Ring of Fate

Chapter 752: The Captain and Team Members of the Conjugated Team (Thanks to Zhu Junyu for the Silver Alliance Reward)
After being surprised and stunned, Franka began to think carefully.

This idea doesn't seem to work...

Didn’t I want to be an “Iron Knight” from the beginning?

But the problem is that Janna...

Seeing that Franka remained silent, Lumian smiled meaningfully:

"There's no need to take some things too seriously. We've all used 'lies' and changed into different forms, but haven't we adapted well? I've also been transformed into a dog before, but it didn't leave any psychological trauma. As long as it's not permanent and I can change back, it's actually quite interesting to change my appearance and state occasionally.

"Remember, you're just acting."

Lumian knew that Janna had long known that the "Witch" path would cause a man to become a woman, while the "Hunter" path was the opposite, with one node at Sequence 7 "Witch" and the other at Sequence 4 "Iron Knight".

Likewise, Lumian knew that Franca suspected that Janna already knew these things.

But since this "Witch of Joy" still wanted to continue deceiving him, he didn't mind helping out and making his words more vague.

"It's temporary... As long as the ritual of the 'Undying Witch' is not evil, we can turn it back... The 'Undying Witch' doesn't sound that evil..." Jenna muttered to herself for a few words and said, "I think Lumian's proposal can be considered."

Franca nodded, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.

As she spoke, Janna laughed at herself and said:

"I'm only Sequence 7, just a 'witch'. Why should I consider becoming a demigod and jumping back and forth?

"Fuck, I seem to be back to the time when I first became a 'flamboyant girl'. Although I am saving money to pay off my debts every day, it doesn't stop me from imagining how I will spend my money when I become a famous theater actor and earn thousands or tens of thousands of Felgin every year..."

"Me too, me too." Franca echoed and tried to discuss the feasibility, "If we want to transfer, how do we complete the thirty-man team ceremony of the Iron Knights?"

Lumian said with a "tsk".

"Please pray that I have become an 'Iron Knight' by then.

"Having an 'Iron Knight' as your team member can effectively reduce the number of players required.

"Besides, we already have a tacit understanding in cooperation."

"Is this possible?" Franca first subconsciously felt that there was a problem, and then she said to herself, "The ceremony is just a ceremony. After the ceremony, there is really no need to maintain the previous status quo. In other words, the captain and the team members should be able to swap positions and form a new team. What is this called? This is called recycling and sustainable development!"

The more Franka thought about it, the more excited she became:
"When I become the Iron Knight, Jana will have two demigod teammates. With Anthony and Lugano, she won't need to look for anyone else.

"If, if Ludwig has not escaped the seal by then and is still with us, things will be much simpler. We can be his godmother!"

We are Ludwig's godmother, and Lumian is Ludwig's godfather... Although this is nothing, there are many similar examples, but still... Janna glanced at Franca, wanting to remind her, but finally gave up.

This kind of detail becomes more and more embarrassing the more you talk about it, so ignoring it is the best option.

After coming up with an idea to avoid the "Witch of Despair" ritual, Franka and Janna's mood was obviously much better.

The former said to Lumian:

"There will be an occult gathering in two days. You can contact the Professor and his friends and test whether there are any members of the Moss Ascetic Order among them. There is no need to rush. Madam Judgment told me that the Tarot Club has an informant inside the Moss Ascetic Order who can provide us with the necessary intelligence. But I am not sure whether the informant is from the Trier area and whether he knows the situation here. Griffith, the Man in the Mirror, is obviously in Trier."

Lumian nodded and said:

"We also need to ask Lugano about the recipe and corresponding materials for the 'Harvest Priest' potion. Improving the strength of our teammates will help us complete the ritual later."

Jana listened quietly for a while, then took the initiative to interrupt:
"Can you help me sell the Dream Thief's extraordinary characteristic? The level of the occult gathering I attend is not high enough, and no one can afford something of this sequence."

She was thinking that the ingredients for the "Pleasure Witch" potion would soon be obtained from the "Eternal Sun" Church, and Franka's "Pleasure" would almost be digested. It would not be good to keep owing money to this female companion. Anyway, she could not use the "Dream Thief" extraordinary characteristic.

Lumian could probably guess what Jenna was thinking, and he pointed at his "traveler's bag" with a slight movement.

What he meant was, you have seen my potion recipes for "Iron Knight" and "Desperate Witch", so why didn't you think about owing me a huge sum of money?
Lumian hoped that in this way, Janna would not care too much about the debt. It would be better to lend her some more money and find a "craftsman" to make the "Dream Thief" extraordinary characteristics into a magical item for use.

The stronger your own strength, the stronger your ability to repay the debt!
Janna, who was sitting on the sofa, turned to Franca and made a "huh" expression to Lumian.

What she meant was, when I need to use those two potion formulas to get promoted, I will pay you!
"I'll keep an eye on it for you." Franca was unaware of the silent conversation between Lumian and Janna.

She then said:
"We can start collecting some auxiliary materials for the 'Iron Knight' and the 'Witch of Despair' now, such as the soil soaked with the blood of soldiers on the large battlefield and the blood of the seven plague victims, in case it is too late later. Well, by that time, there may be other ways to bypass the plague ritual, so let's prepare first."

Hearing about the preparation of the potion, Lumian nodded first, then remembered something.

He stood up, walked to the full-length mirror in the room, and placed his right hand on it.

He then activated the contract power from "Bloody Jack" and sensed the mirror mark left behind before.

Soon, with the help of the mirror and the world in the mirror, Lumian discovered that there were two marks in the distance, one clear and one blurry.

The clear one belongs to the full-length mirror in Moran Avni's study, while the blurry one sometimes changes itself and sometimes changes position, making it difficult to grasp.

"I can sense it... This should be the mark on the mirror in the treasure house of the Blue Avenger... With the help of the connection between the mark and myself, no matter how blurry or how it changes, I can directly 'teleport' to it. Of course, the premise is that I can walk into the mirror..." Lumian pondered for a while and did not borrow the "mirror buckle" from Franka for the experiment.

This was because his spiritual intuition and the warning from fate told him that if he was "teleported" to that mark now, he would never be able to come back, or the one who came back would be Alistair Tudor.

Taking his hand back, Lumian told Franka and Janna the result of his attempt.

Afterwards, Janna went out and planned to visit the morgues of various hospitals. This was both to look for an opportunity to play the role of a "witch" and to see if there were any bodies that had died of highly contagious diseases.

——As the "Society of the Final Destruction of All Things" and the "Cult of Disease" had not yet been eradicated in Trier, people who died from the plague must have existed, but not in large numbers and could not spread widely.

Lumian, who was standing in front of the window, saw Janna appear on the street, then he turned his body and said to Franca:
"You may have to become the 'Witch of Despair'. You can think more about how to find a substitute for that ritual."

"Why should I?" Franca looked stunned.

Lumian smiled and said:
"Haven't you noticed that the high-ranking members of the Witch Cult are all 'witches'?

"Is this because they can't get the potion formula and extraordinary properties of the Iron Knight?"

"But the Witch Cult doesn't forbid 'witches' from switching to the 'hunter' path..." Franka frowned.

"This is indeed contradictory." Lumian speculated, "I think that those angel-level 'witches' cannot find the Beyonder characteristics of the higher-order 'Hunter' path to transform back into men, so they are not happy to see their subordinates find themselves again. This has become an unspoken rule. Haha, you know, most of the high-ranking people in the 'witch' path are twisted and mentally ill. They like to see others suffer and cannot bear to see others happy."

——According to the information Lumian and Franka obtained from Ms. Magician and Ms. Judgement, starting from Sequence 4, when Hunters and Witches can jump to each other, the gender is based on the highest sequence. Taking adjacent potions of the same sequence but different pathways to improve strength will be a big problem.

Franka was silent for a while and said:

"If I have digested the 'Pain' potion and have not found a substitute for the Ritual of Despair, I will apply to Madam 'Judgment' to end the mission of the Witch Cult. She should be able to understand me and will not allow me to do something like spreading the horrific plague."

After saying this, Franka suddenly became relaxed and muttered:

"Besides, if Jenna becomes the 'Iron Knight' and I'm still a witch, wouldn't that be weird?"

"Life is short, why not give it a try?" Lumian joked.

Then, before Franca could react, he took a step, jumped over the sofa, opened the door and left.

Several flames of black fire pierced through the wooden door and chased after Lumian's back, but they gradually deviated from the target, failed to hit, and dissipated in mid-air.

Franka's curse was still ringing in Lumian's ears:

"You have the guts to give it a try!"

Lumian walked out onto the street with a smile on his face.

Back at his rented apartment, Lumian's smile faded.

Looking at Ludwig who was having dinner, he pulled out a chair, sat opposite him, and asked casually:

"What ingredients or seasonings are needed to cook the umbilical cord remains in the third way?"

Lugano, who was standing next to him, was stunned for a moment:
"What umbilical cord remains?"

Lumian smiled.

"The remains of the umbilical cord of the child of God carried by Father Monserrate."

Lugano's expression froze instantly.
