Ring of Fate

Chapter 760 "Harvest Priest" (Please ask for double monthly tickets on the second to last day)
The moment she saw the "Confessor" Bayinfer and the pure silver skull, the "doll" messenger in a light gold skirt floated to Lumian's side, as if confronting the two messengers.

The silver skull head, surrounded by darkness, placed a sack on the desk and stared at Lumian with eyes burning with pale flames.

The "Confessor" Bayinfer dropped a folded letter, returned silently to the spirit world, and disappeared in the room.

Lumian wanted to take this opportunity to talk to his messenger about his past and ask him about his relationship with the "True Creator", but given the current situation, he could only suppress his thoughts temporarily and shift his attention to the pure silver skull.

Lumian picked up the sack that looked like a book and took out an aluminum wine flask.

Behind him, the "doll" messenger floated over and looked around curiously.

Lumian unscrewed the lid of the gray wine jug and saw a golden liquid with a lot of white foam inside.

If it weren't for the lack of malt aroma, he would definitely think it was actually a pot of beer.

He took out a piece of paper from the sack. On it was Hela's handwriting in the ancient language of Feysac:

"It is indeed the Harvest Priest's potion.

"You need to drink it within a quarter of an hour, otherwise you will be rewarded with a wine jug that will bring you a good harvest."

Seeing that Ms. "Hela" helped with the appraisal and there was a notarized contract, Lumian immediately took out the remaining 9000 gold rizos and the 1000 gold rizo banknotes he had just exchanged in the past two days from his "traveler's bag".

"This is the balance." Lumian put the gold rissol into the sack and handed it to the skull that looked like it was made of pure silver.

The silver skull bit the sack, merged with the surrounding darkness, and disappeared in an instant.

Lumian then turned his head and said to the "Doll" Messenger with a smile:

"What's your evaluation?"

The "Doll" Messenger snorted:
“I will surpass them sooner or later!

"I will definitely become the best messenger in the world, no, the second best messenger in the world!"

“You’re quite ambitious,” Lumian replied half sincerely and half jokingly.

He was not at all surprised by the answer from the "doll" messenger. He had long known about the specialness of "Confessor" Bayinfer and the pure silver skull.

The "Doll" messenger then threw a dark object that looked like a crystal ball but was more illusory at Lumian. Lumian caught it easily and discovered that a dark and moist bone ring was suspended in the curved transparent barrier. The face of the ring was carved with a twisted and painful demon's face, and there were two blurry shadows in the demon's eyes.

After letting the folded letter paper fall onto the desk surface by itself, the "doll" messenger also left Lumian's room.

It was indeed a seal made of "Hisoka's" extraordinary characteristics... Lumian didn't bother to confirm the effect and influence of the seal right now. He put away the dark transparent sphere and the folded letter paper, and opened the letter brought by his messenger first.

The letter consisted of only a few short sentences:
"'Seven of Wands':
"Do you still remember your promise? We need your help now.

"If you don't have anything else important to do recently, please meet us at the following coordinates. I will tell you the details then.

"...

"'Knight of Swords.'

The Sword Knight needs help... Lumian suddenly realized.

During the Sea Prayer Ceremony, he asked this Minor Arcana card belonging to the "Hermit" lady for help. At that time, the other party did not ask for any reward, but just said that he might go to the South Continent later and might need some help, and he agreed on the spot.

“It just so happens that I’m free recently.” Lumian put away the letter from the “Sword Knight”, screwed the lid of the gray wine jug on, and walked out of the room carrying it.

Lugano was clearing away the plates and forks left over from Ludwig's meal.

"Your 'Harvest Priest' potion has arrived." Lumian said calmly.

Lugano was stunned for a moment, his face blank.

After a few seconds, he pointed at the gray wine jug in his employer's hand and said:

"it?"

“Yes, it looks much better than the Hunter potion.” Lumian smiled and shook the flask. “You only have ten minutes to decide whether to drink it or not.”

"Ten minutes?" Lugano was shocked.

Lumian nodded:
“No, eight minutes.

"If you haven't made up your mind within eight minutes, I will go downstairs to find a stray dog, or catch a mouse, and feed it this potion."

"Don't I need to adjust my physical and mental state?" Lugano's face was full of fear.

Isn't this too casual?
This is a magic potion!

If your physical and mental state is not right, you will definitely lose control and become a monster, or die on the spot!
“Only seven minutes left,” Lumian reminded with a smile, “You are in good condition, you just need to relax and remember that you are Ludwig’s nanny and family doctor.”

"Is this possible?" Lugano still couldn't believe it.

"Six minutes." Lumian said coldly.

“……” Lugano was stunned.

How could time pass so quickly!
He gritted his teeth and said:

"it is good.

"But I need to go drink in the underground Trier."

"Hmm?" Lumian raised an eyebrow.

Lugano quickly explained:
"I think having my feet on the ground will help me keep myself together while I drink the potion."

The "Earth" path... Lumian took the gray wine jug, turned around and walked out of the room.

Lugano followed him and took out a bunch of banknotes:
“This is all my savings, 1.5 Filkins.

"You said before that you would help me make up the rest."

Lumian nodded slightly and accepted the 1.5 Felkin without any hesitation.

He currently has 8.6 Fell Gold, including a few coins and bars.

Once they were on the street, Lumian headed straight for the nearest entrance to the underground Trier. A stray dog ​​passed by, barking as if to intimidate the two men.

Lumian laughed and asked Lugano:
“Can you understand what it’s saying?”

Lugano, whose mind was full of the "Harvest Priest" potion, asked in astonishment:
"You, can you understand?
"Do you have a magical item corresponding to the 'Beast Tamer'?"

Lumian smiled to himself:

"It said, I just heard you say you would feed me a 'Harvest Priest' potion, why haven't you given it to me yet?"

“…” Only then did Lugano realize that his employer was joking.

On second thought, Lugano felt that he was being mocked by his employer:

“He’s calling me a stray dog ​​in a roundabout way!
"I was actually wondering why he hadn't given me the Harvest Priest potion yet..."

After entering the underground Trier, Lumian walked around to an abandoned tunnel with familiarity and threw the gray wine jug to Lugano.

When Lugano frantically caught the wine jug, Lumian reminded him coldly:
"Two minutes left."

Lugano took a breath, unscrewed the lid, and saw the beer-shaped potion in the jug.

He began to recall how he had cared for and treated Ludwig, forcing his tense mind to relax a little.

After dozens of seconds, Lugano took two deep breaths, raised the gray-white wine jug, and gulped down the potion.

Lumian, who was pinching a ball of white flame to use as a lighting tool, watched silently, observing the various changes in Lugano's body.

He did not forget that this "servant" of his was quite abnormal. He could stay awake in the "Dream Festival"!

Lugano's face quickly twisted, as if he was once again experiencing the pain of having his arm bitten off by Ludwig.

Lumian saw his feet sinking deeper and deeper into the mud. The hair on his exposed skin was growing thicker and longer at a speed visible to the naked eye. The same was true for his brown hair. His brown eyes lost focus.

After reaching a certain point, these changes stopped and Lugano's expression gradually relaxed.

It’s going well... He fits the path of the Cultivator quite well... Not sure if this is caused by his own abnormality... Lumian muttered something silently, and saw Lugano’s eyes slowly regain clarity and rationality.

He asked in a relaxed manner:

"What abilities did you gain?"

Although in the world of mysticism, asking for details of other people's extraordinary abilities is unwelcome, but who says that the person on the other side is your "servant"?

Lugano didn't think there was anything wrong with this. While checking his own condition, he recalled the mystical knowledge he had gained:

“The therapeutic capabilities have been expanded to treat diseases of plants and farmland…

“It can also catalyze seeds, making them grow or reproduce faster.

"There are two situations: One is to press your hands on the ground, which can make the seeds and plants within a radius of about 30 meters grow much faster than normal, or reproduce better, but it is impossible to make them burst out all their vitality within tens of seconds or minutes and go through the entire journey from conception to return. The second is to directly hold some seeds or plants and completely catalyze the life contained in them.

"The second situation is that I can create a large number of vines in a very short period of time, allowing them to entangle and control the enemy."

Hearing this, Lumian asked thoughtfully:

"The catalysis of the life contained in it can only work on plants, not on humans?"

"No." Lugano shook his head.

Lumian continued to ask:
"If you encounter a monster that has intelligence but is essentially a plant, can you make it burst out with all its life in a few seconds or ten seconds through direct contact, so that it can live out its life?"

"First I have to be able to touch it..." Lugano said that this was very dangerous and not something that he, a Beyonder who was not specialized in combat, could do.

He added:
"And I'm not sure it will have the effect you expect."

Lumian nodded imperceptibly, signaling Lugano to continue.

Lugano reorganized his thoughts and said:
“If we can obtain different kinds of mutant plant seeds, the catalytic ability can play a significant role in combat.

"I can also control plants and insects within a range of thirty meters, allowing them to provide me with corresponding assistance without exceeding the limitations of their own species. Well, the intelligent ones are not available.

"I also got a few ritual magics, mainly praying for rain and sunny weather."

PS: I want double monthly tickets on the second to last day~
