Chapter 545 Abnormal Situation
Solved? Already solved? Georgia deeply suspected that the translator had made a mistake in the key words, and instinctively asked:
“Will it be resolved soon, or has it already been resolved?”
Lugano looked at the beautiful lady with sympathy, just as he looked at himself when he had just read in the newspaper that his employer had hunted down the "devil wizard."
How can a monster that can be driven into a basement and locked up by a few ordinary bodyguards with guns compare with Bulman, whose bounty is 60 Felgins?
Although he felt it was unnecessary, Lugano still relayed Georgia's words to Lumian with professional ethics.
Lumian took off the golden straw hat on his head and said:
"You can have the servants clean that basement."
After listening to Lugano's translation, Giorgia's pupils dilated slightly. She looked at Lumian in doubt, not knowing what to say.
Just then, a bodyguard guarding outside the basement ran up.
When he saw Georgia, he immediately came over, lowered his voice, and said a lot of gibberish.
Georgia's expression changed several times before she smiled and said to Lumian:
"As expected of a famous adventurer, I used to suspect that your hunting of the 'devil wizard' was just a rumor, but now I completely believe it. You are powerful enough to make your reputation resound across the five seas."
She paused and said apologetically:
"I'm sorry, we haven't had time to prepare dinner yet. You may need to wait in the small living room for a while."
"It's better to make me wait than to make the beautiful lady wait." Lumian replied with a smile.
This is polite!
He then followed Georgia's maid into the small living room specially provided for Ludwig to enjoy appetizers.
Georgia went to the basement with the bodyguard.
After seeing the blood and flesh scattered all over the room and confirming that the humanoid lizard had completely disappeared, Georgia was visibly relieved.
The dinner was held in a private room, with only Lumian and his two companions and Georgia present, and the rest being the maids who were responsible for serving the food and pouring the wine.
Lumian observed the environment with great interest and found that this large family with a large population had taken into account the needs of some members to invite guests to their home individually. In addition to the large banquet hall, there were also small private rooms to ensure the privacy of the banquet.
Everyone enjoyed the dinner very much - Lumian received liso notes; Giorgia was obviously relieved and no longer worried; Ludwig was very impressed with the chefs in the villa; and it was the first time for Lugano to accept such a high-end banquet.
The great adventurer who loves to brag and joke has changed his cold and ruthless attitude when hunting monsters and made the atmosphere at the table very lively.
This kind of relaxation and fun continued until Lumian took Ludwig and Lugano away from the villa at 21 San Lana Street.
After drinking some white wine, Lugano, with a rosy face, looked back at the brightly lit buildings and said with deep emotion:
"I don't know when I will have such a big house, so many servants and cooks, and a wife like Georgia."
“Your focus is on that last sentence, right?” Lumian teased.
Lugano smiled shyly and said:
"Based on your description, I should be able to kill that humanoid lizard as well."
This means that he is able to take on a mission that pays 3 Felgin!
If he completes a few more similar commissions, his dream might come true!
"If you prepare guns and special bullets in advance and have enough combat experience, the 'Tiller' will indeed work." Lumian carefully helped his guide to evaluate.
He did not use "doctor" to refer to Lugano because this sequence mainly gains extraordinary abilities in healing, without much improvement in combat.
Lugano was delighted when he heard this and felt that life was full of hope.
Lumian glanced at him and added with a smile:
“But if you were to take this commission, the reward might only be two or three thousand gold rizos.
"What remains is the premium for the reputation of a great adventurer and the hush money paid to such a famous figure.
"So, you have to hunt down the 'Devil Wizard' first before you can receive this kind of lucrative mission."
The smile on Lugano's face gradually disappeared.
If I could hunt down the "Devil Wizard", I would have realized my dream and wouldn't have to be an adventurer anymore!
Lumian ignored the translator's mood changes, looked back at the five-story villa, and said thoughtfully:
"The 'grandmother' of this family has never appeared..."
It is understandable that other members did not show up, but according to common sense, as the head of the family, the "grandmother" should at least come to thank the adventurer who helped them solve the problem.
"Yes, it's not right for a lady of Giorgia's age to be the head of such a large family." Lugano also noticed the problem.
He did not say that there might not be an "old grandmother" in this villa. First, in such a large family, there must be more than one elderly woman who had given birth. When one "old grandmother" died, a new "old grandmother" would soon appear. Second, the "Mother Earth" Church was well-known in the southern and northern continents for its expertise in treating diseases. The average life expectancy in the Kingdom of Feynaport was higher than that in Loen, Intis, and Feysac. There were many men and women who lived to be over seventy years old. Given the wealth of the Georgia family, there would definitely be no shortage of medical resources.
Lumian retracted his gaze, took a few steps and said:
"Go to the bar tonight and ask about Georgia's family situation."
As he spoke, he counted out 1000 lires to Lugano:
"This is your activity fund for this period, including Ludwig's meal expenses while I'm away."
“Yes, boss.” What Lugano admired most about his employer was his generosity.
Near the early hours of the morning, the "doctor" returned to the suite at the Solo Hotel smelling of alcohol and said to Lumian, who was watching Ludwig eating a midnight snack:
"I did ask. Giorgia is the wife of Rubio Paco, a shareholder of Santa Porto Fishery Company and a member of the Fishery Union. The 'grandmother' of the Paco family is Rubio's mother, Marta."
Fishery Guild Committee Member...Lumian instantly focused his attention.
This person knows the complete process of the sea prayer ceremony and the accident that happened last year.
“What else did you find out?” Lumian asked casually.
After Lugano rambled on for a while, he said:
"By the way, Marta used to be the 'Maid of the Sea'."
"Maid of the Sea"... had been a "Maid of the Sea", was sought after by a certain group of people, and married into the Paco family? Lumian thought for a few seconds and said:
"Have you asked about Marta's recent situation?"
"No." Lugano shook his head.
Lumian leaned back in his chair and didn't ask any more questions, seeming to be falling asleep.
The next day, he stayed in the Solo Hotel again and did not go out, waiting for Valerio to get his local identification.
Towards evening, his messenger, Bayinfer the Confessor, emerged from the void and handed him a letter.
Lumian looked at the charred corpse with sticky black flames burning in many parts of its body and asked casually:
"Who sent it?"
There are only five people who know his messenger summoning spell.
"A woman who is very close to death and darkness." Bayinfer replied.
Lumian unfolded the letter and saw familiar handwriting:
"There will be a party at ten o'clock tonight..."
This came from "Hela". Lumian obtained the messenger. Before leaving Trier, he specifically summoned the messenger of "Hela" and told the other party how to summon his messenger. After all, he would be on the road for a period of time and would often change his place of residence. It was impossible for him to summon the messenger of "Hela" every time he stayed in a hotel to facilitate its subsequent positioning and delivery of letters.
——Everyone’s messenger is highly bound to himself. Based on the mystical connection brought by the contract, the messenger can directly locate the location of the contract object no matter how he changes his position.
The research group is having another meeting... After Lumian asked Bayinfer to leave, he walked to the window of the master bedroom of the suite.
He cast his gaze into the distance, towards the mottled mountains in the northeast.
In the afterglow of the setting sun, the mountains there seemed to be sleeping in the burning sky.
Lumian stared at it quietly for a while, then took out the silver-white "Lie" ear clip and put it on the lobe of his left ear.
His hair quickly turned blond and continued to extend downwards.
…………
At 10 o'clock in the evening, in the huge ancient and dilapidated palace of the Kingdom of Night.
Lumian, wearing a black robe, a hood, a silver-white half-face mask and a "Muggle" label, appeared here.
He immediately saw Franka wearing an assassin's suit with her hood pulled up.
Franca also noticed him and no longer concealed their good relationship. She came closer and said in a low voice:
"There's no outbreak of madness in Santa Port, is there?"
“I’m not disaster incarnate,” Lumian responded.
He then said to Franca:
"Please ask different groups for me if there are any potions, spells, or items that can help me master a language in a short period of time. I don't need to truly master it, but I can just master it for a period of time."
"Don't you have a translator?" Franca asked in confusion.
Lumian smiled and said:
"I just suddenly had an inspiration. When everyone thought I couldn't speak the plateau language, I could understand what they were communicating, which might bring unexpected benefits."
"You guys have such dirty hearts when it comes to plotting against us!" After Franca cursed with a smile, she wanted to compliment Auror on her pretty lips and said that she looked especially beautiful when she smiled, and that she should smile more often. However, her reason made her give up the idea, so as not to irritate Lumian.
She looked at a corner of the palace and said:
"The group most likely to obtain similar items is actually the 'Academy', but it's inconvenient for you to ask, as it will easily make you suspected.
"It just so happens that I'm going to go to the 'Academy' group today to ask if anyone knows who the owners of those ancient tombs in the Trier catacombs are. Haha, many of them are semi-historians. If no one knows, I'll let '007' look through the church's confidential information."
“Why do you ask?” Lumian raised an eyebrow.
Franka recounted the key points of how she and Janna had recently obtained a "fragment of the mirror world" in the catacombs.
Lumian listened carefully and sneered:
"Aren't you too bold?
"Jenna has been given courage by you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw "007" walking towards him aggressively.
