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 avoid shipwrecks and extreme weather and pray for corresponding protection. As a result, some compromises or special situations have emerged:
Some churches have set up subordinate gods, angels, or saints with powers over storms and the ocean for believers with corresponding needs to pray to, such as the "Sea God" of the "Fool" Church;
Some churches allow some believers to have a superficial faith in the "Lord of Storms";
Some churches turn a blind eye to the native folk beliefs of ports and islands and allow them to hold specific ceremonies, but do not send clergy to preside over them.
The Sea Prayer Ceremony at Santa Port in the Feynaport Kingdom belongs to the last category. The corresponding folk custom is said to date back to the Fourth Epoch. It is held once a year, and its scale is controlled by the Church of the "Mother Earth Goddess". It is not large, radiating only to this one port, and is not publicized to the outside world.

In other words, unless you are a local of Santa Port, or a businessman, adventurer, or pirate who frequently travels along the coast of the Misty Sea, almost no one knows about this sea-praying ceremony.
After Lumian got the relevant information, he preliminarily judged that one of the "bard" and "Ultraman" who played a prank at the sea prayer ceremony was either a local of Santa Port or someone active on the sea.
Considering that the Bard's Secret Records of Emperor Roselle was specifically given to Trier's underground booksellers for publication, Lumian was more inclined to believe that Ultraman was the first one to propose disrupting the sea prayer ceremony in Santa Port.
-Although "The Secret Records of Emperor Roselle" sounds more suitable for sale in Intis, if the "bard" lives in the Kingdom of Feynet for a long time, then considering its own safety and confidentiality, it is a better choice to publish it in the Kingdom of Feynet first under the name of the Kingdom of Feynet, and then sell it to Intis through illegal channels. Otherwise, it will be easy to be targeted by the secret police of Intis.
There are countless extraordinary people who despised ordinary police and investigators, were noticed by them, and were arrested by official extraordinary people who heard the news.
Hearing that Batner and his female companion wanted to see the sea prayer ceremony in Santa Port, Lumian smiled and waved his hand: "Me too!"
He withdrew from the window, and waited until almost noon before he wrote a letter describing his experiences of the past two days and the disposal of Boorman's "legacy".
After folding the letter and wrapping it up with the fake treasure map, Lumian summoned Xia Zuotu again.
This rabbit-like spirit creature still wore the same gold-rimmed glasses, and even had a small, fuzzy half-high silk hat.
Lumian stared in silence for a few seconds, then handed over the things that needed to be sent to Franka and Janna.
"Thank you," he said politely.
It's polite!
"You're welcome." Xia Zuotu took off his half-high silk hat and bowed slightly.
The corner of Lumian's mouth twitched slightly as he watched the mutated "Rabbit of Knowledge" disappear into the room.
He was really worried that this rabbit would pull out a gun and attack the sender one day if he had a disagreement with the letter.

Next time I have to warn Janna not to feed Xia Zuotu such dangerous knowledge!
... ... ... .
Trier, Monumental quarter, Orosei Street 9, apartment 702.
Franka looked at Xia Zuotu wearing a half-top hat and gold-rimmed glasses, and couldn't help but lean over to Jenna's ear and whispered: "Is it too dangerous to let it read the Great Adventurer series of novels?"
"Don't you think this is cute
"Besides, the messenger will also encounter danger. If you keep an eye on Gehrman Sparrow, he might become stronger."
Franka just mentioned it casually, and then threw it aside, unfolded the fake treasure map and letter paper, and read it carefully:
"Wow, Lumian is really efficient. He said he wanted to punish Bulman for his crime, but he completed the hunt in no more than twelve hours!"
"The Beyonder characteristics did not form a mixed seal, but were separated and combined separately... Because Boorman no longer had the madness and paranoia before his death, and his emotions became calm?"
"Hehe, next time you encounter a similar case, there's no need to notify '007' so quickly. Wait a day, maybe Lumian will solve it himself, and everything will be back to normal, and the world will be at peace. In that case, '007' won't be able to blame me for always causing him trouble."
She has told Jenna that her official collaborator's code name is "007".
"So fast? The 'Devil Wizard' is not weak..." Janna couldn't believe it.
That was a criminal with a bounty of 600,000 Felgins, which was more than all the Felgins she had seen so far combined!
And Lumian's bounty is less than 100,000.
Franca curled her lips and said, "Think about what he went through in Trier, think about what he has and his abilities, he's simply a supermodel, okay?"

"If he releases it, it can be said to be a dimensionality reduction attack on Beyonders who don't have any special features. It won't be much worse than most Sequence 5s!"
Jenna recalled the dangerous times she and Lumian had experienced together, and nodded slowly: "What is dimensionality reduction?"
Franka was stunned for a moment, and after a few seconds she said, "It's like an adult bullying a child, or a demigod bullying a mid- or low-sequence Beyonder."
"Besides, think about it, a half-crazy Beyonder like the Devil Wizard has serious problems mentally, psychologically, emotionally, and physically. He is completely restrained by Lumian's Movement of Hate. To fight him, we only need to beware of his strange abilities and not stimulate him into a monster. Lumian has experience and will definitely not be careless."
"Hearing what you said, I feel that killing the 'devil wizard' is not that difficult." Janna muttered softly:
"That's not the way to say it. All I can say is that the forced transformation path will indeed make you very powerful and dangerous, but it also has great disadvantages and many problems, and it is easy to be targeted." Franka corrected Janna's incorrect view while reading Lumian's letter.
After watching it, she said excitedly: "It's so much fun on the sea, and the scenery is so beautiful. If I wasn't stuck with a mission, I would also like to go to the sea as an adventurer and hunt pirates!"
Janna, who was leaning on the sofa and looking at the letter from behind, was also a little eager to do something.
Who doesn’t love traveling? It’s just that we didn’t have the conditions before.
After calming down, Franka said, "Lumian is so generous. He actually donated all the bounties and spoils to set up a charity fund."
"Actually, I can understand his thoughts..."
Until now, she is still secretly supporting the relatives of the original owner of this body.
As they were talking, Franka and Janna each performed "magic mirror divination".
The answers they got were consistent: the map was real!
"Both Boorman and the undead islander Harrison admit that part of this map is fake and cannot help adventurers reach Easter Island. They may even encounter great danger along the way... What's fake about it?" Franka cast her eyes on the treasure map and fell into deep thought.

On the map, the place marked as Easter Island is located deep in the Misty Sea. Arouca, the westernmost colonial island of the Intis Republic, is still a long way away from it.
“Can’t you tell the fake part?” Lumian shook his head after receiving the reply and continued reading the information about the spiritual creatures in his hand.
He was looking to see if there was any introduction to the evil spirit "Arden" that Boorman had summoned from the depths of death.
Lumian spent the evening browsing through the materials. After filling his stomach in the room, he took the golden straw hat that he had recently liked, went down to the deck, and entered the bar.
At this time, the "Flying Bird" had already left the port of Farin. As expected, Butner and his female companion were sitting at the bar, chatting enthusiastically with the passengers around them about the death of the "devil wizard" Boorman.
"We don't know which adventurer did it. If it wasn't officially announced, we wouldn't know that Bulman was killed. No one in the entire Farin Port adventurer circle knew the news in advance!" Bartner said happily while holding Lelangzi. "Farin Port actually has such a powerful adventurer hidden! As expected, we can't be arrogant or conceited. Maybe the homeless guy sitting on the side of the road is a powerful figure!"
At this point, he saw Lumian pushing his way over and whistled, "You're staying in first class? You're so rich?"
"Not that I'm rich." Lumian smiled and sat on the stool. "I just think that when you're at sea, you could run into an accident at any time, or be killed by pirates at any time, so why not try to be nicer to yourself? If you're dead, what's the point of saving a lot of money? Since you're an adventurer, you have to live every day recklessly, because you don't know if there will be a tomorrow."
"Since you are an adventurer, you should live every day recklessly, because you don't know if there will be a tomorrow..."
The female adventurer next to Turner repeated Lumian's last words in a low voice, seeming to be touched.
Batner drank a sip of Lilangqi, laughed and said: "But the prerequisite is that you have to have some savings, otherwise if you are too wanton today, you will be hungry tomorrow."
"Oh, 600,000 Felkin. I don't know which adventurer got the 600,000 Felkin that belonged to Boorman, and the items he had on him..."
Butner showed an expression of longing and envy.
Lumian picked up the absinthe he had just ordered and took a sip.
Amidst the fragrance, a hint of bitterness lingers.

Over the next few days, the Flying Bird sailed peacefully towards the Kingdom of Feynapotter.
Philip, the security director, actually felt it was unreal.
Is the bad luck over
Big trouble getting off the ship
Did the death of the "devil wizard" Boorman result from the arrival of big trouble into Farin Harbor
Seeing that Santa Port would be reached in one day, Philip saw his men bringing a telegram.
"Boss, it was sent by your comrade in Farin Port." The subordinate handed the folded telegram to Philip.
Is there anything you need to inform me about in Farin Port? The big trouble is causing trouble in Farin Port, and has the "Bird" been tracked down
Philip unfolded the telegram suspiciously and scanned the contents: "The adventurer who hunted down the 'devil wizard' Boorman is suspected to be on your ship.
"His name is Louis Berry."
