Chapter 240: Layer by Layer Preparation

"Urgent call-up?" Abner asked, handing Hugh a pillow towel to wipe the rain that was dripping down her hair.

"After becoming an MI9 agent, a badge was issued for emergency contact...... "Hugh took the pillow towel, and did not dislike it, and wiped a handful of messy blonde hair indiscriminately, so as to wipe off the excess water, and then took out a badge that had been shattered, and continued, "It was destroyed just now after the call order. ”

"It should be a one-off extraordinary item for communication...... An urgent conscription using such a thing...... I'm afraid it's going to be dangerous! Abner briefly analyzed it with his "pure white eyes" and then said with a solemn face.

At the same time, he thought of the fact that the "Dragon's Tooth" bar where Fanny had been meeting was blocked by MI9 and "Mechanical Heart", and there must be a connection between the two.

Could it be that these two major official organizations used so many manpower to fail to catch the target, but were escaped by the other party, so they recruited a large number of people to search?

No, judging by the urgency of the call-up...... Maybe something happened that they didn't expect......

Hugh listened to Abner's words, pursed his lips and nodded, and said seriously: "I also have a bad premonition...... So when I passed by your house, I thought of coming up to you to borrow the 'Gold Solomon Coins.' ”

Hugh and Foers' new rental house is also in the Joewood area, not far from the Garden Villa on Kings Street.

Didn't you think about pretending not to go if you didn't hear the call? What a silly girl with an excess sense of responsibility and justice......

Abner sighed secretly, but quickly calculated in his heart:

If the target of MI9 is really the "1-025" possessed "Kangwa" Baron, then it will be very dangerous to take this trip!

Not to mention the horror of the "cursed thing" itself, it is just the underground pollution carried by the baron, as long as it leaks some, Hugh is afraid that he will not be able to bear it......

Yes, MI9 temporarily recruited so many supernumeraries, perhaps to prevent the spread of pollution!

So what can I do to help Hugh?

It is certainly unrealistic to follow the past in person, not to mention that this is a secret mission of the official organization, and my appearance there as an outsider will inevitably attract attention

- The witch's "stealth" ability can hide from the middle and low sequence extraordinary, but it can't hide from the demihuman and demigod powerhouses......

Even if I really have the tacit approval of the military and the demigods of the Steam Church, I don't have the ability to fight against the "1" level seal and underground pollution......

In the original book, Hugh and Firth explored the castle, but after being polluted, they still relied on Mr. "Fool" to use the "Source Castle" to kill the virus......

Hey? That's right! I can't help it, it doesn't mean that Klein can't help it! And if I'm not mistaken, the Feast of Blood records the "Secret Contract" ritual, and Mr. "Fool" should have learned how to use it to pry the power of the "Source Castle" in advance......

Thinking of this, Abner reconfirmed, "Is the meeting place in the conscription order you received near the 'Dragon's Teeth' bar on Tucker Street?" ”

"It's not too far from there, really." Hugh replied after a moment's thought.

Then, seeing Abner's face becoming more and more serious, she couldn't help asking, "Abner, do you 'know' something?" ”

Abner nodded, and told Hugh all the information he had learned about Baron "1-025" and "Conva", and finally couldn't help but persuade:

"You're likely to encounter '1-025' in the past, it's very dangerous! It's better not to go over! ”

Hugh pursed her lips, obviously hesitant, but her gaze quickly became firm again, and she looked directly into Abner's eyes and said:

"Abner, thank you for the reminder and advice......

"But the boss in the gold mask didn't treat me badly, and I couldn't run away from danger when he needed my help.

"And I have many friends who live in the Bridge District, and I can't forgive myself for putting them in a desperate situation because they are afraid of danger......

"Besides, if I have to retreat from even such a possible danger, how will I have the courage to continue to explore the truth of my father's grievances? Her father, who is in the kingdom of the goddess, will not agree with ......

"In the end, if I disobey orders, I am afraid that I will be severely punished by MI9 afterwards, and I will not be able to flee again...... In that way, it will be more difficult to touch the truth about the father's grievances, and even the mother and younger brother may be implicated. ”

Listening to Hugh's categorical confession, Abner suddenly remembered what Klein said to Daniz in the original book before saving people in Bansey Harbor......

They are all people who glow with "light"! Worthy of the future Miss "Judgment"! However, Hugh seems to be much more mature than her contemporaries in the original book, and I don't know if it's good or bad......

Abner sighed in his heart, and did not persuade again, for he felt Hugh's determination.

It was because he directly took out the "Gold Solomon's Coins" and the revolver that was suspiciously silently shot from the "Eternal Life Society", handed it to Hugh and said:

"You take all of these with you, and don't be stingy when you use them."

After saying that, Abner quickly arranged the ceremony in the bedroom, took off the "Halo of Light" ring that he had been wearing, and placed it in the corresponding position.

"What is this going to do?" Hugh asked, bewildered, as he watched Abner's movements.

Abner replied as he continued to arrange, "I am preparing for the ritual of the 'Divine Blessing', which can bless you with a 'halo of the sun' that will last for a longer period of time. If you really encounter evil things, you can avoid their invasion. ”

Of course, the most important thing is to be able to maintain the "live broadcast" channel on the "Source Fort" for a long time.

With this in mind, Abner arranged the ritual items and asked Hugh to stand in the corresponding position.

With a series of incantations recited in Hermes, Hugh's surroundings were dyed gold, spreading outward layer after layer, but soon restraining again, leaving only a thin layer against her body.

Seeing that the ritual was successful, Abner hurriedly put the "Halo of Light" ring on Hugh's finger, and then said with a smile: "In this way, as long as you wear it, you can always maintain the 'Purification Aura', and you don't have to worry about the side effects of this ring before the ritual effect expires." ”

Hugh looked at the "halo of light" on his finger, pursed his lips, and after a long time raised his head, and said solemnly, "Thank you, Abner." I'll definitely bring them back safely. ”

Don't set up flags, how unlucky? Should I say a child's word at this time?

Abner complained in his heart, and seeing that Hugh was about to leave through the window, he hesitated for a moment, stopped the other party again, and asked solemnly, "Hugh, do you trust me?" ”

"Nature is trusting." Hugh replied without hesitation, and then asked curiously, "Why do you ask?" ”

"Do you remember the honorific name recorded in The Feast of Blood?" Abner asked instead of answering.

"Yes." Hugh was stunned for a moment and nodded.

"What if...... I mean, if you're in a desperate situation, then recite His name! Abner accentuated his tone, meaning something authentic.

Hugh's eyes widened immediately, but it was very close to the final time of assembly, and she didn't have time to ask in detail, so she only nodded heavily and said, "I know!" He jumped out of the window.

Abner saw her disappear into the night rain and withdrew his gaze.

Then he sat down, leaned forward, and clasped his hands together in a prayer position against his forehead.

Recited in a low voice in Hermes:

"O fool who does not belong to this era, you are the mysterious master above the gray mist, and you are the king of yellow and black who wields good fortune.

"I pray for your gaze; Pray that your ears will be heard;

"I pray that you will shelter Hugh Dilcha and help her succeed in her mission tonight......"

……

After the prayer was over, Abner packed up his ritual items, removed the spiritual wall, and then opened the bedroom door and walked to the study in the corner of the third floor.

Even if he got a response from Mr. "Fool", he was still a little uneasy after all, and planned to follow him in person just in case.

However, since he might be detected by the demigods of the military and the Church of Steam, he decided to ask Jane for help after thinking about it.

Previously, when Jane was broadcasting a naval battle off the coast of Pritz Harbor, she successfully used a special spirit to evade the demigod's induction.
