Chapter 4 Acquaintance
The morning sun shone and the crimson faded, and looking at the golden yellow that poured into the room through the window, Abner thumped his stiff shoulders and sat up.
He was in a good mood at this time, although the continuous opening of the pure white eye made his spirit a little bad, but after this night's hard work (coma), he finally completely analyzed the "reader" potion formula.
The Reader, Sequence 9
Main materials: a pair of pupils of a Garol fish, 15g of brain slices of Manhaas monkeys
Auxiliary materials: 80 ml of pure water, 10g of nematophyl powder, 1 petal of pure white elf flower, 10 drops of calamus juice
”
The Garol fish should not be a rare species, after all, even the original owner as an ordinary person has heard of it, but he has never seen it, and the pupils of this fish should not be difficult to get in the extraordinary circle...... As for the Manhaas monkey, it seems to be a monster from a horror story in the inherited memory, but since the pure white eye has been resolved, it means that this kind of monster really exists...... Well, go back and ask in the Extraordinary Circle.
As for where to find the Extraordinary Circle, Abner also had a plan, after all, he had been thinking about how to sell a few copies of the potion recipes that were detailed in the novel, so as to improve his quality of life and raise funds to buy materials.
According to the information recorded in the novel "The Master of Mysteries", there are two extraordinary gatherings that are relatively safe during this time period. One is an information and material exchange meeting frequented by Hugh and Firth and organized by Mr. Aurora Society; The other is the extraordinary trade fair organized by the old gentleman "Eyes of Wisdom", which the protagonist of the original book Klein came into contact with.
For these two gathering circles, Abner prefers to attend the latter. First, as the organizer of the party, the real identity of the old gentleman of the "Eye of Wisdom" is the well-known detective Isenger Stanton, who has a relationship with the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, and is considered a small half of the official personnel in the Kingdom of Rune, and his character is also passable, compared to the Aurora God who will go crazy at every turn; Second, the novel "The Master of Mystery" records in detail the location and time of the "Eye of Wisdom" party, which is much easier to find than the Aurora Trade Fair with a few sentences; In the end, behind the Aurora Society is an evil god who is willing to make trouble, and Abner, who has a golden finger, is actually quite weak-minded, and he doesn't want to expose his secret to the real creator too soon.
"Well, it's almost eight o'clock, so let's go out and buy a copy of the Beckland Morning Post and see if there's been a party lately. If not, I'm afraid I'll have to work a job to earn money first, and I only have 1 pound and 5 soles left in my pocket, not to mention buying materials, I'm afraid that even eating will be a problem in a few days. Gathering his thoughts, Abner packed up his ritual materials, washed up a little, and went out.
Then he bought a copy of the Beckland Morning Post from a newsboy on the street, and went straight to the fifth page, where he saw an advertisement, an advertisement for the Engst firm to buy goods! This is the code of the "Wisdom Eye" in the novel to inform the party!
"That's a coincidence, well, let me take a closer look...... The quotations are 8p per liter for flour, 1 suler/pound for butter, 7p per pound for lard, 1 suler for cream and 3p per pound for cream, and 8 suller/pound for marquis black tea tea...... That is to say, tomorrow night at eight o'clock there will be a gathering of extraordinary people, and the opening code is 8 heavy taps, 1 tap, and the interval is 7 long and 1 short, in turn...... The 3 and 8 in the back don't make sense......"
Abner sorted out the content according to the interpretation method personally said by the "Eye of Wisdom" in the novel, and his heart suddenly felt a little excited, feeling that his luck was really good, at least he didn't have to go to work.
With joy, he came to the restaurant where he had breakfast yesterday again, and as soon as he pushed the door open, he couldn't help but be stunned. Because at this time there was a conflict in the restaurant.
It would be inaccurate to say that it was a conflict, and Abner was greeted by a girl with messy hair and a height of only 1.5 meters, and three burly men with a height of more than 1.8 meters. But what was surprising was that the three big men were lying on the ground with blue noses and swollen faces at this time, while the girl grabbed one of the big men by the collar with a calm face and asked, "Who told you to come and arrest me?" ”
Although she was not tall, the majesty on her body was extremely strong, and even the restaurant waitress who was not close couldn't help but take a few steps back. Unexpectedly, although the big man who was questioned was covered in sweat, he withstood this majesty and did not reveal anything.
Abner was very surprised when he saw this scene, these people were obviously ordinary people, otherwise they would not be able to beat Miss "Trial", who had just been promoted to Sequence 9...... So, how do they resist extraordinary abilities?
Although he was a little curious, Abner obviously didn't intend to delve into it, he was only half an extraordinary person now, and he didn't think he was capable of getting involved in such things.
"But I've met Hugh here for two days in a row, and it's fate, why don't you get to know each other in a while?" Abner thought.
Hugh also spotted Abner walking into the dining room, and although she was a little vigilant, most of her energy was spent interrogating the three gangsters. Although she was surprised by the failure of her ability, her rich experience made her immediately change the way of questioning and change to the "physical" method!
As the three of them screamed for a while, they finally couldn't resist Hugh's "majesty" and began to confess. It turns out that these three people are Hick, an adviser to Rosen the "two-faced".
This adviser named Sigg is the "two-faced man" Rosen who took refuge in about seven or eight months ago, and has won the trust of the other party, and can mobilize most of Rosen's thugs! He heard that someone had sent someone to investigate the badge last night, and who would have thought that the three men would actually plan to arrest Hugh after seeing that she was just a little girl.
Their voices were not high, but Abner, who had more insight than ordinary people, could hear it clearly, his brows furrowed instantly, and he instinctively analyzed and reasoned: "Badge? Could it be a transcendent item that Hugh has found? Used for contract fraud? If these three people are telling the truth, it seems that the key person in this incident is not that Lawson, but more likely to be Sigg! This person is probably an extraordinary person! So the question is, why would an extraordinary person be a consultant under a gangster boss? One could be that Rosen was a more powerful extraordinary, making him surrender, but it didn't quite match the facts, and the other could be that this Sigg was playing! And playing such a role, he is afraid that he is not the wrong way to sequence 8 fraudster? It is not only deceiving ordinary people, but also deceiving collaborators, and even misleading and deceiving possible investigators! Hey, when you think about it, it's not necessarily true that someone was sent because of the badge...... Well, I'd better remind Hugh as a starting point for a conversation. ”
Although these are just things that Abner speculated, and there is no obvious evidence, even if the reasoning is wrong, it can remind Hugh and make her less dangerous. In the original book, she may have just gone to prison because of this case, but now she may not really be unharmed. This girl is still very reckless at times.
On the other hand, after interrogating the gang members, Hugh instructed the attendants to call the police from the street and hand over the three men to the authorities. As the attacker, she was also a woman, and she was simply interrogated for two or three sentences before passing the test, and watched the three people be escorted away by the police.
Just as she was about to leave the restaurant, she suddenly saw Abner walking straight over, and the other party smiled slightly, and said, "Miss 'Arbiter', can I have the honor to invite you to a cup of coffee?" ”
Hugh was obviously accosted for the first time, and couldn't help but be stunned, muttering in his heart how his 'majesty' had repeatedly failed today, but on the surface he asked vigilantly, "Who are you?" What's the matter with me? ”
"It doesn't matter who I am, but I have some of my own opinions and inferences about what just happened, maybe it can help you." Abner was straightforward, and there was no need to beat around the bush for someone like Miss Hugh.
Hugh was a little surprised when she heard this, she hesitated for a moment before nodding and sitting back at a table. Abner sat down across from her and ordered two cups of coffee, two slices of bread, and a piece of butter under the reluctant gaze of the waiter.
While waiting for the meal, Hugh was the first to ask, "You are also an extraordinary, aren't you?" Official people? What do you want to say to me? "Because of yesterday's inexplicable induction, Hugh was actually very wary of Abner.
Abner shook his head and said with some vagueness: "I'm not an official person, just a lover who knows something about the extraordinary...... I just heard your conversation and heard some questions, and I want to remind you, Miss. "He's not lying, he's not really an extraordinary person so far.
Hugh didn't believe that the other party was just a hobbyist, and concluded that he was an extraordinary person, and the sequence was still above her, but she didn't break it, but asked directly, "What do you want to tell me?" "Isn't that already clear? It's just that ordinary gangsters get an extraordinary item and do evil with it.
Abner didn't sell it, and after polishing his previous reasoning, he told Hugh in detail.
Hugh was a little confused and asked suspiciously, "Swindler?" Play? What does that mean? ”
"It turns out that you don't know the ...... of playing the law yet" Abner patted his forehead and thought: "Negligently, Hugh really doesn't know how to play at this time, and that was taught to her after Furth joined the Tarot Society. Forget it, she's been unconsciously playing the 'arbiter' anyway, and it's nothing to tell her in advance.
"What's the play?" Hugh didn't know why, he just felt that he was a fake extraordinary.
Abner thought for a moment, followed the tone of the fool in the novel who fooled with the members of the Tarot Society, and said, "For potions, it's not mastery, it's digestion. Not to dig, but to play. The name of the potion is not only a symbol, but also an image, but also a 'key' to digestion. ”
After saying that, Abner didn't want to explain more, so he changed the subject: "If my inference is not wrong, this matter is obviously beyond your ability, you better find an opportunity to report the clues to the official transcendents, with their expertise, I am afraid they can see more problems." "Reporting is the future master of mysteries, and he doesn't mind using it in advance......
Hugh wanted to ask a few more questions about the playing method, but it was obvious that Abner did not want to say more, so he had to purse his lips and ask again: "Sir, why do you help me to tell me this knowledge and inference?" ”
