Chapter 251: Miss Judgment's First Appearance
Soon after, with a ripple in the space, Sirika, a bird with an illusory wing, emerged from the spirit realm with a letter in her mouth.
Abner first rewarded Celica with "Amanda hydrosol", and then opened the envelope and read it carefully:
“…… It's a pleasure to hear from you, but you shouldn't ask me this question, but directly to Celica.
"If she's willing to help you, I'm okay...... Because I'm also trying to figure out her relationship with the original Baron Rumd.
"You must know that Celica was born nearly a thousand years after the era when the original Baron Rumder was active, and she should not have crossed paths with each other...... But the reality is that she has been searching for everything about that baron since her death, even if she later turned into a dead ghost and lost most of her memories, she still loved that castle for a long time and did not want to leave......
Putting down the letter, Abner looked at Celica, who was beside the glass bottle, happily sucking the taste of "Amanda hydrosol", and thought to himself:
Maybe my guess is correct, Sirika is likely to have a close relationship with Mr. Azik......
But how do you convince her to do things for herself?
Hmm, maybe give it a try with the Necronomicon book......
Thinking of this, Abner went to the storeroom and took out the book with the black cover, which seemed to suck out the soul of a person just by looking at it.
It is worth mentioning that due to the "Storm of Light" launched the night before yesterday, in order to save Hugh, Abner took the "Sword of Dawn" to watch the sunrise for two days in a row, and then ignored its "protest" and still sealed it with the strange black book.
On the other side, Celica had just sucked up the "Amanda hydrosol" in the bottle, and looked at the cabinet where Abner had taken out the bottle before with some reluctance, and then withdrew her gaze, intending to flap her illusory wings and return to the spirit world.
But at this moment, she suddenly smelled a breath that made her feathers tremble slightly. The breath both made her yearn and daunt her...... Because that breath once belonged to a real mythical creature.
When Abner returned to her study with the black book, she saw that Silika had gathered her wings like a quail, but her eyes were fixed on the Necronomicon.
Before Abner could speak, Sirika tilted her little head, and then manipulated the black mist that filled her body to combine into a simple line of words in the air:
"Can I keep that book for you?"
You dare to be like you all the time before because you don't really want to communicate with me......
When Abner saw this, he was speechless, because he was still thinking about how to ask the other party......
But leave it to you for safekeeping? Are you sure you won't steal from yourself?
Thinking so, Abner smiled slightly, "Thank you for your kindness, Sirika...... I won't bother you...... But if you can do me a favor, I can allow you to come and 'watch' it for two hours a day. ”
Celica tilted her head, and the mist in the air changed again, reforming a line of Rune's text: "Do you a favor to watch over you?" Didn't I suffer a loss? ”
Don't you know whether you will suffer or not? I didn't expect this little guy to have a big head and a lot of ghosts......
After a few remarks, Abner rolled his eyes, pretended to put away the Necronomicon, and pretended to regret it, "Then forget it...... I'm going back to find a spirit ...... willing to help."
Before he could finish his words, the mist on Birdie's head quickly reorganized into one word: "Deal!" ”
Immediately after, the fog changed again, changing to a line of giant words: "Shame on bullying birds." ”
Don't think I can't read a different text, hey......
The corners of Abner's eyes twitched, pretending that he didn't know the giant text, and his face remained unchanged: "Next Wednesday night, I need you to lead a gentleman to my place......
"I'll tell you more about the details someday, but you can come to me at night these days and help me 'take care' of the Necronomicon."
Celica tilted her head, as if she was thinking, as if she was divining something, and after a while she nodded her head, then glanced at the black book, and after a few chirps, she vibrated her wings and disappeared.
What does this mean? Come back in the evening? Why are you too lazy to communicate?
Abner stroked his forehead, then sealed the Necronomicon before continuing to think:
If nothing else, Mr. Azik will be near Duke Negan's estate next Wednesday night to intercept "Lieutenant General Hurricane" Zielingers.
When the time comes, I only need to have Celica follow Ziringus, and I can meet the "Death Archon" without any problems.
Still, to be on the safe side, I'd better find a way to sneak in with that dance party as well, lest anything happen......
Although, I myself may well be the biggest change...... After all, there are proms and banquets that I attend, and there are only a few who have not had an accident.
After a few words of blackening, Abner gathered his thoughts and thought that he could go to Father Utravsky to find a solution.
Because of Councilor Macht's diligent introduction, the half-giant bishop has achieved remarkable results in the past month, and has established friendly relations with the relatives of many high-ranking nobles.
……
It's Monday in the blink of an eye.
At noon, Abner had eaten and was at home choosing a suitable diary to hand in for the tarot meeting, when Hugh suddenly came to the door with a suitcase.
When the two of them arrived in the study together, Hugh took a large pile of bottles and cans, wigs, dresses, and other things out of the box.
"It's ...... Props for camouflage? Abner asked uncertainly, as he watched Hugh fiddle with the things.
"Of course, I have to make sure I don't get ...... by Audrey Well, it's Miss 'Justice', recognize it! Hugh arranged the things in a different way before he looked at Abner and said, "You go out and wait, I need to put on makeup and change clothes......"
Is this because she thinks that it is difficult to explain that there is a Furth in her own house, so she came to me? But what exactly is she going to look like?
The thought swirled through his mind, and Abner opened the door and left the study.
After waiting in the corridor for about an hour, Hugh's voice seemed much softer from the study: "Come in." ”
Abner felt a little strange when he heard the voice, but he didn't think much about it, and opened the door with his hand, but he was stunned immediately after, and almost asked: Miss, who are you?
It turned out that there was a long-haired blonde beauty in her early sixties standing in the study, dressed in a classical court dress and a feather hat.
If it weren't for Hugh's appearance, Abner wouldn't have dared to recognize it.
And it seems that because of the makeup, Hugh's originally somewhat baby-fat face has become less obvious...... If she goes out like this, I'm afraid that only people who are very familiar with her will be able to recognize her.
This is comparable to the "Asian evil arts" of the previous life......
Abner complained in his heart, but said with a smile on the surface: "In the country of Mr. 'Fool', the members of the Tarot Society can't see each other's faces, and you don't need to put makeup on your face. ”
This is actually a psychological suggestion...... When I dressed up like this, I naturally wanted to simulate this kind of personality. Hugh replied slowly, in a tone like that of a noblewoman educated by a lady's education, but in the same words as Hugh he was familiar with.
But Hugh does seem to have received a similar education as a child...... Is this a reliving of old childhood dreams? Abner secretly wondered, but on the surface he reminded, "You still have to pay attention to the rhetoric. ”
Hugh nodded thoughtfully and replied, "This time first, just wait for me to talk as little as possible at the tarot meeting." ”
But she made up her mind to secretly find a noble lady to study hard, so she should help Folth to learn materials.
……
Three o'clock in the afternoon.
Hugh, whose gaze had recovered from crimson and hazy, once again saw the infinite gray mist that did not belong to reality, the palace that looked like the abode of giants, and the three men shrouded in gray mist sitting opposite him.
According to the information Abner told her, it was "the Hanged Man", "Tower", and "Sun".
And the "tower" is Abner!
In an instant, Hugh's slightly tense and anxious mood eased, which was true to what Abner said, so it meant that what he had described before should be true, not his imagination after being bewitched and mad by the evil god......
Of course, maybe I'm crazy too......
While Hugh was spying on the rest of the members, Miss Audrey "Justice" had proudly straightened her back, raised her chin slightly, and greeted cheerfully:
"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool~
"Good afternoon, Mr. Hangman~
"Good afternoon, Mr. Tower~
"Good afternoon, Mr. Sun!
"Good afternoon, ......"
It was only then that Audrey suddenly lowered her head to the seat separated by a seat, and there was actually an extra lady.
New members? I was just thinking about Chillingus, but I didn't even notice it...... It's so undeserved!
After some self-examination, Audrey turned her attention to Mr. "Fool" at the top of the list, looking forward to the introduction of this mysterious being.
But how did he know that Klein was also looking at Hugh dumbfounded under the cover of the gray fog at this time, and let out the same exclamation in his heart as Abner had before:
"Miss, who are you?
"Did I pull the wrong person?"
