Chapter 388: Unlucky
In other words, not only do you have to face the dangers of the ruins, but you also have to guard against other "investigators...... Sure enough, the "Dream Labyrinth Tower" is more difficult than the other......
With this in mind, Abner looked at the "bell ringer" Kano again and asked, "Is there any more information about that ruin?" ”
Kano shook his head and replied, "I know so much, and Councillor Rejord also wrote down the results of his 'observations' on that map...... However, there should be more detailed information from the Governor's Palace, after all, the few adventurers who returned alive were all under house arrest by Governor Olavi. ”
Governor Olavi ...... The younger brother of the hapless admiral? In the original book, he seemed to be planning something big, and finally provoked the organization whose name he couldn't name, and he had to go back to Beckland...... It is also unknown if his plan came before this expedition to the ruins, or if it happened later......
Forget it, it's none of my business...... Well, there is still nearly a day and a half until tomorrow night, and it can't be completely wasted, since there may be intelligence in the Governor's Palace, it is still necessary to make a trip.
With a plan in mind, Abner picked up the map and said goodbye to the "bell ringer".
If it was in reality, Abner would definitely not be so reckless, and he would have to go through many reconnaissances to determine the time when the demigod admiral was not there before he dared to enter the governor's palace.
The gall is just a dream scene, and it can be separated at any time, so there is no need to be so "fine", and there is a "capital" to gamble.
Kano didn't keep it, but after saying "be careful", he picked up a copy and read it to himself.
But when Abner's figure disappeared from the doorway, he put down his book again, sat quietly for a while, and when he was sure that Abner was far away, he immediately left the bell tower and went around to a nearby stone bridge.
As soon as he approached the bridge on the far left, Kano stopped and said in a deep voice:
"Mr. Councillor, the 'investigator' from the Storm Church has already arrived, and I gave him that map."
"Good." A hoarse voice rang from the depths of the gloomy bridge.
"But I always felt that something was wrong with this 'investigator'...... It's not like a storm......"
Before Kano could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by the hoarse voice, "We're just cooperating with the 'Storm Church', you don't have to worry about their own affairs. ”
"Yes...... Mr. Parliamentarian. Kano replied respectfully and then took his leave and returned to the bell tower.
After he left, the voice in the bridge sounded again, as if confused and confused:
"Not quite right? yes, I don't think that's quite right either...... It's not just one person, it's the whole world...... But there's nothing wrong with it...... Am I close to getting out of control? It's not quite like it......"
……
On the other side, Abner, who had left the clock tower, first found a casino, opened the "Pure White Eye" to simulate the "guide" ability, and won some money from a few gamblers - although he had gold pounds on him, he couldn't spend real money in dreams, so thanks to that......
Since it was only a "small" amount of a dozen pounds, which did not attract the attention of the casino, Abner successfully entered the port city of Olavi Island with the money he had won, found a hotel, opened a normal room, and stayed.
Taking out his pocket watch and looking at it, he saw that it was only three o'clock in the afternoon, and that it was still some time before dark, so Abner decided to take the port city as a traveler and find out the location of the Doge's Palace.
The city is dominated by new immigrants from Rune, and its food style is not much different from that of the east coast of the kingdom, except that it has a bit of a unique variety of fresh and rare fruits and a variety of seafood.
It is rich in natural resources and is at a key point in the safe shipping lane, and people are living quite well, even farmers in the suburbs can save a certain amount of money through orchards.
This is not to say that there are no poor people, no lower strata in Olawe, but that this class is mainly filled by the original slaves - the Rune Council has already passed a bill to abolish slavery.
Swallowing the juicy, sweet flesh, Abner glanced across the street at the Doge's Palace, and walked past its door again, only this time not turning back.
Yes, he had changed into a different image, drank different juices, and walked around the Doge's Palace seven or eight times, and if he came a few more times, he would probably arouse suspicion.
However, just as he was "passing" by the Doge's Palace, he witnessed Admiral Emilius Levitt, accompanied by the blonde secretary, board the carriage protected by the General's Guard.
Abner didn't know exactly where the carriage went, but he didn't think he would return to the Governor's Palace today.
By this time, it was getting dark, and Abner went straight to the hotel where he had booked a room.
He had no intention of sneaking into the Governor's Mansion immediately, even if it wasn't a reality, and he could consider recklessness if necessary...... But you can't really do nothing.
When he returned to the hotel and passed by the bar on the first floor, he suddenly heard some noise inside, and he looked out curiously, but he was a little dumbfounded.
Because at this time, there is a guy in the clothes of "Doctor Strange" who is boasting about his "close" relationship with several female pirate generals.
This made Abner want to cover his face when he heard it, and said in his heart that even if he changed the vest, this kind of reputation would not be able to run?
But at this moment, a sudden change occurred, and the person dressed as "Doctor Strange" actually coughed violently after drinking a glass of South Wil beer, and after only two or three seconds, his face turned purple and he fell to the ground unconscious.
Seeing this scene, everyone first opened their mouths in unison, and the surroundings were quiet, and then suddenly there was an uproar, and the screams and screams were mixed, until a very prestigious old man stepped forward to check, and then gradually calmed down.
"I was choked to death by wine...... "After the old man checked it, he said incredibly, "Although accidents happen from time to time, but this is too fast......"
"That's how Doctor Strange died?" An unknown sailor came back to his senses in surprise.
"What 'Doctor Strange', that kid is Cood in the suburbs, and he is just swaggering and deceiving himself by pretending to be like this! Anyone who frequents this bar knows it. The person next to him sneered.
"I heard that someone at the 'Sweet Lemon' bar had an accident yesterday while pretending to be 'Doctor Strange'......"
"Could it be that the real 'Doctor Strange' doesn't like people to use his name to deceive, so he has imposed a curse?"
"It's really possible for you to say that...... However, I think it's more likely to be the ...... of the 'Immortal King'."
"Shhhh You don't want to die, which king is also what we can talk about? ”
"That's right! Right! Brother, you're right! I almost lost my words after drinking. ”
……
Listening to the wild speculation of these drunkards, Abner has already opened his "pure white eyes" and "retraced" the events that had just happened.
"Is that ...... curse of the 'Whisperers'? No wonder I didn't find any clues beforehand...... 'Death Number' seems to be so angry that I actually put a 'curse' on everyone who dares to call themselves 'Doctor Strange'...... Trying to find me......
"Of course, there must be a certain scope to this, and it won't last long...... If it dares to maintain this ability forever, I am afraid that the official demigods will soon be able to contact the door.
"The personality of the 'Dream Labyrinth Tower' is really not low, and even the ability of sequence 3 level can be shown in the scene......"
In a flash of thought, Abner closed the "Pure White Eye" and silently mourned for the young man, feeling that he was too unlucky.
At the same time, Admiral Emilius Livitt, who was riding in a carriage to the villa near the naval base, wanted to spend the night with his mistress, Miss Cynthia, suddenly received an urgent letter on the way, and had to temporarily return to the governor's palace.
"I always seem to have some sudden things happening lately...... Admiral Emilius said to himself, frowning.
……
In the servant's room of the Governor's Palace, a male servant was sleeping soundly on his bed. Suddenly, a figure quickly sketched out in front of him, from virtual to real.
"Dreams within dreams can also 'shuttle'......" After muttering to himself silently, Abner "simulated" "psychological invisibility", quickly passed through the doors, and headed towards the room where the adventurers were under house arrest.
But at this moment, the quiet governor's palace suddenly became bright again, because Admiral Emilius had returned!
"It won't be that unlucky, will it?"
Abner, who was about to pass through the hall and sneak into the room on the other side of the mansion, was in a dilemma.
