Chapter 555: False and True (asking for double monthly tickets at the beginning of the month) Lumian was not surprised at all when the current "Governor of the Sea" asked for help. He raised his left hand, touched his ear, and said in Intis: "what are you saying? "The only word I understood was 'help.' The current "Governor of the Sea" who was disguised as a woman was dumbfounded, as if he had not expected that there would be a language barrier between the two sides. He took great pains and risked his life to run to this street to wait for Louis Berry, but he could not understand what the other party said, nor could he convey his request! Lumian maintained his persona of not knowing the highland language, and calmly took out a dark red absorbent pen and a stack of sticky notes and handed them over: "Write down everything you want to say and I'll find someone to translate it." He still used Intis this time, but he used a pen to demonstrate writing gestures to tell the other party what to do. If this "Governor of the Sea" is illiterate and can't write Plateau language, then it will be troublesome... can only communicate with individual words and body language? I don't want to reveal that I can speak Plateau language now... Lumian thought with some worry. Whether it is Intis or Feynaport, there are many illiterate people. The "Governor of the Sea" was stunned for a moment, then he understood what the great adventurer Louis Berry meant. He took the fountain pen and note paper and began to write. Lumian watched calmly. Although he was standing opposite him, he could easily see what the other person was writing thanks to his Hunter vision and spatial imagination. "Please help me and rescue me from Santa Port!
"I'm not the real 'Governor of the Sea'!" Not the real "Governor of the Sea"... Lumian suppressed the urge to raise his eyebrows and did not ask directly, but just kept staring as if he did not understand those words at all. He wanted to see what the current "Governor of the Sea" would write next, and then consider how to ask the question. The man in women's clothing paused for two seconds and continued writing: "The real 'Governor of the Sea' died during the sea-praying ceremony last year." Dead? The real "Governor of the Sea" died during the sea prayer ceremony? Seeing this, Lumian suddenly felt a great joy in his heart. Finally I saw the tail end of those core members of “April Fool’s Day”! One of the results of their prank last year was that the designated "Governor of the Sea" failed to successfully perform the sea-praying ceremony, suffered the backlash of supernatural powers, and lost his life! This is consistent with what was revealed by the son of Ota Guillaume, the owner of the Solo Hotel, who works as a clerk in a government department, regarding an increase in shipwrecks, a decrease in fish catches, and trade difficulties. The fake "Governor of the Sea" wrote very quickly, as if someone might chase him at any time: "I was chosen by Juan Oro and the Fisheries Guild to impersonate the 'Governor of the Sea' for a year because I look similar to the real 'Governor of the Sea'. This is to prevent the fishermen and merchants from knowing that they have made a big mistake and that there are loopholes that have led to the failure of the sea prayer ceremony, which has not happened in the past few hundred years. "Now that I know this secret, they will definitely not let me leave alive. When the handover ceremony of the 'Governor of the Sea' is completed and the vigil begins, I will definitely be killed. "I didn't want to pretend to be the 'Governor of the Sea' at all, it was a blasphemy to the sea, but they pointed a gun at me and told me that they had killed a man who refused to cooperate with them. "Neither the church nor the government is willing to get involved in the affairs of the Fisheries Guild. You are the only one who dares to break into the residence of the 'Governor of the Sea' and threaten Juan Oro with a gun. I can only ask you for help. I have saved a lot of money this year, and I can give it all to you, 10 gold rizos! "I have heard about your deeds in the past few days. I believe you have the ability. I beg you to help me!" His education level is not low... Lumian looked at the three completed notes and felt that the fake "Governor of the Sea" was not like an ordinary fisherman, peddler or worker in terms of grammar or vocabulary. Phew… After writing down what he wanted and why, the fake “Governor of the Sea” put down the fountain pen and pushed three pieces of notepaper filled with highland language words to Lumian. Lumian only took a quick glance and then carefully used words in the Highland language and body language to say: "help? "Where are your family members?" The fake "Governor of the Sea" quickly wrote down his answer: "My parents passed away a few years ago, and I have no other relatives. I used to be an employee of a fishing company." No wonder Juan Oro and his men dared to "kidnap" this man to be the "Governor of the Sea". The Church of the "Mother Earth Goddess" only cares about the internal affairs of the Fisheries Guild. If it really affects other citizens, they will still deal with it... Lumian put on an attitude of asking now and finding someone to translate the answer later and said:
"Maid, pregnant?" He was asking what was going on with the maids in the "Governor of the Sea"'s mansion and why one of them was pregnant. The fake "Governor of the Sea" wore a blue veil, which did not reveal any changes in his expression. With his right hand trembling slightly, he wrote: "The 'Governor of the Sea' will be treated like the ruler of Santa Port. He can appoint anyone from Milo Village, the Fishery Guild, and those maritime merchant families as his maids and guards at will. He can do whatever he wants, and he can also come directly to the door and enjoy the treatment of the master. "I couldn't help it." Seeing this, Lumian almost laughed out loud. In a prisoner-like state, would you still want to do that? Or, would you feel that you can't escape and will definitely die, so you should enjoy yourself while you can? The fake "Governor of the Sea" also wrote: "I can also tax those people and force them to share their market share, and they will all listen to me, but I dare not go too far, otherwise Juan Oro will beat me with his crutches in private and threaten to kill me." Is this how you save money? Well, there is no part about controlling the weather and tides, after all, he is a fake governor... After Lumian took the new note written by the fake "Governor of the Sea", he thought for a moment and said in a clumsy and awkward way: "Originally, Governor, where?" This is asking about the whereabouts of the previous "Governors of the Sea". ——The Battle Sister Noelia of the Order of the Abundant Harvest had not mentioned the relevant situation before. I don’t know whether they thought it was not important, or they didn’t want to talk about it for some reason, or maybe they didn’t have the corresponding information. The fake "Governor of the Sea" wrote: "I have no idea. "I just heard a maid from Milo Village, she is Juan Oro's granddaughter, she said that all the 'Governors of the Sea' will eventually return to the sea." Returning to the sea... This doesn't sound like a good thing... Haha, you actually designated Juan Oro's granddaughter as your maid. Are you trying to take revenge on her for the intimidation and oppression she received from her grandfather? And Juan Oro actually agreed. He didn't agree in person, but wanted to come back privately and beat you up by the way? Juan Oro and his sons all married "maidens of the sea". There is a certain probability that his granddaughter is a lizard-like monster... If you knew that you were sleeping with a humanoid lizard, how would you feel? Lumian secretly criticized this fake "Governor of the Sea". He thought about it for a moment, as if he had no idea what the other person was writing, and changed the question: "Juan Oro, is he awesome?" The fake "Governor of the Sea" shuddered suddenly. He quickly wrote: "He's very strong, he's a monster! He can suffocate people to death, a painful death!" After writing this, the fake "Governor of the Sea" looked up at the sunlight outside the window, put down his fountain pen, stood up, and bowed to Lumian. Then he turned around, swaying his gorgeous long skirt, walked towards the back door of the cafe and left. He seemed to be worried that if he "disappeared" for too long while shopping, he would arouse suspicion from his bodyguards. Lumian looked at his back, crumpled up the sticky notes and held them in his palm. Red flames seeped out from between his fingers and quickly disappeared. After sprinkling the ashes into the bottle containing the bouquet, Lumian picked up the unfinished Toler coffee and took a sip. His thoughts raced as he analyzed the information he was most concerned about: "Is what the fake guy said just now true? As an ordinary person, he was able to find a chance to get rid of the 'bodyguards' and sneak over to me. Could it be that he was secretly instructed by Juan Oro and others to set a trap for me and wait for me to jump into it? "In an April Fool's Day prank, a custom-made gold ring without extraordinary powers was hidden inside the lamb, and the lamb was taken to the ship of the Governor of the Sea as a sacrifice...
"'April Fools' is supposed to be replacing something with this ring, is there a sacrificial ring just like it? "The reason why the candidate for the 'Governor of the Sea' failed last year was because the key sacrificial ring turned out to be a fake and could not function? "This means that there are core members of April Fools' Day or their subordinates on that special boat. Otherwise, it would be impossible to hide it from the members of the Fisheries Association and replace the important items without their knowledge... "According to the intelligence we have obtained so far, there are not many sailors on that ship, and the passengers are only the 'Governor of the Sea', four 'Maidens of the Sea', and a few people who are responsible for guiding them in the ceremony. Among them, who could be related to 'April Fools' Day'? "The Fisheries Association must have conducted an investigation afterwards, but I don't know if there is any conclusion... "It is possible that the death of the 'Governor of the Sea' was related to 'April Fools' Day', because he might have been completely fooled and thought that by replacing the ring and making the ritual fail, he would not have to return to the sea like the previous 'Governors of the Sea'. As a result, the 'Bard', the 'Mad Woman' and the 'Ultraman' did not care about his life or death at all... "What is the purpose of doing this on April Fools' Day? Is it just a prank to please yourself, or is there a deeper intention? "Ordinary April Fools' Day members may just be looking for something to amuse themselves, but as for the core members, the truth and lies are always mixed together..." Lumian sat in the cafe until the sun was about to set below the horizon, then he put on the straw hat and slowly returned to the Solo Hotel. Late at night, Lugano came back from the bar, smelling of alcohol, and approached Lumian and said: “I asked those adventurers and bounty hunters about Butner and his lover, and they all said that they hadn’t seen them in the past few days. "Once they arrived in Santapuerto, they just disappeared." Disappeared? As the child of the Maid of the Sea, if Nolfi had just returned to Santa Port and the Fisheries Guild, she wouldn't be so mysterious... She wanted to do something about the sea prayer ceremony and persuaded Bartner? As a result, she was targeted as soon as she returned? She might know a lot... I can't go to them in person now, and I have to show up more recently as a great adventurer... Lugano is not very reliable... What about Sister Noelia? A series of speculations flashed through Lumian's mind. His thoughts raced, and he suddenly knew what he should ask the "Knight of the Sword" for help.
