Chapter 235: The long-lost Tingen
Slightly surprised to hear of Hazel's visit, Abner took a sip of the remaining coffee from his cup, wiped his mouth, and then got up and walked to the living room.
- Abner does not actively use "insight" and other related abilities in his daily life unless necessary, after all, it will inevitably be a lot less fun and less "human".
Arriving in the living room, Abner was surprised to find that it was not Hézel alone, but also Klein's sister Melissa, and Miss Elisabeth, who had recently joined the Night Watch and had a little baby fat on her face.
Among them, Melissa's face still has tear stains, and the color of her emotions looks both surprised and sad, as well as a little uncertain apprehension.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Abner looked at Hézel and said with a smile, "It seems that your 'decryptor' has finished digesting it." ”
"Thanks to your guidance." Hazel stared at Abner's cheek and said gratefully.
It was because Abner told her to investigate Detective Sherlock that she was able to digest the potion so quickly.
Melissa and Elisabeth, who didn't know what they were playing next to them, were a little anxious and secretly pulled Hézel's skirt.
They booked a train to Tingen at 9 a.m., which was a bit of a hurry, which is why they made such a rude move.
Hazel also came back to her senses at this time, withdrew her attracted gaze, and coughed lightly, explaining her intention:
"Melissa and Elisabeth and I have something to do with Tingen and we won't be back until tomorrow at noon...... But apart from Elizabeth's relative freedom because of her work, Melissa and I didn't want our families to worry about it...... So, we'd like to ask you to think of a way to help cover up the past. ”
Wouldn't it be easier to ask me to take you to Tingen in the middle of the night? Abner muttered in his heart, but he also understood that they wanted to verify it alone, after all, it was not a glorious thing to dig up the tomb of a "hero", and it was normal for them not to want people to know.
Even if Hazel digested the potion by "deciphering" Sherlock's secrets, it is not certain that Sherlock is Crane.
"No problem, it's not difficult for me......" Abner smiled and nodded, then took a closer look at Hazel and Melissa.
Just when they were all a little embarrassed, Abner waved his hand, and then two beautiful women appeared in the living room out of thin air.
One of them is Natalia, the "Yellow Saint", and the other is Tracy's mother, the former husband of the "White Saintess" Katarina, and the "Witch of Pain" Rena.
The latter was the secret puppet of the "Ancient Scholar" Devine, who was later sacrificed to Abner after attacking Owen and being given the "Bryan Seed".
Now, both witches have become Alvin's secret puppets.
Melissa and Elizabeth were all photographed by the beauty of the witch, especially the "Yellow Saintess", the kind of charm that comes with it, and they all felt their hearts beat faster and were speechless for a while.
Only Hazel, who was supported by the "metal arm", pursed her lips, revealing a not very happy expression.
As soon as Abner's mind moved, the secret puppet used the "Faceling" ability of the "master" to transform into Melissa and Hézel, respectively.
"That's it! Come back to me tomorrow when you get back, and I'll have them do the job with you. Abner clapped his hands.
This magical method shocked the three of Hazel again, and Melissa stepped forward to take a closer look at the "self", but she didn't see any flaws, even the clothes were exactly the same.
"Thank you for your help, Mr. Viscount." Melissa lifted the hem of her skirt and bowed.
"You're welcome...... Also, just call me Abner. Abner smiled and waved his hand, and then "habitually" observed their fate river to see if the trip to "dig the grave" would go well.
But then he frowned imperceptibly, and quickly withdrew again.
Then, with a squint, he took out a pen and paper and wrote a note, and took Hézel's hand and put the note in it, telling her to look at it again on the train.
Hazel's cheeks turned red suddenly, but she didn't notice that several "spirit worms" were entering her body along Abner's hand and hiding.
When the three girls arrived at the station and boarded the first-class carriage of the train, Hazel, who was still a little dazed, opened the note at the instigation of the students and their girlfriends.
It turned out that the note did not contain what she had expected, but the potion recipe of the "Fire Stealer".
Although this is also very valuable, Hazel has a somewhat complicated mood...... A complication of both joy and disappointment.
……
On the other side, after the three girls left, Abner sat alone in the living room and drank the Duke's black tea, then looked in the direction of Tingen and said to himself: "Hazel really hasn't been able to escape the fate of meeting Amun......
"Well, it's better to block than to unblock...... Since it is difficult to avoid, it is better to let her encounter it once if you are fully prepared!
"If she is forcibly left in Beckland, perhaps 'fate' will go to a more unpredictable 'tributary'......"
Thinking of this, Abner, who wanted to find time to study the "Alvin's Answer Labyrinth", had the highest authority and could only put the plan on hold for the time being.
He went upstairs to wake up Firth and explain something, and then vanished.
……
In the North Side, under St. Samuel's Cathedral, following the old man's instructions, Leonard, who was studying the Sherlock dossier, stared at the portrait of Detective Moriarty on the table, and what he remembered was the appearance of the other party without glasses and beard.
Although this may be a certain distance from the real situation, it is the product of speculation and imagination, but Leonard feels more and more that Sherlock Moriarty is familiar, much like someone he once knew.
"How is that possible? He's already dead! Or I buried it with my own hands! Leonard couldn't help but shake his head and whispered with a smile.
Before he finished speaking, his expression suddenly froze a little, because the person in his memory was not simple, and he hid a big secret:
This man is bizarrely able to shake off the effects of "2-049" and doesn't need the help of others!
This man took advantage of the peculiarity of "2-049" to take out a Sequence 7 extraordinary, and he was just a "soothsayer" who was not good at fighting at the time!
This man will use the tricks and ritual magic of the ancient Bloodline!
This person summed up the "playing method" in a short time, and was promoted to Sequence 8 at an extraordinary speed!
This man possessed a high-order solar realm spell, and in conjunction with Dunn Smith, the captain who used the Holy Ashes, he actually killed Megaoos, who was pregnant with the heir of the evil god!
This man's Sequence 8 Extraordinary Trait was taken by Ince Zangwill, while Captain Dunn Smith's Sequence 7 Extraordinary Trait was left in place!
Perhaps, it wasn't Ince Zangwill's casual snatching of an extraordinary property that happened to precipitate that caused the scene to be missing, but that there was no corresponding thing at all! Leonard Mitchell snapped back to his senses and looked at Sherlock Moriarty's portrait again.
The more he looked, the more he felt that the mysterious detective Sherlock Moriarty was very much like his former teammate, the hero who saved Tingen, Klein Moretti!
After a quick flip through the information, he sat down in his chair and did not move for a long time, as if he had fallen asleep in the shadows brought by the light.
After a few minutes, Leonard finally had a change of posture, he leaned back in his chair, and said in a low voice:
"Old man, do you think Sherlock Moriarty, the detective, resembles my teammate in Tingen, Klein Moretti?"
Silly boy, you finally see it...... But there's only one thing to see, don't you think that Dwayne Dantès and Dunn Smith are also very similar? In his mind, Paris first muttered a few words to himself, and then said in a slightly old voice with a pretended hesitation:
"The one who joined the 'Night Watcher' because of the Antigonus family notes?"
"Yes to ......," Leonard replied in a deep voice.
The parasite inside him said after two seconds:
"Sort of."
Leonard, who received the answer, fell silent again, and after a long time, he took out his gold-shelled pocket watch, snapped it open, and looked at it to make sure it was still morning.
Leonard immediately closed the lid of the watch, stood up sharply, and after leaving a note for his teammates, he went out and called a carriage and headed straight for the train station.
……
City of Tingen, Fortune Tellers' Club.
A man in his thirties, wearing a white shirt and a black vest with dark skin, dark green pupils, pale yellow and soft hair, suddenly outlined a smile on the corner of his mouth, and then he put a monocle that had been hanging on his chest for a long time as a decoration on his right eye.
"Mr. Glacis?" The lady who was sitting across from him, waiting for his divination, couldn't help but scream when she saw him smiling strangely.
Who would have thought that "Glacis" only glanced back at the lady, and she stopped talking, but took out a monocle out of nowhere, and put it on as well......
"Pales in this city?" A man and a woman said in unison.
