v1 Chapter 36: Pritz Harbor

   "Why do you have to detour to Enmat Port when you return to the voyage? Isn't it closer to come back from Pritzport?" Ebner frowned as he listened to the route planned for him by the teacher. He intuitively felt that there were other reasons.

Enmat Port is located to the east of Tingen and East Chester County. It is one of the most famous seaports in the central part of the Ruen Kingdom. It and Prydzport, one north and one south, together support more than half of Backlund’s supplies supplement.

"Three reasons...First, this can avoid possible ambushes. Although I don't think the Witch Sect will specifically let you come back, you are prepared to land from another port, which can largely bypass the other side. Arrangement. Second, didn't you still promise a little girl to go to Enmat Port to see her?" At this point, Detective Isinger blinked at his student.

   Abner was a little horrified when he heard that, he hadn't told the teacher about it.

"Hehe, simple reasoning... and scam you! Judging from your expression, my speculation is not wrong!" Detective Isinger said here, took a mouthful of cigarettes, and took the opportunity to teach his students, "Ai Buena, you have to learn to manage your own expressions. Even if you can't achieve the level of "joy and anger are invisible", you can learn from me and cover most of the true emotions with smiles and serious expressions. ."

   Hearing the words, Abner rolled his eyes'without expression', but unfortunately this indecent movement was blocked by the ability of the copper-framed glasses to'cover'.

   "As for the third reason..." Then, Detective Isinger looked at Xiu again and smiled, "I think Miss Xiu also hopes to visit her family on the way."

  Xiu stood up abruptly, his expression full of surprise, and he squatted and said: "Mr. Stanton, how do you...know?"

Detective Isinger motioned to Hugh not to be nervous, and then slowly explained: "As a well-communicated detective, it is not difficult to check... In fact, Miss Hugh, or Miss Dill, you have been arrested by MI9. I watched it. It’s just that the MI9 intelligence officer who was in charge of investigating you has some connections with the Dier’s family, and you are only a Sequence 9, so the investigation was suppressed... This is also my suggestion that you go out and avoid it. Another reason for this."

Hugh was originally the eldest lady of the court noble Deer family. Because her father was framed and the whole family was wanted, she changed her surname to'Dilcha', and took her mother and younger brother to escape to East Chestershire to hide. stand up. But Abner knew this and kept calling her "Miss Hugh" instead of "Miss Dilcha", after all, that was a false surname.

   "Is it solved by avoiding...?" Xio frowned, feeling that his situation is getting more and more dangerous, and may even hurt his family.

"Haha, MI9 didn’t deliberately investigate you. It was only recently a day or two that I suddenly issued an order to investigate the'arbitrators' in the Eastern District... Combined with the warning you got, Abner said that the Witch Sect and MI9 had colluded. It’s true! At least some high-level officers in MI9 have traded with the Witch Sect.” Detective Isengard still smiled, but his tone was somewhat mocking, “And once the Witch Sect matter is over, the military will not waste resources. Check you for such a small person. And the intelligence officer who has a connection with the Dier family and I will help you solve the follow-up troubles."

  Xiu first breathed a sigh of relief. She was still convinced of Detective Isinger's judgment, and then a little other thought arose and asked: "Is there a connection with my family...Father's friend?"

   "I don't know about that, but after the witch's matter is completely resolved, I guess he may come into contact with you. Then you can ask yourself." Detective Isinger said.

   Xiu didn't ask any more questions, and sat down again, not knowing what he was thinking.

Abner didn’t worry much about this, because he knew that the MI9 intelligence officer in the teacher’s mouth should be the boss who took good care of Hugh in the original book. Maybe he succumbed to high-level threats, but at least he really did. He didn't have any bad thoughts about Hugh, and he was even willing to help.

   Next, after making an appointment to meet tomorrow, Hugh went back to prepare travel supplies first, and Aibner was brought into his storage room by Detective Isinger.

"This hat is still lent to you first. After going out to sea, its power is much greater than on land, and it can be counted as a backing for you." Detective Isinger once again gave the hat to the one who possessed the Wind Favored. A small part of the ability hat was handed to his students.

   Abner was not polite, and took it over solemnly. He didn't know if there would be any danger along the way, and things that could improve combat power would certainly not be rejected.

   "Teacher, is there a name or code for this hat?" After changing the hat on his head, Abner asked.

"It is not eligible to be a Level 2 Sealed Artifact, so it does not have a code name. But I am used to calling it "Hat of the Sea Breeze"." Detective Isinger first answered the student's question, and then took out a tin box from the drawer. Passed it over and said: "This is the prepaid remuneration for you to solve this commission!"

   Abner saw a movement in the tin box, and he had a vague guess. He lifted the spiritual blockade on the box and opened it. As he expected, there was a golden leaf of the tree of wisdom inside! This is one of the main materials for Sequence 7 "Knowledge Keeper"!

After more than a week of analysis, Abner has obtained the potion formula of the "Knower" through the extraordinary characteristics on '2-081', and even the formula of the sequence 6's "Ponditioner", he has analyzed one The main material, so he is a little grateful and a little excited at this time.

"As a teacher, I can only help you here. Another main material,'Longan Python's Eyeballs' and other auxiliary materials, you need to find yourself." Detective Isinger seemed to have determined Abner when he said this. Know the specific formula of the potion.

"Thank you!" After being moved, Abner decided to give his teacher something back, so he seemed to unintentionally mentioned his own analysis result: "Teacher, I heard that one of the masters in the'Poly Scholar' potion formula The material is the "heart of the tree of the elders." As for other things, I haven't "inquired" out yet."

Detective Isinger was taken aback when he heard the words. He even paused for the action of the smoking pipe. Then he smiled comfortedly and nodded in response: "I know!" After speaking, he went through his own cabinet again. He took out a small box, pushed it in front of Abner, and said, "This is a commission payment for Miss Hugh, so you can pass it to her."

   "What is this?" Abner opened the box curiously and found a black ring with many messy patterns in it.

"This ring is called the'prejudgment ring', which can enhance the balance and coordination of the body, and can rely on intuition. UUreading www.uukanshu.com forms a picture in the mind to predict the next behavior of the target. For Xiu Miss, who has very accurate instincts, is an effective supplement to combat power. The negative effect is often unable to control facial expressions and make some funny facial expressions." Detective Isinger took the initiative to introduce.

   This ring is worth at least four or five hundred pounds. The teacher is really generous! But what's the matter for me to give Xio a ring? Wasn't it going to be a big brainstorm when Forsi saw it?

   1349, June 26, 3 pm

   Abner and Hugh, who had just stepped off the steam train, looked at the sky outside the platform. It was bright and clean, without the familiar fog over Backlund. The waves came in bursts, blowing away all the haze, and letting the high-altitude clouds roll and relax, arranged in various shapes, reflecting the golden red sunlight.

   This is Pritz Harbor, the largest and busiest port in the Kingdom of Ruen.

   Abner, wearing a delicate cocked hat on his head, carried a suitcase and a walking stick, followed by a simple disguise and tried to elevate himself a few centimeters. Together they rode in a carriage and arrived at the "Pritz Harbor Ticketing Company" located in the White Rose District of the port.

   This company is located in a rather old three-story building with a wooden sign posted on the door. It is written in Loen text:

"Precautions:

  "1. Observe order and queue up strictly;

  "2. Do not urinate or spit anywhere;

  " 3. If you have a dispute, please find the guard in the lobby;

   "4. Can not open canned wolffish in any room!"

   "Canned wolffish? What is that?" Hugh had never been to sea, and didn't even know this kind of terrible thing in sailor circles.

   However, before she could finish her words, Abner heard a ‘click’ from behind. It was the sound of the can opening...
