Chapter 253: Hearts and Mouths Are Inconsistent
Although Klein's blessing was long overdue, Lewis still escaped the interrogation of the army, perhaps because of the integration of the "Key of Light", which made his soul highly resistant.
Staying in his solitary cell, Lewis let out a breath, sipping on his freshly brewed coffee, waiting for someone to bail him out.
As a qualified butler, Walsh would go to the nobles or wealthy people he knew for help at the first moment of his problems.
At 11 o'clock, Lewis's lawyer arrived, and with the help of his guarantor, Count Hall, he was able to leave the police station and ride in the carriage of Count Hall's family.
"Thank you, Earl Hall." In the carriage, Lewis took off his top hat and thanked Earl Hall.
Earl Hall looked at Lewis with his piercing blue eyes and said softly, "It's just a trivial matter, and you'll be in more trouble as long as you try to introduce alternating current into Bakeland." ”
He thought it was a commercial dispute...... Lewis didn't break Earl Hall's speculation, but couldn't help but sigh that many times, businessmen really need an interest group.
At the very least, many people will try to help you because of their own interests.
At the Lewis family's mansion, the carriage paused slightly, and Lewis got out of the carriage and said goodbye to Earl Hall.
He was a little apprehensive, and what he promised to Gleilynt before might be difficult to fulfill.
Suddenly, he looked to the left and said:
"Shirley, go to the Tasok Bridge, I have an acquaintance who wants to see you, just don't go too far."
"Yes, Mr. Lewis."
The footsteps were getting farther and farther away, and Lewis opened the pocket watch on his chest to take a look, even if Shirley took the fastest subway to go, it would be half past twelve when she got there, not to mention, the subway was already out of service.
Lewis returned to the room, and the valet brought hot milk, to which he added a few sugar cubes and prepared for a good night's sleep.
"Wait, I was just interrogated by the army today, and it stands to reason that my body and soul are in poor condition.
If I go to the West End now and visit that rich man, I don't think the military will suspect me anymore. ”
Thinking of this, Lewis decided to hold a ritual and asked Crane to borrow the Red Priest card, with which he would be able to use the spirit method to find out the news, and even if he found that the situation was not right, he could slip away in an instant by ending the summon.
Fighting back to his sleepiness, Lewis prepared for the sacrificial ritual.
"Mr. Lewis."
Suddenly, outside the room, Shirley's voice suddenly appeared, obviously she had left two hours ago.
Lewis opened the door and put Shirley into the room, asking, "Did you see Polly. Ian? ”
"Yes, as long as it is your expectation, I will do it." Shirley lifted the hem of her skirt, and she looked more and more like an elegant woman.
Lewis didn't ask about the date process, he wasn't such a gossip after all, and Shirley certainly didn't come at this time to tell him how he felt about dating.
"Do you have any news for me?"
Shirley nodded and said, "Miss Triss wants to see you, she seems to be in a hurry, asking you to rush to the place where we last met tonight. ”
"I know, I won't keep her waiting too long." Lewis put on a half-height silk top hat without expression, and he extinguished the gas lamp in the room and quietly slipped out.
After changing his face, Lewis traveled to Beckland's East End, the slum of Beckland.
By this time, the time had come to the second half of the night, and even the crimson moon had traveled half the way, and the dark clouds had half obscured the moon, causing the bell tower to gradually disappear into darkness.
"Miss Triss, I think you already have the answer." Lewis looked ahead and said softly.
Something like a bubble was punctured, and Triss's figure appeared directly in front of Lewis, and she asked in a cold voice:
"Why are you dealing with the Witch Sect?"
Lewis took off his half-height silk top hat and said coldly:
"I need a seal to find someone, the Witch Sect has the whereabouts of this item."
He still didn't dare to say anything more specific, and in order to prevent the plan from failing, the fewer people who knew about the seals 0-08, the better.
In fact, until now he did not dare to call Mr. Azik back to Bakeland, there is only one chance, and early exposure will only lead to the failure of the operation.
Triss opened her mouth in surprise and sarcastically said, "You're a complete lunatic! Just to find someone, I want to fight against the Witch Sect and snatch the seal from them. ”
"That person is very important to me." Lewis explained, then changed the conversation and asked, "So, what about your answer?" I'm sure you're not here to call me a 'madman'. ”
Triss smiled, and said in a seductive voice:
"I'm interested in your proposal, causing trouble for the Witch Church, such a fun thing, why don't I do it?"
She subconsciously put her hand on her lower abdomen, where life was conceived, and it was obvious that Triss had recognized the fact that she was pregnant.
"Very well, I need the Witch Sect's movements, both in the past and in the future." Lewis was in a good mood and he tapped his cane on the ground, making a slight noise.
Triss recounts what she knows, including but not limited to her encounter with Prince Edsak, who is madly obsessed with her.
Until, after the Great Smog of Beckland, the hapless Prince Edssack chose to commit suicide, and she temporarily escaped the control of the "Witch of Despair", looking for an opportunity for revenge in the shadows.
Gently stroking her lower abdomen, Triss smiled:
"Sir, I don't think you understand how deep a woman's resentment is, I just want to ruin everything in the Witch Sect now!"
No, you used to be a man, you just had a twisted mind after falling in love with a man......
Lewis secretly complained about Triss, and he nodded repeatedly on the surface, affirming:
"Revenge is a lot of fun! In the next move, I will show the ability not to let you down. Even the Witch of Despair can't stop your revenge. ”
"I hope you can do it." Triss stroked the palm of her lower abdomen and asked, "What should I call you?" ”
Lewis saluted slightly and said seriously: "Leonardo! Leonardo. DiCaprio. ”
"Okay, Mr. Leonardo, I'll help you with the plan." Triss lifted the hem of her skirt, and her figure disappeared in front of Lewis, the footsteps fading away.
"Oh, a woman with different hearts!" Lewis chuckled and yawned, tired from two days of intense work.
For all sorts of reasons, Lewis didn't act tonight, but pushed off the investigation of the rich man.
Tonight really needed to regain his spirituality through rest, and at the same time, he vaguely felt that it was not yet time for fate to guide him.
