Mystery: Start with the Reader

In the middle of the Northern Continent, at the beginning of the Honakis Mountains, is a plateau with a dry climate. Most of it belongs to the Kingdom of Feneport, with the Republic of Titus to the west and the Kingdom of Loen to the east. The indigenous people are skinny. Being barbaric but brave and good at fighting has been one of the most troublesome problems in the three countries for a long time in the past. However, with the improvement of gunpowder weapons and the changes in the form of warfare, these plateau people finally recognized the reality clearly and surrendered completely.

Linn City is located at the junction of the eastern plains and plateaus. It is named because it is adjacent to Linn Volcano. It is a city that has developed based on natural resources and tourism.

Natural resources refer to the fertile land formed by the accumulation of sulfur ore and volcanic ash. The former is an important raw material in the industrial era, and the latter makes Lynn famous for its cash crops.

As for tourism, it relies on the large and small hot spring pools in the mountains.

Even the name Lin En was the name given by the plateau people to the goddess of the pool they believed in...

Of course, a place with such good conditions has naturally been completely occupied by the Loen people. At least after Abner and others got off the train, they did not see a few thin and strong people with dark skin and eye sockets that were much sunken than those of normal Kingdom people. A true plateau native.

"Abner, can you stay at a hot spring hotel tonight?" Forsi, who had been writing on the train for a day, seemed to finally be "alive" and asked eagerly.

On the surface, he was holding an umbrella, but actually he was using it as a cover. He used "water control" to isolate the ladies around him from the rain. Abner seemed a little absent-minded from the moment he got off the car. When he heard Forsi's question, he He squinted his eyes, then raised the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile: "Of course."

Elaine and Fanny didn't have any objections to this. They were tired from the journey and they really wanted to take a dip in the hot springs to relieve their fatigue. .

As for "Lion" Leon, he transformed into an "orange cat" and was currently slapping away a wild cat that wanted to get closer, seemingly not caring about their conversation.

This made the three ladies who knew its details speechless: Are you a lion bullying a cat?

Only Abner glanced at the wild cat, but quickly looked away, and then stopped a cab on the roadside.

"Sir, ladies, welcome to Linn. Where are you going?" The coachman asked politely after looking at the clothes of several people.

He has a typical Loen-like appearance, but he is thin and has dark skin. He may be of mixed race.

"Do you have any recommendations for a quiet hot spring hotel?" Abner asked casually.

The coachman's eyes flashed, and he replied with a smile: "I recommend 'Gentle Words' to you. It's not far from the city, it's very quiet, and it won't delay your return to the train tomorrow morning. And it's of a very high quality. The quality of the hot springs is also of high quality, suitable for your status, and will definitely satisfy you and your wife.”

"Yes, let's go there." Abner did not explain anything deliberately, but directly took out a 1 pound note and handed it to the other party, "No need to look for it, just use it as consumption."

It will also be considered as your funeral expenses... Abner did not say this.

After three people and a cat entered the carriage and the carriage started in the rain, the wild cat that had been looking here ran into a dark alley and jumped into a broken mirror standing next to a garbage dump. inside.

In the mirror was a small space of only two meters square, and a rather slovenly middle-aged and elderly man was eating a human finger.

After the wild cat jumped into the mirror, it shouted to the man in a rather unkind tone: "Herta, you must leave that orange cat to me from now on! If you dare to slap me... I will eat it in front of it." Remove all its entrails!"

"Is that an extraordinary animal?" The man named Herta stopped eating and asked without much expression.

"An ordinary orange cat doesn't have that much strength to beat me away... It may have taken a potion to increase its physique, and its ranking shouldn't be too high." The wild cat made its own judgment. After all, the other party had already photographed it. It was obviously quite malicious, but it had no warning... This shows that the orange cat's strength is very low, so low that it poses no threat to it.

It paused and then added: "They got on Gerth's carriage and were probably going to Tender Words."

"'Tender Words'... Cecia's territory... It seems that Himmel and Balu who were preparing to ambush in the city have failed." Herta showed an evil smile, seeming to laugh at that person. Three competitors.

"Aren't you just as disappointed?" Wild Cat also mocked him.

"I am the 'Mirror Apostle', the devil in the mirror. All the mirrors in the city are within the scope of my activities... Naturally, I am prepared everywhere." Herta retorted to Wild Cat habitually.

As a Sequence 5 member of the Beria family, he did not train many subordinates like other elders. He only had this demon cat as his assistant, but he worked with Jason Beria, the "Shadow Apostle" who died in Backlund. Have the same habits.

Different demons also have certain characteristics and different abilities.

"Do you want to go to 'Tender Words' and kill the detective first?" The wild cat pulled out a bloody piece of meat with its paws and asked while licking it.

"That detective is not that simple. I'm afraid the one who strikes first will suffer a loss... It's better to let Cecia, Himmel and Balu test his background first." Herta touched the wild cat's head when he said this. , then said, "What's more, I don't care too much about those idiots... My only opponent is the one who hides in the dark and is good at nightmares."

…

In the moving carriage compartment, Abner and "Lion" Lyon, one used the secret technique "Shield of Glory" in tacit agreement to cover the surroundings, while the other simulated an illusion and appeared in front of the three ladies.

After confirming that no one could peep, the man and the lion looked at each other and started talking.

"Have you noticed the danger hidden in this storm?" "Lion" Leon spoke first.

Abner glanced at it, and he didn't expect that the lion who was led astray by Russell was also very artistic... But after thinking about it for a while, he realized it and said directly: "The following sentence is your prophecy 'The revelation you got, right?"

When the lion heard this, his expression was quite humane, and then he changed the subject nonchalantly and said, "You will directly make the demons feel the danger."

Abner pointed at the secret technique "Twilight Shield" condensed around him and introduced: "This is the secret technique I obtained from the characteristics when I was promoted to 'Secret Technique Instructor'. It can simulate a trace of 'twilight'." 'the power of,"

"Later, when I was creating a transformation... when I was creating an extraordinary item, the materials I used were also contaminated by 'Twilight'. I got inspiration from there and improved the 'Shield of Glory', giving it a certain degree of The ability to block the devil’s sense of danger.”

"I see, you were the one who killed Backlund's 'Desire Apostle'... That unlucky guy must have been injured by '1-42' before. Your inspiration came from the ancient god's blood stains on Na's armor, right?" Leon said deliberately with a look of surprise.

Abner asked in surprise: "Roselle once got '1-42'?" Otherwise, how could you know so well?

"Lion" Leon shook his head and said: "It was Russell who asked Zaratul to show him many sealed objects and magical items in order to accumulate experience during the 'Artisan' stage... You should understand that for the 'Diviner' path, For angels, as long as they have seen it and understood it, they can take it out at any time..."

Historical projection... No wonder you are so familiar with it... Abner stopped dwelling on this topic and asked instead, "Besides that sentence, what other revelations have you received?"

"No, but I just discovered the devil's peek, but that wild cat is probably just a follower and doesn't know any plans." "Lion" Leon shook his head and asked Abner again, "What about you? What prophecy did you receive?"

It knew that Abner had the ability to "prophesy".

"I did not make a 'prophecy'..." Abner shook his head, then took out the "magic mirror" and continued, "I relied on the danger perception of the 'devils' grazing in it to directly know the origins of those demons. , and what they want to do.”
