In Trier, there are not many people who install prosthetic eyes, but there are definitely quite a few, like this kind of prosthetic eye, transforming a quarter of a face into a machine, whether it is Janna or Franka, I have never seen it before.
But thinking of the monk who was suspected to be the "God of Steam and Machinery" church, the two of them felt normal:
Obsessed with machinery worshiping machinery is the main characteristic of those people!
The monk carrying a calcium carbide lamp and wearing a white apron like a stonemason entered the tunnel step by step, and the emerald prosthetic eye, surrounded by many gears and springs, seemed to have a life of its own, sometimes to the left, sometimes up, scanning the surroundings.
Frank pulled Jenna and motioned for her to stop looking in the direction of the tunnel and quickly retract her gaze so as not to be noticed by the other party.
The two shrank deeper into the hiding place, hiding in a place where the calcium carbide light could not be reached.
The monks of the Church of the Church of Steam and Machinery, dressed in gray robes and without hoods, walked slowly, looking around as they approached the bottom of the Deep Valley Quarry, the area that had collapsed and been buried.
Thanks to the abilities of the "assassin" and the protection of darkness and shadows, Janna and Franka were not discovered until the monk moved away from the tunnel exit before quietly sticking out his head and looking at each other's backs.
The monk carrying the calcium carbide lamp stopped on the side of the collapsed area, stretched out his right palm reflecting the light of iron metal, and held a bulge.
A clicking sound followed, and it seemed that there were multiple huge gears clenching tightly, slowly turning.
The stone wall cracked, and multiple metal chains extended behind each rock.
As a result, these rocks bloomed like flowers, revealing a deep and dark cave.
By the light of the calcium carbide lamp in the monk's hand and relying on the eagle-like vision of the "assassin", Franka and Jane saw a faint white mist filled the cave, and saw arms and thighs embedded in the rock walls there.
Human arms, human thighs!
Some of them are still fresh, some are shriveled, but none of them show signs of rotting.
Jenna and Franka couldn't help but look at each other, seeing the surprise and fear that existed in each other's eyes to different degrees but were real.
As the monk entered the cave, a mechanism was triggered, and the metal chains relaxed at the same time, returning the rock to its original position, reassembling the stone wall, leaving only a few cracks that seemed to symbolize the collapse.
So that's how it is...... I had a preconceived notion that this place was on the verge of collapse, and I had no doubts about those cracks...... Franka suddenly realized that she and Jana had not found the reason for the abnormality.
She took Rajana's arm and said in a low voice:
"Get out of here now, and then find a chance to explore."
Now that you have discovered the problem and mastered the method of opening the secret cave, there is no need to have a head-on conflict with the monk of the "God of Steam and Machinery" church, you can come back at another time!
Jane Na nodded slightly, turned the "Ring of Punishment" on her finger, catted her waist, followed Franka, out of the hiding place, and returned to the gate of the Deep Valley Quarry along the tunnel.
Seeing that she was about to open the door and go out, Franka hurriedly stopped her in a low voice:
"Don't worry."
"Why?" Jian Na looked puzzled.
Franka straightened her back unconsciously, and said with a smile:
"Just one monk comes in doesn't mean only one monk comes to the quarry.
"Maybe the one who left two companions outside just now to prevent bounty hunters and private investigators from breaking in?
"If we just strut out like this, we are likely to expose ourselves and be attacked!
"Moreover, the janitor may have woken up."
Jane Na was a little ashamed when she heard this:
"I understand."
Franka immediately relieved:
"This is all a product of experience, and if you know it now, you won't make similar mistakes in the future."
As she said, she took out a palm-sized mirror and stuffed it into Jane's hand:
"You hold it for me, I'll go out and find a way.
"If I encounter an attack later, you can take this mirror to hide in the darkness at the door and sneak in the direction of leaving the deep valley."
Guessing that Franka was going to use the "mirror stand-in", Jana wasted no time and agreed directly.
After getting ready, Franka carefully pulled open a gap in the heavy wooden door of the Deep Valley Quarry.
There was only the sound of insects and frogs croaking outside, and there was no other movement.
The crack in the door was getting bigger and bigger, and Franka got out and sneaked into the night that the crimson moonlight couldn't shine on.
Jane Na held the mirror hard, her spirit was highly tense, and she was always ready to take action.
After more than ten seconds, Franka returned to the door and said in a low voice:
"Come out, there are no other monks."
Jane Na breathed a sigh of relief silently, flashed out, and closed the wooden door again without causing any movement.
When the two left the deep valley quarry, they looked at the rock wall "hut" at the same time and saw that the janitor was sleeping soundly, but his posture had changed slightly.
Franka stared at it for a few seconds, and found red and swollen marks under the janitor's ears from a considerable distance.
"He's been attacked, and he's in a state of being knocked unconscious instead of being stunned by drugs......" Franka frowned and expressed her observations.
Jian Na remembered the monk with mechanical prosthetic eyes just now, and pointed to the wooden door of the quarry and said:
"Was he knocked unconscious by the one inside?"
Franka nodded slightly:
"Most likely, it seems that he also does not want the janitor to find out that he has entered the quarry.
"Hehe, the janitor should have been knocked unconscious again before he got rid of the drug effect."
Jian Na smiled when she heard this:
"When we stunned him, he might not be sleeping, but he was stunned by someone else."
"......" Franka was stunned for a moment, and sighed sincerely, "If that's the case, I sympathize with him a little."
Every wave of people didn't know that the person in front of them had stunned the janitor, and they all chose to deal with it in their own way, so the janitor kept falling into a coma, again and again.
Jana and Franka did not delay, and took advantage of the darkness to leave the Deep Valley Quarry.
…………
Market Avenue, Breeze Ballroom.
Lumian returned to the café on the second floor, asked for a glass of red wine, and sipped slowly.
After a while, Louis came up, leaned into his ear and said:
"Boss, there are a few more bounty hunters in the Mill Ballroom, and they seem to want to share some benefits."
After the collapse of the Stinger gang's top management, some of the remaining members were taken away by the police, some fled without knowing where they fled, some joined other gangs, and some chose to find a decent job, and those industries were all taken over by different forces at low prices.
In this, the Savoyard Party got the biggest piece of the cake, so that it became understaffed, and several industries were in a semi-free-range state, and from time to time people made trouble to fill the "gap".
Lumian snapped his knuckles and said with a smile:
"You send someone to ask them if they want to be my enemy or my dog."
He found that after he was promoted to "arsonist", he was a little more aggressive than before, and his hands were already a little itchy after not fighting anyone for such a while.
In addition, those who dare to cause trouble in the ballroom nominally belonging to the Sava Party may have one or two extraordinary among those bounty hunters, and Lumian's "Shadow Branch" still lacks the corresponding extraordinary characteristics combination.
Louis replied quite excitedly:
"Yes, boss!"
He quickly turned around and went downstairs to arrange for the thugs to go to the mill dance hall to "inquire".
Seeing that the time was almost there, Lumian, who was planning to go back to the Golden Rooster Hotel to write a letter to the "magician" lady, waited patiently.
In less than two quarters of an hour, Louis took a man up to the second floor.
The man was about thirty years old, dressed in cheap formal clothes, wearing a black top hat, brown hair and brown eyes, with proper facial features, and a burly figure.
As soon as he saw Lumian, he smiled, took off his top hat and said:
"Good evening, boss."
"Are you?" Lumian asked amusedly.
The man replied seriously:
"Boss, didn't you ask me to come over and be your dog?"
"......" was a little stunned for a moment with Lumian's mind and quick wit.
He asked those people if they wanted to be dogs purely to provoke them and see if they could have a not-so-friendly "competition".
After a few seconds, Lumian laughed softly:
"If you come to be a dog, you really come?"
"This is my chance!" The man was not ashamed, but very honored, "I believe that you can truly realize my value by following the leader, and in the future, I may have the opportunity to become your godson!"
How old are you? Softer than the figure of the "giant" Simon...... Lumian asked with interest:
"Why do you think I will give you a chance?"
The man didn't answer immediately, but looked at Louis and Sakota, as if to make them avoid it.
Lumian, who was preparing for a battle, was not worried about being assassinated, so Louis and Sakota left the café.
He then looked at the man and asked with a smile:
"Can you say it now?"
The man cleared his throat and said:
"My name is Lugano. Toscano, an extraordinary person."
"Which way, what is the sequence?" Lumian raised his eyebrows.
Lugano smiled again:
"I am a 'cultivator', sequence 9."
Which path of the "Earth Mother Goddess" Church? Lumian nodded thoughtfully:
"Are you from Feneport?"
"No, I'm from Leston." Lugano smiled, "A few years ago, I became a bounty hunter with a few friends, and from time to time I went to Fenneport and met an extraordinary person, and later, when he died, I got his relics."
Fellow countryman...... Was that person murdered by you, or did something wrong with himself and take advantage of you?" Lumian motioned for Lugano to continue.
Lugano smiled:
"I now hope to become a 'doctor' in Sequence 8, but I still have a lot of money left to buy the corresponding magic medicine main materials, I heard about your deeds, guessed that you are a powerful extraordinary person, and I also know that the Savoyard Party is short of manpower now, so I want to make trouble to see you, hoping to become your assistant, help you manage an industry, and make some hard money.
"'Doctors' are very useful, whether they are ordinary people or extraordinary people."
