Try Again
After listening to the cooperation content and the commitments Louis·Berri proposed, Juan·Oro once again doubted whether there was something wrong with his ears.
This is not because the other party's request is too excessive or too ridiculous, making people think he is telling a joke. On the contrary, Fishing Guild can achieve the cooperation he wants without any difficulty and without paying too much substantial benefits.
This was completely beyond Juan Oro's expectations.
Before he came to Louis·Berri, he was actually mentally prepared to be severely "blackmailed". After all, the other party and the forces behind him controlled very easily. Lato·Giaro showed enough strength to compete with the Fishing Guild. Who knew that Louis·Berri was much easier to talk to than he imagined.
This actually made Juan Oro feel that the other party was not interested in Deceit himself, and would suddenly fall out during the cooperation and break the promise.
Lumian looked at the deeply wrinkled old man quietly, without explaining his intentions, because an explanation might reveal his truest purpose, and it was not the time yet.
After considering it for a moment, Juan Oro sighed in an old-fashioned way:
"We can comply with your request."
But in the process of cooperation, we will also be more vigilant and prepared for backup.
Lumian smiled, stood up from the armchair suspended in nothingness, and extended his right hand to Juan Oro:
"A pleasure to work with."
Juan Oro shook hands with him and said, "You are not as crazy as you show..."
Lumian thought for a second, then slightly raised his lips and said, "Of course, I have always been a smart, Rationality, and polite adventurer."
Juan·Oro was not in the mood for small talk. He nodded to Louis·Berri and said, "Since you don't want our cooperation to be known to others, I should leave now, otherwise people will find out that I have been here."
Lumian thought for a while and said, "I will send my lurking companions to Milo Village tomorrow night. You should bring all the Sailor who survived Last Year Ritual to your main house in advance and take initial control."
"Okay." Juan·Oro did not refuse. This is one of the contents of the cooperation just discussed.
Seeing that the old man with a cane was about to turn around and leave, Lumian called out to him and said thoughtfully, "I am very trustworthy, and I promised Giorgia that I will definitely not tell anyone else what Commission said.
"But I want to ask you something, Paco Family Which 'Child of the Sea' has disappeared recently, or has not appeared for a long time?"
He hinted that his problem was related to Commission from the Paco Family.
Juan Oro's expression became serious. He thought about it for more than ten seconds and said, "Paco Family Those 'Child of the Sea's have appeared recently.
"At first I thought it was Rubio's mother Marta who had some strange changes that were not convenient for us to know. But in the end, she was fine, but she was seriously injured."
Paco Family No "Child of the Sea" is missing? Where did that Humanoid Lizard come from? Lumian was horrified when he heard it.
His first thought was, Paco Family was dealing with another "Child of the Sea", and his second thought was, had Paco Family's "Child of the Sea" been replaced?
The fake family members were active around in the appearance of the real owner, but the real owner became Humanoid Lizard and died at the hands of Great Adventurer?
When thinking about taking over, thinking about being active with the appearance of the real owner, it's hard not to think of the name Lumian: Sequence:
"Faceless"!
That is the Sequence corresponding to the "Lie" ear clip, and that is the previous Sequence of "Marionettist" and "Loki"!
Could it be that after "Loki" Resurrection, he came to Santa Port, quietly replaced an important member of the Paco Family, and lurked down. The first purpose was to set a trap for me, and the second was to do something during Sea-Praying Ritual and continue the unfinished business of Last Year?
Thinking of this, Lumian was both excited and excited, but also inevitably felt a certain amount of fear.
But in a second thought, he ruled out this possibility:
If "Loki" really replaced an important member of the Paco Family, then Humanoid Lizard would not have appeared at all. He could quietly solve the problem and clean up the traces without leaving such an obvious loophole!
In addition, Paco Family is not just "Child of the Sea" like Ruvio·Paco, but the old grandmother Marta is "Sea Maiden", who also has the residual power of the Sea, how could they not be able to deal with such a Humanoid Lizard whose strength level is not up to Mid-Sequence, so they have to take the risk of leaking the secret and invite Great Adventurer from the outside. Louis·Berri to handle?
Lumian is getting to know Sea-Praying Ritual more and more. After understanding these "Sea Kin", he is becoming more and more confused about the previous choice of the Paco Family. I believe there must be very important information for Concealment.
He looked at Juan Oro and organized the following words: "Can't the descendants of the same 'Sea Maiden' attack each other?"
"There is no such thing." Juan Oro denied Lumian's speculation.
Lumian deliberately said to himself, "Then why did Paco Family find me, an outsider, to deal with that Commission, instead of Beyonder at home?"
Juan Oro maintained the same calm expression just now:
"It's because of this confusion that I found someone to monitor Paco Family, and sent 'Little Demon' to question you. I must meet Marta."
You call that wrinkled little old man Monster "Little Demon"? Lumian nodded lightly and said, "Paco Family should be hiding quite a secret."
He didn't ask any more questions and watched Juan Oro turn around and walk away with his cane.
Soon, the "Void Starry Sky" around him subsided, and he "returned" to the Suite Master Bedroom with the curtains drawn, and "returned" to the armchair in front of Desk.
Lumian smiled, half-turned his body, held the curtain, and brushed it open.
The Sunlight in the morning shone in instantly, bright and brilliant.
The next night, Milo Village was in the Oro Family ancestral house, which was only one floor lower than the "Governor of the Sea" mansion.
This building, which has been renovated many times, coexists ancient and modern, old and trendy. Next to the blackened gray stone walls are pilasters made of concrete, and under the roof covered with seaweed are pieces of red tiles.
The door of the small living room on the first floor has been closed, leaving only Juan Oro, an old man with a black cane, his most valued grandson Fernandez·Oro, and seven or eight Milo Village villagers who were unconscious on the ground.
Suddenly, in the corner of the room, shadows floated, and a figure walked out.
The figure was just over 1.7 meters tall, with an ordinary face and no features. He wore a brown-green narrow-sleeved short coat on the upper body, a pair of Brownish Yellow-colored loose trousers on the lower body, strapless leather shoes with ventilation holes, and a low-top round-brimmed felt hat.
"Who are you?" Juan Oro asked in Intis language.
As one of Santa Port's most powerful Sea Merchants, he went overseas to do business many times between the ages of thirty and fifty. How could he not understand Intis language.
The man replied with fluent Highland Language:
"I am the companion of Louis·Berri. You can call me Charnem."
Unlike the soul type Beyonder that Lato met... Louis·Berri Sure enough, there was more than one companion hiding in the secret... Juan·Oro was somewhat glad that he chose to try to negotiate first.
As his thoughts turned, he glanced at Fernandez, whose face was still a little Paleness, knowing that he was not very happy in his heart.
It's normal for young people to always worry about who has suffered and who has taken advantage, forgetting what the most important purpose is.
"You can start asking them." Juan Oro said to the man who called himself Charnem, "Actually, over the past year, we have used many methods to determine whether they are lying, and even used the special characteristics of other Sea Kin, but all the results show that they told the whole truth and did not hide anything. The failure of Sea-Praying Ritual has nothing to do with them."
Charnem raised the corners of his mouth and responded with a smile, "How can you know if it works if you don't try it yourself?"
He walked up to the unconscious Sailor, took out a handful of Dagger, stabbed their fingertips one by one, and smeared the corresponding blood on different places on the back of his hand.
In such pain, those Sailor woke up one after another.
Chanem took out a mirror in front of them, smiled and said to them, "Your blood will tell me whether you are lying and whether it is you. If anyone deceives me, his blood will burn on the mirror, and he himself will have the same ending."
"Okay, you answer in turn."
As Charnem spoke, he calmly put the blood on the back of his hand onto Mirror, allowing all Sailor to see the blood seeping into the glass strangely.
The Sailors glanced at Juan Oro and understood that this was still an investigation into the reasons for Last Year's Sea-Praying Ritual failure, so they told all their experiences very skillfully, without omitting anything.
After Charnem listened, he asked thoughtfully, "Are Ilu and Sara responsible for transporting the lamb Sacrifice?"
"Yes." All Sailor replied in unison.
Charnem asked, "Both of them died in Sea-Praying Ritual?"
The surviving Sailors nodded one after another, indicating that the two companions were thrown off the ship in the huge waves of Ritual's failure, fell into the sea, and never surfaced again.
Charnem turned his head and looked at Juan·Oro:
"Are there any relics of Ilu and Sara? Clothes that have been worn many times, toothbrushes that have never been discarded, etc., etc.
"I want to try to summon their spirits. Although it has been Past a year, their spirits must have dissipated a lot and can no longer remember valid information, but the state of their spirits itself will also reveal some things, such as deep resentment and hatred."
Juan Oro shook his head:
"We tried it after Sea-Praying Ritual, but we couldn't summon their spirits. The spirits of people swallowed by the furious Sea will also be swallowed."
Charnem smiled and said, "Try again, you won't lose anything if you give it a try."
Juan Oro thought about it, and immediately ordered Fernandez to get the Ilu diseased teeth and Sara clothes that had been used by Spiritism.
Then, they saw Charnem arrange Altar and hold Summoning Ritual:
"Me!
"I call in my name:
"Sailor of Santa Port Milo Village, a man named Ilu Edela, the owner of this Teeth..."
The Wind Sound was blowing, and the candlelight of Altar was dyed with a dark green color.
A vague figure quickly emerged.
Success? Success? Fernandez looked above the candlelight with dilated pupils.
The figure vaguely looked like Ilu, but it did not have the signs of drowning such as being wet all over and having swollen skin Paleness. Instead, the face was covered with blood afterimages, and there was an obvious wound on the forehead.
This Wraith's eyes are full of Pain and hatred.
