Chapter 530 Substitution The port of Farin under the sun seemed to be dyed with a touch of gold, and the air seemed to have a bit of the sweetness of sucrose. Lumian stood at the window, wondering where the "devil wizard" would be now: When he was rescued last night, Boorman was in a deep coma and certainly couldn't tell the undead creature he controlled where to go. So, the undead creature should have followed its instinct and habit and dragged Boorman to a place he often went to and was safe enough. Normally, Fidel's house would have been the first choice, but when Lumian searched there, he found no signs that Burman had returned. His initial speculation was that when Burman killed Fidel's family and the waiters and servants, he drove the undead creatures to help. They had remembered that No. 16 Correas Street was a battlefield and an unsafe place, so they chose another hiding place. Where could that be? Lumian took out the information about Bulman provided by Franka and the rest of the information he had learned from Philip, Butner and others from the "Traveler's Bag" and read it again, trying to put himself in the shoes of the "Devil Wizard" and simulate his mental state, thoughts, ideas and action choices: Bulman was born in the Mist Province in the north of Intis, also known as the Winter Province, which borders the Feysac Empire. The people there are relatively rough and love strong liquor. His wife Helen was a native of Falling Harbour, but had no island ancestry - her grandfather was a sugar merchant who traveled between Falling Harbour and Leuser Harbour. He was later attacked by pirates and lost most of his business. He could only rely on a plantation he had saved up to buy to support his family. Helen was born and raised on that plantation, and watched it being sold after her grandfather's death due to conflicts between her parents. Her family received a sum of money and moved to Fallin Harbor. Later, the death of her father and her mother's serious illness led her to the path of an adventurer, where she met Boorman. Both of them had encounters in their adventurous careers, gained extraordinary powers, and bought real estate in Farin Port, planning for their future lives when they are older and no longer want to take risks.
A few years ago, they hired a ship with a group of familiar adventurers and went out to sea to search for treasure. As a result, they encountered a sea monster. Only Boorman and two other adventurers survived. After that, Boorman began his increasingly frantic attempts to resurrect his wife. "Going out to sea to search for treasure? Are there really so many treasures on the sea?" Lumian muttered, thinking that there was a high possibility that Bulman was still in Farin Port. This is where his best memories are and traces of the years he and his wife Helen lived together. When he was preparing a secret hiding place, he subconsciously chose this area. With this guess in mind, Lumian continued reading the rest of the information. As he thought, all of Boorman's previous dangerous attempts took place in the area surrounding the Misty Sea Islands, including other islands and villages along the coast of the northern continent. If they were connected into irregular concentric circles, it would be found that the "center" was at Farin Port on Saintik Island. Boorman used Farin Port as his base and tried to revive everywhere... He had never caused trouble in Farin Port before, so why was he making an exception this time? If I were Boorman, in a half-crazy state, I would definitely regard Farin Port as my spiritual home, a collection of all the good memories. Normally, I would not disrupt the order here, and I would even secretly maintain it and secretly deal with some daring pirates and adventurers... Lumian analyzed thoughtfully. He replaced Farin Port with Cordu Village, thinking that if his sister's death had nothing to do with Cordu Village and that it remained peaceful, whoever dared to affect the daily life of Cordu Village, whoever dared to change the status quo there would be his enemy! He frowned slightly, thinking that there might be some very important details about the explosion the night before that had not been clarified. The subsequent killing of Fidel and his entire family by Boorman because of a wrong word might also have been a factor in this regard. Fidel and Boorman had worked together for many years, and he should have known that Boorman's mental state was unstable and he might go crazy at any time. How could such a shrewd businessman not consider the possible impact of his words on the "devil wizard"? Moreover, Boorman wanted to kill the adventurer Louis Berry in order to cover up his cooperation with Fidel. Since he had killed Fidel, why was there any need to silence Lumian? Perhaps based on Fidel's experience, he could have persuaded Burman to wait a few days before taking action. However, Burman was already in a state of madness at the time, and acted completely on instinct afterwards. After thinking for a moment, Lumian decided to enter Farin Port again to visit the "former residence" of Bulman and Helen. Although the place had long been sold by Boorman in exchange for funds for the resurrection experiment, and was closely watched by official Beyonders, it was still possible that important clues were left behind: What if the crazy Boorman insists on returning to his "old home" to take a look? After instructing Lugano to take care of Ludwig, Lumian went down to the deck and met Philip. The security director of the Asura looked at Lumian with a complicated expression. He did not mention the room that seemed to have been bombarded by artillery fire, and said to himself: “I shared the remaining repair costs among the workers and waiters involved.” What he meant was that I have paid for all those who should keep their mouths shut. "You can get one for yourself," Lumian responded with a smile. Philip shook his head and sighed: "No more similar things on the way from Port Farin to Port Santa is the best reward for me." "I'll try my best," Lumian said sincerely.
He made no promises, after all, some things were beyond his control. He also wanted to arrive at Santa Port safely, and began to track down the core members of "April Fool's Day", "The Bard" and "Ultraman". Philip stared at Lumian for a few seconds, as if he was thinking about whether to report this guy in advance. He sighed again: "The port blockade will be lifted tonight, and the 'Flying Bird' will set sail again tomorrow morning. Don't miss it." Lumian nodded and asked curiously: "The 'devil wizard' was caught?" "No, but it's basically confirmed that it has nothing to do with the ships in the port, and he didn't hide here." Philip said casually, "Bulman also killed the big businessman Fidel and his family last night. They seemed to have a cooperative relationship before. Maybe Fidel wanted to betray him..." At this point, Philip glanced at Lumian sharply: "There was a fight in your room last night. Could it be related to this incident?" “What do you think that has to do with it?” Lumian asked in amusement. Philip thought about it carefully, and he really couldn't connect the two things. Seeing this, Lumian waved his hand, put on his golden straw hat, went down the gangway to the dock, and left the port area. As soon as he arrived at the Sun Square where many wanted posters were posted, he saw an archipelago man with brown skin, deep eye sockets and dark eyes coming up to him and handing over a folded piece of paper with a lot of text and simple patterns printed on it. "Dear travelers, this is the travel guide to Farin Port. It has the most beautiful scenery, the most distinctive food, and the most charming shops." The islander introduced enthusiastically, "It can help you spend a wonderful few days here." Lumian asked very cooperatively: "how much is it?" "No need to spend money, it's free!" The islander replied in a high-pitched voice, "This is printed by the government, specially provided to tourists, I hope you can leave a good impression of Farin Port." "That's great." Lumian took the travel guide with a look of "surprise" on his face and unfolded it on the spot. This part is an introduction to the beautiful scenery, and the other part is recommendations for various shops, including sugar cane shops, quaint bars, famous gourmet shops, and so on. With a swish, Lumian pulled out his revolver and pointed it at the center of the islander's forehead. The islander was stunned. After several seconds, he stammered: "No, I don't charge you any money. You don't have to pay. I'm not cheating you!" Is such a small matter worth pulling out a gun? I'm going to call the police! Lumian smiled and asked: “What is the relationship between these recommended stores and you?” “No…” The islander felt the coldness of the gun and gradually changed his words, “They, they paid us for the recommendation, and some of it was opened by our partners.” “How many of them are normal stores?” Lumian asked without being affected at all. "Ninety percent." Just as the islander finished speaking, he saw the adventurer on the opposite side pulling back the hammer of the revolver. He quickly added: "Ninety percent of it has to do with us." “What about the scenery?” Lumian chuckled.
"One hundred percent, fifty percent, only plantations and primitive tribes are related to us." The islander was shaking with fear. Lumian shook the unfolded travel guide, smiled at the islanders and said: “Point out the real ones.” The islander quickly clicked on different contents, worried that the other party's gun would suddenly go off. Lumian then put away his revolver, took the travel guide, and walked towards the open-air market on the other side of the Plaza del Sol. He had just said so much to the islander, on the one hand to scare the liar, and on the other hand he suddenly had an inspiration: For Boorman, who has lived in Faring Harbor for many years, are some of the food and scenery here also part of the good memories? When he suffers setbacks, kills his best partner, and fails in battle, will the crazy and paranoid him go to a place with good memories to draw strength and fill his soul? Lumian asked himself, if he were in that situation, he would probably do something similar. Reason might tell him that there is a possibility of being tracked and discovered, but half-crazy people often do not listen to reason. Therefore, whether it is the scenery of the lighthouse moonlight, the volcano sunset, or the delicacies such as Reputo minced pork, Gasparo paella, and Santique chocolate ice cream, they are all likely to be secretly visited by the "devil wizard". In that state, he would most likely not handle the traces very carefully. Lumian pressed the golden straw hat on his head, walked through the open-air market, and headed towards the cliff mountain outside the city of Farin. The lighthouse of Farin Harbour is there.
