The "Iron Cross" seems to be planning something very important. Lumian finally understands the real purpose of Mr. K asking him to join a gang.
The struggle for faith involving the equally secretive organization "Iron Cross" seems to be related to the situation in Trier.
After thinking for a while, Lumian asked, "What kind of organization is the Iron Cross?"
The more he knew, the more likely he was to behave in a way that would be appreciated and approved of by Gardner Martin.
Mr. K laughed softly and said, "Wait for Gardner Martin to tell you in person. If you know their specific situation in advance, they may find problems in some details."
So they chose me, a simple, ignorant country boy with a wanted warrant, to be their "spy"? All they wanted was a blank sheet of paper with a simple background? Lumian nodded thoughtfully.
He thought of Gardner. Martin had brought the mysterious item into Trier through the "rat" Christo, and thought of the Savoy Party also supporting Hugh Artois. He thought for two seconds and said, "Could the Iron Cross's plan be related to Hugh Artois?"
Mr. K replied hoarsely, "According to the intelligence we have collected, that is only one part of the problem, not the main part."
I see. Lumian then turned to the subject of the "Man in the Mirror" and concluded, "Gardner Martin seemed to have known in advance that the item he had the smuggler caravan deliver would bring about a corresponding accident."
Mr. K was silent for a while and then said, "I suspect that it is a very important and crucial item, and this is also something you need to figure out.
"Don't worry, we in the Aurora Club will never be stingy with rewards. When the time comes, you can make any request you want."
Just as Lumian was about to say in his mind, "Help me revive my sister," he heard Mr. K add, "As long as it's within my ability."
You are quite honest. If I really become a formal member of the Iron Cross, I can get access to relevant information. The Iron Cross will definitely give me some membership benefits, and I can turn around and ask for rewards from the Aurora Society. Well... This is equivalent to further completing the task of Ms. Magician. She will not fail to reward me, the holder of the Little Arcana card... Doing one thing and getting three rewards, such "treatment" is not common... Lumian sighed silently, and said with the mentality of not caring about being rejected: "I need some activity funds now."
[Given the general environment,
The purpose of using activity funds is to improve personal strength and lay a "solid foundation" for completing tasks.
Mr. K seemed to nod his head. "No problem. I will give you 10,000 Felkins later. This is the benefit for you to officially join our Aurora Club and participate in a high-risk mission."
In Intis, welfare is a commonly used term that comes from Emperor Roselle.
It's so generous... At this moment, Lumian couldn't help but wonder if he should find a few more similar secret organizations to join and get more membership benefits.
Mr. K stood up, lowered his hands, and walked slowly around Lumian.
As he walked, he said solemnly: "My Lord is the great existence who created this world and the father of all living things." In essence, each of us comes from her and possesses the divinity given by her.
“Divinity exists fairly in every living being. No one is nobler than anyone else. We distinguish each other’s status based on who is closer to our Lord and who can accept God’s teachings more.
"It is precisely because everyone has divinity that we can accumulate more divinity by taking magic potions and accepting tests again and again, and eventually become angels serving our Lord."
Is this a sermon? Lumian felt that this was somewhat similar to what the "Magician" said about the original Creator's self-disintegration and splitting into different Beyonder characteristics. They seemed to be essentially the same.
This made him suspect that the "true creator" believed in by the "Aurora Society" was trying to match the original one.
After nearly a quarter of an hour, Mr. K finally finished his sermon and drew a cross on his chest in the order of top, bottom, left, and right: "Praise you, praise ...
You created everything, praise you for bearing the sins of the world. "
Lumian followed suit and made the same sound of praise.
Mr. K then introduced the situation of the Aurora Society: "We now have a total of seven saints and twenty-two messengers with letter codes, distributed in different places..."
There are 21 people as strong as Mr. K? Saints are Sequence 4 and Sequence 3 demigods with divinity. There are seven Aurora Society members? Lumian was stunned.
The members of the Aurora Society were much more powerful than he had imagined.
As for whether there are any big figures at the angel level, Mr. K did not mention it, so Lumian had no way of guessing.
After a brief introduction, Mr. K grasped his right index finger with his left palm, ripped it off, and threw it bloody to Lumian: "Use it at a critical moment."
Lumian caught the finger with coagulated blood, and felt phantom pain just like last time. Although he was not afraid of pain or injury in battle, and could kill himself without blinking an eye when needed, he would never pull out a finger like Mr. K did.
In just a few breaths, Mr. K grew new fingers that were white in color and very tender in skin.
Since the party was not to end until nine o'clock in the evening, after receiving 10,000 Felkins, Lumian found the "Old Issue Library" of "Psychic" magazine, which was open to the public free of charge, in the luxurious off-white six-story building at 19 Sher Street, and stayed there until six o'clock.
Then, he slowly found a restaurant nearby and ordered a cheap set meal for 2 Filkins.
This includes a regular bottle of wine, a soup, three sides, a dessert and unlimited bread.
The three dishes were chosen from the menu provided. Lumian ordered a beef stew, a braised rabbit and a roasted cauliflower.
When the party started, he, who already had scorpion venom, sold the unused water monster blood, water monster poisonous scales and other things in exchange for 100 Fel gold.
At this point, he had 14,710 Felgin and 24 Kopeks in cash, most of which was given by Mr. K.
This gave him confidence that he could raise 30,000 Felkins in a short period of time.
Borrow a little here, embezzle a little there, and add in the proceeds from the spoils, and you’ll have it, right
It was almost 11 o'clock in the evening when Lumian returned to the Honest Market area.
Ruhl and Michel, a couple who live on the third floor and sell photos of "street academic beauties" near the Suchit steam train station, are dragging bulging linen bags up the stairs.
Glancing at their gray-haired faces, Lumian asked with a hint of confusion, "So late?"
He knew that Rule and the Michels were also working as part-time scavengers, having met them several times before, but he remembered that they would finish this job at nine o'clock at the latest.
Ruhl, who was dressed in tattered clothes and had a slightly hunched back, smiled and said with a hint of joy, "Tonight, the congressman's office held a celebration party and threw out a lot of valuable garbage. We waited until the bags were full before returning."
The office of the Market District Congressman was celebrating the election of Hugues Artois? Lumienne nodded slightly, walked past the old couple, and returned to room 207.
Before he lit the calcium carbide lamp, he saw a piece of white paper folded into a square lying quietly on the table with the help of the crimson moonlight seeping in from the window.
Observing the neatly folded state of the paper, Lumian suspected that this was a letter from the "Magician".
"Arsonist" potion formula? Before I came back, she had the messenger put the "Arsonist" potion formula here? Is she so sure that I can become a formal member of the "Aurora Society"? Or, is there something else to inform me? As his thoughts raced, Lumian lit the calcium carbide lamp, picked up the white paper, and carefully opened it: "Your next task is to complete the task given by Mr. K. Do you understand what I mean?" "Arsonist" potion formula: "Main ingredients: glands of fire salamanders, core of magma elves." Auxiliary materials: 50 ml of fire salamander blood, 10 grams of magma pyroxene powder, 10 grams of red crown impatiens powder, 10 drops of holy star lily pure water.
"How to use: What do you think?"
The name of the main material is actually written... This is because the main material is needed
A companion ingredient to mix potions
Did the "Magician" also want to find out the current situation of the "Iron Cross"? How did she know that Mr. K would arrange for me to do this today? Or, did she not care what Mr. K asked me to do, but just hoped that I could further gain Mr. K's trust and gradually become a core member of the "Aurora Society"? Lumian tended to guess the former, but did not rule out the latter possibility.
The only choice he had now was to do it.
After two mystic gatherings, Lumian had a certain understanding of the value of potion formulas. He knew that the "Arsonist" potion formula in his hand was worth at least 30,000 Felgin.
If he could sell it, he could exchange it for the "Arsonist" extraordinary characteristic.
Of course, this was just a fleeting impulse on Lumian's mind. He wouldn't dare to do this without the "Magician" lady's clear statement.
Isn't this equivalent to taking the potion formula given by Ms. Magician and adding a little more money to exchange for Ms. Magician's "Arsonist" extraordinary characteristic
In comparison, Lumian felt that a certain transaction plan popular in Intis, which was known as a "business paradise" and a "financial empire", was more feasible: a down payment of 10,000 Felgin, and the remaining 20,000 to be paid in installments within a year, including an interest of 10 to 15 percent.
After thinking it over for a while, Lumian gave up the idea, thinking that the "Magician" lady might be divine.
He had already raised nearly half of the cash, so there was no need to risk blasphemy against the demigod by discussing installments.
Even if the "Harvest Festival" doesn't sell for a good price, and Franka is extravagant and doesn't have much savings, there is still a large sum of cash in the financial safe of the Breeze Ballroom. As the protector of the ballroom, what's wrong with embezzling some of it
