Chapter 499: Doctor Strange's Punishment
Hugh went out early in the morning to buy a breakfast at a nearby restaurant, and she seemed to be in a good mood, humming all the way back to the rented hotel.
But as soon as she returned to the room, she felt that something was wrong, although this was not her "jurisdiction", but with the "insight" ability of the "arbitrator" approach at an extraordinary level, she still found a trace of incongruity.
Hugh asked tentatively, "Who's there?" ”
As soon as she finished speaking, she was relieved to see Abner emerge from the shadows.
After casually closing the door and sealing the room with his spirit, Hugh glanced at the other party to express his frustration at scaring him, and then asked, "How do you know I live here?" ”
"You have to believe in the profession of a 'detective', just one night, some traces are not so quickly gone." Abner paused when he said this, and then sighed with a smile, "Sure enough, simple 'stealth' and 'hidden shadow' can't completely hide the inquisition' at close range. ”
"I'm already a 'judge.'" Hugh straightened his chest at first, corrected proudly, and then said while recalling, "Actually, I didn't find any trace of you, but I stayed here for one night, and I became somewhat familiar with it, and it is not difficult to find some inconsistencies. ”
Abner nodded thoughtfully, there was not much surprise at Hugh's act of taking potions last night, after all, her mission was very dangerous, and if she could improve her strength, she should try to improve as much as possible.
Hugh saw that Abner was also carrying breakfast in his hand, so he took it and put it on the table with the one he bought, and then she picked up a piece of lamb chops covered with chili sauce and asked as she chewed, "Why didn't you just use 'psychological invisibility'?" ”
"I've confirmed that the effect of 'psychological invisibility' can be concealed even by the demigods of the 'arbiter' path...... However, it is precisely because the 'arbiter's induction is flawed in this regard that I suspect that the military must have a special means to target the 'psychological' level......
"It's the areas they are good at that are more likely to be negligent."
As he spoke, Abner also picked up a piece of East Bailang's characteristic pasta and took a bite. He didn't touch the meat, first, Hugh liked it more, and second, he wasn't used to eating too greasy in the morning.
And the demigod who can hide the way of the "arbiter" in his words is naturally referring to Admiral Emilius Levitt, who appeared in the fifth layer of the "Dream Labyrinth".
At least if the other party is not very serious, and he himself is completely still.
"That's right...... Then you probably can't get too close...... Although there are no demigods in the escort team I am in, I can't be sure if there are strong people following me in the dark......
"Besides, I always feel that Her Highness Vera is not easy either, and you can't despise her just because she only has Sequence 5."
Hugh thought about it, put down the lamb chops in his hand, and said seriously.
"Royal princess, it's not strange to have powerful magical items on you......" Abner signaled Hugh to understand and not be careless, then took out a beautiful silver card from his pocket, handed it to her, and said with a smile: "So I came to you to give this card to you...... With it, I will be able to locate you from hundreds of kilometers away with the help of the 'Dream Labyrinth' and the 'Brian Reverse Advent Technique' that I developed. ”
"Doctor Strange......" Hugh glanced at the pattern printed on the card, and immediately recognized who it was, and suddenly said, "It turns out that the strange things that have happened in the last two days in Gulain City are really behind you......"
"There are also those who fish in troubled waters and cheat money and sex in my name...... I sanctioned those people last night. Abner's voice cooled as he said this.
He was very speechless when he first knew that there were also people pretending to be him in the Southern Continent, partly just to pretend to be handsome, he didn't mind, anyway, the night watcher or the punisher would definitely "talk" with them later.
But those who pretend to be cheating in the name of answering questions can't tolerate it, after all, this will ruin the reputation of "Doctor Strange", and it also crosses the bottom line of Abner's tolerance, so when he pulled people into the "dream realm" last night, he deliberately "invited" those liars to the front of him, and directly "instilled" excessive "knowledge" into them.
"Doctor Strange" helps others use "knowledge", and punishment is naturally the same.
Now those people are either crazy or have become fools.
Hugh did not have the slightest sympathy for the liars, but applauded, only amazed at Abner's ability to play the "Dream Labyrinth Tower" with "flowers".
It was not only the authority of the "Dream Labyrinth Tower", but also the principle of the "red stars" on the gray mist, the personal blessing of the "pure white eye", the connivance and acquiescence of the god of knowledge, and a little bit of my own wisdom, which made it seem that the methods of "Doctor Strange" were mysterious and even close to gods.
Just as Abner was feeling proud, Hugh picked up the newspaper he bought, looked at the headlines of the day, and said with some surprise:
"Lieutenant Colonel Hall defeats the Intis Colonial Army......
"Miss Audrey's surname is 'Hall', is this lieutenant a member of the Earl of East Chester?"
This was Alfred's best moment, and when he returned to the North Continent, he would not be able to beat his sister's dog...... While thinking about it in his heart, Abner replied casually: "This lieutenant colonel is Miss Audrey's second brother, and he is also an extraordinary person in the 'arbiter' path, and he may be the 'interrogator' at present. ”
Although Alfred was already a "Knight of Punishment" when he returned to the North Continent in the original book, that was more than a year later, and it is obviously impossible to reach that height now.
"Are you familiar with Miss Audrey's family......" Hugh glanced at Abner, picked up the chili sauce lamb chops again, tore off a piece of meat with his teeth, and chewed it.
……
In a barracks on the edge of the Pas Valley, a man in a crisp military uniform was writing a report at his desk, his golden hair slanted back, his blue eyes like a lake under a clear sky, his slender and well-proportioned figure, and his every move had an indescribable sense of majesty, even if there were no soldiers around, it also intuitively showed the meaning of authority.
At this moment, a man of twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with black hair and brown eyes, dressed in dark clothes, walked in from outside the tent, holding a newspaper in one hand, and exclaimed: "Alfred, you are famous! ”
Alfred shook his head when he heard this, and said regretfully: "I'm afraid we will be leaving the special operations team soon." ”
"Why?" The man who walked into the tent asked curiously.
"Because if I were still in this unit, it would lose its concealment, and it would no longer be able to be ignored by the enemy, and many unexpected tactics would not be implemented...... As a special operations force, being famous means defeat in itself. Alfred put down his pen and sighed.
"Is this your lesson learned?" The black-haired, brown-eyed man glanced at the resignation application on the table and asked again.
"It's not...... This is the advice written to the military department by a knight named Gawain, who has a deeper understanding of special operations than a front-line commander like me, and deserves to be an experienced knight. Hehe, one of his apprentices is said to have a lot of great ideas, many of which are very useful in real combat. Alfred paid tribute to the knight named "Gawain".
"There is such a thing...... It seems that the knights of the old era are not all eliminated, and some of their military ideas still have merit. The black-haired, brown-eyed man sighed a few times and asked curiously, "Then why didn't he recruit that apprentice of his into the army?" ”
"I heard that the apprentice died in a battle to protect his hometown...... The enemy is some mysterious organization. Alfred also said with some regret, "Otherwise, I will definitely use my connections to recruit him to my command and cultivate him." ”
"It's a shame indeed." After the brown-eyed man sighed, he stopped continuing the topic and said, "Alfred, in fact, I came to you this time, and there is another good thing. ”
"Don't sell it, Pugni." Alfred glanced at his friend.
The man named Pagani took out an iron box from his pocket and said with a smile: "Your luck is really good, you have just made a meritorious service, and the 'Golden Wings of Gondora' you need has also appeared at the right time."
"Hehe, I bought this from a naval officer on the newly arrived battleship 'Covenant' in Gulain, and it cost 3,500 pounds before that person would sell it to me."
Alfred saw the shiny wings in the box, and his eyes were also reflected with gold, he suppressed his excitement and said calmly: "Don't worry, I won't let you suffer!" I'll pay 4,000 pounds and give you 500 pounds for the middle fee. ”
"The deal will be paid directly to my account at Beckland Bank." Pagani handed the box to his friend and smiled, "I trust the reputation of the Hall family. ”
"The Hall family will never let you down." Alfred took it and said solemnly.
"Don't be so serious, we're friends." Pagani waved his hand first, then remembered something, hesitated and said:
"By the way, I got a piece of news about the demigod-level dragon skeleton you asked me about last time, but I don't know if it's true or not.
"Well, to be precise, a caravan belonging to my family heard a rumor in the county of Fursack and Winter......"
