In the study, Elaine fiddled with the "occult camera" for a while under Abner's guidance, and after understanding its general function, she asked thoughtfully: "Then how to play the 'film' filmed?" ”

Abner was also prepared for this problem, and he "spread" the spirit to the "camera", changing the composition of several runes on it, and successfully allowing him to project the image he had taken earlier onto the wall of the study.

"The filming and screening involved extraordinary...... Wouldn't that be costly? How will it be popularized then? Elaine was amazed to see the projected "color" image, but she asked a new question.

After all, if too many extraordinary forces intervene, the church will not allow them to promote.

"This 'camera-projector' is just a 'prototype', and the extraordinary power involved in it can in fact be replaced by machinery...... Now it's just to make a sample to attract investment...... "Abner has already planned for the development of the formula, but he also affirmed Elaine's concerns, and instead said,

"However, 'camera' can still be disguised under the pretext of 'technical secrecy', and it is indeed not suitable for simple 'screening' to involve extraordinary...... Well, I'm going to go back and make a drawing and find an 'inventor' to make a 'hand-cranked projector'. ”

Elaine nodded when she heard this, and immediately felt full of energy, and assured Abner:

"I'm going to set up the company first, and then I'm going to complete the planned Beckland style series as soon as possible......"

At this point, she changed her words and asked, "However, how can the 'guide' Miss Hazel and the 'actor' Mr. Emlin be connected?" And what kind of pay will they be given? ”

"Häzel's father was a Macht MP and one of the potential investors in our company...... I'll pay for her, and when you need to shoot, just go to Harvest Church and find her, I've already told her ......."

As Abner spoke, he saw Elaine take out a pen and paper to record, so he slowed down his speech and continued,

"As for Emlyn, you talk to him at the price of a well-known theatrical actor in Beckland...... If you need legal support, you can find Miss Fanny, who lives in the villa...... She is an accomplished lawyer who is admitted to practice law in both Intis and Rune. ”

When Fanny was playing the role of "lawyer", she passed the preparatory examination very seriously, became a trainee solicitor, and conscientiously studied and worked with a barrister for a year before obtaining her solicitor license. That's it, or because she already holds Intis's lawyer's license, she made a special case...... Otherwise, without five years of experience, you will not be allowed to take the qualifying examination at all.

- In the Kingdom of Rune, lawyers are divided into barristers and solicitors, the latter is responsible for matters that do not require court appearances, such as gathering evidence, talking to clients, drafting wills, supervising the distribution of property, and providing legal advice, while the former is only responsible for defending in court...... In addition, if you want to become a barrister, you must attend the Beckland Bar School for a university education.

After entrusting the affairs of the "film and television company" to Elaine, a migrant worker who is eager to improve his own value through "struggle", Abner went downstairs and had a hasty breakfast.

At this time, Fanny, who had settled in Abner's house, came to him again and discussed with him how to rescue her grandfather.

Abner thought for a while, then shook his head and said:

"We know so little information now that we don't even know who the enemy really is...... Acting rashly will only put us in danger ourselves......"

"So, the immediate priority is to gather intelligence?" Fanny said thoughtfully, "Maybe I should go find the other military attachés in the embassy who were good friends with my grandfather?" ”

Abner glanced approvingly, this young lady was in excellent shape, but she was not without brains, and in the end, it was the "craftsman agent" lady who mingled in the circle of wild extraordinaries in Beckland, and once she got rid of the initial panic, she immediately regained the qualities of a "lawyer".

"Also send a telegram to Trier about the current state of your Surrey family...... The confidential secretary suddenly moved to detain Mr. Surrey for no reason. Abner paused at this point, and seeing Fanny nodding continuously, he added, "Also, be cautious in your contact with the military attaché of the embassy, and it is best to go with you while I am there...... If I really can't get out of my body and you have to go again, you can take that orange cat with you. ”

As he spoke, Abner stretched out his hand and pointed to Leon, the "lion" who was also dining in the restaurant.

Of course, in the eyes of outsiders, it is just a normal-sized orange cat, slightly fatter in time.

"Take it?" Fanny was surprised, but curiously didn't ask why, after all, Abner didn't seem to want to explain.

Leon the "Lion" rolled his eyes when he heard this, but he didn't refute it, after all, the "Prophet's" instinct told it that it was in the best interest of this kid who might have something to do with the "Calamity Seal".

But the matter of being summoned in vain cannot be counted in the same way...... Silently collect and record black materials first, and then calculate them together when the scene is met in the future......

Abner, who didn't know that the lion was holding back the bad things, briefly mentioned to Fanny about making her the company's legal counsel in the next few days, and the latter unsurprisingly agreed, and became interested in "camera".

After breakfast, Abner put on his coat, put on his glasses, and went out with his newly made "cracking" cane.

He was going to Hugh to get her the short white transparent robe she had ordered for the "Faceling" ability, and second, to find out the information from the Intis embassy through her.

Sitting in the carriage, Abner silently prayed a few words, and then successfully turned on the "Fool Navigation" service, and headed for a "safe house" in the North District.

……

West End, Intis Embassy.

After receiving the latest information, Special Envoy Owen was slightly surprised and said, "The elite team under the command of the Fulas family actually missed? Didn't even catch a Sequence 8?

"Heh, it seems that my judgment is correct, the Fulas family has really declined!"

After he put down the information in his hand with a look of disdain, Katarina, who was standing beside him, smiled, "But in this way, your plan has also deviated, isn't it?" ”

"It's a small thing, and it's actually more convincing that Surrey's granddaughter was able to escape on her own than if I let it go on purpose...... Aside from not having a romantic relationship with her, it's troublesome that only the death of that team will attract official attention......" As he spoke, Owen pondered for a while and said to Caterina beside him, "You go to the Factory District, go to St. George's District to do some extraordinary cases, and try to attract the attention of the 'Machine Hearts', so that they can't tell the experience to investigate Surrey's affairs." ”

"Yes." Caterina first subconsciously responded, and then said with a smile, "In the words of Russell the Great, you are 'trying to cover up the truth of the bad thing, but it turns out to make it more obvious'." ”

"I know, but I'm just going to stall a little bit so that my poor confidential secretary can be picked up by the family to get Intis back...... After all, if he is arrested by the Church of Steam in Rune, the biggest focus of subsequent conflict will be gone. Owen smiled indifferently.

"The 'audience' is really scary...... Still, how can you be sure that the Fullies family's reaction will play out according to your script? Caterina asked tentatively.

Owen affirmed, "They will...... In a sense, Johansen is the tool of Old John's 'resurrection', and the Fulies family will not easily abandon him unless it is absolutely necessary...... After all, it is also very difficult to find another descendant who is so similar to Old John.

"Oh, if it weren't for the fact that John Sr. was also sent to Rune as a diplomat during the Russell administration, so they wanted Johansen to be more 'like' to him, and to operate him under me, an 'ordinary person', I wouldn't have been so easy to 'manipulate' him and use him."

Hearing this explanation, the "White Saintess" Caterina nodded with satisfaction, and her body disappeared into the study in an instant, as if she had completed the task given to her by Owen.

But when she left the embassy and appeared in a house at 8 Williams Street, the corners of her mouth unconsciously curled, and she said to herself: "Sure enough, while he completely dominates me, he can't hide anything from me...... As long as I ask a question, he will answer it, and he can't tell lies. ”

But at this moment, a voice full of mockery sounded in her ears:

"What 'domination'? You're just under the influence of the 'Heartless God' and can't resist!

"I guess you must have seduced the other person, had sex with him, and was 'captured' by that thing when the desire was at its strongest......

"Tsk, when the ageless witch 'feeds', she is caught by the prey, and you are also considered a 'witch's shame'."

"Who is it?" Caterina was so shocked that she could barely maintain her demeanor, but when she looked around, she found nothing...... It was as if it was just her auditory hallucination.

No...... Probably not, when I first heard that...... I didn't have the idea of "reporting to Mr. Owen immediately...... He knew the nature of the seal, and could even shield its effects?

At this thought, Caterina could not continue to think, because the effect of the seal had taken effect again, making her unable to resist or ask for help......

However, just as she was about to leave the house, she suddenly saw a line of words on the ground1 in Gufsak: "Bring a 'janitor' here!" ”

……

North End, inside a house on Arka Street.

Abner slapped a gold-rimmed card on the ground, and then, with a flash of blue light, a tight, transparent white robe appeared in front of Hugh.

Hugh was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Abner with a somewhat sluggish look in his eyes, his eyes full of incredulity, as if he could not believe that the other party would make an extraordinary object of such appearance......
