Ring of Fate

Chapter 862: A "wonderful" method
After Franca vented her anger and lay down again, Lumian asked:
"What did you say was the matter?"

Franca glanced at the bedroom window with the curtains drawn, and her meaning was clear:

First, check if the "Black Witch" is looking at this place!

Lumian said in a normal tone:

"We are in the 'Bottle of Makebelieve'."

"..." Franka blinked, "When did it happen?"

“When I closed the door before, I was afraid it would affect the people in the surrounding rooms,” Lumian answered sincerely.

"..." Franca was about to get angry again. She said angrily, "That has to be confirmed! What if the 'Black Witch' can use the mirror world to penetrate the 'Bottle of Fiction' without being discovered by you?"

“Yes, yes, yes.” Lumian corrected his mistakes and picked up his “Traveler’s Bag” from the bedside table, took out the “Black Tear” forehead ornament, quickly sensed it for a few seconds, and put it back.

Only then did Franka relax her expression and nodded with satisfaction:
"The thing is, Mr. Xingxing gave me another task, and said that in addition to the Requiem Master's potion formula and corresponding materials, he would give me some special rewards."

"What mission?" Lumian asked cooperatively.

Franka said with a hint of doubt:

"Go get some water from the 'Well of the Samaritan Woman'."

Lumian's first reaction was to think about the purpose of this mission, but then he remembered what Franka said, that Mr. "Star" was suspected to be a high-ranking member of the Red Gloves in the "Night Watchers" of the Church of the Night, and that the "Underworld Man" could grant others extraordinary powers of the "dark" path.

"It is foreseeable that Mr. 'Star', or the Church of Darkness behind him, needs the water from the 'Samaritan Woman's Spring', but this task is too simple for us now, and he wants to give you a special reward. Doesn't this seem a bit strange?" Lumian said carefully.

Franka thought for a moment and said:
"I think so too. It feels like he designed this mission just to give me that special reward. It doesn't make sense. We've only met once."

Compared to other "witches" in the witch sect, one of Franka's greatest advantages is that she doesn't take it for granted that all men she meets will be infatuated with her and want to please her.

Lumian thought for a few seconds and said:

"Perhaps that special reward will bring a lot of trouble, and it also represents something that Mr. Star really wants you to do."

Franka nodded with understanding:
“Free things are the most expensive. Rewards that seem ‘free’ often have hidden prices.”

After realizing this, she was no longer so worried.

She felt that the problems that might arise from the special reward, even if it would bring considerable trouble, should be something that she and others could hope to solve, otherwise the Major Arcana cards would not make such a choice.

She turned to Lumian and asked:

"How is your collection of supporting materials going?"

This should be a daily concern, but hasn't she been feeling uncomfortable whenever she sees Lumian these past few days?

Lumian recalled:

"I found a large battlefield from the war a few years ago and got a bag of bloody dirt."

"I thought you would go to the camp where Anthony and his comrades were attacked." Franca tried to test Lumian's condition with a teasing tone.

Lumian responded with a smile:
“Am I that devilish?

"Besides, it can't be considered a large battlefield, and it may have been contaminated by the evil god's sacrifice."

Franka said "hmm":
"The others?"

"I'm sure there is active magma at the bottom of the volcano on Saint Tike Island, but there's no need to take it now. Put it in the 'Traveler's Bag' and it will solidify soon. I can 'teleport' it when I need it." Lumian has been using the 'teleportation' ability to travel around the world these days. "I plan to make the grass powder contaminated by the disaster stone myself."

As for the acorns, that's pretty simple.

"Make it yourself?" Franka was a little surprised. "Is it possible?"

"In theory, it should be possible. Can't some of the things on the corresponding Beyonders replace this kind of auxiliary materials? And I have the Sword of Courage. I can put the Sword of Courage and its companions on a pile of grass and trees, and pay attention to replacing consumables. It will take about a few days to create contaminated grass and trees. Of course, this kind of contamination is more complicated and serious than simple disaster stone contamination. I plan to ask Ms. Magician in advance whether to reduce the amount."

"Indeed." Franka's eyes lit up, then dimmed a little, "But the bile of the Plague Snake and the fragments of the Silver Hunter in the auxiliary materials of the Witch of Despair cannot be made with the Black Tears."

"There's no rush. Janna hasn't completely digested the 'joy' potion yet. She'll have to wait a few days, or even a week or two, before she can become the 'witch of pain.'" Lumian thought for a moment and said, "We've collected the blood of seven people who died of different plagues."

Although there is no large-scale epidemic at present, sporadic outbreaks have occurred in many places in the north and south continents. They were either quickly eradicated or confined to small closed areas and failed to spread.

Relying on the "magic mirror divination" of the two "witches", Lumian mastered eight or nine similar locations, and then "teleported" Lugano there.

If the authorities have noticed the outbreak of the plague and are working to control it, he will take the blood of the plague victims and leave immediately. If the plague is still spreading quietly, after achieving his goal, he will let Lugano try to treat it. If it cannot be solved, he will find a way to inform the official forces.

After several days of hard work, Lumian basically achieved his desired goal.

Franca breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"Remember to use Black Tear to deliver the potion formula and all the materials given by Mr. Star to Amandine.

"Hey... When will my 'pain' potion be completely digested?"

Although her current digestion progress can be said to be very fast, she still feels it is not enough. The person next to her only needs the final "taming" step before the ceremony can be held to become a Sequence 4 demigod.

Lumian turned his head to look at Franca and said with a smile:

"As I said earlier, you're still a long way from being able to inflict pain on others, and that other person had better not be of a low sequence, otherwise you'll have to use numbers instead."

This time, Franka didn't think about her own pain, and began to think seriously:

"Giving pain to others is not a low order...Giving pain to others is not a low order..."

While mumbling to herself, Franka suddenly turned her head and looked at Lumian with sharp eyes.

The smile on Lumian's face gradually faded, and he raised his eyebrows and said:
"What bold ideas do you have?"

Franka chuckled:
"You have a false angelic identity. If I could make you feel pain, wouldn't your digestion speed be very fast?"

"But it has to be real pain." Lumian did not directly reject Franka's proposal.

"For example, cutting it off?" Franca glanced at the quilt and her smile gradually widened.

Lumian was silent for two seconds and said:
"You can try it."

"No, do you really agree?" Franca was shocked. The suggestion of "cutting it off" was just a joke.

“If it really helps you digest the pain potion quickly.” Lumian shrugged. “It will grow back anyway.”

"Forget it, forget it. This is too painful, and it will leave you with serious psychological trauma and problems." Franca rubbed her messy hair.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up:
“I have a better idea.

“What a great idea!”

Lumian suddenly felt a little uneasy, thinking that Franka's new method might be more unbearable than "cutting it off".

Franka smiled again:
"I associated the word 'cut off' with Julie and her way of digestion. She would seize the opportunity to cut off her target when he was about to reach the ultimate satisfaction, causing him to fall from the ultimate pleasure to the extreme pain.

"I can be more gentle and not cut it off, but I won't let you get the final satisfaction. I'll make you crave and suffer to the limit but still not be satisfied. This is also a kind of intense pain..."

Lumian raised an eyebrow, speechless.

Franka's smile gradually became evil, and she found the feeling of mischief:

"To do this, I have to tie you up with the spider silk of the 'witch' first. I will also prepare more props. For better stimulation, all you need to do is use the ability of the 'ascetic monk' to not burn the spider silk...

"Although this is definitely not as good as Julie's, but your false angel status should be able to make me digest it quickly."

At this point, Franka said, “Tsk!”
"I never thought I would do something like this before, and I would be the one to torture others."

Before, although Lumian knew it was painful, he lacked a concrete concept. However, after tasting the two "witches", he could already imagine how unbearable the torture would be.

"This is a painful hell." Lumian couldn't help but sigh.

"This is the 'witch', the 'witch' that brings joy and pain." Franka said with a smile.

Lumian quickly got out of bed and picked up his clothes.

"Huh?" Franca asked with a puzzled look.

Lumian replied in a deep voice:

"We are going to the 'Samaritan Woman's Fountain' now."

Franca was stunned at first, then burst into laughter and rolled on the bed.

She had passed the "pleasure" stage and her ability to control her desires had returned to normal, so even though she had sex with Lumian and tasted the long-lost taste and gained satisfaction beyond her previous experience, she still felt weird in her heart. After all, he was the person she was most familiar with, and he even knew her original gender. But now, she suddenly felt that this seemed very fun and interesting, and the discomfort in her heart immediately dissipated a lot.

"Just give it a try, just give it a try." She lay on the bed, her eyes sparkling as she continued her prank.

Lumian sighed again:
"Let's wait until we get some water from the Well of the Woman of Samaria."

…………

Next to the "Samaritan Woman Fountain" filled with gray mist.

Because Lumian did not approach and no abnormalities were triggered, Franka waited patiently for a while, then used the small golden bottle given by Mr. "Star" to take half a bottle of water from the "Samaritan Woman's Fountain".

They didn't let Janna come along, fearing that a meeting between Janna and Christelle's shadow would lead to some uncontrollable changes. Lumian planned to wait until he became an "Iron Knight" and had a certain ability to protect himself before bringing Janna in.

——The high-ranking Major Arcana cards don’t seem to like going underground, into the catacombs, but Lumian has a seal, a brand, and an aura on his body, and he feels that even if he has become a demigod, he should be able to enter the area where the "Samaritan Woman Fountain" is located.

Not long after, Franka put away the small golden bottle, and the two walked out of the gray fog side by side.

As they approached the edge of the gray fog on the slope, Lumian and Franka almost simultaneously saw a figure slowly approaching outside the foggy area.

Franka first dodged to the side, then looked at him intently for two seconds.

Her expression suddenly became excited, and she lowered her voice and said to Lumian:
"Harrison!"

That Easter Island visitor Harrison!

We didn’t get together last time, but we met by chance this time!
