Chapter 569: Azik's Gift

Mr. Azik, I don't feel comfortable looking at me like that...... Karen was a little stunned, and subconsciously stood up straight, letting Celica, who was standing on his shoulder and facing him, tilt her body and almost fell down......

Fortunately, Silica is a necromancy, and "Ah Piao" is a natural ability, so there was no real accident.

Just when Karen wanted to say something, he heard the bronzed gentleman on the other side say in a slightly deep voice: "Your strength is still too low...... This worries Celica. ”

Saying this, he took out a bone flute about 20 centimeters long with seven holes on it from his bosom and continued:

"This is a token of a powerful spirit creature who recently chose to follow me...... Just blow it and you can summon Tajikistan into reality and help you fight...... Well, 'Tajik' is the real name of that spirit creature.

"Of course, since its allegiance is mine, not you, there is a price to be paid every time it is summoned.

"You hold it, so that Sirika doesn't worry about your danger in the future."

Cullen was silent for a while, then turned his head to look at Celica, who was chirping on his shoulder, and finally took the bone flute and said, "Thank you." ”

After taking the bone flute in his hand and studying it for a while, Cullen asked in a calm tone, "Your Excellency...... I mean, what exactly does it take to summon Your Excellency Tajikistan? ”

"Every time it strikes, it takes away 20 years of your life...... So, you better become a demigod as soon as possible, otherwise with your current lifespan, I'm afraid you'll die in a few days. Mr. Azik patted Cullen on the shoulder and said earnestly.

……

On the other hand, while Cullen and Mr. Azk were talking, Abner and the three of them tacitly exited the cave where the altar was located, and Judy took the time to fly out of the valley and take the plant lady who was shivering from the cold at the top of the cliff.

It's just that after she returned, her face was a little strange, and she peeked at Abner from time to time.

Abner can fully understand this, and anyone who finds that his doppelganger is full of other people will definitely do the same......

After waiting for a while, Cullen and Mr. Azik finally came out of the cave where the altar was located, and the latter nodded to the rest of the people, "If nothing else, I'll go back first......

"Wait, Mr. Azik...... I would like to invite you to my estate. At this time, Abner suddenly spoke, and said meaningfully: "I recently discovered a place that may be related to you......"

As for Azik's secret, Abner was a little vague, after all, in addition to Karen, there were also Judy and Arsenov, two people who were not familiar with Mr. Azik, and he was not sure if the other party wanted his affairs to be known by unrelated people.

Mr. Azk stared at him for a moment before nodding, "Okay." ”

Seeing that the expected "thigh" was likely to be able to be hugged, Abner breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Karen and Judy, and asked, "What about you, do you want to come to my manor too?" There are more than enough rooms there...... Well, Cullen knows. ”

Hearing his invitation, except for Miss Plant, the other three "desolates" all shook their heads, and finally Karen said, "Our mission has not been completed, and we still need to search this valley thoroughly......

"In addition, we, as 'desolates', enter Rune's colony without reporting, which will have a bad impact and cause some trouble."

The implication is that they entered the city illegally, and they could be arrested if they entered the city openly.

He and Judy can still enter in disguise, but Captain Arsenoff's height and size don't allow him to keep a low profile......

Abner understood this after a little thought, so he said goodbye to the "desolates" for a while, and then Mr. Azik grabbed him by the arm and walked towards the depths of various rich colors.

Although Mr. Azik did not recognize Abner's manor, he was able to find out where the creatures that were most tainted with Abner's scent were by the two of them in Elaine's bedroom.

Looking at the sleeping girl on the bed, Mr. Azik glanced at Abner with a smirk, and then quietly left the bedroom and entered the hallway.

Abner was a little embarrassed, and immediately entered the "psychological invisibility", thinking in his heart: Elaine is my personal maid, and in Byam, the person who contaminates my breath the most is indeed her...... What's more, when creating extraordinary items before, boiling water in the basement was half a day, and the spirit must also be entangled...... But if I explain it this way, will Mr. Azik believe it?

Fortunately, Mr. Azik had already heard of the reputation of the "heroic detective", and he was not surprised by this, and without further inquiry, he followed Abner into the study and took a sip of the latter's Filmer coffee for him.

Filmer coffee in the Pas Valley near the Plateau of the Stars is one of the best coffees in the world, along with Highland coffee and Fenerport's Highland coffee, and Abner naturally bought a lot of it back when he was in the Southern Continent.

Putting down the coffee cup, the whole study naturally entered a state of imperceptible "lockdown", and then Mr. Azik said, "Can you tell me what you found?" ”

Abner nodded, and said, "Actually, a friend of mine found a ruin with your portrait in it......"

Then, Abner told Mr. Azik about the cause and effect of the incident, except for the part involving the Tarot Society and Miss "Justice".

These include the fact that the peak of the mountain where the hot spring inn is located, which was destroyed by an inexplicable "natural disaster", and Ms. Cross Fia's invitation to "perform" next Thursday.

After listening carefully to Abner's account, Mr. Azik was silent for a long time with a solemn expression before he frowned and said:

"Your description feels familiar to me, but it doesn't remind me of anything more."

"It's a pity." Abner sighed in disappointment.

He also thought he could get some important information from the Azk boss.

Azk took a sip of coffee from his cup and said calmly:

"I always encounter similar things, and if it was very easy to recall the past, I think I would have found a way out of my fate."

"Of course, I'm grateful that you always remember things about me, although you have your own thoughts, your own secrets...... But I don't mind, after all, you are really helping me. ”

He thought for a moment, then stood up and said:

"I've had some things lately. I'll be looking for you in Indo Harbor next Wednesday...... Well, you're probably at the hot spring inn you talked about, right?

"When the time comes, I'll bring you a gift in return for telling me about it."

Hearing this, Abner hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Mr. Azik, you don't have to be like this...... You've helped me communicate with that badge before, and it's already counted as an advance payment......"

"Really?" Mr. Azik glanced at him and smiled, "What if my gift to you was 'Breath of Calderón'?" ”

The breath of the city of Calderón? Another main ingredient for crafting a bone dragon? This...... Abner's heart moved, and he quickly changed his attitude, and said cheekily: "Then thank you for the gift......"

"You're really not pretentious......" Azik laughed at this, thinking that the detective was indeed very close to him, only slightly worse than his student in Tingen.

"Alright, look forward to seeing each other next Wednesday." After saying that, the void around him rippled like water, and the figure disappeared into the room.

Abner stood still, and after a long time he said to himself, "Mr. Azik, why are you going so fast?" I'd also like to ask about the remnants of the 'God of Luck' that may be hidden under this manor......

"But he didn't mention anything just now...... This shows that even a strong man like Mr. Azik has not discovered the location of the 'God of Luck' ruins......

"Well, the Angel of 'Destiny' is the hardest to figure out, maybe it's really not time to turn on yet......"

While Abner was thinking, it was already dark, and Elaine, the "Red Maid", came to the study to find Abner, and watched him stop talking.

"Say whatever you want." Abner asked curiously.

"Sir...... You...... Did you go to my room last night? Elaine gritted her teeth and asked.

How do you know? You should have slept very deeply at the time...... Abner almost blurted out, but he controlled his surprise and said expressionlessly, "Why do you ask?" ”

"There are footprints in my room that occupy the dirt." Elaine said as she glanced at Abner's shoes.

Negligence, it seems that in the future, after using "psychological stealth", you have to pay attention to cleaning up the traces, otherwise even if you will ignore it because of the intervention at the "psychological" level at that time, you can still find clues afterwards.

Abner examined in his heart, but said solemnly on the surface: "There was a demigod powerhouse who came to visit last night, but because you were contaminated with my breath, you teleported to your room......

"Well, you just know about it yourself, don't tell anyone else."

He was telling the truth, there was indeed a demigod powerhouse who arrived last night, and it was indeed mistaken to Elaine's room because of the breath, but together, they succeeded in putting the matter of "entering the girl's boudoir at night" on Mr. Azk's head.

Elaine was really misled, she didn't think that Abner would joke about the demigods, so while being bluffed, she nodded solemnly and said, "I'll keep it a secret!" ”

After leaving Elaine, Abner had time to study the badge that had "communicated" with Mr. Azik, and went to the basement to prepare a candle made of Wofar beeswax.

Because Wofal beeswax is also a spiritual material, Abner has some in his warehouse, but this amount is not enough to consume every day.

"Looks like we're going to have to buy some back at this extraordinary party tonight......

But it's not a long-term solution...... It's best to borrow Bernadette's 'Pale Death' to smash it and recreate a magical item with less negative effects......

"But it's not something that can be achieved in the short term...... I don't have a friendship with Bernadette, but with my current level of 'craftsman', the negative effects of items created with the extraordinary properties of demigods may not be as good as they are now...... After all, this is 'alive' and negotiable.

"Gotta improve the sequence as soon as possible!"
