"Failed again..."

With the sound of a sigh, Mr. Surrey with a straight white shirt and a tight brown vest appeared near the dark figure and removed his camouflage.

It turned out to be a mechanical doll with an extremely smooth surface.

Different from those around with six-barrel machine guns, this puppet is very special in terms of material. Just looking at the color, it looks like obsidian, and the internal bubble-like structure forms a "snowflake" effect.

Abner was not surprised by this. Through the "magic mirror", he knew early on that the black figure was not a "human"!

"Is this made from the shards of the 'Shadow Stone'? As far as I know, the 'Shadow Stone's Heart' is one of the main ingredients of the 'Hermit' potion... The shards of this stone are indeed Excellent material for carrying 'Shadow' spells.

"Mr. Surrey is trying to make a 'Sneak' type mechanical doll?"

While speculating in his mind, Abner watched with interest as Mr. Surrey removed the doll's head to check what went wrong.

After looking at it for a while, Abner roughly guessed the problem: the detection capabilities of those defensive mechanical dolls mainly come from two aspects: thermal induction and sound waves, while the other doll that can "hide in the shadow" relies on "shadow" The characteristics of the "stone" material itself can isolate heat and sound waves... But its shape is too irregular, with sharp corners and planes everywhere, which should be the main reason why it will be "discovered" by its peers...

After all, the doll is not a real "hermit", and the use of extraordinary abilities is not flexible enough.

Seeing that Mr. Sarri couldn't find the essentials for a while, Abner thought for a while, released the "invisibility" effect of the "psychological" level in "Evans' Hidden Barrier", and pointed with a smile:

"Why does it have to keep its 'human' shape? Those arms, legs, and even the head are just for decoration, completely superfluous, aren't they?"

He came here to remind Mr. Surrey and Fanny of the possible dangers, and since they encountered it and no outsiders were present, he simply showed up.

Hearing the sudden words, Mr. Surrey was shocked. All three extraordinary items on his body were about to be activated. At the same time, the "ceremony" alert level of the villa was also raised to the highest level.

To his astonishment, the six-barrel puppets turned a blind eye to the intruder and didn't seem to notice him at all.

"Don't get excited, Mr. Surrey..." Abner used the method of "psychiatrist" while speaking, which calmed the other party's emotions unconsciously.

Cotton Surrey calmed down, looked at the intruder carefully, frowned and said, "Mr. Abner Brain?"

"It's me... I'm taking the liberty to come here, please forgive me..." Abner took out the Roselle's diary booklet that he had prepared before coming here - it was handed over to the other party at the dinner a few months ago. His, at this time, was taken out to prove that he was not pretending.

Mr. Surrey took a few glances and confirmed that it was the brochure he sent out. He was a little relieved, but he was still quite cautious: "Mr. Brian, you really gave me a big surprise..."

After a pause, he asked again, "You sneak in like this, and then show up on your own initiative, what's the important thing?"

Abner nodded. Just as he was about to respond, a voice full of surprise came from his ear: "Abner? Did you go back to Backlund?"

Looking at the prestige, I saw a lady with long chestnut hair appearing at the entrance of the stairs, it was Miss Fanny.

She wore tight breeches made of muslin in a spacious beige long dress and a pair of black boots. This dress did not affect her movement, but also highlighted her good figure, looking charming and capable.

She obviously came down to help her grandfather without thinking because she sensed that the ceremonial alert level of the villa had increased...

Should it be called a "barbarian"? If we cannot rely on laws and rules, we should use force to solve it? Abner's eyes were unconsciously attracted for a moment. He thought about it for a while, but he didn't shy away. He looked at Fanny generously before saying hello with a smile: "Fanny, long time no see."

——For an Intis girl, it is an insult to look away from her.

"Long time no see." After Fanny responded, she wanted to get close to Abner, but she immediately noticed that the scene seemed to be a little subtle, so she couldn't help but stop again, frowned and asked:

"Grandfather, what happened?"

"Then you have to ask Mr. Detective... His visit is not very formal, he broke into the villa illegally..." Mr. Surrey laughed "hehe", and now he also saw that Abner really did not Malicious, but also eased the atmosphere a little, but the alert level of the "ceremony" is still in a state of being stimulated at any time.

Breaking In? This is a bit like the dream that day... Fannie didn't know what to think when she heard the words, her face climbed a little red, and she asked with some restraint: "Abner, why didn't you have a 'notice' sent to visit first? "

Miss... I know what you're thinking, and the "magic mirror" of your dream that day was played back to me... But ~lightnovelpub.net~ I'm not here to recreate the scene in my dream...

Abnerelli, who simulated the ability to read minds, complained a few words, but explained on the surface: "It was Emma who wrote to me saying that you may be in danger, so I will come to confirm the source of the danger. ."

When he had finished, he threw Emma's letter to Fanny and taught her how to read it.

"It's really Emma's handwriting... Moreover, this 'encryption' method is also what she is used to." Fanny confirmed that the letter was genuine, but then fell into confusion again, "But I'm not in danger..."

At this time, Mr. Surrey, who was watching on the sidelines, suddenly said, "This is not a place to entertain guests... Come with me."

After he finished speaking, he picked up the pitch-black puppet, then manipulated other machines to surround Abner and Fanny faintly, and then led the way in front of him.

They crossed the corridor and quickly entered a room at the back of the villa with a thick heavy metal door.

"That's the steam workshop that my grandfather built." Fanny introduced in a low voice. Due to the distance between the mechanical dolls, she and Abner kept a certain distance.

Abner nodded, opened the "Pure White Eye" and looked at it, and found that Mr. Sarri's workshop was much less sophisticated than Mr. Gaston's and his own, but its scale was far superior... its power core The power is also much stronger than theirs.

After the three of them entered the workshop, Mr. Surrey opened the surrounding barriers again. At this time, he seemed to be really relieved of Abner, and let the mechanical puppets retreat to the side, and said with consideration:

"Recently, our Surrey family has suffered a lot of inexplicable difficulties in Trier, and it seems that some people have deliberately targeted...

"I guess that's where the 'Fanny's Danger' that Miss Emma referred to probably came from."
