Chapter 65: Top Collaborators
After making his choice, Lumian had the opportunity to ask, "Who is the suspect?"
"Rato. Giaro. "Knight of the Sword" gave a name.
Lumien knew this man, he was also a member of the Fisheries Guild, not only owned three large fishing boats and a stake in the Santa Port Fishing Company, but also ventured into shipbuilding and ice-making, and the family had married the "Handmaidens of the Sea" hundreds of years ago.
Lumian asked thoughtfully, "Latto. What is the relationship between Giaro and Balansatt Boat Charter?"
"He was a creditor of that company and arranged for a lot of family members to go in." "Knight of the Sword," replied simply.
"No wonder." Lumian nodded lightly and thought for a moment, "How about we meet at the intersection of St. Lana Street and Golden Wheat Ears Street, three minutes later?"
He hadn't been to Lato. The place where Giaro's big family lived, without knowing the corresponding spiritual coordinates, could only "teleport" to Santa Lana Street, which was closer to the target - he directly used the "spiritual shuttle" to leave, not wanting to alarm the monitors in the shadows.
"Yes." The figure of the "Sword Knight" instantly faded into transparency and lost its trace.
It took Lumian two minutes to drink water, put on his waistcoat, and put on a straw hat before the black mark on his right shoulder lit up.
His figure then disappeared into the room where the curtains had been drawn.
At the intersection of St. Lana Street and Golden Wheat Ear Street, Lumian stepped out of a dark corner and saw the "Sword Knight" with messy brown hair, a linen shirt and a dark brown waistcoat, standing on the edge of the crimson moonlight, his face pale and his eyes depressed, as if he was ready to tear off his human skin and turn into a monster, bursting out with all kinds of desires accumulated in his heart.
Others may not have such a clear perception, but Lumian is an "ascetic" trait who endures and suppresses emotions and desires, and has a natural acuity for similar situations.
.........Seeing the appearance of the "Sword Knight", a ridiculous and ridiculous thought came to Lumien's mind: Brother, do you want to believe in fate? If you become a "dervishes" or an "ascetic," you don't have to endure so much hardship!
Of course, this suggestion, Lumian just thought about it casually, and definitely wouldn't put it forward - if there are not enough opportunities, the gift of the evil god will only make the extraordinary person of the potion system gradually alienated, irretrievably become a humanoid monster, and change step by step to the corresponding evil god, but his thoughts just now also show that some sequences of the gift system and some sequences of the potions system can complement each other, producing the effect of one plus one greater than two.
"Let's go." Seeing that the "Sword Knight" was just looking at himself and not saying a word, Lumian had no choice but to take the initiative to speak.
The "Knight of the Sword" nodded, and along the shadows of the street, he turned into Golden Wheat Ears Street and headed north.
Not long after, the two arrived at the five-story building of the Giaro family, which looked like a small castle.
Looking at the windows and the gray-blue façade, the "Knight of the Sword" pointed to one of the glasses and said, "That's Lato's bedroom, and he and his wife sleep in separate rooms."
The intelligence collected is very detailed and accurate........ Lumian nodded slightly, "What is your plan of action?"
"Dive right in and control the target." The "Knight of the Sword" gave his answer in a very brief way.
Wouldn't that be too simplistic? The Giaro family should not only employ extraordinary people, but there must also be a few members who have obtained the power brought by the sea prayer ceremony....... Lumian thought of the special nature of the "resentful spirit", assessed his own ability, put one hand in his pocket, and replied leisurely: "Okay."
As soon as he finished speaking, his body had already degenerated into a shadow, melting into the darkness.
The "Sword Knight" next to him had long since disappeared.
With the help of multiple shadows on the building's façade, Lumian quickly infiltrated Lato. Guiaro's room.
The next second, he saw his target: it was a middle-aged man, with slightly curly black hair and dark brown eyes, he was wearing a dark blue cotton nightgown, his face was long, and his beard was thick, but it was neatly trimmed.
At this point, Lato. Guiaro's expression was terrified, his body stiffened, and he staggered towards the shadow that held Lumian.
Lumian saw a figure in each of the two eyes of the member of the Fishermen's Guild, both of them were "Sword Knights" wearing dark brown waistcoats and linen shirts, with pale faces and messy brown hair!
See Lato. Giaro was in a state where his body was uncontrollable and he couldn't even open his mouth to shout, and Lumian walked out of the shadows directly and changed back to his original appearance.
He suddenly felt that the air around him had become heavy, as heavy as seawater.
Other than that, nothing else is out of the ordinary.
Lumian slammed his feet and walked like a swamp to Lato. In front of Giaro.
He didn't directly use the "Hum Ha Technique", this is because the other party seems to lack the power to resist, and it can be controlled by other methods, there is no need to waste spirituality, and the second is that he is not sure that the "Sword Knight" forcibly possessed Lato. In Giaro's case, will the "Hum Ha Technique" stun the two of them together.
Lumian took out the bottle of the potion from the "Blessing Society", unscrewed the cap, and reached Lato. The tip of the nose of Giaro.
He fanned the wind with his hand, speeding up the flow of gas, and after about ten seconds, the member of the Fisheries Guild closed his eyes and fell unconscious.
He was still standing, and he did not fall to the ground.
Now in full control of his body is the Tarot Society's little Arcana card, "Knight of the Sword".
It's easier than me using "teleportation" and "humming....... I've dealt with so many extraordinary people before, and this is the only one I didn't need to use my hands, walked up to him slowly, smelled the drug, and solved it smoothly...... "resentful soul" is really the top collaborator, and it can be matched with any path and any sequence...... Well, the "Wraith" is immune to anesthetic gas, and the bottle of the "Blessed Society" has no effect on him...... Seeing that this did not bring any obvious movement, Lumien suddenly felt that he had not participated in the battle at all.
He put the "Blessed" potion back in the dark bag, took out the bottle of truth spitting, and hurried to give it to Lato. Giaro poured nearly a third of the drug - he felt the effects of the drug in Lato. Extraordinary beings like Giaro whose qualities are unknown should not last long, so hurry up and feed the potion to try to complete the preparations before the target wakes up.
That's twenty or thirty seconds, Lato. Giaro opened his eyes.
He first saw Louis, a great adventurer in a golden straw hat. Berry and the other had a vague smile on their faces, and then found themselves sitting in their chairs at some point, facing the couch in the bedroom.
Lato opened his mouth and was about to shout, but he felt that his vocal cords were not under his control, and he didn't move.
"Do you recognize your situation?" Lumien leaned back on the couch and rested his right foot on his left knee.
He speaks Intius.
Rato was so frightened that he couldn't even nod his head to answer the other person.
He could use certain abilities, but he was sure that they couldn't deal with the adventurer Louie. Berry, only in exchange for a new coma or thunder strike.
"What do you want to do?" Suddenly, Rato made a sound.
He also speaks Intij.
With that, he looked surprised and tried to raise his hand and touch his neck, but he couldn't do anything.
Latto. Giaro was finally quiet.
Lumian smiled and said, "Ask you some questions, and if you answer them well, I don't mind letting you live until tomorrow and help me get the word out."
Lato was silent for a few seconds and said, "What do you want to know?"
Lumien shook the ankle of his right foot slightly: "Are Nolfi and Butna with you?"
"Yes." "They're locked up in the basement, they're still alive, and I'm just trying to take advantage of them." ”
"What are you doing with them?" Lumian asked with interest.
Lato's lips twitched for a while:
"Use them to let you find the sea area where the sea festival ceremony is held, and guide you to rent a boat to go there."
"So you wrote that note...... "Lumian snapped into his eyes, "how are you going to guide me?"
Lato wanted to find some good words to embellish his behavior, but his mouth was faster than his brain: "Let you investigate Norfi and they want to rent a boat to go to sea, and then arrange for them to find an opportunity to escape from here, tell you something, let you know that the sea is special."
"And then?" Lumien asked curiously.
Lato kept his mouth shut, but eventually opened it up: "What they say is the truth, but they don't know one thing:" Never fight at sea with the 'children of the sea'!"
"Juan. Olo will be waiting for you in that sea and bury you completely!"
It turned out that Norfi's clue was provided by the Fishermen's Guild pretending to be someone with a different mind, in order to dig a trap for me and get rid of me....... If it weren't for my quick inclination to investigate the ritual of praying for the sea, which gave Norfi and Batna a value to be put to use, they might have sunk to the bottom of the sea...... The little fight against Lugano was to paralyze me........ Lumien's thoughts were racing, and he heard Lato say incomprehensibly:
"You didn't even start investigating, how did you find me?"
"You just sent your translator to ask Norfi about their whereabouts, and there was no follow-up... …”
Lumian smiled meaningfully, "You think I'm here to investigate the Sea Prayer Ritual by myself?"
"I represent the will of many people, and there are many of my companions hidden in the shadow of Santa Harbor."
Lato felt the stiffness and coldness of his body and believed the words.
Lumian raised his right hand, rubbed his chin and said, "Where does your strength come from?"
Rato said after a voice in his throat, "From the sea, every prayer ceremony will give us strength."
"It's a pity that last year's prayer ceremony failed, and we didn't get replenishment for two whole years, and everyone became weak, and even had varying degrees of strength decline. Oro would have taken action against you directly, throwing your corpse on the Waves Square, so that all those who want to deal with us can see your fate!"
Similar to gifts? Theoretically, if the power of the boon is not replenished, it will gradually weaken........ Lumian thought for a moment and said, "The sea prayer ceremony is a large ritual to ask for a gift, and the 'Governor of the Sea' is the main sacrifice?"
Lato pondered for a moment and said, "It's both a sacrifice and a main sacrifice, Juan. Oro and we are the assistant sacrifices.
"The ritual of praying for the sea is actually a ritual to marry the sea and let it be satisfied, and the giving of strength is incidental."
"Marrying the sea?" Lumien suddenly felt that his imagination was not rich enough.
