Chapter 2 Sin (asking for monthly votes in the last half day)
Regarding Franka's suggestion, Lumian said nonchalantly: That's okay. If any of you want to use this armor in the future, I will 'teleport' it to you.
"What is this called? This is called Shire Post, delivered immediately!"
After making a joke, he walked to the "Arrogance Armor" standing on the side of the coffee table and stuffed its silver-white gloves into the opening of the "Traveler's Bag".
With this movement, the tall full-body armor shrank into a small dark black cloth bag.
——As long as one part of an item can enter the "traveler's bag", no matter how big it is, it can pass through the opening without exceeding the accommodation space, but living flesh and blood cannot normally pass through it.
Pack it into "traveler's bag".
Based on these two points, when Lumian got this extraordinary item and its "instructions", his first reaction was that it could be used to hide corpses.
It's really magical..." Jian Na looked at this scene with a little envy.
She has attended many occult gatherings and has never seen anything like this before. The closest thing to this is the world in the painting.
After Lumian hid the "traveler's bag" inside his clothes, he looked around with a smile and said to Anthony and Jenna: "After what happened this time, you should be able to tell that there is something behind Franka and I."
It's a secret organization, not the 'Iron Cross', nor the Witch Cult. What do you think? Are you interested in joining? If not, you are required to sign a confidentiality agreement or make a binding commitment to keep secrets."
Jenna had heard Lumian and Franka mention the secret organization before, and knew that the person they truly believed in was Mr. Fool. She knew that the man who used Tarot cards as his code name had received the response from "The Fool" at this time.
She no longer hesitated: "I want to be one of you."
Anthony Reed was silent for a few seconds and asked tentatively: "Is your organization following a certain hidden existence?"
"It's Zhengshen." Lumian said, "I understand your concerns. If you don't believe it, I can take you to visit the church."
Anthony observed his eyes and expression to make sure he was not lying.
The "psychiatrist" smiled bitterly and said: "Then I have no problem. The previous encounters and this incident have made me understand one truth, that is, I am still too weak to prevent such a disaster from happening.
Even if it appears around me, I can only watch myself and the people around me fall into the abyss."
If you want to strengthen yourself, joining a secret organization is a good choice, especially if that secret organization follows a certain righteous god.
As a believer in the "God of Steam and Machinery", Anthony thought carefully about it just now and found that there is no content in the church's holy scriptures that is hostile to any righteous god. Unlike the "Eternal Burning Sun" church, which always teaches believers to hate "
Lord of Storms" is related to "God of Knowledge and Wisdom".
In other words, faith will not prevent Anthony from joining such a secret organization.
Without waiting for Lumian and Franca to respond, Anthony laughed at himself and said: "I originally thought about returning to the west coast of Jianhai to live a rural life, but now I am worried that there is no way to truly escape the disaster, just like the people in the market area
, who is willing to suffer mutations again and again, wandering on the edge of life and death? However, their will and their wishes have no effect.
"From my personal experience, disasters are becoming more and more frequent."
Lumian laughed at his companion: "You became verbose after your mental illness was cured."
He immediately said: "After you have determined which Major Arcana card you belong to and have been assigned a task, we can discuss the rest of the matter."
Jian Na pursed her lips and said with a somewhat gloomy expression: "I actually quite like living in the market area..."
Now it looks like I need to move out of here.
Lumian laughed: "This is actually the protection of the market area. 'Hunters' and 'Witches' always bring disaster."
Always brings disaster, even if nothing is done? Jian Na's eyes narrowed and she fell into deep thought.
"Go away! It's obvious that you are the only one like this!" Franka scolded angrily and amusingly.
In recent months, most of the disasters in the market area have happened around Shire. What does it have to do with Jenna and me?
Doesn’t that prove that “007” is right?
After explaining other things, Lumian and Franka walked out of No. 3 White Coat Street in the morning sunshine. One destination was the "Psychic" magazine headquarters on Sher Street in the Boulevard District, and the other was going to Xiamen.
About town.
Lumian did not take the public carriage as usual, but chose a four-wheeled two-seater taxi.
Outside the car window, street vendors sell sour wine, meat pies, freshwater fish, onion bread, hot sauce, refried beans and other items. Pedestrians either stop to buy or pass by in a hurry. Some are dressed as clerks, and some are wearing clothes.
Worker uniforms of different colors.
After last night's riots and apocalyptic showers, it was a lively and noisy scene again.
For Lumian, this is no different from the previous market area, except that he has become a wanted criminal again, as Charles Dubois, a member of the "Iron-Blooded Cross" and the leader of the Savoy Party.
Industries such as the Breeze Dance Hall were undoubtedly taken over by the Police Headquarters, and the power of the "Iron-Blooded Cross" in the market area
Almost uprooted.
Lumian regretted this because it meant he lost a stable source of money.
Of course, after taking Ludwig in last night and telling Ms. "Magician" about the information, he took advantage of the chaos to go back to the Breeze Ballroom and took away the 3 items in the safe.
Ten thousand ferkin, now he has a total of 75,000 ferkin and gold worth 1,000.
Looking at the people coming and going and listening to the cries of the vendors, Lumian's thoughts gradually wandered.
"Report" what happened last night to Mr. K, and after obtaining the consent of the "Aurora Society" envoy, he will leave Trier and go to the Kingdom of Feneport.
Before the trip officially takes place, he still has three things to do:
The first is to find Lugano Toscano, who is unemployed again, and ask him if he is willing to follow him to Santa Port in the Kingdom of Feneport - this extraordinary person who has become a Sequence 8 "physician" often visited Feineport in the past.
During the adventure in the Kingdom of Nebot, he can speak fluent Plateau language, while Lumian only knows Intis and Ancient Fusac. If he rushes to the destination, he will fall into the dilemma of relying solely on body language to communicate;
The second is to wait for Jenna and Anthony's Major Arcana cards to arrange their tasks to see if they can act together and help each other;
The third is to use the messenger-related spiritual creature information that came with the magic potion formula given to the "Reaper" by the "Magician" lady, and try to have a messenger. In this way, it will be more convenient to contact Franka and the others in the future. In addition,
He also needs to perform rituals to increase one or two contract abilities.
Boulevard area, No. 19 Scheer Street, the bottom of the off-white luxurious house.
Lumian met Mr. K again in the basement.
The divine envoy, whose face was obscured by the shadow of his hood, sat on a red armchair and looked at Lumian with deep eyes.
"I entered the fourth era of Trier last night." Lumian went straight to the point, trying to attract Mr. K's attention to this matter.
Mr. K's hooded head seemed to nod: "I know, please tell me the whole story."
You know? While Lumian was stunned, he started talking about catching Bovard Pompeiro in the process of revenge, and continued until he and Franca and others defeated the Gardner in the mirror and used that special mirror world.
Escaped from Quaternary Trier.
In the whole thing, he only talked about his own experience, but did not talk about Jiana and the others' experiences or the speculations he made based on it. For example, he did not mention the lucky gold coins and Janna's prayer to Mr. Fool. He only said that he had an inexplicable progress.
The world in the painting.
Likewise, he didn't go into many details.
Mr. K listened attentively and did not interrupt Lumian's statement.
When Lumian proposed that the "Iron Cross" market branch had been cleared, his identity was exposed and he could no longer hide. He wanted to leave Trier for a while and go to Feneport to track down his enemies. Mr. K stood up.
He said in a hoarse voice: "No problem."
"You can always ask for my help."
After speaking, without waiting for Lumian to respond, the divine envoy of the "Aurora Society" turned around, suddenly knelt down, and crawled to the ground.
Mr. K's face was pressed tightly against the floor tiles, and he was mumbling to himself, not knowing what he was doing.
Lumian waited quietly without interrupting Mr. K. He only felt that the shadows around him became darker, and it seemed as if there were eyes looking at him one after another, which made him unable to help but make the hairs on his body stand up and his spine shiver.
However, he was not nervous. He thought it was normal for people in the "Aurora Society" to suddenly go crazy and do weird things.
After an unknown amount of time, Mr. K coughed violently in an indescribable coagulation, and some blood seemed to spatter on the ground.
He then raised his head and said in a hoarse voice that hinted at madness: "Merciful Father, please forgive me for the sins I have committed."
After saying this three times in a row, Mr. K put his face back on the ground and made sounds that sounded like chewing and swallowing.
After doing all this, he stood up and tapped his chest four times in order of up, down, left and right.
"What happened, why do you need to repent?" Lumian then asked out of curiosity.
Mr. K said in a hoarse voice: "Last night's disaster, our Aurora Society failed to respond in time and failed to cooperate with you to destroy the ceremony. This was my dereliction of duty."
"This is not your responsibility." Lumian responded with a slight movement of his lips.
This is mainly because the actions taken by the "Tarot Society" led to the advancement of the "Hotel" plan. It is good that the "Aurora Society" was able to quickly figure out what happened. There is no need to regret this and take the blame for the mistake.
Mr. K shook his head: "No matter what the reason is, if you don't do it well, you are guilty."
Do you want to be so responsible... You are just a secret organization, not a fanatical believer in the "Eternal Blazing Sun"... Lumian muttered silently.
As if aware of his thoughts, Mr. K opened his arms and said extremely enthusiastically: "Because we, the Aurora Society, are born to bear all sins."
I think you are too extreme... Lumian had a hard time controlling his expression.
