Chapter: 712
It was confirmed that Lucian was promoted to "Pyromancer" by Gardner. After Martin's help, Mr. K was very satisfied and gave him another finger.
This made Lumian feel that as long as he does not encounter special environments such as "The Other World" and "Tree of Shadows" and does not get involved in terrorist incidents that require facing divine creatures, relying on Mr. K's fingers, he will not be able to turn defeat into victory and escape There is still a great chance.
At this moment, Lumian, who was about to express his attitude to the boss, suddenly felt that the performance should not go too far.
This is a sentence that Jenna would hang on her lips from time to time.
"According to Franka, the boss is at least a Sequence 6 "conspirator". You must not underestimate his IQ and vision..." My background is indeed very clear. I am young and from the countryside. I was once involved in an extraordinary disaster. I have no knowledge and want to change my fate. But I have been in the market area for a while, and I have done a lot of things overtly and secretly. Even if only the boss knows about it, it is enough for him to see that I am not a country old man who has no brains and relies on recklessness and cruelty to do things.
"As far as today's matter is concerned, in the boss's mind, I should be able to perceive the unusualness of the mission and the possible dangers involved. If I agree to it without asking the reason and without observing it, it will make him suspect that I have other purposes and other reliance. "That's troublesome." A series of thoughts flashed through Lumian's mind, and he instantly changed the destination of his sight, turning his gaze to "Giant" Simon and "Mouse" Christo, as if he wanted to see what they thought about this matter. What will be the response and attitude of the task.
"Mouse" Christo wondered if he remembered the "man in the mirror" and his younger brother who died because of it, his expression was a little ugly, fearful and apprehensive.
A look of doubt and guard flashed across Simon the Giant's face, but he didn't raise any objections.
After a few seconds, the two said almost simultaneously: "Yes, boss!"
Seeing this, Lumian deliberately hesitated before saying, "Okay, boss!"
Gardner. Martin's gaze has been moving back and forth between Lumian, Crystal and Simon, observing their expressions and states.
After they all agreed, the leader of the Savoy Party smiled with satisfaction: "I will tell you the details of the mission."
He opened the drawer, took out a roll of imitation parchment, and spread it out on the desk.
Lumian and the others leaned over and saw that it was a map depicting part of the underground area of Trier!
It is one meter long and fifty centimeters wide. The uppermost layer is the underground Trier formed after the municipal department opened up various tunnels and reinforced the quarry cavity, corresponding to the streets and squares on the ground.
This map only includes the underground of the market area, memorial hall area, botanical garden area, and observatory area, but it is drawn in great detail, as if sneaking into the municipal department and copying it from the original information. Lumian can clearly see that there are still There is an extension, but it is not drawn any further.
The middle layer of the map is a quarry cavity, places marked as ancient tombs, and underground river tributaries. They are distributed in a mess, and they are connected to the upper layer through conspicuous or hidden tunnels.
This section has a lot of gaps and missing places, with words like "to be investigated", "to be explored", "to be found" written next to it.
The lower layer of the map has some long-collapsed mines and more gaps, as if shrouded in fog. Even a secret organization like the "Jagged Cross" doesn't know enough details.
There are many passages extending down from this layer, but the map does not show which areas they connect.
"Quaternary that Trier? The place officially named 'Ancient Monuments Reserve'? "It can be seen that this map is copied from a more complete map." The more complete part presents the Quaternary Trier?
"The Jagged Cross really knows a lot about the underground situation..." Lumian made corresponding guesses while memorizing this incomplete map.
Wait until the three men have roughly read the map, Gardner. Martin pointed to a place and said, "Your destination is here.
It was a collapsed mine, but there was still some space left. It is located at the bottom of the map near Quaternary Trier.
Its upper part corresponds to Selb Avenue, Bad Boy Street and Forest Square at the junction of the Observatory District and the Botanical Garden.
"It's called Albert's Mine," Gardner said. Martin made an introduction, "It needs to be reached through two privately dug secret tunnels, which are not controlled by the official, nor known by the vast majority of people who travel underground."
Gardner. As Martin spoke, he traced the two tunnels drawn with dotted lines with his fingers, and told Lumian, Crystal, and Simon the correct way to enter.
Finally, he said with emotion: "Six years ago, Albert Goncourt, the leader of the rebels and the planner of the riot, escaped the army, The police and official Beyonders searched the ground, and they survived.”
Six years ago... the rebels... the great riot... Hearing these words, Lumian instantly remembered what he had seen and heard: During the war with the Kingdom of Loen, the price of Trier The skyrocketed, and the price of food was desperate, which triggered a parade that swept across the city, and various conflicts continued one after another.
Listen to Gardner. What Martin meant, wasn't that a purely spontaneous protest, planned and led by someone? The "Jagged Cross" also participated? Lumian continued to keep his gaze on the map thoughtfully.
Gardner. Martin made a summary: "All you need to do is arrive at the Albert Mine before twelve o'clock noon, wait for the trader to come over, and take a box from him." You don't need to give him anything, and you don't need to communicate with him verbally.
You must not open that box on the way back, or it will bring you immeasurable danger.
As long as you strictly follow my words, the risk of this mission is not high. Although you may encounter some abnormal phenomena hidden in the ground or monsters from the extraordinary, those can be solved by your good cooperation.
After explaining this for a while, Lumian, Crystal, and Simon each took a calcium carbide lamp and left No. 11 Spring Street, heading for the nearest underground entrance to Trier.
Looking back at the gray and white villa that had disappeared from sight, Lumian played Gardner. Martin knows him.
With a smile on his face, he casually asked Crystal the Mouse and Simon the Giant: "Have you done similar missions before?" Kristo the Mouse was silent for a few seconds and said, "Three times."
"Once." Simon the Giant replied with a slightly humming voice. Lumian laughed: "You are all still alive, which shows that similar tasks are indeed not too risky."
"Mouse" Christo did not respond, and seemed to be in a bad memory, while "Giant" Simon echoed Lumian's words in a self-comforting manner: "Yeah, this may be a test for us by the boss, and those who can pass will have the opportunity to be further promoted.
Lumian smiled: What about the ones that can't pass? Died on the spot?
