Since what Crane said was not in a hurry, Abner quickly put it down and refocused on the banquet.

- He plans to go to East Chester County tomorrow to pick up the original manuscript of Russell, and if he still has time, he will consider a trip to Nas, the capital of the Gargas Islands.

It was said that it was a celebration banquet, but because he already knew that the "Calamity Seal" was placed behind his "Pure White Eye", Abner did not hold it very solemnly and formally.

It's more like a dinner party for friends than a dinner party.

Seeing that everyone had eaten about the same time, Abner, as the host, stood up, picked up a glass of "Ormir" red wine, and began to clink glasses with his friends one by one along the long table.

He came to the nearest Xiu first, and after a drink with her, he smiled and said, "I seem to owe you a hot spring trip?" ”

"If only you remember." Hugh's tone was a little unkind, both because of the other party's procrastination, and also because there was only milk in her cup.

"I always remember......" Abner smiled and whispered a few words in Hugh's ear, and then walked over to Phil with his glass, while Hugh was a little stunned in his glass, and after a while he poured the milk into his mouth.

Fores, on the other hand, was greedy, and after clinking glasses with Abner, she drank all the wine in the glass:

"Sure enough, it's Ormere, the most well-known wine, and the vintage is probably not low...... It tasted a lot better than the ones we drank in Intis, and each level had a different feeling......"

"If you leave a few days late, and when I officially step into the upper echelons of Trier, there will be no shortage of wines of this grade." Abner said as he poured her another glass, clinking glasses again, "Welcome back to Beckland, Miss Verth Wall."

"You were the one who saw me off in Trier, and now you are the one who welcomes me back to Bakeland...... Why do you feel a little strange......" Buddha Si complained, but did not refuse the full "Ormir" in the cup, and drank it all again.

Abner took out a bracelet of several stones from his pocket, put it into the hand of the Buddha, bent down, and whispered, "This is a gift for you." ”

"Gifts?" He looked down and felt that the lines on the stone were a little familiar, "What is it for?" An ornament? ”

"This is a 'teleportation stone' that can be teleported to a designated location in case of crisis, and can be used three times ...... at the moment"

After a brief introduction, Abner continued to walk towards Hazel without waiting for Furth to react, only to curl the corners of his mouth the moment he turned his back.

I knew Abner would give me this, why should I spend money on that badge at the Tarot meeting? Holding the bracelet, Furth couldn't help but laugh at himself.

Hugh, who had seen all of this and knew the cause and effect clearly, looked back and forth between Furth and Abner a few times, and finally sighed.

On the other hand, although Hazel was not very old, she was already a social adult, so she also poured herself a glass of white wine, and when she saw Abner coming, she took the initiative to raise her glass.

After celebrating the success of "Russell Gustaf" and "In Search of the Laurel", Hazel said to Abner with some reservedness and some pride: "My 'cheater' potion has been digested. ”

"Is this a 'fraud'?" Abner made a joke at first, and then put on a solemn face and admonished, "When you become a 'decryption scholar,' you have to be more cautious...... It's best to stay in Harvest Church often......"

"Why?" Hazel was puzzled.

Because after the middle sequence of your path, part of it often becomes a seal, and part of it becomes Amun...... Abner thought so in his heart, but on the surface he adhered to the principle of "keeping knowledge", and explained simply:

"You can understand that all the extraordinaries of the 'thief' path have a common enemy...... So, even the demigod teacher you used to be has been hiding. ”

Hazel nodded thoughtfully and said seriously, "I see." ”

Seeing this, Abner frowned, because he found that the most likely "tributary" of Hazel's "River of Destiny" still intersected with one of Amun's doppelgangers, and was not deflected by his own admonition......

Now Hazel is not as ignorant and arrogant as in the original book, and he still takes my words very seriously...... That, if not her subjective problem...... Is it because of extraordinary aggregation? Or is it for some reason that I don't know yet......

I didn't expect her and Amon to have a "fate"!

Sighing to himself, Abner decided to find another opportunity to continue to deflect Hazel's fate in the future, after all, the environment here is not right, and he does not dare to open the "pure white eye".

Abner then clinked glasses with several men, including inventor Raypard, journalist Mike, and Benson, who had recently become a civil servant, to thank them for their help to his studio.

Among them, Raypard, as the main inventor of the sound projector, received a large amount of dividends;

And Mike's reporter registered a new pen name, began to write professional film reviews, and became the head of the public opinion department formed by the film and television company.

- After getting Prince Edsak's stake in the Daily Observer, Abner, Vera and Hazel already have absolute control over the newspaper, and it is normal to seconded Mike as the head of the department.

As for Benson, although he has only only become an employee of the Ministry of Finance, he still played a role in the simultaneous release of previous films, at least the financial support for the establishment of public theaters in some small towns was passed so quickly, and he is credited.

After a few words with each of the gentlemen, Abner came to Melissa's side.

The young lady was not yet very old, so Mrs. Scudder prepared juice for her.

After briefly touching the glass, Melissa pursed her lips and whispered, "I will try to return the money for the 'potion' material to you......"

With Hazel's help, she managed to make potions from the materials sent by Abner's messengers, and is now a Sequence 9 "Psychiatrist".

The gods testified that when she learned from Hézel that the potion in Sequence 9 was worth 400 gold pounds, she was stunned.

You must know that before Crane's death, his salary in a year may only add up to so much...... And Benson had even less then!

And that's just sequence 9...... Melissa had a hard time imagining what the price of the subsequent potions would be.

It was actually bought by your brother for you, and I just handed it over...... Abner muttered in his heart, but he only smiled on the surface, and did not refuse the girl's insistence, after all, he had a goal in this way, and he was more motivated to study and work.

It's good for her and for her film and television company...... It's a win-win.

……

When the banquet was over, except for Hugh and Firth, the rest of the guests took their own leave.

After leaving the villa at 28 Kingster Street, Benson had the opportunity to be alone with his sister, and after a few small talks, he suddenly asked as if unintentionally:

"Melissa, what did you say to Mr. Viscount Blaine?"

Melissa stopped and stared at her brother's head for a long time, until she saw that the other party couldn't help but raise her hand to comb her hair, and then said seriously:

"I'm talking to Abner about why he likes girls so much, but my brother doesn't......"

This...... Benson was speechless for a moment, but then asked in a strange way, "What did he say?" ”

Abner says you need to take care of yourself...... Especially the hairline! Melissa stared at the top of her brother's head, serious.

Benson's expression suddenly became complicated, he opened his mouth, and spat out: "I read the newspaper before, and it was said that there is something called the sap of the Donningsman tree, which may be effective for hair growth......"

Hearing this, Melissa finally couldn't hold back, burst out laughing, and said, "I'm kidding...... How could I possibly ask Abner such a question. ”

Benson was suddenly petrified, and after a long while, he said helplessly, "Melissa, when did you learn to speak like that?" ”

"You said before, 'What's the difference between a humorless man and a curly-haired baboon?' Melissa gave him a casual look and asked, "Am I bad like this?" ”

"Excellent! I mean, that's what I want you to be! It seems that you have a good relationship with the people in the film and television company. Benson said with relief.

How long has it been since Crane died, how long has it been since he'd seen his sister so happy? Although it may have been brought by the Detective Flowerheart, I still have to thank him...... What about good contradictions?

Melissa saw the joy and contradiction in her brother's heart, and also hooked the corners of her mouth, and said in her heart:

"It's coming, it's coming! I've stepped into the world where Crane once was......

"I'll definitely find out the real cause of his death!"

……

Inside the bedroom on the third floor of Villa 28 Kinster Street.

Abner, who had just taken a shower and changed his clothes, was about to take a break, when he heard a knock on the door.

As soon as he sensed it, he saw that it was Hugh standing outside the door.
