Chapter 322: Parting
Abner had just stepped onto the platform with the case on his back when he saw Hugh and Furth, who had been waiting there, greet him.
Not far behind them was a hesitant Hazel, who finally hesitated, stopped, and did not step forward.
Fanny was standing farther away from Miss Emma, who was holding her, and when she saw Abner looking at her, she beckoned to him happily.
The Skadders glanced at the scene, then tacitly took a few steps back to help Detective Bryan guard his suitcase.
To be honest, Abner was a little surprised to see so many friends and acquaintances on the platform.
He secretly analyzed:
It is natural to adjourn the meeting to see him off, after all, he said hello yesterday when he parted;
Miss Fanny's arrival is not surprising, I have just helped her out of Mr. Surrey's troubles, and her arrival at the station is a courtesy......
Furth's words...... She was tormented by the whispering the last time she was full moon...... There is something unbalanced in mind...... According to Hugh, she even planned to try something addictive, but Hugh stopped her in time...... So, is she worried that she won't be able to survive the next full moon and come to see me for the last time?
But why are Hazel and Emma here? Even if they wanted to see me off, they wouldn't be able to come out...... Emma, in particular, had to meet in the middle of the night before......
As many thoughts crossed his mind, Abner gestured to Hugh, who knowingly pulled away from Furth and made way.
Abner walked past them to Hzyel and said with a smile, "Pastor Macht, thank you for coming to see me off......"
Turning her head slightly, Hazel replied, "Originally, Father Utrawski wanted to come and see you off in person, but he couldn't get out of his way because of some things, so he asked me ......to do it for me," she said, taking a bag from her bag and handing it over, she continued, "This is what the Bishop asked me to pass on to you. ”
Abner took the bag and casually asked, "What's going on with the bishop?" Can I help you? ”
Hazel shook her head and said flatly, "The priest caught a vampire who trespassed into the church last night, and he couldn't come here himself because he had to guard him. ”
Trespassing? Bloodsucker? This is Emlyn's final arrest...... No, it's Emlyn who finally worships the right God! It's a pity that I'm going to Damir to break through the Dream Labyrinth Tower, otherwise I'll have to get acquainted with him.
Thinking of this, Abner opened the bishop's bag and found that there was a certificate of identity, a certificate of identity of the clergy of the Mother Earth God Church.
And there is a blank in the name of the certificate, which seems to default to the fact that Abner can fill in whatever he wants.
Is this expected that I will continue to mess around outside after breaking through the Labyrinth Tower? After poking and scolding in the abdomen, Abner nodded at Hazel and said, "Thank you for me, Bishop...... Let him bother! ”
Although this document is eighty percent of Lilith's handwriting......
Turning this thought, Abner "respectfully" drew a simple "baby" on his chest and recited: "Thank you, the source of life!" ”
Hazel also connected the dots on his chest and said in a low voice: "Praise you, mother of all things!" ”
Then, she looked at Abner and whispered, "Thank you for your recommendation...... I've joined that club...... And also...... Have a great trip. Speaking of this, her face clearly showed yearning and envy.
Even after experiencing the severed hand and the bishop's teachings, this young lady still yearns for the mysterious world...... Abner sighed inwardly, and smiled on the surface, "Thank you for your blessings, my friend. ”
"Are we friends?" Hazel looked up in surprise.
"It's been a long time coming." The corners of Abner's mouth curled slightly, and from the moment you chose to take my word for it and catch that chandelier for the innocent, I thought you were a true friend.
……
After speaking to Hazel, Abner turned and walked up to Fanny and Emma, and saluted her chest, "It is my greatest honour to see you here." ”
Fanny looked at him a few times, and when she saw the familiar chain around his neck, her eyes suddenly bent.
Emma shook her finger and said, "Fanny is the only one who has come to see you off, but I have come to the station to pick up my poor father and go home." ”
Emma's father? Viscount Horatio? He appears to be the captain of one of the Navy's capital ships...... Is this a return debriefing? But why do you want to describe it as "pitiful"?
And, even from Pritzhaven, the first train arrives in Beckland at 10 o'clock...... Miss, are you here a little early?
Fanny seemed to see Abner's doubts, and looked at Emma, only to explain a little after the latter bowed slightly and created a spiritual wall:
"Viscount Horatio's battleship encountered the 'Pale Admiral' in the Sea of Moby Dick five days ago, and was defeated and captured by the opposing side......
"Fortunately, the 'Pale Admiral' only kills those who have clearly committed evil deeds...... And Viscount Horatio, as a model soldier and a decent style, was released by the other party......
"But the fact that the goods he had transported and the fact that he himself had been captured was still a stain on the viscount, so he temporarily lost his military post and had to return to Beckland."
"Pale Admiral" ...... This replaced the "Hell General" Ludwell, the "Pirate General" who did not appear in the original book, Abner has also heard of it, and even mentioned the "Hanging Man" at the previous tarot meeting.
Although this lady, who has many names such as "Pale Admiral" and "Holy Maiden of the Sword", is suspected to be from the "Spirit Order", she is completely different from the "Hell Admiral".
She never plundered passenger ships and legal merchant ships, but only ships that carried the goods plundered by the military, consortia, and some unscrupulous merchants from the southern continent, so although she did almost no evil, the bounty grew quickly, and now it has reached 40,000 pounds, only slightly less than the "blood general".
What is even more strange is that this lady, as a pirate, likes to administer justice...... When some persecuted families joined her ranks, the first thing she did was to get justice for them.
Therefore, although the "Pale Admiral" Maria has debuted for a short time, she has already gained a group of henchmen who are dead to her.
Thinking of the rumors of the "Pale Admiral", Abner said to Emma apologetically on the surface:
"I'm sorry, but my question reminded you of something unpleasant, Miss."
Emma shook her head and said, "There is no need to apologize, in fact, this is a good thing...... My father's safe return is my mother's and my greatest wish. ”
……
Abner and the two young ladies spoke for a while before they said their goodbye and turned back to Hugh and Furth.
"Abner, you're really busy." Seeing him approaching, Furth said with a smirk.
How is it weird...... The corners of Abner's eyes twitched, and he shot back: "I didn't expect you to get up at this time to see me off." ”
"I got up early today, mainly because Miss Audrey asked me and Hugh to go hunting in the hunting grounds, and I just dropped you off." Not to be outdone, Furth was authentic.
Audrey invited? She's quite actionable...... I received an expedition from the "Fool" yesterday, and today I will convey it to Hugh and Firth?
Thinking this in his heart, Abner thought for a moment, then blocked the surroundings with spirituality, and said solemnly to Hugh: "You can do what you can for the task that Miss Audrey conveyed, don't go too deep......"
"There's a lot of danger?" Hugh Wenyan also became serious and asked tentatively.
"You may even encounter a strong person like Mr. A...... If you have any clues, report them directly to the Church of the Night, and let them deal with them. Abner admonished.
"Report to the ......Church of the Night," Hugh chewed on the sentence and said thoughtfully, "Is there someone in MI9 who is also in collusion with the organization behind Laneus?" Mr. A...... Will the Aurora? ”
"You just need to know it in your heart." Abner nodded.
"I see, don't worry." Hugh raised his head to look into Abner's eyes and said seriously.
On the other side, Furth, who was isolated by the spiritual blockade, looked confused and asked, "What are you talking about?" ”
……
Seeing that the departure time was approaching, Abner ended the conversation with Hugh and found the Scade couple who were guarding the salute not far away, and retrieved the suitcase.
Unexpectedly, he met another friend here, that is, Mike reporter of the "Daily Observer".
It had been a while since the other party came, but he didn't come forward until he saw Abner maneuvering between the five young ladies.
"I'm guessing you don't want to see a journalist here." Mike quipped with a smile as he glanced at the young ladies who were paying attention to the young ladies here.
"I don't think the Daily Observer is the kind of tabloid that makes up nonsense." Abner didn't understand what he meant, and shook his head.
"It's not okay to make things up, but your current situation is, in the words of Russell the Great, 'there are pictures and truths'...... I think it can bring in a lot of sales. Mike deliberately pointed to his camera.
Looking at the small camera, although he knew that Mike was joking, Abner still mourned for his increasingly "difficult" reputation, and smiled helplessly: "Anyway, thank you for coming to send me ......" As the only male friend who came to send me, it didn't make my reputation fall to the bottom completely.
"You're welcome...... " Reporter Mike waved his hand, and after a few more words of greeting with Abner, he inadvertently sighed, "I originally wanted to ask you to protect me to go to the 'Golden Rose' investigation, but unfortunately you happened to be out...... Luckily, Talim introduced me to a detective, and I'll meet him at the Kragg Club later. ”
……
Sitting in a window seat on the train, Abner waved again to his friends who saw him off.
He had a hunch that it would be a long time before he left Beckland this time, so he said goodbye to his friends who came to see him off one by one......
Woo! Woo! Woo!
As the whistle sounded and the steam train started slowly, Abner glanced back at his friends, then withdrew his gaze and secretly chanted, "O fool who does not belong to this age......
I'm going online to learn!
