Chapter 173 Night Party Lumian pulled out the dagger from Hedesi and said with a smile: "I want to ask you something." "You can just come to me directly, there's no need to do this." "Hammer" Et instinctively delayed time. At the same time, he glanced around the room out of the corner of his eye and did not find a body. And according to his experience of fighting with Charles, it was impossible for the other side to kill ten armed thugs in one breath without letting any of them escape. On the contrary, indoors, even "Hammer" Et himself did not dare to face the siege of ten pistols. In that case, he might be able to kill three or four of them, but he would also inevitably die. He is like this, and in his mind, Charles, who is much stronger than him and can only win by relying on conspiracy and tricks, is even worse. Based on the situation at the scene, "Iron Hammer" Et believed that most of the ten men should have escaped, and some of them would definitely go to the "Black Scorpion" boss for help. Thinking of this, "Iron Hammer" At ignited a strong desire to survive: As long as I don't anger Charles and can delay for six to seven minutes, there's a great hope of being rescued!

"Otherwise, given my relationship with your Sting Gang, how could I possibly see you?" Lumian deliberately created the illusion that he didn't necessarily want to kill anyone. He raised the dagger in his hand and said: "Stop talking nonsense. Just answer whatever I ask. You should know that I have little patience. If you refuse to answer or lie, I will kill you immediately. At worst, you can go ask Bald Harman later. Anyway, there are still many people in your Sting Gang who know those things." Lumian forced those gangsters to leave because of the situation and also because of his own initiative. How could we pry open "Hammer" Et's mouth in a short period of time without using mystical means if we didn't let him feel that he still had hope of survival? People will be more afraid of death only when they have hope of life! "Iron Hammer" Eit immediately replied: "it is good!" He had decided to reveal some information, and would describe it in detail, in order to try to hold out for six to seven minutes. Of course, he also considered whether Charles would give up questioning at the last moment and kill directly, but apart from cooperating, he had no other choice. He could only hope that the information he provided was valuable enough to attract Charles so that he would not be reluctant to listen to it. About three minutes... Lumian calculated the time silently and asked: "Have you met Louis Lund?" "Hammer" Et hesitated for a moment. With a swish, Lumian swung the dagger and stabbed him in the shoulder, and bright red blood instantly flowed out. "This is a warning, the final warning." He drew back the dagger and told the other party calmly. "Hammer" Et, with a slightly distorted expression, felt the opponent's ruthlessness, felt the approach of death, and was filled with fear. He blurted out: “I have seen it! "There were wanted posters for Louis Lund posted at the Mill Ballroom and many other places. As soon as I saw him at the old man's house, I recognized who he was." "Hammer" Et felt that he could no longer delay time by silence and hesitation, as that would lead to uncontrollable consequences. The same was true for lying, because he was not sure which questions Ciel deliberately asked to test whether he was lying. In comparison, more cumbersome descriptions and seemingly valuable nonsense are more easily accepted by the other party. As expected...Lumian felt delighted.

After confirming that Louis Lund had a certain relationship with Roger "Black Scorpion" of the Sting Gang, the purpose of his action was achieved. The remaining problems were all extra rewards. It would be better to have them, but it didn't matter if he didn't. "What does he want to do with 'Black Scorpion' Roger?" Lumian asked further. "Hammer" Eiter shook his head: “I don’t know the details, but I heard that it seems that the lady that Louis Lund is loyal to came to Trier and wanted to find our Stinger Gang to coordinate our respective spheres of influence to avoid conflict. "This matter has been approved by Madam Moon, and our boss is mainly responsible for the details." "'Lady Moon'?" Lumian didn't expect another "Lady Moon" to appear. He didn't even understand what was going on with "Mrs. Night". "'Madam Moon' is the one that we, the 'Stinger Gang', are loyal to. No, our boss mentioned that she is not a 'madam' now, but a 'lady who gives birth to gods'. We must pray to her frequently. I have never seen her. Only the boss and 'Bald' have seen her." Not "Madam"... From "Madam Moon" to "Lady Who Gives Birth to Gods"... Is this because she has received more gifts and her status has been further improved? Lumian nodded gently: "What is the relationship between 'Madam Moon' and 'Madam Night'?" "They all belong to an organization called 'Night Tour Club'. 'Madam Moon' seems to be the leader, or at least a big shot at the leader level." "Iron Hammer" Et told the story after adding some cumbersome descriptions of what he knew. Believe in that secret organization? Lumian brought the topic back to the area he was most concerned about: "Will Louis Lund come to see 'Black Scorpion' Roger again?" "He should come again next Saturday or Sunday to see if the things that were communicated before have been done and whether some adjustments need to be made. I don't know the exact time." "Hammer" At answered truthfully. Will I be able to meet Louis Lund again on Market Avenue next Saturday or Sunday? After Friday, I will stay at Market Avenue! Lumian was delighted and became excited instantly. He asked instead: "What kind of power does 'Black Scorpion' Roger possess?" "He, he is a 'warlock.'" "Iron Hammer" At stuttered instinctively, "Our boss himself said that the essence of a 'warlock' is to use life to cast spells. It can be your own or someone else's, but it seems that this must be controlled in advance." What a "sorcerer"... Really evil and cruel... Lumian recalled the battle with the "midwife" in his mind. Seeing that he was not surprised at all, "Iron Hammer" At was extremely glad that he did not lie, and further said: "I've only seen him use a few spells. One is a strange curse, one is the manipulation of blood, one is a debilitating black flame, and one is the influence on corpses and ghosts. I don't know the others." At least he could set up a "territory" filled with undead to help him share the damage, allowing him to move strangely... Lumian muttered silently, looking at "Hammer" Et, motioning him to continue. "Iron Hammer" At said with a stiff upper lip: "Our boss also said that if he can handle the recent things well, he should be able to obtain more gifts and become a 'sower'." At this point, Et regretted that he did not choose the gift at the beginning, but chose the potion instead. Otherwise, he would not have been affected by factors such as materials, and Sequence 7 would be out of hope. As long as you make enough contributions and your body can withstand it, you will receive more gifts. "The Sower"? Symbolizing harvest and life? Uh, when Mrs. Puaris was still Plit, she had a lot of illegitimate children, and was hated and resented by countless people in the Darriege area, so much so that his family had to sever ties with him and let him pretend to be missing... Is this a manifestation of the "Sower"? At that time, Plit was affected by the power of the gift and couldn't control himself? After "The Sower", he seemed to have changed his gender. Is that the level of the ladies, or the sequence before the ladies? Lumian suddenly had a lot of associations. Hammer Eiter looked at Lumian's expression and spoke incessantly: "I don't know what comes after the 'Sower'. I only know that Wilson is a 'villain', equivalent to Sequence 9, and Harman is a 'gardener', with about the same strength as me, but he knows a lot about trees and flowers, and can make some medicines with magical effects. Well, he has a potion that can make the skin as hard as tree bark for a short period of time. I tried to chop him with a knife, but he only suffered minor injuries. He also has medicine to treat some diseases and knife and gunshot wounds." It turns out that the prerequisite for "Witcher" is "Gardener". No wonder that "Midwife" has been using giant scissors as a weapon... Fortunately, I got this information. If I assassinated "Bald" Haman without giving him time to react, he would not use his body to block the "Corrupted Mercury"... Targeted intelligence is really useful... Lumian said sincerely in his heart. "Iron Hammer" At thought for a moment and said: "Haman once said that the spirits born from trees and flowers would be afraid of him because he was the 'gardener' who pruned them." At tried to delay the time and forced another matter into question:

"Our boss mentioned that among the unrecognized supreme beings, there are only three who can grant divine power without much trouble. One is the 'Great Mother' we believe in, one is named after desire and tree, and one seems to be a strange mist. If other beings want to grant divine power, they must hold a very large, very difficult ceremony that is easily discovered and destroyed." "The Mother Tree of Desire"? What's the difference between them and the one named Fate? Why can they grant divine power without a large-scale ceremony? Haha, I wonder what will happen if the "Gardener" faces the "Fallen Tree Spirit"? Will he be suppressed by his status? Lumian's thoughts turned and he suddenly changed the subject: “Who are the candidates for Congress that you support?” "It's Hugues Artois from the Enlightened Party." Seeing that a lot of time had passed, "Hammer" Et became more and more excited. If those bastards had run faster, they would have seen the boss by now! Just as Et was waiting for Lumian to ask what the Sting Gang was going to do recently, he suddenly saw the other party raise his right hand and swing a dagger. With a "puff", the dagger pierced into his temple and stirred it a few times. "Hammer" Et opened his mouth wide, his face full of horror, and his eyes gradually became desperate and distracted. With a thud, he fell down and lost his breath. Lumian left the dagger in Hammer Et's head and quickly bandaged his wound. Then, he put away other things, carried the body on his back, pushed open the window in the room, and jumped down. Since this was only the second floor, he landed steadily and started running wildly. Instead of taking the most direct route, Lumian took a detour to Nightingale Street and ran from there to Market Avenue. On the way, it was dark at night, with street lights only occasionally on, and the surroundings were so dark that it seemed to swallow up the pedestrians on the road. It took Lumian more than two minutes to run to the door of Breeze Ballroom carrying the body of "Hammer" Et. The two gangsters guarding there were about to stop them, but they saw Charles' face. So they stopped and let the other party in. ………… In the cafe on the second floor. Louis walked up to Baron Brinell with a stack of papers, a black revolver, a trident and a bullet bag: "Baron, everything is ready for Charles." More intelligence and weapons. Baron Brinell nodded: "Tomorrow morning, you will deliver them to the Golden Rooster Inn." After giving the order, Baron Brinell said expectantly: “I don’t know what kind of show he will put on for us and when he will start. "You say, will he choose 'Iron Hammer' At, or 'Bald' Haman, or that 'Shorty Candlestick'..." Before Baron Brinell could finish his words, the sound of footsteps suddenly rang out, coming closer and closer. The gangster guarding the entrance to the first floor said to Baron Brinell with horror on his face: "Charles, Charles is here! He, he's carrying a person, no, a corpse!" At this time, Lumian appeared at the stairs and walked towards Baron Brinell with a smile, his steps heavier than usual. "What is that?" Baron Brinell looked at the corpse behind Charles with confusion and solemnity. Lumian threw the body to the ground, clapped his hands, and said with a smile: "'Hammer' Eiter."
