Chapter 523: Guidance of Fate?

Looking at Lu Mian again, Bartner's eyes were already different:

This guy's imitation of Gehrman Sparrow and the recklessness and ignorance he showed seemed to be fake. In essence, he is a cunning and insidious person!

Whoever believes his performance will suffer a big loss because of it!

Lu Mian didn't continue the topic of making a small fortune from the scammers. Together with Bartner, he seriously checked the explosion site, not missing every detail.

It is a pity that various official Beyonders with more reasonable sequence combinations couldn't find clues, let alone the two who couldn't divine or predict.

Bartner touched the exquisite rapier hanging on his waist and sighed:

"I know there won't be any harvest, but I still can't help coming over to waste time. This is not a question of whether there is a bounty, which adventurer doesn't want to become famous overnight?"

It is not necessary to hunt the "Devil Wizard" to become famous. Assisting official Beyonders in finding this wanted criminal whose bounty is close to a pirate general is also something that can be boasted about.

"Didn't you just say that coming here to investigate was mainly to get some clues to exchange for money?" Lu Mian asked back with a smile.

"This, this is another purpose, an incidental purpose." Bartner argued forcefully.

After finishing speaking, he suddenly realized:

He hadn't said that coming here to investigate was mainly to get some clues to exchange for money, he had only thought about it in his heart!

Can he read my thoughts, or is he purely scamming me? Bartner looked at Lu Mian with suspicion.

Lu Mian smiled:

"Don't write your thoughts on your face. If you encounter a 'Spectator', you won't have any secrets."

Bartner raised his right hand and touched his face:

Is my expression management that bad?

He muttered somewhat frustratedly:

"The scene has been destroyed like this, and the surrounding streets haven't left any traces. Unless you are favored by the gods and have good enough luck, there is no possibility of finding clues... Go for a drink?"

Luck... Finding clues doesn't necessarily depend on good luck, bad luck is also fine... Lu Mian's heart moved, he took out the bandage for binding wounds from his clothes pocket, and unhurriedly wrapped them around his eyes.

"What are you doing?" Bartner Kong Tai looked blank.

"Blindfolded, walking in the nearby streets purely by instinct, this can exclude all external influences and bring the luck factor into full play." Lu Mian said here, laughed, "Maybe I am really favored by luck today?"

According to Franca, this walking occult disaster detector of his doesn't need clues or intelligence. Just strolling on the road, he might run into the person involved directly.

Since that's the case, he would listen to the "guidance of fate" once.

If it succeeds, he can exchange the "Devil Wizard" or related clues for a generous bounty. If it fails, he can powerfully prove that Franca's words were slandering!

"Can you still do this?" Bartner had a feeling that Louis Berry's brain might not be normal.

"Trying it won't lose anything." Lu Mian, with his eyes covered by bandages, began to walk toward the other side of the street.

After a few steps, he suddenly stopped.

He found that blindfolding had no effect on a "Hunter".

The road he came from and the scenes he saw while searching for clues were clearly left in his mind, and arranged neatly according to the specific location of reality.

In other words, there was a high-definition map of the surrounding streets in his brain, precise to the point of which shop and which building he would arrive at after walking a few steps.

Combined with the "Hunter's" strong control over the body and direction in the case of not being able to see, as well as keen smell, hearing, and other assistance, Lu Mian's idea of walking by instinct to follow the guidance of fate couldn't become reality.

Thinking for a moment, he began to think aimlessly, walking in this state:

"'Devil Wizard' Bulman can escape every time, which means he possesses special abilities or items...

"Can he 'teleport' directly like me, or can he change his appearance and height at will like me, or even disguise as another gender?

"Regardless of which one, he has done so many bloody and cruel experiments in these years and hasn't been caught, which is enough to show that relying on conventional methods and normal thinking can't catch him...

"Can we change the thinking and let him take the initiative to walk out?

"Hmm, can't find him, can let him come to find us...

"He cares most about resurrecting his wife Helen. If I can forge several resurrection cases or discuss resurrection in some occult gatherings, and give some occult knowledge in related fields that can be verified, this 'Devil Wizard' will very likely follow the clues I left behind and come to find me...

"This plan has two problems. One is that official Beyonders have likely made similar attempts, and Bulman is cautious and careful enough not to be fooled. The second is that it needs several weeks or even months to arrange and wait. I don't have so much time to stay in Falingang... I can only say that when communicating in occult gatherings in different places or bragging in bars, I can occasionally reveal some 'secrets'. If it succeeds, it's natural. If it doesn't, it doesn't matter. This is real enough, and the purpose is not so clear..."

Lu Mian was thinking attentively, relying on Bartner Kong Tai's occasional support and reminders, so he didn't trip or bump into anything. After he had a complete plan that needed a long time to consume, he stopped, and while taking off the white bandage covering his eyes, he said to Bartner with a smile:

"Where is this? My intuition tells me that there might be clues to the 'Devil Wizard' hidden here."

"Very normal street, very normal house, the people living there look rich and have status." Bartner answered helplessly.

Lu Mian finally saw the sunlight near dusk again.

He first adapted to the brightness, then his eyes condensed, and there were waves rolling in his heart.

He hadn't been to many streets in Falingang, and he could count the houses he had entered with one hand. This time, relying on the instinct of fate's guidance, he actually arrived at a familiar place:

16 Keleiyasi Street!

The building with gray body and brown roof and many sculptures on the outer wall next to it belonged to the big merchant Fideer Gela. Lu Mian had just booked the venom of the Colorful-Bearded Horned Lizard here last night and accepted the commission to hunt the "Black Baron" Klass Kitz!

"Termiboros, are you playing tricks?" Lu Mian's first reaction was to question the Fate Angel sealed in his body.

Termiboros didn't respond, but Bartner next to him was stunned, not understanding who Louis Berry was talking to.

If it wasn't Termiboros intentionally guiding me here, it meant that there was something in Fideer Gela's house that was aggregating with me in fate... A "Hunter" pathway item, or related to an evil god? Or, are the clues to the "Devil Wizard" Bulman really in Fideer's house? Lu Mian's thoughts turned, and he quickly had a series of guesses.

He looked at Fideer's building and evaluated the possibility of the "Devil Wizard" being here:

"Bulman did so many resurrection experiments. Relying purely on himself is very difficult to complete the preparation. He can't rely on looting for all resources, right? Official Beyonders and pirates all want to catch him. Only those evil wizards can provide him with a little help.

"And if there is a big merchant like Fideer who has many channels to secretly support him, then he doesn't have to worry about how to get 'experimental materials'...

"For Fideer, if his own sequence is not high enough, having such a 'Devil Wizard' who can only rely on him to provide secret protection is definitely a good thing.

"His business is not very visible and is of high value. He could be targeted by any big pirate or powerful adventurer at any time. How can he not prepare more means to protect himself?

"If he really offends the official one day, the 'Devil Wizard' can also protect him and escape, change his identity to go to another city or another country to start life again. Hmm, according to Aurora, such people should have fake identities in many places, reserving a portion of assets...

"Last night, not long after I saw Fideer, the accident of the 'Devil Wizard' experiment failure happened..."

Lu Mian withdrew his gaze, the more he thought, the more he felt that this merchant Fideer Gela had the motive to shelter the "Devil Wizard" Bulman.

Of course, if it was Termiboros deliberately guiding himself here, it meant that the problem would be more complicated and serious.

"What are you looking at?" Bartner looked toward 16 Keleiyasi Street following Lu Mian's gaze.

"I met the big merchant Fideer Gela here last night and took a commission from him." Lu Mian answered frankly.

"What commission?" Bartner was a little curious.

Lu Mian answered with a smile:

"Hunting the captain of the 'Golden Nimbus', 'Black Baron' Klass Kitz."

"'Black Baron' Klass robbed a batch of Fideer's goods, the rumor is true... Fideer found quite a few adventurers to deal with the 'Black Baron'..." Bartner first realized, then lowered his voice, "Don't talk about this kind of thing everywhere."

"Why?" Lu Mian asked with a laugh.

Bartner touched his neatly trimmed stubble and said in a low voice:

"These bounties and commissions don't need to be taken to be done, nor do they have to be successful...

"Hmm, if many pirates hear that which adventurer wants to hunt themselves, and the two sides are not far away, they will directly retaliate and kill the other party. This is both punishment and deterrence.

"'Black Baron' is a famous pirate. If he hears that such a new adventurer who just arrived at the sea not only dares to take the task of hunting him but also promotes it everywhere, do you think he will be angry, will he think of a way to find you, and use your death to warn other adventurers and Fideer?"

"Black Baron" is indeed in Falingang... Lu Mian nodded thoughtfully:

"Good idea."

Good idea? Bartner was stunned for a moment.

At night, in a bar.

Lu Mian and Bartner and others drank for nearly two hours, all very happy and excited.

Suddenly, Lu Mian picked up his wine glass, walked from the high stool to the ground, and said to the adventurers and ordinary people around:

"Everyone, remember my name, Louis Berry!

"I'm about to become famous. I took a commission, from the big merchant Fideer, the target is to hunt 'Black Baron' Klass Kitz!

"When I succeed, the name Louis Berry will spread across the Five Seas!

"By then, you will be proud of having had a drink with me!"

Ah... Bartner was stunned on the high stool.

He seemed to see the Louis Berry who jumped onto the wooden platform and fired a shot last night again.
