Chapter 185: Invitation and Exorcism
"Am I not doing it for the sheriff's good, too? His body is very depleted, and it doesn't hurt to make up for it. Darkwell shook the fat off his face and muttered angrily.
Obviously I'm taking the initiative to help, but I can't get a word of thanks every time, don't you think you should reflect on yourself?
Abner sneered, but didn't say much, after all, this is Darkwell's way of doing things, he doesn't need praise at all, as long as he is happy......
So, this pharmacist really should be a "hunter", right?!
Using Judy's hair to "intimidate" Darkwell, Abner hurried out of the smoking room after a few more conversations with himβhe wasn't in a hurry, just couldn't bear the smell of tobacco.
As soon as he left the door, Abner saw his former school classmates, Roman and Susan, two girls walking hand in arm.
Susan, who was already looking around, also spotted Abner for the first time, and a smile suddenly appeared on her face, but instead of waving far away or jumping up and down as before, she nodded at Abner very reservedly, and then pulled Roman slowly over.
As for Roman, as soon as she saw Abner's figure, she immediately became nervous, and she didn't even know where to put her hand, if she hadn't been pulled by Susan, she was afraid that she would have become an ostrich.
It is said that this girl has been receiving the so-called "lady's education" some time ago......
Abner's thoughts drifted for a second, and then quickly pulled back, and when the two girls came closer, he smiled and said to them, "Two ladies, your arrival has made this villa a little brighter. β
"You've praised you too much, Abner......" Roman's face turned a little red when he heard this, and he quickly replied in a whisper.
Susan, who had playful freckles, blinked her eyes and did not answer Abner's words, but pretended to complain: "Abner, you are becoming more and more famous now, and you don't take the initiative to contact us...... If I hadn't received your invitation, I wouldn't have dared to come to the door rashly, for fear that you would have forgotten about us classmates. β
These words are half-true and half-false, but they suddenly swept away the original sense of alienation caused by not seeing each other for many days.
Abner shook his head and explained with a smile: "I don't have as much time as you...... after all, I have to be busy catching traitors, finding people, searching for 'Level 1' seals by the way, and killing a "Witch of Pain" or something......
"Excuses!" Susan snorted dissatisfied, and then asked, as if casually, "Do you have time for Saturday and Sunday?" β
Abner thought about it for a while, and found that because his "popularity" was high, he didn't receive any commissions, so he nodded and said, "It should be fine...... What does this do, you ask? β
"Because Roman and I need a 'Flower Protector' this weekend! I would like to invite you to take on the responsibility. Susan replied with a grin.
"Flower Protector"? Isn't this word also coming from the mouth of Russell the Great?
Abner complained inwardly, and asked curiously, "What are you going to do?" β
"It was me and Roman's club that was going to organize a camping and expedition, although it wasn't going to any dangerous place, and there was a teacher to lead the team, but we two girls who didn't have the ability to protect themselves naturally needed a reliable gentleman to protect them...... No, your chance has come? Susan smiled energetically.
Roman next to him also raised his head and looked at Abner with some expectation.
If Crane was here, he would have used an excuse to go to the bathroom...... By the way, the "Gold Solomon Coins" have already been used anyway, so it is better to use its ability to enhance the effect of "divination" and give it a try.
Thinking of this, Abner asked, "Where are you going to camp?" "This is to get more preconditions.
"It's near the small town of Conva, on the southeastern outskirts of Beckland." Susan said after a moment's reflection.
"That's not far away......," Abner nodded thoughtfully, and then bowed slightly apologetically, "I'm sorry, ladies, I'd like to go to the bathroom now, and I'll get back to you later." β
Hopefully there won't be any rumors like Dawn's...... Should I be glad that Furth is honestly on the third floor reading a book?
Abner grunted as he entered the bathroom in the corner of the first floor, and locked the door.
"There are potential dangers in the small town of Kangwa that I can't solve."
After meditating seven times, Abner tossed the "Gold Solomon" high and allowed it to spin and fall to the ground.
Reverse side! It means that there is no danger that I can't solve.
Abner exhaled at this, picked up the gold coin, and was about to open the bathroom door.
But at this moment, his inspiration was suddenly triggered, and he immediately looked at the washing mirror not far in front of him.
At some point, a wheelchair was reflected in the mirror, and the shadow in the wheelchair was so thick that it was impossible to see the specific details, only that there was a child with an obvious abnormality on his left leg.
The boy said in a clear voice:
"After you leave Beckland, try not to use that gold coin."
This tone, this shape, this way of appearance...... The most favored ice cream under the seat of the future "Fool...... No, Angel of Destiny?
"I think you're thinking of something rude." The kid seemed to frown, dissatisfied.
"How so?" Abner hurriedly denied it, considering that the other party was likely to be an angel, his spirit tensed up, and he asked with some vigilance: "Why?" β
The child in the wheelchair sneered and said:
"You ask yourself, can this kind of 'good luck' that doesn't need to be accumulated really be used at no cost?
"Don't say anything about the 'arbiter' of the blood of the extraordinary, it's just a sealing method."
Truly...... Even the "luck" of the "winner" has to be accumulated to release it at once, but this "Gold Solomon" seems to really have no limit...... According to what Hugh said before, even if it is used continuously, it is only that the effect of "good luck" is no longer obvious, and the sealing is more difficult......
So, what exactly does it come from? Is it really just the extraordinary characteristics of the "lucky ones" that are formed? Why hasn't my "Pure White Eye" resolved its anomaly in this regard...... Isn't the analysis of the "Pure White Eye" complete and comprehensive?
Isn't omniscient the same as omniscient?
Or maybe ...... "Gold Solomon" came from the "Mercury Serpent" in front of him? You have to be close to Him to have this effect, so it can only be used in Bakeland? So, what happens once you leave Beckland to use it? Is the lucky collective backlash of the past overdraft?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at the child in a wheelchair in the mirror.
"I know where it came from, but I don't want to tell you...... I'm only here because I promised a friend to give you a heads-up......" The child finished speaking, and disappeared into the washing mirror without waiting for Abner to ask another question.
Abner was stunned, and at this moment he fully understood the mood of Russell the Great who wanted to "beat" the soothsayer, but considering that the "reader" was also a future "prophet", he had to press this somewhat "dangerous" idea.
After washing his hands and going out, Abner did not rush to find Susan and Roman, but called Mr. Scudder, who was making a guest appearance as a butler, and asked casually:
"Is there a child with leg problems who is also coming to the banquet?"
"Detective Bryan, did you see Will?" Mr. Scudder was surprised, thinking that the boy had run out of the lonely himself, and quickly looked around from side to side, but found nothing.
"Will?" Abner asked, feigning confusion.
"Will is the son of Mr. Angsetin, the director of my former trading company." Mr. Scudder hurriedly explained.
Will Onsetin? What the "young" angel of my Lord is......
Abner nodded imperceptibly, but had no intention of meeting the other party immediately.
He had a vague hunch that now wasn't a good time to meet Will.
And the other party is a "mercury snake", if he wants to communicate with himself, he will inevitably give a way to contact; On the other hand, if the other party does not want to see him, he will not be able to see him even if he comes to the door.
After asking Will about him, Abner did not disturb Mr. Scudder any longer, and turned back to the place where he had been chatting with Susan, only to find Hugh there, as if he was talking to Susan.
Seeing Abner approaching, Hugh noticed it immediately, immediately greeted him, and said a little anxiously: "Abner, I have something I want to tell you." β
Abner was not much surprised that Hugh came downstairs to find him, after all, this was the bureau he had set up, so he nodded without hesitation: "Okay, let's go upstairs and talk." β
After speaking, he turned to Susan and the others again, and said apologetically: "I have something to do, I will miss the company first......"
"What about the weekend?" Susan remembered the invitation she had given to the other party and asked.
"Don't worry, I'll be a good 'flower messenger'." Abner smiled in response, and then walked into the stairwell with Hugh.
Susan watched the two leave, muttered and said, "The aura of the two of them seems to be ah...... It seems gentle, but it gives me the feeling that we can only listen obediently to whatever we say,"
Hearing this, Roman was silent for a moment, then looked at his friend and classmate, and whispered, "Susan." β
"What?" Susan turned her head, confused.
"You...... Know the extraordinary? Roman asked after a moment's hesitation.
"The Extraordinary?"
"Abner and that Miss Hugh should be extraordinary......
"The world they're in...... It's not the same with us! β
β¦β¦
At the door of the study on the third floor, Hugh stopped, his face full of hesitation, but after struggling between losing face and losing his life for three seconds, he still said frankly:
"Abner, I made a mistake......"
Although he knew it, Abner pretended to be both dazed and concerned, and asked, "What is wrong?" β
"I ...... When I watched "The Feast of Blood" just now, I recited a 'honorable name'......" Hugh lowered his head, a little weak. It was as if he was a schoolboy waiting to be reprimanded by his teacher.
"Fools?" Abner kept his usual persona in front of Hugh, guessing the result "very quickly" and pronouncing the word in Rune.
"That's right......" Hugh looked even more frustrated when she heard the word, why didn't she think of translating into Rune first?
"Abner, do you know which existence this honorific name recorded by the Duke of the Blood Clan points to? Could it be that He has already paid attention to me? Will...... Will there be any terrible consequences? β
Hugh said as he took another deep breath to hide his nervousness.
Be concerned about things that are certain, but terrible consequences...... Will you feel more and more that you don't have enough money to spend?
As for the rest, there's no need to worry, after all, that mysterious being can't beat you right now......
Although she thought so in her heart, Abner also knew that Hugh was actually very worried now, and she was probably able to maintain such a calm because she had some similar experience after a previous overseas experience, and she had encountered the high-level extraordinaries of the ancient dragon and the Tamara family in East Chester County.
Pretending to think for a moment, Abner comforted him gently: "You don't have to be too afraid, since there have been no terrible consequences until now, it means that this honorific name is not very dangerous...... Well, I'll write to Viscount Karen in a moment. β
Hearing Abner's words, he sensed from his tone that the matter might not be too serious, Hugh's face softened a lot, and then he asked hesitantly, "What...... Can you simulate the 'Holy Light' and perform an exorcism ritual for me?" By the way, when I was reciting the honorific name, Furth was beside me, and she had to exorcise evil spirits together. β
Is this the future "judgment" and "magician" let the "tower" drive out the "fools"?
