Mystery: Start with the Reader

Bayam, Aroma Manor.

Not long after Hugh left, Abner noticed that the team monitoring the manor also withdrew.

At this time, he suddenly received a request from the "Teleportation Altar", so he hurried down to the basement and used secret techniques to "pass" the "Teleportation" request.

Immediately afterwards, the figure of "Vice Admiral Iceberg" Edwina walked out from the "door" surrounded by flames.

Speaking of which, after Abner returned to Bayam, he tried to contact Edwina, and wrote a letter to Jane through the "messenger".

It's a pity that the latter has not responded... But from the status of the "messenger", it can be guessed that she should be fine, but it is not convenient to contact her for the time being.

And Edwina tried to use the "teleportation technique" to come here as early as last Sunday, but the Aroma Manor was still under surveillance at that time, and Abner did not agree.

"Vice Admiral Iceberg" Edwina was wearing a similar outfit to Xio's before, holding a silver mirror in her hand. After seeing Abner, her light blue eyes showed a hint of a smile, and said: "I 'foresee' At this time, requesting 'transmission' will be allowed."

Abner also responded with a smile, "I'm relieved that nothing happened to you."

"I was directly sent back to Lunburg, and I even met with the teacher..." Edwina paused, took out a bottle full of liquid from her pocket, and handed it to Abner, " Well, it just happened to help you collect the 'Water from the Fountain of Wisdom in Lemburg'."

Abner's eyes lit up, he took the bottle and asked casually, "How much?"

Although the spring water is located in Lemburg University, not everyone can take it casually. Not to mention the price is not cheap, you have to make an appointment.

Edwina shook her head, her eyes sparkled and she said: "The only thing I want to know is, what did you find in that hall...or what secrets are hidden behind it."

It hides a bunch of gods and the plans of the king of angels, and even involves unknown existences that I can't think of right now... I'm afraid that if I tell them all, we will be "cool" on the spot...

Abner complained a lot in his heart, but on the surface, after deliberating for a while, he focused on the matter of the "Empire of Ghosts" ticket... In addition, he also vaguely mentioned the role of that hall in Dennett. With a mouthful, Edwina was guided to think of it herself.

"So it's like this...Vice Admiral Iceberg." Edwina nodded thoughtfully, and said to herself, "So it's sailing in the mirror world, no wonder no one has been able to find it for nearly two thousand years..."

Speaking of this, she looked at Abner with some expectation, and asked, "When you explore it in the future, can you take me with you?"

"Yes..." Abner nodded first, and then bluntly persuaded, "Discovering the 'Empire of Ghosts' is not a very good ritual plan..."

Before he finished speaking, Edwina nodded slightly and said frankly:

"I understand that it involves too much, and there may be treasures that angels and even true gods covet... It is too dangerous to spread the news of its discovery.

"However, I'm only interested in the history and secrets contained in the 'Empire of Ghosts' itself, and I don't want to rely on it to be promoted to a demigod."

"Then there's no problem... I'll let you know in June next year." Abner said with a smile.

"Actually, this time I returned to Lunburg, I made a new discovery...Maybe I will invite you to join me on an expedition in the next month or two." After Edwina finished speaking, she looked at Abner with bright eyes. road.

She had a vague "premonition" that without the other party's participation, her expedition might be in great danger.

"What kind of adventure?" Abner did not respond immediately, but asked cautiously and curiously.

After all, this is an expansion beyond the plot of the original novel.

"I'm not sure yet... well, I'll tell you in detail after I investigate clearly after the New Year, and you can choose whether to join or not at that time." Edwina said after thinking about it.

"Okay." Abner had no opinion on this, so he nodded.

Edwina seemed to remember something at this moment,

Instead, he asked, "Didn't the lion... I mean the 'Finx Lion' come out with you?"

"No..." Abner shook his head and asked doubtfully, "Why did you ask about it?"

"It's my teacher, Ms. Isabella, she asked me about the lion..." Edwina recalled Isabella's slightly excited expression at that time, and she is still very surprised.

Because since she knew that lady, she has always been elegant and calm, almost never showing such an expression of gaffe.

"Leon... or 'Three Lights'?" Abner looked strange, and after thinking for a while, he said, "May I ask, who is that Ms. Isabella... and what level of Extraordinary?"

That lion was sealed by Roselle in the Daniel Valley of the Southern Continent more than a hundred years ago... To be able to recognize its existence is at least a demigod.

Edwina knew what the other party wanted to ask, so she organized the language and said:

"Ms. Isabella is the Saint of the 'Reader' pathway, the 'Prophet' of Sequence 4.

"I don't know her identity, but I guess it has something to do with the family of the Grand Duke of Lemburg...

"She told me that she and Roselle discovered and raised that lion together...During Roselle's administration, she often went to Intis to visit it...

"But all of this changed after Roselle became Caesar. He seemed to be a different person, and he was no longer close to his former friends at all... Karen is like this, and so is she.

"After the fall of the Gustav dynasty, she went to find the lion... Unfortunately, she didn't find it."

When Abner heard this, he smelled a bit of dog blood, and felt that it was a lie that Ms. Isabella was looking for the lion, and that it might be the truth to find Roselle's whereabouts by means of this.

However, the emperor alienated his friends in his later years, and he might have been polluted and his temperament changed a lot. Maybe there was also the meaning of protecting them from being implicated by him.

...

In the Southern Continent, in a village on the Star Plateau.

After putting a little girl who was only four or five years old to sleep, Jane let out a long breath.

The little girl is Wenna, the daughter of a friend of Maric's...

"Among the friends and family members he entrusted me to take care of, they are the only ones who are still alive... The rest of the people who helped him and Sharon all ended up being sacrificed in blood... The 'Rose School of Thought' really should be destroyed!"

If Jane vowed to destroy the "Rose School of Thought" in the past for revenge... Then now, she is more firm in her decision.

At this time, a woman wearing the characteristic clothing of the Southern Continent walked into the room, smiled and said to Jane:

"Look who's here?"

Jane looks over her and soon spots a lion with brain cancer.

It walked with uncoordinated steps, and said in a hoarse voice: "Little girl, can you help me find where that kid is?"
