The lady was eating a croissant and said to Lumian after a while:
"I know."
She really knew ...... Lumi was overjoyed and considered the language:
"Can I pay a certain price and ask you to help solve Kordu's problem?"
He changed to an honorific title again.
In his opinion, this mysterious lady is definitely stronger than the three of them, and much stronger, if she is willing to help, then the problem of Kordu Village will no longer be a problem, and she and her sister will not have to risk escaping, the only problem is that she may not be able to afford the corresponding price.
As for whether the other party would agree, Lumian was not sure at all, and could even be said to be very pessimistic, he just felt that it was necessary to try once in the current situation, even if he was rejected, it would only be a loss of face, and he didn't care about this.
The lady looked sideways at Lumian and said in a calm tone:
"I can indeed solve the problem here, but at the corresponding cost is that everything is destroyed, including you.
"If you want to get a better result, you can only rely on yourself."
Is the problem so serious? Lumian's pupils dilated instantly, wanting to see the other person's subtle expression clearly to see if she was joking.
The lady refused to help, he was not surprised or disappointed at all, he was shocked that the problem in Kordu Village in the other party's mouth was many times more serious than he expected, and could even lead to the destruction of the entire village!
Since she can solve it, why is it that the whole village is dying, while we, ordinary people and extraordinary people who are not strong enough, can fight for a better result? Lumian was puzzled and frightened.
He decided that if he didn't receive a call back from "Novel Weekly" the day after tomorrow, he would urge his sister to leave Kordu Village immediately, even if he had to take a big risk, he couldn't delay any longer!
"What is the problem?" Lumian has never paid attention to decency, and continued to ask.
The lady smiled:
"If I say it and you investigate, the results will be completely different."
Lumian instinctively grinded his teeth, he didn't like this kind of behavior of "only speaking a little and always refusing to speak clearly".
For some reason, he felt that the strange emotion in the other party's eyes was more obvious.
"Okay." Lumian thought for a moment and then asked, "Do you know Mrs. Puaris? She's also a wizard, uh, extraordinary?"
"Forget it." The woman picked up the coffee cup and took a sip.
Yes...... Lumian further asked:
"What way, which sequence?"
In the next second, he saw that the lady's expression was a little more serious:
"Not a normal way."
"What does it mean to be not normal?" Lumian asked.
The lady smiled:
"You'll know later."
I want to know right now...... Lumian struggled to control his expression.
He was already standing and was about to leave, when suddenly a question came to mind, a very critical question:
"Madam, how should those auxiliary materials be brought to the dream?"
In the state of dream ruins, at most he dug up red wine and basil, which are spices that wealthy families would prepare, and red chestnut flowers and poplar leaves needed to be collected in reality.
Although neither is difficult to find, Lumian has even thought about where to "borrow" it, but it is useless to get it, and it cannot be transferred to the dream at all.
The lady smiled and said:
"I'll give you a little help for free.
"You find those materials in reality, put them on the table in your bedroom before going to bed, and I will help you send them to your dream."
Can she send those things to my dreams? Lumian was shocked at first, and then breathed a sigh of relief because the problem had been solved.
He didn't expect that there was a second person who could "enter" in what he thought was a very special dream.
Thinking that the peculiarity of his entry into the ruins of the dream was likely due to the strange symbols on his chest, he suspected that the lady in front of him also had some connection with those symbols, or the strange, terrifying sound.
After leaving the old tavern, Lumian planned to collect red chestnut flowers and poplar leaves immediately.
At that moment, he saw Ryan, Leah, and Valentine coming out of the path leading to the back door of the tavern, still dressed in their previous clothes, dressed similarly.
Lumi moved with peace of mind and greeted him with a smile:
"Good morning, my cabbages."
Liya turned her head sideways and laughed in Dingdong's voice:
"You are also very early."
Lumian immediately pretended to be sneaky, glanced left and right a few times before lowering his voice and said:
"I found something unusual yesterday."
Ryan had a straight expression, and after looking at Valentai and Leah separately, he said:
"What is it?"
Lumian said with a slight fear:
"I suspect that Naroka's death is abnormal, it is the one who watched the funeral yesterday."
Ryan gave an encouraging look to continue talking.
Lumian exhaled and said:
"Didn't I tell you about the funeral customs in the Daliège region? Later, after everyone went to the cemetery, Pons. Bene entered Naroka's house, and the master did not object.
"Isn't this destroying the influence of their family's constellation and taking away the corresponding good luck?
"There must be a problem!"
"Pons. Bene is the brother of the priest of this parish?" Ryan thought for a few seconds and asked instead.
Lumian nodded heavily.
Thinking of the abnormality of the priests in this hall, thinking that he and his sister were about to leave Kordu Village, and there was no need to worry about possible silence and retaliation afterwards, he said directly:
"The priest of this parish is not a good person!"
"Why do you say that?" Liya asked with a smile.
She was not surprised that Lumian accused the parish priest like this.
Lumian was not polite and told the story of a villager who had gone to Dalliege to report and then disappeared, focusing on the accusations against the priest of the parish.
He concluded:
"I really doubt that he is a clergyman of the church.
"Once, I had to temporarily hide in the church because a story was told too truthfully, which caused some people to feel uncomfortable.
"When I was about to fall asleep behind the altar, the parish priest came in with Madame Puaris, and the two of them did some dirty things under the watchful eye of the gods.
"In the chat after the end, the parish priest also lamented to Madame Pualis and said, 'Why can't a man marry his sister?
"This sentence was unacceptable to Madame Puaris, who thought it was extremely sinful, and asked the priest to repent quickly.
"The priest said: 'Many good families have lost a lot of property because their daughters marry and other sons go out to start a family, and eventually fall......'"
Hearing this, the indifferent Valentine said with a pale face:
"Is he a servant of God or a servant of the devil?"
Ryan nodded as if thinking:
"No wonder Pons. Benet has been married for so many years and has not been allowed to start a family alone......"
Leah looked at Lumian twice and laughed softly:
"You really knew in advance that Madame Pualis was having an affair with the priest of our parish, and she wanted to take advantage of us that day."
Lumian smiled awkwardly at first, and then said with a righteous face:
"As a believer in the 'Eternal Sun', I can't stand such a person standing in a church."
The indifferent Valentine's face softened, and he nodded approvingly:
"It would be nice if there were a few more people like you in Kordu Village."
A few more me? Lumian couldn't imagine what Village of Kordu would look like in this situation.
He added:
"That time, I also heard the priest say to Madame Pualis that he was planning something that might be targeted by the court, so that Madame Pualis should be careful and not leak his mouth."
Ryan's expression then became solemn:
"Is there anything specific about it?"
"No." Lumian didn't make it up.
That's enough to say this, if you say a little more, the problem may completely break out tonight, and he hasn't had time to become an extraordinary person yet.
After bidding farewell to these three foreigners, Lumian spent a lot of time collecting red chestnut flowers and poplar leaves.
Near noon, he arrived at the square and came to the two-story building where the administrator was on official business.
At this time, most of the villagers had gathered here, waiting to be elected as the "Spring Elf".
Tomorrow we will begin part of the Lent celebrations.
Lumian found Raymond, Ava and the others and squeezed over.
"Is Ava on the list?" He asked.
Ava didn't speak, her mood was obviously very uneasy, and Raymond shook his head:
"I don't know."
"There must be Ava, among the unmarried women in the village, except for your sister, she is the most beautiful, and your sister is not of the same age." Guillaume standing next to him. Berry interjected.
He is the little Guillaume that Lumian and others call him, one of their frequent companions, with slightly curly brown hair, obvious freckles on his face, and blue eyes that seem to always squint because they are not big enough.
Ava's cousin Azema is also here, she looks a little smaller and mediocre.
At this time, she didn't speak.
Lumian understands her feelings because she also wants to be a "spring elf".
In the Dalliege area, being selected as the "Spring Elf" is not only everyone's recognition of your appearance and character, but also has some hidden benefits.
Hearing little Guillaume's words, Lumian smiled:
"If not, when the executive finishes reading the list, I will shout: 'I choose Ava!' 」
Ava was suddenly a little embarrassed:
"No."
This is actually a normal process, after the administrator reads the candidate list for the "Spring Elf", if the villagers have their own candidates, they can shout out on the spot and join the ranks of voting, but there are not many people who are thick-skinned enough to do this, and Lumian is one of them.
He was very calm about this:
Anyway, it's embarrassing that Ava is not me.
It didn't take long for a window on the second floor to open, and the administrator Beost appeared there.
From the outside, he was much stronger than the parishioner, with neatly combed brown hair fluttering with powder, light blue eyes with black lines, a straight nose bridge, thin lips, and a well-groomed beard, which made him look quite good, and the double-breasted flannel jacket showed his status.
Beost looked down at everyone for a few seconds:
"Ladies and gentlemen, the time has come, and those who are late will no longer have the right to vote.
"Below, I read out the shortlist of 'Spring Elves':
"Ava. Liziye ......"
Hearing this, Ava was obviously relieved.
Without any surprises, in the vote by raising her hand, she was approved by more than 80% of the villagers.
After the voting, Lumian did not go to celebrate with his four partners, and left the square directly under the pretext of having something to do at home.
As soon as he arrived home, he asked his sister:
"Is there a call back?"
If there is a call back, the telegraph operator will deliver it to your home and take a little more money by the way.
"Not yet." Aurore shook her head.
She turned to say:
"Recently, there has been an undercurrent, you can't relax in the slightest in your fighting practice, well, I'll practice with you in the afternoon."
Lumian was sore and hissed secretly when he heard the words.
Suddenly, his heart moved slightly, and he deliberately said with a bitter face:
"I don't know if I've been practicing too diligently lately, my whole body hurts today, Auror, uh, sister, can you press it for me? You are the most professional!"
"Okay." Aurore nodded slightly.
…………
In the evening, her sister's stretching massage and adequate rest allowed Lumian's body to basically recover.
Before going to bed, he put three red chestnut flowers and poplar leaf powder in a bottle on the table in front of the window.
After taking a deep look at them, Lumian got into the bed expectantly and a little nervously.
