The "Hanged Man" agrees to Lumian's request and tells him to contact him through the "magician".

With words of thanks, Lumien and Franka left the captain's quarters and returned to the deck in the dim light of the torches, stepping on the creaking planks along the aisle that could only accommodate three of them.

They noticed that the ghost ship named the "Blue Avenger" was not alone with Alger the "Stormbringer", but at the stern, on the outside of the cabin, in the mast lookout, there were a few dozen sailors, hiding at the edge of the darkness, not trying to get close to this side.

In the next second, Lumian and Franka saw a bright star hanging in front of them at the same time, it was dyed a little strange blue, as if it had just come out of the spirit world.

The star grew larger and larger, as if it had descended on the ground in an instant, and its light spread out, engulfing everything around it.

Lumian and Franka just blinked, and they were swept up in Starlight, and by the time their sight returned, they were back in room 207 of the Golden Rooster Hotel.

"It's, it's gorgeous!" Franka praised heartily, looking yearning.

She hated that her only choice for changing paths was "hunters", and she couldn't experience the chic of the "apprentices", so she could only think about getting a seal with similar abilities in the future.

Lumian didn't echo Franca, and stood there, thoughtful.

Franca looked at him and thought for a moment, "Don't you think this is a little strange?"

"Raising 100,000 Felkin gold should be a very simple matter for a treasure hunter whose strength is equivalent to that of a pirate king, and those three questions don't need to be thought about for too long, but it took so many days for Mr. 'Hanged Man' to ask you to summon 'Armor Shadow', and it was when he had already arrived in Trier.

"Also, with the ability shown by Ms. 'Magician', it is completely possible to easily send us to the sea, to the interior of the 'Blue Avenger', and then pick us up, why do you have to wait for Mr. 'Hanging Man' to come to Trier?"

Lumian laughed and complimented Franca:

"This time it's very keen, it seems that the brain still needs to be used a lot, and it will seem that the IQ is insufficient if it is always idle."

"Damn, are you praising me or scolding me?" Franka snorted and frowned slightly, "Either Mr. 'Hanged Man' was in a special environment some time ago and it was difficult to locate accurately, or he had other purposes for going to Trier...."

Speaking of which, Lumian and Franka both remembered the impending catastrophe and smelled the oppression and terror of the storm that was about to fall over the city.

"Will the Tarot be sending more big Arcana cards to Trier? In order to protect as many citizens as possible if the disaster is not prevented?" Franka made a guess.

Lumian nodded slightly, not retorting.

After a moment of silence, Franka changed the subject and exclaimed with motivation, "I'm going to be a demigod, I'm going to accumulate gold!"

Seeing that Lumian raised her eyebrows and asked with her eyes, Franca said with yearning and longing:

"That way, I can directly ask you to summon the 'Armor Shadow' and ask the questions I want to ask, without having to ask the big Arcana cards for protection!"

"Go for it, Miss Joy." Lumien quipped.

The next day, it was close to noon.

Returning from Fountain Street, Lumien led Jane into the underground, to the third level of the catacombs, to the small square where the two pillars of sacrifice stood tall.

"Why did you bring me here?" Jaina looked puzzled.

If it weren't for the fact that she knew Lumian very well and knew what kind of person this guy was, she would have wondered if her friend had suddenly become ill-intentioned.

Lumian, who was carrying a black satchel on his back, stood upright, put his hands in his pockets, and said with a smile: "Give you the safest environment for promotion."

Combined with Franca's statement and the words of the "magician" lady, Lumian knew the sequence 0 of the "assassin" path, the true god worshipped by the witch sect should be a man turned into a woman, and his heart was very twisted.

It is said that this "primordial witch" is immersed in pain and cannot extricate herself, and wants to replicate her experience from generation to generation, so he hates normal women as "witches" very much, and the witch sect is also hunting female "assassins", female "instigators" and real "witches".

In this case, Jana's consumption of the "witch" potion may be affected a little, after all, even the existence of the "Hidden Sage", which occupies the position of sequence 0, can indiscriminately affect every extraordinary person in the path of the "Voyeur", whispering to them from time to time, instilling knowledge when they take the potion to be promoted, and the real evil god "Primordial Witch" has no reason to completely affect the "witches".

Although this effect should not be too strong in the case of a lower sequence - Auuror can be promoted to Sequence 7 and become a "wizard" under the whispering indoctrination of the "Hidden Sage" all the way, but it is better to be careful than careless, and since there are ways to reduce or weaken similar effects, why not do it?

You must know that "witch" is the first qualitative change node of the "assassin" path, and even the beginning of the core meaning of "witch", and the "original witch" who only wants to watch men change their gender will most likely pay more attention to the promoters of this sequence, whether it is Franca or Lumian, they don't want Jana to take risks.

Of course, Ms. "Magician" occasionally mentioned that the evil god was not in very good shape.

"The safest?" Jane looked around, not too convinced.

It's dark all around, it's full of corpses, how can it be called safe?

Only the surroundings of the two mottled stone pillars seem warmer and calmer.

Lumian briefly introduced the special nature of this sacrificial square, and finally said:

"At the top of the 'Assassin' path is an evil god, no one knows if he will suddenly go crazy, and the god of the same path has the ability to exert a certain influence when the extraordinary person takes the potion to promote, artificially, no, God to increase the difficulty.

"That connection can be greatly weakened here."

After listening intently, Jaina walked to the mottled stone pillar inscribed with the "Sun Emblem", opened her arms slightly, and began to pray.

Seeing that she didn't ask why Franca wasn't affected in the first place, and that she hadn't mentioned this matter in the previous exchange of precautions, Lumian raised his right hand, touched his chin, and secretly "tsk".

"Praise the sun!" At the end of the prayer, Jane reverently sang the praises of the "eternal sun".

Lumian didn't say anything, and handed Jana the extraordinary properties of the "witch" in the black satchel and the scales of the shadow lizard.

He used the 10,000 Felkin given by the other party from Gardner. Martin got it in exchange.

Jaina glanced at the blue eye-like "gem" and the silky lines of its appearance, knelt down on one knee, and concocted the potion on the unusually clean square floor.

Not long after, a potion with a dark red color and hidden shadows appeared in Jana's hand.

Jaina calmed down, only to feel that in the past few months, she seemed to be pushed forward by various things, and she couldn't stop now.

Maybe that's my fate...... Praise the sun! Jana closed her eyes, and then secretly added a sentence in her heart: Praise the fool!

At this critical moment, in order to be promoted smoothly and to survive, the balance of faith in her heart involuntarily tilted a little.

This is due to the fact that both Franka and Lumian are more relaxed when it comes to taking potions and improving their sequences, or at least they seem to be, and they both believe in Mr. Fool.

Without hesitation, Jaina held a kind of thinking that she was assassinating Yuge. Artois was already dead, and Gollum drank the potion.

The potion was cold and illusory, like melting hoarfrost, and Jaina soon had a feeling of itching and pain all over her body.

Her thoughts blurred, as if she were slowly sinking in the water.

Huo Ran, sharp pain erupted from her body, and Jane Na woke up a lot, finding herself surrounded by black, quiet flames, devouring little by little.

Above her, there was a clear layer of ice condensed by hoarfrost, which was like a mirror, blocking Jana's efforts to climb out of the black flames.

In the next second, Jaina saw more faces and figures on the ice.

That face looks exactly like her!

The figure was another Jane, but her dominant hand had become her left hand!

"Jana" on the ice looked at the figure in the black flame viciously, with a look of anticipation and longing.

Jane Na can be regarded as a person who has fought before, and in surprise and horror, she immediately gathered all her strength together and swung her fist upward.

The ice shattered silently, and the "vicious" Jaenna also fell into the black flames.

At this time, there was a black thing like a python swaying gently in the distance, and its front end had a dark blue vertical eye.

The strange "python" disappeared in a flash, and did not enter the area, but only threw a black shadow.

Almost at the same time, a long, painful sigh was heard in Jana's ears.

The illusory sigh was close to her, like from the surroundings of the Sacrificial Square, from the corpses beside her.

The black shadow projected by the strange "python" grew wildly, getting bigger and bigger, but also getting fainter and fainter.

It enveloped Jana and the malevolent figure at once, seeping into their bodies.

Jaina did not give up, endured the pain and trance, tried her best to climb out of the black flame hell, and came to the nearby ice, the black shadow was weak, did not chase, could only drag the vicious "Jana" into the black abyss with no bottom in sight.

The scene shattered in an instant, and Jana's vision returned to normal, seeing the mottled stone pillar inscribed with the "Sun Emblem".

Her expression had contorted, but the pain in her body was easing little by little.

Seeing that the black flames on Jana's body were rapidly shrinking and dissipating, and the surrounding frost was rapidly melting, Lumian understood that this companion had successfully promoted to Sequence 7 and was a "witch".

Only then did he cast his gaze on the edge of the sacrificial square, to the mausoleum and the corpses shrouded in darkness.

Not long after Jana took the potion, he felt a little strange there, but in the end nothing entered the clean square where the two pillars of sacrifice were.

Finally, when Janna was no longer abnormal, she got up and saw Lumian looking into the distance, so she wondered, "After I drank the potion, I seemed to hear a sigh over there."

Lumien nodded slowly, "On this level of the catacombs, there is a 'Night Pillar of Chrissmanna', which represents a 'Witch of Calamity' who once fell here."
