Chapter 535: Forgetting

"His name is Louis Berry."

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

Him?

He killed the "Devil Wizard"?

Suddenly, Philip associated it 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 Wizard" Bulman?

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

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

"He is 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 unfathomable personality, but I never thought he could hunt the 'Devil Wizard,' and at that time he didn't seem to have suffered any obvious injuries.

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

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

"Anyone who can kill the 'Devil Wizard' is indeed qualified to deter 'Bone-Breaker'... although Role might not be weaker than Bulman, just the bounty is relatively lower, but Louis Berry is someone who can solve Bulman silently...

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

Philip muttered silently.

Although he hadn't completely believed that the young man who always brought a smile and bragged in the bar was an adventurer strong enough to hunt the "Devil Wizard," 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 slapped his subordinate's head:

"Are you afraid that you'll die too late?

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

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

"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 Sangtagang, but this kind of cross-border cooperation takes several days just for communication in the early stages, and Louis Berry would have disembarked long ago.

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

"For a report that cannot succeed, bearing the risk of being discovered by Louis Berry and angering him, isn't it not very cost-effective?

"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 the people 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 doing something romantic 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 blue sea, while turning the golden straw hat in his hand idly, and his other hand was holding a glass of pale golden champagne.

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

He then smiled, raised the champagne glass in his right hand, made a gesture of clinking glasses, 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?

…………

Wah! Wah! Wah!

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

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 Sangtagang, 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 "Earth Mother," but there cannot be descendants who blaspheme the Sea Prayer Ceremony.

Looking at this scenery different from Intis ports, looking at the gradually rising mountains in the distance of Sangtagang, Lu Mian quietly praised the "Fool."

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

This allowed him to enjoy several days of peaceful life, finished reading two introductory textbooks on the Highland language, and also roughly flipped through the spirit world creature information.

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

"We can enter the port in another half hour." Lu Mian, standing at the window of the living room in Room 5 of 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 were clues to the core members of the "April Fools," "Bard" and "Salted Egg Superman"!

Of course, it could also be a trap.

Lu Mian's body trembled slightly, already a bit impatient.

Finally, the "Flying Bird" docked in Sangtagang.

When Lu Mian was leading Ludwig and 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 Lu Mian's "adventurers must try to enjoy today, because there is likely no tomorrow" philosophy, 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, was in 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 children for employers a task that adventurers often receive?" Lu Mian countered with a smile.

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

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

However, could the child's parents be so at ease entrusting the child to a strange adventurer?

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

Bartner suddenly realized, and pointed to the port area below:

"Where do you plan to stay? Shall we go see the Sea Prayer Ceremony together then?"

"Not sure yet. If the gods let us meet, we will meet again." After arriving in Sangtagang, the nerves in Lu Mian'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 Diviner-style sentences occasionally, didn't feel anything wrong, and could only sigh:

"Hope we can meet again."

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

Lu Mian reminded with a smile:

"Do you know the Highland language?"

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

A local of Sangtagang... No wonder you knew about the Sea Prayer Ceremony and wanted to come and witness it... Lu Mian 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 not wanting to reveal the employer's situation. He should be going to Sangtagang to send the child home."

Norfi nodded lightly:

"You shouldn't have asked in the first place. Adventurers' friends are all in today, and might not be able to meet again in the future."

"Haha, you've been polluted by Louis's life philosophy." Bartner saw a newsboy coming over 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 coastal ports of Feynapotter, and read the content on it.

Bartner, who didn't understand the 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 hesitated and said:

"A rumor appeared in Faling Port, saying that the adventurer who hunted the 'Devil Wizard' is named..."

"Named what?" Bartner pursued.

Norfi was silent for a few seconds and said:

"Named, named Louis Berry."

Louis, Louis Berry? Bartner was stunned.

…………

Lu Mian, Ludwig, and Lugano waited until the passengers had almost left before getting off the ship.

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 she the crying woman I saw when using the "Peering Glasses"? Lu Mian withdrew his gaze thoughtfully.

While moving forward, he pondered the arrangements for the next step.

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

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

Write a letter!

Lu Mian'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 had always forgotten one thing, which was to write a letter to "Magician"!

He clearly wanted to consult his Major 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!
