Chapter 151: Reason
Joseph and Layan stopped and turned their bodies slowly while turning their gaze on Lumian.
Lumi watched them quietly, without explanation.
Joseph kept a polite smile with a hint of arrogance and oversight, and asked:
"Mr. Charles, I don't think I understand what you mean."
Lumian then said slowly:
"I have only allowed you to come up and visit me, and I have not yet allowed you to leave.
"This is my Breeze Ballroom, not your home, not where you can come and go if you want."
He didn't deliberately use the "provocative" ability, but his attitude, tone, and meaning were full of naked contempt, and he didn't fear your anger at all.
Layan, who had always been expressionless, narrowed his eyes, turned back, and continued to walk towards the staircase, as if the words Lumian had just said did not exist.
The brown-eyed Joseph glanced at Lumian, then at Layan, his eyes flickering, but did not stop.
Lumian unhurriedly pulled out the revolver and pulled the trigger towards the staircase, without the slightest hesitation or hesitation.

With a thud, Layan stopped again.
He turned slowly, his gaze looking at Lumian as if it were substantially oppressive.
There was a noticeable movement in one of Christo's pockets, and his expression suddenly became ugly and wary, and he smelled the imminent smell of danger.
Lumian seemed to be unconscious, took the revolver, and sincerely apologized:
"I'm sorry, I'm illegally owning a gun.
As he spoke, he looked back at Layan and Joseph with a faint smile on his face and no fear.
Joseph's forcible smile could no longer be maintained, and his eyes sparkled like eagles, looking at Lumian rather sharply, as if assessing the will, confidence, and strength of the gang leader.
Lumian was tempted to say "what you want, fight if you want, and give in if you don't" to completely anger the two liaison officers of the Trier Cavern Society, but gave up on this plan considering that Christo "Mouse" was still present.
That would expose his true purpose of deliberately provoking rather than trying to probe him, and then he would not be able to tell Gardner. Martin, a current or former "conspirator", explains.
His eyes met those of Joseph and Layan without wavering, and he held the revolver in his right hand and slid it slightly.
After more than ten seconds, just as sweat was pouring from the forehead of "Mouse" Christo, Joseph smiled again and asked politely:
"Shall we leave now, Mr. Charles?"
Yo, this is the real intention to see that I have nothing to do and want to move my fists and kicks? What about your pride and self-esteem? Lumian laughed secretly, and said in a tone that could infuriate people:
"Not yet.
Layan took a sharp step forward, but was stopped behind by Joseph.
The freckled, brown-eyed young man raised his chin slightly, looked at Lumien and said:
"What do we need to do to get your permission?"
Lumian smiled a little disappointedly:
"To answer my question, why did you invite me and Christo to join the Cave Society? I don't remember having a hobby of exploring caves and studying caves. ”
Joseph was silent for several seconds and said:
"Our guild cave adventurers have met Christo several times underground, and have noticed that he has a good knowledge of underground Trier and seems to know a lot of hidden routes, which is in line with the invitation of our cave guild."
"Mouse" Christo has no doubts about this explanation, although he goes underground mainly for smuggling, but no matter which smuggling route is not completely hidden, he will always pass through some tunnels and mines that are well known to cave adventurers and quarry police, and in the process, it is inevitable to encounter a small number of "passers-by" or be snooped on by "passers-by" from a distance.
Lumien rubbed the muzzle of the revolver and did not interrupt Joseph's narration.
Joseph paused for a few seconds and then said:
"As for you, there are two reasons:
"One is the 'specimen of the earth's blood ore."
That "earth blood" ore specimen..... Lumian didn't expect this reason at all.
He didn't immediately think about the reason, and followed the rich experience of pranks and the time since Anthony . Rhett's guidance, blurted out:
Specimens of 'Ground Blood' ores...... Ah, I remember, I got it from a madman named Flemish, isn't that thing just a stone? It's worthless, I don't even know where I lost it. ”
Speaking of this, Lumi moved with peace of mind and added reminiscingly:
"It seems to have been stolen, I originally threw it in an apartment I rented, hehe, people like us, there will definitely not be only a place to rest and sleep, there are many traps buried in my apartment, who knows, there is even a thief who can sneak in smoothly and open the cabinet, and besides, he only took the piece of blood ore, and nothing else was touched, I was still very strange at the time, I thought it was not my mistake, the stone was lost a long time ago, and I never entered the thief......
See Shire. Dubois spoke very truthfully, with enough detail, and his tone and expression proved that he did not value the ore specimen at all, did not take it seriously, and now it was only a feeling of losing a little clutter, Joseph and Layan glanced at each other, and their attitudes changed subtly.
It was only at this point, after completing a series of performances, that Lumian thought about the reason why the Trier Cave Society had found it based on a piece of "earth blood" ore:
The 'hemorrhage' rock formations have existed in Trier for hundreds of millennia, and the small amount of specific minerals contained in them is certainly not a recent one, which has been noticed by Flemish and other mineral researchers.....
"Trier's official forces and some covert organizations should know that a small amount of specific minerals in the 'Earth Blood' rock formation have a certain relationship with the fallen 'Blood Emperor' Arista and Tudor, but they have not been found to have actual value, but they will only cause some degree of contamination to the spirit of the contact.....
"That night, I activated the imprint of my right hand, which made many of Trier's high-ranking people sense that someone in it might have recognized it as 'Blood Emperor Arista'. Tuduo's breath, so he began to check the related items........
The whereabouts of the small amount of a specific mineral in the 'Blood' rock formation are a clue to the trace, and Flemish's relics have been registered with the police headquarters of the market district......
"The Cave Society has some kind of relationship with the authorities, so I accepted the task and found me who took the Flemish relics....
"Why don't you just ask someone from the police headquarters?" The Purifier', the 'Mechanical Heart', and the members of the Eighth Bureau all have their respective police identities....
"Well, the official is not a whole, not only is it divided into the government and the two major churches on the surface, but in practice, each force has different factions:
"The Eternal Sun's Church's 'Evangelistic Brotherhood' and 'Little Brotherhood' are in conflict, and the Church of Steam and the Mechanical God' Church has a conflict between the monastic system and the church system, and the Eighth Bureau is even closer to patchwork, some of the members are from hidden organizations recognized by the government, some belong to former aristocratic groups such as Sauron that still retain a certain strength, and some are cultivated by the Eighth Bureau itself over the years......
"That is, the members of the eighth game cannot join any political party, otherwise it will be more lively........
"In this case, a certain group within a certain force thought of the special blood 'ore' line, but was unwilling to let others know, so they gave up the police station as an open channel and tracked it down through the informal cave association?
"Maybe someone in the Cave Society thought of this clue, and they were one of the most experts in the knowledge of the underground and mineral specimens...
"That's why they didn't directly ask me to cooperate with the investigation, but tried to invite me to join the Cave Society?"
Lumien quickly made a preliminary judgment and waited for Joseph to say the second reason.
Joseph spoke:
"We thought you were interested in underground minerals and were like-minded.
"Was it really stolen, or did you put it somewhere else but forgot?"
"It must have been stolen." "I have found some traces, because of this incident, I was worried that the gold I had saved would be stolen, and I went to the bank to rent a safe to put it.
Joseph nodded lightly and said:
"The second reason is that Kendal, the caretaker of the catacombs, told us that among the people who brought Flemish ashes to be buried there, you seem to be a little special and can detect some anomalies that no one else can detect."
This is to follow the line of "earth blood" ore to find the catacombs...... Lumian suddenly realized:
"I don't understand what you're referring to by special.
Without explaining or asking, Joseph looked at Lumien and said:
"Mr. Charles, we may leave now."
Lumian looked at them for a few seconds and nodded slowly:
"Yes.
Things changed, and he gave up the idea of provoking the two liaisons and offending the Trier Cavern Society.
Although he has angered Joseph and Layan now, the other party has also got the answers they wanted, at least partially, and after that, there may be small retaliation, and a big cleanup should not happen.
After seeing Joseph and Layan disappear at the top of the stairs, Lumi sat quietly for dozens of seconds, put away the revolver, stood up, and said to Christo, the "mouse":
"This matter is more complicated than I expected, and I have to report it to the boss."
He thought of a dangerous possibility:
If it was the Saurons who traced the whereabouts of the special "Earth Blood" ore through the Cave Society, they knew about the Shire. Dubois, a gang leader, once owned a specimen of ore, if it were found in Puifer. The son of a wealthy merchant who appears unusual in Sauron's game of king's cake is none other than a member of the Savoyard Party, and it's hard not to associate it with him.
So, you have to find Gardner right away. Martin reported the situation and explained "frankly" in order to eliminate hidden dangers and obtain useful advice.
At the door, the waiter immediately went to Gaxinna. Ordered to report to the pretty and frank job
Wen Yi, with the hidden ambition of Kaji, the useful Yang is backed by a secret organization such as the "Iron Cross Society", which is related to Gardner. The main task given by Martin, Lumian will certainly not "take matters into his own hands".
"Mouse" Christo hesitated for a few seconds and forced out a smile:
"Okay."
