So fast? Lumian didn't expect that in just one day, the investigation of the "Knight of Swords" would be rewarded.
He followed his intuition, turned his body sideways, and turned his gaze to the full-length mirror.
The brown-haired, pale-faced "Knight of the Sword" had appeared there at some point.
"Just a clue?" Lumian recalled the other party's words just now and extracted the key points.
"Knight of Swords" glanced at Lumian with that extremely depressed and restrained gaze and said:
"The day after they arrived in Santa Harbor, they went to the Balansat Boat Rental Company and asked how much ginliso it would take to rent a boat to go fishing, and after that, they never showed up again."
Hearing the answer of the "Knight of Swords", a thought subconsciously flashed through Lumian's mind:
It's quite romantic, as expected of a combination of one and a half Intes and half a Feneport, they actually chose to go fishing as a date!
If Norfie does not have the identity of the "Maid of the Sea" child, and this is Santa Harbor, the pursuit of romance may be closer to their true purpose of chartering a ship, but unfortunately, there is no if.
——There are many fishermen in Santa Harbor, but not everyone has their own fishing boat, these fishermen at the lower levels are either hired, get on board to help, and get a relatively fixed monetary remuneration and a part of the income from the sea cargo combination, or many people partner to buy or rent a fishing boat that can go to sea, Balansat Boat Rental Company is mainly to make money in this area, as for the middle class and tourists sightseeing and sea fishing do not bring much income, Santa Harbor is not a city famous for tourism.
As Lumian entered a contemplative state, the 'Knight of Swords' continued:
"The inquiry was led by the woman named Norfie, but the man named Butner was very cooperative throughout the whole process and did not show any resistance."
Butner wouldn't really think that going out to sea to fish was a date, right? For the Intis people, this is indeed something to look forward to, how can they resist? Charter a boat to go to sea...... What does Norfi want to do, during the sea prayer ceremony, intercept the special ship that is on board the "Governor of the Sea" halfway, or load a boat of gunpowder and crash directly into it, ending the lives of the "Governor of the Sea" and the "Handmaid of the Sea"? Or, quietly follow, and replace it at a critical moment? Lumian had a flood of thoughts and all kinds of guesses.
Suddenly, he remembered something.
In the information he collected from different channels about the sea prayer ceremony, there is a message:
The last and most core part of the sea prayer ceremony was held in a special sea area outside the port, and those who had not followed it did not know the details of the sea festival or where that sea area was located.
Thinking of this, Lumian had a flash of inspiration in his mind and made a new speculation:
"Norfi's mother is a 'maid of the sea' who escaped from Port Santa, and she must have been to that special sea area, and may have told her daughter the corresponding information.
"The purpose of Norfie's charter is to go to that special sea area?
"What's there?
"Does it mean that somewhere, a certain being, or a certain power is hidden somewhere in that sea area, and the essence of the sea prayer ceremony is to borrow something special from it?
"Does Norfi want to take that thing and take it for himself and become a permanent 'Governor of the Sea', or destroy it completely, ending the long history of Santa Harbor selecting the 'Governor of the Sea' and 'Handmaid of the Sea' and holding the sea prayer ceremony?
"It's really easier to take that thing away and take it into your own hands, the members of the Fisheries Association have already done it, most of the time, human nature is selfish, and it is impossible to leave good things to a 'maid of the sea' child, unless the 'maid of the sea' leaves Port Santa and has other encounters, knowing how to approach, how to get it, and how to avoid danger......
"It may be easier to destroy than to occupy......"
In the blink of an eye, Lumian raised his head slightly.
The purpose of the core members of "April Fool's Day" to pull such a prank is not to steal that thing or all its specialness, right?
Did they succeed?
This is a very critical question.
The "Knight of Swords" looked at Lumian quietly, without interrupting his thinking, like a corpse standing there.
After a while, Lumian asked with a slight curiosity:
"How did you find out some of Norfi and Butner's whereabouts in just one day?"
"Knight of Swords" replied in a low voice:
"Get information from the spirit world, and then investigate it on the spot.
"After they left the Balansat boat rental company, all relevant information was hidden or eliminated and could no longer be found."
"Isn't this the principle of some divination...... Norfie and Butner didn't do anti-divination before going to the boat rental company, but did it after they left?
"This is unreasonable, either don't do it, or you will do it the whole time, unless both of you are rookies, and you only remember to do anti-divination after asking about the price of the charter......
"Well, a more reasonable explanation is that boat leasing also belongs to the fishing and maritime trade-related industries, and has a deep relationship with the members of the fisheries association......
"The note telling me that Norfie is the child of the 'Maid of the Sea' is from the owner or shareholder of the Balansart Boat Charter Company?" Lumian's thoughts gradually became clear.
He looked at the "Knight of Swords" and hesitated how to ask the other party to continue the investigation.
At this time, the "Knight of Swords" took the initiative to say:
"I will do further investigation from the boat rental company."
"Thank you." Lumian sincerely thanked him.
He immediately saw the figure of the "Knight of the Sword" rapidly transparent and disappeared.
Turned into a soul body creature? "Resentful Soul"? Lumian saw more details this time.
This made him wonder if the "Knight of the Sword" was from the "temperance" of the "Fool" Church, and then went to the southern continent to deal with the "indulgence" of the Rose School.
Without thinking about it, he took off his clothes, put on a cotton shirt that had been washed until it turned white, and lay down on the bed.
…………
Late at night in Trier, Franka wore a thick tweed top and trousers that fit the curve of her legs, stepped on her boots, and walked in the intermittent street lights.
Although she did not wear makeup and deliberately used darkness and shadows to cover her appearance, there were still many drunks who came to strike up a conversation or ask about the price just by seeing her back or side, acting like those tiny flying insects hovering under the gas street lamps on a summer night.
Syllable!
Franka's ponytail swayed lightly, and a side kick kicked a drunken man who was entangled flying.
The drunkard screamed and vomited all over the ground.
Franka curled her mouth in disgust and said to herself silently:
"'Joy' is really troublesome, it's okay during the day, but some guys who feel good about themselves will come to hook up, and when they go out at night, they are full of malice, and even the heroes who save the beauty are also for follow-up conversations......
"However, those bastards came with imaginary happiness and anticipation, but they only received a beating and corresponding pain, well, this can also be regarded as a simple version of joy and pain?"
It was precisely because he wanted to experience this matter and see if he could find an opportunity to digest the magic potion that Franka did not sneak into the shadows and move forward without anyone seeing.
After walking for a while, Franka entered the shadows and came to the empty room where she had met "007" before.
The companion said that he had found out the situation of the ancient tomb next to the "Crazy Mushroom Cave" on the fourth floor of the catacombs through church information and municipal files, but it was inconvenient to talk about it in the telegram group.
Franka searched a little and found two thin sheets of paper folded.
She unfolded them directly and quickly browsed them - as an "assassin", no matter how dark the environment was, she could not stop her from seeing the text:
"The ancient tomb where you found the 'Fragment of the Mirrored World' belongs to a large noble family in the Quaternary Tudor Empire.
"Their last name is Tamara.
"I haven't found the corresponding information about which members of the Tamara family that tomb belonged to, but I found a strange thing:
"Not only are there multiple Tamara family burials on the fourth floor of the catacombs, but there are also tombs on the third floor, such as the 'Tomb of Thorns and Shields', the 'Tomb of the Justice', etc., why don't they be put together......"
Seeing this, Franka's eyes suddenly froze.
Isn't the "Thorns and Shield Wall Tomb" the tomb where Jane Na used a tear bottle to complete the task?
The mission they used as an excuse involved the Tamara family, and the tomb where the "Mirror World Fragments" were harvested also belonged to the Tamara family!
Isn't this too coincidental?
Is it the embodiment of the laws of occultism?
After calming down, Franka read the rest of the content:
「…… Regarding the Tamara family, my rank has not yet been able to access more detailed information, so think of a way for yourself."
Hmm...... Franka nodded slightly, already deciding to report the whole matter to the "Judgment" lady, hoping to get some information and hints from the "Tarot Club".
…………
Early morning, Santa Harbor, Aquinas Street.
In a house diagonally opposite the Solo Hotel, Lumian, who had changed his appearance, was standing at the window of a room, holding a new ID given by Valerio, looking at the suite where he, Lugano and Ludwig lived, and the street below.
Now, what he wants to play is to accept a secret commission and spy on the great adventurer Louis. Berry's Normal Bounty Hunter.
With the radical performance in the past few days, well-informed people in the entire Port of Santa should know that there is such a great adventurer who wants to investigate the sea prayer ceremony, which most likely includes the core members of "April Fool's Day" such as "Bards"!
