Chapter 665: Late Night (Thanks to Zhuri Yiran for again rewarding the Silver Alliance)

Like many churches in Intis, this one in Tizamo has a golden dome, just like the reflection of the sun on the ground.

Lu Mian had just passed through the main gate when he was almost dazzled by the gold leaf embedded in the walls, arches, and domes, the murals sprinkled with gold powder, and the statues dominated by gold. The sunlight shining in from the glass panes behind the altar made him instinctively raise his hand, wanting to press down the golden straw hat on his head.

It was currently noon break, and many Tizamo townspeople in thin, simple clothes were sitting in different positions, bowing their heads and praying.

They didn't mind the church's brilliant, luxurious appearance at all.

This is not only because they have all believed in the "Eternal Blazing Sun" since childhood, but also because the former Balam Empire had many gold mines, and the people widely loved gold. This hobby has been preserved to this day.

Lu Mian also liked gold, but he didn't want to endure such intense sunlight.

Camus, who was beside him, tried his best to explain:

"I'm not monitoring you, nor am I saying that wherever you go, I will follow, to prevent accidents.

"I am providing you with help. Your Dutan language is not yet proficient, and you lack sufficient understanding of the situation in Tizamo Town and the people here, and I can introduce them to you."

"Do you know them well?" Lu Mian took the opportunity to turn his head and ask with a smile.

Camus rubbed his fluffy brown hair and answered without any embarrassment:

"If there's anything I don't know, I can help you ask Maslow and the others."

Lu Mian didn't mind having such an official Beyonder following him. If he really encountered something, he could have one more thug.

He nodded slightly:

"If you want to follow, then follow."

While speaking, Lu Mian walked toward the row of seats in front of the altar, enduring the intense sunlight.

Camus hesitated for a few seconds and found a seat in the corner at the very edge of the church.

As a believer of the "Mother Goddess of Earth," he could freely enter and exit all churches of the true gods, but he could not have acts of worship.

As for Louis Berry, he only knew that the other party had a close connection with the "Fool" Church, but whether he believed in the "Fool" was not certain.

Lu Mian controlled the twitching of his facial muscles with the endurance of a "Monk," sat down facing the sunlight as if nothing had happened, lowered his head in front of the priest who was preaching, and began to pray.

That priest was a local from Port Pylos, named Kali. His skin was standard dark brown, his eye sockets were sunken, his contours could not be called soft, and his black hair was only a thin layer. He didn't wear a hat belonging to the clergy.

He was in his forties, his expression was solemn, and he used Intis language without an accent when preaching.

Lu Mian, who was pretending to pray, was very distracted, and many thoughts flashed through his mind, making him feel as if he had returned to Cordu Village. At that time, even if he attended mass and prayed at the church, he was thinking about his own affairs in a boundless way, and only when it was about to end would he hurriedly praise the sun a few times and make wishes for his sister's body to always be good and for himself not to have to do much homework and test papers to get into university.

None of these were realized.

After the priest finished preaching, Lu Mian raised his head, squinted his eyes slightly in the sunlight, and concentrated on observing Kali's luck.

Nothing special.

On the surface, Tizamo Town really had no abnormalities... In the pain like being sunburned, Lu Mian originally intended to withdraw his gaze, but his heart moved, and he used the "Reaper's" "Weakness Detection" ability.

He thought of the parish priest Guillaume Bénet and Father Montserrat of the "Mother Goddess of Earth" Church.

Who said that clergy of the true god churches couldn't have problems?

Since this is the case, he could completely observe the weaknesses in advance. Later, if he really encountered a situation where clergy fell, he could solve it quickly.

Various colors appeared on Kali's body surface and in Lu Mian's eyes.

But there was no pale color in them!

This meant Kali had no weaknesses!

Impossible, even if this priest is a Beyonder, his sequence shouldn't be very high, how could he have no weaknesses? The "Sun" pathway is not known for its hard body that doesn't fear strikes... Could it be from another pathway? No, all pathways should have weaknesses... Lu Mian was surprised and observed more carefully.

Finally, he discovered a faint pale color.

It was not on Kali's body surface, but deep in his star spirit body, appearing and disappearing.

This meant the weakness was the spirit, afraid of attacks targeting the spirit body? How did he manage to have no weaknesses in his flesh... At present, it seems that without targeting the spirit body, one would have to take his body apart piece by piece to kill him... Lu Mian's surprised and stunned emotions flew away, replaced by joy and anticipation.

No matter what, discovering abnormalities is a good thing!

This meant he was one step closer to the problem in Tizamo Town and the "Dream Festival" in "Siso's" words.

"Brother, what are you looking at?" Kali, holding the holy book, asked Lu Mian, who was looking up at him, with a smile.

Lu Mian answered with a smile:

"Looking at the sunlight on you.

"Praise the Sun!"

Saying this, Lu Mian stood up, opened his arms slightly, turned around, and left.

Now was not the time to investigate the abnormality on Kali.

Kali was very happy with Lu Mian's answer.

This is firstly because the other party was implicitly praising him for being bathed in sunlight, that is, receiving the god's favor, and secondly, as a local clergyman without a trace of Northern Continent blood, he had always longed for the recognition of gentlemen and ladies from the Northern Continent.

After leaving this church named Saint Cien, Lu Mian unceremoniously drove Camus, and under the other party's company, circled the entire Tizamo Town twice, including the military camp outside the town, the plantations, and the edge of the primitive jungle.

Camus seriously introduced everyone he knew.

By evening, Lu Mian walked toward the Buriu Hotel and asked casually:

"How did you handle that dead horse?"

"Sold it to the butcher, preparing to buy a new one from a nearby plantation owner." Camus answered indifferently.

Lu Mian felt a bit disappointed for Ludwig, closed his mouth, and entered the hotel.

Late night.

In the shadows outside the Buriu Hotel, Lu Mian, who was not wearing a golden straw hat, walked out and strolled toward the yellowish-brown house rebuilt by "Siso" Tevanaco.

It was already close to dawn, and Tizamo Town had become very quiet. Except for occasionally encountering a few patrolling soldiers and drunken guests and their companions helping them, no one else was walking outside.

Under the crimson moonlight, Lu Mian passed by the bar named "Giant Python" and heard noise still coming from inside.

And in the primitive jungle hundreds of meters away, the howling of beasts rang out from time to time.

Lu Mian walked all the way, finally arrived at his destination, and then went up to the third floor, finding the wooden bed that had been slept on by a human.

He was busy for a while, made preparations, didn't rush to lie down, looked around, and muttered to himself thoughtfully:

"Termiboros, did you find any problems here?"

Termiboros's magnificent, layered voice echoed in Lu Mian's body:

"I am borrowing your eyes, your ears, your nose, your spirituality, your fate to observe the outside world, just seeing a little more than you."

Meaning that being able to see or discover something is still limited by my body, spirituality, and level? Wait, this guy is becoming more and more of a riddle-maker, not answering at all whether there is an abnormality in this house, where the abnormality is... Lu Mian sneered:

"Are you really an angel of the fate pathway? I'm already Sequence 5, and you haven't been able to use my eyes and spirituality to discover the problem here. Didn't you see that a Sequence 8 of the 'Monster' pathway could produce the feeling of coldness here?

"No way, an angel of the fate pathway is not as good as a Sequence 8 of the fate pathway?"

The "Monster" pathway is also known as the "Fate" pathway.

Lu Mian provoked Termiboros, seeing if he could pry out some useful information from this angel-level "Monk."

He didn't hold much hope for this, but at least he wouldn't lose anything.

Termiboros returned to silence, as quiet as if he had disappeared from Lu Mian's body.

"Really can endure, worthy of being a 'Monk' angel." Lu Mian mocked, took out the gold-cased pocket watch from the Breeze Ballroom, and pressed it open to confirm the current time:

11:51 PM.

Putting away the pocket watch, Lu Mian lay on the wooden bed in the room.

He was here this time to try whether sleeping in this house in the middle of the night would trigger mutations, whether he could enter a special dream, and participate in the "Dream Festival."

For this reason, Lu Mian had warned Ludwig in advance, telling him that if he hadn't returned when he was eating his second midnight snack, he should come to the house rebuilt by Tevanaco and forcibly wake him up.

After Lu Mian promised that there would be a big meal tomorrow, Ludwig agreed.

Crackle, crackle, the ferocious spiders climbing on the outer wall of the house and the many mosquitoes in the room burned and fell together, the smell of charred meat overflowing.

Lu Mian relied on meditation techniques and quickly entered a state of deep sleep.

In a daze, he slowly woke up, straightened his body, and saw that he was still on the wooden bed, in the master bedroom on the third floor of "Siso's" house.

Outside the window, the night was deep, and the crimson moonlight seemed to be covered by clouds, only a little shining down, unusually dim.

The howling of beasts in the primitive jungle and the faint noise of the bar had all stopped completely, and the night had entered its most peaceful state, dead silent.

"No change..." Lu Mian sighed disappointedly.

He was about to take out the gold-cased pocket watch to confirm the time, and then leave the house in this deep, dark environment and walk along the street back to the Buriu Hotel, when his pupils suddenly dilated and his gaze appeared clearly frozen.

Borrowing the rather dim crimson moonlight, Lu Mian had just quickly scanned the situation on the floor of the room:

He didn't see the corpses of the mosquitoes!

The mosquitoes he burned to death using the "Pyro" ability before falling asleep should have fallen to the ground in a charred state, but now, they were nowhere to be found, and the floor surface was as clean as if it had just been swept!

"It couldn't be that someone took advantage of me sleeping and came in to clean the room, right? I pre-buried several traps around, they wouldn't be bypassed so easily... 'Wraith'?" Lu Mian instantly tightened his spirit, took out the gold-cased pocket watch he had put away earlier from the shirt pocket under his vest, pressed it open, and looked at the time:

11:58 PM.

ps: Thanks to Zhuri Yiran for again rewarding the Silver Alliance. Now it's a Jin Huang Alliance. According to the agreement, I will add one chapter. I'll put this on the weekend next week, because my wife just left the hospital and still needs to recover. I have to help more with the children, and I have to make up some drafts.
