Chapter 1076: Weather Warlock

Remembering the information about the "Post-Apocalyptic Book," Lu Mian decided to pretend he hadn't seen the prophecy currently displayed.

No matter what, the subsequent things still had to follow his own rhythm!

Just then, the "Post-Apocalyptic Book" flipped another page, and there was new content on it:

"I saw Lu Mian Lee go crazy."

These mercury-colored characters were all written in Ancient Hermes.

Lu Mian raised his eyebrows, *slap* closed the ancient book bound in parchment, and pressed down hard.

He then looked at the very top of the bronze long table:

"Mr. 'Fool,' how should I seal the 'Post-Apocalyptic Book'? Can you provide help?"

Mr. "Fool," shrouded in gray fog, beckoned, and Lu Mian's "Traveler's Bag," which had been left on the battlefield, flew from behind the giant stone chair toward its owner.

After Lu Mian reached out to catch it, he found that a vast space had been isolated inside the "Traveler's Bag," a space that could accommodate a city.

In the center of this space was also placed an ordinary twenty-sided die.

I thought the materials used for this "Traveler's Bag" couldn't bear the city-level space needed to seal the "Post-Apocalyptic Book" and needed to be custom-made... Did Mr. "Fool" remake it? Lu Mian pressed his hand to his chest and bowed slightly:

"Thank you, Mr. 'Fool'."

By the time he raised his head, he found that the Beyonder characteristic from Ohaiz had been crushed and reorganized, divided into one Beyonder characteristic of Sequence 4 "Mystic" and two Beyonder characteristics of Sequence 5 "Astrologer," and all had been simply sealed.

Lady "Hermit," who was diagonally opposite, saw this and immediately said:

"I will provide the potion formulas for 'Mystic' and 'Astrologer'."

Lady "Magician" sighed and followed up:

"I will provide a drop of mythical creature blood."

It's really an all-around service, trying to let "Professor" and the others each increase by one sequence. The reward for the mission is really generous... Lu Mian thanked them on behalf of those members of the "Curly-Haired Baboons Research Society."

Only then did he ponder the "Weather Warlock" potion formula that Mr. "Fool" had just gifted:

"Name: Weather Warlock;

"Sequence: 2;

"Main materials: Skull of a Weather Giant, Core of a Cloud Jellyfish;

"Auxiliary materials: 30 ml of blood from three deceased people who died in different extreme weather, 500 hairs of a Weather Giant, five crystals of a Cloud Jellyfish, a branch of a tree struck by lightning, 20 ml of water from the first snow of each year in a region.

"Promotion ritual: Without the help of external forces, forcibly change the weather in a region in a very short time.

"Note: After the Fourth Era, Weather Giants and Cloud Jellyfish no longer exist."

In other words, "Weather Warlocks" all exist in the form of angels or sealed artifacts? Lu Mian was not surprised by this.

"Hunter" is a pathway of war, and the corresponding magical creatures or Beyonder species are very difficult to hide completely, which is likely to trigger disputes and disasters, making them easily noticed.

Moreover, after the slaughter of the first four eras, even if there are still magical creatures corresponding to "Weather Warlock," they should be true gods with a complete Beyonder characteristic, that is, angels.

Lu Mian then focused his attention on that ritual:

"Without relying on external forces, this ritual is a bit difficult. A region has to be like the Trier region. Relying on the frost ability of the 'Ageless Witch,' wanting to affect Trier City would take a certain amount of time, and there can't be anyone to stop it...

"Relying on external forces would be very simple...

"Is the core of this ritual to let me master the mysteries of weather changes, using smaller forces to pry into large-scale changes? Like a hurricane on the sea, it wasn't that terrifying at the beginning, it could only be considered a cyclone, then gradually strengthened, slowly sweeping through a sea area and regions one by one...

"I can consider it in this direction, but it doesn't satisfy the condition of a very short time. Do I need to rely on myself to accelerate it?

"Heh, I have to learn again. As the saying goes in the dream city, those who lead the war must know astronomy and geography...

"Actually, this ritual also has a shortcut. Like Sequence 3 of the 'Sailor' pathway called 'Sea King,' he can completely change the weather in a region and have a heavy rain. In this case, if I kill him, won't the weather change? This also didn't rely on external forces, no one helped me... Hmm, you can't use items during the battle, otherwise it counts as borrowing external forces...

"Hehe, the promotion of 'Hunter' indeed has a hidden shortcut: hunting, fighting, war..."

While "Chariot" Lu Mian was thinking, Mr. "Fool" answered several questions from Lady "Hermit" and other Great Arcana cards.

Lu Mian thought for a while and said:

"Mr. 'Fool,' why was the 'Hidden Sage' activated by the 'Great Mother'?"

This is not to say that the "Great Mother" didn't look down on the "Hidden Sage," but, how was this done?

—From the mystical knowledge taught by Lady "Magician," it can be deduced that during the Fourth Era, the barrier of this world against evil gods was still very strong.

Mr. "Fool" said in a flat voice:

"The problem is in the Western Continent."

Western Continent? The Western Continent is outside the barrier, isn't there another layer of Celestial Worthy seal? Lu Mian hadn't had time to raise the doubts in his heart when Mr. "Fool" said again:

"The 'Hidden Sage's' name for that one is 'Great Mother,' not her true honorific name."

What does that mean? Right, with the level of the "Hidden Sage," he must be qualified to know the complete honorific name of the "Great Mother" and not be afraid of deep pollution. Why did he still use a substitute name? It couldn't be that he was afraid of affecting Mr. "Fool," right? Lu Mian felt that there was very important information hidden in this sentence of Mr. "Fool," but he couldn't interpret it.

Mr. "Fool" did not give further explanation, nodded gently, and said:

"This gathering ends here."

"Your will is our wish." The Great Arcana cards present stood up at the same time.

…………

Trier, in that luxury villa.

Seeing Lu Mian walk down the stairs and come to the living room, Franca asked curiously:

"How was it?"

Although her mission was mainly to contact, persuade, and protect key personnel, and her contribution was not too great, this did not prevent her from being interested in the harvest of the god war and the specific distribution.

Lu Mian told everything he could tell, and finally said:

"Do you want to exchange for a Grade '1' Sealed Artifact?"

"Of course I want to exchange!" Franca said without hesitation, "Those mid-to-low sequence Beyonder characteristics and magical items, even if only one-third are left, are enough for us to develop subordinates in the Trier region, maintain believers, and even have a surplus!"

She was embarrassed to say "spread faith," because in the Trier region, the Fool Church could not actively spread faith. This place belonged to the "Eternal Blazing Sun" Church and the "God of Steam and Machinery" Church.

Franca thought about focusing on finding and attacking hidden evil cults later, and developing the believers who could still be saved to her, Lu Mian, and the future Jenna's side.

"Which one to exchange for?" Lu Mian asked about the intentions of his two companions.

Franca and Jenna exchanged glances.

Jenna said after deliberation:

"The 'Witch' pathway itself is relatively good at mystical things. Choosing the sealed artifact formed by the 'Mystic' or 'Prophet Master' Beyonder characteristic cannot achieve the purpose of making up for shortcomings or enhancing strengths. As for prophecy, we have spiritual intuition, 'Magic Mirror Divination,' and also the 'Post-Apocalyptic Book.' It's not too urgent."

"Yes." Franca agreed, "If it were a living 'Mystic' or 'Prophet Master,' I could tell them ancient myths and secret knowledge. As long as part of it is true, it can help them create powerful fairy tale magic or mythical magic, but sealed artifacts can't. Sealed artifacts won't listen to me or accept my teaching. The spell effects they produce will only be fixed to the original ones."

Franca hesitated and said:

"Among the remaining two, I am more inclined toward 'Coffin Carrier.'

"Just listening to the name, it must have the power of the death domain, which can make up for the weakness that my and Jenna's single attacks are not lethal enough and the burst is not high, except for curses and 'full-force strikes.' Moreover, this belongs to the 'Farmer' pathway and must have healing abilities, which can be used to respond to believers and drive away pain. Hmm, with its assistance, my progress in creating mystical phage pathogens will also be greatly accelerated.

"But the problem is, this is an item with divinity of the 'Farmer' pathway."

The Planter pathway is also called the Earth pathway or the Mother pathway.

Franca looked toward Lu Mian:

"Mr. Fool once said that you need to stay away from the Mother. Didn't you previously have Lu Jianuo try his best not to contact you, and only through prayer if he did? Hmm, it's not that you need to stay away; it's that the Calamity needs to stay away from the Mother. Jenna and I are also of the two Calamity pathways."

Lu Mian thought for a moment and said:

"Since Mr. Fool didn't say I couldn't choose this sealed artifact, there shouldn't be any major problems...

"How about this: when you pray to Mr. Fool, expressing your willingness to trade one-third of the mid-to-low sequence Beyonder characteristics and magical items for a Grade 1 sealed artifact, ask directly if a Beyonder of the two Calamity pathways can choose the sealed artifact corresponding to the Gravekeeper."

"If that doesn't work, we'll have to choose the Mysteryologist..." Franca's eyes gradually lit up. "That could work too. This is Sequence 3 of the Knowledge Keeper pathway. I can search for a Physician Beyonder characteristic, hand-craft a fully automatic treatment machine to help me respond to those prayers for relief from illness, and have the self-in-the-mirror be responsible for the distribution. In the future, who knows, I might even be able to pilot a Gundam..."

Having confirmed this matter, Lu Mian was just about to have Jenna or Franca pray to Mr. Fool, but Franca stood up and said with a brilliant smile:

"It's time to go distribute the spoils of war to Professor and the others!"

Happiness alone is not as good as happiness shared by all!

…………

Professor and the others had long been brought back to Trier by Franca. Currently, following instructions, they were gathered in a garden villa rented by Lady Hela. Their families and those wizards from the Curly-Haired Baboons Research Society who had been summoned earlier were all here.

Seeing Sleeve Sword and the hooded, masked Muggle emerge from the mirror, Professor, Periodic Table, and Prototype, who were resting in the living room, stood up simultaneously:

"When can we go home?"

Before they had finished speaking, they suddenly saw three items floating in front of Muggle and Sleeve Sword:

One was an eyeball-shaped illusory gem with restrained radiance, emitting a dim aura, as if a gaze were peering out from within to scrutinize everything; the other two were spherical crystals adorned with many brilliant, rather illusory points.

This... the gazes of Professor and the others froze instantly.
