Chapter 150: The Heart of the Future
Stephanie. Slunt?
Hearing the target's name, Lewis couldn't help but look at Bazel squarely, and take a closer look, Bazel's dress really has a bit of Intis characteristics, and the cropped leggings are the best proof of this.
Lowering his head and straightening his top hat, he asked softly, "Two years ago, did you participate in the Normante tragedy?" ”
With a look of surprise on his face, Bazel's voice inadvertently raised a few points, admitting, "Yes, I am one of the survivors on the ship, and after that incident, I was fortunate enough to come into contact with the Church of the Storm and become an honorable substitute. ”
"I see, it seems that you and Miss Stephanie have known each other for a long time." Lewis thought for a moment and asked again, "What is your relationship with her that is worth spending so much money to save her?" ”
Bazel's gaze was abruptly distracted, slightly glazed, and after a moment he raised his head and said with a little pride:
"She was a radiant girl, she changed my destiny, and I loved her like a seagull chasing land.
This time, it was my turn to change her fate. ”
Lewis smiled faintly, such a straightforward declaration of love was indeed the style of the Intisians, but he was still skeptical of Bazel:
"I doubt the veracity of what you say, if you really love her as much as you say, you should have tried to save Miss Stephanie from two years ago, and you should not have kept her in the hands of the gangsters.
Also, if you want to save her, why not let the Church of the Storm act, the official should be more credible than me, a wild transcendent.
I'd love to know what you're doing, allowing gangs to sell people, and even if you can't deal with it, you can report it to the church headquarters, and maybe the church headquarters will send someone to deal with it. ”
As he questioned, Lewis observed Bazel's attitude to make sure there was no problem with the Storm Church headquarters, otherwise the operation would likely pose unpredictable risks.
Bazel seemed to be in a bit of a hurry, and he argued:
"I'm not lying, I've only recently been informed that Miss Stephanie is still in Port Enmat.
As for what the Storm Church is thinking, I don't know enough, I'm not in high enough standing to be in a position to ask about these things.
But don't worry, in order to gain your trust, I will act with you tonight. ”
Lewis did not speak, and in the presence of Bazel he silently recited the divination statement:
"Bazel is lying......"
After seven silent recitations, Lewis's spirit was able to communicate with the spirit world, and he flicked a brass-colored coin.
The coin spun and jumped and landed in his hand, proving that Bazel was not lying.
"Meet at Cohen Wharf next Thursday at 11 p.m., and if I don't see you, or if I find out that you have a problem, I'll cancel the action immediately."
With that, Lewis left the local Storm Church and waited for Thursday night's action.
The afternoon sun shines on your body, as if even the sea breeze has become gentle and comfortable, and the feeling of relaxation and comfort ripples.
He picked up a five-pound note, and then spent a few souls chatting with the street lady on the street about a pleasant topic, and he could feel that the potion was almost completely digested.
Perhaps, with one more lucky opportunity, he will be able to fully digest the "lucky one" and meet the promotion conditions of the "Priest of Calamity".
……
In the port of Enmat, under the deep-sea auction house, two people were left at the empty auction site.
One of them was short and stocky, the other was tall and thin, the short and fat man was the head of the auction, "Black Panther", and the tall and thin man competed with Lewis for "The Tail of the Calamity Sea Serpent" at the auction.
"I'll give you 500 pounds." The panther put on a blue beret, and disgusting flesh sprouted on his body.
At this moment, his body shape and appearance were changing, and this process lasted for a few minutes, and he turned into a man with blond hair and blue eyes around 173 in height.
"No, you've earned an extra £1,700 by 'the tail of the calamity serpent' alone, and I ask for at least eight hundred pounds." The tall, thin man was wearing an eye patch, and there seemed to be something wrong with his left eye, which was covered.
"Yes, Captain Roland." The panther didn't argue for a little money, and casually agreed.
"I won't stay here for long, and I'll leave on Friday night, when the shipment to the Southern Continent has been processed." Roland said seriously: "I hope you can also come to the dock to take care of the goods, so that I can feel more at ease." ”
"No, the docks are the territory of the 'Gray Wolf', and if I go over, I will definitely clash with him."
The Black Panther smiled and added, "The presence of the 'Gray Wolf' is enough, he alone is enough to fight against an official team of Transcendentals, even the strongest 'Storm Church' will not dare to stand up to us. ”
"I hope you're right." Roland understood this, and he didn't say anything more, but went to the staff and took 800 pounds and a mediocre wallet.
In previous auctions, Roland had twice inflated the price of the lot, which made the auction at least £2,000 more.
……
In the dimly lit confessional room, Bazel sat in front of the cubicle, telling his sins.
As is customary, a clergyman in the chamber will listen and give advice to the lost lambs.
However, it was not yet time for the confessional to open, so Bazel was the only one here.
"Let me thank the Storm Church for taking me in one last time, and if I hadn't met the captain two years ago, I might have starved to death on the streets of Port Enmat.
Only today, I have something I have to do, and after this time, I will leave the Church of the Storm as a way to repent of my actions.
The storm is above, please forgive my sins......"
Bazel closed the door to the confessional, went to the bottom of the gate of Chanis, filled out an application form, and addressed his colleagues on duty:
"Bazel, the substitute penalty, apply for a 'Heart for the Future' in response to the recent port riots."
Heart of the Future:
Code: Seal 2-315.
As long as you wear it, images of the future will appear intermittently, and with the help of these images, the Substitute Punisher Team will be able to avoid most adverse situations and successfully complete mission after mission.
Side effects, the person who holds it will suffer inexplicable bad luck, this bad luck is acceptable for half an hour, unlucky but not fatal, only a few minor injuries.
After half an hour, the bad luck increases, and you must be very careful to avoid it, otherwise, even if you drink water and eat, you may encounter an accident.
After an hour, the wielder will be cursed with Doom, which will follow for at least three days, and will be fatal at any moment, making it almost impossible to survive.
Because the Future Heart is dangerous, three people need to act together and take turns holding the item.
Of course, the "Heart of the Future" is just the name of the seal, but Bazel knows that this seal comes from the "Calamity Sea Serpent", which is the product of the hunting of the Calamity Sea Serpent, and its material name is "The Bitter Gall of the Calamity Sea Serpent".
