West Balam

Lumian I heard from Lugano that ships that deviate from the safe channel may disappear mysteriously, and after a few years they will occasionally appear at night, with no lights and no people.

This should be the case now.

In the past, Lumian might have curiously "Teleportation" Past, taking advantage of the fact that Three-Masted Sailing Ship re-entered the safe channel to confirm its internal status, but after experiencing Hunt Island After the Devil legend, he felt that one more thing was better than one less thing. As long as the unmanned ships traveling in the dark did not show the tendency to attack, and there was no sense that danger would break out at any time, he could regard this as the unique scenery of the Berserk Sea and just watch.

The overall brown ship gradually moved away, with only the swell of its sails and no other movement.

Suddenly, Lumian, who has excellent eyesight, saw a face in the open Cavern at a window on the top floor of Cabin, looking quietly outside, looking this way.

The skin on the face was dry and Paleness, tightly wrapped around the bones, lacking the sense of flesh and blood. Linen-Colored's long hair hung down from both sides, like clumps of withered grass. The two eyeballs had long been lost, and the remaining positions were filled with deep darkness.

It looked like it came from the head of a mummy, but the lips were bright and extremely bright, as if they had just applied lipstick to themselves.

Lumian intuitively believes that this withered face Paleness belongs to Women, at least it was Women in life.

He did not raise his right hand and greeted the other party enthusiastically. He quietly watched the ancient ship Three-Masted Sailing Ship sail out of the safe channel and sailed into the dark night, watching the mummy face with blood-red lips and Pitch-Black eyes melt into the darkness.

Only then did he wave his hand and say with a smile, "Goodbye!

"Never again!"

He helped Franca and the others think about a plan to deal with Moran Avni for a while, and finally decided to wait for "007" to give more information before in-depth planning.

"Conspirer" is not Visionary. A conspiracy cannot be constructed out of thin air and must be supported by sufficient information.

When Lumian woke up at dawn, "Berry" drove out of the Berserk Sea in the thick fog filled with the smell of death.

Ahead is a blue and clear ocean, and Sunlight is fierce at high altitude.

The next day, "Berry" did not enter Port Berens at the northernmost point of West Balam, and continued sailing southwest, finally arriving at Port Pylos at 4 p. m.

This port is located at Matani Province and is ruled by a general named Quilariel.

This place was originally a colony of the Republic of Intis, but after the war a few years ago, the Intis colonists withdrew from the city and surrounding areas, and various forces from the Kingdom of Feneport, who had good relations with General Qualaril, entered one after another.

Lumian's target "Hisoka" did not appear in Port Pylos, but the two pranks he participated in were both located in Matani Province, once at the edge of Port Pylos and closest to the jungle Tizamo Town, and once at the southernmost point of Matani Province at Gold-Mining City Devis.

While Lumian unbuttoned the second button on Flax's shirt, he said to Lugano in a self-deprecating tone, "I feel like I am being repelled by the winter and have been moving around in the hot environment."

Before Trier entered late autumn, he arrived at Santa Port, where autumn was also relatively hot and Sunlight was very abundant. When Santa Port began to turn cooler, he arrived at Port Coria. That One In the tropics mentioned in Older Sister, there are only rainy seasons and dry seasons. There is no winter, and the lowest temperature is around 20 degrees Celsius.

Now, Trier and other places have entered the mid-winter season, but Southern Continent is just the opposite, in the hot summer.

This makes the black woolen coat specially prepared by Lumian and the warm Gehrman windbreaker useless.

"Because we go all the way south in autumn." Lugano still has a say in the weather and seasons.

Lumian put on Golden-Yellow Straw Hat, held Ludwig's hand, and walked along the gangway to the port.

He unabashedly displayed the characteristics of Great Adventurer Louis·Berri.

Lumian actually planned to change his strategy at the beginning, sneaking into Matani Province with another identity, investigating the two pranks inconspicuously, and finding "Hisoka", but after Franca, " After Hisoka"'s daily performance was described to Anthony·Reid in detail, the character profile created by "Hypnotist" included the judgment "Aggressiveness is very strong" among the first few items.

So, Lumian changed his mind and resumed the business of "Fishing".

However, he felt that the possibility of success was not high. With the lesson of Sea Sacrifice Ritual, "Loki" survived again and could pass on information. "Hisoka" should have some knowledge of the forces behind Concealment Only with full understanding, and with the resources and energy that "April Fool's Day" has shown before, they obviously do not have the strength to compete with "Tarot Club", and there is more than just "Tarot Club" behind Lumian.

If he were "Hisoka", faced with this situation, Lumian would definitely choose to wait patiently, for a month or two, until the enemy who came for revenge became impatient and started to make mistakes, and when the strong men behind him could no longer protect him, he would launch a surprise attack.

"Don't make a preset plan first, find clues and then consider it." Lumian muttered silently to himself, and walked out of the port with a large number of passengers and arrived at the Public Carriage station.

There are also many Hired Carriage and Pitch-Black or vermillion Coffin parked nearby.

Coffin? Lumian Although I have read a lot of travel books about West Balam's customs and customs, when I actually saw Coffin parked on the roadside, I still felt uncontrollably absurd.

Before the invasion of the Northern Continent countries, and before East and West Balam was artificially divided, Balam Empire worshiped "Death God"-this is also That One "Death Emperor" in "War of the Four Emperors". Therefore, people here valued the coffin and loved the coffin. They regarded it as an item that could bring peace and calm and bring Death God favor. They usually travel, lie in it, and are carried by people or pulled by horses or unicorn sheep.

Of course, this is a means of transportation for people with certain financial resources. Ordinary people would not want to leave Coffin alone.

After a brief pause, Lumian said to Lugano and Ludwig with great interest, "Want to take Coffin? I plan to give it a try."

"I, I'll forget it." Lugano felt that lying down Coffin was not a good symbol and he couldn't accept it.

Ludwig turned his attention to nearby street vendors.

The aromas of corn and potatoes are intertwined, making every passerby's saliva secretion become more intense.

"You guys are so boring." Lumian laughed and cursed, walked up to four locals with messy black hair and Deep Brown skin, raised his right hand and pointed at Pitch-Black Coffin placed under the shade of a tree.

"How much?" Lugano asked in a rather awkward Dutanian before Lumian could.

He does have some talent for languages. In less than a month from the time he set off from Santa Port to the time he arrived at Port Pylos, he could barely use Dutanian to communicate with people. Of course, he was limited to the most daily and shortest words and phrases.

Naked | A local who was naked and wearing Flax pants replied Dutanian:

"Near place, 40 Kopek, far place, 1 Felkine."

He saw that the inquirer was a foreigner and did not quote the price in the local currency "Delixi" - "Delixi" is the Intis people's name for the local currency, which means copper plates.

It's quite cheap. This is the Coffin that can be carried by four people. The one that can be carried by eight people should be much more expensive... Haha, you can actually use Felkine and Kopek directly. It is indeed the former Intis that was lost just a few years ago. colony...Lumian's mastery of Dutanian is actually better than Lugano, because he used the only mid-level Language Comprehension on the ship Charm.

It will naturally be easier and more effective to learn this language when you understand Dutanian.

As for the problem of Charm being consumed, Lumian doesn't care at all. In his opinion, items are for use. There is no pity or pity. Being able to play a role is the most important. It cannot be like some Miser who have worked hard all their lives and are not willing to spend this or that. In the end, they die. All the money they saved is cheap for others. Anyway, they are really in urgent need Language Comprehension Charm, just go to "Curly-Haired Baboon Research Society" to buy it. If you really can't find the time for the party, you can also go to "Teleportation" to buy it from Lenburg in various cities, and buy it from Church of Knowledge.

"Okay." Lumian nodded to Lugano and said, "Let's go to Aurela Hotel."

After Lugano paid 1 Felkine, the local who quoted the price just opened the cover of the thin Coffin, revealing the interior covered with thick dark red cloth and containing a harder neck pillow.

Lumian took off Golden-Yellow Straw Hat and lay down happily, feeling a sudden chill on his body.

During the hot season, this effectively dissipates humidity.

Is it because the Coffin is made of wood or is painted with black paint to protect it from the sun, or is it because it has been placed under the shade of a tree? It is just like entering the Morgue in the summer, quite comfortable...Lumian looked at the thin Coffin cover covering it, and felt that the shadow expanded rapidly, and finally ruled the world.

In his ears, the sounds outside also became blurry.

Coffin was immediately lifted up and moved forward with a slight shake.

Lumian There was darkness in his sight, and the surroundings were gloomy and cool. He had an inexplicable illusion that he was walking towards death and touching death.

"Excluding the psychological discomfort, it's actually quite good, but it's easy to fall asleep..." He evaluated this kind of transportation in a good mood, "And it's not suitable for men and women to ride together. It would be more embarrassing. Haha, I wonder if the 'romantic' Intis people have ever had a love affair in this state?"

Nearly two quarters of an hour later, this Coffin stopped in front of Aurela Hotel.

Lumian walked out of Coffin and saw a small, artificial Deep Valley.

Rows of rooms made of gray and black boulders go deep around the inner wall of "Deep Valley" until they reach the bottom.

This is Port Pylos, the most famous Aurela Hotel.

It once belonged to a certain Descendants, Orella Aegis, of the Balam royal family. It was built with the purpose of getting closer to death, and was later occupied by Intis colonists.

After the Feynapotter people came here, they felt that it had the symbolic meaning of going deep into the earth and returning to the earth, so they transformed it into a large Hotel.
