Start with the Readers Chapter 41: Notes


This mountain villa is built on a cliff, and the other three sides are cliffs. There is only a wooden suspension bridge connected to the outside road. At this time, the suspension bridge has been cut down! This place has become an 'island'.

Looking at such a scene, Abner felt inexplicably familiar, and before he could say anything, words written in Hermes script floated in front of his eyes: "Identify the murderer. (Only one chance)"

"It seems that the eighth floor of the maze this time is a crime-solving scene... The 'only one chance' means that if you make a mistake, you will immediately be judged to have failed to pass the level, and you will exit the dream maze." Gaston Mr. seems to have had a similar experience, and explained a little.

"Where is the murderer? Could it be that he is in the villa?" Xio turned his head and looked at the obviously Loen-style building behind him, and suddenly felt that it was a bit similar to the Maysong Manor on the outskirts of Backlund.

"Just go in and have a look." After finishing speaking, Abner, who had some ideas in his mind, opened the door and walked into the villa first.

There are eight people gathering together in the villa, four men and four women, and one of the men is a child who looks only six or seven years old.

I don't know what kind of identities the Dream Labyrinth arranged for the three of Abner, but their arrival did not arouse the suspicion of the people in the house.

"Conan? You met him again!" At this moment, Mr. Gaston looked at the child with a look of displeasure, and there was rarely a trace of exasperation in his usual steady tone.

Conan? When Abner heard this name, he immediately thought of the famous elementary school student of death, so he looked at the child carefully.

Blue formal attire, red bow tie, wide-frame glasses... The attire is quite suitable, but this child is obviously a Loenian, and he doesn't look like that elementary school student of death at all. Moreover, the decorative furniture and other things in the villa do not have any modern atmosphere, and seem to be a little behind Backlund.

When Abner was full of doubts, Xio whispered beside him: "Mr. Gaston, is there anything special about this kid named Conan?"

"I was on the eighth floor twice, and even a few times on the ninth floor, I encountered scenes with his existence, and whenever I encountered him, my clearance ended in failure! This is Conan The child always appears in scenes where murders occur, and he is suspected to be a Extraordinary in the "Detective" sequence, with physical strength and arm strength far beyond ordinary people, and the glasses, bow tie, belt, watch, and shoes on his body are also powerful Extraordinary Item! His reasoning ability is also very powerful, once he identifies the murderer first, our breakthrough will be judged as a failure! Really..." Mr. Gaston took a deep breath, so he didn't swear.

Mr. Gaston seems to have suffered from Conan's hands several times... While thinking about this, Xio secretly glanced at Abner.

But at this time, Abner's heart was full of WTF. If he was only a little suspicious of this so-called Conan before, after listening to Mr. Gaston's words, he can already be sure that this Conan is the one in his memory. The **** of death is a primary school student. Even if the length is not comparable!

Then he confirmed something that he had already guessed - this 'Dream Labyrinth Tower' was indeed built by Emperor Roselle!

"He wouldn't have magically transformed all animations, movies, and TV dramas that he didn't have time to plagiarize into a dream maze scene, right? Speaking of the fireplace heating routine in the escape room on the ninth floor, I seem to be in that movie I have seen it in film and television works...and this scene is probably not a childhood shadow incident in Conan TV, right?" Abner thought of this, but suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and thought of something else, thinking, "So , I may be familiar with the plots of many scenes...Maybe I can stop at the seventh floor, and if I understand the scene, the danger of the sixth floor will not be so great."

Just as he was thinking here, the original four men and four women in the room on the other side were discussing about a weird man with bandages, because this man had just launched an attack on Conan's sister in the small woods outside. But it scares everyone.

"This bandage guy might be the so-called murderer. He doesn't seem to have succeeded yet. Should we ambush him in advance to see if we can catch him?" Xio suggested after eavesdropping. Although she can't use extraordinary ability yet, she thinks it's not a problem to hit one or two ordinary people.

"It's not that simple... The cases involving Conan are very complicated. This kind of bandage weirdo who looks like a murderer is often the first to die. I think we should keep an eye on everyone except Conan and his sister." One person, they could all be murderers!" Mr. Gaston shook his head and said with deep eyes. He seems to have Conan PTSD.

At this moment, Abner came back to his senses. He smiled at Xio, then took a step forward, and said confidently: "Don't bother, I know who the murderer is!" Because I watched this episode!

And once the murderer's stomach is carefully examined, it is easy to see a little incongruity.

"What?" Mr. Gaston really cried out in surprise this time. He has never seen a detective solve a case like this, and lock the murderer with just two glances? No, it's targeting the murderer who hasn't committed the crime... Is this reliable?

Mr. Gaston's cry also attracted the attention of Conan and the others, and they all looked at Abner in surprise.

Abner didn't make too much of a fuss, pointing directly at the 'fat man' with a big face, he said in one breath: "He's just a weirdo with bandages, he's actually not fat, his stomach is stuffed with cotton or something like that. It is convenient to hide things after committing crimes so that they will not be found out. The reason why he attacked this lady is because this lady has seen him changing clothes and may have discovered his secret."

Abner's words caused everyone around to look at the 'fat man' in shock, and even two other adult men had already sandwiched him between one left and one right.

Immediately afterwards, when the 'fat man' showed a gloomy expression and took out the stuffing from his stomach... At this moment, the surrounding scenes suddenly shattered, and the villas, cliffs, Conan and other scenes all disappeared. The Buner trio again fell between rewards.

The dream labyrinth only requires the identification of the murderer, and no evidence is required.

Mr. Gaston was still in a dream until this moment. After a long time, he said with emotion: "The true value of my 1,000 pounds, are all detectives so good? I thought that Conan was the most powerful detective. I did! I didn't expect..."

Detectives who have seen the plot must be so powerful! After Abner slandered, he ignored Mr. Gaston, who had gone astray in his understanding of the detective profession, and walked straight to the seat in front of the bookcase. He couldn't wait to know what the reward was.

Xio is not surprised, ever since he met Abner, he has always been so 'unexpected'.

As soon as he sat down, there was an extra note in Abner's hand -- "Aernos' Mystical Records"

"This time it seems to be giving knowledge..." Thinking so in his heart, Abner opened his notebook and began to read it seriously. This is no different than novels. Abner has always treated knowledge with great respect, especially after the transfer.

After reading the last page of the notes, he pinched his chin with his fingers habitually, thinking: "This man named Ernos should be a 'wizard' of Sequence 7 of the Hermit Path. I have learned most of the recorded ritual magic and mystic knowledge, only the last ritual of borrowing power from high-level Extraordinary items to make spells is a bit interesting, because this ritual magic bypasses the step of praying to the gods!"

What Abner valued was not the specific method of making the talisman, but the idea of ​​making it. For the Extraordinary of the "White Tower" pathway who is good at using ritual magic ~IndoMTL.com~ With novel ideas, he can create a production method that is more suitable for him.

"Originally, I couldn't make items that contact Origin Castle because I didn't want to pray to the gods... But according to this idea, I can borrow power from the pure white eye to complete it! Its personality is high enough , and the knowledge I obtained about Linking Origin Castle was originally analyzed by it, it should be no problem to temporarily grant an item... But if you want to conduct experiments, I'm afraid you have to be promoted to Sequence 7, and the spirituality of the "reasoning student" is still too Weak, I can't support such a ceremony at all."

Although it is a pity that it cannot be practiced yet, Abner is still very satisfied with the rewards of the eighth floor. This 'Dream Labyrinth Tower' is indeed very generous to those who cleared the level for the first time.

Turning his head, Abner found that Xio beside him also frowned with a smile, looking very happy.

"What did you get?" Abner asked curiously upon seeing this.

"The reward is a biography, but it mentions the name of one of the main ingredients in the potion formula of 'The Sheriff'!" Xio replied happily.

The two main materials of the sheriff seem to have been mentioned in the novel "Lord of the Mysteries"... I will find an excuse to tell Hugh reasonably in a few days. Abner thought so in his heart, but asked in his mouth: "Whose biography is it? Maybe there are other clues hidden."

"It's a biography of a Bosun of the Royal Navy named Ireland, and it tells how he was promoted from a common sailor to a bosun, and he retired at the end of the biography to become the captain of a passenger ship," said Hugh. At this point, I muttered to myself with some confusion, "It's another unfinished story...why do I always encounter this kind of writing that disappears halfway through?"

Maybe it's because you often press Forsi? Abner made a joke in his heart.
