Lewis smiled indifferently, and now, there were two options in front of him.

The first is to decisively refuse the lady's invitation, which is equivalent to slapping the Sauron family in the face, and he will definitely be hated.

The second option is to do a dance, which is equivalent to courting the Sauron family, and the Sauron family is likely to propose a marriage next.

Either way, he will be in big trouble next, and he may even be involved in the maelstrom of political struggles.

In front of these big families that have existed for thousands of years, an ordinary businessman is so helpless, especially after having use value.

Suddenly, a third option occurred to Lewis, and he stretched out his right hand and bent down, "This is my pleasure, beautiful young lady." ”

The lady placed her hand on Lewis's palm, and after Lewis had said goodbye, they went to the dance floor below.

As if it had been made for Lewis, the music on the dance floor came to an abrupt halt, and as Lewis arrived, the music began again.

Lewis let out a long sigh and complained in a voice that only two people could hear, "If only you were a man, I'm not interested in women." ”

The lady's face changed suddenly, and even her dancing steps were disordered.

When this dance was over, he really didn't receive any more invitations from the Sauron family, after all, if the Sauron family really launched a male marriage, it would really be shameless.

For these big families with a long history, the most important thing is face, and for this, they can even give up some interests appropriately.

When the dance was over in the early hours of the morning, Lewis stayed in his room at the Sauron house, feeling uneasy.

His inspiration was touched by something, and he could sense that there was danger lurking here.

"It's not aimed at me, it's just, why do I have a sense of familiarity with the source of the danger?

Is it because I've seen it before, or have I been exposed to it indirectly? ”

After a night of sleep, Lewis left early the next morning and returned to Snout Manor.

The sense of danger made him unable to sleep peacefully, so he had to stay up until dawn the next day.

At the dinner table, Mrs. Slant seemed to be in a good mood, and she was always smiling.

"Mr. Lewis, is your power station built?" Mrs. Slunt asked.

"It will be completed in the near future, and in a few days, the streets of the King's District will be brighter than ever, and the night-time economy will be developed." Lewis wiped the food scraps from the corners of his mouth and said, "Please let me go back and rest first, it's really tiring to promote AC." ”

Lewis got up and went back to his room, and after a night of sleep, he fell asleep on the velvet bed, somewhat satisfied.

The early morning sun shone through the dark curtains, and Lewis frowned in his sleep.

He dreamed again of darkness, and Miss Windsor prayed in the only light.

This time, Lewis's vision expanded, and a vine stretched out of the darkness towards him, with a flower bone on the vine.

The flower bones bloomed right in front of him, revealing an insider, like a genital.

Faced with this strange scene, instead of wanting to run away, Lewis had a strange affection for the vine.

Subconsciously, he slowly walked towards the light where Miss Windsor was, as if it was the sanctuary he had been pursuing.

Suddenly, a light shone on Lewis, which made Lewis's mind clear in an instant.

He hurriedly closed his eyes and stopped looking at everything in front of him, and the stinging of his spirit woke him up from his sleep.

"Ha ......"

Lewis gasped for air, and a ray of sunlight shone on him as if symbolizing something.

"The erosion of dreams intensified, and this time, I actually saw a part of the Mother Tree of Desire.

I had a hunch that one day when I would be able to peek into the full outward appearance of the Mother Tree of Desire, I would become a true believer in Him.

No, maybe not a believer, but a part of Him, and I will lose my original personality.

However, just as I was about to make contact with the Mother Tree of Desire, a light fell and allowed me to keep myself.

Perhaps, the light shining on Miss Windsor represents the seal, and it is precisely because of the presence of light that the Mother Tree of Desire cannot find me. ”

Lewis tried to decipher the information given by the dream, but there were too few preconditions, and the information he could guess was very limited.

However, he remembered the old angel in Leonard, who had mentioned that he had problems when he first arrived in Beckland.

Perhaps, the old angel Pales knew something.

Suspecting that he had some kind of power, he went to the gray mist to perform an all-round "disinfection" before returning to sleep.

This time, he had a good dream and slept until it was nearly dark and the sun appeared on the horizon.

Upon waking up, Lewis immediately wrote a letter to Leonard, with one of his hairs attached to it.

"I hope I can get the information I want, but Pales didn't dare to say it the first time, and he may not dare to say it now."

About half an hour after the letter was sent, Lewis sensed a sleepiness, a prompting from the spirit.

He lay down at his desk and fell asleep.

Through the pure white, the city of high-rise buildings appeared in front of him, and in front of his vision was a bell tower, and in the distance he could see a corner of St. Samuel's Cathedral.

The figure of the old angel Pales gradually appeared in front of Lewis's eyes, with a solemn expression.

Lewis bowed, and said in a mellow voice:

"First of all, Mr. Parles, I have met Amun again...... in a manor house in Intis. ”

Pales' face became even more ugly, and he warned:

"Don't play such a low-fun prank on an old man, or I'll give you some color."

I'm just trying to liven up the atmosphere, I didn't expect you to be so cowardly......

Lewis spread his hands and hurriedly got down to business:

"Mr. Parles, Amon said that I could not be parasitized because I had a lot of pollution on me.

In fact, I also found that I had suffered from the pollution of the Mother Tree of Desire, which in recent times has gradually begun to erode my spirit and even try to deprive me of consciousness. ”

Lewis recounted his experiences and doubts in detail, and it seems that the cause of all pollution began with the first meeting of Miss Windsor.

But he believes that pollution has long been deeply rooted in his spirit and body, and it is only after meeting Miss Windsor that pollution begins to awaken.

That's right, if you think of pollution as a living object, it seems to be activated after he meets Miss Windsor.

"You mean, you've been polluted by the Outer Gods, the top-notch, Outer Gods who surpass the true gods?" Pales's expression gradually changed from initial impatience to surprise.

"Yes, if I don't think of a way to deal with this pollution, the next time you see me, you'll probably see the Mother Tree of Desire." Lewis nodded in agreement.
