Start with the Readers Chapter 494: Leonard’s visit
"Name: Irresistible Fear
——Whether it is the enemy or yourself.
"Appearance: A pair of crystal glasses with a metal frame.
"Function: The wearer of these glasses can gain convincing charm and sufficient authority, be able to detect abnormal factors within a certain range, and grasp unobvious traces; when the distance is close enough, he can Reconnaissance senses unshielded things related to evil, chaos, and madness;
"Press and hold the button on the edge of the right frame of the glasses with your finger, you can cast a 'whip of pain' on the target reflected in the pupil, which can cause great and unstoppable mental damage to the target; hold the left side with your finger The button on the edge of the frame can cast a 'spiritual piercing' on the target reflected in the pupil, piercing the target's spirit body and directly attacking the target's spirit.
"Negative effect: The wearer will have unreasonable fear of 'toxin' and violent 'explosion', and as the wearing time prolongs, the fear will become more serious. If wearing it for more than half an hour, even Hearing the 'explosion' of balloons or smelling a faint smell of gas will cause them to lose their ability to move due to fear and can only tremble.
"If you just wear it, the above-mentioned negative effects will gradually recover after taking off the glasses; if you press the button on the edge of the frame to actively activate the 'spiritual piercing' or 'whip of pain', even if you take off the glasses, Fear will not disappear, and it must be recovered with supplementary 'psychotherapy' or 'immunity to fear'."
"How to use: When wearing glasses, apply the 'Immune Fear' of the 'Sun Priest' to yourself, which can effectively weaken the negative effects.
"Sealing method: put it in a metal container and seal it with spirituality."
Sitting at his desk, Abner was playing with the glasses in his hand while listening to the report given by Elaine on the opposite sofa.
It was already Wednesday afternoon at this time, and there were less than six hours before the extraordinary party at the "Fragrant Leaf Bar" at night, and the puppet "Sea Serpent" Weaver he had fostered before also reported the latest news.
This Weaver is very smart. In order not to expose the relationship between him and Abner, he sent a list to every faction that was invited to the meeting. items.
As for the one sent to Abner, there is one more document written in code language than other people.
This kind of code word was agreed upon by Weaver and Elaine when he came here last time - she helped "Vice Admiral Disease" Tracy deal with similar things when she was on the "Black Death", so she is no stranger to it .
"Weaver reported that there are three types of people who may provoke and make trouble at night parties.
"The first is that pirates or adventurers who are not invited, just happen to meet. They may be provocative because they don't obey the order established by the bar party, or just for the purpose of probing... This is every new event Weaver said that he had already made arrangements to deal with such people.
"Secondly, there are 'troublemakers' invited by competitors. They often pose some 'difficulties' to the party organizers and suppress the prestige of the party... In this regard, Weaver is not fully sure to solve it.
"The third and most unpredictable thing is that those who failed to compete with Weaver will come back to take revenge. Once they come back, they must have the confidence. Maybe they have something dangerous on them, or find some danger people."
After speaking, Elaine handed over the document she had "translated" to the desk.
Abner didn't take the document, just imitating the "fool", tapped the edge of the desk lightly with his finger, and said: "I will personally take over the latter two types of people...you Write a ciphertext in code language and hand it to the person sent by Weaver, and tell him not to worry."
"Yes, sir." Elaine nodded, wrote a reply letter in front of Abner, and then left the office and went to the living room on the first floor to find the messenger sent by Weaver.
At this moment, Winter, the manservant whom Abner accepted after coming to Bayam, knocked on the door and came in, reporting respectfully: "Sir, a man named Leonard Mitchell He said he was visiting on behalf of your friend Creste Secima."
Leonard? How did he come to visit me? Greetings instead of Cecima... Do I know that well with the guy who skipped meals?
Abner slandered, and roughly guessed what Cesima sent Leonard over...
This is a bit suspicious of me... That's right, after all, the places where "Detective Hero" and "Doctor Strange" almost coincided before, even if there were only two times, it may be a coincidence, and it is worth investigating. .
Thinking about it, Abner smiled and nodded:
"Sesima is indeed my friend... Well, it's almost tea time, let's make it a little earlier."
"Okay, I will invite that Mr. Leonard to the living room on the second floor." Winter understood the meaning of the employer without difficulty.
Abner nodded slightly, and didn't say any more. After Wente went down to make arrangements, he changed into slightly more formal clothes, strolled downstairs, and came to the living room.
Leonard has black hair and green eyes, wearing tight trousers that are easy to move, and a black windbreaker. He has an obvious poetic romantic temperament. He was sitting on the sofa in the living room in a daze, and saw Abner go After coming in, I came back to my senses, hurriedly stood up and greeted:
"You are 'Hero Detective' Mr. Abner Bryan, right? Nice to meet you, I am Leonard, a subordinate of Deacon Sesima."
"Welcome, Mr. Mitchell." Abner shook hands with the future Mr. "Star" equally enthusiastically, and then enjoyed the afternoon tea in the manor while "commercial exchange "stand up.
After getting a little familiar with some topics of local conditions and customs, Abner took the opportunity to praise Leonard's poetic temperament, and asked him to improvise a few songs with anticipation.
Regarding this, Leonard was so embarrassed that he wanted to dig out a hole and jump into it... After all, he didn't know why Sesima asked him to visit Abner, and he didn't have any friendship with the other party. It was just an awkward chat. Now, when it comes to writing poems, it will be even more difficult for him...
So, even though Leonard liked the desserts at Aroma Manor, he still excused himself on the pretext of business.
After Mr. Steward personally sent him out of the gate, the corners of Abner's mouth curled up slightly.
Seeing this, Elaine, who returned after finishing her work, couldn't help but tremble, wondering who her employer was planning to plot again... After all, he had shown such an expression to himself and Weaver back then.
…
On the other side, Leonard, who had just gotten into the carriage, was about to go to the telegraph office to send a message to Her Excellency Sesima in the Holy Church of Winter County, when he suddenly heard a slightly old voice in his mind:
"This 'heroic detective' reminds me of an acquaintance from Solomon's time..."
"You mean...'Detective Hero' was some old monster from the Fourth Epoch pretending to be?!" Leonard was startled when he heard this, lowered his head, and asked in a low voice.
"I just said that he reminded me of an acquaintance, not that he is an acquaintance..." That slightly old voice, that is, Pallez Zoroaster replied ~IndoMTL.com~ ...Old man, you almost scared me..." Leonard heaved a sigh of relief, and resumed his slightly sloppy posture before.
"However, he may have some relationship with my acquaintance...the temperament is five or six points similar; the way of speaking, aside from the difference in language, is also seven or eight points similar...
"The most important thing is that I can't steal anything from him... This is the same feeling that my acquaintance gave me..." Pales Zarathustra said as if Is caught in the memory.
"Things other than foreign things... what is that?" Leonard asked puzzled.
"Many...such as memory, such as ability, and such as...destiny." Pallez Zarathustra sighed, and continued, "He may have inherited something from my acquaintance, so that he could With such qualities.”
Leonard took a deep breath, and almost blurted out the question "Can fate be stolen?" before asking again after a while: "Old man, what is the name of that acquaintance of yours? Maybe, I can help you investigate that one." The hero detective' and his relationship."
"His name is Rhine Karenldea, and he is a Duke of blood."
