Chapter 2: Sin (Asking for a monthly pass in the last half day)
In response to Franca's proposal, Lumian said unconcernedly: "Okay, if any of you want to use this armor in the future, I will 'teleport' it to you."
"What's it called? It's called Shire Post, and it's delivered instantly!"
After making a joke, he walked over to the "Arrogance Armor" standing on the side of the coffee table and tucked its silver-white gloves into the opening of the "Traveler's Bag".
With this movement, the tall full-body armor was retracted into a small dark black cloth bag.
- As long as one part of an object can fit into the "Traveler's Bag", no matter how large it is, it can pass through the opening without exceeding the space it contains, and a living flesh and blood body will normally not fit into the "Traveler's Bag".
Based on these two points, Lumian's first reaction when he got this remarkable object and its "instructions" was that it could be used to hide the corpse.
It's amazing......" Jaenna watched the scene with a little envy.
She had been to many occult gatherings, and had never seen anything like it, the closest thing to it was the world in the painting.
After Lumian hid the "Traveler's Bag" on the inside of his clothes, he looked around with a smile and said to Anthony and Jane: "After this incident, you should all be able to see that there is a secret organization behind me and Franca, not the 'Iron Cross', nor the Witch Sect, how about it, are you interested in joining?" If not, you will need to sign a non-disclosure agreement or make a binding commitment to keep secrets. ”
Janna had heard Lumian and Franca mention the secret organization before, and knew that what they really believed in was Mr. "Fool", and knew that it was codenamed by tarot cards, and at this time, she did not hesitate after receiving a response from "Fool": "I want to be one of you."
Anthony. Red was silent for a few seconds, then asked tentatively, "Is your organization following a hidden being?"
"It's the righteous God." Lumian said, "If you don't believe me, I can show you around the church." ”
Anthony watched his eyes and expressions to make sure he wasn't lying.
The "psychiatrist" smiled bitterly and said: "Then I have no problem, the previous encounter and this incident made me understand a truth, that is, I am still too weak to prevent such a disaster from happening, even if it appears next to me, I can only watch myself and the people around me fall into the abyss."
And if you want to strengthen yourself, it is a good choice to join a secret organization, especially if that secret organization is still following a certain god.
As a believer in the "God of Steam and Machines", Anthony just thought about it carefully and found that there was no hostility to any righteous god in the Church's holy scriptures, unlike the "Eternal Sun" Church, which always taught believers to hate the "Lord of the Storm" and the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom".
In other words, faith would not prevent Anthony from joining such a secret organization.
Without waiting for Lumien and Franca to respond, Anthony laughed to himself, "I originally wanted to go back to the west coast of the Sea to live a rural life, but now I'm worried that I can't really escape the disaster, just like the people in the market district, who wants to suffer from mutations again and again, hovering on the edge of life and death?" However, their will and their desires do not play any role.
"In my personal experience, disasters are becoming more and more frequent."
Lumian laughed at his companion: "Your mental illness has become verbose since you were cured."
He quickly said, "When you've determined which big Arcana card you belong to and you've been assigned a mission, we'll talk about the rest of the story."
Jaina pursed her lips and said with a somewhat gloomy expression: "I actually like living in the market area......"
Now it looks like it's time to move out.
Lumian laughed, "This is actually the protection of the market area, and the 'hunters' and 'witches' always bring disaster."
Always bring disaster, even if you don't do anything? Jana's eyes lit up and fell into deep thought.
"Get out! You're the only one!" Franka scolded angrily and amusedly.
In recent months, most of the disasters in the market area have been around the Shire, so what does it matter to me and Jana?
Doesn't that prove that "007" is right?
After explaining other things, Lumian and Franka walked out of 3 Rue Blae de la Blanca in the morning sun, one destination being the headquarters of the Psychic magazine on Scheer Street in the Boulevard district, and the other going to Chaylot.
Instead of riding in a public carriage as usual, Lumian opted for a four-wheeled, two-seater rental carriage.
Outside the car window, street vendors sell sour wine, meatloaf, freshwater fish, onion bread, hot sauce, refried beans and other items, and passers-by either stop to buy them, or rush by, some dressed as small clerks, and some wearing different colors of workers' uniforms.
After last night's riots and doomsday showers, it was a lively and noisy scene again.
For Lumien, this was no different from the old market area, except that he was once again wanted. Dubois's identity.
Industries such as the Breeze Ballroom have undoubtedly also been taken over by the Police Headquarters, and the power of the "Predator Cross" in the market area
Nearly uprooted.
Lumien regretted this, as it meant that he had lost a steady source of money.
Of course, after taking Ludwig in last night and informing the "magician" lady of the information, he took advantage of the fact that the chaos had not completely subsided, and made a special trip back to the breeze dance hall and took the 30,000 filkins in the safe, and now he has a total of 75,000 filkins and 1,000 worth of gold.
Looking at the people coming and going, and listening to the hawkers' shouts, Lumian's thoughts gradually drifted.
"Report" last night's events to Mr. K, and with the consent of the "Aurora Society" oracle, he will leave Trier and head to the kingdom of Fenerport.
And before the official departure, he still has three things to do:
One is to find Lugano, who is unemployed again. Toscano, asking him if he would like to follow him to Santa Harbor in the Kingdom of Fenerport - this extraordinary person who has become the "Doctor" of Sequence 8 has often ventured to the Kingdom of Fenerport before, and can speak fluent Plateau Language, while Lumian can only speak Tis and Gufsak, and will be in a dilemma of relying on body language to communicate when rushing to his destination;
the second is to wait for Jana and Anthony's big Arcana card to arrange their tasks, to see if they can act together and help each other;
The third is to use the messenger-related spirit-like creature information that came with the "Reaper" potion recipe given by the "magician" lady, and try to have a messenger, so that it will be more convenient to contact Franka and them in the future, and in addition, he will also perform a ritual to increase one or two contract abilities.
Boulevard district, 19 Scheer Street, the bottom of that off-white luxury house.
Lumian met Mr. K again in the basement.
The oracle, whose face was obscured by the shadow of his hood, sat in a red chair and looked at Lumian with a deep gaze.
"Last night I went to Trier in the Quaternary." Lumian gets straight to the point, trying to draw Mr. K's attention to the matter.
Mr. K's hooded head nodded, "I know, you tell me the whole story."
You know? Lumi was stunned and grabbed Bouvare from his revenge. Ponpero started and talked about how he and Franka and the others defeated Gardner in the Mirror and used that special mirror world to escape from the Quaternary Trier.
In the whole thing, he only talks about what happened to him, and does not talk about Jana's experience and the speculation he made based on it, for example, he does not mention the lucky coin and Jana's prayer to Mr. "Fool", only that he somehow entered the world in the painting.
Again, he didn't go into many details.
Mr. K listened intently and did not interrupt Lumian's statement.
It wasn't until Lumian proposed that the "Iron Cross" market branch had been cleared, and that he had revealed his identity and could no longer hide, and wanted to leave Trier for a while and go to Fenerport to track down the enemy, that Mr. K stood up and said in a hoarse voice, "No problem."
"You can always ask for my help."
After speaking, without waiting for Lumian to respond, the divine envoy of the "Aurora Society" turned his body, suddenly knelt down, and prostrate on the ground.
Mr. K's face was pressed against the floor tiles, and he muttered to himself, not knowing what he was doing.
Lumian waited quietly, not interrupting Mr. K, only to feel that the shadows around him had become deeper, and it seemed as if one eye after another was looking at him, making his hairs stand on end and his spine chilled.
However, he was not nervous, and the people of the "Aurora Society" suddenly went crazy and did some strange things, which he thought was normal.
I don't know how long later, in the indescribable solidification, Mr. K coughed violently, and there seemed to be a little blood splashing on the ground.
He then raised his head and said in a deep voice that was implicitly mad, "Merciful Father, please forgive me for my sins."
After saying it three times in a row, Mr. K's face repressed to the ground and made a sound that appeared to be chewing and swallowing.
After doing all this, he stood up and tapped four times on his chest, up and down, left and right.
"What happened, why repent?" Only then did Lumian speak curiously.
Mr. K said in a hoarse voice: "Last night's disaster, our 'Aurora Society' failed to respond in time and did not cooperate with you to destroy the ceremony, which is my dereliction of duty."
"It's not your responsibility." The corners of Lumien's mouth twitched in response.
This is mainly due to the actions taken by the "Tarot Society" that led to the "hostel" plan being advanced, and it is good that the "Aurora Society" can quickly figure out what happened, and there is no need to repent of this and take the mistake on themselves.
Mr. K shook his head: "No matter what the reason, if you don't do it well, you are guilty."
Do you want to be so responsible....... You are only a secret organization, and you are not fanatical followers of the Eternal Sun........ Lumian grunted silently.
As if sensing his thoughts, Mr. K opened his arms and said with unusual fervor, "Because our Aurora Society is born to bear all the sins."
I think you're too extreme....... Lumien managed to control his expression.
