Chapter 11: Exorcism (Part 2)
Hearing this, Caspars looked Abner up and down and asked curiously, "How do you know that I can contact the organizer?" ”
Isn't that obvious? If you don't know each other, how dare you bring someone to his party?
Inside, Abner replied with a firm voice: "I believe in your profession!" ”
Do you work as a broker professionally? This stinky boy really can't speak! Caspars cursed inwardly, then he looked at Hugh behind Abner, and quickly recognized the well-known 'arbiter' in the East End.
He looked down for a moment before nodding at Abner and saying, "I can help you ask, but no matter what the outcome is, you'll have to pay a £3 contact fee!" ”
"Yes!" Abner agreed without hesitation, and it was Miss Hugh who paid anyway.
"Wait here for a while!" With that, Caspars turned and entered the lounge on the other side.
Judging from his tone, it seems that it is easy to get in touch with the old man of the "Eye of Wisdom", is it a magical item? Messenger? Or is it a telegram?
Just as Abner was guessing, Hugh pulled the corner of his coat and asked in a low voice, "What kind of powerhouse is the organizer you are looking for?" ”
"That's an old gentleman in Sequence 7, but he has a powerful seal in his hand, and his real combat power is at the level of Sequence 6!" Abner gave you a quick introduction.
"Sequence 7!" Hugh has a number in his heart, and this rank can already be regarded as a middle sequence in contemporary times.
As he spoke, Caspars opened the door to the lounge, limped back again, and said, "The gentleman said that you should meet him at the house where you meet at eight o'clock to-night, and the code is the same as last time. ”
After speaking, he looked Abner up and down seriously, and said in a rather incredulous manner: "When did you become the old gentleman's student?" ”
"What?" Abner was actually more surprised than him, and couldn't help but be stunned.
"In reply, the old gentleman addressed you as 'his future student.'" Caspars added.
What is this? Accept his test and become his future student? Wasn't he not allowed to preach in Rune? Oh yes, it's just taking students...... But it's too hasty, isn't it?!
Abner complained in his heart, but on the surface he accepted such a relationship, after all, he became a student, and it was much more convenient to climb up the pole. Why don't the other party hug their own stretched thighs?
As for whether the old gentleman would have any plans, Abner was not too worried. Not to mention that his character is not bad, maybe the words of 'future students' are just a joke, or simply mention the pleasing juniors...... Even if he really had bad intentions, as long as it dragged on for a few months, judging from the current speed of digesting potions, Abner might not be afraid of him by then.
After Hugh had paid the "liaison fee", Abner and his wife walked out of the bar, and it was only noon, so they couldn't wait there until the evening.
"Where are you going?" Hugh asked, somewhat dazed.
"I'll go have lunch and then go home in the afternoon to study." Abner replied dryly. Although he had asked Caspars to say that he had completed the study task assigned by the "Eye of Wisdom", he was actually still a lot behind, and he had to hurry up and use the pure white eye to surprise him while he had time in the afternoon.
"Learning ......" Hugh was dumbfounded when he heard this, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
"You don't have to follow me, you can go back and rest first, and we'll meet at the Brave Bar in the evening. Well, I don't think the assailant will be cursing again for a while. Abner was considerate.
Hugh thought for a moment, shook his head, and said, "If I don't go home, that might bring danger to my friends...... Also, you're not in a sequence that's good at head-on combat, right? I can protect you by following you, after all, I am the one who has caused you. ”
So we're guilty of each other? I feel that I have brought you undeserved danger due to my troubles, and you think that your affairs have drawn me into danger? Abner pinched his chin and thought about it, thinking that it was better not to explain it, and he couldn't explain it clearly, could he say that he knew the plot?
"Then let's go!"
Abner and Hugh had a hasty lunch at a restaurant and returned to their home on the East Side.
Hugh looked at Abner, who took out the materials and began to study, and then looked at the humble one-bedroom apartment, and secretly commented: "This is more dilapidated than the house I rented with Furth, Abner is really economical, but it looks like he doesn't behave like a poor man, is it to hide his identity?" Although she was a little curious, she didn't plan to explore Abner as a friend, after all, who didn't have some secrets?
After that, Abner spent the whole afternoon learning Gufsak for ten seconds with his eyes open, resting and reviewing what he had learned before. Since Miss Hugh had already seen his pure white eyes, he didn't deliberately shy away from it, and only deduced that he was using a transcendent item.
After dinner, the two went to the Bar of the Brave again at about half-past seven, this time without the guidance of Caspers, and Abner himself found the apartment where the last party had been. After a simple disguise of himself and Hugh with a cloak and mask, the code sounded.
Soon, he saw the little plank on the door open, and an eye came out, and Abner knew that it was the attendant of the old gentleman of the "Eye of Wisdom".
After a process that was no different from a party, they were taken to the familiar living room, where they saw the old man sitting on the single sofa in the dim light of a flickering candle.
The old gentleman of the "Eye of Wisdom" saw the two of them come in, and after looking at them, he smiled and said, "It seems that this lady needs help!" ”
"Your eyes are like torches!" Abner complimented. Thanks again to Russell the Great, who gave a provenance to many idioms, although this one is his.
"Don't be a sycophant, wait until we complete the transaction, and then test the school separately to see if you really have mastered half of those materials in less than a day!" After the 'Eye of Wisdom' finished speaking, he turned to Hugh again and said, "This young lady should have been cursed by the whispers of the 'Cold-Blooded', but I think this curse has been weakened, and there is not much residual depravity, as long as it is purified with the Sun Brooch, it will be fine." ”
Hugh glanced at the other party in admiration and pleaded, "You are right, please help me." ”
The Eye of Wisdom nodded, and after saying "Wait a minute", got up and walked into the back room, bringing back a dark gold brooch in the shape of a sunbird. It can be clearly seen that there is a little sweat on the face of the "Wisdom Eye".
Seeing the two of them looking at him, he also introduced it with a smile: "This is the sun brooch, which allows you to obtain the ability to exorcise evil spirits, purify, and use some solar realm spells, but the disadvantage is that as long as you wear it, you will never feel the cool taste, and you will always be in the hot summer in the south." ”
I really don't forget to show off at any time...... Abner was sighing in his heart when he saw a pure, warm, bright light burst from the sun brooch.
It flowed endlessly, turning into a tidal wave, surging at both of them, drowning them at the same time.
After a few dozen seconds, everything was back to normal, Hugh and Abner only felt warm, very comfortable, very reassuring, it was like soaking in a hot spring, or doing a sunbath.
In the process, Abner lowered his gaze and covertly opened the "Pure White Eye", and saw with his own eyes that the black lines on Hugh's forehead dissipated in an instant like boiling water poured into the snow under the illumination of the light.
"Okay, the help I've given is done, are you going to cash in on the pay? I hope that the past of the Quaternary period will satisfy me. "The old gentleman of the 'Eyes of Wisdom' said with a smile after putting the brooch back in the back room.
"Thank you so much for your help!" Hugh bowed sincerely.
"It doesn't have to be that way, it's a deal, isn't it?" The Eye of Wisdom waved his hand and set his gaze on Abner.
Abner didn't dare to slack off, and quickly cleared his throat and told a story from the novel "The Master of Mystery", the history of the birth and demise of the United Empire of Trenthorst-Tudor after the collapse of the First Empire of Solomon, and pointed out that the capital of the United Empire at that time was Beckland. Of course, he didn't talk too much about the gods and angels, which was looking for death.
Not only did Hugh listen to these stories, but even the well-informed "Eye of Wisdom" changed his sitting posture and was clearly very interested.
"It turns out that after the fall of Solomon's Empire, there was still a period of the era of the two consuls? This explains a lot of my previous questions...... But isn't this the same as the Battle of the Four Emperors? And how did this united empire disintegrate? "The Eye of Wisdom frowned, feeling that something had not been figured out.
Abner hesitated for a moment, and vaguely mentioned: "Because the Black Emperor of Solomon's Empire has been resurrected!" He didn't say more, because he was afraid of attracting the attention of some existence, and this was not above the gray fog after all.
"The Black Emperor is resurrected......" The 'Eye of Wisdom' nodded thoughtfully, his level was not enough, but he vaguely felt that the 'Black Emperor' was probably more than just a title.
Hugh was even more misty when she heard it, but she didn't say much, she just secretly remembered it in her heart and regarded it as her own knowledge reserve. And what she didn't know was that the reason why Abner said this history was actually to reveal information to her in a vague way, after all, the sequence 0 that George III wanted to make was also the Black Emperor!
"I am very satisfied with this reward, it has greatly enriched and supplemented my knowledge of the Quaternary, and allowed me to take another step forward in my search for historical truth. Praise be to the God of 'knowledge and wisdom'. ”
After the 'Eye of Wisdom' complimented him with satisfaction, he invited Hugh out for the time being, and then looked at Abner, and said with a smile:
"As agreed, it's time to check your homework!"
