Chapter 63: Inquiries
"Finally...... The attitude of the gods towards this......
"Heh, even Adam, a possible person, doesn't necessarily pay much attention, how can the other gods be so idle?
"To put it mildly, even if they are concerned, they are only paying attention to me, right?
"After all, it can be seen from those options that no matter what, 'I' will be fine in the end......
"Even the most dangerous 'tributary of fate' that attracted Ulorius, Yarolan exposed himself to help me ward off the disaster.
"But it's precisely because of this 'fate' option that I can't ignore her!"
Sighing slightly, Abner put down his "constructed" pen and thought about how to deal with it.
Thanks to his understanding of all parties, he quickly sensed the key to breaking the situation:
"In fact, Yarolan's 'Secret' was perfect enough that the 'Hidden Sage' couldn't find her body for so many years......
"Her only flaw will be revealed tomorrow at midnight, before she meets me.
"It was precisely because of this opportunity that the members of the 'Psychological Alchemy Society' seized this opportunity and cracked part of Yarolan's arrangement, so that the 'Hidden Sage' could succeed.
From those options, it was too late to inform Yarolan that the meeting would be cancelled, and that she had completely sealed off the deepest nightmare of the town of Cabas after sending the letter, until the appointed time came.
"And that 'Psychological Alchemy Society' team is actually controlled by the person behind the scenes, and it makes no sense to attack them......
"So, the key point is actually the person behind the scenes, that is, the 'dragon of fantasy' Angelweed or Hermes!"
At this thought, Abner gradually had a plan in his heart, and decided to talk to His Highness Vera first, and if she was not involved in this matter, he entrusted her to stop the two angels for a moment at that time, leaving a chance for Yarolan to deal with it.
If Vera also knew about it, or even participated in it, then she would have to find a way to ask the goddess for help.
For some reason, Abner felt that the goddess was more neutral than Lilith when it came to dealing with Yarolan.
Of course, if the goddess refuses to help, he also has other backup plans, including but not limited to using the body of the "God of Luck" for a short time to forcibly put a "lucky" on Yalolan......
After pondering for a while, Abner got dressed, and then went straight through the window and disappeared into the night1.
- In view of Vera's invitation to "go and sit with her" after the dinner last Tuesday, Abner knew the current residence of Her Royal Highness.
……
Since Vera and George III did not have a good relationship, she did not live in Queens, where the aristocracy lived, but lived alone in a luxurious villa at 5 Williams Street in the West End.
Of course, she is alone, but in fact, she has all the housekeepers and maids, and there are at least thirty waiters serving her.
And this, in fact, is only the lowest grade configuration, and is often rated as "thrifty".
At this moment, Vera has also just taken a bath, is wearing a simple silk pajamas, leaning on the bedside of the bedroom and reading a book.
At this moment, she suddenly tilted her head, looked in the direction of the window, then the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, and after putting it down, she said with a smile:
"Since you're here, come in...... It's April, but the nights in Beckland are still a little chilly. ”
Soon after her words fell, a well-dressed figure appeared in her bedroom.
The man was about 20 years old, with slightly curly brown hair, blue eyes, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose.
At this moment, he took off his top hat and pressed it to his chest as a gesture of politeness: "Good evening, Lady Vera." ”
Vera looked at him with a smile and deliberately quipped: "This kind of behavior of climbing the window of an unmarried lady in the middle of the night is not a gentleman's behavior." ”
Isn't climbing a window in the middle of the night a deeper meaning of "gentleman"? Abner sneered, but on the surface, after a quick turn of thought, he responded with a smile:
"Didn't you invite me to 'sit'?"
After speaking, he also made an innocent expression.
Seeing this, Vera raised her eyebrows, half leaning on the head of the bed, she lifted the quilt casually, patted the position next to her, and came over to "sit".
If it had been the former Abner, most of them would have backed down...... But after the demigod retrieved Giuseppe's memory, he had a lot of experience, so he didn't frighten and went directly to the bed and sat down.
"If I call someone in now, then tomorrow the news of the new 'Viscount Beldan' breaking into the princess's boudoir at night will make headlines in Beckland." Vera said as if it were true.
"Are you sure 1? You should know that I can change into anyone's appearance at any time......" Abner did not show weakness, but due to the urgency of the matter, he didn't have much heart to argue with Vera here, so his expression became serious, and he said solemnly: "I came to you because I wanted to ask you about something...... I hope you can answer truthfully. ”
"What's the matter?" Vera also put away her smile when she heard this, and sat up straight and asked.
It's just that the pajamas on her body are actually a little loose, and she was fine when she was lying down just now, but when she sat up at the moment, a large patch of whiteness under her neck was on display, almost distracting Abner from this.
Fortunately, he was still quite determined, and after gathering his spirit for a while, he recounted what happened to Yarolan one by one, and asked at the end, "I hope you can tell me the truth...... Are you involved in this? ”
At this time, with a light mist filling the room, Vera suddenly hugged Abner, and after a while she let go of it, then pursed her lips and said with emotion:
"Abner, I'm very touched...... Since you are willing to come and ask me in person. It shows that you actually trust me! ”
At this point, she looked directly into Abner's glasses with sincere eyes, and said solemnly:
"So, naturally, I won't let you down...... I'm here to assure you that I didn't know anything about it until tonight!
"You may seek any god to 'notarize' my words."
"That's not necessary." Abner waved his hand, because his "pure white eyes" had an illusory "sun", and when Vera assured him, he had been "notarized" to confirm that Vera was not lying.
Despite the strange fog interference, the results of the "notarization" may not be accurate, but Abner is willing to believe her.
What's more, he will definitely use the concrete function of the "Wheel of Fortune" to verify it in the future.
Seeing that Abner believed himself so easily, Vera also narrowed her eyes, and while leaning on him, she sighed:
"I didn't expect that arrogant ancient dragon to even count me...... I used to think that His plan was no longer up to date. ”
Abner didn't refuse to approach her, after all, he would ask her for help later, and it was also appropriate to betray some "hue" at this time.
"How can you be sure that this is the work of the 'dragon of utopia' and not Hermes?" Abner asked after a few seconds of silence.
Vera shook her head and said, "You haven't fully recovered your memory, and you probably don't know Hermes yet...... He is actually quite jealous of you, even more than he was of Adam, and will never take the initiative to deal with Yarolan. ”
Fear means loss...... Did Hermes know the meaning of the name "Liu Bo", so he was "polluted"?
As Abner pondered, he heard Jarolan continue:
"Actually, you shouldn't worry too much...... From what I know about Yarolan, she won't be unprepared......
"Even if the 'Hidden Sage' discovers the location of the body by surprise, there must be a means reserved for dealing with it...... At a certain price, she still has a good chance of escaping.
"What's more, since this matter has gone wrong with me, then I will also take responsibility!"
With that, Vera raised her head to the side, looked at Abner again, and smiled, "You came to me so that I could stop that ancient dragon, right?" ”
……
Storm City, the capital of East Chester County, Tuesday morning.
Abner, who had not slept all night, yawned as he walked into a coffee shop and sat down in the seat opposite Hugh Dilcha, who had been waiting for him.
