Mystery: Start with the Reader

"The danger comes from Intis?" Abner frowned, and suddenly remembered the collusion between Baron Larry and the embassy attaché Bianca that Hugh had mentioned, and then came up with an idea: Could it be Intis? Do they want Mr. Sarri to take the blame? Is Fanny's danger just incidental?

With this thought in mind, Abner also threw out this guess.

After hearing this, Mr. Surrey smiled indifferently and said: "Our Surrey family occupies several seats in the parliament and is very influential... Even if we are looking for scapegoats, we will not be found, because this requires sacrifice The price is too high.

"After all, there is another saint from the Church of Steam whose surname is Surrey."

After the assassination of the previous ambassador, even if the Sauron family, the former angel family, took the opportunity to cause trouble, they only wanted to use Mr. Surrey to suppress his son's rising momentum. They never considered bringing down the entire Surrey family. After all, the political effort involved The resources and benefits are too great, and it can easily lead to backlash.

Based on this consideration, Mr. Surrey just felt that the danger mentioned by Emma might be some kind of underhanded trick by political opponents.

Abner saw that he was very confident in his family. After thinking about it, he felt that it was right. There were so many suitable scapegoats, and there was no need for Intis to target a family with a saint.

After this matter came to an end, Abner took the opportunity to make a request to borrow the "workshop".

In this regard, Mr. Surrey agreed very generously, not only allowing Abner to use some of the auxiliary materials kept in the workshop, but also leaving his granddaughter Fanny as Abner's assistant.

This arrangement allows young people to communicate more and fulfill the granddaughter's wish; secondly, the workshop is the safest place in the entire villa. Even if an enemy invades, they will not be able to break through it for a while, Fanny It's safe and secure to stay here.

After Mr. Surrey winked at his granddaughter, he returned to his workshop with the dark mechanical doll and continued to study it.

As for Abner’s previous suggestion? He has no intention of adopting it at all... After all, "'Humanoid mecha' is the romance in the heart of every 'smart person'!" - Excerpted from Volume 6, Section 1 of "The Sayings of Emperor Russell".

In the workshop, while Fanny was helping Abner, she said with bright eyes: "Abner, thank you for coming as soon as you heard that I was in danger... I am very happy. "

"We are friends... My friend is in danger, and I have the ability to help. Naturally, I will not retract my hands into my sleeves and watch." After Abner took out the various materials he had prepared, he became familiar with the workshop. Facilities, he replied casually.

This is a famous quote from Emperor Russell, but... are they just friends? When Fanny was a little reluctant, she suddenly saw Abner putting a transparent lady's white robe and a special box on the workbench.

She was a little curious, and just about to ask, she heard the other party speak first: "Excuse me...how to drive the power core here?"

You can't let me boil water by myself, right?

"Just activate those flame runes..." Fanny replied with a slightly strange expression.

Isn't this the infrastructure of a steam workshop? All the workshops I've seen make preparations like this...

Is the heating device in the Abner workshop different?

…

West District, Intis Embassy, ​​in the envoy's bedroom.

As soon as "White Saint" Catalina saw the special envoy Mr. Owen walking in from the outside, under the influence of some kind of power, she had to look at him feverishly, as if the other person was everything to her.

Although she could clearly detect the abnormality of her emotions in her mind, she still could not control her behavior.

The other party's orders cannot be violated, and the other party's mission must be completed...

The "White Saint" who has lived for more than fifteen hundred years has never seen such a difficult and domineering sealed object.

She had previously seized the opportunity to pray to the Origin, asking Him to send grace to help her get rid of this influence, but unfortunately, she failed to receive any response.

After that, Owen added "commands" so that she could not even think about getting rid of control.

"Fortunately, as long as we stay away from that sealed object and no longer see Owen, this kind of fanaticism will gradually subside...

"It's just that if I can't disobey the 'order', I will come back to him sooner or later..."

Catalina calmly thought about countermeasures in her mind, but her body actively cooperated with Owen's "exploration" and peeled off pieces of clothing from her body...

After some strenuous exercise, Special Envoy Owen stroked the satin-smooth skin of the "White Saint" with one hand, and opened the metal box that the other party handed over upon his return with the other hand.

Inside the box is a pair of eyeballs made of various color blocks. They are mysterious and profound, giving people the feeling of being able to see through everything.

It is indeed the "Eye of Asmo"! Owen was delighted when he saw it, and subconsciously recalled the relevant information about this material in his mind:

Aasimo are a race of astral creatures, with blond hair and unusually beautiful humanoid women. They are calm, kind, and known for their "insight" into various rules. They are often assistants or apostles of gods or angels in the Kingdom of True God. .

It is said that as long as a traveler who strays into the star realm gets favored by Asmo and completes its test, the other party will give you his eyes to help you return to the real world.

"For this thing, you did not hesitate to give up a lot of benefits, collude with all parties, 'reasonably' destroy a family with a long history, hide its whereabouts... and also let me kill a saint of the Church of Steam... ...It’s really crazy!” Catalina’s face was still enthusiastic and her body was still cooperative, but her tone was full of ridicule.

Owen sneered and said:

"What do you know? The 'Eye of Aasmo' is one of the main materials of the 'Reader' path sequence 3 'Insighter'...

"If I don't hide my true purpose and let the news leak out, I'm afraid it will attract many competitors!"

Having said this, he sighed again and continued:

"Hey! There have been no clues about the characteristics or materials of the 'Dream Weaver' for many years. I can only risk jumping to the adjacent path...

“At this time, now that we know the whereabouts of one of the main materials, the ‘Eye of Asmo’, the other main material also happened to be revealed.

"Except for the complicated ceremony, all the conditions are almost completed... How do you think I can resist taking action?

"So, the only blame is that the old guy from the previous generation of the Surrey family got the favor of Asmo!"

Hearing his answer, Catalina's heart became cold. After all, the other party could tell her such confidential information without any scruples. This was by no means trust, but had no intention of letting her go free...

Although Catalina had never trusted the other party to fulfill her promise, this reality still made her quite angry.

But after all, she was the "Eternal Witch" who had lived for more than a thousand years. She quickly pretended not to hear anything and asked: "I have helped you kill the saints of the Church of Steam and retrieve the material. What do you want?" When will you really let me go?"

Owen smiled when he heard this and replied perfunctorily: "The contract we made before was that you can only be free after you help me collect all the potion ingredients... and now I only got one piece."

After speaking, he also pinched the soft side of Catalina as a gesture.

"What...what is the other piece of material? Do you have any definite clues?" Catalina took a deep breath and asked.

"The other main material is the 'complete brain of the Mist Demon'.

"I didn't know its whereabouts...

“But the mist displayed by Her Highness Vera of the Loen Royal Family when she clashed with ‘Arrogance’ is very similar to the ‘Mist Demon’!

“I plan to wait a few more days, and after the impact of the great smog has passed, I will propose a marriage request to Lun.

"If I can succeed, I will have enough confidence to capture her when she is not prepared! Of course, this requires your cooperation.

"If Luen refuses to marry, I will also look for a suitable opportunity to join forces with Pride and you to control the princess together!"

Owen didn't hide anything from Katrina and revealed his entire plan.

After all, in his understanding, it was impossible to escape from the control of that sealed object, and the "White Saint" would only be his possession until his death.

It’s just that the negative effects are too difficult to resist... If this continues, even if He helps seal it, I won’t be able to survive it...

We must advance to Sequence 3 as soon as possible!
