Mystery: Start with the Reader

After thinking about it for a while, Abner still decided to follow the original plan, that is, follow the military team into the Pass Valley.

First, in the current form, it may be difficult to find guides other than the military or the "Rose School of Thought".

Secondly, if Xio's team is really in danger, he can still help in time...

As for the danger, he thought that his strength was by no means weaker than the pirate general, and with Edwina's assistance, he was not afraid of any opponent under the demigod.

Moreover, even if there is a demigod to make a move, he, who is backed by the "Tarot Club" and "Maze Tower of Destiny", is not without the means to resist for a while... And as long as he is free from the demigod's induction, he is sure to escape or hide.

Of course, if you are unlucky enough to meet an angel-level existence, you can only pray that the "Goddess of the Earth" or the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom" will really take care of you...

Abner never thought of giving up temporarily and coming back after the dust settled... In this world, no matter what you do, there are many dangers. If you want to obtain the main ingredient of the Sequence 5 potion, it is impossible not to take risks. If I gave up this time, will I also give up next time I encounter a similar situation? And he had a hunch that if he missed this opportunity, he would probably delay for a long time if he wanted to find the main material of the "Secret Arts Instructor" again...

After making a decision in his heart, Abner looked at Xio who was just full, and told her about his experience in the "Dream Labyrinth Tower". Since both of them signed a "contract" with Mr. Gaston, they had never communicated above the gray fog, so this was the first time Xio heard about it.

After listening to it, Xio took out the "Solomon Gold Coin" that Abner gave her to keep from her close pocket, and thoughtfully said: "Listening to your story, you seem to have encountered the "God of Luck" several times. Something happened... Even the manor given by the blood clan may have the remains of the "God of Luck"...

"Is this 'Solomon Gold Coin' also his legacy?"

Abner was taken aback when he heard the words. He really hadn't thought about this question. He had always thought that the gold coin was written by Will's "little snake". After all, he had reminded himself...

But now that I think about it, could this gold coin also be formed by some unlucky guy who picked up the "God of Luck" discharge characteristic?

I remember that the original analysis report stated that this item came from a Sequence 7 "Lucky One", whose Extraordinary characteristics eroded the gold coin of the Solomon Empire... and because "Lucky One" was killed by a punishment knight during his lifetime Killed, so there is a fear of the power of "Order", which can be "sealed" with the blood of the Extraordinary of the "Arbitrator" path.

Looking back now, the effect of this gold coin is actually far beyond the ability of the "lucky one", and it can even compete with the "luck" accumulated by the "winner" with extraordinary abilities in the hands of "witch" Lina...

What is even more interesting is that,

A Mere Sequence 7 Extraordinary item is actually qualified to have a "God of Mercury" show up to remind me not to use it outside of Backlund...

If this item is an arrangement of "little snake", then it would be understandable... But if not, there is something wrong with its origin itself!

what is this? Is there a relationship between me and the "God of Luck"?

After thinking about it carefully, Abner felt that it was better to find an opportunity to take this gold coin into the gray fog and hand it over to Mr. Fool to die... No, it would be better to investigate the origin, after all, Klein is the one who is responsible for this. expert".

However, I've forgotten it recently, I just handed over the "Crystal of Misfortune" to his "Familiars" to "investigate", and it's not appropriate to take out another one so soon, so I'd better wait, anyway, my main thing is now. The task is still to collect promotion materials and take the initiative to act as a "polymath". Other things can be put aside first.

Thinking so in his heart, Abner didn't continue this topic, after all, telling the truth would be disrespectful to Mister Fool.

After he asked Xio to collect the "Solomon Gold Coin", he turned to ask: "It's just a chance, do you want me to take you past the sixth floor of the 'Dream Labyrinth Tower'?"

Xio thought about it for a moment, then finally shook his head and said, "The time on the sixth floor is the same as the real time, so it will take a long time, and I have to return to the team tomorrow night, so I'm afraid I won't be able to make it in time."

Abner was not surprised by this, and just about to change the subject, Xio smiled and said: "However, taking advantage of the time now, it is possible to challenge the first three floors and exchange for a 'Spell of Escape'. "

"I also just want to 'swipe' some points." For this proposal, Abner followed suit, and the two soon stepped into the "Dream Gate" together.

...

Backlund, Hillston District, Cragg Club.

After helping Miss "Judgement" transfer the "Wind Blessed" trait to Mr. "The Hanged Man", Klein went straight to this place and just entered the hall when he saw the equestrian teacher Talim Dumont sitting in a secluded place. thinking about something.

Thinking of the believers he developed with "food" and the "witch" the believers followed, Klein moved closer and greeted with a smile:

"Good afternoon, Talim, you seem to have encountered a problem again?"

Talim woke up suddenly, shook his head and said:

"No, no."

Do you seem to have done something wrong? Klein muttered and sat down.

At this moment, Talim seemed to remember something, looked around and said:

"Sherlock, after hearing my mention of your deeds, a big man is very interested in you and wants to meet you, would you like to?

"Frankly, I'm really envious, this is a very rare opportunity."

Wait, what can I do? In addition to intercepting Lanwusi, killing the Extraordinary of the "Rose School of Thought", bombing Capin's house, and taking over the stronghold of the Aurora Order, all you may know is to help Mrs. Mary catch rape, accompany Mike The reporter went to the brothel, went to the East End to investigate the life of the poor... Well, at most, I can know that I have made some contributions in the serial murder case, and helped Dr. Allen solve the nightmare problem by providing consultation...

And, big shot? You mean Prince Edsaac, right? His problem was that even Lina, the somewhat mysterious witch, couldn't figure it out, and even desperately prayed to an evil god of unknown origin like "The Fool"...

Wait, it's not good to say that about yourself, it should be a mysterious and unfamiliar strong man like "The Fool".

Klein slandered a few words before deliberating and said:

"Talim, I'm sorry, as a detective, I have my own principles, which is to try not to get involved with things involving big people. Maybe it's just a small sneezing friction on the upper stage, which is likely to bring me unbearable disaster.

"I'm not going to label myself, so I'm not going to meet the big guy."

This is actually something that Klein had thought about before becoming a detective.

Once involved with the high society, it is easy to be investigated. Before he became a "faceless man", he didn't want to take such a risk. What's more, Prince Edsac was probably launched by the royal family to cooperate with the mysterious organization How could he dare to contact such a person because of his "sincerity"?

"...You are very sensible." Talim said in a deep voice, "The big man expected this kind of reaction and thought that such a detective is more trustworthy, so he hopes that you will accept a commission that will not involve high-class commissions. "

"What commission?" Klein asked.

Talim laughed and said:

"It's the Cappin incident you and Mike discussed last time. The big man is very interested in the organization that uses tarot cards as symbols. He said that this is not the only case like this, and he hopes you can find corresponding clues."

What? Is this asking me to check myself? Is Prince Edsack all right to do? Is this "arranged"? Who was "encouraged" by? Or did he really find it interesting to use tarot as a symbol of the organization?

Klein, who was full of question marks, was about to refuse, but Talim added with a smile:

"Sherlock, you don't need to take risks. The big man means to pay more attention and collect relevant information or rumors. Here is 10 pounds in cash, which is the activity fund he gave you. Even if you haven't gained any valuable news, Nor will you return it, and once you have a useful lead, he will pay you one by one and reimburse you for the entire process."

to reimburse? It's been a long time since I heard someone promise me such a thing... But the prince seems to be less generous than Miss Hazel...

Klein first slandered, then thought of it again:

But the other party's words have reached this level, if a private detective still refuses, it will look too suspicious... And it is obvious that investigating yourself should be in your own hands...

He hesitated for a few seconds, but did not reply immediately. Instead, he found an excuse and went to the bathroom, then walked four steps backwards to the ancient temple above the gray mist, and then sat in the seat belonging to "The Fool" and began to analyze carefully:

The "arrangement" is possible, the grand rogue "Dark Emperor" attacked Ince Zangwill with "bad luck", he probably already noticed it through "0-08"...and almost through the second half of last night's incident From the fact that there is no trace of blunt "arrangement", it can be seen that the effect of "bad luck" should be very successful, and Ince may have suffered a big loss... It is only normal for him to want to find the murderer who plotted against him.

And "encouragement" also makes sense. After all, from the conversation between Lina and Talim that night, it can be seen that the witch who was placed next to the prince by the Witch Sect was actually unwilling. The organization symbolized by Luo card was at odds with the royal family and several mysterious organizations, and she escaped in troubled waters... It's a pity that she made a mistake, that is, I didn't have the guts to confront it head-on. If it was her plan, it was doomed to fail .

As for being interested... Well, this possibility is not ruled out. After all, I don't know what kind of person Prince Edesak is... Well, it's okay to wait for Lina to set up a venue that can shield the investigation tonight. Speak with her as Rogue "Dark Emperor".

Thinking of this, Klein used the pendulum to perform divination again, and got the result of "no danger", and then returned to reality, returned to the hall, and politely accepted the ten £1 banknotes handed over by Talim. And intend to use a piece of specious news every week to "cheat" the reimbursement of funds.

...

Bayam, Aroma Manor.

In the evening, Abner, who had brought Xio's "liver" points for an afternoon, sent Xio back to Gurain City after having dinner with the other party. After all, although his manor is large, it is not suitable for entertaining people who should Xio in the Southern Continent, that might expose the existence of "Teleportation".

But Abner himself wasted another spell and returned to Bayam, and called Elaine, who had rested for nearly two days, to the underground workshop to "boil water".

He is going to turn the "interrogator" characteristic that Klein sent as a consulting fee into a magical item, and use it as one of the finale products for the re-opening of the Extraordinary Party at the "Scent Leaf Bar" tomorrow night.
