Mystery: Start with the Reader

"Where did I get that notebook..." Ms. Gwen thought about it for a moment before she thought about it, "This notebook drifted from the mountains to the hot spring pool of my grandfather's house along the hot spring water, and it happened to be played by I picked up...

"I saw that the paper was special, and it hadn't been damaged after being soaked for a long time, so I kept it in a collection out of curiosity, and then I forgot about it for a long time.

"I didn't think of that notebook until I came into contact with the ancient Fusac language, the source of the languages ​​of the countries in the Northern Continent, when I was studying in Backlund Women's Public School... because the text on it is the ancient Fusac language."

Drifting down the hot spring? Wasn't it excavated underground? From this point of view, the information collected by the woman named Paji from the "Ghost Society" may not be true...

Abner thought for a while, then asked again: "Annie... may I ask, in what year did you pick it up?"

—Miss Gwynn's full name is Anne Gwynn.

"About twelve years ago, when I was six..." Miss Gwynn replied affirmatively.

That year was also the time when she left Feysac with her parents and came to Backlund, so she was very impressed.

Twelve years ago... I remember that in the "Police Diary" I got from "Dream Labyrinth Tower", the recorded time when the fishermen first discovered the ruins with the skeleton of a giant dragon was also twelve years ago...

Could it be a coincidence?

Or is there some kind of relationship between the castle of the descendants of giants and the ruins related to Mr. Ards?

Hey, after exchanging information with Ms. Closfia, I thought I knew almost everything about that ruin... Now it seems that there may be other secrets hidden in it.

While thinking, Abner met Miss Gwen's curious gaze, and simply told her about the inexplicable natural disaster that destroyed the "Giant Descendants Castle" at the end of the Fourth Epoch.

But he did not say where the information came from.

After all, it is impossible for Miss Gwen to go to Feysac in person. Telling her this now will not do any good except to increase her troubles.

And that Paggy from the "Ghost Society" is dead, and most of the troubles in her grandfather's house have been solved.

"It turns out that there is still such a secret hidden on Mount Tamik..." Miss Gwen sighed in surprise,

Then he thought of something, and murmured worriedly, "Mr. Blaine... No, since Abner can find out those secrets, others may not be able to... No, I have to write to my mother and ask her to persuade Grandpa as soon as possible. Sell ​​the hot spring hotel!"

Abner heard Gwen's whisper and nodded in satisfaction. The reason why he said this to the other party was that he wanted to take the opportunity to buy the hotel as a stronghold.

It wasn't that he deliberately took advantage of it. After all, Gwen's grandfather's family had found it difficult to gain a foothold in Indo, and the hotel would have to be sold sooner or later.

That being the case, it's better to let him buy it, at least the price won't be pressed too hard.

...

Backlund, Red Rose Manor.

After a few days of recuperation, "Vice Admiral Illness" Tracy finally recovered from her injuries and returned to her best condition.

——She was slightly injured before being caught by the Rose School of Thought, and then her soul was "suppressed". some degree of pollution.

Don't look at how ferocious she was when she chased and killed the wronged soul who had "occupied" her body, she had already reached her limit, otherwise she would not have accepted His Royal Highness's kindness.

Fortunately, the source of the pollution, the middle-aged "Wraith" seems to have fallen, otherwise she would not have been able to recover in such a short period of time.

Now that her injury has recovered, Tracy no longer intends to stay in Prince Edsack's manor.

Although the prince is a good person and has no dirty thoughts about himself, Tracy has noticed the "horror" undercurrent around him these days!

And her intuition also told her that staying here would be extremely dangerous.

But it doesn't seem too good to just leave without saying goodbye...Tracey weighed things up, and finally made up her mind, and then entered the "invisible" state, taking advantage of the darkness, bypassing the guards of the scary old butler, and sneaking into the prince's house In the bedroom.

Prince Edsac hasn't rested yet. He is sitting on the bedside, frowning and reading a piece of information.

The content of the intelligence was about his brother Mountbatten.

"Mountbatten voluntarily relinquished his status as prince? Why? What did he do?"

Just when Edesak was full of doubts, a pleasant female voice came from beside his ear:

"Your Highness, it's me...I have no malicious intentions, please don't speak for the time being, and it's best not to react...I say you just listen."

Edsack was really taken aback at first, but he quickly recognized that it was the voice of the girl who suddenly appeared in his sun room with a temperament similar to Triss, so after hesitating for a while, he still didn't say anything. Speak up and wait for the other party's follow-up words.

"Very well, Your Highness...

"I have three things to tell you here tonight, as a reward for your hospitality these days... You can believe it, or you can choose not to believe it...

"First, I am a witch, and the woman you admire is also a witch... and the witches, most of their hands are covered with blood.

"Second, your steward is not trustworthy, and your deacon is spying on you.

"Third and most important, according to my mirror divination, your life will be in danger soon, and the chance to survive only exists within this week...

"Okay, I've finished what I have to say... Your Highness, goodbye... No, I will never see you again."

After finishing speaking, Prince Edsac only noticed that the window seemed to be opened a little by the wind, and then the bedroom fell into silence.

He sat on the bed for a long time, and after a while, he picked up the information again, and said to himself silently:

"One prince has already been sacrificed... Maybe another one will not be sacrificed...

"But death...shouldn't it? Mountbatten also survived, which shows that the father will not be so heartless...

"However, the first thing she mentioned, I seem to have heard a similar statement somewhere before...why can't I remember?"

...

In an unknown room, the facial features were like sculptures, but Ince Zangwill, who was blind in one eye, lay weakly on the bed.

Beside him, sat a bright and attractive lady, she was slowly smearing various things on her face, and asked, "Is that quill still unusable?"

"I used the 'Umbilical Cord of the Son of the Evil God' in the previous battle. Now I use '0-08', it will probably let me hear the voice of the 'True Creator' directly..." Ince Zangwill sighed tone way.

"Without its help, I would have to frequently destroy that girl's escape plan, and I had to ask the royal adviser to meet with the prince frequently... This greatly increased the risk of exposure... I also paid for it. A hefty price...

"And this is all because of an 'arrangement' made by you." The woman's tone was not heavy, and her voice was still sweet, but in Ince's ears, he felt that this was a very severe accusation, and he even felt There's a hint of danger.

"A week...at most a week later, I can use '0-08' to regain control of the situation." Ince said in a deep voice.

"Very good." The woman laughed lowly, "Before that, I will help you block the anger from the Aurora Society."

Hearing this, Ince finally let out a sigh of relief.
