Chapter 544 Simple Commission
Fame spread so quickly? Even if the rumors of my hunting of Boorman arrived in Santa Harbor two days earlier than the "Asuka", the client would have to take the time to determine where I lived, whether it was true or false...... Lumian thought that it would take a few days for someone to come to entrust him, so he didn't think about the lady in the normal context at all just now.
He stood up and said to Lugano:
"Please come in, the lady."
After saying that, Lumian bent down and picked up the golden straw hat placed on the small round table, in order to make Louis. Berry's image is more distinctive and easier to remember.
It didn't take long for Lugano to lead a woman in her thirties to walk.
She wore a long white dress with a loose hem, and the surface of her clothes was embroidered with red flowers, and the beauty of her body curves was fully displayed.
Compared with the D'Aliege area on the other side of the mountain, the women of Port Santa advocate more flashy and fancy clothing, which is very romantic and free, which is also the traditional aesthetics of the Kingdom of Fenerport.
The lady with her long brown hair up, who had a fairly healthy complexion, did not bring a maid, and her blue eyes with thick eyelashes turned to Lumian holding a golden straw hat.
Her rosy lips opened and closed as she said a series of words, but Lumian could only hear the name "Louis. Berry" by approximate pronunciation.
Lugano quickly got into working condition and began to translate:
"This lady says, dear Louis. Mr. Berry, I heard about your hunt for the 'devil wizard', and I wonder if you would like to help my family solve a problem."
Lumian's gaze swept over the string of multi-gemstone beads worn on the lady's wrist, and returned to the other party's beautiful and mature face:
"What do you call it?"
"Georgia." After getting Lugano's translation, the lady replied.
Lumian repeated the pronunciation of the other person's name and asked with a smile:
"Mrs. Georgia, what do you want to entrust?"
After listening to Lugano's translation, Georgia said in a plateau dialect with a little local accent:
"An evil creature has appeared in my house, and I want to ask you to help me get rid of it."
Lumian understood several words and probably guessed Georgia's request, but he still looked at Lugano calmly, waiting for him to translate.
After Lugano repeated Georgia's words in Intis, Lumian suddenly laughed:
"I'm sorry, I forgot to ask the beautiful lady to sit down.
"The great adventurer Gelman. Sparrow taught us that politeness is important."
Lumian pointed to the sofa area in the living room, sat down on the sofa by himself, raised his right hand, and tried to stroke Ludwig's head who was eating snacks there in the posture of a godfather.
Ludwig moved his position first, avoiding the act of treating himself as a child.
Seeing Georgia sitting on the single sofa, Lumian gently shook his golden straw hat, leaned forward slightly and said:
"Since it is an evil creature, why not directly find the clergy of the 'Earth Mother Goddess' Church to deal with it?"
Georgia looked at Lugano next to her and listened intently to his relay.
She pursed her slightly thick lips and replied in plateau language:
"We don't want the church to know about this, it will damage our family's reputation."
That's why you entrusted me, a foreigner who will leave after watching the sea prayer ceremony? And it was also after making sure that I had the ability to deal with that evil creature...... Lumian took his gaze away from Lugano and thought for a moment:
"Tell me specifically about the situation of that evil creature."
After a few seconds, Georgia considered the language and said:
"It is like a lizard without a tail, it attacks everyone in the house, it kills several maids and servants, and eats their flesh and blood.
"Our family's bodyguards shot it and wounded it, but we couldn't kill it because it had very strong scales, so we had to drive it to the basement and lock it inside.
"We originally thought it would slowly starve to death, but who knows, almost two weeks later, it is still alive and trying to smash open the basement door."
It doesn't sound dangerous, but you can fight it off with ordinary guns...... They didn't say why the giant tuatar appeared, which seems to be the reason why they are unwilling to ask the "Earth Mother" church and the local government to deal with it...... Lumian thoughtfully compared the few words he understood with Lugano's translation, making sure that the wizard hadn't added or subtracted anything.
He asked lightly:
"Are the bodyguards dead or injured?"
After the translation, Georgia slowly shook her head:
"There are no deaths, two injuries, but not serious, well, that monster will make the whole room feel like it has been dragged into the deep sea, affecting normal operations."
It was like being dragged into the deep sea...... It really has some extraordinary performance, but it seems to be weak...... Deep Sea ...... Lumian suddenly became a little interested and asked about the details seriously.
After some dialogue, Georgia said in a soft voice:
"Louis. Mr. Berry, we are willing to pay 1.5 thousand liso for this, but you need to promise not to publicize it."
1.5 gold liso? According to your description, the monster is worth 5,000 gold liso at most, and the remaining 1 is hush money, right? Lumian smiled and said in a broken plateau language:
"No problem."
Then, as he got up, he said in Intis:
"I want to see the situation on the spot."
Georgia got up and listened to Lugano's translation.
She has a good relationship with Louis. Berry's request was not surprising - she had dealt with many adventurers and bounty hunters, and knew that observing the scene, understanding the target, and preparing carefully were one of the keys to solving problems and surviving in this industry.
"Now?" Georgia asked in confirmation.
Lumian understood the word and replied in the same plateau language:
"Now."
He immediately put on his golden straw hat and walked to the door, adding in Intes:
"Also, prepare a good dinner for me, my godson, my translator."
After listening to the translation, Georgia was stunned for a moment.
She looked at Lumian's back and felt that this adventurer seemed a little different from the ones she had known before.
…………
Santa Harbor, Santa Lana Street.
Located in the northeast of the city, there are multi-storey villas with gardens, lawns, and stables.
Georgia's home is at number 21 on this street, and the five-story villa has brownish-red exterior walls, with statues of angels and saints from the "Earth Mother Goddess" church, and symbols representing waves and fishing.
Wearing a golden straw hat and holding Ludwig with a red schoolbag, Lumian followed Georgia and her maids and servants into the hall of the villa.
This is also a large dance floor, unobstructed above, leading directly to the dome.
As soon as he entered here, Lumian felt that there were hidden eyes behind the circular railings on the second, third, fourth, and fifth floors of the second, third, fourth, and fifth floors.
Sure enough, it is a form of family gathering, and there are really a lot of people...... Lumian didn't look up, smiled, and secretly sighed.
None of those peeking showed up, so Georgia called two bodyguards with legal guns and took Lumian and the others down the stairs to the second basement.
The iron-black gate here was tightly closed.
It seemed that he sensed someone approaching, and the iron door slammed, as if he was being slapped hard by a powerful creature.
"It's inside." Georgia raised her right hand with a complicated expression and pointed to the iron door.
Without Lugano's translation, Lumian understood this phrase perfectly.
He pressed the golden straw hat on top of his head and said in an ordering tone:
"Take my godson to the living room for dessert before dinner."
As he spoke, he walked towards the subway door without looking back.
After listening to Lugano's narration, Georgia hurriedly led Ludwig back to the ground with her maids, and one of the bodyguards quickly caught up with Lumian with a solemn expression and handed him a silver-black key.
Immediately afterwards, the two bodyguards pulled out their pistols, squatted and stood up, and aimed at the iron door at the same time to prevent the monster from taking the opportunity to escape.
Lumian slowly inserted the key into the keyhole and clicked it open.
He immediately threw down the key and pushed the iron door back with one hand.
In an instant, the figure of the monster came into his eyes:
It was a humanoid lizard, with a large number of shiny, strong scales scattered on its body, and the areas that were not covered with scales revealed smooth and evil snake skin.
Both of the monster's eyes were erect, the eyes were very pale, almost transparent, and there were many sharp teeth in its mouth that formed a whirlpool.
Almost at the same time, Lumian felt that the air around him had become quite heavy, wrapping around him like a shackle, which obviously affected his normal movements.
This also had a damp feeling, making him feel as if he had dived into the deep sea and was under pressure from all directions.
The humanoid lizard pounced on him, and Lumian's body actively leaned towards the enemy as if attracted by the vortex.
But the corners of his mouth always had an obvious smile, and he tried to turn his body sideways without haste.
Suddenly, there seemed to be a hidden power burst out in his body, causing him to break free from the shackles of the air.
Lumian quickly half-sideways his body, and his right fist swung out from the bottom up.
With a sudden, the crimson and almost white flames first ignited from the face of his fist, and then spread to his forearm, as if dragging out a brilliant fire snake.
Bang!
This punch hit the humanoid lizard's chest and abdomen, and the fire compressed violently.
Boom!
The humanoid lizard flew backwards, the shiny scales between its chest and abdomen splashed, and a huge wound was directly blasted out.
Lumian didn't chase after him, put one hand in his pocket, changed his right fist to his palm, and pushed forward gently.
Clusters of crimson and almost white fireballs condensed in front of him, roaring into the wound between the humanoid lizard's chest and abdomen.
Boom!
The monster was suddenly torn apart, and flesh and blood were thrown all over the ground.
Lumian looked at it for a few seconds, pressed the golden straw hat above his head, turned his body, and walked towards the stairs leading to the ground.
The two bodyguards with guns still maintained their original posture, and they had not yet come back to their senses to figure out what had happened.
Lumian didn't "wake up" them, and went up the stairs step by step.
Georgia on the ground heard the explosion, left the small living room with Lugano, walked to the staircase, and happened to see Lumian come up.
"Are you sure of the situation?" The lady asked with concern.
Lumian smiled and said:
"It's solved."
