Mystery: Start with the Reader

There seemed to be a ray of light shining in the devoured soul, which came from the power of "Notarization", but this power was immediately absorbed by the "Magic Mirror" without causing any waves.

After all, there is an evil spirit sealed in the "magic mirror" that is an angel of the "sun" path. The binding force of the "notarization" on the soul in the middle sequence alone is not enough.

Soon, the mirror showed a scene of a young man with a mustache giving orders to the "arsonist":

"According to my information, Miss Fanny Surrey is just a Sequence 8 Beyonder of the 'Lawyer' path. Although she must be carrying many magical items, she will definitely not be your team's opponent.

"In addition, you hold this badge, which is the certificate for entering and exiting the Surrey family villa. By wearing it, you can not be identified as intruders by the ceremony there.

"Finally, the safety of Miss Fanny must be ensured. I also need to use her to make Mr. Surrey compromise."

The scene freezes here, and it is obvious that the "arsonist" only knows so much.

It seems that Mr. Surrey has been caught... Abner thought for a moment, pointed to the picture in the "Magic Mirror", and asked the somewhat stunned Fanny: "Fanny, do you know this person? "

Hearing this, Fanny finally came to her senses. She calmed down and told herself that her grandfather might be caught and there was still room for recovery. Then she carefully looked at the person shown in the mirror and said with some uncertainty:

"He seems to be the confidential secretary of the special envoy Mr. Owen... He is also the new bodyguard arranged for Mr. Owen after Mr. Tan De's death...

"I don't know what his name is, but my grandfather seemed to have mentioned... that he is a Sequence 6 'notary'."

Mr. Special Envoy’s confidential secretary? He seemed to want to force Mr. Surrey to admit something, so after imprisoning him, he sent people to arrest Fanny?

In this way, he must have at least a Sequence 5 level, or even a demigod's combat power by his side, otherwise it would be impossible to get the next "Astronomist" with luxurious equipment.

"Who is the special envoy Mr. Owen, and what level of strength is he?" Abner asked again.

Fanny recalled for a moment and said uncertainly: "I heard that Mr. Owen is the second son of the current patriarch of the Delien family. This family is currently one of the largest families in Intis. In terms of political influence alone, it even exceeds the former royal family. The Lun family.

“But it seems that Mr. Owen is not an extraordinary person, just an ordinary person.

"That's why the country deployed people to protect him."

The name of the Delien family seems a bit familiar... Abner thought about it for a moment and remembered the reason for the familiarity:

In the original book, the Emperor once mentioned a Viscount Delien in his diary. His wife, Julia, was a great beauty whom Roen married and was coveted by the Emperor...

After Abner traveled through time, he read about the history of Intis in the library and knew that the Delien family was the main force in overthrowing the Gustav dynasty and was supported by the Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun, so Only in the republic formed after the war would the influence of this family surpass that of Sauron, who had declined.

In addition, the current Prime Minister of Intis is named Delien.

Ordinary people... Abner was instinctively a little skeptical, but he could only stop thinking until there was no more evidence.

"Grandpa seems to be imprisoned...Abner, what should I do?" Although Fanny forced herself to calm down, she had no solution and could only ask Abner for help.

Abner said to Fanny solemnly: "You also saw the picture in the mirror... Being able to capture Mr. Surrey means that the other party has a high probability of fighting at the demigod level, so we have to leave here as soon as possible to avoid being captured together." Live...then there is really no hope."

Fanny obviously had great trust in Abner. She nodded without much hesitation: "You are right... He wants to use me to threaten my grandfather. Until he catches me, my grandfather should be safe..."

At this point, she paused and then asked for instructions: "Can I go get some belongings first?"

"Go back quickly, we'll set off in 5 minutes." Abner looked at his pocket watch and replied.

"Okay!" Fanny responded and ran to the second floor of the villa.

Abner took this time to put away the extraordinary characteristics of the other two intruders.

As for their bodies, Abner did not move them. He also wanted to wait for the servants to call the police after discovering them, so as to attract the attention of the authorities. By then, he might be able to force the confidential secretary to release Mr. Surrey... Although this chance It's very slim, after all, Loen's officials can't control the internal strife in Intis.

——Since the Surrey family extensively uses mechanical dolls to provide services, there are very few real human servants, and they generally do not come to the area where the master lives, so they have never seen Abner from beginning to end, and even official investigations cannot find it. On him.

About two minutes later, Fanny, who had changed from her long skirt into a hunting suit, walked down, carrying a not-so-good-looking backpack behind her.

Abner had seen the backpack in Baron Kangva's underground castle and knew that it was a space item. It didn't look big, but it might contain several powerful battle dolls.

She ran to Abner's side in a few steps and asked, "How do we leave?

"Sewer? After all, it's not easy to be traced there..."

Abner, however, waved his hand and interrupted before she finished speaking: "Don't bother me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a transparent and blurry book quickly appeared in front of him, accompanied by a distant and ethereal chant:

"I come, I see, I record."

The book flipped quickly and stopped at one of the pages, which immediately glowed with light blue and illusory light.

Before the light enveloped him, Abner took Fanny's hand, and then the two of them disappeared without a trace.

This is the "teleportation" ability recorded by the "Recorder" of Magic Mirror Herding.

…

In the North District, in a rental house not far from the Nighthawks headquarters, Leonard, wearing red gloves, would throw up and catch a small badge, and then let it fall on the table in front of him several times.

The badge was only about the size of an eyeball, with symbols symbolizing "destiny" and "hiddenness" on the surface. On the back was the ancient Hermes inscription "You can join if you hold this," and provided the latest party information:

"January 4, 1350, 8 o'clock in the evening, Babur Valley."

"Old man, is this party really okay?" Leonard looked at the badge again and couldn't help but ask.

"At least there was no problem last time. Amon didn't get involved." Pales's old voice sounded in Leonard's ears.

"But..." Leonard wanted to say something else, but at this moment, a cold feeling came, and there was something more in his hand.

It was a letter sent by a courier from a colleague.

Leonard unfolded it, looked at it, and muttered:

"Here comes another mission...West District, Green Park Street...

"There is a powerful ritual arranged in that house, so red gloves are needed to decipher it?

"But the house of the Attaché of the Intis Embassy... Why do we need our Nighthawks to crack it? Why don't we just go to him directly? What is the captain doing..."

Although in the northwest area of ​​Backlund, the West District and the North District are managed by the "Nighthawks", they have rarely intervened in such obviously special cases before.

With doubts, Leonard straightened his clothes and headed straight to the West End.

With the old man here, he is the most professional in cracking the ceremony!

…

In Pulitzer Port, after Klein secretly glanced at the old Kohler who was helping Maric with the child, he did not show up to meet him, and instead came to the port ticketing company.

Here, after listening to a bronze-skinned middle-aged guard's warning about "canned wolf fish", he asked him about the "White Onyx".

The guard immediately smiled when he heard this:

"Sir, you have a good vision. The White Onyx is a steam ship, but it retains sails and can reach a maximum speed of 16 knots.

"And the captain is experienced. He was once the boatswain of the Royal Navy William V. No, it should be the Royal Navy. The king has always claimed that he got the crown of Balam, so he should have the title of emperor... Oh, in the Royal Navy, No matter how outstanding an ordinary person is, they can only become a boatswain and cannot serve as an officer, unless, unless you can satisfy your commander, no matter how, in any way! Only in this way can you be recommended to the general Leeds Naval Academy, become an officer in the Reserves!

"This is how Ireland was forced to leave the Navy...

"The same goes for Alanson, the captain of the Wancheng Glory... But I recently heard that he seemed to have disappeared, which caused the ship to have to dock in Damir and has not been able to return."

Seeing the guard speaking in such detail, Klein couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.

Noticing his expression, the guard smiled and said:

"Ellan used to be my boss. He would often treat me to drinks, and Alanson is my friend. I hope that as an adventurer, you can pay attention to his whereabouts... Although it is a bit selfish, I promise that everything I say will Every word is true!"

"I'll pay attention..." Klein nodded and replied coldly.

However, he was thinking about another thing revealed in the other party's words:

The king has been claiming that he obtained the legal title of emperor from the Balam Empire?

Is this "claim" just to facilitate colonization?

…

Backlund, in the villa at No. 28 Jinster Street, Jowood District.

As the light blue light flashed, Abner and Fanny appeared directly in the living room.

Letting go of Fanny's hand, the pure whiteness in Abner's eyes gradually receded.

He had just used his "Analysis" ability to analyze the principle of "Teleportation" while simulating his "Recording" ability to record the "Teleportation".

"It's a pity that the simulated 'record' is not as good as the original version, and the transmission effect of the record has been reduced again... The distance of such a transmission is probably less than 20 kilometers...

"But it works anyway. It's enough as a means of escape."

With this in mind, Abner called Mrs. Scudder and asked her to arrange a guest room for Fanny, while he went to Elaine's room on the second floor and handed the built camera to her.

On the other side, Mrs. Scudder was already used to the girl suddenly appearing in the villa, not to mention that she knew Miss Fanny.

But after leading her to the guest room, she heard the young lady ask in confusion:

"Who is Elaine?"
