Mystery: Start with the Reader

In the restaurant on the first floor of the Fragrant Manor, as the servants put the grilled fish dishes on the table, a strong smell entered the noses of Gwen and the others, greatly increasing their saliva secretion.

As a manor named "Aromatic", there are many kinds of spices, plus the most suitable for grilling, the Galore fish from the freshwater lake near Bayam, the taste is quite attractive.

However, at this moment, except for Tran who nimbly picked up the "chopsticks" placed next to the dinner plate, Lydia and Miss Gwen were a little at a loss.

What about the knife and fork? What are these two branch-like things?

Just when they were confused, Abner skillfully picked up the "chopsticks" and explained with a smile:

"When eating grilled fish, you have to use this kind of tableware called 'chopsticks'. It is said that Emperor Roselle got the inspiration from the customs of the elves."

As he spoke, he lightly picked up a piece of fish as a demonstration.

"Elf customs?" Gwen, who has "giant" blood, and Lydia, who is simply "blood", have no special feelings for elves, but this does not prevent them from learning to use this unique tableware with great interest.

Miss Gwen tried to stir up the fish, but because she exerted too much force, she actually pinched it apart... She frowned, and then glanced at Mr. Blaine's nimble movements above, subconsciously becoming serious, and used The extraordinary ability of the "Weapon Master" turned the chopsticks into weapons, and quickly used them like fingers.

On the other hand, Lydia couldn't help but feel a little discouraged after trying for a long time. She really wanted to eat the fish that smelled so delicious. Anyway, the thorn was nothing to the vampires.

Even because the chef specially stuffed the spices through the holes in the eyes of the Galore fish to ensure the taste inside and out, if you are not afraid of those fish bones getting stuck in your throat, it is actually quite good to chew...

——The eyes of Galore fish have no eyeballs, and the whole eyes are even closed when they are alive. Only when it wants to "observe" the surrounding things, will there be a faint layer of light at the position corresponding to the "eyes" The light seems to form a channel, or "pupil"...it will "close" after a few seconds.

But in just a few seconds, the Galore fish can figure out the surrounding environment and terrain. If it is not taken too far by the current, it will not need to "observe" again in the next few days.

And after the death of Galore fish, that layer of "faint light" will condense into an opaque white liquid,

And its originally closed eyes will instantly become "hollow", and this "hollow" leads directly to the fish's brain and various organs.

Closer to home, just as Lydia was hesitating whether to eat the fish with the bones together, Tran who was beside her stretched out his chopsticks, helped her pick up the bones, and at the same time demonstrated the correct use of "chopsticks" for her.

Lydia was surprised, but also deeply satisfied. She moved her head closer and whispered, "You know how to use this kind of tableware!"

"'Chopsticks' was not actually invented by Emperor Roselle. In the etiquette passed down by our family for more than a thousand years, 'chopsticks' have always been used... It is rumored that this is a rule set by an ancestor." Tower Lan also lowered his voice.

"Ancestor, is that His Excellency Aloran?" Lydia asked curiously while enjoying Tran's "service".

"How do you know that I am a descendant of that lord?" Tran said in surprise, holding his chopsticks in his hand.

He remembered that he didn't tell Lydia about his life experience... although he didn't deliberately conceal it.

"My brother told me... members of our family will be attracted to the descendants of Aloran... so, I guess I can't control it..." Lydia replied.

"Then...then you are attracted to me simply because of the connection in mysticism?" Tran pursed his lips and his face turned pale.

"Fool... If I was simply attracted by this, I would have sucked you dry!" Lydia stretched out her hand and pinched Tran to stop him from thinking wildly.

Then, the two of them bit their ears like no one was watching, and their attention was completely diverted from the grilled fish.

Naturally, their "little actions" couldn't be hidden from Abner, and even Miss Gwen, who was eating fish at the same table, heard it clearly.

The latter smiled awkwardly at Abner, and helped his subordinates explain: "Their relationship has just had a breakthrough recently, so..."

"It's just a gathering of friends, not a banquet. There is no need to observe any dining etiquette." Abner didn't take it seriously, but kept emphasizing that it was not a "banquet".

Miss Gwen breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words, and gradually let go of her demeanor, chatting with Abner while enjoying the food.

Abner thought of the giant castle ruins that might exist under Gwen's grandfather's hotel, and asked proactively;

"I remember you mentioned at the beginning that the reason why you are keen on taking risks and becoming a Extraordinary is because you got a notebook by accident when you were a child?"

"Yes, that is a notebook written by the descendants of giants in the fourth era. Although it is not complete and many pages are missing, it also records a lot of mystic knowledge, including the potions of 'warrior' and 'fighter' formula.

"And at the end of the note, the descendant of the giant mentioned the cave where we ventured together..."

As Miss Gwen said, she also gave Abner a strange look, not understanding why he asked this.

But she has nothing to hide. After all, when she was at the pool deep in the cave, she told the other party about this notebook... Moreover, the "Sword of Dawn" transformed from the giant's "legacy" is still in the other party's hand inside.

Speaking of which, Mr. Blaine chose the name "Sword of Dawn" under my "hint".

Just when Miss Gwen's thoughts were drifting farther and farther, Abner's voice "called" her back: "Can I have a look at that notebook? In exchange, I can read the 'Knight of the Dawn' ''s potion recipe to tell you."

Before intercepting the "Undead King" squadron, Abner killed the fleet admiral "Grey Giant" Gravina, and obtained his extraordinary characteristics.

And since the "Dawn Knight" characteristic has been stored in his hands for such a long time, he naturally "analyzed" the potion formula long ago.

"That's too precious..." Ms. Gwen waved her hands again and again. Although the notebook is precious, the most important information in it, the location of the undersea cave, has no value at all. price.

"In fact, the value it contains may far exceed your imagination!" Abner didn't explain much, but his tone was very serious, making Miss Gwen believe it immediately. After agreeing to the deal, she couldn't help asking Said: "What exactly does it involve?"

Abner did not answer directly, but instead asked:

"Where did you get that notebook?"
