Chapter 740: Original Arrangement

"Magician" said "Hmm":

"No problem, I can understand your urgency. I will come to take you there after I confirm the time with Mr. 'Hanged Man'."

Lu Mi was silent for a moment:

"Thank you."

"Magician" lady thought for a while and specifically exhorted:

"But don't be too urgent. Roselle the Great once said that if you are too urgent, you will not achieve your goal.

"This is not only because urgency will blind your eyes, affect your judgment, and lead you to make wrong choices in many things, but also because there are requirements for your own mental state when taking the potion to advance. You should be very clear about this."

"I understand." Lu Mi exhaled.

"Magician" lady looked left and right and made a joke:

"You were really tense just now. We talked for so long, and you didn't remember to ask me to sit down.

"Hmm, the vortex of the 'Truth Academy' clearly involves higher-level power. Next, we will take over the follow-up investigation. Your main task is to find out the several more important 'Mirror People' according to Mo Lan Avini's confession. I suspect that certain things in that special mirror world are an important part of the vortex.

"This time, you have obtained very key information again. We Great Arcana cards will not be stingy with rewards, of course, it is for your team, not directly to you personally. How to distribute it is your own business."

Hearing that sentence, Lu Mi suddenly felt dazed and whispered to himself:

"Again...

"Is this also a gift of fate?"

"I can't say for sure that it isn't." "Magician" lady smiled self-deprecatingly, "Your psychological situation and mental state are better than I expected, not to the point of needing treatment again, but you seem to suffer from a post-traumatic stress disorder called 'Gifts of Fate,' seeing everything as an arrangement, seeing everything as a gift of fate."

Without waiting for Lu Mi to respond, she added:

"This is actually not a problem, being vigilant enough is a good thing, but don't put too much pressure on yourself because of this. The spirit is like rubber, it will break if it is too tight. You can be vigilant about details, but the state should be relaxed. Think about it, anyway, you can't resist the arrangement in the true sense, why make yourself unable to sleep, unable to eat, and more and more neurotic?"

"Hmm." Lu Mi had to admit that "Magician" lady's words made a lot of sense.

"Magician" was satisfied with his ability to self-regulate his state:

"Of course, once you find an arrangement with a big problem, remember to inform me immediately by chanting the honorific name.

"For this reward, I will put the Sequence 4 potion formula of the 'Hunter' pathway in, to facilitate your purposeful acquisition of items when exploring the 'Blue Avenger' ship. As for what the rewards for 'Cup 2,' 'Cup 7,' and 'Sword 4' are, I don't know either, mainly depending on what 'Judgment' and 'Hermit' will take out."

For this arrangement, Lu Mi had no opinion. Even if "Magician" lady didn't mention it, or thought that the information related to the vortex and "Mirror People" was not yet worth the demigod-level potion formula, he would take the initiative to request the other party to give it first, and make up for the missing contribution later.

As his state calmed down a lot, Lu Mi thought of a question:

"Lady, Mr. K of the 'Aurora Society' has already told my contribution in front of the statue of the 'True Creator,' requesting Him to list me as a candidate messenger. When a formal messenger suffers a disaster, I will be the first candidate to replace the other party. Do I really have to be a certain Mr. of the 'Aurora Society' then?

"In addition, Mr. K also promised to give material rewards in the next few days."

"Magician" nodded lightly:

"The organizational structure of the 'Aurora Society' is also quite strange. Although there are direct saints above the messengers, most messengers can directly hear the voice of that person, the whispers of that person, and the instructions of that person, so they have strong autonomy. Hmm, they will still listen to the orders of the direct saints in most things and report to the other party, but there are a few things that are completely bypassed by the superiors, and recommending candidate messengers is one of them.

"God's messenger can only come from divine revelation."

After sighing with emotion for a few sentences, the "Magician" laughed and said:

"As long as there is no big problem after screening, accept the material rewards. You have received enough gifts, and a little more won't have any substantial change.

"I think the matter of serving as a messenger will not happen. The messengers of the 'Aurora Society' have fixed preaching areas, which is not as good as letting you run around, triggering various evil god hidden dangers, which can better help you digest the potion, uh..."

Speaking of this, "Magician"'s expression gradually became strange.

Lu Mi didn't rush to ask, waiting for this holder of the Great Arcana card to take the initiative to explain.

After a few seconds, "Magician" maintained that expression and said hesitantly:

"Perhaps, the original arrangement was to let you be a certain Mr. for a period of time.

"The Sequence 4 of the 'Hunter' pathway is called 'Iron-Blooded Knight,' which can make all takers become men. Its ritual requirement is 'to form a team of at least thirty people, after long-term training, let them understand your meaning according to your eyes and actions, and be almost one with each other. The higher the strength and tacit understanding of the team, the better the effect of the ritual.' Think about it, what is the most significant feature of the 'Aurora Society'? It is fanaticism.

"After you serve as a certain Mr., you will inevitably have your own jurisdiction and a large number of subordinates. They are all very fanatical and will completely obey the orders of you, the messenger of the god, and listen to your command. As long as you train them a little, you can achieve the requirements of the ritual. The only thing you need to worry about is how to improve their strength and tacit understanding as much as possible, so that the effect of the ritual is better."

This... The original arrangement was to let me become a messenger after I finished digesting the 'Reaper' potion, and let me form a team that meets the ritual in the shortest time? Now how should I complete this ritual? Fu Lan Ka and the others are no problem, but the number is too small... Lu Mi couldn't help but frown.

"Magician" lady saw this and laughed:

"The Church of Knowledge, which knows the 'Hunter' pathway very well, provides another choice.

"Of course, provided that you can tame Ludwig, the angel status can offset most of the requirements on quantity."

"Angel status?" Lu Mi finally got information about Ludwig's strength level from "Magician" lady.

"Yes." "Magician" lady didn't explain too much.

Tame Ludwig? I can only "bribe" him now, simply command him... Lu Mi fell into deep thought.

"Magician" lady looked at him and said:

"You can wait until you digest the 'Reaper' potion, go to the 'City of Exile' Morora, and then consider which method to use to satisfy the ritual requirements.

"Hmm, we will communicate the follow-up of the vortex through letters."

Lu Mi nodded and watched "Magician" lady disappear out of thin air in front of him.

Looking at the dark boundaries that gradually unfolded, he closed his eyes and recalled everything he saw and heard today.

His hands clenched unconsciously, and scorching white flames jumped out from the center of his fist, burning violently.

Jianna sat on the single sofa in the living room, waiting quietly for Lu Mi to open the door and come out, while in her ears was the sound of biting and chewing coming from the restaurant.

Lu Mi carried the bottle of absinthe that hadn't been finished, walked into the balcony, sat on the chair, and took a gulp.

Jianna walked to his side lightly, observed him for a few seconds, and said:

"Your state is much better."

"Can you see this too?" Lu Mi didn't turn his head and said casually.

Jianna pulled a chair and sat down, sneering:

"You are now silent and introverted, which makes me feel more at ease than your previous excited and talkative performance."

Lu Mi looked at the dark night outside the balcony and didn't speak for a long time. Jianna didn't ask any questions either.

Suddenly, Lu Mi said in a low voice:

"I saw that lizard-like little elf."

Jianna had heard him talk about some things in Kordu Village and understood what this represented. She said with a little shock:

"Didn't you go to the 'Aurora Society' to see Mr. K? How could... is that lizard-like little elf related to the 'Aurora Society'?"

"From the one they worship." Lu Mi's voice seemed to be squeezed out from his throat and from the depths of the darkness.

"No wonder..." Jianna suddenly understood Lu Mi's previous state, "'Judgment' lady said, the one worshipped by the 'Aurora Society' and Mr. 'Fool' are close in status..."

That is not something mortals can look at directly, let alone take revenge on Him!

After a short silence, Jianna realized:

"You just went to see 'Magician' lady?"

"After drinking the 'Witch' potion, your brain has grown a lot." Lu Mi turned his head and looked at Jianna.

"Can't you 'Hunters' speak properly?" Jianna couldn't help but retort.

She paused and said again:

"What did 'Magician' lady say?"

"Said to endure for now, wait until Mr. 'Fool' initially wakes up before considering how to follow up." Lu Mi answered simply.

Jianna said "Hmm," and didn't know what else to say for a moment.

After a while, she stood up, went to the restaurant next to Ludwig to get a wine glass to the balcony, then snatched the bottle of absinthe from Lu Mi's hand, and poured one-third of a glass for herself.

Gulp, Jianna just took a sip of the green liquid flashing with dreamlike luster, and her face instinctively wrinkled.

"Cough cough, why do you people like to drink absinthe? This is too hard to drink!" As a former "flamboyant woman," Jianna had drunk a lot of wine, but still couldn't accept the taste of absinthe.

Lu Mi made a sneering sound and didn't explain.

Jianna chatted casually:

"I read a book before, there was a writer, can't remember the name, he said, people who like to drink absinthe, some use it to pretend they have experience, some use it to savor their experience..."

Lu Mi listened quietly, picked up the wine bottle, and took another gulp.

The wine liquid with a slight burning sensation slid down his throat, leaving behind a familiar bitterness.
