Vol 2 Chapter 461: Klein's vigilance

While Klein was secretly complaining, the reporter Mike on the side asked directly with a weird expression:

"Talim, why do you hire Sherlock for a private meeting with the lady at night? Is it possible that you have any special hobbies?"

Talim glanced back at him, and said in an angry manner: "We have known each other for so long, have you ever seen me have a similar hobby?"

"That's hard to say, maybe you just discovered it recently..." Mike shrugged, but didn't keep joking. After all, one or two ridicules are okay. If you get entangled, you will get bored. This is even good. It's the same with friends.

Yes, he turned to ask: "Or is it the relationship problem that you used to consult with your "friend"?"

When Talim asked Klein a few weeks ago, Mike happened to listen.

Hearing this, Klein also refocused his attention, because he had already guessed that Talim's friend should be Prince Edsac, and the so-called "relationship" issue may involve two " Witch".

But... I seemed to be considering the connection between "Xiao Ke" and "The Fool" to learn more about this matter... But why didn't I think about it? Although I am really busy recently...

Klein was slightly alert, because of a similar situation, he had experienced it once in Tingen.

Hearing Mike's question, Talim shook his head and said:

"That emotional dispute is actually over... This time, it can only be regarded as the aftermath.

"Well, it's actually not a serious matter, it's because I thought too much at the time.

"Simply speaking, it means that a distinguished young gentleman fell in love with a commoner woman. You know, a man of similar status must marry a noble lady. For him, even the daughter of a rich man cannot do it.

"For the future of that young gentleman, I once thought about asking Sherlock to find someone with some magical abilities, secretly, hehe, in short, I am a law-abiding person, I only think about it in my head."

In other words, a witch confuses the prince and wants the prince to marry her? And the other witch is desperately preventing this? This is a bit bloody...but solved it? How to solve it? Did you report it to the official?

Thinking of this, Klein just wanted to ask for specific details, but Mike reporter who was very interested in the matter asked first: "How did the matter solve it?"

Talim thought for a while and replied:

"The solution was simpler than I thought. I directly found the lady and told her about the dilemma. She sensibly expressed her willingness to leave the gentleman and asked me to help.

"I have to say that she is really a considerate, kind, elegant, and beautiful girl. If I don't consider my identity, maybe I will kneel in front of her and kiss the back of her hand."

The charm of the witch... But since she is so talkative, how can she seduce the prince? Klein picked up a cup of black tea, took a sip, and asked:

"Which lady are you going to see tonight? It has something to do with this matter?" Isn't it the "witch" Lina? No, it is more accurate to call Lina the "Pleasure Witch" now.

"You also recognize the lady Sherlock who is going to see...that is, the one who chased the club that day..." Talim glanced at a picture of Mike listening to gossip beside him, gritted his teeth and continued." She is very capable...much better than me...I am afraid that after telling her what the young gentleman said, she vented my anger...

"In terms of skill, except for Detective Brian, among the people I know, you are the strongest Sherlock."

It's really Lina... And, you look at me up high, and I met a "happy witch" head on, I don't have enough to look at it!

After spitting out a few words in his heart, Klein had some guesses and asked directly: "This lady you want to meet also likes your distinguished friend? Are you rejecting her on behalf of your friend?"

"It's a detective...you guessed it! That lady and my friend should have known each other since they were young, and the relationship is very good...but it seems to be a very unpleasant nuisance in this matter, and my friend hid from the beginning. She didn't want to see her again later..." Talim sighed and said helplessly.

"Your friend is not very authentic in this matter... Even if you want to reject a lady, you have to speak in person... What's the point of finding someone to spread the word like this?" Reporter Mike frowned.

Talim shrugged his shoulders as Mike did. He actually didn't know what the relationship was between the two, so he was afraid that Ms. Lina would hurt himself on impulse.

"Then why do you have an appointment in the middle of the night?" Klein asked again.

"I don't know... it was the invitation from the lady. I reported to my distinguished friend, and then he confessed the task."

Speaking of this, Talim consciously said a bit too much, and hurriedly stopped the stubbornness, and then asked, "Sherlock, are you willing to accept my commission? I can pay you 5 pounds..."

5 pounds... really an unlucky number. Klein smiled politely, then stood up and said: "Sorry, my stomach is not feeling well, I want to go to the bathroom first...

"I will give you an answer when I get back."

"Okay, I'll wait for you in the restaurant." Talim nodded.

In the bathroom, Klein went above the gray fog, manifested a spirit pendulum, and silently recited the divination sentence:

"It is dangerous to follow Talim to the appointment tonight."

After seven times, he opened his eyes and saw the citrine pendant spinning clockwise, and the speed was very fast!

There is danger, and the danger is still great!

It stands to reason that even if Lina is promoted to Sequence 6, it is impossible to give me such a big threat... After all, even the previous battle with the Rose School was not as big as this time...

Well, either Lina has a very powerful item on her body, and she is very hostile to me, so she doesn't hesitate to use her hole cards... or the danger does not come from Lina, but someone else.

and the latter may be even greater!

After thinking for a moment, Klein silently recites the divination sentence again:

"The danger comes from Lina."

This time, the pendant turned counterclockwise.

Sure enough, the danger comes from other people...who would it be?

The prince suddenly fell in love with a witch, another witch who had known the prince since childhood wanted to stop, but was always avoided by the prince...

I wanted to understand what "Lina" did through the connection between "The Fool" and "Xiao Ke", but I always forgot... Well, there must be some reason why I have been busy recently, and I did not think of it. After all, It should be possible to block this kind of influence over the "gray fog"... But the time when I was not above the fog, did not recall it once, it was very abnormal!

This ability to "interfere" behavior...will it be "0-08"?

Lina is in the sight of "0-08"... and she knows Klein! So, if I accompany Talim to find her tonight, I might be seen through her identity, and then "0-08" and Ince know that the Tingen Night Watcher who should have died a long time ago is still alive?

Is this the source of danger?

Well, in that case, if I promised Talim, it would be more likely to harm him...

Thinking of this, Klein carried out divination again, and got the result that Talim did not follow him tonight.

Seeing this, Klein had a decision in his heart, but he couldn't help but smile wryly, muttering to himself:

"Although it's just my guess, if this matter is really '0-08', then it should be Prince Edsac. Therefore, everyone related to the prince must be in '0-08'. In the sight of... Talim will be no exception!

"And I must be 'knowed' by 0-08 again because of my contact with Talim...

"Of course,'Sherlock' is just a small person, and it is not deeply involved in this matter. Ince may not notice, and he can't pay attention to so many people... But once I really do something, such as reporting or The investigation will inevitably be discovered... It is difficult to succeed without saying, and it is very likely to be'arranged' to die...

"If you report through the Tarot Club... Miss Magician has no good way, Miss Justice currently has no suitable excuses to explain the source of intelligence... More importantly, I have no evidence, and I don't know Ince's information. The whereabouts, let them report hastily, will only bring them danger!

"And the only Miss "Trial" who had the ability and an excuse to investigate, left Backlund at exactly this time...

"This is really...

"Forget it, I can't think about it anymore, after all, it remains to be verified whether '0-08' is doing a trick!"

sighed, Klein let the manifest pendulum disappear, then simulated the feeling of falling back to reality, and quickly returned to the club restaurant, apologizing to Talim:

"I'm sorry, Talim. I thought about it, it's not appropriate to go with you... After all, it involves your friend's privacy... And it's not appropriate for the two of us to meet a lady together at night. ...I advise you to make another appointment too."

Talim seemed to have expected it a long time ago and was not disappointed. He only sighed: "No need to apologize... I owe it to consideration... Hey I just don't want to face such embarrassing scenes alone. ..."

"I believe that lady will not embarrass you." Although Klein's words were comforting, they were also his true thoughts.

After all, Ms. Lina may have noticed something.

However, Klein still decided to monitor the meeting remotely through his "close" contact with Xiao Ke in the middle of the night, lest Talim would really be in danger.

…

Byam, Abner took Elaine, who had been disguised, along the streets of the night market, tasting food, shopping for specialty goods, strolling through shops, and unknowingly arrived near the "Red Theater".

"Red Theater" is the most famous brothel on the sea. Countless pirates come here admiringly. Even if one or two colleagues are caught there every other time, it doesn't prevent them from succeeding.

Elaine saw the signboard, looked at Abner weirdly, stepped back and asked, "What are you doing here?"

She didn't think that Abner really brought her to the brothel to entertain her... It was just that after this time of getting along, she learned some of the evil tastes of this "hero detective", and was afraid that he would come up with something to tease herself.

Vol 2 Chapter 462: Deal with Darkwell

Elaine followed Abner and entered the dim herbal shop. She glanced away and saw a thin girl squatting next to the bucket in front of the counter, with round eyes standing on the rim of the bucket. Owl brushing feathers.

The owl actively raised its wings to cooperate with the girl's movements.

The boss behind the counter is wearing a black robe like a village witch doctor. He is in his thirties, with black hair and brown eyes, a round face, a chubby body, and a very kind look.

But soon, Elaine overturned her own judgment.

Seeing Abner and Elaine walking into the shop, "Fat Pharmacist" Darkwell's face first had a trace of astonishment, and then he showed an ambiguous smile and said:

"Isn't this a'hero detective'? I didn't expect to meet you in Bayam... And, is this another one?"

Having said that, he deliberately glanced at Elaine who was next to Abner.

Changed another one? What's the meaning? Has Detective Bryan always had a hobby of arresting people as maids? Then he has no other maids beside me now, because he released them after the "contract" expired? Well, this at least shows that he is a trustworthy person... Elaine couldn't help but think about it.

This fat man's temperament hasn't changed at all... Abner gave a polite smile, ignored his question, and turned to look at Budi who was brushing the owl.

Although the girl's face and arms still have signs of festering, it has improved a lot compared to last night. More importantly, her whole spirit has changed a lot. It is no longer as gloomy and desperate as before, but a little more. Hope.

Even if she is working, even if it is very difficult to brush the owl with her sickly body, she seems to be happy, without any slack.

Does this make her feel that she lives like a person? What a... easily satisfied girl!

While Abner secretly sighed, Darkwell saw his gaze looking at Budi, so he casually introduced: "That's the maid I hired for my pet..."

It's really stinky and kind as always... The so-called pet maid is looking for a reason to leave Budi for treatment, right? Exercise of this intensity should also help the treatment of Budi's disease...

Although thinking about it this way, Abner joked after taking back his gaze on the surface:

"You didn't have a servant to take care of yourself, so you found a maid for your pet? Its treatment is higher than you..."

Darkwell chuckled a few times: "I don't need someone to clean my personal hygiene... As for the other uses of the maid... I can go to the opposite 'Red Theater' to find someone to do it for you!"

Hearing this, Abner hadn't reacted yet, but Elaine, who was standing aside boringly, suddenly looked over. She narrowed her eyes and said in her heart: Who are you "intension"? When did the maid's work overlap with the "Red Theater"?

Co-authored in your heart the maid is so rude? Darkwell, what books do you usually read? After vomiting in his heart, Abner stopped entangled with the other party on this topic. He came to the herbal shop to see Budi's situation first, and to buy the "Secret Master" potion by the way. Auxiliary materials needed-"Dragon Blood Five-color Flower".

Although this kind of flower is fairly common in Rhombus, Massey, and Segal, it rarely appears in other places. He didn't know the reason at first, but after communicating with the "Bingberg Lieutenant", he learned that this kind of flower needs to be watered with the blood of extraordinary people or extraordinary animals through the "audience" to bloom...so it is called the "dragon blood five-color flower" ".

It is said that in the Tertiary Age, in the glorious age, the five-color flower of dragon blood was only open on the battlefield where the gem dragon and the spiritual dragon were fighting.

And the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom" church is in charge of a part of the formula of the "audience" approach, and it is not a big deal for the Extraordinary of this approach to bleed a bit of blood to water the flowers as auxiliary materials for potions.

Back to the topic, the reason why Abner came to Duckwell to buy is actually to try his luck. After all, he has an owl that is a "spectator" channel?

"Dragon Blood Five-Colored Flower?" Hearing what Abner needed, Duckwell nodded thoughtfully, and finally understood why the other party was so. So easy to find the door...

Looks like I was targeted at the party? The ability of "detective" is really troublesome! Darkwell was very confident in his disguise, pushing all the reasons for exposure to the difficulty of his extraordinary ability.

"I have the seeds of the 'Dragon Blood Five-color Flower', and I know how to grow it... But even if you start to cultivate it now, you have to wait at least one month later if you want it to bloom... And, you should know that this kind of flower is difficult to serve. , Some of the nutrients needed are very precious..." Darkwell glanced at his silly bird who was enjoying the maid's "massage", and said in a sentence.

Isn't the reason for exaggerating difficulties just to ask for more money? I'm familiar with this... Abner laughed at himself and asked calmly on the surface: "What kind of reward do you want?"

"Hey, I want an extraordinary weapon that works together... You know, Byam's law and order is far worse than Backlund, and even strong men like 'Gulishi' Ozl were killed last night. , I don't know which force's **** was the black hand. It doesn't matter if he is dead, but the'Fragrant Leaf Bar' still owes me a batch of the balance of the potion...

"I will live here for a while. Although there are some means of self-defense, it would be better if I had a powerful weapon."

Having said that, Darkwell remembered something and added, "Don't want that little girl's hair!"

The person who killed Ozil is right in front of you...How can this "pharmacist" be more "provocative" than me? Although he may be unintentional... Besides, what is the little girl's hair? Is Mr. Blaine's former maid's hair? When Elaine heard this, various thoughts came to mind.

Didn't you actually want to entrust me to find your teacher's whereabouts? I thought this was your urgent need...but that's right, Darkwill obviously came to Byam not long ago, and he wasn't too anxious about meeting with his teacher...

As for Extraordinary Weapons... that's nothing, just to give him a hand-training one.

Abner thought for a while, or asked: "What kind of weapon do you want?"

"The power is naturally the stronger the better... But I don't think you will find me anything that exceeds the value of the 'Dragon Blood Five-color Flower'... As for the style, it is best to be a whip." Darkwell thought. He replied without thinking.

The Owl, who was comfortably rubbing his back by Budi, suddenly stunned when he heard this.

whip? Well, it's reasonable for the "trainer" to have a whip... Abner nodded and said, "No problem."

The deal was negotiated Aibner and Duckwell talked about their experiences again—the kind that can be shared, and then bid farewell to them and left the herbal shop with Elaine.

"Silly bird, did they hide anything from me just now? I still think it's weird that the detective came up suddenly."

Until then, the owl said directly: "Darkwell, please call me'Mr. Harry' when asking questions... Well, the girl was questioning your opinion of the maid... That detective was also slandering you. Books that are never serious... Are yours really serious?"

It didn't avoid Budi at all when it spoke, and Budi was not surprised, still doing his own scrubbing work.

The fat flesh on Darkwell's face trembled, and he said angrily: "I didn't ask you this!"

"That detective seems to have some curiosity and pity for Budi...As for the others, I can't see it." Owl tilted his head and hesitated when he said that, "Darkwell, can you change to an extraordinary weapon? ?"

Vol 2 Chapter 463: Lina's mind

Late at night, at the entrance of a villa in St. George's district in Backlund.

The nearby Talim who had been here a long time ago looked at his pocket watch and saw that the agreed time had come, so he mustered up the courage and rang the doorbell of the house that did not show a trace of light.

Speaking of which, why does Ms. Lina live in such a gloomy place? I have to meet in the middle of the night... Is it possible that she is the witch or sorceress that often appears in those horror stories?

I should hire Sherlock here...

No, that's not right, if something terrible really appears, hiring Sherlock will actually harm him...

Talim, who was blown cold by the night wind, became frightened afterwards, and couldn't stop thinking about it.

At this moment, the door of the villa was pushed open, and a young man dressed in a neutral dress came out carrying a lamp. After carefully distinguishing Talim's appearance, he said politely: "Mr. Dumont, Please come with me, Ms. Lina is waiting for you in the living room."

Talim's full name is Talim Dumont. He was originally a son of a nobleman. His ancestor had the title of Viscount. Unfortunately, his family property was squandered by his grandfather.

Talim looked at the other party for a long time, but couldn't tell whether it was a gentleman or a lady, so he had to vaguely say, "Thank you."

"You are welcome." The young man replied softly, and then led the prince's friend into the villa.

To Talim's surprise, the dark-looking villa outside was brightly lit, so that he couldn't help but put his hand on his eyebrows before his eyes had time to adapt.

After following the young man all the way to the living room, Talim saw the old friend of the prince, Miss Lina.

I have to say that Miss Lina's temperament is actually somewhat similar to that of the young lady whom His Royal Highness is currently obsessed with. They are all so quiet, elegant, and equally beautiful...

It's a pity that no one of them can be the wife of the prince!

Talim sighed secretly and greeted Lina on his own initiative.

After Lina got up to salute, she went straight to the subject without saying any more:

"It is Edsack who wants you to bring it to me, right?

"Hehe, I guess it won't be good news... Is he going to break my relationship with me?"

This... Miss, since you are so smart, you don't seem to be blinded by love, why do you keep entangled? Talim was puzzled, but on the surface he gritted his teeth, and did not mention the unfeeling words of the prince, but euphemistically advised:

"Ms. Lina... I think you should know that the spouse of the prince can only be a noble lady... such as the daughter of Earl Hall..."

Before he finished speaking, Lina interrupted directly: "I didn't mean to be his wife... My goal was to keep the 'witch' from approaching Edsac from beginning to end."

Witch? How could that considerate, kind, gentle, and beautiful girl be a witch? Speaking of it, you who met me in the middle of the night are more like a witch-if this is a gloomy castle instead of a bright villa.

After spitting out a few words in his heart, Talim shook his head and said: "But the lady has accepted my suggestion and is willing to leave His Royal Highness..."

"Leave? She really wants to...Unfortunately, she can't help it!" Lina sighed helplessly, and then said, "Do you know why I want to talk to you at this time?"

Talim, who was in the mist by these words, subconsciously said: "Why?"

"Because only in the middle of the night can I temporarily get rid of the manipulated 'destiny' with an item...but not every time..." Lina explained meaningfully.

"Manipulate" fate? What is this mess? Talim felt that there might be something wrong with Ms. Lina's spirit, and couldn't help but worry.

"You won't know what to tell you... In short, you just need to help the caring, kind, gentle, and beautiful girl in your mouth after you go back... Maybe she has the ability to break this 'destiny' Maybe." After Lina finished speaking, she raised her teacup and motioned to the young man to see off the guests.

The young man was a little confused at first, and then a Ji Ling answered, and then he took out Talim who was still confused.

After there was no one in the living room, Lina waited for a while, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.

...

Above the gray fog, with the help of the young man "Xiao Ke"'s vision, Klein, who had watched the whole conversation, frowned deeply.

"What does this Lina mean? Since she has the means to block '0-08', why did she call Talim and tell him specifically? Is the test effective?

"No... there is a risk of leaking secrets! After all, if the prince is the center of the plan, Talim should be regarded as the person that Ince's focus is on... Even if there is shielding in the villa, once he leaves there, there is a high probability that he will Known by '0-08'.

"Unless, she is deliberately revealing information to '0-08'! Is this...maybe a 'strategic fraud'?

"She should indeed have the means to resist the '0-08' arrangement, but it is probably not necessary to be in the villa, not to be in the middle of the night, and not likely to resist... This is just a false news that she deliberately revealed!

"However, since I would be suspicious of this, would Ince have no idea?

"Hmm... I may have overlooked an important issue before... That is, although Ince Zangwill is in charge of '0-08', the Sealed Artifact must have terrible side effects. The information is shown to the 'master', especially when the 'master' is not around!

"...Perhaps, Lina chose late at night because she had been tentatively before and found out what pattern, so she would 'defraud' at this point in time, hoping that the sealed artifact could cooperate with her?

"She knows '0-08' better than I do... If it's really '0-08' who is doing a ghost in the back...

"Who told her? Is that the old man who gave her the "Degenerate Morning Star"? Who is he?"

Klein, who had no clue for a long time, paused his thoughts helplessly, muttering to himself:

"Perhaps the 'Iron Man' who also has a grudge against Ince knows something...

"Um Although Mr.'Tower' is very principled and he is unwilling to reveal the identity of 'Iron Man'... But I can ask him to inquire for me...

"The next time the Tarot will talk to him alone... As for the remuneration, I happen to have the characteristics of a'judge' that the 'judge' lady needs! I think with the close relationship between those two, Mr.'Tower' will definitely not Mind the exchange for Miss Judgement."

...

Byam.

Busy days always go by quickly, it seems that it was just a blink of an eye, and the time came to Sunday.

On this morning, Abner had just turned the "Werewolf" feature commissioned by Jane into an extraordinary item, and a shining fire light appeared above the teleportation altar in the basement. Then, "Lieutenant Iceberg" Edwina appeared. Before his eyes.

"The 'Golden Dream' has arrived in the waters near Gulain City in East Balang."

Vol 2 Chapter 464: Arriving in the South Continent for the first time

Arrived in the southern continent? It seems to be a day later than expected... It should be caused by the departure of the "Golden Dream" after the "Black Emperor" last time...

Abner put down the "long-handled sickle" he had just built, thought for a while and said, "I still have something to deal with. I will send it back to Gurain with you in the afternoon."

After all, the cost of "transportation" is so high that it can save a little... and the theoretical maximum number of people that can be carried by "Edwards-Brain Teleportation" is three.

"Lieutenant General Bingberg" Edwina nodded and said: "I happen to have to purchase some items too."

After that, the two chatted for a few more words, and Edwina used the secret technique to hide her figure, left the aromatic manor alone, and went to the city of Bayam.

And Abner, after confirming her departure, blew the copper whistle that Jane left him, summoned the other party's messenger, and handed the long black sickle that had just been built to Cong Void. Drilled out, the bone messenger nearly four meters high.

"Name: Scythe of Curse

"Appearance: Long-handled giant sickle, with a huge crescent-shaped sickle-shaped blade.

"Ability: The blade of the giant sickle is extremely sharp, and it can easily tear open the ordinary steel plate armor, and even cut the skin of the 'living corpse' when it is swung fully.

"A creature cut by a blade will be cursed, transformed into servants and puppets of the knife, and become a monster similar to a werewolf, controlled by the owner of the sickle, but with a short lifespan.

"The holder of the sickle can gain extremely strong self-healing ability, even if the heart is penetrated, it is difficult to be really killed.

"Negative effect: every night of the full moon or blood moon, one person's amount of fresh blood must be sprinkled on the blade, otherwise it will backfire the holder and draw the holder's blood;

"In addition, the bearer's desire to kill and bloodthirsty will continue to increase with the contact with the sickle. On the night of a full moon or blood moon, the rate of increase will be more than a hundred times that of usual.

"Recommended use: It is recommended to use the ability to suppress desire and emotions at the same time when using this article, or to take a tranquilizer with similar effects.

"Seal method: Place it in a container that does not come in contact with any creatures and can block the moonlight."

Recalling the "report" of the extraordinary weapon named "The Cursed Scythe", Abner felt that it was a success, and it was worthwhile to practice the craft for so long.

"Besides, as an Extraordinary of the 'Reaper' approach, Jane uses a sickle as a weapon to complement each other. The 'meaning' is very good...I think she must be very satisfied."

After talking to himself with a smile, Abner packed up the remaining materials, closed the workshop, and returned to his study, ready to listen to "Sea Snake" Weaver's report on the work of the co-management of "Fragrant Leaf Bar" —This is also the main reason why he didn't go to the Southern Continent with Edwina right away.

As for the "Red Maid" Elaine, after the "Scythe of Curse" was built, she was so tired that she went back to the room to rest, and she hadn't been relieved by this moment.

"Sea Snake" Weaver can be described as high-spirited these days. With the help of money provided by Abner, he has successfully accepted the "Fragrant Leaf Bar" and is preparing to hold an extraordinary party next Wednesday night.

Although there were some twists and turns during this period, Weaver managed to balance it with his own means and strength, and did not even apply for assistance from Abner.

And he came to report this time, one is to "invite credit for a reward", and the other is to ask Mr. Blaine to sit down at the next extraordinary gathering, so as not to have competitors take the opportunity to make trouble.

Of course, on the face of it, he was sending an invitation to an extraordinary party to Detective Bryan—not only here, but Byam, whenever extraordinary forces were involved, he personally came to post.

After listening to Weaver's report, Abner thought about it for a while, and finally decided to go to this place as a "craftsman"... If someone makes trouble at that time, it will happen to be "free endorsement" for the extraordinary items he created.

As for whether the official or other mysterious organizations will track down the identity of the "artisan"... Abner is not too worried, because when he left Backlund, the Mother Earth Church asked Harou to give him a blank copy. personal I.D.

If he really wanted to check it out, he had a big deal to use this certificate to temporarily pinch a "craftsman" waistcoat out...there was an endorsement by the Mother Earth Church, which was enough to deter most of the forces.

After dismissing the Weaver, Abner knocked on Elaine's door again and told the tired-faced lady to take care of the ordinary people in the manor. Then he went down the stairs into the underground workshop and came to the teleportation altar. .

At this time, Edwina, who was carrying a bag, also happened to return.

Abner took a peek and saw that most of the bags contained various clothes and toiletries...

Edwina noticed his gaze and calmly said: "During the battle, the clothes may be damaged...but the ones Danitz bought back don't fit well...you have to change it every time..."

Madam, you don't need to explain this to me... Apart from slandering in his heart, Abner felt that such an "iceberg lieutenant" seemed a little more "smoky".

…

On the safe passage in the Fury Sea, a Ruen Class 1 sailing warship was sailing through the waves.

The hull of this ship was damaged in many places, and even the mast could be seen broken and broken. Obviously, it had encountered a big battle before.

Hugh Dilcha wore a slightly modified navy uniform and walked out of the cabin on the ground floor toward the cabin where His Royal Highness Vera lived.

The sailors on the deck stood up straight subconsciously after seeing the majestic lady, their faces full of respect.

After all, in the previous battle, this small lady not only stopped at least ten pirates with just one person, but also broke the mast of the opposing ship with a fist, which allowed the 6,000 pounds to be rewarded. The big pirate failed to escape in time.

"It is said that several pirates peeed their pants just by looking at her..."

"But why? She is obviously very cute."

"Hehe, you don't know that, Miss Hugh has the nickname "Invisible Fear" in Backlund!"

Hearing the whispers of the crew members, Xio couldn't help pursing her lips, even if she was complimenting her, she was not very happy.

Xio took a deep breath, adjusted her emotions, and then knocked on the door of His Royal Highness Vera.

"Please come in." Vera was sitting in a chair, reading a book.

Xio Gang, who had just walked in, wanted to greet him, but at a glance he recognized that the book in His Highness's hand was Forsi's "Storm Mountain Villa".

After all, this book was completed under her reminder. For this reason, the editor specially invited her to dinner and gave her a sample book... As for its cover, Hugh couldn't be more familiar with it.

Your Highness also likes to watch "Storm Mountain Villa" and other love? Although there are horror and reasoning elements in it...

While Xiu was thinking about it, Vera had already put down her book and asked in a soft voice: "What was the result of the 'interrogation'?"

Hugh then came back to his senses, handed over the records in his hand, and replied: "Like the previous gangs of pirates, they were all instigated by unknown people before they came to attack us... Treasure'.

"The only difference is that this group of people is much stronger than the previous ones. The sealed item in the hands of the Windbearer is stronger than the ordinary Sequence 5... If it weren't for your Highness, this battleship would probably be killed by him. Captured."

Vera smiled when she heard the words, meaningfully said: "Even if I'm not here, nothing will happen."

Xio instantly understood Vera's meaning, nodded thoughtfully, and just wanted to ask His Royal Highness what valuables this ship was escorting. When it was attacked again and again, she saw Vera's heroic face suddenly. After a change, Huo Di stood up.

I don't know if it was an illusion, Hugh keenly felt something terrifying in Vera's body flashed away.

This feeling seemed familiar... but she couldn't remember it.

As the thoughts turned, Xio was on guard, pondering the sentence and asked: "His Royal Highness, what happened?"

Vera stood there for a few seconds without hearing it, before exhaling, and replied vaguely: "Nothing...It's okay."

Xio's lips moved a few times, but after all, he didn't speak again.

…

In a sea area on the west coast of the South Continent, a huge jet-black sailing ship suddenly emerged from the void and landed on the sea.

"Viscount Fear" Bird Marstein watched on the deck for a while with his monoculars, then he frowned, turned around and walked a long distance in just seven or eight steps, and came to the captain's room. Correspondingly below, respectfully saluted:

"Earl, the 'Black Emperor' was abnormal when it was shuttled... We could not reach the predetermined location, instead we came to the vicinity of Behrens."

After a brief silence, a deep and majestic voice came from the captain's room:

"I see... hunting in Behrens nearby."

"Follow your will!" Bird Marstein respectfully agreed.

After Bird delivered the order, Nast, the "king of the five seas" sitting on the iron black throne, muttered to himself in doubt:

"The mist just now...what is it?

"That's the result of Jadabao's trying to test?"

…

On Sunia Island, a burst of black smoke appeared on the burly body of the senior deacon of the God of War Church Panin. When it dissipated, a man with slender cheeks, round eyes, and a red formal suit appeared embarrassed. Stature.

It was after the Pirate Conference that he helped Nast meet Panin's "Duke of Terror" Jadabao.

At this moment, his condition was very bad. A stream of magma flowed out of his mouth and nose. The devil's fleshy wings and tail were also uncontrollably worn out and grew out... Obviously he was on the verge of losing control.

Fortunately, Panin used Extraordinary abilities to seal the space, otherwise half of the Extraordinary on Sunia Island would be alarmed by the breath of the devil.

After a long while, Jadabao finally returned to normal, retracting his wings and tail.

"Sure enough, it's you...

"I didn't expect you to become the princess of the Augustus family..."

Jadabao pushed his glasses, an exaggerated smile hung on the corner of his mouth.

…

South Continent, Gurain City.

Abner, who was transported from the Fragrant Manor to the "Golden Dream", soon entered the city with distinct levels built on the hillside.

He changed to look like a Doctor Strange, carrying a suitcase, picking a direction at will, looking for houses that he could "use" along the way.

Yes, he didn't plan to live in a hotel or rent a house from a regular channel. After all, he is going to make a high profile here, but he can't let people know his specific residence.

At this time, a teenage girl suddenly chased up from behind, and shouted as she ran: "Sir, you dropped something."

Abner stopped, looked back at the beautiful silver card in the girl's hand, and smiled gently: "Thank you, little girl. Your quality is more valuable than this card... So, I decided to give it to you. NS."

After speaking, Abner turned and left. After the girl was stunned, she tried to decline, but found that she could no longer see the figure of the gentleman just now.

She stomped her feet in annoyance, preparing to put away the card first, and then come here tomorrow to see if she can meet that gentleman...

At the same time, Gura suddenly appeared one by one silver cards in each block. They were either picked up by people or dropped directly into people's pockets or packages...

Vol 2 Chapter 465: Commission and selection of temporary base from Harou

Because it was built on the mountain, most of the houses in Gulain City were built along the spiraling road, and occasionally there were flat and open areas, such as squares or markets.

Abner traveled all the way and found that as described in the original book, there were not too many carriages on the street, and only one or two could be seen occasionally.

The most popular means of transportation here is the "coffin" with the characteristics of Dong Bailang. This is derived from the custom of worshipping the **** of death and because people regard the coffin as an object that can bring peace and tranquility.

Therefore, in Gurain, the "black sliding light and breathable" coffins carried by two people, four people, eight people, horses or unicorns are the mainstream means of transportation...

After stopping and walking, Abner quickly found a house that met his requirements. After observing it in an invisible state for a while, he had cares in his mind:

"The area is not small, but there are not many people in the family, and there are few servants. A lot of space is wasted, especially the wine cellar in the basement... A little bit of the random wine barrels can be freed up for layout. The space of the altar is still very hidden...

"However, although it is good here, there may be better ones... and it's still early, so it's better to look for other places and shop around..."

When he stopped to think, the coffin carried by four people happened to be put down by the side of the road.

As the lid opened, the passenger lying in the coffin stood up and stepped out. He was a northern continental gentleman in a white shirt and black vest.

The gentleman's formal attire was always on his arms until he left the coffin before being draped on his body.

Then, Abner watched the gentleman with slightly curly brown hair head straight to the house he was fancying, and was greeted warmly by his wife and daughter.

This should be a husband and father who had returned from a business trip... However, the operation of coming out of the coffin and going straight home is really a strange sense of contradiction... Abner made a complaint and continued with his choice. The journey of "white prostitution house".

...

Backlund, Klein, after protecting Mike reporters and completing interviews with Daisy and Liv's family, just returned to Minsk Street and saw Dr. Allen waiting for him at the door.

He accompanied the doctor a few days ago to find the child named "Will Uncertain", but unfortunately the other party has passed away, and his family has moved away long ago.

This incident had come to an end here, but Allen suddenly had a nightmare during the night of the day, dreaming of a big silver-white snake, and the child named "Will" was asking him for help.

But after Klein's "meticulous" "reasoning", he realized that the nightmare should have originated from a paper crane that Will gave to Allen before his death.

After investigating in his dreams, Klein discovered that there was probably a fight between two "mercury snakes" behind this incident, so he secretly exchanged the paper cranes he folded for Allen's one, lest he should be attracted by it. Disaster.

But last night, the night watcher came to Klein's dream to ask about this. After he informed the other party about the paper cranes, the "Nightmare" left happily.

Just when Klein thought of this, Allen took out his wallet and took out a paper crane, and then couldn't wait to say:

"Sherlock, I had that nightmare again last night, and I don't think it's normal.

"You said could it be its problem?

"Since I found it and carried it with me, I started to have nightmares."

Klein glanced indifferently, his expression suddenly solidified. If he had not been a "clown" and had a strong control over facial muscles, he might even show an unconcealable smile in front of the doctor. Yes, smile.

This, this thousand paper cranes are folded uglier than mine... Is this the tradition of the night watcher, and the handwork is relatively poor? This was the idea that Klein had in an instant.

There is no doubt that the paper cranes in front of them are the product of another drop. After getting accurate information from themselves, the night watchers seemed to have no delay. They sneaked into Dr. Allen's bedroom that night and made adjustments.

The operation was correct, but the work was rougher... Klein shook his head secretly, and then organized a few words to comfort Allen, and encouraged him to talk to the bishop... After speaking, he did not forget to draw a picture on his chest. Triangle sacred emblem.

After listening to the advice, Allen calmed down and nodded in approval:

"It makes sense...I'll go to the bishop."

After Alan left in a hurry, Klein sighed, quickened his pace, took out the key, and opened the door of his home.

Before entering, he habitually looked at the letter box and found that there was another letter lying in it.

Who sent it from? Klein took out the letter and glanced at the setting sun penetrating the mist.

No stamps...The handwriting is very beautiful, and a little familiar...Huh? This seems to be the handwriting of the lady Haruer in the Harvest Church...How could she write to me? How did you send it here?

But soon, Klein wanted to understand how the letter came.

He had brought the blood house Emlyn to prepare medicine for his neighbor Mrs. Doris before, and he revealed his address at that time...

So, is Emlyn the "postman"?

Nodding thoughtfully, Klein entered the house and closed the door, then after wearing the "Nightmare Badge", opened the letter and read it-the "Nightmare Badge" can provide weak night vision ability, so I can save as much as possible without turning on the lights. a little.

The signature of the letter was indeed Miss Haruer Macht, and there was not much content in it. It was just that he asked him to meet at Harvest Church tomorrow evening and wanted to entrust him with one thing.

Klein groaned for a while holding the letter paper, then returned to the bedroom, walked four steps backwards into the gray mist, manifested the spirit pendulum, and said silently:

"It is dangerous to meet with Miss Haruer at Harvest Church tomorrow."

After seven times, he opened his eyes and saw the citrine pendant turning counterclockwise.

There is no danger... It means that it is a normal entrusted task... But Miss Haruer is the daughter of a member of the House of Commons. She has a wealthy family and is backed by the Church of the Mother Goddess. What will happen to me as a little detective?

Wouldn't it be for me to catch Mr. "Tower"?

But Mr. "Tower" seems to be in Bayam which is a bit far away...

Klein couldn't help but guess wildly.

...

Southern Continent, Gulagin City, Upper Lip District, No. 22 Menya Street.

Seeing that the sun was about to set, Abner, who had been around in this mountain city, returned to the house he had originally chosen, because he had searched for a long time, but he didn't find a more suitable one.

After making the decision, Abner disappeared, simulated the ability to "open the door", and walked into the hall openly.

Before entering, he glanced back at the house plate and saw that it was written in both Luen and Dutan scripts:

"Wal family."

Vol 2 Chapter 467: "Weirdness" in Gurain City

Riddle's family, who lives on the outskirts of Gulain city, runs a small pasture and raises unicorn sheep unique to the southern continent.

The unicorn sheep is not only strong in physique and excellent endurance, it is a good choice for renting black coffins, but the meat is also very chewy, and it is quite popular with some gentlemen in the North Continent.

Of course, there are also fresh ladies who feed them as pets, but after all, they are a minority...After all, although unicorns look special, they are not so cute when they grow up.

Relying on the income from the ranch, the Riddle family entered the ranks of the middle class. Not only did they have a good food and clothing, they also occasionally travel and vacation to the Rhodes Islands.

But recently, Riddle was so upset that he often couldn't sleep, even his favorite little daughter Valeria didn't dare to speak loudly at home.

Because his unicorn sheep had an unknown disease and was losing weight every day, even a few of them could not even stand up and might die at any time.

For Riddle, he cannot accept the loss of any sheep, not to mention that there are all problems now... If no solution is found, he is likely to go bankrupt as a result, and even this small pasture will be difficult to keep... …

Therefore, since these recent days, he has been going to the city every day to find various experts, scholars, doctors, and even the priests of the "Storm Lord" church to find a way, but the problem has not been solved even after spending a lot of money. .

But yesterday, after he went to the city again to find a solution, he heard his little daughter Valeria saying that she had picked up a silver card. Just when she wanted to return the card to the owner, the gentleman disappeared— Valeria came to buy food, so she separated from her father who went to ask for help after entering the city.

Riddleburn didn't take this matter seriously, but he praised his daughter's behavior and thought that the gentleman had said it well, and that the quality of the daughter was more dazzling than the silver-glossy card.

But what he didn't expect was that in the middle of the night, while he was still too troubled to sleep, Valeria ran into his bedroom excitedly, took his hand and told an unbelievable story. .

She said that she was taken by the card to a strange place that could not be described clearly in words, where she saw the gentleman who dropped the card again.

The other party claimed to be Doctor Strange, saying that the person who got his card and came to his mysterious residence could get an answer to any question from him if he could.

Valeria was shocked by the scene there, even if the mysterious gentleman's tone was very gentle from beginning to end, she was still very nervous...

However, as the father's most beloved daughter, she knows what problems her father is currently plagued by, so she asked how to cure the unicorn without thinking.

After "Doctor Strange" asked about the symptoms of the sheep in detail, he quickly gave a solution: a way to configure the medicine.

After Valeria confirmed that she had written down the formula of the potion, she woke up abruptly.

At first, Valeria only thought it was just a dream, but soon she found that the card on hand had disappeared.

Therefore, Valeria, who completely believed that she had an adventure, came to her parents' bedroom excitedly and woke her father up.

Riddle was half-believing in his daughter's words, and felt that what she said was too unbelievable...If he knew that his daughter never lied, he wouldn't even have "half-believing".

But after listening to the formula, I found that the herbs in it were not hard to find, and thinking of the dying unicorns in his ranch, Riddle finally decided to "dead sheep as a living sheep doctor" and try the effect. .

He found all the herbs he needed overnight, and when the sun was about to rise from the horizon, he fed the medicine to several sheep that were about to die of illness.

The sheep hadn't changed much at first, and Riddle was very disappointed at one point, thinking that he was really stupid, so he was busy in the middle of the night to believe in a prescription of unknown origin.

But about an hour later, the sheep that drank the medicine suddenly changed from the lack of appetite before, and took the initiative to eat the feed, and one of them could even stand up swayingly.

This scene made Riddle overjoyed. He quickly formulated all the remaining herbs into potions and fed them to the sheep with mild symptoms. As a result, they were healed in less than half a day!

At this time, Riddle really believed that his daughter really had an "adventure", so he took her into the city again, trying to find the "Doctor Strange" whom Valeria had met... Unfortunately, he didn't find it.

At the same time, a person in the city who picked up the card or didn't know it had solved the problem that was bothering him this night.

Among them are scholars, who suddenly became clear about a problem; some girls who did not want to accept their parents' marriage arrangements got a practical plan of resistance and started to implement them; there was a drunkard who died inexplicably because of his family, he changed this night completely. , Embarked on the road of revenge...

Things haven't caused much disturbance at the beginning, but when more and more people discover that the knowledge gained in their dreams is really feasible, the secret will no longer be difficult to keep, after all, many "changes" are visible to the naked eye.

Therefore, the name of "Doctor Strange" spread like wildfire, spreading in the city of Gulain...

This naturally attracted the attention of the "night watchers" and "punishers" in the city.

And a civilian from the Night Watcher team also picked up the card, but she didn't see "Doctor Strange" last night, but the card disappeared after she woke up.

Because of the terrible events in the past, the civilian did not dare to neglect, and immediately reported it to Tina Inkas, the captain of the "Night Watcher" team in Gurain City.

...

Left ear area, No. 11 Earlobe Street.

In a conference room underground of the "Lord of the Storm" church, night watchers and punishers gathered together to discuss this sudden incident last night.

A middle-aged night watchman stood up, opened the preliminary investigation report, and introduced to everyone present:

"Case 1: The healing event of the unicorn sheep of the rancher Riddle's family... In the end, the condition of the sheep who got the disease has improved, and no 'depraved' or 'evil' aura is found. The medicine formula provided is also pure herbal medicine. No extraordinary effects are involved.

"Case 2: Engineer Zera's new design idea... In the end, the production efficiency of Zera's factory has increased by 10%, and the cost has been saved by a quarter... Zera's salary has therefore doubled... Nothing extraordinary intervention.

"Case 3: The drunk old Tony incident... The death of Tony's family was determined to be an accident. We have also confirmed this matter... But the "Doctor Strange" gave an "instigator" the "reasoning" of the crime, logic Strictly, and Tony found decisive evidence based on the other party's prompt after he was sober...We have decided to restart the investigation of this case.

"Case 4...

"Case 5...

"Case 6, the incident of Ax appraising the potion formula from the Baron... Ax obtained the potion formula of the 'Claror' from the Baron in the hands of the 'Doctor Strange', and it was later verified that the formula was true and effective...

"Case 7: Susanna's not being summoned... After picking up the card, Susanna, a civil servant of the night watcher, did not enter the so-called "dwelling" of "Doctor Strange". The other party seems to be deliberately avoiding the guards of the righteous god."

"To sum up, first of all, the 'Doctor Strange' who appeared suddenly will 'summon' the person holding his card to the so-called 'dwelling' through a dream, and will answer a question from the other party... But so far, there has been no He couldn't answer.

"Secondly, the spread of the card is only a city in Gulain, and not everyone who gets the card will be 'summoned' by him... and no matter whether it is summoned or not, the card will disappear before dawn. The specific reason is unknown. survey.

"Finally, although he has not yet caused harm to ordinary people, he is unpredictable. This kind of behavior is very dangerous and must be stopped, otherwise it may lead to major disasters."

After the night watcher finished the report, the others whispered for a while, and soon found the entry point for the investigation:

"Only in Gurain and it appeared suddenly... Then the Extraordinary codenamed 'Doctor Strange' was probably coming to this city by boat recently... We can record from hotel customers, Let's check the rental records!"

Everyone has no objection to this. In the absence of a clue, this is the most practical and effective method.

...

Byam, aromatic manor.

Abner, who was chanted by the night watchers and punishments by the Gula, just got up from his bed. He recalled the "harvest" of last night, and his face couldn't help but smile.

The essence of "playing" of "both scholar" really lies in the word "bo". This is not just "erudition" in the mystery field, but should cover all aspects...and "use what you have learned" to help others solve problems. Give others a "learned" knowledge of yourself.

This should be the most important part of the "Polymajor" rule of play.

Vol 2 Chapter 467: Week 1

Dong Bailang, "gambling city" Alle Se.

The black "Black Death" did not fly its iconic skull banner with blue flames burning in its eye sockets, and quietly drove into a private military port.

"Lieutenant General" Tracy, who only wore a white linen shirt on his upper body, looked at the land getting closer and closer, and finally relaxed on his slightly tired face.

She looked at the military colonel wearing a golden mask standing on the deck not far away, and asked again in a solemn tone: "What do you want me to transport? How come there are so many 'Rose School' People intercepted?"

The man wearing the golden mask shook his head regretfully and said: "You asked very directly this time, don't try to 'charm' me like before... But my answer is still the same as before... I'm hungry, don't you know if that is? what."

"But I paid more than 20 crew members and two cadres for this...You can't let them die unclearly." Tracy said with a smile, but a pair of blue eyes seemed to accumulate a storm. Ocean.

The man in the golden mask seemed to perceive the danger hidden under the temptation of Tracy. He didn't answer her words and started talking about another thing: "I remember you asked me to inquire about Elaine'Red Hair'. Didn't hide in the Storm Church?"

Tracy squinted her eyes when she heard the words, and the various "diseases" that had emanated lost their source and failed to continue to work.

"Have you found Elaine's whereabouts?" Tracy asked in a slightly hoarse voice.

Although this man has always been on his own ship, the military has many means of communicating information and can always get the latest information.

It can be said that the "Black Death" can successfully reach the Southern Continent in the attacks of the "Rose School".

"Unfortunately, we didn't find out where the lady is... We can only make sure that she didn't enter the Storm Church for asylum, nor left Bayam..."

Having said this, his eyes were aimed at the faint scenery that was hidden by the other's long hair, he swallowed, and then said, "However, our intelligence officers found a piece of news... Elaine has an elder friend. It's the military attache of Intis's consulate in Bayam."

"That is to say... Elaine might be hiding in the Intis Consulate? And want to find an opportunity to return to the Northern Continent?" Tracy said thoughtfully.

The man wearing the golden mask only smiled and did not speak any more. He just provided information according to the agreement. As for whether the matter is really as the "lieutenant general" guessed, he can't guarantee.

At this time, the ship has landed, and the pirates who have gone through many days of sailing and cruel fighting have long reached the limit of patience, and can't wait to go to this famous "gaming city" in the southern continent to vent.

— Inside the Kingdom of Ruen, casinos are not allowed and can only be attached to bars in the form of rooms. However, in the kingdom's vast overseas colonies, it is not only legal, but also a pillar industry. Among them, East Balang's Allerther is the most famous, and many rich people from Backlund and the coast of the sea will even come here to gamble.

Regarding this, "Lieutenant General" Tracy did not stop her. She watched the colonel of MI9 carrying a box after the crew got off the ship after the crew, and she stood alone on the deck, as if I was talking to myself, but the wording was asking someone like: "What do you think the military transported to the southern continent?"

"Although I don't know what they transported...but there must be nothing on your ship, only the high air of an empty shell." A soft female voice suddenly sounded around Tracy.

"So... I was actually the decoy they chose? That colonel was playing with me from start to finish?" Tracy asked with a dazed and aggrieved expression.

"I'm glad you can recognize your 'stupidity'... However, he shouldn't tease you. After all, he has a high probability of not knowing himself but has acted as a 'bait' role." A figure slowly outlined in the "lieutenant general disease". To the side of Tracy, she is wearing a simple and holy white robe, with high openings on both sides, revealing a pair of flawless legs, her complexion is snowy and tender as a girl.

This woman has black hair and blue eyes, is pure and beautiful, and has an indescribable charm. She is Tracy's mother, Catalina, "The Immortal Witch".

The witch, who has lived for at least 1400 years, smiled and said: "What? Not reconciled? Then I can take you to follow them and see what they want to do... It just so happens that I am also very curious."

Tracy was a little moved when she heard the words, but after thinking about it for a moment, she shook her head and said: "Forget it...I have to rush back to Byam as soon as possible to get Elain back..."

After hearing this, Katerina showed a small smile on her face, and said: "Elaine is not in the Intis consulate."

"How do you know?" Tracy was surprised at first, but then she woke up, her expression condensed, and she blurted out and asked:

"Elaine can escape because of you..."

"I just gave it a handy push..." Catalina smiled slightly and said meaningfully, "She now lives with a young gentleman, and that person is very strong, and you probably won't be able to beat it.

"Moreover, there is a strong shelter behind him. Even I dare not get too close to that manor."

Tracy heard her facial muscles twitch, and twisted and said, "Who is he? Where is she?"

"After following the military's actions with me, I will consider whether to tell you or not." Katerina turned around and said in a soft voice.

"Okay!" Tracy replied without hesitation, but her mood was a little low, and she seemed to hide a trace of pain.

Because she could not accept Elaine's betrayal.

Pain, the more painful, the more you can feel your own weakness. When the pain is extreme, the desire to change yourself will be strong enough to help you withstand the potion, gain divinity in the ritual, and become a demigod...

Catalina glanced at her daughter with a faint smile, then her figure disappeared little by little, leaving only a erratic voice: "I will come to you again tonight."

…

On the sea near Caesars Port in West Belam, a little bit of bright stars sprinkled and landed, forming a long transparent bridge, starting from a huge sailing deck, and extending to an unmanned cliff on the shore. superior.

Jane, wearing a black robe, waved to Cattleya, Frank, Nina and others on the deck, and then stepped on the starlight, all the way to the shore.

"The next step is to find a guide... After all, I don't know how to get to the Pass Valley... even if I have a map in hand."

After muttering to herself, Jane summoned several wandering spirits nearby. After some "friendly" communication, they agreed to become "guides." Also quite considerate without receiving payment.

…

Niusimos Island is a small island with an area of only 25 square kilometers in the southern section of the violent sea.

This island was originally uninhabited, and even savages did not exist, but because of the opening of the new route, as the first piece of land encountered by ships leaving the violent sea, it has the value of being developed.

Therefore, a port town with a permanent population of 3,000 has been established here, with complete supporting facilities such as docks, steam factories, bars, hotels, casinos, brothels, etc., which can provide a full range of services to sailing ships— Of course, the price is not cheap...

The Navy Class 1 sailing warship that Hugh Dilcha was aboard is now docked at the pier of this small island.

In view of the previous continuous battles, the damage of the ship was in urgent need of repair, so the captain decided to fix it here for a day before sailing to Gurain City.

The navy soldiers were extremely supportive of this order, and soon went to entertain the ship in twos and threes.

Because there was a Tarot meeting in the afternoon, it was not convenient to participate on the ship, and the person who originally wanted to take a leave of absence changed his mind because the battleship docked.

After asking for instructions from Her Royal Highness, she successfully entered the small town on the island and opened a room in the hotel, took out the Roselle diary she had collected, and "reviewed" it again, so as not to be in the dust. There is an error above the fog.

…

At the same time, Abner, who is in the Aroma Manor of Bayam, is also waiting for the arrival at 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

Vol 2 Chapter 468: Daily Brain Supplement of the Tarot Society

"Although I still have two pages of Mr. Surrey's 'Roselle Diary' that I haven't submitted, this time I will not give Klein anymore... lest he leave the impression that I have a diary every time...

"In addition, before Hugh, I asked Mr. Fool's favored one for help, and owed ten pages of diary all at once... Although she seemed confident about collecting the diary, it would be better for me to leave a few pages for her emergency... , Anyway, it's not very important. It doesn't matter if Klein reads it a few weeks early and a few weeks later."

Abner sitting on the bed in the bedroom just thought of this, the hand of the wall clock pointed to three o'clock, and he once again saw the illusory crimson light flooding himself.

The boundless grey mist filled my feet as always, and the long bronze table in front of him was mottled with rust green but not decayed. Abner, who was transformed into Mr. Tower, looked at the "Justice" and "Magic" sitting on the opposite side. , "Trial" the three ladies, found that Xio's spirit seemed a little tired, but Forsi was sneaking at Xiu beside her.

As for Miss "Justice", she stood up as usual, and with a familiar, brisk voice, she led a group of members to the "mysterious" and "stalwart" figure to greet:

"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool~"

"good afternoon…"

Klein, who was shrouded in the gray mist, nodded lightly, and seemed to respond leisurely to the greetings of Miss Justice and other members, but he was actually busy manipulating the "world" to make him act like a real person.

Yesterday, after reading Miss Harouer's letter and conducting divination, it was already dinner time. Klein did not go out to eat anymore, instead he made a beef bone radish soup by himself, which was also served with steamed rice—rice. The staple food with Disy's characteristics was originally bought by Emlyn, who prepared medicine for Mrs. Doris a few days ago, but the vampire said that the Feneport Plateau specialty peppers that were paired in the soup were not in the aesthetic realm of the blood family. inside…

Although it is really hard to imagine a vampire eating chili peppers, Emlyn really has no good mouth... Just when Klein was a little distracted, Audrey the "Justice" who had greeted everyone after greeted everyone with curiosity and excitement. Anxious to ask what is the truth behind the Karpin incident.

She heard her father talk about it on the second day of the incident, and learned that Kapin's body was covered with tarot cards. It was probably a favored one of the "Fool", or other towers. Members of the Luo Society did it.

It's a pity that Kongs is still on vacation at home, and it seems that he won't be able to return to MI9 next week...I can't get news from him...

After sighing regretfully, Audrey looked around and observed the status of the other members.

As a "mind reader", she quickly discovered some anomalies:

Hey, "The Sun" is very anxious, what happened to the former leader of the exploration team? Met Amon?

Also, Forsi is in a state of wanting to ask but not daring to ask, just like me... But why is it secretly looking at the "trial"?

She should have seen the newspaper and guessed from the tarot card that Cappin's death is what our Tarot would do, but she wondered who the "Emperor" card represents... Wait, does she suspect that Miss "Judge" is the one" Rogue "The Black Emperor?"

Well, although Cappin's body is indeed covered with a "trial" card... But if she really did, what would the "emperor" represent? Mr. "Tower"? Not very similar...

And I can feel some entanglement in Forsi's emotions, like the state before reaching out to someone who is not familiar... Forsi, has she discovered the true identity of Miss Judgement?

Miss "Trial" is a middle-level senior member of MI9, and Xiu seems to be a peripheral member of this special department of the military... Is it Xiu's boss?

Thinking of this, Audrey "Justice" observed Miss "Trial" again and found that she was wearing a navy uniform this time. Although she couldn't see her face, she looked brave and heroic, completely different from the image of the previous lady.

But she was a little tired, like a state of relaxation after being extremely nervous... Is this just going through the battle?

Thinking like this in her heart, Audrey turned her gaze to the men's side again.

Mr. "The Hanged Man" is in a good mood. He seems to be looking forward to something... Is this the main material for the material of the "Winner"? Or something good happened?

Mr. "World" still looks somber and introverted. It is difficult to read his current thoughts. He is really the nemesis of the "audience" approach...

Derrick "The Sun" did not conceal his anxious mood, but he did not directly consult the members of the Tarot Society.

Mr. "Tower" is still as quiet as ever, like a wise man with insight into the world, watching everything at the Tarot meeting...but every time there is a faint joy hidden in his heart... Is this his disguise for the "audience"?

At this time, "Judge" Xiu took the lead to get up and respectfully said: "Mr. Fool, thank you for your help in the previous matter. I brought three pages of diary this time, and the remaining seven pages will be dedicated to the follow-up meeting. you."

"Very good." Klein nodded in satisfaction, and then helped Xio to present the diary.

What happened before? what's up? Did "Trial" ask the "Fool" for help in private? Could it be the Karpin incident? Was she disguised as the "Black Emperor" with the help of the "Fool" and was not found out? Or did the "Fool" send the "Rogue Black Emperor" to help her?

These questions arose in the hearts of Audrey and Forsi at the same time.

Although "The Hanged Man" Alger also had some guesses, he didn't think deeply. He also looked up and said humbly:

"Dear Mr. Fool, I also collected two new pages of Roselle's diary."

One page less than the original? Um, that page seems to be "garbled", and because I have submitted several similar "garbled" before, I asked Klein to teach the Chinese meaning of dates and numbers in advance...so it can be regarded as a bit of "butterfly effect" caused by me. Come on...

Abner looked at this scene and nodded thoughtfully.

Klein responded with a smile:

"What do you want to trade them for?"

Glancing at the card covered by Mr. "Fool", Alger "The Hanged Man" suppressed his eagerness:

"I want to know what the card next to you is.

"Well, apply for a separate exchange."

He has no spirit of selfless dedication.

The request of "The Hanged Man" did not go beyond Klein's expectations. For him, it was the easiest kind to complete, so he chuckled:

"Can."

He smiled and blocked the senses of the rest of the members, which made Miss Justice very wronged. She was waiting to see the surprised and shocked expression of Mr. "The Hanged Man", as if she had done an amazing thing, although not. Will take the initiative to publicize, but I am looking forward to the reaction of others when they know.

When Abner saw this, he was a bit reflective. Compared with Audrey and Alger, is his reaction to the "Card of Blasphemy" a little too cold, or should I "write" a few pages of diary applications next time and take a look?

He was thinking wildly. Klein had already lifted the shield, and the "hanged man" Alger, who was still left with shock, joy, and yearning, made the "justice" lady who "read" these emotions satisfied and pleased. Wave.

But she quickly restrained herself, and at the same time radiated thoughts in her heart: "The satisfaction and joy I just had just now seems to be the same emotion that Mr. "Tower" pretended at the Tarot meeting..."

Klein, who guessed Miss Justice's thoughts through emotions, shook his head a little bit amused, and then let the five pages of tawny parchment handed in by The Trial and The Hanged Man into his hands.

He lowered his head, seemingly casual, but actually read carefully.

The two-page diary of "The Hanged Man" recorded the "pre" content of Roselle's "Abyss Expedition" he had read before, telling that the "Great Navigator Roselle" got the "Black Throne" No." and set sail to find the West Continent in the depths of the Misty Sea.

"The time of this diary should be after Roselle rejected the suggestion of Viscount Karen and questioned the exploration of the depths of the sea of mist, before he brought back the egg that hatched the demon Jadabao from the abyss...

"At that time, he may not be thirty years old, did not reach the high sequence.

"Hehe, the emperor was really reckless when he was young. Just relying on a treasure map that doesn't know whether it's true or not, and doesn't know what danger is hidden, he dared to go out to sea... The card of blasphemy, "Take trouble to the gods is proof..."

Klein couldn't help but muffled a few words, put down these two pages of parchment, and picked up the diary handed in by Miss Judge.

Hmm...Two of the three pages I have read before...but the repetition is inevitable. Firstly, the members have not read the diaries submitted by other people, and secondly, I can't really teach them Chinese...

Fortunately, the contents of the diary on the third page are somewhat interesting.

"On March 15th, I gave Karen a newly crafted extraordinary weapon and officially canonized him as a Viscount."

Vol 2 Chapter 469: "The World" Commission

"The name of that extraordinary weapon is 'Golden Snake Sword'. I made this name when I saw its appearance after it was built... Well, should I create another 'Golden Snake Treasure' for it? ?

"I just realized that today is March 15th... Hehe, I made a 'fake' on March 15... Sometimes things in this world are so strange.

"Unfortunately, the only guy who can understand these stalks is gone... He must be hiding from me, otherwise I can't find..."

Golden Snake Sword? Great Emperor, you really know how to play... But the guy who can understand the Great Emperor's stem refers to Liu Bo, right? He has already left Roselle's side by this time? Well, the emperor was able to confer a knighthood, mostly after he became Caesar. According to the information provided by Mr. "Tower", the "Seal of Disaster" did disappear around this time...

Did Liu Bo clashed with the emperor, or did he reincarnate again? Or... he feels no longer safe with Roselle?

Klein had various thoughts in his mind, and it took about a minute before he read the following again:

"On March 16th, after a night of thinking, I decided to seal up the 'Black Throne' and some other interesting things as a treasure, and then use the 'Golden Snake Sword' as the 'key' to unlock the treasure!

"Hehe, with Karen's character, if I know that I have specially created a sword to reward him, I might be suspicious, and then seal the sword... Isn't that a lot of fun?

"So, I used the angel's authority to seal most of the sword's abilities, even the blood demigod, don't even want to see the details, and then tell Karen that it is a defective product made when I was young... , He will probably lend it to his offspring to use it in the future.

"Karen was unwilling to board the'Black Throne' and follow me to explore the Misty Sea. Then I will hide the ship and treasure in the Misty Sea, but see if his descendants will come to me with a sword. Under the treasure.

"Hey, speaking of it, Karen and I were so close in the past, how did they become so alienated to this point?"

Need to talk about it? When you truly become a superior, after becoming a great archon, emperor, and even Caesar, your mentality must have changed, and you can't tolerate others' rebellious behavior against you...not to mention, you still count others' descendants like this...

However, the emperor may also want to find Liu Bo in this way. After all, from the previous diary, the Viscount Karen is probably the descendant of Liu Bo when he was the blood duke Rhein Karendia.

Klein sighed, calmed down, and made the diary disappear into his hands.

"You can start now." Sitting at the top of the long bronze table, he chuckled lightly.

After finishing speaking, he immediately manipulated the "world" and raised his hand: "Mr. Fool, I want to apply to communicate with Mr. Tower alone."

"Yes." "The Fool" first nodded slightly, then looked in the direction of "Tower", and added, "But you need to get permission."

Abner was taken aback when he heard the words, and while recalling the plot of the original, he thought about what Klein was looking for, and soon he had a few speculations in his heart...

He pondered for a few seconds, nodded and said, "I have no opinion."

After hearing his response, "The Fool" knocked on the edge of the old long bronze table, and the rest of the senses were immediately blocked.

"World" asked dumbly: "Mr.'Tower', a favored one of Mr. Fool wants to entrust you with one thing... Repayment is the extraordinary characteristic of'Judge'."

"A favored one"...? Isn't it you? However, the "judge" characteristic is a good thing, worth at least four or five thousand pounds, and there is no market in price...what is it that makes Klein so willing?

After spitting out a few words, Abner thought for a while, and asked cautiously: "The 'favorite'? Is that the 'Rogue Thief' the black emperor?"

Klein was not surprised that Mr. "Tower" was able to guess. First, the other party only met with the "Rogue" Black Emperor not long ago; secondly, he used the characteristics of a "judge" as a reward. NS.

"Yes, that's the adult..." "World" nodded.

"What does he want to entrust me to?" Abner frowned and asked again. It is certainly not simple to make Klein "pluck his hair". It is likely to involve angels, "0"-level sealed artifacts, or even true gods and old days.

Of course, every time Klein makes money, he often encounters these things.

"That adult wants you to ask "Iron Man" two things:

"One is, who is behind the 'witch' Lina.

"Secondly, how much does he know about the sealed item '0-08'."

"iron Man"? When the "Rogue" Black Emperor asked me last time, he seemed to be very interested in Dunn's new identity... But why did he pay attention to Lina again? Behind this witch seems to be very complicated, I feel that many existences have used her as a pawn... At least I can be sure that there is a "psychological alchemy."

But asking the "Iron Man" about this is the right person. Even if Dunn doesn't know, the "lazy" lady who has been with him must know something.

As for the sealed artifact "0-08", for Klein who is still in Backlund, the more he understands it, the more dangerous it is...

Thinking of this, Abner tactfully refused: "I'm in the Southern Continent now, and I won't see him 'Iron Man' in a short time..."

Before he could finish speaking, "World" interrupted with a smile: "The favored man is not in a hurry. As long as you can tell him the result within three months, the commission will be completed."

After all, it's useless even if I know it early. I don't have the power to seek revenge from Ince He paused, and then said: "In addition, the'judge' feature can be paid to you first... if you three If the commission is not completed after a month, he will need to pay him the equivalent items or gold pounds."

Huh? The conditions are very loose...In this case, the mission can be followed. Anyway, my original plan was to go to Dunn and Miss "Lazy" after hunting the "Finx Lion"... After all, I was promoted to Sequence 5 I'm afraid I'll have to ask the latter for help.

After his thoughts were flashing, Abner smiled and said: "In this case, I will take this commission..."

Looking back to ask Xiu if she still needs this feature, if she doesn't want it, I will make it a magical item.

After the two reached an agreement, the private chat ended.

Although the people who had restored their senses were curious about what deal they had reached, they had no meaning to explore. After all, these two are likely to be the strongest in the Tarot Society except the "Fools".

At this moment. "The Hanged Man" Alger turned his head to look at the "sun" and asked indifferently:

"Did you inquire anything from the former leader of the exploration team?"

"Sun" answered honestly:

"He is actually a clone of Amon...

"he died!"

Vol 2 Chapter 470: Acting improvement

"Amon's clone?"

"died?"

"Justice, "The Hanged Man", "Magic" and even "Trial" all showed a surprised look. After all, this incident was too coincidental. He did not die sooner or later, but it was only after the "Sun" was imprisoned in the dungeon. Die...

There is only me, the mysterious and powerful "Fool", and the somber and introverted "world". The "tower" that always maintains the illusion of "pleasure" is as usual. Klein, who was sitting at the top and observing everything silently, thought so.

"The Sun" Derrick sees that everyone attaches so much importance to this matter. He did not hide the fact that he originally wanted to ask for help. He told a detailed account of what he had experienced last week, and demonstrated Amon's Phantom. Image.

—It was a young man wearing a black classical robe, a pointed soft hat of the same color, a crystal monocle on his right eye, a wide forehead, a thin face, black eyes and dark curly hair.

When "The Sun" talked about the former captain of Amon who suddenly appeared behind him, the ladies were both frightened and excited. Especially Fors, she is already preparing to write this passage into a new novel.

"The general who returned from the enemy camp suddenly appeared behind the original wife who was preparing for the wedding with a face ruined by the torture... It was so sensible."

Just as Forsi's mind flashed one after another taboo-level pictures, "The Hanged Man" Alger suddenly frowned and asked:

"After you experienced such a weird incident, the chief who rescued you just let you go home? And when you got home and didn't do anything else, you started praying to Mr. Fool?"

"Yes." "The Sun" Derrick replied slightly blankly.

Is there any problem with this? He found the attitude of Mr. "The Hanged Man" rather weird.

"Magic" Forsi covered her face when she heard it, and only felt that "Sun" was as careless as she was when she first became an Extraordinary, but at the cost of consuming a "stone" on the bracelet, and since then suffered the curse of the full moon.

"Judge" Xio looked at Abner diagonally, and felt that he was more cautious than "Sun" a few months ago... But it's not surprising that they all have Mr. Fool behind their backs, and they didn't. It must be as cautious as a wild extraordinary.

And Abner didn't think there was anything wrong with him at that time. After all, he had already figured it out later. Some of his actions at the beginning of his arrival were definitely disturbed, and he "instinctively" chose the actions that were most beneficial to him. Policy... Even though those actions seem reckless to outsiders, they are actually the most stable.

This influence should come from the high sequence ability of the "reader" approach, with the shadow of the "prophet" ability... So he guessed that it was not because he had weak grasp of the "pure white eye" at that time and was affected by it. The influence of the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom" is behind the scenes.

Through later observations, the former may be more likely... After all, such interference is rooted in the "reader" approach, but there will always be traces. The "God of Knowledge and Wisdom" seems to seldom use this method.

Of course, it is also possible that even the "White Eye" is the handwriting of the God of Knowledge... But from Lilith's attitude towards herself, it doesn't look like...

While Abner's thoughts were flying, Derrick finally realized where he was under the prompts of "The Hanged Man" Alger, such as "The chief will suspect you are possessed" and "Leave you alone for secret surveillance" When he did something wrong, he glanced at Mr. Fool worriedly. Seeing that he still had nothing to say, he reluctantly relaxed and explained:

"I was indeed possessed by Amon..."

"What?" "The Hanged Man" Alger blurted out.

He almost left his seat and assumed a fighting stance to prevent accidents.

was taken aback by the reaction of Mr. "The Hanged Man", "Sun" said hurriedly:

"This was discovered by Mr. Fool, in my prayers."

While speaking, he showed the image passed by Mr. Fool at the time: Amon, wearing a black pointed soft hat and monocle crystal glasses, was imaginatively wrapped around his spiritual body, like the ghost of a python.

Then, in the eyes of a group of members who were surprised, or scared, or quiet, or having fun, they said the matter of "Mr. Fool" sending angels to purify the clone.

"The Sun" Derrick is not a storyteller, but even if his words are extremely simple, his tone is not fluctuating, but the content revealed in his words still shocked the "Upside down Man" and almost lost his attitude, making "justice". "The brain "short-circuited" for nearly a minute before it realized what he was saying.

Of course, Alger "The Hanged Man" quickly controlled himself and lowered his head respectfully. His heart was both frightened and inexplicably excited, so that his body trembled slightly.

And Audrey "Justice" was completely excited after trying to understand the meaning of "angel", her eyes gleamed, and she subconsciously looked around.

It turns out that the "magician" and "judgement" were not surprised by this, as if they had seen it before. She knew that she had also "read" the other side's description of the angel from Fors's shallow consciousness: "Pink wings. , Twelve pairs of wings"

Forsi and the Miss Judgement have seen an angel serving Mr. Fool?

She looked at the man again, and then, not surprisingly, saw Mr. "Tower" who was always "happy", and the little "Sun" that she took for granted.

"As a result, it was only me and Mr. "The Hanged Man" that the two Tarot Club "veterans" hadn't seen the angel?"

Just as Audrey felt wronged in her heart, she was inspired to find that Mr. World, who had always been gloomy, also sat upright in shock...

Although, Mr. World's reaction was slower than hers...but this somewhat comforted Audrey.

Mr. Fool's two-line operation is still a bit unskilled...Of course, it may also be that the "sun" spoke out the angel too suddenly, and Klein failed to prepare in advance...Well, I guess he just helped to wear it. Rick Gu was "suddenly attacked" after showing the image of "Amon ridden".

After watching the performance of "World", Abner pondered for a few seconds and said to Derrick: "You don't have to worry too much. If you don't hurt the mind and actions of Silver City, I think your chief will definitely be sure in a short time. No action...should be based on wait and see.

"I guess in his eyes, your situation is actually similar to that of the shepherd elder... He can let the other side act, and he shouldn't deliberately restrict you."

"Of course I won't hurt Silver City!" Derrick said loudly. But after finishing speaking, I felt that this behavior was very rude, and quickly apologized.

At this time, "The Hanged Man" Alger also nodded and said, "Mr. Tower makes a lot of sense... But before that, you still have to clear the suspicion of being possessed... If you are not you, There will be no more trust."

"How should I clear the suspicion?" Derrick the Sun asked blankly.

"I think I can use the 'worm of time' that you spit out." Abner said here, paused, and then asked, "Are the members who followed the elder shepherd's exploration of the ruins come back?"

"The Worm of Time"? The transparent object spit out by the "sun" in the video just now is the "worm of time" mentioned by Mr. "The Hanged Man" last time? The "Justice" and the "Magic" were surprised secretly, while seriously recalling what it looked like.

"The Hanged Man" Alger was also surprised. Although he knew the term "worm of time", he only understood it in general, and it was the first time he saw the real thing.

Hearing this question, Derrick remembered the question he wanted to ask at first, and hurriedly described the abnormal "normal" performance of several friends he had participated in the exploration. At the end, he asked a little nervously: "They were Is the fallen creator polluted?"

"The Hanged Man" Alger sighed, and said deliberately:

"There is no doubt... and just being contaminated is the best possibility.

"If they have believed in the truth from the bottom of their hearts, uh, 'fallen creator', then it's troublesome and can't be saved.

"However, this matter is used well, and it can indeed clear your suspicion of being possessed."

At this point, he took a look at "Tower", and the latter added with a smile: "I need an item related to the 'True Creator'."

"The Hanged Man" Alger was silent for several seconds before he said: "Yes, it would be more secure then."

Hearing the conversation between the two of them, not only "The Sun", but also the three ladies "Justice", "Magic" and "Judgement" were confused, and didn't understand what they were talking about.

Klein, who only has a lot of knowledge about the environment of Silver City and the "true creator" nodded thoughtfully, then manipulated the "world" and said, "I have something that contains the spiritual pollution of the true creator. Items, but after sensing his breath, most of the team members will lose control on the spot.

"But, kid, I can lend you that item, but what can you pay as a reward?"

"I can help you collect one of the characteristics of human skin shadows, the brain abnormal pituitary of a thousand-faced hunter, and the blood of a thousand-faced hunter. Whichever, just use it as a reward."

"The Sun" Derrick's brain turned fast, but he still didn't want to understand what plans the "Hanged Man", "World" and "Tower" had. I couldn't help asking, "What am I going to do?"

Hearing his question, the three ladies invariably pricked their ears.

"The Hanged Man" looked sideways at "Tower" at this time, and noticed that the other party had made a please gesture, apparently giving him the job of explanation.

Regarding this, Alger did not refuse, and immediately started on-site teaching, step by step instructing "Sun" on how to "act" after returning. After all, if such a cheating guy dies, it will be difficult for him to get "God Abandoned" again. The information of the "land" and the secrets of ancient times...

While "Sun" listened carefully, the "acting skills" improved rapidly for a time-although it was limited to theory, it gradually had a complete plan and clarified several key points that needed attention.

Even Klein and Abner who were in the audience felt that they had benefited a lot.

As for Audrey, Hugh, and Forsi, they finally understood their plan, and for a while, I was a little annoyed that I hadn't thought of it.

Soon, the "sun" matter came to an end, "Judgement" Xiu raised his hand, and thoughtfully said:

"I have a chance to get the extraordinary characteristics of the "Winner"...but I need to bid."

After speaking, she cast her eyes on the "Hanged Man".
