Chapter 1052

Lu Mian recalled the information related to faith provided by the "Tarot Club" and said cautiously:

"This should be the occult manifestation of the anchor of faith, and also the result of chanting the honorific name."

"Oh oh oh, I received their prayers..." Franca suddenly realized.

She then said:

"Fortunately, we are now one inside and outside the mirror, and our consciousness is both inside and outside the mirror. We can let the mirror self be responsible for handling the believers' affairs, which won't affect our daily life and combat state. Otherwise, being prayed to like this suddenly during a fierce battle would easily distract us and cause accidents.

"However, I think some Sequence 3s of certain pathways should be able to effectively use this kind of prayer to briefly strengthen themselves. The 'Sun' pathway?"

"'War Bishop'." Lu Mian smiled, "Within a certain range, the more anchors, the stronger the 'War Bishop.' His soldiers are his anchors."

Franca nodded and browsed through those light spots with great interest, listening to those phantom voices, wanting to understand what the believers were praying for.

"Body always healthy...

"Whole family safe...

"Business smooth...

"No danger during sea adventures...

"Stay away from strife and war...

"These are all routine prayers. I can't respond or give help. They are too vague." Franca whispered to herself.

She looked at Lu Mian:

"Your Fate domain power can actually play a role. There's nothing that can't be solved by good luck or turning luck around.

"Why doesn't anyone come to curse an enemy?"

Speaking of this, Franca was stunned for a moment:

"There is a prayer who wants the disease on his body to be cured...

"I'm a professional at making people sick, but curing disease isn't a Witch's authority..."

Jenna thought for a moment and said:

"Are there any leftover treatment potions given by Mr. 'Moon' before? Try using that?"

Lu Mian had 11 bottles left in his "Traveler's Bag," and Franca, Jenna, and Anthony each had two bottles.

"That's right. No one stipulates that a patron saint can't borrow external force." Franca immediately took out a bottle of potion from the "Traveler's Bag."

While recalling the occult information provided by the "Tarot Club," she imitated the content described above and the knowledge in the textbooks before transmigration, enlarged the corresponding prayer light spot, extended the invisible Witch spider silk into it, and quietly inserted it into the prayer's nostril, reaching the stomach.

During this process, she used the power of "Petrification" to make the flesh touched by the spider silk fall into a paralyzed state to prevent the prayer from noticing the abnormality.

Immediately after, Franca unscrewed the bottle cap of the treatment potion and let the liquid inside flow toward the end along the spider silk.

After doing all this, she retracted the spider silk and lifted the paralysis.

That prayer, who was dressed simply and had many patches, suddenly felt his stomach become a little heavier, as if he had unknowingly drunk a glass of water.

He didn't care, finished the prayer, continued to listen, until the half-giant Bishop finished preaching and distributed the holy meal.

Just at this time, the believer made a sound of surprise:

"Eh..."

Seeing the people around him looking at him, he said both dazed and joyfully:

"My spirit has become better, my body is relaxed...

"My illness is cured!"

He finally realized and said to the fellow believers who were looking at him with a bit of fanaticism:

"I just prayed to Saint Franca for my illness to be cured!

"She favored me!

"Praise you, Keeper of Disease and Plague, Great Franca Roland!"

Franca, who was watching from the corner, felt both embarrassed and secretly happy:

The feeling of helping others is not bad!

The feeling of getting sincere praise from others is also not bad!

After this batch of believers left Saint Franca Church, Franca lowered her voice and said to Lu Mian and Jenna:

"Can't rely on treatment potions every time, right? Since my honorific name has the sentence 'Keeper of Disease and Plague,' there will definitely be no shortage of prayers in this regard later."

Without waiting for the two companions to respond, Franca muttered to herself:

"Sequence 4 can actually create its own unique plague varieties or occult pathogens. I want to invent an occult pathogen whose trait is to devour other pathogens, and the impact it brings to humans is drowsiness, fatigue, or laziness for a period of time. This can cure almost all diseases of ordinary people except for their own muscle mutations..."

"If you really succeed, this can also be used in battles with other Witches." Lu Mian was quite looking forward to the occult pathogen described by Franca.

Of course, this was just a concept, and whether it could be created in the end was still unknown.

Franca thought about it seriously and suddenly smiled:

"There is another kind of disease that a Witch can cure."

"What?" Jenna asked curiously.

"Dysfunction in that aspect." Franca "tsk-ed" with self-deprecation and emotion, "Just throw a 'Charm' over, it's effective for a certain period of time, can't be cured permanently. Damn, what kind of thing is this..."

Lu Mian and Jenna were silent for a moment.

Franca thought for a moment and said:

"When I advanced that day, I felt that there were not only your two anchors, but also some others. It seems, it seems to come from the Market District..."

"Dancing girls and street girls you took care of before? Especially those who changed their lives through learning drama performance?" Jenna suddenly realized.

"This is also an anchor..." Franca said with emotion, "This is called good people get good rewards. However, the Savar Party is gone, and after we were forced to leave the Market District, their situation should have become worse again, so they will miss the past. I'll go back to the Market District later, find the person currently leading the relevant affairs, 'persuade' them, and control them. It's a pity, this is Trier, and there's no way to completely solve the problems in this regard. If I don't have to stay in Trier in the future, I want to find a place to establish a new society!"

Saying it and doing it, Franca and Jenna quickly left the church and headed to the Market District.

Lu Mian didn't follow them, worried that it would divide Franca and Jenna's anchors.

He chose to take a carriage to the outskirts to take a look at Saint Lu Mian Church.

On the way, more than a dozen or twenty light spots suddenly appeared before his eyes, and phantom prayers echoed in his ears.

"The preaching about me has also begun..." Lu Mian nodded imperceptibly and browsed through the prayers of different believers.

Just like what Franca said just now, these were almost all empty, difficult to realize, and routine prayers. Lu Mian also didn't have the idea of using the Fate domain power to help turn luck around for the time being.

While browsing, he discovered a relatively special prayer.

This wasn't actually a prayer, but an old lady telling the patron saint about the regrets in her heart:

When she was young, her family was poor, and she didn't have the money to take photos. By the time her family's situation improved, she was already old and couldn't reproduce her youth and let that period of life be recorded.

"I also have regrets, not cherishing the few years before Cordu Village..." Lu Mian pondered for a moment and decided to respond to this prayer.

He enlarged the corresponding light spot and saw the old lady with obvious wrinkles on her face, wearing a black conservative dress.

In Lu Mian's eyes, layers of mirror worlds appeared, reflecting the state of the old lady at different periods. There was her as a child, her as innocent and lively, her as youthful and simple, her as mature and steady, and her as kind and gentle...

Lu Mian, sitting in the carriage, quickly chose the mirror trace of her when she was only seventeen or eighteen years old.

On the face of the old lady who was praying, the wrinkles shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye, and her skin quickly regained its luster.

This was an application of the "Unaging" trait, but when used on others, it could only be maintained for a very short period of time, no more than half an hour. After all, the mirror trace that established the occult connection was illusory and not real or stable.

In Lu Mian's view, this was half temporary rejuvenation and half mirror illusion.

After the old lady turned into the appearance of seventeen or eighteen years old, Lu Mian transmitted a message with a female voice:

"As soon as possible."

The old lady suddenly broke away from the prayer state, not knowing where the pleasant female voice that was a bit cold and low came from.

"You, you..." The people around her all widened their eyes.

"What's wrong with me?" The old lady asked the fellow believers around her in a daze.

The next second, she found that her voice had become quite sweet, just like when she was young.

"You you you..." The fellow believers nearby were still speechless, but someone handed over a mirror.

The old lady looked at the mirror and was stunned in her seat.

This, isn't this me when I was young?

What's going on?

Did I regain my youth?

Did the prayer I just made to Saint Lu Mian get a response?

As thoughts flashed through her mind, the female voice she heard just now flashed through her mind:

"As soon as possible."

She suddenly realized, stood up abruptly, and smiled at the fellow believers around her:

"I'm going to take photos!"

She quickly squeezed out of this area and walked quickly toward the church door.

As she walked, she lifted her skirt and ran, running faster and faster, just like when she was seventeen or eighteen, running desperately for a job opportunity.

She ran to the nearest photo studio and sat in front of the background curtain.

Click, a light lit up, freezing a youthful and brilliant smile.

Inside the moving carriage.

Lu Mian, who had finished responding to the prayer, seriously thought about the anchor problem of the "Witch's" faith:

"'War Bishop' is actually simple. Recruit soldiers, cultivate teams, that's it...

"'Witch' abilities are mostly disaster-oriented, and it's very difficult to use them positively to develop believers... The 'Unaging Witches' of the Witch Sect should rely on temptation, charm, and fear from disasters...

"In the early stage of faith, making people fear is also a way to develop believers, the most standard way...

"But since it's affiliated with the 'Fool' Church, it can't be done like this...

"Fear..."

Lu Mian suddenly associated it with a sect that deliberately spread the fear of disease:

"Disease Sect"!

His eyes, clear like a high-altitude lake, suddenly lit up:

"Is it possible to take over the 'Disease Sect,' clear out all the gifted people and all those polluted by evil gods, and then steal the faith pointing to the evil god and make certain tampering?

"This is a bit like that passage in the Sea God Church's scriptures... This can also weaken the influence of the corresponding evil god on the real world..."
