Chapter 664: That Sentence (Thanks to book friend 130704215050523 for the reward)
Colobo finally turned his body.
He took off his sunglasses and said with a face full of exhaustion in Dutan language:
"My intuition tells me not to look directly at them, at most take a quick glance or two."
"Why?" Rhea, the wild woman carrying a hunting bow, asked curiously.
"Intuition." Colobo himself didn't know why, but he firmly believed that he shouldn't do so.
The Feysac man Loban showed a thoughtful expression.
"What did you think of?" Maslow, with white oil paint patterns on his face, turned his head and asked.
The three of them had worked together in Tizamo Town for a year and had a fairly good understanding of each other. As soon as Maslow saw Loban's appearance, he knew he must have associated it with something.
Seeing Camus and the others cast their gazes, Loban weighed his words and said:
"When I was adventuring on the Five Seas, I accidentally learned a sentence:
"'Do not look directly at God.'"
"'Do not look directly at God'..." Camus's temple jumped, and he repeated this sentence in a low voice.
As a descendant of the Castilla family, although belonging to a branch family, he still had access to more and broader occult knowledge than ordinary Beyonders.
Could it be that Louis Berry and his godson are gods, so they cannot be looked at directly?
No, it definitely isn't like this. Colobo also didn't dare to look directly at Tevanaco, but this was only a Beyonder who simultaneously possessed the Sequence 5 power of both the "Prisoner" and "Criminal" pathways, not even a demigod!
"I've also heard this sentence when listening to a priest's sermon. This emphasizes respect and worship for God, right?" Rhea was a quite devout believer of the "Eternal Blazing Sun."
"No, that's not content from the scriptures of major churches. It was recorded in a book related to occultism." Loban shook his head and denied Rhea's statement.
Maslow laughed in a low voice:
"It couldn't be that that great adventurer is a god walking on earth, right?"
"Not necessarily a true god." Loban recalled and said, "The annotation in that book is that 'God' refers to mythical creatures. I don't quite understand what mythical creatures refer to, but since there is the word 'God,' at least they must possess divinity. Is that great adventurer a demigod?"
"It doesn't look like it at the moment." Camus gradually had a new line of thought, "Maybe that great adventurer is a Blessed of some god, and has some divine object or aura bestowed by Him, so, it is indeed 'do not look directly at God,' but 'God' doesn't refer to him, but to something on him."
This could explain Tevanaco's situation very well.
"You mean, the same as that most famous great adventurer?" The Feysac man Loban suddenly realized.
Adventurers, treasure hunters, pirates, and merchants on the Five Seas now all know that Gehrman Sparrow is the God's Messenger of the "Fool," and later became an angel.
"Right." Camus nodded.
At the same time, he cursed in his heart:
Shit, why was I sent to watch over such a matter involving a god's Blessed?
This is definitely very dangerous, and I could die because of it if I'm not careful!
Camus actually didn't want to accept this order from Vice Captain Reyasa yesterday, but in the past five years or so, the other party had pulled him back from the edge of death where he couldn't save himself three times. He really had no way to refuse.
Otherwise, with the prefix "Don" and the surname "Castilla," he could completely refuse his superior's order. At worst, he could leave the Patrol Force and go elsewhere to find opportunities. Anyway, he had already digested the Sequence 7 "Interrogator" potion, and the money needed for subsequent advancement was almost saved because of Louis Berry's two commissions. Even if he returned to the family, he would no longer be the kind of person who was ignored and overlooked.
It was to repay Reyasa's previous kindness that Camus reluctantly agreed to come to Tizamo Town to monitor Louis Berry's every move. With emotions in his heart, he naturally couldn't help but swear.
—As a quite devout believer of the "Mother Goddess of Earth" who had received enough education, Camus would not say words like "mother-pig-raised," "mother-dog-raised," or "bitch-raised." In his view, mothers are all great, and giving birth and raising are equally important, just as the earth both nurtures all things and nourishes their growth.
After discussing the matter of the great adventurer Louis Berry for a while, the Feysac man Loban looked at Camus and Colobo and said:
"When we were transferred to Tizamo Town, it was said that we could go back after staying for a year, and we wouldn't be left here forever. Now it's almost a year, and you guys have also come. Does this mean we can go back to Port Pylos?"
You Feysac people look tall, strong, rough, and lacking in brains, but you are actually very dishonest... This is discovering that the problem hidden in Louis Berry's matter might be very big, and you want to find an excuse to slip away early? Camus keenly perceived Loban's hidden thoughts and scolded with a laugh:
"There's still a week left!
"Don't think about going back to Port Pylos early. We are not here to rotate you."
…………
Buriu Hotel.
This is the hotel most liked by those gentlemen who come to Tizamo Town for hunting. Although it cannot be compared with the Aurella Hotel, it is at least relatively clean.
Lu Mian's only reason for choosing this place is that there are suites.
Otherwise, he would have to rent two adjacent rooms, use the "Hunter's" accurate grasp of the building structure to blow a door out of the wall without affecting the overall load-bearing, and wait until he wanted to move out, then let Lugano build the stone bricks back and repair the wall.
The ground floor of the Buriu Hotel is also empty, supported by stone pillars, but the three-story building above it has a clear Intis style. The beige walls, the recessed areas with statues, the arched windows, and the windows with shutters made Lu Mian feel as if he had returned to Trier.
After Lugano lit that mosquito-repellent candle and used the slightly irritating smell to drive away the poisonous insects and mosquitoes in the room, it was even more like it.
"This is very similar to how people in Trier use the smell of sulfur to drive away bedbugs..." Lu Mian recalled what happened when he first arrived in Trier.
After he used the smell of sulfur to drive the bedbugs to the next room, he was driven back by the playwright Gabriel, who also lit sulfur. After a tug-of-war, most of the bedbugs went to other rooms, and only a small amount lingered in place, which were completely cleaned up by the "Doll" messenger.
Thinking of Gabriel, who was confirmed dead, and the tenants who died in the Jin Huang Rooster Hotel, Lu Mian sighed silently.
He walked to the window and looked at the street below.
Gentlemen in hunting clothes and their servants leading unicorn horses walked through the townspeople with dark brown or light brown skin, entering places like the Buriu Hotel and Jungle Restaurant like a river branching.
Under the noon sun, Tizamo Town in this season is both hot and humid, not suitable for outdoor activities.
Lu Mian, who was on the second floor, concentrated his spirit and observed the passersby directly below.
He tried to see the possible problems in Tizamo Town from their luck.
He was prepared to encounter backlash or pollution.
The luck of these passersby was all normal. Someone seemed to have a romantic encounter, someone would lose a sum of money, someone might encounter a bloody disaster but it was not too serious...
Lu Mian withdrew his gaze and said to Lugano:
"You take Ludwig to rest, I'll go out for a walk."
"Okay." Knowing that the trip to Tizamo Town might be very dangerous, Lugano had no idea of going out for a stroll at all, unless his boss asked him to prepare food for Ludwig.
He couldn't not go, otherwise he would be that food!
Tizamo Town is not small, with two streets crossing each other. Lu Mian walked with his hands in his pockets, wearing a golden straw hat, walking slowly on the road.
He wore a straw hat now not to strengthen Louis Berry's characteristics, but to block the sun—actually, many times before, he also had this purpose.
This is because the negative impact brought by the contract ability of "Shadow Transformation" is that he is more afraid of the sun than ordinary people.
Although Lu Mian can endure it by relying on the "Monk's" ability, this will also affect his state to a certain extent. Why make things difficult for himself when a straw hat can solve the problem?
Moreover, after establishing the image of wearing a golden straw hat for Louis Berry, the enemy would not think about him being afraid of the sun and target that.
As his gaze moved randomly, Lu Mian saw a young girl.
She was a standard Northern Continent person, with black hair draped down like a waterfall, several sparkling bows tied on top of her head, eyes dyed a cerulean color, which complemented her straight and delicate nose, and her brows were filled with an irrepressible youthful atmosphere.
This girl was wearing a light, white pleated long dress with lace, but what she was wearing was not high heels, but a pair of brown leather boots. When she talked with her companions, she would sometimes gesture with her hands and feet, and sometimes let her laughter spread like silver bells, seemingly not caring about the views of the surrounding pedestrians at all.
Lu Mian looked at her a few more times.
This was not because she was beautiful, although she was indeed quite beautiful, but whether from appearance or temperament, she couldn't compare with witches and those who were truly beautiful among humans.
Lu Mian just felt that her personality was different from those ladies in Trier.
In Trier, middle-class and upper-class decent women, no matter how open they were in private, still paid attention to their image in public and cared about the views of others. This is a manifestation of upbringing.
And this girl was full of a free and easy atmosphere, laughing loudly when she wanted to, and turning half a circle when she wanted to.
This was different from the kind of women from the lower class who lacked upbringing. This girl's dress, speech, and temperament all indicated that she had received a good education and her family environment was quite good.
"Amandine, daughter of Sir Petit of Palm Manor, fiancée of Mr. Robert." Camus was like a ghost, appearing from nowhere and standing beside Lu Mian again, introducing her.
Palm Manor is a plantation near Tizamo Town.
A girl born and raised in the Southern Continent, who received a good education and was not affected by various perceptions of the middle and upper classes in Trier... Lu Mian judged while thinking of his sister Aurora.
Sometimes, Aurora would also show such a side.
But the reason was obviously different.
"Where are you going?" Camus turned to ask.
Lu Mian withdrew his gaze and answered with a smile:
"Church.
"Do you want to follow me to praise the sun?"
