Mystery: Start with the Reader

But Abner was sure that the mist that suddenly appeared was not an illusion, and inexplicably, he felt a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

While he was thinking, the heroic woman opposite seemed to come back to her senses. She nodded at Abner, who had transformed into Xiu, and said with a smile: "It's very similar, but a little taller."

After saying that, she stopped staying and walked towards an office building in the base.

I also know it's a bit high...but with my current ability to simulate it, there's really nothing I can do!

Abner cursed, and while boarding the carriage he called when he came, he thought:

Judging from her appearance and clothing, she should be Hugh's boss, the youngest sister of George III, Her Royal Highness Vera.

She recognized that I was pretending but didn't expose it? Is it because of Xio?

However, this princess who has never appeared in the original work may have quite a secret...

What is that mist? It feels both familiar and dangerous to me... Could it be something left by a previous time traveler?

With doubts in his mind, Abner made today's "prophecy", but failed to get any results...

He was suddenly shocked, because this meant that either there was a high-level power interfering with the princess's destiny, or her destiny was "hidden"...

No matter which one it is, it shows that this Princess Vera is not simple!

And such an extraordinary person seems to have a special regard for Xio... and even relies on him as a confidant... What is the reason? Is there anything special about Hugh?

As his thoughts were spinning, Abner did not return to the East District immediately. Instead, he asked the coachman to take him to the house rented by Hugh and Forsi in the Jowood District.

At the same time, Her Royal Highness Vera sighed slightly as she entered the office building and said silently to herself:

“It turns out it’s really him!

"Haha, Hermes tested him for a long time and actually ruled him out...

"not the right time yet……

"At least wait until he becomes a demigod..."

…

Chorwood District, Minsk Street 15.

Klein went down to the first floor and sat in the living room, feeling the warmth from the fireplace.

He rocked quietly in the easy chair, not reading a newspaper, flipping through a magazine, or reading a book.

He was waiting for the arrival of Miss Sharon... He was about to leave Backlund, and there were some things he needed to discuss with her, so he sent an invitation to meet her through Mr. Fool.

Just when Klein estimated that Miss Sharon was about to arrive, the sound of the doorbell jingled.

Huh? Doesn’t Miss Sharon always knock on the window every time she comes over? Why did you ring the doorbell this time? Hmm...maybe not Sharon?

Klein, who was wearing a home shirt and cashmere vest, stood up and walked outside. In the process, the visitors predicted by the "Joker" ability were somewhat unexpected.

He opened the door and chuckled:

"Good afternoon, Emlyn, shouldn't you be helping at Harvest Church at this time?"

The person who came was none other than Emlyn White, a handsome and somewhat feminine vampire with slicked back hair.

Upon hearing Klein's greeting, the arrogant-looking guy's expression suddenly froze, and he finally recovered.

"I have something to ask you, Sherlock, Moriarty, detective!" Emlyn spat out word by word.

After inviting him into the living room, Klein returned to the easy chair and asked with a smile:

"What's the matter? The consultation fee is 1 pound, but it cannot exceed 1 hour."

Emlyn White didn't pay attention to his words and said thoughtfully:

"A big shot asked me to do something... Although that thing can help me solve hidden dangers, it also contains high risks.

"I don't have many friends, and I'm afraid that my parents will worry, and you are an experienced Beyonder detective... What suggestions do you have? Refuse, or accept?"

Another big shot? I've been a bit allergic to this term lately...after all, nothing good comes out of hearing it...except when the other person pays, of course.

But the big man Emlyn was talking about obviously couldn't be Prince Edsac...who could it be? A senior member of the vampire clan? Klein considered and said:

"With only the word 'thing', I can't give any advice."

Emlyn White was silent for several seconds, gritted his teeth, and lowered his voice:

"It has something to do with the 'Fool'..."

"Huh?" Klein almost thought he heard wrong. After confirming that the other party was indeed "The Fool", he used casually compiled data to scare the vampire in front of him, allowing him to more intuitively recognize a great man of unknown origin. How dangerous is the existence? We advise them to give up their thoughts as soon as possible, or find another way to solve the spiritual implications of believing in the "Mother Goddess of the Earth".

For this reason, he did not hesitate to insult himself a few times.

After listening to this, Emlyn pondered with a heavy expression for more than ten seconds, and then said:

"If I choose to try, it will definitely not be for myself, but for the entire vampire race! Taking the opportunity to ask for the faith of the Mother Goddess of the Earth is just incidental..."

For the benefit of the tribe? This routine is so familiar... Mr. "The Hanged Man" also used this excuse when he tricked "The Sun" into fishing during exploration...

It's just that one instigates others to take risks, and the other instigates others to fish...

Therefore, this child must have been deceived! Klein came to a conclusion in his mind and laughed:

"A weak vampire has a chance to save the entire tribe. Do you believe it?"

"Vampire, Vampire!" Emlyn emphasized, "Besides, my strength is not bad either. I am equivalent to your human Sequence 7, and I am good at fighting!"

After saying that, he stood up to say goodbye, leaving behind the words "The suitcase from the last transaction of materials as a consultation deduction" and left Klein's residence.

Only then did Klein react. He muttered mentally: "Mr. Tower lost several suitcases and didn't ask me for them... In comparison, he is really a stingy vampire..."

But before he finished speaking, Klein suddenly caught a glimpse of Miss Sharon's figure already appearing on the sofa from the corner of his eye. She was making herself a cup of black tea and taking a sip.

Seeing Klein looking over, she put down the tea cup and said meaningfully: "Praying to Mr. Fool is equivalent to..."

This is what Klein said when he was cheating on himself just now. She did not repeat it completely, so as not to be disrespectful to Mr. Fool.

Miss, when did you come and how much did you hear? Klein immediately smiled awkwardly and explained:

"I just want to dispel his thoughts...and Mr. Fool won't mind..."

Sharon shook her head and whispered: "Believe in the power of the gods... Whether to accept him or not is Mr. Fool's decision to make, not you."

But don’t you believe in the mercy of the gods? I've heard this "proverb"...but I do make decisions for myself.

Knowing that Sharon had good intentions and worried that he had lost his "favor", Klein did not argue, but instead said in a good-natured manner: "I will pay attention to it."

Afterwards, knowing what Sharon needed to wait for in Backlund, Klein, who would not leave easily, entrusted some of his unfinished business to the other party.

For example, regularly paying old Kohler an informant fee, such as managing part of his stock in the bicycle company, such as continuing to monitor Pound from Baron...

Sharon also wrote down everything carefully and reassured him.

After explaining these things and seeing Miss Sharon about to leave, Klein smiled and said:

"I want to tell you in advance, Happy New Year.

"At the same time, please give this blessing to Maric."

Sharon was silent for two seconds, pursed her lips, and responded in an erratic voice:

"Happy New Year."

After saying that, her figure gradually faded and disappeared into room 1.

…

In the place abandoned by the gods, in the final hall with the altar underneath the Temple of the True Creator, Derrick once again saw the little boy crying "Please help me."

While the chief was pondering the sentence, he took the lead in asking about the origin of the little boy - he came across the sea by boat from Enmatt Port.

And just as Abner and Alger expected, the words "Enmat Harbor" and "Sea" uttered from the boy's mouth seemed to open up a picture of a new world in front of Chief Colin, allowing him to finally see the Silver City. hope for the future.

Then, based on the boy's memories, he deduced that in order to reach the seaside, he needed to pass through the ruins of the "Giant King's Court"!

But at this time, Derrick took out the gear book and asked the little boy:

"Do you remember it?

"If you remember, can you tell me where you picked it up?"
