Mystery: Start with the Reader

"It seems your problem has been solved..."

"No, it's not completely solved yet. You came at the right time." At this time, Abner smiled and said, "I just have something to ask you for help."

Mr. Azik looked over after hearing this. He had a good impression of the detective who had helped him recall the past, so he chuckled and said, "Help? Is it the sealed object inside?"

As he spoke, he seemed to sense it, and then continued: "The aura on it is a bit troublesome, but it has the characteristic of being 'alive', so it is not difficult to communicate with it."

Abner was not surprised at all that the "Tudor Badge" had the "alive" property. After all, if it is not "alive", how could it be sealed by such a simple "ritual"? How could it be possible to give preferential treatment to people from the "Thorin" family?

Only living things have "preferences."

"Yes, I just want to invite you to drink it and discuss how to relax some of the conditions for carrying it..." Abner nodded.

"I'll give it a try." Mr. Azik said "hmm", walked to the altar, and put his hand directly on the badge.

At this time, Judy quietly approached Abner and asked secretly: "Is this Silica's father?"

"How do you know?" Abner asked in surprise.

"Karen is a companion of me and the captain, a companion who can entrust his life to us. Naturally, he will not hide anything from us..." Judy said this seriously first, then showed a bad smile, winked and said, "But The first time he came to see Karen, he scared Karen so much that she was in a trance for several days..."

So, when you say entrusting your life, do you mean "social death"? Abner complained secretly, suddenly feeling that Judy was really Ms. Crossfia's daughter, and the evil smile just now was exactly the same.

"Silly girls" also have the talent of being full-time "fun people"!

On the other side, Karen, who had just coaxed Silica, heard these words and said helplessly: "You two calm down, my client is still here."

Can you count as a person? Not a vampire? Cursing in his heart, Abner shrugged on the surface, indicating that he didn't say anything, and turned to ask Karen something he had always wanted to ask before:

"By the way, Karen... I wonder if I can borrow the second half of "Blood Feast"... What will it cost?"

Karen gave him a weird look and said, "You're the third person to ask about this recently."

Abner was stunned when he heard this, his mind was spinning rapidly, and he asked: "Who else? Emlyn?"

When he thought about it, since Mr. "Fool" had obtained the first half of "Blood Feast" from himself early, it was natural for him to be curious about the following content, and he did ask himself "Karen" in the name of the favored one. "Contact information. It’s just that I didn’t get Karen’s consent and didn’t give it to him... Therefore, Mr. Fool most likely found Emlyn.

"There is indeed that guy..." Karen rubbed her forehead and continued, "The other one is Lydia... Haha, speaking of which, I have to thank you for telling me that she discovered the so-called 'Golden Snake Treasure' , I’ll go take care of it when I’m done here..."

Why would Lydia ask this? Is it possible that the treasure Russell left behind is also related to that classic? According to what Old Huang wrote in his diary, he clearly wanted to trick Karen... So, was he trying to use the knowledge related to that book as bait to lure Karen into taking the bait?

As his thoughts were spinning, Abner spoke again, repeating the previous question: "So, how can I get the opportunity to read the second half of "Blood Feast"?"

"To be honest, although I have read the second half because I am a direct descendant of the author of "Blood Feast", I still don't know how to determine its qualifications..." At this point, Karen organized his words before continuing. He said, "According to the order issued by the ancestor, you must hand over a 'relic' of your ancestor before you are qualified to read the second half of the book, and you must swear not to tell anyone about it after reading it.

"And the reason why I am qualified to see it is because I am in a sense a 'relic' of my ancestors..."

Most of the children of extraordinary people in the mysterious world are given away by drinking too much magic potion... From this point of view, there is nothing wrong with descendants saying that they are "relics"...

Abner thought for a while and then asked: "Are there any standards for so-called 'relics'? Or, do they have any characteristics?"

"I don't know... everything will be judged by your Excellency or Highness appointed by the ancestor..." Karen shook his head first, then seemed to remember something, and said, "By the way, it is said that at the end of the Fourth Age, there was a A high-sequence Beyonder of the Corpse Collector path once read the second half of "Blood Feast", and what he used in exchange was just an ordinary glass bottle.

"This is just a legend circulated within the family. Whether it is different from reality is unknown..."

It is known that the travelers brought by the "Pure White Eye" will have an inexplicable "aggregation" with each other. However, because the previous traveler is immortal, the "Pure White Eye" will not find a new "host". Therefore, the time travelers of this series cannot meet each other in pairs...

And because of this "aggregation", subsequent travelers can always find the "relics" of the previous traveler... This is probably what the ancestor of the vampire family needs, and what Lilith needs, right?

Does she want to use this to find new "travelers"?

Has she always been kind to the time-travelers brought by the "Pure White Eyes"? Why? Is it just because the time-traveler who is a vampire duke is favored by her?

Hmm... I have a lot of similar "relics" in my hand. There are several mysterious books that can be exchanged. Even the photos I got today may be OK... But I don't need to bother Karen to hand them over...

Since the second half of "Blood Feast" is in the hands of Lilith, I can definitely go to the Harvest Church to find her after returning to Backlund... Anyway, she seems to be very "idle" all the time.

After this topic was over, Abner was about to ask Karen if he could tell one of his friends about Silica's summoning ceremony when he saw Mr. Azik suddenly pick up the badge on the altar and turn it around. He walked up to Abner and said with a smile: "Okay, it promises that when it is just held or worn, it will have no negative effects...

"But as a price, Warfar beeswax must be prepared for it every day...

"Of course, it won't work if the wearer is a descendant of the 'Tudor' family."

After saying that, he handed the sealed object, which was almost equivalent to the "Fallen Earl", into Abner's hands without hesitation.

Then, Mr. Azik put away his gentle smile and cast his gaze on Karen, who was kissing Silica affectionately.
