Chapter 123 Expenses for Activities
The Predator Cross seems to be planning something very big, and Lumian finally understands the true purpose of Mr. K's letting himself join a gang.
The iron-blooded Cross, which involves the same secret organization, seems to have something to do with the struggle for faith and the situation in Trier.
After thinking for a while, Lumian asked, "What kind of organization is the Iron Cross Society?"
The more he knows, the more likely he is to make Gardner. Martin appreciates and approves of the behavior.
Mr. K chuckled, "Wait for Gardner. Martin himself told you that if you had known their specific situation in advance, they would probably have seen a problem with some of the details."
That's why you asked me, a simple and ignorant country boy with a wanted warrant, to be a "spy"? Want a blank piece of paper with a simple background? Lumian nodded thoughtfully.
He thought of Gardner. Martin gets his hands on Trier's mysterious object through Christo the Mouse, and he thinks that the Savoyard Party also supports Hugue. Artois pondered for two seconds and said, "Will that thing planned by the Iron Cross be the same as that of Huge. Artois related?"
Mr. K replied in a hoarse voice, "According to the information we have gathered, it is only one part, not the main body."
That's right. Lumian turned to the "Man in the Mirror" and concluded, "Gardner. Martin seems to have known in advance that the item he had the smuggling caravan to deliver would cause a corresponding accident."
Mr. K was silent for a while and said, "I suspect it's a very important and crucial item, and that's what you need to figure out.
"Don't worry, our Aurora Society will never skimp on rewards, and when the time comes, you can ask for anything."
As soon as Lumian was about to say in his heart, "Help me resurrect my sister," he heard Mr. K add, "As long as it's within my power."
It's quite honest. I'm really going to become a full member of the Predator-Blooded Cross, and I'll have access to the corresponding information. The Predator Cross will definitely give me some membership benefits, and I can turn around and claim rewards from the Aurora Society. Well...... This is a step in the quest of Ms. Magician, who will not fail to reward me, the holder of the little Arcana card...... It's rare to get three rewards for doing one thing...... Lumian sighed silently, but with the mentality that it didn't matter if he was rejected, he said, "I need a little money for the event now."
[In view of the general environment,
The purpose of the use of the funds is to improve the individual's strength and lay a "solid foundation" for the completion of the task.
Mr. K seemed to nod his head: "No problem, I'll give you 10,000 Filkins later, which is the benefit of you officially joining our Aurora Society and participating in a high-risk mission."
In Intis, welfare is a common word, derived from Russell the Great.
It's very generous...... At this moment, Lumian couldn't help but wonder if he should find a few more similar secret organizations to join and get a few more membership benefits.
Mr. K stood up, lowered his hands, and walked slowly around Lumian.
As he walked, he said solemnly, "My Lord is the great being who created this world and is the father of all living beings." Each of us is essentially derived from her and possesses the divinity she gives.
"The divine nature is present in every living being, and there is no one more noble than the other, and we distinguish one by one by whose position is closer to our Lord and who is more receptive to the teachings of God.
"It is precisely because everyone has divinity that we can accumulate more divinity by taking potions, being tested again and again, and finally becoming angels serving our Lord."
Is this preaching? Lumian felt that this was a bit similar to the Magician's talk about the original Creator's self-disintegration into different extraordinary characteristics, and it seemed to be common in nature.
This made him suspect that the "true creator" of the "Aurora Society" believed in was the original one.
After nearly a quarter of an hour, Mr. K finally finished his sermon by drawing a cross on his chest in the order of top, bottom, left, and right: "Praise you, praise
Thou hast created all things, and thou hast been praised for carrying the sins of the world."
Lumian followed suit, uttering the same compliment.
Mr. K then introduced the situation of the "Aurora Society": "We now have a total of seven saints and 22 oracles with alphabetical code names in different places......
There are twenty-one others as strong as Mr. K? The Sage is a demigod in Sequence 4 and Sequence 3 with a divine nature. There are seven "Aurora Clubs"? Lumian was stunned.
The members of the Aurora Society are much more powerful than he thought.
As for whether there is an angel-level big man, Mr. K didn't mention it, and Lumian has no way to guess.
After a brief introduction, Mr. K grabbed his right index finger with his left hand, ripped it off, and threw it to Lumian in a bloody way: "Use it at a critical time."
Lumian caught the finger whose blood had coagulated, and had the same phantom pain as he had last time. Although he is not afraid of pain or injury in battle, and can also give himself a knife without blinking an eye when he is in need, it is absolutely impossible to pull out his finger when he is okay like Mr. K.
In just a few breaths, Mr. K grew new fingers with pale color and tender skin.
As the party was not until 9 p.m., Lumian received 10,000 Feldin and found the "Old Magazine Library" at 19 Sher Street, a luxurious off-white six-story building open to the public, and stayed there until 6 p.m.
Then, he took a leisurely look for a nearby restaurant and asked for a cheap set menu for 2 Felkin.
This consists of a regular bottle of red wine, a soup, three dishes, a dessert, and unlimited bread.
The three dishes were chosen according to the menu provided, and Lumian asked for a beef chowder, a braised rabbit and a roasted cauliflower.
When the party began, he already had scorpion venom and sold the blood of the water monster, the poison scales and other things that he could not use, in exchange for 100 Filkin.
So far, he has 14,710 Felkin and 24 Coppes in cash, most of which was given by Mr. K.
This gave him confidence that he would raise 30,000 Felkin in a short period of time.
Borrow a little here, embezzle a little there, plus the proceeds of the loot, isn't it?
Towards 11 p.m., Lumien returned to the Candid Market area.
Ruhr and Michel, who live on the third floor and sell "street school beauties" near the Suhitt steam train station, are dragging bulging linen bags up the stairs.
Glancing at them with gray hair, Lumian asked with a little confusion, "So late?"
He knew that Ruhl and Michel were still part-time waste pickers, and he had met them a few times before, but he remembered that they would end the job by nine o'clock at the latest.
Ruhr, who was in shabby clothes and had a slightly awkward back, smiled and said with a little joy: "Tonight, the Congressman's office was holding a celebration banquet and threw out a lot of valuable garbage. We waited until the bag couldn't fit enough before we came back."
The Market District Congressman's Office celebrates Hugue. Artois elected? With a slight bow, Lumian walked past the old couple and returned to room 207.
Before he could light the calcium carbide lamp, he saw a piece of white paper folded into squares quietly on the table with the help of the crimson moonlight seeping in from the window.
Observing the neatly folded state of the paper, Lumian suspects that it is a letter from the "magician" lady.
"Pyroman" potion recipe? Before I returned, she asked the Courier to put the "Fireman" potion recipe here? Is she so sure I will become a full member of the Aurora Society? Or, something else to inform me? With all his thoughts in mind, Lumian lit the calcium carbide lamp, picked up the blank piece of paper, and carefully opened it: "Your next task is to complete the task given by Mr. K. You see what I mean?" "Fireman" potion recipe: "Main ingredient: the glands of the fire salamander, the core of the magma elves." Auxiliary materials: 50 ml of blood of fire salamander, 10 grams of magma pyroxene powder, 10 grams of red-crowned impatiens powder, 10 drops of Holy Star Lily Hydrosol.
"How to use: What do you think?"
The name of the main material was written...... This is because of the need for the main material
Companion creatures to concoct potions?
The "Magician" lady also wants to find out the current situation of the "Predator Cross"? How did she know that Mr. K would arrange for me to do this today? Or does she not care what Mr. K asks me to do, but just hopes that I can further gain Mr. K's trust and gradually become a core member of the Aurora Society? Lumian leaned towards the former guess, but did not rule out the latter.
The only option he has at the moment is to do it.
After two occult gatherings, Lumian has some understanding of the value of potion recipes. I know that the "Fireman" potion recipe at hand is worth at least 30,000 Feldin.
If he can sell it, he can exchange it for the "Arsonist" extraordinary trait.
Of course, this was just a flash of the wave of Lumian's impulse, and he didn't dare to do it without the Magician's explicit statement.
Isn't this the equivalent of taking the potion recipe given by Ms. "Magician" and adding some money in exchange for Ms. "Magician's" extraordinary characteristics of "Fireman"?
In contrast, Lumian felt that a certain trading scheme popular in Intis, known as a "business paradise" and a "financial empire", was more feasible: a down payment of 10,000 filkins and the remaining 20,000 yuan in installments over a year, including 10 to 15 percent interest.
After thinking about it for a while, I felt that Ms. "Magician" probably gave up this idea because of the divine Lumian.
He had now raised nearly half of the cash, and there was no need to risk blasphemy against the demigods to talk about installments.
Even if the "Harvest Festival" doesn't sell for a good price, and Franka spends extravagantly, she has no savings, and there is still a large amount of cash in the financial safe of the Breeze Ballroom.
