Chapter 76: Leave Him Alone
Mrs. Scudder, as the housekeeper of No. 28 Kingster Street, had seen a lady of all shapes and sizes come to visit Abner in the past year and a half, so she was not very surprised by the visit of the "Queen of the Stars" Gardelia, who had a good look and temperament, but only slightly felt that the other party was a little familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere.
And Gardelia was just as puzzled, she didn't quite understand why Mr. Tower had invited her to meet at Abner's house.
Yes, Gardelia has not yet made any connection between Ta and Abner, after all, the former is erudite, powerful, personable, and a very charismatic gentleman.
And the latter is only at the level of sequence 6 at most in her impression, with a bad reputation, and she can cause trouble with her heart, which gives her a very bad impression.
Maybe Mr. Tower knew the Viscount Berdan and was friends with him, so he lived here all along?
Well, although I can't see through the full layout of this villa, I can vaguely feel that the level of protection here is very high, and it is a threat to me..... This is probably what Mr. "Tower" helped Viscount Berdan set up.
Speaking of which, I've heard Jane say that Abner calls himself a member of "knowledge", so Mr. "Tower" is the top of the "knowledge church"? And he does fit my understanding of a member of the "Church of Knowledge."
In the midst of a turn of thought, Gadelia took a sip of coffee from her cup, and gave a very high evaluation, believing that it was not inferior to what she had drunk at the queen's place.
At this time, she suddenly felt that the space was blocked, and then the handsome and erudite Mr. "Professor" in her eyes appeared in the living room with the "oily hair and noodles" Viscount Berdan.
Abner invited Gardelia to his home, in fact, because he needed some "core" ritual assistance in his villa when he took the opportunity of the other party's advancement to spy on the "Hidden Sage".
The rituals were so troublesome that Abner would have had to do it again for at least a week or two, so he simply called Gadelia to his house.
However, he did not plan to tell Gardelia that Ta and Abner were the same person, because he wanted to confuse them if the snooping was discovered by the Hidden Sage.
- The Hidden Sage knows Abner, but he doesn't know who the Tower is.
After a few brief greetings, seeing "Abner" enter the lounge next to him and actively avoid it, Gadelia looked at Mr. "Professor" and asked thoughtfully:
"Thank you for those notes that allowed my 'occultist' potion to be digested a few days ago..... When will you help me complete the ritual of Advanced Sequence 3?"
"It's going to take a few more days, I=still have some arrangements to finish." Abner replied with a smile.
This is true, and he does need a few more days to "parse" the rules and laws of the "derivation" of the parallel world, so that it will be easier to find the traces of the "hidden sage".
"So... It just so happens that I need a few days to do something." Gadelia nodded, then stood up.
The thing she said she was going to do was to go to the place where the queen lived to see if there were any clues, and if she couldn't contact the other party again, she would have to ask Mr. "Fool" for help.
"Since you're carrying a suitcase, you haven't found a place to live yet, have you? Do you want to live here in Abner? There are still a lot of empty rooms in his house." Abner tried to invite in the tone of a friend.
Gardelia shook her head and refused, "I have a place to stay in Beckland." As the "pillar" of the "Morse Ascetic", how can there be no residence in the capital of a country? .....
Sunia Sea, the capital of the Rorsted Islands, the "City of Generosity" Byam. The Blue Avenger docked in port in the evening.
While the sky was still a little bright, Alger got off the boat and headed straight for the Wave Chapel where Aquaman Ione Courtman was located. As a Sequence 5 "Sea Singer", he is already qualified to meet directly with the Cardinal of the Storm Church, the High Deacon of the "Substitute Punisher".
As he walked, Alger suddenly saw an acquaintance.
It was a middle-aged man in a formal suit, bow tie, glasses, and a rather sven look, but Alger knew very well that it was a "Poseidon" card
The followers of Vitois, once a pirate, are now black-and-white traders.
After a few "warm" conversations, Alger sighed deliberately and said, "I've been hired by the Storm Church."
His ostensible identity is that of a mercenary of the Church of the Storm.
Ralph's eyes narrowed slightly, and a little vigilance suddenly rose in his heart, and he laughed on the surface, "This is indeed a good thing, if there is no war."
Alger glanced at the place where Ralph had just come out, and asked:
"When are there more schools?"
At a glance, he could see that there were four floors of houses, a concrete playground, a garden lawn, and many children playing happily. The children were all darker-skinned, but some of them were not as close to bronze as the natives, and their hair was only a little naturally curly, not too noticeable.
There is no doubt that this part is a half-breed. Ralph looked back and smiled:
"Didn't you donate money to that charity fund of mine?
"Under God's guidance, I have set up schools in several major cities on the island to provide education, meals and boarding for these discriminated children.
"Our childhood wasn't bright enough, and I don't want them to be the same."
While Ralph responded, Alger kept staring at the school until the words fell, then he withdrew his gaze and said, "I thought you were going to take at least half of it."
Ralph laughed dumbly:
"Looks like I've made a bad impression on you." How's that, what do you think of this school?" Alger looked each other up and down for a while and said:
"Do you think I'm someone who went to school?" He paused and said:
"What's the street where your charitable foundation is?" I might have something to do with you later."
Thinking that the other party had been hired by the Storm Church, Ralph didn't dare to reveal that he still had ties to the rebels, and laughed, "It's okay to donate, but nothing else can be used."
After giving the address of the charity foundation, Alger squinted his eyes as he watched Ralph leave, and thought to himself, "Poseidon is one of the identities of Mr. Fool..... Has he decided to intervene in the affairs of the Indigenous Resistance?
"What is this for?"
After thinking for a moment, he looked at the four-story building with the playground and the flower lawn, and the mixed-race children studying in it, his expression softened a lot, and he sighed secretly, "No matter what Ralph has done, and what the purpose of that one is, it is a good thing for these children after all!"
On the other hand, Ralph made his way back to his home, went up to the second floor, and knocked on the door of a certain room: "Lord Daniz, I have something to report."
In the room, Daniz, who had just sacrificed a portion of grilled fish, responded in a deep and majestic voice, "Come in."
In the land of God's forsaken, Klein, who received the grilled fish, complained helplessly: "Don't tell me a pair of chopsticks, do you want me to grab and eat?" Daniz wasn't so careless before ....
"Looks like I'm going to have to ask Gelman to talk to him and remind him of his good habits."
After saying that, he reached forward and grabbed the chopsticks he used when he first went to sea and ate "Xuewang" from the hole in history.
After eating, he received new "information" from Daniz that a ghost captain named Alger might have seen through the plans being prepared by the rebels.
"The plan? What is the plan? How did I not know that the rebels still had plans?! Although Klein was confused, he still sent an oracle to Daniz as a "fool":
"Leave him alone."
