The reason

Joseph and Layan stopped, slowly turned around, and at the same time set their sights on Lumian.

Lumian looked at them quietly without explaining.

Joseph maintained that polite smile that was a little Pride and looking down, and asked, "Mr. Charles, I don't think I understand what you mean."

Lumian then spoke calmly, "I only allowed you to come up and visit me, but I haven't allowed you to leave.

"This is my Breeze Ballroom. It is not your home. You can come and leave whenever you want."

He did not deliberately use the "Provocation" ability, but his attitude, tone and meaning were full of naked contempt, as if he was not afraid of your anger at all.

Layan, who was always expressionless, squinted his eyes, turned back, and continued walking towards the stairs, as if the words Lumian just said did not exist.

Joseph, who had brown hair and brown eyes, glanced at Lumian, then at Layan, his eyes flickered for a moment without stopping him.

Lumian unhurriedly pulled out Revolver and pulled the trigger toward the stairs without any hesitation or hesitation.

With a bang, Layan stopped again.

He turned around slowly and looked at Lumian as if he had real pressure.

Christo There was obvious movement in one pocket. His expression suddenly became ugly and alert, and he smelled an imminent danger.

Lumian seemed unaware, took the Revolver and apologized sincerely:

"Sorry, I'm illegally holding a gun."

While speaking, he looked back at Layan and Joseph with a faint smile on his face without any fear.

Joseph's forced polite smile could no longer be maintained. His eyes were like an eagle, looking at Lumian sharply, as if he was assessing the will, confidence and strength of the Gang leader.

Lumian really wanted to say "What are you looking at? If you want to fight, fight, if you don't want to fight, you will surrender." to completely anger the two liaison officers of the Trier Cave Association, but considering that "Rat" and Christo were still present, he gave up this plan.

That would reveal his true purpose of deliberately Provocation rather than trying to test, and it would be difficult to explain to Gardner·Martin, the current or former "Conspirer".

His eyes looked at Joseph and Layan without any fluctuation. He held the Revolver in his right hand and gently slid the wheel.

After more than ten seconds, when "Rat" Christo was sweating on his forehead, Joseph smiled again and asked politely, "Then can we leave now, Mr. Charles?"

Oh, this is my real intention to see that I have nothing to do and want to use my fists? Where is your arrogance and self-esteem? Lumian laughed secretly and said in a tone that could make people angry, "Not yet."

Layan suddenly took a step forward, but was blocked behind by Joseph.

This young man with many freckles, brown hair and brown eyes raised his chin slightly, looked at Lumian and said, "What do we need to do to get your permission?"

Lumian smiled a little disappointedly, "To answer my question just now, why did you invite me and Christo to join Cave Association? I don't remember that I have a hobby of exploring Cave and studying Cave."

Joseph was silent for several seconds and said, "Cave Adventurer from our association met Christo several times in Underground and noticed him He has a very good understanding of Underground Trier and seems to know a lot of hidden routes on m. hetushu·com. com, which is in line with our invitation conditions for the Cave Association."

"Rat" Christo has no doubts about this explanation. Although he went to Underground mainly for smuggling, no matter which smuggling route is not completely hidden, it will always pass through some Tunnel and Mine that are well known by Cave Adventurer and Quarry Police. During this process, it is inevitable that he will encounter a small number of "passers-by" or be spied on by "passers-by" from a distance.

Lumian rubbed the muzzle of Revolver's gun without interrupting Joseph's story.

Joseph paused for a few seconds and then said, "As for you, there are two reasons:

"The first is the specimen of the 'Earthblood' ore."

That "Earthblood" ore specimen...Lumian didn't expect this at all.

He didn't think about the reason immediately. Following his rich prank experience and the guidance of Anthony·Reid during this period, he blurted out. "'Earthblood' ore The specimen... ah, I remembered it. I got it from a Madman named Flamang. Isn't that thing just a stone? It has no value. I don't even know where it was lost."

Speaking of this, Lumian's heart moved, and he added like a memory, "It seems to have been stolen. I originally threw it in a Apartment I rented. Hehe, people like us definitely don't have only one place to rest and sleep. My Apartment There are many traps buried inside. Who knows, there is a thief who can sneak in smoothly and open the cabinet. Moreover, he only took away the piece of 'Earthblood' ore and didn't touch anything else. I was still very strange at the time. I thought I had misremembered. The stone had been lost long ago and the thief never entered..."

Seeing that Charles·Dubois spoke very truthfully, with enough details, and his tone and expression proved that he didn't value the ore specimen at all, and didn't take it seriously. Now that he talks about it, it just feels like a little bit of debris. Joseph and Layan looked at each other, and their attitudes changed subtly Change.

It was only at this time, after completing a series of performances, that Lumian turned around and thought about the reason why Trier Cave Association found a piece of "Earthblood" ore:

"The 'Earthblood' rock formation has existed in Trier Underground for hundreds or thousands of years. The small amount of specific minerals contained in it must not have appeared recently. It was noticed by Flamang and other mineral researchers...

"Trier's official forces and some Concealment organizations should know about a small amount of specific minerals in the 'Earthblood' rock formation and the fallen 'Blood Emperor' 'Alista·Tudor There is a certain relationship, but they have not been found to have actual value. They will only cause some degree of mental damage to the people who come into contact Corruption...

"That night, I activated the Brand in my right hand, causing Trier and many High-Ranking Being to sense it. Someone inside may have recognized the aura of 'Blood Emperor'Alista·Tudor based on different methods, so I started to investigate related items...

"The whereabouts of a small amount of specific minerals in the 'Earthblood' rock formation is a clue for tracing, and the relics of Flamang have been registered in Market District Police Headquarters...

"Cave Association had some kind of relationship with the authorities, so he accepted the mission and found me who had taken away Flamang's relics...

"Why not just ask people from Police Headquarters? 'Purifier', 'Machinery Hivemind' and Eighth Bureau members all have corresponding identities of Police...

"Well, the officialdom is not a whole. Not only is it divided into the government and the two major Churchs on the surface, but in actual operation, each force has different factions within it:

"'Eternal Blazing Sun' Church's 'Preaching Brotherhood' and 'Little Brotherhood' concepts conflict, 'God of Steam and Machinery' Church's Monastery system conflicts with the Church system, Eighth Bureau is even closer to a patchwork. Some of the members come from the Concealment organization recognized by the government, some belong to Soren and other former Nobles groups that still retain a certain degree of strength, and some are cultivated by the Eighth Bureau itself over the years...

"That is to say, members of the Eighth Bureau cannot join any political party, otherwise it will be more lively...

"In this case, a group within a certain force thought of the special 'Earthblood' ore, but was unwilling to let others know about it, so it gave up the official channel of Police Station and pursued it through the informal Cave Association?

"Perhaps some people in the Cave Association came up with this clue. They are one of the most professional in understanding Underground's situation and mineral specimens...

"Is this why they didn't directly ask me to cooperate with the investigation, but instead tried to invite me to join Cave Association?"

Lumian quickly made a preliminary judgment and waited for Joseph to tell the second reason.

Joseph said, "We thought you were very interested in underground minerals and were a fan.

"It was really stolen, or did you put it somewhere else and forget about it?"

"It must have been stolen." Lumian said the most truthful words, "I found some traces. Because of this incident, I was worried that the gold I saved would be stolen, so I went to the bank to rent a safe to store it."

Joseph nodded slightly and said, "The second reason is that Kendall, the administrator of Catacombs, told us that among the people who brought Flamang's ashes to be buried there, you seem to be a bit special and can detect some abnormalities that others cannot."

Following the line of "Earthblood" ore, we found Catacombs... Lumian suddenly realized, "I don't understand what you mean by special."

Joseph did not explain or ask any questions. He looked at Lumian and said, "Mr. Charles, we can leave now."

Lumian looked at them for a few seconds and nodded slowly:

"Okay."

When things happened with Change, he gave up the idea of Provocation, the two liaison officers, and severely offended Trier Cave Association.

Although he has also angered Joseph and Layan, the other party has also got the answer they want, at least part of the answer. After that, there may be small revenge, but no big cleanup will happen.

After watching Joseph and Layan disappear at the top of the stairs, Lumian sat quietly for dozens of seconds, put away Revolver, stood up, and said to "Rat" Christo: "This matter is more complicated than I expected. I must report it to Boss."

He thought of a dangerous possibility:

If it was Sauron Family who traced the whereabouts of the special "Earthblood" ore through the Cave Association, then they know Gang like Charles·Dubois After the leader once owned an ore specimen, if the son of a wealthy businessman who was found to be abnormal on Puyfer·Soren's King Cake Game was this Savoie Gang member, it would be hard not to make certain associations.

Therefore, you must immediately report the situation to Gardner·Martin and explain it "frankly" to eliminate hidden dangers and obtain useful suggestions.

Backed by a Concealment organization like "Iron and Blood Cross Order", it is also related to the main tasks given by Gardner·Martin. Lumian will definitely not "act on its own initiative."

"Rat"Christo hesitated for a few seconds and forced a smile:

"Okay."
