Chapter 330: Invasion
This so-called "life counterattack system" is naturally pretended by Abner, or rather, one of his "discerning eyes".
With the help of the simulated "Whisperer" ability, he descended into the mind of Sailor Tom.
Since the power carried by the "discerning eye" is not much, and most of it is also used for "camouflage" to prevent Gadelia and Sharf from discovering it, they can only rely on the control of "desire" and gradually guide the other party to let go of the protection of their hearts.
Tom said he was the "devil", but he was right, it was indeed the power of the "devil".
As for that "quest system", pure shredding is Abner's bad taste...... Of course, it was also to make it easier to get close to Frank and give Tom some compensation.
"I just didn't expect this product to be illiterate...... As a result, I had to expend my little strength and use the 'Fluent Language' secret technique......
"But it's not a long-term solution...... It seems that before the effect of the secret art disappears, Tom will take the opportunity to learn the Rune script! ”
While Abner's "discerning eye" was pondering, Tom had already taken action after a brief moment of astonishment.
Although he has little culture, he is actually quite a smart and decisive person, after all, with his original growth environment, if he didn't have this ability, it would not be his turn to grow up, and he also joined the "Star Pirate Group".
Tom knew that the bottom of the Future was Frank's territory, and that it was a terrible place in the eyes of all sailors, and that going to the bottom to wipe the deck would inevitably lead to suspicion.
Therefore, after thinking about it for a while, he took the initiative to find the sailor who was on duty to clean the bottom layer today under the pretext of lack of money, and offered a price, as long as he gave himself 5 pounds, he would exchange tasks with the other party.
Things went very well, even if it was a "high price" of 5 pounds, the other party couldn't wait to pay directly, as if he was afraid that Tom would regret it.
Tom was a little puzzled by this, after all, although Master Frank's territory was very weird, it would cause discomfort to people at most, and it would not really be too dangerous.
Even when Miss Jane was still on the boat, everyone was eager to come across something unclean at Frank's place, so that they could have an excuse to go to Miss Jane's psychic house for treatment.
However, the moment he descended to the lowest cabin, he immediately understood why.
I heard only a cry mixed with fear and pain, but with some joy, constantly coming from the dark cabin:
"Devil! You devil!
"Give me back my magical items, I'm going to kill these abominable mushrooms!
"Don't come again...... When I say the desire to reproduce, I don't mean that!
"Did you hear that? Stop! You devil! ”
Tom was horrified, and then finished mopping the floor as fast as he could, and fled as if to leave the bottom of the floor, fearing that Frank would be left behind.
Running all the way back to the open deck, he breathed a sigh of relief and wiped a cold sweat from his forehead.
After a gust of sea breeze, Tom, who calmed down, found a corner where no one was around, clicked on the "light screen", and confirmed the reward of the task:
"Tom, congratulations on taking the first step in your life's counterattack and earning the quest reward - 'Apothecary' potion recipe shard A.
"The words 'jellyfish's poison' are vaguely written on the fragments."
Through the prompt on the "light screen", Tom learns that there are only four pieces of ABCD in Sequence 9, and that the complete recipe can be put together.
He clenched his fists excitedly and couldn't wait to start the second counterattack mission.
After a period of time, Tom tried his best to complete the mission, only to get the "Warrior" shard C......
Abner, who was hidden in his mind, laughed at this and thought: How can you put together a recipe so quickly? Although the future will require you to become an Extraordinary in the "Moon" pathway, testing the state of Sharf and Frank, there is no rush yet......
……
On Friday, in Plitz Harbor at night, elegant gas street lamps made of black metal emit light and illuminate the roads.
At this time, most of the ships have already entered the port, and silence is the main theme here.
On the top floor of a warehouse, surrounded by many wooden crates, three figures abruptly outlined out of the void: Sherlock Moriarty in a formal dress and top hat, Marich in a white shirt and black vest, and Sharon dressed in a court dress in a black soft hat.
With the help of the "teleportation", they arrived here directly from Beckland, at a considerable distance from the port where the ship carrying the mummy of Tutansis II was scheduled to dock.
With his right hand propped up, Klein stepped on the soles of his feet on the wooden post, jumped lightly onto the beam, and walked quickly to the wall as if he were walking on flat ground.
There is a small vent here.
He then took out the binoculars provided by Marić and looked at the dock described in the information.
The roofs of the buildings there were already occupied by soldiers with steam backpacks and rough-barreled rifles, patrolling back and forth, on guard, ready to shoot at anyone who dared to approach without permission, with only one warning.
In addition to these, there are several exaggerated robotic monsters parked around the docks, all made of metal, taller than the giants, with turnable tops, water-cooled machine guns, and vertical chimneys at the top, and grayish-white below, with bare rivets, nuts, and gears in many places, looking rugged.
In addition, the front of the machine had a thick barrel, and at the bottom were two rows of metal wheels, wrapped in rubber tracks.
It looks like a dwarven chariot in Warcraft...... Klein muttered, and then glanced at the temporary tower cranes and steel cables erected on the docks, judging that the military seemed to be creating the illusion that "although there is some vigilance, the level of vigilance is not high".
Is this a determination to strengthen the Rose School's indulgent faction?
Crane withdrew his gaze and tossed the telescope to Marić, who approached him, to observe the scene again.
- Before the official action, they all agreed that they should try not to use their extraordinary abilities as much as possible, and rely on non-occult creations to spy on their targets, so as not to arouse alarm, after all, the dock area is likely to lurk demigods and even angels.
Although they also have Miss "Courier" hiding in the spirit world on their side, and even Klein has a "History Projection" charm in his hand, which can pull Abner out to help at any time, Mr. "World" still has no idea of attacking it head-on...... After all, that doesn't fit the style of a "trickster".
When Sharon also understood the situation at the scene, Klein, who had avoided the wooden frame on the side, showed a seemingly relaxed smile and said:
"We don't need to get involved in the battle between the military and the indulgent factions of the Rose School, just wait for them to fight, and use the copper whistle in my hand to attract the mummy out and get its blood.
"No problem, right?"
"Nope." Sharon replied calmly, and Marić shook his head to say the same.
Just as Klein was assigning the task, Herwin Lambis, the "arrogant" controlled by Alvin, had also come to the vicinity of the warehouse and quietly dived into the subconscious sea of the three of them.
Although Klein's psychic island is guarded by dark powers, he can always stay awake when his subconscious or dreams are invaded......
But this time, in the face of Abner's temptation, the power of the goddess did not bring feedback to Klein.
