Chapter 671

Thinking that Franca would meet with "007" tonight to discuss dealing with Moran Avigny, and that he would inevitably have to return to Trier tomorrow to discuss their respective divisions of labor and specific details, Lu Mian decided to summon Jenna's messenger, Xia Zuotu.

After writing Madam "Magician's" request on paper and folding it, Lu Mian set up a ritual, allowing that special "Knowledge Rabbit" to walk out from the candlelight.

The first thing that caught Lu Mian's eyes was the miniature half-top silk hat stuck between the two rabbit ears, followed by the gold-rimmed glasses and black trench coat that perfectly matched the size of the fuzzy rabbit-like creature, and finally the small, iron-black revolver held in the rabbit's paw.

The revolver shimmered with a metallic luster, its barrel extremely thick and the cylinder disproportionately large, very textured, and completely different from the illusory nature of the top hat, trench coat, and gold-rimmed glasses.

Seeing such a Xia Zuotu, Lu Mian raised an eyebrow:

"Is this a real gun?"

Xia Zuotu's eyes, hidden behind the glass of the gold-rimmed glasses, became sharp in a flash:

"Yes."

"Did Jenna have it custom-made for you?" Lu Mian asked as a follow-up.

Xia Zuotu answered concisely:

"This is the reward."

It actually has quite a cold and cool temperament... Miss Cherie Bello, have you considered what kind of consequences doing this will have? You haven't! Because I don't know what kind of consequences there will be either, unless I consult Madam "Magician"... Lu Mian complained in his heart and handed the folded letter to Xia Zuotu.

Seeing this rabbit-like creature that imitated humans preparing to turn and walk into the candlelight, the prank king of Cordu Village, Lu Mian, asked with great interest:

"Do you know how to shoot?"

Xia Zuotu was silent for a moment, looking a bit ashamed:

"Not yet."

Yo, it's not as cold as Gehrman Sparrow now, is it... Lu Mian laughed in a low voice:

"Jenna and I are friends. I'll help her pay the postage this time.

"Do you want to learn how to shoot? It includes knowledge and coaching."

Xia Zuotu, who was a bit taller than a normal rabbit, answered without hesitation:

"No problem."

The smile on Lu Mian's face became more and more obvious.

After finding a quiet spot on the edge of the primeval jungle and earnestly teaching Xia Zuotu how to shoot for a long time, Lu Mian put his hands in his pockets and walked back to Tizamo Town, intending to go to the only cafe here for some afternoon tea.

This cafe was called "Bunia" because the owner's name was Bunia.

He was an adult man under thirty who had worked as a waiter and apprentice at a cafe in Pylos Port. Later, thinking that many gentlemen and ladies came to Tizamo Town for hunting vacations every weekend but there wasn't a single real cafe, he returned here and converted the ground floor of his house into a semi-open-air cafe.

Passing through the tables and chairs placed on the street, Lu Mian arrived at the counter and said to the owner-cum-waiter, Bunia, with a smile:

"Do you have Fermo coffee?"

Bunia's brown skin wasn't that deep, and his facial features had the feel of a mixed-race person; his black hair even had a natural curl. But his parents were true Tizamo people, and whether it was his appearance or his background, this could be proven.

This twenty-seven or twenty-eight-year-old man smiled honestly in not-very-fluent Intis:

"Sir, there is no Fermo coffee."

Lu Mian had asked with a bit of mischief to begin with, so he didn't care much and switched to a Kosa coffee produced in Matani State.

He had just found a table to sit at and sipped the liquid, which intertwined bitterness and sweetness, when he saw Camus, with his vest open, and Lyra, wearing leather armor, walk into the cafe. Each ordered a cup of Intis coffee and a piece of corn nut cake with very Tizamo characteristics.

Seeing Lyra, the single Bunia became even more shy and busied himself without daring to lift his head.

As Camus and Lyra, who had received their coffee and corn nut cake, were about to find a seat, Lu Mian raised his arm and greeted them.

After Camus and Lyra sat down opposite him quite reluctantly, Lu Mian asked with a smile:

"Why do you look so exhausted?"

Glancing at the energetic great adventurer, Camus took a breath and slowly exhaled:

"We just finished work and can finally rest."

And they had even squatted outside the Briou Hotel until midnight yesterday!

"I just want to have a good sleep now." Having had the experience of exploring the dream together last night, Lyra was no longer as reticent when facing Lu Mian.

"Then you're still drinking coffee." Lu Mian replied with amusement.

He could clearly see that neither Lyra nor Camus had the energy of a "Sleeper."

"I want to hold out until after dinner before sleeping." Camus sighed.

Lyra shook her head:

"Coffee has no effect on me."

After chatting for a while, Lyra finished the corn nut cake, drank the coffee, and returned to the floor above the Police Headquarters nearby to rest. Camus continued to half-slump in his chair, sipping coffee from time to time.

"Has Lei Yasa arrived?" Lu Mian asked with a smile.

Camus was silent for a moment:

"He has. The ones following you tonight will be two out of him, Maxlo, and Loban."

As for Colobo, there was no need for him to be on duty; he didn't even dare to look, so how could he monitor?

While speaking, Lu Mian saw Miss Amandina from the Palm Manor leading a unicorn pony, walking outside the Bunia Cafe in quite a good mood.

This blue-eyed young girl was wearing a beige hunting outfit today, her dark hair simply tied into a half-high bun on the top of her head.

After throwing her riding crop and reins to a dark-brown-skinned manservant, she walked toward the counter with a maid who also looked like an Intis person.

Along the way, she happily responded to the greetings of several gentlemen and ladies in the cafe and greeted many locals drinking cheap coffee.

Seeing Camus's gaze following the young girl, Lu Mian teased:

"Do you want to duel her fiancé?"

"No, I am not that kind of person." Camus responded with a serious expression. "I admit, she is indeed very attractive to me, but she is already engaged to Mr. Robert. This is a sign of starting to build a family; I cannot allow myself to destroy someone else's family."

You Feynapot people... Lu Mian wasn't mocking, but sighing.

Such values are very Feynapot.

Of course, not every Feynapot person has such values.

Seeing that Lu Mian didn't respond, Camus said sternly:

"Don't you have any designs on her."

Lu Mian looked at this young man surnamed Castilla with amusement, waiting for him to provide further "explanation."

Camus frowned slightly:

"I know, you Intis people won't back off just because the other party has a fiancé or a husband; you might even feel it's more exciting. But you always chase after momentary pleasure and are rarely willing to take responsibility. Every time, you satisfy yourselves, you're happy, and then you turn and leave, leaving a lady to face everything that has been destroyed."

"Not every Intis person is like that." Lu Mian shook his head with a smile.

But most Trier people are like that... However, in such matters, neither side is innocent... He added two sentences in his heart.

Amandina, who looked full of vitality and slightly playful, passed the table where Camus and Lu Mian were sitting with her maid.

She first greeted Camus, then sized Lu Mian up a few times, and said frankly:

"I am Amandina, and you?"

"Louis Berry." Lu Mian responded with a smile.

Amandina nodded and suddenly laughed:

"You must have just come from Trier; you are not quite the same as the people here."

"No, I came from a village in the south." Lu Mian switched to Intis with a bit of a Darlie accent.

Amandina wasn't disappointed and happily asked a few questions about the folk customs of the southern provinces of the Intis Republic, then took her maid to the table in the very corner.

Camus watched the two interact, opened his mouth, and closed it again.

…………

Trier, Memorial Hall District.

Jenna was curled up on the sofa, flipping through a few newly bought novels with witch elements, when she suddenly saw Xia Zuotu appear in front of her, handing over a letter.

Looking at this rabbit-like creature with a strange sense of cuteness, Jenna opened the letter, took a glance, and asked earnestly:

"Do you want to choose your own reward, or should I just give you a book?"

"Lu Mian Lee has already paid for you." Xia Zuotu said in a low but very honest voice.

"Witch" Jenna suddenly had a bad premonition:

"What reward did he pay?"

"He taught me knowledge related to shooting and coached me through the first stage of practice." Xia Zuotu raised the special revolver in its hand in a flash, aimed at the door behind Jenna, and quickly put it down again.

This... Mr. Lu Mian Lee, have you considered what kind of consequences doing this will have? Jenna complained in her heart, both angry and amused.

But the matter had already happened, and she was powerless to stop it.

As thoughts raced through her mind, Jenna curled her lips and said with a sweet smile:

"The next reward will be a real underarm holster, and the one after that will be custom bullets with special effects, how about that?"

The eyes behind Xia Zuotu's glass lenses became enthusiastic:

"Okay!"

…………

Tizamo Town, night had long since arrived, and darkness shrouded this area.

Lu Mian stood inside that house belonging to "Siso," looked at the cold-tempered Deputy Captain of the Pylos Port Patrol Force, Lei Yasa, and the local Patrol Force Captain, Maxlo, who had white oil paint on his face, and said just as he had instructed Lu Jianuo:

"Be on guard for accidents."

This time, he used Dutan.

"Okay." Maxlo wasn't following the great adventurer Louis Berry for the first day; he was already used to his style.

Lei Yasa, wearing a thin formal suit, didn't speak, indicating with this attitude that there was no problem.

Lu Mian took out the tea-colored "Spectator Glasses" from the "Traveler's Bag."

His first task tonight was to use this strange item to observe the house of "Siso" from different perspectives to see if he could discover where the source of its abnormality lay.

After confirming his own state and preparations again, Lu Mian placed the tea-colored gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose.

The familiar sense of dizziness arrived as promised, and everything around him was reflected in Lu Mian's eyes in a way that had been disrupted and reorganized.

He saw poisonous insects crawling everywhere in the "sky," saw two walls that seemed to be dancing a circle dance, and saw a pool of groundwater deep in the soil that seemed to have absorbed all the light.
