Mystery: Start with the Reader

In the south area of ​​the bridge, Harvest Church.

Abner and the witch "Lina" simply set up the contact information, and quickly evacuated the factory. Then, relying on the "water breathing" charm, he jumped directly into the Tussock River and drifted downstream to St. George's In the eastern suburbs outside the area, they went ashore and rushed to the nearest subway station, and took the subway to the south area of ​​the bridge.

As for Alex? He had almost guessed the whole picture of the matter from what he had eavesdropped before, and he could confirm it only after he had dealt with the witch and asked her for confirmation.

The church was still deserted, and even Roman, who lived here temporarily, was not in the front hall. There were only two giants praying devoutly to the holy emblem of the Mother Earth.

After listening to Abner's report of what happened to the factory in St. George's District, Captain Lech Arsenov frowned, and asked Bishop Utravsky next to him:

"Do you know the origin of Talim Dumont?"

Bishop Utravsky thought about it carefully for a while, and replied with some hesitation: "It seems to be an equestrian instructor from a declining noble family."

"Equestrian coach...then who is he working for?" Captain Arsenov asked again.

Bishop Utravsky shook his head to express his ignorance. At this time, Abner interjected beside him:

"This equestrian coach had found me before and prevented me from maliciously investigating a housekeeper's assistant...Due to his lax tone, he revealed the fact that he was working for a prince during this period."

"Prince? A malicious investigation of the butler's assistant? Hehe, I guess you are talking about His Royal Highness Prince Edesak." Bishop Utravsky said with a smile when he heard this.

"Father, do you also care about the kingdom's political news?" Abner asked with some surprise. He always felt that this favored person of Lilith was only thinking about praying and cultivating believers.

"Although I have been in Loen for a relatively short time, there are still some families of upper-class nobles who have converted to the Mother God." Bishop Utravsky replied gently.

Captain Arsenov said with some regret: "There is a prince protecting that witch, so we cannot take the most direct and effective action."

As expected of the Extraordinary who passed by the Twilight Giant, his mind was full of recklessness! After Abner secretly complained, he asked the giant captain, "What do you think about the Witch's request for a trade?"

"I agree in principle... After the meeting place is agreed,

Let Judy go with you. Hehe, if she can't cure the witch's problem, then I'm afraid only the saint can do it himself. "Captain Arsenov said after thinking for a moment.

At this time, Viscount Karen of the blood clan came out from the room behind the church. After greeting the three of them, he handed a rubbing book to Abner, and then said with a smile:

"The matter of the tree of the elders has not yet come to fruition...but you have received the advance payment. This is a mystical book written by a duke of our blood clan - "Blood Feast". There are many interesting records in it. Ritual magic and mystical stories...Of course, only the first half is given to you."

Abner happily accepted the book, but the first thought in his mind was...the props for arranging for Hugh to recite Mr. Fool's honorable name to go online.

...

Tingen, townhouse at 2 Daffodil Street, inside the restaurant of the Moretti family.

Looking at the plate with only a shallow soup base left, Benson raised his hand to cover his mouth and belched contentedly.

"Klein, your cooking skills seem to have made great progress again. I feel that the sweet and sour tomatoes, the elastic meat of the oxtail, and the very special umami taste are perfectly blended together. This taste is even better than what you cooked last time. Klein, although I have said this once before, I still want to reiterate: It is a pity that the Blackthorn Security Company has caused the city of Tingen to lose an outstanding chef."

Melissa hugged her distended stomach, silently nodding in agreement.

"It's just because you guys haven't seen the real cooking skills." While Klein was being modest and courteous to his brothers and sisters, he thought inwardly, "Maybe I can ask "Tower" and "Justice" to sacrifice some Backlund to me in the future. Food... well, "The Hanged Man" has been at sea all year round, and he has been to more places. The special food on Bayam, Pasu, Nas and other islands is said to be very good. What excuse should I ask them to give me? What about sacrifices?

However, even if you sacrifice it to me, you have to become a "clown" to take it down... I can't spend 10 pounds for a meal to hold a "gifting" ceremony...

Melissa saw that her brother was distracted, thinking that he was recalling the food in the restaurant, and immediately said: "I like your cooking better."

Benson chuckled, and then said: "Melissa, I heard that a senior teacher from Backlund recently came to your technical school?"

"Yes, that person's name is Copusti Reed, who teaches Ancient Feysac and is very popular with some students, but I don't like him very much..." Melissa whispered, with a somewhat depressed expression on her face .

"What happened?" The two brothers asked with concern when they noticed something was wrong with Melissa.

"It's nothing... It's just that I don't quite agree with some of his ideas, and I got into a fight with his crowd..." Melissa said in a low voice. One of the people she quarreled with was her former friend, and this was the main reason for her unhappiness.

Klein squeezed the space between his brows, quietly activated his Spirit Vision, looked at the color of his sister's aura, and found that there was nothing wrong, so he was relieved.

On the other side, Benson said with a serious expression: "I heard that this senior teacher came to Tingen only after being complained about in Backlund. It seems that he still needs a just complaint here...or return. Backlund."

"I can help you with this matter. As you all know, the Blackthorn Security Company has a certain relationship with the police station." Klein nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

"You...you don't need to do this." Melissa saw the two brothers express their concern for her in this way, the depression in her heart dissipated, and she felt warm all over her body.

...

Backlund East District, inside Abner's rented house.

Xio watched his friend take out the Solomon Empire gold coin with some embarrassment, and his face turned pale for no reason.

However, after pursing her lips, she still dripped her own blood on the front portrait of the gold coin.

Looking at the gold coin that only needs one drop, Hugh breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that the gold coin was sealed again, Abner took out another book with the words "Blood Feast" written on the cover and handed it to her, and said with a smile: "Your knowledge of occultism has always been lacking, so I specially brought this book to you... This book is written by a blood-born duke, and it contains a wealth of mystic knowledge..."
