Mystery: Start with the Reader

"Hmm... I once had some speculation about the items that the Elf King gave to the Queen of Disaster to take to the Western Continent.

"If it is true, as I think, that the Elf King is actually a 'back-up' prepared by a certain source of matter, then that 'thing' is probably related to the 'source of matter'...

"No wonder Lilith takes it seriously!

"Where will Russell hide Cosinnam? There is no clue at all...

"However, Goshinam's soul has actually been divided into two parts. One part was originally hidden in the "Book of Natural Disasters" and was taken away by Russell along with the 'things' in it;

"The other part of Coshinam in the golden wine cup probably sensed something was wrong and took the initiative to cut off contact and hide...

"And now I hold both the "Book of Natural Disasters" and the "Golden Goblet" in my hands. No matter which part I encounter, the probability of encountering it is not low... As long as I find one, the other should not be difficult...

"Finally... Russell was able to know about the Book of Natural Disasters. It was probably the 'Seal of Disaster' who took the initiative to reveal it to him... I wonder what that old and cunning 'conspirator' is planning!"

"If you think about it carefully, all the things I have encountered in the past six months are inseparable from the guy who traveled through time and became a 'sealed object'!"

Thinking of this, Abner "cursed" the "Seal of Disaster" in a low voice, and then thought about the first task assigned by Lilith:

"If you want to figure out the secrets hidden in the Delien family, there are roughly two directions...

“The first is to use the ‘Black Knight’ Cello Delion, whose body and destiny were taken away by the former pope of the ‘Eternal Sun Church’, to let him snoop from the inside.

"Second, they are constantly suppressing the family from the outside, forcing them to show something they have never revealed before...

"Well, internally speaking, Cello Delien can only represent people from the Prime Minister's line, and may not be able to detect the deepest secrets... After all, the Delien family also has the most mysterious patriarch who takes the 'Hunter' path. Tie.

"It is not easy to grasp the degree of suppression simply from the outside...

"Therefore, it is more secure to arrange the inside and outside together."

After making preliminary calculations in his mind, Abner looked back at Lilith, who was looking at him with a smile, and nodded in agreement with her mission.

However, Abner seemed to agree after careful consideration, but in fact he never thought of refusing in the first place.

No matter how gentle Lilith was towards him, she was still a god, and Abner had no guts to refuse the decree of a god. .

What's more, he didn't want to refuse just the gifts Lilith had given him before.

"Very good... But you are not without support in Intis... Helen is currently in Trier. If anything happens, you can always come to her.

"In addition, if necessary, I can send some manpower to you later.

After Lilith finished speaking, she stretched out her finger and pointed on the forehead of the demon wolf, extracted some spiritual energy from it, and put it into a "contract" that she took out from nowhere.

Then, she handed the "contract" to Abner.

I won’t go into details about the process of contracting this ghost demon wolf, in short it was very smooth.

As Lilith said, after it was transformed into an undead, it lost most of its memory, and its intelligence also regressed a lot. It is only a little smarter than the beast. At this moment, it is completely dominated by Lilith and will not have any orders from her. question.

Abner suspected that this might be a habit he picked up while dawdling under Salinger.

Looking at the eight-legged head, the ghost that looked like a husky ran to his feet with its tongue sticking out, and lowered its head to sniff... Abner felt a little subtle in his heart, but he quickly suppressed something that could be called " With the thought of "blasphemy", he completed the last step of the "contract" and temporarily sent the demon wolf back to the spirit world.

"Abigail..." Abner also knew its name after the contract was completed.

At this time, Lilith once again stretched out her white palm and swiped forward, and the "Summoning Door" formed by the blood-colored light patterns came again.

Next, with the swirling gale and the vibration of natural forces, the illusory door covered with mysterious blood patterns suddenly opened, and extraordinary characteristics flew out from it.

"Mind Reader", "Sun Priest", "Bribery", "Pain Witch", "Secret Master", "Guardian", "Reaper", and "Black Knight"...

After these characteristics, the dented metal wine bottle also flew out.

Lilith took the characteristics one by one in her hand, patiently packed them into different vessels, and sealed them before placing them in a suitcase and handing them to Abner.

Then, she picked up the metal jug and introduced with a smile: "This item still maintains most of its previous abilities, but the drink with each ability is only effective once, and it is gone after use.

“When the effects of all the extraordinary abilities in it are exhausted, it will become an ordinary wine flask.

"What's better than before is that the effects and side effects of the wine generated each time can be 'identified'. If you don't like it, you can throw it away."

This is much more applicable than before. After all, it is not a complete "blind box", and the risk is controllable... Abner took the flask and felt that the wine inside could be used as both a "strengthening liquid" and "Poison" is used.

After all, when the side effect is "giving birth to a baby", tricking the enemy into drinking it may directly cause the opponent to "degrade".

…

East Chester County, at the estate of the Hall family.

Audrey sat in front of the dressing table and lit a candle.

Then, she looked at herself in the mirror through the flickering firelight and gave a simple "psychological suggestion."

She is ready to explore the idea of ​​​​her own dreams to see if she can use it to enter the subconscious sea and spiritual sky of all living beings.

This is an attempt that other "psychiatrists" have never thought of. At least there is no similar thing in the reference experience provided by "Psychological Alchemy Society" - hint to yourself and explore your own dreams.

Fortunately, Audrey succeeded in just one attempt. She entered her lucid dream, saw the spiritual sky, and discovered psychological problems that she had not noticed before.

Just as she entered the collective subconscious sea and walked through the dreams of one person after another, a cave made of crystals of various colors suddenly appeared in front of her.

Whose dream is this? How fantasy? Audrey looked at it curiously and walked into it.

Soon, a lady wearing an exquisite and complicated dress appeared in front of her.

The lady's expression was slightly dull, and she just stared in the direction of the entrance of the cave in a daze. She didn't even seem to notice that there was an outsider intruding.

Audrey looked at her carefully and found that her face seemed to be separated by a layer of mist and looked extremely blurry. She could only judge from her shiny black hair and the soft contours of her cheeks that she must be good-looking.

Her face is blurred... It means there is something wrong with her understanding of herself... Is it amnesia? Or is it a syndrome of the elderly?

When Audrey was looking and thinking, the woman seemed to have finally noticed her and suddenly looked over.

The woman's height was almost the same as Audrey's, but the latter still felt a sense of oppression from the superior.

But the sense of oppression quickly disappeared, and the woman fell into a state of confusion again.

"I'm sorry to bother you...but maybe I can help you with something." Audrey thought for a while and said cautiously.

"Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?" The woman looked over again and asked her confusion directly.

Ah... I'm not sure... Audrey smiled awkwardly, but based on this scene, she still had some guesses and tentatively said: "Maybe you are waiting for someone?"

The black-haired woman was silent for a while, then uttered a word in ancient Elf language:

"Lucky!"
