Chapter 75 The Result of the Temptation (Asking for Recommendation Votes)
While Lucian was calmly copying sentences, a line of blood-red words suddenly jumped out of the white letterhead, like flowing blood, giving people a terrifying feeling:
"Stop what you do! Otherwise, you will receive a corpse!"
With a snap, Lucian, who was pretending to be panicked, dropped the quill pen on the table and said with a slight stammer: "I just, I just want to record your request so that I don't forget it."
"Your excuses are funny, Mr. Evans, stop your stupid actions, this is your last chance, if you do something like this again, you will receive Joel's body, of course, a finger's warning is a must!"
Lucian was mentally prepared for the possible harm to Uncle Joel, Aunt Alyssa, and Evan from the kidnappers.
"Okay, everything goes as you wish, I will be fine." Lucian tore up the white paper on which the words were transcribed.
"Is he able to see me by relying on this magical item letterhead, or is there another means? The next step is to test this, but it can't be too hasty, so as not to be seen as a problem."
Seeing that the stationery had quieted down, Lucian put it away, and then pretended to be a little lost and lying on the bed, his mental power did not spread, but relied on a hazy and vague induction to judge whether there were any traces of other supernatural forces in the cabin.
At this time, you can't use magic to probe, it's over if you are discovered.
Lucian knew very well that up to now, he had been able to test some things, not because he was much smarter than the cultists, but because of the asymmetry of information that they didn't know their details.
The entire cabin, except for the envelope placed in the box, had no supernatural power or induction.
…………
After a seemingly calm noon, Lucian took his much shriveled money bag and walked to Jisu District to find the old garden villa located at No. 116.
Its location was better than Lucian had imagined, in the Jisu District near the city wall, because there was no city gate here, it was very deserted, only a few poorly maintained two-story villas on both sides of the road were far apart in the cover of street trees.
This kind of sycamore-like street tree called Lava, tall and thick, with dense branches and leaves, completely surrounds these two-story villas, and the golden fallen leaves dance in the wind, full of poetry and set off the remoteness and quietness.
Lucian, who was very satisfied with the nearby environment, walked to the gate made of iron railings and slapped it hard.
Sure enough, hearing a knock on the door, a man in his thirties came out of the white two-story building covered with green vines, with a neatly trimmed beard and a brown formal dress, looking shrewd.
"Hello, Mr. Evans, I'm Brian, and I'll take you around the villa." Lucian, who has made headlines on the front page of "Music Review" and "Symphony Herald" with oil portraits, is the most talked about and most enthusiastic figure in the association today, so Brian, who has gone to the library to borrow books, recognized Lucian at a glance.
When he opened the iron door and saw Lucian stretching out his right hand first, he quickly greeted him with both hands, holding Lucian's right hand and shaking it gently, with a very respectful attitude.
Brian relies on his shrewdness and caution to be able to take charge of the rental of houses in the "affairs department" with the most generous remuneration and private interests in the association as a commoner.
Under the guidance of Brian, Lucian walked around the villa and found that the garden on the front and the lawn used for open-air gatherings on the back were not big enough, but the interior of the villa was unexpectedly clean, tidy and beautiful, not using the most popular flashy and extravagant, gorgeous and complex "Trian court-style" decoration similar to the Baroque style, but furnished in a light and elegant style, the wide hall, simple and slender decorations, statues, etc. give people a refreshing and clear feeling.
Unfortunately, due to the obstruction of the city wall and the overly tall rava trees, the lighting of the entire building was very poor, so the refreshing and bright style was shrouded in darkness, creating a strange eerie feeling, which contrasted well with the green vines outside.
"Mr. Evans, the environment of this villa is very quiet, and there will be no strong sunlight, it is a suitable place for making music, I don't know if you are satisfied?" Braun tried to turn the disadvantages into advantages, because of the poor lighting, the musician was entrusted to the association and could not rent it out for several months.
Lucian didn't mind the darkness, because it meant that the night would definitely be darker, so he nodded and said, "Show me the rental contract."
As long as he could rent out this villa, in addition to the remuneration he deserved, he also hired the servants who cleaned and kept it tidy in the previous months, and the difference in the middle naturally belonged to him.
Lucian looked at the contract and there was no problem, so he picked up Brian's quill and signed his name, and took out a kintale from his money bag and gave it to the other party.
Brian quickly wrote the receipt, put away the contract, and then asked with a flattering smile: "Mr. Evans, such a large villa needs at least a housekeeper, four servants, a cook, a florist, a carriage and a coachman, I can help you find people from your respective guilds."
"It may take a while for me to fully move in, you can bring them over next week for me to choose." Lucian thought for a while and agreed to Brian's proposal, but delayed the time for a week, because this was the most critical time period to rescue the hostages, and he could not be negligent or disturbed.
After handing over the key to Lucian, Brian left briskly, while Lucian stood quietly in the hall that was not so dim at noon, quietly looking at the stairs to the second floor.
the second floor has a total of four bedrooms, a study, a piano room, and a large terrace; The first floor is the hall, dining room, four servants' rooms, a storage room, and a basement; The kitchen is a separate cabin, connected to the small door on the left side of the villa, and there is also a well-established villa sewer connected to the Alto developed sewer.
Being able to live in such a large area and such a well-decorated villa should have been full of joy for Lucian, who had worked hard to enjoy life, but now Lucian looked at all this, only the irritability and anger suppressed in his heart.
After standing for a while, Lucian rushed back to his cabin in Adjean District, and then deliberately brought a few clothes back to the garden villa.
Putting the clothes in the master bedroom on the second floor, Lucian walked into the quietest piano room in the entire villa, its walls were made of special stone, the same as the piano room of the Victor family, which could block the sound in the room, which not only caused a perfect echo effect, but also did not disturb others.
Closing the door of the piano room, there was an indescribable silence and tranquility in the entire room, and no movement could be heard except for Lucian's own footsteps.
Drawing the curtains, Lucian sat on the lounge chair in the piano room, slowly swaying in the darkness, concentrating on his energy but not radiating his surroundings.
There are no letter paper items made by god-like magic here!
"How will he observe me?"
In this extreme silence, Lucian seemed to be asleep, as if the whole room was in a vague sense of his soul.
Suddenly, a little fluctuation of supernatural power occurred.
Lucian didn't open his eyes, and his ears heard a slight buzzing sound:
"Do you use the 'Alto tabby mosquito' to observe? Is it attached to the detective magic, or is it simply a transformation technique?" As if he was asleep, Lucian quietly judged in his heart, although he was not clear about what methods the cultists used, but the purpose of this temptation had been achieved: when there was a letter item, the other party relied on it, it was both a communication tool and a monitoring item, and as long as it was far away from the envelope, the other party had to use other magical means to observe and track him.
When there is no essential strength gap between the two sides, it is easy for Lucian, who is prepared, to detect small fluctuations in supernatural powers, because the other party never thought that Lucian would be a magic apprentice.
Lucian did not expose the other party's methods, because the methods he already knew and were familiar with were the easiest to deal with, so why should he let the other party change?
…………
In the evening, perhaps because Lucian fell asleep pretending to be exhausted and mentally exhausted in the afternoon, the stationery did not mention the afternoon, but only warned Lucian that if he moved, he must remember to bring the letter.
"There are still a few things that need to be tested." Lucian kept familiarizing himself with the refining process of the "Weeping Soul" potion that had been analyzed in his mind, while looking at the thick night.
…………
Early the next morning, after Lucian got up and had breakfast, he was about to go out when he suddenly found a ball of white paper stuffed in the gap under the door.
With a tight heart, Lucian calmly took out the white paper and slowly opened it.
Three fingers still stained with blood appeared in front of Lucian's eyes, two slender and callused, one thick and fat, they were all little fingers, and the white bones at the break slightly reflected the morning sun.
Lucian closed his eyes, hiding the murderous intent, anger and moistness in his eyes, and then opened his eyes again to look at another thing on the white paper, which was a dark black ball that seemed to be filled with smoke.
"This is your gift, Mr. Evans."
There was also a line of blood-colored text on the white paper.
