This dark, small wooden box can be used eight times.

Lumian held Franka's bag containing gold coins in his right hand and reached in through the leather-like "curtain".

Then, he touched his five wet and wrinkled fingers. They quickly closed them and grabbed the bag containing the gold coins.

Lumian's expression did not change at all, and he spoke his request in Hermes.

After a brief pause, the wrinkled and wet palm pushed back the bag containing the gold coins.

This... Lumian raised his head and told Franka and others about the situation.

"This means asking for more money!" Franka suddenly realized.

She distressedly took out more banknotes and gold, but the cold, wrinkled palm pushed back the reward time and time again.

Lumian helped Franka add tens of thousands of ferkin, but the transaction was still not completed.

"Perhaps, what the 'Black Box' wants is not money or gold?" Jenna thought of the information about the "broker" channel that Jebus talked about.

"Need a magical item?" Lumian frowned, thinking about things that could be traded.

Franka thought about it and said:

"How about using that 'blood gold' ring? It has a huge negative impact and we hardly use it."

The "blood gold" ring is obtained from "Crazy Girl" and corresponds to some of the abilities of "Rose Bishop" in sequence 6 of the "Secret Prayer" path.

The four of them discussed for a while and finally decided to give the "blood gold" ring a try.

After the wet palm in the "obscura" touched the "blood gold" ring, the five fingers clenched tightly and retracted with the ring.

This means the deal is done.

Huh... Lumian breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"I don't know how this 'black-box transaction' will be realized..."

"I hope you won't meet a scammer. Praise 'The Fool'!" Franka pressed her hand on her chest and prayed to Mr. "The Fool".
