Chapter 256: Death is peaceful
Killing a demigod and paying for the otherworldly properties of the 'devil' is a good deal indeed, and Miss Elana is not asking too much.
Lewis did not have the transcendent characteristics of the "devil" at all, and could only reply:
"I don't have the supernatural trait of the 'devil' in my hands for the time being, but I can promise that I will look for it for you. Even if I can't find it, I'll pay the same price. ”
"Yes." Elana's figure becomes illusory until it eventually disappears.
Lewis changed into neat clothes and rode in a carriage to Earl Hall's house, where he enjoyed dinner.
There was no special dress or ceremony for today's dinner, only Mrs. Hall and Miss Hall on the side, and the food was carefully cooked, and the cooked dishes were served to the table by the servants in order.
Audrey knew that the person in front of her was Mr. "Fate", and as a member of the Tarot Society, she tried her best to pretend that she didn't know each other, but she couldn't help but be curious:
"I don't know what Mr. 'Destiny' is for, maybe I should ask at the next tarot meeting.
Well, it's better not to ask, if Mr. 'Fate' wanted to say, or really needed our help, it should have been brought up long ago. ”
Miss Hall ate her dinner elegantly, and she could only guess that Mr. "Fate's" purpose was extraordinary, and that the things planned by a true god must have a wide range of implications.
Earl Hall and Lewis chatted for a few moments, and suddenly said:
"Mr. Lewis, the approval of the power station has been handed down, and with the acquiescence of the king, it is believed that alternating current will soon fill the streets of Beckland."
Lewis touched his glass with Earl Hall from a long distance, and said with a smile: "Let's toast to the great victory." ”
He drank the red wine in his glass in one gulp, and the matter of "acquiescence of the state" made Lewis feel very troublesome, and he couldn't understand why George III would do something superfluous.
It stands to reason that the promotion of alternating current did not benefit George III.
Unless, the king, who wants to see Beckland become more chaotic, the advent of alternating current means a confrontation between the new and old tycoons, and also a commercial war.
Lewis didn't hear anything more from Earl Hall, they just discussed where the power station was built and how the benefits would be distributed.
……
In the evening, Lewis brings the Red Priesthood card and a magical item to the West End, the merchant Gavin's house.
After a few days of rest, the wounds on his soul have completely healed, and it's time to dig into more secrets.
"Miss Elana, thank you for your help." Lewis looked at Miss Courier beside her, urging her to act.
He sensed the danger, and several transcendents had already set their eyes on him, and after the last failed attack, the demigod had taken precautions.
This time, if he wanted to sneak in and find Gavin slowly, it was simply unrealistic.
Perhaps, Gavin was already secretly watching him from a certain location, and he didn't even know when he would shout "forbidden here".
"You stay away from me, my abilities will cause you harm." The usual squirming Miss Courier had become much more imposing, and she exuded a terrifying cold aura.
Lewis subconsciously wanted to follow Miss Courier's words, and he felt crazy, dirty thoughts jump out of his head, and hurriedly retreated more than ten meters in order to distance himself from Miss Courier.
Miss Elena's figure became illusory, and Lewis followed the inspiration and heard a cry of fear.
A transcendent fell from a second-floor window, his body shimmering in the moonlight and making a splashing sound when he landed.
Upon closer inspection, the transcendent's body had melted into a puddle of liquid, which swam towards him with its foul mouth open.
Lewis's ears exploded with an illusory and terrifying whisper, which caused him to grow snake-like silver scales due to his sensitivity to sound.
"Hah......" Lewis gasped for air, and he felt a hand grip on his heart, as if this hand was going to burst his heart if it was any harder.
Miss Elana is the third sequence of the Abyssal Path, "The Whisperers", whose abilities come mainly from sound and language, and every word they spit out can cause the transcendent to suffer a heavy blow or directly lose control.
And Lewis, as a member of the "fate" pathway, happens to be targeted by the ability of the "whisperer", so Miss Elena's ability can easily hurt him by mistake.
Originally, Lewis also wanted to take advantage of the chaos to sneak into the house to find some useful information, but because Miss Elena's abilities are too special, it is difficult for him to exert his strength in such an environment.
The next moment, Lewis decisively ended the summoning, and his figure came directly above the gray mist, under the huge light gate.
"It's no wonder that Miss Elana always speaks in a very soft voice, even giving a sense of shyness, which is supposed to be suppressing her own strength.
Her approach is very special, and every sentence and word she utters causes harm to the transcendent.
If it weren't for Miss Elena's efforts to suppress her abilities, I would probably not have been able to communicate with her properly. ”
Lewis had a coin in his hand, and since he couldn't participate in the kill in reality, he had to try divination.
"Miss Elana will kill Gavin......"
After reciting it seven times, Lewis flicked up the coin, and George III was smiling at him.
"Excellent!
Since I can't investigate Gavin's residence, I'll have to know everything through the psychic ritual, hoping that Miss Elana hasn't completely driven Gavin crazy, and I don't know if the madman's soul can still ask for the news I want to know. ”
Leaving the tarot cards above the gray mist, Lewis wrapped the spirit with his spirit and sank under the gray mist.
A passage to the spirit world suddenly opened in the room, and Gavin's body was thrown out of the spirit world, lying at Lewis's feet like a dead dog.
At this time, Gavin was still wearing only underwear, his eyes bulging out like dead fish, and the dark blood was still flowing out.
"It's hard to imagine that he died so peacefully." Lewis couldn't help but complain.
Miss Elena's writhing voice came:
He ...... He wanted to kill me and had a malicious ...... towards me."
Lewis nodded, the "Whisperer" has the ability to perceive malice, once it senses malice, it can directly retaliate against the other party through its own ability, causing the other party to die violently.
Obviously, Gavin didn't know about Elena's abilities, so he suffered a big loss.
Sending the messenger, Lewis sent Gavin's body to the Grey Mist, where everything that was divined on the Source Fort would not be known to the outside world.
