Chapter 187: Friends (Plus Change)
Just looking at the crown covered in rust and blood, Crane's spiritual instincts were a frantic reminder of what a terrible thing it was.
"It'...... What is it? Crane withdrew his gaze and said in a solemn tone.
"It is an item similar to the 'Calamity Seal', a seal formed by the extraordinary properties of the 'Conqueror', numbered '0-33', which was supposed to be in the collection of the Royal House of Rune, but it appeared in the hands of the 'Black Maiden' during the battle on Monday night."
Abner only explained a few words, but his tone was meaningful.
Speaking of which, just now he entered the confessional room, and he was going to pray to the goddess about the results of the battle that day, but he didn't expect the "secret servant" Lady Arianna to suddenly appear and give him the crown.
As for what he asked, he was told to go to Princess Vera......
"'The Conqueror'...... Sequence 1? Although he was a little prepared, Klein was still startled, and it took a while to come back to his senses and think about the implied meaning of the other party's words, "So, is there really a deep connection between the royal family of Rune and the Witch Sect?"
"What the hell are they planning?"
Although the collusion between the two parties had long been heard about by Klein from the "Sick Lieutenant General" Tracy, and had also confirmed the matter of the "Mad Captain" Connors Victor, he did not expect that their connection would be so deep, so deep that even the "0" level seal could be delivered.
"They are also a slave trader and a smog maker...... What exactly do you want to do? Klein couldn't help but ask.
"Let's wait until you become a demigod...... Now know that it won't do you any good. Abner glanced at him and took out the words he had said many times to Hugh.
When you become a "trickster", after your ability to survive has been improved essentially, you can go to "recklessness" and "recklessness".
When the time comes, you will be in the light and I will be in the dark, and you may be able to completely change the dynasty of the Kingdom of Rune.
Well, although she doesn't know what Vera, or Tamara, is planning, since she has chosen Princess Rune as her identity, it is obvious that she will not just enjoy life.
To accomplish some kind of ritual?
She claims to be not an extraordinary person in the "Potions" pathway, but a "Receiving Potions" system similar to the Western Continent...... But even the "Receiving Ceremony" should require a ritual.
This ritual is probably related to the ruler of the "country".
As his thoughts turned, Abner continued to chat with Klein until he was about to arrive at his villa at 160 Berklund Street, where he said goodbye and got out of the car.
However, just as Abner was about to turn into the street next to him, he suddenly looked back at the alley at the corner of the street, and then hooked the corners of his mouth and walked directly into the spirit world.
Except for the obscure sight in the alley, other passers-by turned a blind eye to it.
"Old man...... Did he find me? In the alley, Leonard turned his head to himself and muttered to himself.
"Of course, you shouldn't challenge the intelligence capabilities of a 'Seeker.'" Parles sighed, "And he's noticed not only you, but me." ”
Although he is not in good shape, he is a sequence 1 after all...... However, in the information level contest between "decryption" and "insight" just now, he actually fell into disadvantage......
"Although he is a 'perceptive', he is not an ordinary 'discerning one'!" Parles emphasized.
"Isn't that old friend of yours the Duke of the Bloodline? Why did he rise so quickly in the 'reader' pathway?
"This speed is comparable to the revival of the gods!" Leonard was a little unbelievable.
"How do I know? Rhine is already very mysterious, although he is easy-going and unpretentious, but he is only the Duke of the Blood Clan in Sequence 2, and he dares to call His Majesty a brother......
"What's more, His Majesty is not disgusted by this, but takes it for granted." Parles sighed as he reminisced.
"But why would a big man like him come to Dawn Dantès? That's just a businessman who was lucky enough to make a fortune in the arms trade. Leonard said with a frown.
He wasn't worried about Daun, but he was afraid that Daun would be involved in some terrible incident that would affect Dalie.
The only extraordinary people who came out of Tingen were him and Dali, and he didn't want Dali, who had finally come out of the "haze", to fall into "despair" again...... "despair" would be borne by him alone!
"Didn't you hear? Isn't it normal for Dawn Dantès to spend money to donate Ebner Brayne's territory to Berdan, and they meet in private? "Pales didn't think there was anything, after all, he still trusted the character of the Rhine, and he really had nothing to say to his friends...... Well, especially female friends.
"I still think there may be some shady things between them, even if Dawn wants to enter the upper class, there is no need to 'bribe' a new viscount like this......" Leonard thought for a while, looked at the villa at 160 Berklund Street, and made up his mind, "I'll go to Dawn's dream tonight and ask!" ”
Parles did not speak again, but sighed in secret, knowing in his heart that the silly boy would either be fooled back or would return in vain.
After all, in addition to Abner, he had just sensed the "ancient" aura in that Dawn Dantès, and when he fought with the "Insight" at the information level, he also "stole" some of the information, plus he had long known that the so-called "Dawn" was actually Dunn Smith, so he roughly guessed what was going on.
Silly boy, do you think it's possible that your enmity doesn't exist at all?
……
After leaving Berlund Street, Abner did not rush to find Princess Vera about the aftermath of Monday night's battle, but first went to the house of Sheriff Farsin in Jowood.
Since Edith had received a message from Anderson and had gone out on adventures again, and Sheriff Fasin was working his usual overtime, only Mrs. Fassin, a few handy-maids, and Tolzina, a little over a month old, were present in the huge house.
Mrs. Fasin was reading a book in the living room, and only a dozing maid was tending to the baby in the bedroom.
Abner's figure silently appeared by the crib in the bedroom, and the dozing maid soon fell into a deep sleep.
When the baby girl Tolzna saw him coming, she floated directly in the air, looked around carefully, and after confirming that there were no enemies, she asked in surprise: "Why are you here?" ”
He reacted and said, "Have you regained Dennett's memory?" ”
"Yes...... But a piece was missing. Abner bowed slightly, "Do you know who erased my memory?" ”
Tolzna shook her head and said, "You should know that I only had a little consciousness by your side at that time, and the memory of that consciousness was only obtained after you sacrificed '1-025' in the 'Dennett Labyrinth' and let the 'Right Hand of God' return to my body.
"So, since your memory has been used by your hands and feet, it is naturally impossible for me, who was one with you at the time, to be spared."
I see...... Sure enough, there are no loopholes...... Most of it is my own handiwork! Is it an arrangement that I can't know at this stage?
Abner nodded thoughtfully, and was about to leave.
But at this time, Tolzna stopped him.
Abner did not use "insight" and looked back at Him in bewilderment,
Tolzna stared into Abner's eyes with the pure eyes of a baby, and said solemnly:
"Now that you've recovered Dennett's memory...... So I'm going to talk about it now......
"Thank you, my friend!
"Thank you for keeping your promise and saving me from the Mother Tree of Desire!"
Abner was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then slightly hooked the corners of his mouth, and the memories of three hundred years of Tolzna's consciousness came flooding into his mind, and the joy of helping his friend out of trouble once again made him firm in the meaning of his existence, and said with a smile:
"You're welcome, we're friends!"
