Mystery: Start with the Reader

v3 Chapter 102: Commission and Communication

After finalizing the three-way deal with Emlyn and Derrick, Abner looked around again and said with a smile:

"I have a mandate.

"I hope to get information on the remaining elves... As for the reward, it is my promise to create a 'Mid-Sequence' level extraordinary item for free.

"Of course, the grade of Beyonder items depends on the value of intelligence."

Elf? Did Mr. "Tower" make any deal with the "Queen of Scourge" in the town of "Kabas"? As soon as Audrey the Justice heard that the "Tower" was looking for the elves, she immediately connected the matter of the previous Abner night party in Goshinam.

Argel the Hanged Man also thought of this possibility. He took a deep look at the "Tower", not knowing what to think.

Cattleya the Hermit said with consideration: "After the cataclysm, the elves had been trapped on Sunia Island... But as time passed, this ancient extraordinary race was troubled by various factors and gradually disappeared. , with only occasional, sporadic appearances remaining to prove that they are not yet completely extinct...

"I can be sure that there are no elves on Sunia Island today... They are most likely hidden on a desert island somewhere in the sea that is not part of the shipping route.

"I can help you keep an eye on it."

Abner understood that when she said "attention", she meant asking the "Queen of Mysteries" or using the intelligence network of the "Moss Ascetic Order", so she nodded slightly and expressed her gratitude to Cattleya.

At this time, Sharon "Temperance" suddenly turned her head to look at Abner, and said in an ethereal voice, "I know a settlement of elves."

"Where?" Abner asked, feeling refreshed.

"Temperance" Sharon didn't answer immediately, but looked at the others.

This action is obvious. Abner didn't use "world" to translate, and he understood what she meant, so he smiled and said, "Just say it directly, you don't need to communicate alone."

"Temperance" Sharon looked at him and replied calmly without any waves:

"On the seabed about 500 nautical miles west of the port of Berens in West Balam...

"It's independent of the real world and requires special methods to get in."

The bottom of a certain sea area in West Balam? It's really hidden! Abner sighed in his heart, and then asked, "What method?"

"Every July 7th, there will be a bridge connecting the settlement and reality..." Having said this, Sharon paused, and after asking Mr. Fool's approval, she showed the appearance of a "wooden" galleon. The video, continued in a dispassionate voice, "700 years ago, it was necessary to cross the 'bridge' on a ship that could sail under the sea... Now, I don't know."

July 7th...Bridge...Is this gathering place built by me in my life? More than 700 years ago? Dennett Tinichole's pot?

As soon as Abner thought of this, he heard Argel the Hanged Man beside him staring at the image and muttering, "Trident?"

Although his voice was soft, the worst members of the Tarot Club present were also Sequence 7. Naturally, when they heard the word he uttered, they all focused their attention.

"My Healing Game"

Seeing this, Alger explained: "The 'Trident' is a ship often used by the 'Church of Storms' to perform covert missions. It can dive into the deep sea and cross the 'Furious Sea' without relying on the normal route...and its shape and this The images are the same.

"Well, the 'Trident' is rumored to have suddenly emerged from the bottom of the sea after the Twenty Years' War and appeared directly in the waters near Passu Island... and this ghost ship was not originally called 'Trident', but Another name that doesn't remain in any historical records."

In short, it is now in service with the "Church of Storms", and then raided the Fusac naval port, and those elite members are likely to take it to get close to Sunia Island.

It turned out to be the "Trident"... I remember a mention in Roselle's diary that Dennett relied on the "Trident" to escape from the Southern Continent to the Northern Continent... Moreover, after his "death" , the "sealed artifact" formed by his characteristics was also the "Church of Storms" sent by this ship.

From this point of view, 80% of the elven settlements were written by "I". Abner nodded secretly, then looked at Miss Temperance, and said with a smile, "Miss, the clues you provided are very useful to me... I wonder what kind of item you want?"

"You can change into someone else for a long time." Sharon answered succinctly.

Abner pinched his chin and thought to himself: This kind of thing that needs to be worn for a long time and changed into others, and the method of "giving" power with spiritual materials is not suitable... After all, the residual power in spiritual materials is limited, and the use of too much Frequently, I am afraid that it will take a long time for the items to be scrapped.

So at least you have to find the main material of "Faceless Man"... The cost is between 2,000 and 4,000 gold pounds...

Well, the specific whereabouts of an elf settlement, and the correct entry and exit time and method... This information is worth thousands of pounds.

As his thoughts turned, Abner nodded and said, "Yes, I will make it as soon as possible."

The "prophet" Thales of the Church of Knowledge has now reached a high level in the "Secret Order", and it is not a big problem to use "faceless people" as materials.

It's really not possible, and you can get back the "Crafty Mage" feature lent to Thales, and use the ability of "No Dark One" to separate the features layer by layer.

"Temperance" Sharon also nodded slightly, and then returned to the "puppet" state without any movement.

After a while of silence, Klein the Fool tapped the edge of the long mottled table, signaling the start of the free communication session.

Inside the ancient palace standing above the gray fog, Alger the Hanged Man turned his head and looked at the "sun" beside him and said:

"Are you still in afternoon town?"

Derrick nodded honestly, and answered this question in great detail. He also explained some details of setting up camps and cleaning roads, so that "Magician", "Justice", "Judgment", and even "Hermit" They all listened with interest.

Audrey the Justice raised her hand slightly and said:

"What do you rely on for food in the afternoon town for so long? Is there any black-faced grass nearby? Or is it the food around us that Miss Temperance provided before?"

"The main source of food is the hunted monsters. There are a lot of them. As long as they have Beyonder characteristics, are stripped of their skins, and burned with flames, there will be no problem... By the way, because of Mr. Tower's teaching With the secret technique given to us, the remaining mental pollution in the meat no longer poses a threat, so we can eat it with confidence." Derrick "Sun" answered Miss Justice's question earnestly, and then expressed to "Tower" Thank you, then turning to Miss Temperance, saluting her, and saying,

"Of course, we also brought a batch of 'canned wolf fish' provided by Miss 'Temperance' and the 'Black Flour Grass' powder from Silver City itself, but due to the limited quantity, we can only eat it once a day or two."

"Canned wolf fish"?

Hearing this word, the expressions of Cattleya the Hermit, Judgment Hugh, Alger the Hanged Man, and even Mr. Fool changed invisibly, and at the same time they threw at the Sun. Admiring look.

At the same time, several people more or less turned their attention to the puppet-like Miss Temperance, as if they had reacquainted her.

"Temperance" Sharron ignored the scrutiny of others, and only turned her head to look at the "world" where she started, and explained simply: "Long shelf life and cheap."

Audrey the Justice thought of Yin Silant's embarrassment at this moment, remembered Mr. Tower's previous description of the taste of "canned wolf fish", and compared with "Sun" when talking about this canned food, she felt that her previous guess should be Yes, Mr. Tower deliberately exaggerated.

She thought about it for a while, and asked again as if confirming: "I heard that the 'canned wolf fish' tastes bad. Some people will vomit just by opening the lid... You don't seem to have encountered such a situation?"

Derrick was silent for two seconds and said:

"'Canned wolf fish' does have a very pungent taste...but it is 'clean' meat, very clean meat that does not need to be purified with 'secret art'!"

Having said that, he subconsciously glanced at Emlyn the Moon, and then continued,

"In order to survive, we will even eat those monsters like vampires that are full of pus in the depths of the darkness... After all, we have no choice, we will eat as long as we can...

"Compared to them, the taste of 'wolf fish' is nothing to us at all... Some people even like it very much."

His voice gradually lowered, as if he had once again deeply felt the cursed tragedy that enveloped the entire City of Silver.

After listening to this answer, Emlyn completely forgot to correct that the other party was a vampire, not a vampire. His face turned green, and he had an indescribable sense of horror.

The giant's residence-like palace was silent again until the "world" broke the silence. He talked about the "mad captain" Connors Victor, and reminded everyone that this pirate had the "big smog" incident and the royal family. clues to a faction.

And everyone heard from the words of "World" that Mr. Fool has been sending him to investigate the root cause of the "big smog".

Hearing these words, Judgment Xio sat up straight. She thought for a while and looked at Abner, who was diagonally opposite. After seeing the other person shaking his head, she pursed her lips and did not ask Mr. Fool. Ask about your own father.

After that, Abner and Audrey had another "private chat", finalized the time and place to meet after the Tarot meeting, and asked her if she would mind having the "Queen of Mysteries" follow along.

Audrey pondered for a moment and felt that with the "lie" mask, the protection of Mr. Tower, and the protection of Mr. Fool, there was absolutely no need to be afraid of the eldest daughter of Emperor Roselle, so she nodded in agreement.

After this "private chat" ended, the free communication continued for a while before it was completely over.

Watching the others leave, Klein threw the few pages of the diary just now to Abner, announcing the official start of today's "small meeting".
