Chapter 532: Generosity (Thanks to Zuri Yiran for again rewarding the Silver Alliance)

Lu Mian looked at the surprise and relief frozen on Bulman's head, took off the "Torture" brass knuckles and "Hate Movement," and ended the "Nisse Face."

He immediately put on the silver-white "Lie" earring, took out white bandages, and transferred and wrapped the wound on his right chest that had already been burned once, as well as his bloody left hand.

Crimson firelight rose again around him, burning his dripping blood and splashing flesh.

During this process, Lu Mian collected the body parts of Bulman scattered nearby and piled them next to that head.

He had been calculating the time. If Bulman's Beyonder characteristic didn't precipitate, he would have to take this pile of body parts and move to the forest next to the Andatna Volcano.

This was because the "Torture" brass knuckles would attract the gaze of certain hidden existences, being attacked by dangerous creatures driven by them.

In the past, as soon as Lu Mian finished using the "Torture" brass knuckles, he had to leave the scene immediately, but this battle lasted for a very short time, and the "Torture" brass knuckles were stuffed into the "Traveler's Bag," so he could wait a little longer.

Watching as light spots of pale purple, pale, and dark colors precipitated from Burman's head and the pile of corpse fragments, combining on their own, Lu Mian found various items on the surrounding ground and within the torn clothing:

There was a miniature brain stained with blood and shaped like brass, a deep black telescope that could be extended, ointment and powder in small metal bottles, a very short white bone scepter, a strange badge with white bones surrounding the sun, a soft-shell notebook in an iron box, a golden ring that looked ordinary, and various gold and silver coins scattered all over the ground...

As for deposit certificates and cash banknotes, they should have been destroyed by the explosion and the sea of fire.

Lu Mian collected them one by one, feeling that there should be three items among them that possessed Beyonder abilities; he just came into contact with them and had different adverse reactions.

Fortunately, from the beginning, I didn't think about fighting Bulman for a long time... If he had time to pull his hand out and use these magical items, it would be quite troublesome... To deal with such a half-mad enemy with resources, one must make a quick decision and not give him a chance to recover... Some of these things should have been collected by himself, and most likely some were robbed from Fidel... Lu Mian finally picked up the iron box that already had dents and cracks.

Inside the soft-shell notebook was a treasure map stained with dots of blood. Lu Mian just took a simple look and thought it was a sea chart leading to a certain island in a certain sea area, with records of weather change patterns and markings of two safe shipping routes on it.

Is this the fake treasure map that Mark Benito sold to Bulman? Lu Mian flipped the dark soft-shell notebook to the first page and saw it written in scribbled handwriting:

"My mental state is sometimes good and sometimes bad, and I often forget many things. I have to write down the relevant knowledge and cannot forget it."

Lu Mian didn't look at it in detail and put away the fake treasure map and the soft-shell notebook.

He scanned the pile of body parts again and found that Bulman's left ring finger was wearing an ordinary-looking golden ring.

This was very similar to the gold ring among the spoils just now, one larger, one smaller, one rougher, one very delicate.

Lu Mian instantly understood what was going on.

He took off that gold ring from Bulman's left ring finger, tied it together with the other gold ring using a piece of iron wire he carried with him.

Lu Mian walked a few steps toward the gray-black crater and silently threw the pair of rings into the reddish depression.

At this time, Bulman's Beyonder characteristic had all precipitated, combined with certain parts of his body, and turned into two items:

One was a transparent left eye of pale purple, and one was a right eye of deep black with pale embellishments.

Lu Mian collected these two Beyonder characteristics, picked up Bulman's head, and suddenly disappeared from where he was.

Silently, the remaining body parts of Bulman all burned up, and crimson firelight rose in the area around the gray-black vast crater.

Lu Mian's figure outlined itself more than two hundred meters away, bending down to pick up the golden straw hat that had been blown to that side by the strong wind.

While pressing the straw hat to his head, he disappeared quickly.

This time, the place where he appeared was on the road outside the Andatna Volcano steam train station.

Lu Mian raised his head and looked at the gray-black crater, only to see the golden-red intertwined sunset, like magma, receding faster than expected.

The top of the mountain quickly turned black.

…………

Faling Port, inside the "Fool" church not too far from the Black Pearl District.

Lu Mian pressed his golden straw hat, walked to the half-giant bishop wearing a half-high silk top hat and a black windbreaker, and said in a low voice:

"I want to confess."

The half-giant bishop, who was over two meters five tall, looked down at Lu Mian with light blue eyes for a few seconds and nodded:

"Follow me."

He led Lu Mian into a special confessional, which had no windows and was in complete darkness.

"I don't want to confess in the dark." Lu Mian took off his golden straw hat and said calmly.

The half-giant bishop lit the candles here and closed the door.

Pop, Lu Mian threw a head with miserable white fluff and lost eyes to the feet of the half-giant bishop.

"You committed the crime of murder?" The half-giant bishop took a simple look and asked in a mellow voice.

"No, I just want to help him confess." Lu Mian pointed to the bloody head flowing with yellow pus, "He is the 'Devil Wizard' Bulman."

"Bulman?" The half-giant bishop then carefully examined the head and discovered several obvious characteristics.

He was silent for a few seconds and said:

"Do you want to ask the church to help you collect the bounty from the Intis government?"

"I said, I came to help him confess, his bounty is part of the confession." Lu Mian's voice was no different from just now.

The half-giant bishop couldn't understand for a moment.

Lu Mian took out most of the items obtained from Bulman from the "Traveler's Bag," leaving only the dark soft-shell notebook and the fake treasure map.

Splash, these things, whether possessing Beyonder power or of high value, were all scattered on the ground.

"They are also part of Bulman's confession." Lu Mian introduced simply, "I want to use the bounty plus the money exchanged for these items to establish a charity fund to compensate those who have been hurt by Bulman or their relatives. If there is any surplus, then, then help the homeless children."

The half-giant bishop wearing a top hat and windbreaker was silent for a few more seconds:

"The bounty for the 'Devil Wizard' is 600,000 Felkins, and these things also have high value. In total, it might be close to 1 million Felkins. For anyone, this is a huge amount of wealth that cannot be ignored, enough for you to never have to adventure again.

"Are you sure you want to donate it to us to establish a charity fund?"

Lu Mian didn't answer the half-giant bishop's question directly, but repeated the words just now:

"This is Bulman's confession."

"Alright, since you trust our church, we will do as you wish." That half-giant bishop said, "My name is Tais, remember my name, and come to supervise the progress of the charity fund at any time."

Lu Mian looked toward the Fool's holy emblem in the confessional, pressed his hand to his chest, bowed slightly and said:

"Praise the Fool!"

He then closed his eyes and began to pray:

"Great Lord, please punish the sins committed by the world and watch our compensation behavior.

"This is not atonement, this is self-punishment..."

Lu Mian confessed earnestly for a while, then straightened his body, opened his eyes, and turned to walk toward the door.

"What is the name of that charity fund?" The half-giant bishop asked hurriedly.

Lu Mian exhaled and said:

"Helen, Helen Charity Fund."

"Do you need to tell the authorities who killed Bulman?" The half-giant bishop asked carefully.

"No need, but don't deliberately help me cover up the clues." Lu Mian didn't look back, put on his golden straw hat, walked out of the confessional, and left the Fool's church.

…………

At night, Lu Mian came again to the bar named "Pelican" next to the Sun Plaza.

Bartner Conte, as usual, sat at the bar, drinking "Jinsom" sugar liquor, with a cute-looking girl dressed as an adventurer beside him.

Lu Mian walked over, sat between Bartner and the other drinkers, and snapped his fingers at the bartender with a smile:

"A glass of 'Jinsom'."

Bartner turned his head to look at him and said:

"You're in a good mood."

"Yes." Lu Mian took the golden sugar liquor from the bartender, tapped the table with the bottom of the glass, and then, he stood up, raised the glass and said, "Everyone, I encountered two things worth being happy about today."

He said in an enthusiastic tone full of joy:

"The first is that I completed a commission worth over 100,000 Felkins!"

"Impossible..." Bartner and the female adventurer beside him said in unison.

This was higher than the bounty of the "Black Earl," how could it be completed in one day?

Moreover, Bartner knew very well that Louis Berry's employer, Fidel, had already died, so where did he take a new commission?

Lu Mian still used an enthusiastic tone:

"To celebrate this, I'll treat everyone at the bar to a glass of 'Jinsom'!"

Nearly ten adventurers and drinkers made sounds of admiration, one of whom shouted:

"Regardless of what the facts are, I believe you!"

Others echoed one after another.

Lu Mian then showed a more obvious smile:

"The second thing worth being happy about is that I made up a lie and tricked a group of fools!"

Suddenly, the expressions of everyone at the bar froze.

Lu Mian glanced at them and continued:

"But the treat is real!"

Those adventurers and drinkers booed and said that if they could have a free drink, it didn't matter if they were fools.

Thus, Lu Mian really spent 96 Ricks, which was 4.8 Felkins, to treat the twelve people at the bar to a glass of "Jinsom" each.

Looking at Louis Berry like this, Bartner muttered silently:

"He's really happy..."

…………

Late at night, "Flying Bird," Room 5 of the first-class cabin.

Lu Mian returned to the master bedroom that was barely habitable again, lit the kerosene lamp, and took the dark soft-shell notebook and fake treasure map obtained from the "Devil Wizard" Bulman out of the "Traveler's Bag."

PS: Thanks to Zuri Yiran for again rewarding the Silver Alliance, and it matches the title quite well.
