Start with the Readers Chapter 19: Jane’s request for help

In the afternoon, Detective Essinger felt very satisfied after checking Abner's learning progress in the ancient Fusac language, so he handed him a copy of ancient Hermes language materials.

"The ancient Hermes language comes from nature, similar to the ancient dragon language and ancient elf language, the effect is very direct, and it is a language that truly has 'power'! But it lacks the necessary concealment and protection, and it is easy to put users in danger. You should also pay attention to this when you are studying, and don’t read it out if it is not necessary.” Detective Essinger urged Abner repeatedly as he handed the materials to Abner.

Abner also knew the importance, nodded his head solemnly, and with the help of pure white eyes, he devoted himself to the study carefully.

In this way, a few days passed quietly.

In the past few days, Abner has lived without any disturbances. With the help of language learning and reading and comprehension during rituals, he quickly mastered various knowledge and digested the spiritual remnants in the potion. He even felt that in another week or so, the 'reader' would be completely digested!

The time soon came to Wednesday morning. After breakfast, Abner and Hugh came to the abandoned manor in the northern suburbs again.

After shooting out the practice bullets they brought, they fought again. This time, Abner supported Xio for a full minute before losing.

Xio was very surprised by this. You must know that her digestion of the potion has not been slow in the past few days, and her fighting ability is much stronger than that of the last fight, which is enough to show Abner's astonishing improvement.

"Your physical fitness hasn't improved much, but many skills seem to be mastered soon, forming a physical instinct! As far as I know, many knights have fought on the battlefield for more than ten years to reach this stage... Maybe you What a fighting genius, it's a pity you didn't choose the potion of the 'Warrior' sequence." Xio said regretfully. Although she didn't know exactly which path Abner was an Extraordinary, she was not fighting head-on.

Abner has no regrets about this. Perhaps this fighting talent is also a gift from Pure White Eye, but its support in other aspects is obviously stronger. It is for nothing that he really chose 'Warrior' Mostly functional.

"By the way, your physique is more suitable for knight swords and other weapons. I don't know much about those weapons, and I only know a little basic. What I'm best at are daggers or triangular thorns." Xio is only one meter tall. Five, many knight swords are taller than her, so naturally they are not used to using that kind of weapon.

"It's enough to know some basics, and I don't expect myself to become a 'Jugmaster', and as long as I am promoted to Sequence Seven, I can naturally become a weapon master." Abner was in a good mood and was not disappointed, so he asked Xio The matter of contacting the noble plan:

"Has Forsi's new book been published? Is she still looking for various reasons to delay the draft?"

Xio rubbed her forehead, and replied with some helplessness: "Not yet, but under my supervision, she has finished writing, and it will be published as early as Saturday."

"It's really hard work for you, I think her editor should treat you to dinner!" Abner joked with a smile.

"Actually, Ms. Aina has already invited..." Xio sighed.

While the two were chatting and laughing, suddenly three carriages drove over from far to near. The sound of the horse's hooves vibrating the ground made Dexiu and Abner immediately alert, quickly packed up the things they had brought, and then went through the side door of the manor and entered a small utility room in the living room to take shelter. This is an emergency plan planned before the break.

Of course, thanks to the two of them being cautious, they collected the shell casings after shooting practice, otherwise they were designated to show their feet.

But what they didn't know was that just after they hid in the utility room, a gust of wind suddenly blew up on the shooting range. After the cloudy wind passed, all traces of activity were wiped away. The people who got on and off the carriage didn't notice it at all.

"Maybe someone wants to buy this manor..." Xio whispered in Abner's ear after carefully discerning the words of the person coming.

Abner nodded. This is not good news for him. If someone really buys this place, he won't be able to come to the shooting range for free.

"Actually, it's not a big problem. Most of the rich people buy suburban manors for vacation or hunting, and they don't come a few times a year. As long as they can hide from the people who guard the house, they can still get it." Xio obviously Guessing Abner's thoughts, he gave a little relief.

It's not as convenient as it is now, and I have to be sneaky and nervous... Fortunately, my marksmanship has improved rapidly!

When Abner was thinking about something, the group of people outside came to the living room after looking at the other rooms.

"Mr. Caron, what do you think of this place? Although it looks dilapidated, as long as it is renovated, it will not lose to the Elk Manor in the west. Moreover, it is closer to the North District and the traffic is more convenient. 2500 You won't lose a pound to buy it!" A very magnetic male voice said in an exaggerated tone, completely destroying his good voice.

Xio pursed his lips when he heard this, and whispered a little unconvinced: "When my father bought it, it cost 4,200 pounds..."

Abner sighed silently, thinking that if he has money in the future, maybe he can help Xio buy it back? But after thinking about it, it's better to forget it. It's more fulfilling and ritual for her to do this kind of thing by herself. What's the matter if I do it for you?

"Mr. Cecil, as you said, this place is too dilapidated. Not only do I have to renovate, but I also have to buy new furniture and decorations! In addition, I heard that this place is always haunted? So, 1,000 pounds How about the deal?" Mr. Caron bargained after pointing out a series of questions.

"1,000 pounds is too little! At least 2,200 pounds! Mr. Cuaron, it's just a rumor about the haunted, don't you think I'm fine?"

"But how did I hear that you were really seriously ill before?"

……

Just listening to their constant wrangling, the price was finally reduced to 1,800 pounds. That Mr. Cecil refused to give in any more, and Mr. Caron seemed reluctant to agree, and the transaction was made at this price.

While the lawyer was signing the contract, the man named Caron walked to the door of the utility room.

Abner and Hugh immediately became tense. The former thought for a while, then took out an iron mask from his pocket and put it on his face. It was originally used for participating in the Extraordinary party at night.

And Xio was even more straightforward, grabbing a handful of dirt and smearing his face.

The two of them were surprisingly in the same mind. Once they were discovered, they immediately covered their faces and rushed out. As long as they were not caught on the spot, they could say anything.

But the strange thing is that Mr. Cuaron walked back and forth in the utility room for several steps, but in the end he didn't open the door to come in. Instead, he murmured to himself with some doubts: "Why do I always feel that there is something missing here?"

Through the door, the two Abners, who had obviously heard this, looked at each other in surprise, and they both saw three words in each other's eyes: "It's weird!"

This is much more terrifying than that Mr. Caron who opened the door and walked in! This shows that there is an extraordinary power in this house that they don't know about! And the unknown is the most terrifying...

After the group who inspected the house left, Abner and Xio didn't dare to delay any longer, and wanted to leave the abandoned manor as quickly as possible.

Just when Abner was about to step out of the room, his spirituality was suddenly touched. He turned his head unconsciously, and saw a line written in Hermes on the glass of the window. Text: Don't be afraid, Kaspers mentioned you to me.

The words fluctuated like water ripples, and disappeared in a blink of an eye. If Abner's memory and observation skills were not far superior to ordinary people, he might think that his eyes were dazzled.

Kaspers? When did he know such a high-end person? No, he did know such a person in the original book, Miss Sharon from the Temperance School of the Rose School of Thought... Did they get to know each other so early?

I thought so, but Abner didn't stop. I can't just believe what that guy says, it's better to go to Kaspers to confirm the truth.

"It just so happens that there is a Beyonder party hosted by the teacher behind the Brave Bar today, so just stop by and ask."

When Abner was thinking this way, he and Xio had already run to the boundary one mile away from the manor in one breath.

At this moment, Xio slowed down, and asked with lingering fear: "What is that, I didn't even notice anything!" She didn't see the words on the glass, but her intuition told her that the living room There is great terror in it.

"Maybe it's a 'wraith'..." Abner was actually not sure, so he could only say that it was very likely.

"'Resentful Soul'? Is it the name of a certain sequence?" Xio now has some blind trust in Abner, thinking that he knows everything.

"It is the sequence 5 of the heterogeneous pathway."

"Sequence 5..." Xio swallowed hard after hearing this, and was too scared to speak anymore~IndoMTL.com~ It's not much more difficult for such a strong person to crush their two Sequence 9s to death than to kill two ants.

……

After the two returned to the urban area in silence, Xio continued to work as an 'arbiter' in the Eastern District, bringing justice to the lower classes. And Abner returned to Detective Essinger's home, planning to study hard for an afternoon to relieve the depression in his heart due to his weakness.

The previous experience gave him the deep feeling that life and death are involuntary. Even if that Miss Wraith didn't have any malicious intentions, he still didn't like that feeling. It was a feeling of weakness that could not even be resisted.

But as soon as he opened the door of the teacher's house, Abner saw Jane sitting in the living room with some anxiety.

When Detective Essinger saw him coming in, he smiled and said, "You're back, Miss Grant has been waiting for you for an hour."

Abner met with the teacher first, then looked at Jane, and asked suspiciously: "Jane, why are you here?"

Jian Ze got up and walked quickly to Abner, and said a little embarrassedly: "I...I want to ask you for help!"

This girl has always been very nervous, and I have never seen her look so coy in my memory... To be honest, this kind of behavior made Abner feel a little nervous.

Seeing Jane peeking at Detective Essinger and then turning his head quickly, he immediately understood the other party's concerns, so after apologizing to the teacher, he took her to his room.

Sure enough, as soon as she entered the house, Jane couldn't wait to grab Abner and said anxiously: "Abner, I want you to help me investigate my father!"

"Investigate Mr. Grant? What happened to him?" Abner frowned upon hearing this.

"He has been sneaking out at night for the past few days. I suspect that he has a lover... I dare not tell my mother about this, so I have to ask you to help find out."
