special abilities to avoid it. For extraordinary people below demigod level, unless they replace their original body with a substitute before shooting, or the shooter is in an illusion and can't aim at all, they will definitely be hit. In simple terms, if they aim at the original body at the moment of shooting, the original body will be hit, and the substitute will be ineffective.

“Second, death is inevitable. Even saints, if they don’t have the corresponding traits and abilities, will suffer huge trauma once they are hit, and will gradually die. For extraordinary beings below demigod level, unless they have a stand-like ability, being hit is equivalent to death.

“You can’t have these two effects at the same time, you can only choose one at a time.

"Currently, the number of times these two effects can be applied is four. Once used up, 'Winter is Coming' will turn back into an ordinary, rusty and damaged revolver. Before it is used up, normal shooting of 'Winter is Coming' will infect the wound and spread diseases at the same time. There is no pattern to what diseases are caused.

"Every time you use 'Winter is Coming', you must find a 'pharmacist' or 'doctor' to provide corresponding treatment within the next week, even if you don't show any symptoms.

"If you don't seek medical treatment in time, you will inevitably suffer from a terminal illness. It is a terminal illness with mystical factors that cannot be cured by medium or low-sequence 'pharmacists' and 'doctors'."

This is a weapon that can harm demigods... After the attack by the "Man in the Painting" of "Supervisor" Perle, are the "Magicians" and the others consciously giving us some items that can affect demigods but have a negative impact that we can barely bear? "Doctor"... Lumian half-turned his body and cast his eyes outside 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 the brownish parchment with dark red ink writing on it:
“Potion name: Iron Knight;

“Sequence: 4;

“Main materials: the core of the magma giant, the stone of disaster;
“Supplementary materials: 80 ml of boiling magma, 20 grams of grass powder contaminated by the Disaster Stone, 20 grams of soil soaked in the blood of soldiers on a large battlefield, and one oak fruit;
"Ritual: Form a team of at least thirty people, cultivate a deep comradeship with them, let them gradually become stronger, and cooperate tacitly, and be able to understand the leader's intentions through eye contact and movements, and become almost one with each other, and then have them form a ritual (the higher the team's strength and tacit understanding, the better the effect of the ritual)."

As he read, Lumian looked at the words written in dark red ink and gradually felt a strong burning sensation. He also seemed to smell the smell of rust and blood.

Huh... Lumian put the potion formula of "Iron Knight" on the table as soon as he finished reading it, otherwise he felt that he would fall into a hell of fire and blood.

“It can actually have such a strong spiritual impact…

"Is it because the Sequence 4 potion formula itself has similar characteristics, or is it because it was written by an angel himself, or is it a combination of both reasons?"

"Boiling magma... Does this mean you can drink the magma directly? Will you die if you can't advance?"

Lumian memorized the potion formula of "Iron Knight" in his mind, and opened the parchment from time to time to take a look, making sure there were no mistakes.

…………

In the morning, at 9 Orosei Street, Apartment 702.

Lumian placed the new "Traveler's Bag" and two weapons on the coffee table and introduced the latter two in detail.

"Only three items?" Franca looked confused.

Lumian smiled and said:
"There is also a potion formula for the Hunter Path Sequence 4 'Iron Knight', but it is meaningless to you."

“Who said that? At Sequence 4, the ‘Witch’ can switch to the ‘Hunter’ path!” Franka retorted with shining eyes.

She almost said that before joining the Witch Sect, my dream was to obtain the potion formula of the "Iron Knight" and turn myself back into a man.

Without waiting for Lumian's response, Franca pleaded eagerly:
“Can you show me a little?

"You have nothing to lose."

This way, when I become the "Witch of Pain", if something unexpected happens and I am forced to leave the Witch Sect, I can still consider being promoted to the "Iron-Blooded Knight"!
"Sure." Lumian replied without caring at all.

He knew what Franka wanted in her heart.

He then took out the brown parchment from his "traveler's bag".

Seeing this, Janna asked with some curiosity and expectation:

"Can I take a look, too?"

This is the magic potion formula that can open the door to divinity!

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

It's not a good idea for a female witch like you to read the potion formula of "Iron Knight", right?

Lumian did not help Franca persuade Janna. He unrolled the brown parchment and placed it on the coffee table, and simply reminded her:

"Watch a clip, close your eyes and rest for two or three seconds. This has a strong mental impact."

After a while, Franca, Janna and Anthony wiped their sweat as if they had been sitting by a fire all night, but the sweat had already dried up.

"We need a team of at least thirty people... This is a bit difficult." Franca felt for Lumian.

Lumian laughed:
"The stronger the team members are, the better the effect will be. If there are team members with divine qualities, the number requirement can be significantly reduced."

Franca and Janna thought of a name at the same time and said in unison:

"Ludwig?"

“I’m trying to teach him.” Lumian smiled like a godfather.

Franka said nothing more and turned her attention to the three items: "Cold Blade", "Winter is Coming" and "Traveler's Bag".

She smiled generously and said:

"Janna, Anthony, you guys pick first, just don't leave the 'Traveler's Bag' to me, I already have it."

She was worried that she lacked an item with strong attack power or special effects. Both the "Cold Blade" and the "Winter is Coming" perfectly met her requirements and she could choose either one - as an "assassin", her hidden blade was an ordinary weapon, but it could be equipped with black fire thanks to the ability of the "witch", and the "bombardment gun" was equivalent to a small movable artillery, nothing special about it.

Anthony immediately looked at Janna and motioned for her to choose first.

This was not a polite gesture. He wanted the "traveler's bag" and the other two items as well.

Janna looked at the Hypnotist who lacked direct attack capabilities, then looked at Franka whose eyes moved back and forth between Cold Blade and Winter Is Coming, picked up the dark coin bag, and said with a smile:

"I've always wanted a 'traveler's bag'."

This is not a lie. Many of the witches' black magic require materials for casting. Moreover, some items will have negative effects even if they are just carried. Putting them in the "Traveler's Bag" can barely avoid them, such as the "Dream Thief" extraordinary characteristic.

When Janna took away the "traveler's bag", Anthony made a quick decision:

"I want 'Winter is Coming'."

Without the "Traveler's Bag", carrying the "Grim Blade" would be a huge burden.

Franka looked at the nearly transparent three-edged thorn and smiled with a relaxed look:

"I'll see if I can transform it into a hidden blade."

These are all rewards suitable for us. Ms. Judgment and the others are very thoughtful... Lumian watched his companions distribute the rewards and nodded thoughtfully.

A few dozen minutes later, he returned to his rented apartment and saw the "magician" lady again.

The holder of the Major Arcana puts it bluntly:

"Now to the Blue Avenger."
