Mystery: Start with the Reader

v2 Chapter 28: Abner's Tips

In the cafe opposite the museum, Leonard, a handsome poet with black hair and blue eyes, watched Abner Brain get on the carriage and gradually walked away through the glass window. Then he buried his head and asked in a low voice:

"Old man, do you think there is something wrong with this new viscount?"

As soon as the words fell, the slightly old voice sounded in his mind:

"You are getting more and more impolite. In our day, disrespecting the high-ranking people meant that you would become a sacrifice for living sacrifices."

After complaining, Paleston paused before continuing:

"There is a problem for sure... Otherwise, how could he become a demigod directly from the sequence in less than a year? But he should have nothing to do with your investigation."

"You said last time in Bayam that he reminded you of an old friend? You also said that he might have inherited that one... You just don't want me to investigate him?" Leonard grumbled a few times. After the sentence, he said doubtfully: "But it's still very suspicious for such a big man to suddenly do a little-known exhibition!"

"Hehe, Prophet's actions are often unreasonable, but afterward he will find that things often develop in his favor..." Pallez Zoroaster said with a sigh.

"'Prophet'..." Leonard nodded thoughtfully. After the training of "Red Gloves", he already knew a lot about the pathways mastered by other churches and major organizations, and knew that this was the "Reader" pathway. Sequence 4, the formula is only in the hands of the Church of the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom".

He couldn't help but feel a little envious in his heart, after all, the speed of the opponent's improvement was exactly what he longed for.

With a sigh, Leonard seemed to feel a little hot, so he unbuttoned his collar and asked casually, "Since Abner Brain has become a 'prophet', it means that he is a member of the Church of Knowledge... But how did you become the scroller of the Mother Earth Goddess?"

"There's nothing strange about this, it's just that you have too little knowledge... In history, although there are not many cases of members of the Church of the God of Knowledge becoming **** scrollers of other churches, it still happens once every tens or hundreds of years...

"Speaking of which, this may have something to do with the arrogance of the 'readers', and they believe more in knowledge and wisdom itself, rather than the gods in this name.

"And the 'God of Knowledge and Wisdom' doesn't care much about this, as long as he doesn't do anything that harms the church, he will let it go.

"It turns out that this attitude is not a problem. Even if the organization is very loose, the cohesion of the Church of Knowledge is very good..." Pallez said with emotion.

Listening to the old man's detailed description, Leonard nodded, temporarily letting go of his doubts about Abner.

At this moment, an ordinary night watchman pushed open the door and walked into the cafe, came to Leonard's side, whispered a few words in his ear, and then turned to leave.

"Felina suddenly received an invitation from Stewart to go on vacation to Dixie Bay, and went on a romantic, walk-away trip?!"

After Leonard repeated the information, he was wary and puzzled: "Why did she suddenly leave Backlund when I wanted to investigate her?

"And the deaths of her previous husbands, and her luck in picking out antiquities...

"It's all 'coincidence'!

"Hey, if it wasn't for Stuart, because of the Church of the Storm, I would have brought her back to the company for interrogation!"

Having said that, he tilted his head again and asked, "Old man, what do you think?"

"It's really a 'coincidence'...but her 'coincidence' should just be because of 'lucky', and it has nothing to do with '0-08', you don't have to worry about it."

Leonard was stunned for a second and said:

"Old man, are you familiar with '0-08'?"

It's never been shown before!

Pallez's slightly old voice laughed:

"Of course I'm very familiar with it. In the Fourth Epoch, '0-08' caused the fall of angels.

"I can't tell you too much, because, when you know it, it knows you, and the more you know about it, the more likely you are to be part of the story."

From the words of the old man Hanhan Huhu, Leonard really tasted the horror of "0-08", which has surpassed the mysticism he can understand!

"Then why didn't you tell me before I investigated?" Leonard asked habitually after thinking for a moment.

Seeing the question, Pales Zoroaster laughed and said in a low voice:

"Human, you have to have experience in order to grow."

"..." Leonard was speechless for a while.

The City of Silver, inside the round tower.

Derrick Berg met Colin Inriart, chief of the "Six-Man Council" again.

He clearly remembered that nearly seventy "days" ago, the other party told him that in about two months, he would have a mission to go out to explore, and he had to be prepared.

In the past two months, with the help of patrol missions and hard practice, Derrick has completely mastered the various extraordinary abilities of the "Sun Priest", and it is not too far from digesting.

What he hopes most now is to obtain the potion formula of Sequence 6 of the "Sun" pathway in the next two to three Tarot gatherings to lay the foundation for his continued improvement.

"Afternoon Town..." When he heard the destination of this mission from the chief, Derrick was stunned for a while, and then he saw the other party's almost "clear" gaze, and he felt a little enlightened:

The chief wants him to report this matter to Mr. Fool and inform the great existence that the City of Silver has already explored the direction of the Giant Royal Court according to her wishes.

After all, Afternoon Town was the only way for the Kingdom of Silver to go to the Giant King's Court. There, humans and giants lived together in the town, surrounded by the residence of the ancient gods, which was forever fixed at dusk, just like the last gate from the real world to the myths and legends.

Such a place must be very dangerous, and the chief also hopes to get some support or tips.

"I, need, a quiet room." Derrick said carefully.

Colin Inriart seemed to be ready, raised his finger and pointed to the corridor:

"There are a lot of rooms with the door open opposite, you can choose one by yourself."

"Yes, Your Excellency." Derrick saluted and exited, found an unoccupied room at random, locked the wooden door, sat down, and whispered a prayer in a dark corner, his eyes glowing slightly.

"Future", a spacious room with attached bathroom.

Klein, who had just stepped on the "Star Bridge" and boarded the flagship of "Admiral Star" at the port, stood by the window and looked at the undulating blue ocean outside, breathing in a complicated mood. A cold wind blowing from the north.

Recalling the "Toxin Expert" Frank Lee and "Bloodless" Heath Doyle he just met, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he always felt that there seemed to be no normal people on Cattleya's ship...

In comparison, Miss Jane, who talks a lot, is not so "prominent".

Just thinking of this, Klein suddenly heard an ethereal prayer in his ears, so he retracted his thoughts, entered the bathroom, and came above the gray fog, and soon heard Mr. Sun's prayer.

"Afternoon Town? Hope I can give support... How do I know where that place is? You should ask Liu Bo about this! I remember that once in his life, he came to the Land Forsaken by God."

Klein, who was deeply troubled, pondered for a moment, then gritted his teeth and directly forwarded "Sun"'s request to "Tower".

Backlund, inside the villa at 28 Kinster Street.

Abner had just brought Fanny and Yin Lian back from Intis, and was discussing the political situation in Trier and the company's development strategy with the ladies through the banquet.

At this moment, a boundless gray fog appeared in front of his eyes.

After a while, he came back to his senses and continued to chat with the ladies about the previous topic, only muttering a few words in his heart:

afternoon town? That place and the kingdom of night are actually similar in essence to the town of "Kabas" that I entered in Professor Michelle's dream... As long as the spiritual body is pulled into the space above the gray fog by Mr. Fool, it will be safe .

However, Klein actually directly forwarded "The Sun"'s request... He is becoming less and less pretending...

Dong Dongdong, the knock on the door echoed in the chief room at the top of the round tower.

And long before this voice sounded, Colin Inriart already knew that Derrick Berg opened the door and walked towards this side.

"Come in." He turned around, towards the entrance.

Derrick pushed in the door and gave a salute:

"Your Excellency, I got some hints."

Colin Inriart nodded calmly and said:

"What is it?"

"First, the monsters in Afternoon Town are afraid of strong light; second, in the real Afternoon Town, be careful of the 'strange Afternoon Town' that will fall into after being triggered..." Derrick said here, paused, and used Abner's tone continued, "Once you fall into it, you'd better recite the honored name immediately: Fools who do not belong to this era..."

Early on Thursday morning, after Abner sent Fanny, who was sleeping alone, back to Intis, he did not rush back to Backlund, but drove to a single room in a rather remote cafe.

Soon, "Black Knight" Sero, whose fate was occupied by the former Pope of "Eternal Blazing Sun", walked out of the shadows and sat opposite him after salute.

"My lord, the Prime Minister of the Delian family, seems to be going crazy."
