The possible informant
The failure of Last Year Sea-Praying Ritual made that piece of Sea Area Mutation? Lumian After reading the content on the paper, such an interpretation naturally formed in my mind.
He looked at the Note Paper in his hand and vaguely smelled a familiar fragrance.
After a brief recollection, Lumian remembered the source of this smell, which was Mrs. Paco Family Giorgia's perfume.
"You are inexperienced, or you didn't cover it up on purpose, just to tell me that this is the information sent by the Paco Family?" Lumian said to himself silently, thinking of the unknown person Paco Family Humanoid Lizard appeared out of nowhere, thinking of Ruvio·Paco's seriously injured mother Marta, and their anomalies in related matters.
The core problem is caused by Mutation of the Sea? Mutation of the Sea makes Paco Family and Beyonder very weak, and causes a certain Ordinary Person who does not have the bloodline of the Sea to become Humanoid Lizard? They don't want other Sea Kin to know about this matter, and they temporarily lack the strength to deal with that Humanoid Lizard, so they can only find outside adventurers to solve it? Lumian has a new understanding of the contradictions of the Paco Family and Commission.
And Mutation of the Sea is something that neither Lato·Giaro nor Juan·Oro mentioned.
They just said that Soothing without Sea-Praying Ritual, this Sea Area is much more violent than usual, "Death Navigator" is leaving its own Territory more frequently, and "Child of the Sea"'s strength has declined.
In their view, this is a normal, reasonable situation that can be predicted in advance, and it obviously has nothing to do with Mutation.
"Did Mutation only happen to the Paco Family, or did Juan·Oro and Lato·Giaro him We deliberately concealed this matter, and didn't even tell each other, so we were on guard against each other?" Lumian was making guesses while watching the note being swallowed up by Crimson Flames in the palm of his hand.
He is definitely more inclined to the second possibility - unless Paco Family is special, the impact of the Sea Mutation should be widespread and universal, and will not be just for them.
From this, Lumian can probably understand the disgust when Ruvio·Paco mentions "Sea Maiden" and other things:
From the moment he knew what "Sea Maiden" was and who his real "parents" were, he should have fallen into self-loathing and hatred of Sea-Praying Ritual as a whole, and would rather lose his family's inheritance rights. I don't want to marry another "Sea Maiden". When Sea's Mutation has had an impact on the entire Paco Family, this emotion has reached its peak.
This makes Lumian wonder if the potential collaborator of Norfie is Ruvio·Paco.
Anyway, with the resources and status Paco Family currently has, they can still have a good life even without Sea-Praying Ritual.
Lugano stood nearby and saw his employer fell into deep thought after reading the note. He suddenly felt a little nervous and panicked.
Isn't something going to happen again?
Lumian raised his head, looked at Lugano, and said thoughtfully, "Although my Highland Language has not yet reached the level of 'knowing', it is necessary for daily use. Vocabulary, I have basically mastered it, and with the body language, I can live a normal life in Santa Port. Moreover, the people I really want to contact and communicate with all understand Intis language.
"I can pay your balance now and give you a chance to get a free 'Teleportation' back to Trier."
Lugano shook his head instinctively:
"You can't take Ludwig with you when you are doing things. If I leave now, who will take care of him?"
I don't know who is taking care of who... Lumian stared at Lugano for two seconds, and for the first time, I really felt that there was something wrong with the translator:
Having already been attacked, and faced with possible risks, he actually subconsciously rejected the proposal to terminate his employment contract now and send him to a safe place!
This will not leave him Felkine!
Judging from Lugano's usual performance and Personality, Lumian thinks that the possibility of him accepting the final payment and leaving Santa Port is quite high, but the reality is not like this.
Maybe, he himself didn't know why he did this, but just made the decision "instinctively"...Lumian nodded invisibly and stopped mentioning the matter of paying the balance to end the employment.
Milo Village, inside the Oro Family ancestral house that has been renovated many times.
Juan Oro was sitting by the window, smoking Hookah, looking at the orange-red Sun that gradually fell below the sea level, and thinking about Sea-Praying Ritual, which was coming in more than a week.
Suddenly, he turned his head and cast his gaze on the shadow near the door.
The darkness there squirmed, and a Green-Eyed Man wearing Golden-yellow Straw Hat, a white shirt and Black Waistcoat grew out. It was Great Adventurer Louis·Berri.
"Why are you here again?" Juan Oro sighed and said in Intis language.
Lumian laughed, pulled up a chair and sat down at the edge of the sunset that shone into the room:
"I have something else to ask you, and I want to inform you in advance about a certain action."
Juan narrowed his eyes slightly:
"What do you want to do again?"
"I want to sneak into the mansion of 'Governor of the Sea' tonight. If I am not discovered, I will check out the rooms where Night-Watch Ritual is held. If I am discovered, I will force my way out. This is in line with my radical image and the purpose of showing it, isn't it? I won't let others suspect that we are secretly cooperating." Lumian smiled and told about his plan.
Juan·Oro had an inexplicable feeling that the other party was threatening him, but he could not find any evidence, because what Louis·Berri said made sense.
He took a breath Hookah, remained silent for a few seconds and said, "What exactly do you want to ask?"
Lumian laughed:
"I want to see what the Ring Wedding the Sea looks like and what patterns are engraved on it.
"I know that you have only made the ring embryo and have not completed the corresponding Ritual and added special features to it, but I believe that you who have made Subdeacon eleven times and Deacon more times must remember those patterns, symbols and structures."
Juan Oro's back gradually straightened, and his tone became solemn:
"What do you want to do?"
The afterglow of the setting sun in the room suddenly dimmed, as if being pulled into another space.
Lumian said without realizing it, "What's so secret about this? Don't you know that the shape, pattern and structure of that Ring have been leaked for a long time?"
Juan·Oro stared:
"When did it happen?"
Lumian raised his eyebrows:
"Didn't my companion tell you the real reason for Sea-Praying Ritual's failure?"
"He just helped us confirm that the Ilu on the ship was fake." Juan Oro had a vague guess.
Lumian smiled and shook his head. Starting from the fake Ring that was ordered from Torelle, and the Lamb Sacrifice that was sent on board after Bribery, he talked about his and others' guesses about the capabilities of the fake Ilu and their reconstruction of the whole thing.
Juan Oro did not interrupt, his expression gradually turned gloomy.
After a moment, he said in a hoarse voice, "Not many people know the details of 'Sea Queen's Ring' and know that Sea Kin rarely checks the internal conditions of Sacrifice's body. Every one of them is real 'Child of the Sea' who has participated in core Ritual many times, they are all still alive now...Ilu and Sara they don't know..."
Hearing Juan Oro's almost gritted words, an idea flashed in Lumian's mind, and Huo Ran had a guess:
"Ultraman" is the person inside the Fishing Guild, the "Child of the Sea" who has received many power gifts, and is even a member with a certain status!
Of course, it may also be that he has controlled a similar person in advance and has close "cooperation" with the other person.
If not, how could "April Fool's Day" know the specific appearance of that Ritual Ring, and how could Precision take advantage of the "supervision" loophole of Sea-Praying Ritual?
Well, although "I Have a Friend" said "Ultraman" is the Beyonder of 'Sun' Pathway, it is also "Child of the Sea" is not inconsistent. Even if he becomes "Child of the Sea" first and then takes Potion from "Sun" Pathway, there should be no problem, "Child of the Sea"The power points to Starry Sky, and Sun and Starry Sky are always a good match..."April Fool's Day"Destroy The real purpose of Sea-Praying Ritual is to prepare for "Ultraman" or his "collaborators" to completely control Seabed's power and that Palace? Lumian's ideas gradually became clearer.
He looked at Juan Oro, smiled in a relaxed manner and said, "It's not like there's a mole. How could Sea-Praying Ritual be so easily destroyed?"
Juan Oro has had similar suspicions for the past year, and now he is completely unable to refute Lumian's statement.
He thought with an ugly face, and after a while he returned to normal and said, "We have to find out the traitor before the official Sea Sacrifice..."
Having said this, Juan Oro looked at Lumian:
"There may be some things that require your cooperation at that time."
Yo, have you started Fishing too? Lumian responded with a smile, "No problem."
Juan·Oro put down Hookah and left his seat.
He walked to Desk, took out Paper and Pen, and began to draw it.
Nearly ten minutes later, the old man staggered up to Lumian and handed Paper to Past.
Lumian took a quick look and found that there were six patterns on it, representing the front, left, right, back, inside front and inside back of "Sea Queen's Ring" respectively. Each pattern had multiple complex and mysterious symbols and patterns surrounding them.
"It's useless if you get it, it won't have any effect." Juan Oro said in a low voice, "You have to have the corresponding Sea Kins use their own specialities to engrave them on Ring and erode them for six hours, in order to please Sea and get her recognition."
Lumian nodded and said, "I never thought about making a replica."
Just give it to "Magician" Lady for interpretation.
He turned to ask, "This is the Ring-Making link of Night-Watch Ritual? Are there no other steps?"
"There is another step, which is for a Deacon to take the made Ring into Basement, place it in front of the patterns and symbols that represent our Ancestors, and let it sit for an hour. This is a tribute to Ancestors, just like greeting the elders before a wedding." Juan Oro briefly introduced.
Lumian thought for a moment and said, "Can you also draw the patterns and symbols that represent you Ancestors?"
Juan·Oro is back in front of Desk.
This time, it only took him two minutes to draw it.
Lumian took it and took a look and found that there were some scattered lines and arcs on it, with many things missing in the middle, and the original appearance could not be seen.
"It might be easier to relate to it if you watch it live." Juan Oro sighed again.
Lumian nodded:
"Then I'll sneak into the 'Governor of the Sea' mansion tonight."
Juan·Oro said "hmm":
"Be careful with the Sea Kin there. They each have their own special features and may not be very strong, but they can restrain some of your abilities."
Under the light of Late Night, Crimson Moonlight.
Lumian appeared near the building that looked like Church.
