Chapter 340: Lydia and Tran
The feather hat is beautiful in shape and made of exquisite materials, and you can tell at a glance that it is from a famous artist.
And it was not surprising that Abner would recognize it, for it was the gift that Karen had brought to his sister through his hand......
So this little girl is Karen's sister who is less than a hundred years old? Is she going to sea for an adventure? Karen: Does he know?
Many questions flashed in his mind, and Abner didn't stare at the girl too much, nor did he know the meaning of her identity, but let his eyes pass over to her and look at the other teenager.
The boy also looked to be sixteen or seventeen years old, handsome, fair-skinned, even better than Miss Gwen's...... In addition, he had bright blue hair and blue-gray eyes, and was now looking at Abner and Gaston with a scrutinizing gaze.
Seeing Abner looking at his companion, Miss Gwen enthusiastically introduced him: "They are my new companions, the new 'shareholders' of the 'Alenheim'......"
Shareholder? It seems that your ship can be equipped with cannons and modified armor, so it turns out that there is a money owner who invests it......
Well, the Bloods are not bad at money, and as long as they don't spend all their money on "hobbies" like Emlyn, they must be rich......
And the boy can see from his face and posture that he is absolutely = well-born, and he doesn't know where he can't think of going to adventure at sea......
Hehe, it won't be a bear kid who ran away from home in anger, right?
While Abner was thinking nonsense, the girl who seemed to be Karen's sister didn't wait for Gwen to finish her introduction, she stepped forward, tilted her head, and said with a cute look, "My name is Lydia, and it's a pleasure to meet you." ”
After speaking, she also pulled the young man over, pointed at him, and said with a smile: "This guy's name is Tran, he has a very awkward temperament, he doesn't like to talk, and he doesn't fit in...... Don't bully him. ”
The young man named Tran suddenly broke free of Lydia's hand, and said with a flushed face, "Who is awkward! Also, don't borrow your hand and feet when talking nonsense! ”
It's a good relationship! It's just a little too lively...... However, centenarians persecute teenage boys...... It's a sense of déjà vu......
Seeing this, the corners of Abner's mouth twitched, deliberately ignoring the previous farce, and greeted them with a smile: "I'm also glad to meet you." ”
Miss Gwen couldn't help but cover her forehead when she saw her companion making a fuss in front of the guests, separating the two boys and girls who were fighting.
Later, as the time for the Tarot meeting was getting closer, Abner and Miss Gwen confessed, and then, under the pretext that they needed to take care of something, they went to the cabin that Gwen had prepared for him, led by the boy named Tran.
Mr. Gaston, on the other hand, did not want to enter the cabin, but stayed on deck and enjoyed the view of the sea.
When he walked to the door of the cabin, Tran, who had blue hair, hesitated for a moment, but said, "Brian, sir, don't listen to Lydia's nonsense, I'...... I just didn't know how to get along with the sailors on the ship...... It's not an introvert, not a talkative ......."
I care a lot about other people's opinions.,This seems to be a teenager who is looking for recognition...... Could it be that this is also the reason why he went out to take risks alone?
Speculating without a basis in his heart, Abner smiled and comforted him on the surface: "I understand that you and they do not have a common language. You probably don't like to hear what they talk about. You're afraid you're the only one on this ship who can talk to Miss Lydia and Miss Gwen, right? In this way, those sailors will probably reject you even more, and even say something unpleasant behind your back. ”
"How do you know?" Tran's eyes widened in surprise, some of the grievances he had secretly suffered had not even been told to the captain.
"It's simple reasoning." Abner smiled and replied in a low voice.
Yes, this is one of his few but genuine reasoning.
"Yes, you are a well-known detective with a reputation in a country, how can I hide this question from you......" Tran said suddenly.
"You don't have to force yourself to cater to others." Abner could roughly guess what would happen to a misfittable boy like Tran on the ship, so he briefly persuaded him.
The boy pursed his lips and stubbornly did not reply, and only said apologetically after a while: "I'm sorry, Detective Brian, I delayed your time." ”
With that, he walked briskly out of the cabin and back on deck.
The upbringing is very good, but the temperament is indeed a little awkward. I haven't been bullied too much by those seafarers on the ship, I'm afraid Lydia is behind the help, right?
And Lydia poked this matter in front of me and Mr. Gaston as soon as we met, and it was also an opportunity to joke him in front of outsiders, so that he could get rid of that stubbornness to seek approval, right?
I have to say that this kind of stimulation is really just right, it will not embarrass Tran too much, and it will implicitly point out his problem......
You might even want to take advantage of me...... The Bloodline girl probably came out wearing that hat on purpose...... There's a good chance she already knew about me......
There are so many eyes, even if Karen only treats her as a little girl, but she has lived for nearly a hundred years after all......
Abner shook his head at Tran's distant back, then glanced at a bat hiding in the corner before closing the door and building a spiritual wall to separate the inside and the outside.
On the deck, Lydia, who was skillfully handling the sails, pouted and looked worriedly at Tran, who had returned to the deck from the cabin.
……
After sealing off the room with spirits, Abner looked at his pocket watch and felt that there was still some time left for him to set up a ritual to summon Silica.
I don't know if it's an illusion, Abner found that Celica's illusory feathers seemed to be condensed, and the original "projector" level of visual effects evolved to the "AR" level......
After paying for a bottle of "Amanda Elixir", Sirika picked up Abner's improvised letter and disappeared into the cabin.
……
At three o'clock in Beckland's time, streaks of crimson light rose from the vast and ancient palace, outlining the same vague figures.
"Justice" Audrey led the crowd to get up, looked at the top, and said briskly:
"Good afternoon, Mr. 'Fool'~"
During this period, Abner glanced at Hugh diagonally opposite, and found that she was still dressed as a noble lady, but the style of the skirt had changed, not as gorgeous as before, but delicate and elegant, coupled with the necklace jewelry that was obviously much more expensive, she really looked like a noble lady, I am afraid that Foirth would not recognize her when I sat here......
I don't know where she got this outfit.
While thinking so, Abner saw that Miss "Justice" had greeted everyone one by one, and then looked at the "fool" again, and said with great reserve:
"That 'easy' task you've commissioned is complete."
She deliberately accented the word "simple" in order to find out from Mr. "Fool" whether Lanerus had been removed by his favorite, and whether the tarot-covered death scene was an iconic symbol of the Tarot Society, which Viscount Glerint had come to share with her this morning.
Of course, she also wants to know who the "Iron Man" who helped the night watchman is? Is it also a relative of Mr. "Fool"?
Klein pretended to smile flatly:
"I already know."
After saying this, he sighed leisurely and said:
"Such an era, such a Bakerland, such an East District, the dockland area and the factory area, is really a hotbed for evil gods to descend."
What? "The Hanged Man" Alger was stunned for a moment, suspecting that something was wrong with his ears.
Why would a simple mission lead to the hotbed of the evil gods?
What is the deeper purpose behind Mr. Fool's simple mission? Is this a silent contest between gods?
The "Hanged Man" thought of a lot in an instant, but he forcibly resisted the urge to ask immediately, and planned to ask Beckland what had happened to him recently through the internal channels of the Storm Church first.
At this time, the "world" also spoke up at the right time under Klein's control, telling many real-life cases of the poor in the East Side.
This made Audrey, who first understood the situation of the people at the bottom, very shocked, unable to maintain the state of "audience" at all, and fell into deep shock and confusion.
After coming to his senses, he decided to do his best to guide his father to push for the relevant reform bills.
And after hearing the double reed of "Fool" and "World", Abner, who knew Klein's purpose, also secretly sighed: The hotbed of evil gods is indeed a hotbed of evil gods, but Mr. "Fool", you are actually helping George III......
He had the intention to warn him, but he thought that if the relevant bill was passed, it would indeed be of great help to the people at the bottom, so he thought about it and still didn't say much.
Moreover, this kind of reform is the general trend, and it is difficult to stop it...... This is George III...... No, it's where Adam is really powerful.
"Thank you, Mr. 'Fool', thank you for saving Beckland, your exclamation also made me understand the root of the problem, thank you, Mr. 'World', for letting me know a lot of things that I didn't know before." Audrey restrained her emotions and sincerely thanked the two gentlemen who sat at the top and bottom of the old long table.
Saved Beckland? How big of a deal is this?
"The Hanged Man" Alger frowned, he looked around and found that neither the "Tower" nor the "Trial" showed signs of surprise, apparently he had known it for a long time......
Is only the "sun" as confused as I am? Alger laughed to himself.
At this time, Miss Hugh interjected and reminded: "As far as I know, when the evil god of destruction came, an Aurora Divine Envoy escaped from the hands of His Excellency Sesima, the 'Sword of the Goddess'...... As the madmen do, it is likely that they will retaliate for some time to come...... If anyone lives in Beckland, be careful. ”
Is there really an evil god trying to descend? Which one is it? The Real Creator? Mr. "Fool" turned out to be on a mission to the "true creator"?
I see, I just said how could a big man like "The Fool" pay attention to a small fraudster.
In this way, the "fool" and the "true creator" are mortal enemies!
"The Hanged Man" Alger thought of this, glanced at the "Trial" diagonally opposite, and thought: "Miss "Trial" should be an official extraordinary, otherwise she would not know the details.
I just don't know if she's a "Night Watcher", or a member of "Mechanical Heart" or MI9.
And what will be the background of Mr. "Tower", who is familiar with her and has a close relationship?
