Mystery: Start with the Reader

At ten o'clock in the evening, after the dance at Earl Cross's Mansion.

Abner hid his true body in the "Answer Space", and the "Lust" clone followed the original owner's habit and ordered the embassy's coachman to park the carriage at the entrance of a remote alley nearby.

The coachman was not surprised by this. It was normal for the envoy to take a certain lady back after the ball and banquet.

Soon, Vera in a dress appeared at the other end of the alley, came closer in a few steps, opened the door and boarded the carriage.

As for "Lazy", "Greedy", "Arrogant" and "Black Knight" Cero, they have already used their own methods to leave.

——Since these foreign demigods have been exposed to the sight of the Loen royal family, it is better to leave as soon as possible.

After all, they were just helpers invited by Owen. Loen officials were not at ease with them, let alone welcomed them.

There is a small bar in the carriage, which contains prepared distilled liquors such as Gin Longzi and Winter Blackland, as well as various red and white wines from Intis. Abner does not know if anyone is still monitoring it. , so he followed Owen's example and poured a glass of red wine for Vera, who took the initiative to sit next to her.

Her Highness Vera took a sip and then whispered: "There was indeed someone watching here just now...but now there is no more."

Abner was a little relieved, but still managed Owen's attitude, and he and Vera drank and chatted, but the atmosphere gradually became ambiguous - of course, this was Abner's intention and the result of Vera's full cooperation.

As a "detective" who can "backtrack", Abner will not take it lightly just because no one is observing.

And when Owen is not affected by the sealed objects and not dominated by the "lust" mask, he is still a gentleman on the surface, at least he will not do anything like touching the carriage.

So drinking and chatting is considered normal operation.

…

In the previous alley, an MI9 agent watched Mrs. Wei get into Owen's carriage and sent this information directly to his superiors. The superiors did not dare to delay and quickly reported it to the chief of the palace guard, Ste. Viscount Ford.

The Viscount entered the palace overnight and met with King George III.

After sending his men away, George III looked through the information collected from all over the place and sneered:

"For Vera, Lust actually summoned five demigods and an angel... What a generous act!

"It seems that even if Vera is prepared, she will not be able to escape the fate of being manipulated this time.

"In the future, we can gradually loosen the supervision and restrictions on her...

"Also, I need to let Owen check out what is the reason why I feel uneasy every time I see her.

"Oh, I really want to directly agree to Owen's request and marry Vera to Intis... Unfortunately, most of the royal family does not agree..."

…

Inside the Intis Embassy in the West District, Abner, smelling of alcohol, walked into the door with Vera in his arms.

Speaking of which, the last time Abner came here was to assassinate Beckron, but this time he changed his identity and became the owner of the embassy.

Shaking their heads and throwing away the messy thoughts, Abner and Vera returned to the living room.

After sending away the servants, Abner asked Vera to enter the bedroom on one side first, while he himself came to the other side of the living room, skillfully opened the mechanism according to memory, and entered a room decorated with various guardian rituals. in the secret room.

Using his own blood to temporarily turn off the effect of the ritual, Abner picked up a spiritually sealed metal box from the central "altar".

He casually lifted the ban and opened the box. A pair of eyeballs made of various color blocks appeared in front of Abner's eyes.

This is the "Eye of Aasimar", one of the main materials for the "Reader" path sequence 3 "Insighter"!

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 and angels in the Kingdom of True God. .

Valley

According to rumors, as long as a traveler who strays into the star realm gets favored by Asmo and completes its test, the other party will give his eyes to the traveler to help him return to the real world.

"Irving asked Catalina to kill the Archbishop of the Surrey family. The main purpose was to obtain the 'Eye of Asmo'...

"And he planned Vera so carefully because of the possible existence of the 'Mist Demon' in Vera's hands. Its complete brain is another main material for the 'Insighter'.

"But the black mist that Vera showed in the underground theater before doesn't seem like the 'Fog Demon'... Did Owen admit his mistake?

"No, the mist he saw on Vera in his memory was not the one I saw before...

"Vera can control a variety of mist? The form is variable?

"Hmm... Uncertain... Vera is suspected to be a member of the Tamara family... Uncertain Mist?!"

Thinking of this, I felt that I had vaguely touched the secret of Vera, and I also made some guesses about the friendly attitude she showed.

The "Uncertain Mist" and the Tamara family appeared at the end of the original work when the earth's barrier became weaker, so they should not appear during this time period.

Therefore, more than 90% of the time, Her Highness Vera came from the past time traveler "Butterfly"... As I guessed before, she is similar to Lilith and the goddess. She recognized the "Pure White Eyes", so she is extremely interested in me. trust?

You can really find traces of your predecessors everywhere... This is even stronger than Russell's presence!

After complaining helplessly in his heart, Abner sealed the box containing the "Eye of Asmo" again and put it into the "Answer Maze".

Speaking of which, after making Owen's clone and verifying the secret that he had perfected, Abner could completely use him, then let the clone die and take out the "Manipulator" characteristics for his own promotion across channels.

But it is a pity that the gods behind the scenes and the previous time travelers may not allow him to do this. After all, what they want to cultivate is a "reader" saint or even an angel!

What's more, the materials and characteristics of "Dream Weaver" are even harder to find. Even Owen is desperate and has to consider jumping to "Insighter"...

And as long as I stick to the "reader" path, at least the road to angels will be paved...

Sighing, Abner studied the necklace-shaped sealed object called "Proof of Lost Heart" for a while, then exited the secret room and sealed it again.

As for other extraordinary items? Then there is nothing left...

For this plan to ambush Vera, Owen spent all his wealth, materials, items, and even favors accumulated over the years in exchange for "arrogance," "greed" and "laziness."

And asking an angel to take care of him would wipe out his many years of contribution to the "Psychological Alchemy Society"!

“There are also the conditions agreed to by George III. Thinking about it makes one’s head ache, it’s also a big mess!

"Fortunately, according to my plan, the Delien family will soon decline. You can't blame me if you fail to meet those conditions..."

With a hint of melancholy, Abner entered the bedroom from the living room. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Princess Vera waiting here, who had taken off her dress, with her long golden hair hanging loose, and came forward wearing only a silk nightgown. .

Different from Xio's plain appearance when she was wearing a nightgown, this princess had a graceful outline. Although not much white skin was exposed, it was still very attractive.

Seeing this, even with Owen's memory, Abner didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

After all, those memories were more like third-person "little movies" and didn't have much reality for him at all.

Moreover, this is not as peaceful as when studying "academic" issues in the past...

Vera, on the other hand, didn't care much and said with a smile: "Actually, according to Owen's habit, you have to prepare another set of clothes for me when I leave tomorrow.

"As for the previous dress, you have to tear it to avoid exposing any flaws."

Miss, you know better than me, the person who has Owen's memory! As expected of the spy chief of MI9, he has even investigated these things clearly...
