The guilty party complained first
Memorial Hall District, Springwater Street Number 11.
Gardner·Martin was wearing a white shirt and black trousers, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of Study, his skin glowing slightly from the brilliant Sunlight Golden.
He looked at Lumian and Christo standing in front of Desk, listening to them telling each other about the Trier Cave Association.
Lumian is responsible for the main part and roughly explained the origin of the "Earthblood" ore specimen:
"When I moved into Golden Rooster Inn, there was a Madman there, called Flamang. It is said that he went crazy after meeting Montsouris Ghosts, and his whole family died mysteriously.
"He would occasionally sober up, and we drank together several times. Then one day, he also hanged himself. The relics were taken away by Police Headquarters people and said to be given to his living relatives, but those people were unwilling to accept them. In the end, they asked me to collect them, which included the specimen of the 'Earthblood' ore.
"I knew that Madman at some point, and we had a drink, so I didn't throw away the mineral specimen. I just put it in Safe House's Tinplate cabinet..."
What Lumian said was all the truth, and none of Vocabulary was false. He only hid his role in helping Flamang get rid of Montsouris Ghosts and Termiboros's reminder of the "Earthblood" ore.
Hearing this, Eyes, Gardner·Martin, who was reddish brown and had black hair on his temples with a few silver hairs, asked in confirmation, "Where is your Safe House?"
Lumian answered truthfully:
"White Coat Street 19, the leftmost room on the third floor."
This was not on the same side as No. 6 Apartment, who had a terrifying aura, and was separated by a distance, so Lumian answered frankly.
Gardner·Martin smiled:
"No wonder you come to White Coat Street often, not just because of Jenna."
Boss, are you implying that I shouldn't go to Franca's place too frequently? Are you also showing that you know this situation? Lumian sneered and continued to talk about the following things.
This is how he explained to the Cave Association, Joseph and Layan before.
Finally, Lumian deliberately asked, "Will this bring any trouble to us Savoie Gang? There might be some official force hiding behind the Cave Association."
He was implying that Gardner·Martin's disguised identity might be exposed in front of Puyfer·Soren. He believed that it would not be difficult to understand Boss's IQ.
Gardner·Martin nodded slightly, looked at "Rat" Christo and said, "If you want to join Cave Association, you can join, just don't delay the smuggling business."
"Rat"Christo nodded frequently:
"Yes, Boss."
He immediately received instructions from Gardner·Martin and left Study early, leaving Lumian alone.
Gardner·Martin showed a smile, and Soothing became the official member of "Iron and Blood Cross Order":
"Don't worry about Puyfer's problems. Even if he figures out your true identity, he will just pretend he doesn't know. After you became the king in King Cake Game, he will already have a lot of doubts about you. The next step will be to test and exploit you again and again."
His implication is to continue to stay at Market District and continue to manage industries such as Breeze Ballroom, Golden Rooster Inn and Mill Ballroom.
"Okay, I was just worried that it would affect the most important task." Lumian responded with a smile, looking relieved.
At the same time, he sneered in his heart.
He was keenly aware of the unreasonableness of this arrangement: Gardner·Martin:
For Beyonder to manage Breeze Ballroom and other industries, and for Lumian to go into hiding, it would be a very easy and simple thing for Boss of Savoie Gang and "Chief" of "Iron and Blood Cross Order", and there would be no harm.
Even if he feels that he cannot mistreat Lumian, an Subordinate who has an important mission, he can make up for it by continuing to share the profits of Breeze Ballroom and other industries, rather than letting the official members who have been targeted and suspected take certain risks to stay in their original positions.
Although Lumian turning into the dark will appear more suspicious and lead to Savoie Gang being targeted, but Gardner·Martin has encountered this level of problems countless times, and there must be a way to solve it.
Lumian felt that this "Chief" of "Iron and Blood Cross Order" was a little suspicious of him, so he hoped to use Cave Association's hand to continue testing him.
There is nothing in his description and explanation that can be falsified. Normally, it would be enough for Gardner·Martin to believe it. But the problem is that so much has happened around him during this time. There are too many unusual things, Gardner·Martin, as a former or current "Conspirer", will definitely instinctively and intuitively suspect that there is something wrong here.
The detailed reasons are no longer enough to cover up the overall anomaly.
Thinking of this, Lumian suddenly became murderous.
He looked at Gardner·Martin standing by the floor-to-ceiling window and judged that the distance between the two sides was about five meters.
At such a close distance, if he suddenly uses "Heng-Ha Art", and Gardner·Martin has not yet become Sequence 4, he will get Divinity, and does not carry Mystical Item that can defend against similar abilities, then he can quickly subdue Savoie Gang's Boss and kill him.
The current situation is like two Ordinary Person without Extraordinary Ability standing within a five-meter range. One has a noble status and is outstanding in fighting, while the other has a lower status and is not physically strong, but has a hidden Revolver and has good shooting ability.
Within five meters, no matter how high the Ordinary Person's status is, no matter how strong his fighting skills are, and no matter how many Subordinate are around him, he will collapse with one shot!
Considering the tasks of "Tarot Club" and "Aurora Order", Lumian controlled himself and asked instead, "'Chief', I want to buy the Potion Formula of 'Conspirer' from the meeting."
He has learned the lessons learned when he was promoted to "Pyromaniac". He doesn't want to digest all Potion, and then anxiously search for the formula of the next Sequence, one material after another. He hopes to collect the materials for "Conspirer" in advance while digesting the remaining "Pyromaniac" and "Potion", so as to save time to the greatest extent.
Gardner·Martin asked in surprise, "Do you have so many Cash?"
"'Conspirer's Potion Formula can be sold for seventy or eighty thousand Felkine on most Occult Gathering, or even more expensive. This is no better than 'Pyromaniac', which keeps dying. Over the past few years, people have been promoted continuously. Every 'Conspirer' understands the importance of protecting themselves, and no longer acts on impulse again and again, and begins to strictly control the leakage of Potion Formula corresponding to Sequence."
In Trier, the most common Potion Formula is "Hunter" Pathway's Sequence 9 to Sequence 7.
Without waiting for Lumian to reply, Gardner·Martin smiled and said, "If you can find out the secret of the Sauron Family Decay, even if not all of it, just part of it, I will directly give you 'Conspirer' Potion as a reward."
"If you are eager to improve yourself and don't want to wait so long, as a formal member of 'Iron and Blood Cross Order', you are eligible to buy 'Conspirer''s Potion Formula at a preferential price of 60,000 Felkine."
"No problem." Lumian agreed without hesitation, "I will bring 60,000 Felkine over tomorrow."
His original plan was that if Gardner and Martin were not given, he would ask if Mr. K and "Magician" and Lady were given.
"Do you really have 60,000 Felkine?" Gardner·Martin laughed.
Lumian suddenly felt something in his heart and said deliberately, "It just so happens that I helped Golden Rooster Inn a tenant to get back the 100,000 arrears from Observatory District Old Street's 'Different from the Rest' Dance Hall, and I shared more than half of it."
The total he received was 50,000 Felkine Banknotes and gold worth 30,000 Felkine. After repaying the 25,000 Franca borrowed, there is still 55,000 left. Adding the original 1,000 gold, 1,000 Banknotes and the remaining funds of 4,000 Felkine, there is a liquid asset of 61,000 Felkine.
"'Different from the Rest'Dance Hall..." Gardner·Martin repeated the term, and his expression gradually became serious, "Is that debt really coming back from 'Different from the Rest'Dance Hall?"
Obviously, this "Chief" of "Iron and Blood Cross Order" knows something special about "Different from the Rest" Dance Hall.
Lumian nodded calmly:
"Yes."
The Savoie Gang members of Breeze Ballroom knew more or less that he helped Fitz recover their debts, and they could not hide it from Gardner·Martin, so they just decided to speak out directly to confuse the categories of things that happened around him and mislead "Iron and Blood Cross Order" in the direction of suspicion.
Moreover, you can also use this to scare Gardner·Martin!
Gardner·Martin looked at Lumian and quietly moved a step towards the floor-to-ceiling window.
After a few seconds, he asked curiously, "Have you never heard of the problem of 'Different from the Rest'Dance Hall?"
"I heard." Lumian laughed.
At this time, if he had a Monocle, he might not be able to help but wear it Eye Sockets inside his right eye, and then appreciate the wonderful expressions Change and various subconscious reactions of Gardner·Martin.
After a pause, Lumian continued, "After I took over the Commission, I specifically investigated the Dance Hall. I found that it was very complicated, had a background, and was very dangerous, so I decided to give up. As a result, when I followed an enemy passing by that day, I just blinked and saw that one of the guards at the door of 'Different from the Rest' Dance Hall had mysteriously disappeared, and behind the window upstairs, their Boss Timmons seemed to have lost its soul.
"I thought this was an opportunity, so I tried to go in and collect the debt. Who knew, I succeeded!"
Lumian walked forward as he spoke and asked sincerely, "'Chief', are there any hidden dangers in this?"
Gardner·Martin took another step without leaving a trace, and said with a smile, "It doesn't seem to be the case at the moment. You should pay more attention to yourself in the future to see if there are any abnormalities."
Lumian took advantage of the situation and raised his doubts:
"'Chief', I don't feel right. Why have so many things happened around me during this period? Some of these things I did proactively, and some were passively sought out. Am I really the kind of person who will bring Calamity, or is my recent Destiny just due to running around and being busy and exhausted?"
Gardner·Martin looked at him deeply and said meaningfully, "Perhaps, this is what 'Hunter' will inevitably experience Destiny."
When Lumian left, Gardner·Martin turned his attention to the side.
A secret door opened there, and out came "Supervisor" Olsen like a hungry bear.
"How is it?" Gardner·Martin asked.
Olsen raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said, "He is not too convinced by your arrangement, which is normal. He is not particularly loyal and *bookish yet, and he cannot become a member of your team for the time being."
Gardner·Martin changed the topic thoughtfully:
"The Calamity in him is more obvious than any of us. Is he more Attunement?"
Olsen was silent for a few seconds and said, "Let's take a look again."
When Lumian returned to Market District, Franca was sitting in Chaillot Town Red House Café, looking at Blanche·Soren opposite with long orange-red hair hanging down like a waterfall, and said, "When will you finish the review?"
Blanche·Soren did not answer directly. He looked at Franca, who had black hair and brown eyes, and said thoughtfully, "We found someone who is suspected to be a member of 'Bliss Society'."
