Mystery: Start with the Reader

"As expected of being a detective, I thought we covered it up well..." Fanny restrained her enthusiasm at this moment, and echoed with feigned reserve.

Abner was not at all complacent about the flattery of the two ladies, after all, it wasn't his reasoning at all.

Thinking about it carefully, since I became a "detective", my reasoning seems to be cheating by relying on "prophet", "backtracking", "mind reading", "eavesdropping"...

But the progress of my potion digestion is not too slow... Is it possible that obtaining knowledge and information by any means is also one of the rules of the "keeper of the knowledge"?

While his thoughts were spinning, Abner did not answer their words, but asked with a smile:

"Do you still want to go to the room behind the stone gate to continue exploring?"

Miss Fanny was a little hesitant when she heard the words. At this point, she naturally didn't want to give up, but she was worried about the possible danger behind the door, and she didn't dare to make a decision easily. She subconsciously looked at Emma beside her.

While thinking, Miss Emma habitually wanted to stroke her long hair, but she didn't touch it after she stretched out her hand. Only then did she remember that she had tied her hair up before entering the ruins...

So she embarrassingly pretended to straighten the lace collar of her shirt under the surprised eyes of her friend and hero detective, and then asked Abner with a cough:

"Detective Bryan, as a 'cryptographer', I don't want to give up the exploration of the mysterious ruins... But Fanny and I have limited abilities and cannot protect ourselves... So, can you please protect us to complete this exploration Woolen cloth?"

Speaking of this, she was afraid that Abner would misunderstand that she was an insatiable and greedy person, and quickly added: "Of course, the items obtained from the exploration belong to you. After all, without your protection, I am afraid that Fanny and I have been killed by those people." The monster is killed... I just want to solve the mystery here... In addition, I will personally prepare a thank you gift for you afterwards to repay your life-saving grace."

Fanny nodded again and again after hearing this, and said in agreement: "I mean the same as Emma... Well, if there is a potion formula for the 'Barbarian' in the room below, I just want to be able to copy a copy... I don’t know if I can Can?"

After pretending to think about it, Abner said with a smile: "There is no need to thank you, maybe I will ask you for a little help... Just don't refuse."

In fact, according to the scene he "backtracked" through those monsters before, there should be no other danger behind the stone gate.

"What's the matter? As long as I can do it, I can do anything." Miss Fanny replied without hesitation.

Miss Emma next to her was a little helpless for her friend's straightforwardness. According to her heart, she would rather pay a large sum of money than help someone who didn't know what it was, so she had to bite the bullet and ask, "No Know Detective Blaine what you want me to do?"

"This is not a good place to talk about those topics. Let's talk about it later when we get back." Abner avoided talking about it at this moment. This is not because he is trying to be tricky, but because it is really out of date.

If he made his request on the spot, it might make people suspect that it was premeditated.

It is safer to let this requirement "precipitate".

Emma and Fanny obviously had no doubts about Abner's words. After all, they were in the ruins and could be in danger at any time, so it was indeed not a good time to communicate.

The three reached a tacit agreement, and then they came to the black stone gate together.

Then, Fanny manipulated a mechanical puppet that had run out of ammunition to cross the gap. After only two seconds, the three of them heard a burst of "clinking" and "clanging" noises...that was metal rolling down, The sound of hitting the ground.

Apparently, the other side of the stone door is a downward staircase, but this model of mechanical doll does not have the function of descending the stairs.

Fanny smiled awkwardly, then twisted a mechanical device worn on her ear, and said to the Abners: "I haven't found any danger for now..."

Abner nodded, rubbed the "Light Ring" ring with his finger, and opened the "Purification Halo", and then,

Circles of golden light enveloped himself and the two young ladies.

In this way, even if there are any ghosts, undead, or other dark creatures sneak attacking, there is no need to worry.

Thinking of this in his heart, Abner gestured to the two ladies behind him with his eyes, and walked into the stone gate first.

Feeling the courage and warmth brought by the "sun", Fanny and Emma glanced at each other, followed Abner's footsteps closely, and stepped into the gap between the stone gates.

The stairs behind the door are not long, with only about 100 steps and a height of about 15 meters.

The three of them came to the bottom of the stairs cautiously. With the help of the light brought by the halo, they looked up, but found that there were no magnificent sculptures, columns, nor murals or collections showing the glory of the owner.

The few pieces of furniture that were left were long since decayed, and much of it had been destroyed by Fanny's previous bombardment...

This is just an ordinary basement of less than 300 square meters...

The only thing that can be related to mystery is the torn coffin in the center of the room.

"This... a place like this is not worthy of that heavy stone gate! It's not even worthy of the hundred-step staircase!"

The sharp contrast made Miss Emma a little unacceptable, and she couldn't help complaining.

However, seeing the layout of the basement, Abner pinched his chin thoughtfully.

Although many details have been seriously damaged due to too long time, the general layout of this basement is obviously arranged according to a ritual in the "Book of the Necromancer"... although this is only a small part of that ritual. Just a small part.

This place was probably imitated according to the drawings left by the priest of the Fourth Epoch, but there must have been some accidents in the middle, so only such a small basement was dug...

"Detective Bryan, what do you think we should do now?" At this moment, Fanny's voice suddenly came to mind, interrupting his thinking.

She had learned a profound lesson before, so she didn't dare to search for things indiscriminately.

"Find and store the sealed item with the ability of 'The Briber' first... Otherwise, it is likely to continue to be affected by it when taking the item." Abner said after thinking about it.

Emma heard that she only glanced at the scattered items in the basement, and then turned her attention to the broken sarcophagus in the center. This is the "intuition" of the "cryptographer".

At this time, Abner had also analyzed the inside and outside of the sarcophagus through the "Pure White Eye", and couldn't help sighing: "The Baron 'Conwa' hundreds of years ago is really a powerful master of ritual magic, he He actually connected the sealed item of 'The Briber' with the entire ruins, not only used it to seal his own body, but also used it to deal with possible intruders... This idea is worth learning from."

Having said that, he went straight to the sarcophagus, and took out a dark chain armor glove from the bottom of the shattered sarcophagus.

"If the sarcophagus hadn't been destroyed and the ritual had lost most of its abilities, I wouldn't have succeeded so easily!"

At this moment, Miss Emma, ​​who was confused, couldn't help asking: "Seal yourself? Why did the baron seal himself?"
