"007" wearing a lion headband thought for a while and said:
"I just heard some rumors that the "Secret Puppet Master" disappeared with some confidential information."
"Nothing." Since "007" had guessed that the truth of what happened that night was that the two of them and "Hela" teamed up to deal with "Loki", Franka stopped pretending and directly refuted the rumors.
There is no information on "Loki"!
"007" did not argue with her and just continued to add the content of the rumors:
"And those confidential information seem to involve treasures left behind by a secret organization."
The treasure left behind... Lumian and Franka simultaneously remembered the Castle of Dilan that "I have a friend" mentioned.
This mysterious castle is hidden somewhere, and the main scene in "Loki"'s dream is a towering and gloomy old castle.
"007" continued:
"Some members of the Eighth Bureau also suspected that the terrifying aura that appeared that night was related to the missing "Puppet Master." An intelligence supervisor named Antoine repeatedly asked for the corresponding details."
Antoine... He felt that "Loki" would not disappear on his own, so he must have encountered some kind of accident? Lumian wrote down the name.
After telling the rumors, "007" glanced at "Muggle" and said half-jokingly:
"You'd better not live in the market area. The Hidden Blade has made it a mess and is very dangerous."
"Who said that? Public security has obviously improved!" Franka retorted confidently.
Since she and Lumian eliminated the leaders of the Stinger Gang, the entire market area has been dominated by the Savoyard Party. The frequency of gang fights, shootings and killings and other bad incidents has plummeted, and the security situation has improved significantly.
"007" sighed and said:
"That's on the surface, there are more things involving supernatural powers than ever before.
"Hey, I don't know when I can take a long vacation.
Lumian, who acted as a "Muggle", chatted with "007" for a few more words and then walked back to the "Academy" group.
The "Professor" wearing a black butterfly mask approached him and sighed in a low voice:
"I thought you had problems because of the Hidden Sage's whispers, and you took some time to recuperate. Who knew it was Loki and his gang who did it."
After she cursed "Loki" and the others a few times, she asked "Muggle" as if to confirm:
"Have you noticed some disturbing changes in the whispers of the 'Hidden Sage' in recent months?"
There is no record of this in Aurore's witchcraft notebook... Lumian thought about it for a few seconds and smiled bitterly: "I didn't find it.
"As you know, in the first few months of this year, I was affected by the 'soul summoning technique' and my mental state was very abnormal. Recently, I have sealed part of my personality, and my problems have not been completely solved.
Hey, I had already digested the 'Wizard' potion and prepared to collect materials for promotion, but now I have never dared."
"Professor" expressed his understanding and specifically warned:
"You really should be so cautious. Don't consider taking magic potions until you have cured your mental problem and returned to normal."
At this point, her voice dropped a little lower:
"I found that more living knowledge appeared in the whispers of the Hidden Sage, the kind of knowledge that will chase you and must enter your mind. This makes us, the extraordinary people of the "Secret Sage" path, more advanced than ever before.
It’s dangerous.”
The amount of knowledge that actively pursues the target has increased... Has the status of the "Hidden Sage" changed? Lumian heard his sister Aurore mention the matter of "knowledge chases people away", and he did not show any confusion or ignorance.
He nodded solemnly and said:
"I will be careful.
The "professor" did not emphasize it anymore and continued to discuss the detailed terms of the contract with the "associate professor" and other "college" team members, and "Muggle" Lumian also participated.
It took more than half an hour for each group to summarize the opinions of the members, write them down on paper, and submit them to the "Review Committee".
After the integration, selection and explanation of "Gandalf", "Hela" and others, as well as the collective discussion of all members of the "Curly Baboon Research Society", the terms of the contract were determined with difficulty.
I wonder if everyone can enter the "Land of Darkness" by default. All the people attending the party are time travellers. There is no rule that requires the members of the "Curly Baboon Research Society" to be the same kind of people and to come from the same world. "Hela"
"I knew there were problems in this area, but deliberately didn't mention it. In this way, Lumian fully meets the conditions and is willing to abide by the restrictions of the contract, not to secretly investigate the actual situation of the members of the research association, and not to deliberately harm each other.
There are certain exceptions to this, that is, the contract gives the "Review Committee" the right to investigate suspected members. It cannot conduct private trials and make decisions. It must convene a special meeting to inform all members of the situation, and everyone will vote on whether they are guilty or not.
Approximate scope of punishment.
"Loki" and others who are currently being hunted are not among the protected groups. No matter who they are, they can be executed.
When the contract was approved, "Hidden Blade" Franka, who was standing next to Lumian, breathed a sigh of relief and sighed sincerely:
"When everyone signs the contract, the research association will truly resemble a secret organization.
"Before, it was too loose, too lax, and many things were done on our own initiative."
Lumian, who only showed the lower half of Aurore's face, smiled and said:
"After all, you didn't get together to do anything big before, and you didn't have a strict superior-subordinate relationship. You must be free to do whatever you want."
A loose organization can only gradually mature after experiencing the blows of wind and rain.
While waiting for the vice-president "Apollo" to come up with the super-large occult contract, each group started daily communication.
This time, the theme of each group was focused on the behavior and possible accomplices of "Loki" and others.
"Gandalf", "Headmaster", "Hela", "Hidden Blade" and others walked between different groups, observing the reactions of each member.
Suddenly, the member of the research association disguised as a horse recited the leaving spell, as if he wanted to leave the "Land of Darkness" before the "Review Committee" patrolled near him.
"A transcendent person from ancient times, the Lord of the Kingdom of Night, the sublime Mother of Heaven...
This voice echoed in the ancient palace, but before the figure finished reciting the incantation, his eyes closed and he fell to the ground and fell asleep.
The surrounding members of the "Curly-haired Baboon Research Association" were startled at first, and then they understood what was going on.
They cursed one after another:
"traitor!
This is "Loki's" hidden accomplice.
After completely controlling the traitor, the "Review Committee" continued patrolling.
After another quarter of an hour, the deed, which was the size of two dining tables, was produced, with the signature of the "notary public" on it.
This tiredness made the vice president "Apollo" drink the potion provided by "Gandalf" to relieve his mental fatigue.
In the following time, the members of the "Curly-haired Baboon Research Society" walked up the steps one by one, read the contract under the witness of the "Review Committee", and signed the nicknames they had used for many years.
During this process, the fog outside the ancient palace became thicker, as if blocking possible external interference.
After all the members signed, three more traitors were found out.
One of them trembled and turned into a torch of light as soon as he finished signing, one tried to kidnap the companion next to him, but fell asleep directly, and the other chose to confess after witnessing these situations.
After a vote, the one who confessed was treated by the "hypnotist", forgot the relevant memories, and was expelled from the seminar. The remaining three became extraordinary characteristics.
"Hela" finally said:
"Gandalf and I will confirm the family situation of these members. If they are ordinary people and there are no problems, I suggest that the extraordinary characteristics be auctioned, exchanged for money, and given to them. This is a kind of compensation."
This is not compensation for evil deeds, but compensation for the corresponding member occupying the body of another relative and being unable to provide help.
It has been five or six years since the members of the "Curly Baboon Research Society" traveled to this world. Many of them have partners and children. They were all touched by what they heard and felt that their families should not be harmed.
Lumian had no objection at all. He still regarded himself as an outsider.
In the remaining time, he wandered around various groups, and based on the tips given by "Hidden Blade" Franka, he discovered two "artisans" who could make magical items.
He was not in a hurry to contact the "craftsmen" and entrusted them with the extraordinary characteristics of "Hypnotist" from "I Have a Friend", planning to wait for Anthony Reed.
A "hypnotist" can provide much more help than the corresponding magical items. After all, most magical items cannot speak and cannot give advice or guidance.
Because of the "Loki" incident and seeing the hidden traitor exposed with their own eyes, many members of the "Curly Baboon Research Society" lost their mood and chose to leave directly without stopping. There were fewer and fewer people in the ancient palace.
.
The "professor" and "associate professor" couple who originally wanted to organize a real-life gathering of the "college" group in Trier also temporarily gave up the idea.
At noon the next day, Lumian took a piece of Rouen meat pie and walked slowly to the Breeze Ballroom.
As soon as he entered the cafe on the second floor, he saw "Mouse" Christo.
The short smuggling leader with a mustache came up to him with a smile on his face.
"Are you in trouble?" Lumian raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile.
At the same time, he muttered in his heart:
This guy is a Sequence 8 "Animal Tamer", and further up is a Sequence 7 "Vampire". With his appearance, I don't know how the potion will increase his charm. Will it make him taller?
Christo said with a "hehe" smile:
"I have something to ask you. I'm a little undecided."
Lumian pulled up a chair and sat down:
"whats the matter?
Christo, who looked like a large mouse, glanced around and said:
"The Trier Cave Society invited me to join it.
"Why did they find me?"
The Trier Cave Association is an association of people who like to explore and study caves. Later, it also included concepts such as mines and attracted a group of mine owners to join the association.
In Trier, the area with the most caves is underground.
