The trader

After carrying Carbide Lamp and following Lumian for a few steps, "Giant" Simon noticed the inconsistency in the other party's words:

"Charles, Boss already knows that you have become 'Pyromaniac', so it is unlikely that they will sacrifice you casually."

Lumian looked ahead at Tunnel, which was illuminated by a yellowish light, without looking back, and asked with a smile:

"How long have I been a member of Savoie Gang?"

"Giant" Simon and "Rat" Christo both suddenly understood and agreed with this explanation.

One of them has some questionable origins and has only recently joined the gang. Beyonder who brought Potion Main Ingredient is indeed not that trustworthy and needs to withstand the test of missions again and again.

And if he died during the mission, it would only be considered bad luck. Losing such an outsider extraordinary person would not be as heartbreaking to the boss as losing a subordinate who had worked so hard to train him.

The two Savoie Gang leaders no longer hesitated, and followed Lumian with the most basic caution, two or three steps behind him, just like when they usually travel, there are always several Gang Thug behind them in similar positions.

During this process, "Giant" Simon put on Gloves, applied a small amount of "Scorpion Venom" to his Dagger, spurs and gloves, and returned the bottle of medicine to Lumian.

The three of them continued down the Tunnel marked on the map. Although their footsteps were very light, due to the special environment, they still echoed quietly in the dark and dead Underground.

For nearly three-quarters of an hour Past, they passed through the area marked Ancient Tombs and arrived at the entrance of the Concealment passage.

This is a Quarry Cavern that has been abandoned for a long time. The ground is uneven and there is some moss growing around it. In the distance, there is the sound of the Underground River rushing and flowing. From diagonally above, there is the sound of Steam Metro passing by.

Lumian made a brief observation, bit the lifting ring of Carbide Lamp, grabbed the protrusions on the side stone wall with both hands, and climbed up to a place near the roof of the cave.

Then, he stretched out his right hand, pressed the junction between the side wall and the cave roof, and pushed a seemingly normal stone to the back.

A dark hole was immediately revealed there, which could allow a tall human like Simon to bend down and crawl through.

This Hidden Tunnel is modified from the Ventilation System that already existed in the nearby Quarry but was damaged long ago.

The three of them bent their backs and walked forward in small steps along the passage toward Underground and then Depths. Gradually, they could no longer hear the flow of the Underground River, nor could they feel the movement of Steam Metro.

Except for their breathing and footsteps, everything was silent, like a dead tomb.

Nearly two quarters of an hour later, Lumian and others followed the markings on the map and jumped from an exit into Cavern, which already existed in Underground.

There were stalactites hanging down from the heights here, as if Depths of Darkness had a terrifying Monster opening its mouth, revealing Teeth.

Lumian did not rush to the other Hidden Tunnel at the bottom of Cavern, but turned sideways and looked at "" whose head was more or less dusty. Giant"Simon and "Rat"Christo said with serious expressions: "Let's confirm some things now to avoid unexpected situations and no time to communicate."

"Okay." Whether it was "Rat" Christo or "Giant" Simon, I felt that it was natural for Lumian to say such words.

Lumian nodded lightly and said, "First, from entering the second line Tunnel to returning here, no one can speak. Try to use body movements to give hints. If it doesn't work, you must ask for my permission before you can speak."

This is based on the precautions that Gardner·Martin said cannot have language communication with Trader. Lumian has greatly enlarged the scope and absoluteness to avoid possible accidents.

Christo and Simon both remembered Boss's advice and nodded one after another, agreeing to this restriction.

Lumian saw this and continued, "Two, no matter what abnormality occurs, unless something directly attacks you, please stay calm and take action based on my reaction.

"Three, I won't force you, but if you want to survive, you'd better obey my orders."

These two requirements made "Rat" Christo and "Giant" Simon quite resistant, because it meant that they relied on Lumian's mind, ability, reaction and knowledge for their safety, which was obviously not suitable for Wild Beyonder who was accustomed to relying on himself.

After hesitating for a few seconds, thinking of Charles's strength and previous performances, "Rat" Christo forced a smile:

"I will listen to your arrangements, but if you don't react and Taffy gives me a danger warning, then I will take action myself.

"Damn it, the longer I do the smuggling business, the more scared I become of Trier's underground."

"Giant" Simon also said, "I am the same as 'Rat'."

Being able to "tame" the two Beyonder who were also the leaders of Savoie Gang to this extent, Lumian was quite satisfied and did not force anything. He nodded and said, "No problem.

"Four, I will contact that Trader later and take the box Boss wants from him."

Hearing this, "Rat" Christo and "Giant" Simon both looked at Lumian with the eyes of re-recognizing Charles.

They thought that this "Pyromaniac" would take advantage of his strength and status to assign one of the two people to contact the Trader to take on the most dangerous part of the task, or suggest drawing lots but act as the host himself. Who knows, he actually offered to pick up the box himself.

Charles is fairly fair..."Giant"Simon couldn't help but sigh.

If it were him, he definitely wouldn't be able to do it.

This made him and "Rat" Christo no longer as resistant to following Lumian's instructions as before.

Although the light was not bright, Lumian still saw the reactions of his two colleagues clearly.

He couldn't help but sneered in his heart:

"If you weren't all Beyonder who lack the knowledge of Mysticism, you might have caused some problems when handing over the box. How could I take the risk myself?"

This made Lumian sincerely lament that sometimes, being weak can also be an advantage.

After once again emphasizing that he could not speak, he carried Carbide Lamp, turned around and walked to the bottom of Cavern, indicating "Giant" Simon to hug a half-person-high stone and move it to the side.

The stone was very heavy, and it was difficult even with Simon's strength. It took a while to move it away, revealing the deep entrance of Hidden Tunnel.

This Tunnel is not very long. It only took the three of them seven or eight minutes to bend down and walk through it. They arrived at a Mine that had basically collapsed with only a little space left.

This is their destination Albert Mine.

Lumian looked at the messy gray and black stones for a few times, then looked sideways at "Giant" Simon, who was wearing a black formal suit, and pointed at his chest.

Simon understood what he meant, took out a Iron Gray pocket watch, and opened it with a snap.

On the dial, there are a large number of Gears that bite together, giving it a mechanical beauty that is both precise and cold.

"Giant" Simon took the pocket watch and showed it to Lumian and "Rat" Christo to let them know that there are still ten minutes left until the transaction time, which is twelve o'clock sharp.

Lumian nodded, remained silent, and waited patiently.

After waiting for a while, he turned his head slightly and listened to the movement around him.

He felt that there was a strange sound in Underground, like a large number of people screaming, roaring and fighting there.

By the light of Carbide Lamp, Lumian took a look at Simon and Christo and found that they had similar reactions and seemed to have heard those movements.

Seeing Simon and Christo looking back at him, Lumian made a right-hand Subordinate gesture to prevent them from being affected.

Amid the strange noises coming from time to time, the three of them stood on the edge of Albert Mine, waiting silently.

Suddenly, the sound of kicking came from the other side of Mine, as if someone was dozens of meters away, wearing leather shoes, walking towards this side of the unusually quiet Tunnel.

That One Trader? Lumian looked at the opposite side thoughtfully.

The footsteps sometimes paused and sometimes continued, echoing in Albert Mine.

When Albert Mine was only a few meters away, it disappeared strangely and completely.

After waiting for a while, Lumian and the other three saw Youdao's figure appearing at the other entrance of Mine. It was Men who was over 1.8 meters tall. He was wearing a white shirt, Yellow Waistcoat, a black formal suit and Dark Trousers. He was carrying a small brown suitcase in his hand.

The man was wearing Medium-Height Silk Top Hat, and the brim of the hat was very low, which cast a slight shadow on his face. However, with the eyesight of "Hunter", Lumian could still see his appearance clearly with the light of three Carbide Lamp:

With short brown-red hair, Eyes, a slightly messy and thick beard and thick eyebrows, he looks like a male bear who has been starved for a long time and has become exaggeratedly thin.

The collar of his shirt is tied tightly, giving people a feeling of being afraid of the cold.

Lumian was holding Carbide Lamp and was about to walk Past towards this man.

At this time, Christo pulled his arm.

When Lumian looked sideways, he pointed to his right pocket with an anxious and fearful expression.

Does it mean that the strange Rat named Taffy gave a danger warning? But judging from Christo's performance, the danger should not have really erupted yet and was still within control, otherwise he would have turned around and ran away... Lumian interpreted it and nodded to Christo, saying that he would pay attention and be careful.

Christo did not stop him, but looked at him walking towards Trader with a little worry.

In the process of closing the distance, Lumian's eyes kept looking at the man's body, analyzing every detail:

The clothes were a bit too big and didn't seem to fit... He seemed to be afraid of something, but he was also full of anger and hatred... His hands were not extended Sleeve, they were hidden inside, including the handles of the box... His feet...

Lumian's pupils suddenly dilated, and he saw that That One Trader's feet were not wearing shoes, only wearing a pair of gray socks.

This is completely contradictory to the sound of leather shoes they heard just now!

Could it be that the sound was not made by him, but came from someone else? Lumian became increasingly vigilant and alert.

Albert Mine There was not much space left, so he quickly came to That One Trader.

The hungry bear-like man laughed and asked, "Gardner·Martin sent you here, right?"

"Is he scared? The companion who was sent to Underground to find the Trier entrance of Fourth Epoch suddenly sent a message saying that important items were to be handed over to him after he disappeared for several months."
