When he returned to Beckland, he asked Fanny about her family...... As for the reason, it's very simple, before dealing with the enemy, you always have to figure out your own strength...... Russell should have said the famous saying "know yourself and know your enemy", right?

Abner pondered for a moment, then took out a "Courage" badge and handed it to Daniz, which was a "tip" for him to send a message.

After all, it's Adwina's subordinate, so he can't be too stingy, right?

The badge was actually an accessory to the extraordinary item he had previously sold in Byam, called "Irresistible Fear", to combat the item's negative effects.

Abner made a total of three at that time. But only two were sold, and the rest was kept at hand.

At that time, he was still in Sequence 6, and the items made from the power of the "Pure White Eye" were only valid for three months......

In other words, in less than a week, this badge will be invalid, and it will definitely not be sold, so it is suitable to use it as a "tip".

On the other hand, Daniz straightened his chest and politely refused: "I am already a brave person, and I don't need to use items to add 'courage'...... Not to mention that this is the captain's task...... It's better for the captain to give the reward......" he said in a whisper.

By "brave" do you mean being a servant to Klein and then hanging out of the cabin to scare off pirates?

After complaining in his heart, Abner smiled and said deliberately: "Since you don't like this badge, then I'll teach you a 'secret technique' to replace items...... Well, I don't know how your foundation is? What did Adevina teach you in her usual life? I've made a list of books, and if you haven't learned yet, I can give you a make-up lesson for free......"

Before he could finish his words, Daniz's face turned bitter, and then he grabbed the "Courage" badge and said in a loud voice: "I think this thing is very good, don't bother anymore......

"Besides, I have some business to attend to, and if you don't have anything to order, I'll take my leave."

He now finally knows why this little white-faced detective can be valued by the captain, such a style, such a hobby, such a tone, is simply ...... the captain What does Russell's famous quote come about? Well, "it's like the marks of a rolling wheel." From the same rut"?

Actually, I'm for your good, at least with this badge, you shouldn't be so scared by the "squirming hunger" that you almost pee your pants today...... After muttering a few words in his heart, Abner did not "embarras" Daniz any more, politely said goodbye to him, and watched him leave Mr. Gasstone's house as if he were "fleeing for his life".

After Daniz left the only school on the island, he was blown by the icy sea breeze, and some of the overlooked details from his previous conversation with Abner came to mind:

"I seemed to be led by the nose by him the whole time...... No, it's not a good analogy, I should say, he's in control of the rhythm of the conversation the whole time, and I don't think it's wrong at all?

"Besides, this detective seems to know me, otherwise he wouldn't have asked me what the captain was looking for him as soon as he came up...... Have we seen it somewhere? But I can't remember......

Or...... Did the captain show him my picture?

"The captain has my picture in his hand?"

Thinking of this, a smirk appeared on Daniz's face, but he quickly reacted again, sighed, and said to himself with some confusion:

"It's all my guess...... But the captain really had a picture of the detective in his hand, and he showed it to me, otherwise I wouldn't have known that he was Abner Bryan.

"No, I need to find someone to find out about this detective!"

Although rumors of "Hero Detective" are also circulating on the sea, Daniz, who has only been on vacation for the first time in more than half a year, has only heard some superficial stories and has not seriously understood them.

On the other side, after Daniz left, Abner picked up the metal box that the third mate of the Black Emperor had traded to Mr. Gaston and opened it.

Inside the box was a piece of parchment that was "burning" in the top corner, and it was "burning" very slowly due to the effects of the "Black Emperor's" ability to pass through the high sequence.

Ignoring the almost frozen flames, Abner carefully read the parchment:

"1. 'Vice-Admiral of the Deep' Hal Constantine was born in a small seafront town in the western Republic of Intis, and was the illegitimate son of a playboy of the Delion family. His father abandoned his mother after getting him by various means, so he didn't have a good childhood, and was even bullied by other people in the town.

"And when he was 18 years old, he stumbled upon a occult book called 'The Sleep of Segust', and instinctively read the strange text on it, established a connection with the sea monster 'Segust', became its dependent, and obtained its bloodline...... Since then, it has become a 'sea dependent'.

And as soon as he became an extraordinary, he sacrificed the entire town to please the sea monster.

"2. When Hal Constantine grew up, he decided to take revenge on his father, the Delion family, only to find out in despair that the 'Segust' he believed in was actually with the Delion family!

"From his birth, to his growth, to his acquisition of that occult book, and his dependency as a sea monster, it was all arranged by the Delion family......

"3. It's about the secret I discovered at the beginning...... That is the so-called 'Deep Sea Lieutenant General' Hal Konstantin, who has long lost himself and become a puppet of the sea monster...... And to control him, so that he is obviously very sober and angry, but still wholeheartedly serve the power of the sea monster, I didn't know at first...... But when the Count cleansed me of some of the 'pollution' from my body, he told me that it was the power of the 'Heartless God'. ”

Delion ...... Isn't this the family behind Intist's Owen? I remember that when I helped Fanny figure out a solution the other day, I also learned about this family, they were originally nobles of Sauron's rule of Intis, and later played an important role in the overthrow of the Gustav dynasty......

Like the Fules family behind Johansen, Delion is also a big family that is currently at the forefront of Intis, and it is very strong in terms of strength and political influence!

Their family may not have given birth to an angel yet, but there must be a demigod, most likely more than one.

Delion colluded with the sea monster in order to protect his family's maritime trade and fight competitors by the way.

And the "Segust" sea monster Ken signed an agreement with Delien, perhaps in order to accept the "sacrifice" in peace...... After all, judging from the information obtained from the elven temple on the fifth floor of the "Dream Labyrinth Tower", its state is actually not good, and it needs to regularly use the ritual of using living beings as "sacrifices" to maintain its sanity.

Finally, the "prophet" does not have the ability to control others to be their puppets...... Is this a secret technique it developed on its own, or is it a mutation brought about by swallowing the characteristics of other pathways? And what is the "god of lost hearts"?

This noun 1 has some familiarity, but I can't remember it...... It should be the knowledge that "Pure White Eyes" helped me block......

In a flash of thought, Abner had decided to go to Intis and try to make some trouble for the Delion family, and if possible, even let the family decline completely!

Yu Gong, they colluded with the sea monster, I don't know how many people they have taken for sacrifice over the years, this crime is no less than that of the royal family of Rune, and even more disgusting than George III.

For selfishness, if he wants to gain the "prophet" characteristics of the "Segust" sea monster, he must first weaken its allies to avoid accidents; In addition, it is difficult to say whether the death of Fanny's grandfather was not involved in the special envoy Owen, and if he also intervened, there would be one more reason to make trouble for the family himself.

……

Beckland, the basement of that house at 8 Williams Street.

Caterina finally found an opportunity to come here again, she glanced at the empty ground, and waited for a while.

After about ten minutes, she finally felt that the power she controlled began to "fade" slightly, so she immediately spoke in a soft female voice:

"I've identified a 'janitor' from the Spirit Order, ready to bring him in......

"But you're always going to have to tell me something about my control...... For example, what is the 'God of Lost Hearts'? ”

As her words fell1, the room fell silent for a while, and then Caterina's finger was punctured by something, and a stream of blood gushed out, forming a line of ancient Versak text on the floor:

"Are you sure you want to know? Even if you know that you will become a 'monster'? ”

Even if it's just words, Caterina sees the meaning of "mockery" in it, and is sure that the person she talks to is a "hunter".

But she was also frightened by the information revealed by the blood letter, after all, what "knowing is pollution" means, as an ageless witch who has lived for nearly two thousand years, she vaguely knows something.

Caterina thought for a moment and asked tentatively, "There's always something I can know, I can talk about that part first." ”

"As a 'witch's shame', it seems that you haven't spent more than a thousand years sleeping with men. I still know something. Again, the words change, but the irony remains the same.

Katerina's face remained unchanged, as if it was not herself who was being ridiculed.

"You've probably heard the saying, 'The body is the cage of the mind'...... The desires in your body are used to form a cage and imprison your heart, and you naturally become a puppet of the other party.

"Generally speaking, you can get out of trouble if you overcome your desires...... But the person controlling you should have used an item that contains the aura of the 'God of Lost Hearts', with some power of authority...... So, without the help of angel-level beings, you can't get rid of it no matter what!

"Only authority can oppose authority."

The blood characters changed continuously, and the above three paragraphs were written successively in three different fonts.

"'The body is the cage of the mind'...... This is the idea of the 'Rose School', but it is different from the Temperance and Indulgence schools...... It turns out that this can still be understood......

"So, who will be the 'God of Lost Hearts'?" Divine iniquity's Aea? 'The Bound God'? Or ...... 'Mother Tree of Desire'? Caterina muttered, as if to herself, as if asking.
