Gardner Martin was already accustomed to Lumian's frankness and directness, and he nodded gently and said:
"If you want to get it quickly, I have three items here that are as valuable as the 'Werewolf' teeth.
"The first one is the 'Shadow Bracelet', which 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, leading to auditory hallucinations.
"In recent years, no one has dared to use this magical item unless there are special circumstances."
Then why did you ask me if I wanted it? Do you think I look like a madman or a fool? Lumian expressed his doubts with his eyes.
Gardner Martin smiled and explained simply:
"I am one of the few people who has used the 'Shadow Bracelet' without 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 suffered from the "abnormal" pollution of 13 Market Avenue, is not necessarily any better than those who went crazy or disappeared mysteriously.
According to Ms. Magic'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. If you really want to say it, you can 'provoke' When my words come to my attention, the best I can do is respond with sarcasm. Look, isn’t Albus still alive and well?”
"Yes, 'Sir'." Of course Lumian could not tell the other party. Most of the words he forcibly endured were secrets that could not be known to the "Iron-Blooded Cross".
Gardner Martin left the easy chair and continued: "The second item is the extraordinary characteristics left by a 'psychic'. Do you know what extraordinary characteristics are, right?"
Lumian replied calmly: "Killing extraordinary creatures can harvest one of the main materials for preparing potions. Killing extraordinary people can definitely obtain corresponding things, just like the golden-red transparent "Iron Hammer" Aite The ball is the same as this 'werewolf' tooth.
"I think these are extraordinary characteristics. They all correspond to the same magic potion. There is no need to collect additional main materials, right?"
Gardner Martin nodded appreciatively: "Yes, your judgment is accurate."
He did not talk about the "Law of Immortality of Extraordinary Characteristics" in detail. He seemed to think that it would involve many secrets, which Lumian could not know now.
Gardner Martin put his hands behind his back and walked back and forth a few steps in front of the unlit fireplace:
"Psychic", from the 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 "artisan".
"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, finds out the weaknesses of undead creatures, and directly communicates with the natural spirits and various undead creatures in the real world. Use them to achieve various magical effects by combining any two or three of them. If you are lucky enough, you will 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 a bit like the "contracted person", relying on other creatures to obtain power...
Lumian thought for a few seconds and said, "Where's the third one?"
Gardner Martin walked back to the easy chair:
“That is also an extraordinary characteristic. If you carry it, you will find that you become quite lucky, which is reflected in the details of various things.
"The corresponding sequence name is 'Lucky One', but you have to remember that a lucky carnival is often a precursor to disaster. Also, it may allow you to see things you shouldn't see."
Sequence 7 of the "Monster" path? Lumian remembered the contents of Aurore's witchcraft notebook.
The "Monster" path, also called the "Destiny" path, is a path known for its high inspiration and is closely connected to destiny.
Lumian chuckled and said: "The lucky one eventually unfortunately turned into an extraordinary characteristic?
"It's such an ironic joke."
Gardner Martin agreed: "Don't underestimate bad luck, and don't rely on luck, otherwise you will also become extraordinary."
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 more 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 also the hidden danger of losing their minds and being unable to control themselves.
"Have you decided which item to choose now? If you choose extraordinary characteristics, I can help you contact a craftsman and pay the production cost on your behalf. This is the reward you deserve for your contribution tonight."
Is the "craftsman" you are looking for a saint? How would you react if you found out that I was hiding the "Shadow Branch"? Lumian muttered, thinking carefully 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.
"Psychic can make up for my shortcomings, but it doesn't match well with Shadow Branch. I can't create a magical item with the effect of 'Unresolved Love between Humans and Ghosts'... Well, some of its features are the same as ' There is still a certain overlap between the recipients of the contract...
"The lucky ones can make the 'Shadow Branch' always inspire the appropriate desires? The two points of the 'Werewolf' sacrificing sanity and being killed, and being affected by bloodthirsty desires are also relatively consistent with the 'Shadow Branch'. I don't know what will happen. magical items…”
Lumian thought about it and spent several minutes before making a decision: "I want the 'lucky one'."
The most critical reason why he gave up the extraordinary characteristics of "Werewolf" was that it might bring irrational negative effects to the final magical item.
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 Cross", briefly left the living room and went up the stairs.
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: "Replace it with a jar every seven days."
"Thank you, sir." Lumian stuffed the glass jar containing the extraordinary characteristics of "Lucky One" into his 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, trying to catch this cultist who brought me disaster. I just received intelligence 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."
