"Heh, to be precise, he's just part of the promotion ceremony of that inspector named Russell to the 'devil'!" Leon sneered.

Hearing the lion say so sure, Abner asked with some surprise, "How did you tell?" ”

With a stronger ability to "go back", he only vaguely sensed that there was something wrong with Inspector Russell......

"What happened to that criminal is fifty or sixty percent similar to the story in a book written by Russell called "Les Miserables", and I don't believe it if the people behind the scenes didn't refer to it!

"As far as I know, the 'devils' of the North family like to complete rituals in a way that restores the extreme characters in literary works. So I'm eight or nine percent sure that this thing is a script written and acted by the guy named Russell......

"I don't believe you can investigate whether in recent decades, there has always been an inspector in Trier who is sticking to 'justice' and 'law', but seems to be impersonal, causing a talented person to die and embark on the road of revenge......

Les Misérables? I see...... Russell actually copied this world famous book! Abner was a little embarrassed, because he had only heard the name of this famous book in his previous life, and had not read it, and he did not know anything about its contents, so he ignored the "key" clue.

However, since it is the plot of Russelli, doesn't anyone in the official see it?

Abner thought so, and asked.

"Lion" Leon shook his head and replied, "Russell's book has not been published after it was written, and apart from me and Bernadette, I am afraid that only the 'devil' who got the manuscript knows about it." ”

At this time, Fanny, who had been listening to the conversation between one man and one lion, couldn't help but ask, "What are you talking about?" How is this case still related to the ritual of the 'devil'? ”

Furth, who was next to her, looked at Abner in the same way, expecting an answer. The inside story of this case is so complicated, it is even more exciting, and she is eager to "collect" the material.

Abner pondered for a moment, then asked with a smile:

"You should know that there is a legend of the 'Fountain of Youth' on the sea, right?"

Fanny and Firth both nodded and said, "I know a little bit, it is rumored that the Fountain of Immortality is in the depths of the Sunia Sea, and one of the four kings, the 'Immortal King' Agaritu, has drunk the spring water of the Fountain of Youth. ”

"Yes, the 'Immortal King' will even send people to hunt down adventurers who know the information of the 'Fountain of Youth'!" At this point, Abner saw that the two ladies were aroused, and then he changed his mind and said, "But it's a scam! A trap released by the 'Immortal King' to trap adventurers who are looking for the 'Fountain of Youth'!

"And the 'impartial police inspector' in this incident is, in a sense, the same nature as the 'Fountain of Youth'."

"This ...... Is this part of the 'demon' ritual of being promoted to a demigod? Foirth, who had listened to the little "sun" talk about the characteristics of the "demon" path in the tarot, asked thoughtfully.

"Lion" Leon "heh" at this time, said: "Actually, if Russell's plan had not been ruined by this kid...... According to his script, the criminal will not be caught here, but will successfully blame Fanny, and then calmly escape, and then kidnap or kill Russell's son and daughter, forcing him to choose between 'justice' and family affection, inducing him to stop sticking to his ideas, and even collapse his ideas, and gradually degenerate......

"But at the end of this 'game', the criminal whose humanity has not yet been completely extinguished will suddenly discover that the 'just' and 'righteous' inspector is actually the one who has fallen the deepest, the real demon!

"Everything is an illusion!

“…… Eventually, criminals who have experienced great joy and sorrow and realized that they have been pawns of the opposing party all along before they succeed will die in extreme shock, anger and unwillingness, and become part of the ritual.

"Then Russell will reclaim the characteristics of the criminals and then look for the next unlucky guy in his script."

After listening to its narration, both Furth and Fanny felt a chill in their hearts, especially Foreth, who, as a writer, subconsciously substituted the feelings of criminals.

Just thinking about it makes me feel sad and hopeless...... Firth sighed, feeling that he already had the villain for his next book.

This is actually "Joker" playing with "Batman", only to find out that Batman has long been a "laughing bat" in the end, right? Abner also summed it up in his heart.

Fanny bit her lip and frowned, "But his wife was killed...... If Leon's guess was correct, his son and daughter could also die...... Can you be so ruthless for the sake of promotion? ”

"Sequence 8 of the 'Demon' pathway is 'Cold-Blooded'...... He is not the same as a normal person! Abner sighed.

There was silence in the carriage for half a minute, and Forth looked at "Lion" Leon and changed the subject: "Since it has been written, why didn't Russell the Great publish Les Misérables?" ”

In other words, she would definitely find the editor to deliver the manuscript as soon as she finished writing.

"This is a question that Princess Bernadette also asked, and Russell's exact words were, 'The ass decides the head, and it is not appropriate for me, who is already an archon, to publish such a statement.'" "Leon was always knowledgeable about Russell.

It can even be said that if this case is not somewhat similar to the plot of "Les Miserables", it will not mention it.

The ass decides the head...... Neither Firth nor Fanny had a real understanding of politics, but they understood the meaning of this simple and understandable sentence.

Russell is really "realistic...... Abner sighed with emotion, and then looked out the window, his gaze seemed to penetrate the space, and landed on Trier, the destination of the trip.

"I wonder how this demon, who is behind the scenes and controls the fate of others, will respond to the unexpected?

"Also, as a member of North, will he have a relationship with the Delion family?"

Thinking of this, Abner fell into thought, and his eyes gradually deepened.

This kind of concentration is matched with the "beauty god" mark on the forehead, and the two ladies who are traveling with him almost can't take their eyes off it.

……

A small island in the south of the Rorsted Islands with only a few thousand people.

The Golden Dream approached a private harbor on the island, dropping off Klein and Daniz.

Daniz looked back at the glittering golden light of the ship, and suddenly lamented:

"I feel like my friendship has sunk into the ocean! Except for Talim, everyone else wants me to leave the Golden Dream forever! ”

In front of Mr. "Tower", you are all losers......

After answering in his heart, Klein pressed his hat and said flatly:

"It's possible to form an alliance between losers."

"......" Daniz didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

After a long time, he said, "Where are we going?" ”

"Find a hotel on this island first." Klein said this, but added in his heart: Then after the "Tarot Meeting", I will go to a desert island dozens of nautical miles to the south and dig out the "Lieutenant General of the Iceberg......

After receiving the oracle, the fishermen buried Tracy in the ground in order not to lose the objects offered to the gods.

……

Woo!

With the sound of the whistle, a long steam train clanged into Trier.

Abner asked "Cecia" to carry her suitcase, and she took Furth and Fanny to the land of "the city of flowers", "the city of romance", and "the mecca of art".

Because Russell forcibly moved heavy industry away from the capital region after becoming emperor, the city that first completed the industrial revolution was not always gloomy and dark in the sky like Beckland.

- Although this order was met with great resistance at the time, and was opposed by almost all business owners and the "Church of Steam", only the "Church of the Eternal Sun" supported it.

Fresh air, bright sunshine, comfortable temperature...... In terms of nature alone, Trier is much more comfortable than Beckland......

While Abner was thinking, an old man dressed as a butler greeted him.

He saluted Abner before he walked up to Fanny's side and identified himself.

Fanny pursed her lips, and after a few words with the old man, she turned to Abner and said reluctantly, "Abner...... My father sent someone to pick me up and take me back to the family estate...... So I can only say goodbye here; ”

"It's okay, you go home first, and when I settle down, I'll have an official visit." Abner replied with a smile after a polite gesture to the old man.

Dealing with Derion may have to rely on the power and connections of the Surrey family, so Abner has a plan for this.

Hearing this, Fanny's eyes bent, and she happily got into the carriage parked on the side of the road with the butler. Although he knew that Abner didn't mean anything else, he still looked forward to it a little.

When the carriage had departed, Forth turned his head and asked, "Where are we going now?" Go straight to First Bank? ”

Abner glanced at his pocket watch and saw that it was not yet ten o'clock in the morning, so after looking Furth up and down, he smiled and said, "There is no hurry to go to the bank......

"We're going to Trier's Shavinglia Avenue first to buy you a new outfit."

……

At twelve o'clock in Trier time and three o'clock in the afternoon of Beckland time, he changed into a new pale yellow lace-trimmed dress, and followed Abner to a high-class club inn to stay in Furth, who had just sealed the room with a "spiritual wall", and the crimson light in front of him was like water, drowning everything.

……

On the Future, Gadelia once again confessed her "last words", and then returned to the captain's room under Jane's speechless gaze, and immediately sealed the room with spirituality.

She sat on her bed and pondered the impact of Mr. Fool and the so-called tarot on her.

Unconsciously, a tall figure appeared in her mind, and the words that she could never forget echoed in her ears again:

"Leave, your fate is not mine."

Is this my fate, Your Majesty?

Gadelia closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, there was a tide of crimson light in her sight.
