Chapter 548
Listening to the "Sea Viceroy's" orders is better than awe of the church... The "Earth Mother" Church doesn't care much either... Lumian didn't ask further and nodded slightly:
"I can take this commission, and I don't need any reward, but I have one requirement."
"What requirement?" Rubio asked cautiously.
Lumian showed a smile:
"I came here to see the Prayer to the Sea Ceremony, but I heard that the two core links can only be participated in and watched by very few people. I want to have such an opportunity."
Rubio fell silent and didn't answer for a long time.
Georgia, seeing this, couldn't suppress her curiosity and asked about the content of the exchange her husband just had and the problem that made him embarrassed in Highland.
Lu Lu Jianuo took the opportunity to lean to Lumian's side and translated the key points of what the couple was discussing.
Hearing that they were actually seriously considering whether to let him pretend to be a sailor, board that special sacrificial boat, and participate in the last two links of the Prayer to the Sea Ceremony, Lumian's eyebrows moved slightly.
Does Rubio Paco really intend to agree to me?
I just opened an outrageous price first to see if I could squeeze out some details of the Prayer to the Sea Ceremony. I never thought that just by relying on such a simple task, I would threaten the employer and really participate in the last two links of the Prayer to the Sea Ceremony!
That is a secret that the Fishery Guild has kept for thousands of years, and it is also the source of their power and prestige!
As his thoughts raced, Lumian deeply suspected that the commission of sending Marta to Milo Village to see the current "Sea Viceroy" hid a very high risk, not something that could be completed by just finding any Beyonder, so Rubio Paco didn't want to give up the great adventurer Louis Berry who had already proven himself.
"But where would the danger be? This is Santa Harbor, not those islands on the sea, nor those remote towns in the Southern Continent. Which Beyonder dares to attack me on the street in broad daylight, not afraid of being caught by combat nuns and turned into land fertilizer? Never underestimate the power of a righteous church!
"Unless, there is a special ability like 'Loki' that can kill me without anyone noticing on a busy street, or a saint with divinity takes action personally, seeking to solve the battle before the 'Earth Mother' Church reacts... but it's not that exaggerated, just such a small matter..." Lumian thought about it, and Rubio and Georgia reached a result.
The former said to Lumian:
"I cannot let you participate in the last two links of the Prayer to the Sea Ceremony. This is a blasphemy against the sea. The people and families involved will be driven out of Santa Harbor.
"But I can let you hide in Milo Village in advance and watch the ancient performances in the village during the vigil ceremony."
In other words, you can't watch the vigil ceremony directly, but you can enjoy the folk performances that cooperate with the vigil ceremony? Did "Salted Egg Superman", "Bard", and "Crazy Woman" use this method to get close to the core of the Prayer to the Sea Ceremony and complete the most critical part of the prank? Lumian saw that Rubio had made the greatest concession and no longer "insisted", saying with a smile:
"Deal."
Without waiting for the other party to respond, he "kindly" suggested:
"Send Marta to Milo Village today? Illness cannot be delayed. Seek treatment as soon as possible."
Rubio hesitated and said after a few seconds:
"My mother is already asleep. She sleeps a lot recently. Forcing her to wake up will affect her body and spirit. How about tomorrow morning?"
Is this to prepare something in advance? Lumian nodded thoughtfully:
"No problem."
He glanced at Lu Lu Jianuo beside him, moved in his heart, and said:
"Mr. Rubio, my translator is actually a very excellent doctor, and he doesn't believe in the 'Earth Mother', nor does he belong to any church. If he treats your mother, it should not be necessary to obtain the permission of the 'Sea Viceroy' in advance."
Lumian emphasized the word doctor.
Rubio Paco almost didn't think and shook his head directly:
"We trust the church's doctors more.
"My mother is my most important relative, and I don't want her to take any unnecessary risks."
His hidden meaning is, I can't determine how your translator's medical skills are, and I can't take the grandmother of the Paco family as an experimental subject.
Lumian himself actually also looked forward to sending Marta to Milo Village, because that meant he might see the current "Sea Viceroy" and have the opportunity to understand some things. His suggestion that Lu Lu Jianuo treat the old grandmother was just testing Rubio.
The result of the test is that there are still many secrets in this matter!
After agreeing to escort Marta and her maid to see the "Sea Viceroy" at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, Lumian took Ludwig and Lu Lu Jianuo out of the main house at 21 Saint Lana Street, and Georgia sent them to the door all the way.
Lumian said casually:
"Does the 'Sea Viceroy' have to live in Milo Village?"
Georgia, who got Lu Lu Jianuo's translation, nodded gently:
"The 'Sea Viceroy' must live in the building where the vigil ceremony is held every night. He can move freely during the day, just not leave Santa Harbor."
The building where the vigil ceremony is held? Is the essence of the vigil ceremony for the prospective "Sea Viceroy" to enter the mansion, replace the former "Sea Viceroy", and wait for the official appointment of the "Sea" the next day? Lumian combined his mystical knowledge to make a guess.
He asked with a smile:
"What kind of benefits will there be after becoming the 'Sea Viceroy'?"
Georgia, who finished listening to the translation, was silent for a few seconds:
"Among the people related to fishery, in the eyes of many sea merchants, that is the real viceroy."
She didn't answer Lumian's question directly, just made a hint.
Lumian nodded slightly, didn't ask any more questions, and took Ludwig and Lu Lu Jianuo out of the iron fence gate.
After walking a few steps along the avenue with green trees, he suddenly looked up and looked toward the side high place.
A gray-feathered myna was standing on the branch there.
Lumian withdrew his gaze, continued to move forward, until he boarded a taxi carriage parked on the side of the road.
After a while, the myna flapped its wings and flew up, circled a few times, bypassed to a building two streets away, and flew into the open window.
It landed on the forearm of a middle-aged man and said in standard Highland:
"Louis Berry went to the Paco house again!
"Stayed for nearly two quarters of an hour!"
The middle-aged man's clothes were dusty, his appearance was ordinary, and his brown hair was messy. He looked like a farmer in the suburbs.
After feeding the myna a few grains of self-made rice-like food, he said:
"You go and observe again, see if Rubio Paco and Georgia will go out today."
After the myna flew out of the window, the middle-aged man exhaled and turned his body.
Suddenly, his gaze froze. He saw a person sitting on the only back chair!
That person had black hair and green eyes, wearing a white shirt, black vest, dark trousers, and a golden straw hat.
Louis Berry!
The great adventurer Louis Berry!
The middle-aged man's back arched slightly, and his feet were separated a little to both sides, but he didn't make any other movements.
Lumian leaned back against the back of the chair, as if he had been invited to come in, and chatted in Intis:
"What are you monitoring with your bird?"
The middle-aged man was silent for a moment and said in a relatively awkward way:
"See who enters and leaves the Paco house, see what unusual movements are there."
"Very honest." Lumian nodded approvingly, "Who asked you to do it."
He was very happy that the other party knew a little Intis, otherwise he could only communicate by key words or catch him back to let Lu Lu Jianuo translate.
"Juan Oro." The middle-aged man answered without hesitation.
Juan Oro... President of the Fishery Guild, former mayor of Milo Village? Lumian smiled:
"You are actually so frank."
The middle-aged man smiled reluctantly:
"I don't think I'm stronger than the 'Devil Wizard' and can beat you."
"Not bad, only those who can recognize the situation and themselves can live longer." Lumian put his right foot on his left leg, "Why does Juan Oro want to monitor the Paco family?"
"I don't know, and there's no need to know. I just need to pass back what I see to harvest the reward." The middle-aged man looked sincere.
Lumian stared at him for a few seconds:
"Was that little monster last night sent by you?"
The middle-aged man froze for a moment:
"What little monster?
"Was there anything last night?"
Lumian laughed in a low voice, stood up, and didn't explain.
"What's your name?" He asked while walking toward the door.
The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment before answering truthfully:
"Sanchez."
Lumian opened the door, walked out, and disappeared from Sanchez's sight.
After returning to the Sollo Hotel, Lumian saw the letter paper folded into a square on the desk in the master bedroom.
He unfolded it skillfully and saw the handwriting of "Ms. Magician" as expected:
"You can tell those things to 'The Hanged Man', but don't talk too detailedly.
"I didn't explain the sounds you heard and the civilization fragments you saw before because the level is still too high for you. You just need to remember, in ancient ruins like the Fourth Epoch Trier, never listen or look around randomly. Also, remind your 'Wizard' friends, it's okay to listen to the 'Hidden Sage's' infusion occasionally, but don't really believe in Him. His current state is also very wrong."
After Lumian burned the paper, he thought about it and decided to "teleport" back to Trier directly to tell Franca in person, so as not to have any accidents that he couldn't rescue in time.
Trier, Memorial Hall District, 9 Aoluosai Street, apartment 702.
When Lumian's figure was outlined, Franca and Jenna were looking through a pile of ancient materials they didn't know where they collected.
"Hey, can't you 'teleport' outside the door and knock? It's very scary to appear suddenly like this!" Franca almost tightened the invisible "spider silk" she had been arranging in the room for a long time.
Lumian laughed:
"With the intuition of a 'Witch', what's the difference between me 'teleporting' outside the door and 'teleporting' to the living room?"
"Why did you come back suddenly?" Franca paused, "Ms. Magician said that matter can be told to me?"
"What matter?" Jenna asked blankly.
She stood up and put on a gesture of avoiding.
"Yes." Lumian responded to Franca's question, but didn't stop Jenna from leaving.
Franca saw this and didn't either.
After Jenna entered her bedroom, Lumian said to Franca:
"When they were communicating about the wilderness dream, I thought of the sounds I heard and the scenes I saw in the Fourth Epoch Trier. That has to do with 'Celestial Master'!"
ps: Asking for double monthly tickets at the end of the month, and there will be an update for the first place on the annual list~
