Are all the dogs near this monastery so pious? Lumian looked away and cursed.
He immediately left the woods.
For him, what he needs to master is the route from Red Swan Castle to Sacred Heart Monastery, as well as the environment that can be used on the way. As for what the Sacred Heart Monastery looks like and whether there is anything special about it, he doesn't care at all.
By three or four o'clock in the afternoon, he explored the terrain around Red Swan Castle and found several escape routes that could be used in an emergency. Some of them were main roads, next to the freight railway, and some needed to go through the woods. , lakes or hills are not only relatively hidden, but also have many natural traps.
Lumian originally considered whether to sneak into the Red Swan Castle in the form of a dog, but later discovered that the guards there were very strict, and stray dogs would definitely be shot if they dared to approach.

"It's a pity that the 'Art of Animal Creation' can only transform larger animals. The implicit requirement is that the fur can cover the curled up human being. Otherwise, I can turn into a mouse. I don't believe you can still prevent me!" Lumian left the area with emotion and found a nearby deserted place.
Then, he used his spiritual energy to vibrate the air inside the dog's skin, and muttered two Hermetic words:
"Your Excellency the Archbishop!"
It is not difficult for Lumian to make sounds in this way. What is difficult is that he is sealed by the "Art of Animal Creation" and his spirituality is also restricted. He cannot extend his body or dog skin, and his number has become very rare. Therefore, The corresponding sound will be confined within the dog's skin and cannot be heard by others, and even if you can't say a few words, you can recite the lifting spell.
There was a flash of dark light, and the brown dog skin split open, revealing Lumian's body.
Lumian climbed out, folded the fur, and held it in his arms.
It no longer has any magical powers and must use rituals to function again. Lumian has no intention of discarding it. After all, it is difficult to find such a complete and large dog skin.
"There is one ritual dog skin left, so I have to use it sparingly." Lumian muttered as he followed the already familiar road to the nearest town.
In a big city like Trier, ceremonial dog skin is more practical than ceremonial sheepskin or ceremonial cowhide. If he were to wear the latter two and turn into the corresponding animal, Lumian would become the focus of the public and would not be able to escape attention. The effect is, after all, when they encounter a lonely sheep walking on the street, everyone wants to take it home quietly and make it into various delicacies. Besides, Trier also has that kind of pervert who likes sheep's butts.
When Lumian returned to Apartment 601, No. 3, White Coat Street, it was already dark.
Franka changed back to her usual attire and sat cross-legged on the easy chair, staring at the "Lie" necklace placed on the corner of the coffee table with a vigilant expression, as if the other party would jump up at any time and slap her twice.
"What's wrong?" Lumian closed the door and put the "lie" away.
Franka's expression changed a few times, and she said "Hey":
"After I came back, I had nothing to do and tried to fine-tune my face, but...
Speaking of this, she sighed with fear and aftertaste:

"I was fascinated by my reflection in the mirror!
"I have never seen such a perfect woman. Just looking at her face, I can look at her for a whole day, no, a lifetime!"
Lumian thought for a moment and said:
"It's okay to lie to others, but never lie to yourself."
"I understand, but the effect of 'Pleasure Witch' plus 'Lies' is really too strong." Franka said sincerely, "I finally controlled myself, took off the necklace by force, and threw it on the coffee table. Well, My addiction also amplifies my emotions, but I still can't help but think about it and want to try it again. Haha, my soul has withstood the test."
After losing sight of the "Lie" necklace, Franka relaxed visibly, smiled and said:
"Were you just trying to, uh, use your sister's language habits to admonish me?"
"Yes, prepare to attend your party." Lumian did not hide that he had been practicing Aurore's way of speaking recently.
Franka nodded slightly and said:
"It's quite natural. If it's always at this level, it won't be a problem to hide it from them."

Without waiting for Lumian to respond, the "Witch of Joy" teased and said:
“How do honey grilled chicken wings taste?”
"It's not bad." Lumian commented pertinently.
Franka asked with interest and a bit of teasing:
"Could it be a dog's sense of taste? Has the sense of smell improved?"

"It will have a certain impact, but it will not completely transform into a dog. It will still retain a large part of human feelings." Lumian gave the answer with an experimental attitude.
"What about other aspects?" Franka asked further.
Lumian thought about it and said:
"Other aspects? It's more like my soul has been stuffed into the body of a real dog. Everything I do will be restricted and affected by the body, including..."
Sitting on the couch, he raised his legs and assumed the posture of a canine creature urinating.
Franka said "huh":
"Do you really not care about your image at all? Do you have no psychological burden at all?"
"What's there to care about?" Lumian shrugged.
Franka thought for a moment, turned her eyes slightly and said:
"Last question, uh, you, will you be affected by dog hormones and have abnormal reactions to other dogs?"
"The body is mine, the dog is just skin, only external restrictions." Lumian looked like you are a fool.
Then, he learned from Ms. "Magician":
"Have you finished asking?"
"That's it." Franka was satisfied.
Lumian smiled:

“Then it’s my turn to ask.
"What do you think of the ladies you observed today?"
Franka unconsciously turned up a few flaxen hair that had fallen out of her ponytail and said:
"There are two suspects..."
She recounted her speculation and finally said:
"The orange-red haired woman also gave me a strange feeling, as if she was attracting me."
Lumian smiled:
"Your feeling is correct, that is at least a 'Witch of Joy' or an Extraordinary who possesses corresponding magical items."
After confirming that the person was an Extraordinary of the "Witch" path, he felt Franka's instinctive charm from every move of the other person. For him, who had most of his abilities sealed, it was a bit difficult to resist. , fortunately, the "mendicant monk"'s patience is still there.
"Witches'?" Franka had not thought about this possibility, and said to herself thoughtfully, "Yes, how could a women's happy party not attract one or two 'witches'..."
Lumian understood something clearly after hearing this:
"In order to bring joy to others, also make yourself happy?"
He felt it was a need to act.
"That's one thing. Even if it's not to digest the potion, I still want to go, but I can control myself, and other 'witches' can't." Franka said with a look of disdain and a bit of regret.
Lumian didn't quite understand this sentence, so he said instead:

"She was stalking you, but you dumped her."
"Ah..." Franka was stunned for a moment and said, "She should be from the witch family."
"That witch family you mentioned?" Lumian heard Franka briefly talk about this secret organization before.
In fact, he has never quite understood why "witches" can form a family?
Matriarchal society?
Franka sighed and said:
"Yes, that is also called the Witch Sect. The earliest source is the family established by the descendants of the 'Original Witch' in the Fourth Age. Well, the 'Original Witch' is Sequence 0 of the 'Assassin' path. The real god. He Widely considered to be an evil god, also known as the 'Witch of Chaos'."
"Original Witch"... Lumian memorized this name.
Franka continued:
"The core of the witch family has always been the descendants of the 'original witch', but they will also recruit or develop 'assassins' with other surnames, which is equivalent to a sect and controls all the magic potion formulas and most of the resources in this way.
"Only the 'witches' of the Witch Sect will follow a suspected wild 'witch' upon meeting for the first time."
"In order to recover extraordinary characteristics?" Lumian asked.
Whether it's recruiting or killing, it's all about recycling extraordinary characteristics.
Franka pursed her lips and said:
"Yes, they don't want the extraordinary characteristics of the 'Witch' path to be lost outside their sect. Moreover, they hate female 'Assassins' and will eliminate every one they see."

"Why?" Lumian couldn't understand.
Franka gave him a "hateful" look, as if she was blaming him for asking such a question.
She sighed and said:
"Because the 'Original Witch' was originally a male, but became a woman in the process of becoming a god through the 'Assassin' path. His mind was twisted and full of pain, and the people of the Witch Sect all claimed to be close to the original.
"So, every 'witch' in the Witch Cult was once a man. After experiencing pain and suffering, they all became extremely distorted. They want to see other men have similar encounters and experiences. You may not know, These 'witches' would find a man to have a baby, send the baby girl away, and keep the baby boy to repeat his mother's life."
As the prank king of Kordu Village, Lumian couldn't help but shake his head:
"Isn't this too perverted?"
"What's even more perverted is that the fathers of those children eventually became 'witches.'" Franka said the information she obtained from Ms. "Judgement" and exhaled in fear, "I have been avoiding They don’t want to be discovered by them.”
"But you are originally a male, so there is no need to be afraid." Lumian didn't quite understand. "Are you worried that after joining the witch sect, you will be contaminated by their perversions and distortions?"
Franka nodded solemnly:
"Yes.
"Besides, I am already a member of the Tarot Club's Little Arcana. How can I join the Witch Sect?"
Lumian was silent for a few seconds and said:
"Don't you also want to join the 'Iron Cross'?"
"That's different, that's the task of the 'Tarot Club'." Franka defended reflexively.

Lumian did not dwell on this topic and nodded thoughtfully:
"No wonder you said that women's happy parties tend to attract 'witches'."
Franka suddenly sneered:
"That is to say, the vast majority of 'witches' belong to the witch sect and have vertical or horizontal connections. Otherwise, half of the people in the women's happy party may be 'witches'.
"A more extreme scenario would be like receiving an invitation to a strip party and going to watch it with great interest, but all the people who show up are men."
After muttering a few words, Franka looked at Lumian and said rather embarrassedly:
"What to do next?
