Start with the Readers Chapter 180: Harvest and report
"Aitris?!"
Abner screamed in his heart, he did not expect to meet this friend here. And from the looks of it, he should be the "hard bone" that the bald man said before but was caught after the assassination failed.
And Ai Triss looked extremely miserable at this time, her clothes were beaten to tatters, her whole body was covered with deep black marks, not to mention, even her limbs had been broken!
Hearing the movement, Aitris raised her head with difficulty, and managed to understand the situation in the basement through her blurred vision. Squeezing out a smile, he said in a hoarse voice: "My friend, although I don't know who you are, thank you very much for saving me... I will reward you later."
He tried his best to show his own value, and emphasized that he did not know the other party, so as not to be silenced by the other party.
You think too much, I just wanted to come here to "find out" some information...
Wearing a "clown" mask with a completely female face, Abner slandered, but he was not in a hurry to untie Aitris, but healed his body with the ability of "doctor" first. injury.
Although the effect of the "healing" he simulated is much worse than the original version, it can be used as an emergency treatment, but it is enough. At least it temporarily stabilizes the opponent's physical condition so that it will not deteriorate.
And the injury is no longer getting worse, which is enough for a strong "hunter".
"Thank you." Ai Triss breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this, knowing that the other party had no malicious intentions, otherwise she wouldn't have done anything unnecessary.
Abner nodded, and did not speak. Instead, he turned around and came to the three dead Extraordinary. After carefully identifying them, he wanted to put away their separated Extraordinary characteristics one by one.
"The characteristic of 'Corpse Collector', it was precipitated by the brown-yellow man who opened the closet... I remember seeing him when I recalled Moreira's memory, his name should be Godops... Well, according to just now According to those three people, it was this Godops who protected the so-called Mr. Aubrey, and Aitris was caught? Hehe, the 'hunter' couldn't beat the 'corpse collector', and he was caught... ...What a shame...
"Um, well, this Godops also has a Extraordinary item? Then it makes sense."
While complaining in his heart, Abner found a black revolver from Godops.
After a little analysis with the "Pure White Eye", I found that it only has the ability of "Silent Shooting". Although it is not very strong, it is still practical.
After putting away the characteristics and the revolver, Abner looked at another brown-yellow-skinned man beside Godops.
They are also of the Balam race in the Southern Continent, but this person's clothes are more elegant, and his maintenance is much more refined than that of Godops. Abner even analyzed the ingredients of several skin care products from his face...
"This should be the 'Master Lima' among the ordinary people, right? The status should be higher than that of Godops...
"Sure enough, this is a 'gravedigger'... Tsk tsk, fortunately, the 'invisibility' of the 'witch' can hide the wandering spirit, otherwise I would have to do something more...
"There are no Extraordinary Items? That's right, he doesn't seem to be a combatant, so he doesn't need to carry dangerous Sealed Artifacts with him... Well, the Sealed Artifacts of the 'Eternal Life Society' should not be in this stronghold, probably somewhere else to store them .
"Huh? There's a letter on him?"
After putting away the feature, Abner unfolded the letter paper and found that there was only one sentence on it:
"It has been confirmed that Earl Wolf's collection contains a mask brought out of the Eggers family mausoleum."
The mask of the Eggers family... this is what Mr. Ards lost, right? The "Eternal Life Society" made up its mind so early? But this handwriting can be imitated, when the time comes, hand over this letter paper and my forged information to the military...
As his thoughts flashed, Abner turned his attention to the last person who was poisoned to death.
It was an old man in his sixties, with a big nose, gray-blue eyes, loose skin on his face, no beard, and thinning hair. A crimson item, that is the Extraordinary characteristic of a piece of "Provocateur".
"That person is Donald Aubrey. On the surface, he is the owner of a bar in the East End, but he is actually a pirate who pretends to be a pirate after he landed! His name on the sea is Longman the Laugher, and the bounty is 1,000 pounds .”
At this time, Aitris finally regained some strength, and introduced to Abner with complicated eyes.
"Provocateur"... It seems that the hunting mission given by Anderson is not only to train Aitris so that he can "act", but also to allow him to obtain promotion materials...
Unfortunately, Aitris screwed up.
Abner nodded slightly, but didn't intend to reply. The main reason was that if Aitris recognized who it was, wouldn't it be embarrassing?
He put the "provocateur" characteristic into the tin box, left the basement through the entrance of the closet, found a big bag in the house above, and then turned around and put the body of the so-called "jocker" Longman Put it in.
Putting the bag on his back, Abner untied the rope that bound Aitris, then ignored the other party's thanks, and left the stronghold of the "Eternal Life Society".
But as soon as he left the gate of No. 79 Dirham Street, he was stopped by a young man.
White shirt, black vest, black trousers, medium build, blue-eyed young man with blond hair and three to seven cents... This person is undoubtedly "The Strongest Hunter" Anderson.
Isn't he going to the sea area of "God War Ruins"? Why did you come to Backlund? Could it be that he is secretly protecting Ai Tris?
Abner immediately became alert, ready to "fly" to escape at any time.
"Don't be nervous, ma'am. I just want to make a deal with you." Anderson raised his hand and touched his earlobe, and said with a smile.
"What do you want to trade?" Although Abner had guessed in his heart, he still asked deliberately holding his throat.
"The Extraordinary characteristics of the 'Provocateur' should be on your body, right? I want to buy it." Anderson said seriously.
Sure enough... Abner thought secretly, then pretended to think for a moment, and quoted a price: "700 pounds."
"This quotation is very fair, but I don't have that much cash. Can I exchange this with you?" Anderson said, taking out an eyeball-shaped item from his pocket.
After carefully identifying it, Abner recognized it immediately, because he just put away one...that is the Extraordinary characteristic of "Grave Digger".
After a little thought, Abner, who didn't want to get entangled with Anderson here, immediately agreed.
After the two cautiously made an exchange, Abner didn't hesitate any longer, and directly "flyed" away from the stronghold with the bag on his back.
Anderson watched him leave, then walked to the stronghold of the "Eternal Life Association", kicked open the door, and walked in.
After seeing Ai Tris who still hadn't stood up in the basement, he raised the corners of his mouth and said with a bright smile:
"Dear Mr. Etris, I think this unforgettable practice should make you realize that the profession of 'hunter' requires brains, right?
"If you haven't realized it yet, I will arrange another task that will impress you even more."
……
Because he was carrying the sack containing the dead body, Abner did not fly back to the teacher's office, but came to the nearest one-bedroom house he rented in the East District.
After taking off the "clown mask" and returning to his original appearance, Abner looked at the sky, and found that it was already a bit dim -- although this light could not penetrate the thick fog in Backlund.
It's almost five o'clock... It shouldn't matter if Mister Fool wakes up a little earlier, right?
With this in mind, Abner has already clasped his hands, pressed his buried mouth and nose like a prayer, and sincerely began to chant in a low voice:
"A fool who does not belong to this era..."
……
Tingen, in the townhouse at 2 Daffodil Street.
Klein, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly opened his eyes and woke up. Because he heard illusory prayers echoing layer after layer...
"Who is it again? 'Tower'? Or 'The Hanged Man'?" Klein muttered a few times, rolled around on the bed a few more times, and finally got out of bed resignedly.
He picked up the silver dagger to build a spiritual wall, sealed off the room, then walked four steps backwards, came above the gray mist, and then saw that the crimson star corresponding to the "tower" was constantly expanding and shrinking .
Sure enough... Klein sat down and leaned against the back of the chair, spreading his spirituality.
The voice of "Tower" suddenly became clear:
"Dear Mister Fool, I have received a piece of news about Admiral Hell Ludwell, saying that 'The Black Tulip will pass through the waters off Pritz Harbor in the early morning of the 16th...
"I would like to use my accumulated 'contributions' to confirm the authenticity of this news... If it is true, I would like you to pass the news to Mr. 'The Hanged Man' so that he can report it to the Church of Storms as soon as possible .
"Well, I know that this will make him take a certain risk, so I am willing to pay a certain amount of reward... The reward will be passed on to you in the form of 'sacrifice' later~IndoMTL.com~ In the majestic palace, Klein His fingers tapped the edge of the long bronze table rhythmically, concentrating on how he should respond to the request from the "tower".
The information on "Black Tulip" and "Admiral Hell" is complete, and the prerequisites should be enough... Maybe you can do a divination?
Thinking of this, Klein picked up the pen that appeared, and wrote seriously:
"The information obtained by the 'Tower' is accurate."
Putting the pen away, he untied the silver chain wrapped around his cuff until the citrine pendant hung stably above the divination statement and the mysterious vertical eye, without any obvious shaking.
Klein closed his eyes, and silently recited the sentence in an ethereal and peaceful manner.
After seven times, he opened his eyes and saw that the citrine pendant was spinning clockwise with a silver chain.
This means yes.
He nodded in satisfaction, then lightly touched the crimson star of the "tower" with his spirituality, informed the result of the "divination", and added cautiously: This is the result he has observed so far, and there is no guarantee that it will There will be other beings interfering.
After finishing all this, Klein was just about to spread his spirituality to the crimson star of "The Hanged Man" to complete the follow-up part of the "Tower" request just now, when he once again received the "Tower" to hold a sacrificial ceremony pray.
Soon, with the opening of the "gate of the kingdom", a dilapidated big bag was "sacrificed" in.
"What's this?" Klein picked up the note on the bag with one hand, and untied the string at the mouth of the bag habitually with the other hand.
