Mystery: From Meeting Amon

Chapter 131 The Black Pearl
The "Clover" is still staying at the port. Since the "Battle Royale at Sea" incident caused by Tris, the ship that killed people has been abandoned. Now it looks even weirder, as if the ship's hull has been scattered. open haze.

Lewis showed up at The Stronghold in the afternoon.

Compared with yesterday morning, the bar in the afternoon was obviously much more lively. Several dogs of different breeds were tied to the poles of the bar by trainers. Those dogs were wearing numbered clothes, numbered 1 to 6.

In front of the living room, a closed field made of wooden boards was also prepared, and several mice were placed in cages on the field.

Some dock workers sat around the bar, drinking wine and chatting about today's hot spots.

"Number Six has a good black back. He caught mice three times in yesterday's game. It's worth the big bets."

Lewis listened to the movement in the billiards room. The beautiful Miss Intis did not come, and the players playing in the billiards room today were all rough and strong men.

A few minutes later, the "dog takes the mouse" gambling game officially started. As the mouse was released from the cage, the six big dogs eager to try were also put into the field, chasing and killing the mouse.

In the end, dog No. [-] successfully took down the mouse and became the winner of the game, with a triumphant expression on the dog's face.

"A glass of Southwell beer."

Lewis looked at the busy dogs, and he unconsciously added "mind your own business" in his mind.

"My friend, you are here again, are you trying to get rid of that pet?" A man with a mole on his face and wearing a worker's sackcloth pushed open the door of the bar and walked in. He looked at Lewis and asked.

"Pay attention to the influence, you always talk like this, aren't you afraid of being beaten?" Lewis looked around, and he suddenly found that today's bartender is a little embarrassed, not the one from yesterday.

He generously ordered another glass of Southwell beer as a treat.

"I'm not afraid of them hitting me, I just want to see if I have the ability." The man with a mole on his face took the beer from the bartender and smiled at the bartender.

The bartender's pupils trembled slightly, showing fear and numbness.

Lewis smiled lightly. The stranger's arrogance had nothing to do with him. Anyway, he was not the one who got into trouble.

He took out a yellow coin and bounced it up. The coin was facing upwards, which meant that two rounds of betting could be properly gambled today.

"I'm buying a No. 5 hound."

Taking advantage of the end of one game and before the start of another, Lewis threw a soli coin at the dog trainer, and the coin landed on the betting "roulette wheel" accurately.

The odds used in "Dog Take Mouse" are calculated according to the number of bettors. The dealer will draw 5% of the total bets as a handling fee, and the remaining money will be distributed to the winners in proportion.

"My friend, maybe you don't know the situation in this bar. The No. 5 hound is the oldest of this batch of hounds. It has not caught the mouse for a week and is about to be sent to the restaurant." A man in the clothes of an unloading worker The man turned his head and kindly reminded.

"Maybe we should give it a chance." Lewis did not change his decision because of a few words from others.

After a few minutes, the game of "dog with mouse" started again, and the No. 5 hound pounced on it as usual. It was not as strong and agile as other dogs, but the mouse ran to its mouth, and the game ended.

Using 1 soli, Lewis won a total of 1 pound, and he continued to bet.

After winning three rounds in a row, Lewis won a total of 4 pounds in bonuses. Although the money was not much, he could feel that the potion was beginning to digest in a slow way, and his behavior was recognized by the potion.

"You are such a lucky guy." The unloading worker just looked at Lewis and couldn't help but say.

At the same time, many drinkers in the bar looked at Lewis, waiting for Lewis' next bet.

Lewis didn't speak anymore. He played a few more rounds and then stopped. Excessive overdraft of luck is not a good thing, so as not to be backlashed by "fate".

The man with the mole on his face was surprised to see that Lewis had won five games in a row. He turned his head and whispered to Lewis, "After midnight, you will know the entry conditions for the 'Black Pearl' cruise ship."

Lewis put down his beer glass calmly, paid the money, and left the stronghold bar decisively.

Someone noticed him, or in other words, noticed the "golden phalanx". When he showed the "golden phalanx" yesterday, he attracted extraordinary people.

Guessing that most of tonight's party is related to supernatural beings, he made up his mind and decided to take a look tonight.

……

I bought a windbreaker and a peaked cap in a clothing store, and after 11 o'clock in the evening, Lewis left the hotel and went straight to the pier.

In this era, lighting is a relatively extravagant thing. The dock area has a large area, so there are naturally places where the light cannot reach.

Lewis was looking for the "Black Pearl". There were many motorboats docked by the pier. His night vision was not outstanding, so it took him a lot of energy to judge the name of the motorship.

Unknowingly found it. After 11:50, Lewis still failed to find the "Black Pearl", and he gradually became anxious.

"Perhaps finding the 'Black Pearl' is the condition for participating in this party.

I shouldn't be looking with my eyesight, my hearing and senses are what I'm good at. "

Thinking of this, Lewis began to pay attention to the sounds around him. The pier was very quiet in the early morning, and he quickly found the sound of footsteps.

Following the sound all the way, Lewis found the murderous ship "Clover".

Looking at this terrifying ship, Lewis frowned, and he climbed up.

I saw the words "Black Pearl" printed with paint on the deck. Obviously, this mark was made temporarily today, and it might be erased tomorrow.

"This organization is very vigilant, maybe this gathering is worth looking forward to."

Soon, Lewis followed the faint voice and came below the deck. Here, there was a small compartment with weak lights, and a man in workman's uniform stood outside the compartment.

"Why did you come here?" The man was wearing a funny ring on his index finger, which was inlaid with a black gem the size of half a thumb.

"I came to the party," Lewis said truthfully.

Suddenly, the funny black gemstone emitted a faint green light, and the man nodded, no longer blocking Lewis from entering the compartment.

Lewis already understood that what a man wears should be a magical object, which can roughly determine whether a person is lying or not.

At this time, there were already about ten people in the compartment, and a lantern was placed on the left side of the compartment. The light emitted by this lantern was not enough to illuminate the room, which resulted in many places still being dark. The faces of the party members are unclear.

However, Lewis has already judged the general situation of the party from the clothes and appearance of these people.

There are workers on cargo ships, well-dressed banking elites, and even people who seem to be pianists.

Obviously, this gathering included people from all walks of life in Enmat Port. Perhaps, the people here may not all be extraordinary, but they must have a certain understanding of the extraordinary world.
