Since there was no "teleportation altar" at Mr. Gaston's house, Abner first "teleported" back to the fragrant estate of Byam, and then relied on the "flying cloak" to fly along the route all the way to Damir Harbor.

During this period, because of many unexpected factors such as escaping the storm, deviating from the course, and getting rid of wild creatures, Abner arrived at Mr. Gaston's school on a Saturday afternoon.

Mr. Gaston remained as old-fashioned as a gentleman, but this appearance could no longer confuse Abner, who was quite familiar with him.

After all, what kind of serious person can a craftsman who can make a "magic wand of transformation"?

Taking a sip of Mr. Gasstone's Southwell coffee, Abner stopped his divergent thoughts, as if he were scolding himself......

Next, after a few words of greeting with the other party, he went straight to the point: "My 'transformation magic wand' was sold?" ”

Mr. Gaston nodded, "I have already negotiated the price with Litorio, and in addition to the secret information about the 'Deep Sea Admiral', he has promised to pay another 5,000 gold pounds. ”

Litorio is the third officer on the "Black Emperor", and is also the holder of the "Transformation Wand-Wind" created by Mr. Gaston, and has the nickname "Wind Witch" after transformation, with a bounty of 11,000 pounds.

He once inadvertently discovered the secret of the "Deep Sea Lieutenant General" Hal Constantine, sabotaged the other party's plan, and finally escaped the pirate general's pursuit.

Abner judged through the "prophecy" that the secret of the "Deep Admiral" was likely to be related to the sea monster with the characteristics of the "prophet", so he entrusted Mr. Gaston and Litorio to make a deal.

"According to the prior agreement, we will divide the difference between you and me, so this is your 1,000 pounds." As he spoke, Mr. Gaston took out a bag of gold coins and a small half-bag of precious stones, and handed them to Abner.

The payment methods of pirates are always diverse, and it is impossible to give cash completely...... Thinking so, Abner took the two bags, estimated them a little, and found that the total value of the gold coins and gems should have exceeded 1,000 gold pounds, and Mr. Gaston was quite kind.

"What about the intelligence of the 'Deep Sea Admiral'?" After putting the bag away, he asked again.

"Wait a minute......," said Mr. Gaston, standing up, and walking to the bookcase on the other side of the drawing-room, and removing a metal box from the topmost shelf, before carefully carrying it to the table in front of Abner, and introduced:

"My deal with Litorio was completed in the presence of the 'King of the Five Seas', and the Lord used his power to set the 'rules' for this box containing information, and once it is opened, you only have three minutes to read the contents, after which it will self-destruct."

Is this to prevent intermediaries from peeking at intelligence? The "King of the Five Seas" is quite disciplined, although I don't care......

While thinking so, Abner opened the "Pure White Eye" to observe the box, and found that the parchment inside had actually been "destroyed" long ago, but the "King of the Five Seas" Nast "magnified" the time needed for its destruction with clever arrangement.

And once the box is opened, that arrangement will be partially destroyed, which will inevitably greatly affect the effect of "magnification......

After roughly figuring out how it works, Abner felt that if this ability could be developed into a secret technique and used on important replacement parts of machinery, he could make a lot of money just by selling consumables......

After a few words of complaining, Abner was about to open the box, but the doorbell rang outside the door.

Mr. Gaston was a little surprised, after all, he did not have many visitors here, and even if he wanted to visit, he would make an appointment in advance, and rarely came to the door directly.

He nodded to Abner and walked straight to the door......

Soon, however, he returned to the living room, followed by a man in a black cloak.

The man was in his thirties, with burnt yellow eyebrows, dark blue but bright eyes, and not too deep outlines, as if the race of southern Intis and the Lemburg and Segar regions was the same "Blazing" Daniz that Abner had seen when he played "Erudito".

How could he be here...... No, according to the original book, he was indeed on vacation in Damir at this time...... Why did he come to Mr. Gaston?

Confused, Abner put the metal box back on the table and looked at Mr. Gaston.

"Looking for you." Mr. Gaston pointed to Daniz beside him.

Looking for me? Is there something wrong with Adevina? Gone wrong with her plan for that Grossell's Travels expedition? Why don't you contact me directly?

Abner had all kinds of questions in his heart, but he asked quietly, "Your captain asked you to come to me?" ”

On the other side, Daniz had never seen Abner's original appearance, and he didn't know that he was "Doctor Strange", so after looking at him carefully, he cursed secretly: It's a little white face again!

After that, he remembered the captain's words and asked in what he thought was polite, "Are you Detective Brian?" ”

"It's me." Abner nodded, repeating the previous question, "Adevina foresaw that I would be at Mr. Gaston's house, so she asked you to come here to find me?" ”

Call the captain by name directly and affectionately...... It is also known that the captain is able to "prophesy"...... What does this little white face have to do with the captain? Well...... Could it be that he is the captain's younger brother? That's why the captain asked me to be polite to him?

Daniz comforted himself with a few words of sourness before answering Abner's question:

"You guessed it, the captain foresaw you here, so he gave me this task before I went on leave.

"She asked me to tell you that she has received a clue from the descendants of the soldiers, and she will be waiting for you to join her in Tosk."

Soldier...... Adevina found a descendant of Ronzel? The captain of the "Glory of the Ten Thousand Cities"?

The "back door" that Russell or the "Seal of Calamity" added to Grossell's Travels was indeed done through Dragonzel......

But this "back door" needs to go to Tosk to be inspired?

Oh, Tosk, the port city from Intis to Rune, has recently had a high "appearance rate" with me......

The Archbishop of the Steam Church of the House of Surrey died in Tosk; Fanny's grandfather's traits were also taken there by a "thief......

Now the Russell or "Calamity Seal" arrangement also appears there......

It's unlikely to be a simple coincidence, right? Could it be some kind of aggregation effect?

In addition, there must be something special about the Surrey family, otherwise they would not have been involved in such a whirlpool of fate......

Even if there is likely to be someone behind the "arrangement".
