Mystery: Starting from Meeting Amon

Chapter 212 Paul's Thoughts

After waking up from the dream divination, Lewis left the gray fog. Since Paul appeared near the Eternal Sun Church, the other party must have received some news.

“Paul is not a madman, he will not rush into the church to rob, he will only plan slowly.

By the way, the 'Fallen Harmonica' also comes from the Church of the Eternal Sun. It's a coincidence that this item ended up in my hands."

Under the flickering light of the gas lamp, Lewis rubbed the corners of his eyes. Every time he talked about coincidences, he felt frightened.

"In any case, we still have to meet with Paul first, find out his intentions, and then make a decision."

Turning off the gas lamp, Lewis quietly slipped out in the cover of night. The crimson moon had just risen and the sky had just completely darkened.

According to the memories in the dream, he quickly used divination to come to the vicinity of the Eternal Sun Church, and then used his own characteristics to find Paul.

"found it……"

A sense of familiarity made Lewis focus his eyes on a man dressed as an Intis noble. He was holding a history book in his hand, like a teacher in a university.

Lewis hurriedly followed him as the other person walked into a dark alley.

After passing through several alleys, Lewis suddenly frowned, wondering if he had lost him.

Suddenly, a voice came from behind him and he turned around subconsciously.

"Mr. Favored One, I didn't expect to see you here." Paul greeted Lewis with a smile, and the history book in his hand had disappeared.

Lewis nodded slightly and asked:

"Does the Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun have what you need? Is it the extraordinary characteristics of the 'No Darkness', or a drop of 'Sun' divine blood?"

Paul looked at Lewis in surprise and whispered:

"You really can't hide anything from me. I have learned through reliable sources that the Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun has established a branch church in the north of Intis, and a drop of 'Sun' blood will soon be delivered there.

There is only one Sequence 5 Deacon among the Transcendents transporting the Sealed Object this time, so he is my best chance."

Sure enough... he is not a madman. As long as he doesn't mention "Mr. Red Dragon", he is normal.

Lewis breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "There is only one Sequence Five escorting the Sun's divine blood. Is the information reliable?"

As soon as the question came out of his mouth, Lewis figured it out.

Sequence Five are already a group of top figures in the Orthodox Church. They are qualified to serve as bishops of a large city.

The truly terrifying thing about the Orthodox Church is that they have the support of the True God behind them and they have countless sealed objects in their hands.

Under normal circumstances, if the IQ is high enough, no wild extraordinary person who is looking for death would dare to attack the church.

Of course, under normal circumstances, wild extraordinary beings who don’t even know how to act don’t have that ability.

"The news is reliable." Paul confirmed it, and suddenly changed the subject, saying, "Mr. Lewis, I would like to ask you to provide me with help. Of course, I will give you an item worth half the price of the Sun's divine blood as a reward."

Lewis lowered his head. It was undoubtedly irrational to go against the Orthodox Church.

However, the price Paul offered was very high, and he was quite confident that he could obtain the "Sun" divine blood without revealing his identity.

"Okay!" After a moment, Lewis nodded solemnly and agreed.

Paul was in a good mood. He talked with Lewis about recent developments and then left.

Lewis returned to Slonte Manor, waiting for the date of action, feeling uneasy. "Maybe it's because I'm about to meet Mandy. I always feel that the previous pursuit has paid off."

He comforted himself with these words and started repairing the velvet bed with Miss Stephanie in the room late at night.

……

In the morning, Lewis had breakfast and went to Mr. Rupert's office.

The early morning sun shone into the carriage. Lewis stopped the newspaper boy and bought a portion of Dixie pie and today's Intis Morning Post.

The AC power lines have been laid in the King's District, and the power-on ceremony is expected to be held tonight, with many nobles expected to attend.

“It can be predicted that with the opening of alternating current, I will become a famous rich man in India in ten years.

No, he is a world-famous rich man! "

Lewis folded the newspaper into a square in a good mood and then put it in his pocket.

By the time he arrived at Rupert's Detective Agency, he had already finished his Deasy Pie, with the taste of gravy still lingering in his mouth.

My luck seems to be bad today. Detective Rupert is not here, only the maid brings me freshly brewed coffee.

Lewis had no choice but to drink coffee and read the newspaper while waiting for Rupert leisurely.

About an hour later, Rupert finally came back with a gloomy face. He asked the maid to put tobacco in his pipe and took a long puff.

"How's it going?" Lewis was not impatient and waited until Rupert calmed down a little before asking.

"Well...Mr. Lewis, what is your relationship with the lady you are looking for?" Rupert asked.

"Sister and brother, but I was adopted." Lewis answered without hesitation.

"I have found your sister and can find a way to take you to meet her, but please be a little restrained when you meet. It will be good for both you and me." Rupert seemed very embarrassed and his tone sounded like he was begging.

Lewis had a bad feeling in his heart, but he still tasted the coffee calmly and agreed with a smile:

"You can trust my manners, Mr. Rupert. We businessmen only consider profit first."

“That’s good.” Seeing Lewis’s calm expression, Rupert seemed relieved. He made some preparations and invited Lewis to set off.

It was clearly only a few minutes, but Lewis always felt that the waiting time was particularly long. His brows frowned unconsciously, and his fingertips kept tapping on the coffee table.

After a while, he and Rupert got on a carriage to their destination.

Rupert seemed to still be worried about Lewis. He told Lewis the priorities of the matter:
“The place we are going to this time is an underground auction. Organizations that dare to hold underground auctions in Trier are more or less extraordinary.

In fact, this underground auction may be related to Count Yere, a nobleman with great prestige in the army."

Lewis smiled and nodded.

During the palace coup a few years ago, Intis had already abolished some of the powers of the royal family and the nobility.

In reality, the nobles of Index only had titles but no fiefs, and could only be regarded as ornaments displayed on shelves.

However, the nobles have been operating in Intis for too long after all. Even if their power and fiefdoms have been abolished, they still have considerable influence in the political, business, and military circles.
