Chapter 544 Simple Commission Did the reputation spread so quickly? Even if the rumor about my hunting of Bulman arrived at Santa Port two days earlier than the "Flying Bird", the client would have to spend time to confirm where I live, whether it is true or false... Lumian thought it would take a few more days for someone to come to him for a commission, so he didn't think of the lady in a normal context just now. He stood up and said to Lugano: "Please ask the lady to come in." After saying this, Lumian bent down and picked up the golden straw hat on the small round table, trying to make Louis Berry's image more distinctive and easier to remember. Not long after, Lugano led a woman in her thirties and walked away. She was wearing a white long skirt with a loose hem and red flowers embroidered on the surface of the dress, which fully showed off the beauty of her body curves. Compared with the Dariege region on the other side of the mountain, women in Santa Port prefer more colorful and fancy clothing, which makes them look very romantic and free. This is also the traditional aesthetic of the Kingdom of Fenaport. The lady with long brown hair tied up and a healthy complexion did not bring a maid with her. Her blue eyes with thick eyelashes were cast towards Lumian who was holding a golden straw hat. Her rosy lips opened and closed, uttering a series of words, but Lumian could only make out the name "Louis Berry" based on the approximate pronunciation. Lugano quickly got to work and began translating: "This lady, dear Mr. Louis Berry, I heard about your hunting of the 'devil wizard'. I wonder if you are willing to help my family solve a problem." Lumian's eyes swept across the multi-gemstone beads on the lady's wrist, and returned to her beautiful and mature face: "What do you call it?"
"Giorgia," the lady replied after Lugano translated. Lumian repeated the pronunciation of the other party's name and asked with a smile: "Mrs. Georgia, what do you want to entrust?" After listening to Lugano's translation, Georgia said in the plateau language with a slight local accent: "An evil creature has appeared in my home and I would like your help in removing it." Lumian understood several words and probably guessed what Georgia was asking for, but he still looked at Lugano calmly, waiting for him to translate. After Lugano repeated Georgia's words in Intis, Lumian suddenly laughed: "I'm sorry, I forgot to ask you, my beautiful lady, to sit down. "The great adventurer Gehrman Sparrow taught us that courtesy is important." Lumian pointed to the sofa area in the living room, sat down on the sofa, raised his right hand, and tried to stroke the head of Ludwig who was eating snacks there like a godfather. Ludwig moved quickly to avoid the behavior of this person who treated him like a child. Seeing Georgia sitting on the single sofa, Lumian gently shook his golden straw hat, leaned forward slightly and said: "Since it is an evil creature, why don't you just ask the clergy of the Church of Mother Earth to deal with it?" Giorgia looked at Lugano next to her and listened attentively to his retelling. She pursed her slightly thick lips and answered in the plateau dialect: "We don't want the church to know about this, as it will damage our family's reputation." So you came to entrust me, a foreigner who will leave after watching the sea prayer ceremony? And you also came after confirming that I have the ability to deal with that evil creature... Lumian turned his eyes away from Lugano, thought for a while and said: "Tell me more about that evil creature." After a few seconds, Georgia carefully considered her words and said: “It was like a lizard without a tail, and it attacked everyone in the house, and it killed several maids and servants, eating their blood and flesh. “Our family’s bodyguards shot at it and injured it but couldn’t kill it because it had strong scales, so we drove it to the basement and locked it inside.
"We thought it would slowly die of starvation and thirst, but almost two weeks later, it was still alive and trying to break open the basement door." It doesn't sound very dangerous. It can be repelled with ordinary guns... It didn't say why the big lizard appeared. This seems to be the reason why they are unwilling to ask the "Mother Earth" Church and the local government to deal with it... Lumian thoughtfully compared the few words he understood with the content translated by Lugano, confirming that the guide should not have added or subtracted anything. He then asked calmly: "Were there any casualties among the bodyguards?" After the translator's retelling, Georgia slowly shook her head: "No one died. Two were injured, but not seriously. Well, that monster made the whole room feel like it was dragged into the deep sea, affecting normal movements." It was like being dragged into the deep sea... As expected, there were some extraordinary performances, but they seemed relatively weak... Deep sea... Lumian suddenly became interested and asked seriously about the details. After some discussion, Georgia said in a soft voice: "Mr. Louis Berry, we are willing to pay you rizos for this, but you need to promise not to publicize this matter." gold rizos? According to your description, the monster is worth at most 5000 gold rizos, and the remaining 1 is hush money, right? Lumian smiled and said in poor highland language: "no problem." Then, he stood up and said in Intis: "I want to see the situation on the spot." Giorgia stood up and listened to Lugano's translation. She was not surprised at Louis Berry's request - she had dealt with many adventurers and bounty hunters, and knew that observing the scene, understanding the target, and careful preparation were one of the keys for the elites in this field to solve problems and survive. "Now?" Georgia asked as if to confirm. Lumian understood the word and responded in the same highland language: "Now." He immediately put on a golden straw hat and walked towards the door, adding in Intis: "Also, prepare a good dinner for me, my godson, and my translator." After listening to the translation, Georgia was stunned for a moment. She looked at Lumian's back and felt that this adventurer seemed a little different from those she had known before. ………… Santa Lana Street, Santa Puerto. Located in the northeast of the city, there are multi-story villas with their own gardens, lawns and stables. Giorgia's home is at No. 21 on this street. The five-story villa has a brown-red exterior wall and statues of many angels and saints from the "Mother Earth" Church, as well as symbols representing waves and fisheries. Lumian, wearing a golden straw hat and holding the hand of Ludwig, who was carrying a red schoolbag, followed Georgia and her maid and butler into the hall of the villa. This is also a large dance floor with no cover above, leading directly to the dome. As soon as he entered here, Lumian felt that there were hidden eyes looking at him from behind the circular railings on the second, third, fourth and fifth floors. It is indeed a family gathering, there are so many people... Lumian did not look up, but smiled and sighed to himself. None of the peeping people showed up, so Georgia called two bodyguards who were legally armed and took Lumian and the others down the stairs to the second-floor basement. The iron-black door here was tightly closed. As if it sensed someone approaching, the iron gate banged as if it was being hit hard by some powerful creature.
"It's inside." Georgia raised her right hand with a complicated expression and pointed at the iron door. Lumian understood this sentence completely without Lugano translating. He pressed the golden straw hat on his head and said in a commanding tone: "Take my godson to the living room for pre-dinner dessert." As he spoke, he walked towards the subway gate without looking back. After hearing what Lugano said, Giorgia and her maid quickly led Ludwig back to the ground. One of the bodyguards quickly caught up with Lumian with a serious expression and handed him a silver-black key. Immediately afterwards, the two bodyguards drew their pistols, one squatted and the other stood, and aimed at the iron gate at the same time to prevent the monster from taking the opportunity to escape. Lumian slowly inserted the key into the keyhole and turned it with a click. He then threw down the key and pushed the iron door open with one hand. In an instant, the monster's figure appeared in his eyes: It was a humanoid lizard, with a large number of shiny, solid scales scattered all over its body. The areas not covered with scales revealed slippery and evil snake-like skin. Both of the monster's eyes were erect, their color was very light, almost transparent, and there were many sharp teeth forming a vortex in its mouth. Almost at the same time, Lumian felt the air around him become quite heavy, wrapping around him like a yoke, obviously affecting his normal movements. It also felt damp, making him feel as if he had dived into the deep sea and was under pressure from all directions. The humanoid lizard pounced forward, and Lumian's body moved towards the enemy as if being sucked by a whirlpool. But there was always an obvious smile on the corner of his mouth, and he tried to turn his body sideways calmly. Suddenly, it seemed as if the hidden power in his body burst out, allowing him to break free from the constraints of the air. Lumian quickly turned half sideways and swung his right fist from bottom to top. Suddenly, a red-to-white flame first ignited from his fist, and then spread to his forearm, as if dragging out a gorgeous fire snake. boom! This punch hit the humanoid lizard's chest and abdomen hard, and the flames compressed suddenly. Boom! The humanoid lizard flew back, and the shiny scales on its chest and abdomen splashed, and a huge wound was directly blasted out. Lumian did not chase after him. Instead, he put one hand in his pocket, changed his right fist into a palm, and gently pushed forward. Red and white fireballs gathered in front of him and whizzed into the wound in the chest and abdomen of the humanoid lizard. Rumble! The monster was instantly torn into pieces, with blood and flesh scattered all over the ground. Lumian looked at it for a few seconds, pressed the golden straw hat on his head, turned around, and walked towards the stairs leading to the ground. The two bodyguards who were on guard with guns still maintained their original posture and had not yet come to their senses and figured out what had happened. Lumian did not "wake" them up and walked up the stairs step by step. Giorgia on the ground heard the explosion and left the small living room with Lugano, heading towards the stairs, just in time to see Lumian coming up.
"Are you sure the situation is OK?" the lady asked with concern. Lumian smiled and said: "already solved." (End of this chapter)
