Vol 2 Chapter 551: Negotiate terms

Seeing Closfia's smile, Abner inexplicably remembered Dunn's "shame" performance in "Dreamland" when he was in Enmat Port. He felt a little hairy in his heart, but he still pretended to be calm. Asked:

"Miss, what do you want me to do?"

Closfia glanced at him with a smile, threw the towel for drying her hair on the sofa aside, and then did not directly ask for it, but instead talked about another thing:

"After taking the magical potion of the occult instructor, your polymath's core ability has been qualitatively improved, and you are uncontrollably analyzing the essence of your extraordinary ability... This will inevitably be too deep, and it will remain in the extraordinary characteristics. Mental pollution.

"At this time, you need to be comforted to avoid the loss of control caused by mental pollution; you need to be shocked to make your spirit chaotic, so as to interfere with the impulse to explore the essence of the potion, and to avoid going deeper; finally, you need to hint to make you Do all kinds of behaviors that are contrary to your true will and make your spirit strongly resist, so as to wake you up and stop obsessing.

"The eyes are the window of the soul, so the gaze of the adult soul dragon itself contains these three abilities. If it cooperates with the heart, it is indeed the best choice for the ritual...

"And for an extraordinary person like me, it is not so convenient to use abilities. You need to adjust at any time according to your state. It is not so easy...

"Well, even fewer experienced people like me."

Abner thought at first that Closfia was explaining the principle of the promotion ceremony for "Secret Skills Instructor", but after hearing that, he gradually recollected and thought:

After going around for a long time, isn't it just exaggerating the difficulty and making it easier to raise the price?

It seems that the conditions that this "lazy" lady wants are not simple...

Although he was vigilant in his heart, Abner really couldn't find a more suitable candidate. Among the "audiences" he could reach, Miss Justice was still just a "mind reader", not to mention Emma's mother, Mrs. Norma. , The probability is only the "audience", as for Susie...

Shaking his head secretly, Abner took a deep breath to meet Closfia's smiling eyes:

"You can say anything, as long as I can do it, I will try my best to accomplish it."

If it is too much, I will go to the Harvest Church to file a complaint with Mother Earth.

Abner did not say the last sentence, although he felt that the other party should be able to "read" it.

Closfia glanced at him, frowned and said, "Intuitively, you seem to be thinking something impolite."

Huh? intuition? She did not "read the mind"? Is it because the Mother Earth is not good at using abilities on me, or is there any other reason?

Just as Abner was turning his thoughts, he heard Klosfia continue to say:

"I hope you and Dunn can perform a performance in the ruins near Indor, in full view, according to my preset script...

"Of course, the performance of the two of you... can also be said to be the character of Iron Man and Doctor Strange, and it must also conform to my second setting..."

So strict...It's not like acting, it's more like some kind of "ritual"!

Miss "Lazy" has always asked Dunn to play the "Iron Man" according to a certain "personality", I am afraid it is to strengthen his impression in people's subconsciousness and prepare for the final formal "ceremony"...

Although my "Doctor Strange" is not as well-known as Iron Man, because of Roselle's novels, as long as it appears, it will definitely leave a deep impression on people.

Our joint performance is more conducive to the "ceremony"? That's why Closfia offered this condition?

Wait... When I took Dunn to the Plenty Church in Enmat Harbor, when I first saw her, I used the image of "Doctor Strange".

Afterwards, she took advantage of the opportunity to treat Dunn's spirit to unexpectedly make the other party "debut" in a dream and become an "Iron Man"...

In addition, she should have known what the ritual of the "Secret Skill Instructor" was long ago...

So, she actually planned it a long time ago, right? Start planning from seeing my "Doctor Strange" image?

The "audience" approach is indeed the old "yin p"!

Thinking of this, Abner felt deeply that he was still too tender, and there was a gap with these saints in terms of playfulness, not to mention the angels and gods...

He glanced at Dunn and found that he was also a little surprised, but this accident shouldn't be aimed at himself, but in the unexpected "performance" there was a role of "Doctor Strange"... This is very clear from his deep gray eyes. It's easy to "read" it out.

If it is the usual Dunn, it is not so easy to see his thoughts, but now he is full of the desire to "interpret", but suffers from no good way of venting.

However, these ideas are obviously not suitable for confronting face to face, so after thinking for a while, Abner turned his attention to another important message revealed in the other party's words, and deliberately asked in doubt: "The ruins near Indo Port ?"

Could it be that they also came for the ruins that might have the skeleton of a demi-god dragon and the five-color brilliant stone? Did they get this news from other sources?

Closfia gave a chuckle, meaningfully and authentically:

"Don't pretend, you must have come to Induo for the ruins too, right? After all, according to the news I circulated, there are five-colored brilliant stones in there."

"Wait, did you spread the news about the ruins?" Abner was taken aback, and hurriedly asked despite the embarrassment of being dismantled.

To know that the ruins may involve Mr. Azik, I am afraid that the level is not low, if it attracts an official demigod, then there is nothing wrong with him.

"It seems that you didn't learn the information from the rumors I released..." Closfia was taken aback for a moment, and then organized the language, then smiled and said, "Don't get excited, I just released it in a small area. These rumors are just rumors, and they haven't revealed too much actual content. At most, they can attract some extraordinary people with low and medium sequences."

Having said that, she paused, and added: "If there are not enough audiences to enter, who will be shown the rivalry between Iron Man and Doctor Strange?"

It turned out to be like this...Such a risk is within my tolerance. After all, I am going to take Mr. Ards into the ruins.

While turning this thought, Abner tentatively said: "Before deciding whether to accept your condition...I want to know more information about this ruin..."

Hearing Abner's words, Closfia hadn't responded yet, Dunn couldn't help but start to "explain" when he hunted down a big businessman who killed the entire caravan and his family members in Winter County.

And Miss "Lazy" just looked at it with a smile, and didn't stop it. Obviously, she felt that there was nothing wrong with telling Abner.

Following Dunn's narration, Abner also learned more about the information about the ruins.

For example, the caravan that "Justice" said was strayed into the "remains" was actually on a "full moon" night, and their merchandise happened to contain night herbs, deep sleep flowers, etc., which helped to sleep. The herbal medicine will "enter" the ruins.

For example, the entrance of the "remains" should not be a fixed location, but appear in the sleep of some qualified people.

For example, the "dense fog" that the fishermen or the caravan says is not really fog, but the intersection of the collective subconscious sea and the ruins.

In fact, those people have entered the dream state a long time ago, but they don't know it, even after entering the mist, entering the ruins, and leaving the subconscious sea, they will wake up.

After all, ordinary people don't have the skills of "Dream Walker" or "Nightmare".

Dunn talked a lot, even the information that Ms. Closfia deliberately revealed, but it was basically the same as Miss "Lazy"'s previous words, and nothing that was revealed involved "demigod" content.

Of course, the problem of the entrance to that ruin was naturally not leaked. Otherwise, just by the way it exists, one would know that it is not simple.

But there is one thing that Dunn and Closfia didn't know that is that this ruin has a certain relationship with Mr. Azik...

So after thinking about it, Abner bargained and said: "Miss Closfia, I agree to your trading terms in principle... But I have to look at your script and character first... Besides, when going to the ruins , I want to bring a friend with..."

Hearing this, Dunn gave him a weird look, and said in his heart: He even brought friends...I'm afraid that his "dark history" won't spread...

But Closfia smiled and said: "What a cautious young man... well, I agree."

As she said, she stood up, took out a stack of papers from one of the desks, and handed them to Abner, "This does not conflict with the setting of the character you play, and the full moon is next Thursday, and there are ten days left. , You have to use this time to consolidate the image I set for you twice in people's hearts."

With that said, the "lazy" lady took out a suitcase from nowhere, pointed to it and said:

"Dun has a battle suit, and I can't favor one or the other, so I begged my husband to do another foam suit that fits Doctor Strange... Would you like to try it?"

If you hadn't premeditated, I would sell Mr. Fool to you, and let the thief "Black Emperor" come and "show" together!

Abner murmured in his heart, and while receiving the box and documents, he asked casually:

"By the way, Miss Closfia, have you helped several polymaths to be promoted to esoteric instructors?"

"Um... one." Closfia thought for a while and replied.

One still need to think? One is also called experienced?

I always feel like I've been pitted again...Forget it, let's take a look at what the so-called "second setting" is...

After defamation a lot, Abner first took out one from the stack of documents and stared at it.

Vol 2 Chapter 552: cloak

Soon, Abner raised his head, his face full of entanglement: "Miss Closfia... are you serious?"

He hadn't read the specific "script" yet, he only glanced at the other party's "Second Setting", and he saw a few "character lines" with a second degree of shame...

"It's exaggerated to make it easier for the 'character setting' to penetrate into the hearts of the people." Closfia said with a smile.

You dare to know that these lines are "exaggerated"! Abner murmured, then quickly flipped through the "script" at the back, and then heaved a sigh of relief.

Although the "plot" is old-fashioned and dogmatic, there is no plot that touches my bottom line anyway...

As for the "personal design"... Isn't it just that the lines are a little shameful, but they can also be accepted...

After all, what does the person lost by "Doctor Strange" have to do with Abner?

Well, even if Klein knows that "Doctor Strange" is Abner, don't I still have Liu Bo's vest?

After doing some mental building, Abner picked up the suitcase again and poured spirituality into it.

He had long seen that the suitcase was not a real box, but a disguise of some kind of alchemy creature.

Sure enough, with the spiritual indoctrination, the box quickly changed into a red cloak.

It seemed as if it had just woke up, stretched its "body", and then after turning around Abner a few times, it suddenly fell on him, adjusted its posture, and draped it on its shoulders.

Immediately afterwards, Abner was covered with a blue robe...This robe was darker than the one he was wearing, but it was lighter and had good defensive capabilities.

After opening the "white eyes", Abner communicated with the "spiritual body" in the cloak, and the other party sent a friendly response, and then "formally" signed a "contract" with him.

Seeing Abner's operation, Ms. Closfia was surprised: "You seem to be familiar with it... I don't need my introduction at all."

"I'm a 'Poly Scholar' and have the ability of an 'Appraiser'." Abner explained a little, although the actual situation was not what he said.

"Since you have signed a contract with it, it means that you have agreed to my trading terms?" Ms. Closfia asked with a smile.

"Yes, miss... I am willing to cooperate with your request for a'show'." Abner nodded, even thinking that he was actually making a lot of money!

Without mentioning the follow-up rituals, just the alchemy creature's following, it is not to lose face again!

Although Closfia did not say that it was given to herself, maybe it was only temporarily loaned, this cloak and robe is not a dead thing, but a real life. It is willing to follow itself. Unless it uses strong means, the other party is not good. Stop it?

"Very good." Closfia's eyes curled up. For her "ceremony", she didn't mind giving away some "alchemy lives" created by her husband.

After taking a look at Abner wearing the new "robes", Closfia nodded with satisfaction and exhorted:

"You need to use the new 'image' I gave you as soon as possible to appear in Indo Port several times to deepen the potential impression of outsiders... If you need any help, you can come to me...

"Well, Dunn and I will stay here until the full moon next Thursday. You can come here anytime.

"By the way, if you have time, you have to practice acting..."

Hearing this, Abner twitched the corner of his mouth and spit out the word "OK." After thinking about it, he asked: "Don't you need to make a 'contract'?"

"Do you believe me?" Closfia asked with a smile upon hearing this.

"Naturally believe it." Abner nodded without hesitation. The other party is a demigod trusted by the Mother Earth, so naturally he won't really come to pit someone who is favored by the Mother Earth God.

At least until Mother Earth's investment is rewarded... this point, when Abner was in Backlund, he came to the conclusion through many trials of Lilith... that **** has a very special attitude towards himself. Tolerance, it's not an exaggeration to say that you are the favored one of the other side's pet.

Perhaps, it is only slightly worse than the "Fool"'s love for the "world"...

"I also believe that you will not ruin your promise... Therefore, the 'contract' is not necessary..." Closfia smiled on the surface, but added in her heart: And the mother **** does not have the authority to notarize the contract... You rely on it. The mother god's favor dare to pray to other gods, but I dare not...

Seeing that Miss "Lazy" really didn't care, Abner did not hypocritically, and instead talked to the two of Closfia about the materials he hoped to get from the ruins.

In this regard, the two people had no objections, and promised to help Abner as much as possible.

After talking about this topic, Abner looked at Dunn again and asked: "Can I exchange that 'astrologer' extraordinary characteristic i? Well, what do you need?"

"I need the'spirit witch' potion formula." Dunn looked at Abner with faint gray eyes.

Dunn is already a "Requiem"... Abner nodded silently, confirming his previous guess, but when he heard the other party's offer, he still said tactfully: "The potion formula of Sequence 5 is worth at least 5,000 gold. pound."

The characteristics of Sequence 7 are the most expensive in their early 2000s.

Dunn nodded, indicating that he understood, and then took out another metal box from his pocket, opened it to Abner, and showed it to Abner: "This is the characteristic of the 'Bishop Rose'... If you can find the 'Spirit Witch' I can give it to you with the astrologer."

Bishop Rose? Isn't this the "Hulk" who protected Lanrwuth from the Aurora Society?

After turning this thought in his mind, Abner thought for a while and said: "I can ask you a question, but I am afraid it will be difficult to find it in a short time."

"It doesn't matter, I have just been promoted to'Requiem Master' not long ago, and it is still far from Sequence 5." Dunn said with a smile.

Well, Forsi is still far away from Sequence 7, and she probably doesn't have the money to buy Sequence 7 features, so she doesn't have to be too eager.

Thinking of this in his mind, Abner saw that everything that should be discussed was roughly finished, and he bid farewell to both Closfia. As for other questions, I'm afraid he will have to wait for him to go back and read the information.

Closfia did not hold back either, after saying goodbye politely. Let the opponent fly out of the villa through the window.

After rushing all the way, Abner, whose face was slightly pale, returned smoothly to the hot spring hotel in the mountains outside Indor.

He touched the red cloak that he rushed over, and sighed in his heart: I have to admit that it can fly much faster than the "flying" that he simulated! If I hadn't deliberately slowed it down, I would break through the "sound barrier"...

And "flying" is just one of the abilities of this cloak robe. As a "creature", its greatest ability is actually "learning"...

It can learn, cast and store some ritual magic such as the spiritual wall, and some illusions that can be used by ghosts.

Recalling the "Analysis" report of Pure White Eye, Abner turned it back into the mimicry of a suitcase and had to enter the underground wine cellar and return to Bayam with "Transportation".

But at this moment, he suddenly saw a huge bone messenger appear in front of him and handed a letter to himself.

Jane wrote back? Abner was overjoyed and unfolded the letter paper and read it.

After a while, he put down the letter and muttered to himself while pinching his chin:

"That lion is looking for me again? Or, it was actually going to follow me... and lost it?

"I do need its blood as an auxiliary material... but I can't help but guard... even if it is Roselle's pet...

"Well, just set the meeting place at Indo, and the time will be next Thursday... Anyway, it will take time to come by boat from the Southern Continent.

"When the time comes, I will call Mr. Azik to sit down, and I am not afraid of any tricks he will play."

With a certain plan in mind, Abner "borrowed" paper and pen from the hotel and wrote a reply.

Soon, the bone messenger who was nearly four meters away, clutching the letter paper, disappeared in front of Abner's eyes, and did not cause any abnormal changes to the hot spring hotel.

After that, Abner also returned to Bayam through the altar hidden in the wine cellar using the "teleport technique".

...

At noon on Tuesday, Hugh, who was in the nine strongholds in the plot, saw Her Royal Highness Vera who had just arrived in Bayam by boat.

After returning the transparent dagger composed of more than a dozen bright stars to the opponent, Xio hesitated for a moment, and told Dian Xian the hallucinations she had seen under the blood moon.

After listening to Xio's description, His Royal Highness Vera was silent for a while, then sighed and asked:

"Do you know why the Tamara family split?"

Vol 2 Chapter 553: The calculation behind

Why did the Tamara family split? Hugh pondered for a while, combining what she had seen in the hallucinations and the few words Abner had said, she was unsure:

"Is it because the path is different? Some people choose the path of 'apprentice', while others stick to the original path of the 'arbitrator' of the family?"

While speaking, Hugh thought of herself and Forsi, who were also an arbitrator and an apprentice. Sometimes things were really coincidences.

Her Royal Highness Vera nodded, shook her head, then cast her gaze to the busy dock outside the window, and sighed: "The differences in approach are only part of the reason, but they are not enough to split a united family and then kill each other..."

"Is that because of?" Xio asked curiously.

"It was because Tamara lost the protection of his ancestors at that time, the harsh living environment, the desire for strength, and the hatred of the six gods, so that the people of the two ways were connected with the evil gods in the same place...

"Tamara's final split is essentially a life-and-death contest between the believers of different evil gods."

His Royal Highness Vera in the uniform of a navy officer said this, and picked up the transparent dagger, and continued:

"So, even if it is made into an extraordinary item, the characteristics contained in it still have the influence of the evil god. When encountering a blood moon, people will get lost in the illusion and do irreparable things...

"When I first gave it to you, I didn't expect a blood moon to appear. This is my negligence... Fortunately, you are very lucky!"

When talking about the word "lucky", Her Highness Vera's tone seemed meaningful.

Hugh actually felt that the faucet burst in the bathroom was too coincidental. She also talked to Abner later, but the two of them couldn't find the reason after analyzing it for a long time.

In the end, Abner can only be attributed to the fact that she was indeed lucky, perhaps she was sheltered by the "king of yellow and black who is in charge of good luck". After all, she was in the "kingdom of God" of Mr. Fool at the time...

Of course, Abner was just talking about this last sentence in his heart.

While Xio recalled and thought about what excuses he should find to explain her "luck", Her Royal Highness directly skipped the topic, and the whole person's temperament also quietly changed, no longer appearing "vicissitudes", she Yang Raising his heroic eyebrows, he handed the dagger made up of a dozen bright stars back to Xio, and said:

"Our next mission may encounter a lot of danger. Take this 'Star Fang' to defend yourself first.

"If you encounter an enemy that you cannot contend, and I have no time to rescue, you just use its 'random teleport' to escape."

"It turns out it was called 'Star Fang'..." Hugh took the transparent dagger and asked with a solemn expression, "Did Baron Larry really defected? And, he is very dangerous?"

"It is not him that is dangerous, but the things that may exist in his hands... and the various Beyonders who are attracted by that thing." Vera explained, and then asked meaningfully, "As for whether he is true I defected, does that matter?"

Xio blinked, feeling that her brain was not enough, she didn't understand what His Highness was suggesting...

...

In the unknown underground space, a man dressed in a tuxedo, a large cloak, with extremely long toes, dressed out of touch with the current era, like a man who had lived for a hundred years along the paved road, came to a small house Before, he knocked on the door lightly and got a response quickly, so he pushed the door and walked in.

Sitting at the desk in the house is a slightly arrogant old man. He has a lot of silver threads in his black hair and no beard on his face. Seeing the man coming in, he nodded at him and asked: "Grove, things How's it going?"

The man named Grove smiled bitterly: "His Royal Highness, the arrangements have been made, and even Georgina and Test have been kept away...

"Hey, it's a pity that Mountbatten kid..."

"Only Georgina and Tester have no knowledge of the truth, so that they can conceal the various organizations that have reached out to the 9th Division of Military Affairs." The old man nodded slightly, and said indifferently: "As for Prince Mountbatten, he privately moved the South Continent. His actions were revealed to the Storm Church. The evidence for this matter is solid, and he deserves it... and it is not our own hands. If he is clever, he may not die, but he will lose the identity of the prince."

"Hey, who would have thought that what Daniel's **** left in the depths of the labyrinth is not a ticket to the 'Ghost Empire' at all, but the coordinates of the blood emperor's secret tomb where we are located...

"But other forces thought we got the clues of the'Ghost Empire,' and they are still trying their best to spy...but we can't explain what we got...

"Fortunately, Tyron, who saw the information directly, was disguised as Prince Mountbatten and killed him in time...

"Baron Larry cleverly left behind before Tyron opened the treasure chest... I don't know if he didn't see the contents of the treasure chest, if it weren't for the value of his being used, how could he run away with his arrangements? Got it!

"Now, as long as Baron Larry is caught by someone from other forces, he can point the finger at Mountbatten...

"And if the child is clever enough, he should immediately go to the Storm Church to seek refuge... If he is not clever enough, he will probably encounter a certain force or a certain force after the three demigods of Byam are transferred out. Personal assault...

"Hehe, when the time comes, the black pot that Daniel has clasped on our heads can be thrown out."

After hearing what he said, the old man smiled and handed him a piece of letter paper at hand and said: "Look at this, this is the latest news from Vera through the military channels. It is not true at all that came to Byam with her. The prince, the child is afraid that he would have run away long ago."

Grove picked up the letter paper and looked at it, and exclaimed, "As expected of the descendants of our Augustus family, they are very courageous... and Princess Vera has also grown up..."

Speaking of this, his gaze stopped at a strange thing that Vera specifically described, and he hesitated, "His Royal Highness, the seagull that has been on the boat with black eyes...?"

"As you think, it's probably a member of the Amon family." The old man chuckled lightly, and said, "I didn't expect those thieves to be interested in this matter... It's really a good person to bear this matter. ."

"However, when the Amon family members are watching, your Majesty's plan may have some twists and turns..." Grove frowned.

"Don't worry, if the Amons want to destroy your majesty's plan, someone will stop them." The old man didn't say much, just shook his head to Grove and warned, "You don't deliberately deal with Amon, there is nothing Meaning, but it will incur danger."

...

Aroma Manor, Abner put down the information that Closfia gave, and rubbed his forehead with some annoyance.

I don't know what kind of novels the "lazy" lady has read, and how she designed such a set of shameful actions for "Doctor Strange" and her second speech...

Moreover, "Doctor Strange" is also required to have some melancholic temperament... The melancholic temperament shouts out lines like "My eyes can see through everything in the world..." Is it really good?

After spitting out a few words, Abner snapped his fingers, and a suitcase at his feet immediately turned into a red cloak, flew over and "swallowed" the materials into the "body". Then, it turned into a portable one again. Box, back under the table.

After doing this, Abner got up and rang the bell, and asked Elaine who heard the sound to prepare the carriage, and went to the basement to bring up a whip.

Then, he took Elaine and rode a carriage to the "Red Theater"... the folk herbal medicine shop in the alley opposite.

Vol 2 Chapter 554: Darkwell and the whip of pleasure

In the folk herbal medicine shop in the alley opposite the Red Theater, as soon as Abner and Elaine entered, they saw an indigenous girl sitting in the courtyard holding a thick-skinned book opened, standing on her shoulders With a chubby owl.

That girl was Budi who had been treated by Abner in arriving at Kwell before. It was the girl who was buried by Klein and whose epitaph was "She is a Person" in the original work.

At this moment, Budi's figure is still thin and weak, but the original abscesses on his face and body have disappeared, leaving only a faint scar that has not been removed.

Abner glanced a little with his spiritual vision, and found that the girl's body was generally restored to health, except for malnutrition, there was nothing wrong with it.

"Darkwell looks unreliable, but he is qualified as a 'pharmacist'." Abner sighed in secret, then retracted his gaze and walked directly to the store.

Elaine, who was behind her, looked at the owl a few more times, because she had already seen that the girl was holding a whole book of "Apocalypse of the Night". She didn't think she knew that the native who had not received general education at first glance. The girl can read this book...

So, either she was pretending, or she was just a book shelf and an automatic page turning tool, and it was the owl who really read.

Just as Elaine was guessing in her heart, Abner had already tapped the counter heavily with his fingers, causing Darkwell, who was still asleep, to wake up suddenly.

Since it was still early at two o'clock in the afternoon, Darkwell's shop had almost no business.

The men who came to buy the medicine made from "mummy powder" almost always came at dusk, or even later.

"Big detective, it's you... it scared me." Darkwell first sat up straight, and stretched his waist after seeing who the person was.

"You seem to be tired." Abner took a look at his aura and found that there is no problem with his health, except that the color is slightly dim, but this is a normal manifestation of exhaustion.

The Fat Pharmacist showed a wretched smile and said, "I met a good guy at the Red Theater yesterday...So, you know."

As he said, he shook his waist, which almost saw its position.

lie! Although Abner is not an "audience", he who can imitate "mind reading" can't see that Darkwell is deliberately using trivial actions to divert his gaze, but he didn't delve into it. The created whip was placed on the counter and said, "This is the magic item you want."

Seeing the brown-black leather whip that was about one and a half meters long, "Fat Pharmacist" Darkwell's eyes lit up, he held it in his hand for a play, and then asked, "What power does it have?"

At the same time, the owl reading in the yard also froze.

"I call it the'Whip of Happiness'.

"You have tried it just now. It is very light and has almost no weight, but it can be used to attach a random 'curse' to people, which can effectively weaken the stamina and mobility of the whip.

"In addition, it is very tough and has a good armor-breaking ability. Normal iron armor can be broken with one blow. You must know that the flintlock musket is just this powerful."

"Then why don't I just use a gun?" Although he said so, Darkwell was actually quite satisfied with this weapon. It's worth one or two hundred pounds, and it's very profitable to be able to trade for such a weapon.

"But why is it called the 'Whip of Happiness'? Where is happiness? Does smoking bring refreshment?" As he said, Darkwell looked over the open door and looked at the owl in the courtyard. .

The latter immediately turned around, as if reading the book in Budi's hands carefully.

It's just that the trembling claws still exposed its guilty conscience.

"Mr. Harry...Mr. Darkwell is a good man and won't hit you..." Budi whispered comfortingly, feeling the trembling of the owl.

Owl glanced at her and said to her heart: Little girl, you don't understand, it's not a day or two that the guy wants to beat me... No, I have to learn some self-protection methods.

On the other hand, after hearing Dakwell's question, Abner hesitated and explained: "Because after it draws an enemy, there is a 10% probability that it will give the opponent the ultimate 'happy' feeling... this... …This should also be a kind of curse."

As for the probability, it was directly "parsed" by "Pure White Eye", and Abner really didn't try it personally.

"Extreme... joy?" Darkwell was stunned for a moment, his expression gradually becoming ambiguous, and winking, "Is it the kind of joy I understand?"

"Almost... This weapon is made from the skin of the 'Blame Demon' I bought from Extraordinary Gatherings, so 'happiness' should be the kind you understand...but it will definitely not feel good. , Don't get addicted to yourself..." Abner gave him a deliberately worried look.

Hearing that, the fat on Darkwell's face trembled, as if he was poked into his mind, and he changed the subject abruptly: "Since it is made of ordinary materials from extraordinary creatures...how long is it valid?"

"One year..." Abner put up a finger and shook it, then continued, "In addition, it has no obvious negative effects, only one weakness... fear of fire!

"Once it is burned by the fire, it will not show any extraordinary abilities for at least a week."

Darkwell nodded, put the whip away, then motioned to Abner to follow him, and pushed open the door to the back room.

Abner asked Elaine to stay outside, take care of Budi and the owl, and then followed in Darkwell's footsteps, and came to a roof that was treated by special means, allowing him to adjust the daylight and temperature at will. room.

"Fat Pharmacist" came to a shelf in three or two steps, pointed to one of the newly sprouting petri dishes and said: "This is the 'dragon blood five-color flower' you want, but it will take at least two weeks to bloom."

Abner knew this a long time ago. After all, Darkwell told him the last time a deal was agreed, so he thought about it and figured out the other party's intention to bring himself here, and said:" Just tell me if you have something, I won't reveal it...we are friends, too."

"Yes, it's a friend." Seeing that his careful thoughts were pierced, Darkwell explained affirmatively: "I mainly don't want Buddy to get too involved in my personal affairs..."

Then, he said solemnly: "Actually, I want to hear your analysis of the great detective."

"What's the matter?" Abner faintly guessed, but still asked calmly.

"If... I mean if someone makes an appointment with you, but it's too late... but you are sure that the other person will come... Then, where to go and how to find him?" Darkwell pondered Asked.

You just ask where your teacher got it... You were so tired before I guess you went out in the middle of the night to find a way, right? Abner sneered, ostensibly ignoring all the suspicious points in the other party's words, and analyzed for him:

"In this case, either use occult methods for divination; or use the official to help you find it."

"Divination is useless..." Darkwell shook his head first, and then after thinking for a moment, then asked, "Then how can I use the official to find it for me?"

"It's very simple, just pretend to be him and commit the crime." Abner gave the advice honestly.

Darkwell looked at Abner dumbfounded, and said to himself: How can I be a pharmacist?

"Is there any other way?" Darkwell asked dejectedly.

"Of course, you can also spend money to hire an adventurer to help you find..." For example, some crazy adventurer in the future.

In fact, Abner knew where Darkwell's teacher was, but this matter involved "uniqueness," he didn't want to take over, and he didn't have the ability to threaten uniqueness by Mr. Fool, so he rushed in. It is possible to overturn the car with Darkwell.

"It can only be so..." Darkwell sighed, and then returned to the front counter room with Abner.

As soon as they came back, they saw a boy with blue hair hesitatingly walked in from outside.

He is Tran on Miss Gwen's ship...

But Tran didn't see Abner. The first thing he looked at was Elaine who was standing at the door.

Facing this unsmiling beautiful lady, he just wanted to ask questions when he heard a joking voice in his ear:

"Young people, there are some things to be temperate! Why do you make your body so vain at this age?"

Hearing this, Tran's face flushed suddenly.

Vol 2 Chapter 555: Darkwell's treatment

I know that Darkwell's mouth smells bad, but he won't be joking in this regard, and the red face of the teenager Tran is obviously also very telling...

This...I remember that Karen secretly helped Tran adjust his body when he was in Damir... Could it be that Lydia's potion has expired, right?

Turning this thought in his mind, Abner imitated the ability of a "doctor", carefully observed Tran, and then relaxed.

Because he found that Tran's body did not have any essential damage, although it was indeed "empty", it just showed Lydia's "restraint."

You know, according to Karen's description, Tran's attraction to Lydia continues to increase. If it exceeds a certain threshold, Lydia, who is not controlled by drugs, may even **** his blood directly!

"However, Tran is not just 'ischemia' now...or, um, the problem that needs 'mummy powder' is even more serious...

"Boys and girls are attracted to each other, and girls who are not satisfied with their diet use other methods to relieve their 'desire'? Or is it a compensation for the teenagers?"

Just when Abner was thinking about it, because Elaine walked to his side, Tran finally discovered his existence, could not help but blusher, and then blurted out in surprise and shyness;

'Mr. Bryan, why are you here? '

"Mr. Darkwell and I were friends when we were in Backlund, so we came here as a guest." Abner smiled back after a simple greeting.

He didn't mention his deal with the fat pharmacist, after all, it was unnecessary.

Darkwell glanced back and forth a few times at this time, then looked at Tran, and deliberately interjected:

"Your problem is not serious...Since you know Abner, then I will give you a discount, only 3 pounds, to ensure that you will be more brave than ever tonight.

"Of course, I personally suggest you take a few days off."

"I...I..." Even after taking the first step to get rid of "inferiority complex" with the help of Abner, Tran's face was still a little thin, and she suddenly squatted.

Seeing this, Darkwell happily took out common or strange herbs, insect shells, etc. from the cabinet next to them, put them into a paper bag, and handed them over:

"Put it all in water and cook for half an hour...

"Trust me, as long as you drink the boiled liquid, you can satisfy yourself and your female partner.

"This was praised by a mistress of Duke Negan."

The usual guests are either old fried dough sticks, or non-talking people like Abner, and their reactions are very boring. It is rare that an interesting teenager came, and he is naturally very happy.

After all, seeing others embarrassed or irritated is one of his pleasures.

Of course, helping others to recover is also...

But he always mixes the two kinds of fun together, so even if he does help people, he won't be grateful.

The mistress of the Duke of Negan...The original book The Duke of Renigan seems to have indeed drunk a potion made from "mummy powder" before he died... Darkwell, dare you to be an accomplice of the blood worship "Apostle of Desire"!

In other words, this was not "arranged" by the priest Maozi? This kind of subverts his image in my mind...

In his heart, Abner looked at Tran, who was facing the medicine packet, neither was it, nor was it not. He took the waist bag and handed it to Tran's hand, and then deliberately turned off the topic and asked:

"Are you the Byam alone, or did the "Alenheim" also come?"

Holding the medicine packet stuffed into his hand, Tran was taken aback for a moment, then he glanced at Abner gratefully, then he took out three one-pound bills and placed them on the counter before he breathed a sigh of relief and replied in a low voice:

"The captain is here too, and we are going to attend the extraordinary party at the 'Fragrant Leaf Bar' on Wednesday night.

"It is said that after the party changed the bosses behind the scenes, because of the 'notary' and the 'appraiser', it attracted more extraordinary people to trade, and the specifications were very high... So the captain planned to wipe some supplies for exploration. That…"

Speaking of this, Tran closed his mouth suddenly. After all, the content that follows is a secret belonging to their team, and no matter how good the relationship with Mr. Brian is, it is not suitable to be revealed to him.

explore? I know, the treasure corresponding to the sword of the golden serpent... From the page of the diary that Xiu presented earlier, it is certain that Russell is not at ease... Although it will not kill people, there is definitely something in it. a big surprise".

Hmm... and it is not certain whether Roselle was further contaminated when preparing the "treasure" for the scene... If he was contaminated, even if it was "good intentions", it would not be Gwen, Tran, and Li. Dia can afford it.

I remember I wrote this to Karen before, did he not take care of it?

Or Karen has his consideration? Well, in short, since Karen knows about this, it's not my turn to worry about it.

However, the "Fragrant Leaf Bar" party? Unexpectedly, just after successfully holding it once, my party would become so famous that even Damir had heard of it?

While thinking about it in his heart, Abner pretended not to hear Tran's frustration, and instead politely invited:

"Have you found a place to live? If not, you can come to my "Aroma Manor", where there are plenty of rooms."

And the sound insulation is better...

"This...this is up to the captain to decide." Tran thought for a while and responded shyly.

"That's right...In this way, I will leave the address to you. If Gwen makes a decision, he can go straight to the door." Abner said and glanced at Elaine next to him, the red maid immediately understood, from her pocket Take out the paper and pen, and pass it over.

After writing a few strokes of the address, Abner handed the note to Tran's hand, and then talked to Darkwell, who had consciously hid on the other side of the house since their conversation, and exchanged a few words. Leaving the folk herbal medicine shop with Elaine.

Tran looked at Elaine's back, and couldn't help but worry about the captain... Although the captain and Mr. Brian did not seem to have a special relationship, the 'hero detective' was indeed the most trusted and admired man by the captain...

Damir's rumors may not be all false. After all, as Emperor Roselle said, "If there is a hole, the wind will enter"!

After Tran took the medicine and left, Darkwell walked out of the house with the whip and said to the trembling owl in the yard:

"Come on, let's try the power of this magical item..."

Harry Owl looked at the whip with bulging eyes for a few seconds, and tried his best to remain calm and authentic: "My feathers are not as thick as iron. You will lose a right-hand man if you try."

"But I want an assistant who can only help me deal with monsters and gangsters..." Darkwell shook his whip, deliberately grimly.

At this time, Buddy, the weak girl who has been silent, finally plucked up the courage: "Mr. Darkwell... please don't bully Mr. Harry... If you want to experiment, you can find me... I owe you a lot, and cooperate with you. It should be."

Although her voice was trembling when she spoke, she looked into Darkwell's eyes and finished speaking.

Darkwell looked at her for a long while, and when Budi couldn't even stand still, he suddenly put away his whip, and said with a weird smile: "For Budi's face, go around you first. Silly bird."

Budi let out a sigh of relief when he heard this. His weak body almost fell to the ground, but it was the owl that grabbed her collar and gave her a cushion so that she didn't really fall.

"Thank you, Mr. Darkwell, you are such a good person!" Budi said cheerfully.

Darkwell ignored her, just stretched out his arm, and the owl flapped its wings twice and jumped onto his hand.

Until Darkwell turned back to the counter room, he turned his back to Budi and asked:

"I remember, that page where you asked for help said that your wish was 'live like a person'?"

"Ah...?" Budi was a little sluggish when he heard the words, and it took several seconds to react.

"You are now!" Duckwell finished this sentence, and dozed off at the counter amidst the noise of the owl "How am I doing?", leaving only Budi standing in a daze.

The physical "malignant illness" is cured, but the "trauma" in the heart is more difficult to get rid of...Fortunately, the girl is strong enough, and this has made a good start.

...

After Tran carried a pack of medicines and arrived at a coffee shop at the agreed meeting place, she saw the tall and beautiful Captain Gwen, and Lydia who was constantly waving at him.

"Why so long?" Lydia frowned as he watched him move slowly, and then asked casually, "I seemed to see you heading towards the Red Theater just now?"

To be honest, if Tran's physical condition hadn't been confirmed, Lydia would have followed.

Before Tran could explain, Lydia sniffed again, and soon found the packet of medicine.

She only glanced at it, and she disliked the authenticity:

"Although it works, the materials used are too vulgar...

"If you spend money on it, you might as well just come to me and ask for it!"

As a "blood", she is a natural "pharmacist".

Looking for you...then I will lose face...Tran muttered a few words to herself, then looked at Miss Gwen who was snickering, and changed the subject without a teacher:

"Captain, I just met Detective Bryan."

...

At Bayam Wharf, the ancient "Blue Avenger" also sailed into the private port belonging to the "Storm Church".

At the same time, Alger Wilson was standing on the bow wearing a captain's hat, watching a large wooden sailing ship emerge from the sea.

Vol 2 Chapter 556: Amon's smile

"Trident!"

As the bishop of the Storm Church, Alger naturally recognized this ancient ghost ship that had fought for the Lord hundreds of years ago.

The origin of this ship is also very interesting. It is said that after the death of the **** of death and the formation of the violent sea that separated the north and south continents, a faithful believer of the Lord was left alone in the south continent.

He tried his best, but failed to cross the violent sea, and was finally buried in the sea with his boat.

After his death, the soul and the ship combined to turn into this ghost ship that could "dive deep" and wandered aimlessly in the waters around the southern continent for hundreds of years, creating many legends.

It wasn't until 700 years ago, after the Twenty Years War, that it suddenly drilled out of the seabed, appeared directly in the sea near Pasu Island, the temple headquarters, and returned to the Lord's embrace.

It is said that this ghost ship was not called "Trident" at the beginning, but another name that did not remain in any historical records. The reason why Alger had some impression was that he had checked the origins of the "Blue Avenger" at the beginning. Turned over.

Just as his thoughts were flying, the "Trident" had already landed first, and to Alger's surprise, a team of Red Gloves of the Church of the Dark Night got off the boat.

"The Trident is generally only used for combat missions that quickly traverse the raging sea... Has something big happened to the Southern Continent? It needs the elites of the two churches to join forces?

"It is said that members of the Rose School went crazy for a short time...maybe it is related to this?"

Since the last time the Tarot meeting was a newly added Miss Temperance of Sequence 5, Klein who was barely able to support the party was consumed very quickly, so he did not have time to ask Abner about the information about the maze in Daniel's mirror, the latter and Hugh didn't have time to share, so it ended in a hurry.

In addition, it hasn't been a week since the incident, and with the speed of information dissemination in this era, it is normal for Alger to not receive relevant news.

He stared at an ink-haired, blue-eyed red glove for a long time, until the other person turned his head to meet his gaze, and then smiled and silently laughed at himself:

"Forget it, it's none of my business anyway, there is no need to worry about this...at most, I will find someone to ask during the next tarot meeting.

"What we should consider now is the extraordinary party to be held at the Fragrant Leaf Bar tomorrow night. According to my information, some people do intend to sell the blood of deep-sea marlin, but the other party hopes to get the magical medicine formula of the fighter...

"If someone bids for the formula, there will be no advantage in the gold pound in my hand.

"Originally, the sun should be able to find out this formula easily, but he is being watched now, so it's better not to do behaviors that easily arouse suspicion...

"For the sake of the possible Abraham family channels behind the magician, it is not worth the gain to destroy the mature channels of the Abandoned Land."

Thinking of this, Alger decided to fight for it as much as possible. If there is no other way, he can only say sorry to Miss "Magic".

As for the "Ocean Singer" potion formula he asked for, he had never thought that he would get it in such a gathering.

Insufficient levels are one of the reasons. The main problem is that the Lord's guards must monitor such gatherings...

Even if the organizer of the party had this formula in his hand, he would definitely not dare to sell it.

...

On the dock, Leonard Mitchell, who was wearing a black windbreaker and red gloves, withdrew his gaze, just remembering the appearance of the man with the blue sea leader.

Then, he tilted his head slightly, lowered his voice and said, "Old man, do you know who is looking at me?"

Pales's slightly old voice immediately rang in his mind:

"You are still so rude.

"It's too far, I don't feel very clear... But judging from the color of his hair, it should be an Extraordinary in the way of the sailor, and his ship is an obvious ghost ship, plus he can dock at the private port of the Storm Church... You Should I be able to guess it?"

"The privateer captain of the Church of the Storm?" Leonard thought for a while, recalling the knowledge he had recently made up for, and tentatively said.

When he was in Tingen, he didn't know anything about the things on the sea, and he didn't know much about it... He only knew the names of those island generals and kings who offered amazing rewards.

"But what did a privateer captain look at me? I thought he found out..." Leonard kept talking, and his voice became low, until it was almost inaudible.

"Heh, I think he just happened to look at you when he was looking randomly...Of course, it may also be that your fate will meet in the future. This is a kind of omen now." In his mind, Pales Zoroa Steer groaned.

"So, he might also be one of the protagonist's partners?" Leonard glanced at Captain Soest, who was shaking hands with the penalty agent, and whispered, "Actually, I think it is appropriate to include female characters in such a team. , Is the development of a good story...I don't like sailors at all..."

As he spoke, the corners of his mouth gradually twitched, as if recalling the leisurely days when he was in Tingen...

Pales was silent for a long time suddenly asked: "Are you still missing yourself as the protagonist of the drama?"

Hearing that, the smile on Leonard's face suddenly disappeared, and after a while, he said firmly: "I miss it, but I also hate it... I was so absent at that time!"

"You'd better adjust these emotions, otherwise it is likely to be used... For example, the mission target that you will be assigned after you return to Backlund this time." Pales reminded.

"Devil?" Leonard nodded thoughtfully. "It is said that there was a terrible devil sacrifice incident in Sunia Island, and many people died. That's why the temple pays so much attention to the devil's call. Bar."

"Hey, things are not as simple as you think." Pales smiled.

"What do you mean?" Leonard asked puzzledly.

But Pales didn't answer any more, only expressing meaningfully: "There are some things, the more you know, the more dangerous it is."

After speaking, he added: "Don't stop in Bayam, don't leave the private port of the Storm Church, and take the airship back to Backlund as soon as possible."

...

At the same time, in a villa not far from the military port, Prince Mountbatten, who followed His Royal Highness Vera to Bayam, woke up from his sleep, got out of bed, walked to a desk, and pulled Open the drawer, take out a monocle from the inside, and put it on the right eye.

"It's just a substitute for the prince? Don't you know anything...

"It's really interesting... Who is doing this behind the scenes? It seems familiar to me...

"Which acquaintance is it?"

After muttering a few words to himself, he looked through the window and looked in the direction of Hailang Church, with a smile that seemed like nothing at the corner of his mouth.

"The real prince is there... I really want to see what he will look like after stealing the church in front of him!"

Vol 2 Chapter 557: Unknown date

Aroma Manor, Abner, who came back from the folklore herbal shop, was about to continue to study and figure out the "two designs" of Closfia's image of "Doctor Strange", when he received the news that "Sea Snake" Weaver came home.

"Sea Snake" Weaver is his agent in the "Fragrant Leaf Bar" and is now a Sequence 9 "Hunter".

In this regard, Abner was a little surprised, because in order to cover up the relationship between Weaver and himself, he had instructed the other party to visit his manor as little as possible so as not to attract others' attention.

Although he is not too afraid of exposing this level of relationship, he still has to try his best to reduce the trouble.

"Because of the contract, he is unlikely to disobey my orders...Well, it should be the fact that I told him to investigate before, so he came to report in person?"

With a guess in his mind, Abner asked Elaine to take the other person to his study.

After Weaver came in, he first greeted Abner respectfully, then took out a copy of the information and handed it to Elaine, and she put it on the table beside Abner.

Abner glanced around and found that it was a list of items that might appear at the party tomorrow night, and a corresponding list of needs.

In order to achieve a higher success rate of the transaction, Weaver improved the form of the party, referring to the practice of some auction houses, and set up a public mailbox in the bar, allowing guests to anonymously write down the items they want to sell and their needs. in.

Then, Weaver will arrange people to release some news in advance based on this, so that people who want to buy the corresponding items can prepare early.

Of course, because the transaction may have been completed before the party, or it may have been deliberately messing up, it may not be true to let out the wind, and the bar will not admit it.

In response, Abner frowned, looked at Weaver and asked: "You didn't come here in person just because you gave this?"

"Sir, of course not... That list is just an excuse to come to your door... Other local gentlemen and ladies who are interested in gatherings, I also sent it personally..."

After Weaver explained a sentence, he glanced at Elaine at the desk and said vaguely: "It was the matter you asked me to check last time...about the doctor."

The so-called "doctor" is the code name of the man who was killed by Abner who caused trouble in the last extraordinary gathering. He himself was a famous lone killer in the Rhodes Islands, and his most brilliant deed was to assassinate the leader of the North Party of the local gang in Bayam.

Of course, Abner asked Weaver to investigate him because the "doctor" was just a "harvest sacrifice", but he held the seeds of a new species cultivated by hybridization in his hands...

The two "new species" are very similar to the "piranha" and "sunflower" in some casual games he played in his previous life.

Sure enough, it was because of this... Abner nodded slightly, and saw Weaver's words hesitating, and he glanced at Elaine from time to time. Some did not understand what he was worrying about. You must know that although Elaine was also the "maid who forced him to work." ", but the relationship is much closer than his "agent".

In addition, when investigating the "doctor", Elaine, who was in the "Fragrant Leaf Bar" at the time, also knew that she was not letting her hear the results now. Isn't this deliberately looking for trouble?

Weaver did this, not afraid that Elaine would wear small shoes to him afterwards?

While Abner was defamating, Elaine apparently sensed Weaver's concerns, so she took the initiative to say: "I still have some expenditure statistics that have not been completed... I will deal with it first."

After speaking, she lifted her skirt and saluted, and then without looking at Weaver, she left the study.

Seeing this, Abner glanced at Weaver pityingly, cleared his throat and said, "Okay, can I continue talking now?"

Weaver smiled bitterly, then organized the language and stated:

"After many investigations, my subordinates finally found out that the doctor had been hiding in Winstu's tribe before coming to the party that day...

"Furthermore, there is evidence that Tansenka is also hiding there, and it is precisely because of this that the doctor accepted the commission and came to the gathering I organized to sabotage..."

"Who is Tansenka?" Abner interrupted.

As for the Winstu tribe, he had heard that it was a local force of Bayam...or a rebel army of indigenous people, with its headquarters hidden in the jungle on the island.

However, Winstu was relatively mild in the Resistance Army, and he was not too repulsive to people outside the tribe. That's why outsiders such as "Doctors" who have obvious Luen appearances could hide there.

"Tansenka is one of Julius Ozil's confidants. At the time of the punishment that night, he happened to be out on errands and escaped...

"Later he was defeated in a fight with me for the ownership of the Fragrant Leaf Bar, so he held a grudge..."

Weaver glanced at his "employer" in awe when he spoke of the word "Heaven's Punishment".

Afterwards, he explored the ruins of the villa in the wharf area and knew what kind of damage it could cause! In his opinion, even if the legendary "Sea King" of the Church of Storms made the shot himself, that was the case.

What he didn't know was that the prototype of the spell used by Abner that night was indeed from "Aquaman", and it might even be made by him himself.

So that's it... Abner nodded and said calmly, "Go on."

"My people soon discovered a strange thing after mixing into Winstu. That is, the doctor was seriously injured after going out... and after that, he moved away from the original Residence, insisting on going to live alone on the cliff southwest of the tribe.

"Although the natives in the tribe are not hostile to him, they don't welcome him to live permanently. Seeing that he offered to move away, they were extremely happy to help him carry things, but he refused..."

When Weaver said this, before Abner asked about the location of the cliff, he lowered his head and said, "Just when my people wanted to find out where he moved on the cliff, he was caught...

"And according to him, the one who caught him was a beautiful young girl who was completely different from those of the natives in terms of race and dress... But the elders of Winstu had all the respect for her.

"My subordinates said that the girl didn't know what method he used, so that he could not control herself at all, and explained her identity...

"And the other party told him that you are her friend before letting my men come back, and invited you to meet her at the Vinstu tribe tonight..."

my friend? Who will it be? No, how could she know that I was behind "Sea Snake" Weaver? Under the constraints of the "contract", Weaver is impossible to disclose my information to his men!

Is it possible that the other party is deceiving? Secretly follow Weaver to see who he is going to look for?

Thinking like this in my heart Abner also asked.

At the same time, he opened the "Pure White Eyes" and relied on the "rituals" arranged around the manor to check carefully and found that no one else was hiding. This was a sigh of relief.

"I thought the same at the beginning... But what the other party asked my men to bring back was a letter with your name clearly written..." Weaver took out another letter and passed it over.

Abner took a look and found that the handwriting was beautiful, indeed a bit familiar. After thinking about it for a while, he remembered that it was the handwriting of his classmate, Miss Romance...

But Roman is just an ordinary person, how could he have contact with the indigenous tribe of Bayam? This doesn't make sense...

Huh? Wait...Yes, I don't actually know Roman's handwriting, what I know is always the handwriting used by Judy when she pretends to be Roman!

So, Judy asked me to meet?

Well, if it was her, I should know my strength. If I heard about the details of the last extraordinary gathering, I might have guessed that it was me. It would not be difficult to make the judgment that Weaver was behind me...

Moreover, she has a mother who seems to "know" more than I...

But why is it so troublesome for her to see me? Wouldn't it be okay to just come to me?

Thinking about this in his heart, Abner asked Weaver again: "Did the girl tell your men her name?"

Weaver, who is good at observing words, shook his head, judged that the "employer" might have guesses in his heart, so he was also relieved.

The reason why he spent the maid just now was because he was afraid that this was actually an old friend of the "hero detective" who came to ask him to meet at night... so he didn't hesitate to offend the other party... lest the "employer" embarrassed himself.

It now appears that his guess should be correct.

Vol 2 Chapter 558: Trapped

Seeing that there was no more information from Weaver, Abner pondered for a while and asked again:

"Do you know which force the Winstu tribe is in collusion with?"

Generally speaking, the rebels in the Ruen colony must be supported by intelligence organizations from other countries, such as Fosac, Intis, Fenebert...

"Sir, I haven't been in power for a short time...I don't know much about this..." Having said that, Weaver thought for a while and continued, "However, according to my judgment, it shouldn't be Intis or Frey. Sack...otherwise Winster's fighting attitude would not be so gentle."

In other words, it is indeed possible that Fenebert is supporting it? So Judy, as the representative of the Mother Earth Church, will be highly respected by the elders of the tribe? After all, it's the gold master...

After having a judgment in his mind, Abner asked Weaver about the situation of his subordinate who was put back by Judy, and wanted to do some aftermath work.

For his confidants, Weaver originally wanted to give him a sum of money to get him far away from Bayam, but at this moment when he heard the "employer" ask, he gritted his teeth and said: "Sir, Don't worry, I will get rid of him when I go back!"

Co-authored in your heart, I am such a cruel image? Abner was speechless when he heard the words, so she had to say: "I mean, before the extraordinary party tomorrow, you will bring him to me, and I will let him forget things he shouldn't know."

There is an ordinary person on the left and right, "hinting" can make him forget everything... and even if it is revealed that he is the behind-the-scenes owner of the "Fragrant Leaf Bar", there is actually nothing wrong with it. "Punishers" will not easily arrest themselves, it is a little troublesome at best.

Not hurting the innocent is one of Abner's bottom lines, and he hopes he can stick to it.

Hearing the words of the "employer", Weaver exhaled and said relaxedly: "Okay, sir."

Now that the news has been delivered, "Sea Snake" Weaver will not be able to stay for a long time. After saying goodbye to Abner, he left the "Aroma Manor" in a carriage.

After he left, Abner picked up the handwritten letter from Judy again and read it carefully several times, but didn't find any secret words in it, so after thinking about it, he opened the "Pure White Eye". Begin to extract the remaining breath on the letter for "backtracking".

A few minutes later, the color of Abner's eyes returned to normal. He put the letter on the table, then pinched his chin and muttered to himself:

"The remaining breath does belong to Judy...but it is mixed with some other things, which is not pure enough...

"As for 'Retrospect', since it is not on the spot and lacks clues, even if the 'Pure White Eye' is opened, the effect is not very good. You can only see the scene when 'Judy' is writing a letter..."

Learning the habit of "the fool" tapped his finger on the desk, and after careful weighing, Abner decided to go to the Winstu tribe to check it out at night...

As for whether to go to the appointment or not, we have to wait until the situation is ascertained.

He sensed something was wrong with the way Judy asked him to meet, and the wording in the letter...

The girl whom Darkwell ridiculed as a "silly girl" even if she wants to see me, shouldn't write a letter to meet, and more likely will come directly to the door, just like when she was in Backlund...

Well, even if you really can't get away and choose to write a letter, you won't use such wording...

She is a Fenebert girl who wrote letters in Loen text and also used the handwriting of another girl she once played. This is not very normal in itself!

Is something wrong with her?

With a slight sigh, Abner walked to the bookshelf, found Bayam's map, and looked at it seriously.

As a friend, he couldn't let Judy leave alone. After all, the little girl had helped him a lot, and he promised her to collect "unique plants", but she hasn't fulfilled it yet...

Moreover, if Judy really got into trouble because of this, he wouldn't have the face to go to Ms. Closfia, let alone ask her to help him complete the promotion ceremony...

Just when Abner confirmed the exact location of the Winstu tribe on the map, Elaine knocked on the door of the study and came in to report:

"Mr. Blaine, two ladies and a teenager are visiting... Well, that teenager is the one I met in the herbal shop before."

"Gwen, Lydia, and Tran are here." Putting down the map, Abner thought for a while, and rang the bell to call Mr. Butler, and asked him to prepare the top ingredients stored in the manor. He wanted to talk to his friends. have dinner together.

As for the banquet, just forgive it... He has to investigate the tribe at night, he doesn't want to go wrong before he leaves... It's better to have a light meal.

...

In the living room, the three of Gwen were sitting on the sofa, chatting in low voices.

Speaking of, because of many reasons such as price, they finally failed to find a satisfactory hotel, and under Lydia's instigation, they came to the "Aroma Manor" to stay.

"I actually came here when I was a kid. The housekeeper back then was the grandfather of the current Mr. Harvey." Lydia looked around and said, "The decoration is different... last time I came, this living room There are many famous paintings hanging in it."

Since the identity of her kin was revealed, Lydia has no qualms about speaking in front of Gwen and Tran.

"It may be that Mr. Blaine doesn't like oil painting." Miss Gwen chuckled, and instead of continuing the topic, she exhorted, "Lydia, you can't be foolish when you are a guest at someone else's house..."

Speaking of this, she looked at Tran again and said sternly: "And you, Tran...You can't always accommodate Lydia, you can't give as much as she wants..."

When Tran heard the words, her cheeks flushed again, and he stubbornly wanted to explain a few words, but didn't know where to start... Because the captain always thought Lydia was just eating his blood, but in fact...

Although Lydia didn't care much, but she didn't want to perfuse the captain, so after an "um", she changed the subject and said, "Speaking of which, the maid just now was a bit strange."

"What's weird? I think she is beautiful and capable, much more worry-free than the two of you." Miss Gwen was really distracted and asked suspiciously.

"She has a scent of 'depravity', obviously she has experienced something...but the body is still pure...isn't it strange enough?" Lydia smacked her lips.

"Why do you always pay attention to such things..." Gwen almost covered his face when he heard the words.

"As a blood clan Isn't it natural to pay attention to whether the ingredients are still 'fresh'?" Lydia said with a wink.

Gwen just wanted to say something, but saw Abner push the door and walk into the living room, so he quickly got up and saluted and greeted him.

And Abner also repaid the three of them one by one, and then sat down and exchanged greetings with the three of them...

...

Southwest of Bayam, in a small valley under a cliff deep in the jungle.

Members of the elite "Destroyer" squad, Karen and Judy rely on their magical items to barely build a protective barrier relying on the terrain, which can withstand the crazy attack of a large group of plants.

Behind them, the team leader, the half-giant Asenoff, lay down on the ground and passed out in a coma.

Karen sat on a rock and said to Judy while regaining the spirituality that had been consumed in a large amount:

"Fortunately, after the demigod-level power of the 'cherry' exploded, most of its power was blocked by the captain, otherwise this barrier would definitely not be able to hold it...

"But even so, we can't last too long... Judy, how sure are the 'plant substitute' you sent out before the ban in this valley can be called to help?"

Judy wiped the sweat from his forehead and shook his head in frustration:

"I don't know... Although I tried my best to copy my own memory to 'her', there is a ban, and how much 'she' can receive, I can't be sure..."

Karen sighed after hearing the words: "This is in trouble...Even the ritual to summon Silika has been blocked here. If we don't arrive in time for strong support, we might be really in danger this time...

"We are still careless... I didn't expect that the original owner of this valley, as an 'ancient alchemist', would actually be proficient in the 'secret method' of the space that can be arranged only through the 'apprentice' way of high sequence..."

Vol 2 Chapter 559: dinner

The fastest update Secret: the latest chapters start from the reader!

In the restaurant on the first floor of the Fragrant Manor, as the servants put the grilled fish dishes on the table, a strong smell penetrated the noses of the Gwens, which greatly enriched their saliva secretion.

As a manor named "aromatic", there are many kinds of spices, plus the most suitable for grilling, the Garol fish from the freshwater lake near Bayam, the taste is quite attractive.

However, at this moment, except that Tran flexibly picked up the "chopsticks" placed beside the dinner plate, Lydia and Miss Gwen were a little at a loss.

Where's the knife and fork? What are these two branch-like things?

Just when they were confused, Abner skillfully picked up the "chopsticks" and explained with a smile:

"When you eat grilled fish, you have to use this kind of tableware called 'chopsticks'. It is said that Emperor Roselle got the inspiration from the customs of the elves."

As he said, he gently picked up a piece of fish as a demonstration.

"Elf customs?" Gwen, who has the blood of "giant", and Lydia, who is simply the "blood", have no special affection for elves, but this does not prevent them from learning to use this unique tableware enthusiastically.

Miss Gwen tried to provoke the fish, but because she had exerted too much effort, she directly caught it... She frowned, glanced at the flexible movement of Mr. Brian at the top, and subconsciously became serious and used it. The extraordinary ability of the "Weapon Master" turned the chopsticks into a weapon, and it quickly became like a finger arm.

On the other hand, Lydia was unsuccessful for a long time, she couldn't help but felt a little discouraged, and wanted to eat the fish that smelled so good. Anyway, that thorn was nothing to the blood.

Even because the chef specially stuffed spices through the holes in the eyes of the Galol fish to ensure that there is a taste inside and out, if you are not afraid of those fish bones getting stuck in your throat, it is actually quite good to chew...

—Galol fish's eyes do not have eyeballs, and its entire eyes are even closed when it is alive. Only when it wants to "observe" the surroundings, a faintness will appear in the corresponding "eye" position The light seems to form a channel, or "pupil"... it will "close" in a few seconds.

But in just a few seconds, the Garol fish can figure out the surrounding environment and terrain. If it is not taken too far by the current, there is no need to "observe" again for a few days.

After the Galol fish dies, that layer of "faint light" will condense into an opaque white liquid, and its originally closed eyes will instantly become "empty", which directly leads to the fish's brain and Various organs.

Closer to home, just when Lydia hesitated to eat the fish with the thorns, Tran by her side stretched out the chopsticks, helping her pick the thorns while demonstrating the correct usage of "chopsticks" for her.

After an accident, Lydia was deeply satisfied, moved her head closer, and whispered, "You know how to use this kind of tableware!"

"'Chopsticks' was not actually invented by Emperor Roselle. In the etiquette inherited by our family for more than a thousand years, the use of 'chopsticks' has been used... It is rumored that this is a rule set by an ancestor." Towers Lan also lowered his voice.

"Ancestor, is that Lord Yallolan?" Lydia asked curiously while enjoying Tran's "service".

"How do you know that I'm the descendant of that lord?" Tran took a chopstick hand and said in surprise.

He remembered not telling Lydia about his life experience... although he did not deliberately conceal it.

"What my brother told me...The members of our family will be attracted to the descendants of Yallolan...So, I guess I can't control it..." Lydia replied.

"Then... Then you were attracted to me simply because of the occult connection?" As he said, Tran pursed his mouth, his face a little pale.

"Fool... I wanted this to be simply attracted to this, I would have sucked you up a long time ago!" Lydia stretched out her hand and twisted Tran, so that the other party should not think about it.

Then, the two of them bit their ears without anyone else, and their attention completely diverted from the grilled fish.

Naturally, their "little actions" couldn't be concealed from Abner, and even Miss Gwen, who was eating fish at the table, heard them really.

The latter smiled awkwardly at Abner and explained to his subordinates: "Their relationship has just broken through recently, so..."

"This is just a gathering of friends, not a banquet. There is no need to observe any dining etiquette." Abner didn't care about it, instead he kept emphasizing that it was not a "banquet."

Miss Gwen breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words, and gradually let go of her behavior, enjoying the food while chatting with Abner.

Abner thought of the possible remains of the Giant's Castle under Gwen's grandfather's hotel, and asked actively;

"I remember you mentioned that the reason why you are keen on taking risks and becoming an extraordinary is because you got a notebook by chance when you were a kid?"

"Yes, that is a note written by the descendants of the Quaternary Giants. Although it is not complete and many pages are missing, it also records a lot of mystical knowledge, including the potions of the 'Warrior' and the 'Fighter' formula.

"And at the end of the note, the descendant of the giant mentioned the cave where we ventured together..."

As Miss Gwen said, she also looked at Abner a little strangely, not understanding why he asked this.

But she has nothing to conceal. After all, when she was next to the pool deep in the cave, she told the other party about this notebook... and, the "Sword of Dawn" turned into by the giant's "legacy" was still in the opponent's hand. inside.

Speaking of, the name "Sword of Dawn", Mr. Blaine still took it under my "tip".

Just as Miss Gwen's thoughts were flying farther and farther Abner's voice called her back: "May I look at that notebook? In exchange, I can tell you the formula of the 'Dawn Knight' potion."

Before intercepting the "Undead King" squadron, Abner killed the fleet admiral "Gray Giant" Gravina, and obtained his extraordinary characteristics.

And since the "Dawn Rider" feature had been in his hands for so long, naturally, he had "parsed" the potion formula long ago.

"That's too expensive..." Miss Gwen waved her hand again and again. Although the notebook was precious, the most important piece of information, the location of the submarine cave, had no value, and it was completely impossible to wait for the sequence 6-level potion formula. price.

"In fact, the value it contains may far exceed your imagination!" Abner did not explain much, but the tone was very serious, making Miss Gwen believe it at once. After agreeing to the deal, she couldn't help but ask. Said: "What does it involve?"

Abner did not answer directly, but instead asked:

"Where did you get that notebook?"

Vol 2 Chapter 560: Mystery and Undercurrent

The fastest update Secret: the latest chapters start from the reader!

"Where did I get that notebook..." Miss Gwen thought about it for a moment before thinking about it. "This notebook drifted down the hot spring water from the mountain to the hot spring pool of my grandfather's house. It happened to be played at the time. I found...

"I think it has a special paper quality, and it has not been damaged after being soaked for a long time. I kept it in curiousity for a while, and then I forgot it for a long time.

"It wasn't until I was in the Backlund Women's School that I came into contact with the Ancient Fossac language that is the source of the writings of the North Continent, and I didn't think of that notebook...because the text on it was the Ancient Fossac language."

Drifting down the hot spring? Not excavated underground? From this point of view, the information gathered by the woman named Paji in the "Gnostic Society" may not be true...

Abner thought for a while and asked again: "Anne... take the liberty to ask, in what year did you pick it up?"

—Miss Gwen's full name is Annie Gwen.

"About 12 years ago, when I was six..." Miss Gwen replied affirmatively.

That year was also the time when she left Fosac with her parents and came to Backlund, so she was very impressed.

Twelve years ago... I remember that in the "Police Diary" I got from the "Dreamland Labyrinth Tower", the time when the fishermen first discovered the remains of the dragon skeleton was also twelve years ago...

Could this be a coincidence?

Or is there a relationship between the castle of the descendants of giants and the ruins related to Mr. Azik?

Hey, after exchanging information with Ms. Closfia, I originally thought that I knew about the ruins. Now it seems that there may be other secrets hidden in it.

As his thoughts flashed, Abner met Miss Gwen's curious gaze and simply told her about the inexplicable natural disaster that destroyed the "Castle of the Descendants of Giants" at the end of the Fourth Age.

But he did not say the source of this information.

After all, it is impossible for Miss Gwen to go to Fosac in person, and telling her this now will not do any good except to make her annoyed.

Moreover, the "Gnosis" Paji is dead, and most of the troubles with her grandfather's house have actually been solved.

"It turns out that there is still such a secret hidden on Mount Tamick..." Miss Gwen sighed in surprise, then thought of something, and then murmured worriedly, "Mr. Bryan...no, it's Abu. Since Na can find out those secrets, others may not be able to...No, I have to write to my mother and ask her to persuade grandpa to sell the hot spring hotel as soon as possible!"

Abner heard Gwen's whisper and nodded in satisfaction. The reason why he said this to the other party was that he himself had the desire to take the opportunity to buy the hotel as a base.

This was not because he deliberately took advantage. After all, Gwen's grandfather's family really had difficulty gaining a foothold in Indo, and the hotel would have to be sold sooner or later.

That being the case, he might as well buy it, at least the price won't be overwhelming.

...

Backlund, Red Rose Manor.

After several days of self-cultivation, "Lieutenant General" Tracy finally recovered from the injury and recovered to his best condition.

— She suffered some injuries before she was caught by the Rose School of thought, and then her soul was "suppressed". Even with the support and purification of the singing of "Lieutenant Admiral Iceberg", both the mental body and the astral body were still suffered. A certain degree of pollution.

Regardless of how ferocious she was when she chased and killed the souls who had "occupied" her body, she had already reached the limit, otherwise she would not accept the kindness of the prince.

Fortunately, the source of the pollution, the middle-aged "resentful spirit" seemed to have fallen, otherwise she would not be able to recover in such a short period of time.

Now that the injury has healed, Tracy does not intend to stay in Prince Edsac's manor anymore.

Although the prince is a good man and has no nasty thoughts about himself, Tracy has noticed the "horror" undercurrents around him these days!

And her instinct also told her that it would be extremely dangerous to stay here.

But it doesn't seem good to leave without saying goodbye... Tracy weighed it up and finally made up her mind, and then went into the "stealth" state, taking advantage of the night, bypassing the guard of the terrible old butler, and sneaking into the prince's. Inside the bedroom.

Prince Edsac hasn't rested yet, he is sitting on the head of the bed, frowning and reading a piece of information.

The content of the intelligence is about his brother Mountbatten.

"Mountbatten voluntarily gave up his status as a prince? Why is that? What did he do?"

Just when Edsack was full of doubts, there was a pleasant female voice in his ear:

"His Royal Highness, it's me... I have no malice, please don't speak for the time being, and it's best not to react... I just listen to it."

Edsac was really taken aback at first, but he quickly recognized that it was the voice of the girl who suddenly appeared in his tanning room with a temperament similar to Triss, so after hesitating for a while, there was still no Sing, wait for follow-up words from the other party.

"Very well, Your Royal Highness...

"I have three things to tell you when I am here tonight, as a reward for your hospitality these days... You can believe it, or you can choose to believe it or not...

"First, I am a witch, and the woman you admire is also a witch... and the witch has blood on her hands.

"Second, your butler is not trustworthy, and your deacon is watching you secretly.

"Third, and most importantly, according to my mirror divination, your life will be in danger soon, and the chance of survival only exists within this week...

"Well, I'm done with everything I want to say... Your Royal Highness, goodbye... No, I'll never see you again."

After speaking, Prince Edsac only noticed that the window seemed to be opened by the wind a little, and then the bedroom fell silent.

He sat on the head of the bed for a long time, and then picked up the information again after a while and muttered to himself:

"A prince has been sacrificed...maybe another prince will not be sacrificed...

"But death... shouldn't it? Mountbatten also survived, which shows that the father will not be so heartless...

"However, the first thing she mentioned, where I seem to have heard similar statements before... why can't I remember?"

...

In an unknown room, the facial features were like carvings, but Ince Zangwill was lying weakly on the bed with one eye blind.

Next to him, there was a bright and charming lady who was slowly smearing various things on her face while asking: "Can't that quill be used yet?"

"I used the umbilical cord of the Heir of Cthulhu in the previous battle Now I use 0-08, it will most likely directly let me hear the voice of the true creator..." Ince Zan Gewell sighed.

"Without its help, I had to frequently destroy the girl's escape plan, and I had to ask the royal adviser to meet with the prince from time to time... This greatly increased the risk of exposure... I also paid for it. A high price...

"And this is all because of your arbitrarily advocating 'arrangement'." The woman's tone was not heavy and her voice was still sweet, but in Ince's ears, she only felt that this was a severe accusation. He even felt There was a hint of danger.

"One week...at most one week later, I can use '0-08' to regain control of the situation." Ince said solemnly.

"Very good." The woman chuckled. "Before this, I will help you block the anger from the Aurora Society."

Hearing this, Ince finally let out a sigh of relief.
