Seeing that it was getting late, Lumian planned to study Aurore's sorcery notes until midnight, and then go to Franka tomorrow morning to ask if the "Harvest Festival" was sold, and ask her to help pay attention to auxiliary materials such as fire salamander blood and magma pyroxene powder.
Uh, Franka is a person who sleeps late and wakes up late, I go to her now, she must be awake, tomorrow morning before 11 o'clock, she will mostly be asleep...... In a flash of thought, Lumian changed his mind, packed up the wooden table, got up and left the Golden Rooster Hotel.
3 White Coat Street, in front of Apartment 601.
After Lumian knocked a few times, he saw Franka, who was wearing a lake blue silk nightdress with long flaxen hair, open the door.
"What's the matter this time?" The "witch" asked with a smile as she got out of the way.
Lumian didn't answer immediately, looked around and said:
"Jane Na is not here?"
Franka unconsciously put away her smile:
"Are you here to find her? She doesn't have to sing tonight, she's already home."
Lumian nodded:
"That's good, lest you let me climb the outer wall and leave later."
"......" The corners of Franca's mouth twitched, "Are you here to laugh at me?"
After a simple prank, Lumian sat down on the gray couch.
He was about to speak, and Franka, who had curled up in the easy chair, causing the hem of her nightdress to slip up obviously, smiled and said:
"You weren't in the market area in the afternoon, so you didn't see a good show.
"The police cleaned all the places involved in the gang, and Brignel, Simon, Crystal, and Blake were all taken into the police station, and they were almost arrested by the official extraordinary people as typical treatments. Artois asked him to put pressure on the two major churches and the police department, and after throwing a few scapegoats, it can be regarded as calming things down."
Yuge. Artois really had a connection with the boss...... Lumian laughed:
"You weren't caught?"
"I didn't go to those places today, and I played 'fighting evil' with Jian Na and my top dancer all afternoon, why was I arrested? So, there's nothing wrong with being lazy, my favorite saying is that lazy people have the blessing of being lazy." Franka responded amusedly.
"I've never heard of it." Lumian asked casually, "Where is the saying?"
"I made it up." Franka replied nonchalantly.
Lumian pondered Franca's description just now, and asked rhetorically as if to verify his own guess:
"Did Jane propose not to go out in the afternoon and play cards in the room?"
"How do you know?" Franka was quite surprised.
She looked Lumian up and down, her eyes became suspicious:
Couldn't it be that Jianna herself told him, they had so much communication in private?
Lumian didn't hide it, and said calmly:
"Charlie came to me today, and Jane happened to be there, and I learned from him that the official Extraordinary Association and the General Police Department were doing a big cleaning of the gang members in the market area this afternoon.
"I told Jane to keep it a secret, so as not to affect Charlie, it seems that she is indeed very trustworthy, but she just dragged you into the apartment in her own way."
"No wonder you're not here in the afternoon." Franka suddenly realized.
She was a little complacent:
"Jana's heart is still towards me!"
After sighing with satisfaction, Franka asked vigilantly:
"Why did Jane go to find you?"
"'Black Scorpion' Roger was killed, and she felt that I, a person who always couldn't get along with the Stinger Gang, was very suspicious." Lumian smiled.
Franka said half-relieved, half-amused:
"This matter was actually carried by the 'Aurora Society'.
"Since I came to Trier, I have seen in the newspapers every once in a while that something has happened in a certain area, and the terrorist organization 'Aurora Society' announced the news that it is responsible for it.
This matter should indeed be the responsibility of the "Aurora Society"...... After Lumian followed Franka for a few laughs, he brought the topic back on track:
"I took the opportunity to attend an occult party in the afternoon and got the 'Arsonist' magic potion formula, and I also had clues to the corresponding main materials."
"Good luck." Franka's eyes widened slightly, "If it weren't for Intis, I would have doubted if you were lying to me, that is, in Intis, the 'Arsonist' magic potion formula is so common and easy to encounter."
Lumian made a request:
"Please help me keep an eye on the blood of the fire salamander, the powder of magma pyroxene, and the red-crowned impatiens, which are auxiliary materials."
He didn't mention the holy star lily, because it is more common and is available in larger florists.
"No problem." Franka asked in detail about the weight of each ingredient, and finally said, "Do you have enough money? I mean the money to buy the main materials of the magic potion."
In her opinion, the "Arsonist" magic potion formula should have emptied Lumian's savings.
Lumian said:
"I was just about to ask if the 'Harvest Festival' was sold."
"How can it be so fast? It's only been a day! I haven't had time to attend any occult meetings yet." Franka paused, "If you are in a hurry to use money, I can borrow you some, anyway, I won't need to think about the next magic medicine for a while."
"It's not in a hurry." Lumian thought for a moment.
His auxiliary materials have not yet been collected.
Franka estimated and said:
"According to my experience, the negative effects of the 'Harvest Festival' are difficult to avoid, and they cannot be sold too expensively, only between 1 and 1.2 thousand Felkin.
"When you need money, I can directly give you 6,000 Pelkin, just when I buy out the 'Harvest Festival', in addition, I can lend you 20,000 to 30,000 Fairkin, but you need to pay me back within three months."
"Okay." Lumian was not polite and agreed.
He immediately took out the "Fallen Mercury" and said to Franka: "I still need to find someone who can repair extraordinary weapons."
Franka looked at the short knife with a cascading pattern and asked suspiciously:
"What is the value of cultivating extraordinary weapons? Anyway, the energy will run out."
"It's so useful, it's a while to be able to use it for a while." Lumian certainly couldn't say that he had a way to replenish energy for Fallen Mercury.
Of course, that must wait until he himself reaches the 6th level of the sequence and can withstand the effects of pollution more, otherwise that guy from Thermibolos will probably have to take the opportunity to do something.
"Yes." Franka was impressed by the performance of "Fallen Mercury" in the battle to kill "Black Scorpion" Roger, "I'll help you ask, but this extraordinary weapon that is suspected of being contaminated, there should be no 'craftsman' who will take over, for fear of bringing bad effects to himself."
"Craftsman"...... An extraordinary person who can repair magical items and extraordinary weapons? After Lumian and Franka exchanged a few more words, they left room 601, returned to Market Avenue, and entered the Breeze Ballroom.
Although it was close to midnight, it was still quite lively, Lumian entered the finance office in the corridor on the second floor, opened the safe there, and asked the accountant and cashier on the night shift:
"How much cash do you have now?"
The accountant was a lady in her thirties, wearing glasses and very elegant.
She said with a little trembling:
"Almost 2.8 thousand Fairkin, and some change."
At this time, Lumian had already opened the door of the safe, saw the stacks of banknotes, and saw the coins that were shining with golden light.
He calculated and said calmly:
"Give me 1.2 thousand Felkin."
"Huh?" The accountant and the cashier made a scared voice at the same time.
Although Mr. Charles is the protector of the Breeze Ballroom, he can't take so much cash in one go!
The accounting lady winked at the younger cashier lady and asked her to go to the next office to find the dance hall manager René.
This Gardner. Martin's designated operator was dressed in formal attire, glanced at the safe and said:
"Mr. Shire, why did you take away 1.2 thousand Felkin?"
"Personal expenses." Lumian responded flatly.
René pondered for a few seconds and said:
"No problem.
"In the first two years, Baron Brignel took between 40,000 and 50,000 Felkin every year from the ballroom, but when he handed over before, he took away 1.5 Felkin that originally belonged to the first half of the year, and now it is not in the second half of the year, Mr. Shire, how about this 1.2 Felkin as an advance?"
"Yes." Lumian doesn't care what name he uses, he only needs this 1.2 thousand Felkin!
After putting the cash into the cloth bag, Lumian breathed a silent sigh of relief.
The purchase of 3 Felkin for the extraordinary characteristics of "Arsonist" is almost complete, just wait for the news of auxiliary materials!
——He now has a total of 26,710 Felkin, and the "Harvest Festival" can still be worth 6,000.
After leaving the Breeze Ballroom, Lumian, who was carrying a large amount of cash, suddenly felt a little uneasy.
He was not afraid of being robbed, but worried about a conflict, breaking his money bag and breaking the banknotes.
You have to put it in a safe place, you can't keep it like this...... Lumian walked forward along Market Avenue, intending to turn to the safe house rented on White Coat Street.
Not long after, he saw the brightly lit office of a member of parliament in the market area.
It is a classical earthy yellow four-story building, with a statue on each of the top two floors, namely the "Sunbird" and the "Giant Gear".
The celebration dinner isn't over yet...... Lumian shook his head contemptuously.
He thought for a moment, sat in the shadows across the street, and observed the guests leaving the banquet hall.
Yuge, who can be supported by the Sava Party and the Stinger Gang, and has been praised by the "Moon Lady". Artois is definitely not simple, some of the guests he invited may be "problem people" related to the plot of the "Iron Blood Cross".
As time passed minute by minute, more and more guests left the office of the congressman, Lumian did not find any suspicious people, but could only be sure that most of them belonged to the upper class, all of them were well-dressed, and many faces had appeared in newspapers of all sizes.
Suddenly, he saw a familiar figure.
It was Gardner with a friendly temperament, fleshy cheeks, black sideburns with a few silver hairs, and brown-reddish eyes. Martin!
Gardner, the boss of the Sava Party. Martin!
Gardner, who was wearing a tuxedo and a dark bow tie, seemed to notice, suddenly turned his head sideways, and looked at the shadow where Lumian was sitting.
Lumian chuckled unconsciously in his heart.
His thoughts were electric, he made a decision in an instant, stood up, and greeted Gardner. Martin walked over.
Gardner. Martin looked at him with deep eyes, showing no emotion.
"Good evening, boss." After getting closer, Lumian lowered his head and greeted.
Gardner. Martin asked casually:
"What are you doing here?"
Lumian replied honestly:
"I came out of the Breeze Ballroom and saw that the dinner in the councilor's office was not over yet, and I was going to take a look at Yuge. Which guests did Monsieur Artois invite, lest he offend those who should not be offended later."
Gardner. Martin nodded lightly and said peacefully:
"It's a good habit."
He immediately signaled that Lumian could leave, and he took his butler Faustino towards the approaching private carriage.
Lumi moved with peace of mind, followed him, and took the initiative to say:
"Boss, I advanced 1.2 thousand Felkin in the dance hall today."
