Mystery: Start with the Reader

After researching the so-called "privileges", Abner spent the little points remaining when he swiped "Get Out of the Charm" to place a sofa in the empty "Between Rewards", and then sat on it in a comfortable posture, and began to receive the fifth prize. Tier task rewards.

Soon, a roll of ancient parchment and a diary with a red cover appeared in his hands at the same time.

Abner first unfolded the roll of parchment with some expectation, and looked around. As expected, what was recorded on it was exactly the complete formula of the "Secret Master" he needed:

"Main material: a heart of an adult gemstone dragon, or a complete brain of a Finx male lion + a piece of five-color brilliant stone.

"Auxiliary materials: 10 ordinary leaves of the treant mentor, 80 ml of the blood of the Finx lion, one petal of each of the five kinds of dragon's blood five-color flowers, and 10 ml of Lunbao wisdom spring water.

"Ritual: Consume magical potion under the watchful eyes of an adult psychic dragon or under the 'comfort', 'shock' and 'hint' of an 'audience' path Extraordinary who is at least a 'dream walker'."

Five-color brilliant stone? I remember it was mentioned in a book I read before that it is an excellent material for arranging "guardian" ritual magic. Not to mention, the top of the Almir Palace in the Feysac Empire is inlaid with this kind of stone ...and there are several pieces, but unfortunately it is impossible to dismantle it...

But this is at least a clue.

Among the rest of the auxiliary materials, it shouldn't be difficult to get the ordinary leaves of the treant mentor, which are included in the list listed by the little "sun" before;

The blood of the Finx lion is the same as the brain of the Finx lion, I have to wait for the news from "Pale Admiral", I hope she can help me find it as soon as possible;

Although the dragon's blood five-color flower is expensive, it is a relatively common plant material in Lunburg, Masik, and Segal, and it appears in many trade fairs from time to time, so it is not difficult to get;

Lunburg Wisdom Spring is a very famous "attraction" in Lunburg University. It is rumored that a baby can be much smarter than his peers after drinking a sip of Wisdom Spring, which has led many young couples to take their children there...

Although this statement was frequently refuted by official newspapers, people still enjoy it.

In short, that thing is not too precious, whether it is through the teacher or Edwina's channel, it can be obtained.

Thinking of this, Abner turned his gaze to the ritual requirements under the parchment, thinking to himself:

Do you need the help of at least a 'spectator' path Extraordinary who is a 'dream walker' before you can take the potion?

Um,

At the stage of "Secret Technique Instructor", the core ability "analysis" can already point directly to the essence of extraordinary ability, so it is possible to develop "Secret Technique" based on this... In this process, once the scale is not well grasped, it is inevitable that you will touch the deep Spiritual pollution hidden in the identity, even the "primordial" divinity.

And the moment a "polymath" takes the "Secret Master" potion, there is a high probability that he will be passively "analyzed" the essence for the first time, unable to control, and will be eroded by the spiritual pollution in his characteristics...

The "appeasement" of high-sequence Beyonders in the "audience" pathway in the ceremony may be used here.

But why do we still need "shock and awe" and "suggestion"?

After thinking for a while, Abner, who still had no clue, decided to go to Miss Judy's mother after returning to the Northern Continent, and Ms. Closphia to ask...

As a demigod of the "spectator" pathway, she seems to have some understanding of the "reader" pathway, and maybe she has helped the "polymath" who wants to be promoted.

As for how to find her? Just ask where "Iron Man" has been haunting recently... Captain Dunn and that lady have done a lot of great things in the Loen Kingdom recently, so much so that he has a presence on this remote island. heard.

Putting down the parchment, Abner didn't think about another way in the ceremony under the watchful eye of the adult spiritual dragon, instead he picked up the diary with the red cover and read it carefully.

Ten minutes later, Abner closed the diary with a thoughtful look on his face.

This diary was written by a policeman named Basharov from Indo Port in the Feysac Empire, and it recorded all kinds of bizarre events he encountered during his more than 30 years of police career.

Some were solved by him assisting the special team, and some had no reliable statement when he retired, so he had to let it go.

Most of these cases just enriched Abner's knowledge, and only one case more than ten years ago caught his attention.

A fishing boat out to sea was caught in a sudden fog and did not return to port until a week later.

And the people on board were all crazy, and in their gibberish, they repeatedly mentioned seeing huge skeletons. It's just that some people say it's left over from the giant dragon, some insist that it's caused by sea monsters, and some people think it's their retribution for fishing too much.

After that, the special team went to the sea area where they were lost to investigate and talk, but found nothing, and finally closed the case hastily.

However, the day before Bashalov retired, he heard that a fisherman suddenly went crazy after returning from the sea. His rhetoric was very similar to the nonsense of the people on the boat more than ten years ago.

It's a pity that the fisherman was alone and had no relatives or friends, so he didn't pay attention. And Basharov didn't meddle in his own business in the face of retirement, but just recorded it in his diary.

"This is probably a clue to the 'complete demigod-level dragon skeleton'!"

...

Backlund, the underground meeting room of the Holy Wind Cathedral.

Kuhn, the former captain of the "Punisher" team, looked at Stuart in front of him and asked thoughtfully: "You mean, let me talk to McConaughey and send some reliable players to pretend to be you The 'instigator' caught back?

"Are you sure that someone in the church will really use this to criticize you?"

"I'm not sure...but I've reported the plan to the Holy Church and got the support of Archbishop Kael." Stewart said solemnly, "No matter what the 'Aurora Order' or the 'Secret Order' want to do, we must Let them feel that the plot has succeeded before they will take further action..."

"You passed His Excellency 'Singer of God' and reported directly to the Holy Church?" Kuhn looked at him in surprise.

"Your Excellency 'Singer of God' has been busy tracking down the mastermind behind the last assassination of Duke Negan, and I'm afraid he doesn't have time to be distracted by this trivial matter." Stuart said solemnly.

But "reporting" is a matter of "attitude"... Kuhn took a deep breath, and deeply felt that Stuart, as a Beyonder of the "reader" path, was even more reckless than his mentally polluted "ocean singer"...

"Well, I will support you... After all, this is the plan of the 'Secret Order'!" Kuhn became emotional again as he spoke.

After Stuart brushed "Pacify" for him casually, he said: "At that time, secretly investigate what the people who criticize me have in common, so as to find out the relationship between them and the 'Secret Order' or the 'Aurora Order'. What made the connection."

"You don't need to teach this, McConaughey and the others are all experienced 'punishers'." Kuhn waved his hand, and asked with concern, "Is there anything else that needs help? Be careful, girl, the enemy's I'm afraid it won't be weaker than you."

"I understand..." Stuart nodded, and then hesitantly said, "There is indeed one more thing I want your help with..."

"What's the matter?" Kuhn asked curiously.

"You have a lot of contacts in Backlund... Can you find a suitable and safe reason to ask my neighbor, Mrs. Felina, to move out of the current block..." Stuart asked in an awkward tone.

"Who is that?" Kuhn asked suspiciously.

"A young widow... But she has recently caused a lot of gossip because of some things, and her life is a bit difficult... I want to help her change the environment, and I don't want to be misunderstood by her." Stuart sighed.

"But what does this have to do with you?" Kuhn gave him a strange look, but shook his head again, and said, "Forget it, I won't ask...Since you opened your mouth, I'll help you once..." Will tell her your efforts implicitly.

"Thank you." Stuart heaved a sigh of relief, feeling that asking for it was more difficult than fighting wits with the "Secret Order".

On Thursday morning, in Viscount Greint's study, Audrey sat on a chair, stretched out her hand to help Susie tidy the hair on the back of her head, and said to Forsi, who was tasting Almere wine, and Sitting quietly next to her. Hugh said:

"I'm sorry, Fors... The Roselle manuscript in my hand has already been given to Emusia and Emma."

After joining the Tarot Club, Fors seems to have not changed much, she is still lazy and has no fighting spirit, but something hidden is completely different. Before, she would occasionally appear decadent and melancholy, as if she had nothing to do with the future Hope, and now, this aspect of performance has completely disappeared...

"Mind Reader" Audrey was complacent about her previous preparations, while calmly observing Miss Magician's state.

Hearing this, Forsi suddenly felt that the Almir she drank was tasteless, and felt that her plan had failed from the very beginning.

Sitting on the side, Hugh Dilza, who had fully grasped the state of mind of the other two Tarot Society members present, suddenly became playful when he saw this, and developed a little bit of evil in Abner's mouth, so he asked blankly:

"Miss Emma of Viscount Horatio?"

Audrey, who was still complacent, felt a sudden movement in her heart, feeling bad, and said tentatively, "That's right... Hugh, you also recognize her?" How come I haven't heard Emma mention it.

"Abner and her have a very good relationship..." Xio gave Audrey a meaningful look, then turned his head and said to Forsi, "You can ask Abner, he will definitely get you Those manuscripts are coming back."

Audrey was suddenly a little dumbfounded when she heard this, and relied on the ability of the "audience" to forcefully hold back the smile on her face without changing, and said to herself in her heart:

Can it still be like this? That hero detective has a close relationship with other girls, don't you have any worries at all? Do you want him to ask for the manuscript for you?

Speaking of which, what is the relationship between you and that heroic detective...why do I feel so confused...
