The Mysterious King

Chapter 33

Gardner Martin was already accustomed to Lumian's frankness and directness. He nodded gently and said,

"If you want to get it quickly, I have three items here that are worth the same value as the 'Werewolf' teeth.

" The first one is The 'Shadow Bracelet' is a magical item that helps you hide in a shadow larger than yourself.

It allows you to summon 'Shadow Servants' with a small number of special abilities, which can activate shadows and allow them to bind the target to a certain extent.

"It is an ominous thing. More than one-third of the people who have used it have gone crazy, and another third suddenly disappeared mysteriously without wearing it and never appeared again. The remaining Many people seem to be fine, but they often say that they suffer from tinnitus, which leads to auditory hallucinations.

“In recent years, no one dares to use this magical item unless it is a special situation. "

Then why did you ask me if I want it? Do you think I look like a madman or a fool? Lumian expressed his doubts with his eyes.

Gardner Martin smiled and simply explained:

"I am one of the few For those who have used the 'Shadow Bracelet' and haven't had any problems, I have a way to weaken its negative effects, but I can only tell you if you choose it. "

When did you have the illusion that there was nothing wrong with you? Lumian held his breath and did not say what was in his heart.

In his opinion, Gardner Martin, who had suffered the "abnormal" pollution from No. 13 Market Avenue, really It’s not necessarily any better than those who went crazy or disappeared mysteriously.

According to Ms. “Magician”’s description of the pollution, the Gardner Martin standing here may not be the same person as the previous Gardner Martin.

Gardner Martin glanced at him, smiled and said: "Actually, you don't need to be so reserved in front of me. This makes you not like a 'person' who has not yet been promoted to Sequence 6. You really want to 'provoke' me. Words, I can only come back with sarcasm. Look, isn’t Albus alive and well?”

“Yes, sir.” "Of course Lumian couldn't tell the other party. Most of the words he forcibly endured were secrets that could not be known to the "Iron Cross".

Gardner Martin left the easy chair and continued: "The second thing is a The extraordinary characteristics left by the 'psychic', do you know what extraordinary characteristics are?"

Lumian replied calmly: "Killing extraordinary creatures can harvest one of the main materials for formulating potions, and killing extraordinary people must also be the same. You can get corresponding things, just like the golden-red transparent ball of 'Iron Hammer' Aite and this 'Werewolf' tooth.

"I think these should be Extraordinary characteristics. They all correspond to a magic potion, so there is no need to collect additional main materials, right?"

Gardner Martin nodded appreciatively: "Yes, your judgment is accurate."

He did not specify. When talking about the "Law of Immortality of Extraordinary Characteristics", it seems that it will involve a lot of secrets, which Lumian cannot know now.

Gardner Martin put his hands behind his back and walked back and forth for a few steps in front of the unlit fireplace:

"Psychic," from its name, you can guess what kind of abilities the magical items made from it will have, of course. What can be obtained depends on the level of the 'craftsman'.

"If nothing else happens, it should be the 'Eye of Death' that disguises itself as a living corpse, endures the corrosion of rot, cold, death and other smells, and finds the weaknesses of undead creatures. Communicate directly with natural spirits and various undead creatures in the real world, and use them to achieve various magical effects. Choose a combination of two or three of them. If you are lucky enough, you can even have all of them.

"Try not to carry this extraordinary characteristic with you, otherwise you will become the target of hatred from the surrounding natural spirits and undead creatures, and you will encounter strange attacks at some point." It

sounds very powerful, but it is different from "being contracted" It's a bit like "people" who rely on other creatures to obtain strength...

Lumian thought for a few seconds and said: "What about the third piece?"

Gardner Martin walked back to the easy chair:

"That is also a share. Extraordinary characteristics, if you carry it, you will find that you become quite lucky, which is reflected in the details of various things.

"The sequence name corresponding to it is 'Lucky One', but you have to remember that lucky carnivals are often It's a sign of disaster, and it may make you see things you shouldn't see. "

Sequence 7 of the "Monster" path? Lumian remembered the contents of Aurore's witchcraft notes.

The "Monster" path is also called the "Destiny" path. It is a path known for its high inspiration and is closely connected with destiny.

Lumian chuckled and said: "The lucky ones eventually turned into extraordinary characteristics?

"This is really a very ironic joke."

Gardner Martin agreed: "Don't underestimate bad luck. , and don't rely on luck, otherwise you will also become extraordinary."

"It's very philosophical." Lumian memorized these words full of experience and lessons.

He carefully recalled Gardner Martin's introduction just now and found that he did not skimp on the corresponding sequence of information.

Just his descriptions of the abilities of "psychics" and "lucky people" are enough to fetch a good price at many occult gatherings.

Gardner Martin pointed to the black and green fangs on the ground again: "It has the extraordinary characteristic of 'werewolf'. After turning into a magical item, it should be able to provide strong self-healing ability, transform into a werewolf, sacrifice sanity in exchange for a short burst, etc. One or several of the effects.

"But you have also seen that 'werewolves' are always affected by the desire to kill and bloodthirsty, and during the full moon or blood moon, there is a hidden danger of losing their mind and being unable to control themselves.

"Have you decided which item to choose now? If you choose extraordinary characteristics, I can help you contact an artisan' and pay the production cost on your behalf. This is the reward you deserve for your contribution tonight." You look

for Is the "artisan" a saint? How would you react if you found out that I was hiding the "Shadow Branch"? Lumian muttered, seriously thinking about which one to choose.

He first ruled out the "Shadow Bracelet", which was suspected to be a magical item from Mr. K's route. In the next few days, there might be similar but better options in the rewards provided by Mr. K. Moreover, the negative impact of the "Shadow Bracelet" It was too dangerous. Even if Gardner Martin claimed that he had a way to weaken it, Lumian did not dare to take the risk.

The main thing is that such a risk doesn't make much sense.

"The Psychic' can make up for my shortcomings, but it doesn't match well with the 'Shadow Branch'. I can't create a magical item with the effect of 'Unresolved Love between Humans and Ghosts'... Well, some of its characteristics are the same as There is a certain overlap in the 'contracted person'...

"The lucky one can make the 'Shadow Branch' always inspire the appropriate desires? The 'werewolf' sacrifices his sanity and is killed, and his bloodthirsty desire affects these two points." The Shadow Branch is also a good match. I wonder what kind of magical items will be produced..."

Lumian thought about it and spent several minutes before making a decision:

If it were anyone else, they could also find ways to reduce the final impact, such as using it in situations where there were only enemies, such as avoiding the full moon or blood moon, but Lumian could not do that. If he lost his mind once, he might be killed by Ter. Mibolus used it to make the seal no longer able to maintain balance. 43

In addition, he himself can be regarded as an extraordinary person in the field of destiny. In the future, if the rank is high, he may be able to indirectly improve the effect of that magical item through the "lucky man" trait.

As for seeing things and things that you shouldn't see, Lumian, who already has "Peeping Glasses", doesn't mind having another similar thing.

Gardner Martin was a little surprised. He originally thought Lumian would choose between the extraordinary characteristics of the "Psychic" and the "Shadow Bracelet".

He quickly returned to normal, without asking further questions, and said with a smile: "Human beings are always obsessed with good luck."

The leader of the Savoyard Party, the "chief" of the "Iron-Blooded Cross", briefly left the living room and walked along the stairs. And up.

A few minutes later, he came back with a clear glass jar originally used to hold candy.

There was a mercury eyeball lying quietly inside the jar, slowly turning left and right as if it were still alive.

"The way to carry it with you and store it is to put it in a small dark space." Gardner Martin said while wrapping the glass jar with black cloth strips.

When he handed the item to Lumian, he gave the last instruction: "Change a jar for it every seven days."

"Thank you, sir." Lumian stuffed the glass jar containing the extraordinary properties of "Lucky Man" into In the trouser pocket.

Gardner Martin didn't wonder why he didn't ask to contact the "craftsman", because the final effect of a magical item is a secret that is known to as few people as possible for the holder. Find the "craftsman" you don't know. More conducive to confidentiality.

Just as these thoughts flashed across his mind, Lumian had already taken the initiative to mention the matter: "Sir, I would like to use the free 'artisans' in exchange for other rewards."

Gardner Martin asked curiously: " What reward do you want?"

Lumian smiled: "Find someone for me."

"Who?" Gardner Martin had a vague guess.

Lumian's expression gradually became serious: "Guillaume Benet."

"You know that I come from the village of Cordu, and I must have seen the wanted notice of the priest.

"I have been tracking him. I want to catch this cultist who brought me disaster. I just received information that he may appear in the Red Princess District next week. I would like to ask, 'sir', for your help to find him. "

Gardner Martin laughed: "I originally thought you wanted to do it by yourself, endure the pain, track alone, and take revenge in secret.

"Yes, I know how to use the power of the organization earlier than I expected. This is also something that 'Hunter' needs to understand.

"I agree to your request. "
