Mystery: Start with the Reader

In the majestic palace, the mottled bronze long table and twenty-two high-backed chairs with different symbols on the backs stand quietly, as if they have not changed since ancient times.

Abner sat in his own high-backed chair and listened carefully to Mr. World's description of the underground ruins on Williams Street.

"What Klein said was basically the same as in the original work. He didn't deliberately conceal the danger contained in it...

"And by telling me this, he hopes that I will become interested and take the initiative to deal with the matter of Baron Pound with them?

"Should I cooperate with him and agree to it?

"Well... first of all, from a safety perspective, it's quite acceptable...

"In the original work, the evil spirit of the 'Red Angel' did possess the baron this time, but the result was a near miss. He only used words to seduce Klein and Sharon to help him break the seal.

"Even though Sauron Einhorn Medici, who has lost his body and characteristics, was once the King of Angels, he only has the combat power of a demigod at most - in the original book, he faced Klein who had just been promoted to the 'Obvious Mage' Not sure to stay.

"What's more, now that the seal is still there, He may be even weaker. If I just want to escape, He probably won't be able to stop me...

"Secondly, from a profit perspective, will going to that ruins bring me any benefits?

"It seems that there really is... the Giuseppe Castilla who lived with Lilith's doppelgänger, Ms. Lamia, for a long time... or in other words, the later Mr. Felipe, after being raped by 'Pure White' It is very likely that he died in the ruins before being possessed by the time traveler he brought...

"And the newly born Mr. Felipe successfully left the ruins with the 'Cursed Tudor Badge'... During this period, he most likely had communication with the 'Red Angel'...

"Perhaps I can ask Medici about the senior time traveler?

"In addition, I don't know how much he knows about the Duke who wrote "The Feast of Blood"..."

As his thoughts were spinning, Abner deliberately showed a hint of curiosity and said thoughtfully:

"Do you want to invite me to explore the ruins again?"

Of course, Klein and Sharon's original plan did not include this. They just wanted to scare Baron Pound and make him be more honest.

But if Mr. "Tower" also goes, the goal will naturally change.

"If you can purify that evil spirit, it is natural to explore the ruins again." "The World" said hoarsely.

Purify evil spirits? I'm afraid you don't know the nature of that evil spirit... That's right, Klein really doesn't know now...

Abner complained in his heart, pretending to think for a while and then asked: "When are you going to take action?"

"Friday night," Klein replied.

"I still need to think about it and give you an answer tomorrow." Abner said.

He just ran out of "prophecies" today, otherwise it wouldn't have been that long.

"Okay." Klein nodded.

After Abner disappeared, Klein asked Miss Sharon, who had been silent, "Do you think he will agree?"

"Go to the bathroom like you normally would," Sharon replied calmly.

Go to the bathroom? In other words, it depends on the result of Mr. "Tower" going back to "divide", "predict" or "ask for instructions"?

But, Miss Temperance... I don't always go to the bathroom just to make excuses...

Klein complained a few words in his mind, and then pretended to express his gratitude to Mr. Fool. This brought Sharon back to reality, and he himself forwarded the news that Miss Justice had just "reported" to "To the Hanged Man".

…

7,000 pounds? Or an extraordinary item of similar value? "The Hanged Man" Alger Wilson, who was still in Bayam, the capital of the Rhoad Islands, felt as if he was hit hard by someone when he heard this number.

His savings currently only amount to less than 4,000 gold pounds. If he sells all his possessions, he may be able to collect it.

Unfortunately, that's not possible. After all, even if he gets the formula, he still has to save money for the materials. If he doesn't have the right items, how can he use it to take advantage of others or "enforce the law"?

After all, most ordinary pirates are actually not rich. They are accustomed to a life of squandering as soon as they harvest. Spirits, barbecue, prostitutes, marijuana and gambling drain the pirates' money bags.

Only pirate teams with extraordinary people are truly profitable!

With this thought in his mind, he took out a gold-like mask from the pocket of his clothes.

There are roughly outlined facial features on the mask, and their appearance is very characteristic of primitive people in the ancient jungle.

After much hesitation, Alger put it away again. He planned to use this mask to exchange for a powerful extraordinary weapon at an extraordinary party at the "Fragrant Leaf Bar"...

Then, he is going to hunt down a big pirate with a bounty of more than 3,000 pounds!

After he became the "Wind Blessed One", he already had this strength!

"You just have to be careful to hide your identity. After all, the church doesn't know that I'm already at Sequence 6..."

…

The lightning gradually subsided, and darkness became the master of the earth.

"Sun" Derrick followed the exploration team of Silver City and finally arrived at the destination after a short but not short trek and sporadic battles.

——A city that has been reduced to ruins.

Derrick still remembered Mr. "Tower"'s commission. He carefully maintained the formation while examining the houses on both sides of the street.

Most of them collapsed, with only a few still barely holding on, but their surfaces were all mottled and filled with the dust of time.

The coating with white and blue as the main tone, and the spire architectural structure that is different from the Silver City, have also become gray, making it difficult to imagine their original appearance.

"This...everywhere here shows the difference from Silver City...could the different civilizations Mr. Tower mentioned be these houses?

"What Mr. Tower meant before was that I could detect the traces of civilization he was looking for at a glance... Although this place is different from Silver City, I can probably still recognize their previous functions..."

When Derrick was a little distracted, "Demon Hunter" Colin looked around, his face a little stern, he pointed in front and said:

“Concentrate!

“Also, other areas have been cleared.

"Our target is that the temple is in the center of the city."

Derrick came back to his senses after hearing this, grasped the "Hurricane Axe" tightly, and followed the chief to the underground of the temple.

Along the way, they saw murals depicting the "Fallen Creator" fighting evil gods and protecting the remaining humans after the end of the world. They saw clusters of mushroom-shaped beautiful things that made people drool, and saw erected dark crosses and... The hanging upside down statue of the "Fallen Creator".

On the altar of the statue, there was a child of seven or eight years old!

In the child's hand, there is a copper book that is only the size of a palm, with gears and many delicate structures exposed on the surface.

Derrick only glanced at it and guessed that it was probably something from other civilizations that Mr. "Tower" had entrusted him to find.

By this time, the chief had already interrogated the child and learned that his name was Jack and that he came to find the Lord's sanctuary.

But the child suddenly noticed Derrick's gaze, turned back to look at him, and said as if murmuring: "I picked this up on the road, do you want it? I can give it to you, but you have to find some for me. Food. I’m so hungry! So hungry! So hungry!”

As he spoke, he suddenly threw the book towards Derrick, and at the same time, he grinned all the way to the base of his ears. His white teeth were neatly arranged, and slightly sticky saliva kept pouring out.

At the same time, he rushed out and pounced on Derrick so fast that a broken image was still left on the spot.

Derrick subconsciously took the gear book, and before he could react, he saw the chief suddenly draw his sword...

Immediately afterwards, he shook his head suddenly, woke up from his deep sleep, and saw the quietly burning fire in front of him and the team members guarding the camp dutifully.

"Demon Hunter" Colin, who was sitting cross-legged next to a stone pillar, opened his eyes and said in a deep voice:

"Leave after 50 lightning strikes."

Hearing these words, Derrick thought of the city-state he was about to arrive, the temple of the fallen Creator, and the mission entrusted by Mr. "Tower", and he couldn't help but feel nervous.

Until he followed the chief across the dilapidated city wall and entered the strange temple, he didn't realize that there was a copper book with exposed gear mechanisms in his pocket.
