Start with the Readers Chapter 102: Desolator

In the Hillston area, Detective Essinger Stanton finished his tiring day and was reading "Storm Heights" borrowed from a student for a little leisure.

When he read about the appearance of an evil spirit wearing copper-rimmed glasses, he couldn't help but smile knowingly, and he wanted to get acquainted with Miss Hugh's friend.

But at this moment, his spirituality was suddenly touched.

Detective Essinger frowned, put down the novel, and put "2-081" on his finger while turning on his spiritual vision.

Then, he saw a silver-white illusory bird land on the table in front of him with a letter in its mouth.

This little bird is only the size of a sparrow, with a pair of red moon-like eyes embedded in its walnut-sized head, and the silver-white phantom feathers all over its body make it look extremely slender, not as bloated as a sparrow.

At this time, after the little bird put down the letter, it tilted its head and looked at the surrounding environment. Then, it seemed to be a little disappointed, it shook its wings, flew into the void and disappeared.

"Messenger? Whose?" The well-informed Detective Essinger already understood what the spirit world creature was here for.

He glanced at the envelope on the table, and instead of picking it up hastily, he stroked the gemstone on the surface of "2-081" and used it to parse the envelope.

After a while, Detective Essinger, who found nothing wrong, carefully picked up the envelope, and then saw that Abner's name was filled in the addressee position on it.

A letter to Abner? How did it get to me?

Detective Essinger is a little puzzled. Generally, couriers can accurately find the recipient, unless the recipient's breath is not recorded.

……

In the Harvest Church, Bishop Utravsky is telling the three "Desolate Ones" about the previous ambush incident, the perfume incident, and Abner's speculation about the witch's promotion ceremony.

At this time, the black-haired and red-eyed Karen felt his heart move, and stretched out his palm forward. Immediately afterwards, a silver-white phantom bird landed on his fair and tender fingers like a girl.

The little bird shook its wings, then turned its little head to Karen, and chirped.

Karen listened attentively for a while, chuckled, pampered its head, and took out a bit of spiritual material powder and fed it into its mouth.

"What is it talking about?" Judy, a brown-haired girl beside her, asked curiously in a low voice.

"She is complaining that the recipient is very stingy and refuses to give the hard-working courier a little supper." Karen smiled and translated for Xiaoniao.

"I really envy you, you actually directly tamed the creatures of the spirit world... I still dare not try the ritual of summoning the messenger lightly." Judy obviously has a good relationship with Karen, and she doesn't hide her envy at all.

"Silica was not a creature of the spirit world from the very beginning. About five hundred years ago, she was transformed into a dead spirit in a crisis, and only then did she have the ability to travel through the spirit world." Karen looked deeply, It seemed to be recalling a not-so-good past.

But he quickly came back to his senses, and said to the two "giants" who had finished talking and were looking over:

"That Mr. Abner Bryan is not currently in the detective agency, and the letter has been forwarded to his teacher."

The "Giant" captain nodded, and said to his two team members: "Since Mr. Blaine won't be there for a while, let's conduct an early investigation before dawn."

"Yes, Captain." The two team members responded in unison, and then Judy, who was more active, asked worriedly: "Captain, where should we go to investigate first? We don't know Backlund at all. Ah...do you really not get lost without a guide?"

The captain of the "Giant" carried a wooden box that was much larger than a normal coffin, first nodded to Bishop Utravsky, and then said to Judy: "Since the perfume of heresy was originally placed in that coffin It was found at the home of a believer who went astray, so let’s go there to check the situation first.” At this point, he looked at Karen who was still playing with the silver-white feathered bird, and continued: “As for the guide, I remember Karen I said that he lived in Backlund for a long time before, let him lead the way."

Hearing this, Karen, who was chatting with the little bird Silica, suddenly raised his head and said with surprise:

"Captain, are you serious? You must know that when I came to Backlund last time, Emperor Roselle had just invented the steam engine!"

……

At 11 o'clock in the evening, after Abner handed Xie the exterior pictures of the factory that he had drawn, he made an appointment with her on the time and place of the next meeting, and then dragged his exhausted body back to the teacher. office.

As soon as he entered the lobby on the first floor, Abner found Detective Essinger sitting on the sofa reading a book.

The teacher has already rested at this time... Are you waiting for me?

Abner thought this in his heart, and asked the same question.

Detective Essinger put down his book, picked up an envelope from the side coffee table and handed it to him, saying, "Here is a letter from you."

"Letter? Who sent it? Jane?" Abner guessed casually after receiving the letter. Except for Jane, he has almost no friends in other places, only Mr. Gaston, Miss Gwen and Ai Triss are more familiar, but it is very unlikely that they will write to him.

"Probably not. This letter was sent by a 'messenger'. That Miss Jane has not long become an Extraordinary, and I'm afraid she won't be able to drive the 'messenger'." Detective Essinger lit his pipe and said after taking a puff.

"'Messenger'?" Abner's hand holding the envelope paused immediately.

"Don't worry, I've checked it. There are no traps or curses in this letter." Detective Essinger guessed what the student was thinking and said with a smile.

Only then was Abner heaved a sigh of relief, but he still quietly opened the pure white eyes to analyze it before opening the envelope.

The letter was in Bishop Utravsky's handwriting, and the general content was to tell him that the "Desolate Man" had arrived, and asked him to come to Harvest Church as soon as possible.

Abner inspected it several times and found nothing wrong, so he decided to go to the Harvest Church early tomorrow morning.

Looking up and seeing the curious and probing eyes of the teacher, Abner thought for a while, and felt that there was nothing to hide. Considering the wording:

"It's from Bishop Utravsky of the Harvest Church. He wants me to go there tomorrow."

Detective Essinger nodded when he heard the words, and then said to himself with some doubts: "Since when did that giant bishop have the ability to summon a 'messenger'? People in the 'warrior' path should not be good at this...even if The Ural bishop of the 'cultivator' route who served before him did not have a 'messenger'."

Abner was a little surprised when he heard this, and said in amazement, "Teacher, do you still know the former bishop of the Church of the Mother Earth in Backlund?" You have a lot of friends, except for the Church of the Storm. ?

Detective Essinger took a puff of cigarette with a smile, and said with pride on his face: "Of course I know, otherwise, where do you think the healing ability in '2-081' comes from?"

……

On Saturday morning, after Abner held a ceremony and made a few short-acting charms, he immediately took the subway to the Harvest Church on Rose Street in the south area of ​​the bridge.

As soon as he stepped into the hall of this golden church, he saw a girl in a blue dress complaining to the feminine man beside her in Fenepot language:

"Karen, if Silica hadn't been leading the way last night, we would have all lost our way to the Church of Tranquility and been imprisoned underground by the Nighthawks."

"No, Judy. Even without Silica, I... I can still do divination..." Karen replied not very confidently.

Since Fenepot language and Loen language have the same origin, there are only differences in individual words and grammar, so Abner can barely understand what they are saying.

However, in order to facilitate communication, he still chanted "Blue Star" in ancient Hermes in a low voice, which inspired the just-made "Mastering the Language" spell.

Seeing Abner come in, Bishop Utravsky with sparse eyebrows, light blue eyes, and obvious wrinkles stood up, nodded to him, and said with a smile, "Son, you came just in time. A 'Desolator' just came back."

Just came back... Combined with the girl's words just now, Abner is sure that they went out to investigate last night, although the operation may not be too successful...

"This is Mr. Abner Bryan~IndoMTL.com~, a well-known private investigator, and he was the first to discover the evidence that Leonardo became a heresy." Bishop Utravsky first asked the three A "Desolate Man" introduced Abner, then pointed to the girl who just complained, and said to Abner:

"This is Judy Loreto, the 'biologist' of Sequence 6."

Abner was a little surprised when he heard the words, and thought: Generally speaking, when you meet for the first time, wouldn't it be enough to just say your name? Why did you even tell me the sequence... so relieved of me?

On the other side, Judy, a girl with long brown hair, saw Abner's strange expression, but she was mistaken. 6 scared? In fact, this is nothing, because my parents are the saints of the church, I was born as a "harvest priest" of Sequence 7, and it took eighteen years to advance to "biologist", I feel very Slow, "

When talking about her parents, she wasn't shy at all, and she didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with it.

No, ma'am, I'm not intimidated by this. After all, there is a precedent for Klein being a **** for a year and a half, so you can only be considered average.

While Abner complained in his heart, he briefly greeted Ms. Judy. Then I heard Bishop Utravsky pointing to a man with black hair and red eyes beside Judy, who was handsome but lacked masculinity, and said, "This is Karen Tia, Viscount of the Blood Race, of Sequence 5." 'Crimson Scholar'."

The blood race... I don't know if he has any information about the "Tree of the Elders", I will ask after I get acquainted...

Suffering from not being able to find a suitable doll and having no excuse to contact Emlyn, Abner's heart was moved at this moment, and he felt that it might be possible to reach out to the treasure of the blood clan through this Mr. Viscount... No, it is to establish friendship with the blood clan connect.
