After guessing, Lumian's gaze subconsciously swept over "Mouse" Christo and "Giant" Simon.
He felt that the option of "cannon fodder" was not very likely, because the Extraordinary who grew up by taking potions was different from the evil **** scroller who relied on gifts. They were not Chinese cabbage in the field, and they could have as many as they wanted. First, they had to have the corresponding materials, and second, they had to have enough time. When it came to the mid-sequence, they had to see if they were lucky enough, or if they had mastered the "playing method".
If the three of them are really used as cannon fodder in this mission, there is a high probability that they will not be able to recover the Extraordinary characteristics, and this takes up Gardner. Martin controls half of the power in the underground world of the Market District.
As a member of the secret organization "Jagged Cross", Gardner. Martin can certainly afford such a loss, but he will not make such a big sacrifice for unimportant things.
And if the task is important enough, sending only one Sequence 7 plus two Sequence 8s is obviously not enough, Gardner. Doesn't Martin worry about failure?
With this understanding, Lumian quickly revised his guess: This is either a preliminary test for him with a low-risk mission. It doesn’t matter whether “Mouse” Christo and “Giant” Simon know about it, or it is indeed a very important and dangerous action. While using the three of them as cannon fodder, there is also a strong person to provide the final guarantee. This is also a test.
Thinking of this, Lumian's first reaction was to look at Gardner. Martin, taking on the task with a voice full of enthusiasm and confidence, portrays a young man struggling to find opportunities for advancement.
If it is the first possibility, this is the best chance for him to show himself, but if it is the second possibility, Lumian still has Mr. K's finger lying quietly in his pocket as a trump card. At that time, if he really wants to expose his secret of being a member of the "Aurora Society" in order to survive, he will give up the mission of the "Jagged Cross Society".
As long as you don't die, you can wait for other opportunities!
——After the disaster brought by the "Shadow Tree", Lumian rushed to Gardner. Before Martin started his investigation, he immediately went to the headquarters of "Psychic" magazine and met Mr. K.
He concealed his experience inside the "Tree of Shadows", and only said that a sudden change occurred in the market area, and he and others were trapped in a strange wilderness. After that, the giant brown and green tree there sank, Susanna. Matisse appeared and began to draw everyone's energy. In order to fight against the "Fallen Dryad", he used that finger to create a "flesh robe" with strong defensive capabilities, but he did not wait for additional help.
Later, relying on the further settlement of the brown and green giant tree, relying on Susanna. Matisse was extremely weak, relying on the involvement of the other two Extraordinary beings present, relying on his newly acquired "Pyromancer" ability and the "Corrupted Mercury" brought out from Kordu Village, he barely defeated the enemy and eliminated her.
This is all the truth, but the sequence, time and place, and a few details are imitated. There is no problem in logic. After listening to Mr. K, not only did he have no doubts, but he sighed, reminding Lumian not to rely too much on his fingers, because there are many ways to isolate the mystical connection between him and his fingers.
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 confronting divine creatures, relying on Mr. K's fingers, even if he cannot turn defeat into victory, he still has a great chance of escaping.
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 little 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 mind of the boss, I should be able to perceive the unusualness and possible danger of the mission. If I agree to it without asking the reason and not observing it, it will make him suspect that I have other purposes and other reliance." Then a series of thoughts flashed through Lumian's mind.
"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."
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 market area, the memorial hall area, the botanical garden area, and the underground area of the observatory area, but it is drawn in great detail, as if sneaking into the municipal department and copying it according to the original materials.
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.
"That Trier of the Quaternary? 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.
In the end, he said with emotion: "Six years ago, Albert Goncourt, the leader of the rebels and the planner of the great riot, relied on the mine he discovered and named, so that he escaped the search of the ground by the army, police and official Beyonders, and survived."
Six years ago...rebels...big riots... Hearing these words, Lumian instantly remembered what he had seen and heard: During the war with the Kingdom of Loen, Trier's prices soared and food was so expensive that people were desperate, which triggered a large 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 don't 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 it will have the opportunity to be further promoted.
Lumian smiled: What about the ones that can't pass? Died on the spot?
