Mystery: Start with the Reader

v2 Chapter 692: Owen's goal

"The danger comes from Intis?" Abner frowned, suddenly remembering what Hugh had mentioned about Baron Larry's collusion with the embassy attache Bianca, and then had an association: Could it be Intis? Do you want Mr. Surrey to take the pot? Fanny's danger is just incidental?

With this thought in mind, Abner also threw this guess out.

After listening to Mr. Surrey, he smiled disapprovingly: "Our Surrey family holds several seats in the parliament and is very influential... Even if we look for a scapegoat, we will not find us, because it requires paying The price is too great.

"After all, there is another saint of the Church of Steam who is also surnamed Sarri. The strength of the family is not weak in Intis."

After the assassination of the previous ambassador, even if the former angel family, the Sauron family, took the opportunity to make trouble, they just wanted to use Mr. Surrey to suppress his son's rising momentum, and never considered overthrowing the entire Surrey family. Political resources and economic interests are too large, and it is easy to bring backlash.

Based on this consideration, Mr. Surrey only felt that the danger mentioned by Emma might be some kind of subversive trick of the political enemy.

Seeing that he was very confident in his family, Abner thought about it and felt that it was right. There were so many suitable scapegoats, and there was no need for Intis to use a family with a saint.

In other words, is Fanny's danger really just a dirty trick of political strife?

After reaching a preliminary conclusion on this matter, Abner took the opportunity to make a request to borrow the "workshop" - after all, in a sense, this was the main purpose of his visit to Mr. Surrey.

In this regard, Mr. Surrey graciously agreed, not only allowing Abner to use some of the auxiliary materials kept in the workshop, but also leaving his granddaughter Fanny as Abner's assistant.

This arrangement allows the young people to exchange more feelings and fulfills the granddaughter's wish; secondly, the workshop is the safest place in the whole villa, even if there is an enemy invasion, it will not be able to break through here for a while, Fanny Staying here is safe.

After blinking at his granddaughter, Mr. Surrey returned to his workshop with the pitch-black robotic doll and continued to study.

As for Abner's previous suggestion? He didn't plan to adopt it at all... After all, "'Humanoid mecha' is the romance in the hearts of every 'generalist'!" - Excerpted from "Quotations of Emperor Roselle", Volume 6, Section 1.

In the workshop, Fanny gave Abner a hand, and her eyes were bright: "Abner, you can come as soon as you hear that I will be in danger... I am very happy. ."

"We are friends... Friends are in danger, and I have the ability to help. Naturally, I won't 'put my hands in my sleeves and watch'." Abner took out the various materials he had prepared, while familiarizing himself with the workshop's facilities, while answering casually.

These are the famous words of Emperor Roselle, but... are they just friends? Fanny bit her lower lip, and when she was a little unwilling, she suddenly saw Abner put a transparent lady's white robe and a special box on the workbench.

She was a little curious, and just wanted to ask a question, but she heard the other party take the lead: "Excuse me...how does the power core here drive?"

Can't let me boil water by myself?

"It's enough to activate those flame runes..." Fanny replied with a slightly strange expression.

Isn't this the infrastructure of the steam workshop? The workshops I've seen are all prepared like this...

Did Abner's workshop in Bayam have a different heating device?

...

West District, Intis Embassy, ​​in the special envoy's bedroom.

As soon as Katarina the White Saint saw the special envoy Mr. Owen walking in from the outside, under the influence of a certain force, she had to look at the other party frantically, as if the other party was her everything.

Although she could clearly perceive the abnormality of her emotions in her reason, she still could not control her behavior.

The other party's order cannot be violated, the other party's task must be completed...

The "Saint of White" who has lived for more than 1,500 years has never seen such a difficult and domineering Sealed Artifact.

She had seized the opportunity to pray to Primordial before, asking Him to send grace to help her get rid of this influence, but unfortunately, she could not get any response.

And after that, Owen added "commands" that kept her from even trying to get out of her control.

"Fortunately, as long as you stay away from that Sealed Artifact and don't see Owen anymore, this frenzy will gradually subside...

"It's just that if the 'order' cannot be violated, I will return to him sooner or later..."

Katerina calmly pondered the countermeasures in her mind, but her body actively cooperated with Owen's "exploration", and pieces of clothing fell off her body...

After some strenuous exercise, Special Envoy Owen stroked the satin-like skin of the White Maiden with one hand, while the other hand opened the metal box that the other party handed in as soon as he came back.

In the box is a pair of eyeballs made of various color blocks, which are mysterious and deep, giving people the feeling of insight into everything.

It really is the "Eye of Asmo"! Owen was overjoyed when he saw it, and subconsciously recalled the relevant information about this material in his mind:

Asmo is a race of astral creatures with blond hair and unusual beauty. They are calm, kind, and known for their "insight" of various rules. They are often the assistants or apostles of gods or angels in the kingdom of true gods. .

It is said that a traveler who has strayed into the astral world, as long as he is favored by Asmo and completes its test, will give you his own eyes to help you return to the real world.

"For this thing, you don't hesitate to give up a lot of benefits, connect all parties, 'reasonably' destroy a family with a long history, hide its whereabouts... and let me kill a saint of the Steam Church... It's crazy!" Katarina's face was still frantic and her body was still cooperative, but her tone was full of ridicule.

Owen sneered:

"What do you know? The 'Eye of Asmo' is one of the main materials of the Sequence 3 'Insighter' of the 'Reader' pathway...

"If I don't hide my true purpose and let the news leak out, I'm afraid it will attract many competitors!"

Having said that, he sighed again and continued:

"Hey! The 'Dream Weaver' has no clues in terms of properties or materials for many years, so I can only risk jumping to the adjacent path...

"At this time, since I knew the whereabouts of one of the main materials, the 'Eye of Asmo', the other main material also happened to have eyes.

"Except for the troublesome ceremony, all the conditions are about to be completed... How can you say that I can't help it?

"So, blame the old guy from the previous generation of the Surrey family for being favored by Asmo!"

Hearing his answer, Katerina felt cold in her heart. After all, the other party could tell her such confidential information without any scruples~lightnovelpub.net~ This is definitely not trust, but it is not intended to let her free at all. ...

Although Katerina never trusted the other party to fulfill her promise, this reality still made her quite angry.

But she is the "Witch of Ageless" who has lived for more than a thousand years, and she quickly pretended not to hear anything and asked: "I have already helped you kill the saint of the Steam Church and retrieve that material, what are you doing? When did you really let me go?"

Owen smiled and replied perfunctorily: "We made a contract before, but you can only get freedom after you help me collect all the potion materials... This is only one piece."

After speaking, he also squeezed the soft side of Katarina as a gesture.

"You... what is the other material? Do you have any definite clues?" Katerina asked with a deep breath.

"The other main material is the 'complete brain of the mist demon'.

"I didn't know its whereabouts...

"But the mist displayed by the Royal Loen Royal Family's Vera when he clashed with the 'Pride' is very similar to that of the 'Mist Demon'!

"I plan to wait a few more days, after the influence of the smog has passed, I will make a marriage request to Ruen.

"If I can succeed, I will have enough confidence to take her down when she is not prepared! Of course, this requires your cooperation.

"If Loen refuses to marry, I will also look for a suitable opportunity to unite Arrogance and you to control the princess together!"

Owen had nothing to hide from Katrina, telling his entire plan.

After all, in his cognition, it was impossible to get rid of being controlled by that Sealed Artifact, and the "Saint of White" would only be his possession until she died.

It's just that the negative effects are too hard to resist... If it goes on like this, even if He helps seal it, I can't stand it...

Must be promoted to Sequence 3 as soon as possible!
