Chapter 162: The Normante Truth
Lewis was horrified by the foresight, and now that his promotion was complete, he decided to talk to Detective Intis tomorrow and get Miss Stephanie's ticket as soon as possible.
"Maybe I need a ticket too, I'm going to get out of here as soon as possible to find the potion formula, the water in Enmat Harbor is deep."
Feeling his newfound power, Lewis left the beach, already possessing the extraordinary trait of Sequence 5 "Winner", as long as he fully digested the "Priest of Calamity" potion and obtained the potion formula, he could be promoted.
Finding a dark hotel in the middle of nowhere, Lewis stayed for the time being, and waited for dawn.
Even at night, the situation in the port of Enmat was tense, and he could occasionally hear the sound of high-heeled leather shoes walking outside the window, no doubt the gangsters were looking for him.
Early in the morning, before the sky was fully bright, Lewis rushed to the detective agency and knocked on the door of the detective agency.
The detective yawned and opened the door, letting Lewis in and locking it again.
The light of the gas lamp flickered constantly, the detective boiled hot water, and the boiled kettle made a "whine" sound.
"Mr. Lewis, are you here today for the ferry ticket?"
"That's right, I need two tickets, and I need to bring one more person with me." Lewis spoke, and he decided that he too would leave by boat.
"Two hundred pounds!" The detective opened the price, which was about ten times more expensive than the official ferry ticket.
"Deal, I'll go on a boat tomorrow night." Lewis gave the money to the detective and got the voucher to get on board.
The detective simply brewed a cup of black tea, which was so rich that it was bitter, much worse than that brewed by the maid.
He said lightly: "Mr. Lewis, do you have any new ideas about the investigation I commissioned, about Wells?" ”
Lewis took a sip of black tea, shook his head, and said:
"Sorry, you have too little information to provide, and I can't look into any more.
However, I recently met another survivor of the Normante, named Bazel, a former member of the Church of the Storm's Substitute Punisher team, who has escaped from Port Emmatt and is not sure where he will go. ”
"Bazel?" The detective frowned, turned around and rummaged through the cupboard behind him, eventually handing Lewis a few pages of information.
"That's all I can give you, and if you can find anything else about the Normante, write to me and let me know the address here."
Lewis flipped through the materials that contained more cryptic information about the missing businessman, Wells, and one of them caught his attention.
"Wells believes in the Eternal Sun, and he is a sincere believer in the Eternal Sun, and two years ago, he took a cruise to Rune with a mission."
The "Hanged Man" said that the Church of the Eternal Sun had lost a Level 1 seal two years ago, which was suspected to have been stolen by pirates, and they are still looking for it.
Connecting multiple messages, Lewis had a rough guess in his mind:
Two years ago, the Normante traveled from Intis to Rune, a luxury cruise ship that was not only used to escort passengers, but also had a deeper purpose, which was to transport a Class 1 seal.
Presumably in order to conceal the eyes and ears of others, this seal was not transported with a powerful transcendent, but instead chose a sincere believer of the Eternal Sun.
But for some unknown reason, some pirates learned about this and put the idea of sealing it.
One day, a pirate infiltrated the Normante and did not hesitate to cause a tragedy in search of the Tier 1 seal.
When nearly half of the ship's occupants were dead, the pirates who had infiltrated managed to lock up the person in possession of the seal, and the pirates boarded the ship, took the seal, and killed almost all of the survivors.
Guessing the ins and outs of the matter, Lewis's heart trembled slightly, how did those pirates know about the seals?
It is clear that there are pirate people within the Church of the Eternal Sun.
Knock knock!
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door of the detective agency from outside, and Lewis had a scene outside the door, a man in a black trench coat standing outside the door, seemingly impatient.
At the same time, he heard sounds around the detective agency, and someone was heading towards it.
"I'm sorry, I think we're in trouble, the gangsters have been found." Lewis calmly took a sip of tea and reminded.
The detective's face sank, and he led Lewis up to the second floor.
Lewis climbed out of the second-floor window, using the power of his cane to blend in with the shadows, and then flipped onto the roof of the house, fortunately the detective agency was not on a high floor.
Searching for shadows, Lewis cautiously walked across the roof tiles, trying to make sure the cane's extraordinary abilities would always work.
After walking more than ten meters in a row, Lewis breathed a sigh of relief, and the surrounding sounds had disappeared, and it seemed to be safe.
He jumped from the roof, exposed to the gray shimmer.
Suddenly, Lewis's eyes flickered, and the surrounding scenery distorted, and a knight in black armor stepped out of the shadows, and the knight stabbed at him with a pitch-black sword in his hand.
He ran forward, but the knights became several and surrounded him from all sides.
But these were just things that happened in a dream, and in reality, Lewis only paused for a moment before immediately waking up.
He rolled forward, dodging an air bullet that sank deep into the stone wall, crumbling it into a small crater.
But the matter was far from over, and at the place where Lewis landed, a shadow flew over.
The shadow struck Lewis, and a bright red, blood-like flower bloomed, and then the flower withered and disappeared into the flesh.
Shocked in his heart, Lewis forcibly pulled a piece of nail from his left hand, and he wrapped his hair around the nail and threw it on the ground.
"Sneer......"
At the moment when the nail was thrown, the blue flame burst into flames, and the nail immediately turned to ashes.
"Pull people into dreams, curses, air bullets!"
He hurriedly ran into the distance, and the means he had just exposed involved three different transcendent abilities.
Now it is certain that the people of the Enmat Brotherhood have appeared, and more than one transcendent has appeared, and in order to kill him, the other party has indeed made a bloody investment.
Now the only question is why these people will find him, he himself has the characteristics of anti-divination, and through divination there is basically no correct answer.
If a gang member sees his face clearly, then he should be the first to find out, unless that gang member has anti-divination properties.
Running to the end of the street, Lewis heard someone singing a hymn, which exploded in his ears like thunder, and his mind went blank.
All he wanted now was to kill the man who sang the hymn.
