Chapter 15 Ironclad Merchant Ships

It also has the power of words and spirits...... When the madness did not occur, he was in a state of confusion and instinctive action, with a pale expression and blank eyes...... Much like Pierre's description of the original infected....... Lumian read the letter from Franca and gained a better grasp of the details of the disaster.

His previous speculations, which he had relied on on the contradictions of Pierre's answers, performances and actions, were very close to the truth.

The only difference is that he guessed that the original infected were real insane, acting on instinct, while the official intelligence showed that it was a humanoid seal, but it did rely on instinct, and there was no spiritual wisdom either in the normal state or when the madness broke out.

Of course, Lumian's speculation and reality are not necessarily contradictory, perhaps because the young woman has been polluted or out of control, and has become a real madman who instinctively spreads madness, so she needs to be sealed.

As for why it is a seal, rather than a direct removal, Lumian can probably guess the reason: the ability to say that whoever dies will die, even with all kinds of restrictions, is still covetous, whether it is the Inquisition, the "Mechanical Heart", or the eighth game, under the premise that there is a way to seal such a dangerous creature, it will definitely give priority to sealing, and in the future, maybe she can be relied on to solve other disasters.

Lumian's gaze shifted downward, and he read the contents of the back of the letter: "Other information, the one who is limited by the principle of secrecy cannot provide. :

"You probably pay attention to the young woman with that kind of image, and as soon as you find out, immediately distance yourself and report it to the authorities."

There is no detailed information on the origin, sealing method, actual performance of speech and spiritual ability, how madness is treated and removed, etc., and there is no specific seal level and number...... Judging from the anomaly of Dadel Town and the description in the previous section, even if it is not a "Level 1" seal, it should belong to the very special and terrifying kind of "Level 2" ....... Lumian pondered for a while, and backhanded the letter into the "Traveler's Bag", but did not burn it on the spot.

At this time, Lugano was looking behind him in disbelief.

After turning on the "Spiritual Vision", he still didn't find anything.

Lumian's messenger, Bayinfer, the "Confessor", has long since left.

"Let's go." Lumien sighed, stretched out his hands, and grabbed Ludwig and Lugano by the shoulders, respectively.

The most regrettable thing for him now is that at least a third of the 400 Felkin fares will be wasted.

And later, I'll have to find a few cafes for Ludwig to have breakfast - if you can't eat enough at one, you'll find something unusual.

In the next second, Lugano felt that he had just walked into the spiritual realm he had just seen, changed the role of a bystander, went deep into those layered and rich color blocks, and truly bathed in the seven clear and brilliant lights of different colors in the absolute heights, and under the gaze of indescribable faces and indescribable figures, he "galloped" towards the unknown destination.

He felt dizzy, but it only took more than ten seconds for him to step on the ground, and buildings with beige, brown, red, and light yellow colors appeared around him.

Lumian didn't "teleport" too far, and chose the city of Forth to which Dadel Town belongs.

In the light of the morning light, Lumian put on the "Lies" ear clip, took a tweed coat from the "traveler's bag", and changed his appearance and height on the spot in a secluded alley where no one was around.

In less than a minute, he was a different person.

Although it was not the first time he had witnessed it, Lugano was still slightly shocked by this scene: what a magical object, what a powerful ability!1

Whether it was the silver-white ear clip that allowed people to adjust their height and face at will within a certain range, or the coin purse that could pull out all kinds of items as if there was no limit, he had never seen it before, and only occasionally heard other bounty hunters mention that some official extraordinaries had transcendent level transfiguration.

Lumien threw the "lie" ear clip to Lugano and said to him without a hint: "You go and get three more sets of false identities to buy a ticket for the steam train to Port Gatti today."

Am I a translator, a guide, or your retinue and attendant? Lugano snorted as he caught the miraculous silver-white ear clip.

He squeezed out a smile and said, "I haven't been to the Foss area, so I don't know who to ask for a fake identity."

"The truth is universal, and I trust your experience." Lumian smiled in response.

Well, for your sake....Lugano muttered silently and took out a change of clothes from his suitcase.

When he falsified his identity at the northern train station in Trier, Lumian had already given him a fee of 1,000 Felkin and told him that he would be responsible for similar expenses in the future.

When the little boy Ludwig put on the "lie" ear clip, Lugano walked out of the alley with his suitcase.

Lumian immediately turned on the "Face of Nisser", changed his image again, and led Ludwig, who was still adjusting his height and appearance, to follow Lugano from afar.

He wanted to see what the "doctor" would do and behave in a strange place, so as to judge what problems were hidden behind him.

In order to prevent Ludwig from protesting, Lumian pressed the wide-brimmed hat on his head and threw the guy a few loaves of bread.

Ludwig didn't shout for a good hot meal, but very obediently nibbled on the food, allowing Lumien to follow Lugano with him.

It was early in the morning, the bars were closed, and Lugano went straight to the nearest market, found the "patrolman" who was suspected of being a member of the gang, opened the way with money, and knew who to turn to for a fake identity.

Throughout, he behaved like a normal bounty hunter.

Unfazed or displeased by this, Lumien calmly followed Lugano to the purchase of another steam train, before he lifted the "Face of Nesser" and joined his companion.

Hauts-Maritime, Port Gatti, near the seaside in a luxury hotel room.

Standing in front of the large glass window, Lumien saw the blue sky as if it had been washed by water, and the clear and pure jewel-like sea below.

The clear and high-pitched calls of seabirds and the white clouds, white sand and the masts of ships weave through them, allowing Lumian to feel the cool breeze from the sea even when the windows are not open.

It is one of the main ports where the products of those industrial cities on the west coast of the sea enter the misty sea, and it is famous for its trade and shipbuilding, which is quite prosperous.

Unlike the citizens of Trier, who think that there is little sunshine in the north, the port of Gatti is sunny all year round, and autumn is not too cold, and Ludwig's chewing sound, while enjoying the sea view outside the window and the port in the distance, while waiting for Lugano to buy back the ticket to Santa Port in the kingdom of Fenerport.

At this moment, the unusually tall "penitent" Bayinfer, dressed in a black clergyman's robe, walked out of the void again and silently handed a letter to Lumian.

"Thank you." Lumian habitually spoke.

Then, he took the letter and unfolded it: "The madness of Dadel has been controlled, the severely infected townspeople have been cleared, and the slightly infected ones have been treated, but the seal has not been found."

According to the information gathered at the scene, she returned to her normal state several days ago and left the town of Daddell, where she disappeared, and the subsequent spread of madness was based on the self-spreading of the heavily polluted sea of mind.

"The townsfolk are reluctant to leave Dadel, and they don't forget that the anomaly of telling passers-by about their madness should also come from the polluted ocean of minds, well, according to Anthony's newly learned proper noun, the collective subconscious ocean, which together with the island of personal consciousness and the spiritual sky make up the spiritual world.

The ocean, which together with the island of personal consciousness and the spiritual sky, forms the spiritual world.

"Be careful in the future, I'm afraid you'll be attracted by the occult catastrophe created by the seal again."

I didn't catch the seal....... Lumian sighed with a slight headache.

To be honest, there was nothing he could do about it, and by the time he arrived at Del Town, the other party had already left, and the disaster was still going on and developing.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Lumien took Lugano and Ludwig aboard the merchant ship "Asuka" bound for Santa Harbor in the Kingdom of Fenerport.

They opted for a first-class cabin, which was a suite, with a master bedroom, a children's room, a servant's room, a living room, a lavatory, access to the most exclusive dining room and a cigar room, worth 700 Filkin, close to Charlie's annual income as a hotel waiter.

Lumian cares about money both and less, because of his past experience and his sister's teachings, which makes him instinctively calculate and feel distressed, and because his money is relatively "easy", for example, sneaking back to the Breeze Ballroom at night, he took 30,000 Filkins from the safe in one go, and now he spends only a small part of it.

Moreover, he already has the potion recipe, main materials, and some auxiliary materials for the next sequence, so he has no motivation to accumulate money for the time being.

Besides, as a loyal reader of the "Great Adventurer" series, he knows very well that there are a lot of moving humanoid treasures on the sea, and he is really short of money, and he is happy to imitate his idol to harvest it once.

The Asuka was a newer steam-powered ship, made entirely of steel, no longer with sails, but only misty chimneys and masts to provide watchtowers.

It was iron-gray in color, painted red and gold in parts, with a wide deck and numerous gun emplacements, far superior to classical sail warships in terms of displacement, number of passengers, speed and sturdiness, and compared to those of those who were behind the times, it was like an adult looking down on a child.

Before the accident in the village of Cordu, Lumien also thought about traveling to the sea, like the great adventurer Gelman. Sparrow, and used it to bewitch his sister, but Aurore advanced the matter until he graduated from college.

In the spacious and bright living room of the first-class cabin, Lumian looked out the window at the blue ocean, and his thoughts flew somewhere.

Woo!

At the sound of the whistle, the chimneys of the "Bird" spewed out mist.

The massive ironclad merchant ship slowly sailed away from the port of Gatti and headed for the depths of the sea as the machinery began to move.

Cooing, the calls of seabirds echo through the clouds.
