Chapter 535: Forgetting

~10 min read 1,850 words

"His name is Louis Berry."

Seeing this last sentence, Philip's gaze froze instantly:

Him?

He killed the "Devil Warlock"?

Suddenly, Philip associated this with the miserable state of Room 5 in the first-class cabin, which looked like it had been hit by artillery fire.

Was that caused by the battle between Louis Berry and the "Devil Warlock" Burman?

Although it was only a day later that there were rumors that the "Fool" Church had handed over Burman's head in exchange for the bounty, everything had a process, and it was normal for it to be delayed by half a day or a day in the middle!

"Did Louis Berry really kill the 'Devil Warlock'?

"Is he strong to this extent? I actually didn't see it at all...

"I know he is a source of trouble, and various details prove that he has good strength and an unpredictable personality, but I never thought he could hunt the 'Devil Warlock,' and he didn't seem to have suffered any obvious injuries at the time.

"He even controlled the impact of the battle to that one bedroom, without letting anyone hear any movement...

"It wouldn't be him who scared away 'Bone-Breaker' Rolo, would it? No, he was right next to me at the time and didn't do anything... Unless, 'Bone-Breaker' knew him and knew how dangerous he was?

"Someone who can kill the 'Devil Warlock' is indeed qualified to deter 'Bone-Breaker'... although Rolo might not be weaker than Burman, it's just that the bounty is relatively low, but Louis Berry is someone who can silently solve Burman...

"What was the reason for encountering the 'Death Navigator'?"

Philip muttered silently.

Although he didn't fully believe that the young man who always smiled and bragged in the bar was an adventurer strong enough to hunt the "Devil Warlock," he didn't dare to have too many doubts.

"Boss, sh-should we report the fact that Louis Berry's identity is fake?" The crew member who delivered the telegram asked in a low voice.

Philip subconsciously raised the paper carrying the telegram and pulled the subordinate's head:

"Are you afraid you'll die too late?

"I have repeatedly told you that when on the ship, when encountering abnormalities, as long as the matter is not urgent, just pretend not to see it and wait until arriving at the destination."

Philip thought for a moment, fearing that his subordinate would make a mistake because he didn't understand or accept it, and explained a few more sentences specifically:

"We are still at sea. After the report about the fake identity is sent up, even if Louis Berry's original identity and the problems that exist are determined, no one can come to rescue us or help us, unless it's from Sear Port, but this kind of cross-border cooperation requires several days of preliminary communication, and Louis Berry would have disembarked long ago.

"Moreover, just determining his original identity will take some time.

"For a report that cannot succeed, is it worth it to bear the risk of being discovered by Louis Berry and angering him?

"I want to maintain the peace of these few days."

The crew member thought carefully and finally agreed with the boss's statement.

Philip breathed a sigh of relief, tore up the telegram, and threw it into the trash can.

"Tell those who receive and decode telegrams that no one can spread this matter!" Philip warned again, left the room, and walked down the stairs to the deck.

He was just about to find his new lover to discuss what romantic things to do at night, when he saw the protagonist of the telegram just now, Louis Berry, standing by the ship's side, looking at the gently undulating azure sea, turning that golden straw hat idly, while his other hand held a glass of pale golden champagne.

Seeming to sense his gaze, Lumian turned his body and looked over.

He immediately smiled, raised the champagne glass in his right hand, made a gesture of toasting, and then took a light sip.

Philip's body suddenly tensed, trying his best not to let his expression change.

Is Louis Berry just saying hello, or does he know about the telegram and the decision I made?

…………

Wow! Wow! Wow!

White-headed sea birds flew under the clear blue sky, making calls different from those of the same kind in Gadi Port and Falingang.

They flew low from time to time, passing through the wooden fishing boats hanging with white sails.

Fishing is one of the main industries in Sear Port, and the fear and respect for the sea are engraved in the blood of every fisherman here.

To them, there can be children who don't believe in the "Mother Earth," but there cannot be descendants who blaspheme the prayer-to-the-sea ceremony.

Looking at this scenery different from Intis ports, looking at the gradually rising mountains in the distance of Sear Port, Lumian silently praised the "Fool."

The journey from Falingang to Sear Port was so peaceful, without wind and waves, without pirates, and without Beyonder events.

This allowed him to enjoy several days of peaceful life, read two introductory textbooks on Highland language, and roughly flipped through the Spirit Realm creature data.

He didn't find an introduction to the "Arden" evil spirit summoned by Burman from the depths of death. I don't know if the "Magician" didn't provide it, or if she didn't know either.

"In another half an hour, we can enter the port." Lumian, standing at the window of Room 5 in the first-class cabin, moved his neck, letting his body, which had been in a state of rest for several days, gradually become excited.

Here are the clues to the "April Fool's" core members, the "Bard" and "Saitama"!

Of course, it could also be a trap.

Lumian's body trembled slightly, already a bit impatient.

Finally, the "Flying Bird" docked in Sear Port.

When Lumian was holding Ludwig and bringing Lugano, who was carrying the suitcase, toward the gangway, he met Bartner Conte and his female companion Norfi, who had been waiting on the deck for a long time.

—I don't know if it was influenced by Lumian's philosophy of "adventurers must enjoy today, because there is likely no tomorrow," but Norfi, who originally insisted on living in different cabins, had already moved to Bartner's place two days ago.

Bartner now had a rosy complexion, high spirits, and his whole person was overflowing with confident light.

He waved his hand with a smile:

"Louis, you really don't look like an adventurer. Which adventurer brings a child to sea?"

"Isn't protecting a child for an employer a task that adventurers often receive?" Lumian countered with a smile.

In a sense, the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom" Church could indeed be considered his employer.

Bartner glanced at Ludwig, who was dressed like a little gentleman but carrying a red hard schoolbag, and felt that this explanation was reasonable.

However, were the child's parents so at ease with a strange adventurer and entrusted the child to him?

"At the same time, he is also my godson." Lumian added another sentence.

Bartner suddenly realized and pointed to the port area below:

"Where do you plan to stay? Shall we go see the prayer-to-the-sea ceremony together when the time comes?"

"Not sure yet. If the gods let us meet, we will meet again." After arriving in Sear Port, the nerves in Lumian's brain had already tightened, and he no longer revealed his whereabouts at will.

Bartner, who was already used to him saying one or two such Diviner-style words occasionally, didn't feel anything wrong, and could only sigh:

"Hope we can meet again."

He waved his hand and led his female companion Norfi toward the gangway.

Lumian reminded with a smile:

"Do you know Highland language?"

"A little." Bartner pointed to Norfi, who had a cute face and black hair and brown eyes, "But her mother is a local of Sear Port, and she is a mixed-blood of Feynapotter and Intis."

A local of Sear Port... No wonder you knew about the prayer-to-the-sea ceremony and wanted to come witness it... Lumian didn't say more, watching Bartner and Norfi carry their suitcases and walk down the gangway.

"Louis is not only generous and enthusiastic, good at joking, but also seems to have professional ethics." Before leaving the port area, Bartner looked back at the "Flying Bird" and said to Norfi, "He didn't tell us where they would stay just now, obviously because he didn't want to reveal the employer's situation. He should be going to Sear Port to send that child home."

Norfi nodded lightly:

"You shouldn't have asked in the first place. Adventurers' friends are all in today, and they may not meet again in the future."

"Haha, you've been polluted by Louis's life philosophy." Bartner saw a newsboy coming to solicit business, so he said to Norfi, "Buy a few newspapers related to sea rumors. We've been on the ship for several days, and the news is lagging."

Norfi also had this idea, took out the Degen copper coins she had exchanged in advance, and bought two newspapers.

She stood by the street, unfolded one of the newspapers called "Five Seas Newspaper," which was relatively popular in the ports along the Feynapotter coast, and read the content on it.

Bartner, who didn't understand Highland language, waited patiently on the side, waiting for his female companion to finish reading and relay the content to him.

Suddenly, Norfi's eyes froze, and the hand holding the newspaper was obviously tighter than just now.

"What's wrong?" Bartner asked curiously.

Norfi said hesitantly:

"A rumor appeared in Falingang, saying that the adventurer who hunted the 'Devil Warlock' is named..."

"Named what?" Bartner pursued.

Norfi was silent for a few seconds and said:

"Called, called Louis Berry."

Louis, Louis Berry? Bartner was stunned.

…………

Lumian, Ludwig, and Lugano waited until the passengers had almost left before disembarking.

When leaving the gangway, he saw a woman wearing a black nun's habit and a corresponding hat carrying a brown suitcase turning into a side road at the end of the road ahead.

Is, is that the crying woman I saw when using the "Secret-Peering Glasses"? Lumian retracted his gaze thoughtfully.

While walking, he pondered the arrangements for the next step.

First, find a hotel near the port area, second, write a letter to the "Magician," telling her that he had arrived in Sear Port, and this matter involved that Celestial Worthy, and might have "Loki's" layout, so he couldn't be careless...

Write a letter, write a letter to the "Magician"...

Write a letter!

Lumian's pupils suddenly dilated, wanting to see clearly whether the world ahead was real.

He had been on the ship for so many days, but he had completely forgotten one thing, which was to write a letter to the "Magician"!

He clearly wanted to consult his Great Arcana card at the beginning, asking if there was a problem with the frequent disasters on the "Flying Bird"!

But after that, he completely forgot about this matter!
