Mystery: Start with the Reader

"Soren Einhorn Medici?" "The World" Klein chewed on the name and said thoughtfully, "That evil spirit is composed of three of them? No wonder it has a tone when it speaks. After several changes...

"So... that ruins are actually the place where they fell... Was the 'Blood Emperor' that strong before he became a god? Or does he have other helpers?"

"Temperance" Sharon then added succinctly: "They are each other's enemies,"

Yes, it could also be that the "Blood Emperor" took advantage of Sauron, Einhorn, and Medici's internal fighting to launch a surprise attack and captured them together... But it was still very difficult, and there must be helpers.

With this thought in his mind, Klein looked at Mr. "Tower", hoping to get an answer from him.

Abner thought for a while and felt that it didn't matter if he told Klein, so he replied thoughtfully:

"The ones who support Tudor to become the 'Blood Emperor' are Adam and Amon... They should both be the descendants of the Creator and the kings of angels."

The Creator... does he mean the Creator in Silver City? He actually named his two children Adam and Amon? Could it be that this person is actually Liu Bo?

Not quite like... Liu Bo's naming style seems to be more based on what he has seen, and he almost never uses names from myths and legends...

So... other time-travelers? Is this world a sieve? How many time-travelers have been "fortunate" by this?

In addition, what is the relationship between the "true Creator" and that person? Simply imitating the other party, using the title of Creator and the symbol of the cross? Or is there some deep connection between the two?

As his thoughts were spinning, Klein asked curiously: "Mr. Tower, I remember you said that Amon is the 'Angel of Time'... Then what is the title of Adam, who is also the King of Angels?"

"Adam is known as the 'Angel of Utopia' and is the most terrifying of all the angel kings." Abner replied solemnly.

Fantasy... Klein recited the word and asked again: "Is it the 'fantasy' of 'Dragon of Fantasy'? 'Audience'? Similar to '0-08'?"

It has been mentioned more than once in the classics handed over by "The Sun" that in the distant Second Age, the most powerful and terrifying member of the dragon clan was the "King of Dragons" Angelweed, who was also known as " Dragon of Utopia".

You are very good at association! Abner secretly applauded, but outwardly nodded and said: "Adam is more terrifying than '0-08', so try not to think about his name after you go back."

Can’t you even think about it? Sure enough, it is more troublesome than "0-08"... Klein felt fearful in his heart and said with emotion:

"I see, it's understandable that He made the 'arrangements' to plot and kill the three Sequence 1 archangels..."

"Not three archangels, but two archangels and a king of angels!" Abner first corrected the error in Klein's words, and then added, "Medici calls himself the 'God of War'. He is also the King of Angels with the title of 'Red Angel'."

Another king of angels, Mr. "Tower" once mentioned in the Tarot meeting that the "ancient sun god", that is, the creator of Silver City, has eight kings of angels under his seat... and I already know it. three...

Logically speaking, Mr. "Ta" shouldn't tell me this kind of knowledge so easily...

When dealing with others, you must ask for something!

After hesitating for a moment, Klein thanked "Tower" for the explanation, and then asked directly: "Mr. 'Tower,' what do I have to pay for this knowledge?"

If the price is too outrageous, just pay it first.

Abner seemed to have read through his mind and said with a smile: "You can pay the debt first... I may have an adventure that needs your help in a while."

"What kind of adventure?" Klein asked cautiously.

"I'm not sure yet. I will ask for your opinion first when there is definite information." Abner himself was waiting for news from "Vice Admiral Iceberg" Edwina.

Although there is a high probability that it will be an adventure in "Grossell's Travels", it is difficult to say whether the story in the book will be consistent with the original work through the hands of Russell and "Seal of Disaster".

At this time, Sharon, who was sitting diagonally across from Abner, suddenly said, "What about me?"

"This is the prepaid reward for inviting The World... I have already agreed that The World will inform you, so Miss Temperance, you don't need to pay me anymore... Of course, if you feel bad about it, you can also directly return it to Mr. World. ." Abner joked with a smile.

"Temperance" Sharon glanced at "The World" after hearing this and stopped talking.

Klein didn't pay much attention. He originally wanted to take the opportunity to ask about "Iron Man", but considering that this "small meeting" was a bit long and there was no good topic guide, he could only put it aside for the time being and wait. During the Tarot meeting in a few days, let "The Fool" have a private chat with "Tower"... After all, Dunn's matter also involves the Mother Earth.

After returning to reality, the three of them quickly parted ways. Klein caught the last subway and returned to Minsk Street in the Jowood District - this was one of the reasons why he had to break up the meeting.

But Abner thought for a while, and instead of going back to the East District, he went straight to Xio and Forsi's home.

Medici said that last week there was a man with the same weird luck as Giuseppe passing by Williams Street through the sewers, which made him a little concerned, so he was going to go find Hugh and ask if any prisoners had escaped nearby.

As for Sharon, she took advantage of the night to rush to a secret party that was about to start.

…

In the living room of the single-family house rented by Forsi and Xio, Abner shared with Xio the actions he had just taken without much reservation.

As for Forsi? She was still working hard on the manuscript, so I didn’t bother her.

After listening to Abner's story, Xio said thoughtfully while recalling: "Speaking of people with abnormal luck, I heard Her Highness Vera mention one before... and she was indeed involved in the assassination of Duke Negan. He disappeared that night..."

"Who is it?" Abner asked curiously.

"The Attaché of the Intis Embassy, ​​the 'Wizard' Bianca... I remember that I gave you her information before you assassinated Backlund." Xio paused here and then said with a strange expression, "She She was disguised as Mrs. Parnis and acted as a bridge between Intis and Baron Larry...but she disappeared after last Thursday."

Bianca? Abner recalled the information he had read and remembered that this person seemed to be Beckerlund's mistress. Moreover, when he went to modify the ceremonial barrier of the embassy, ​​he also bumped into her stealing secrets...

Is there something unusual about her luck? And there was something wrong with Quinn's expression when he talked about her...

When Abner was thinking, he heard Xio say in an incomprehensible tone: "Your Highness Vera told me... It seems that men who have an affair with her will suffer bad luck... I went to investigate... The current life or death of La is unknown. Baron Li might be the one who ended up with the best outcome..."

It turns out that her abnormal luck refers to this... But what does this have to do with the senior time traveler? Why does Medici find it paradoxical... is it because of the same origin?

With these questions in mind, when the time passed twelve o'clock and a new day came, Abner opened his "Pure White Eyes" and performed an "active prophecy" once a day:

"Bianca's whereabouts."

Soon, a word appeared in Abner's mind:

"Trier."

Bianca ran to the capital of Intis?

What a coincidence. I plan to go to Intis after the new year...firstly, to escort Elaine back home, and secondly, to fulfill my promise to help Lion open a newspaper...

In addition, as early as when I was promoted to "Knower", someone sent a letter through Anderson, inviting me to go to West Balang after becoming a "Secret Master"...

It’s also a convenient way to go from Intis.

…

At three o'clock on Monday afternoon, as the figures brought by the deep red light appeared on both sides of the ancient long table, the Tarot session also started as scheduled.

"Justice" Audrey, who was sitting on the other side of the long bronze table, led everyone to say hello to Mr. Fool. She originally wanted to greet "The Hanged Man", "Tower" and others one by one happily and briskly as usual. But as soon as she glanced around, she immediately realized that little "Sun" was in something wrong, and immediately asked:

"Mr. Sun, what happened? The operation to explore the real, um, Temple of the Fallen Creator did not go well?"

Derrick "The Sun" seemed to have come back to his senses at this moment, because just after he boarded the gray fog, he suddenly remembered that he had repeatedly experienced many explorations, and each time there were differences in details... But He hadn't noticed it at all before, and even the gear book that appeared in his pocket had been subconsciously ignored by him many times!

After hearing Miss Justice's question, Derrick quickly described what happened in general, and finally said:

“After the little boy was eliminated by His Excellency ‘Chief’, we all closed our eyes and then woke up in the camp outside the city, ready to start a new exploration without any memories of the past.

"This process was repeated five times, and except that the original gear book was always in my pocket and never appeared in the little boy's hands again, the rest were mostly the same.

"If Mr. Fool hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have even known that I had been living a repetitive life during this period."

He took it for granted that the extra memories he had after coming above the gray fog were due to Mr. Fool's reminder, so he stood up and solemnly saluted the vague figure sitting at the top of the long bronze table.

It was only after I listened to your description that I understood what happened... "The Fool" Klein has been a little confused from just now to now.

He maintained his original posture and nodded slightly in response.

Seeing that Mr. Fool seemed to be a deep ancient well without waves, Derrick the Sun felt a lot more relieved. He turned to look at the Hanged Man, the Tower, the World, Judgment, and Justice. , "Temperance" and "The Magician," asked sincerely:

"Do you know the source of the problem? How to solve it?"

"Justice" Audrey and "Magician" Forsi were willing to answer, but found that they had no clue and couldn't even make a guess.

And "Judgment" sets its sights directly on the "Tower".

"The Hanged Man" Alger listened to the description of "The Sun" and said after careful consideration:

"I can only think of two possibilities. One is that you have encountered nightmare or hallucination abilities that exceed the demigod level. After you retrieve your memory with the help of Mr. Fool, you should be able to detect it as soon as you return to the real world. If something goes wrong, the problem will be easily solved.

"The second is that you are forced or actively enter a strange space or state at a certain node, where time maintains a certain degree of flow, but is fixed within a certain range, repeating the cycle and continuing in balance. That is, relatively still.

"This requires strong external force to break the situation...

"In addition, since the gear book you got can be outside this cycle, it may be a key prop!"

Having said this, he looked at the "Tower" beside him and said: "That's all I can guess... Mr. 'Tower', what do you think?"

Seeing that everyone was looking at him following Alger's words, and Derrick's expectant mood could even be observed through the gray fog, Abner organized his words and said:

“This is very much like the ‘cycle of fate’ of the ‘Snake of Mercury’…

"And the mural mentioned by 'The Sun' reminds me of a king of angels who is loyal to the 'fallen creator'..."

"He loved leaving paintings like this."
