Mystery: Starting from Meeting Amon

Chapter 267 Mercury Snake
Lewis paused, and then wrote on Ince Zangwill's body:

"The existence of Lewis Harvey caught Adam's attention. Knowing that Lewis Harvey would return Sealed Artifact 0-08, the Angel King did not want Sealed Artifact 0-08 to fall into the hands of the royal family, as that would create some uncertainties.

Because of this situation, Adam had no choice but to stop the royal angel, which bought Lewis Harvey important time to escape."

As he finished writing this, Azik had returned through the spirit world again, holding an unconscious witch in his left hand.

George III's tomb can only be opened through a teleportation spell, and the presence of a "key" is essential for both entering and exiting.

Paul also appeared through the "door", but only brought back two people, and the remaining one was most likely dead.

"Mr. Azik, please leave. You can channel Ince Zangwill later and you will definitely find the whereabouts of your child's skull." Lewis advised.

Azik laid the witch flat on the ground, his palm covering her forehead, and the black mist tore a passage leading out of the tomb.

Several people quickly entered the passage and left the mausoleum completely.

The crimson moonlight shone through the tender leaves on the branches onto the ground. Mr. Azik took away Ince Zangwill's body and left through the spirit world.

Paul opened the door and walked away, returning to the law firm in Hilton District.

After Lewis disappeared, a figure emerged from a thick tree. She was wearing a red court dress and had golden hair. She looked in the direction where Lewis left, with a slight smile on her lips.

……

The windows on the first floor of 19 Ort Street in Hilton District were broken, and Cherry probably took advantage of this time to escape.

"Mr. Lewis, we have completed the trial assigned by 'Mr. Red Dragon'. We need to leave quickly, otherwise, those royal family members may track us down." Tifana's body was covered with dark red blood, and she spoke in a gentle voice.

Paul took off his half-high silk hat, bowed and said, "I look forward to seeing you next time, Mr. Favored One."

The last servant hid in the dark, looked at Lewis with cold eyes, and nodded slightly.

"Let us meet again at the crossroads of destiny." Lewis took off his hat, bent down and bowed in response to their requests.

Although, he felt that the royal family would not investigate the matter at all, because some forces would most likely not allow the death of Ince Zangwill to be disclosed.

As the three servants disappeared, the detective agency became empty again. Lewis looked towards the second floor and said briskly, “Come out, Miss Cherry.”

Cherry hesitated for a moment, then stomped on the floor, her short hair bathed in the crimson moonlight, her eyes sharp.

"Mr. Lewis, are you Leonardo?"

"Yes." Lewis smiled faintly and advised, "You should leave Backlund. The Witch Cult has suffered a major setback. Triss has learned the truth about Prince Edessak's death. She will plan revenge. Staying here will only drag you into the vortex of fighting."

Cherry didn't answer. Her figure blended into the darkness and she quickly left.

Lewis shook his head, putting on his half-high silk hat, the quill in his hand struggling as if to break free from his restraints.

"I'd better let you be honest first."

Lewis sent the feather pen to Sefirah Castle, and the characteristics of Sefirah Castle were enough to suppress the seal. The spirituality in his body suddenly surged out, and Lewis adjusted his half-high silk hat.

Ince Zangwill's early death allowed him to change the fate of a demigod. With this change, he had almost digested half of the potion. From then on, he only needed to act according to the summarized acting rules, and he would always be able to digest the potion completely.

It was already late at night when Lewis returned to the mansion where he lived. The witch Shirley was lying on the velvet bed in her underwear in the image of Lewis.

"Miss Shirley." Lewis called out to the other party. In the darkness, his voice was low and mellow.

Shirley suddenly opened her eyes, got out of bed, lifted up her skirt, and said, "Welcome back, Mr. Lewis."

Lewis sat aside. He lit the gas lamp, sat in a chair, and asked:

"Are you interested in staying in Backlund and being active in the upper class here with my identity?"

After getting the Sealed Artifact 0-08, he would leave Backlund, but the identity of this businessman could not only help him make money, but also provide him with a lot of information and channels. It would be a pity to give it up so easily.

Shirley was stunned for a moment, until she saw Lewis's serious eyes, she just lifted her skirt and said:
"Your wish is my wish."

“Very good. I hope you can play this role well. Even if I am not in Backlund, I can know all your actions.” Lewis took out the extraordinary characteristics of the "Faceless Man" from his arms and handed it to Shirley.

From now on, Shirley will replace him and be active in Backlund as Lewis Harvey.

Shirley left the room, and Lewis blew the whistle. A sound like a whale's cry resounded within the spiritual wall, but the chilly feeling did not appear.

“Ms. Elana seems to be seriously injured and will not be able to be summoned in the short term. I should find a way to help Miss Elana recover quickly.

During this journey that is about to begin, please help Miss Elana find the extraordinary properties or magic potion of the 'devil'."

After resting for a while and waiting for his spirit to recover, Lewis silently chanted the name of the Lord of Mysteries and entered the gray fog.

Under the tall light door hung with silk cocoons, a long table made of golden nanmu was placed in front of Lewis. He waved his hand, and a feather pen appeared in his hand.

Above the gray fog, the feather pen seemed very calm. The gray fog had a suppressive effect on sealed objects. Even the sealed object 0-08 was as obedient as a little lamb.

“When not in use, it is better to leave Sealed Artifact 0-08 here. For a Sequence Five, this Sealed Artifact is quite dangerous.”

Throwing Sealed Object 0-08 into the pile of debris, Lewis materialized a silver fountain pen with intricate patterns and a yellow-brown parchment, and wrote the divination statement on the parchment:
"Lewis Harvey's chance to be promoted..."

Holding the parchment in his hand, Lewis leaned against the golden nanmu bench and fell into a dream.

Passing through the pure white in front of him, Lewis saw the clock tower located in the east district of Backlund.

A mercury-colored, scaleless snake, connected head to tail, was coiled there. On the surface of the silvery-white giant snake, dense patterns and symbols formed one interconnected wheel after another, and each wheel had different symbols around it.

Lewis woke up from his sleep and sighed leisurely.

"As expected, I still have to deal with Will Ausetin. Next time, Tarot will ask Klein to see if he can get the potion formula of the 'Mage of Doom' or related extraordinary properties."
