Chapter 84 A strange theft (please vote for me at the beginning of the month)
Looking at the open metal cabinet, Lumian had a ridiculous and unreal feeling:
The thief entered the house. He didn't take the most valuable "torture" gloves, nor did he flip through Aurore's witchcraft notes to see if there were any banknotes inside. He just took away a mineral that didn't look like a gem at all.
specimen.
Putting aside the issue of traps, if the thief is a real "thief" and a person with extraordinary abilities, then he will definitely not let go of gloves with unique materials and strong abilities. If he is just an ordinary thief, he will not let go.
They might just take away the earth blood ore, or even throw this seemingly worthless item on the ground.
All of this made Lumian suspect that the burglars had only one purpose:
Take that piece of earth blood ore!
The other party clearly knew what was special about the mineral specimen and tried to take advantage of it!
"Termipolos, who stole the earth blood ore?" Lumians couldn't find a suspect after thinking about it.
Except for dealing with Guillaume Benet a few days ago, when he took out the Earth Blood Ore and gave it to Franca, he kept the mineral specimen in the safe house at other times and never took it with him to avoid being spotted.
Of course, the thief may have used "divination" or "prophecy" to narrow down the area, search room after room, and finally find the target item.
The majestic voice of Thermipolos suddenly sounded:
"have no idea."
I don’t know... Lumian was shocked.
This answer itself is meaningless, but when it comes from Thermipolos' mouth, it can mean many things.
Although Termipolos is sealed in Lumian's body and cannot reveal any power, he is an angel after all, an angel in the realm of destiny. Even if he only relies on Lumian's eyes and destiny, he can still discover many things.
There are problems and traces that low-sequence extraordinary people cannot detect.
And now, He says He doesn't know!
This shows that the person who stole the earth blood ore is definitely not simple, and may involve high-level forces, originating from a secret organization or evil sect!
Hiss, I have to write a letter and tell Ms. "Magician" about this. After all, she once predicted that the earth blood ore would bring me some good or bad encounters. As a result, before the encounter came, the things were lost... Lu
Mian originally didn't want to bother with the Major Arcana card. To him, Earth Blood Ore is not a very valuable item. The application scenarios are very narrow. If it is lost, it will be lost. But once the problem becomes weird,
It cannot be underestimated.
In the world of occultism, carelessness will often receive a bloody lesson!
Frankly speaking, Lumian now has neither the anger to lose his property nor the motivation to find the mineral specimens. Although the earth blood ore may bring him certain opportunities, it is too vague, not clear enough, and has no
It is difficult for him to value and cherish the entity.
Moreover, Ms. "Magician" said that there is a possibility of bad luck in that situation, and Lumian felt that losing it would reduce the risk.
He checked the safe house again, and after confirming that all the traps were untouched and only the earth blood ore was missing, he sat down and started writing a letter.
This time, the summoned "doll" messenger was no longer as cold as last time, and no longer felt like he was suppressing strong emotions.
Within a few minutes, Ms. "Magician" replied with a brief letter:
"There is indeed a problem with this matter. I can't identify the person who stole the earth blood ore. If you are not afraid, you can go to the entrance of the 'Different' dance hall and find a random person wearing a monocle in his right eye and ask.
, even if they didn’t do it, they should know who the suspect is. If you think this is too risky, just wait a little longer and someone will help you ask after a while."
"Different" Cabaret...Also, the previous sequence of the Scammer is "The Thief"...Can those people wearing monocles control all the thieves involving supernatural powers in Trier? Lumian muttered silently
.
Aurore's witchcraft notes mentioned that "Stealer" is Sequence 9 of one of the paths of God, followed by "Scammer" and then "Decryptor".
After thinking for a while, Lumian decided to wait for a while and wait for someone to help him ask. Anyway, he was not in a hurry to use the earth blood ore.
When he thought of the "different" cabaret, Monet, the archipelago swindler with a monocle, and the swindlers who looked the same as him, his heart grew hairy and his scalp went numb. He tried his best not to come into contact with him if he could.
.
After burning the letter, Lumian turned his attention to the iron cabinet where Aurore's witchcraft notes and "torture" gloves were stored.
This safe house is no longer safe and must be replaced.
"Carry the 'torture' with you, take the rest with you if you can, sell them if you can, and find another safe house if you can't... Aurore's witchcraft notes and the gold, uh, find a big bank and rent a bearer
Safe storage... The lease here will not be renewed when it is full..." Lumian quickly came up with an idea.
In fact, he could neither take it with him nor want to sell it. Apart from Aurore's witchcraft notes and the accumulated gold, he only had the five ritual skins. He had to find a new home for them. Of course, for him,
In other words, a separate safe house must be prepared.
After considering these things, Lumian wrote a letter to "Hela".
He said that he knew the approximate location of the "Fountain of the Samaritan Woman" from a secret channel, and the informant asked him to go underground and get a bottle of the real "Fountain of the Samaritan Woman".
After writing this, Lumian suddenly felt a little confused:
It seems that he does not need to be directly involved in this matter. He can completely entrust "Hela" to help bring a bottle of spring water out.
"Ms. Justice shouldn't have thought of this, but what she said is that I have to go to the fourth floor of the catacombs by myself... In her opinion, Ms. Hela alone can find the Samaritan Woman.
The probability of success is not high and I need to provide assistance?
"What's special about me? Apart from the fact that I have an angel sealed on my body, my rank is not that high...
"Ms. 'Hela' has a higher sequence. It is relatively dangerous to be close to the 'Fountain of the Samaritan Woman' and she is prone to going crazy. I am responsible for monitoring her status and waking her up in time?"
"I used to think that Ms. Hela was at least Sequence 4, otherwise she wouldn't have said that she could solve the problems in Kordu Village before the advent ceremony. Now it seems that she shouldn't have become a demigod, otherwise, she shouldn't have
She can't enter the fourth level of the catacombs, let alone get close to the 'Fountain of the Samaritan Woman'... Does she have a '1' level sealed object or a magical item equivalent to a saint?" Lumian sorted out the whole thing.
After reading it again, I probably have some guesses and judgments.
He continued to write letters, using the request of the informant as an excuse to express his desire to enter the ancient tomb in person.
After the summoning ceremony, the skull head, which was made of pure silver and exuded soft light, took away the letter.
Not long after, the messenger sent a reply from "Hela":
"No problem, we will meet in front of the gate of the Death Empire at four o'clock tomorrow afternoon."
Huh... Lumian breathed out, his body trembling slightly.
This is both excitement and fear.
He has always had a spirit of adventure and experimentation, and the mysterious disappearance of the couple in the catacombs left a deep impression on him.
…………
The next morning, No. 11 Quanshui Street.
Lumian dutifully came to Gardner Martin's villa and reported to him the details of his meeting with Count Puyver and other "Black Cat" members.
Gardner Martin, who was more energetic than usual, sat behind his desk and said in a very happy mood:
"Although you said that you have no artistic talent, your background determines that you can chat with them. This is why I sent you instead of looking for Albus.
"I was originally worried that you wouldn't show enough generosity, but you did a great job and sponsored them 4,000 Firkin for the first time."
The implication of this "chief" of the "Iron Cross" is that, Lumian, as the younger brother of the best-selling author Aurore Lee, you no longer have any artistic ability. What you usually hear with your ears and see with your eyes will not
There will be a lack of scandals, rumors, grudges and grudges in the literary and artistic circles.
"What I don't understand is why the king cake game made me feel dangerous. I also had several nightmares last night." Lumian went straight to the point.
Gardner Martin nodded thoughtfully:
"This is because Puifer is special. He is very similar to his ancestor Fomunda. They have a close blood relationship and can omit many key steps during the ceremony."
"Has his ancestor turned into an evil spirit? Hundreds of years later, he can still accept sacrifices." Lumian did not mention what Mr. K said, and used normal people's logic to speculate and ask.
Gardner Martin said seriously:
"This is what you want to investigate when you approach Puyver. Don't worry, as long as you don't participate in the king cake game every two or three days, there won't be any sequelae except nightmares. Well, keep that dangerous intuition, don't
It is easier for you to become a 'King' than anyone other than Puyfer. If you don't have the confidence to make the right choice, let Puyfer choose first."
The "Iron Cross" wants to find out the whereabouts of Fomunda Sauron, who has been mysteriously missing for hundreds of years? Haha, why didn't you tell me the dangers of the King Cake game in advance and remind me of the last option? Lumian suspected Gardner
.Martin didn’t talk about it before because he wanted to use himself to confirm a certain key point.
…………
In the afternoon, underground not too far from the Trier Opera House, there is a quarry cavity that needs to be reached through a hidden gap.
Franka and Janna, wearing half masks, met the "wizard" in black robes again.
He is the client responsible for the disappearance of the gatekeeper of Deep Valley Monastery.
Franka looked around, looked at the man dressed as a wizard, and said in a hoarse voice:
"We have made some gains in investigating the case of the missing gatekeeper of the Deep Valley Monastery, and would like to communicate with you privately."
The man was silent for more than ten seconds, nodded and said:
"good."
The skeleton host wearing an iron-colored mask immediately led the man, Franka, and Jenna into a "conversation room" deliberately separated from the edge of the quarry's hollow.
…………
With one hour left before the appointed time, Lumian entered the underground Trier corresponding to the market area with a carbide lamp in hand.
