Chapter 145: A Wave of Surprises Is Coming
Woo!
The monster-like steam locomotive spewed smoke and dragged its long body into the platform, slower and slower.
When the train had come to a complete standstill, Hugh Dilcha stepped over the platform with a small suitcase and walked out of the station.
Then she saw the familiar figure waiting by a carriage and beckoned to her.
The corners of Hugh's mouth unconsciously hooked.
The so-called friend is, of course, Abner, and when Hugh saw him, he noticed the other party, after all, although Hugh was not tall, but as a "punishment knight" who continuously hunted down the most vicious criminals and "punished", she had a kind of majesty in her, and everyone around her would subconsciously keep a distance from her.
When Hugh came near, Abner naturally took her luggage and pulled her into the carriage.
It was only then that Abner took a closer look at his friend, and saw that she was wearing a brown tricorn hat tied with silk, a red coat with a cinched waist, a blue cape, and a white blouse underneath, and a large lace trim at the neckline.
The jacket was paired with dark trousers, and a number of small square bags hung around the waist, which contained items commonly used in battle.
The whole person looks lean and capable, heroic and cool.
It's because the "punishment" that may last for more than a month is overworked, and the original baby fat on her face has lost a lot.
Seeing this, Abner sighed and said, "Actually, you don't need to be in such a hurry to play the ...... I am now sure of your father's affairs. โ
Hugh glanced at the coachman of the carriage and saw that it was Checia, the puppet of Abner's "magic mirror", and that the area around the carriage had been sealed off by spirits, so he shook his head and said:
"I know you will help me get revenge and help my father clear his name...... But for this, I actually want to be involved myself......
"And you said a long time ago that if you want to know the whole truth about this, you have to be at least a demigod!
"I thought you were exaggerating the difficulty...... But now it seems that the demigods that my father was involved in may really be nothing. โ
Listening to your tone, it seems that something has been found? Abner was surprised, so he asked directly, after all, he and Hugh were not outsiders, except for some dangerous knowledge and intelligence, there was nothing taboo.
Hugh took off his hat and put it on the seat next to him, then looked at Abner opposite, and smiled:
"Do you remember when we accompanied Mr. Gaston to the first three floors of the 'Dream Labyrinth Tower'?"
"Of course I do!" Abner was stunned for a moment, then affirmed.
After all, it was that adventure that allowed him to completely get rid of the state of "confused" and "no goal" after "crossing" and integrate into this world.
Otherwise, he would inevitably be like some short-lived "himself", just coming to the mysterious world for a month......
Hugh was similarly shaken by the memory before continuing, "At that time, my reward on the ninth floor of the 'Dream Labyrinth Tower' was a copy.
"It's about the love story of a beautiful girl named Sheman and a noble man, and the worst part is that it's not finished yet, and the story ends when Sheman becomes the nobleman's mistress...... At that time, I thought that her future would definitely not end well......
"Not long ago, one of my sources sent me a message telling me that 'Sherman' had appeared...... But she ...... No, it should be him, and he is still a man.
"He's my friend Sherman on the East End!
And behind him, there is a witch...... And it is likely that the witch that Prince Edssac fell in love with - Triss!
"In addition, one of the two new butlers you hired is also connected to the witch."
Speaking of this, Hugh sighed slightly.
Abner was not surprised that Hugh was able to probe to this point, after all, as a direct subordinate of Her Royal Highness Vera, her power in MI9 was definitely not small.
Especially after George III decided that Vera was completely out of danger, Hugh had more men at his disposal.
With so much convenience, Hugh has received a lot of key information from himself, and it is not surprising that he can touch Triss's "tail".
Abner thought for a moment and asked tentatively, "Have you guessed who your enemy is?" โ
"Since the 'Dream Labyrinth Tower' thinks that the matter of 'Sherman' is the key to unlocking the truth about my father's murder, it is not difficult to relate......
"Although it is unknown which nobleman will be the lover of 'Sherman' after becoming a witch in the future, it must be someone related to my father's case!
"And Triss used 'Sheman' to get close to such a nobleman, most likely for the truth that the prince was killed.
"Edsak's and my father were probably killed for the same thing!
"Plus the 'Mad Captain' and MI9 demigods that Mr. 'World' found out, and some things that the Great Smog covered up......
"Putting these together, it's not hard to guess the real culprit......
"Most of the members of the royal family of Rune, and possibly even His Majesty the King...... They are all my enemies! โ
Hugh said this, and was a little glad that he had not learned from Abner who the enemy was a year earlier...... With his impulsiveness and recklessness at that time, it is very likely that he will do some dangerous things recklessly, and he will not be able to take revenge, but will also involve Furth and Abner.
After all, she also learned after joining the "Tarot Society" that Augustus is an angel family that has continued from the Quaternary Age to the present!
Even Mr. "Fool", when he has not fully recovered to the peak, can only let Mr. "World" investigate covertly.
Abner did not give a clear answer to whether Hugh's guess was correct, but he carefully observed Hugh's "River of Fate" and found that if she were to know the rites of the "Black Emperor" and the true purpose of George III now, it would probably cause her a lot of unnecessary trouble.
After all, there are many extraordinary means in this world, and it is very dangerous to know what you shouldn't know at this stage...... For example, in the original book, Hรฉzel never even met Crane, but when the latter wanted to know where to find the extraordinary items created by the "Fire Stealer" trait, he saw her image.
After a little deliberation, Abner spoke, "I still can't say too much, but I can only tell you that Vera should be trustworthy. โ
"I naturally trust Your Highness...... She was different from the other Augustes. Hugh stared at Abner for a moment, then nodded.
"In fact, she is not Augustus." Abner was worried that Hugh would not trust Vera at some critical moment, causing a bloody incident, so he uncovered some of Vera's bottom up a little.
Hearing this, Hugh was stunned, but then came to his senses, combined with the clues shown by Her Royal Highness the princess in the past, and blurted out: "Tamara? โ
"Yes!" Abner bowed slightly, but did not continue the topic.
Hugh also looked no further, and instead asked, "What about Forth?" โ
I remember that time a year ago, she didn't come to pick me up.
Abner coughed and replied, "She hasn't gotten up yet......"
Hugh subconsciously glanced at his watch and saw that the hour hand on the dial had pointed to one o'clock in the afternoon, so he said angrily and helplessly: "I'm not here, she's getting lazy and lazy, and she actually slept until the afternoon!" โ
After speaking, she also glared at Abner: "You don't care about her!" โ
Abner smiled awkwardly and quickly changed the subject again.
Hugh glanced at him, dwelling on the matter, and then chatted with Abner as he touched a pocket on his waist.
There was a gift she had prepared......
And tomorrow, Thursday, May 12, is Abner's birthday, and she is ready to surprise him in the early hours of the morning.
Abner was unaware of this, after all, he had long since ignored the birthday of this body.
And what he didn't know was that there was more than one person who planned to surprise him tomorrow.
