Chapter 555 Falsehood and Truth (Asking for a double monthly pass at the beginning of the month)
Faced with the current "Governor of the Sea" for help, Lumian was not surprised at all.
He raised his left hand, touched his ear, and said in Intis:
"What are you talking about?
"I only understood the word 'help.'"
The current "Governor of the Sea" pretending to be a woman was dumbfounded, as if he didn't expect that there was a language barrier between the two sides.
He went to great lengths and risked his life to run to this street to wait for Louis. Berry, but he couldn't understand what the other party said, and he couldn't pass on what he requested!
Lumian maintained a character that did not understand the plateau language, and calmly took out a dark red absorbent fountain pen and a stack of sticky notes, and handed it over:
"Write down everything you want to say, and I'll find someone to translate it."
This time, he still used Intis, but he gestured with a pen to tell the other person what to do.
If this "Governor of the Sea" is still illiterate and does not know how to write the plateau language at all, it will be troublesome...... Can you only force communication with individual words and body language? I don't want to expose my high-altitude language right now...... Lumian thought with concern.
Whether it is Intis or Fenneport, there are quite a few illiterates.
The "Governor of the Sea" was stunned for a moment, and then understood the great adventurer Louis. Berry, he took the absorbent pen and sticky note paper and began to write.
Lumian stared calmly with an expression, although he was on the opposite side, but with the "hunter's" vision and spatial imagination ability, he could still see clearly what the other party was writing:
"Please help me rescue me from Santa Harbor!
"I'm not the real 'Governor of the Sea'!"
Not the real "Governor of the Sea"...... Lumian controlled the urge to raise his eyebrows and didn't ask questions directly, maintaining a stare as if he hadn't read those words at all.
He wanted to see what the current "Governor of the Sea" would write, and then think about how to ask questions.
The man in women's clothing paused for two seconds and continued:
"The real 'Governor of the Sea' died during last year's sea prayer ceremony."
Dead? The real "Governor of the Sea" died during the sea prayer ceremony? Seeing this, Lumi An's heart suddenly burst into great joy.
Finally saw the tails of the core members of "April Fool's Day"!
One of the results of their prank last year was that the scheduled "Governor of the Sea" failed to successfully hold the sea prayer ceremony, suffered a backlash from extraordinary powers, and lost his life!
This is also related to the owner of the Solo Hotel, Ota. Guillaume's son, who works as a junior clerk in a government department, revealed that the situation of increased shipwrecks, decreased fish catches, and poor trade was in line with the situation.
The fake "Governor of the Sea" moves quickly, just like someone will chase you behind you at any time:
"I was inspired by Juan. Oro and the Fisheries Guild chose to impersonate the 'Governor of the Sea' for a year, so as not to let the fishermen and merchants know that they had made a big mistake and made a mistake, causing the sea prayer ceremony to fail, which had not happened in the past few hundred years.
"I know this secret, they will definitely not let me leave alive, and when the 'Governor of the Sea' handover ceremony is completed and I enter the vigil, I will definitely be killed.
"I don't want to pretend to be the 'Governor of the Sea' at all, it's blasphemy against the sea, but they pointed a gun at me and told me that they had killed someone who was unwilling to cooperate with them.
"Neither the church nor the government is willing to take care of the fisheries association, and you are the only one who dares to break into the mansion of the 'Governor of the Sea' and intimidate Juan with a gun. Aurora's people, I can only ask you for help, this year, I have also saved a lot of money, I can give it to you, 10 gold liso!
"In the past few days, I have heard about your deeds, I believe you have this strength, I beg you to help me!"
The level of education is not low...... Lumian looked at the three notes that had been written, and felt that the fake "Governor of the Sea" did not look like ordinary fishermen, hawkers and workers in terms of grammar and vocabulary.
Shout...... After writing down the reason for the request, the fake "Governor of the Sea" put down the absorbent pen and pushed three sticky notes full of highland words to Lumian.
Lumian only glanced at it, and then considered using plateau words and body language:
"Help?
"Where's your family?"
The fake "Governor of the Sea" quickly wrote down the answer:
"My parents passed away a few years ago, and I had no other relatives, I was originally an employee of a fishing company."
No wonder Juan. Auror and the others dared to "kidnap" this person as the "Governor of the Sea", and the "Earth Mother Goddess" Church just didn't care about the internal affairs of the Fisheries Guild, if it really affected other citizens, they would still deal with it...... Lumian put on a posture of asking now and finding someone to translate the answer later, and said:
"Maiden, pregnant?"
He was asking what was going on with the maids in the "Governor of the Sea" mansion and why they were pregnant.
The fake "Governor of the Sea" wore a blue veil and did not show any change in expression, and his right hand trembled slightly and wrote:
"The 'Governor of the Sea' will be treated the same as the ruler of Port Santa, and can freely designate Milo Village, the Fisheries Guild, and anyone from those maritime merchant families as his maid and guard, do whatever he wants, or come directly to his door and enjoy the treatment of his master.
"I couldn't hold back."
Seeing this, Lumian almost laughed out loud.
In a prisoner-like state, still thinking about doing that kind of thing? Or, do you feel that you can't escape and will definitely die, so hurry up and enjoy it when you can?
The false "Governor of the Sea" also wrote:
"I can still tax those people and force their market share, and they will listen to me, but I don't dare to go too far, otherwise Juan. Oro will whip me with crutches in private and threaten to kill me."
The money you saved was deducted from this? Well, there is no part that controls the weather and sea tides, after all, it is a fake governor...... After Lumian took the newly written note paper from the fake "Governor of the Sea", he thought for a moment and said in a lame way:
"Originally, Governor, where?"
This is the whereabouts of those "Governors of the Sea" before asking.
——The battle nun Noalia of the Order of Abundance did not mention the relevant situation before, I don't know if she thought it was not important, or she didn't want to talk about it for some reason, or maybe they didn't have the corresponding information.
The false "Governor of the Sea" wrote:
"I don't know.
"I just heard a maid from Milo Village mention a sentence, she is Juan. Oro's granddaughter, she said that all the 'governors of the sea' will eventually return to the sea."
Return to the sea...... That doesn't sound like a good thing...... Hehe, you actually designated Juan. Auro's granddaughter is his maid, is he trying to take revenge on his granddaughter for being intimidated and oppressed by his grandfather? And Juan. Oro actually agreed, didn't agree in person, and was going to come back in private, and beat you by the way? Juan. Oro and his sons are married to "maids of the sea", and his granddaughter is likely to be a lizard-like monster...... How would you feel if you knew you were sleeping with such a humanoid lizard? Lumian slanders this fake "Governor of the Sea" in his heart.
He thought about it for a moment, as if he couldn't understand what the other party was writing at all, and changed the question again:
"Juan. Aurora, is it powerful?"
The fake "Governor of the Sea" suddenly shuddered.
He quickly wrote:
"He's strong, he's a monster! He can make people suffocate and die in pain!"
After writing this passage, the fake "Governor of the Sea" looked up at the sunlight outside the window, put down the absorbent pen, stood up, and owed a debt to Lumian.
Then, he turned around, swayed his gorgeous dress, walked to the back door of this café, and left here.
He seems to be worried that he will "disappear" for too long while shopping and will be suspected by the bodyguards.
Lumian looked at his back, crumpled the sticky notes into a ball, and held it in his palm.
The crimson fire seeped out from between his fingers and quickly disappeared.
After sprinkling the ashes into the bottle containing the bouquet, Lumian picked up the Tolere coffee he hadn't finished yet and took a sip gently.
His thoughts turned quickly, and he analyzed the part of the information he was most concerned about:
"Is everything that fake just said true? As an ordinary person, if he can find an opportunity to get rid of the 'bodyguard' and sneak to me, will there be Juan? Auror and the others' private instructions, in order to dig a trap for me and wait for me to jump?
"In the April Fool's Day prank, a custom-made gold ring without extraordinary abilities was hidden inside the Lamb, who was brought as a sacrifice to the ship of the 'Governor of the Sea'......
"What should 'April Fool's Day' replace with this ring, a sacrificial ring like it?
"The reason why the 'Governor of the Sea' who was elected last year failed was because the key sacrificial ring became a fake and could not be effective?
"This means that the special boat has the core members of 'April Fool's Day' or their developed subordinates, otherwise it is impossible to hide from the members of the fisheries association and unknowingly replace important items......
"According to the information we have received so far, there are not many sailors on that ship, and the only passengers are the 'Governor of the Sea', the four 'Maidens of the Sea' and a few people who are responsible for guiding them to hold the ceremony.
"The fisheries association must have investigated afterwards, and I don't know if there is a conclusion......
"It cannot be ruled out that the dead 'Governor of the Sea' may be related to 'April Fool's Day', because he may have been completely fooled, thinking that if he replaced the ring and let the ritual fail, he would not have to return to the sea like the previous 'Governors of the Sea'......
"What is the purpose of 'April Fool's Day', is it a simple prank, to please yourself, or is it a deep intention?
"Ordinary 'April Fool's Day' members may simply seek to amuse themselves, but the core ones are always mixed with truth and falsehood......"
Sitting in the café until the sun was about to set below the horizon, Lumian put on his straw hat and slowly returned to the Solo Hotel.
Late at night, Lugano came back from the bar, and with the smell of alcohol, he leaned over to Lumian and said:
"I asked the adventurers and bounty hunters about Butner and his lover, and they all said they hadn't seen either of them in the last few days.
"As soon as they arrived at Port Santa, it was as if they had disappeared."
Fade away? Norfie, as the child of the "Maid of the Sea", would not be so mysterious if she only returned to Santa Harbor and the Fisheries Guild...... She wanted to do something about the sea prayer ceremony and persuaded Patner. As a result, as soon as you come back, you are targeted? She may know quite a few ...... I can't come forward to them in person now, and I've been showing up as a big adventurer lately...... Lugano is not too reliable...... What about Noalia, the nun? A series of speculations flashed through Lumian's mind.
In the blink of an eye, he suddenly knew what he should ask the "Knight of Swords" to help him with.
ps: At the beginning of the month, I asked for a double monthly pass~
