Chapter 47: Miss Gwen Growing Up (Supplement)
Liberty City Andorra, in the luxurious rooms of the Four Seasons Hotel.
Miss Gwen, who is already close to 1.9 meters tall, is arranging the ceremony, reinforcing the "seal" on a silver straight sword with a one-eyed mouth at the top of the hilt.
This is the "Level 1" seal "Sword of Silver" that Abner lent her for self-defense, and she is only more than 1.8 meters tall
It can be picked up and used for more than two meters to exert its full strength.
Moreover, the one-eyed mouth at the top of the hilt of the sword is still a chattering "chatter", if the wielder does not respond to it, perhaps at a critical moment, "the sword of Xi Yin, will suddenly give up resistance, and even attack the master;
But if the wielder is willing to talk to the head statue, they will teeter on the edge of madness......
So Abner's advice to Miss Gwen was to use rituals to "seal" the human head that was clearly "alive".
Although this would definitely lose some of the power of this seal, since Miss Gwen was less than two meters tall, she would not be able to fully exert herself, so it didn't matter if she lost a little more.
As for the method of "sealing", it is naturally Abner's own arrangement, and for this reason, Miss Gwen also learned the honorific name of a "hidden" being:
"O Lord of the Revenant from Eternal Darkness;
"You are the Lord of the Necromancy, the King of Conqueration;
"You are the god of war and destruction."
Although she was instinctively afraid and wary of this apparently "true god" name, out of trust in Abner, she prayed to him after repeated hesitation, and succeeded in gaining the strength to support the "sealing ceremony".
Moreover, there was nothing else terrible going on, which somewhat relieved Miss Gwen.
In fact, it's Miss Gwen, a "wild" extraordinaire who is "self-taught" with some occult books
will make a similar decision...... In the case of Lydia and Tran, no matter how much they trusted Abner, they would never dare to establish contact with a hidden being of unknown origin.
After completing the ritual of reinforcing the "seal", Miss Gwen breathed a sigh of relief and put the sword back in its scabbard.
For Gwen, who is far away from the "Black Throne" and cannot use its power to "transform" into a ship's mother, this "
The Sword of Dawn is the greatest guarantee of her safety.
After packing up the ritual items in the room, Miss Gwen removed the "Spirit Wall" and opened the door to let Lydia and Tran, who were waiting outside, enter the room.
"Tran. Lydia, you're back...... How's it going?" After Miss Gwen poured them two cups of coffee! asked.
"I made a vague inquiry about the situation in the small town of Lancel...... The town has a long history, but it does have some problems......" Lydia took a sip of her coffee and continued in the language of the organization, "The inhabitants of this town are said to have adhered to some ancient ritual for thousands of years, praying for good weather and the change of seasons."
"In addition, it is said that the townspeople there have been forbidden since a long time ago, and they are completely subordinate to the mayor and other officials of the town, and have the characteristics of an 'army...... It's not like we've speculated before, and it's only recently been secretly overrun by a gang of Segar rebels.
"The reason for Joanna and Simon's disappearance in the small town of Lancel may be more complicated than we think."
"I can still understand the prayer for the wind and rain...... But why do we pray for the turn of the seasons? Isn't that the law of nature?" Miss Gwen asked, furrowed.
"I don't know ...... either," but according to the information of our bloodline, it seems that this part of Andorra worshipped an evil spirit called the 'God of the Four Seasons' long ago in the era of ignorance...... Maybe it's because of this?
"By the way, the reason why the hotel we are currently in is called 'Four Seasons', it seems to be due to this legend." Leigh
Dia put down her glass and said uncertainly.
"Well......" Miss Gwen nodded thoughtfully, then looked at Tran and asked softly, "You."
Where's the edge?"
"There were no missions or commissions in the tavern and bar about the town of Lancel...... Luckily, a lady was going to hire a mercenary to protect her to that town, so I snatched the commission." Tran recounts in detail what happened at the Chalk Tavern.
"Wouldn't it be too much of a coincidence?" After listening to Tlan's words, Lydia questioned, "Have you investigated that lady's background?"
The lady "naturally investigated...... she had a distinctly Rune style in her appearance and conversation, and she claimed to be an external professor of history at the University of Trier, and that she had visited the town of Lansel to study its folklore.
"In addition, she also brought a male assistant with an accent from the Intiste Toulon area, and her appearance and personality were typical of Intis.
"In short, they have nothing to do with Segal or Andorra......
As soon as Tran said this, Miss Gwen interrupted, "'Yes, but not as evidence...... You go investigate
Do they have a background?"
"Investigation...... "I used the means of 'wizards' to trace their trajectory before and after their entry into Andorra
, all of their formalities are complete, all passed through my's divination, confirmed, and there are no problems...... In addition, I asked the 'Courier' to inquire about Betty, who was left behind in Trier, and she also found information about the two men from the University of Trier, which was exactly what I had seen.
"So, I think their purpose may not be pure, but their identity must be true, after all, it can't be faked at all......
Tran swore by it.
What he didn't know was that it couldn't have been easier for Abner, a "wise angel," to manipulate "information" and create a false identity, and he had done it properly without even using the "Memory Theater", and he could even find many witnesses to prove that Furth was the youngest external professor at Trier University.
Of course, such a method is still far worse than the "consultation coverage" of the "Memory Theater", and it will leave many flaws, but it is not a big problem to hide from Tran and Gwen in a short time.
Sure enough, hearing that Tran had done a multi-level verification, Miss Gwen nodded in satisfaction, and then said thoughtfully:
"Since they are not directly related to the town of Lancel, we don't care what their purpose is, we just need to use their identities to enter the town and retrieve Simon and Josena.
"Well, if you can, keep the professor and her assistant safe."
After a pause, she asked, "Where do you meet, and when do you want to leave?"
"One o'clock in the afternoon, near the West Gate...... By the way, the professor was supposed to take a horse-drawn carriage, but because the water connected to a small pier near Lancel, they decided to take a boat at my suggestion...... This will greatly reduce the attacks of bandits and rebels, although we are not afraid." Tran replied truthfully.
"There's still more ...... an hour," Miss Gwen commanded Lydia, glancing at the clock, "Get the strike team."
The members finished their lunch as soon as possible, and we will meet in half an hour to the west of the city."
As a backup "pirate general", Miss Gwen's subordinates will no longer have only two extraordinary ones, Tran and Lydia, as before.
A wide river of sparkling rivers flows between the plains and the mountains, and large ships, either splendid or laden with goods, pass through the water gates in the east of the city towards the quays of Andorra la Vella.
On both sides of the river, there are many coolies gathering, shouting trumpets, dragging the ropes, and pulling the big ships to their destinations step by step.
In the cold wind that normal people would feel, these slender men are all naked, and there is a faint white vapor around their skin.
Andorra la Vella, although barely a port city with the Misty Sea to the west, is not close to the sea, which is why these ships need to swim upstream and dock at the river terminals.
Originally, a large part of the sea vessels were steam-powered, and there was no need for fiber at all, but the river engineering association and
The Federation of Tugboat Owners resolutely boycotted steam boats, and Andorra's city hall had no choice but to sign a decree prohibiting the use of steam engines when ships entered inland waterways.
"If I hadn't left home to become a mercenary, maybe I would have become one of them......" One of Gwen's commandos couldn't help but sigh when he saw this.
His name is Alex, a native of Andorra, and now a Sequence 9 "Hunter".
On the other side, Abner, who was accompanying Forthth and Miss Gwen, turned his head to look at Mr. Alex, and then nodded thoughtfully.
