Chapter 544: The Lion's Old Man (Gaga)
Byam, Aromatic Estate.
Soon after Hugh left, Abner noticed that the team that was watching over the manor had also withdrawn.
At this time, he suddenly received a request from the "Teleportation Altar", so he hurriedly went down to the basement and used secret techniques to "pass" the request for "teleportation".
Immediately afterwards, the figure of the "Iceberg Lieutenant General" Adevina walked out of the circular "door" surrounded by flames.
Speaking of which, when Abner returned to Byam, he tried to contact Adwina, and through the "courier", he also wrote a letter to Jane to ascertain their safety.
It's a pity that the latter has not responded...... However, from the state of the "messenger", I can guess that she should be fine, but it is inconvenient to contact her for the time being.
Adevina had tried to use the "teleportation" technique to get here as early as last Sunday, but at that time the Aromatic Manor was still under surveillance, and Abner did not agree.
"Lieutenant General of the Iceberg" Edwina was dressed in a similar costume to Hugh's previous Tarot meeting, holding a silver mirror in her hand, and when she saw Abner, her light blue eyes showed a hint of a smile, and said, "I 'foresee' this time to request 'teleportation', and I can be allowed." β
Abner also responded with a smile: "I'm relieved to see that you're okay." β
"I fell straight into Lemberg from the mirror world, and I met the teacher...... "Edwina said this, paused, took out a bottle full of liquid from her pocket, handed it to Abner, "Well, I just happened to help you collect the 'Spring of Wisdom of Lemberg'." β
Abner's eyes lit up, and he took the bottle and asked, "How much?" β
Although the spring water is located in the University of Lemburg, not everyone can take it casually, and the price is not cheap, not to mention that you have to make a reservation.
Edvina shook her head, her eyes shining brightly, "The only thing I want to know is what you found in that hall...... Or rather, what secret is hidden behind it. β
Hiding a bunch of gods and the plans of the King of Angels, and even involving unknown beings that I can't think of right now...... I'm afraid that after I say it all, the two of us will be "cold" on the spot......
Abner complained in his heart, but after thinking about it on the surface, he focused on the "Ghost Empire" ticket...... In addition, about the role of Dennett's hall, he also vaguely mentioned it, guiding Adevina to associate it herself.
"So that's ......" "Lieutenant General Iceberg" Edwina nodded thoughtfully, and said to herself, "It turns out that it sails in the mirror world, no wonder no one has been able to discover it for nearly two thousand years......"
Speaking of this, she looked at Abner with some anticipation and asked, "Can you take me with you when you explore it in the future?" β
"It's okay......" Abner nodded first, and then bluntly admonished, "Discovering the 'Ghost Empire' is not a very good ritual plan......
Before he finished speaking, Edwina bowed her head slightly and said calmly:
"I understand that it is too much involved, and that there may be treasures in it that angels and even true gods covet...... It's too dangerous to spread the word about its discovery.
"However, I'm only interested in the history and secrets of the 'Ghost Empire' itself, and I don't want to rely on it to become a demigod."
"Then that's fine...... I'll let you know when we get back to June. Abner laughed.
"Actually, this time I went back to Lemburg, I made a new discovery...... Maybe you'll be invited to join me on an expedition in the next month or two. Edwina finished speaking, and looked at Abner with sparkling eyes.
She vaguely "had a hunch" that if the other party did not join, her expedition might be quite dangerous.
"What kind of expedition?" Abner asked cautiously and curiously, without responding immediately.
After all, this is an unfolding outside the original plot.
"I'm not sure yet...... Well, I'll tell you in detail after the New Year, and you can choose whether to join or not at that time. Adevina said after a moment's thought.
"Okay." Abner didn't have a problem with that, so he nodded.
Adevina seemed to remember something, and asked instead, "The lion...... I mean, didn't that 'Phinx Lion' come out with you later? β
"Not ......," Abner asked, shaking his head and bewildered, "what did you ask about it?" β
"It was my teacher, Lady Isabella, who asked me about the lion...... " Edwina recalled Isabella's slightly agitated expression at the time, still amazed.
Because since she knew the lady, the other party has always behaved elegantly and calmly, and has hardly shown such a gaffe look.
"Lyon...... Or 'three lights'? Abner looked strange, thought for a moment, and said, "I would like to ask who that Lady Isabella is...... What level of extraordinary beings? β
That lion had been sealed by Russell in the Daniel Valley of the Southern Continent more than a hundred years ago...... If you can recognize its existence, you can at least be a demigod.
Adevina knew what the other party wanted to ask, so she organized the language and said:
"Lady Isabella is the Sage of the 'Reader' pathway, the 'Prophet' of Sequence 4.
"I don't know who she is, but I guess it's related to the family of the Grand Duke of Lemberg......
She told me that the lion was actually something she had found and raised with Russell...... During Russell's reign, she also often visited Intis to visit it......
But all this changed when Russell became Caesar, and he seemed to be a different person, and he was no longer close to his former friends...... So is Karen, and so is she.
"After the fall of the Gustav dynasty, she went to find the lion...... It's a pity that I didn't find it. β
When Abner heard this, he smelled a hint of dog blood, and knew that the lady Isabella was looking for the lion, and that it was probably true that she was looking for Russell's whereabouts.
However, the emperor alienated his friends in his later years, and he may have been polluted and his temperament changed drastically, and perhaps there was also the meaning of protecting them from being implicated by himself.
β¦β¦
Southern Continent, in a village on the Star Plateau.
Jane let out a long breath after lulling a little girl, who was only four or five years old, to sleep.
The little girl's name was Venna, and she was the daughter of one of MariΔ's friends......
"He was also the only one of his friends and family who entrusted me with his care to be alive...... The rest of the people who helped him and Sharon were all the end of the whole family being sacrificed by blood...... the 'Rose School' really should be destroyed! β
If in the past Jane swore to destroy the "Rose School" in order to take revenge...... So now, I have more firmness in my decision.
At this time, a woman wearing the characteristic costume of the Southern Continent walked into the room and said to Jane with a smile:
"Who's coming?"
Jane's gaze crossed her and soon spotted a lion with brain cancer.
It walked with a still uncoordinated step, and said in a hoarse voice, "Little girl, can you help me find where that boy is?" β
