The price of a gift

After Franca and Jenna, who were sitting by the bed, finished speaking, the room fell into silence and the atmosphere was quite solemn.

After a few seconds, Lumian smiled self-deprecatingly:

"At least Deep Valley Monastery and those Monks are still sneaky when they do bad things. This shows that they still have scruples. It shows that there is not an overall problem with God of Steam and Machinery'Church. There is also a large part of Clergy. It can even be said that the vast majority of Clergy are normal."

"I think so too." Anthony·Reid raised his hand and drew Triangle on his chest.

Lumian continued, "The matter has developed to this extent and is no longer something that our small team can participate in. It is the best choice to hand over the issue of Deep Valley Monastery to 'Purifier' and to 'Machinery Hivemind'."

What he didn't say was that "Tarot Club" had to be watching secretly. After all, no one knew how many hidden dangers there were inside the two Churchs that had not yet broken out. What if someone triggered them in advance and delayed the opportunity to trace the Deep Valley Monastery problem?

"Okay." Franca agreed.

She had such a plan herself.

After confirming the plan, Franca and Jenna left Golden Rooster Inn and transferred back to White Coat Street.

Lumian opened the curtains, looked at Crimson Moon in the sky, and said casually to Anthony·Reid who was about to walk to the door, "Your best choice now is to get up as soon as you get up tomorrow, go to Susie Steam Train Station and buy a ticket leaving Trier. The closer the train is, the better."

Anthony, who was wearing a military green camouflage uniform, stopped, turned around slowly, and looked at the back of Lumian www. hetu. com:

"Huh?"

Lumian poured a cup of light beer that served as water, Gulu took a sip, and still looked out the window and said, "During this period, you have followed us and learned a lot of things. You should be able to see that Trier has a huge hidden problem. Calamity is about to erupt. It will be very serious. If you don't leave as soon as possible, you may never be able to leave."

"As for revenge, as for looking for Philip who is suspended from death, you can wait until Calamity and the -picture-book are finished. No one stipulates that you can't return after leaving Trier."

Anthony·Reid was silent for a few seconds, walked slowly to the side of Lumian, also looked at the night sky outside and said, "Why don't you leave?"

Lumian smiled and said, "Aren't you 'Spectator'? You haven't seen that we all have missions, so how can we just leave Trier?"

Anthony turned his head sideways, stared at Lumian's face and eyes, and didn't speak for a long time.

Lumian Holding the light beer, his eyes were still looking out the window. His eyes were empty and the focus was very blurry.

After a while, he sneered, "Besides, I have the ability to survive in such a Calamity. I can also protect Franca and Jenna, but I can only protect two people. Do you think you can compare with a woman who is beautiful and has a deeper relationship with me?"

His "protection" refers to Church of the Fool who took Franca and Jenna "Teleportation" to Lavigny Docks.

Anthony made no response and looked back at the dark sky outside.

He slowly took out a box of cigarettes from his clothes, took out one, held it in his mouth, and lit it with a match.

After taking a few deep breaths and exhaling the white smoke, the "Psychiatrist" said to himself, "I was born and raised in West Coast of the Sea of Mist. There are many industrial cities there, and it is a place where there are more followers of 'God of Steam and Machinery' than 'Eternal Blazing Sun'."

"Sea of the Between The wind is very strong, the summer is not very hot, but it is very humid, it snows in winter, and everything is white, and the surrounding areas either have a lot of forests or are made bumpy by coal mining Iron Ore.

"After I was lucky enough to become Beyonder, my biggest dream was to retire safely, save some money, buy a piece of land next to the forest in my hometown town, hire a few people to help me farm, and secretly go to the forest in my free time Hunting, go to the beach to enjoy the breeze, or go out to sea Fishing, haha, you may not know that Sea of the Between fish cannot be eaten, some are very heavy Industrial Corruption, and unless there is really no way, the locals will not touch it."

Speaking of this, Anthony·Reid's voice became a little deeper:

"If I were to go back to West Coast of the Sea of Mist now, to my hometown town, I might never be able to enjoy that kind of life. It's not a matter of money, it requires a relaxed enough mentality.

"I still often get sneak attacks on our camp. Corpse and Nightmare are everywhere. I can hear my heart beating violently every time. I can imagine that if I leave tomorrow, I will see the newspaper about Trier. When watching the news and pictures of Calamity, I will definitely do something similar to Nightmare, and I will dream that Trier is burned by Flames, and Corpse is everywhere.

"That time, I ran away in panic. This time, I don't want to do it again."

Anthony·Reid started smoking cigarettes again.

Without waiting for Lumian to ridicule, he added, "I know very well that what I can do is limited, and all this actually has nothing to do with me, but I have been at Trier for several years, and I know many people on the line. People, know the neighbors around me, know the children who will exchange some news for me for candy or Kopek. I don't want to hear about their death in a few days, and see their Pain faces as soon as I close my eyes.

"I will try my best to cooperate with you and do something hard until there is really no other way, and then I will consider evacuating.

"You don't need to understand that this may be the paranoid decision of a patient with serious psychological problems."

Lumian laughed and said, "It's like no one has psychological problems."

Before I finished treatment, my psychological problems were much more serious than yours!

Anthony·Reid showed a bit of smile:

"So, you also chose to stay, didn't you?"

He turned around, smoked only a short cigarette left, and left Room 207.

Lumian admired the Trier night, listened to Messy Street's never-changing Late Night noise, and drank all the light beer in the cup.

He then sat down, closed the curtains, and began to write a letter to "Magician"Lady:

"There are new clues...

"There are now three directions of investigation:

"One is Deep Valley Monastery and Sacred Heart Monastery;

"Second, I used the possible close connection between myself and 'Hostel' to enter Underground, and went to the river where Jenna met the Monks. I walked forward purely based on instinct to see if I could go directly to 'Hostel';

"The third is to attack Gardner·Martin. Since 'Iron and Blood Cross Order' cooperates with Carbonari, and Carbonari has a certain connection with Deep Valley Monastery, then they may be in the same group and know something."

After sending the letter, Lumian paced back and forth in the room, feeling a little worried, irritable, and slightly excited.

Soon, "Magician" replied:

"We will be responsible for the first direction. I didn't mention the second direction just now because it will be very dangerous for you. Moreover, Gabriel's reminder to you has obviously been noticed. The people of 'Hostel' will definitely be on guard against this problem.

"You can try the third direction, but you need to be prepared before taking action against Gardner·Martin."

Silently, Crimson Flames appeared and ignited Paper in Lumian's hand. He planned to take a nap quickly to regain his mental state, and when daybreak, he would discuss the action plan with Franca, Jenna and Anthony.

Within No. 3 White Coat Street, Apartment 601.

Franca did not change into cotton Pajamas and pajamas, but was still dressed for going out.

Seeing her walking back and forth, Jenna asked in confusion, "What are you worried about?"

Franca sighed and said, "I plan to go find Gardner now. Although Charles didn't mention it just now, I can feel that he will suggest dealing with Gardner in the next two days. This is an obvious breakthrough. Hey, I have to seize the time to digest more Pleasure."

Jenna looked at Franca's profile, pursed his lips, and changed the topic:

"Don't you have a lot of Lover? One Gardner·Martin is missing, and there are others."

Franca couldn't help but clear his throat and said with a dry smile, "It's gone a long time ago, it's gone a long time ago. My current Lovers are just Gardner and his Lovers."

Jenna laughed and said in a joking tone, "Gardner·Martin is gone, you can find Charles."

"No, no, no!" Franca waved his hands repeatedly, "I can't pass my own psychological test."

She walked towards the door as she spoke:

"I'm going to Springwater Street."

Jenna suppressed his smile and solemnly reminded, "Don't show any abnormality later."

"I understand." Franca said with a serious expression, "I won't let Gardner feel like I'm doing hospice care."

After saying that, she opened the door and walked out.

Seeing her back disappear as the door closed, Jenna sighed softly.

She then turned her attention to Grayish-White Cloth Bag on Coffee Table and muttered silently, "I don't know when I will run into Will. Give him this bag..."

In the middle of the night, Jenna suddenly woke up from his dream.

She dreamed about Will, dreamed that he was in Underground, Quarry Cavern.

Although this is only Dream, Jenna clearly knows which area Underground corresponds to and how to get there.

Jenna nodded slowly with understanding, put on the Women mercenary clothes, carried Grayish-White Cloth Bag, walked out of Apartment 601, and entered Underground from the nearest entrance of White Coat Street.

She followed Dream's revelation and spiritual guidance, sometimes going down, sometimes turning, sometimes squeezing through gaps, and finally saw the Quarry Cavern in her dream.

In the middle of Mine, Will, who was dressed the same as during the day, was holding an orange Jack-o'-Lantern, waiting not too happily, as if a student who had finally escaped to play was caught by his parents and Teacher.

"Is this what you want?" Jenna handed over the Grayish-White Cloth Bag filled with various colors of Paint and multiple Paintbrush to Past.

After Will caught it, he directly took out the item called Lucky Gold Coin without opening the bag, and sighed and said, "This is your reward."

"This is your luck and your misfortune. It means that you will experience a lot and take on an important responsibility.

"You may not understand now, but one day you will understand."

Since Market District was brought into Calamity by Evil God believers, there is no way for me to retreat... Only in this dangerous Mysticism World Keep moving forward so that I can protect the people I want to protect... Jenna muttered silently, took the Loen Pound, looked at it a few times and said, "How to use it?"

"Just take it with you." Will waved his hand, carrying his Jack-o'-Lantern and disappearing into this Quarry Cavern's Depths.

Jenna put away Lucky Gold Coin and when he returned to the ground, he was surprised to find that he could not remember the way he came.

She had just arrived following the spiritual Guidance, but now she was completely awake and no longer had that feeling.

As a last resort, Jenna had to find its own way. The general principle is "upward".

After walking for a while, she suddenly felt the earth shaking violently, as if there was a big explosion in the distance.

Earthquake, or another Mutation? Jenna frowned slightly, speeding up the pace of identifying the road going up.

As soon as she turned around the rock wall in front of her, there was suddenly nothing under her feet.

The ground there was already sinking, and now it collapsed completely.

Amidst the crashing sound, Jenna couldn't hold back its momentum and fell towards Depths as the ground collapsed.

She quickly adjusted her body and used the ability of "Assassin" to make herself fall like a feather.
