Chapter 808: Showing goodwill (Asking for monthly tickets at the beginning of the month)

~11 min read 2,105 words

Amandina? If it were someone else, Franca might not have much impression, but this participant of the "Dream Festival," the girl who could call "Underworld Daoist" a teacher, she still remembered clearly—she summoned the armor ghost Chen Tu later to get more information, perhaps she still needed Amandina to provide certain help.

Thinking of this, Franca reached into the "Traveler's Bag" and counted the gold she had accumulated so far.

Counting the final payment paid by "Someone," a member of the "Curly-Haired Baboons Research Society," she already possessed gold worth 82,000 Felkin, and also had nearly 20,000 Felkin in banknotes. With a little exchange, it was enough to satisfy the requirements of the armor ghost Chen Tu and complete a conversation.

Of course, Franca didn't think about doing this recently:

This is because Lu Mian is in Morora. If she doesn't complete the summoning through the special connection between him and the contract object, even if she already knows the armor ghost is called Chen Tu, Franca is not sure she can definitely summon this ghost from the original world. After all, that might not be the other party's real name, and after being translated by extraordinary languages like Ancient Hermes, it might correspond to other spirit world creatures;

Second, because if there is no demigod present, facing the armor ghost is likely a very dangerous thing.

And Amandina's existence might replace a demigod to a certain extent and deter the armor ghost.

"After Lu Mian returns from Morora, can I summon Chen Tu again?" Franca was both expectant and excited, and also uneasy and fearful. These mixed into a state called "homesickness."

After a while, she exhaled slowly and decided to reply to Amandina on behalf of Lu Mian.

"Well, Lu Mian promised to take Amandina to the area around the 'Samaritan Woman's Spring,' giving her a chance to see the 'Underworld Daoist' outside the 'Dream Festival.'

"This is a good thing for us, but with my current strength, it is still too dangerous, and I am not sure whether the transmigration brought by 'Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun' plus the identity of the 'Tarot Club' Minor Arcana card can help me penetrate the fog sealing the 'Samaritan Woman's Spring'...

"I have to wait for Lu Mian to leave 'Morora' before trying. During this time, I will first show some goodwill to Amandina to lay the foundation for subsequent cooperation... Uh, organize relatively important occult knowledge and give it to Amandina for free. Don't look at the monk's face, look at the Buddha's face. If the 'Underworld Daoist' finds out later that I am so good to His little apprentice, maybe His attitude will be different...

"Also ask Amandina which path of God she wants to take besides the gift power, and help her obtain the potion formula and corresponding materials. This cannot be free. If everything is free, it will make us look too humble, and it will be easy to be looked down upon. If the favor is too great, it will turn into hatred...

"Amandina should only be able to choose from the three paths of 'Darkness,' 'God of Death,' and 'Warrior.' The potion formulas and Beyonder characteristics of the low and middle sequences of the 'Warrior' path are easier to find. For the 'Darkness' path, maybe I can ask Lady 'Judgment' to ask Mr. 'Star' for help. He is suspected to be a high-level member of the Nighthawks team of the 'Evernight Goddess' Church, and he wore red gloves last time...

"It just so happens that I was planning to report the secrets of the Witch Sect told by the 'Black Witch,' and Amandina's matter can also be mentioned by the way, to see which occult knowledge can be told and which cannot be leaked..."

After clearing her thoughts, Franca returned to the bedroom, sat at the desk, and wrote the report.

…………

Southern Continent, Matani Bang, Port Pailos, inside a three-story villa built of white marble.

Amandina, who finally made up her mind to send that letter, became more energetic as the night went on. She paced back and forth in the bedroom, which was styled in a very girlish way, waiting for Lu Mian's reply.

The more occult knowledge and Beyonders she came into contact with, the more she understood how big the gap was between her and Lu Mian, and how ignorant her original self was.

Although she felt that she could continue to live in her current state, forever being an upper-class socialite who was ostensibly normal but actually had certain extraordinary abilities, the things that happened during the "Dream Festival" and the various rumors she had learned from various occult circles during this time still made her feel a sense of crisis and urgency.

Being in the Southern Continent, in an era where various disasters were becoming more and more frequent, relying only on the strength of Sequence 7 "Nightmare" and the current situation where she could only deal with it alone, she was really afraid that one day her whole family would become sacrifices for the blood sacrifice ritual of the "Rose School," and afraid that the problems hidden in the "Dream Festival" would suddenly erupt and swallow her up.

The more she knew, the more she feared.

Amandina felt that she could never return to the ignorant but wanton state of the past, and she also had a strong yearning for higher sequences and more exaggerated strength.

That meant she could do more and see more.

Suddenly, Amandina saw the messenger who looked like a very cool charred corpse walk out of the void and hand her a small dressing mirror.

A mirror? What does Lu Mian Lee mean by giving me a mirror? Amandina was both confused and curious as she took the mirror, feeling that it was ordinary and nothing special.

She was about to ask the "Penitent" Bayonfer when she suddenly found that the surface of the mirror was rippling with dark water light.

As the water light flowed, the dressing mirror gradually lit up, revealing a human figure.

Occult telegram? And it's the kind where you can see the other party and communicate directly? Good, how magical... Amandina didn't notice that the messenger wearing a black cleric robe had already left, her attention was completely attracted by the mirror in her hand.

She immediately found that the figure in the mirror was not Lu Mian Lee, but an unfamiliar woman.

That woman's eyes were lake-colored, both bright and deep, giving people a feeling that there were a thousand words hidden, making people want to explore. Her nose was delicate and straight, the redness of her lips and the tenderness of her skin formed a highly seductive combination, and the eyebrows flying into the temples and the flaxen-colored long hair tied into a ponytail brought a bit of atmosphere.

Good, so beautiful... Amandina was stunned, instinctively praising a few times in her heart.

She herself was also a girl with outstanding appearance, and she had always been very proud of it, but this time, she couldn't produce a single thought of comparison, completely immersed in that beauty she had never seen before.

Her gaze naturally moved down, seeing the smooth and slender neck, and also seeing the shirt collar surrounded by lace flowers.

For some reason, Amandina actually had the impulse to see the whole body of the lady in the mirror, to see how beautiful she could be when she was naked.

She felt that this was not her own problem. If it were Father Cali, who only liked men, he would definitely have similar impulses!

Franca, who used a little "Charm" to improve favorability and facilitate subsequent conversation, was also looking at Amandina.

This girl had black hair like a waterfall and blue eyes, with a youthful atmosphere of freedom and self-blooming.

The women Lu Mian knows are all quite beautiful... Is this the talent of a "Hunter"? Franca curled her lips and smiled brightly across the glass mirror surface:

"Lu Mian has something to do recently and can't get away, so he asked me to communicate with you."

Amandina suddenly came back to her senses, getting rid of the state of being immersed in the other party's beauty.

She looked at Franca in the mirror, curiosity and peeping emotions burning:

"Are you that friend of Lu Mian Lee, um, Mr. Lee? That friend who might need me to provide certain help in the future?"

"Yes." Franca nodded with a smile.

Heh heh, and you say you are not lovers. Such a beautiful lady, even I am moved and want to sleep with her, let alone a man like you who doesn't like men... Amandina felt that she had exposed Lu Mian's lie.

She gathered her waterfall-like black hair and asked with bright eyes:

"I am willing to help you. Can you fulfill your promise?"

"This might still need to wait a while, wait for Lu Mian to finish his current affairs. And, you are not strong enough yet." Franca said concisely, "Besides the gift power, do you want to get promoted through potions? Which of the three paths of 'God of Death,' 'Darkness,' and 'Warrior' do you want to choose?"

Franca spoke quickly because the time the power of the "Ice Amulet" could be maintained was limited.

After asking the question, she suddenly thought of one thing:

It is said that the potions of the "Warrior" path have a significant height-increasing effect. In the later stages, it can even make the taker become a giant...

Uh, letting such a beautiful little girl become a three- or four-meter-tall giant beauty feels strange... Franca didn't know if she was worried or expectant.

Amandina had heard Lu Mian talk about which paths she could take before, and she had also thought about it seriously during this time, and quickly made an answer:

"'Darkness'."

As a girl who had been good at guessing her parents' thoughts since she was a child and was obedient and pleasing in the eyes of her elders, Amandina felt that since the figure in the "Dream Festival" only gave her the power of the "Darkness" path, did not add the "God of Death" power to Robert, and gave the "Warrior" power to some gravekeepers, it meant that the other party might hope she would be purer and focus on the "Darkness" path.

And she also planned to go to that ancient tomb next "Dream Festival" to get more gifts, so naturally, she didn't want to disappoint that figure.

I still want to see what the mixture of the power of the "God of Death" or "Warrior" path and the "Darkness" gift looks like... Franca said sternly:

"I will help you inquire and collect, but you need to pay corresponding money, or complete the tasks I specify."

Amandina was no longer the ignorant girl she used to be, understood the preciousness of potion formulas and extraordinary materials, and nodded:

"Okay."

Franca revealed a smile in the mirror:

"In addition, I am very grateful that you agreed to help. No matter what Lu Mian promised you, I will provide you with an extra piece of occult knowledge, and you don't need to do anything."

"Really?" Amandina was pleasantly surprised.

This beautiful lady is really generous!

And it's not the kind of generosity with traps. Potion formulas and extraordinary materials all have to be paid for.

Franca didn't answer directly, but said with a smile:

"Remember, my name is Franca."

While speaking, she raised her right hand and pushed a stack of paper bound together forward.

In Amandina's eyes, the stack of paper became bigger and bigger, bigger and bigger, and finally penetrated the glass mirror surface and fell into her palm, while Franca's figure in the mirror had disappeared.

Franca... Lu Mian Lee and her are quite a match... Amandina imagined the scene of Lu Mian and Franca together, and suddenly had a bit of romantic thought.

She muttered silently:

"That must be very beautiful, I really want to see it..."

Restraining the scene imagined in her mind, Amandina cast her gaze toward the paper in her hand and swept across a line of words:

"Law of Beyonder Characteristic Convergence..."

This... Amandina was unusually confused and inexplicably shocked.

…………

Morora, late at night.

After the "Carnivore" tavern closed, Lu Mian came out from the back door and saw Gucin wearing a top hat.

Gucin revealed a smile bit by bit:

"I will take you to the place to accept the test now."
