Chapter 288: Gathering
In fact, from the moment Veranica prepares to ambush Margaret, she falls into Abner's calculations.
And she relied on her many times to escape from the hands of Medea, the "Black Saintess", and a seal formed by the "Rover" trait, the "Star Banner", did not help her get out of her predicament.
Because Abner manipulated the "Ghost Empire" to cover the "mirror world" she had previously transformed, and unwittingly threw it into the world in the ship.
After that, Abner didn't care anymore, if "Monica" was in her own "domain", she couldn't take down a "ageless witch" whose strength was limited by the "hand of order", and even covered her personality, she didn't deserve to be called the "succubus ancestor".
In short, when Emlyn came to visit at 28 Kingster Street, the "Blue Maiden" had already stood respectfully beside Abner and offered a relatively clean "spring of immortality".
Of course, at this time, the "Blue Saintess", although her appearance has not changed, she is still as elegant as before, full of bookish temperament, but the core is no longer Villanica, but is occupied by "Monica", and has become a container for the other party to "descend" to the "Ghost Empire".
Emlyn didn't pay much attention to the woman who led him into the parlor, at most he thought she was good-looking, but he didn't like this kind of thing that could move on its own, so he just scolded Abner's style and left it behind.
After there was only one person and one blood clan left in the living room, Emlyn sealed off the surroundings with his spirit, looked at Abner who was drinking coffee, and said, "Lord Marquis needs three 1,000-year-old 'Immortal Spring Water', and the price he gave is ......."
Before Emlin could finish his words, he was interrupted by Abner's raised hand, who had already "perceived" the other party's "bottom line", so he said with a smile: "Don't quote those tentative prices, just tell me the highest price you are authorized." ”
Emlin was suddenly frightened and whispered, "I haven't finished yet, how do you know?" ”
Abner didn't answer his question, but nodded to himself, "That marquis is quite kind...... Well, I'm okay with an offer of 1,000,000 gold pounds each. ”
Emlyn was stunned, only feeling that he had no secrets in front of the other party, he smiled reluctantly, but finally couldn't hold back his curiosity, and asked, "I didn't realize that my mind was invaded...... How the hell do you do that? ”
2k
He has been transferred to the Vampire trait of Sequence 5 in a three-way deal with Abner and Derik, and has become a "Crimson Scholar" who can use "moonlight" to illuminate the mind.
"You know, I'm a detective......" Abner looked at him and said seriously, "So, it's reasoning! ”
Are you fooling me? Emlyn glanced at Abner with disdain, then raised his hand and pinched the tip of his nose, and said with a smile: "That great detective, can you 'reason' what I am going to say next?" ”
Hearing this, the corners of Abner's mouth curled slightly, and then he took a mirror and embodied the "insightful" picture in it.
I saw that the surface of the mirror first fluctuated like the surface of the water, and then slowly took on the figure of Emrin.
It's just that a rectangular box appeared next to his mouth, and words kept appearing in it, as if he was talking.
- This form has been used in some comic books, and is said to have been created by Russell the Great, so Emlyn understands the meaning.
"Now that the price has been negotiated, let's talk about the specifics of the transaction...... The Marquis wants to set the trading time for twelve o'clock next Wednesday night...... The location is yours. Emlyn said in the picture.
Then, the picture in the mirror changed, and Abner appeared, smiling, and the words appeared on his lips:
"It seems that one of the marquis who needs the 'Fountain of Youth' will be able to fully awaken from their slumber next week?
"Well, I don't have a problem with timing...... As for the location, it will be at Lady Helen's castle.
"She's both a blood clan and the archbishop of the 'Mother Earth God' church, we can all rest assured, can't we?"
At this point, Abner pushed the mirror aside, and then looked at the stunned Emlyn with a smirk.
After becoming a "seeker" and using the power of the "omniscient eye", Abner already had a bit of the "style" of "Arodes", and he even moved the idea of integrating his name into a "secret art" to spread it out and play it.
But it's a pity that it's difficult for people who don't know how to use this secret technique, and people who know how to do it will inevitably be very cautious about this "secret technique", and it can't help him play it well...... So I had to give up.
After a while, Emlyn came back to his senses and immediately sighed, "So you used this kind of 'reasoning'......"
This is not the same thing as "reasoning" as I understand it, right?!
Then, reining in the pride of his promotion, he smiled and said, "I will inform the Marquis of your suggestion of a meeting place." ”
……
Saturday night.
Nelly Pitt, one of the Vice-Chancellors of the Esoteric Society who lived in the Golden Horn Manor in Indoport, stood up and closed the curtains after sending away the manservants and butlers. Then he sat back on the sofa, rubbing a badge in his hand, quietly waiting for eight o'clock to come.
"The president has disappeared for more than a hundred years, does this return mean that she has taken another step forward and become a 'secret attendant'?
"Also, I don't know if I will be punished by the president for my fight with Daphne Priest and Maude......
"Daphne Priest is here to say that she is not a direct descendant of the president, and the conflict between me and her is not too serious, so it should not be a big problem.
"But it's hard to say on Maude's side...... He himself is a descendant of the Zarathu family, and he has been hiding in the Southern Continent all these years because he was suppressed by me and Daphne...... He will definitely complain to the president!
"Hey, but the fact that the president was the first to find Devine after he came back and asked her to inform the others of the meeting is interesting in itself......
"If it weren't for that, and the results of my divination weren't too bad, I'm afraid I wouldn't dare wear this badge on my body all the time."
As soon as he thought of this, he realized that the time had come to eight o'clock in Trier time, and the badge in his hand suddenly bloomed with dazzling light, forming a "door" made of starlight and gray mist.
As soon as Nelly touched the door, he was told that once he passed through the "door", the spirit would be taken to a hidden space.
He hesitated for a moment, knowing in his heart that the president's order could not be disobeyed, so he gritted his teeth and entered it.
The next moment, he found himself in a palatial palace.
……
At the same time, Thales, the "prophet" who also got the badge, also looked at the "door" that appeared in front of him.
Since he was an elder of the "Esoteric Society" that he replaced with extraordinary characteristics, he belonged to the "undercover", so he was quite entangled in his heart at this time, and he didn't know if his disguise would be seen through by Zarathu.
But at this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from inside the "door":
"Come in with confidence!"
Abner?! Thales was stunned for a second, then relaxed and strolled through the door.
