Start with the Readers Chapter 45: Mr. Gaston’s Extraordinary Gathering


The first three floors of this dream maze test the reasoning and analysis abilities of passers-by, and the abilities shown in the generated scenes are diverse, making people have to guess that this tower is likely to be related to Omniscience and omnipotence are related to the five pathways.

Regardless of which of the five paths of omniscience and omnipotence this possible "blasphemy card" is, it is what Abner needs.

"And the 'White Tower Card' is the most likely to be hidden here! After all, this dream maze originally existed in the form of a tower, and coupled with the deliberate testing of reasoning, this shouldn't be just a coincidence..."

After taking a few breaths, Abner suppressed the eager desire in his heart. He understood that with his current self, he would never be able to reach the first floor no matter what. Even if you get up by luck, you can't hold back what you get. Because the top is probably the "multiplayer online battle" mode specially created by the emperor!

In the next few days, Abner worked voluntarily as a substitute teacher in the school and helped the residents of the island find their lost property. At the same time, he studied the "Aernos' Mystery Records" obtained from the tower at night. very fulfilling.

Xio also left early and came back late, looking around for clues about the main ingredient of the 'Magistrate' potion. She seemed to have received news of the 'Dread Demon Insect' a day ago, and she is currently confirming it.

And Mr. Gaston spends 12 hours a day in the dream maze. The appearance of forgetting to eat and sleep reminds Abner of those Internet-addicted teenagers who died suddenly in Internet cafes in his previous life.

Busy time always flies by, and it is Thursday night in a blink of an eye.

Since an extraordinary party was about to be held, it was rare for Mr. Gaston not to enter the Dreamland Labyrinth Tower. Instead, he came to the "Sword and Fire" bar early to prepare the venue.

Abner and Hugh did not accompany him, but disguised themselves, and entered the secret room in the bar using the code that Mr. Gaston had given in advance.

Because this is an island town, the formal attire is too eye-catching, so Abner deliberately changed into a fairly clean sailor outfit, painted his face with the oil paint that sailors like, and even rubbed his hair. mess. He looked in the mirror and found that he almost couldn't recognize himself, so he nodded in satisfaction.

But when Abner saw Xio in the back street of the bar, the corners of his mouth twitched in embarrassment, because the other party was dressed in the same dress as him! The same half-worn sailor suit, the same oil paint, even the hair is messier than before. The only difference is that Xio is a head shorter than him, which is the result of her padding.

"It would be inconspicuous if a person was dressed like this, but if the two of us stand there together, I always feel that it looks even more special... Besides, I don't know if it's an illusion, Hugh's dress is pretty decent, And I, who is dressed in the same way, is a bit more ridiculous?" Thinking of this, Abner sighed inwardly.

"What are you looking at?" Xio felt that Abner's gaze was a bit strange, so he looked down at his attire, but found nothing wrong.

"Um, I don't think it's necessary for us to go in separately... Others must think we're in the same group." It's too late to change the disguise now, so Abner had no choice but to break the can. As the saying goes, bumping into a shirt is not scary...

Xio didn't think it was a problem, anyway, no one recognized the two of them, as long as their faces were not remembered by the officials or undercover pirates, everything else didn't matter.

At 7:55, carrying all his savings and a few newly made charms, Abner felt quite complicated and stepped into the secret room where Mr. Gaston held the party.

He ended up wearing a black robe over his sailor suit after all, using the shadow of the hood to hide his oil-painted face.

"845 pounds in cash, and 5 low-level charms. This is all my property. I don't know how much I will have left after this party..." Abner sat down in a seat full of thoughts, and then By the light of the candlelight in the secret room, he swept around.

Almost all men... not many women, not counting Hugh, only two. So who among them will be that 'Miss Gwynn'?

After a few minutes, Mr. Gaston, who was wearing a special mask, clapped his hands and said:

"Let's get started."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone couldn't wait to speak. It was a "lady" who was over 1.8 meters tall and covered her body tightly, but could vaguely see the curve of her chest. one of the two ladies.

She suppressed her voice and said:

"Did the friend who bought the venom crystal of the crown jellyfish come last time?"

"Here we come." A man sitting in the corner replied succinctly.

The tall lady breathed a sigh of relief, reached out to take out a box, and said urgently: "I need a weapon that can restrain giant python-like creatures. It can do anything. It has serious negative effects and even has a validity period of only one or two days. It doesn't matter if it's a month! If there is, it's yours!"

"I don't have such a weapon, can I pay? I'm willing to pay 150 pounds!" The man in the corner asked after thinking for a while. .

The lady frowned, and when she was about to answer, she heard Mr. Gaston in the chair say with a smile: "I have such a weapon, and I can sell it to that gentleman for 150 pounds, and then let him and the You exchange."

The tall lady was overjoyed when she heard the words, but she still asked cautiously: "What kind of weapon?"

Mr. Gaston organized the language and replied:

"Supernatural creatures like snakes and pythons living in dark caves are generally afraid of light!"

"This is an arrow made of sacred sunbird feathers. I remember that you are good at using bows and arrows, ma'am, so you should be able to control it."

"When it hits the target, it will ignite a pure holy fire of light in the internal organs of the opponent. It is very powerful, but it is a pity that it can only be fired again, otherwise it will not be so cheap."

"Currently it is valid for three months."

"If you want, you can exchange now."

The tall lady and the man sitting in the corner looked at each other, and understood that the arrow was actually not worth so much money. But who makes them in demand?

The lady looked around, expecting others to participate in the bidding, but unfortunately, no one objected, so she could only grit her teeth and nodded, "I'll change!"

After witnessing this transaction, Abner almost confirmed that this tall lady was the 'Gwen' he was looking for. First, the crown jellyfish also appeared in "Gwen's Cave Adventure", and it is one of the monsters that the protagonist Gwen led the team to kill together. Second, according to the records of this adventure book, her team was wiped out by the giant dragon eye snake~IndoMTL.com~ Only she fled back alone, seeking revenge. This is also in line with the previous lady's behavior of asking for a weapon to restrain the python...

But how do you start a conversation with this lady?

Just as Abner lowered his head to think, the transaction at the party continued. Someone bought a pair of magical items called "Boots of the Ocean" for 600 pounds. Free activities for more than half an hour, limited to cast some water-related spells. And a extraordinary material called "Fruit of the Elder Tree" sold for a high price of 750 pounds, which is astonishing.

According to the mystical knowledge and the content of the original book, Abner knows that this extraordinary material should be one of the main materials of Sequence 7 "Psychic Doctor".

Could it be that the person who bought it was a member of the "Psychological Alchemy Society", Abner silently glanced at the lady who took the "fruit of the Elder Tree". Yes, she was the last lady of the party besides Hugh and the tall lady.

"He is of medium height, a little taller than the padded Hugh. The face cannot be seen, but the hair exposed outside is red... This is very distinctive! Of course, this may also be deliberately dyed to conceal people's eyes and ears. .” After reasoning and analyzing, Abner turned his attention back to the party. He is just habitually wary of the 'audience' and has no intention of contacting the other party.

Some of the following transactions were successful, while others were unsuccessful. The former was less and the latter was more. After all, most of the Extraordinary people who came to the party had a clear purpose and would not waste money and resources at will.

It was not until the end that Abner saw that no one proposed a new deal, so he said:

"I need the exact clues of the dragon eye python, 200 pounds!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt the tall lady's eyes on him.
