Queens, Viscount Horatio's garden villa.

Emma, who had been at home since she attended Miss Audrey Hall's coming-of-age party, sat alone in front of the window and said as if to herself:

"Flora, what do you think is behind the Great Smog Incident?

"I don't think it's going to be as simple as a 'desperate witch' seeking promotion."

As a "decryption scholar", Emma is very interested in the inside story of this matter, if it weren't for the fact that the plague outside has not ended, and she was grounded by her parents because of her close relationship with Fanny, she would have wanted to go to the East End, to Prince Edsak's "Red Rose Manor" to find out.

"Isn't your mother a member of the 'Psychological Alchemy Society'? Wouldn't it be okay to ask her? Flora Jacob, the shrill voice of the demigod of the "thief" path rang in her ears, a slightly mocking tone.

"My mother is just an ordinary member of the 'Psychological Alchemy Society', and she can't access the ...... of such core secrets," said Emma, who combed her long black hair hanging down to her waist with her hands, and continued, "You don't have to go out of your way to try it, I said a long time ago that the contract that 'restricts' you was obtained by me from my own channels, and it has nothing to do with the 'Psychological Alchemy Society'. ”

"Who knows if what you say is true or false? Not very old, but more cunning than some old foxes! Flora said hatefully.

Emma raised her eyebrows, obviously dissatisfied with the "old fox" analogy, and replied jokingly: "How can we not be cunning in this way after going through the 'fraudster' stage?" You will step into the 'trap' so easily, also because you have been possessed by the rat for too long, and you don't have much wisdom left. ”

"Who would have thought that He could 'tamper with' even the knowledge that accompanies the sequence......" Flora was dumbfounded for a moment before she squeezed out such a sentence.

"Okay, back to the original topic...... I'd like to hear your thoughts on the Great Smog event. Emma took it when she saw it, and said instead.

Flora was silent for a while, as if she was thinking, before she replied thoughtfully, "What should the Rune royal family be planning, and even cooperating with the 'Witch Sect' and the 'Aurora Society' for this purpose.

"The previous big haze, the first layer showed that the 'Desperate Witch' was seeking promotion, but behind it was the plan for the revival of the 'Original Witch', and the attempt to descend from the 'True Creator'......"

Speaking of this, Flora sneered and continued, "However, this layer is only misleading. They were supposed to be a curtain to disguise the true purpose of the royal family. ”

"So, Prince Edsak and Duke Graar should have only been pushed out to take the blame...... Even the intis side colluded with Edsak to create chaos in Beckland was framed? Emma said thoughtfully.

Information about Intis and Edsak was overheard by her father.

"Intis may really have colluded with Edsak, and he was caught by the intelligence services, otherwise the three major churches would not be easily believed...... But that shouldn't have anything to do with the Great Smog event. ”

As a descendant of the Jacob family, Flora did not have a good impression of the Augustan family, and believed that the royal family was behind it from the beginning.

Is that so? No wonder my father forbade me to see Fanny again, and even correspondence was forbidden...... Emma pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Since Intis has been caught, and there is pressure from the church, I'm afraid I have to give an explanation, right?" ”

"Intis will not pay too much, what the three major churches want should be just an attitude, as long as there are people with sufficient status to come out and confess their sins, it is not a big problem......

"After all, the people of the church are not stupid, I can guess, they will not guess, but because there is no direct evidence, the royal family of Rune has conceded many interests, so they did not dig deeper."

Speaking of which, Flora seemed to realize what Emma really wanted to ask, and couldn't help but taunt, "Are you afraid that your friend's family will be pushed out to blame?"

"Tsk, come to think of it, her grandfather did fit the bill perfectly......"

"Flora, have you been a rat for a long time and have forgotten your way? You are a thief, not a provocateur. Emma was not provoked, for she knew that the Surrey family had a saint who was the archbishop of the Steam Church, and it was not so easy to handle.

Still, Fanny has to be reminded of this...... What if someone wants to use her to threaten Mr. Surrey......

Emma couldn't help but furrow her pretty eyebrows as she remembered the watchers she had noticed before following Fanny.

At this moment, her personal maid Wendy walked into the room, she hesitated for a moment, but still said softly, "Miss, there is something to report to you." ”

"What's the matter?" Emma asked strangely when she saw that her expression was rather unnatural.

"Yes...... It was Detective Bryan who returned to Beckland. The maid replied with some awkwardness.

Her own lady seems to have an unusual relationship with the detective, and even arranged for servants to pass by in front of the villa at 28 Kings Street every day more than a month ago......

As a personal maid, she wanted to persuade her own young lady, but when she thought of her "rebelliousness" in the past, she didn't know how to speak.

"It's better to like a detective than to be a young lady with all kinds of unbelievable behavior. The reputation is good......" Wendy, the maid, had to comfort herself.

Abner is back? Emma's eyes lit up, and she had an idea, and then she fell down on the table and began to write.

Although she was grounded, the servants were free to go out.

She had not asked the servants to send a letter to Fanny, firstly because she was afraid that they would be caught by the watchers and lose their lives, and secondly, because she was afraid of "startling the snakes". Prompt those people to do it right away.

But with Abner it's different...... He is very powerful, and his ability to "stealth" is also very good, and when he followed her and Fanny all the way into Baron Conwal's underground castle, they didn't notice it.

……

In the villa at 28 Kingster Street, Abner had just descended to the first floor when he saw Elaine sitting idly on the sofa in the small living room, with a magazine in her hand.

When she saw Abner, she immediately got up and said, "Mr. Bryan, how many days are we going to stay in Beckland?" ”

Speaking of which, she had just tried to help Mrs. Scudder tidy up the house, but when she was politely refused, she realized that her identity had changed, and she was no longer a maid, but a guest.

This made her a little uncomfortable and dazed, and she always felt that she should find something to do.

"I'm afraid it will take five or six days, or even a week." Abner replied after a moment's thought.

He wanted to use the few days to visit his friends and build a few more items...... Of course, it is more important to wait for the result of Mr. Gaston's sale of the transformation wand to the "King of the Five Seas" - leaving Beckland, it is not so convenient to "teleport" to Damir.

"That's been a long time......" Elaine was a little disappointed.

Abner saw the problem, thought for a while, and then smiled and pointed, "Weren't you a merchant before you were captured by Tracy?" ”

Haven't thought about examining the market?

Elaine was refreshed when she heard this, but then she became depressed and said, "I don't have many gold pounds in my hand......"

Although Abner did not pay her maid work, she also took out a loan from the "Sea Serpent" during the "Fragrant Leaf Bar" party, and made some money by buying low and high.

"I can invest." Abner rolled his eyes and asked, "What do you think is most popular with Intis in Beckland?" ”

"What's the most popular?" Elaine lowered her head and thought for a while, but said with a frown, "The most popular thing is actually the customs of a foreign country...... But you can't take it all away...... We can only select some special products, but we can't buy them on a large scale, and we can't make much money. ”

"Who said you can't take away the 'customs'?" Abner smiled, laid out a paper on the table in the living room, and wrote a line of text:

"Blaine Film and Television Company Planned Investment Project Book"

In the era when cameras were more common and even miniaturized, the camera had not yet been invented...... This is Russell's dereliction of duty!

And once there is a "video", the role of "secret master" is much easier.
