Chapter 607

Heard the baby's cry again? Is this being entangled by the so-called Son of God? Lu Mian held the reply from Lady Magician that he hadn't finished reading, adjusted his sitting posture with amusement, and looked at the door:

"Come in."

Lu Jianuo turned the handle, pushed open the door carefully, and walked to Lu Mian's front with his hands and feet shrunk.

Such movements and state, paired with his thick eyebrows, big eyes, and square face, were quite funny.

"That evil wizard, the old man called Prinpino, isn't he already dead? How can I still hear the baby's cry?" Lu Jianuo asked worriedly, weighing his tone.

He had already consulted Ludwig, who had just woken up, and received the answer that the other party hadn't heard the baby's cry.

Lu Mian shook the letter paper in his hand lightly and laughed:

"Two possibilities. One is that there are accomplices of Prinpino on the ship who also master the Son of God descent ritual. The other one..."

Lu Jianuo asked impatiently:

"What is it?"

Lu Mian looked at this "doctor" and said with a smile:

"Perhaps, you have been chosen by the Son of God who hasn't been born yet, wanting to choose you as his surrogate mother. Therefore, even if Prinpino is dead, he doesn't want to leave you, still lingering by your side, normally unable to be seen or sensed."

Lu Jianuo felt his scalp go numb. He couldn't care about the question of why he was a mother instead of a father, and said with a trembling voice:

"What, what should I do?"

"No need to rush." Lu Mian smiled.

"This, this doesn't need to be rushed?" Lu Jianuo felt that his internal organs might be eaten by that so-called Son of God at any time, leaving only an empty body cavity.

"Of course." Lu Mian said in a relaxed state, "Aren't you still alive? Since you're still alive, it means the situation hasn't reached a very serious degree. It can be done slowly; no need to rush."

It seems to be like this... Lu Jianuo, who was circled into the rhetoric, nodded first, then asked suspiciously:

"Does it have to be that I'm dead for the problem to be serious enough and for it to need to be urgent?"

Lu Mian laughed "Hehe":

"No, then there's even less need to rush.

"People are already dead, what's there to rush? Can it still resurrect you?"

In short, there's no need to rush? Lu Jianuo was stunned.

Although he wasn't convinced, the fact that his employer could still joke and use rhetoric to play pranks made him more determined and settled:

This clearly didn't treat the baby's cry as a too serious problem!

Only then did Lu Mian speak of his true speculation:

"There is a third possibility. The pollution you suffered when contacting Enio didn't dissipate so quickly, and it's very likely that it couldn't dissipate naturally, so you will still establish a connection with the Son of God who hasn't been born yet."

"Then how can the pollution be eliminated?" Lu Jianuo accepted this explanation more and believed there was a way to solve it.

Lu Mian didn't answer his question immediately, letting him stand in front of him, and read the last part of Lady Magician's reply to himself:

"With your entanglement with the Son of God and the evil god angel sealed on your body, encountering members of the 'God Descent School' is not a coincidence.

"But your translator and guide is both a Beyonder of the 'Planter' pathway and has other problems, so encountering matters related to the 'Great Mother' is also very normal.

"As for what the problem is, think and ask yourself; I won't tell you the answer directly. An 'Instigator' must use their own brain more..."

Seeing this, Lu Mian raised his head and looked at Lu Jianuo without saying a word, making this "doctor" suddenly tense his body, with a layer of sweat oozing from his back.

"Is, is there any other problem?" Lu Jianuo asked stutteringly.

Lu Mian leaned back slightly against the back of the chair and said thoughtfully:

"Eliminating pollution can be a separate course in arcane studies. I need to understand the specific situation to give you an answer."

After emphasizing the importance, he asked:

"Have you encountered similar things before? For example, strange baby cries, arcane events involving reproduction, evil arts related to mothers, etc., etc."

Lu Jianuo didn't dare to be negligent, afraid that the pollution not being cleaned up in time would lead to him becoming a person without internal organs.

He carefully and earnestly filtered through his experiences over these years, and not long after, said with some hesitation:

"There is one thing I don't know if it counts..."

It could be seen that he didn't really want to talk about that matter.

"If you don't say it, how do I know if it counts?" Lu Mian didn't care whether it was private or not.

Lu Jianuo paused for a few seconds and cleared his throat:

"Didn't I tell you that I became a Beyonder because I obtained a relic from a friend?"

"Right, did you murder that friend?" Lu Mian asked this deliberately.

Lu Jianuo shook his head repeatedly:

"No, he committed suicide."

"Suicide?" Lu Mian raised an eyebrow, feeling that this matter was a bit interesting.

Lu Jianuo finally made up his mind and said in one breath:

"When I was a bounty hunter, I would use some secret mountain passes in the Daliezh Mountains to smuggle things to make money, and even help some wanted criminals escape the country. Tanko was one of them, but he didn't escape from Intis to Feynapot, but from Feynapot to Intis.

"Later, he found a valley deep in the mountains, cultivated a piece of land, grew grain and vegetables, raised some livestock, and almost didn't associate with others. I would visit him regularly, bringing him salt, sugar, cloth, and other goods, and the remuneration was that he would teach me some arcane knowledge.

"I came out to adventure and be a bounty hunter, certainly not wanting to live an ordinary life. Arcane studies were very attractive to me, and the knowledge Tanko taught could sometimes really come in handy.

"Tanko was sometimes very silent, his temper was foul and hard, like a stone, as if he were repenting for something. Sometimes he was open and talkative, interested in everything.

"Occasionally, he would say that he had turned his back on the mother's teachings and fallen into an evil abyss, so much so that he was becoming less and less like himself, becoming more and more painful. Occasionally, he felt that the church was lying, and the true mother had long since moved away from the real world..."

Speaking of this, Lu Jianuo discovered that Tanko's crazy words were a bit like the philosophy of the God Descent School described by Priest Montserrat.

Was this encounter foreshadowed at the beginning? He inhaled secretly, feeling cold all over his body.

He quickened his speaking speed:

"Late autumn last year, I went to visit Tanko again, drinking his homemade wine and chatting about various things outside the mountains.

"Suddenly, he told me that he could no longer endure himself, who was full of corruption and sin, and couldn't fight against the devil hidden deep in his heart anymore. He wanted to end his life before that devil completely controlled his body, hoping that I would send his relic to the capital of Gaya Province, Tolair, and hand it to the clergy of the 'Mother Earth' Church, preferably a god-favored one.

"I promised him falsely and persuaded him for a long time. He seemed to have given up this plan, but by the next morning, I discovered that he had died in the field where he had just finished harvesting grain. On his body, grain after grain of golden wheat grew, and he, he also grew several female reproductive organs.

"At that moment, I was scared to death, feeling that this was a monster.

"However, you also know that for a bounty hunter, a monster is a good monster as long as it's dead, and it's a source of materials that can be exchanged for money.

"I gathered my courage and searched Tanko's belongings, discovering a golden thing that looked like a grain seed beside him, but it was half a fist big.

"According to the arcane knowledge Tanko taught, I suspected that this was the source of his Beyonder power.

"I hesitated for a long time, thinking about whether to keep the promise from last night and send this relic back to the 'Mother Earth' Church, but in the end, I didn't overcome my greed and ate that thing.

"I am a sinful person; I betrayed my promise. I hope the sunshine can bring me salvation."

Lu Mian listened quietly and laughed:

"Just ate it like that?"

Lu Jianuo gave a sheepish smile:

"Yeah, I only became a Beyonder and entered the arcane circle, and then I knew there was such a thing as a potion formula. At that time, I was really lucky enough to persist and didn't collapse, so I was obsessed with buying formulas afterward, not wanting to experience a similar thing again."

"Indeed lucky. A few years earlier, it would have been very hard for you to persist. In that case, we might have met in the Daliezh Mountains as a monster hunter and a monster." Lu Mian remembered the research results of President "Gandalf" and mocked Lu Jianuo.

At the same time, he muttered in his heart:

"It's really as Emperor Roselle said, the ignorant are fearless... That Tanko clearly had a problem and likely came into contact with evil god worship. The Beyonder characteristic he left behind likely had a certain pollution, and he dared to eat it directly like that..."

"No wonder he encountered people from the God Descent School, would hear the baby's cry, and would be so easily polluted and influenced because of contacting patients like Enio..."

Lu Jianuo asked uneasily:

"Is the root of the problem the 'Planter' material I ate at the beginning?"

This had been eaten for a year, and he had even advanced. Was the problem unsolvable?

Lu Mian ignored Lu Jianuo's pleading gaze, pretended to be thinking seriously, and looked at the last part of Lady Magician's reply:

"I thought of your reminder last time and had certain speculations, but I can't discuss it with you for the time being. I can only tell you that it should be that Amon and the one behind him did something in advance, which led to the Celestial Worthy ignoring the relevant problem.

"In short, this looks beneficial to you and us. For now, you can pretend you didn't see it or think of it, and don't investigate.

"For the problem of being entangled by the baby's cry, you can find the clergy of the 'Mother Earth' Church to solve it."

This... Lady Magician anticipated Lu Jianuo's sequelae in advance? Also, she saw the root of Lu Jianuo's problem... Lu Mian raised his head and said to Lu Jianuo with a smile:

"The way to clear the pollution is to find Priest Montserrat to help."

Uh, I said so much and you only gave this suggestion? If you said there was no way, I would have gone to find that priest to try my luck anyway... Lu Jianuo's mouth twitched, and he piled up a smile:

"Alright, thank you."
