Chapter 551 "The Governor of the Sea" (Asking for a monthly pass on the last day of 2023)
Injury? Injured by that humanoid lizard? After listening to Lugano's judgment, Lumian made a random guess.
At this time, he was standing by the carriage, his eyes naturally looking at the situation around the mansion of the "Governor of the Sea".
It is very close to the pier of the fishing village, where you can see boats sailing deep into the sea and a few fishing nets fixed to the reef, and at the door of the nearby houses, many women are processing the seafood they have caught before and making them into salted fish jerky, etc., and the children are running along the various roads in the village, playing different games that are very childish.
This is a different scenery from Kordu Village, but the implied essence is very similar.
In front of the "Governor of the Sea" mansion is a large square, where Lumian and others stand, waiting for the old lady Marta, Ruvio. Paco and the others came out.
Several children ran to this place, occupied a corner, put down a lot of shells, and played a role-playing game.
The oldest of them, wearing a linen shirt, said loudly:
"I am the 'Governor of the Sea'!"
"I'll be a guard!" "I'm a mother." Other children responded.
The youngest one asked bouncingly:
"What about me? What about me?"
The child who played the role of "Governor of the Sea" thought for a moment:
"You are a child of the sea."
"Children of the sea"? What is it? Although Lumian didn't look over there, he was listening carefully to what the children were discussing.
These little guys really don't understand what many terms and many things mean, but it is precisely because of this that they will not have any sense of secrecy, and the adults in Milo Village will not be particularly wary of such a young child, and their words are likely to reveal some information, which will be remembered by them and reflected in daily games.
One of the keys to Lumian being able to grasp the secrets of many families in Kordu Village was to make the children talk and play games, and then they would "share" many things at home from their own perspective.
After listening to the children's discussion for a while, Lumian pressed the golden straw hat on his head and went straight to the gate of the "Governor of the Sea" mansion.
Lugano was stunned for a moment and quickly followed.
At the entrance of the building, which looked like a church and a place of worship, there were two "guards" wearing brownish-green shirts and trousers, each holding a rifle, looking at Lumian.
"Stop!" The "guards" shouted loudly.
Lumian continued on his own, and said in Intis, as if nothing had happened:
"I don't understand what you're talking about."
After brushing the floor, the two "guards" raised their rifles and aimed at the outsiders wearing golden straw hats.
Lugano hurriedly translated:
"They won't let you in."
Lumian ignored his guide, and did not speed up but did not slow down as he approached the gray brick building on a white background.
A hint of coldness flashed in the blue eyes of the two "guards", and they pressed the trigger with their fingers.
At this moment, the outsider wearing the golden straw hat disappeared in their eyes.
disappeared into the shadow of the governor's mansion illuminated by the sun.
In the next second, behind them, Lumian's figure grew out from a certain shadow in the foyer and continued to walk forward.
It's like the distance in between has been erased.
The senses of the two "guards" were quite keen, and they quickly turned their bodies and looked behind them, but at this time, Lumian had completely entered the building and left the foyer.
Lugano stood outside in a daze, not knowing whether to take the risk to keep up, act as a translator, or ensure his own safety first.
After passing through the foyer, Lumian suddenly found that the space in front of him had become deep, and the dome, which was only a dozen meters high, gave people a feeling that it could never be reached, and there were various reliefs on the water blue walls around them, which were not the common statues of angels, saints and other statues with religious elements, but those things in the sea, including starfish, corals, and many fish, lobsters and crabs.
Almost at the same time, Lumian felt that these reliefs came to life, casting a dangerous gaze at himself.
No, it's not that they are alive, it's that the building is suspected to be alive, instinctively repelling unauthorized intruders and exerting layers of pressure.
Lumian's steps suddenly became heavy, as if he was carrying hundreds of kilograms of grain on his back.
As far as he could see, Marta, the old grandmother of the Paco family, knelt on the ground with her legs side by side, Ruvio. Paco stood a little further away, and the two maids were also kneeling, but with their backs turned to face the foyer, as if they did not dare to look at a certain big man.
Directly opposite the Gaoyuan Dome was a "carpet" made of fish skin, on which lay a young man lying on his back, wearing a retro white robe, supporting his upper body with his elbows, quietly looking at Marta who was kneeling at an angle.
There were also four beautiful girls on the "carpet", all wearing gorgeous long dresses, one kneeling behind the young man and acting as his pillow, the other slowly peeling the late-ripening grapes, bringing the crystal clear flesh to the young man's mouth, and the other two holding trays of wine, food, and towels, each standing on one side, with a prominent bulge and a radiant motherhood.
Seeing Lumian break in, the young man seemed a little panicked, he sat up straight and leaned completely into the arms of the girl behind.
Rubio noticed the abnormality, turned his body, and saw the great adventurer Louis he had hired. Berry.
His pupils dilated slightly, and he quickly said in Inthys:
"Why did you come in?"
Lumian then stopped and smiled:
"I'm a very ethical adventurer, you've been in it for too long, I'm worried about accidents."
As he spoke, he felt that different parts of the building seemed to be looking at him, with a dangerous meaning.
Rubio was silent for a moment and said:
"Don't worry, just wait outside for us to come out."
"Okay." Lumian laughed, turned around, and walked slowly to the foyer.
He acted as if those dangerous gazes were not there.
Back in the foyer, he was greeted by the two "guards" and the rifles in their hands.
Lumian didn't even look at them and walked over to them.
The expressions of the two "guards" changed a few times, but in the end they didn't shoot, allowing Lumian to leave the mansion of the "Governor of the Sea".
Lugano breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that he should not have to be chased by the people of Milo Village.
Although he was extraordinary, he was still a little scared when faced with more than one soldier with a gun.
He glanced at Lumian and didn't dare to ask the employer why he had to break in.
Lumian sat down next to the coachman again, tucked his legs up, one shrunk and the other stood up, using his right arm to rest.
Nearly ten minutes later, Ruvio. Paco and his mother, Marta, who was being supported, walked out of the church-like building.
Ruvio glanced at Lumian deeply and said:
"Let's go, the 'Governor of the Sea' has agreed to my mother going to church for treatment."
That young man is the current "Governor of the Sea"? He looks weak and panicked, what does he use to protect the fishermen and maritime merchants of Santa Harbor for a year? Or maybe he has little ability in his own right, but has a special symbol? Or maybe the "April Fool's Day" prank caused an accident at last year's sea prayer ceremony, and the "Governor of the Sea" failed to receive the gift and appointment of the sea, but the members of the Fisheries Association were afraid of causing panic and concealed the matter, still treating him as the real "Governor of the Sea"? He must have known what was going on...... Lumian nodded thoughtfully.
He smiled and asked Rubio in Intis:
"Do you have to thank the Mother Goddess for her love, or the governor's permission?"
Rubio did not respond and followed his mother Marta into the carriage.
Lugano quickly sat on the other side of the coachman, watched the horses circle half a circle, turned around, and gradually moved away from the mansion of the "Governor of the Sea".
Shout...... Lugano said with sincere emotion:
"This commission doesn't seem to be dangerous......"
Except for the fact that the employer had to break into the mansion of the "Governor of the Sea", there was no accident.
Lumian laughed and said:
"That's because I'm here.
"If it were just you, those watchers hiding in the shadows might have found it."
Lugano was silent, and then saw the employer point to the "Governor of the Sea" mansion, which looked more like a church, and uttered a plateau language word by word:
"Blow it up, yes, how about it?"
Lugano shuddered when he heard this, and all his hair stood up.
He looked at the coachman who was stunned and advised his employer in Intis:
"It will be hunted down by the people of the entire Santa Harbor."
Lumian smiled, retracted his gaze, and didn't say anything more.
Only then did Lugano suddenly wake up:
The employer is tempting!
Otherwise, why did he have to say that sentence in the plateau language he hadn't learned yet?
This is testing the reaction of the coachman and Mrs. Marta in the car!
Lumian listened to the communication between Marta and Ruvio and found that the mother and son hardly spoke much in the carriage, remaining silent for a long time.
Of course, this could also be due to Marta's poor health and only occasionally moaning in pain.
The carriage was driving in the direction of leaving Milo Village, and suddenly, the coachman pulled the reins and stopped the two horses.
This is because an old man with a black crutch appeared in front of the vehicle.
His hair was dark and white, his eyes were as blue as the sea, he was wearing fishermen's clothes common in Milo Village, and his face was deeply wrinkled, as if he could pinch mosquitoes.
"Mr. Oro ......" the coachman whispered, his expression obviously tense, and he didn't know how to put his hands and feet.
Juan. Oro? The president of the fisheries association, the former village chief of Milo Village? Lumian changed the posture of his body with some understanding.
Juan. Oro was supported by a young man who was somewhat similar to him, and with the help of crutches, he slowly approached Paco's carriage.
Neither Ruvio nor Marta in the carriage spoke.
At this moment, Juan. Auror had an extra revolver on his forehead, and the cold muzzle was directly against his flesh and blood.
Lumian raised his chin slightly, looked at the president of the fisheries guild, and asked in Intis with a calm expression:
"Who allowed you to approach this carriage?"
ps: On the last day of 2023, ask for a monthly pass~ Regardless of whether there is an accident or not, today there will be the first increase in the annual list at 0:5~
