Mystery: Starting from Meeting Amon

Chapter 237 Making friends out of nowhere
When they returned to the hotel where they were staying temporarily, Lewis arranged for Arthur Wade's butler to stay in a separate room, and then took a hot bath.

After it was completely dark, Lewis drew the curtains, immersed himself in the darkness, and prayed to the "Fool".

“A fool who is not of this age;
The mysterious master hidden above the gray fog;

The Yellow and Black King who controls good luck..."

Silently chanting the name of the Good Fool, Lewis repeated his request:

"I am Mr. Destiny's favored one. I am currently living in Backlund as Lewis Harvey. I have something I would like to ask Miss Justice for help.

My current identity is a businessman traveling between Intis and Loen, and the father of alternating current.

I wanted to join Backlund's aristocratic circle, so I held a party to show my value, hoping to use Miss Justice's influence to make the party more lively.

The reward this time is a yellow crystal pendant, which has the ability of divination, roughly equivalent to Sequence 7, suitable for female use. "

After repeating his requests several times, Lewis stopped praying. He stood in the dark, waiting for Miss Justice's reply.

……

In Enmat Harbor, Klein, transformed into Gehrman Sparrow, was still searching for news about mermaids. After some investigation, he decided to go out to sea and try his luck in areas that humans had not yet reached.

Suddenly, his own spirituality was touched.

"Someone is praying to me. As the 'boss' of a secret organization, I will wait a while before responding. After all, the 'boss' of a secret organization cannot be too fervent in responding to the prayers of his believers."

Klein ate his dinner leisurely, then went into the bathroom and walked four steps backwards into the gray fog.

In the distance, a crimson star was constantly shrinking and expanding. He pulled the star closer and clicked on the picture inside it...

"Lewis Harvey, the father of alternating current, the favored one of Mr. Fate? Is he in Backlund right now?"

Klein tapped the bronze table and suddenly thought of Mr. Azik's student.

"It's him! He is actually the follower of Mr. Fate, and he even discovered alternating current?
Besides that, he obviously knew Miss Justice's real identity. Of course, anyone could tell that Miss Justice was a noble lady who lived in Backlund.

After a brief shock, Klein had to suspect that Lewis was also a time traveler. Since there were already him and Emperor Roselle as time travelers in this world, it wouldn't be surprising to have one more person.

Then, Klein pulled out the star corresponding to Miss Justice and conveyed the image.

……

In the study, Audrey Hall was playing the piano gracefully when a gray mist suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.

The piano playing did not stop, the elegant Miss Audrey just pressed a few wrong notes for a long time.

After a while, the piano music stopped, and the gray mist in front of her eyes began to dissipate. Audrey stood up with her cheeks flushed and her mouth slightly open.

"Mr. Destiny's follower has appeared, and he is actually the discoverer of alternating current.

Fortunately, I had learned about alternating current through newspapers before, so I knew how amazing it was and how great Mr. Lewis was who discovered it. "

Audrey did not doubt the news told by Mr. Fool. Moreover, in her impression, Mr. Fate’s followers should have extraordinary abilities.

Suddenly, she recalled the killing of Vice Admiral Hurricane Qi Lingos a few months ago, and couldn't help but feel even more in awe of Mr. Fate's followers.

Audrey called in her personal maid, Anne, and ordered:

"Collect some newspapers from Index for me. I heard that the nobles of Index are using a lighting tool called 'incandescent lamp', which is several times more effective than gas lamps. I really want to see it." In order to have enough buffer space, she decided to start cramming her knowledge about alternating current so that she could find enough excuses to attend the banquet.

Of course, you can also call your father and mother to join you at that time. A trustworthy lady will always do her best to do what she promised.

"Okay." The personal maid Anne agreed and turned to leave the room.

Audrey went to the rest room, silently recited the name of "The Fool", and said:
“Mr. Fool, please tell Mr. Destiny’s followers that I am willing to accept this commission.”

……

Lewis stood in the dark corner, gradually becoming anxious.

Today, Mr. Fool seems to be particularly slow and has not replied yet.

He couldn't expose himself to the light because it would reveal his identity.

As a follower of Mr. Destiny, he must always maintain his own style. Otherwise, after praying many times, Klein will sooner or later discover that there is actually only one follower of Mr. Destiny.

After waiting for about an hour, Lewis finally saw the endless fog and the blurry picture at the end of the fog:
“Mr. Fool, please tell Mr. Destiny’s followers that I am willing to accept this commission.”

Lewis snapped his fingers, and the sacrifice ceremony prepared in advance immediately began to work. He sacrificed the yellow crystal pendant in his hand to the gray fog, and the deal was done.

"call……"

As the sacrificial ceremony ended, Lewis walked out of the shadows. This was the longest ceremony he had ever experienced.

……

The next morning, Lewis got up and went to the golf course. There would be a Tarot Club meeting at three o'clock this afternoon, so he had to come back early.

After changing into sportswear, Lewis came to the stadium carrying his golf clubs. Perhaps because it was too early, there were very few people on the field.

There are no noble ladies in sportswear here, only a few gentlemen who don't look very energetic.

However, he met Polly Ian, the heir of the Viscount's family.

After the invitation, he and Polly Ian played the first game of the morning.

Today, Lewis still plays the role of a businessman with decent basketball skills, and the feeling of not being able to use his abilities makes him a little irritated.

Polly Ian was a little absent-minded. After one round, he took a deep breath and asked:
"Mr. Lewis, since you travel between Loen and Intis all year round, you must know a lot of women, right?"

"There are some business dealings, and you seem to have something to say." Lewis hit the golf ball out. In the conservative Loen, he must not reveal the fact that he is a ladybug, otherwise he will be despised by the nobles and businessmen.

Of course, it doesn't matter in Index, because the nobles and merchants are not much better.

Polly Ian lowered his head, thought for a while with embarrassment, and said:
"Well, I have a friend who is a nobleman, but he fell in love with a poor girl.

You know, this kind of love is not allowed and is despised by people!"

Lewis raised the corners of his mouth silently, and looked at Polly Ian with a strange look. He also knew the trick of "making friends out of nothing", and he had used it many times to fool the members of the Tarot Club.

Of course, he is an advanced version of "Making friends out of nothing", called "I have a follower".
