Chapter 439

Jenna didn't feel much about the first part of the sermon; it was not much different from the holy book of the "Eternal Blazing Sun" Church, quite similar.

Hearing that "Fool," this orthodox god, required addressing him as "he" rather than "He," Jenna was moved and gradually became attentive.

Not long after, she couldn't help but reveal an expression of astonishment:

*The great adventurer Gehrman Sparrow is a person of the Fool Church? *

*He is an incarnation of an angel, responsible for conveying the oracle of the 'Fool,' in the name of redemption? *

In such shock, Jenna finished listening to the not-too-long sermon, and that half-giant bishop Teslian did not mention again whether she wanted to believe in the "Fool," walking toward one of the few people praying in the church.

That person praying seemed to be a sailor from the sea, in his prime, with copper-colored skin, obvious traces of wind and rain on his face, messy hair, deep blue in color, and his facial features were not very clear because he was burying his head in prayer.

He was wearing linen shirts, brown jackets, and dark trousers with wide legs that pirate sailors loved, and a special belt around his waist, with short knives, telescopes, and other items inserted on it.

*He should be a captain, looking quite majestic... * Lu Mian withdrew his gaze and looked at Jenna.

Jenna was still digesting the content just now, her mind was a mess, she stood up somewhat confusedly, walked out of the church, and walked aimlessly along the edge of the port area.

Lu Mian put his hands in his pockets and followed behind her, saying nothing and doing nothing.

After walking for nearly ten minutes like this, Jenna slowed down and said to herself:

"No wonder you said you were still a shallow believer of God."

The God here refers to the "Eternal Blazing Sun."

Lu Mian smiled and said:

"You can also just be a shallow believer of Mr. 'Fool.' He doesn't care about such things."

"I, I'll consider it again..." Today's sermon overturned Jenna's cognition a bit. It wasn't that the holy book was written well, but the self-address of Mr. "Fool" and the attitude of the Fool Church toward believers were completely different from the education she had received in the past, making her attitude toward worshipping an extra god no longer so resistant, having a bit of wavering, and struggling more and more.

Lu Mian looked at Jenna and did not persuade her persistently.

At this time, one must know that it is necessary to stop trying when it reaches an appropriate degree. Excessive force is very likely to cause a rebound, bringing unnecessary rejection and disgust.

Almost simultaneously, Lu Mian sighed in his heart:

*Sure enough, preaching still needs professional people... *

*With the friendship between me and Jenna, she didn't think much after hearing my proposal and said she didn't want to convert, but after listening to that bishop's sermon and statement, she had a certain wavering... *

The two walked forward in silence for another ten or twenty meters. Lu Mian looked at the busy port area in the distance and the nearby streets where no one came and went, and asked casually:

"How are the materials for your 'Witch' potion collected?"

Jenna paused:

"I just finished digesting the 'Instigator' potion two days ago. How could I have collected the main materials for the 'Witch' potion today?"

Perhaps because she had just left the church, her impulse to swear was not so strong.

"Heh, I finished digesting the 'Pyromaniac' potion yesterday, and I got the main materials and main auxiliary materials for the 'Conspirer' potion yesterday," Lu Mian hit Jenna.

Jenna finally couldn't help it:

"Damn! Can we be the same? I also want such a special hunting ground to digest and hunt!"

She had already learned about Lu Mian's general encounter in the underground labyrinth of Red Tianebao from Franca, not including the reply part of Ms. "Magician."

This made Jenna feel unreal:

*Before last night, she and Lu Mian were one Sequence 8 and one Sequence 7, not too far apart. How could the things they experienced be so different, just like being in two worlds? *

*One of them is still floating on the surface of the occult field, occasionally contacting some things that are terrifying when thought about, and the other has already sunk into the depths of the occult field, surrounded by secrets and dangers. *

After venting, Jenna muttered:

"I just asked the 'Purifiers,' they don't seem to be very willing for me to continue to promote and become a 'Witch.' Well, they are not willing to prepay me the corresponding potion main materials as a reward, saying that there is nothing special to investigate recently, but they promised that if I can raise funds, they can sell the main materials of the potion and the auxiliary materials that are relatively difficult to encounter to me at a preferential price. Each main material only costs 16,000 Vergold."

*Discount price... And, this promise means that the 'Purifiers' have every main material for the 'Witch' potion? I thought they only had aggregated Beyonder characteristics. After all, their way of obtaining 'Witch'-related items should be hunting... Does the 'Eternal Blazing Sun' Church have a way to restore Beyonder characteristics into main materials? * Lu Mian didn't quite understand.

He looked at the side of the road and asked thoughtfully:

"Are you owing Franca 60,000 Vergold now?"

"Yes." Mentioning this, Jenna was very distressed, "I don't know when I can pay it off."

Lu Mian laughed:

"Do you want to owe a little more?"

"Ah?" Jenna's thoughts stuck.

Lu Mian maintained the posture of putting his hands in his pockets and said with a smile:

"You owe me 35,000 Vergold, and I will help you collect all the materials for the 'Witch' potion."

"You, you know where there are?" Jenna's first reaction was to ask about the authenticity.

Lu Mian smiled:

"Not sure, but there is great hope."

He wanted to exchange it from the "Iron and Blood Cross Order."

Gardner Martin said yesterday that his adventure in the underground labyrinth of Red Tianebao had a certain harvest, which was worth rewarding. This could be cashed out directly, or accumulated, and then exchanged for a higher-sequence potion later. Lu Mian hadn't thought about what it could be used for at the time and decided to wait for a period of time before doing so. But now, he intended to use the contribution to help Jenna exchange for all the materials for the "Witch" potion.

This might still need to stick a part of the money, but the disaster might come at any time. In the situation where he might not stay in the "Iron and Blood Cross Order" later, of course, he had to turn the illusory contribution into a substantial reward as soon as possible.

By comparison, the magical artifacts that could be exchanged for this level of contribution were obviously not as good as a living "Witch," as long as she was willing to provide help.

By then, the combination of "Conspirer" Lu Mian, "Pleasure Witch" Franca, and "Witch" Jenna could be called a powerful team even in official forces and the Inquisition. Combined with corresponding magical artifacts, it was enough to deal with most Beyonders below the demigod level. Moreover, they also had an extra member, "Psychiatrist" Anthony Reid.

As for the question of whether Gardner Martin had materials corresponding to the "Witch" potion, Lu Mian tended to have them. After all, the mainstream of the "Iron and Blood Cross Order" is the "Hunter" pathway, which is adjacent to the "Assassin" pathway. Over the years, it is impossible that no "aggregation effect" has occurred.

If it really doesn't work, he can also ask Mr. K and Ms. "Magician."

Jenna fell silent and didn't answer for a while.

Lu Mian laughed again:

"Owe me debt is not a good thing. Besides having to pay back the principal, you also have to pay interest, and the interest is to do things for me. You are very lucky. There is such an opportunity recently."

Jenna pursed her lips and exhaled slowly:

"Okay, I'll give you 10,000 Vergold first, so I only owe you 25,000."

"No problem," Lu Mian agreed indifferently.

Seeing that Jenna still wanted to say something, he chuckled:

"Don't thank me..."

He then pinched his throat and pretended to be a female voice:

"Who told us to be friends?"

"..." Jenna held back for a long time and finally squeezed out a word, "Damn!"

Lu Mian smiled and didn't respond.

Jenna walked through the street with him in silence and walked toward the rental carriages parked there.

When getting on the carriage, Jenna suddenly muttered to herself:

"Thank you."

Lu Mian acted as if he hadn't heard, occupied a seat, and leaned back without any image.

…………

In the afternoon, 11 Spring Street.

Lu Mian met Gardner Martin, who was wearing a shirt and sweater.

"Boss, I want to exchange my contribution for the 'Witch' potion or all the corresponding materials." Lu Mian stated his purpose directly.

Gardner Martin didn't show a surprised expression, looked at Lu Mian, and asked with a smile:

"Who are you preparing the 'Witch' potion for?"

"Jenna," Lu Mian answered frankly.

Gardner Martin put on a posture of listening, signaling Lu Mian to continue.

Lu Mian said sincerely:

"I want a fixed, trustworthy helper with good strength."

Speaking of this, he showed a smile:

"And, I also want to experience what true pleasure is."

Gardner Martin laughed:

"Not bad, this is the 'Hunter' with ambition.

"No problem, come to get the Beyonder characteristics and auxiliary materials tomorrow morning. Well, make up another 10,000 Vergold."

Gardner Martin understood Lu Mian's words just now. That was clearly expressing that he and Jenna had a close relationship and trusted each other, and also hinting that he and Franca were just a relationship of mutual help, not involving the pleasure part.

Lu Mian returned the smile:

"Thank you, 'Officer'."

After leaving Spring Street and returning to the Breeze Dance Hall, Lu Mian, who had been running around all day, finally had some free time.

In the evening, he drank "Green Fairy," listened leisurely to Jenna, who was dressed in an exaggerated female style, trying hard to sing to earn money, and his thoughts naturally diverged:

*"How much money can an underground singer earn? A few thousand Vergold a year... *

*It's still more profitable to fleece the 'Iron and Blood Cross Order' and hunt evil god believers... After Jenna becomes a 'Witch,' she will have the strength to participate in this level of battle... *

*Speaking of which, I didn't feel it when I read the 'Great Adventurer' series before. Now that I think about it, isn't Gehrman Sparrow hunting those pirates with Beyonder characteristics most of the time? How can one become a famous pirate or a great pirate without Beyonder characteristics? *

*Well, although the corresponding battles are blurred and exaggerated, only highlighting the key points, it can be seen that the author has a certain understanding of the battles between Beyonders. Is Ms. Fors Wall also a Beyonder? *

When he relaxed until near midnight, Lu Mian returned to the Golden Rooster Hotel.

Just as he pushed open the door of 207, he saw the letter paper folded into squares on the table with the help of the crimson moonlight.

*Ms. 'Magician's' letter... * Lu Mian lit the carbide lamp and unfolded the letter paper:

"Mr. 'Hanged Man' hopes that you and Holy Grail II will summon the 'Armor Shadow' once recently, and he is responsible for providing gold.

"Tell me after you confirm the time."

PS: Recommend a book, "They All Call Me Master."

The protracted "Witch Hunt" disappeared with the end of the Seven Years' War. The mystery of the East Coast began to hide, but gunpowder began to rise rapidly.

Mo Qishang, who should have been at a loss, stood at the crossroads of fate in the name of Arthur. He looked in amazement at the charging knights, the wizards on the high towers, and the weirdness in the wilderness. He felt the sharpness of the long sword and the recoil of the fire gun clearly and strangely. Finally, he shook his robe excitedly and said with a smile: Don't believe what I say, because belief exists!
