Before stepping onto the public carriage, Lumian made a special effort to spend six licks on purchasing a copy of the Psychic magazine, disguising himself as someone attending a gathering of mysticism enthusiasts at 19 Rue Scheer.
He worried that Gardner Martin, the boss of the Savoie Mob, might secretly tail him to ascertain if something was amiss.
While he could employ some anti-tracking methods to try and shake off potential pursuers, wouldn't that raise more suspicion?
In comparison, it would be more convincing to pose as a naive country bumpkin who had recently arrived in Trier and stumbled upon the Beyonder path. Such an individual would naturally crave knowledge about mysticism, leading to the purchase of Psychic and other magazines. Occasionally attending various gatherings of mysticism enthusiasts would solidify the facade.
In truth, this tale held some merit.
