v2 Chapter 17: friends

Because what Klein said was not in a hurry, Abner quickly put it down and refocused his attention on the banquet.

——He plans to go to East Chester tomorrow to pick up the original manuscript of Roselle's manuscript. If there is still time, he will consider whether to go to Nath, the capital of the Gargas Islands.

It is said to be a celebration banquet, but Abner, who already knew that the "Seal of Disaster" was placed behind his "Pure White Eye", did not hold it so grandly or formally.

This is more like a dinner with friends than a banquet.

Seeing that everyone had almost eaten, Abner, the host, stood up, picked up a glass of "Olmir" red wine, and started to clink with friends one by one along the long table.

He came to the nearest Xiu first, had a drink with her, and said with a smile, "I seem to owe you a hot spring trip?"

"Just remember." Xio's tone was a little unkind, not only because of the other party's delay, but also because there was only milk in her glass.

"I always remember..." Abner smiled and whispered a few words in Hugh's ear, and then walked to Foersi with a wine glass, while Xio was a little stunned with the glass, before pouring the milk into his mouth after a while .

Forsi was more greedy. After clinking glasses with Abner, she drank all the wine in the glass and said:

"Sure enough, it is Olmir, the most famous wine, and the vintage is probably not too low... It tastes much better than the ones we drank when we were in Intis, and each level has different feelings..."

"If you had left a few days late, when I officially entered the upper circle of Trier, there would be no shortage of wines of this grade." Abner poured her another glass, clinking the glasses again, "Welcome Return to Backlund, Miss Forth Wall."

"You were the one who saw me off in Trier, and now it's you who welcomed me back to Backlund... Why does it feel a little strange..." Forsi groaned, but did not reject the "Old Man" who filled the cup. Ermir," and drank it again.

At this time, Abner took out a string of bracelets made of several stones from his pocket, stuffed it into Foersi's hand, bent down, and said with a low laugh, "This is a gift for you."

"Gift?" Fo Ersi glanced down and felt that the pattern on the stone was familiar. "What is it for? Is it an ornament?"

"This is a 'teleportation stone' that can be teleported to a designated location in a critical situation, and can be used three times at present..."

After a brief introduction, Abner didn't wait for Fors to react, and continued to walk towards Hazel, but the corners of his mouth twitched when he turned his back.

If I knew Abner would give me this, why would I pay for that badge at the Tarot Club? Holding the bracelet, Forsi couldn't help laughing at himself.

Xio, who had witnessed all this throughout the whole process and knew the cause and effect clearly, glanced back and forth between Fors and Abner, and finally sighed.

On the other hand, Harule, although not very old, is already a social adult, so he also poured himself a glass of white wine. At this time, when Abner came over, he took the initiative to raise the glass.

After celebrating the big sales of "Russell Gustav" and "Looking for the Laurel", Hazel was a little reserved, and a little proudly said to Abner: "My 'Scammer' potion digested It's over."

"Does this sentence count as a 'fraud'?" Abner made a joke first, then raised his face and warned solemnly, "When you become a 'deciphering scholar', you must be more careful... I often stay in the Harvest Church..."

"Why?" Hazel was puzzled.

Because after your path is in the middle sequence, part of it often becomes a sealed object, and part of it becomes Amon... Abner thought so in his heart, but on the surface he followed the principle of "keeping knowledge" and explained simply:

"You can understand that all Beyonders in the Thief pathway have a common enemy... So, even your former demigod teacher has been hiding."

Hazel nodded thoughtfully and said seriously, "I understand."

Seeing this, Abner frowned, because he found that the most probable "tributary" in Hazel's "River of Destiny" still had an intersection with a certain clone of Amon, and did not change his mind because of his warning. Deflected...

The current Hazel is not as ignorant and arrogant as in the original book, and still pays great attention to my words... Then, if it is not her subjective problem... Is it because of the extraordinary aggregation? Or for some reason I don't know yet...

I didn't expect her and Amon to have a "destiny" relationship!

Sighing secretly, Abner decided to find another opportunity to deflect Hazel's fate in the future. After all, the environment here was not right, and he didn't dare to open the "Pure White Eye".

After that, Abner clinked glasses with the inventor Raypard, the reporter Mike, and Benson, who had only become a public servant not long ago, and thanked them for their help to his film and television company.

Among them, Reppard, as the main inventor of the audio projector, received a large dividend;

And reporter Mike registered a new pseudonym, began to write professional film reviews, and became the director of the public opinion department established by the film and television company.

——After getting Prince Edsack's shares in the Daily Observer, Abner, Vera and Hazel already have absolute control over the newspaper, and it is normal to second Mike to be the head of the department. .

As for Benson, although he only became an employee of the Ministry of Finance, he still played a certain role in the simultaneous release of previous films. At least the financial support for the establishment of public theaters in some small towns can be passed so quickly. 's credit.

After chatting a few words with the men, Abner came to Melissa.

The young lady was young, so Mrs. Scudder prepared juice for her.

After briefly touching the cup, Melissa pursed her lips and whispered, "I will try my best to return the money for the 'potion' material to you..."

With the help of Hazel, she successfully prepared the materials sent by Abner's messenger into a potion, and is now a Sequence 9 "Communicator".

The **** testified that when she learned from Hazel that the potion of Sequence 9 was worth 400 gold pounds, the whole person was stunned.

You know, before Klein died, his salary in a year might have been only so much...and Benson was even less!

This is only Sequence 9... Melissa has a hard time imagining the price of the follow-up potion.

It was actually bought by your brother, I just handed it over... Abner grunted in his heart, but on the surface he just smiled and did not reject the girl's persistence. .

Whether it's good for her or her own film and television company...a win-win situation.

...

After the banquet was over, except for Xio and Forsi, the rest of the guests said goodbye and left.

Only after leaving the villa at No. 28 Kingster Street did Benson have the opportunity to be alone with his sister. After chatting for a while, he suddenly asked unintentionally:

"Melissa, what did you say to Mr. Viscount Brian?"

Melissa stopped and stared at her brother's head for a while, until she couldn't help but raise her hand to straighten her hair, and then she said seriously:

"I'm discussing with Abner why he is so attractive to girls, but my brother is not..."

This... Benson was at a loss for words, but he asked, "What did he say?"

"Abner said, you need to take care of yourself...especially your hairline!" Melissa stared at the top of her brother's head, earnestly.

Benson's expression suddenly became very complicated. He opened his mouth and spit out a sentence: "I read the newspaper before and said that there is a thing called Donningsman tree sap, which may be effective for hair growth..."

Hearing this, Melissa finally couldn't hold back, she burst out laughing, and said, "I'm joking... How could I ask Abner such a question."

Benson was instantly petrified, and after a long while he said helplessly, "Melissa, when did you learn to speak like this?"

"You said before, 'What's the difference between someone who doesn't understand humor and a curly-haired baboon?'" Melissa glanced at him casually~lightnovelpub.net~ and asked, "Am I bad?"

"Very good! I mean, this is what I want you to be! It seems that you are very happy with the people from the film and television company." Benson said with relief.

How long had he not seen his sister so happy since Klein passed away? Although this may have been brought by the careless detective, I still have to thank him... What should I do if there is a conflict?

Melissa saw the joy and contradiction in her brother's heart, and raised the corners of her mouth, thinking:

"Come on, come on! I have stepped into Klein's former world...

"I will definitely find out the real cause of his death!"

...

Inside the bedroom on the third floor of Villa 28 Kinster Street.

Abner, who had just taken a bath and changed his clothes, was about to take a rest, but at this moment, he heard a knock on the door.

As soon as he sensed it, he realized that it was Xio standing outside the door.
