The rental carriage slowly stopped outside the Harvest Church, which had a more striking spire, and Abner, who was carrying a large amount of money, quietly looked around before entering the church hall with anticipation.

Viscount Cullen of the Bloods was sitting in the first row on the right, teasing the necromantic bird named "Celica" while talking to Judy.

However, the first thing that caught Abner's eye was a black suitcase at Karen's feet, which seemed to be covered with a "spiritual wall".

Sensing Abner walking in, Karen greeted him casually, while Judy greeted him and said with a smile: "Abner, your classmate Roman has already thought about it, and he doesn't plan to continue to entangle with Alex...... Although I see that she is still a little insincere in her subconscious, she will not commit suicide again. ”

Abner was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then remembered who Alex was, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "How did you persuade Roman?" ”

"I just used extraordinary objects to reinforce in her subconscious the implication that Alex didn't have any real feelings for her...... Well, by the way, some memories were added to her, and now she doesn't remember at all that she actually spent a week at Harvest Chapel...... "just remembering going to a nice dance party with you......

After hiding the last sentence, Judy glanced at Abner with some weakness, and then changed the subject:

"By the way, that Alex became Prince Edsak's advisor through the introduction of the 'witch' Lina...... Because of this, his family feels that his social status is no longer ordinary, and he is already thinking about breaking the marriage contract with Roman. ”

Become an advisor to Prince Edsak? This is not necessarily a good thing, after all, His Royal Highness the prince himself is a tragedy of the "tuba", and there are not many people around him who have a good ending in the future.

Abner stumbled a few words, and then stopped paying attention to these trivial matters, and what he was most concerned about now was to trade materials as soon as possible. As a result, he didn't notice Judy's wandering eyes, and his attention was all focused on Cullen, who was teasing the birdie with the "Amanda" hydrosol.

Feeling Abner's gaze on him, Viscount Karen stopped what he was doing, and in the dissatisfied "twitter" of "Sirika", he turned his head and asked with a smile: "I have already brought the things, have you raised all the money?" ”

Abner nodded, and said with the same smile, "Can you let me verify that it's the one I need?" ”

Karen sprinkled some powder made from spiritual materials, and when "Silika" returned to the spirit world after eating satisfactorily, he said apologetically, "I've kept you waiting." With that, he lifted the suitcase to his chest and unbuttoned it with a snap.

The "spiritual wall" shattered and turned into a breeze through the prayer hall.

Abner, who had already turned on his spiritual vision, immediately saw bursts of strange and brilliant light, which was the spiritual brilliance that could only bloom with extraordinary main materials.

There is a 20-centimeter-square box in the suitcase, made of white tin, with many patterns, simple and heavy.

Holding the black suitcase in one hand, Cullen opened the silver-white but slightly dull tin box, which contained items that resembled a heart carved out of wood, the color of which was turquoise, with vein-like yellow-green branches coiled and crisscrossed, like chain mail.

As the candle flame flickered in the church, it continued to shrink and expand, beating like a real heart, and a stream of breath invisible to the naked eye was inhaled from below and discharged from above.

As soon as he saw it, Abner felt that he had digested a lot of potion power, and he was a little restless, like a magnet encountering a different pole.

Abner is no stranger to this kind of induction, and when he analyzes "2-081" with "Pure White Eye" every night, he will have a similar sensation from time to time.

It stems from the aggregation effect of "extraordinary properties", i.e., high-order items of the same route will intermittently and unconsciously attract low-to-medium sequence extraordinaries to its vicinity, and have a tendency to aggregate with each other......

Therefore, the experienced Abner easily suppressed this feeling of mutual attraction.

However, even if he didn't analyze it, he already knew in his heart that the weird heart in front of him was the real "heart of the elder tree", otherwise there would be no induction of aggregation effect.

Cullen showed for a moment, and the detective in front of him nodded with satisfaction, and then asked with a smile, "Are there any more questions?" ”

Abner shook his head slightly, but still opened the "pure white eye" covertly to analyze the heart of the tree, and then took out a stack of banknotes from his most intimate pocket, all in 10 pound denominations, a total of 60 bills. Then he took out a Bakerland bank deposit certificate.

"It's 2,100 pounds." Abner placed the deposit slip on top of the stack of cash and shoved it in front of Cullen.

Cullen closed the box containing the heart of the tree and put it in his suitcase, before picking up the slip and looking at it carefully - as a Bloodline who had lived for hundreds of years, he had enough means to judge the authenticity of a slip.

Then he put down the deposit slip satisfied, picked up the stack of bills and examined it.

After confirming that there were no counterfeit coins, he only counted them, handed the suitcase in his hand to Abner, and said with a smile: "The suitcase and the box will be given to you." ”

Abner took the suitcase, opened it again generously in front of the two "desolate ones", and used the "pure white eye" to analyze and confirm it, and then put it away satisfactorily.

"You guys should go to the back room in the future...... In that scene just now, if a believer happened to come in, I am afraid that they would immediately go to the police? At this time, Judy, who witnessed the whole transaction process, couldn't help but complain.

"I don't care, but if I don't trade in this kind of public place, Detective Brian is afraid that he has some concerns." Viscount Cullen glanced at Judy and shook his head.

Abner ignored the daily bickering of these two "desolate people", and only sighed on the side: "You are really idle, is this attitude really here to carry out the mission?" ”

"Hehe, because this is Rune, most of our actions can only be carried out at night after others have gone to sleep, so it seems that there is nothing to do...... After you leave, Judy and I should go to the relevant people to investigate the case in their dreams. Viscount Cullen took the banknotes and deposit slips into his bosom and explained slightly.

Abner remembered that he had not yet told the "desolates" about the Count of Lorena that his teacher had found out, so he organized a conversation and repeated to Cullen and Judy what he had seen and heard about Inspector Vane's funeral, as well as a series of speculations that followed.

"Count Lorena ...... Court nobles...... It's a pity that we can't touch this clue, otherwise we may be deported immediately......" Karen sighed after hearing this. Dealing with cases in the Kingdom of Rune is always tied up, which makes their team very unaccustomed.

"What about reporting to the Storm Church?" Abner asked.

"We don't have definite evidence, and our identity is special, I'm afraid it's difficult to make the 'substitute punishment' fully trusted, at most a little vigilant, secretly investigate......" Karen has seen a lot of similar things in his long life, and knows very well how the official will react and deal with it.

"Evidence...... Abner muttered, then looked in the direction of Queens, and said in his heart: I can only believe in the "ability" of Miss "Justice".

……

Queens, in the mansion of the Earl of Hall.

Audrey stood on the stairs and looked at her father, who was about to walk out of the mansion to greet the guests, and lowered her body to whisper to the big golden retriever dog beside her feet:

"Susie, you sneak into the parlor and hide in a moment, and then remember Daddy's conversation later, and tell me about it when you come back."

Susie wagged her tail quickly, as if a little confused by Audrey's phrasing, and could only open her mouth to respond with one word:

"Wang!"
