Chapter 5: Curiosity Kills ......

Looking at Hugh, who showed complex emotions, Abner remembered the "Rune-style" subtlety in the original book, and did not answer positively, but only laughed:

"Don't be envious, you'll soon catch up with me."

- Just a few days ago, Hugh's "ritual" application report was finally approved by the military hierarchy, and one of the Berote mountain ape's nests was opened to her, and she relied on the chaotic rules of the mountain ape's lair to successfully resist the "self-punishment" impulse after taking the potion, and became the "punishment knight" of Sequence 5.

Abner is really a demigod...... Hugh suddenly remembered the agreement with Abner about the "demigods" when they traveled together, and at that time she still felt that the existence of the "demigods" was very far away from her, and could never be reached......

But how long has it been? In just ten months, Abner had already opened the doors of the Holy One and gained divinity...... And I'm already a Sequence 5 extraordinary......

Maybe in a few years, I will be able to truly understand the truth about my father's wrongdoing!

As for what happened to her father, although Hugh used the convenience of the official members of MI9 to secretly investigate some skins and some speculations, her intuition was still far from the truth, after all, it was obviously not so simple to make both Abner and Vera choose to keep their mouths shut.

"I don't have the confidence to keep up with you...... After all, even His Highness is a demigod that he has collected, and it is unlikely that I will be able to exchange the materials from MI9, even if I have made a great contribution......" Hugh laughed at himself, then adjusted his mood and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Abner...... Also, since you've made it, isn't it time to celebrate? ”

"Naturally, I have to treat you, and I'm ready for that...... After all, there are a lot of people who have helped me in my ceremony......"

It's just that the scorers are divided into batches, and if they all come together, I have a hunch that something bad will happen.

After muttering something in his heart, Abner changed the topic and said meaningfully: "Actually, the materials for your promotion to demigod are not unfounded. ”

Hugh Wenyan was stunned for a moment, then realized something, and asked rhetorically, "You mean the 'Ghost Empire'?" ”

"That's right, it's been less than two months since the 'Ghost Empire' next 'entry into the port', so hurry up and digest the current 'Punishment Knight', maybe you will have the opportunity to be promoted to a demigod at that time." Abner smiled and nodded.

"No one knows what is hidden in the 'Ghost Empire'......" Hugh shook his head, not fantasizing about uncertain things, "What's more, the ritual of the 'Law Mage' is not so easy to complete. ”

Although I don't know what treasures are in the depths of the "Ghost Empire", "Giuseppe Castile" died there, he ...... Well, it's 'me' 'Decree Mage' trait that must still be there......

Abner answered in his heart, ostensibly recalling the 'Inquisitor Card' he had seen, and said thoughtfully: "The promotion ceremony of the 'Law Mage' requires that laws and rules be made in a town of at least 10,000 people, and everyone should recognize and obey them from the bottom of their hearts, right?" ”

"Yes...... Without official cooperation, this ceremony will be difficult to complete......" Hugh sighed.

"Actually, it's not that hard...... You know, I'm about to be named Viscount Berdan, and there are a lot of towns in that city, so it shouldn't be difficult to design. "Besides, if you don't want to attract the attention of the authorities, I actually have a hereditary baron title in Segall, and I also have a territory...... It's just that the population may not be enough for 10,000. ”

Segall's barony comes from the original "Apostle of Light" Baru, and his main legacy to Abner is this title that he paid for.

Of course, if necessary, Abner can also use the identity of "Giuseppe Casstilla" to return to Fenerport to succeed the Count of Seville...... It's just that it's more troublesome, even if he now has all the memories of Giuseppe, he needs to play some tricks, after all, according to Cross Fia, the current earl title has long been inherited by Giuseppe's younger brother.

"Let's wait until we really get the demigod trait." Hugh waved his hand, apparently not paying much attention, but Abner's preoccupation with the matter still made the corners of her mouth unconsciously curl.

After the two chatted a few more words, a staff member came over and knocked on the door to inform them that the banquet was about to begin.

Speaking of which, the impact of the film "Looking for the Laurel" on the audience is very big, because unlike the previous "Russell Gustaf", although that film is well-made, it actually has its own advantages from the same type of drama and opera, but it is more realistic.

But this film is completely different, it is the first adventure film of this era!

For those who have never seen the vastness of the world and the ferocity of the sea, the visual stimulation is unparalleled!

In the end, Abner used "knowledge" to calculate the escape speed and angle, and successfully brought the "Laurel" out of the "maelstrom", which has become an eternal classic and unforgettable.

After all, the news that Abner Bryan successfully relied on the treasure to obtain a knighthood made everyone think that what was told in the film was true.

Of course, only Abner and Cross Fia, who was in charge of the footage, knew that although there was no problem with the formula used to calculate it, the "Laurel" was actually twisted by Abner using the "mutated Tudor badge" and then dragged out by the "lazy" lady who turned into a dragon......

And the bottom of that maelstrom is not simple, there is actually an undersea castle!

The legend of the underwater city has been passed down on the sea for thousands of years, but Abner, who found it himself, knows that it is not sealed with the so-called "powerful monsters" as the story says...... What it seals is actually the entrance to the "Sea of Chaos"! It's the same as the castle in the core area of the Delaret Forest that seals the entrance to the Sea of Chaos.

This is also the reason why many extraordinary people have tried to predict the whereabouts of the "Laurel" for more than 100 years, but have been unsuccessful...... I just don't know how Russell found it.

In short, just looking at the excitement and frenzy of the audience after the premiere, you can also know that "Looking for the Laurel" has been an unprecedented success,

Naturally, the banquet was full of praise and congratulations, and the invited entrepreneurs and celebrities were close to Abner, looking forward to cooperating with this rune upstart.

In the midst of this, Abner is also constantly using his ability to "observe" the "river of fate" after a period of time with the people present, although the results of this unprepared and simple observation will not be too accurate, but it still allows him to distinguish who can continue to cooperate and who should gradually distance himself.

For example, a wealthy businessman who was talking to him, because of his adventurous nature, fate is destined to have a financial crisis in the near future, and different "tributaries" are just a matter of losing more and losing less......

Therefore, Abner only vaguely mentioned the risks of some projects, allowing him to step into a "tributary of fate" with less losses, and did not say anything more.

He didn't do it just to play or show kindness......

Rather, it was to make up for the fate of the housekeeper who followed the wealthy merchant's wife.

The lady named Tanea rose from the lowest maid to the chief maid, and then followed the current lady of a wealthy merchant to a wealthy merchant and became a housekeeper......

According to the development of the original book, she will be introduced to Klein by Walter after the rich merchant goes bankrupt and fires her, and becomes Dawn's housekeeper.

But thanks to Abner's crossing, the situation has long since changed, and the development of this lady's fate has long been missed by Klein...... In Abner's observations, there was a "tributary" with great probabilities that was rather bleak, so he made up for it by guiding the wealthy merchants.

After becoming a "prophet", Abner still adheres to his code of conduct: if you don't meet it, forget it, and since you have encountered it, and have the ability to change, you will lend a hand.

……

The second largest city on the island of Sunia, Port Jacob.

When Klein walked out of the theater, he was a little unfinished and sad.

is still unsatisfied, naturally the content of the film makes him, a modern person who has read countless films, addicted, because there are many exciting scenes in it that are very real, not like special effects at all......

Of course, in this world of extraordinary power, Klein guessed that it might not really be a special effect.

The sad thing is that 3 million pounds of property was actually donated by Mr. "Tower...... Just changed to a "viscount" title that did not have much real interest.

Although he also knew that Mr. "Tower" was going to use this matter as a "ceremony", he couldn't make a fortune quietly, and it was actually quite the right choice to directly use it as a donation.

After all, with such a large amount of property in hand, I don't know how many people and forces will make up their minds, even if Mr. "Tower" is not afraid, it will be very troublesome.

Not to mention that the issue of the ownership of this property is actually difficult to define, the original owner of the "Laurel", Rune Sea Trade Company still exists!

There is no international law statute that provides that property salvaged on the high seas belongs to the finder...... It's just that everyone acquiesces, and if you really want to be more serious, I'm afraid you will have to go to court.

It is really the most time-saving and labor-saving decision to directly "donate" the money for the title like Mr. "Tower", and it is estimated that the Augustus family, the largest shareholder of the Rune Sea Trade Company, will not be able to pull down his face to sue a newly sealed nobleman again.

"But I still feel that Mr. 'Tower' is at a loss...... I've worked so hard to kill so many pirates, and I can't make enough money for this fraction. ”

After grieving his fellow countryman's ruinous behavior, Klein transferred to a seafood store to buy a case of "canned wolf fish".

He originally planned to set off from the Rorsted Islands and go directly to Nas, the capital of the Gargas Islands, where he waited for the "Future" to pick him up and go to the waters of Abner's mouth to look for mermaids.

And the reason why he came to Sunia Island first was because the Gargas Islands were too far from the mainland and had not yet laid a cinema line, and he also wanted to contribute to the ceremony of Mr. "Tower", so he took a detour.

Now that he has finished watching the film, he naturally has to rush to Nas as soon as possible.

At this time, Crane remembered that the "alchemist" recommended by Roy King, the teacher of "Fat Pharmacist" Darkwell, who could upgrade "Wriggling Hunger", also happened to live in Nath.

According to Roy King, the master known as the "fool of Nas" has a favorite food called "canned wolf fish", which is why Klein wants to buy some from Sunia Island by the way.

But when he was carrying the box and boarded the ship bound for Nass, a sailor saw the tag on the box during a routine security check, causing everyone to quickly move away and keep a distance of at least three meters from him......

The corners of Klein's mouth twitched, remembering the terrifying reputation of this can.

"But among the food that Miss 'Temperance' gave to 'Sun' at the beginning, there was also 'canned wolf fish'...... But the people of Silver City don't seem to be rejecting it, huh? ”

Doubtful and curious, Klein secretly opened a can in his first-class cabin that night, and then, the mad adventurer Gelman Sparrow swallowed the whole can with great perseverance with "wriggling hunger", and he himself ran to the deck with his mouth covered after opening the window for ventilation, crouched down on the railing, and retched silently......
