Chapter 33 Substitution

Under the sun, Falingang seems to be dyed with a touch of gold, and the air seems to be filled with the sweetness of sucrose.

Lumian stood at the window, thinking about where the "devil wizard" would be now: when he was rescued last night, Boorman was in a deep coma, and he certainly couldn't tell the undead creatures driven by him where to go, so, then,

The undead creature should have followed instinct and habit and dragged Boorman to a place he frequented and was safe enough.

Normally, Fidel's house would be the first choice, but when Lumian searched there, he found no trace of Boorman's return.

His initial guess was that when Boorman killed Fidel's family and the waiters and servants, he ordered the undead creatures to help. They had remembered that No. 16 Correas Street was a battlefield and an unsafe place, so they chose other hiding places.

place.

Where will that be?

Lumian took out the information on Boorman provided by Franka and the rest of the information he had obtained from Philip, Butner and others from the "Traveler's Bag", and read it again, trying to substitute himself into the "devil"

Wizard", simulating his mental state, thoughts and action choices:

Boorman was born in the Fog Province in the north of Intis, also called the Winter Province, which borders the Fusac Empire. The folk customs are relatively rough and they love strong liquor.

His wife Helen is a native of Falingport, but has no archipelago ancestry - her grandfather was a sugar merchant who traveled between Fallingport and Russell Port. Later, he was pirated and lost most of his business.

He could only rely on the plantation he saved to buy to support his family.

Helen was born and grew up on that plantation, and saw it sold after her grandfather's death due to conflicts between her parents. Her family received a sum of money and moved to Faling Harbor. After that, her father's death and her mother's death

Her serious illness led her to embark on the path of adventurer and met Boorman.

Both of them had encounters in their adventurous careers, gained extraordinary powers, and purchased real estate in Faling Port. They planned for a future life when they were older and no longer wanted to take risks.

A few years ago, they hired a ship with a group of adventurers they were familiar with and went out to sea to hunt for treasure. As a result, they encountered a sea monster. Only Boorman and two other adventurers survived.

After that, Boorman began to try to resurrect his wife, becoming more and more crazy.

"Going out to sea to hunt for treasure? Are there really so many treasures on the sea?" Lumian muttered, thinking that there was a high possibility that Boorman was still in Faling Port.

Here are his best memories and traces of the years he and his wife Helen lived together. When he was preparing a secret hiding place, he would subconsciously choose this area.

With this speculation in mind, Lumian continued to read the later part of the information.

As he thought, Boorman's previous dangerous attempts had all occurred in the area around the Misty Sea Islands, including other islands and the villages and towns along the coast of the northern continent. If they were connected into irregular concentric circles, he would find that the "center of the circle"

"In Port Farin, Saint-Ique.

Boorman uses Falling Port as his base and makes various resurrection attempts... He has never done anything in Falling Port before, why is this an exception? If I were Boorman, in a semi-crazy state, I would definitely regard Falling Port as my soul.

The home above, the collection of all good memories, would not normally destroy the order here, and would even secretly maintain and deal with some bold pirates and adventurers... Lumian analyzed thoughtfully.

With.

He replaced Falin Port with Kordu Village. He believed that if his sister's death had nothing to do with Kordu Village and the village was still peaceful, who would dare to affect the daily life of Kordu Village and change the situation there?

In this state, whoever is your enemy is your enemy!

He frowned slightly, feeling that there might be some very important details that had not been clarified about the explosion the night before. The subsequent reason why Boorman killed Fidel and his family after saying something wrong may also be due to this factor - Fidel and

Having cooperated with Boorman for many years, he should not be unaware that his mental state is unstable and he may go crazy at any time. How could such a shrewd businessman not consider the possible impact of his words on the "devil wizard"?

Moreover, Boorman wanted to kill the adventurer Louis Berry in order to cover up his cooperation with Fidel. He had already killed Fidel, so why was there any need to silence Lumian?

Perhaps according to Fidel's experience, he could convince Boorman to wait a few days before taking action. Who knows, Boorman was already in a state of madness at the time, and he acted completely instinctively.

After thinking for a moment, Lumian decided to enter Faling Port again and visit the "former home" of Boorman and Helen.

Although the place had long been sold by Boorman in exchange for funds for the resurrection experiment, and was closely watched by official extraordinary people, there is still the possibility of leaving important clues: in case the crazy Boorman insists on returning to his "former home" to take a look.

What do you think?

After instructing Lugano to take care of Ludwig, Lumian went down to the deck and met Philip.

The safety director of the "Bird" looked at Lumian with a complicated expression, and did not mention the room that seemed to have been bombarded by artillery. He said to himself: "I divided the remaining repair cost among the participating workers and

waiter."

What he meant was, I paid for all the people who should be silenced.

"You can also get one yourself." Lumian responded with a smile.

Philip shook his head and sighed: "Nothing like this will happen on the way from Faling Port to Santa Port. This is the best reward for me."

"I'll try my best," Lumian said sincerely.

He didn't make any promises, after all, some things were beyond his control.

He also wanted to arrive at Santa Port safely and start tracking the "Bard" and "Salty Egg Superman", the core members of "April Fool's Day".

Philip stared at Lumian for a few seconds, as if thinking about whether to report this guy in advance.

He sighed again: "The port blockade will be lifted tonight, and the Bird will sail again tomorrow morning. Don't miss it." Ye Lumian nodded and asked curiously, "Have you caught the devil wizard?"

"

"No, but it is basically determined to have nothing to do with the ships in the port, and he didn't hide here." Philip said casually, "

Boorman also killed the big businessman Fidel and his family last night. They seemed to have a cooperative relationship before. Maybe Fidel wanted to betray him..."

Having said this, Philip glanced at Lumian keenly: "Last night, there was a fight in your room. Is it related to this matter?"

"What do you think it has to do with it?" Lumian asked funnyly.

Philip thought about it carefully and found that he really couldn't connect the two things.

Upon seeing this, Lumian waved his hand, put on his golden straw hat, went down the gangway to the pier, and left the port area.

As soon as he arrived at Plaza del Sol where there were many wanted posters posted, he saw a man from the Archipelago with brown skin, sunken eye sockets and dark eyes came up to him and handed over a folded book with a large number of words and simple patterns printed on it.

paper.

"Travelers coming and going, this is the travel guide to Faling Port, which has the most beautiful scenery, the most unique food and the most charming shops." The people from the archipelago introduced enthusiastically, "It can help you spend your time here.

A wonderful few days.”

Lumian asked very cooperatively: "How much?"

"No need to spend money, it will be given to you for free!" the archipelago man replied with a high-pitched voice, "This is printed by the government and is specially provided to tourists. I hope you can leave a good impression on Faling Port."

"That's great." Lumian took the travel guide with a look of "surprise" and unfolded it on the spot.

This part is an introduction to the beautiful scenery, and part is a recommendation of various shops, including cane sugar shops, style bars, famous food stores, etc., etc.

With a swipe, Lumian pulled out the revolver and pressed it against the middle of the Islands man's forehead.

The man from the Islands was stunned, and after a few seconds he stammered: "No, I don't charge you, you don't have to pay, I didn't lie to you!"

Is such a small thing worth drawing a gun?

I'm going to call the police!

Lumian smiled and asked: "What is the relationship between these recommended shops and you?"

"No..." The archipelago man felt the coldness of the gun and gradually changed his words, "They, they paid us to recommend them, and some of them were opened by our partners."

"How many are normal stores?" Lumian asked without being affected at all.

"Ninety percent." As soon as the archipelago man finished speaking, he saw the adventurer on the opposite side pulling back the hammer of the revolver.

He quickly added: "Ninety percent has to do with us."

"What about those scenery?" Lumian chuckled.

"One hundred percent, fifty percent, only plantations and primitive tribes are related to us." The people from the archipelago were trembling with fear.

Lumian shook the unfolded travel guide, looked at the people of the islands with a smile and said: "Point out the real ones."

The people from the Islands quickly clicked on different content, worried that the other party's gun would suddenly go off.

Lumian then put away his revolver, took the travel guide, and walked to the open-air market on the other side of Plaza del Sol.

He just said so much to the Islander. On the one hand, he wanted to scare the liar, but on the other hand, he suddenly had an idea:

For Boorman, who has lived in Port Faling for many years, are some of the food and scenery here also part of the good memories?

When he was frustrated, killed his best partner, and suffered defeat in the battle, would he, being crazy and paranoid, go to a place with good memories to draw strength and fill his soul?

Lumian asked himself, if he were in that state, he would have behaved similarly.

Reason may tell him that this may be tracked and discovered, but half-crazy people often don't listen to reason.

Therefore, whether it is the moonlight of the lighthouse, the sunset on the volcano, or the delicacies such as Repto minced pork, Gasparro paella, Santík chocolate ice cream, etc., there is a possibility that the "devil wizard" will secretly visit you.

And in that state, he would most likely not handle the traces very carefully.

Lumian pressed the golden straw hat on his head, walked through the open-air market, and walked towards the cliff mountain outside Falin City.

The lighthouse of Port Faling is right there.
