Mystery: Start with the Reader

v2 Chapter 5: Curiosity kills...

Looking at Xio who showed complex emotions, Abner remembered the "Luen-style" implicit in the original book, and did not answer directly, but only laughed:

"Don't be envious, you will soon catch up with me."

——Just a few days ago, Xiu's "ceremony" application report was finally approved by the military high-level, and a Beirot Mountain Ape Nest was opened to her, and she relied on the chaos and disorder rules in the Mountain Ape's nest. , successfully resisted the impulse of "self-discipline" after taking the potion, and became the "Knight of Discipline" of Sequence 5.

Abner is really a demigod... Xio suddenly remembered the promise of a "demi-god" with Abner when they traveled together. At that time, she still felt that the existence of "demi-god" was very far away from her. , and never even reach...

But how long has it been? In just ten months, Abner has already opened the door of the saints and obtained the divine nature... and I am already a Sequence Five Beyonder...

Maybe in a few years, I will be able to truly understand the truth of my father's wrongful death!

Regarding what happened to her father, although Hugh used the convenience of a full member of MI9 to secretly investigate some fur, and she also had some guesses, her intuition was still far from the truth, after all, it could make Abner and Vera Things that His Highness chose to keep silent about were obviously not that simple.

"I don't have the confidence to follow in your footsteps... After all, even His Highness is a demigod that I collected by myself. It's unlikely that I can get materials from MI9, even if I make a lot of credit..." Xio first laughed at himself, then adjusted his emotions and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Abner... Besides, since you have succeeded, shouldn't it be time to invite a guest to celebrate?"

"It is natural to invite guests. I have already prepared for this... After all, for my ceremony, many people have provided help..."

That is, if people are divided into batches, if they are all called together, I have a premonition that something bad will happen.

Abner murmured something in his heart, then changed the subject and said in a meaningful way, "Actually, it's not that you have no material for promotion to a demigod."

Xiu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then realized something, and asked back, "You mean the 'Ghost Empire'?"

"That's right, it's been less than two months since the next 'Ghost Empire' 'entry into the port'. You hurry up to digest the current 'Knight of Retribution', maybe you will have the opportunity to be promoted to a demigod at that time." Abner smiled and nodded.

"No one knows what's hidden in the 'Ghost Empire'..." Xio shook his head, not fantasizing about uncertain things. "What's more, the ritual of the 'Law Mage' is not so easy to complete."

Although I don't know what treasures lie in the depths of the "Empire of Ghosts", but "Giuseppe Castilla" died there, and he... well, the "law mage" characteristic of "I" must still be...

Abner took it in his mind, and on the surface he recalled the 'Inquisitor Card' he had seen before, and thoughtfully said: "The promotion ceremony of the 'Law Mage' requires the enactment of a decree in a town of at least 10,000 people. And rules, and let everyone agree and obey from the heart?"

"Yes... Without official cooperation, this ceremony is difficult to complete..." Xio sighed.

"Actually it's not difficult... You know, I'm about to be named 'Viscount Beldan'. There are many towns under the city, so it shouldn't be difficult to design it." Abner instantly had several ideas in his mind. He continued, "In addition, if I don't want to attract official attention, I actually have a hereditary baron title in Segal, and I also have a territory... but the population may not be enough to ten thousand."

Segal's baron title came from the original "Apostle of Light" Balu, and the main legacy he left to Abner was this title purchased with money.

Of course, if necessary, Abner can use the identity of "Giuseppe Castilla" to return to Fenepot to succeed the Count of Sevia... but this is more troublesome, even if he now owns all Giuseppe's Memories also need some tricks. After all, according to Crosfia, the current earl title has long been inherited by Giuseppe's younger brother.

"Let's talk about this after you really get the demigod characteristics." Xio waved his hand, apparently not paying much attention, but Abner's attention to this matter still caused the corners of her mouth to curl up unconsciously.

After the two chatted a few more times, a staff member came to knock on the door, informing them that the banquet was about to start.

Speaking of which, the film "Looking for the Laurel" had a very big impact on the audience, because unlike the previous "Roussell Gustaf", although the film was well-made, it was actually similar to the same type of film. Dramas and operas have their own merits, but they are more realistic.

But this film is completely different, it is the first adventure film of this era!

For those who have never seen the vastness of the world and the ferocity of the sea, the visual stimulation is unparalleled!

In the end, Abner used "knowledge" to calculate the escape speed and angle, and successfully brought the "laurel" out of the "maelstrom", which has become an eternal classic, making people unforgettable.

After all, the news of Abner Braine's success in obtaining a knighthood by relying on the treasure made everyone think that what was told in the film was true.

Of course, only Abner and Krosfia, who was in charge of filming the material, knew that although there was no problem with the formula used for the calculation, the "Laurel" was actually distorted by Abner's "mutated Tudor badge", and then The "lazy" lady who turned into a giant dragon was dragged out...

And the bottom of the maelstrom is not simple, there is an underwater castle!

The legend of the underwater city has been circulated in the sea for thousands of years, but Abner, who found it personally, knew that the so-called "powerful monster" was not sealed in it as the story said... It was actually sealed in the "chaotic sea". Entrance! Just like the castle that seals the entrance to the "Chaos Sea" in the core area of ​​Delaire Forest.

This is also the reason why many Beyonders have tried to foretell the whereabouts of the Laurel for more than a hundred years, but they have never been successful... I just don't know how Roselle found it.

In short, just by looking at the excitement and enthusiasm of the audience after the premiere, we can also know that "Looking for the Laurel" has achieved unprecedented success.

Therefore, the banquet was naturally filled with praise and congratulations. The invited entrepreneurs and celebrities were all close to Abner, looking forward to working with this newcomer of Loen.

During the intertwining times, Abner continued to use his ability to "observe" the "River of Destiny" of the people present for a period of time. Although the results obtained by this unprepared and simple observation would not be too accurate, it still allowed him to Identify who can continue to work together and who should gradually distance themselves.

For example, a wealthy businessman who is talking to him is destined to have a financial crisis in the near future because of his adventurous character, and different "tributaries" are just a matter of losing more and losing less...

Therefore, Abner only vaguely mentioned the risks of some projects and let them step into a certain "tributary of destiny" with less loss, and said nothing more.

He did this, not simply acting, or showing kindness...

But to make up for the fate of the housekeeper who was with the rich merchant's wife.

This lady named Tanya went from the lowest maid to the head maid, and then followed the current rich merchant's wife to the rich merchant and became a housekeeper...

According to the development of the original book, after the wealthy businessman went bankrupt and fired her, she was introduced to Klein by Walter and became Dawn's housekeeper.

However, due to Abner's crossing, the current situation has long since changed, and the development of this lady's destiny has long been missed by Klein... In Abner's observation, there is a very likely "tributary" that is quite bleak, so he Only through the guidance of wealthy businessmen, he made up for it.

After becoming a "prophet", Abner still adheres to his principles of life: it's okay if he doesn't encounter it. Since he has encountered it and has the ability to change, he will lend a helping hand.

...

The second largest city on the island of Sunia, Jakobshavn.

After Klein walked out of the theater, he felt a little unfulfilled and sad.

What's more, it is naturally the content of the film that makes him, a modern person who has read countless films, hooked, because there are many exciting scenes in it that are very real, not like special effects at all...

Of course, in this world with extraordinary power, Klein also guessed that it might not really be a special effect.

The sad thing is that Mr. Tower's property of 3 million pounds was donated like that... just for a "Viscount" title with little real benefit.

Although he also knew that Mr. "Ta" was going to use this as a "ceremony", he couldn't make a fortune in silence, and it was actually quite the right choice to directly treat it as a donation.

After all, with such a large amount of property in hand, I don't know how many people and forces will have an idea. Even if Mr. "Ta" is not afraid, it will be very troublesome.

Not to mention the issue of the ownership of this property is actually difficult to define. The original owner of the "Guiwai", the Loen Sea Trade Company still exists!

At present, there is no international law that stipulates that the property salvaged on the high seas belongs to the discoverer... It's just the default of everyone. If it's serious, I'm afraid there will be a lawsuit.

It is the most time-saving and labor-saving decision to directly "donate" money to change titles like Mr. "Ta". It is estimated that the Augustus family, the largest shareholder of the Luen Sea Trade Company, can't bear to go back and forth. sue a newly sealed noble.

"But I still feel that Mr. Tower is at a loss... I worked so hard to kill so many pirates, and the money I made is not enough for this fraction."

After Klein was heartbroken over the prodigal behavior of his fellow villager, he went to a seafood store to buy a box of "canned wolf fish".

He originally planned to set off from the Rhosid Islands and go directly to the "White City" Nas, the capital of the Gargas Islands, where he waited for the "Future" to pick him up to go to the sea area of ​​"God War Ruins" that Abner said to look for mermaids.

The reason why he arrived at Sonja Island first was because the Gargas Islands were too far away from the mainland, and the theater line had not yet been laid, and he also wanted to contribute to Mr. Tower's ceremony, so he took a detour.

Now after watching the video~lightnovelpub.net~ he naturally wants to rush to Nas as soon as possible.

At this time, Klein remembered that the "Alchemist" who was recommended by "Fat Apothecary" Darkwell's teacher Roy King, who could upgrade the "Wriggling Hunger", also happened to live in Nath.

According to Roy King, the master known as "The Idiot of Nas", his favorite food is "canned wolf fish", so Klein wanted to buy some from Sunia Island by the way.

But when he was carrying the box and boarded the ship bound for Nath, a sailor saw the label on the box during a routine security check, causing everyone to move away quickly, and after keeping a distance of at least three meters from him... …

The corner of Klein's mouth twitched just now, remembering the horrible reputation of this kind of canned food.

"But the food that Miss Temperance sent to Sun also included canned wolf fish... But people in Silver City don't seem to reject it?"

Klein, who was both puzzled and curious, secretly opened a can in his first-class cabin that night, and then the crazy adventurer Gehrman Sparrow used great perseverance to control "Wriggling Hunger" to put the entire can. Swallow it, and after opening the window to ventilate, he ran to the deck with his mouth covered, squatted down against the railing, and retched silently...
