Chapter 569 Clues to Gathering
Solo Inn.
Lumian looked out at the port area with the fires against the red night sky, listened to the noise in the distance, and waited for possible visitors.
Not long after, there was a knock on the door.
Lumian didn't wait for Lugano to wake up and get up, turned around and walked to the door.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Noalia wearing brown leather armor and a two-horned nun hat.
Noalya's face was like frost, and she suddenly raised her hand and shouted in a low voice in ancient Hermes:
"Imprisonment!"
Lumian was suddenly unable to move, as if layers of transparent walls or flowing viscous liquid were restricting his movements, which turned him into a small worm inside Amber.
In the next second, Noalia pulled out a straight sword behind her backhand.
At the same time, Lumian's trouser legs suddenly tightened, and the whole person seemed to be a bit taller and larger, and some kind of explosive force expanded from his body.
The transparent "amber" that trapped him made a creaking sound, and invisible cracks appeared one after another.
With a whoosh, Noalia held the hilt of the straight sword with both hands, cut through the airflow, split the already shaky "cage", and slashed at Lumian's head.
Lumian's right fist, which was ready to go, swung in time, and hit the side of the straight sword with a condensed crimson and almost white fire.
In the low and restrained explosion, the straight sword tilted out, brushing the door frame and slashing to the ground.
Noelia took advantage of the situation to retreat, put away her straight sword, and asked in a deep voice in Intis:
"Did you blow up the Fisheries Guild?"
Seeing this, Lumian did not fight back, his body returned to normal, and said with a smile:
"It doesn't matter if I blew it up or not, what matters is whether anyone can prove that I blew it up."
He knew that Noalia was just warning just now, not really going to deal with herself, otherwise after "imprisonment", she should take on other extraordinary abilities instead of directly slashing with a sword.
Noalia maintains a perennial order in Santa Harbor and asks different criminal suspects:
"Why do you want to do this, why do you make such a big move?"
Lumian glanced sideways at the servant's room and motioned for Lugano, who had heard the movement, to go back and continue sleeping.
As he walked towards the easy chair in the living room, he ignored Noalya's question and said with a smile:
"I found something."
"For example?" Alia Noah walked into the suite and closed the wooden door with her backhand.
Lumian pointed to the sofa:
"Sit down and talk first, lest you say I'm rude."
Noalia glanced at Lumian and said with a smile:
"If you don't pay your respects, what kind of politeness is there?"
Her attitude is frank.
Lumian sat down in the easy chair and answered the question just now:
"For example, last year's sea prayer ceremony failed."
Noalia didn't show any surprise, sat on the edge of the sofa, leaned forward slightly, and didn't let the straight sword behind her touch her:
"What else?"
Lumian thought for a moment and said in a chatty tone:
"Also, the sea prayer ceremony is to marry the sea;
"Also, the 'Governor of the Sea' is the husband of the sea, and the 'Maid of the Sea' is the embodiment of the sea in the real world;
"Also, whether it is the 'Governor of the Sea' or the 'Maiden of the Sea', the children born are all 'children of the sea', and the bloodline at the beginning is the purest......"
Although Lumian knew very well that what he wanted to mean was that the children conceived by the women who had slept with the "Governor of the Sea" were all descendants of the sea, regardless of whether they were "Handmaids of the Sea" or not, but after saying the corresponding words, he had a wealth of occult knowledge and extraordinary knowledge, and it was inevitable that this seemed to include the meaning of the "Governor of the Sea" giving birth to a child himself.
Phew, sure enough, the more you know, the easier it is to be polluted, I didn't think so before...... While Lumian sighed secretly, Noalia sighed with some surprise and some appreciation:
"Your investigation is progressing faster than I imagined, and it only took a short time to figure out most of the things."
There have been many days, and my "proficiency in language" charm will expire tomorrow, and I don't know how much I will gain from this week's study...... Lumian smiled slightly:
"You wouldn't think that my reputation as a big adventurer was blown out by bragging, right?"
"The 'devil wizard' who can be rewarded with 30 gold liso is definitely not bragging." Noalia said in a euphemistic way that she did not underestimate anyone who could hunt "devil wizards".
She nodded in satisfaction and said:
"Many extraordinary people have good abilities, but they lack enough brains, are aggressive, and like to show off, but you are not.
"However, I still have to remind you, don't go too far, although I know very well what your true purpose is in deliberately making such a big fuss, but we must maintain the stability and order of Santa Harbor, you can't make it difficult for us."
With the warning just now, the hidden meaning of this sentence is not to destroy the current situation in Santa Harbor, and it is okay to investigate the sea prayer ceremony, but it cannot fundamentally subvert the order here? In other words, don't kill the fisheries association? What do your "Mother Earth" churches want to do, whether you want it or not...... Lumian pondered Noaliyah's subtext and laughed:
"If you could be honest and reveal more information, I wouldn't have to do so much at all."
Noalya smiled slightly awkwardly but politely,
"We don't have a lot of information, I can only tell you that since the church acquiesces to the existence of the sea prayer ceremony and acquiesces to the people of the fisheries association to obtain the power of the sea, there must be sufficient reasons, regardless of whether they have the ability to solve it.
"As for what the reason is, I can't understand it with my rank, but perhaps the archbishop in charge of the entire province of Gaya and the president of our Order of Abundance can answer you."
Lumian sneered and said:
"Then you acquiesced or even connived at me to investigate what the sea prayer ceremony was for?"
Noalia sighed and said:
"Why do you have to figure it out? Didn't we ask you what the real purpose of the sea prayer ceremony is?"
After saying that, the battle nun left the sofa, spread her legs, and walked to the door of the suite step by step.
After walking a few steps, she stopped and said thoughtfully:
"There are some ancient traces hidden in the basement of the 'Governor of the Sea' mansion in Milo Village, which can reveal some things, so you'd better find an opportunity to take a look."
"In the basement of the 'Governor of the Sea' mansion? According to Franca's paraphrase, there are a small number of symbols and patterns left by the ancestors of Milo Village...... What does Noalia mean by that they contain more important information? The reason why the "Earth Mother Goddess" Church acquiesced to the holding of the sea prayer ceremony is also included?
"If Juan. Oro did not lie, did not deliberately conceal it, and did not play with yin, wouldn't that show that the 'Earth Mother Goddess' Church knew the ancestors of Milo Village better than their descendants? Also, after all, it was the power that destroyed Milo Village and cleaned up those ancestors, and there has been no interruption of inheritance in the past thousand years, and it has always been at the top of the real world......" Lumian looked at Noalia's back as she opened the door and left, without asking.
As soon as he returned to the master bedroom and was about to go to bed, he saw the "doll" messenger drop the paper folded into squares and left like a fly, without saying hello.
"Ludwig is not so annoying except for loving to eat a little, except for eating everything, right?
"Uh, Ms. 'Magician' does like to go to bed late, and writing to her at night is the fastest......" Lumian muttered silently as he picked up the reply letter.
He quickly unfolded and read the content above:
"So far, you've been doing well in Port Santa.
"I won't interfere too much and guide you, this is your opportunity to further digest the 'conspirator's magic potion, a very good opportunity.
"I roughly restored that passage, read it several times, it is not any language I currently master, but what is certain is that it does not have the characteristics of leveraging the power of nature, but it has a certain amount of energy, and language can also have energy.
"What does this mean? It means that in the sea prayer ceremony, it cannot be used as a sacrificial language, and it is difficult to rely on it to communicate with the transcendent thing, the so-called sea.
"Then why was the sea prayer ceremony successful? The key should be the sacrificial ring, which has a high probability of having a unique shape, strange patterns, strong spirituality and precipitated knowledge, and that passage relies on its own pronunciation, structure and energy to stimulate this ring and let it play its due role.
"If you can reproduce the state of the ring after the vigil for me, I am sure to interpret its specific effect and the general meaning of that passage."
Yes, Lato. When Giaro recited the passage "O sea, I will marry you......", there was no trace of the force of nature being pryed, which means that it cannot be a sacrificial language, and it must have another effect...... After reading the explanation of Ms. "Magician", Lumian had a deeper understanding of the sea festival session.
And now most of the clues seem to have to wait until he can infiltrate the "Governor of the Sea" mansion before there will be a follow-up.
…………
The next morning, Lugano took Ludwig through the streets, buying the breakfast the little boy wanted to eat.
Suddenly, a person with his head lowered and hurriedly passed by him, sliding his feet into him.
Lugano turned his body calmly, not letting the man touch him.
He even helped the other party and said hypocritically:
"Be careful."
The man took Lugano's hand and stuffed something into it.
Then, he said "I'm sorry" vaguely, continued forward, and disappeared into the crowd.
Lugano lowered his gaze and looked at his palm, where there was a crumpled ball of white sticky notes.
He was not in a hurry to read the contents of the paper, and after buying breakfast for Ludwig, he returned to the Solo Hotel and told Lumian about it.
Lumian took the paper ball and spread it out quite casually.
It is written in relatively elegant handwriting:
"After last year's ceremony, the sea has changed."
