The main mission

Lumian didn't quite understand how Gardner·Martin relied on to determine that Vermonda·Soren was not dead yet, but it seemed that the other party was not going to explain, so he had to give up questioning.

He only cares about one issue now:

"Then my mission is over?"

Obviously, combined with the fact that Count Puyver likes to get Wax Figure Head for friends he knows and that the one who attacked him just now was a Wax Figures, Lumian believes that he has been suspected by the other party, and it will be very dangerous to contact him again.

Gardner·Martin shook his head slowly:

"No, we have to continue."

He took Cigar, stood up, and walked a few steps towards the floor-to-ceiling window. "The fact that you became the king after choosing Puyfer will definitely make him doubt your origin, but he will want to find out the real reason why that happened. The subsequent attack on Wax Figures was mainly for this reason.

"So, he will invite you and test you in different ways to extract the secrets of your Concealment. For us, this is an opportunity to confirm the true status of Vermonda and Sauron Family Ancestors.

"With this, we can understand the reasons for the gradual decline of this once extremely powerful family. This is of great significance to us who are also dominated by 'Hunter'Pathway, and is our current main task.

"To put it simply, the current Sauron Family is just like the Red Swan Castle. It has long been in disrepair, but the Concealment holds many secrets and has a guard capable of snooping on the Intimidation. What we have to do is to find out the defense loopholes of the Castle, confirm whether those secrets will pose a fatal threat to us, and then look for opportunities to break through the guards, bypass the traps, and take away the treasure.

"Don't worry, I will secretly provide protection for any subsequent invitations from Puyfer. The risk you need to bear is not big."

Lumian thought for a while and said, "'Chief', you said before that our main task is to find the real entrance of Fourth Epoch that Trier."

How can this main task change so easily?

Gardner·Martin took a sip of Cigar and smiled:

"These two things are related to a certain extent and serve the same purpose, but you don't need to know that for the time being."

What is the purpose? In other words, "Iron and Blood Cross Order" is currently focusing on exploring Underground, looking for Fourth Epoch's entrance to Trier and investigating Sauron Family The reason for the gradual decline of E in the past two or three hundred years, trying to bite off a piece of fat from them? According to Mr. K in the book Sauron Family, one of the reasons for the decline of the Sauron Family The reason is that for a period of time many important members went crazy and died... Gardner·Martin and I are mainly responsible for the direction of the Sauron Family, including "Supervisor"Olsen and other members explored Underground? Lumian had a clearer understanding of "Iron and Blood Cross Order"'s recent plans.

And this is also his main task.

Of course, he only knew what to do, not why.

"Yes, 'Chief'." Lumian agreed without saying any more.

He had a vague hunch that this would be his chance to digest "Pyromaniac" Potion and make further progress on "Hunter" Pathway.

You know, according to "Magician" Lady, Sauron Family was a powerful force that once owned "Hunter" Angel.

Gardner·Martin did not ask Puyfer how much gold he would give to the "king", but indicated that Lumian could leave and wait for the next invitation from That One short seller Count.

When walking through the renovated hall, Lumian saw Butler Faustino, who was also a formal member of "Iron and Blood Cross Order", leading a man wearing Black Cloak in.

The man was of medium height, less than 1.75 meters tall, and his clothes were loose and tightly wrapped, making it difficult to see his specific appearance and body features.

Lumian can only be initially judged to be Men based on his walking posture, height, and stride size.

Faustino nodded to Lumian as a greeting, then led the mysterious person That One through the hall in a hurry and entered Study of Gardner·Martin.

Who could it be? Late Night came here to discuss something? Lumian looked away and left Springwater Street Number 11 with thoughts awash.

Market District, Messy Street, Golden Rooster Inn.

Lumian After reaching the second floor, he suddenly stepped harder and made a thumping sound.

He slowly returned to the Room 207, lit the Carbide Lamp, turned around in the armchair, sat down, and looked at the ajar door with a smile.

Twenty or thirty seconds later, slight footsteps came from the direction of Room 201.

The footsteps were hesitant at first and then firm. They soon arrived outside 207 and knocked gently on the door.

"Please come in." Lumian raised his chin slightly and said.

The person who came was indeed Laurent. He was wearing Linen Shirt and black trousers, which was completely different from the formal look he wore every time he went out.

After closing the door with his backhand, Laurent looked at Lumian and said, "Mr. Dubois, I want to borrow 500 Felkine from you."

Lumian was startled for a moment, not expecting this development.

He thought this guy was here to beg him not to reveal his true identity.

Who knew, he would actually come here to borrow money!

"Why do you need 500 Felkine?" Lumian's expression has no Change.

Laurent said with a slightly deeper voice, "I am about to become one of the Deputy Editor-in-Chiefs in the "The Little Trierian" newspaper. Although I am only the one with the most junior qualifications, I can no longer live here. I have to invite my colleagues to my home for gatherings regularly and establish a good relationship with them.

"So, I want to borrow 500 Felkine to rent a good Apartment in a place like Observatory District or Memorial Hall District, take my mother to Past, and seize the time to let her learn how to hold a small banquet.

"When I receive my salary, I will repay the debt in installments. What interest rate do you think is better?"

This is not only borrowing money to consolidate the work, but also taking the initiative to pass the handle to me, giving me some benefits by the way, so that I will not destroy his good deeds... Lumian looked at Laurent a little higher, nodded thoughtfully and said, "I don't need interest. You will definitely come into contact with some noteworthy or surprising news, information and advertisements in the "The Little Trierian" newspaper. I hope you will sort it out regularly and give me a copy."

Lumian said as he took out his wallet and counted out 5 Banknotes with a denomination of 100 Felkine:

"Just pay it back within this year."

Laurent secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "No problem."

After watching the speculator write down the IOU and leaving Room 207, Lumian took out the five heavy gold bars presented by Count Puyver from his pocket and tossed them in his hand.

With this windfall, he has already saved 75,000 Felkine worth of gold, as well as 2000 Felkine that has not been converted into gold and the remaining 4000 Felkine activity funds.

"It won't take long to complete Contract of 'Armored Wraith', let's summon it again..." Lumian played with the gold bar for a while, left Briefcase with the "Torture" glove in the back chair position, washed himself and went to bed, waiting for the Nightmare that was bound to come.

In a confused state, Lumian once again saw Red Swan Castle with a beige exterior wall stained with old blood.

In a dazed state, he walked in and arrived at the large living room where he played King Cake Game.

Miss Alois, Painter Maren, "The Little Trierian" newspaper editor-in-chief Cornell and other guests who often attend Count Puyver banquets are sitting in the sofa area, as if they are waiting for Lumian to arrive.

However, Laurent and the temporary female companions of several other guests are not here.

This makes the scene look like another or Past's salon.

Lumian approached the sofa area step by step. Count Puyver and others stood up one after another and stood respectfully.

"Good afternoon, His Majesty the King." they greeted in unison.

Lumian glanced at them coldly and almost instinctively:

"Huh?"

Count Puyver and others were stunned for a second and said, "His Imperial Majesty!"

Lumian nodded lightly, sat on Armchair, and watched the guests sit around him.

They chatted endlessly, and the topics were divergent and vague.

Suddenly, the novelist Anoli raised his right hand and scratched his face.

With a stabbing sound, he tore off a large piece of skin, revealing the squirming flesh and blackened thin tubes.

Almost at the same time, Painter Maren and others either picked up a knife and stabbed themselves in the heart, or bit the necks of their companions.

In an instant, the entire living room became extremely bloody, with horrific scenes everywhere.

Lumian My mind was shaken, and what I saw in front of me happened immediately Change.

He was in another hall of Castle, surrounded by countless lit White Candles, Protection holding a Coffin.

That Coffin is made of bronze, and its surface is rusty. I don't know how many years it has been placed here.

Lumian felt the sadness and helplessness of losing a loved one and losing support in his heart. He slowly stretched out his right hand and tried to rub the Rusty Bronze Coffin.

At this moment, the cover of Coffin opened to the side with a creak, revealing a deep gap.

A Crimson palm with protruding black blood vessels suddenly stretched out, holding a heart that was extremely dry but with a little blood leaking out.

The heart was still contracting and expanding gently and invisibly.

After seeing this withered heart, Lumian's thoughts quickly became chaotic and infected with a certain degree of madness.

His right palm felt slightly warm, and he suddenly woke up from his dream.

Regarding Nightmare, he was not surprised or panicked at all. While calming down his instinctively accelerated heartbeat, he recalled all the details in Nightmare.

Gradually, Lumian frowned.

In the first scene, most of King Cake Game Participant ended up going crazy, and they harmed themselves or others, but there were three exceptions. Until the scene Change, they were all normal people.

That one is Lumian himself, and the other is Count Puyver.

There is another thing that Lumian did not expect:

Miss That One Alois!

She is not as reserved and well-behaved as her cousin and Library show her. She also has her own secrets... Lumian smiled silently.

As for what Bronze Coffin, the dead Corpse, and the withered heart in the second act scene represented, he couldn't decipher them at all. He could only guess that they might be related to the secret of the Sauron Family.

Just like last time, Lumian had Nightmare several times this night, but the clarity and completeness of the dreams gradually declined.

Near dawn, Nightmare was completely gone.

After getting up, while his memory was still clear, Lumian quickly wrote these things into a letter and sent it to "Magician" Lady.
