In the afternoon, the salty sea breeze is mixed with a biting cold, and only the sun can bring a warm and comfortable feeling.

Lewis sat in front of the window, the corner of the tiled letter in front of him blown by the sea breeze, and he wrote on the letterhead:

"I've heard that the Church of the Night keeps mermaids in captivity at the local Night Herb Beach, have you heard about it? If I could, I'd like to know some details about the mermaids about my chances of promotion.

Also, is there any news about the supernatural properties of the Calamity Sea Serpent? If there is any news, remember to notify me as soon as possible. ”

After writing the letter, Lewis tucked it into a blank envelope and recited the incantation:

"The spirit that wanders in vanity;

Beings from the upper realm driven by man;

Belongs to Paul alone. Saxon messenger ......"

As the incantation was recited, a hole seemed to appear in the floor, and inside the hole, the blue water continued to surge.

Suddenly, a shark emerged from beneath the floor, its head half exposed, its mouth open, as if waiting for Lewis's delivery.

That's right, this shark is the one summoned by the bell, except that it doesn't belong to Mr. Red Dragon, but to Paul.

"Rub!"

Lewis hurriedly lowered his hat to cover his face, and then retreated into the shadows, completely shielding his image.

When he sent the letter before, his identity was Mr. Red Dragon, but now he sends the letter, but his identity is Mr. Red Dragon's dependent.

This is not a very good thing, and if the messenger told Paul about it, he could have imagined the other man and him turning against him.

"It shouldn't be discovered, there aren't many spirit creatures that can speak human language, and Crane's messenger can be considered unique.

Every messenger with a high IQ is rare, and their owner has a great background.

What's more, I've dealt with this messenger a few times, and it doesn't recognize me as the real 'Mr. Red Dragon', but rather the kind of messenger who can only deliver letters and has no brains. ”

With the psychology of luck, Lewis stuffed the letter into the shark's mouth and said tentatively in his original voice:

"That silver coin will be paid for by Paul."

The shark didn't go, it waited, as if it would strike if it didn't throw a silver coin.

After a stalemate with the messenger for about a minute, Lewis still threw a silver coin in distress, which was worth about 10 soles, which was already quite expensive.

However, the Courier's performance reassured Lewis a bit, because it really had no brains, and would only follow the predetermined process.

It was only when the messenger left that Lewis came out of the shadows, his figure gradually revealing in the sunlight, and sighed silently:

"It seems that the messengers summoned by the bell belong to Mr. Red Dragon's minions, and while those messengers only follow the rules, I'd better be careful."

Lewis was a little helpless, and many times, too many identities are not necessarily a good thing.

In order to maintain these statuses, he had to work hard.

After sending the letter, Lewis went out to the Stronghold Bar to continue participating in the game of "dog and mouse".

He was very concerned about the transcendent he met at the Deep Sea Auction House yesterday, and the other party launched an attack on him using tarot cards as a weapon.

Of course, the end result was that he dodged the attack and took the opportunity to experience what it was like to digest potions.

It's just that the other party's ability reminds him of the "magician", the transcendent of this sequence not only has superb fighting skills, but also has a variety of extraordinary abilities, if they meet head-on, he may not be able to win.

The sun was shining golden, and inside the stronghold, some of the off-duty porters had gathered here, and they occupied almost all the places in the bar.

For them, a beer and a gamble after a busy day are the meaning of life.

"Sit here, lucky gentleman!"

As soon as Lewis entered, a porter near the door immediately gave way, and he said to the bartender:

"I want a glass and a half, and I'll pay."

The so-called half and half is exactly the kind of liquor that these poor porters liked, which sold for only two pence, and was a liquor made by mixing inferior beer with high-strength liquor.

This kind of wine is cheap, and it is easy to get drunk, so you can spend a small amount of money and experience the pleasure of drinking.

Lewis sat in that position, and just by sitting down, he could feel the signs of potion digestion, which meant that many people in the bar knew about his reputation.

However, this is not good news, the more people who know him, the less money he makes, after all, there are fewer people who lose money.

After taking a sip of half and a half, Lewis had a spicy and bitter taste in his mouth, and the taste of this wine was indeed average, and it was even difficult to enjoy.

"Buy me number 2." Lewis handed the porter a sular note, and the suckler happily took the money, and he weighed himself 5 sheles, which was already all the cash he had on him.

The game of "Dog Catches Mouse" officially began, and soon, Dog No. 2 caught the mouse.

Lewis took the winnings, and he only won 1 Suller with 1 Suller, which is a bit bleak compared to the first time.

"It seems that I have to find another way to farm my luck value, and in a few days, when my reputation is known to everyone, it will be difficult to make money.

When the time comes, the lucky gentleman will no longer be lucky. ”

However, the worker who gave up his seat to Lewis was so happy that he was worth two days' wages after only one game.

"Lucky gentleman, would you like another beer?" The stevedore asked again.

Lewis didn't answer, he just handed the worker 1 Souler again and asked him to bet on the No. 3 sheepdog.

The stevedores happily took the money again and made a heavy bet on the 3......

After three rounds of betting, Lewis stopped playing the game, and the progress of the potion digestion was still felt, but it was a little slower than the previous days.

While drinking, Lewis kept an eye on the billiard room, where Miss Stephanie usually comes every morning to play billiards.

It's just that he didn't see the young lady again for two days in a row.

Suddenly, Lewis's inspiration was struck, and he immediately put down his beer glass and entered a spare card room.

Then he locked the door and made a sealed spiritual wall.

On the wall, a shark poked its head out, clutching a letter in its teeth.

Lewis took the letter, and the shark burrowed back into the wall.

When the letter is opened, a yellowed piece of paper is revealed, which reads in the official language of Rune:

"Mr. Dependent,

I have word about the transcendent properties of the Calamity Sea Serpent, and someone is willing to trade the 'Bitter Guts of the Calamity Sea Serpent', and I introduced you to him.

If it's convenient, go to Dock 18 tomorrow night and you'll see him.

As for the mermaid at Nightshade Beach, I advise you not to fight its idea, there is a spirit witch guarding there, and it will be difficult for us to achieve our goal. ”

His mind was clear, and he didn't even want to be an enemy of a spirit witch, not at all like a "shepherd...... Lewis was a little surprised, he thought that the secret way of praying was all hidden madmen, but now it seems that Paul was not.

It is only when "Mr. Red Dragon" is mentioned that this "shepherd" shows a crazy, persistent side.
