Chapter 91: Palms
Near the underground of the arcade street of the opera theater.
The man dressed as a wizard said to Franka in a sharp voice:
"It's very simple, there are only three specific terms, one is that you promise to go to the deep valley to mine the stone field and blow up the secret door of the secret cave to create a movement that can attract everyone around, the second is that I will pay you a fee of 50,000 for this, and 20,000 in advance, and the third is what punishment you should be punished for failing to fulfill your commitment, which is the same for both parties, and the details can be discussed."
The man had no intention of defrauding the two extraordinary people in the contract, but was ready to use his ability to modify the contents of the mission at the moment the contract was formed, so that the other party had to sneak into the secret cave in the deep valley quarry and come up with what he wanted and enough evidence.
The client had once bought a human soul for 1,000 gold with his unique ability to tamper with the terms of the transaction.

He was sure that he would not let himself down this time.
Watching Franka communicate with the man dressed as a wizard, the shadowy Jana reached into the small purse, rubbing the gold, silver and copper coins inside aimlessly.
She was sure that there was no stamp in the purse.
Or rather, there is no such thing as a seal in Franka!"
What does she mean exactly? Jane's eyes fell on the client who had told her the terms of the contract, and she felt that it was quite strange.
To make a deal, why don't you apply for a notarial certificate at the mystical gathering that has just begun?
If you are afraid that the content of the commission will be known, then you can go to the "negotiation room" and borrow the host's magical items, and you don't have to follow quietly and entrust halfway!
There's definitely a problem with that!
As soon as she thought about this, she understood what Franka meant by throwing the money bag to herself:
As soon as you find that the situation is not right, immediately use the "Ring of Punishment" to surprise the other party and control the scene!
Call...... Jianna exhaled slowly, and while feeling out the "Ring of Punishment" and putting it on, she used the shadow to narrow the distance between herself and the client a little closer.
Franka glanced at the shadow that the stone lamp did not shine, and smiled and said to the client dressed as a wizard:
"It sounds reasonable, but I need to make sure if you're lying or not."
As she spoke, she gently tossed the electrostatic lamp in her hand in front of her, then took out a mirror from the pocket of the assassin's suit, and said with a smile:
"Well, I'm good at divination."

Hearing this, the pupils of the client dressed as a wizard dilated instantly, and the whole thing became abnormally tense.
He wasn't sure if the mirror divination "could expose his scheming!"
Hidden in the shadows, Anna noticed his abnormality, and unhesitantly, unusually decisively, slightly raised her right hand, causing the iron rings full of tiny spikes to shimmer.
At the same time, it was as if two blinding bolts of lightning were shooting out of her eyes.
"Psychic piercing"!
The place where the "Samarian Women's Spring" is located.
Once again, Lumien and "Hela" were shaken by the horrible thought, infected by pure madness, and froze in place, trembling slightly.
This makes it difficult for them to move bullets, and at the same time, it also "helps" them to shake off the state of being more and more approaching death, and their cold bodies appear to be as hot as fire, and their silent thoughts are like boiling water, and they are violent and tyrannical.
Of course, the purple-red corpses on their bodies and the rotten skin in several places have not eased and are still aggravating.
The deep darkness descended again, and "Hela" reluctantly used the black diamond ring in her right hand to appease the figures that had risen and fallen in the "Samaria Woman's Spring", including the burning "giant" in his torn armor and many rotten.
Lumien regains a bit of thought and realizes that his escape with "Hela" has not been useless:
They were already more than ten meters away from the spring, and none of the decaying and gloomy figures could get out of the "Samarian Woman's Spring" and climb ashore, so they could not grab their legs and feet and drag them underwater.
These figures were hollowly pressed against the springs, or their highly rotten or twisted palms sometimes poked out of the water, sometimes forcibly pulled back by an inexplicable force.
They roared silently, causing the whole slope to shake, causing Lumien and "Hela" to either swell up or give in, all sorts of bad reactions.
But this was again ignited by the madness of the two people's minds and the abnormal effect of making them appear like a split personality, and it did not work very well.

Around the "Samarian Women's Spring", only the wandering female figure and the long black hair like aquatic plants could approach Lumian, one reflecting his figure with his eyes, and the other extending and trying to wrap around.
This situation made Lumian surprised for a while, and he felt that even if he failed to resist, he was dragged to the "Samarian Woman's Spring" by his long black hair and the vague figure of a suspected high-ranking witch, and when he had ten meters to move, he had every chance to pick up the pale spring water and the terrifying figure with iron and red eyes, and bring him back to the dark and secluded hole.
At that time, Lumian would be able to run outside for a short distance, and in two or three times he would be able to get out of the gray and white mist-shrouded area and return to the burial chamber above.
After that, he would send "Hela" in, and he would wait outside for the other party to collect the water of the "Samarian Women's Spring" to avoid the abnormal reaction brought by the blood mine, and to avoid the huge figure that was clearly stronger than the other "water spirits".
In the next second, Lumian felt his body become unusually stiff, and it was a frozen experience.
White frost continued to emerge from his body, and it continued to withhold and dissolve.
In the blue eyes of the female figure, Lumien was already covered in ice.
The long black hair immediately circled around him, dragging him towards the "Samarian Woman's Spring" and "Hela" saw the blurred figure in the white robe and the long black hair facing Lumian at the same time, and he was almost unaffected by this, and immediately aimed the pure black diamond ring that kept pouring out of his right hand at the unknown existence of the suspected high-ranking witch remnant.
"Night" turned into a curtain, enveloping the other party and forcing her to fall asleep.
Lumien took the opportunity to "snort", causing the white streamer from his nose to pass through the crystalline ice and land on the black hair like aquatic plants.
The black hair that wrapped around him fell suddenly, as if he had lost his strength for a short time.
Almost at the same time, the "curtain of the night" that had become physical suddenly shrunk, and there was nothing inside.
Not far away, a holy and hollow female figure in a white robe appeared again, looking at Lumian again.
Although he was not completely out of danger, Lumien was happy in his heart, and after the attack that had just begun, he felt that even if he gave up now, he could catch the pale spring water and shrink back to the depths of the spring
At this moment, the iron eyes of the huge figure floating in the spring water became more and more crazy, and the red color of the tremor's tremor.

He tugged at the spring like an iron chain restraining him.
Finally, in the midst of the seismic movement, the figure wearing the tattered blood-stained armor and burning the invisible flame walked to the edge of the "Samarian Women's Spring".
Rumble!
The whole earth seemed to tremble, and gray dust fell high above.
Lu Mian's brain buzzed, and he lost consciousness for a moment.
When he recovered from the blackened blank state in front of him, he found that he had crossed a distance of more than ten meters and returned to the edge of the "Samarian Women's Spring"!
Out of the corner of his eye, he could see "Hela" running back in a few steps, her eyes hollow and blood-stained, like a puppet, like a dead corpse, or an absolute obedient soldier.
Lumien could already think of how he had returned to the "Samarian Woman's Spring" with his eyes closed, and he had come back in such an empty, submissive state!
At this moment, he was awake and could no longer escape, because behind him was the long black hair curled back and the vague figure of what appeared to be a high-ranking witch, and in front of him was the palm that was either highly rotten or twisted and disgusting.
They grabbed Lumian at the same time, dragging him into the spring, and the huge figure with long blood-colored hair was only one step away from him.
Lumian gritted his teeth, and while he still had a little freedom, he bit down on the bottom of the white candle and slipped his gauntlet-wearing left hand into his pocket.
At this moment, he was angry in his heart:
"You shit-like evil gods, you've been watching for so long, why haven't you sent someone to harm me?
"What about dangerous creatures, what about dangerous creatures?
"Are you afraid to come here, to face that crazy figure?"

Lu Mian cursed, but did not give up, drew a short knife, and was about to cut off his right palm, which was corroded by the earth's blood mine.
If you want, take it!
As for whether the six o'clock restart every morning would make the right hand that was lost here grow out, he couldn't care so much now.
At this moment, in the depths of the white spring water that trembled and swayed with the earth, a white palm stretched out from the dark hole.
The palms and fingers were slender, and there were cracks on the back, each of which either grew pale yellow feathers stained with oil, or dripped with rotten and yellow fluid, and on both sides of those cracks, the skin was as crystalline as jade, but it was white and dull.
As soon as the palm appeared, it crossed the spring barrier and grabbed the right leg of the huge figure.
The figure in the blood-stained armor with the burning formless flame swayed suddenly, and it was difficult to control itself being pulled towards the pitch-black hole deep in the white spring water.
He struggled to tie and fight, but the receding trend of the strange palm remained unwavering, and the few reactions were that the pale yellow feathers fell, the fluid stained with blood, and the muscles were no longer crystalline, and black, living veins protruded.
Countless complex sigils, pale or dark or dim, appeared, carrying the mad and terrifying figure and rapidly shrinking towards the black and gloomy spring.
Lu Mian didn't see or see this scene, only knew that the huge figure with a rotten face and blood-red eyes was far away from him, and the terrifying palm that had been grabbed stopped moving, as if frozen in time.
The terrifying and crazy figure roared repeatedly, but it was difficult to get out of control, and in the blink of an eye, most of the body was dragged back to the depths of the spring.
When he was about to disappear completely, his madness turned like substance, and two dark red "traces" flew out of his iron black eyes, shooting straight at Lumian.
Lu Mian instinctively raised his right hand, and the two "iron marks" pierced through the "torture" fist gloves and penetrated his skin that had been eroded by the earth's blood mine.
Whoop!
The pale spring water completely shrunk, bringing all the figures of the ups and downs into the dark hole.

The vicinity of the fountain suddenly became unusually quiet.
