Chapter 501 Suspicious Attitude (asking for guaranteed monthly ticket at the beginning of the month) Lugano Toscano, a man with brown hair, brown eyes, regular features and a sturdy figure, was wearing a cheap black suit. He lowered his head and walked quickly among the people coming and going, holding his hat low with his hand. After many twists and turns, this Beyonder who had been promoted to Sequence 8 "Doctor" entered the cobblestone street next to the Honest Man Market, walked up the creaking wooden stairs, and climbed to the top floor of an old house. As soon as he woke up today, before he had time to have breakfast, his companions told him that he was wanted as a trusted subordinate of Charles Dubois and an extraordinary person who managed a dance hall. Although Lugano was quite confused and had no idea what the top leaders of the Savoy Party were doing, and he was very sure that he was not involved, as a wild Beyonder, his mere existence was a crime, and he dared not go to the members of the "Purifiers" and "Mechanical Heart" to clarify the matter when he was wanted. He had no choice but to pack his bags and move directly to the safe house that he had prepared before, which he had not even told his companions about, intending to observe for a few more days before deciding what to do next. Taking advantage of the factory's lunch break, the market area became more lively. Lugano went downstairs and took a look around. Not surprisingly, he found that he was really wanted and the reward was 2000 Felgin. He realized from this that he was not taken seriously and might be forgotten by the official Beyonders after a while. Walking to the room that was not much bigger than the attic, Lugano took out a brass key and opened the dark brown wooden door. Amid the creaking sound, a figure appeared in the eyes of this "doctor". It was Charles Dubois, who was sitting at a simple wooden table. He had black hair with blond hair, silver earrings, a white shirt, a dark jacket, gray-blue trousers and lace-up leather shoes.
How did he find this place? No one knew about this safe house except me and the landlord who lived in another district! It was officially opened for the first time today! Lugano's pupils dilated instantly, as if he wanted to see the figure in the dim room more clearly in this way. The curtains that were originally open were drawn closed at some point. Lumian smiled at Lugano and said: "Why, you don't welcome me?" Lugano smiled subconsciously: "It's my honor to have you visit me. I just didn't expect you to know that I have such a doghouse." This was both a self-deprecation and a hint to Lumian: I haven't forgotten that I am your dog! Lugano said as he entered the room and closed the wooden door behind him. It suddenly became dark here, and he heard the sound of snapping fingers. The candle on the simple wooden table suddenly lit up, flickering with a yellowish flame. Lumian lowered his raised right palm and nodded slightly. "What do you want to ask?" Lugano did not ask what crime the Savoyard Party leaders had committed, which led to his own arrest. He was more concerned about another thing: "Mr. Charles, how did you know I was in this safe house?" Lumian laughed. “Whatever I want, I can find.” This... Lugano Toscano's eyes narrowed, and he felt the other party's strong self-confidence. And Charles' actual performance also proved what he just said. Of course, Lumian would not tell Lugano that he had followed him many times and found out where his three safe houses were. ——As a "hunter", he would hang out in the market area in his free time, honing his tracking skills, and he was very familiar with the situation here. He only randomly selected ordinary passers-by and residents to follow, so it was impossible for him to observe everyone. However, Extraordinary people like Lugano Toscano who came to recommend themselves and became his subordinates must be the focus of investigation, so as to avoid being sold out without knowing what happened. Without waiting for Lugano to ask again, Lumian said directly: "I need your help with something."
"It's my pleasure." Lugano acted like he would definitely agree without asking what it was. This is too flattering. I am a wanted criminal now. I don’t have any businesses like Breeze Ballroom, so I can’t give you any resources... Lumian stroked his chin with his right hand: "I'm going to the Kingdom of Feynaport and would like to ask you to be my translator." Lugano answered without hesitation: "no problem." Really? But I have a question... Lugano's "loyalty" without asking for reasons or benefits made Lumian, a "conspirator", suspicious, and his mind was instantly highly focused. Could it be that this guy, like the little boy Ludwig, was "sent" by some force to contact me? Lumian raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "I thought you would refuse. After all, you have become a 'physician'. Even if you don't do anything risky, it's enough for you to live a very good life." "Doctors" can use their extraordinary abilities to treat diseases and injuries, and can easily support themselves in any country or city. Lugano said with a bashful face: "I am also wanted, and I am planning to hide somewhere else for a while before returning to Trier. Besides, I believe you will give me a generous reward. "Although 'Doctors' can cure diseases, they cannot use their extraordinary abilities directly without any disguise. That will attract the attention of official Beyonders. Unless they only work in the black market, the best option is to forge a doctor's license and open a clinic. While providing conventional treatment, they can also use extraordinary abilities. This requires a large amount of start-up capital and sufficient medical knowledge. I already have the latter. As for the former, I just exchanged all my savings for the main and auxiliary materials of the 'Doctor' potion." As he spoke, Lugano's smile became more flattering: "Once I become a famous doctor in Trier, I can earn at least 20 Felkins a year. Then I really don't need to go out and take risks anymore. Even if I don't want to be too famous and be targeted by official Beyonders, it will be easy to earn to Felkins a year." You know a lot about Dr. Trier's income... Lumian stared at Lugano's face, and the doubts in his heart faded a little, but still remained. He made a quick decision, stood up slowly and said: "Very good. You wait for me here for three days. I will come to you after I finish other things. When the time comes, I will advance you 5000 Felkins, and when you are no longer needed to translate, I will give you another 5000 Felkins. If there is a battle in the middle, you can divide the spoils according to the rules of adventurers, and I will compensate you with another sum of money afterwards, no less than 5000 Felkins." "Okay, Mr. Charles." Lugano walked Lumian out of the room with a smile on his face. During this process, Lumian had been observing the expression and movements of the "doctor" out of the corner of his eye and did not notice anything wrong. Is he really like this? Is there anything wrong with him? Or is his acting skills good enough? Lumian looked ahead and walked down the stairs steadily. ………… Janna didn't stay in Apartment 3 at 601 White Coat Street for too long. She packed her belongings and planned to move to Franca's safe house in the Memorial District. ——As the leader of the Savoy Party and the mistress of Gardner Martin, Franca has strangely not been wanted yet, but perhaps in a few hours she will be arrested by official extraordinary people. Therefore, before going to Xiayue Town, this "Witch of Joy" packed her own things and Janna's large luggage into the "traveler's bag" so that she could move to another place at any time. Janna, carrying a brown suitcase, had just entered White Coat Street when she saw some strange symbols in the alley on the side, like children's graffiti. That was a message from the Purifier asking for a meeting. Jenna hesitated as she walked forward. She had indeed discussed with Lumian, Franca, and Anthony how to tell the Purifier about what happened last night if they met one, but she still felt that it was too risky to actually meet the official Beyonder, and she felt quite nervous. After nearly ten minutes of consideration, Janna sighed softly, turned into Market Avenue, and walked towards the alley behind St. Robert's Church. That was the meeting place. Her brother Julian is still in Port Leuser and will be back in Trier in a few months. She doesn't want to implicate her only remaining relative because of her own affairs, nor does she want him to live a life of hiding and fear. So, unless there is really no other way, she hopes to establish a good relationship with the "Purifiers" so that they can look after her brother. I am already a witch who will bring disaster, so I will be the one to bear these dark and dangerous things... Janna lowered her eyes, muttered silently to herself, and her pace gradually quickened.
This time, she saw not only Valentine and Imre in the back alley of St. Robert's Church, but also a man with blond hair, golden eyebrows and beard, wearing a brown double-breasted coat. "This is our butler, Mr. Angouleme," the mixed-race Imre introduced. "He takes last night's disaster very seriously and wants to know what intelligence you have." In their view, Celia Bello had a close relationship with Charles and Franca, and the latter two were one of Gardner Martin's double subordinates and the other his mistress, so they should have had some awareness of the riots and changes in the market area. It was precisely because of the informant Janna that the "Purifiers", at the suggestion of Angoulême, temporarily refrained from taking action against Franca and Apartment 3, No. 601, White Coat Street, but only issued a wanted warrant for Charles Dubois, who was identified as a "soldier" of this secret organization by other members of the "Iron Cross". Janna withdrew her gaze from Angouleme's gold button and suddenly smiled: "Are you referring to the disaster that occurred last night when we tried to open the seal of Trier in the Fourth Epoch?" Imre and Valentine were first dazzled by Janna's smile, and then they were shocked by the information revealed in her words, their eyes widened and their gazes froze. Angoulême was stunned for a moment and sighed secretly, as if he had expected it. Janna tilted her head slightly and added with a smile: "If I say that I witnessed the beginning of the problem and the process of the ritual with my own eyes, and that I entered Trier in the Fourth Epoch and escaped, would you believe it?" Valentine and Imre's eyes widened and they remained silent, not knowing how to answer. "Is it related to the 'hostel' you reported earlier?" Angouleme asked in a deep voice. Janna said "hmm" and nodded slightly. "Where are Franca and Charles?" Angouleme asked. Jannah talked about what was bound to happen in the next few days: "They left the market area and they probably won't be coming back." Hearing this, Angouleme breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Tell me about your experience in detail."
