Chapter 601 Confrontation and Reconciliation (please vote for the last three days)
Night enveloped the earth, stars dotted the sky, and the celebrating citizens of Puerto Santa had all gone home, leaving behind garbage scattered on the ground and the smell of alcohol permeating the air.
The festival is officially over and the busyness will begin again tomorrow.
Lumian drank until the bar closed before leaving. When he came out, he seemed to be the only one left on the street with scattered gas street lamps.
The late night air was tainted with the coolness of the approaching winter. Every time Lumian took a breath, he felt the wonderful feeling of freshness soaking into his lungs. In his ears, he could hear the constant sound of the tide lapping at the shore, which made the night more peaceful.
and profound.
Lumian seemed to be drunk and in a better mood. He put his hands into his trouser pockets and walked briskly around the various garbage left by the celebrants.
No one was seen, and everything was silent.
Just like that, Lumian walked back to the room he rented with a fake ID.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Lugano standing in the living room, pacing back and forth.
"Still not asleep?" Lumian raised his eyebrows.
Lugano looked like he was recovering from a serious injury and said with a complicated expression:
"An hour ago, the captain of the Battle Sisters, Noelia, came to see you. She was not wearing leather armor, but was wearing a very gorgeous long dress. She has a really good figure..."
"Then what?" Lumian asked funnyly.
Lugano replied enviously:
"I said you weren't here, and she left sadly."
"But what does this have to do with you? Why haven't you fallen asleep for a whole hour?" Lumian sneered.
Lugano coughed twice awkwardly:
"I just suddenly had the idea of thinking about my future. Should I return to Trier and continue my career as a doctor, or should I choose a different life?"
Lumian smiled, ignored the "doctor", washed briefly, returned to his room, and fell asleep.
He had a dream, and all kinds of things that happened recently entered his dream in a messy way, forming even weirder and more bizarre stories.
At six o'clock in the morning, Lumian woke up on time, turned over and sat up.
His mind had become clear. As he recalled the dream just now, he suddenly realized that he had missed one detail:
If you do not consider that there may be angels in the "Aurora Society" secretly watching this matter, then the most important part of the entire sea praying ceremony is the "lie" that Amon used the altar in Milo Village to additionally and covertly tell himself.
Added "Steal" ability.
Otherwise, when the energy channel of the spaceship is opened, the explosion of deep power will cause a certain reversal of the situation on the scene, and without the power of the sea, I will not be able to trap the "mad woman" with the authority of the "Governor of the Sea" and drag her to
The "Magician" lady has arrived.
But Tianzun, as the being who stands at the top of the three divine paths of "divineer", "apprentice" and "thief", should have a very complete and profound understanding of the various abilities of the "thief" path, shouldn't he?
Unexpectedly, there might be an Amon hiding in the altar giving him "stealing" power.
It is understandable that He did not tell "April Fool's Day" this knowledge. After all, it is just a expendable tool. Knowing too much will affect the determination and will in action. However, it does not seem consistent that the overall plan failed directly because of this incident.
It makes sense.
Is it that Tianzun's intentions are not just superficial, but has secretly achieved a certain goal, or has Amon and the person behind him done something in advance that caused a similar situation to occur?
If Amon had really been staring at the altar in Milo Village, last year's sea prayer ceremony would not have failed. Of course, the possibility that he wanted to see an "April Fool's Day" joke cannot be ruled out.
But it’s understandable that April Fool’s Day was allowed to do sabotage last year. Shouldn’t the simplest and most trouble-free method this year be to quietly complete the “Hai Hou’s Ring” during the “Homage to the Ancestors” session? Then, watch “
The incoming "Governor of the Sea" pretending to be "Salt-Egg Superman" was shocked and confused to find that the sea ceremony was actually a success!
Why do you have to go in such a big circle and do so many unnecessary things?
There must be something else here that I haven't figured out...
Lumian rubbed his head and walked off the bed.
His knowledge that just emerged was not surprising or unexpected. For such a matter involving a high-level and high-level existence, it would be abnormal if he could quickly figure out the truest purpose of each participant in every link.
Anyway, his goal has been achieved, and the dangerous black hole in the spaceship is still sealed. The rest has nothing to do with him. It's good if he can figure it out. If he can't figure it out, just write to Ms. "Magician", just to mention something.
Awake.
After jogging around Santa Port, which was not yet fully awake, Lumian wrote a letter telling Ms. "Magician" the problem that had just occurred to her.
At this time, Lugano, who was collecting breakfast for Ludwig, also returned to the room.
Lumian thought for a moment, took out a thousand gold li and asked for it to the other party, saying in a gentle voice:
"I will be away for a few days on business, and you will be responsible for taking care of Ludwig. When I come back, this commission will be completely over."
When the time comes, Lumian plans to take a boat to the Southern Continent, make some small plots along the way, and spend some time, so that when he reaches the destination of the Southern Continent, he will be ready for the final plot to advance to Sequence 5.
Lugano didn't ask where his employer was going, but asked a little uneasily:
"Is this going to be dangerous these days?"
"The matter is over." Lumian said with a smile, "If there are really other dangers, you can run to the Abundance Order and seek protection. Isn't this the scene you are looking forward to?"
Lugano smiled and felt reassured by his employer's attitude.
The sun is shining brightly in Santa Puerto, the food is delicious, and the women are enthusiastic. It’s better to stay a few more days!
…………
A two-story stagecoach galloped between rural towns dotted with green pastures, heading towards the foot of the Piraeus Mountains.
Lumian maintained the appearance of the great adventurer Louis Berry, sitting by the window of the stage carriage, quietly looking at the scenery that kept passing behind him:
In every green pasture, there are flocks of sheep scattered like clouds, and the shepherds are walking around in trimmed robes that facilitate movement;
They either lived in shacks they built themselves, or had small huts mounted on wheels that could be moved across the plains;
From time to time, nearby villagers would try to drive away the outsiders who came in, but they would deal with it with a playful smile, or bribe them with money and supplies;
Encountering determined locals, the shepherds coming from the mountain pass had no choice but to move to more wilderness areas to face the prying eyes of wild wolves and other creatures...
The scenes and things once spoken by the shepherds in Kordu Village were reflected in Lumian's eyes in the most intuitive way and stayed in his brain.
Two days later, the stage coach arrived at the foot of the Pilaes Mountains and stopped in a small town outside the mountain pass.
Lumian put on a black woolen coat and entered the mountain alone.
On the mountain ridge, the cold wind gradually became stronger, and almost no one walked in the wild.
Lumian walked in the mountains where the green was already thin, on the roads trodden by shepherds and merchants, under the gray sky with no birds flying around, with no people or animals around, only withered trees and water.
There are few creeks and desolate scenes in winter everywhere.
In such loneliness and coldness, he spent nearly three days climbing over the Daliezhi Mountains step by step and reaching the small river outside Kordu Village.
After bypassing the forest with tall trees, Lumian immediately saw the huge blood-colored pillar that was not tall but gave people the feeling of a mountain.
While staring, he heard footsteps coming from ahead.
It was a middle-aged man wearing a leather jacket with his hands folded.
The middle-aged forest watcher yelled, shivering a little in the cold wind:
"Don't go any further, that village is gone!"
Lumian's gaze moved past the forester and fell on the ruins of buildings in the distance that had either completely collapsed or been burned.
After looking at it for several seconds, he asked in a low voice:
"What happened to that village?"
The man watching Lin glanced around and lowered his voice:
"They said they believed in the devil, and the people in the village went crazy. They burned down their houses and walked into the abyss.
"Look, would a normal village look like this?"
Lumian fell silent and didn't speak for a long time.
When the forest watcher saw this, he said sincerely:
"Anyway, the gentlemen asked me to prevent anyone from entering this village, saying that they would get bad luck and attract the devil."
Lumian remained silent and didn't ask any more questions.
After looking at the strange and familiar ruins for a while, he turned and left the entrance of the village, walking step by step to the nearest alpine pasture in the freezing cold wind.
The pasture here has completely withered and been blown away by the wind, leaving only large areas of brown soil.
Lumian looked at the ruins of Kordu Village here for a long time, found a hut left by the shepherds, and lay down in it.
He closed his eyes and remained motionless.
It would be nice if everything before was just a dream.
When I woke up from the dream, the alpine pastures were still green, birds returned in the sky, the old tavern was full of farmers and herdsmen, my sister continued to urge me to study, Raymond, Ava and others were still worried about their future, I don’t know
What kind of life will there be...
…………
The sun is still shining brightly, but the weather is starting to get colder in Santa Puerto.
Lumian suddenly appeared in front of Lugano and Ludwig.
"You are finally back!" Lugano blurted out as if he had seen his savior.
The child Ludwig's appetite actually increased again, and the thousand gold liso was spent faster than expected!
If Lumian doesn't come back in another week, Lugano will have to consider whether to use his own money.
You can't let your children go hungry, they might become cannibals!
Lumian smiled:
"The commission is over. I will pay you the balance now. Will you be 'teleported' directly back to Trier with my help, or will you take a boat yourself or go back over the Daliez Mountains?"
Lugano fell silent for a moment, seeming to be struggling a little.
