Chapter 76: Cello and Violin
"Name: Bloodstained Gold Solomon."
"Hazard level: '3', there is a certain danger, and it should be sealed in time after use."
"Sealing method: Do not wipe the blood covering the avatar on the front of the gold coin in any way. Once wiped off, the avatar needs to be re-smeared with the blood of the 'Inquisitor' Pathway Extraordinary within a day. ”
"Description: It is a gold coin with a slightly darker left half of the gold and the right half of the gold shiny. The background pattern on both sides is completely different, giving an uncomfortable feeling. The obverse center of the coin is covered in dark red bloodstains, and when the blood stains are wiped off, you can see a monarch with a smile on the left half and an angry expression on the right.
"This item comes from a Quaternary gold coin eroded by the extraordinary properties of a Sequence 7 'Lucky One', who was suspected to have been killed by a Punishment Knight during his lifetime, and was tainted with some of the power of order."
"After analysis, it is known that this gold coin itself has a low sense of existence, anti-reconnaissance, anti-divination ability, as long as the blood stain on the gold coin is wiped clean, you can get a day of good luck. The degree of good luck is uncontrollable, it is passive, and this kind of luck is not fixed, there are ups and downs, sometimes it is very powerful, sometimes it is like an ordinary person, so it is difficult to rely on it completely.
"Those who have extraordinary divination abilities can use gold coins that wipe off blood stains to achieve better divination results.
"This item can be utilized, but the head in the center of the gold coin must be re-defaced with the blood of the Extraordinary One of the 'Inquisitor' route the day after use, otherwise the same bad luck will be given depending on the luck of the previous day. Under bad luck, the user can be injured or killed. Once the user dies, the surface of the coin will be stained with blood again. If the blood seal is not obtained for a long time, the user's bad luck will increase day by day until death. ”
……
Abner, who returned to his cabin, played with the ancient gold coins he had just harvested for a while, and then reviewed the analysis report of the "Pure White Eye" from earlier.
"Looking at this unconventional shape, you know that it is a product of the Solomon Empire...... 'lucky one', and he died at the hands of the 'Knights of Punishment'? I'm afraid it's not a solid ally of the Black Emperor, a subordinate of the True Creator? After all, the potion recipe for the 'Wheel of Fortune' path, except for the Little Snake's School of Life and the organization that can't be named, is only in the hands of the Great Snake, who is absolutely loyal to the true Creator......
"Moreover, the mural behind the door on the island that Mr. Scudder said is also likely to have something to do with the Angel of Destiny."
Thinking of this, Abner looked at the gold coin in his hand a little helplessly, and thought:
"The effect of this gold coin is not bad, but if you use it once, you will need the blood of the extraordinary person of the 'Judgment' path to seal it...... Could it be that I still have to go to Hugh every now and then to let some blood go? This...... It's a bit hard to speak. ”
……
City of Tingen, Black Thorn Security.
The well-ventilated but silent underground, the glow of the yellowish gas lamps, blessed by the glass, steadily illuminates the uninhabited and peaceful aisles.
Crane sat in the guard room, casually scrolling through the stacks of newspapers, magazines, and books in front of him, and distracted himself from paying attention to the outside, in case someone broke into Chanis Gate.
The rich aroma of coffee filled the air, and Crane involuntarily took a puff and pinched his temples to combat the heaviness of his head and the exhaustion of his body.
He casually picked up the novel on the table, whether it was the captain or the other night watchman.
"Stormstorm Heights, by Forthth Wall." Klein read out the main content of the cover.
The quiet late night, the faint yellow light, and a book with a cover reminded him of the days when he rented books to read when he was a child, so he read them with nostalgia.
The novel "Stormy Villa" tells the story of Lady Sissi, who is 1.65 meters tall and weighs 98 pounds, and enters the Frius Hill Villa as a governess.
"One pound is equal to about one pound...... Is this an otherworldly version of Jane Eyre? Klein rubbed his fingers against the pleasant paper, guessing what was going to follow.
However, when he thought it was a romance novel, a hateful "evil spirit" appeared behind him who liked to sell his knowledge but didn't finish the sentence.
The description of this "evil spirit" is very visual, just like Mr. "Tower", which makes people want to catch it and tell everything......
When Klein spits out the characters of the story and thinks that this may be a supernatural novel, the heroine Ms. Sissi uses gorgeous reasoning to reveal the true face of the "evil spirit", which is just a fellow detective who wants to interfere with the heroine's solving the case.
Next, Klein thinks this is a detective novel, but the male protagonist is quickly hit in the head, loses his memory, and begins a tear-jerking plot.
“…… In the end, it's still a romance novel. Crane closed the book and took a sip of coffee with a headache.
Boom!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sound of fierce percussion resounded, echoing through the dim and quiet corridors, echoing underneath almost no one else.
Crane was startled, his spirit tensed suddenly, and he grabbed the revolver and looked at the source of the sound, Chanisman.
Just then, he heard a piercing grinding sound, and saw Chanis's door heavy outward, cracking a gap!
Stab!
In a voice that was so jerky that it was tooth-aching, Crane's eyes almost froze to see a toy puppet, about the height of an adult, ordinary man's forearm, and wearing a black, elegant, miniature court dress with obvious stains on the hem.
It had a face that was not very delicate, with dark eyes and a pursed mouth.
This is "3-0265", Doom Muppet! A dangerous seal that can bring bad luck and even death!
Almost as soon as he recognized it, Klein subconsciously raised his gun and aimed at it.
However, the puppet in the black court dress pressed tightly and firmly against the open Chanis Gate, unfolding the paper in his hand.
On the paper were depicted a number of hidden symbols, some Klein knew and some he had not yet mastered, and together they formed a vertical eye!
Before Klein could think about what was going on, the court puppet was suddenly pulled back behind the Chanis Gate, and was forcefully pulled back behind the Chanis Gate by the invisible!
Klein, who had experienced such a terrible incident, did not dare to delay, and hurriedly rang the bell of the internal alarm and called the other night watchmen over. And after some scrutiny, it was determined that he had not undergone a terrible mutation.
After the night passed, Crane finally returned home without resting, and walked four steps backwards, silently reciting the incantation, resisting the frenzied screams, and entered the gray mist.
Next, through divination, he determined that the vertical eye pattern was the key to the treasure left behind by the Antigonus family!
"Because Riel. Bieber died, and the descendants of the House of Antigonus were severed, so that note regards me, the 'soothsayer' who came into contact with it and is still alive, as the inheritor? ”
"It affects 3-0625, leaving the key to the treasure so that the other party can show me when I take the turn of Chanisgate?"
"There's nothing wrong with this logic, but it still doesn't convince me."
"After all, I'm a completely irrelevant person...... Wait......"
Thinking of this, Klein's heart suddenly moved, and he remembered the words that Mr. "Tower" inadvertently revealed:
"The House of Antigonus...... Half a fool ......"
"And I'm playing the fool on the gray mist now......"
"This mysterious gray fog space and the sequence of soothsayers are related to the Antigonus family?"
……
On Saturday morning, after a month-long absence from Bakeland, Abner finally set foot on the land of the capital of all worlds, waved goodbye to Mike's reporter and pharmacist Darkwell, who had been familiar with him on the boat, picked up the case of his cello and called a horse-drawn carriage, and headed straight for the teacher's office in the Hillston district.
When he reached the door of the office, he found a carriage with the emblem of the Church of the Night parked outside the slightly old villa.
Abner frowned, and asked the manservant, who had already gone out to greet him when he returned, "Does the teacher have another commission?" ”
"Detective Stanton seems to be seeing a distinguished guest, and has long ordered me to wait for you to come back and take you directly to your former office." The manservant replied truthfully.
Abner nodded and walked straight into the hall of the office.
But at this moment, Detective Issinger's office suddenly opened, and a man in his thirties wearing a black trench coat and white shirt walked out, accompanied by his teacher.
Abner casually glanced over and saw that the man had short blond-brown hair, dark green eyes that looked like moonless lakes in the middle of the night, and the neckline of his shirt and trench coat stood high and hid his entire chin in the shadows.
What's even more remarkable is that he carries a case made of silver and white metal that looks like a violin case on his back.
This shape is very similar to Abner, who is carrying a cello case.
When Detective Isenger saw Abner, he immediately smiled and introduced to the man beside him: "Your Excellency Secima, this is my student Abner Blaine. You should have heard of him. ”
Crestai Cesima stared at the case behind Abner for a few moments before smiling, "As a young detective, you have done a good job of solving the big case of human trafficking with that bounty hunter lady. ”
"Thank you for the compliment, I'm just lucky." Although Abner didn't remember who this person was for a while, just looking at the teacher's attitude, he knew that this should be an official bigwig, and it was likely to be from the Night Church.
Sesima nodded slightly, then turned to Detective Issinger and said, "Today's transaction has been completed, then it is time for me to leave." ”
Detective Issinger laughed and said, "I didn't expect a big man like you to come in person, please forgive me for being inconsiderate." ”
After a few pleasantries, the man named Cesima left with the case on his back.
It wasn't until his carriage drove far away that Abner breathed a sigh of relief and asked curiously, "Teacher, who is this Excellency?" ”
"It is the 'Sword of the Goddess' Crested, one of the nine senior deacons of the Night Church. Sesima! Detective Isenger spat out a smoke ring at this point and continued:
"It's not a good time for you to come back."
