Mystery: Start with the Reader

The effect of digestion is so obvious... What is the difference between this "acting" and the previous ones?

After thinking about it for a while, Abner glanced at the two bulging envelopes on the coffee table, and had some associations in his mind:

Could it be because of the reward? Hmm...it's not that superficial, it should just be a superficial appearance!

I previously speculated that the core of "keeping knowledge" is to spread knowledge to those who urgently need it...and "knowledge" itself is also valuable, and the more people who need it pay for it, the more they will value it and will It is more fully utilized, and it will not be easily lost or cut off, which should be in line with the true meaning of "keeping knowledge".

Well, in essence, it is still a difference in the degree to which knowledge seekers value this knowledge. Mr. Macht is very worried about Miss Hazel's situation, so his urgency and determination to obtain information is unprecedented, and he is willing to pay a very high price to learn the truth. After that, he will definitely use this information to achieve his goals Purpose... This is probably the reason why the digestion has clearly progressed.

Thinking of this, Abner basically straightened out his thinking, but immediately he thought of another problem: that is, the information he told Mr. Macht was not perfect, and the core secrets were hardly revealed, but even so, it was still considered a success "playing"...

In other words, for those who seek knowledge, I may not necessarily need to tell him all the information he seeks... I should even have a choice!

After all, the knowledge of this world itself represents danger. If the knowledge that exceeds the upper limit of the person who seeks it is given, it may bring him danger and death... and once he dies or seals up the relevant knowledge due to fear, then, The acquired knowledge is meaningless and does not conform to the true meaning of "keeping knowledge".

But I’m afraid it won’t work if it’s less, because it will lead to a decline in the value of knowledge, and it will not be valued by those who seek it. Second, it may arouse doubts in those who seek knowledge, instead of practicing or using this knowledge...

In short, you have to grasp a degree! According to the old saying that I heard in my previous life, one must "know what is white and keep what is black", let those who are thirsty for knowledge know the knowledge he can bear, and the rest of the secrets obtained from exploration shall be carried by himself until there is someone who can bear this knowledge. Seek it, then spread it...

"It's no wonder that in the original book, 'Vice Admiral Iceberg' would first ask Gehrman about his education, knowledge, and mastery of occult knowledge before answering questions. The rules of playing in the same strain as the 'sequence'."

After Abner said something to himself, he believed intuitively that he should have summed up most of the "Guidelines for Playing the Guardian", and the remaining details are better. .

According to the digestion effect just now, daily acting combined with several explorations and notifications like this incident is enough for me to digest the 'Keeper of the Wisdom' potion within two or three months. , and if the client is enough to bear the relevant knowledge events, then the progress should be a little faster...

Thinking of this, Abner smiled self-deprecatingly... The secret is bigger? He was afraid that he would not be able to "keep" at that time!

Shake your head and throw away these unrealistic thoughts,

Abner took out the banknotes in the two envelopes, counted them carefully, and then analyzed and checked the authenticity with the "Pure White Eye". Then he nodded in satisfaction, and said to himself:

"It's a total of three hundred pounds. Mr. Macht is very willing to spend money for his daughter... And depending on what he means, when I actually invite Father Utravsky to his house as a guest, I'm afraid I will pay another sum Referral fee……"

After collecting the money, Abner looked at the sky and found that the sun was about to set, and it was already too late to go to the Harvest Church in the south area of ​​the bridge at this time.

Let's go tomorrow afternoon... Tomorrow is also the day when Judy and the others will meet with the "witch" Lina. I just go to hear the results of the meeting, and by the way, invite Father Utravsky on behalf of Councilor Macht.

Next, after a hasty dinner, Abner continued to "learn" the Sequence 6 ability analyzed by "Pure White Eye", until a gust of wind suddenly rose from his feet and brought him into midair .

Yes, the ability of the first Sequence 6 level learned by Abner belongs to the "flight" of the "Wind Blessed One".

...

On Sunday afternoon, wearing a "clown mask", Abner successfully slipped out of the office surrounded by many paparazzi reporters and took the subway all the way to Rose Street in the south area of ​​the bridge.

Pushing open the door of the church, Abner was surprised to see that Father Utravsky and Miss Hazel, who had a broken right arm, were sitting on chairs, one tall and one short, with their fingers intertwined. The palm is empty, and it is placed in front of the mouth and nose.

This is the exclusive prayer posture belonging to the Mother Earth Church.

Developed this young lady into a believer so quickly? She was not imprisoned underground... It seems that the pollution on her body is not serious, and it should have been cleared by the Mother Earth... Is it just to let her accept the punishment she deserves?

With that in mind, he found a random place to sit down, and after the prayer was over, he walked up to Father Utravsky and asked with a smile:

"Father, are Miss Judy and Mr. Karen back?"

Father Utravsky nodded gently, and said with a smile, "They've been back a long time ago, and they're in the room behind the hall."

"Then is it convenient for me to see them now?" Abner glanced at the closed door on the other side of the hall, and asked again.

"Go ahead, I think they need some insight from you too," said Father Utravsky with a smile.

Abner thanked the priest, nodded to Miss Hazel, and then walked to the other side of the church hall.

Hazel looked at Abner's back with a complex expression. She had heard the whole story from the "punisher" and "the desolate man" in the past two days, and she knew exactly how big a mistake she had made... Knowing that it was the detective in front of me who cut off one of her arms to save her life...

She bit her lip, made up her mind, followed Abner's footsteps in two or three steps, whispered "Thank you" before the other party could react, then quickly turned around and returned to the holy emblem, and resumed the prayer posture .

Abner was taken aback by her actions, and then he couldn't help laughing, thinking: It is not easy for this arrogant lady to say "thank you" to the person who cut off her arm... Has grown up?

...

At No. 14 Duckett Street, "Witch" Lina came to this temporary residence arranged for her by Prince Edsaac after meeting with the "Desolate Ones".

Feeling the strength refilling in her body, she who hadn't coughed for a long time since just now couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "In terms of 'healing' and 'healing', the Church of the Mother Earth is really powerful...that little girl The medicine they prepared is much better than the fat pharmacist on Lexton Street! It's a pity that they still don't trust me and refuse to remove the root cause of Ray's illness for me..."

However, as soon as Lina pushed open the door of her bedroom, she realized something was wrong, because in addition to the smell left by the original servants and maids, there was a strange smell in the room.

Lina took the "Claw of Ice" in her hand, felt it carefully, and soon found that there was a place in the corner of the room that was not very harmonious.

"After seeing me, my breath became a lot faster, and it didn't bring me a sense of danger. Didn't it come for me? Could it be that a thief entered?"

Just as Lina thought of this, the light and shadow in the corner flickered, and a figure emerged out of thin air. He looked at Lina in embarrassment, and under the playful gaze of the other party, he stammered: "Li... Ms. Lina, I ...I have no malice, I am here to give you something!"

"Send something?" Lina's heart moved, but she didn't relax her vigilance. She frowned and asked continuously, "Who are you? Who do you work for? What do you want to give me?"

"Ma'am, I... My name is Xiao Ke. I was a policeman... I met an old man in a dream, and he asked me to give you this necklace that can make people invisible..." Xiao Ke turned his gaze Quietly moved away from Lina's face, and then spoke a little more normally.

At the same time, he recalled in his heart the woman in the carriage that he met on the Duke's Avenue. The feeling she brought to him was very similar to the woman in front of him.

Hearing the old man appearing in the dream, Lina's eyes narrowed and sharpened suddenly. She asked urgently, "What else did the old gentleman say?"

"He said that although the ring he gave you last time made you 'lucky' enough to escape several times of pursuit, but after all, you couldn't escape the witch's induction... and this necklace can temporarily block the 'mark' she left on you .” Xiao Ke had heard these words many times in his dream, and now he said them without the slightest stagnation.

...

In the room behind the Harvest Church, the three of Abner and the "Desolate Man" met the ceremony, and just wanted to ask them about the result of their meeting with the witch today, when they heard Viscount Karen who was sitting opposite him say with a smile: "You I've already contacted you for the 'tree heart of the Elder Tree', it's worth 2,100 pounds!"

Abner was overjoyed when he heard the words, and didn't care about other things, but quickly calculated his family fortune:

I already had a net worth of around 800 pounds when I was in Davill, and I have sold a lot of spells and Extraordinary characteristics these days, plus the money I got from entrusting... Well, excluding the money spent on buying various materials this month He currently has about 1,500 pounds in cash.

The shortfall is £500... Where can I get this money?

Hmm... I remember Ridanitz clearly stated where he put his property when he gave his will... Do you want to borrow some first?
