Chapter 758: Farm

After agreeing to use Lady "Hela's" messenger to notify the time, location, password, and method of the real-world gathering, Lu Mian listened quietly to the members of the "Academy" group communicating, occasionally joining the discussion.

With the mystical knowledge he currently possessed, he no longer needed to deliberately restrain himself to avoid exposing his ignorance.

After a while, Lu Mian took the initiative to ask if there was a potion formula and related materials for "Harvest Priest," but received a negative answer.

He turned and walked toward another group near the gate of the ancient palace.

That was called "Farm," an organization of research society members who liked planting and accumulating. Lu Mian had listened in once and found that the content of their daily communication was "How many more acres of land have I bought," "I plan to save money to get a ranch," "My forest farm has had a bumper harvest," "The effect of composting is good," "The Church of the 'Mother Goddess of Earth' has a batch of improved wheat seeds very suitable for planting in places with poor water resources," "My savings have increased again," "Labor makes me happy"...

After that, Lu Mian never listened in again.

Just as he approached the members of "Farm," Lu Mian smelled the scent of long-term dealings with soil, fertilizer, grass, grain, and livestock.

This gave him an indescribable sense of familiarity and relaxation, as if he had returned to Cordu Village, returned to his sister's side.

Lu Mian, whose experience could be called rich, immediately felt a sense of vigilance.

"This... reminds me of life in Cordu Village on one hand, and on the other hand, cultivation, grazing, and harvest-related things resonate with the Omebella bloodline in my body, making me feel close? As expected of the former 'Goddess of Harvest,' as expected of the child of the 'Great Mother'..." Lu Mian quickly figured out the reason.

He discovered that although eating the umbilical cord remains of Omebella didn't bring any changes in strength and ability, apart from attracting the gaze of the "Great Mother," creatures directly created by the "Great Mother" or those who had received her gifts could sense the corresponding bloodline, so it wasn't that there was no impact at all.

A small amount of Omebella's bloodline changed his perception of certain things to a certain extent, indirectly affecting his spirit.

While listening to the members of the "Farm" group discussing, Lu Mian carefully observed the situation of each of them.

Although only specific creatures without necessary wisdom would mistake him for the child of the "Great Mother," as long as they had received the "Great Mother's" gifts or were people directly created by the "Great Mother," they could sense the Omebella bloodline on him, just wouldn't mistake his identity.

This could help Lu Mian determine whether they had secretly believed in the "Great Mother" through the abnormal reactions that might appear in those members of the "Farm" group.

After a few minutes, Lu Mian preliminarily confirmed that there were no problems with the members of the "Curly-Haired Baboons Research Society" in this area.

Only then did he imitate Aurora's state when she lowered her voice, looked around, and said:

"Who among you has the potion formula or related materials for 'Harvest Priest'?

"If you are unwilling to leak the formula, you can directly sell me the prepared 'Harvest Priest' potion."

"'Muggle,' I remember you are a 'Wizard'." A member of the "Farm" group called "Breeding Master" asked in confusion.

He was relatively tall, had a rough and wild temperament, and wore a mask made of animal fur that felt very primitive.

"I have a friend who needs it." Lu Mian laughed, "And I want to earn some price difference while providing help."

"Breeding Master" asked further:

"You should be very clear that the prepared potion must be drunk within a short time, otherwise it will be absorbed by the container and become a sealed artifact with very strong negative effects. Moreover, the method of transaction should also be through Lady 'Hela's' messenger, right? That itself will delay a certain amount of time, so you must ensure it's drunk as soon as it's received.

"Is there no problem?"

Lady "Hela's" messenger is really busy... Lu Mian joked in his heart:

"No."

After inquiring and observing, he was sure that Lugano's "Physician" potion had been completely digested.

This is a "Physician" who has treated angels and fake angels!

—After Ludwig was beaten to a pulp by "Loki," it was Lugano who handled and treated the wounds, and Lu Mian himself had also received Lugano's treatment many times.

"Breeding Master" thought for a while and said:

"20,000 Gold Risos for the prepared 'Harvest Priest' potion.

"This is more expensive than buying the related materials for the 'Harvest Priest' potion separately, but we still have to respect intellectual property rights. Normally, I should sell it for 30,000 to 35,000 Gold Risos. Who told us all to be members of the research society?"

Almost 40,000 Vergold, that's fine... Lu Mian nodded gently:

"No problem."

He originally had 19,000 Gold Risos in banknotes and gold coins on him, so he directly prepaid 10,000 and agreed to pay the balance after receiving the potion.

For this, they found "007" from the "Temple" group to notarize.

"Happy transaction." "Breeding Master," having collected the deposit, smiled at "Muggle."

He turned and said to other members of the "Farm" group:

"Have money to do experiments again!

"I've been studying those mushrooms created by the legendary Druid Frank Lee recently. I think his philosophy is very interesting and worth following up.

"Since there are so many supernatural creatures in this world, well, including Beyonders, why can't we fuse the blood, meat, milk of supernatural creatures with ordinary plants? Whether it's hybridization or genetic modification, with the help of mystical power, it can be realized relatively easily, and then after many generations of reproduction, the traits can be stabilized. In this way, we have plants that don't contain Beyonder characteristics but possess certain magical effects..."

As Lu Mian listened, he suddenly felt a strange sense of unease.

He didn't have this feeling when the "Purgatory" group discussed death-related issues!

He first heard the name Frank Lee in the dream Cordu Village. Official Beyonder Ryan said there was a saying circulating at sea: "Better to encounter those pirate generals or even kings than to meet a person named Frank Lee."

Later, Lu Mian arrived at sea but hadn't heard any rumors related to Frank Lee, and he didn't know if Ryan was exaggerating in the dream or if those who knew Frank Lee's deeds didn't dare or were unwilling to mention it again.

"Temple" group.

Franca cast her gaze toward the member nicknamed "Someone" and asked with a smile:

"Weren't you looking for the Beyonder characteristic of the 'Thief' pathway Sequence 5 'Dream Stealer' before? Do you still need it now? A friend of mine just got one.

"If you don't want it, I'll go find a 'Craftsman' to make a magical artifact with that Beyonder characteristic."

"Someone," wearing an eye-patch-style black half-face mask, looked Franca up and down a few times:

"The friend you mentioned doesn't seem to be yourself.

"I don't need it anymore, but I don't mind getting another one.

"One price, 5,000 pounds."

Approximately 120,000 Vergold... Franca chuckled:

"200,000 Vergold, not a penny less."

"Someone" converted it and said:

"150,000 Vergold at most, if not, forget it."

Franca thought for a few seconds and said:

"You can pay in two installments. Pay the first installment now, 120,000 Vergold, and pay the second installment within three months after you get the Beyonder characteristic, 60,000, guaranteed by '007's' notarization."

"Someone" pondered for a moment and asked back with a smile:

"Aren't you worried that I'll default after getting the Beyonder characteristic?

"'Notary's' 'notarization' is not without ways to bypass. You must remember, I used to be a well-known 'Swindler'."

Franca smiled:

"Compared to 'Bard,' who is more powerful?"

"Someone" was silent for a moment.

"'Bard' has already been cleaned up by me and my companions. Unless you are willing to give up such a very useful trading platform for 60,000 Vergold, I don't have to worry about you defaulting at all. Your Beyonder characteristic is also very valuable." Franca, who had been in a gang, said the threatening words as if she were chatting about what was for dinner today.

"It won't be long before I'm more powerful than him." After a few seconds, "Someone" responded simply, "Deal!"

"No rush." Franca smiled, "The balance must be paid in gold."

…………

In the next few days, Lu Mian had nothing to do and had been wandering around Trier, tracking down several "Mirror People" according to the information provided by "007," searching for Harrison's tracks.

He should have gone to Mr. K to receive his reward, but he always had some resistance in his heart and kept procrastinating.

Franca completed the transaction with "Someone" from the "Temple" group and received a down payment of 5,000 pounds consisting of banknotes and gold coins.

At the same time, she also gave Jenna 15,000 Vergold in banknotes, agreeing that the balance from "Someone," which was the gold worth 60,000 Vergold, would all belong to her.

Jenna lost the "Dream Stealer" Beyonder characteristic but also paid off the 45,000 Vergold she owed Franca. Now she had a total of 16,000 Vergold plus Ruen gold pounds worth 120,000 Vergold.

She had never been so wealthy.

She had always known that potion formulas and Beyonder characteristics were very valuable, and even knew their approximate price range, but she had never paid the full price at once, nor had she really sold them. Only now did she experience the feeling of making money like "Pirate Hunter" Gehrman Sparrow.

This evening, just as Lu Mian returned to the rented apartment from outside and was about to change his clothes and muster the courage to find Mr. K, he saw the light of the wall lamp in the room instantly stained with colors like gloomy green and pale.

They were mixed together, extremely weird.

Then, Lu Mian saw his messenger, the mummy-like "Penitent" wearing a black clerical robe, walk out of the void.

Almost at the same time, Lady "Hela's" messenger, a skull head that looked like it was crafted from pure silver, also appeared with a patch of darkness.

Immediately after, the figure of the "Doll" messenger was quickly outlined.

Lu Mian was a bit stunned:

Will the messengers fight?

I have three letters?

One should be the "Harvest Priest" potion, one is highly likely to be a sealed artifact made from the "Siso" Beyonder characteristic, and what about the third one?
