Chapter 492: Tuesday
After thinking about it for a while, Abner decided to follow the original plan, that is, to follow the military team into the Paz Valley.
For one, in its current form, it may be difficult to find a guide other than the military or the "Rose School".
Second, if Hugh's team is really in danger, he can still help in time......
As for the danger, he is no less powerful than the pirate general, and with Edwina's help, he is not afraid of any opponent under the demigods.
Moreover, even if there is really a demigod who makes a move, he is backed by the "Tarot Society" and the "Labyrinth Tower of Destiny", and he is not without the means to resist for a while...... And as long as he is free from the sense of the demigod, he can surely escape or hide.
Of course, if you are unfortunate enough to encounter an angel-level existence, you can only pray that the "Mother Earth Goddess" or the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom" will really take care of you......
Abner didn't think about giving up for a while and coming back when the dust settled...... In this world, no matter what you do, it is dangerous, and it is impossible not to take risks if you want to obtain the main ingredient of Sequence 5. I gave up this time, will I give up next time I encounter a similar situation? And he had a hunch that if he missed this opportunity, he wanted to find the main material of the "Secret Master" again, and he was afraid that it would be delayed for a long time......
After making a decision, Abner looked at Hugh, who had just eaten enough, and told her about his experience in the "Dream Labyrinth Tower". Since they had both signed a "contract" with Mr. Gaston, they had never communicated above the Grey Mist, so it was the first time Hugh had heard of it.
After listening to this, Hugh took out the "Gold Solomon Coins" that Abner had given her for safekeeping from his personal pocket, and said thoughtfully: "Listening to your account, it seems that you have encountered several incidents related to the 'God of Luck'...... Even the manor given by the Bloodline is likely to have the remains of the 'God of Luck'......
"Could this 'Gold Solomon' be his legacy as well?"
Abner was stunned when he heard this, he really hadn't thought about it, he had always thought that this gold coin was the handiwork of Will's "little snake", after all, he had reminded himself......
But now that I think about it, could this gold coin also be made by some unlucky egg who picked up the "God of Luck" discharge trait?
I remember the original analysis report that it was from a Sequence 7 "Lucky One" whose extraordinary properties had eroded the gold coin of the Solomonic Empire...... And because the "lucky one" was killed by a punishment knight before his death, he was afraid of the power of "order", which was "sealed" with the blood of the "arbiter" through the extraordinary.
In retrospect, the effect of this gold coin is actually far beyond the scope of the "lucky one", and can even compete with the "lucky" accumulated by the "winner" in the hands of the "witch" Lina at the beginning......
What's even more worrying is that a mere Sequence 7 level extraordinary item is qualified for a "Mercury God" to appear and remind me not to use it outside of Beckland......
If this item is the arrangement of the "little snake", then it is understandable...... But if it's not, there's something wrong with its origin!
What is this? Do I have a bad relationship with the "god of luck"?
After thinking about it carefully, Abner decided that he should find an opportunity to take the gold coin in the gray mist and give it to Mr. "Fool" to die...... No, it's better to find out the origins, after all, Klein is an "expert" in this area.
However, it's been a while now, just handed over the "Doom Crystal" to his "dependents" to "investigate", and it's not appropriate to take out another one so quickly, or wait, anyway, my main task at the moment is to collect promotion materials and take the initiative to play the role of "Polymado", and other things can be put aside first.
Thinking so, Abner did not continue the topic, after all, to tell the truth is disrespectful to Mr. "Fool".
After he asked Hugh to put away the "Solomon Gold Coins", he turned to ask, "Just by chance, do you want me to take you through the sixth floor of the 'Dream Labyrinth Tower'?" ”
Hugh pondered seriously for a moment, and finally shook his head and said: "The sixth layer is the same as the real time, and it will take a lot of time, and I have to return to the team tomorrow night, I'm afraid it's too late." ”
Abner was not surprised by this, and just wanted to change the subject, Hugh smiled and said, "However, while you have time now, you can challenge the first three layers and exchange for a 'Escape Charm'." ”
"I also happen to 'brush' points out." Abner was kind to this proposal, and the two soon stepped into the "Dream Gate" together.
……
Beckland, Hilston, Cragg Club.
As soon as Klein, who had made his way to the place after helping Miss "Judgment" transfer the "Wind Favorer" trait to Mr. "The Hanged Man", he had just entered the hall when he saw the equestrian teacher Talim Dumont sitting in a secluded place, not knowing what he was thinking.
Thinking of the believer he developed with "food", and the 'witch' that the believer followed, Klein leaned over and said hello with a smile:
"Good afternoon, Talim, you seem to have another problem?"
Talim woke up suddenly, and quickly shook his head and said:
"No, no."
What do you seem to have done? Crane muttered and sat down.
Talim seemed to remember something at this time, looked around and said:
"Sherlock, a big man is interested in you after hearing me mention your deeds, and wants to meet you, would you like to?
"Frankly, this is something I envy, it's a very rare opportunity."
Wait, what can I do? In addition to intercepting Laneus, killing the Rose School Extraordinary, blowing up Capin's house, and taking up the Aurora Society's stronghold, all you may know is to help Mrs. Mary catch the adulterer, accompany Mike to the brothel with the reporter, and go to the East End to investigate the lives of the poor...... Well, at best, I knew that I had contributed to the serial murders and helped Dr. Allen solve the nightmare problem by providing consultations......
And, the big shots? Referring to Prince Edsak, right? His problem couldn't even be solved by Lina's somewhat mysterious witch, and he even rushed to the doctor to pray to the head of an evil god of unknown origin like the "Fool......
Wait, it's not good to say that you are like this, it should be a mysterious and strange powerhouse like "Fool".
Klein sneered a few words, and said thoughtfully:
"Tallim, I'm sorry, as a detective, I have my own rule, which is to try not to mix things involving big people, maybe just a small sneeze friction on the upper stage is likely to bring me unbearable disaster.
"I'm not going to label myself, so I'm not going to meet the big guy."
This is actually a precaution that Klein thought before he became a detective.
Once he is involved in the upper class, it is easy to be investigated, before he becomes a "faceling", he doesn't want to take such a risk, not to mention that Prince Edsak is very likely to be the "sincerity" of the royal family to cooperate with the mysterious organization, such a person, how dare he contact it?
“…… You're sane. Talim groaned, "The big man expected this reaction and thought that such a detective was more trustworthy, so he wanted you to take a commission that would not involve high society." ”
"What commission?" Klein asked.
Talim laughed:
"It's the Gapin incident that you and Mike discussed last time, and the big man is very interested in the organization that uses tarot cards as symbols, and he said that there is more than one similar case, and he wants you to find the corresponding clues."
What? Is this for me to check myself? Is Prince Edsak okay to do? Is this "arranged"? Who was "instigated"? Or does he really find it interesting to organize with tarot cards as symbols?
With a question mark in his head, Klein was about to refuse, but Talim added with a smile:
"Sherlock, you don't need to take risks, that big man means to pay more attention to collect more information or rumors, here is 10 pounds in cash, it is the fund he gave you for the activity, even if you don't get any valuable news, he will not let you return, and once you get useful clues, he will pay them one by one, and reimburse you for the whole process."
Reimbursement? It's been a long time since I've heard anyone promise me anything like this...... But the prince doesn't seem to be as generous as Miss Hazel......
Klein first sneered, and then thought again:
But the other party has said to this extent, and it would be too suspicious for a private detective to refuse...... And it is obvious that this kind of thing should be in your own hands......
He hesitated for a few seconds, but did not reply immediately, but made an excuse to go to the bathroom, and then walked four steps backwards to the ancient hall above the gray mist, and then sat down in the seat belonging to the "fool" and analyzed it seriously:
The "arrangement" is possible, and the thief "Black Emperor" attacked Ince Zangwill with "bad luck", and he is likely to have detected it through "0-08...... And from the fact that there were almost no traces of the blunt "arrangement" in the second half of last night's incident, it can be seen that the effect of "bad luck" should have been very successful, and Ince may have suffered a big loss...... It was only natural for him to want to find the murderer who plotted against him.
And "instigation" also makes sense, after all, it can be seen from the conversation between Lina and Talim that night that the witch sect placed the witch next to the prince is actually reluctant, maybe she wants to use the tarot card as a symbol to fight with the royal family and several mysterious organizations in this way, and she will fish in troubled waters to escape...... It's a pity that she miscalculated one point, that is, I didn't have the courage to fight head-on, if it was really her calculation, it was doomed to fail.
As for the interest...... Well, this possibility is not ruled out, after all, I don't know what kind of person Prince Edsak really is...... Well, when Lina sets up a venue that can shield the exploration tonight, she can talk to her as the "Black Emperor" of the Grand Thief.
Thinking of this, Klein used the pendulum to divinate again, and got the result of "no danger", and then returned to reality, returned to the hall, and politely accepted the 10 1 pound bills handed by Talim, and planned to "cheat" the reimbursement with a plausible message every week.
……
Byam, Aromatic Estate.
In the evening, Abner, who had taken Hugh's "liver" for an afternoon, sent Hugh back to Gulain City after having dinner with the other party, after all, although his manor was large, it was not suitable for entertaining Hugh, who was supposed to be in the Southern Continent, which might expose the existence of "teleportation".
Abner himself wasted another spell and returned to Byam, and called Elaine, who had been resting for nearly two days, to the underground workshop to "boil water".
He plans to turn the "Interrogator" trait that Klein sent as a reward for consulting into a magical item, which will be one of the finale items for the reopening of the Extraordinaire party at the "Fragrant Leaf Bar" tomorrow night.
