Chapter 759: Harvest Priest

The moment he saw "Penitent" Bayonfer and the pure silver skull head, the "Doll" messenger wearing a pale gold dress floated to Lu Mian's side with a swish, as if confronting those two messengers.

The pure silver skull head, surrounded by darkness, placed a burlap bag it was biting in its mouth onto the desk, then gazed at Lu Mian with eyes burning with pale flames.

"Penitent" Bayonfer dropped a folded letter and returned to the Spirit World silently, disappearing from the room.

Lu Mian had wanted to take this opportunity to chat with his messenger about his past and ask about his relationship with the "True Creator," but in the current situation, he could only suppress the thoughts in his heart for the time being and shift his attention to the pure silver skull.

Lu Mian picked up the burlap bag that looked like a book and took out an aluminum flask from inside.

Behind him, the "Doll" messenger floated over, looking curiously.

Lu Mian unscrewed the cap of the grayish-white flask and saw that it was a golden liquid with a large amount of white foam.

If it weren't for the lack of malt aroma, he would definitely have thought it was actually a flask of beer.

He took a piece of paper from the burlap bag, which was Hela's handwriting, written in Ancient Futhark:

"It is indeed the 'Harvest Priest' potion.

"It needs to be drunk within a quarter of an hour, otherwise you will harvest a flask that can bring a bumper harvest."

Seeing that Lady "Hela" had helped with the appraisal, and there was a notarized contract, Lu Mian immediately took out the remaining 9,000 Gold Risos and 1,000 Gold Risos in banknotes he had just exchanged in the past two days from his "Traveler's Bag."

"This is the balance." Lu Mian put the Gold Risos into the burlap bag and handed it to the skull head that looked like it was made of pure silver.

The pure silver skull bit the burlap bag, merged with the surrounding darkness, and left in a flash.

Only then did Lu Mian turn his head and say to the "Doll" messenger with a smile:

"What is your evaluation?"

The "Doll" messenger "hummed":

"I will surpass them sooner or later!

"I will definitely become the first, no, the second most powerful messenger in this world!"

"Quite ambitious." Lu Mian replied, half-sincerely and half-teasingly.

He wasn't surprised at all by the "Doll" messenger's answer; he had long known about the special nature of "Penitent" Bayonfer and the pure silver skull head.

The "Doll" messenger then threw a gloomy object that looked like a crystal ball but was more illusory toward Lu Mian. Lu Mian caught it easily and found a pitch-black, lustrous bone ring suspended within a bent transparent barrier, with a distorted, painful devil's face carved on the ring surface, and two blurry phantoms in the devil's eyes.

After letting the letter paper folded into a square fall onto the desk surface by itself, the "Doll" messenger also left Lu Mian's room.

It is indeed a sealed artifact made from the "Siso" Beyonder characteristic... Lu Mian couldn't care about confirming the effects and influence of the sealed artifact right now, so he put away the gloomy transparent sphere and the letter paper folded into a square, and opened the letter brought by his own messenger first.

That letter had only a few short sentences:

"'Seven of Wands':

"Do you still remember your promise? We need you to provide some help now.

"If you don't have anything very important recently, please meet us at the following coordinates. At that time, I will tell you the detailed situation.

"……

"'Knight of Swords'."

"Knight of Swords" needs help... Lu Mian suddenly realized.

During the Prayer Sea Ceremony event, he had asked this minor arcana card holder belonging to Lady "Hermit" for help. At that time, the other party didn't ask for a reward, just said that they might go to the South Continent later and might need some help, and he agreed on the spot.

"It just so happens I'm quite free recently." Lu Mian put away the "Knight of Swords'" letter, screwed the cap of the grayish-white flask, and walked out of the room with it.

Lugano was tidying up the plates and cutlery Ludwig had finished eating.

"Your 'Harvest Priest' potion has arrived." Lu Mian said calmly.

Lugano was stunned for a moment, his face full of confusion.

After a few seconds, he pointed at the grayish-white flask in his employer's hand and said:

"It?"

"Yes, it looks much better to drink than the potion of the 'Hunter' pathway." Lu Mian shook the flask with a smile, "You only have ten minutes to decide whether to drink it."

"Ten minutes?" Lugano was startled.

Lu Mian nodded:

"No, eight minutes.

"If you haven't made up your mind within eight minutes, I'll go downstairs, find a stray dog, or catch a mouse, and feed it this potion."

"Don't I need to adjust my physical and mental state?" Lugano's face was full of fear.

This is too casual, right?

This is a potion!

If the physical and mental state isn't right, one will definitely lose control and become a monster, or die on the spot!

"Only seven minutes left." Lu Mian reminded with a smile, "Your state is fine. You just need to relax and remember that you are Ludwig's nanny and family doctor."

"This works too?" Lugano still couldn't believe it.

"Six minutes." Lu Mian reported the time coldly.

"..." Lugano was stunned.

How could time pass so quickly!

He gritted his teeth and said:

"Okay.

"But I need to go to underground Trier to drink it."

"Hmm?" Lu Mian raised an eyebrow.

Lugano explained quickly:

"I feel that standing on the earth with both feet can better help me maintain my state when drinking the potion."

"Earth" pathway... Lu Mian took the grayish-white flask and turned to walk out of the room.

Lugano followed behind him and took out a pile of banknotes from his person:

"This is all my savings, 15,000 Vergold.

"You said before, said you would help me make up the rest."

Lu Mian nodded gently and accepted the 15,000 Vergold without any hesitation.

He currently had 86,000 Vergold, including a small number of gold coins and gold bars.

When they reached the street, Lu Mian walked straight toward the nearest entrance to underground Trier. A stray dog passed by, barking, as if trying to intimidate and deter the two.

Lu Mian laughed and "tested" Lugano:

"Can you understand what it's saying?"

Lugano, whose mind was full of the "Harvest Priest" potion, asked back in astonishment:

"You, can you understand?

"Do you have a magical artifact corresponding to 'Tamer'?"

Lu Mian laughed to himself:

"It said, I just heard you say you were going to feed me a 'Harvest Priest' potion, why haven't you given it to me yet?"

"..." Only then did Lugano understand that his employer was telling a joke.

On second thought, Lugano felt he was being mocked by his employer:

"He is scolding me for being a stray dog in a roundabout way!

"I was indeed thinking about why he hasn't given me the 'Harvest Priest' potion just now..."

Entering underground Trier, Lu Mian familiarly circled to an abandoned tunnel and threw the grayish-white flask to Lugano.

When Lugano scrambled to catch the flask, Lu Mian reminded him coldly:

"Two more minutes."

Lugano took a breath, unscrewed the cap, and saw the potion shaped like beer in the flask.

He began to recall how he took care of and treated Ludwig, forcing his tense spirit to relax slightly.

After dozens of seconds, Lugano took two deep breaths, raised the grayish-white flask, and gulped down the potion.

Lu Mian, who had pinched a ball of scorching white flame as a lighting tool, watched silently, observing the various changes in Lugano's body.

He hadn't forgotten that this "servant" of his had considerable abnormalities; he could even stay awake in the "Dream Festival"!

Lugano's face quickly twisted, as if he had encountered the pain of having his arm bitten off by Ludwig once again.

Lu Mian saw his feet sink into the soil bit by bit. On his exposed skin, the body hair became thicker and longer at a speed visible to the naked eye, his brown hair did the same, and his brown eyes lost focus.

Such changes stopped after reaching a certain degree, and Lugano's expression gradually eased.

Quite smooth... He is quite compatible with the "Planter" pathway... Not sure if this is brought about by his own abnormalities... Lu Mian muttered silently, seeing Lugano's eyes slowly regain clarity and reason.

He asked in a relaxed posture:

"What abilities have you gained?"

Although in the mystical world, asking about the detailed situation of others' supernatural abilities is an unwelcome behavior, who told the person opposite to be his "servant"?

Lugano didn't feel there was any problem with this either. While checking his own situation, he savored the mystical knowledge he had gained:

"The ability in terms of treatment has expanded; I can treat diseases of plants and farmland...

"I can also catalyze seeds, making them grow or reproduce faster.

"This is divided into two situations: First, pressing both hands on the earth can make seeds and plants within a range of about 30 meters grow much faster than normal, or reproduce better, but I can't make them burst out all their life force in tens of seconds or minutes, completing the whole journey from conception to return. Second, directly holding some seeds or plants, completely catalyzing the life they contain.

"The second situation is reflected in that I can create a large number of vines in a very short time, letting them play the role of entangling enemies and controlling enemies."

Hearing this, Lu Mian asked thoughtfully:

"Can completely catalyzing the contained life only act on plants, and cannot be used on humans?"

"No." Lugano shook his head.

Lu Mian continued to ask:

"If you encounter a strange monster that possesses wisdom but is essentially a plant, can you make all its life burst out in a few seconds or ten seconds by direct contact, completing its life?"

"First, I have to be able to touch it..." Lugano indicated that this was very dangerous and not something a Beyonder like him who wasn't specialized in combat could achieve.

He added:

"And I'm not sure if there will be the effect you expected."

Lu Mian nodded imperceptibly, signaling Lugano to continue.

Lugano reorganized his thoughts and said:

"If I can obtain seeds of different kinds of mutated plants, the catalysis ability can play a significant role in combat.

"I can also drive plants and insects within a range of 30 meters, letting them provide corresponding help to me without exceeding their own racial limits. Well, the kind that possesses wisdom won't work.

"I also gained several ritual magics, mainly praying for rain, praying for clear skies."
