Mystery: Start with the Reader

In the deepest palace of Daniel's Labyrinth, Abner, standing on the second-floor platform, closed the "Pure White Eye".

The "Roselle" who just appeared in front of his eyes was naturally not the "fellow townsman" himself, but just an "illusion" left by the other party at the core of the "ban".

Or to be more precise, it is a "video".

A "video" that "shoots" when the other party "distorts" and "tampers" part of the banning effect.

In the "Video", Roselle casually modified the effect of the ban, while saying the following passage:

"I changed the 'rules' of this palace according to the agreement with you, so that the 'boat ticket' can only be obtained by the person who holds the 'key' to break the ban, and the rest of the people who are traveling can only find the rest of the treasures placed here .

"This can be regarded as repayment for the method of separating pollution that you told me...Thanks to you, I can now realize that I have problems for a little longer...but I still can't get rid of him.

"And a new problem started to bother me...that is, I don't even know if I am normal or abnormal at this time...

"Hey, I'm sorry that you said goodbye without saying goodbye...but you're right, everything changed after going to the moon...

"Forget it, let's not talk about it. In addition, I recorded this passage because I thought you would definitely see it, so please allow me to say 'thank you' and... 'sorry' to you here."

Thinking back to the video that appeared in front of him, Abner fell into deep thought:

"Who is the emperor talking to? It sounds like a good friend...

"Not only did this person provide him with a method of 'separating' the pollution, he might also have persuaded him not to go to the moon... It's a pity Roselle didn't listen...

"And Roselle believed that that person would read this message... plus the 'rules' he gave to the lion before...

"It can be surmised that he meant either me, or the Lion, or Jane!

"First of all, the lion is unlikely...Although it can be regarded as Russell's pet and friend, it was raised by Russell in the valley, and it was not Russell who left voluntarily, so it can be ruled out.

"As for Jane, what is special about her is that she is another descendant of Death God, the descendant of the 'Death Consul'.

"Rosell went to that tomb in person, maybe it was at that time that he got in touch with him...

"Well, that person may not be dead, maybe there is still a plan on Jane's body, so Roselle said he can see the message, is it because he is sure that Jane will come?

"The only problem is that I was the one who actually saw the message... How can Roselle be sure that I will pass it on to Jane?

"Finally, it's me... Judging from the previous lion's question, Roselle had judged early on that there would be a 'citizen' coming. This may be the prophecy of the 'Knowledge Emperor'...

"But it is also possible that my time travel was within his expectations... If this assumption is true, then the most reasonable inference is that it is not the first time that the 'Pure White Eye' has brought a time traveler to this world Yes, and Roselle knew the previous owner of the 'Pure White Eye'!

"This explains why that person was able to warn Russell of the dangers of going to the moon...

"Of course, this is just speculation, without any evidence...so, the latter two speculations may be true.

"In fact, I think the speculation about Jane's life experience is more likely.

"After all, since I am now the owner of the 'Pure White Eye', it means that the previous owner may have died not long after leaving Roselle, and this is why I have traveled through...

"While holding such a powerful 'Gold Finger', he died so silently... I don't think it's possible.

"Wouldn't every traverser be as useless as the 'biologist' or 'druid' who cultivated the 'plant' in a casual game, right?

"Speaking of which, several days have passed, and we don't know if Weaver has found any clues."

Thinking of this, Abner shook his head, throwing away the messy thoughts in his mind,

Turn to think about the things in front of you:

"Roselle said that only the person holding the 'key', perhaps the sealed item '1025', can get the 'ship ticket' after unlocking the 'ban'...

"It seems that I have to find a way to get it...

"As an official member of the military, Xio has to hand in 80% of the 'ship ticket' even if he gets it.

"Edwina's appearance is too obvious. If she grabs the 'boat ticket', she will definitely be besieged and killed by the Loen military in the future. Even if she relies on the Church of Knowledge, she may not be able to protect herself... the gain outweighs the loss.

"Jane's identity is not difficult to find out, even if she keeps a low profile, she is still a cadre on the 'Future'... Moreover, she has already taken the 'Profane Card' this trip, so it is not suitable to take it again Take the 'boat ticket'...Maybe Edwina and I don't care about it, but the two treasures of the 'Judger' pathway are only combined, and she may not be able to return to the Queen of Mysteries safely.

"As for the lion, it is a good choice as a 'lion', but I don't know it well, why should I give it up?

"To sum up, it's safest for me, the 'Doctor Strange' who appeared out of nowhere to fight for it."

While Abner was thinking, Jane and Edwina stepped forward together, and the former asked curiously, "Do you have any clues?"

"Yes... I got some news from Emperor Roselle." Abner came back to his senses, thought for a while and decided to tell the truth. After all, he can trust both Jane and Edwina. people.

"Emperor Roselle... What message did he leave behind?" Jane's eyes widened immediately upon hearing this.

During this trip to the Southern Continent, the task entrusted to her by the Queen of Mysteries was not only to retrieve the "playing cards", but also to collect as many clues as possible left by the Great Emperor.

Although she didn't know the exact relationship between the Queen and Roselle, it could be seen from the tasks assigned by the other party that the Queen cared very much about the man who was famous in the world more than a hundred years ago.

Beside Jane, Edwina's light blue eyes also brightened up. She always has a strong desire to know some secrets.

As for the lion Leon, although he looked careless on the surface, his ears quietly stood up.

Abner had a panoramic view of their expressions, and after whetting his appetite, he recounted Russell's words in a more polished manner.

In a sense, this can be regarded as a performance of a "polymath", so it must be more solemn.

"Pollution...was the emperor polluted in his later years?" Edwina recalled that some manuscripts left by her great-grandfather mentioned that the emperor's temperament had changed abruptly, showing a thoughtful look.

But Jane didn't think much about it, she just memorized those words firmly, and planned to relay them to the Queen of Mysteries in detail when she went back.

Lion Leon, on the other hand, looked at Abner meaningfully, and said in his heart: You really are the one arranged by the 'Seal of Disaster'... No wonder you can answer the question left by the emperor.

"Only by holding the 'key' can you finally get the boat ticket", 80% is just a superficial arrangement, based on my understanding of the emperor and the "seal of disaster", the real meaning of this sentence is actually arranging for you to use it yourself" "Key" presides over the ceremony of breaking the "ban".

Hey, this ceremony is definitely not as simple as "banning", it must also involve some great secret.

Although it yelled "that bastard Roselle" on its lips, it always called it "Emperor" in its heart.

This point, even the lion himself did not notice.

And just as the lion thought, Abner quickly expressed his plan, that is, after MI9 and the Rose School of thought arrived here, he would take the sealed item "1025", while the others hid it. As an aid in the dark.

Regarding his plan, neither Jane nor Edwina had any objections, so the three of them cast their inexplicable eyes on Lion Leon.

Seeing this, the lion hurriedly raised its front paw, indicating that he would also join in... and sign a "contract".

Next, Abner took out various materials, and even went back to the lion's "den" to borrow some, and then opened the "Pure White Eye" again, using the original "seal" in the hall to start his own layout.

...

In Daniel Valley, as the rainfall continued to surge, the water level finally exceeded a certain critical point.

At the same time, streaks of gloomy light suddenly emanated from the pitch-black horizontal surface. Before the people from SI9 and the Rose School of Thought could react, most of them were engulfed by those lights and disappeared.

The entire valley... no, only two people remained on the lake.

One is the bald old man who persuaded the fight before the "Rose School of Thought", and the other is His Royal Highness Vera of the Loen royal family.

The latter only had time to stuff a magical item into Xio's hand when those lights appeared, and had to watch helplessly as his men were sucked into the reflection world on the lake.

"It seems that this Treasure of Daniel only chooses Extraordinary of low and middle sequence to participate... The bald old man of the Rose School of thought nodded thoughtfully, then looked at Vera who was standing on the water not far away, and sneered road:

"The people of Loen are indeed treacherous. They promised that the saint would not participate, but they even ambushed you, a strong demigod!"

Vera replied without changing her expression: "Aren't you the same?"

As she said that, she and the old man on the opposite side launched an attack at the same time, but they didn't hit each other, but a water surface on the side of the two of them.

A web woven of spider silk and ice appeared out of thin air, blocking their random attacks with no difficulty or effort.

Immediately afterwards, a woman wearing a simple and holy white robe with high openings on both sides exposing flawless thighs outlined her figure little by little,

She is the "White Maiden" Katerina who followed Colonel MI9.

"Don't be so enthusiastic... I can't take it anymore." Katerina said with a beautiful singing voice.

"The Witch of Immortality? The Witch Sect also got involved?" The old man and Vera frowned at the same time.

...

At the same time, on a mountaintop thousands of miles away from the valley, more than a dozen demigods were divided into three groups and gathered here to observe the situation in the center of Daniel Valley through a huge "mirror".

"When did Her Highness Vera become a demigod?" The Duchess Georgina, who was wearing a black evening dress, and another Saint Augustus beside her looked at each other, their eyes full of puzzlement.

But they are also fortunate, fortunately His Highness is already a demigod, otherwise, once they make a move, demigods like them who are thousands of miles away may not be able to quickly rescue them.

Actually bypassing the "contract" and secretly arranging a demigod... People from the Rose School of Thought really couldn't believe it!

On the other hand, the saint of the "Rose School of Thought", "The Silent Man" Mahmus, looked at the third-party forces present, and for some reason, the demigod of the "Spiritual Sect" Royal Faction came and asked:

"Did the people from the Witch Sect be arranged by you?"
