Chapter 188: Three Rules
Night, 160 Berlund Street, inside the master bedroom.
In the dream, Crane suddenly woke up and knew that an "outsider" was coming.
"Night watchman"? But Dawn, as the husband of the night watchman, may have been censored a long time ago...... He muttered as he looked around and found himself in his bedroom on the second floor.
Then, he heard a knock on the door.
"Come in......" Crane struggled to make his voice sound like he was in a dream.
Then, with the turn of the handle, the door opened, and a familiar figure walked in.
Dressed in a black trench coat, red gloves, dark hair and green eyes, he was handsome, and he was none other than Leonard Mitchell, what Klein called a "poet classmate".
"Dwayne, we're meeting again." Leonard casually sat down on a chair in his bedroom and took a sip from his teacup.
"What's the matter, Leonard?" Klein got into the groove.
He knew that due to the influence of the "Nightmare" ability, he should behave normally at this time.
Leonard put down his teacup and asked in a deep voice:
"Why are you investing in Abner Blaine's domain?"
It turned out to be for this...... I thought you were coming to me for a showdown! Well, even if it's a showdown, it's better to wait until I pass the goddess test and enter the "Chanis Gate", otherwise other things may happen.
Klein's mind raced, and then he responded "honestly":
"I knew Viscount Blaine before I came to Beckland, and yes, he took care of my business in Byam......"
Dawn's resume was made up by Klein to "Lina", so he already knew it.
Abner's "Fragrant Leaf Bar" in Byam had dealings with many businessmen, and there was no way to find out.
As for the question of whether it will expose the boss behind "fragrant leaves", it will be exposed...... By now, Abner no longer cares about this little thing.
After briefly describing the imaginary experience and "selling" Abner by the way, Klein stopped.
It turned out to be because of this...... Leonard nodded abruptly, but said with a straight face:
"Does Daly know that?"
Klein said without hesitation:
"You know, when we went to Byam to complete that arms deal, we also got help from Viscount Blaine."
Although it is the special department of the "Church of the Night" that really contributes to the arms deal, with Abner's relationship with the goddess, in a broad sense, it is not a problem to say that it is his help.
At the same time, Klein made up in his mind.
It seems that Dawn was lucky enough to make a fortune, and he had something to do with the old monster of Abner Bryan, and even arranged it by the other party, no wonder Dawn would take the initiative to invest in his territory!
That makes sense......
Thinking of this, Leonard asked Dawn if there was any other cooperation between him and Abner, and after receiving a negative answer, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as you don't get Dali into danger, there's no need to worry too much, otherwise Ms. Dali will probably be dissatisfied.
Then, Leonard stood up and used the "Nightmare" ability to influence Dwayne Dantès, so that when he woke up, he only vaguely remembered what kind of dream he had, but could not recall the specific content.
After doing all this, he turned and walked to the door, twisted the handle, and left the dream.
I didn't bow and say goodbye, it's really rude! Klein complained after Leonard disappeared, and then sighed slightly:
"Now is not the time, and you may not believe me if I take the initiative to reveal my identity...... Let's wait until you find out for yourself! β
Klein was silent for a few seconds, curling the corners of his mouth, laughing at himself, and then "waking up".
Then, he shrugged his back, leaned back against the head of the bed, and looked out the window.
I saw that in the dark night, the light of the gas street lamps was dim and pale, illuminating the surrounding gloom and dead silence.
And the next moment, Sharon, wearing a small black floppy hat and a court dress of the same color, appeared in the glass of the window, staring at him.
"Has anyone been here?" Sharon asked succinctly.
Hearing her illusory voice and seeing her beautiful face like a delicate doll, for some reason, Crane felt his mood instantly better.
β¦β¦
Beckland West End, inside a luxury house.
Her Royal Highness Vera, who was wearing pajamas, smiled and waved her hand to release a thick mist after seeing Abner "shuttling" coming, enveloping the room and making the crimson of the window lose its color.
"Good evening, Your Highness Vera." Abner saluted his chest and took the initiative to greet him.
"Actually, it's supposed to be late at night." Vera glanced at the wall clock and quipped with a smile.
Isn't that because it's a little late to catch up with Tolzna...... However, as one of the heads of MI9, I may not have seen you if I came early.
Although he said a few words in his belly, Abner still confessed on the surface, and then went straight to the point: "What was the result of Monday night?" β
He needs to assess whether the royal family of Rune will overreact to the attack on the Black Maiden...... For example, to provoke a war in advance, or to let George III risk ascending to the throne in advance.
As if seeing his concern, Vera smiled and said, "Don't worry, the Royal Family of Rune still doesn't know that the 'Black Saint' has been attacked...... They only learned that someone had reported that the Hale family's prom had been mixed with high-order witches. β
"However, the 'Black Saintess' should be the highest-level liaison with Rune......
"Whether she's missing or dead, as long as she doesn't contact Rune or the Witch Sect for a long time, it will alert them, right?
"Of course, it would be even worse if she was allowed to escape!" Abner looked into Vera's eyes and analyzed.
Vera shook her finger and said with a feigned dissatisfaction, "We had five angels here, and even if Medea was experienced in escaping, it would be impossible for her to escape......
"What's more, she can't beat me at all!"
"Medea?" Abner asked, although he had "insights" based on the name.
Vera glanced at him with a playful look in her eyes, but still replied, "Medea is a member of the 'Succubus' family of the Quaternary Age, and has followed the 'Night Emperor', and even followed him to besiege and kill me at the beginning!" β
Saying that, she didn't wait for Abner to ask again, and said directly: "After I 'imprisoned' her, I forced her to let go of her spirit body, and let me make three rules in it.
"First, on the premise of not harming her, and not deliberately sending her to death, she must accept my orders at least once a month for a hundred years;
"Second, she cannot reveal to any being, in any form, what she has been driven by me;
"Third, she can't take revenge on you, and all your friends.
"With these three rules, she can now be said to be our servant, and naturally she will not be exposed in front of George III."
Abner thought for a moment and asked, "What if she asks the Primordial Witch for help?" β
"These rules are set directly in her spirit by relying on the 'Fog of Uncertainty', and Chick alone cannot break them." Her Royal Highness Vera said confidently, "Moreover, her prayer to the gods itself is also against the rules, and she can't do it at all. β
"Of course, the final interpretation of these three rules is in my hands, and she can't get around it anyway." Vera finally added.
It turns out that this is the case, Abner thought carefully about these three rules, although he felt that there were many "loopholes", but since the interpretation power was in Vera's hands and could be added at any time, it was not a big problem.
"By the way, Medea took the initiative to reveal some information after being driven by me, and some of it was about you." Vera seemed to sense that Abner wanted to leave at this time, so she took the initiative to speak.
Abner, who was about to leave, swallowed back the words he was about to utter, and asked curiously, "What information?" β
"The 'Red Saintess' and the 'White Saintess' of the Witch Sect have invited the 'Blue Saintess' at a great price, and are ready to go to Trier to capture Owen Delien together......
"They had asked Medea as well, but she didn't."
