Mystery: Starting from Meeting Amon

Chapter 148: The Tail of the Disaster Sea Serpent

Lewis woke up early in his hotel room on Sunday morning, made a sealed spiritual wall, and placed a red candle and a black candle in front of him.

Lighting the candles with his spirit, Lewis recited the prayer:
“I pray for the strength of the night;
I pray for the power of crimson;

I pray for the favor of the goddess;

Pray for the power to conceal my own information;

Night herb, herb of the night, please pass my wish to the spell..."

As the prayer was finished, the black and red candles suddenly burst into bright flames. Lewis felt a tremendous force descending upon this place, and his body seemed to be covered with a layer of black gauze.

Feeling the favor of the goddess, Lewis' heart was extremely pious at this moment.

He tapped four times on his chest to draw a crimson moon, and said devoutly:
"Storm, no, praise the goddess."

In an instant, the red and black candles lit up again, and then went out immediately, just like the mood of the goddess of night.

Lewis hurriedly packed up the ritual items and lifted the sealed spiritual wall.

Attending the auction today is a rather risky move. If the extraordinary person who attacked him last time is really a "magician", then the other party will recognize him at a glance the moment he appears at the auction.

"Magician" is also an extraordinary profession that relies heavily on inspiration. They recognize a person not simply by vision, but also by spiritual cues.

Therefore, even if he has the trait of anti-divination, he will not dare to go there until he gets the blessing of the goddess.

After going down the stairs, Lewis put on a half-high silk top hat and walked leisurely to the real "Deep Sea Auction House".

The entrance was in the residential area behind Denia Street. Since he accidentally left here last time, he was able to find the entrance accurately.

Walking to the door, Lewis knocked on it four times.

After more than ten seconds, a sturdy man in black uniform opened the door from the inside. He looked at Lewis and said strangely:

"It seems like I'm seeing you for the first time."

"Charlotte Wimbledon, I'm a new member and I've been invited to attend today's auction." Lewis smiled faintly and said politely.

The real "Deep Sea Auction" adopts a membership system. If you want to participate in the auction, you must be recommended by at least two members. Paul helped him with this, so he only needed to say his name.

Of course, the name is fake.

"It's Mr. Charlotte. The auction will start on time at 8:30. Before that, you can go to the members' area to enjoy today's breakfast." The burly man welcomed Lewis in.

He didn't realize that after Lewis left, he had completely forgotten the other person's appearance and name, and he didn't even remember that such a person had just communicated with him.

Lewis's existence seemed to be hidden from his memory.

After half past eight, the sturdy man picked up a stick leaning against the wall and started practicing swinging it.

He always believed that if he persisted in doing the same thing for ten years, he would become a top master.

After enjoying a luxurious breakfast and paying some deposit, Lewis sat in the auction hall and waited for the auction to begin.

If he could successfully obtain the gallbladder of the sea serpent, the only main materials he lacked would be the tail of the sea serpent and the fresh saliva of the mermaid. The auxiliary materials were relatively easy to find, only the blood of the silver snake needed to be purchased, after all, this was also an extraordinary material.

"I hope I'll have good luck today and find the main materials I need." Lewis looked around. The number of people participating in this auction was close to 50, which was quite a lot.

The magician who was overseeing the auction didn't seem to be there, at least he didn't see him.

Suddenly, Lewis shifted his gaze to a fat man in the third row on the right. He felt familiar with this man.

It is obvious that the "magician" did not miss the event, but participated in the auction and monitored it as a customer.

Moreover, this extraordinary being is not a "magician", but a "Faceless Man" of Sequence Six. Only the Faceless Man can change his body shape and appearance at will.

Lewis' heart trembled suddenly:
"A Sequence Six was only there to watch over the auction. The power of the Enmat Port gang is stronger than I thought.

No wonder there are no gang fights in the local area. With such a huge gang, there is no way a second gang can develop.”

Soon, today's auction began. A female auctioneer stood on the stage and began to explain vigorously.
"The first item to be auctioned today is the blood of the Silver Snake, 20 ml, with a starting price of 180 pounds!"

Lewis unsurprisingly raised his hand to bid, which was one of the supporting materials for “The Disaster Priest”.

Since there were not many extraordinary people who could use this extraordinary material, no one participated in the bidding. Lewis successfully bought the item at the reserve price.

The auction continued. Compared with supernatural materials, finished magical items were more likely to be sold at high prices. An ordinary supernatural item could easily be sold for more than one thousand pounds.

The only item that Lewis is interested in is the "Thief's Wallet". As long as a silver coin is put into it, this item can steal a random supernatural power, with the possibility of failure.

The side effects are relatively minor. Wearing it will make you forgetful and occasionally forget some important things.

However, the item was eventually bought by a tall and thin man for 1900 pounds.

It was not until half an hour into the auction that Lewis saw the waiter bring a black plate.

The auctioneer placed the plate on the floor and lifted the black curtain, revealing a thick snake tail.

The snake's tail is dark blue with black patterns on it. When exposed to the light, the tail seems to come alive and sways vigorously.

Suddenly, the crystal chandelier above the auctioneer's head fell down, and the stage became a little darker.

Then, the wooden floor of the stage collapsed, as if the solid floor had suddenly rotted.

The female auctioneer nimbly dodged the falling chandelier and avoided the hole on the stage. She quickly covered the snake's tail with a black cloth, and all the abnormalities disappeared immediately.

Showing her charming smile again, the auctioneer explained:
"The tail of the sea serpent of disaster. It is said that such an item can be the main material of certain potions, and can also be made into an extraordinary magical item by a 'craftsman'. The starting price is 2100 pounds, and each bid is 100 pounds."

Lewis immediately raised the sign. The purpose of his coming here today was for this extraordinary material. As long as the premium was not too high, he could accept it.

However, at the moment when Lewis raised the sign, the tall and thin man in front of him on the right also raised a sign.

Lewis remembered him as the man who bought the "thief's wallet".
