Chapter 63: A Corner of the Veil

In the first-class room of the White Onyx, Abner, who was hanging his head and closing his eyes as if he was asleep, suddenly opened his eyes, he first turned off the "mechanical mind" ability, and then recalled what had just happened in the Source Castle, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart:

"This 'mechanical mind' ability does keep me absolutely calm, but it also has some effect on my mind. I didn't want to have such a utilitarian attitude towards Mr. Fool, and I even wanted to find an opportunity to remind him of something to pay attention to...... But under the 'mechanical mind', he only considered the gains and losses, and successfully completed the goal with some painless intelligence and knowledge......"

"It seems that in the future, it is best to use this ability only in combat and research, and if I use it too much in normal times, it will inevitably make my temperament deviate...... If only utilitarian gains and losses are calculated in everything, and only the optimal solution is used in action, can it still be regarded as a 'person'? ”

Shaking his head, dispelling all the apparently divergent thoughts out of his mind, Abner looked at the pen that had broken into several pieces in his hand, and thought to himself with some amusement:

"If the item I made to contact the Source Fort was a monocle, would Mr. Fool lose his hair when he recalls this scene when he comes into contact with that mischievous god in the future?"

……

It is unknown whether Klein will lose his hair, but Captain Dunn, who already has a high hairline, has encountered a very tricky matter at this time.

He was inspecting Raphael's Cemetery, but suddenly the space around him was enveloped by a strange force, which felt somewhat similar to how he used his nightmare power to pull others into dreams, but it was completely different. After all, although this space distorted and shrouded by special powers was strange, it did not have the feeling of a dream.

Captain Dunn took out the revolver in his hand and looked around warily to see if there were any flaws that could come out.

At this moment, a figure wearing a red shirt and a black turtleneck jacket appeared not far from Dunn.

It was a young man, with handsome features, long silver hair that was scattered, and in his right hand he held a fine wine glass filled with red liquid. He saw Dunn look at him and raised his glass gracefully.

As soon as Dunn saw the man, he instinctively felt a kind of oppression from a superior being. This suppression seemed to come from the dark realm, so that even his nightmare abilities could not be used.

"Who are you? What do you want to do? Dunn didn't attack immediately, but asked calmly.

The man shook the wine glass in his hand, watched the scarlet liquid ripple, and chuckled, "Of course I'm here to wait for you, Captain Dunn." ”

"Wait for me? What's the matter? Dunn asked in a deep voice after a pause.

However, he didn't believe that the other party was waiting for him here. He's just the captain of the Night Watch squad in Sequence 7, and the other party feels even more powerful than Lord Secima, maybe a demigod.

How could such a big man come and wait for himself exclusively? Maybe the other party's target is the Church of the Night in Tingen?

At this thought, Dunn's face turned even paler, and his gaze at the man sharpened.

The man shook his head, put down his glass, and walked forward slowly, while two illusory giant bat wings appeared behind him, completely covering the entire cemetery, and the black light swayed slightly like rippling water.

"Vampires?" Dunn's eyes narrowed, and he lifted the revolver, even if he had no chance of winning, he would not rest on his laurels as the captain of the Night Watch Squad.

"Don't be so nervous, I don't mean anything, I just want to sell a favor to a friend I haven't met yet." The man slowly walked up to Dunn and smiled leisurely, "And I'm really waiting for you!" According to the edict of the First Ancestor, the friend valued the city very much, and seemed to want to change some predetermined destiny here. And I have been here for a long time to observe, and your fate has been interfered with the heaviest, so I have come to give you a guarantee. ”

"What?" Dunn had been suppressed by the other party's exposed aura at this time, and he couldn't move his fingers, but this didn't prevent him from not understanding what the other party meant at all.

"Of course, there may be something else to gain besides making that friend!" The young man glanced in the direction of the Deville Library, and then he walked behind Dunn, his white, neat teeth protruding from four shiny silver-white fangs.

It's not scary, but there's a strange beauty.

"Don't worry, this is just a precautionary measure, not a first hug, and you won't be allowed to die out of control due to the potions conflict!" With that, his teeth were biting down on Dunn's neck.

After a long time, Dunn woke up suddenly, and he subconsciously touched his neck, his face full of confusion. Because all he remembers was that he fell asleep in the cemetery. But would a nightmare fall asleep unconscious? Even curly-haired baboons may not find it possible.

"My memory isn't so bad that I can forget what just happened, right?" Dunn muttered to himself with an ugly face.

……

On the outskirts of Tingen, a house with a green lawn.

It has a spacious garden with flowers still blooming, with dark red chimneys.

Behind the bedroom window of this house is a desk with a simple notebook spread out.

A quill pen was eerily writing on the note:

"Dunn Smith suddenly fell into a deep sleep while visiting the cemetery, but woke up and forgot how he fell asleep. He wanted to report this strange incident to the church headquarters, but because there was no obvious evidence and no follow-up effects, it made him hesitate a little, and even suspected that he was out of control. ”

"But then he noticed that he was in an unexpectedly good state, and even the frequent trance that occurred after coming into contact with the notes of the Antigonus family disappeared."

In the end, he decided not to report it for the first time, but only sent more frequent patrols in the cemetery in the hope of finding new clues. It makes sense. ”

……

Abner had just picked up the broken pen fragments and emptied them into the trash when he felt the spiritual wall that had been set up touched, and he sensed it and found that it was Edith standing outside the room.

After the spiritual blockade was lifted, there was a knock on the door, and Abner walked out unhurriedly and opened the door. Let Edith into the room.

"Abner, do you still have something in your hand? I bought it for 400 pounds! Edith asked eagerly as soon as she entered.

"Got the money so quickly? It's not there yet, is it? Abner was a little surprised when he heard this, but he quickly had a guess and asked directly, "Did Anderson give it to you?" ”

"It's a detective, I guessed it at once!" Edith nodded admiringly, and continued, "But not to give, but to borrow." When I get to the port of Enmat, I'll have to raise money to pay him back. ”

Abner had already recognized Edith as a friend in his heart, so he said with concern at this time: "Even if it's just a temporary loan, I'm afraid you will have to pay the price...... What did you promise him? "In fact, it is better to find a stranger to borrow money. At least he won't ask for anything.

"I need to join his team of hunters...... It's not a loss to me, because he'll be in charge of teaching me the knowledge of the 'Hunter', as well as the subsequent potion recipes...... This is exactly what I need! Edith said in a firm tone.

He also knew what Abner was worried about, and in fact he had similar concerns, but since he had decided to become the big man among the adventurers anyway, a little risk was the price to take.

Anderson seems to have formed the Hunter Squad for the promotion ceremony...... There should be no danger to life, at most the whole life is loveless...... After all, in order to let the team cooperate tacitly and connect with each other, that pit took the initiative to pull the hatred of all the team members on the field.

While complaining about Anderson's future operations, Abner also took out the tin box sealed with the extraordinary properties of 'Hunter' from his luggage.

Undo the spiritual ban, open the box, and display the jelly-like crimson item inside in front of Edith's eyes.

"Sure enough, it's the extraordinary trait of 'Hunter'!" Edith blurted out this sentence in a stirred mood.

"You know? Looks like Anderson has taught you a lot in one day! Abner gave him a meaningful look.

"It's not a lot, it's just that Mr. Anderson showed me an exact one like this one before." As she spoke, Edith took out a bag and counted 40 10-pound bills and handed them to Abner.

After Abner took it, he opened the pure white eye and analyzed and examined them one by one, and the counterfeit money in front of him could not be fooled.

"Why did you come to me to buy it when Anderson had the 'Hunter' trait in his hands?" After confirming that they were all genuine, Abner asked casually.

"Because he seems to be raising a squad of at least 30 hunters, his attitude towards extraordinary traits is to buy them as long as they have them." Edith replied after putting the lid on the tin box.

Hearing this, Abner suddenly felt that something was wrong, and to say that Anderson had found some clues about the ritual from the deeds of the predecessors of the 'Predator Knights' in Sequence 4, and consciously imitated the formation of a team, he thought it was possible.

However, this designation of "at least 30 people" cannot be explained by a clue analysis, which suggests that Anderson was given the recipe for Sequence 4...... At least part of the recipe!

But in the original book, he must not have it at this time...... What's the problem? The biggest difference between him and the original plot is probably that he sent me something and a message...... Could it be that this is a reward from the Church of Knowledge?

Abner analyzed this, but his heart was even more puzzled:

If it is really the work of the Church of Knowledge, then he may have a deeper calculation in Anderson! After all, it's just a letter, and even if I value it, it's not worth as much as the Sequence 4 potion recipe!
