Chapter 51: Gathering the Power of the Crowd
This is after communicating with your godson, come to me to confirm your attitude? Lumian kept the smile he had just smiled:
"It doesn't matter to me what you believe, as long as you don't believe in evil gods, and besides, believers in the 'God of Knowledge and Wisdom' are not wanted in Trier."
He was saying, "I'm still a wanted criminal, what do you like?"
Baron Brinell, who had always been a wise man, did not continue the subject, and said again:
"Thank you for helping me get Ludwig back, I don't know how to thank you."
He didn't offer a specific thank-you gift, wanting to see Lumian's attitude and thoughts.
Lumian pondered for a moment, and picked up the idea he had just given up:
Asking Baron Brinell to help him read the materials and write the "briefing" did not mean that he had to be in the same room as Franca, Jane, and Anthony Red, but it was entirely possible to give him some of the information and explain what to pay attention to, and let him go home and read and excerpt it by himself.
The same is true in Anthony. Red agreed to participate in the round-up of the parish priest Guillaume. Before Bennet's action, he could not be allowed to contact Janna and Franca directly, and then arrange a separate "office" for him.
Lumian looked at Baron Brinnel and deliberately asked, "Are you good at reading and taking notes?"
Aurore's witchcraft notes mention that the path mastered by the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom" church is called "Reader", which is also the name of Sequence 9 Potion, while Sequence 8 is "Reasoning Student" and Sequence 7 is "Detective".
Combined with the fact that Baron Brynell rarely exhibits special abilities, relying more on his excellent mind, good fighting skills, and excellent shooting ability to become the leader of the Savoyard Party, as well as his current beliefs, Lumien initially suspects that he is the extraordinary person in the "reader" path.
And just by looking at the name of the potion, it can be concluded that such a person is very good at reading.
Baron Brinnel took a puff of his pipe and said, "Compared to those illiterate, my reading and learning ability is not bad."
He didn't quite understand the purpose of Charles's question, and could only suspect that he was testing which way he was extraordinary.
And that's no secret, Gardner. Martin has known this for a long time.
Lumian smiled sincerely:
"I've recently gotten a bunch of information about spirit creatures, but you know that, you should know, right? Reading similar knowledge for a long time will bring a great burden to the spirit, and I am just an extraordinary person in the 'hunter' path, and I will not need these materials for a long time, but I hope that I can quickly find the corresponding knowledge when I need to use it, and do not waste precious time, so I would like to give you some information, please help me read it, and extract the key words. ”
"It's a lot like a library indexing." Baron Briniere understood it as soon as he heard it.
He smiled and said, "In fact, I took advantage of it, and that knowledge itself has great value."
Library Index...... He is worthy of being a believer in the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom", and he is really professional...... Lumien was very happy, thinking that Baron Briniere would probably be able to top one of Anthony. Redgar is a "rabbit of knowledge".
At the same time, he felt the need to beware of Baron Brinell, for example, by taking out ten of the materials given to the believers in the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom", looking at them in advance, making a record, and then comparing them with the index table submitted by Baron Brinell to see if he had deliberately omitted or tampered with them.
Of course, this is Lumian's stupid method, and he can ask Franca to use divination to determine it, but there is also the possibility of interference.
Lumian put his hands in his pockets, looked at Baron Brignier with coolie eyes, and said with a smile: "I don't care who takes advantage, as long as my purpose is achieved."
Baron Brinnel nodded slightly, didn't say anything more, just told Lumian where he would be in the morning, and asked him to send the information over.
Golden Rooster Hotel, Room 305.
Facing Anthony. Red, Lumian relaxed and repeated what he had just said to Baron Brienel, and finally said:
"That knowledge is the reward, in addition, I will also teach you a ritual magic, you can summon a special spirit creature to browse the information with you, extract the main points, how about it, do you want to take this commission?"
Anthony. Red's dark brown eyes reflected the figure of Lumian, and he said thoughtfully:
"You're in a hurry, and this thing has extra meaning for you, it's very important."
Lumian didn't think to hide this, and said:
"In the future, I want to deal with a strong enemy, I want to have a suitable contract creature, when the time comes, I may ask you to participate, mainly support, you can now think about whether to agree, what kind of reward you want, hehe, don't rush to reply, let's talk about it in two days."
"You are doing linguistic foreshadowing, so that I am mentally prepared enough to produce corresponding expectations." Anthony Reid peeked into Lumien's mind.
Lumian was a little embarrassed for a moment, but he had always been thick-skinned, and he smiled unaffected on the surface: "Don't you see that your life is in danger if you are so honest?"
Anthony. Red bowed his head slightly, making sure that something was going on, and then agreed to help him look through the materials and write a "briefing".
On the second floor of the Breeze Ballroom, in the room next to Lumien's bedroom.
Lumian looked at Anthony, who was sitting side by side, filling out the form as he flipped through the information. Red and the "Rabbit of Knowledge" nodded with relief and subtlety.
After emphasizing once again that he could not read in detail the knowledge of spirit creatures marked with words such as "powerful" and "dangerous", he left the place and transferred to the office at the end of the corridor.
Franka sat comfortably in Lumien's reclining chair and rested her red boots on the edge of her desk.
Puzzled and curious, she asked, "What exactly do you want us to help you with?" God mysterious. ”
Jaina sat in the chair across from her, turning her body as well and looking at the door.
Lumian closed the door and gave him a rough explanation, citing the fact that he needed to get a contract creature before he could deal with the priest of the parish.
"Wouldn't it be nice to do such a simple thing?" Franka muttered as she agreed to Lumian's request, and Janna was curious about the spirit creatures.
It didn't take long for Franka to raise her head, look at the three "rabbits of knowledge" and Jane and Lumian who were occupying a position, quickly flipping through the paper, and writing with a pen, and said with a smile:
"How can it feel like this is a small workshop, and we are copying coolies?"
Congratulations, you're feeling right...... Lumian replied casually, "Aren't I also looking at the information to fill out the form?"
Franka thought about it and continued her "work".
In this way, they were busy until more than 10 p.m., taking many breaks in between, including meals, naps, naps, relieving their bad state, and resummoning the "Rabbit of Knowledge".
From time to time, Lumian also took advantage of his short break to observe Franca, Jana, and Anthony. The state of Red and the four "Rabbits of Knowledge", lest they get too involved and not notice their anomalies in time.
The first to reach the limit was Jana, who had just been promoted to "Instigator", and she hadn't really adapted to potions yet, restraining the spillover power, and was not in very good shape.
The second is Anthony. Red, who has a heavy psychological shadow and a weak tolerance for certain anomalies.
Lumien, Franca, and the "Rabbits of Knowledge", who had been replaced in the seventh batch, persevered to the end.
And Baron Brinell finished his work at six o'clock in the evening, delivering the documents and forms to the café.
After dismissing the summons and seeing off the visibly tired "helpers", Lumian returned to the safe house on Whitecoat Street and stacked all the forms on top of each other.
He flipped through it, checked the general situation, and threw the forms on the table with a sense of accomplishment.
He didn't plan to start sifting right now, preparing to become a "contracted person", and then read the index after figuring out the requirements of the contract, lest he finally find out that the spirit creatures that were suitable for him in all aspects were finally found to not meet the conditions of the contract.
Lumian rested for a moment, then summoned a "Rabbit of Knowledge" and asked him to transcribe two additional copies of all the forms.
After storing the three indexes separately, Lumian was so tired that he didn't want to wash up, so he collapsed on the bed and fell asleep.
At six o'clock in the morning, the energetic Lumian did not rush to the ground, set up the altar, and pray for gifts, but jogged and practiced boxing as usual to soothe his mental state.
When it was almost eight o'clock, he brought the corresponding materials and walked to the door of room 207 of the Golden Rooster Hotel.
After a moment's hesitation, Lumian finally put on the calcium carbide lamp, although he no longer needed to prepare special lighting tools, which was the best kind in itself.
He wants to make the first reaction of possible enemies that he has no dark vision and is not good at creating light.
Underground Trier, in the cavern of the quarry where several fate-related rituals had been held before.
Lumian simply cleaned up the damp and dark surroundings and placed the candle infused with his own blood on the stone that served as an altar.
Just as he had finished sanctifying the ritual silver dagger and was about to make a "spiritual wall", Huo Ran heard a slight footstep.
The footsteps echoed through the empty tunnels deep underground, seemingly not far from the current mine.
Someone passing by? Lumi tightened his peace of mind and planned to quickly clean up the scene and hide.
He had barely approached the "altar" in front of him, and before he could extinguish the calcium carbide lamp, a slight footstep suddenly approached, appearing at the hollow entrance.
Seeing that he couldn't dodge, Lumian instantly turned around, put one hand in his pocket, and looked at the place where the sound came from.
There stood a thin, dark-skinned man carrying a calcium carbide lamp, with slightly curly black hair and dark eyes, dressed in the black robe of a circus soothsayer.
Monit ...... Lumian recognized who the man was.
He is the archipelago crook who deceived Charlie and was deceived by the crooks in the "different" cabaret.
Monette also saw Lumien.
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he greeted with a happy expression: "What a coincidence."
As he spoke, the crook took out a monocle made of crystal and placed it in the socket of his right eye.
