However, the fact that this question was raised in itself means that Russell is sure that there will be a fellow "reader" who will come to the lion for "material" someday in the future!

Is the "Emperor of Knowledge" so strong in his prophetic power?

With a hint of confusion, Abner gave the answer after a little hesitation:

"Italian cannon."

Here, he used Chinese, after all, whether it was Intis or Hermes, it was a little less meaningful.

The lion's face was visibly sluggish, and he muttered, "The answer is like this...... But what does the word 'Italian cannon' mean? What kind of weapon does it represent? ”

Hearing this, Abner was equally stunned and asked in surprise, "Don't you know the answer?" ”

"Why do I ask about the 'secret' I know?" Leon the Lion looked at it and said as a matter of course.

"It's not...... So how do you tell if the answer is true or false? What if someone is talking nonsense? Abner wondered if he would have been able to pass the test if he had just said "Gundam" in pass......

"This involves the talent of our 'Finx', which you can also understand as a kind of innate 'secret art', which can judge whether the answers given by others are correct through interaction with the spirit world......

"However, this only applies to 'hidden' knowledge in general...... There is no corresponding result in the spiritual world for this question to be posed to you, otherwise I would have trained a 'reader' to help me get out of trouble.

"Heh, that question was asked by that person, and he preset the answer in my 'Talent Zone'...... I couldn't see it before, until you said that word, and I didn't have the permission to 'browse'. ”

Speaking of this, the lion's furry face showed a slightly complicated expression, as if it had quite ambivalent feelings about the "bastard" and "that person" in its mouth, which was a feeling of both reverence and hatred.

Standard information flow operation and "order" constraints, Russell may have been trying to accommodate the uniqueness of the "Black Emperor" when he enclosed this lion here.

Thinking so, Abner set his eyes on Leon the lion again, and thought: It seems to be a true outpouring of feelings...... Of course, there may also be reasons why it has an extra brain and can't control the negative effects of emotions.

This lion may have been Russell's "pet" at the beginning, so he had both admiration and resentment for being abandoned.

However, Russell enclosed it here, in addition to being a "tool lion" who sent materials, it may also mean to protect it...... After all, the Emperor knew very well what he would face next.

If it had been with Russell, it might have died.

While Abner was thinking, the lion had already restrained his emotions and immediately released his posture of interacting with the spirit world, and Abner's spirit "returned" to reality.

That's when he discovered that the "Iceberg Lieutenant General" Edwina was confronting an uninvited guest with a long-handled black scythe.

The man was dressed in a hooded black robe, which concealed her appearance, and she could only be seen from the fact that her clothes were slightly wet from the rain and stuck to the good figure revealed on her body.

Abner, however, recognized the scythe at a glance and who its owner was.

After all, the former is the "cursed sickle" that he personally created for Jane not long ago; And the latter, her black robe was wet by the rain and it was not the first time she had seen it, and after a little recollection, it coincided with the figure that suddenly appeared in her study on a rainy day in Beckland.

That's right, this uninvited guest who suddenly appeared was Abner's classmate and friend, Jane Grant Miranda.

Abner was naturally very happy to see his friend, but he was wearing Doctor Strange's face at this moment, but it was not easy for him to reveal his identity directly with her...... After all, Adevina is okay to say. The lion, Leon, was not enough to deliver trust.

"'Lieutenant General Iceberg', I have no intention of making an enemy of you...... I just wanted to ask the 'Lions of Finx' a question. He said in a hoarse voice with a scythe in his hand.

"I'm not trying to stop you...... But you'll have to wait for him and the 'Finks Lion' affair to be over. Adevina spoke politely, but stood in front of Jane with the utmost determination, and pulled out a brass mirror the size of a palm—much smaller than the silver mirror she had used for prophecy.

Jane glanced at the brass mirror, sensing its danger, and then skipped Edvina to look at the man who was "staring" at the Phinx Lion, and she was about to say something, but her eyes suddenly froze.

Because a brass whistle suddenly appeared in the man's hand......

That's the bronze whistle she gave to Abner to summon the messenger!

Seeing this, Jane frowned at first, revealing a hint of danger, but soon, she seemed to have figured out something, and her face became bright again.

Then, Jane looked at Edwina carefully for a few moments before replying, "Okay, I'll wait a minute." ”

Adevina almost made the first move when Jane showed hostility before her, but she soon realized that the sense of danger was fleeting, as if it had never existed, and the attitude of the other party had changed dramatically.

Although she didn't figure out why the lady who suddenly arrived changed her attitude, since the other party accepted her suggestion, she was not willing to make enemies for no reason, so she took the bronze mirror back.

At this time, the lion muttered in a strange voice: "I'm afraid today is my lucky day, not to mention that I am about to get rid of that superfluous brain, and even the opportunity to completely get rid of the shackles of 'rules' has appeared." ”

"What are you talking about?" Abner, who had put the brass whistle back away, had just turned his attention back, so he couldn't hear what the lion was saying.

"It's nothing...... Leon the Lion shook his head and announced in a solemn tone, "Your answer is one of several alternative answers provided by that person, completing my 'secret' question...... Now, tell me what reward you need? ”

Speaking of which, it couldn't help but emphasize again: "Even if you want my brain, I can give it to you!" ”

At this time, if I really want something else, will you lose control and go crazy on the spot? Abner sneered a few words, but on the surface he said seriously:

"I want the full brain of the 'Finks Lion'."

"As you wish!" Leon the Lion smiled with relief on his furry face, then plucked a mane and threw it at his head.

Immediately after, a complete "orb" with several times more hooks than a human brain appeared in the lion's palm, but it did not immediately hand it over to Abner.

Seeing this, Abner's "pure white eye" suddenly opened, firstly to "identify" the authenticity of the brain, and secondly, to use the high position to put pressure on the lion not to make a wrong choice.

In fact, Abner and Edwina had not considered the possibility of the other party turning their faces immediately after getting rid of the restrictions of the "rules", and they also had corresponding plans, but there was no guarantee that they would be able to stay.

But Jane's arrival made Abner feel that the odds of winning were higher, after all, the lion didn't know that he would be beaten three to one.

However, this lion's methods are both strange and abundant, and it is better to be able to do it without doing it, so Abner stared at it with his open "pure white eyes" and said with a smile: "What, do you want to be greedy for rewards?" ”

The lion was a little hairy by Abner's eyes, and the spirit was also warning it, but it didn't actually want to break its promise, but just intended to tease the other party......

But this reaction is too scary! It's as terrible as the seal that the Emperor had in his hand at the beginning!

At the same time as this thought popped up in Leon's mind, a rather humane smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he said, "How can it? I'm not here to inspect the goods for you, lest you steal something incomplete. ”

After saying that, it simulated a gust of wind and carried the "brain" to Abner's body - without the burden of the extra brain, the success rate of its simulation ability immediately increased a lot.

Abner, on the other hand, was relieved after examining the brain, and he didn't want to fight an extraordinary creature with a variety of secret arts.

After packing his brain in the box he carried, Abner thought of what Leon had just said, and asked casually: "Steal?" ”

"That's right, this is another secret technique I've developed, a modified version of 'stealing' that is specifically designed to 'steal' the brain." Leon the Lion replied rather proudly.

"This ...... Could your secret art be a little weirder? Abner couldn't help but complain.

"Absolutely! That bastard...... Oh, the Russell the Great, who trapped me here, and told me many whimsical and strange stories. Speaking of this, the lion paused, and after glancing at Edwina and Jane not far away, he deliberately pulled out a "lewd" smile and said "in a whisper":

"I remember the Emperor telling the story of a young man who was a 'thief' in an island country who had the ability to steal women's underwear...... When I was bored, I developed a 'lingerie stealing technique' that had the same effect, do you want to learn it? I can teach you. ”

The lion seemed to be talking "quietly", but in fact the volume was not low at all, at least the two ladies on the other side heard it really.

They first felt a little surprised and stunned by the "Russell" mentioned by the lion, and then heard the obscene secret technique, and immediately said in unison:

"Don't learn!"

One of them is the "messenger" of the emperor's daughter, and the other is the descendant of the knights under the emperor's command, in fact, they all have some longing for the great man who changed the times.

But they never thought that Russell the Great would be so ...... Such an offensive idea was told to a lion......

At this moment, even if he was as calm as an "iceberg lieutenant general", he felt that the image of the emperor in his heart had completely collapsed.

Looking at the cunning look in the lion's eyes, Abner covered his forehead and said in his heart:

Emperor, I'm afraid your reputation is completely hopeless this time......

But it's not my fault, it's all your own making!

Although the lion is clearly blackmailing you, it is not fabricated out of thin air......

The island boy who stole his underwear is the protagonist of a certain anime from another world, right?
