Lumian drank the fermented grape juice he bought from a street vendor and relaxed as he watched the great adventurer Louis. The suite Berry rented looked down on Aquinas Street from time to time, looking left and right, looking for other monitors that might be present.
More than half an hour ago, he changed his clothes, changed his appearance, "teleported" directly to a nearby neighborhood, and then walked back and rented such a well-located room.
Not long after, Lumian saw Lugano cowering out and preparing extra breakfast for Ludwig, and couldn't help but laugh lowly.
This guy was scared by yesterday's attack.
But unless the people of the Fisheries Guild have their brains eroded by extraordinary powers and cannot control their emotions and think rationally, it is unlikely that they will assassinate Lugano, the translator and guide, again, because the great adventurer Louis. Berry's reaction yesterday was to tell everyone clearly:
If you can't kill me directly, then don't try to target the people around me, you can assassinate me, I, Louis. Berry can do the same, your fisheries association members and corresponding children and descendants always lack protection or are not strong enough and a few people travel, guess if I dare to do it, do you have this strength?
Either find an opportunity to destroy me with all your might, or just settle down!
Faced with such an "answer", the members of the fisheries association knew what to do if they were a little clear-headed, and the great adventurer Louis. Berry is not an official extraordinary person or a policeman, and it is simply unrealistic to expect him to abide by the law and not implicate his family.
Moreover, judging from his performance and rumors in the past few days, he is a person who likes to imitate Gelman. Sparrow, an adventurer known for being radical, crazy and ruthless, what can't such a person do?
After all, in addition to the Fisheries Guild, there are many guys in the port of Santa who want to take this opportunity to achieve certain goals, and they may disguise themselves as people from the Fisheries Guild and attack the great adventurer Louis. Berry's translation and godson intensified the conflict between him and the fisheries association and provoked conflict in advance.
If a "conspirator" ignores even this level of conspiracy, he is definitely unqualified.
When Lugano bought a bunch of breakfast and returned to the suite on the 5th floor of the Solo Hotel, Lumian took his gaze back from the high-backed chair at the dining table that seemed to be wearing a golden straw hat, turned around and left the current room, intending to go around the neighborhood.
As soon as he entered the corridor, he saw a man standing at the staircase who was less than 1.7 meters tall but quite strong.
The man, with brown hair and brown eyes, rough skin, and a special long-mouthed cigarette in his mouth, set his sights on Lumian.
He asked in the plateau language:
"Who asked you to come here to spy on Louis. Berry's?"
Lumian laughed:
"Aren't you here to spy on Louis. Berry's?
"I didn't even ask who sent you, why did you ask me?"
He also speaks the plateau language fluently.
The man with a long-mouthed cigarette thought for a few seconds, nodded in agreement, and got out of the way into the stairs.
Lumian passed in front of him and went down step by step.
Looking at Lumian's back, the man's eyes gradually became dangerous.
He raised his left hand and gently twisted the special long-mouth cigarette.
Then, he took a deep breath and puffed into the "mouthpiece".
Silently, a slender steel needle flew out of the scorched tobacco and went straight to Lumian's vest less than two meters away.
This is a kind of blow arrow, which comes from some tribes in the primeval jungle of the southern continent, but most of those blow arrows are one or two meters long, and they cannot be carried concealedly and used to sneak attack others.
While it improves portability and concealment, its power inevitably drops sharply, and the shooting range is reduced to less than four or five meters.
The man who attacked Lumian hid it in a long-mouthed cigarette in order to paralyze the target and wait for a chance to get close.
His purpose is to control the other party and torture who his client is.
The steel needle flashed by, but Lumian seemed to have expected it, and when the man behind him blew air, he suddenly bent forward and pulled his spine sideways, avoiding the blowing arrow in an extremely distorted inhuman posture.
With a slight popping sound, the steel needle sank into the wooden staircase.
In the next second, the man who attacked Lumian widened his eyes to see his target swing his fist in a posture that surpassed human flexibility.
Bang!
He fainted.
Lumian recovered from his almost twisted body, bent over to lift the attacker, and dragged him into the room he had rented.
Then, while the other party was still in a coma, Lumian injected him with a little vomiting agent, estimated the time, and woke him up.
Looking at the ordinary face without any features, the attacker shouted in some panic:
"I just want to stun you and find a place to ask who your client is!
"The toxin on the arrow is anesthetic!"
Lumian, who was squatting in front of the other party, smiled and said:
"Now let me ask you, who is your client?"
"It's Juan. Oro!" The brown-haired and brown-eyed man blurted out.
Lumian asked again:
"Really?"
"Yes, no, it's actually someone else......" At this point, the man closed his mouth in horror.
Lumian is kind and induced:
"Who is it?"
The man struggled for a few seconds and replied in a state where he couldn't control his mouth:
"Ruvio. Paco."
Rubio...... What is he spying on me? Want to gain some kind of benefit with the actions of a big adventurer? This is also the reason why he didn't secretly ask me to disclose the information? Lumian nodded slightly, straightened up and said:
"If you have bad breath, remember to brush your teeth more."
The "......" attacker looked dazed and didn't understand why the topic became this, but he still replied "passively", "I really don't like to brush my teeth."
Lumian shook his head in disgust, didn't want the blow arrow as a trophy, left the room directly, and left a sentence:
"Remember to lock the door for me."
…………
Trier, Memorial Parish, in the apartment rented by Franka and Jana.
They have received a letter from Ms. "Judgment" through Xia Zuotu.
Wearing a miniaturized top hat, a miniature version of gold-rimmed glasses, and a scaled-down version of a black trench coat, Xia Zuotu made a request before leaving:
"Can I replace the cost of the next five deliveries with a custom-made small revolver?"
Jian Na opened her mouth slightly and was stunned for a few seconds and said:
"Yes."
She then asked:
"Can't you change up yourself?"
Just like your top hat, glasses and trench coat.
"They don't have a practical effect, but I hope the revolver has it, and the bullets are also special." Xia Zuotu explained seriously.
Jane Na blinked and agreed.
When the messenger left, Franka said with a very strange expression:
"How do I feel like it's going from chasing knowledge to chasing force?"
Jian Na originally wanted to help Xia Zuotu argue a few words, but she couldn't find a good excuse for a while, so she could only "squeeze" and said:
"This is not a bad thing, maybe it can help me fight in the future!
"Moreover, the messenger's force is higher, and it is safer to send a message."
Franka, who had no messenger, suddenly felt sour, and without further ado, he opened the reply of the "Judgment" lady:
"The Tamara family is one of the five great aristocratic families of the Fourth Age Tudor Empire, with hereditary dukehoods, on par with the Amun you know, but slightly inferior.
"In that era when the gods walked the earth, families that could become great nobles must have angelic powers, and according to the data, in Alistair. Before Tudor became the "Blood Emperor", the Tamara family had existed for many years and was a famous nobleman in the previous empire.
"They had one change of heraldry and two internal divisions, and Tamara was buried in different layers of the catacombs at different times.
"Their original coat of arms consisted of thorns, a shield wall, and a vertical long sword, which later became an antagonistic door, and the gap in the door was served by the vertical long sword.
"This means that the Tamara family has undergone a major change, from the 'Judge' route to the 'Apprentice' path, but there is no corresponding historical data for the time being.
"A small number of Tamara family members who adhere to the 'Judgment' path have survived to this day, and they are secretly active.
"Another part of Tamara established a very close connection with the witch family during the Tudor Empire, and in the Fifth Age, a secret organization called the 'Gnostic Society' appeared, which had both the figure of 'witches' and the 'apprentice' path from Tamara, and there was reason to believe that they were still cooperating.
"This part of Tamara and the other Tamara have been divided for many years and do not recognize each other.
"The Tamaras who insisted on the 'judgment' path also had a split, the specific situation is unknown......"
Seeing this, Franka and Jane had such an idea at the same time:
The Tamara family really has a certain relationship with the "witches"!
The two continued to read the rest of the letter:
"Guide you to find the Tamara family tomb, the person who found the 'Fragment of the Mirror World' should also be targeting that special mirror world and witch sect......"
…………
In the next few days, Lumian was not attacked, as was Lugano and Ludwig.
Port Santa seemed to have become calm again, and the people who were secretly watching had no intention of taking half a step forward.
Just as Lumian was thinking about whether to do something more and try to figure out all the details before the sea prayer ceremony in early November, the "Knight of Swords" brought new gains about Norphy and Butner.
His face was always pale, and he said to Lumian:
"I found the suspect who kidnapped the two targets, should I do it myself or go together?"
Lumian pondered for a moment and said:
"Together."
