Chapter 56: On board
As he was about to board the ship, Hugh looked back at the island town behind him, and suddenly felt a little reluctant and a little stunned.
This is the first time in her life that she has ventured at sea, but the process is so exciting and unforgettable.
"Breaking through the dream labyrinth tower, teaming up to strangle many monsters, and exploring the lonely island cave, no matter what I tell Firth, I'm afraid it will inspire her......" Hugh looked back on the experience of the past few days, and felt that it was like a childhood dream.
"What are you thinking?" Abner asked with a smile when he saw her distracted.
"I think that since I met you, I always seem to encounter some extraordinary things, and I feel that life is not real......" Hugh said this not to complain about anything, but to deeply realize that the current exciting life is really completely different from the monotonous arbitration notarization work before.
Where is this? When you become Miss Tarot 'Judgment'...... No, it won't take that long, until you and Firth get to know Miss 'Justice', that little day is really exciting, and you will investigate the heirs of the evil gods at every turn, pay attention to the king of angels from time to time, and participate in the hunting of demigods or something...... In contrast, I'm a pediatrician!
Abner complained in his heart, but asked with a smile on his face, "Don't you like to take risks?" ”
"Of course not......," Hugh shook his head, and then said with a serious face, "It's just that I have to go back to my old life after all...... I want to investigate...... The truth! ”
"Don't push yourself so hard, our adventure isn't over yet! Maybe before you go back to Beckland, you'll be able to get the Sheriff's potions together! Abner persuaded.
The truth or anything doesn't really matter, what matters is strength. If the other party is a demigod at this time, then he will explain the cause and effect to her in minutes.
"I'm familiar with the port of Enmat, and it's not an adventure to get there." Hugh regained some of his spirits and deliberately retorted.
"If you look at the ticket in your hand and read the name of the passenger ship we are going to take, you will find that our journey and adventure are not over!" Abner shook his ticket and gestured.
"'White Onyx'...... Ayrlan? Hugh's eyes widened as he looked at the ticket. The protagonist of the biography of the person she had read in the Dream Labyrinth Tower was to become the captain of the passenger ship White Onyx at the end of the story.
"That's a ...... Can that tower still affect the fate of people? Otherwise, where could it be such a coincidence? Hugh said in disbelief.
"Most likely, it was based on us when it gave us the information we were expecting. It can't possibly give you a biographical story of someone who has nothing to do with you at all. Abner guessed. This is also in line with the ability of the White Tower Path at the high level.
"That's ...... That's why you said that Miss Sherman might get to know me in the future? It turns out that Abner, you had a guess at that time. Hugh said suddenly.
I didn't have to guess at the time, because you already knew him...... Abner replied inwardly, but did not speak again.
"So, what do you think I might get from Captain Erlan?" Hugh asked thoughtfully.
"Maybe it's a clue to another main material you need, maybe ...... Is it your father's case intelligence? Abner wasn't quite sure. That Erlan should also be a member of MI9, but he is only a peripheral person, and he should not know about too high-end things. But I can't say for sure.
Hugh obviously thought of this, and was not surprised, but only looked at Abner and said, "You really know my background!" ”
"The teacher called you Miss 'Die' directly, how could I not find out?" Abner spread his hands.
"I always thought you knew it all along!" At this point, Hugh paused and asked instead, "My father's grievances are related to the military...... Is that right? ”
It's not quite right, but it's close...... Thinking so, Abner asked rhetorically, "Why do you guess that?" ”
"You've actually hinted at me a few times before, but I've been paying attention to it because you're saying it so vaguely. But this Erlan, I have read the biography of the first half of his life and know that his only background is the military...... And you're guessing he probably knows the information about my father's case! Hugh's eyes were bright, and for the first time he felt so close to the truth.
"Could it be...... My father found out that the military was helping the cult to abduct and sell people, so he was framed? Hugh asked, looking at Abner.
Abner didn't want to deceive her, so he avoided answering.
Seeing this, Hugh said with some frustration: "It seems that my guess is wrong...... I'm afraid the truth is even more amazing than I imagined, so that you don't even dare to open your mouth......"
"That's because we're too weak...... "Abner said after a moment's pause, then added, "Become a demigod!" Only when he becomes a demigod can he have a little room to meddle in this matter. ”
"Demigods...... Is there room for meddle? Hugh lost his mind at first, and then his face became firm again.
……
The White Onyx is a steamship, but it retains its sails. It is unusually large for humans, and is said to be able to carry hundreds of passengers.
No sooner had he stepped onto the deck, and before he could enter the cabin, Abner saw a figure pass through the crowd and toward him out of the corner of his eye.
A familiar voice rang out next: "Abner, I looked like you from a distance just now, but I didn't expect it to be true!" How did you get to Damir? Traveling with your 'shooting instructor'? Your quirks haven't gotten rid of yet! ”
The person who spoke like this was like a provocation, and it was undoubtedly the second-generation police officer Edith whom Abner recognized. Of course, he has now run away from home and is no longer a police officer.
"Why don't you speak? Forget it, if you're going to say something big and get me back, then don't say it! Seeing that Abner's attitude was a little detached, Edith's face suddenly collapsed, and she was not as enthusiastic as before.
Abner looked at his clothes and mental state, and thought for a moment before he said, "I've seen that Miss Gwen before, and they're much better than you!" ”
It's the same runaway, and there's a world of difference between having a plan and not having a plan.
Although this was not to be heard, Edith miraculously came to his senses, and he pouted, "I will definitely be better than her in the future!" ”
"What are you doing now. Became an adventurer? Abner asked curiously.
"It's not so easy to be an adventurer...... I can't afford to buy a ferry ticket without money! Edith complained indignantly, then half-turned, pointed to another part of the deck, and said, "I'm working as a temporary bodyguard now, this time to protect my employer's family from Port Enmat." ”
Abner followed the trail and saw eight men gathered together, the first of whom was a gentleman in the prime of life, with rosy cheeks and bright eyes, and a gold chain for a pocket watch and a pins studded with jewels on a long double-breasted gown.
Beside him was a lady in a wide-brimmed round hat, whose face was completely obscured by the drooping dark blue veil, and who was in very good shape.
In front of the two stood three children, one big and two young, the eldest was a boy, about ten years old, wearing a well-fitting tuxedo formal suit, and his still immature face was already a little handsome and handsome. The younger two are girls, they look only four or five years old, they are twins, and when they smile, a pair of dimples are exposed at the corners of their mouths, which is very cute.
Surrounded by them, three people, a man and two women, were dressed as servants, and two of the maids were brown and red-skinned, and they were obviously of the southern continent race.
"Protecting so many people, only you are a bodyguard?" Abner asked casually.
Edith spread her hands and said, "After all, it's just a short trip...... And I don't know why there are many adventurers on this ship, most of them have a lot of reputation, and the safety problem can still be guaranteed, and ordinary pirates would not dare to rob this ship. ”
Hearing him say this, Abner also had some doubts, for soon after he came aboard the ship, he found that many of the passengers were dressed simply and smartly, almost all of them were adventurers in white shirts, black waistcoats, dark trousers, and sturdy leather boots, and all of them were sharp-eyed and calm-looking.
At first, he thought that it was popular to wear them like this overseas, but now it seems that they are really adventurers.
"Do you want to ask why so many adventurers are on the same ship?" At this moment, a slightly playful voice suddenly came from behind Abner.
Abner frowned, feeling that today's self-cooked was a little too much? Still, he followed the sound and looked over.
The speaker was a young-looking man, with short blond hair and green eyes focused and serious.
Seeing that it attracted attention, the corners of the young man's mouth opened slightly, showed a warm smile, and said, "I know why, but I won't tell you!" ”
Very good, with the most flattering smile to say the most indecent words...... This must be a hunter, right? Abner felt that his self-cultivation had improved again.
On the other hand, Edith was amazed and sighed: "Brother, you are better than me!" My temper has gotten better and better since I went out to sea. ”
"That's because you're not strong enough...... This may have affected your play! The young man replied with a smile.
At this time, Abner sensed a hint of familiarity in the person's appearance and clothing, and he recalled the original content of "The Master of Mysteries", and then asked tentatively: "Anderson Hood?" ”
"You can recognize me?" Anderson said in surprise at first, then showed a sudden look, and then said, "That's right, after all, I am the strongest hunter under the demigods, and I should be recognized." ”
This is too contrived! If I can't beat you, I will give you a set of "Huanggang Secret Scroll" first, so that you will not be lonely in the second half of the year.
Abner nodded expressionlessly while scolding, "Since you are Anderson, then I know why these adventurers are together...... Someone summoned you, right? ”
According to the analysis of the content of the original book, the gathering of people should be to explore the sea area of the divine war relics...... It's a pity that in the end, except for Anderson, they were all wiped out.
