Joint blockade? It's just that some extraordinary people disappeared after investigating the mausoleum, and it stands to reason that the official reaction should not be so violent......

And if the official is really to investigate the incident of Amon's mausoleum, the young lady in front of him has no chance to escape......

Having worked with "desolates" such as Cullen and Judy, Abner knows what the official Extraordinaire team is all about, and if they really want to get information, they won't be polite to the low-level extraordinaries in the party, after all, as long as they catch it, there is always a way to make the other party speak.

After thinking for a moment, Abner pondered his words and asked, "Fanny, you were at the party just now?" Which bar is it? How did you get out? ”

Fanny took a sip of the black tea that Abner had specially prepared for the servant, stabilized her panicked mood for a moment, and then replied:

"After I got the 'Barbarian' potion recipe you gave me, I've been attending various extraordinary gatherings frequently these days, trying to buy the 'Solid Unicorn Crystal of the Earth Rhinoceros'......

"That party was at the 'Dragon's Tooth Bar', located at 22 Tucker Street in the Bridge area near Jowood...... This gathering is not low-level, and there may even be high-level extraordinary people in attendance, so we got the news before MI9 and the 'Mechanical Heart' arrived, so that we could evacuate in time......

"Well, my carriage ran into a team of 'Hearts of the Machines' and MI9 before it was far from that block...... I knew two of them, so I was able to identify them. ”

Hearing this, Abner interrupted: "You were not intercepted or interrogated? ”

"......No," Fanny shook her head, and now that she had come back to her senses, she also noticed that something seemed to be wrong, and guessed hesitantly, "My carriage was borrowed from a friend...... Maybe it's because they know the badge on the carriage? ”

Although I don't know what Miss Fanny's specific identity is, I think it has something to do with the official, and the identity of her friend should not be low, and it may even be similar to Miss Emma......

But this is not a reason for officials not to conduct inspections and stop interrogations...... The fact that they let the extraordinaries of the party go so easily shows that the official purpose is not on them at all, but on the bar...... Or maybe there's something near the bar that they care about more!

“1-025”？ Devil dogs? Or Zielingers? No, Zilingers doesn't have that much face yet, and the Demon Dog's investigation is mainly followed by the "Night Watchman" and the police......

Could it be that the official "prophecy" or "divination" has reached the trace of "1-025", so it is controlled in advance? Used Arodes?

Of course, it could be some other case that I don't know......

Thinking of this, Abner briefly talked to Fanny about his guesses, and only hid the part where he guessed the official goal.

Fanny was now convinced of Abner's reasoning ability, and when she heard him say this, she immediately relieved herself.

But after relaxing, the young lady immediately felt that the clothes on her body were not very comfortable, and she looked down and found that the cloth had been tightly attached to her body because the rain had wet the robe, which was more uncomfortable.

She pursed her lips and said with some embarrassment, "Abner, can I take a shower and dry my clothes at your place...... Staying overnight? ”

Abner followed her gaze and then withdrew his gaze, he was not embarrassed, after all, this young lady's good figure had been admired by the other party when he tried on the "wolf armor" before......

However, hearing Fanny's request, Abner finally came back to his senses, and he had not paid attention to it just now, but now he faintly realized that he might have been slightly calculated by the other party.

Since Fanny can recognize the members of the official team, the probability that the other party will recognize her is not small! Even if the official has something to do now and has no time to pay attention to it, it is very likely that when he frees up his hands, he will find out why this young lady travels by car at night......

That's why she came to me instead of Emma, whom she trusted more, right? Is this using me as a shield? After checking it out, eighty percent will say that they have a private meeting with me, right?

Of course, it is not excluded that this young lady had a hot brain and found an acquaintance nearby without thinking......

Although he was a little speechless, Abner was not such a stingy person, and with his special status, the official would not trouble him for such a trivial matter, so he acquiesced to Fanny's request and nodded: "I will ask Mrs. Scudder to prepare a change of clothes and a guest room for you." ”

And the rain outside is getting heavier and heavier, and you can hear it inside the house, so it's really not suitable to continue going out.

After that, he muttered for a moment, and then tapped the other party again: "Don't take it as an example." ”

Regardless of whether the young lady understood or not, Abner stood up and beckoned to Mrs. Scalder, and in the astonished gaze of the other party, briefly told Miss Fanny about her stay, and asked the other party to help prepare.

"Thank you for taking me in, Abner." Miss Fanny got up and bowed to the hem of her skirt, and then followed Mrs. Scudder to the guest room.

After arranging the uninvited guests, Abner returned to the study on the third floor, intending to read a little more before going to bed.

But as soon as he entered the study, he keenly discovered some inconsistencies, and his heart was suddenly shocked. You must know that the study is connected to his secret storage room, where some magical items and superfluous charms and extraordinary materials are also sealed, and he has arranged a lot of ritual magic and spell traps here.

The fact that someone was able to get around his arrangement without him noticing that it was unusual in itself was that Abner was on high alert, and not only opened the "Pure White Eye", but also put on the "Halo of Light" ring and the "Hand of Wisdom" gloves.

At this moment, a black mist suddenly filled the study, and then at the source of the mist, a pretty figure slowly appeared, it was Abner's classmate Jane Grant, whom he had not seen for a long time.

"Abner, it's me...... Hehe, why do we get nervous every time we meet. Jane looked at Abner, who was still on guard, and joked with a smile.

That's your problem...... Who made you appear in the same way as a female ghost every time you came over, and it was always in the middle of the night......

Abner complained in his heart, looked at Jane carefully, and found that this young lady had changed a lot from when she met in Port Enmat more than a month ago.

The hair grew longer and the color was duller, almost out of the category of "golden...... However, her temperament has softened a lot, and she is no longer as cold as before, which can be regarded as a good change.

Seeing that the other party only looked at herself and did not speak, Jane deliberately turned around in place and asked in a mocking tone, "Who is more beautiful, me or the young lady who visited just now?" ”

You're prettier, but Fanny has a better figure.

After such a sentence came to his mind, Abner shook his head, did not answer the question, and instead asked, "Jane, when did you come back?" ”

Jane didn't ask, she asked the original intention of the sentence was to eliminate the strangeness of not seeing her for a long time, to close the distance, and replied with a smile: "Beckland, who just arrived today, came to see you."

"I wanted to scare you by suddenly appearing, but I didn't expect me to hide it so well, and I was aware of it...... You're really good. ”

Knowing that it was Jane, Abner no longer wondered how easily his ritual had been spied on.

After all, he was at the heart of all the set-up in his study, the Book of the Necromy, which had strange powers, and Jane was obviously more familiar with the book, so she could easily get around those pitfalls.

However, Abner was more curious about Jane's way of hiding herself, considering that even his "pure white eyes" had not been able to penetrate the other party's hide.

Since I didn't see it, I couldn't "parse" it, because I didn't learn it.

"You just drove some kind of invisible spirit?" Abner asked, somewhat reluctantly.

"It's a spirit with an extremely weak sense of existence, and I've borrowed some of its abilities...... And it's here right now. Jane covered her mouth and snickered.

Abner carefully checked it several times, but still found nothing, so he had to give up.

The "Pure White Eye" is really ineffective at "analyzing" spirits.

After a secret sigh, Abner and Jane talked about their experiences in the past few days.

"You've been through so much in one month...... No wonder it got the title of 'Hero Detective', although it sounds a little watery now......"

Abner's experience made Jane hear it sometimes worried, sometimes hilarious, sometimes angry, sometimes sentimental, and finally sighed.

Abner cupped his forehead and said speechlessly: "Now that you know the details, don't mention that title again." ”

"Although it is not your intention, but from the point of view of the results, from the perspective of those victims, you can afford the word 'hero'." Jane first affirmed Abner's sentence, and then changed the tone and asked:

"Abner, you wrote to me to inquire about the Ancestral Tomb because of the possession of '1-025' Baron Conva, and the 'Old John' inn in the small town of Conva?"

"That's right...... The main reason is that I feel that I seem to have some special fate with '1-025', and I may encounter it one day, so I want to know more about the people it possesses. Abner nodded, earnestly.

Jane pondered for a moment, then pondered, "As for the details of that adventure, I can't tell you because I signed a contract with that big man...... That's all I can tell you......

"First, the tomb of the ancestors is not in the underworld, but in the depths of Calderon in the spirit world! The ruins in the Raging Sea served a similar effect to the ceremonial building built by the Baron of Conva, except that the passage was more stable and bidirectional, thanks to the transformation of Russell the Great.

"Hehe, even if the Baron 'Kangwa', who may be my ancestor, successfully completes the ritual and makes the mausoleum that was built coincide with the burial chamber of Calderón for a short time, he will not be able to enter or leave......"

Russell? He really entered the mausoleum of Ancestor Jian! So, it's likely that the "Reaper" card was placed there...... I just don't know if it's in Jane's hands or in Bernadette's hands...... Well, it's probably the latter, and one of the purposes she sent Jane to explore the ruins was probably the blasphemous card.

But sleeping deep in the city of Calderón? Could it be the other hand of the "Grim Reaper"? I remember in the original book, when Rosell talked to Klein, he said that the "Grim Reaper" might have other "foreshadowing......

As soon as Abner thought of this, he heard Jane continue:

"Second, I suspect that Mr. John, who built Old John's Inn more than a hundred years ago, may have succeeded...... Because I found his body and spirit in the tomb of my ancestors...... Hehe, the "Necronomicon Book" actually came from him, and along with that book was his diary. Some of the contents of the diary are basically the same as what you just said about 'Old John'.

"I guess the inn had more underground structures, which were the main body of the ritual, but it briefly overlapped with the ancestors' tombs and then destroyed on its own.

"Thirdly, I didn't make it to the main hall of the ancestors' mausoleum, so I don't know the specific situation inside...... I don't know who He is......"

I remember that the Baron mentioned in his diary that he named his illegitimate son and that of Lady Austin was "John", could it be that the bastard lived for hundreds of years, and finally waited for the best time to enter the mausoleum more than a hundred years ago...... In the end, he died there because he couldn't get out?

Not necessarily, there are many people who have been called by the same name for generations of the Rune father and son, and it may also be the descendant of the illegitimate son John.

In the midst of his thoughts, Abner realized what Jane was calling her ancestors, and repeated with a solemn expression: "He? ”

"That's right! He! That's the only thing I'm sure of. Jane nodded heavily.

Abner was silent for a moment, and asked no more, he looked at the clock, and saw that it was almost twelve o'clock in the night, and thought that Jane had no home in Beckland, so he turned to laugh and said:

"It's late today, let's talk tomorrow...... Well, I can only grieve you in the study for one night......"

Jane is still wanted by the Storm Church, and her identity is not visible, so it is difficult to implicate the Skader couple, who are still ordinary people, and they can't arrange a guest room.

"It's okay, this is the sofa in the study that is very comfortable." Jane doesn't care, the conditions at sea are much worse than here.

After secretly bringing some food and drink from the kitchen to the study, Abner said goodnight to Jane and returned to his bedroom to get ready to rest.

But tonight seemed destined to be eventful, and just as Abner was changing into his pajamas and preparing for bed, the glass of his bedroom was suddenly knocked, and Hugh's drenched figure was clinging to the window.

What the hell is going on today? Could it be that there is still a night party girl in the correct interpretation of "Wheel of Fortune"?

Abner couldn't help but complain, and then had to resign himself to getting up from the bed, opening the window, and letting Hugh in.

"Abner, I've been urgently called up by MI9! But I have a bad premonition. ”
