In the evening, Market Avenue, Breeze Ballroom.
As soon as Lumian reached the door, the two gangsters guarding there came over to greet him: “Good evening, boss.
Still wearing a white shirt with a black vest and his sleeves rolled up high, Lumian, full of youthful temperament, smiled and nodded.
Louis and Sakota had been waiting for the new leader to come back, and when they saw him walk into the dance hall, they immediately left the bar and put on smiles.
Boss, why don't you take us with you? You will be unprotected! Louis showed his loyalty in this way.
Lumian responded with a smile, "You protect me?" "I'm really worried that you will be beaten to death if something happens, and I will have to pay you a pension."
Louis smiled awkwardly and said: "I know you are very powerful, boss, and you can handle "Hammer" At "Wolf" Maggot by yourself, but there is a saying that two fists are no match for four hands, and we all have guns and our shooting skills are pretty good.
Two fists cannot defeat four hands? Isn't this what Emperor Roselle said? How did it become a common saying? Yes, Aurore also suspected that many swear words also came from Emperor Roselle, but no one has verified it.
Lumian looked at Louis, who looked like a tough guy but had a flattering smile on his face, and Sakota, who had slightly curly red hair, a strong and sturdy figure and thick lips, and nodded slightly and said: You can follow me when I tell you to, but when I don’t, just help me watch the dance hall. Whoever dares to make trouble will be shot.
"Well, where's the shooting range?"
It's in the basement of the dance hall. Louis pointed to the bottom of his feet and said, "Other bosses will also come here to practice shooting, but they must bring their own bullets."
"very good."
Lumian nodded with satisfaction. He had an urgent need to practice his marksmanship, as he lacked effective long-range attack methods.
Louis asked again: "Boss, the environment over there at the Golden Rooster Hotel is too bad. Do you want to move to the ballroom? There are several rooms on the second floor for you to choose from. Or: do you plan to live directly in the room that Baron Brinell originally used for temporary rest?"
He was eager to show his attitude, because he and Sakota used to be Baron Brinell's confidants. If they failed to gain the trust of the new leader, they might be sent to do things like gatekeeping. In that case, not only would their status decline, they would also be bullied by those Savoy party members with whom they had a bad relationship, and their income would also be significantly reduced.
Lumian thought for a moment and said, "Show me the rooms."
It was just right for the ceremony to summon the messenger of the "Magician" lady. Lumian had no plans to check out of the room in the Golden Rooster Hotel for the time being. His idea was: every night, after sending away his two personal bodyguards, Louis and Sakota, he would randomly choose one of the rooms on the second floor of the Breeze Ballroom and Room 207 of the Golden Rooster Hotel to sleep in order to avoid attacks at night to the greatest extent possible. Occasionally, he would also include the safe house he rented on White Coat Street as an option.
He felt that the Sting Gang would not let him off easily. This guy had killed three of their leaders and was extremely provocative. If the official suppression was relaxed a little, they would most likely resort to assassination and other acts of revenge.
Lumian was very sure that the other party had been picked on, because his potion had been further digested, and in another month or two, he would be able to consider being promoted to "Arsonist".
Lumian himself is not too worried about being secretly attacked by the Sting Gang leaders such as "Black Scorpion" Roger. He has Mr. K's Finger, which is equivalent to Prelude 5.
Susanna and Matidis, both Extraordinaries, have a good chance of stopping them, not to mention Roger the Black Scorpion who have not yet become the Sowers? "He was just afraid that if a fight really broke out, Mr. K would not be able to hold back and kill Roger the Black Scorpion. In that case, Louis Lund would definitely not appear again, and the clue would be cut off.
On the second floor, through the cafe. Entering the corridor, after looking around, Lumian pointed to the room closer to his office and said: Let's choose him."
The room was furnished with various relatively classical furniture, with a four-piece set of dark red swan-woven fabrics, and was very clean. There was even an easy chair with a cushion.
"Boss, do we need to replace all these cloth products with new ones?" Louis asked flatteringly.
Compared to him, Sakota is more silent.
No need." Lu Jian found an excuse; he sent two personal bodyguards to guard the door leading from the cafe to the second-floor corridor, locked the door himself, sat down at the large wooden table by the window, and began to write a letter to the "magician" lady.
In the letter, he first emphasized that he had completed Mr. K's mission, initially gained the other party's trust, was preached by him, and hoped to join the secret organization behind him. He then asked whether he should really pray to Mr. K's Lord and whether this would lead to him being watched by that existence. Finally, he mentioned what he had done recently and pointed out that certain coincidences made him uneasy.
After folding the letter neatly, Lumian set up the altar and created the "spiritual wall".
After completing the summoning ceremony, he looked at the candlelight that was stained with a faint blue hue, and waited in the cold and eerie environment. Not long after, the "doll" that was as tall as his forearm appeared above the flames. It was wearing a pale gold dress and scanned the area with its unfocused light blue eyes. It raised its right hand and pinched its small, bright white nose: "It stinks! It stinks!"
"This place is not as clean as the previous one!" "Isn't this place very clean?" Lumian looked around in astonishment. "There are no bedbugs, and it has just been cleaned."
The messenger still pinched his nose and said vaguely: There are some old bones buried under the ground here! "They are dirty, smelly and disgusting..."
Then the blonde doll grabbed the letter and disappeared without a second's notice!
Old bones underground, Lumian briefly repeated the messenger's words with a little confusion. He remembered that the Breeze Ballroom seemed to be built on the original church's annex, and the corpses and ashes were moved to the underground cemetery.
After the Savoy Party bought the building, they still felt it was a bit eerie and feared that there might be some corpses left deep underground, so they specially made a spherical statue made of a pile of white skulls and placed it at the door, and engraved the corresponding inscription on it.
From what the messenger had said, Lumian suspected there were still corpses buried underground, and that they were quite old.
"When the St. Roberts Church moved the corpses and ashes from the original tent site to the underground tent pit, they should not have deliberately left some behind, unless they did not discover it, and they did not know. Could it be that there is a cemetery hidden under the original tent site, belonging to the tent site of the Fourth Epoch? That's why the messenger reacted so strongly.
Well, don't worry about those old bones underground for now. Nothing unusual has happened in the Breeze Ballroom over the years. I can't expect something to go wrong right after I arrive, right? "Lumian thought: End the ceremony and clean up the altar."
He sat down in the easy chair, rocked his head gently, and waited for Ms. Magician's reply.
After a while, it was completely dark, and Lumian was considering whether to have Louis and the others deliver dinner directly to the room, or to enjoy it in a cafe or bar.
Suddenly, a square piece of paper fell from the sky and landed on him. This time, the "doll" messenger didn't even show his face, which showed how much he hated the overall "environment" of the Breeze Ballroom.
From now on, I'll just summon him at the Golden Rooster Hotel or the safe house, depending on his reaction.
Lumian unfolded the letter and read it carefully. "Very well done. It seems that you have won Mr. K's appreciation and have been initially recognized by him. Next, you just need to follow his instructions. When necessary, I will inform you in advance to truly achieve your goal.
You can pretend to believe the person Mr. K talked about. Anyway, you already have traces of two of them on you, so adding one more won’t be a big problem. I’m just worried that it will be too crowded.
"Haha, the above sentence is a joke. The real solution is," You can pretend to believe it, but every time you go to see Mr. K, before participating in the corresponding prayer, ask my Lord for the protection of the angels. You should have mastered the corresponding ritual magic, right
If not, look through your sister's witchcraft notebooks.
"In normal times, remember, you must never recall that person's name, even if the order has been disrupted, unless you are sure that you have been blessed by the angel at that time." I know that some things, the more you try not to recall them, the more you can't help but recall them. You can try to seek help from your psychologist in this regard during the next treatment. In other words, you have to postpone the matter of pretending to believe that person until after the next treatment.
"Coincidences must be caused by many factors, reflected in different things." "First, the pollution sealed in your body comes from the existence named Fate. Fate is related to destiny, and it will disturb your destiny to a certain extent... making you meet some people and things that are destined to be met."
"Secondly, Mr. K should have made some arrangements, such as sending people to hide in the shadows to monitor you and giving those gang leaders some psychological hints. This makes me suspect that he is an "audience" whose path is Sequence 6, "hypnotist" or Sequence 5, "dream walker." But according to your previous description, he also has the ability of "notary", so he is most likely a "shepherd". This is Sequence 5 of the "Autumn Prayer" path, and this path belongs to the existence that Mr. K believes in.
The "Shepherd" can shepherd the souls of the Beyonders, several of them, and thus use their abilities, which makes each Shepherd very powerful: standing at the top of the middle sequence.
"Third, it comes from the law of aggregation and the repulsion and aggregation conjecture I mentioned before. Believe me, if nothing unexpected happens, you will encounter more evil god believers, more hunters and witches in a short time.
Work hard, token seven.
Shepherd? Sounds powerful...
I have already met another hunter, plus two witches...
Lumian ignited the reply from the "Magician" lady by means of friction spirituality.
