Breeze Ballroom, in front of the white ball statue made of countless skulls.
Lumian stopped here and looked at the inscription written in Intis for a few seconds - "Here they sleep, waiting for happiness and hope to come."
He retracted his gaze and walked towards the door.
The two thugs wearing white shirts and black coats turned sideways at the same time and greeted them respectfully:
"Good morning, Ciel."
They had heard rumors that the young man had killed Margot and severely injured Wilson in just a few days, and they knew that he had joined the Savoie Party.
"Good morning, my cabbages." Lumian smiled and responded with the "nickname" of the Daliege region.
There were no people in the Breeze Ballroom yet, and the waiters were arranging their seats and cleaning the floor, unhurried.
Lumian was looking for Louis, whom he had known before, after all, such a trivial matter didn't need to alarm Baron Brignel, but he saw Missili sitting at the bar who had been following him.
Missili was still wearing the peaked cap and drinking a rye beer.
Lumian walked over with a smile.
Misiri sensed someone approaching and habitually swept it out of the corner of his eye.
Suddenly, his whole body froze, as if he was frozen there.
In the next second, he jumped off the high stool and turned to Lumian, a flattering smile on his face:
"Good morning, Ciel."
Missili also heard about Ciel killing Maggot and throwing Wilson directly from the fourth floor of the "Golden Rooster Hotel".
This made him extremely glad that after being caught following Ciel before, he did not hold on to the end, otherwise with the other party's style, he would have been buried in a corner of the underground Trier.
This is a real ruthless person, he kills people when he says he kills, and he throws you downstairs when he says he will throw you downstairs without any hesitation!
Lumian smiled:
"Just called Ciel, it doesn't seem respectful enough?"
After successfully seeing Missili's face turn white, Lumian added:
"I don't know when I will be called Sir Charles."
This is both a joke and a subtle indication that he wants to "work hard", "work hard", and become the leader of the Sava Party as soon as possible.
"Soon, soon." Missili laughed accompanyingly.
His true thought was: I can call you Sir right now as long as you want, just like a baron is not a real baron, that is more of a nickname and self-title.
Lumian sat down at the bar and patted the high stool next to him:
"Sit down, I have something to ask you."
Misili quickly sat down, pointed to the rye beer in front of him and said:
"Would you like a drink?"
"Let's have a glass of 'Rangers'." Lumian was not polite at all.
"Ranger" refers to an orange-pomegranate-flavored beer that is a full two ricks more expensive than rye beer.
Misili felt a little distressed, but still shouted to the bartender:
"A cup of 'Rangers'."
Then, he turned his head to the side and smiled at Lumian:
"What do you want to ask?"
Lumian waited until the large orange beer was pushed in front of him before asking:
"How did you join our Savoyard party?"
"I am a Savoyard." Misiri pointed to his slightly frosty face, "I came to Trier to find a job, but the fellow villager who provided me with a place to live has long since joined the Savoyard party."
The Savoyard Party was originally established by the Savoyard people who worked as coolies, waiters, and hawkers in the honest market area, they had a tough personality, dared to fight, and were not afraid of sacrifice, and soon had a territory.
Nodding slightly, Lumian continued to ask:
"Baron Brignel is the boss of the entire Savoyard party?"
"No." Missili looked at Lumian with a stunned gaze.
He chose to join without even understanding the basic situation of our Sava Party?
Moreover, he also killed Maggot for our Sava party and severely injured Wilson!
Lumian took a sip of orange-pomegranate-flavored beer and said with a smile:
"I always thought that Baron Brignel was our boss, with his style, with his strength, how could he not be the boss?"
Missili was terrified when he heard this, and just wanted to reach out and cover Ciel's mouth.
Can these words be said in such a public place?
If that person hears about it, his attitude towards the baron will definitely change!
Missili quickly explained:
"The baron is mainly responsible for the Breeze Ballroom, Market Avenue and usury matters, and similar to him, there are also 'Mouse' Crystal, who is in charge of the smuggling business, Simon, the 'giant' who manages the dance halls on Nightingale Street, Franka, who is in charge of the 'Red Boots' on White Coat Street, and Blake, who is in charge of half of the honest market.
"Above them, there is a real boss, but I don't know who it is, and I haven't seen it."
Speaking of this, Missili lowered his voice:
"I only heard that he is a serious businessman, a member of the Savoie Chamber of Commerce, and his business is not small."
A member of the Savoie Chamber of Commerce? It sounds like the Savoyard Chamber of Commerce supports such a gang to deal with some shady things and guard against competitors...... Lumian combined his wandering experiences, Aurore's words, and the books, magazines, and newspapers at home to make a certain guess.
At this time, hearing that Charles had arrived at the Breeze Ballroom, Louis, who had been following Baron Brignel, hurried downstairs and went straight to the bar.
He was really worried about what trouble that extremely daring country boy would cause again!
Seeing Lumian chatting with Missili, he sat down on the other side and pretended to be inadvertently tempted:
"Came to the Breeze Ballroom so early?"
"I have something I want to ask you for help." Lumian smiled.
Louis, who smiled so much that there were still bruising marks on his forehead, trembled:
"What's the matter?"
Seeing that they seemed to be about to get down to business, Misiri made an excuse and took the rye beer, left the bar, and moved closer to the dance floor.
Lumian retracted his gaze and said slowly:
"Help me get the lizard's eyes, the stones in the eagle's nest and the snake's venomous sac."
He did not say all the materials needed for the "Art of Prophecy", and planned to obtain them in several places.
"What do you want these things for?" As soon as Louis heard this, he felt that the three items were evil and weird.
Lumian laughed:
"Do you remember how Maggot died?"
Louis's scalp instantly went numb, feeling that the other party was threatening him, and he succeeded!
I really didn't want to scare you this time...... Lumian laughed secretly and said:
"I gave him a knife smeared with poison."
"Yes." Louis remembered the conversation between Charles and Baron Brignel.
Seeing that this guy still didn't understand the true meaning he wanted to express, Lumian couldn't help but curse in his heart:
"Why are you stupider than Charlie?"
He sighed and said:
"Those things are used to make another kind of poison."
"What do you want to do?" Louis almost stood up.
He suspected that this guy was going to get into trouble again.
"Self-defense." Lumian was concise.
Louis couldn't find anything to blame, so he had to take a breath and say:
"I'll have someone collect those three things for you."
He then repeated the names of the materials to avoid mistakes.
After Lumian confirmed, he took a sip of "Ranger" and asked instead:
"Have you ever heard of a 'different' cabaret?"
Louis looked at Lumian with a wary gaze and said:
"You'd better not mess with them, the owner of the dance hall, Timmons, and the police commissioner of the Observatory District seem to be friends, and there seems to be a mysterious organization behind them.
Each district of Trier has a General Police Bureau headed by a police commissioner.
The full name of the Commissioner of Police is the Commissioner of the Trier Police Commission, which is headed by the Minister of Police in Trier.
No wonder the Stinger Gang didn't dare to ask Timmons for the arrears...... Lumian nodded thoughtfully.
Seeing that Louis was always worried that he wanted to cause trouble, he deliberately asked again:
"Who are the other leaders of the Stinger Gang and Magot, and who is their boss?"
What do you want to do?" Louis almost blurted out.
Could it be that Ciel wants to kill all the strong men of the Stinger Gang?
This is too delusional, isn't it?
Louis tried to calm down and said:
"You don't need to understand for the time being."
Lumian smiled, didn't ask any more questions, and drank the glass of "Ranger".
…………
Observatory area, near the catacombs.
Lumian found Aosta sitting behind the bonfire. Trul.
He smiled mockingly:
"You are the most dedicated person I have ever met."
Seven days a week, I come here every day to deceive people.
"I also want to go to the beach for a bath, but I still owe so much money." It was not that Aosta had not considered taking the steam train out of Trier and not paying the remaining debts, but as soon as he arrived at the steam train station, he was blocked by Baron Brignel and beaten severely.
This made him quite afraid of Baron Brignel's abilities and did not dare to make similar attempts again.
"Help me collect something." Lumian sat down and said directly, "If you are paid, I will give you an extra 5 Ferkin for each item."
Aosta. Trul's eyes lit up suddenly:
"What do you want?"
"The entrails of a lynx, the tongue of a hyena, the bone marrow of a stag, just a deadly herb." Lumian looked at the bonfire and said.
"It's harder to obtain." Aosta tried to bargain.
He had already thought about going to a restaurant in the Observatory area that made game.
Lumian ignored him at all and changed the subject:
"Where can I find water monsters in Trier?"
Aosta thought for a moment and said:
"The catacombs are close to the Serenzo River, there is an underground river, and from time to time some people say that they have encountered water monsters.
"There are occasional ones along the Serenzo River, but it seems that they were quickly resolved by the people of 'Purifier' or 'Mechanical Heart'."
Lumian nodded:
"Do you know the 'different' cabaret?"
"I know." Aosta pointed up, "It's the old street next to Purgatory Square."
"1 Felkin, take me there." Lumian stood up.
He planned to take a look on the spot again to understand, but if it didn't work, forget it.
Not long after, Aosta led Lumian back to the ground, turned into the old street near the square, and stopped in front of a very old building.
The building is grayish-blue, retaining the pre-Rosell style:
Triangular friezes, herringbone roofs and windows with lead strip frames.
The "different" cabaret is located on the ground floor of that building, and the door is shaped like a huge mouth.
It was afternoon at this time, and a carriage stopped on the side of the road, and three men and a woman walked down.
They were all wearing short dark suits and approached the "different" cabaret step by step.
When they were about to reach the door, the three men and one woman took out a monocle at the same time and put it on their right eye.
Seeing this scene, Lumian turned his head to the side in confusion and looked at Aosta.
Aosta explained with a smile:
"This is a 'different' dance hall rule, and those who want to enter must wear short suits and monocles."
