Start with the Readers Chapter 17: Friends

Because what Klein said was not urgent, Abner quickly put it down and refocused on the banquet.

——He plans to go to East Chester County tomorrow to pick up the original manuscript of Roselle, and if he still has enough time, he will consider whether to go to Nas, the capital of the Gargas Islands. .

It was said to be a celebration banquet, but Abner, who already knew that the "Seal of Disaster" was placed behind his "Pure White Eye", did not hold it so grandly and formally.

This is not so much a banquet, but more like a dinner with friends.

Seeing that everyone was eating about the same amount, Abner, as the host, stood up, picked up a glass of "Ormir" red wine, and started to clink glasses with his friends one by one along the long table.

He first came to the nearest Xio, and after having a drink with her, he smiled and said, "I still owe you a trip to the hot spring?"

"As long as you remember." Xio's tone was a bit unfriendly, not only because of the other party's procrastination, but also because there was only milk in her glass.

"I always remember..." After Abner smiled and whispered a few words in Xio's ear, he walked towards Fors with a wine glass, while Xio held the glass in a daze, and took the milk after a while. Pour into mouth.

Forsi is more greedy. After clinking glasses with Abner, she drank all the wine in the glass and said:

"Sure enough, it's Almere, the most famous wine, probably not too old... It tastes much better than the ones we drank in Intis. Each level has a different feeling..."

"If you left a few days later, after I formally entered Trier's upper circle, there would be no shortage of wines of this grade." Abner poured her another glass and clinked glasses again. , "Welcome back to Backlund, Miss Fors Wall."

"It was you who saw me off in Trier back then, and now you are the one who welcomes me back to Backlund... Why does it feel a bit strange..." Forssi complained, but did not refuse to fill the cup The "Olmere", once again gulped down.

At this moment, Abner took out a bracelet made of several stones from his pocket, stuffed it into Forsi's hand, bent down, and laughed softly: "This is a gift for you."

"Gift?" Forsi looked down, and felt that the lines on the stone looked familiar, "What is it for? Is it an ornament?"

"This is a 'Teleportation Stone', which can be teleported to a designated location in a critical situation. It can be used three times now..."

After a brief introduction, Abner continued to walk towards Hazel without waiting for Fors to react, but the corner of his mouth curled up the moment he turned his back.

If I knew that Abner would give me this, why would I spend money on that badge at the Tarot Club? Holding the bracelet, Forsi couldn't help laughing at herself.

Hugh, who had witnessed all of this and clearly knew the cause and effect, glanced back and forth between Fors and Abner, and finally sighed.

On the other side, although Hazel was not very old, she was already a social adult, so she also poured herself a glass of white wine. Seeing Abner coming over at this time, she raised the glass voluntarily.

After celebrating the big sales of "Rouselle Gustav" and "Looking for the Laurel", Hazel said to Abner a little reservedly and proudly: "My 'fraudster' The potion has been digested."

"Does this sentence count as a 'fraud'?" Abner made a joke first, then raised his face and solemnly warned, "When you become a 'cryptographer', you must be more cautious. ...It's better to stay in Harvest Church often..."

"Why?" Hazel was a little puzzled.

Because after your path is in the middle sequence, part of it often becomes a sealed item, and part of it becomes Amon... Abner thought so in his heart, but on the surface he followed the principle of "keeping knowledge" and simply explained :

"You can understand that all extraordinary people in the 'thief' path have a common enemy...so, even your former demigod teacher has been hiding."

Harouer nodded thoughtfully, and said seriously: "I understand."

Seeing this, Abner frowned, because he found that the most probable "tributary" of Hazel's "River of Destiny" still intersected with a certain clone of Amon, and it was not because of his own Deflected by the warning...

The current Hazel is not as ignorant and arrogant as in the original book, she still takes my words very seriously... Then, if it's not her subjective problem... is it because of Extraordinary Convergence? Or because of some reason I don't know yet...

I didn't expect that she and Amon had a "fate"!

Sighing secretly, Abner decided to look for opportunities to continue deflecting Hazel's fate in the future. After all, the environment here is not right, and he dare not open the "Pure White Eye".

After that, Abner clinked glasses with the inventor Repard, the reporter Mike, and Benson, who had just become a civil servant not long ago, and thanked them for their help to his film and television company.

Among them, Reppard, as the main inventor of the sound projector, received a large amount of dividends;

Reporter Mike registered a new pseudonym, began to write professional film reviews, and became the director of the public opinion department established by the film and television company.

——After acquiring Prince Edesak’s shares in the Daily Observer, Abner, Vera, and Hazel have taken absolute control of the newspaper, and seconding Mike to be the head of the department is also a must. It is normal operation.

As for Benson, even though he just became an employee of the Ministry of Finance, he still played a certain role in the simultaneous release of the previous films. At least some small towns were able to pass the financial support for the establishment of public theaters so quickly. There is his credit.

After chatting with several men, Abner came to Melissa.

Because the lady is not very old, Mrs. Scudder prepared juice for her.

After briefly clinking glasses, Melissa pursed her lips and whispered, "I will try my best to return the money for the 'potion' ingredients..."

With the help of Hazel, she successfully formulated potions from the materials sent by the messengers sent by Abner, and she is now a Sequence 9 "Generalist".

God testified, when she learned from Hazel that the potion of Sequence 9 was worth 400 gold pounds, she was completely stunned.

You must know that before Klein's death, his annual salary may only be this much...and Benson was even less at that time!

This is just Sequence Nine... It is hard for Melissa to imagine the price of the follow-up potions.

It was actually bought by your brother for you, I just passed it on... Abner grumbled in his heart, but on the surface he just smiled, and did not refuse the girl's insistence. more motivation.

Whether it is beneficial to her or to her own film and television company... It is a win-win situation.

…

After the banquet ended, except for Xio and Forsi, the rest of the guests took their leave.

Benson had the opportunity to be alone with his younger sister after leaving the villa at No. 28 Kingston Street. After chatting for a few words, he suddenly asked unintentionally:

"Melissa, what did you say to Viscount Blaine?"

Melissa stopped and stared at her brother's head for a long time, until she couldn't help but raise her hand to straighten her hair, then she said seriously:

"I'm discussing with Abner why he is so popular with girls, but my brother is not..."

This... Benson was at a loss for words when he heard the words, but he asked in a strange way: "What did he say?"

"Abner said, you need to take care of yourself...especially your hairline!" Melissa stared at the top of her brother's head, solemnly.

Benson's expression suddenly became very complicated. He opened his mouth and spit out a sentence: "I read the newspaper before, saying that there is something called Doningsman tree sap, which may be effective for hair growth... "

Hearing this, Melissa finally couldn't hold back anymore, she burst out laughing and said, "I'm just joking... how could I ask Abner such a question."

Benson suddenly petrified, and after a while he said helplessly: "Melissa, when did you learn to speak like this?"

"You said before, 'What's the difference between a man who doesn't understand humor and a curly-haired baboon?'" Melissa glanced at him casually ~IndoMTL.com~ and asked, "Is it not good for me?"

"Very good! I mean, this is what I want you to be! It seems that you have a good time with people from the film and television company." Benson said happily.

Since Klein passed away, how long has it been since he saw his sister so happy? Although this may have been brought about by that playful detective, I still have to thank him... What should I do if there is such a contradiction?

Melissa saw the joy and contradiction in her brother's heart, and she also raised the corners of her mouth, thinking:

"Come on, come on! I have stepped into Klein's previous world...

"I will definitely find out the real cause of his death!"

…

In the bedroom on the third floor of the villa at No. 28 Kingston Street.

Just after taking a shower and changing his clothes, Abner was about to take a rest, but at this moment, he heard a knock on the door.

After a moment of sensing, he found that it was Xio standing outside the door.
