Chapter 548: The Order

Chapter 548: The Order (Please give me double monthly tickets at the end of the month) Battle Sister? Lumian was surprised, but suddenly he felt like he was returning to an "orderly" society. In any country in the Northern Continent, wild Extraordinary People are unwelcome and will be controlled or even captured. This is unlike colonies such as Port Farin, where famous adventurers can swagger down the streets and show off their experiences in bars without worrying too much about being visited by official Extraordinary People. "Boss, is this dangerous?" Lugano asked nervously. He is also a wild Beyonder and has been in a state of fear for a long time. Lumian smiled and replied in a boastful manner: “It depends on their attitude.” The underlying meaning is that they are the ones in danger. Lumian then made a joke: "Aren't you longing for the Battle Sisters? Now that they've come to you, shouldn't you be very happy?" Imagination and reality are not the same thing... Seeing that his boss had no intention of escaping by "teleporting" him, Lugano went downstairs nervously and invited the combat nuns up. The leader was the one Lumian had seen before: Most of her naturally curly thick black hair was tucked into a two-cornered hat with a black background and white stripes. Her light blue eyes were bright and lively, and her eyebrows were thick and bold, giving her a unique flavor.

The woman in leather armor looked at Lumian, not too harsh, and even asked in a gentle tone: "Are you the adventurer Louis Berry?" Lumian nodded: "you are?" The battle nun with a gorgeous appearance smiled and replied: “I’m Sister Noelia of the Convent of the Abundant, in charge of a combat team. "Praise the earth, praise the mother of all things!" Noelia raised her hands up to the sky, with her legs slightly apart. Seeing that Noelia and other Battle Sisters of the Order of the Abundant were not as arrogant as he thought, and that they viewed Beyonders as evil creatures, Lumian smiled: "Ma'am, what do you want from me?" Noelia smiled and said: "You are the great adventurer who hunted down the 'Devil Wizard'. If we didn't know you were in Santa Port, nothing would have happened. But now that we know, we have to come and communicate with you and remind you to abide by the corresponding order." “What order?” Lumian asked predictably, holding a golden straw hat. The attitudes of these battle sisters were so good that he even doubted whether they were official Beyonders. Not only did they not arrest him and others directly, but they also did not use words like "warning" and "caution". Is this the difference between the Earth Mother Church and other churches? More emphasis on motherhood and more respect for life? Noelia said with a beautiful curve on her rosy lips: "In other cities, we will directly warn you and put you under control. If you dare to resist, you will be arrested or even cleared out. “But this is Santa Port, and there are many sea merchants here. They have a real need to protect their goods from pirates, and we don’t have that many people to escort them, so we tacitly allow them to hire some Beyonders as bodyguards. "Mr. Louis Berry, you can move freely in Santa Port, but you need to abide by three rules: "First, you cannot go inland at will or go to other cities without our permission. Second, you cannot hold any ceremonies in Santa Port, you cannot take potions to advance, and you cannot conduct experiments in the occult. Third, you must not use your abilities unless necessary and do not create riots or disasters. "Of course, if you come to Santa Port again, you need to register with us first." It was a reasonable request... and it was a request made by the ruling church, so it was not excessive at all. It was simpler and easier than getting a gun license in places like Farin Port. Of course, not getting a license in Farin Port was not a big deal. If no one reported it and no one directly encountered the official, there would be no problem... Lumian nodded gently and said: "no problem." At this point, his thoughts suddenly changed and he chuckled: "But your Santa Port is not safe either. I encountered a monster last night..."

He roughly recounted how the little monster disguised itself as a demon to intimidate him, without hiding the fact that he had accepted a commission from Georgia, but he did not say what the commission was specifically. Noelia listened attentively and said without any surprise: "We will take care of it. Try not to get involved in the affairs of the Fisheries Guild in the future. Their internal problems will be resolved internally." Does that mean that the Church of the Earth Mother Goddess doesn't care much about the internal disputes of the Fisheries Guild, and allows them to be completely autonomous? What does this have to do with the Sea Prayer Ceremony? Lumian smiled and said: "I try not to get involved, but I reserve the right to fight back in self-defense." Noelia didn't say anything else, put away her smile, and walked towards the door with the battle nuns. In just two or three steps, she drew out a straight sword from her back, half turned her body, and slashed at Lumian. This series of movements was smooth and natural, and only took the blink of an eye. Lumian stared at the sword light, neither dodging nor raising his hand to block it. With a swish, the straight sword brushed past the tip of his nose and pointed downwards to the ground. Noelia smiled brightly and nodded with satisfaction: "You are indeed a great adventurer. Your vision, judgment, and courage are all outstanding." She then turned around and began to teach the battle sisters who followed her a lesson: "This is a real man. Those who only know how to flex their muscles and swing their swords can only be called male beasts." As they were talking, several battle nuns left the suite that Lumian rented. Lumian raised his right hand and rubbed his chin, feeling something strange. Here, women's scrutiny of men was openly exposed to the sun, which made him a little uncomfortable. After Lugano watched Noelia and the other nuns leave, he lowered his voice and said: "Boss, did a little monster really come to warn you last night?" "Yes, if it was you who completed Georgia's commission, it might not just be a warning." Lumian put on the golden straw hat and walked towards the door, saying casually, "We have an obligation to remind our employer that someone is secretly spying on their family." Lugano was stunned for a moment, then he understood what Lumian meant, took Ludwig by the hand, and followed closely. ………… 21 Saint-Lana Street, in the living room of a suite on the fifth floor. Lumian met Georgia again. The lady, wearing a colorful dress with many patterns, glanced at the little boy who ate more than she had imagined, and then turned her gaze to the great adventurer Louis Berry: "What's matter?" Lugano translated very professionally. "A monster came to threaten me last night, but I drove it away." Lumian briefly described the appearance and performance of the little monster. After listening to Lugano's retelling, Georgia did not show any obvious surprise. She thought for a few seconds and said: "Just a moment."

She left the maid and the butler behind and went into the inner room. After a few minutes, she came out with a man's arm around her. The man was in his forties, tall, with a thin face. His eyes were a light blue that was almost transparent. His hair was gray-black and slightly curled, draped over his shoulders like an artist. His appearance was not good or bad, but very distinctive, and you would never forget him once you met him. "This is my husband Rubio Paco," Giorgia introduced. The shareholder of the fishing company and the member of the fishing guild? Lumian has learned a lot about the Paco family through Lugano in the past two days. Rubio's father was originally a relatively wealthy fisherman who co-owned a boat. After marrying Marta, who used to be a "maid of the sea", he gradually became rich. Not only did he manage a fishing company for a period of time, but he also became a committee member of the oldest local guild, the Fisheries Guild. Not long after the sea prayer ceremony ended last year, the old man passed away. With the strong support of his grandmother Marta, Rubio inherited his father's position and became the youngest member of the Fisheries Guild. Of course, he no longer holds a specific position in the Santa Port Fisheries Company and only enjoys the voting rights and dividend rights of a shareholder. This middle-aged man used to be very rebellious. He should have followed his parents' arrangement and married a "maid of the sea", but he remained single until he was in his early thirties, and then married Giorgia, the daughter of a textile merchant. If it were another big family, the grandmother would definitely have forcibly stopped this matter and even expelled Rubio from the family, but Marta doted on him and finally chose to compromise. Before Lugano could translate, Rubio said in his not-so-fluent Intis language: "We can communicate directly. When I was young, I often went out to sea by boat and visited places like Farin Port." "Mr. Rubio, I don't think there is any need to communicate, nor do I intend to know the reason why the monster came to me. I just came to inform you of such a thing." Lumian glanced at Georgia with a puzzled expression. He suspected that Rubio switched to Intis language not out of politeness, but just because he didn't want his wife to know certain things. Rubio nodded slightly and said: "I understand your concerns. I just want to entrust you with another task." "What mission?" Lumian asked with a smile. Rubio said calmly: "My mother, Marta, is from Milo Village. She recently wanted to go back and meet the current 'Governor of the Sea' and ask him to allow her to seek treatment at the 'Mother Earth' Church. Well, my mother hasn't been feeling well recently and couldn't even get out of bed." Marta is still alive? Lumian was a little surprised. The experienced man had previously deduced that the monster might be Marta from the details such as the grandmother did not show up, the Paco family did not want to expose the fact of the humanoid lizard, and Marta was once the "Maid of the Sea"! ——The “Sea Prayer Ceremony” brings not only glory to the “Maid of the Sea”, but also perhaps hidden pollution that may erupt at any time. But now, from what Rubio said, Marta was still alive and was just seriously ill before. Where did the humanoid lizard come from? Lumian suppressed his doubts and asked: "Why does Madam Marta need permission from the 'Governor of the Sea' to seek treatment?" Rubio's expression changed, and he said with some disgust and resistance: "All 'Maidens of the Sea' must obey the orders of the 'Governor of the Sea' in matters related to the church. Failure to do so would be a blasphemy against the sea prayer ceremony." PS: Please give me double the monthly tickets at the end of the month.
