Mystery: Starting from Meeting Amon

Chapter 58 Their respective needs

Lewis used his not-so-good memory to recall the special features of the Destiny Path. Sequence six of the Destiny Path was the Disaster Priests, who would passively encounter various disasters, but these disasters could be foreseen and avoided.

With a nervous mood, Lewis walked into the casino, and the gentleman, who was soaked all over, trotted after Lewis.

"Believe me, roulette is one of the greatest inventions in the history of casinos. If you want to make money in a casino, you might as well have a thrilling choice..." the gentleman muttered behind Lewis.

Lewis glanced at the roulette wheel. Since the formula holder was looking for someone lucky enough, gambling must be one of the ways to prove himself.

Opening the pocket watch on his chest, Lewis strictly calculated the time. There were still 3 minutes and 10 seconds before the last lucky charm expired, so he hurriedly bought 20 pounds of chips.

"I bet 10 pounds on number 8." Coming to the roulette area, Lewis took out a 10-pound chip and placed it on the corresponding area.

Roulette gambling generally has 36 numbers, among which customers can freely choose certain numbers to bet on, or they can choose to bet on odd or even numbers.

The betting numbers chosen by Lewis are the most difficult to win, but the odds are also the highest, reaching a ratio of 1 to 35.

"My friend, perhaps you don't understand the rules of roulette. It is very unwise to spend a lot of money to buy a single number right from the start. You should choose to bet on even numbers or odd numbers." The gentleman with wet clothes following behind Lewis reminded him.

"Well...especially with me around." The gentleman added silently in his heart that it had been a long time since he saw someone so lucky as to win a gambling game in front of him.

Lewis ignored the gentleman and asked the dealer, who was dressed in a sexy bunny girl costume, "How long until the opening?"

"Half a minute." The dealer secretly glanced at the gentleman following Lewis with a meaningful look.

When the time came, the roulette wheel with numbers began to spin, and the small ball that determined the final result rolled out from the center of the plate under the gaze of many gamblers, and finally slowly landed on the position with the number "8".

The whole place was silent, and the bunny girl dealer looked at Lewis and the unlucky guy behind him in disbelief.

"Oh my God, you got it!" The gentleman, who was soaked all over, looked at Lewis and shouted in disbelief.

"What do you mean by this question?" Lewis looked at the gentleman in confusion, and took away his 350 pounds of chips in full view of everyone.

It is indeed easy to make money from gambling, but Lewis never thought of living by winning money from the casino by luck, because he knew that all the gifts of fate have been secretly marked with a price.

"Please let me be your assistant. I don't need any compensation, and I can help you accomplish many things." After Lewis collected all the chips, the gentleman in wet clothes suddenly said.

"Assistant? I'm afraid you'll kill me..." Lewis complained in his heart. He looked the other person up and down. Now he has almost confirmed the other person's identity. This unlucky guy must be the holder of the formula he is looking for.

Lewis had roughly guessed the conditions for the promotion of the Disaster Priest. If he guessed correctly, this path of promotion required the help of external forces, that is, finding a lucky enough person to use the other person's luck to help him avoid the disaster. "I think we can find a place with few people to discuss in detail." Lewis exchanged all the chips for gold pounds, and then left with the gentleman. He really needed the formula of the Sequence 7 potion.

Having avoided several unexpected incidents along the way, Lewis was able to return to the detective agency safely. The unlucky gentleman followed Lewis with an expression that was more excited than "winning money in the casino".

"Please sit down." Back in the detective agency, Lewis and the unfortunate gentleman sat down face to face.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Blau Rupert," the gentleman put his wet hat on the coat rack and bowed.

Lewis didn't waste any time, he asked directly: "Do you know a 'pharmacist'?"

"I think I should know a lot of 'pharmacists'. In fact, I can help you buy most of the potions you want, including those that make men stronger." Blau Rupert sat down and explained attentively.

Lewis has preliminarily confirmed that the unlucky Blau is the person he is looking for. The School of Life holds the potion formula of the "pharmacist", so it is normal for the other party to know many pharmacists.

"You can follow me, but I need a deadline and corresponding compensation. I believe you can see that you and I are similar." Lewis stated his chips slowly. He observed the other party's expression, hoping to guess the other party's bottom line.

"I don't see how you and I are similar. Your fate seems a little confusing." Blau Rupert said truthfully. When he saw Lewis for the first time, he knew that the other party was an extraordinary person, but he could not get a glimpse of the details.

It was not until Lewis still won money despite his bad luck that he was sure that the other party might be his chance to take the potion.

"Someone said the same thing to you." Lewis thought of Mr. Azik. He made two cups of black tea and added, "The reward I want is the potion formula of Sequence 7 'Lucky Man'. I believe this is a reasonable deal."

"'Lucky Man' formula?" Blau looked at Lewis and said in surprise, "This is impossible! The potion formula can only be given to my apprentice or members of our school. Obviously, you don't meet the requirements of either."

"Then treat me as your apprentice, otherwise forget about being my assistant." Lewis said with a serious face. He believed that it would be difficult for Blau to find another suitable lucky person, otherwise, the "pharmacist" would probably not sell him this news.

"Wait... why do you need me to provide potion formulas even if I can be your assistant?" Blau reacted and felt like he was asking to be slaughtered.

Of course, the current situation is that he needs help from the other party. He needs to rely on the other party's luck and find the right opportunity to take the potion to advance.

"Then you can also choose to be someone else's assistant. I can find the potion formula myself. At most, I will join the School of Life." Lewis spread his hands and said indifferently.

If he wasn't afraid that the mercury snake would notice something unusual about him, he would have considered changing his name and joining the School of Life. Of course, he would leave after getting the potion, or, like the pharmacist, force the teacher to kick him out.

Blau took a sip of the black tea, rubbed his forehead, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly said, "I need a place to rest and a few days to think."
