Mystery: Start with the Reader

Is it possible to be "contaminated" if you know it? It sounds like "Liu Bo" is a very talented fellow... I'm afraid this is the power of a true god, right?

Well, according to the occult knowledge I have, the honorable and true names of angels and even gods can leverage a certain degree of natural power. This is equivalent to borrowing "mystery" and "power" from the other party... Of course, the premise is It was they who agreed...

If you disagree, you will be punished by them.

For example, I previously wanted to use the mystical connection of the "Witch" card to let the spirit of the spirit inscribe the true name, and leverage the power of the "Original Witch" Chic, the only one whose true name I know... But after thinking about it, I felt that it was still too much. If there is too much danger, there will be no practice... Because it is more likely that when I engrave my honorable name and true name, the "original witch" will lower my power and drain it on the spot... After all, this is a very, very accurate supernatural pointing...

Liu Bo's situation should be similar to this. If he acquiesces, you can know, otherwise he will be "contaminated"... Well, the so-called "contamination" should also be a manifestation of his certain power, right?

But when did he acquiesce to my knowledge?

Thinking of this, Klein recalled Russell's diary, the carrier of his knowledge of Liu Bo, and his heart suddenly became enlightened, and he thought:

"Yes, the 'Seal of Disaster' has been with Russell for so long, and he must know his habit of writing diaries in Chinese... and the 'Seal of Disaster' did not prevent Russell from writing about 'Liu Bo', so naturally It is a tacit agreement that everyone who can understand Chinese is qualified to know!"

Klein originally wanted to ask how Liu Bo's "pollution" was manifested, but Spirit realized that "Arrodes" was indeed extremely afraid of issues related to him, so he used words that fit Gelman's character. He said in a tone: "Then let me change the question, where can I get the magic potion formula of the 'Cunning Mage'?"

The name "Magic Master" was told to him by the "Red Angel" evil spirit underground on Williams Street. After possessing the characteristics of "Secret Puppet Master" and knowing how to get rid of the spirit within, Klein naturally had to prepare for the subsequent formula.

The white paper in the ticker was spit out for a long length, filled with countless complex symbols, and then formed a mirror, showing a real scene:

It was a deep hall with no natural light source, and there was a huge squirming thing inside. It was so blurry that it was like a pencil drawing erased by an eraser, and no specific details could be seen at all.

However, Arrodes included a large paragraph of text below this scene:

"This is Zaratul. He lost control during the promotion to Sequence 1 'Servant of Secrets' and turned into a monster. However, he seems to have been transferred to the palace in the picture by a certain existence, but who did it? I can't see where it moved.

"Except for Him, you can't get the potion formula from any demigod in the Secret Order, because Zaratul was originally a high-sequence potion directly provided, and there is almost no way to reverse divination through extraordinary characteristics."

The answer was so detailed, and it also let me know additionally that Sequence 1 corresponding to the "Soothsayer" path is "Servant of Mysteries"... Does it mean the angel who serves the mysteries? It seems that in the path of the Secret Order, you can only get the potion formula by facing Zaratul directly, and I can't even look directly at him...

Klein was moved by Arrods. If he hadn't felt that he didn't have the qualifications and strength to control this sealed artifact, he would have truly considered him as his servant.

Immediately afterwards, Arrods showed the Antigonus family treasure hidden in the main peak of the Honakis Mountains and the Antigonus family notes in the Chanis Gate of St. Samuel's Church in Backlund. .

Klein recognized them at a glance. After all, the former appeared in his dream divination, and the latter was the main cause of the death of the original owner of the body.

Going round and round, everything is back to where it started!

Klein watched quietly for a while, and when the screen disappeared, he found his own thoughts and asked thoughtfully: "Isn't there a chance to obtain the 'Cunning Mage' potion formula in the 'Dream Maze Tower'?"

The sound of clicking jumped briskly, and the illusory mirror-like white paper in front disappeared, and the ordinary white paper with text on it was spit out: "Are you talking about the 'Dream Maze Tower' built by Russell?"

Sure enough, it was built by that guy Russell... Although I had guessed it for a long time, it was finally confirmed. With this thought in his mind, Klein nodded and replied succinctly: "Yes."

"Although I can't see clearly the inside of the 'Dream Maze Tower', I know that its mechanism for providing information is similar to mine, and it cannot directly give specific formulas for the demigod level and above... Therefore, what it can do The answer given will not be more than mine." With a clicking sound, Arrodes gave the answer.

Similar to Arrodes? Indeed, one needs to go through levels to get the knowledge and information you want, and the other needs to answer shameful questions, that is, the "Dream Maze Tower" has more punishment methods and richer functions... but the formula at the demigod level It cannot be displayed directly, but can only provide clues... Is this because the knowledge of the demigod level itself is "mysterious" and can easily attract high-level beings?

While thinking about it, Klein said "hmm" and said to the radio receiver:

"It's your turn to ask questions."

Click, click, click. As expected, Arrodes used the radio receiver to type out a simple smiley face and a line of words:

"I have asked and you have answered."

This... the feeling of being licked is indeed very comfortable! Although he had expected it, but compared to the tragic experience of the "Mechanical Heart" deacon Ikanser, Klein still felt a sense of relief.

He glanced at the content in front of the white paper and saw the question that had appeared on it: "Can you change the question?" "Is it the 'Dream Maze Tower' built by Russell?"

It turned out to be the answer here... The rules of this thing are very free to prove...

Before Klein could speak again, Arrods suddenly typed:

"The aura above the spiritual world is about to disappear. I am waiting for the next opportunity to serve you, the great master."

After spitting out this illusory white page, the radio receiver stopped and lost the deep and dark feeling.

If you want to contact Magic Mirror Arrodes again, how many days must you throw the radio receiver above the gray fog? Klein grasped the key to the problem at once, but he also realized the risks involved. After all, there are many people staring at the aura of "gray mist". In the distance there is the "True Creator", and nearby there may be the "Original Creator" whose plan was ruined. The "Witch" and the "Angel of Fantasy" behind the "Twilight Hermits".

However, the Earth Mother Goddess and the ancestor of the blood clan who are suspected of "investing" in me have little power on the sea...

Fortunately, with "Creeping Hunger" and "Funeral Blade", I have the power to protect myself.

Thinking of this, Klein flipped through the papers that Arrodes had asked Daniz about before he came. Then he had to suppress the corners of his mouth and quietly took a deep breath.

“…Is this ‘leaking out’ all the little tricks he did behind Edwina’s back?

"He should realize that the newly added 'Grammar' course taught by Talim on the Golden Dream is because the love letter he wrote was picked up by 'Vice Admiral Iceberg', right?"

At this time, Klein, who was trying hard to maintain his character, looked at the door of the cabin, and at Danitz who had left and returned, wanting to "destroy all traces" of those problems.

…

Backlund steam train station at noon on Wednesday.

On the platform, Abner, Forsi, disguised Fanny and Elaine, and "Lion" Leon, who had transformed into an orange cat, were waiting to board the train, while Xio, Hazel, Eitris, and Scudder The couple came to see them off.

——Emlyn didn't come. His friendship with Abner could only be described as average, which was not enough for him to give up the opportunity to "cheat" funds from the Vampire Clan.

Among them, Forsi temporarily joined the team heading to Intis.

The lion seemed to have heard about her habit of procrastinating manuscripts, so he asked her to stay with him and finish writing the manuscript before letting her go.

Fors didn't really want to go, but after hearing that the "Flesh Trigger" had to eat 50 kilograms of meat, she had to beg Abner to take her to Pulitzer and deliver the sealed artifact to her teacher Dorian overnight. , unexpectedly got a mission from the other party... The location of that mission was in a small town in Intis.

Therefore, after carefully weighing it, Fors decided to join Abner's team. In addition to writing books and completing tasks, he could also perform "tricks" and digest potions along the way, which could be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

As for Fanny, the Surrey family can no longer take care of Loen's property. Once she leaves Abner's protection, she may be in danger. Moreover, her enemy Johnson has also returned to Trier, so she naturally chooses to follow Abner. Let’s go to Intis together.

Woo! As the whistle sounded, the boiler at the front of the steam train began to warm up, and passengers gradually boarded the train.

After saying goodbye to his friends, Abner, three ladies and an "orange cat" entered the private compartment of the first-class carriage and waited for the train to start.

Since there were no electric lights or similar devices in this world, there were almost no steam trains carrying people after dark, so they would spend the night in Bukensburg tonight and set off again early tomorrow morning, stopping only in the capital of Severas County at noon. After staying in Las Vegas for two hours in the west, it will arrive in Lynn, a small town in the central and western part of the county, on Thursday night.

After passing Linn, they still had to travel for nearly two days before they could actually enter Intis and arrive at the border port city of Tosk, which is the city where "Lieutenant General Iceberg" and Abner agreed to meet, and it is also the city where Sasha The place where the Li family was originally settled by Russell.

…

Just as Abner and others were boarding the car, in a Gothic castle on the outskirts of Lynn, West Veras County, a bloodless palm took a letter from the "messenger".

"Intercepting Detective Abner Bryan and his party in Silveras?"

A sulfur-smelling flame ignited, burning the letter to ashes.
