Too dirty
Hearing Lumian's words, Franca became extremely curious:
What is it that we cannot see?
"Are you sure you want to see this? I'm afraid it will be too Impact your sensibilities," Lumian asked jokingly.
Franca pointed to herself and said with a laugh, "Me? I'm not a minor. I'm very mature. What's there to be afraid of? Heh, my knowledge is far richer than yours, little brother!"
Jenna nodded secretly, indicating that Franca was right.
Lumian didn't try to persuade him any further, left the Apartment, and went to the room he had previously rented using a fake Identity Documents to monitor him.
Lugano is living here with Ludwig.
Franca, leading Jenna and Anthony behind, pursed her lips and muttered, "I thought it was something big, but it's just looking for your ' Godson,' right? And all this talk about a psychological Impact..."
Lumian first gestured for Lugano to step aside, then took out two bloody objects from the "Traveler’s Bag".
When pieced together, they form a human shape.
Lumian looked at Ludwig without Change his expression, pointing to the two pieces of flesh from the "Madwoman's" Corpse and asked, "Can we eat them?"
Eat... Franca was stunned.
Her gaze swept back and forth between the two gruesome Corpse and Ludwig's boy-like appearance a few times, before she suddenly felt nauseous, as if her mind had been Corruption by the imagined scene.
Yes, Lumian's "Godson" can gain corresponding knowledge or abilities after consuming a certain creature!
Humans are biological beings, and memory is a form of knowledge!
Franca couldn't help but gag, deeply regretting her decision to come and witness the "cannibalism."
Moreover, she knew the person who was eaten; she had dealt with her before—the "Madwoman"!
Jenna's face also scrunched up, as if she was suppressing a sudden surge of stomach acid. Anthony, a veteran who had witnessed countless scenes of carnage, also subconsciously frowned at this moment.
Ludwig examined the two bloodied pieces of Corpse Lumian was carrying for a moment, then slowly shook his head and said, "Too filthy."
"Dirty?" It means that That One Celestial Worthy's Corruption is so severe that even you wouldn't dare to eat it, for fear of causing problems. "Alas, I can't get more information about ' Hisoka '..." Lumian regretfully threw the two pieces of the "Madwoman's " Corpse on the ground, condensed a ball of Reddish-White Fireball, and threw it Past.
The Fireball didn't explode; it simply clung to the "Madwoman's" Corpse, Burning and compressing it until it turned into charred dust.
Amidst the leaping flames and the pervasive aroma of roasting, Franca and Jenna both quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Lumian pulled up a chair and sat down, then said to Ludwig, who was munching on a small cake, "Wasn't that man's arm dirty?"
This refers to "Loki".
"A little bit, the dirtiest place isn't on the arm." Ludwig said it as if he were commenting on which fish was poisonous and how to eat it.
Lumian then got to the point:
"What did you get from that man's arm?"
"A portion of knowledge," Ludwig said, munching on a sponge cake covered in whipped cream, as if to say, "Don't bother me while I'm eating."
Lumian not to see and asked directly, "What kinds are there?"
Ludwig answered, sometimes clearly, sometimes vaguely. "His Sequence Knowledge of that Pathway... and two more terms... one is Dylan... the other is Auville..."
"Dylan, the name of that ancient Ancient Castle, ' Loki '? And what is Auville?" Lumian's spirits lifted, and he interrupted Ludwig:
"Besides the term itself, is there any related knowledge?"
Ludwig took the opportunity to eat another bite of cake, chewed and swallowed before saying, "No, but... these two words seem to be related. Auville should be a place name, and Dylan is the name of Castle."
Connected together... place names... Dilan Ancient Castle in Auville? And where is Auville? Lumian turned his head to look at Franca, Jenna, and Anthony, and found that they all slowly shook their heads, indicating that they didn't know either and had never heard of it.
After a moment's thought, Lumian said in a deep voice, "Our most important task next is to use our respective channels to find intelligence related to Auville and Dilan."
After receiving a "no problem" reply from Franca and the others, Lumian inquired about Ludwig again:
Is there anything else?
"He is quite spiritually rich and of decent quality. He doesn't like drinking strong liquor or heavy drinking, but only sips champagne and occasionally has some coffee. He is a loyal supporter of tea, is in good health, has regular bowel movements, urinates normally, and hates the smell of the Washroom..." Ludwig recalled the information he had received from that half-arm.
Just as Franca was listening intently, and Lumian was about to interrupt, Ludwig finally uttered another piece of valuable knowledge:
"He owns a Dilan Ancient Castle, but he doesn't live there. He only goes back occasionally. He's not the master there yet, and many areas are not open to him. He recently opened a room and got a Dark-Gold Mask."
"That mask will grant him immense power, but wearing it will also lead to some terrifying events."
"That Dark-Gold Mask was part of the collection of the original owner of the Dilan Ancient Castle? Or a relic of a former leader of the Esoteric Order?" Lumian nodded thoughtfully.
This wasn't particularly important information to him, since the Dark-Gold Mask had already been given to Mr. K and he didn't need to worry about it.
After questioning Ludwig for a while longer and confirming that they hadn't gotten any more information, Franca, Jenna, and Anthony prepared to return to Trier.
Of course, this was a gift from Lumian, Franca was reluctant to use one of the "Seven-Stone Bracelet" right now.
"Oh, right," Lumian said, looking at her for a moment, "Let's talk to the people from the ' Eternal Blazing Sun ' Church and see if they're willing to exchange the information and story of that Humanoid Sealed Artifact Humanoid Sealed Artifact for it. We'll do our best to make this deal happen."
When the "Wandering Poet" said he didn't know if he could be considered human, Lumian realized that he was very similar to that Humanoid Sealed Artifact, except that he still retained his Rationality and clarity, and had a relatively independent Destiny. Otherwise, he could be called a walking "0" level Humanoid Sealed Artifact. Therefore, he became curious about that Humanoid Sealed Artifact and wanted to know what had happened to her and why she had become the way she was now.
Franca nodded first, then instinctively said, "But, uh, That One Lady only said it was possible to return it, not certain."
"We're just trying to facilitate the deal; we're not guaranteed to succeed," Lumian chuckled.
He quickly escorted Franca, Jenna, and Anthony back to the Trier Memorial Hall District, then entered Aquinas Street and strolled slowly among the citizens still immersed in the afterglow of the celebrations, heading towards the Solo Hotel.
The fifth floor of the hotel had collapsed by more than half, and the Fourth Floor was severely damaged. The Boss, Ota, looked at the scene and felt both sad and helpless, to the point that he wanted to cry but could not.
Noelia of the Order of Abundance appeared beside Louis Berri, the Great Adventurer who was gazing at the Solo Hotel, and said in a very formal tone, "Your companion said you would take responsibility for the compensation."
Lumian took 10,000 Gold Riso directly from the "Traveler’s Bag" and handed it to Noelia.
Noelia glanced at his black Coin Pouch and exclaimed sincerely, "Good stuff!"
The Combat Nuns then began counting the compensation:
"Riso? That's enough to build two hotels like that!"
"How generous! No wonder he's the Great Adventurer who recently received a bounty of 300,000 Gold Riso."
Lumian ignored Noelia's teasing and continued, "This is payment from the Commission from the Paco Family."
"The Paco Family..." Noelia fell silent.
The Paco Family's matriarch, current head of the family, and his wife all died in this conflict.
Lumian continued walking, strolling through the crowd as if taking a leisurely walk.
In the Twilight, he heard singing, the cries of Seabirds, and the excited chatter of the surrounding citizens discussing the events of the past few days.
"Did you see that this morning? The Seabirds all came to pay homage to the ' Governor of the Sea '!"
"Was this year's Sea-Praying Ritual so successful?"
"Yes, at that time, many Vines grew wildly, and many people Past from joy. This was the Mother Goddess's approval of the Sea-Praying Ritual!"
"No, no, that means a bumper harvest, it means that this year's catch will fill boat after boat!"
Praise be to the earth, praise be to the Mother of All Things!
Praise be to the ' Governor of the Sea '!
"..."
Although Lumian didn't know what methods the "Earth Mother" Church had used to make the citizens regard the large-scale Mysticism that morning as a miracle, he could feel the joy and pleasure in everyone's hearts.
He mused to himself, "I wonder if the Remaining Fishing Guild Commissioners have decided who will be the fake ' Governor of the Sea.' Hmm, the real Simon Giaro is the best candidate. However, it doesn't matter who it is this year. I've Steal all the power leaking from the Spaceship. For the next year, or even two, this Sea Area won't experience frequent Calamity, and the marine life will multiply faster because it's being 'irrigated'..."
"Heh, in a sense, I am now the true ' Governor of the Sea,' for a limited time of one week..."
Amidst the joyful parade crowd and numerous street vendors, Lumian randomly chose a Bar and ordered a glass of undiluted Manzan Wine and a large glass of locally made deep Golden Wheat Beer.
He placed the glass of Manzan Wine on the opposite side of the small round table, picked up his own beer, Past it against the manzan's, and then smiled to himself, saying, "Did you see it? Did you hear it? Their dancing, their singing, and the sound of fish breeding."
"Isn't this the Future you've been hoping for?"
After saying that, Lumian gulped down a large mouthful of deep Golden beer.
