Chapter 871: Abner's Mistake
According to the custom before the meeting, Abner first stood up with the "world" and saluted, and sent Mr. "Fool" away, and then briefly informed Klein of the results of his "research" on Bianca, and finally said:
"Anyway, I found a secret ritual on her, but it's relatively incomplete, I'm afraid I have to gather the five survivors of that experiment eleven years ago to successfully decipher it."
Klein listened carefully and said thoughtfully, "Among those survivors, it is currently certain that they are Bianca, Abby, and the 'Pale Admiral' Maria...... Well, I wrote to Maria to confirm that she couldn't remember the specifics, but she admitted that she did participate in an experiment eleven years ago...... However, she was able to survive not because she was lucky, but because she was very special and was protected by her elders.
"Considering the direct relationship between the saber of the 'Pale Admiral' and Russell...... Your guess should be correct, there should be Russell behind that experiment......"
Abner thought for a moment and asked, "Did she say what was special about her?" ”
"Nope." Klein shook his head, "Although she is more friendly to me, she has no friendship in the end, and I can't get to the bottom of it. ”
That's right...... It seems that we still have to find an opportunity to "study" it for ourselves...... Abner muttered secretly, and then said, "Actually, the fourth survivor, that is, the Lady Lophia recorded in Abby's diary, who can restore the destroyed items, I also have a clue on my side, and she is now likely to be the Lady D of the 'Aurora Society', stationed in Corsica." ”
This information was inadvertently revealed by Jane in a letter to him.
"Corsica?" Crane repeated the name with a strange expression.
"As you can imagine, it is Huang Tao who has become famous. Hehe, it seems that although he calls himself 'Caesar', he wants to be Napoleon in his bones. Abner teased, then said solemnly, "As for the fifth survivor, I don't have any clue, so I would like to ask you about Arodes...... It doesn't respond to my arcane magic now. ”
"I just summoned it with a 'radio receiver' not long ago, and I'm afraid I'll have to board it for a while next time." Klein didn't refuse, but at present, the receiver has not been "pickled" to taste, and he has no choice.
"It's okay, it's not that urgent, and I can take advantage of this time to find a few other survivors first." Abner paused at this point and asked, "Is there any news from Abby of the 'Celestial Sect'?" ”
"No...... However, Maria speculated in the letter that she was mixed up with the Witch Sect, and that she was most likely on the Black Death. Klein replied calmly.
Black Death...... Maybe I should put Tracy back and let her be used as bait to fish people out? Abner unconsciously contemplated a series of intrigues in his heart.
At this time, seeing that the topic of experimental survivors was over, Klein also asked his own question: "Abner, do you know what Leonard is parasitic?" ”
Hearing this, Abner came back to his senses, remembering the private chat between "World" and "Moon" during the previous Tarot meeting, and replied with a smile: "You should have asked Arodes, right?" The guy who thinks he's the main character has an angel in his body as a 'thief'. ”
"You do know...... Klein let out a breath and continued, "Arodus told me that Leonard had an angel of the Zoroasd family parasitic in his body......
"In the Dark Second Age, all angels have divine names and serve as subordinates to the ancient gods, and none of them are simple!
"I don't know if Leonard will end up falling victim to the Angel's parasitism, so I asked 'Moon' to test the other party by purchasing the extraordinary items of the 'Thief' path.
"Judging from the feedback from 'Moon', Leonard is aware of the existence of the old man in his body, but he can't tell whether the other party understands the danger......
"Hehe, no wonder he used to think that he was the protagonist of the drama, the special one, and he was willing to help me hide the secret......"
After talking a lot in one breath, Klein turned the subject back to the topic and asked, "What do you think of that angel of the Zoroasd family?" ”
You've really taken great pains to get to Leonard...... Inside complained, Abner pretended to think for a few seconds and said, "Pales Zoroaster is not in very good shape, he parasitizes Leonard more to avoid Amun...... As far as I know, his personality is not bad, and his humanity is well maintained, and he should not really occupy Leonard's body, and after the 'parasitism' is over, he will take his life for a few years at most. ”
That's right...... Klein nodded thoughtfully, and then subconsciously asked, "Why do you have to take a few years of life?" ”
"For thieves, it's coming...... You're right1? Abner blinked.
It's all here...... Thieves don't go empty, do they? Klein was speechless for a long time, and said with a smile: "So Leonard is actually not in any danger?" ”
You can ask the other angels you are familiar with, most of whom know Paris...... After all, the circle of 1 angel is so big. Abner shrugged his shoulders, then changed his tone and said:
"But it cannot be said that there is absolutely no danger, 'believe in the power of the gods, but do not believe in their mercy,' this is true for the gods, and the same is true for the angels...... As you said, angels in the second age are called from God!
"Therefore, the best way is to find another backer for Leonard and deter Pales, so that he will not easily give up Leonard's life in a critical situation."
You're sure that Mr. "Fool" has a good temper and won't blame you, right? Klein was accustomed to Abner's calm tone when talking about the gods, after all, he himself was the same, not to look respectful on the surface, but in his heart he was more or less treated as an equal.
This may be a common problem of fellow villagers, and I believe that Russell is similar.
Of course, this must also have something to do with the fact that Liu Bo has so many goddesses behind him......
While thinking wildly, Klein also keenly received the meaning of Abner's words: "You mean to find an opportunity to drag Leonard into the Tarot Society?" ”
"That's right." Abner nodded, it would not be good if the "star" was lost because of the "butterfly".
And Parles can help Mr. "Fool" share a large part of the pressure from Amun.
"At least I have to wait for my demigod to further grasp the space above this gray mist, which is what you call the 'Source Fort', before I can try...... After all, it involves an angel, an angel in the category of 'weird'. When Klein said this, he suddenly asked, "The so-called 'Shadow World' is actually a type of 'essentia' you call it, right?" ”
On the day of their showdown, Abner briefly introduced Klein to Essentia, but did not go into details, so the latter now only knows that it was part of the original Creator.
As for "Shadow World", it was a term he had seen in Russell's diary at the last Tarot meeting.
"Knowing too much essentia won't do you any good right now." Abner was noncommittal about his question and digressed from the subject.
Klein stared at Abner for a moment, and finally said, "Okay." ”
After that, the two chatted about what they had seen and heard for the week, and then ended the meeting.
……
The capital of the Roth Islands, the "City of Generosity" Byam.
After returning to reality from above the gray mist, Abner said goodbye to Hugh and "teleported" to the "Aromatic Manor".
Next, he first changed his appearance and shrouded himself with the "secret barrier of Evans", and then quietly embedded himself in the Doge's Palace and the Wave Chapel, and placed a recorded "video" on the desk of Admiral Emilius and "Aquaman" Ione Courtman's home.
It is worth mentioning that the carrier of "images" is not the kind of "film" played by projectors, but the magical objects developed separately and made of spiritual materials, so as to dissociate themselves from the "film and television companies" that are in full swing.
Naturally, the video is a recovery technique developed for the sequelae of the "Celestial Sect" - of course, Abner was not stupid enough to go into battle with his true face, but used the "Professor's" vest again.
Among them, since Admiral Emilius relaxed with his mistress, Miss Cynthia, the infiltration went more smoothly;
But there was something wrong with "Aquaman......
Abner didn't expect that during work hours, "Aquaman" would "fish" at home.
It wasn't until he was blocked in the study by the other party that Abner realized that he had been "teleported" directly from Beckland, and that Byam and Beckland had a time difference of nearly three hours......
He subconsciously thought that it was time to go to work, and Byam was actually after dinner.
Fortunately, Abner hadn't put the item down, and "Aquaman" Courtman didn't notice his presence without a careful search...... But he didn't dare to move, so he could only wait in the study, praying that "Aquaman" would leave quickly.
When Cottman finally left his residence after more than half an hour, Abner breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly put down his belongings, and left without hesitation.
All the way back to the basement of the "Aromatic Manor", he finally relaxed and began to review his mistake just now:
Relying on "secret techniques", the plan is not cautious enough, which is not correct enough; Forget about jet lag, this is negligence, it is a problem with the attitude of dealing with things; It happened to be a matter of luck when "Aquaman" entered the office......
As a "reader", every action should be similar to that of a "magician", and you should plan before you act...... I made so many mistakes in a row this time...... Maybe it's not normal......
Could this be a change in fate caused by the "prophecy"?
This time I was able to be in danger, thanks to the fact that my secret technique is really powerful, even if the demigods don't search carefully, they can't see through it......
It seems that Lilith's admonition is very correct, in front of the demigods, before they can really control the "Wheel of Fortune", this mutated "prophecy" ability should be used as little as possible!
