Chapter 523: Guidance of Fate?

Looking at Lumian again, Batner's eyes were already different:

This guy's imitation of Gehrman Sparrow and the reckless ignorance he showed seemed to be fake. Essentially, he was a cunning and sinister person!

Whoever believed his performance would suffer a big loss because of it!

Lumian didn't continue the topic of making a small fortune from scammers. Together with Batner, he seriously checked the explosion site, not letting go of every detail.

It was a pity that official Beyonders with more reasonable sequence combinations couldn't find clues, let alone the two who could neither divine nor understand prophecy.

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

"I knew there wouldn't be any harvest, but I still couldn't help but come 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's not that you must hunt the "Devil Wizard" Bulman to become famous. Assisting official Beyonders in finding this wanted criminal whose bounty is close to a pirate general is also something you can show off.

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

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

After finishing speaking, he suddenly woke up:

I didn't say that coming here to investigate was mainly to get some clues to exchange for money, I only thought about it in my heart!

Can he read my thoughts, or is he purely bluffing me? Batner looked at Lumian with suspicion.

Lumian smiled:

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

Batner raised his right hand and touched his face:

Is my expression management that bad?

He muttered somewhat frustratedly:

"The scene was destroyed like this, and the surrounding streets didn't leave 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 require good luck, bad luck is also fine... Lumian's heart moved. He took out the bandage that bound his wound from his clothes pocket and wrapped them around his eyes unhurriedly.

"What are you doing?" Batner Kong Tai was blank.

"Blindfolded, relying purely on instinct to walk in the nearby streets, this can exclude all external influences and bring the luck factor into full play." Lumian said here and chuckled, "Maybe I was really favored by luck today?"

According to Franca, he, this walking occult disaster detector, doesn't need clues, doesn't need intelligence, and can bump into the person involved directly just by strolling on the road.

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

If he succeeded, he could exchange the "Devil Wizard" or related clues for a generous bounty. If he failed, he could powerfully prove that Franca's words were slandering him!

"Can you still do this?" Batner inexplicably felt that Louis Berry's brain might not be very normal.

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

After a few steps, he suddenly stopped.

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

The road he came from and the scenes he saw while searching for clues just now were clearly left in his mind, and they were neatly arranged according to their specific locations in reality.

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

Combined with the "Hunter's" strong control over his body and direction when he couldn't see, as well as his keen sense of smell, hearing, and other auxiliary senses, Lumian'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 while walking in this state:

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

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

"Regardless of which one it is, 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 I change the thinking and let him take the initiative to come out?

"Hmm, if I can't find him, I can let him find us...

"He cares most about resurrecting his wife Helen. If I can forge a few 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 find me...

"This plan has two problems. One is that official Beyonders have very likely made similar attempts, and Bulman is cautious and careful enough not to be fooled. The other is that it needs a few weeks or even months to arrange and wait. Where do I have so much time to stay in Faling Port... I can only say that when communicating in different occult gatherings 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..."

Lumian was thinking attentively, relying on Batner Kong Tai's occasional support and reminders, so he didn't trip or bump into anything. After he had a complete plan that required a lot of time, he stopped. While taking off the white bandage covering his eyes, he said to Batner 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." Batner answered helplessly.

Lumian finally saw the sunlight near dusk.

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

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

16 Coreas Street!

The gray-bodied, brown-roofed building next to it with many sculptures on the outer wall belonged to the big merchant Fidel Gra. Lumian had just booked Colorful-Bearded Horned Lizard venom here last night and accepted the commission to hunt the "Black Viscount" Klass Kiz!

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

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

If it wasn't Termiboros deliberately guiding me here, then it meant that there was something in Fidel Gra's house that was having a fate aggregation with me... A "Hunter" path item, or related to an evil god? Or, are the clues to the "Devil Wizard" Bulman really in Fidel's house? Lumian's thoughts turned, and he quickly had a series of speculations.

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

"Bulman did so many resurrection experiments, it's very difficult to complete the preparation purely by himself. He can't rely on looting for everything, 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 with many channels like Fidel secretly supporting him, then he doesn't have to worry about how to get 'experimental materials'..."

"For Fidel, 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 it is very valuable. He might be targeted by some 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, and go to another city or another country to restart his life. Hmm, according to Aurora, such people should have fake identities in many places, reserving a part of assets..."

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

Lumian withdrew his gaze, thinking more and more that this merchant Fidel Gra had the motivation to protect the "Devil Wizard" Bulman.

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

"What are you looking at?" Batner followed Lumian's gaze and looked at 16 Coreas Street.

"I met the big merchant Fidel Gra here last night and took a commission from him." Lumian answered frankly.

"What commission?" Batner was a little curious.

Lumian answered with a smile:

"Hunting the captain of the 'Kinniposs,' 'Black Viscount' Klass Kiz."

"'Black Viscount' Klass robbed a batch of Fidel's goods, is the rumor true? Fidel has found quite a few adventurers to deal with 'Black Viscount'..." Batner was enlightened first, then lowered his voice, "Don't go around saying this kind of thing."

"Why?" Lumian asked with amusement.

Batner touched his neatly trimmed stubble and whispered:

"These bounties and commissions don't have to be taken to be done, and they don't have to be successful..."

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

"'Black Viscount' is a famous pirate. If he hears that you, such a new adventurer who just arrived at the sea, not only dares to take the mission to hunt him but also goes around proclaiming it, do you think he will be angry, will he find a way to find you and warn other adventurers and Fidel with your death?"

"Black Viscount" is indeed in Faling Port... Lumian nodded thoughtfully:

"Good idea."

Good idea? Batner was blank for a while.

At night, in a bar.

Lumian and Batner and others drank for nearly two hours, all very happy and excited.

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

"Everyone, remember my name, Louis Berry!"

"I'm about to become famous. I took a commission from the big merchant Fidel, and the target is to hunt the 'Black Viscount' Klass Kiz!"

"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... Batner 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.
