A feast
Seeing the ashes of Paper Burning floating in front of his eyes, Lumian once again thought of the sense of oppression that Mr. K brought to him:
"It turns out that the core of 'Shepherd' is 'herding'. By grazing the souls and characteristics of other Beyonder or extraordinary creatures, you can use their abilities...
"In this way, the senior 'Shepherd' must have no shortcomings. Whether it is close combat, long-range attacks, or various Mysticism methods, they are all good...
"Actually, 'Contracted One' is a bit like a reduced and simplified version of 'Shepherd'. Each Contract can only correspond to one ability. When Sequence is low, there is a big limit on the number of Contract signed. From Mouthpart Monster looks at it, the high probability is no more than three, and the ideal is five. Once you don't choose the ability, you may not even be able to beat the gun-wielding Ordinary Person. This is not like 'Shepherd'. By grazing a Beyonder, you can have many of his abilities, and there is no chance of them being wasted...
"Of course, at the level of Parish Priest, there are as many as ten or twenty Contracts signed, which is a different experience. Moreover, the targets of Contract are often Spirit World Creature. Their abilities are various and very strange, which will make Beyonders who encounter them for the first time very uncomfortable..."
Lumian The more I think about it, the more Mr. K feels horrible.
After suppressing all his thoughts, he stood up and sighed secretly:
No wonder "Magician" Lady thinks Mr. K can fight against Suzanne Matisse who became Evil Spirit...
After leaving the room, Lumian walked up to Louis and Sakota and said calmly, "Let the kitchen prepare dinner."
"Boss, what do you want to eat?" Louis asked before Sakota could.
Lumian had no impression of Café's menu attached to Breeze Ballroom. He thought for a moment and said, "Let's get a set meal and you can eat together."
"Okay." Louis motioned Sakota to inform Café's Waiter.
Lumian sat at Baron Brignais's favorite table and picked up today's newspaper.
The top one is "Trier", followed by "Reformist", "People’s Voice", "Action", "Intis Daily", "People’s Friend" and other major newspapers.
Lumian couldn't help but turn his head and asked Louis in a funny way:
"Brignais Do you usually see this kind of thing?"
He is also a Gang leader who cares about national affairs?
Louis looked at Sakota on the other side and replied with a smile, "He doesn't read these things. He just told us that we can't offend those reporters and newspapers. We can subscribe to influential newspapers if we can. From time to time, we will spend money to place an advertisement for Breeze Ballroom in turn, saying that there are a lot of hot dancers here."
"He usually reads the three newspapers and magazines at the bottom."
Don't offend newspapers and reporters... Also, if the "Trier Newspaper" publishes a news about a large-scale Gang in Market District, then Savoie Gang will be finished the next day, and those gentlemen still have to face... Lumian has learned a little more knowledge.
He then pulled out the newspapers and magazines at the bottom.
They are: "Novel Weekly", "The Aesthetics of Men" and "Grimace" magazine which publishes Trier's various scandals, rumors and latest jokes.
Isn't this more interesting than "Reformist" or "Action"? Lumian picked up "Novel Weekly" and started reading the latest serial.
He asked casually, "Which account did the money for these newspapers and advertising fees come from?"
Louis thought for a moment, and even though cold sweat broke out on his forehead, he still couldn't think of an answer. At this time, Sakota said, "Deduct it from the 100,000 Felkine that you have established a good relationship with the police officers."
Lumian nodded with satisfaction.
As long as it does not affect the income of his new leader Savoie Gang!
Not long after, Café Waiter served portions of food:
Onion and Minced Meat Pigeon, Smoked Zodiac Crab, Hot Bamboo Partridge Pie, Stewed Sheep Brain, Stewed Veal Slices, Roasted Oysters with Herbs, two kinds of salad, Scarlet Cheese, Roasted Almond Paste, paired with a cup of red, white and blue Three-Color Liqueur and a bottle of Chixia Wine.
Various fragrances were mixed together and penetrated Lumian's nose, causing his saliva to secrete more vigorously.
"As expected of Trier, an ordinary Café set meal has so many dishes, but at Loen, it only has fried Steak, peas and tender lamb stewed What are the options..." As a pure Intis person, Lumian mocked Loen's delicious food based on the impression he got from various newspapers, magazines and folk jokes.
He picked up the cup of Three-Color Liqueur, took a sip, pointed to the chairs on both sides of the table and said, "Let's eat together."
"Boss After you eat, we will take turns eating." Louis bent down slightly and said with a smile.
Lumian enjoyed the first big meal after Trier without any persuasion, and it was free.
I have to say that the level of Breeze Ballroom and Cook is quite good, which made him nod his head frequently.
Among them, he is most satisfied with the portion of Stewed Sheep Brain. With the use of several spices, the fishy and mutton smell of the sheep brain are cleverly resolved, leaving only the texture as delicate as Roselle tofu and the rich and attractive aroma.
He drank the red, white and blue cup of Liqueur and a third of the bottle of Chixia Wine, and then signaled that Louis and Sakota could take turns to eat.
He himself picked up the magazines "Novel Weekly" and "Grimace".
In "Grimace" magazine, Lumian saw a familiar name:
Divar.
That was Restaurant Boss who invented Divar Soup. Later he got money, made a fortune, and moved to Opera District.
"Grimace" magazine published an anecdote that happened recently:
Divar is crazy obsessed with Stage Actor from Loen cum Trier Courtesan Perle spent a lot of money on her, and at the banquet held in Perle's private residence, Perle, in front of more than a dozen guests, lay naked on a huge silver plate, which was served by servants.
This broke Divar's heart and he tried to commit suicide but failed.
Seeing this doubtful news, Lumian didn't know whether to lament that Trier people are really good at playing, or to laugh at Loenian for not being so conservative at all, and Intis will soon be assimilated, or to ridicule Divar, a Trier person who is in his forties, for being so innocent.
Sometimes, when seeing these incredible news, Lumian can't help but suspect that Beyonder Acting's needs are involved, or that Evil God believers cannot control themselves.
Of course, if Trier people didn't have similar tendencies, there would be no problem with many things, and those guys would have been found out long ago.
After Louis and Sakota had finished their dinner, Lumian led them down to the first floor.
Dance Hall was quite lively at night. Jenna stood on the half-height Wooden Stage, singing a song with a brisk melody to the accompaniment of the band. People below were men and women embracing each other and dancing in circles.
Lumian looked away and walked towards the door.
"Boss, where are we going?" Louis asked.
Lumian laughed:
"Are you Boss, or am I Boss? Do I need to report to you where I am going?"
Louis's expression suddenly froze on his face. He looked at the silent Sakota and suddenly felt that that was not bad.
"I, I just care about what to do next." He explained forcefully.
Lumian walked out Dance Hall amidst the greetings from the gatekeeper Thug, and said with a smile, "I will tell you when I need you to know."
He walked all the way back to Golden Rooster Inn, but instead of going directly to Room 207 to get Mr. K's finger and the Revolver, he transferred to Underground Bar.
Lumian Before Future had time to look around the situation here, he heard Charlie's enthusiastic voice:
"Did you know? Charles now has a nickname, 'Lion' Charles!
"That's from 'Little Slut'Jenna. Have you ever seen her? I bet you have never seen such a beautiful woman in your life. She has a hot body and a beautiful face. Everyone who listens to her singing wants to change for her. own beliefs, and such a woman fell in love with Charles, took the initiative to invite him to dance, stuck with him, and twisted around! Oh, the lights at the Dance Hall are very dim, you can imagine what happened to them..."
"..." Lumian suddenly felt like he had become the leading actor in a news article in "Grimace" magazine.
Behind him, Louis and Sakota were embarrassed and a little worried for Boss.
They were embarrassed that the guy giving a speech on the small round table was probably bragging for Boss. What they were worried about was that if it was true, wouldn't Boss be equivalent to "" Red Boots"Franca is wearing a green hat? In that case, there will be big trouble. Franca is not only very strong, but also the mistress of Boss!
Charlie, who was holding a beer, saw Lumian, and his smile instantly solidified.
He jumped off the small round table, came to Lumian, coughed and said, "Hi, Charles, do you mind if I tell you about your affair?"
"How did you know?" Lumian asked without answering.
Charlie smiled and said, "Many people outside know that it was spread from Mill Ballroom."
In other words, people at Stinger Gang knew that I danced twice with Jenna before assassinating "Hammer" Ait? Yes, I just pretended to be a simple person at that time., I didn't even change my hair color, and Provocation the people around me. In retrospect, combined with the death of "Hammer"Ait, they would definitely recognize me...Jenna 0 As the mistress of "Red Boots", should be suspected by them, and may become the target of revenge later... But there is no need to worry too much about her, she has "Red Boots" to provide protection, Franca, as the experienced Beyonder and the powerful Witch, would not be careless in this kind of thing... Lumian nodded with understanding.
He smiled and said to Charlie, "You can just say it."
The more widely this incident spreads, the more attention it will attract to "Red Boots", making her take no chances in Stinger Gang's possible revenge.
Lumian asked Charlie:
"Why didn't you go to Breeze Ballroom?"
Charlie said with a smile, "The manager named René asked me to officially go to work tomorrow and give me 80 Felkine every month."
While the two were chatting, Lumian saw his next door neighbor sitting at the bar:
That One Down and out Playwright Gabriel.
He still has messy and greasy brown hair, wearing larger Black-Rimmed Glasses, white Linen Shirt and black suspenders.
"What's wrong?" Lumian said goodbye to Charlie and left Past asked.
Gabriel, who was drinking a light green Absinthe, glanced sideways at him and said with a bitter smile, "My script was sent back again, and the managers didn't read it at all!
"I have invested in dozens of Theater, but no one wants to look at it."
Dozens of Theater...Lumian's heart moved, and he asked casually, "Have you submitted the script to our Market District Old Dovecage Theater?"
"Yes." Gabriel sighed, "Their manager also rejected me, saying that they Theater wrote all their scripts themselves, or asked someone to customize them."
Lumian sat down and asked, "Who is their manager?"
