Chapter 28: Abner's Tips
In the café opposite the museum, the handsome poet Leonard, who had black hair and blue eyes, watched through the glass window as Abner Bryan boarded the carriage and gradually moved away, then buried his head and asked in a suppressed voice:
"Old man, do you think there is a problem with this new viscount?"
As soon as the words fell, the slightly old voice sounded in his mind:
"You are becoming more and more rude, and in our day and age, disrespect for those in high positions meant that you would be a sacrifice to a living sacrifice."
After a few complaints, Paleston paused before continuing:
"There are questions for sure...... Otherwise, how could it be that in less than a year, he became a demigod directly from the middle sequence? But he shouldn't have anything to do with what you're investigating. ”
"The last time you were in Byam, you said he reminded you of an old friend, right? You also said that he might have received the inheritance of that one...... You just don't want me to investigate him, do you? After muttering a few words, Leonard said suspiciously: "But it is still very suspicious that such a big man suddenly made an exhibition that is not famous!" ”
"Hehe, the 'prophet' often behaves unreasonably, but in hindsight it turns out that things often turn in his favor......" Parles Zoroaster snapped.
"'Prophet'......" Leonard nodded thoughtfully, after the training of the "Red Glove", he already knew a lot about the path mastered by other churches and major organizations, and knew that this was the sequence 4 of the "reader" pathway, and the recipe was only in the hands of the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom" church on the surface.
He couldn't help but feel a little envious in his heart, after all, the other party's ascension speed was exactly what he desired.
Sighing, Leonard seemed to feel a little hot, so he unbuttoned his collar and asked casually, "Since Abner Blaine has become a 'prophet', it means that he is a member of the Knowledge Church...... But how did he become a concubine of Mother Earth Goddess? ”
"There's nothing strange about it, it's just that you don't have much knowledge...... Historically, although it has not been many times for members of the Church of the God of Knowledge to become the gods of other churches, it still happens once in a few tens or hundreds of years......
"Speaking of which, this may have something to do with the haughty nature of the 'readers', who believe more in knowledge and wisdom itself than in the name of God.
"And the 'God of Knowledge and Wisdom' doesn't care much about this, and as long as he doesn't do anything harmful to the church, he will let it go.
"It turns out that there is nothing wrong with such an attitude, even if it is loosely organized, but the cohesion of the knowledge church is very good......" said Pales with emotion.
Listening to the old man's detailed description, Leonard nodded, temporarily letting go of his suspicions about Abner.
Just then, an ordinary night watchman pushed the door open and walked into the café, came to Leonard's side, whispered a few words in his ear, and then turned to leave.
"Felina suddenly received an invitation from Stewart to go on vacation to Desey Bay and went on a romantic, go-and-go trip?!"
After Leonard repeated the information, he said vigilantly and suspiciously: "Why did she suddenly leave Beckland just when I wanted to investigate her?"
"And the deaths of her previous husbands, and her luck in picking antiquities......
"It's all full of 'coincidences'!
"Hey, if it weren't for Stewart, because of the Storm Church, I would have brought her back to the company for interrogation!"
Speaking of this, he tilted his head again and asked, "Old man, what do you think?" ”
"It was indeed a 'coincidence'...... But her 'coincidence' should only be because of 'luck', and it has nothing to do with '0-08', so you don't have to think about it in vain. ”
Leonard was stunned for a second and said:
"Old man, are you familiar with '0-08'?"
Haven't shown it before!
Pales's slightly old voice laughed:
"Of course, I'm familiar with it, in the Quaternary period, '0-08' caused the fall of angels.
"I can't say too much to you, because, if you know it, it knows you, and the more you know about it, the more likely you are to be a part of the story."
From the old man's vague words, Leonard really tasted the horror of "0-08", which was beyond the occult he could understand!
"Then why didn't you tell me before I investigated?" After a moment's thought, Leonard asked habitually.
Seeing this, Parles Zoroyaster smiled and said in a low voice:
"People, you have to have experience to grow."
"......" Leonard was a little speechless for a moment.
……
The Silver City, inside the Round Tower.
Derick Berg met again with the Chief Colin of the "Council of Six". Iliad.
He clearly remembers that nearly seventy days ago, he was told that in about two months, he would have a mission to explore, and he had to be prepared.
In the past two months, with the help of patrol missions and hard practice, Derrick has completely mastered the extraordinary abilities of the "Sun Priest", and it is not too far from digesting.
What he hopes most now is to obtain the potion recipe for Sequence 6 of the "Sun" pathway in the next two or three tarot gatherings to lay the foundation for his continued ascension.
"Afternoon Town ......" When he heard the destination of this mission from the chief, Derik was stunned at first, and then saw the other party's almost "explicit" gaze, and he had a little realization in his heart:
The chief wanted him to report this matter to Mr. "Fool", and inform the Great Being that Silver City was already exploring the direction of the Giant Court according to his wishes.
After all, Afternoon Town was the only way for the Silver Nation to reach the Giants' Court, where humans and giants lived in the town, clustered around the abode of the ancient gods that were forever frozen in twilight, like the last gate from the real world to myths and legends.
Such a place must be very dangerous, and the Chief would like to get some support, or a hint.
"I, need, a quiet room." Derick said as he pondered his words.
Colin Iliad seemed to be prepared, and raised his hand to the hallway:
"There are a lot of rooms with open doors on the other side that are empty, you can choose one yourself."
"Yes, Your Excellency." Derrick bowed and withdrew, found a random room with no one, locked the wooden door, sat down, and whispered a prayer in a dark corner with his eyes glowing slightly.
……
"Mirai", a spacious room with a bathroom.
Klein, who had just stepped on the "Star Bridge" in front of everyone's attention in the port, and climbed the "Star General" flagship, stood by the window, looking at the blue ocean that never stopped rising and falling outside, and breathed the cold wind blowing from the north in a good mood.
Thinking back to the "toxin expert" Frank Lee and the "bloodless" Heath Doyle, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching, and he always felt that there seemed to be no normal people on Gardelia's ship......
In comparison, Miss Jane, who talks a lot, is not so "prominent".
As soon as he thought of this, Crane's ears suddenly heard the faint sound of prayer, so he retracted his thoughts, went into the bathroom, and came to the gray mist, where he soon heard Mr. "Sun's" pleading.
"Afternoon Town? How do I know what that place is? This should be asked to Liu Bo! I remember one time in his life in God's forsaken land. ”
Feeling deeply troubled, Klein thought for a moment, gritted his teeth, and directly transferred the request of "Sun" to "Tower".
……
Beckland, inside the villa at 28 Kings Street.
Abner had just picked up Fanny and Elaine from Intis, and was discussing the political situation in Trier and the company's development strategy with the ladies at the banquet.
At this moment, a boundless gray mist appeared in front of his eyes.
After a while, he came back to his senses and continued the previous topic, only muttering in his heart:
Afternoon town? That place and the Land of Night are actually similar to the town of "Kabas" that I entered in Professor Michelle's dream before...... As long as the spirit body is pulled into the space above the gray fog by Mr. "Fool", it will be safe.
However, Klein actually directly transferred the request of "Suns...... He's getting less and less pretending......
……
There was a knock on the door, echoing through the chief room at the top of the round tower.
Long before the voice sounded, Colin Iliad knew that Derrick Berg was opening the door and walking this way.
"Come in." He turned towards the entrance.
Darek pushed the door open and bowed:
"Your Excellency, I've got some hints."
Colin Iliad nodded calmly and said:
"What are they?"
"First, the monsters in the town in the afternoon are afraid of the bright light; Second, be careful of the 'strange afternoon town' that you will fall into when triggered in the real afternoon town......" Derick said here, paused for a moment, and continued in Abner's tone, "Once you are trapped, it is best to recite the honorific name immediately: the ...... of the fool who does not belong to this era"
……
On Thursday morning, after sending Fanny, who had been staying alone, back to Intis, Abner did not rush back to Beckland, but drove to a private room in a rather remote café.
Soon, the "Black Knight" Thelo, whose fate had been usurped by the former Pope of the "Eternal Sun", sat down opposite him after saluting.
"My lord, Mr. Chancellor of House Delien, seems to be going mad."
