Among the countries in the Northern Continent, only the "Storm Lord" of Loen has authority over the ocean. However, sailors, merchants and adventurers who believe in other gods all have the need to pray for corresponding protection from shipwrecks and extreme weather.
, so there are some compromises or special situations:
Some churches have established gods, angels, and saints with abilities in storms and oceans for believers with corresponding needs to pray, such as the "Poseidon" of the "Fool" Church;
Some churches tacitly allow some believers to believe in the "Lord of the Storm" in a casual way;
Some churches turn a blind eye to the native folk beliefs of ports and islands, allowing them to hold specific ceremonies, but do not send clergy to preside over them.
The Santa Port Sea Praying Ceremony in the Kingdom of Feneport falls into this last category. The corresponding folk customs are said to date back to the Fourth Age. It is held once a year, and its scale is controlled by the Church of the "Mother Goddess of the Earth".
It is quite large, covering only this one port, and does not promote it to the outside world.

In other words, almost no one who is not a local of Santa Port, or a businessman, adventurer or pirate who often operates along the coast of the Misty Sea, knows that there is such a sea praying ceremony.
After Lumian obtained the corresponding information, he initially judged that one of the "bards" and "salty egg supermen" who played a prank at the sea prayer ceremony was either a local of Santa Port, or someone active at sea.
people.
Combined with the fact that "The Bard's" "Secret Records of Emperor Russell" was specially given to the underground bookseller in Trier for publication, Lumian is more inclined to believe that "Salt Egg Superman" was the first person to propose causing trouble at the sea prayer ceremony in Santa Port.
The one.
——Although "Secret Records of Emperor Russell" is more suitable for sale in Intis upon hearing it, if the "bard" lives in the Kingdom of Feneport for a long time, then considering its own safety and confidentiality, it should be sold before Feineport.
It would be a better choice to publish it under the name of the Kingdom of Nebot and then sell it to Intis through illegal channels, otherwise it would be easy to be targeted by the secret police of Intis.
I don't know how many Extraordinaries simply looked down upon ordinary police officers and investigators, were noticed by them, and were brutally arrested by the official Extraordinaries who came after hearing the news.
Hearing that Butner and his female companion wanted to see the sea prayer ceremony in Santa Port, Lumian smiled and waved: "Me too!"
He withdrew his body from the window and waited until almost noon before writing a letter about his experiences in the past two days and the disposal of Boorman's "legacy".
After folding the letters and wrapping them with the fake treasure map, Lumian summoned Xia Zuotu again.
This rabbit-like spiritual creature still wears the same pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and even has a small, vague, half-height silk top hat.
Lumian stared in silence for a few seconds and handed over the things that needed to be sent to Franka and Jenna.
"Thank you." He said politely.
This is polite!
"You're welcome." Xia Zuotu took off his half-high silk hat and bowed slightly.
Lumian's mouth twitched slightly as he watched the mutated "Rabbit of Knowledge" disappear into the room.
He was really worried that one day the rabbit would draw a gun against the sender if he disagreed with the letter.

Next time I have to tell Jian Na not to feed Xia Zuo Tu such dangerous knowledge!

Apartment 702, Orosei Street 9, Memorial District, Trier.
Franka looked at Xia Zuotu, who was wearing a half-top hat and gold-rimmed glasses. She couldn't help but lean into Janna's ear and whispered: "Is it too dangerous to read the Adventurer series of novels to it?"
"Don't you think Xia Zuotu is cute like this?
"Moreover, the messenger will also be in danger. Watch Gehrman Sparrow more, it may become stronger."
Franka just mentioned it casually, then put it aside, unfolded the fake treasure map and letter paper, and read it carefully:
"Wow, Lumian is so efficient. He said he wanted to punish Boorman for his crime, but he completed the hunt in less than twelve hours!"
"The extraordinary characteristics did not form a sealed object with a mixture of abilities, but were separated and combined... Because before Boorman died, he no longer had that kind of madness and paranoia, and his mood became calm?"
"Hey, if you encounter similar cases in the future, there is no need to notify '007' so quickly. Wait a day, maybe Lumian will solve it by himself, and everything will be business as usual, and the world will be peaceful. Then '007' can't blame me for always giving him
It’s causing trouble.”
She has told Jian Na that her official collaborator code name is "007".
"So fast? The 'Devil Wizard' is not weak..." Jian Na couldn't believe it.
That was a criminal with a bounty of 600,000 ferkin. All the ferkin she had seen so far did not add up to that much!
Lumian's bounty is less than 100,000.
Franka curled her lips and said, "If you think about what he went through in Trier, and what he has and his abilities, he is like a supermodel, okay?"

"When he is released, it can be said to be a dimensionality-reducing strike against ordinary Extraordinaries. It will not be much worse than most Sequence 5s!"
Jenna recalled the scene when she and Lumian experienced danger together, nodded slowly and said: "What is dimensionality reduction?"
Franka was stunned for a moment, and after a few seconds she said: "It's similar to adults bullying children, and demigods bullying mid- and low-sequence extraordinary people."
"Furthermore, if you think about it, semi-crazy extraordinary people like the 'Devil Wizard' have huge mental, psychological, emotional and physical problems. They are completely restrained by the Lumiangan 'Hate Movement', and he
In battle, you just need to be careful of the strange combination of abilities and don't stimulate him into a monster. Lumian has experience and will definitely not be careless."
"Listening to what you said, why do I think killing the 'devil wizard' is not too difficult?" Jian Na muttered in a low voice:
"I can't say that. I can only say that the forced transfer path will indeed become stronger and more dangerous, but it also has great shortcomings and many problems, and it is easy to be targeted." Franka corrected Jenna's incorrect view.
, while reading Lumian’s letter.
After reading it, she excitedly said: "The sea is so fun and the scenery is beautiful. If it weren't for the mission, I would also like to be an adventurer at sea and hunt pirates!"
Jian Na, who was leaning on the back of the sofa and looking at the letter from behind, was also a little anxious.
Who doesn’t love traveling? It’s just that I didn’t have the conditions before.
After calming down her surging mood, Franka clicked her tongue and said, "Lumian is so generous. He actually donated all the bounties and trophies to establish a charity fund."
"Hey, actually I can understand his thinking..."
Until now, she is still secretly supporting the relatives of the original owner of the body.
While talking, Franka and Janna each started doing "magic mirror divination".
The answers they got were unanimous: that map is real!
"Both Boorman and Harrison, the immortal islander, both admitted that part of this map is fake and cannot help the adventurers reach Easter Island. They may even encounter great dangers on the way... It is fake.
Where is it?" Franka cast her eyes on the treasure map and fell into deep thought.

On the map, the place marked Easter Island is located deep in the Misty Sea, and Aroka, the westernmost colonial island of the Republic of Intis, is still far away from it.
"Can't you tell the fake part?" Lumian shook his head after receiving the reply and continued to read the information on spiritual world creatures in his hand.
He was looking to see if there was any introduction to the "Arden" evil spirit summoned by Boorman from the depths of death.
After reading the information until evening, Lumian filled his stomach in the room, took the golden straw hat that he liked recently, went down to the deck, and entered the bar.
At this time, the "Bird" was far away from Faling Port. As expected, Butner and his female companion were sitting at the bar, chatting enthusiastically with the surrounding passengers about the death of "The Devil Wizard" Boorman.
"We don't know which adventurer did it. If it hadn't been officially announced, we wouldn't have known that Boorman had been killed. In the entire adventurer circle in Faling Port, no one knew the news in advance!" Butner said with a smile.
Lielangqi said happily, "There is such a powerful adventurer hiding in Faling Port! Sure enough, we can't be arrogant or arrogant. Maybe the tramp sitting on the roadside is a powerful person!"
At this point, he saw Lumian squeezing over and whistled: "You live in first class? Are you so rich?"
"Not rich." Lumian smiled and sat on the high stool, "I just think that when you go to sea, you may encounter accidents at any time and be killed by pirates at any time, so why not try to be kind to yourself?
If a person dies, what's the point of saving more money? Since you have become an adventurer, you have to live every day wantonly, because you don't know if there will be tomorrow."
"Since you have become an adventurer, you have to live every day with abandon, because you don't know if there will be tomorrow..."
The female adventurer beside Turner repeated Lumian's last words in a low voice, seeming to be touched.
Butner took a sip of Lielangzi, laughed and said: "But the prerequisite is that you have a certain amount of savings, otherwise you will end up being wanton today and you will be hungry tomorrow."
"Oh, 600,000 ferkin. I don't know which adventurer Boorman's 600,000 ferkin fell into the hands of, and the items he had on him..."
Butner showed an expression of yearning and envy.
Lumian picked up the absinthe he ordered and took a sip.
A touch of bitterness echoes in the fragrance.

In the next few days, the "Bird" sailed calmly towards the Kingdom of Feneport.
In this regard, Philip, the security director, had an unreal feeling.
Is the bad luck over?
Big Trouble Disembarked?
The death of "Devil Wizard" Boorman was due to the big trouble in Port Faling?
Seeing that Santa Port would be reached in one day, Philip saw his men bringing a telegram over.
"Boss, it was sent by your comrades in Faling Port." The subordinate handed the folded telegram to Philip.
Is there anything in Faling Port that I need to inform me about? Big trouble has occurred in Faling Port. Has the "Bird" been traced?
Philip unfolded the telegram in confusion and scanned the content: "The adventurer who hunted the 'Devil Wizard' Boorman is suspected to be on your ship.
