Mystery: Start with the Reader

However, it is not difficult to guess Lao Huang's purpose... For him who has become "cold", there are only three possibilities:

The first is to get rid of one's own pollution; the second is to resurrect; the third is to sell well to time-travelers like me or Mr. "Fool" and help him resurrect in the future.

Even if he is contaminated, these three thoughts will not change much. There may only be problems in the process or results. . .

But even if the purpose is known, based on the information currently available, it is still impossible to deduce what he arranged in "Grossell's Travels"... Well, the superficial fantasy world in the travel notes should be nothing special... A reasonable guess is that , his arrangement is in the divine kingdom of the fantasy dragon hidden deep in the travel notes - Levished.

As his mind was spinning, Abner picked up the "wrong" card again.

The portrait of Russell on the card was not wearing a monocle as Abner had guessed, but it still gave people a somewhat uncomfortable feeling - whether it was the smile at the corner of his mouth or the look in his eyes.

What's even more weird is that when you look at this card from different angles, you can see many completely different "Roselles", some old and some young, some men and some women... They look different, but each appearance makes you... You think that's "Roselle".

In the middle and lower part of the bust, this "weird" Russell is holding three translucent bugs with twelve links in his hands, which are like three hands of hours, minutes and seconds.

This card is still in the "sealed" state, so it does not reveal the "wrong" path of the potion formula.

Holding this "blasphemous card", Abner tried to use various languages ​​​​to say "Amon", "bug", "Bernadette", "Isabella" and other words, but failed to get Respond to…

Suddenly, he glanced at Russell's gloomy expression on the card and the "shape" holding the "Insect of Time"... His heart moved and he said in Chinese: "Panda burns incense."

But unfortunately, the cards still showed no response...

"It seems that even Russell won't be so boring..." After Abner sighed, he planned to give up this baseless speculation for the time being.

But at this time, Edwina, who had been watching him try, said thoughtfully: "The mysterious person who gave the notebook to Longzel's family left a sentence on the page with this card. …

"It says: 'The biggest mistake of my life, I need you to redeem me.'"

The biggest mistake in life that needs you to redeem yourself? The biggest mistake in life...

According to my inference, 80% of the people who first came to the Longzel family were the "Disaster Seal". Its purpose should be to take away "Grossell's Travels" and make an unknown transaction with the Dragon of Fantasy... ...and leaving something to Long Zell's family may be done casually, maybe for layout... Of course, it may also be to make up for some regrets in the original work, it's impossible to say.

But later Russell obviously tampered with his arrangement and used it for his own use... Therefore, the subject of this "biggest mistake" should refer to Russell himself...

Thinking of this, Abner took a breath and said in Intis language: "Moon landing!"

For Russell, this was his biggest "mistake", a mistake that cost him everything. It was perfect to use it as an unblocking spell for the "wrong" card.

Sure enough, as soon as his voice fell, he felt the cards in his hand sink, and then a clear light rose up little by little, and a line of text gradually condensed:

"Sequence 0: Error!"

Although Abner had expected it, he still couldn't hide his joy as he looked at the thing in his hand, turned the pages page by page, and wrote down the recipe.

After that, he mobilized the authority of the "Answer Maze" and "purchased" the "Isolation Package" on the occult level for it, and then handed the cards back to Edwina.

Seeing this, Edwina's light blue and clear eyes immediately lit up. She looked through the names and brief introductions of each sequence before continuing to tell her experience:

"After getting the 'Error' card and the note left by the mysterious man in Longzel's Dixi hometown, I temporarily 'invited' Captain Alanson back to the 'Golden Dream' to prevent him from reporting to the church... …

"After that, while I asked Daniz to send you a message, I came to Tosk myself and used the records in that notebook to look for the so-called 'ritual place'.

"Ultimately, I determined it was somewhere beneath the Surrey family's ancestral home."

The ancestral home of the Surrey family... I remember during the last tarot meeting, Klein told me that Russell once buried a treasure in the Surrey family... Could this be what he was referring to?

Well, maybe the Emperor did indeed bury the treasure at the beginning, but after he returned from the moon landing, his temperament had undergone a major change, and he had lost part of his family ties, and completely used the Sari bloodline as a tool for resurrection... Therefore , and changed the treasure into a resurrection arrangement?

While Abner was thinking, he heard Edwina continue:

"Because the Archbishop of Tosk Steam Church was assassinated, the Surrey family's ancestral home was protected by the 'Machine Heart'... I didn't dare to get too close, so I could only use the nearby sewers to investigate the 'Ritual Place' bit by bit. The specific location...

"During this period, I was discovered by people from the Delien family and attacked for no reason... I tried my best to escape. If I hadn't been saved by the 'men in black', I might have fallen into their hands."

After listening to Edwina's straightforward explanation without much embellishment, Abner subconsciously made a suggestion: "Keeping your language interesting during lectures will help improve students' learning efficiency."

Edwina blinked her light blue eyes and almost failed to keep up with Abner's jumping thoughts at first. After she came to her senses, she thought seriously for a while, then nodded and said: "That makes sense... I will pay attention." of."

Then, he asked with some confusion:

"But if I don't teach in a cold and serious tone, their attention will be lost..."

That's because the main purpose of your crew's lessons is you, not knowledge... Abner swore secretly, but changed the topic on the surface: "Let's not discuss the teaching issue... I heard that Cero De who came to Tosk Lean is a playboy, maybe he is coveting you, so he sent someone to attack?"

"I don't think... the 'Blade of Soul and Flesh' that injured me was used by the 'Playboy' himself... He is completely different from the rumors." Edwina shook her head.

"The extraordinary items he used, or his own extraordinary abilities?" Abner asked, frowning.

He had always thought that the "fallen" power that injured Edwina was an ability stolen from elsewhere by Amon's clone.

"I'm not sure...but it tends to be his own ability." Edwina thought for a while and replied.

In other words, that "Cero Delion" is at least a "Black Knight"?

What's going on with this family? There are "Iron-Blooded Knights" or "War Bishops" family heads who have lived from the Russell period to the present, and later there are family members who have believed in the "Eternal Blazing Sun" and become "Undark Ones".

That's fine, but it's surprising that the prime minister's direct lineage actually hooks up with the North family and the "Mother Tree of Desire"... The prime minister's biological son, who people originally thought was a "playboy", still believes in it "True Creator"? !

Finally, Owen, another direct member of this family, joined the "Psychological Alchemy Society" and became the "Lust" of the Supreme Council... He was also suspected of being a member of the "Twilight Hermits" and became a subordinate of "Adam"... …

This is a multi-party bet... Aren't you afraid of losing?

It’s simply more “jumping” than me! After all, none of the people their family took refuge in were easy to get along with...

While Abner was speechless, he wanted to ask for more details, but suddenly he noticed that Edwina's breathing gradually became evener... She actually fell asleep leaning against the bed.

Also, although I used rituals to help her get rid of the "fallen" power in her spirit, this process also consumed a lot of her energy... When she talked to me before, she was mostly holding on.

And her mental weakness will take at least a day or two to fully recover. I can take advantage of this time to complete the investigation work that she has not completed before... As for the Delien family, since the "man in black" is Russell If you deliberately stay in Tusk, you will naturally block those who hinder Russell's "plan".

"However, I don't have the same worries as Edwina when I want to find the so-called 'ritual place'. After all, with Fanny's relationship, I can definitely live in the Surrey family's ancestral home and slowly dig..."

After muttering silently to himself, Abner covered Lieutenant General Iceberg with the quilt, and then left the "Mirror Mansion" and returned to the real hotel.

Then he looked at the clock and found that it was still early. He planned to have a meal first and then go to the steam train station to pick up the train.

…

Rosted Islands, Simim Island.

The "Black Death" is anchored in the lee of this island at the farthest end of the Rhoad Islands, with towering stone cliffs behind it and undulating waves below.

Klein saw "Vice Admiral Disease" Tracy wave to him and promised to go back to find the death documents. Then he jumped off the stone cliff and returned to the "Black Death".

Watching the sailboat, which was completely black and had a huge white flag with a skull flying on its mast, leaving, Klein was a little confused under his "cold" expression.

Goddess, he came here to hunt "Lieutenant General of Disease" Tracy, but how did he join forces with her to repel her mother... No, according to her, that was her mother, the former dad……

In short, in order to protect the ordinary people in the hospital, he had to save Tracy, who had been captured by her mother, and together with her, they forced back the powerful "Despair Witch" and her men.

Although in order to thank him for saving her, Tracy agreed to help find the batch of documents stolen by "Hurricane Admiral", which was considered to have achieved her goal... but she still felt that something was not right.

Could it be that he took Prince Edsac's "Witch" card and inherited some of his traits?

Aggregation effect?

But I obviously only used that card once...
