Mystery: Starting from Meeting Amon

Chapter 169 Leaving
Watching the fox messenger burrow into the ground, Lewis sighed and said regretfully:
"It must be because it has low self-esteem. I actually think it's pretty good."

In the next few seconds, no more spiritual creatures appeared. Lewis frowned and wanted to end the summoning.

At this moment, something strange happened. The fire that had expanded to the size of a human head suddenly shrank, changing from blood-red to pure black. The black color even swallowed up the surrounding light.

"Wait, did I summon something dangerous? Judging from the current situation, it is very likely!"

Lewis was scared. At this time, he should end the summoning in time to prevent any terrible spiritual creatures from appearing.

"Um, um, can you sign a contract with me? I want to be your messenger."

The woman's voice appeared, and Lewis frowned. With the light from the outside world, he was able to see clearly the spiritual creature who took the initiative to ask for a fortune.

It has a female appearance, with hair of an evil dark red color, small bat-like wings pressed against its back, and a slender black tail hanging down to the ground, gently tapping the ground, and it actually looks a little shy.

No matter how you look at it, this spiritual creature has some characteristics of a demon.

Moreover, they can communicate using language, which shows that the spiritual beings are at a very high level.

"What is your request?" Lewis asked frankly. He was indeed a little afraid of this spiritual creature, but after all, he summoned it. As long as the summoning ceremony was over, the creature would be sent back to the spiritual world immediately.

"I..." The spirit creature lowered its head, its tail slapping the ground nervously, "I want the desire to fall."

"Desire? This thing can be taken away?" Lewis frowned. The hobbies of creatures in the spiritual world are indeed different. For example, Miss Renette likes gold coins.

"Okay, let's sign the contract."

Lewis picked up the silver pen and brown parchment that he had prepared long ago, and quickly wrote the contract in the ancient Hermes language that could leverage the power of nature.

The format and terms were provided by Mr. Azik, which included the fact that the messenger could not peek at the letters, discard the letters, or endanger the life of the contractor. Of course, if the content of the contractor's letter involves the messenger, it needs to be explained to the other party in advance.

In addition to these contents, Lewis also mentioned that the desire for depravity can be paid by anyone, not necessarily the sender or the recipient.

In order to ensure the validity of the contract, the name of the god of the corresponding domain was signed at the end, which was the underworld:

"The destination of all death, the hell hidden deep in the spiritual world, the witness of the mortality of all things, belongs exclusively to the kingdom of Death."

As the description of the underworld came to an end, the ancient Hermetic characters on the yellow-brown parchment ignited with pale green flames one after another, illuminating the surroundings with an eerie glow.

After finishing the main text, Lewis took out the Azik copper whistle, pressed it on the parchment, and signed it with his name:
"Lewis Harvey."

After Lewis finished signing, the parchment appeared in front of the demon woman. The woman held the silver pen with her slender wrist and wrote her name:
"Elana Beth."

The pale green flames quickly merged into one, enveloping the Azik copper whistle and the yellow-brown parchment until the parchment was burned to ashes.

Lewis took the Azik copper whistle, and Elana lowered her head shyly. She turned her back and disappeared, her figure became illusory, and even the black candlelight returned to normal.

"I should ask Miss Elana how strong she is in combat when I have time. It would be perfect if she could block a knife!"

"No, the one who blocked the knife should be Mr. Azik's messenger. It would be perfect if he could fight."

Lewis silently corrected his previous thoughts in his mind. He only had one messenger, and he might die after blocking once. It would be better to call Mr. Azik's messenger.

After packing up the ritual items and removing the sealed spiritual wall, Lewis placed the faceless man's extraordinary characteristics and harmonica on the gray fog to prevent divination by those with ulterior motives. Probably because the tsunami had just passed, nearly half of the building area in Enmat Port was submerged by sea water. Lewis walked on the street, and the light of the gas lamp shone sparsely on him.

Today, even the work of gaslighting is affected.

He knocked on the door of the detective agency on Denia Street with ease, asked the detective for a cup of freshly brewed coffee, and told him some stories.

This includes that he met Captain "Evil Dragon", became enemies with Captain "Evil Dragon", and that Captain "Evil Dragon" was the leader of the Enmat Brotherhood.

Two years ago, Captain "Dragon" played an important role in the Normand tragedy.

Of course, he didn't mention anything about the incident related to the Level 1 Sealed Artifact.

As a gentleman of high moral character, he would of course take the item for himself, as he had risked his life to get it.

In the end, Lewis got a reward of 1000 pounds based on this information. He explained the situation to the detective and refunded his ticket for the next night.

Now, Captain "Evil Dragon" is dead, and most of the extraordinary people of the Enmat Brotherhood are also dead. There is no one who can stop him from escaping from Enmat Port.

With a huge sum of 1200 pounds in his pocket, Lewis left the detective agency and also left Denia Street.

……

In the ship restaurant on the way from Enmat Port to Index, Paul asked the waiter for a newspaper and began to read it.

On this steamship, one can see not only various newspapers issued by the Kingdom of Loen, but also those issued by Index.

"Mr. Favored One asked me to be promoted to 'The Dark One', a demigod of the Sun Path. The most widely-held belief in Intis is the 'Eternal Blazing Sun'. I might find an opportunity there."

Outside the window was the endless sea. Paul ate mashed potatoes patiently, thinking about his subsequent promotion.

For some extraordinary materials, it is best to obtain them through trading. If not, stealing is also a reasonable way.

……

The next morning, Lewis woke up in the small hotel where he was staying. His clothes had been soaked in sea water. After they dried, white salt stains condensed on the clothes, and his top hat was washed into the sea water.

He did not deal with the clothes immediately. Instead, he sat by the window and wrote a letter to Miss Sera, on the one hand to express his longing for her, and on the other hand to leave a way for him to contact her.

"Beautiful Miss Serra:

I'm sorry for not replying to my previous letter in time. The situation in Port Enmat is more serious than I thought, and I am in danger.

However, things have worked out luckily for me, I have completed my promotion and plan to prepare for the next one.

In addition, I summoned a messenger, which can make our communication more convenient. If you want to summon it, just recite the following spell:
'A spirit wandering in the void, a friendly creature that can be driven, a messenger unique to Lewis Harvey.'

Besides, the postcard you sent is very beautiful. I think I have fallen in love with Intis because of you. It is a wonderful feeling. "
