Chapter 522: Devil Wizard

~10 min read 1,841 words

Trier, Memorial Hall District, 9 Orosay Street, Apartment 702.

Franca slept until she woke up naturally, got up lazily, intending to just gnaw on a piece of toast and wait for a big meal at noon.

There had been no clues about the "Mirror Person" recently, and she was living very leisurely.

Thank heaven, thank earth, thank Mr. "Fool," that disaster star Lumian left Trier... Franca completed the pre-meal prayer in this way.

She was drinking milk when Jenna came back from outside and pointed to the coffee table:

"Xazo Rabbit sent a letter this morning, from Lumian."

"Letter?" Franca's eyes narrowed, and her relaxed body suddenly tensed.

The source of the madness in Dadel Town hadn't been caught yet, what happened this time?

"He said that the capital of the Misty Sea Islands had an incident, and he wanted to ask about the specific situation. He hoped you would ask your partner in the officialdom. You and that partner only contact late at night, so I didn't wake you up. I read the letter first. Anyway, I have to wait until night to ask." Jenna explained simply.

"How considerate. If it were that bastard Lumian, he would definitely knock on the door and wake me up!" Franca, who didn't know how many times she had been forcibly woken up by Lumian, was unusually moved.

She then laughed:

"He arrived at Faling Port, and Faling Port also had an incident?"

"Although judging from his meaning, this doesn't have much to do with him, but..."

Speaking of this, Franca made a slight backward gesture:

"What kind of walking occult disaster detector is this?"

Since it wasn't an urgent matter, she planned to ask "007" in the telegram group late at night. After all, the other party was an official Beyonder in Trier and couldn't possibly grasp what happened in the capital of the Misty Sea Islands in the first place. If he didn't take the initiative to ask, he wouldn't even know.

Based on the habit of loving instant chat, Franca put down the bottle of milk and wrote a reply to Lumian, teasing him to the extreme:

"If you want to know what happened, investigate it yourself. You, this walking occult disaster detector, don't need clues, don't need intelligence. Just stroll aimlessly on the streets of Faling Port, and you might just bump into the person involved!"

"Hey, don't turn letter communication into work communication. Just talk about what happened, what help is needed, share interesting things on the sea, report the bounty amounts of pirates, isn't that okay?"

"Hehe, since you left Trier, the wind has been calm and the waves have been still, and I can sleep in again. Go ahead and take your revenge, don't rush back. Notify us in advance when you need our help..."

Jenna watched thoughtfully as Franca wrote a letter of nearly two pages.

…………

Faling Port, inside Room 5 of the first-class cabin of the "Flying Bird."

Lumian, who couldn't go out, finished reading Franca's reply and couldn't help but sneer.

How many complaints did this guy receive from "007"? Between the lines, she was pushing the reason for the frequent occurrence of occult disasters onto me.

Folding the letter paper, Lumian brought it to Ludwig's mouth.

The little boy who had just finished his pre-meal dessert glanced at him and said:

"I'm not a paper shredder."

"I thought you ate everything." Lumian didn't care and lit the letter paper, watching it turn into ashes and melt into the sea breeze blowing in from the window.

Not long after lunch ended, Philip knocked on the door with four soldiers wearing blue uniforms with gold threads.

The officer in the lead took the copy of the identification documents of Lumian and others and compared the difference between the black and white photos and the real people.

"They are the same as you, both came from Gadi Port and only arrived yesterday evening?" The officer asked Philip, who had already been confirmed to have no problems and could be trusted.

"Yes, I watched them get on the ship, and we met frequently during these two days." Philip didn't reveal that the identification documents of Lumian and others were fake.

Very wise... Otherwise, you would see what real major trouble is... Lumian joked in his heart.

Actually, if his disguise was really exposed, his choice would be to take Lugano and Ludwig and "teleport" away directly, rather than making a big scene and announcing the shining appearance of the adventurer Louis Berry in the world.

He only admired Gehrman Sparrow and was very happy to hunt pirates if there was a chance, but he never thought about really being an adventurer.

The purpose of his going to sea was for revenge!

After confirming the situation of Lumian and the three, the officer led the soldiers toward the next room, and Philip accompanied them.

Lumian could see that their search of the "Flying Bird" was not perfunctory but not invested either. They only strictly followed the steps to go through the process, and didn't ask a single extra word.

Thinking about it, this was also normal. The explosion in the Black Pearl District last night and the subsequent dead corpse abnormality couldn't be made in a day or two. Even if it was just an accident, it belonged to an accident that had been prepared for a long time; otherwise, it wouldn't have such a large impact range, unless the person involved was a demigod. But wanting to rely on ordinary police and soldiers to find the traces of a demigod was almost impossible.

This had nothing to do with the "Flying Bird" that just arrived at Faling Port last night. Just confirm the identity of the passengers.

Of course, it didn't exclude the possibility that the demigod was hit hard by the official last night and was seriously injured, unable to escape Faling Port. In this case, large-scale investigation was also useful, and there were no suspicious wounded on the "Flying Bird" at present.

The search of the "Flying Bird" lasted for nearly two hours. After a few officers led twenty or thirty soldiers off the ship, Lumian came to the deck and asked Philip:

"What happened last night?"

Philip looked left and right and lowered his voice:

"I heard from my former colleague that they were searching for the 'Devil Wizard' Bulman."

"Bulman?" Lumian didn't hide his ignorance.

He only read a part of the wanted posters last night and understood the current Kings of the Sea, pirate generals, and more than a dozen important big pirates before going to drink with Batner Kong Tai.

"He is a wanted adventurer." Philip sighed, "When I hadn't left the Misty Sea Fleet, he was still very normal, chasing bounties and treasures. He met his wife, Helen, a female adventurer. Later, in an accident, Helen died. Bulman became crazy because of this. He wanted to resurrect his wife and did many, many things. There were good attempts and bad attempts."

"He had no mercy, was unusually cold, and led the destruction of a town of three hundred people, just to achieve the conditions of a certain resurrection ritual. He organized gatherings of evil wizards, wanting to use other people's lives, especially the lives of newborns, to invent cruel and bloody witchcraft to resurrect Helen... These things made his bounty exceed 'Bone-Breaker' Luo Lei, reaching 600,000 Felkins."

To resurrect his wife, he became a cruel and cold "Devil Wizard"? Lumian felt a little sighing.

If it wasn't for Ms. "Magician" finding him at that time, if it wasn't for Mr. "Fool" giving him a little hope, if it wasn't for the "Tarot Club" arranging two powerful "psychologists" to treat him, would he have become the same as Bulman, crowned with the prefix "Devil"?

Moreover, just walking the gift path, he would clearly become stronger faster. With the help of Termiboros, he only needed a few months to become a Sequence 5 "Hunter of Fate," while the destruction of a town of three hundred people gave him hope to be promoted to "Ring-in-the-Middle."

"600,000 Felkins, almost catching up with the 'Black Tide Admiral' Holai Sassen, who has the lowest bounty among pirate generals." Lumian made a simple comparison.

"Black Tide Admiral" was a big pirate who became famous only in recent years, with a bounty of 700,000 Felkins.

Philip was silent for a few seconds:

"Bulman is not necessarily weaker than Holai Sassen, just doesn't have his own fleet, always alone, occasionally cooperating with those evil wizards, and such he can always escape from the official encirclement and suppression, and can also successfully sneak into towns where his wanted posters are posted..."

From Philip's description, Lumian found that the "Devil Wizard" Bulman had diverse abilities and was good at disguise.

This had the style of a real "Wizard," but he was also very good at necromancy. I don't know if this was obtained by researching resurrection or if the original sequence had both "comprehensive" and "specialty" two slightly contradictory adjectives.

…………

The port blockade caused the "Flying Bird" to fail to set sail at the scheduled time and stayed in Faling.

At four in the afternoon, Lumian had nothing to do, put on the newly bought golden straw hat, left the ship that passengers and sailors could enter and exit freely, and entered Faling Port again.

He intended to go to the place where the explosion occurred last night to see if he could find any clues.

The hospital that was destroyed seemed to have collapsed by nearly half, revealing a pit leading to the underground. In the remaining buildings, some corpse pieces were scattered, and there were patches of fresh blood and shadows suspected to be human-shaped and charred.

Because the official had lifted the ban, many adventurers came here to investigate and look for clues. Lumian mixed among them and observed without attracting attention.

"Louis, you're here too?" Suddenly, Lumian heard a familiar voice.

It was Batner Kong Tai, who carried a large-caliber revolver and an exquisite rapier. He still repaired his beard and hair seriously and was dressed very exquisitely.

"Yeah." Lumian responded with a smile, "As an adventurer, how can I miss the grand event of hunting the 'Devil Wizard'?"

We mainly just want to get some clues to exchange for money... Batner muttered silently.

While looking for clues from the traces of the battle, he asked casually:

"Did you encounter those resurrected corpses last night?"

"I encountered them. Besides being relatively scary, they didn't have any powerful aspects." Lumian said in a bragging tone.

Batner glanced at him and suddenly laughed:

"Did you encounter anything after leaving the bar last night?"

Lumian answered indifferently:

"I encountered a few scammers and made a small fortune."

Made a small fortune... Batner was stunned.

He suddenly recalled Louis Berry's performance in the bar last night and a sentence he said before:

"Maybe they will feel that I am easy to bully?"
