Chapter 562 Top Collaborator After making his choice, Lumian had the opportunity to ask: "Who is the suspect?" "Lato Giallo." The "Sword Knight" reported a name. Lumian knew this person. He was also a member of the Fisheries Guild. Not only did he own three large fishing boats and shares in the Santa Port Fisheries Company, he was also involved in industries such as shipbuilding and ice making. Someone in his family had married the "Maid of the Sea" hundreds of years ago. Lumian asked thoughtfully: "What is the relationship between Lato Giallo and the Balansat Boat Rental Company?" "He is a creditor of that company and has arranged for many family members to be sent in." The "Sword Knight" answered simply. “No wonder.” Lumian nodded slightly and thought for a moment before saying, “How about we meet at the intersection of Saint Lana Street and Golden Wheat Street in three minutes?” He had never been to the place where Rato Giallo's big family lived, and did not know the corresponding spiritual coordinates. He could only "teleport" to Santa Lana Street which was closer to the target. He used "spiritual world shuttle" to leave directly because he did not want to alert the secret monitors. "Okay." The figure of the "Sword Knight" instantly faded and disappeared. It took Lumian two minutes to drink water, put on his vest and straw hat, and then the black mark on his right shoulder glowed.
His figure then disappeared into the room with the curtains drawn. At the intersection of Saint Lana Street and Golden Wheat Street, Lumian walked out from the dark corner and saw the "Sword Knight" with messy brown hair, wearing a linen shirt and a dark brown vest, standing on the edge of the crimson moonlight. His face was pale and his eyes were depressed. It seemed that he would tear off his human skin at any time, turn into a monster, and burst out with all kinds of desires accumulated in his heart. Others may not have such a clear perception, but Lumian is an "ascetic" whose characteristic is to endure and suppress emotions and desires, and he has a natural sensitivity to similar situations. He is indeed a "moderate" person... Seeing the appearance of the "Sword Knight", Lumian suddenly had a ridiculous thought: Brother, do you want to believe in fate? If you become a "mendicant monk" or "ascetic", you won't have to endure so much hardship! Of course, Lumian was just casually thinking about this suggestion and would definitely not bring it up - without sufficient opportunities, the evil god's gift would only cause the extraordinary people in the potion system to gradually alienate and irreversibly become humanoid monsters, changing step by step into the corresponding evil god. However, his thoughts just now also showed that certain sequences of the gift system and certain sequences of the potion system could complement each other, producing an effect of one plus one being greater than two. “Let’s go.” Seeing that the “Sword Knight” just looked at him without saying a word, Lumian had to take the initiative to speak. The "Sword Knight" nodded, followed the shadows on the side of the street, turned into Golden Wheat Street at a moderate pace, and headed north. Soon, the two arrived at the five-story building of the Giallo family, which looked like a small castle. Looking at the windows reflecting the lights and the gray-blue exterior walls, the "Sword Knight" pointed at one of the windows and said: "That's Rato's bedroom. He and his wife sleep in separate rooms." The intelligence collected is very detailed and accurate... Lumian nodded slightly and said: "What's your plan of action?" "Just sneak in and control the target." The "Sword Knight" gave his answer in a very concise way. Isn't this too crude? The Giarro family should not only employ Beyonders, but also have a few members who have obtained the power brought by the Sea Prayer Ceremony... Lumian thought of the special features of the "Wrathful Soul", evaluated his own abilities, put one hand in his pocket, and replied leisurely: "it is good." As soon as he finished speaking, his body degenerated into a shadow and merged into the darkness. The "Knight of the Sword" beside him had long since disappeared. With the help of the shadows on the building's exterior walls, Lumian quickly sneaked into Lato Giallo's room. The next second, he saw the target: He was a middle-aged man with slightly curly black hair and dark brown eyes. He was wearing a dark blue cotton robe. He had a long face and a thick, but neatly trimmed beard. At this moment, Lato Giallo had a terrified expression and a stiff body, and was staggering towards the shadow where Lumian was hiding.
Lumian saw a figure reflected in each of the eyes of the Fisheries Guild committee member. Both were "Sword Knights" wearing dark brown vests and linen shirts, with pale faces and messy brown hair! Seeing that Lato Giallo was in a state where his body was out of control and he couldn't even open his mouth to shout, Lumian walked out of the shadows and returned to his original appearance. He suddenly felt the air around him become very heavy, as heavy as sea water. Other than that, there is nothing unusual. Lumian exerted force on his feet and came to Lato Giallo as if walking in a swamp. He did not use the "Hum-Ha Technique" directly. One reason was that the opponent seemed to have no power to resist and could be controlled by other means. There was no need to waste his spiritual energy. The other reason was that he was not sure whether the "Hum-Ha Technique" would knock both of them unconscious if the "Sword Knight" forcibly possessed Lato Jialo. Lumian took out the bottle of drugs from the "Society of Bliss", unscrewed the cap, and put it to the nose of Lato Giallo. He fanned the air with his hands to speed up the flow of gas. About ten seconds later, the member of the Fisheries Union closed his eyes and passed out. He was still standing and did not fall to the ground. The Tarot card that now completely controls his body is the Minor Arcana, "Knight of Swords". This is easier than using "teleportation" and "Hum-Ha Technique"... I've dealt with so many Beyonders before, but this is the only one I dealt with smoothly without even lifting a finger. I just walked up to him slowly, let him smell the drug... "Grievous Soul" is really a top-notch collaborator, and can be used with any pathway and any sequence... Well, "Grievous Soul" is immune to anesthetic gas, and the drug from the "Supreme Bliss Society" didn't have any effect on him... When Lumian saw this result without any obvious movement, he felt as if he hadn't participated in the battle at all. He put the "Society of Bliss" drug back into the secret bag, took out the bottle of truth serum, and quickly fed Lato Giallo nearly a third of it - he felt that the effect of the drug would not last long on a Beyonder like Lato Giallo whose characteristics were unknown, so he quickly fed him the potion and tried to complete the preparations before the target woke up. After just twenty or thirty seconds, Lato Giaro opened his eyes. He first saw the great adventurer Louis Berry wearing a golden straw hat and a faint smile on his face, and then he found himself sitting on a chair facing the long sofa in the bedroom without knowing when. Lato opened his mouth and was about to shout, but he felt that his vocal cords were out of his control and no sound came out. “Do you realize your situation?” Lumian leaned back against the sofa and rested his right foot on his left knee. He spoke the Intis language. Lato showed fear and couldn't even nod in response. He could use certain abilities, but he was sure that they would not work against the great adventurer Louis Berry and would only result in new coma or thunder strikes. "What do you want to do?" Suddenly, Lato spoke. He also speaks Intis. After saying that, he tried to raise his hand and touch his neck in surprise, but he couldn't do it. Rato Giallo finally quieted down. Lumian smiled and said: "I'll ask you some questions. If you answer them well, I don't mind letting you live until tomorrow to help me spread the word." Lato was silent for a few seconds and said: "What do you want to know?" Lumian gently shook his right ankle: "Are Nolfi and Butner here with you?" "Yes." Lato said with a strong desire to confide, "They are imprisoned in the basement. They are still alive. I just want to use them."
“What can we do with them?” Lumian asked with interest. Lato's lips moved for a while and said: "Use them to help you find the area where the sea sacrifice ceremony is held and guide you to rent a boat there." "So you wrote that note..." Lumian said as if he had suddenly realized something. "How are you going to guide me?" Lato wanted to find some good excuses to justify his behavior, but his mouth was faster than his brain: "I'll let you investigate and find out that Norfi and the others want to rent a boat to go out to sea, and then I'll arrange for them to find an opportunity to escape from here. I'll tell you something so that you know the specialness of that sea area." "And then?" Lumian asked curiously. Lato closed his mouth tightly, but finally opened it: “They are telling the truth, but they don’t know one thing: "Never fight a 'child of the sea' at sea! "Juan Oro will be waiting for you in that sea and will bury you completely!" It turns out that the clue of Nolfi was provided by the Fisheries Guild pretending to be someone with ulterior motives, in order to set a trap for me and get rid of me... If I hadn't quickly shown my inclination to investigate the sea prayer ceremony, which made Nolfi and Batna valuable to be used, they might have been sunk to the bottom of the sea... The small fight against Lugano was to paralyze me... Lumian's thoughts raced, and he heard Lato say something incomprehensible: "You haven't even started investigating yet, so why did you come to me? "You just sent your translator to ask about the whereabouts of Nolfi and the others, and there was no follow-up..." Lumian smiled meaningfully. "Do you think I want to investigate the sea prayer ceremony by myself? "I represent the will of many people, and there are many of my companions hiding in the shadows of Santa Port." Lato felt his body stiffen and feel cold, and believed what he said. Lumian raised his right hand, rubbed his chin and said: "Where does your power come from?" Lato made a hoarse sound in his throat and said: “Coming from the sea, every sea prayer ceremony will bring us strength. "Unfortunately, last year's sea prayer ceremony failed. We haven't received any supplements for two whole years. We have all become weak, and even experienced varying degrees of power decline. Otherwise, Juan Oro would have dealt with you directly and thrown your body into the Sea Wave Square, letting everyone who wanted to deal with us see your fate!" Similar to a gift? Theoretically, if the power of a gift is not replenished, it will gradually weaken... Lumian thought for a moment and said: "The Sea Prayer Ceremony is a large-scale ceremony to pray for blessings, and the 'Governor of the Sea' is the main sacrifice?" Lato thought for a moment and said: "He is both the sacrifice and the main priest, and Juan Oro and we are the deacons. "The sea prayer ceremony is actually a ceremony to welcome the sea and satisfy it. Granting it strength is incidental." "Marry the sea?" Lumian suddenly felt that his imagination was not rich enough.
