Mystery: Start with the Reader

Many legends and stories about the three "artifacts" of the Sword and Mirror Seal and a number of film and television literary works flashed through Abner's mind, including Chinese and foreign ones.

But when they are put together, they mostly function as symbols or "keys"...either used to seal a certain monster, or used to awaken a certain existence...

This is probably a manifestation of some kind of "mystery", which is why they are so similar, right?

Of course, this may also be necessary for the ritual... I remember that Russell jumped to the "Secret Peeper" path when he was promoted to Sequence 1 from Sequence 2 and became the "Knowledge Emperor".

And the sword and mirror seals are all items that represent power, and are symbols of the emperor or king... Together, they may carry the "mysterious" knowledge from before the First Age that I guessed before...

It's a pity that I haven't seen the "Hermit" card, and the original book doesn't mention the rituals required by the "Emperor of Knowledge"... Otherwise, it can be verified immediately.

While Abner was thinking, Lion Lion shook his big head and said:

"I don't know what Russell wanted to do by making those three things... But I have a hunch that 'Disaster Seal' encouraged Russell to build them for another purpose... After all, that guy is the best at conspiracy!"

Regarding those three items, the "Disaster Seal" and Russell's purpose are inconsistent? Hmm... It is indeed very possible. After all, the "Disaster Seal" seems to have known from a long time ago that there will be subsequent time travelers coming, and it will also "die"...

It’s normal to have other plans! I guess Russell didn’t know about it, and probably acquiesced.

However, Leon, you were quite resentful when you talked about the "Seal of Disaster"! But I've never heard you say that it cheated you... So, are you actually jealous that it is favored by the emperor?

After thinking for a moment, Abner asked the lion a few more questions and stopped after seeing that it indeed knew only so much on the matter.

At this time, the hand of the wall clock was already pointing to eleven o'clock. Since they had eaten a late breakfast, Abner and Jane, who were not hungry at all, did not intend to stay in the club to wait for lunch. Instead, they called a carriage and headed to the dock area together. Go to the villa rented by Losfiya and Dunn.

Sitting in the carriage, Jane thought about going on an adventure with Abner at night, so she briefly introduced the extraordinary items on her body:

"I currently have six extraordinary items, of which I wear four, and Secret Puppet Steve the Wraith wears two.

"The items on my body are the Death Ring I got from 'Hell Admiral' Ludwell, the 'Necromancer Iron Plate' left by my ancestors, the 'Marionette Gloves' used to control the 'Wraith Soul', and what you have done for me. The 'Cursed Scythe' I made.

"The 'Death Ring' can command and command most spirits below demigods, and can also increase the effects of necromantic abilities or spells.

"The ancestor's 'iron plate' also has the function of commanding the undead. It can even absorb many spirits into it and release them to help me fight when needed... Moreover, it can also suppress the extraordinary people of the 'corpse collector' path! Demigod It is difficult for the following people to resist this kind of suppression, and it can also form a considerable restraint on the existence of demigods.

"Using the Iron Tablet and the Death Ring together will produce a better effect.

"The 'Marionette Gloves' are used to control Steve the Wraith. They have no other functions... As for the 'Cursed Scythe', that is an item made by you...

"Well, the two items carried by 'Steve' were obtained from the chief of the 'Rose School' who hunted me before. After Princess Bruna killed him, she gave him and the items on him. Gave it to me as a meeting gift.

“One of them is a long sword with the ability of ‘Reaper’, but its negative effects are very great, and only the ‘Wraith’ can reluctantly hold it all the time;

"The other one is a necklace made with the characteristics of 'Instigator'... It has the ability of 'Charm', 'Persuasion' etc... But I didn't like it, so I gave it to the Marionette for use."

At this point in the introduction, Jane hesitated for a moment, then continued, "Speaking of which, in addition to the two extraordinary items that the chief of the 'Rose School' contributed to me, he actually also had two items with sequence 5-level characteristics.

“One is the ‘resentful soul’ characteristic that he developed himself, which I used in exchange with Miss Sharon.

"The other one is the 'Punishment Knight' characteristic of the MI9 colonel he killed in the maze... You... no, do you need that Miss Xio?"

She knew that Xio had been promoted to 'Judge', so she kept that characteristic in her hand...

Abner thought about Xio's current financial situation and felt that even if she sold the characteristics of the "living corpse" she killed in "Daniel's Labyrinth", the gap would still be large.

He originally wanted to buy it directly for Xiu, but after calculating his assets, he found that after deducting the money to buy the newspaper for Lion, he was actually very reluctant. After all, the characteristics of Sequence 5 must be at least 10,000 pounds. That's it. Price but no market!

Fortunately, he now has Bayam's Extraordinary Party to provide a steady stream of funds. If he sells a few items that are valid for eight months from time to time, he may be able to collect enough after the Chinese New Year.

"Can you keep the characteristics first, and I will ask her for you later." Abner asked after considering it.

"No problem, she can come to me for exchange anytime she wants." Jane smiled, as if she had established some kind of psychological advantage.

Next, Abner also mentioned the "Tears of Lilith", the "Ring of Light" ring, the "Puppet" that can control the thread of the spirit body and other items on his body to Jian. Only the "Cursed Tudor" "Badge" is a trump card, and the ability is rather vague.

While they were chatting, the carriage suddenly stopped and did not move forward for a long time.

Abner glanced at his watch, then frowned.

Because he had taken a carriage to Crosphia and Dunn's place several times before, and the time spent on the journey was usually between one and a half to two hours...

But now, it's been less than an hour since I left the club, and it's obvious that I haven't arrived yet.

Jane also lifted the spiritual blockade on the carriage at the right time, asked the coachman, and then got the answer: "The police came to check and track down the suspect."

rummage? Did something happen last night when I was promoted?

Abner picked up the day's newspaper that the club had thoughtfully prepared for the distinguished guests in the carriage and glanced at it for a while, but found no news related to any serious incidents.

That's the police... no, it should be the official Beyonders of the God of War Church investigating people who go to the dock area? Is this trying to stop the Beyonders from going to the open sea?

While guessing in his mind, Abner was not too worried about himself. After all, his current identity was certified by the Church of the Mother Earth, and he lived in the top club, so he was not afraid of inspection at all...

But what about Jane? Her identity is not very visible to the public...

Thinking of this, Abner looked at Jane, who smiled at him, then pulled out a special spirit from the iron plate he carried and let it cover his body...

Immediately afterwards, Jane's sense of existence was reduced to the point where she could not be detected without opening her "pure white eyes".

I had forgotten that Jane had such a spirit... Speaking of which, her ancestor, the senior time traveler who was the "Death Archon" really left behind a lot of good things!

After Abner sighed, he quietly waited for the inspection...

Soon, the car door was opened, and a young woman with a slightly "healthy" complexion, wearing a uniform, carrying a long sword on her waist, and carrying a bottle of wine entered the car.

She looked around the carriage, then sat directly next to Jane and asked Abner opposite to show her ID.

While getting his identity certificate, Abner secretly looked at the official Beyonder opposite him, and quickly recognized him as one of the two women he had met at the entrance of the hot spring hotel.

Although I only focused on "retrospecting" the scene between the red-haired girl named Nathalie and her teacher, and the scene of this woman was just swept across, I also remembered that Nathalie once called her name... Well, She should be called "Sirtana".

The reason why Abner peeked at the other party was not because he was lustful, but under close observation, he suddenly discovered that this young woman looked somewhat similar to Mr. Azik, but her facial features were softer...

In addition, she also has a small black mole under her right ear.
