Chapter 845

Seeing the substantial fear revealed in Ludwig's eyes, Lu Mian lowered his head to examine himself and discovered the plain white robe with brass threads.

He laughed instantly and said to his godson:

"Don't be afraid, there's no exam, and no learning."

Ludwig's eyes lit up, and his expression gradually relaxed.

Just a moment ago, he thought his godfather had joined the Church of the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom," and he felt the sky was about to collapse.

Lu Mian looked at Lugano, who was standing up in a hurry, took out the stomach of the former boss of the "Carnivore" bar from the "Traveler's Bag," and threw it to Ludwig:

"This is a gift I brought for you."

After completing the Morora trip, Lu Mian was no longer affected by the promise and could obtain divinity, so he decided to accelerate the progress of cultivating the Hunter team. In this team, Ludwig was the top priority.

One of the arrangements for taming this sealed angel was to bestow favors.

Ludwig's expression became extremely brilliant instantly, as if he had come from the abyss to heaven in an instant.

He was so excited that he wanted to eat the stomach of the "Depriver" raw on the spot.

Lu Mian rubbed his temples and urged:

"This is infected with occult pathogens. You'd better handle it to avoid the disease spreading out."

"Occult pathogens..." Lugano was startled and instinctively distanced himself from Ludwig.

As a professional "Physician," he opened his "Spirit Vision" and stared at the stomach for two seconds before truly discovering traces of the disease.

Ludwig took a bite of the stomach area and said vaguely:

"Eat it into the belly, and the disease won't spread out."

"Then what about you?" Lu Mian asked amusedly.

"At most, the stomach will be uncomfortable for a quarter of an hour or two." Ludwig answered indifferently.

Then I won't purify the food in the "Traveler's Bag"? Anyway, nothing big will happen if you eat it... Lu Mian muttered a sentence and turned to walk toward his bedroom.

After Ludwig tore off two bites of food, he raised his head in the midst of his busy schedule, hesitated, and said:

"Thank you, thank you, Godfather."

Lu Mian revealed a smile and nodded with satisfaction:

"Not bad, great progress in politeness."

Ludwig suddenly shivered.

The tone of his godfather's voice and the expression on his face now were very similar to those people he feared the most.

His teachers!

Lu Mian didn't say anything more, entered the bedroom, spread out letter paper, wrote down the highlights of the Morora trip, and detailed the problems he had encountered.

Then, he summoned the "Doll" messenger and handed over this letter along with the "Traveler's Bag."

The "Doll" messenger picked up the "Traveler's Bag" with two fingers in disgust, complaining in her tone:

"Don't stuff everything into it!"

"Too dirty! Too dirty! It's just a trash can now!"

Lu Mian laughed sheepishly:

"There's no other way."

You can't expect me to carry those Sealed Artifacts directly, right?

If their negative effects stack up, I might die on the spot.

After sending off the "Doll" messenger, Lu Mian didn't even tidy up the desk that had become an altar and collapsed onto the bed, closing his eyes and letting his body relax.

In Morora, he not only had to stay up late to read but also couldn't sleep peacefully. After all, a crazy "Witch" lived next door, and other enemies could attack him at any time, which caused his spirit to be tense all the time, and his heart was always in a state of vigilance.

Now, he finally obtained the long-lost sense of security.

Lu Mian fell asleep quickly, sleeping soundly. By the time he woke up, it was already six o'clock in the morning of a new day.

"Phew, refreshed, comfortable." Lu Mian turned over and sat up, stretched, and saw his "Traveler's Bag" and a reply letter placed on the desk.

"The messenger came, and I didn't even wake up... This shows that I still trust her quite a bit..." Lu Mian muttered a sentence and walked to the desk, pulling open the curtains.

With the light of the morning glow, he sat down and read the reply letter from Ms. "Magician":

"For now, leaving a brand to become an agent is enough. Leave other things for later. In short, regarding the matter of '0—01,' you have at least taken a step ahead of the Demoness Sect and the 'Red Angel'."

"But a thing cannot only have advantages without disadvantages. This marks your formal entry into the stage of competing for the 'Red Priest' godhood. You will receive more gazes and face more dangers. Previously, the Demoness Sect might have regarded you as a partner for cooperation, and the Red Angel might have considered using you. Now, clearing you out as soon as possible to make the position of '0—01' agent vacant will be an option they practically consider."

"You must also remind 'Cup of Seven' to be careful about this point, lest she be used by the Demoness Sect by accident."

"Of course, because the Demoness Sect and the 'Red Angel' also have some gains, each leaving a bit of blood on '0—01,' the urgency of targeting you immediately is not that high."

"Regarding the 'Pustule Severed Hand,' because there were far-reaching disasters in the Fourth, Third, and Second Epochs, many folk legends failed to be passed down. And the 'Pustule Severed Hand' has high-level contamination suspected to originate from that 'Great Mother,' which makes us unable to divine directly and must take some indirect means, making it difficult to obtain the most effective information. Therefore, we haven't figured out when the relevant legends first appeared, only confirming that they existed in the early Fifth Epoch."

"From the appearance and state you described, we reasonably suspect that the 'Pustule Severed Hand' was a vampire at the angel level before it died. And from the news coming from within the Blood Clan, one of the three great dukes of the Blood Clan, the ancient powerhouse born in the Second Epoch, 'Duke of Full Moon' Olmer, has no memory of such a clansman."

"You must know that an angel of Sequence 2 is equivalent to a duke of the Blood Clan. Even in the long history of the Blood Clan, the number of dukes that have appeared is quite limited, and there is no possibility that they don't know or remember each other."

"The new Silver City is currently searching for possible clues from historical classics related to Omebella. Once there are gains, I will inform you."

The severed-hand brother isn't of the Blood Clan. No wonder Ms. "Magician" called Him a vampire. Hmm, a high-level being of the "Moon" pathway isn't equal to the Blood Clan, just like those "Primordial Moon" believers of the "Rose School" are never recognized as Blood Clan; they are all called man-made vampires... Lu Mian leaned back in his chair and continued to read the subsequent content:

"You can also try to inquire about the 'Aurora Order.' The secrets mastered by the one they worship are second to none, even among true gods."

"According to my divination results, Albus Medici is not dead yet. His ancestor, that 'Red Angel,' after entering Trier in the Fourth Epoch with the help of the Hostel Project, might have reached a certain tacit understanding with one or some of the people in the special Mirror World, which made Albus's danger of escaping Morora with the help of the special Mirror World decrease quite a bit."

"Don't regret it. This is a good thing. At least we already know that the 'Red Angel' and the powerhouses in the special Mirror World might cooperate on certain matters."

"That Grade 1 Sealed Artifact is called 'Black Tear,' which was transformed from the tears shed by a 'Despair Witch' after her death, fusing her Beyonder characteristic."

"'Black Tear' will continuously create the kind of occult pathogen you were infected with, letting them spread to the surroundings without stopping."

"Wearing 'Black Tear' will significantly improve your charm and make you a bit more feminine, but it won't cause you to change gender."

"'Black Tear' can help you master a portion of mirror magic, including transmitting information with the help of the Mirror World, shuttling through mirrors, mirror illusions, etc."

"It can also make your 'Reaping' more lethal, letting you pour all your power into one 'Reaping'."

"In places with a special Mirror World, 'Black Tear' can also let you initially utilize the corresponding special nature and power."

"The above are the effects. The negative influences are:"

"The wearer themselves will also be infected by that kind of occult pathogen. 'Painful Witches' receive lower influence and have stronger resistance;"

"The wearer will intermittently experience 'Pleasure,' once every 45 to 90 seconds;"

"Even if it's just carried, it will make you more emotional and easier to be moved and persuaded;"

"Possessing 'Black Tear' also has a certain possibility of encountering unwanted love. This is based on the curse before that 'Despair Witch' died."

Seeing this, Lu Mian couldn't help but raise his eyebrows:

This Sealed Artifact seems more like it should appear in forbidden books like "The Monk Chasing the Dog."

"Pleasure" once every 45 to 90 seconds is a big problem in battle!

Franca can't use it either, unless it's a quick battle. But the infection of occult "disease" takes time. Hmm, for now, it can only be treated as an infinite "Mirror Buckle," seal it up immediately after using it once... Lu Mian pondered for a while and looked at the sealing method provided by Ms. "Magician":

"The most universal plan is to find a Sealed Artifact of the 'Sun' pathway, the kind that can continuously purify the surrounding area, and put it together with 'Black Tear.' As for how to reduce the negative influence of that 'Sun' pathway Sealed Artifact, that's another matter."

"The simplest but most demanding plan is to put 'Black Tear' into a mirror, letting its occult pathogens only affect that area behind the mirror. Rest assured, occult pathogens cannot complete mirror shuttling, and 'disease' cannot spread out. The problem is, if you don't have other items that can utilize the Mirror World, you won't be able to take it out once you put it in. And if the mirror sealing 'Black Tear' shatters, it will be completely lost in the Mirror World, wandering to who knows where."

"The most customized plan is that I have helped you isolate a space in the 'Traveler's Bag' that is not connected to other areas. You just need to throw a ball of fire that can burn continuously for more than half an hour into it regularly to incinerate the occult pathogens."

"Other things in the 'Traveler's Bag' have already been purified for you, so don't worry about infection."

Lu Mian read the reply letter and let out a long sigh of relief.

This is the welfare of the "Tarot Club"!

After burning the letter paper, he checked the "Traveler's Bag," confirming that the "Painful Witch" characteristic precipitated by Celeste was a beautiful eye. It, along with the corpse chunks, was also stuffed into the independent space storing "Black Tear." If he wanted to use it later, he would need to purify or "disinfect" it in advance.

After hanging up the "Traveler's Bag," Lu Mian walked toward the full-length mirror in the room.
