After a few seconds, Franca forced a smile and said, "Don't worry about him, he has his own Occult Gathering."

Jenna nodded lightly and said no more.

The two put on disguise clothes, masks and a small amount of Cosmetics, left No. 3 White Coat Street, walked to Market Avenue, and took a ride connecting Market District Susie Steam Train Station and Cathedral District Metro Line 2 of Trier North Train Station arrived at District 9, which is also known as Opera District known as Northern Continent.

Here is the world's largest and most lively Arcade street, with Department Store and high-end shops on both sides. The glass Dome supported by steel brackets above are brightly colored, depicting sacred or epic scenes, making the Sunlight that shines through them somewhat magnificent.

In order to make up for the lack of light caused by Stained Glass, the new Kerosene Lamp on the Iron-Black street light pole is always on, with dazzling white light.

This is called Gas Lamp. It uses the heat of its own ignition to turn kerosene into Steam and sprays it on the surrounding hot gauze, creating a bright white light.

In terms of lighting effect, this is many times stronger than the traditional Gas Streetlamp and the ordinary household Kerosene Lamp, which comes from the transformation of "God of Steam and Machinery" Church.

Jenna followed Franca into the crowd Washroom in the middle section of Opera Arcade Street. They each found a cubicle, changed clothes, and put on simple makeup to cover up their own luster.

Then, they entered Underground through the nearby entrance.

Different from other areas of Trier, the underground street corresponding to Opera House Arcade above is also crowded with people. It is full of Café, Art Gallery, Beer Hall and small commodity stores. It does not feel dark, cold, or closed at all.

After walking out of here, Underground Trier returned to the appearance in Jenna's impression.

As "Assassin", both she and Franca have the ability to see things in the dark, but in order to prevent Sequence's characteristics from being seen by Participant of Occult Gathering, they each carried a Carbide Lamp, letting the yellowish light tinged with a little blue shine forward.

Observing Franca's every move, Jenna Imitation put on the Silver-White Metal Mask that covered the upper half of his face, and walked almost silently along the slightly damp Tunnel towards Underground and Depths.

After walking for a while, Franca pointed to a fork in the road ahead and said with a smile, "There are legends of being haunted there."

"What legend?" Jenna asked quite cooperatively.

Franca said with a smile, "Opera House's people often heard Underground's strange male voices, and found several Bounty Hunter's to investigate the cause. As a result, they never came back."

"Official Beyonder doesn't care?" Jenna asked in confusion.

"I investigated, but found nothing, because this is a legend we made up." Franca laughed.

Jenna is even more confused:

"Why would you deliberately make up such a legend?"

Fun?

Franca smiled and said, "Lest those Trier people who like to drill on Underground interrupt our party."

Jenna felt that he understood the reason, and suddenly realized. "Scare them so that they don't dare to come to this area?"

"No." Franca shook his head sternly, "Let them just focus on that place and ignore the surrounding places. To put it simply, find something to do for the adventurous Trier citizens and college students."

Jenna, who was born and raised in Trier, immediately became speechless and held it in for a few seconds before saying, "Fuck! None of the Trier people around me are like this!"

Everyone works hard, but they just like to go to Bar Dance Hall and other places to have a drink, sing and dance, or vent their inner emotions by insulting each other after a busy day.

"Trier and Trier people are also different." Franca clicked his tongue and shook his head.

While talking, they squeezed through a gap, turned into the new Tunnel, and arrived at a Quarry Cavern with some dark green moss.

Quarry Cavern Outside, stood a white skeleton, with a Iron-Colored Mask on its face, Eye Sockets empty Cavern hole, deep and dark.

When Jenna, who had never been exposed to anything Mysticism, saw this scene, his heart beat faster unconsciously and he instinctively felt scared.

Franca raised his hand and said hello:

"You just send a skeleton here every time, do you need to be so cautious?

"Damn it, why don't you wear a mask on a skeleton? Is there anything you can't do to see people?"

The white skeleton said in a voice that sounded like the vocal cords were rubbing against metal, "I really like a sentence in the 'Great Adventurer' series of novels:

"'It's polite'."

After saying that, Eye Sockets Youhei looked at Jenna without Burning or Flames:

"She is?"

"My friend, bring her to see her." Franca answered very simply.

The skeleton didn't ask any questions, and moved its neck with a click, indicating that the two of them could enter Quarry Cavern at the back.

When we got inside, Jenna saw a lot of people there. They were wearing different disguises, sitting on rocks or standing in the corner. No one was talking and it was extremely quiet.

After looking around, Jenna lowered his voice and asked Franca:

"You just let me in like this?"

Isn't this too easy and simple?

Don't you worry about being trustworthy? Don't you worry about security issues?

Franca laughed in a low voice, "I believe in him, and he also believes in me."

"I see..." Jenna just nodded, and suddenly felt something was wrong, "How did that skeleton know it was you? Didn't you put on a disguise?"

"He has a special way of recognizing people." Franca explained vaguely.

A quarter of an hour later, more people arrived one after another. By the time the skeleton wearing Iron-Colored Mask announced that Trading Gathering had officially begun, nearly twenty people had gathered in this Quarry Cavern.

Jenna watched the transactions with experience and curiosity, and asked Franca a few words in a low voice from time to time, mastering many new terms.

In the process, she was inevitably shocked by the prices of Potion Formula, Mystical Item, Beyonder weapon and various materials. Even the cheapest ones, she had to Underground Singer for a whole week to make enough. As for the expensive ones, she felt that she had no hope in this life.

The last third of Trading Gathering is mainly Commission, and Jenna unknowingly sat up straight, wanting to see if there was anything I could do that could make a lot of money.

A man wearing Black Robe, showing the image of "Warlock" in various horror stories, said in a deliberately sharp voice, "I have a mission worth 20,000 Felkine."

20,000 Felkine? Everyone present turned their attention to That One Commissioner.

The same is true for Jenna. She has never seen such a large sum of money in her life.

The man looked at each other and said, "Hillside District Deep Valley Monastery's Gatekeeper has been missing for three and Library days. I hope you can help me find him or his Corpse."

"I am not able to identify the authenticity of the clues, so only the person who brings him or his Corpse back to Deep Valley Monastery can get the 20,000 Felkine.

"Of course, you can also choose to bring it here."

Deep Valley Monastery belongs to "God of Steam and Machinery" Church, which gathers many Ascetic (Monks) who are determined to study machinery and Steam, who do not get married, have children, do not preach, and do not Sermon.

It is located in Hillside District, which is District 19. To the west is Cathedral District with "God of Steam and Machinery Church" Archbishop's Bishop's Cathedral and Trier North Train Station. To the east is District 20, which is Cemetery District.

When no one responded, the man continued, "The official has investigated and found nothing.

"Each of you can pick up this Commission and use the name Bounty Hunter to investigate Deep Valley Monastery. Don't worry about being suspected. I will post notices about this matter in Bar, Dance Hall, and Beer Hall in each district."

You can give it a try. Anyway, you won't lose anything if you can't investigate. At most, you'll waste some time making money... Jenna looked sideways at Franca with some excitement.

Franca also nodded, thinking that this task can be taken on.

On the one hand, she was curious, but on the other hand, she felt that it could bring some experience to Jenna, lest she only do assassinations at the cost of her life. If she really smelled danger and discovered something abnormal, they could exit in time.

Of course, one of the reasons is that the bounty is high enough.

After a brief silence, Participant from the party began to ask questions, one after another.

They want to have enough information before a formal investigation.

Commissioner gave a very brief answer, just telling everyone that the missing Monastery Gatekeeper is called Pink. He is in his early fifties and is a resident of nearby Deep Valley Town. He is a "God of Steam and Machinery" believer of Devout. He is unmarried and has a fanatical hobby for machinery. This is why he went to Deep Valley Monastery to work as Gatekeeper when he had his own farm.

He comes home once a week for one day at a time, but he does not disappear from home.

That night, when the Monkss who were obsessed with research were testing a Steam Creation in the courtyard, they and Library saw Pink staying at the door of the Gatekeeper cabin, watching with interest. Unexpectedly, he was found missing the next morning.

Jenna Remember this information carefully, just like you usually study performances.

Not long after, the Occult Gathering was over, and the Participants left in batches with a tacit understanding.

A few nights later, Lumian was sitting at the bar of Breeze Ballroom, drinking his favorite Absinthe and watching Jenna singing and dancing.

At this time, Louis came over, leaned into his ear and said, "Boss, Boss is here, Café is waiting for you on the second floor."

"Boss come here in person?" Lumian was a little surprised.

He didn't say anything more. Gulu drank the rest of the green liquid, got up and walked towards the stairs.

At this time, Gardner·Martin was standing near the window, not wearing formal clothes, wearing a Deep Brown-colored jacket and a wide-brimmed round hat of the same color, as if he had just come from Dock or Yard.

He looked at Lumian with a brownish-red Eyes for a second, and motioned for everyone else to leave.

Soon, only Gardner·Martin and Lumian were left in Café.

This Savoie Gang Boss smiled and said, "I should have expressed my appreciation for you more than once, right?"

"Yes, thank you Boss." Lumian nodded.

Gardner·Martin's expression gradually became serious:

"Are you interested in joining my circle? This will give you access to more Beyonder, stronger power and more abundant resources."

Is this the "inspection" over? Lumian did not hide his doubts:

"What's the price?"

Gardner·Martin smiled again:

"The price is that you may encounter more dangers and have to follow orders to complete some tasks.

"But as long as you do well, you will definitely be promoted quickly. Maybe within a few years, you can sit in my position."

Lumian deliberately hesitated and considered for a while before saying, "I have no problem."

Gardner·Martin nods in a positive light:

"Before this, you need to accept a test.

"You go to No. 13 Market Avenue now and stay there until Sun rises."

No. 13 Market Avenue? Lumian frowned and tried to remember.

Finally, he remembered where that place was:

That is Aosta·Special Roul this "Secret Supplicant" is considered to be Market District's Most Dangerous Place.

That was the building that burned down but was never demolished!
