"Could the remains of the Blood Emperor, the remains of a god, contain the Beyonder characteristics of Sequence 0?"
No wonder the Iron Cross dreams of entering Trier in the Fourth Epoch.
"But what does this have to do with me? I'm a Sequence 7, and I can't even think about becoming a demigod, let alone being promoted to a Sequence 6 conspirator. For now, I'm only thinking about digesting the arsonist potion. I'm not considering high-sequence items or even items involving gods because I'm too full and can't find anything else to do."
"Moreover, according to the magic lady, similar items will always have a responsible influence. Tsk, the responsible influence involving divinity can easily kill me."
Lumian, who had a lot of high-end mystical knowledge, was not swayed by Gardner Martin.
As the thought turned, he only sneered in his heart, looking at Gardner. Martin asked innocently, "If the remains of Blood Emperor Tudor really existed in Trier in the Fourth Epoch, why didn't the Church of the Eternal Setting Sun and the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery take it away, but left it to us, the Iron-Blooded Cross?"
"Even if only hunters can enter safely, with the resources they have, it is only a matter of time to train high-sequence hunters. The Fifth Epoch has been around for more than 1,300 years."
Gardner. Martin was silent for two seconds before answering: "There are other factors that restrict them, but that does not constitute an obstacle to us. I will tell you the details after we find the entrance to Trier in the Fourth Epoch."
Doesn't this mean that I don't know why, but we have to give it a try? Well, the boss may know the reason, but he is afraid to tell us and scare us.
He couldn't just tell the members present that there were many dangers hidden underground that even gods could not resolve, and that they had to rebuild a Trier on the Quaternary ruins to seal it.
That’s why the two major churches didn’t try to enter. Haha, if the pollution level is not that serious, who would dare to go underground after hearing such words
Lumian tried hard to control himself, not letting his eyes or his posture show any superiority.
Compared to the members of the Iron Cross here, he knows the general situation underground, has seen the invisible sea of fire, the shadow tree, and the strange tombs, so he is indeed qualified to be superior.
Of course, he had no way of knowing for the time being how well Chief Gardner Martin and Supervisor Olson understood the underground situation.
The latter, who is suspected to have been to Trier in the Fourth Epoch, may know more secrets.
Gardner. Martin did not continue the topic of the Blood Emperor and the Fourth Epoch, but turned to Lumian and asked, "What do you need recently?"
Oh, are you going to give out membership benefits? Lumian was suddenly excited and said very sincerely, "I want some weird magical items to make up for the lack of my own extraordinary abilities."
"If there is no similar magical item, I can give me the corresponding extraordinary materials. I will try to find a craftsman to make it myself."
He almost said the term "Extraordinary Characteristics" directly, but pretended to be a little embarrassed, paused, and changed the Extraordinary Materials.
Although many people in Trier's occult gatherings would also talk about extraordinary characteristics, they mostly used it to refer to the two main ingredients of the potion that had been fused together.
Of course, there are also some people who have long discovered that Extraordinary People are also extraordinary creatures. They can also analyze the materials that can be used to prepare potions and vaguely realize one aspect of the law of the immortality of Extraordinary Characteristics.
Normally, when Lumian said the word "Extraordinary Characteristics", it would not attract suspicion or attention, but he was facing a conspirator now, and he could not let the other party have any associations.
"Haha, you really dare to speak." Albus, with his legs crossed and shaking his feet, looked at Lumian and said sarcastically.
Parsifal, Vincent, Lorraine and others all looked a little strange. When they joined the Iron Cross, they did not dare to make such a request.
Lumian glanced at Albus and said with a sarcastic smile, "Why don't you dare to speak up? I'm not some loser who thinks he can't bear such a reward."
"The organization rewards me with 10 points today, and I will definitely be able to return 100 points in the future."
Albus put down his right leg that was resting on his left knee, and stared into Lumian's eyes like violent flames.
Blake, Parsifal and others also expressed their dissatisfaction, but only Faustino always maintained the attitude of a butler.
"Okay." Gardner Martin stopped Albus from responding and said to Lumian with a smile: "You can see that as a leader, I must be fair. If I give you a magical item right now, they will protest."
"Don't worry, we, the Iron Cross, are not a stingy organization. Once you have completed a few missions and accumulated enough merits, I will give you a few magical items and let you choose for yourself."
"Before this, in each mission, I will also give the participating members appropriate magical items for temporary use according to the situation, and return them after the mission is over, to ensure the safety of the members and the completion of the mission to the greatest extent possible."
Lumian nodded to show that he could accept it. He didn't have much hope in the first place, but he felt that he wouldn't lose anything by making such a request. What if the superior was in a good mood and agreed to it directly
Gardner. Martin thought for a moment and said, "I will tell René that the money you took in advance is my reward. You will still be able to get your share in full from the Breeze Ballroom later."
“Thank you, sir.” Lumian did not hide his joy. This was equivalent to 12,000 Felgin as his membership benefit, which was quite good.
As a result, most of the money he spent on becoming an arsonist came from the funding from the Aurora Society and the Iron Cross, and he only paid less than one-third. His thanks were sincere.
Gardner. Martin cut a medium-rare steak, chewed it and swallowed it, then said, "Do you have any other questions?"
Lumian deliberately asked, "How can I control the Arsonist potion in a short period of time?"
He was testing whether the method of acting was public knowledge within the Iron Cross.
Gardner. Martin laughed and said, "It's a good question. To control the potion, you need to start with the name of the potion. Try to get close to it, understand it, and show it. In addition, I want to tell you a motto: Fire can burn others, but it can also hurt yourself."
Lumian listened attentively and had a general grasp of the situation.
The Iron Cross concealed the Act and its exact interpretation from the rank and file, replacing it with a more vague description and a restraint consisting of an imperfect code of rules, warnings, and maxims.
Let members know that this is allowed, without knowing why. This can help ordinary members avoid some risks and allow them to gradually gain their own understanding in the process of getting closer to the name of the potion, speeding up digestion to varying degrees. However, it cannot push them to summarize role-playing rules that are more suitable for themselves.
In other words, they can control potions more easily than wild extraordinary people and advance at shorter intervals, but except for those who are very talented and close to the requirements of role-playing, they are not as good as extraordinary people who know how to role-play.
Lumian suspected that only after reaching the rank of non-commissioned officer and becoming the focus of training of the Iron Cross would he be taught the complete method of acting.
He believed that the Iron Cross, a secret organization with hundreds of years of history, must have mastered the method of acting. In comparison, the magician lady of the Tarot Society gave a lot of very advanced mystical knowledge at the beginning, including the method of acting.
As for Mr. K, Lumian didn't know whether it was because he was too pious and focused all his energy on praying and doing things that he forgot to dare to teach the role-playing method, or he felt that he would naturally be able to come into contact with it when he joined the Iron Cross, and knowing it too early would easily expose him.
The arsonist is asking you to set fire. If you go to the Capitol and set a fire, and burn that place, you will be able to control the potion in a short time.
Albus encouraged Lumian with a tone of someone who was watching the fun and didn't mind if things got out of hand.
Lumian sneered in response, "I am an arsonist, not an arsonist. Pointless arson will only hurt yourself."
"How do you know it has no meaning? The burning flame is the meaning." Albus sneered.
Lumian immediately clicked his tongue: "Then I might as well let your hair burn with flames as well."
The two had a quarrel-like manner, and after a while of communication, Gardner Martin stopped the discussion, which was becoming increasingly worthless and close to personal attacks.
Lumian changed the subject and began to probe what the Iron Cross knew about the underground.
"I went to the catacombs some time ago and felt that there was something unusual there, but I couldn't find the problem. Sir, do you know what the situation is?"
Gardner. Martin glanced at Olson, the supervisor beside him, and said carefully: "That has nothing to do with the actions of our Iron Cross. You don't need to understand. I can only tell you now that the danger lurking there is no less than that of Terry in the Fourth Epoch."
Lumian nodded thoughtfully, and asked various questions while enjoying the food.
During this process, he found that Vincent Lorraine was relatively silent and didn't talk much, Parsifal and Bloody Hand Black were both friendly and good at chatting, but they were very smooth and rarely revealed valuable information, and Faustino was more inclined to regard himself as a butler rather than a formal member of the secret organization.
Only the dark red-haired young man, Albus, although vicious and sarcastic, could still bring some inspiration to Lumian with his occasional words.
At around 10 o'clock in the evening, the initiation ceremony ended, and Lumian was the last one to leave No. 11 Fountain Street and got on the carriage belonging to the Breeze Ballroom.
As the carriage started moving, Lumian's heart suddenly tightened and he looked up at the seat opposite him.
At some point, a new person appeared there: the hungry supervisor Olson.
The trader who plays a monster underground.
