Mystery: Start with the Reader

At five o'clock in the afternoon, in the townhouse at 2 Daffodil Street, Tingen.

Klein, who had already become a "clown" during the day, looked at the ceremony arranged on the table, and whispered in the giant language:

"I!"

After a slight pause, he changed to Hermes and said:

"I call in my name:"

"The fool who does not belong to this era, the mysterious master above the gray mist, the king of yellow and black who is in charge of good luck."

Immediately afterwards, he took four steps backwards to the gray mist, and soon heard the summoning mantra he had just recited, and saw the fusion of surging spirituality and rippling light lines stretching out an illusory door.

He allowed himself to be sucked into it by the suction of the "gate", and then descended into the real world in the form of a special spirit body.

"It's really possible... The summoning ceremony in "Blood Feast" seems to be tailor-made for me..."

Klein sighed with emotion, and then tried to control his spirit body to fly around in midair before controlling his emotions, stopped, and floated in midair.

Then he tried to grab the charms and ordinary banknotes he made, then ended the summoning and returned above the gray mist.

"It actually succeeded! This means that I don't need the rituals of 'sacrifice' and 'gifting' to put or take out items on the gray mist...

"Tarot Club members shouldn't need such expensive auxiliary materials to open the 'Gate of Summoning' when they make transactions in the future... But there is no need to inform them about such things, and the expensive materials are more helpful for them to understand the 'Summoning Gate'." Mister Fool, stay in awe,"

Looking at the money and the spell in his hand, Klein thought to himself.

Then, after trying other uses of the special spirit body, Klein, who was a little tired, was about to "return" to reality when he suddenly saw the crimson star that symbolized the "sun" continuously expand and contract.

...

In the garden villa at No. 28 Kingston Street, Jorwood District, Abner was sitting at his desk, reading relevant materials on how to obtain admission qualifications for the Royal Library.

Since the way of disguising and entrusting is not going to work, then simply change the way of thinking and get the qualification by yourself.

"The rest of the annual fees and donations are easy to talk about, but it is more troublesome to need a guarantee from a real noble or noble heir...

"If something happens,

The nobles who guaranty are jointly and severally responsible, unless they know the basics, they are unlikely to take such a big risk easily... especially for someone like me who came to the door on my own initiative.

"Maybe those declining nobles will give guarantees for money, but the price may not be low. You have to be prepared to be knocked down a lot of money... and Mr. Fool will not reimburse me."

Just as Abner thought of this, suddenly, he saw the boundless gray fog, and saw a vague tall figure in a prayer posture in an empty room.

Immediately afterwards, words passed into his ears:

"...Please tell Mister 'Tower' that I have found someone who is willing to sell the 'Thousand Art Phantom Crystal', and he hopes to use this to exchange for a powerful armor at the 6th level of Sequence or similar Extraordinary items that can protect himself, um , it is best to use it stably for more than two years..."

This is the "sun", right? His efficiency is quite high, and he contacted the seller in just over a day? Extraordinary items that can be sequenced to level 6 are not easy to buy, not to mention so many conditions attached...

Thinking of this in his heart, Abner also buried his head "respectfully" and recited the honorable name of Mister Fool:

"...Please tell Mister 'Sun' and ask him to stabilize the seller for a few days, and I will find a suitable Extraordinary item as soon as possible."

After explaining the matter of asking the "Sun" for help, Abner took the initiative to mention the results of his investigation this day, and asked Mister Fool if it was necessary to find out which earl framed and kept suppressing Baron Ramud. Find out.

Soon, he got an affirmative answer.

After finishing all this, Abner has completely discarded the idea of ​​buying the fallen nobles to guarantee him. The gold pounds in his hand are not too much, so they cannot be wasted on meaningless things.

As for the Sequence 6 self-defense items needed by the seller in the City of Silver, Abner is going to look for them in various secret gatherings in Backlund first. "Sword of Dawn" to "sacrifice" the past.

The "Sword of Dawn" seems to be an extraordinary weapon, but it can also condense the "Dawn Armor" at the level of Sequence 6 to protect the user-although it is very likely to completely turn the user into an armor, it can be regarded as an offensive and defensive weapon. It's a sharp weapon.

However, even if the "Sword of Dawn" has serious negative effects, its value is much higher than that of "Crystal of Thousand Art Phantom".

...

Above the gray mist, Klein, after listening to the report from the "tower", knocked on the long bronze table habitually. It took him a while to make up his mind, and then he simulated the feeling of "falling" and "returned" to the bedroom. After tidying up a bit, I went downstairs.

Melissa, who was busy in the kitchen, poked her head out to see Klein, and said with bright eyes:

"I've bought vegetables, chicken, potatoes, onions, meat and fish, turnips and peas, and I've bought a small pot of honey."

Sister, are you used to the occasional little "luxury"? Klein laughed lowly and said:

"You have to prepare dinner today, don't worry about my share, I have something to go out, maybe I have to come back in the early morning, um, do a favor for Teacher Azik, a teacher in the History Department of Hoy University."

Melissa opened and closed her lips twice, then pursed her lips again and said:

"OK."

After saying goodbye to his sister, Klein stopped a carriage at the door and rushed to Mr. Azik's house.

More than two hours later, Klein led Mr. Ards on the road to the abandoned castle.

...

At twelve o'clock in the night, Abner, who was about to fall asleep, suddenly heard the sound of glass being knocked. He looked back, only to find a petite figure crouching outside the window on the third floor at the moment. Xio has messy shoulder-length yellow hair.

Abner hurriedly opened the window to let her in, and asked in surprise, "Why did you come here at this hour? Also, why didn't you knock on the door?"

"It's too strange to visit at this time... It's better to come to you directly through the window, which can avoid a lot of trouble." Xio pursed her lips and said solemnly.

You are in my room in the middle of the night, if someone finds out, wouldn't it be more troublesome?

Abner complained in his heart, but on the surface he asked curiously, "What's the matter with you coming here so late?"

"I want to perform another 'exorcism' ritual..." Xio said bluntly, but his expression was slightly unnatural.

"'Exorcism' ceremony? Why, did you dream about that 'Fool' again?" Abner asked while turning on his spiritual vision, only to find that the color of Xio's aura was indeed dyed a little dark Although the breath is not strong, it can only make ordinary people seriously ill.

A sign of being haunted by ghosts and resentful spirits... Abner calmly made a judgment and asked directly:

"Where did you go?"

Xio sighed, and replied: "After I became an 'Interrogator', I was assigned a new task by the 'Golden Mask' boss...to go to the SI9 dungeon to interrogate some prisoners..."

The SI9 dungeon...is really not a good place...

"Going to such a place, they didn't prepare you with protective rituals or items?" Abner asked strangely.

Xio shook his head and said, "Because I'm not a regular employee..."

Abner knew it well, so he didn't ask any more questions, but arranged a ceremony and began to "exorcise evil spirits" for Hugh.

At the same time, I thought amusedly in my heart: Mister Fool probably will be able to watch a "live broadcast" again... Although the "Necronomicon" is not easy to "sacrifice" to him directly, but through my relaying some related rituals and magic. It's no problem... It just happens to teach Xio some tricks so that she won't be troubled by the undead in the future...

Well, after the exorcism is over, I'll go to the kitchen and get some snacks.

...

After a busy midnight, Klein, who finally gained Mr. Azik's sincere friendship and became an "ally" with him, returned to No. 2 Narcissus Street tired, sleepy and hungry.

Not long after he entered the room, he felt a warmth on the back of his hand.
