In Trier, there are not many people who install artificial eyes, but there are definitely a lot of them. For this kind of artificial eyes, a quarter of the face is transformed into a mechanical one. Whether it is Jenna or Franka, before
Never seen either.
But thinking that they were suspected to be monks from the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery, the two of them felt normal again.
The main characteristics of those people were their obsession with machines and their worship of machines. The monks, holding carbide lamps and wearing white aprons like stonemasons, entered the tunnel step by step.
The emerald green prosthetic eye, surrounded by numerous gears and bullets, seemed to have a life of its own, sometimes moving to the left, sometimes moving up, scanning the surroundings.
Frankie pulled Jiana and signaled her to stop looking in the direction of the tunnel and quickly look away to avoid being noticed by the other party.
The two of them retreated deeper into the hiding place, hiding where the light of the carbide lamp could not reach.
Wearing gray robes and not wearing hoods, the monks of the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery walked forward slowly, looking around as they approached the bottom of the deep valley quarry, which was the area that had collapsed and been buried.
Thanks to the assassin's ability and the protection of darkness and shadows, Janna and Franka were not discovered. They waited until the monk was far away from the tunnel exit before quietly sticking their heads out and casting their eyes on each other's back.
The monk holding the carbide lamp stopped at the side of the collapsed area, stretched out his right palm that reflected the light of iron-colored metal, and grasped a dent.
The sound of Kacha sounded immediately, as if there were multiple huge gears, tightly meshed and slowly rotating.
The stone wall cracked, and multiple metal chains stretched out from behind each rock.
Then, the rocks bloomed like flowers, revealing a deep, dark cave.
Relying on the light of the carbide lamp in the monk's hand and the assassin's eagle-like vision, Franka and Janna saw that the inside of the cave was filled with thin white mist.
I saw arms and thighs inlaid on the rock wall there, human arms and human thighs.
Some of them are still very fresh, and some are shriveled, but none of them show signs of decay.
Jenna and Franka couldn't help but looked at each other, seeing varying degrees of but real surprise and fear in each other's eyes.
As the monk walked into the cave and touched a certain mechanism, the metal chains relaxed at the same time, allowing the rock to return to its original position and re-form the stone wall, leaving only a few cracks that seemed to symbolize signs of collapse.
It turns out that this is the case. I had preconceptions and always believed that this place was on the verge of collapse. I had no doubts about the cracks.
Franka suddenly understood the reason why she and Jenna didn't find the abnormality.
She pulled Jian Na's arm and said in a lowered voice: "Now leave here first, and then look for opportunities to explore."
"Now that the problem has been discovered and the method of opening the secret cave has been mastered, there is no need to have a head-on conflict with the monk from the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery. You can come back at another time."
Jenna nodded gently, twirled the ring of punishment on her finger, hunched over, followed Franka out of the hiding place, followed the tunnel, and returned to the gate of the deep valley quarry.
Seeing that she was about to open the door and go out, Franka quickly stopped her in a low voice: "There's no need to rush."
"Why?" Jian Na looked confused.
Franca straightened her back unconsciously and said with a smile: "Just because there is one monk coming in does not mean that there is only one monk coming to the quarry."
"Perhaps the one who just left two companions outside to prevent bounty hunters and private detectives from breaking in? If we just go out like this, we may be exposed and attacked. Moreover, the gatekeeper may have woken up.
Already."
Jian Na felt a little ashamed: "I understand."
Franka immediately expressed relief: "This is all the product of experience. Now that you know it, you won't make similar mistakes."
As she spoke, she took out a palm-sized mirror and put it into Jian Na's hand: "You hold it for me, and I'll go out and explore the way. If I'm attacked later, you can take the opportunity to take this mirror with you.
Hide in the darkness at the door and sneak in the direction leaving the deep valley."
Guessing that Franka wanted to use a mirror to stand in for her, Jenna didn't waste any time and agreed directly.
After getting ready, Franka carefully opened the wooden door of the deep valley quarry a crack. There was only the sound of insects and frogs chirping outside, and there was no other movement.
The crack in the door became wider and wider, Franca got out and dived into the night where the crimson moonlight failed to shine.
Jian Na held the mirror hard, her spirits were high and she was always ready to take action.
After more than ten seconds, Franka returned to the door and said in a lowered voice: "Come out, there are no other monks."
Jian Na breathed a silent sigh of relief, ducked out, and closed the wooden door again without making any noise.
When the two of them left the quarry in the deep valley, they looked at the rock hut at the same time and saw that the gatekeeper was sleeping soundly, but his posture had changed a bit.
Franka stared at it for several seconds, and from a long distance away, she found red and swollen marks under the janitor's ears.
He was attacked and was now knocked unconscious rather than drugged. Franka frowned and expressed her observations.
Jian Na thought of the monk with the mechanical prosthetic eye just now, pointed to the wooden door of the quarry and said: "The one who was knocked unconscious by the one inside?"
Franka nodded slightly: "It's very possible. It seems that he doesn't want to be discovered by the gatekeeper and has entered the quarry."
"Haha, the janitor must have been knocked unconscious again before he could get rid of the drug's effect."
Jian Na heard this and smiled and said: "When we stunned him, he might not be sleeping, but was knocked unconscious by other methods."
Franka was startled for a moment, and sincerely sighed: "If this is the case, I feel a little sympathy for him. Every wave of people, unaware of the people in front of them, has already stunned the gatekeeper, and they all choose to deal with it in their own way, so
, the janitor keeps falling into comas, again and again.”
Jenna and Franka did not waste any time and left the deep valley quarry under the cover of night.
Market Avenue, Breeze Ballroom, Lumian returned to the cafe on the second floor, ordered a glass of red wine, and sipped it slowly.
After a while, Louis came up, leaned into his ear and said: "Boss, there are a few bounty hunters making trouble at the Mill Ballroom, and they seem to want to share some benefits."
After the top management of the Stinger Gang was destroyed, some of the remaining members were taken away by the police, and some fled to unknown places. Some joined other gangs, and some chose to find legitimate jobs.
And those industries were all taken over by different forces at low prices. Among them, the Savoyard Party got the biggest share of the cake, so that manpower became insufficient. Several industries were in a semi-stocked state. From time to time, people made trouble and wanted to fill the gap.
.
Lumian cracked his knuckles and said with a smile: "Send someone to ask them if they want to be my enemy or my dog?"
He found that after being promoted to Arsonist, he became more aggressive than before. After such a period of time, he was already feeling a little itchy after not fighting anyone.
In addition, there might be one or two Extraordinary among the few bounty hunters who dare to cause trouble in a dance hall that nominally belongs to the Savoyard Party.
As for Lumian's Shadow Branch, it still lacks the corresponding extraordinary characteristics.
Louis replied excitedly: "Yes, boss."
He quickly turned around and went downstairs to arrange for thugs to go to the Mill Ballroom to inquire.
It was almost time to meet him. Lumian planned to go back to the Golden Rooster Hotel and write a letter to the magician lady, but he began to wait patiently again.
In less than thirty minutes, Louis took a man up to the second floor. The man was about thirty years old, wearing a cheap formal suit, a black hat, brown hair and brown eyes, with regular features and a tall build. He belonged to the Old Pigeon Cage Theater.
, the kind that can play a positive role.
As soon as he saw Lumian, he smiled, took off his hat and said, "Good evening, boss."
"Who are you?" Lumian asked funnyly.
The man replied seriously: "Boss, didn't you ask me to come over and be your dog?"
With Lumian's mind and wit, he was a little stunned for a moment. He asked those people if they wanted to be dogs, just to anger them and see if they could have a not-so-good sparring match.
After a few seconds, Lumian chuckled and said, "I asked you to be a dog, are you really going to do it?"
"This is my chance." The man didn't feel ashamed, but felt very proud.
"I believe that by following you, boss, I can truly realize my value. In the future, I may have the opportunity to become your godson."
How young are you? You are softer than Simon the Giant.
Lumian asked with interest: "Why do you think I will give you a chance?"
The man did not answer immediately, but looked at Louis and Sakota, seemingly asking them to avoid it.
Lumian, who was preparing for a fight and was not worried about being assassinated, let Louis and Sakota leave the cafe.
He then looked at the man, smiled and asked, "Can we talk now?"
The man cleared his throat and said: "My name is Lugano Toscano, an extraordinary person."
"Which path? Sequence?" Lumian raised his eyebrows.
Lugano smiled again: "I am a cultivator, sequence 9.
Who is from the Earth Mother Church? Lumian nodded thoughtfully: "Are you from Feneport?"
"No, I'm from the province of Leiston." Lugano said with a smile: "A few years ago, a few friends and I became bounty hunters. We went to Feneport from time to time and met an extraordinary person. Later,
, he died, and I got his relics."
Fellow countryman, was that man murdered by you, or did he have some problem and take advantage of you? Lumian motioned to Lugano to continue.
Lugano chuckled and said: "I now have hope to become a Sequence 8 doctor, but I still have a lot of money left to buy the corresponding potion ingredients. I heard about your deeds, boss, and guessed that you are
The powerful extraordinary person also knows that the Savoy Party is currently short of manpower, so he wants to use the trouble to come to see you, hoping to become your assistant, help you take charge of an industry, and earn some hard money."
Physicians are very useful, whether they are ordinary people or extraordinary people.
