Chapter 167: Susie's Suggestion (Addition)
"The price His Majesty paid?" Audrey repeated, puzzled, "Why do you say that?" ”
"The Hanged Man" Alger also set his eyes on it, and he had some vague speculation in his heart, thinking that this should be related to the "Witch of Pain" case that "Tower" investigated before.
Mr. "Fool" is also full of curiosity, and his knowledge of the world is still very limited, and he is happy to listen to "Tower" tell some things...... Although this guy refuses to tell the whole story every time, just like the abominable evil spirit in "Stormwind Villa".
Seeing that the attention of the three of them was focused on him, Abner organized the language and said, "In order to capture the 'Witch of Pain', Beckland's 'Substitute Punisher' team lost a 'Wind Favorer' and a 'Level 1' seal, and most of the team members were seriously injured as a result...... Under such circumstances, how could His Majesty the King calm the wrath of the Storm Church without paying some price? You know, it's the royal family's henchmen who harbor the witch. ”
Audrey had learned through Susie that the Storm Church had forced His Majesty to execute Count Lorena, but she didn't know that there was such an inside story, and at this moment she couldn't help but suddenly say: "No wonder the Storm Church seems so domineering......"
The "Wind Favorite" died? Is it Robert, Matthew, or McConaughey? Captain Kuhn was also seriously injured...... He's made a contract with the holy relic 'Punctual Disaster'! What really happened to Beckland? What about Your Excellency, the Singer of God? How could he sit idly by and watch such a thing happen?
Alger, the "Hanged Man", felt a storm in his heart, and even felt that "Tower" might be talking nonsense...... But he peeked at the "fool" sitting at the top, and saw that this mysterious being did not refute, did not tap on the edge of the long table, obviously acquiescing to the accuracy of the words of the "tower......
After taking a deep breath and exhaling, Alger, who had regained his composure, quickly thought about it: it is definitely impossible for a single 'Witch of Pain' to make Beckland's substitute punisher team lose to such an extent, and there must be other forces intervening...... Considering that in the end it was George III who made the reparation...... Is this a game between the Church and the nobles of the kingdom? Both the 'substitute punisher' and the count were just victims of the game?
For some reason, he suddenly felt a little sad.
As a "night watchman", Klein is even more empathetic, eager to know the cause and effect, but as a "fool", he can't ask...... I have to look forward to Miss "Justice" in my heart to be a qualified "praiser" again.
And Audrey really lived up to the high expectations of Mr. "Fool", and couldn't hide her curiosity and asked: "Mr. 'Tower', can you share the whole process of the incident with me?" It's hard for me to get in touch with the whole truth in my daily life, and I can only know it through you...... Well, I'll pay, what do you want? ”
"Hehe, Miss Justice, you just need to help me choose that gift." Abner replied with a smile.
He had wanted to tell the Tarot Order, especially Mr. Fool, about what had happened. After all, in more than half a month, Mr. "Fool" will come to Beckland, and the '1' level seal that is out of control is extremely dangerous, in case he encounters that seal without preparation, won't the safe, hidden, and equal trading platform of the Tarot Society be gone?
Audrey didn't expect Mr. Tower to talk about it again, thinking to herself: "Mr. Tower really cares about his sister, and it seems that I need to choose a suitable item carefully...... Well, it's best to let Anne help, she's always had the best eye.
Anne is her personal maid, and her family has served the Hall family for generations, and when it comes to dealing with people, it is a true profession.
"I also want to join ...... 'Tower', what do you need me to give?" At this time, the "upside-down hangman" suddenly spoke.
In the previous three-way transaction, the "tower" was excluded because of his request, so he was afraid that the other party would follow suit and not let himself know about the events that happened in Beckland.
"I need you to help me keep an eye on the future and the follow-up information on the treasure that the Admiral found in the new route of the Stormy Sea." Abner glanced at him, pondered for a moment, and spoke slowly.
Alger didn't expect "Tower" to care about this, but he agreed without hesitation, and said, "Okay, I'll sort out the news I heard for you...... However, I can't be sure whether the information is true or false. ”
"No problem, just give it to me." Abner nodded, then pondered, and described:
"The cause of the whole incident should be an ambush by the punisher on Rey, who was still the 'Witch of Pleasure' at the time......"
He then recounts how Rey plotted to promote the Witch of Pain, only to be contaminated by the Primordial Moon, and how he designed to disperse the Substitute Punisher's men to seek the seal 2-001.
Of course, what he said was only part of what he knew, and he hid his own role in it and speculation about some "arrangements".
But even so, it also made Audrey, Alger and Klein frightened, especially when they heard that at the end, the witch used the divinity of the "Primordial Moon" to fight with the three "holy relics", and even sweated for the two captains and the "Sword of the Goddess".
But what they didn't know was that Abner was actually hearsay about that battle, and although the whole battle ended correctly, he made it up by adding fuel and vinegar......
"It turns out that His Excellency the 'Singer of the Gods' was dragged by the demigods of the 'Rose School'......" Alger suddenly realized, but he was surprised by Captain Kuhn's choices in this incident, and if he was in charge, how could he be so passive everywhere?
Crane was intrigued by the "Level 1" seal, thinking that it could be used to enhance the accuracy of "divination...... Could it be a high-level item from the 'Fortune Teller' path?
Audrey's attention was on another matter, and she said in surprise: "It turns out that the 'Pain Witch' was really killed by that Detective Brian?" I thought he was pushed out by the Storm Church......"
Abner coughed and corrected, "Detective Bryan was killed by Detective Bryan and one of the 'Necromantic Mentors' of the Night Church. ”
"That's pretty good, too! I had always thought that Detective Bryan's reputation was fake, but now that I think about it, he may be even better than the rumors. Audrey said with some yearning, she also wanted to one day become a hero who guarded the kingdom and the people.
Although the story of "Tower" has been very detailed, Klein feels that the water behind this incident may be very deep, and there is something more terrible hidden behind the scenes......
However, because the previous narration of "Tower" had taken too much time, his spirituality was already a little unbearable, so he didn't have time to think about it, and when he saw that no one spoke again, he immediately tapped the edge of the table with his fingers, and said calmly and without waves:
"That's all for today's meeting."
"Do what you want!" All the members, including Abner, stood up at the same time.
After all the figures had dispersed and he was the only one left in the ancient palace, Klein rubbed his eyebrows and picked up the information on the embodiment of the "tower".
"The headquarters of the 'Esoteric Order' is suspected to be in the Republic of Intis? And sure enough, he has the potion of the 'soothsayer' path......"
However, after only a few pages, Crane could no longer hold up the spiritual consumption, and had to leave the gray mist, go back to his room, and fall asleep on the bed.
……
Once his gaze returned to normal, Abner removed the spiritual blockade from the room. Then he changed into his proper clothes and prepared to go to the North District to attend Ms. Dai Li's invitation.
"I don't know what the 'Sword of the Goddess' is looking for me? But since I made an appointment at a formal restaurant, I don't think there would be any trouble. ”
Although Abner thought so in his heart, he still brought all the extraordinary items with him except for the "Sword of Dawn".
Without using the "Gold Solomon Coins", he couldn't believe his luck, after all, every time he went to a banquet or ball, something would go wrong.
……
Queens, inside the mansion of the Earl of Hall.
Audrey restrained her excitement after learning of a big event and walked around the house a few times.
Then, she turned her head sideways, smiled lightly, and said to the golden retriever dog who ran back from outside after the spiritual blockade was lifted:
"Susie, if you had a sister, what gift would you give her?"
Susie instinctively wanted to stick out her tongue, but ladyfully stopped it.
It wagged its tail, thought for a moment, and then replied in a cheerful tone:
"Bakerland Caring Pet Company produces biscuits...... Well, I want the 'beef' flavor. ”
