The more Lumian listened, the more he agreed:

He didn't know how the higher sequences would behave, but judging from the few transcendent creatures who had "dealt with", the guy with the swirling mouthparts posed a far less threat to himself than the monster with the shotgun on his back.

Although he has become an extraordinary, and has been greatly improved in melee combat and the use of the environment, it is more of a problem with the contracted monster itself.

First, it did not show strong catch-up ability, second, it lacked the means of long-range attack, and third, its "stealth" ability was not outrageous, and it was completely restrained by the "hunter's" grasp of the surrounding environment and subtle traces.

In addition, it has the common problem of monsters, its IQ is not high, and it is not as intelligent as the shotgun monster, so it simply steps into the enemy's trap.

Taken together, the final result is so predictable that Lumian never thought it would be equivalent to Sequence 7 until today.

He didn't even compare it to the Shotgun Monster, thinking that there was a big gap between them - the Shotgun Monster was strong, and the Mouthpiece Monster was weak.

Ability, Mind, Preparation, Adaptability, Environmental Factors...... There are so many things that can affect the outcome of a fight...... Lumian summed it up in his heart, and asked expectantly and hopelessly:

"Can I directly invoke the power of the 'Contracted One'?"

The lady smiled:

"It's a good way to kill yourself."

She casually explains:

"Theoretically, yes, after all, the power sealed in your body is more than equivalent to Sequence 7.

"But do you think your body can take on that much 'gift', or rather, pollution?

"Of course, if you feel that it is not unacceptable to become a monster, to become a puppet of that being, or to alienate into another creature, then you can also consider trying.

"Tsk, it won't be long before I can see you making your sister into a sacrifice with your own hands."

Lumian's hairs stood on end at the lady's words, and his back was cold, and he didn't dare to think about "leapfrogging promotion" anymore.

He asked cautiously:

"In other words, the greatest gift I can bear right now is 'dancer'?"

"Yes, that's why I waited until I became an extraordinary person and digested it before I told you about it." The lady took another sip of the green liquid in the cup, "Only when your own spirit, spirituality, and body have been greatly improved, can you hope to resist the pollution attached to the 'gift', and then control that power little by little."

"As time goes by, your mental body and mind body have been further strengthened, and your body has adapted to the slight changes brought about by the power of the gift, then consider 'Dervishes'."

For Lumian, the most important thing at the moment is to learn that kind of mysterious dance, to be able to incompletely activate the thorn symbol on his own, thus greatly improving his ability to explore the ruins of dreams, so he no longer thinks about the "dervishes" and "the person who has been contracted", nodded slightly, and asked:

"How do you pray?"

He had already learned the dualistic ritual method, but the name of the object of prayer, the domain to which it belonged, and the corresponding materials were still blank.

"Ahem." The lady couldn't help coughing.

Then, she said solemnly:

"What I'm going to say next, out of my mouth and into your ears, don't tell anyone, or you'll hurt them."

Out of my mouth, into your ears...... This is a sentence that Aurore likes to write...... Has this lady read one of her novels? Lumian solemnly responded:

"Okay."

He thought for a moment and said:

"I don't have to worry about problems when I listen to it?"

The lady took a sip of vermouth ouzo and smiled slightly:

"When did you get the illusion that you didn't have a problem?"

Lumian was stunned for a moment, then looked down at his left chest.

The lady then scoffed:

"You belong to the people who are about to be heavily polluted, but luckily, the imprint of the Great Being has been activated, and the corresponding power has descended on you, sealing the source of pollution and forming a balance.

"And then, you will perform a ritual to confront the power within the seal and pray for the corresponding gifts, which is equivalent to actively enduring a certain amount of pollution.

"So, why are you afraid of a little problem after hearing it?"

The more I listened, the more I felt that it was a big problem...... Lumien wasn't too confident.

The lady shook her head and smiled:

"Don't worry, when I tell you the words, I will definitely provide a sufficiently private environment, very safe protection, and after that, if you want to perform a ceremony, it is better to go to the ruins, where there is a gray mist, and there is the protection of the Great Being, so as not to attract the direct gaze of the One.

"And in the period before the ceremony, you disrupt every link and every sentence of description to consolidate, try not to put it together and think about it completely, otherwise, hehe......"

She laughed and didn't say anything about the outcome, but Lumian could imagine what was going to go wrong.

Seeing that he no longer asked, the lady nodded slightly:

"Let's get started.

"The first part is 'The Power of Fate.'"

"It's enough to use it, it corresponds to your black thorn symbol, the full name of that existence is not something you can understand now, even I, I have to do a good job of secrecy before I dare to think about it."

For some reason, Lumien felt the light around him dim a little, but he wasn't quite sure.

At this time, the lady restrained all her expressions and said solemnly:

"The second part is:

"You are the past, the present, and the future;

"You are the cause, the effect, and the process......"

As the words came out of the woman's mouth, Lumien's head dizzy, and he noticed that there seemed to be a black wind around him.

And the table where his glass of vermouth was kept, the brown surface squirmed like a living force.

Smack.

A black, adult index finger-sized worm emerged from the board, and an evil aura instantly filled the air.

Before Lumian could see the black worm clearly, the cup containing the green liquid in the hand of the lady opposite put it down, directly crushing the strange creature, crushing it into a puddle of flesh.

Then the lady took out a patterned napkin, wiped the bottom of the cup, and wrapped the body of the black worm.

She took another sip of absinthe as if nothing had happened, and emphasized:

"Remember, the first and second parts must be recited in the ancient Hermetic language, as well as the language of giants, dragons, and elves."

In the same way that the first "I" in the ritual of praying to oneself cannot be in Hermes...... Lumian nodded in understanding.

He had always been very bold, but he was still a little flustered and his heart beat faster in the face of the frequent visions that appeared during the conversation, but the mysterious lady acted as if she had only discovered something impurities during the meal, and she continued:

The third section, which is available in Hermes, reads:

"I pray to you,

"Pray for your gifts,

"Pray that you will give me the power of 'dancer'.

"Remember, three sentences are a progressive relationship."

These words did not bring about new changes in the environment, and the original disturbing and frightening anomalies gradually subsided.

Lumien memorized carefully, and as the lady had said, shuffled the order and reversed the notes so that nothing could be wronged.

The lady drank the rest of the vermouth and tasted it with satisfaction:

"The rest is pretty much the same as the usual ritual magic.

"The corresponding materials are gray amber, tulips, cloves, and musk, and you can choose two to make candles, and the remaining two are used as herbs, essential oils, and hydrosols in rituals."

Lumian thought back to the duality ritual he had learned, frowned and asked:

"The position of the gods should be placed with items closely related to the gods, but my thorn symbol is on the chest, so I can't peel off the skin, right? Moreover, I don't think it's useful to peel it off. ”

That power was sealed in his heart and in his spirit.

The lady bowed her head slightly:

"Didn't I tell you to make candles?

"When making candles, take 5 milliliters of blood from your chest, more or less, and it will melt into the material anyway and become part of the candle.

"During the ceremony, that candle is placed in the position of the deity, and only one is placed.

"Because of your blood, the candle is 'awakened' by the ancient Hermetic language, and after becoming a symbol, it will point directly at you, and then cooperate with the description that follows, to stimulate the power that has been sealed in you to a certain extent."

It feels like a special variant of the dualistic ritual method, and Aurel didn't mention that it can be like this, and not many people should know about it...... Lumian pondered for a moment and said:

"Can I use perfume with gray amber?"

He remembered that his sister did, and that she liked to call Grey Amber amber ambergris.

"Yes, use it as an essential oil." The lady nodded.

In this way, the gray amber is found, and the lilac has a ...... in the house Lumian pondered where to get tulips and musk.

He thought about it and thought about it, and only thought that there were three places where there might be:

One is my sister Auror, who is a "wizard", and may have prepared the corresponding materials, the second is the administrator's residence, and the third is the parish priest's house.

Lumian decided to tell his sister about the ritual first, and asked her to teach the corresponding ancient Hermes and Hermes the words that were going to take place, and asked her if she had any of them.

If not, think about something else.

Seeing that the lady was ready to leave, Lumian hurriedly asked:

"What is that 'lizard' that came out of the mouth of the priest of the Copy Hall?"

The lady laughed as she got up:

"I can't explain it to you."

You might as well just say you don't want to tell me...... Lumian managed to control the change in his expression.

When the lady left, he took out the pen and paper he had brought, jotted down the rituals in the wrong order, and numbered them in the correct order.

…………

Out of the old tavern, Lumian searched the village for the three strangers.

It wasn't long before he heard a clanging sound.

Lumian smiled and walked quickly to the other side, and sure enough, he saw Lea with two bells on her veil and two bells on her boots, Ryan in a dark bowler hat, and Valentine with powder on her head.

He wanted to open his arms and shout, "My cabbages, I want to kill you," but he quickly remembered that he hadn't had any contact with the three strangers in this cycle.

Lumian rubbed his face and made himself serious.

Then, he walked towards Ryan and the others, and said in a suppressed voice as he was about to pass by:

"I know who you're looking for."

Ryan, Leah, and Valentine were stunned at the same time, looking at this guy in amazement.

Lumien didn't stop, crossed them and walked forward.

The three strangers glanced at each other, restrained the abnormality of their expressions, and followed casually.
