Start with the Readers Chapter 47: Growing Miss Gwen
The latest website: Andorra, the free city, in the luxury room of the "Four Seasons" hotel.
Miss Gwen, who was nearly 1.9 meters tall, was arranging the ceremony, reinforcing the "seal" on a silver straight sword with a one-eyed giant mouth at the top of the hilt.
This is the "Level 1" sealed item "Sword of Xiyin" that Abner lent her for self-defense, only if she is over 1.8 meters tall
It can be picked up, and its full strength can only be exerted when it exceeds two meters.
Moreover, the one-eyed giant mouth at the top of the hilt is still a chattering "talker". If the holder does not respond to it, perhaps at a certain critical moment, the "Sword of Xiyin" will suddenly give up resistance, or even attack. master;
But if the holder is willing to talk to that head statue, he will be on the verge of madness...
So Abner's suggestion to Miss Gwen is to use a ritual to "seal" the head of the person who obviously has the quality of "alive".
Although this will definitely lose some of the power of this sealed item, since Miss Gwen is less than two meters tall, she can't fully utilize it, so it doesn't matter if it loses a little bit.
As for the method of "sealing", Abner is naturally responsible for it. For this reason, Miss Gwen also learned the honorable name of a "hidden" existence:
"O Lord of the Souls from Eternal Darkness;
"You are the Lord of the Dead, the King of Conquest;
"You are the **** of war and destruction."
Although she was instinctively afraid and wary of this honorable name that clearly had the level of "True God", out of trust in Abner, she still hesitated and prayed to him, and successfully gained support" The power of the sealing ceremony".
Moreover, Miss Gwen was somewhat relieved that nothing else terrible happened.
In fact, only Miss Gwen is a "wild" Extraordinary who "self-taught" with some occult books
A similar decision was made... Lydia and Tran, no matter how much they trusted Abner, would never dare to establish contact with a hidden existence of unknown origin.
After completing the ceremony of strengthening the "seal", Miss Gwen breathed a sigh of relief, and put the long sword back into the scabbard.
For Gwen, who is far away from the "Black Throne" and cannot use its power to "transform" the ship girl, this "
The Sword of Xiyin" is the greatest guarantee of her safety.
After packing up the ritual items in the room, Miss Gwen removed the "Spiritual Wall", opened the door and let Lydia and Tran who were waiting outside enter the room.
"Tran, Lydia, you guys are back...how is the situation?" Miss Gwen asked after pouring two cups of coffee for them.
"I secretly inquired about the situation of the small town of Lancer...Although this town has a long history, it does have some problems..." Lydia took a sip of coffee and organized The language continued, "It is said that the residents there have been adhering to certain ancient rituals for thousands of years to pray for good weather and the rotation of the seasons."
"In addition, it is said that the townspeople there have banned orders since a long time ago, completely obeying the mayor and other officials in the town, and have the characteristics of an 'army,'... It is not like what we speculated before, recently It was secretly occupied by a group of Segal rebels.
"The reason why Joanna and Simon disappeared in the small town of Lancer may be more complicated than we imagined."
"I can understand praying for good weather...but why do you have to pray for the rotation of the seasons? Isn't this a natural law?" Miss Gwen asked with a frown.
"I don't know..." However, according to the information of our blood race, Andorra seems to have worshiped an evil spirit called "God of the Four Seasons" in the ignorant age long ago... .. maybe because of this?
"By the way, the reason why the hotel we are currently in is called 'Four Seasons' seems to be due to this legend." Li
Dia put down the cup and said uncertainly.
"Is that so..." Miss Gwen nodded thoughtfully, looked at Tran again, and asked softly, "How about you
Where is it?
"The taverns and bars originally didn't have any missions or encumbrances about the small town of Lancer... But fortunately, there happened to be a lady who wanted to hire mercenaries to protect her from going to that town, so I I snatched this commission." Tran recounted in detail what happened at the "Chalk" tavern.
"Is it too coincidental?" After listening to Tran's words, Lydia questioned, "Have you investigated the background of that lady?"
"Naturally investigated..." The lady has a clear Ruen style from her appearance to her conversation, and she claims to be an external professor of the History Department of the University of Trier. The small town of Lancer is also to study the folklore there.
"In addition, she also has a male assistant with her. The accent is from Intis Toulon, and her appearance and personality also have typical Intis characteristics.
"In short, they should have nothing to do with Segal or Andorra..."
Tran was interrupted by Miss Gwen as soon as she said this: "'It should, but it can't be used as evidence...you investigate
Is there any background on them?”
"Investigation..." I traced a series of trajectories before and after their entry into Andorra by means of "wizards"
, their various procedures are complete, and they have passed my 'divination, confirmation, and there is no problem... In addition, I also asked the 'messenger to ask Betty who stayed behind in Trier, she also The information about those two people was found from the University of Trier, which is completely consistent with what I saw.
"So, I think their purpose may not be pure, but their identity must be true. After all, it cannot be faked at all..."
Tran said solemnly.
What he doesn't know is that manipulating "information" and creating false identities is easy for Abner, a "spiritual angel". He didn't even use the "memory theater" to do it properly. Of course, many witnesses were found to confirm that Forsi was the youngest external professor at the University of Trier.
Of course, this method is still far from the "consultation coverage" of "Memory Theater", and it will leave many loopholes, but it is not a big problem to hide it from Tran and Gwen in a short time.
Sure enough, after hearing that Tran had done too many levels of verification, Miss Gwen nodded in satisfaction, and then said after deliberation:
"Since they are not directly related to the town of Lancer, we don't care about their purpose. We just need to use their identities to enter the town and find Simon and Josena.
"Well, if you can, you still have to protect the safety of that professor and her assistant."
Speaking of which, she paused for a moment, then asked again: "Where are you going to gather, and when are you going to leave?"
"One o'clock in the afternoon, near the west gate... By the way, the professor originally wanted to take a carriage, but because the waterway can connect to a small pier near Lancer, they decided to Take a boat... This can greatly reduce the harassment of bandits and rebels, although we are not afraid." Tran replied truthfully.
"There is still more than an hour..." Miss Gwen glanced at the clock and told Lydia, "Let the assault team
The members finished their lunch as soon as possible, and we will go to the west of the city to gather in half an hour. "
As a back-up "Pirate General", Miss Gwen's subordinates will no longer only have Tran and Lydia as before.
A wide and sparkling river flows between the plains and mountains, and large ships that are gorgeous or loaded with cargo pass through the water gate in the east of the city to the pier in Andorra la Vella.
On both sides of the river, there are many coolies gathering, shouting chant, dragging the ropes, and pulling the big boats to the destination step by step~IndoMTL.com~In the wind that normal people would feel cold, these trackers All of them were naked to the waist, and there was faint white steam around the skin.
Although Andorra la Vella faces the Misty Sea to the west, it can barely be regarded as a port city, but its main urban area is not close to the sea, so these ships need to go upstream and dock at the inland river terminal.
Originally, a large part of sea-going ships were powered by steam, so there was no need for trackers to pull fibers at all, but the River Works Association and
The Tugboat Owners Association resolutely boycotted steamships, and the city hall of Andorra had no choice but to sign a decree that does not allow steam engines to be turned on after seagoing boats enter inland waterways.
"If I hadn't left home to be a mercenary, maybe I would have become one of them..." A member of Gwen's assault team couldn't help but sigh with emotion when he saw this scene.
His name is Alex, he is a native of Andorra, and he is now a Sequence 9 "Hunter".
On the other side, Abner, who was accompanying Fors and Ms. Gwen to make contact, turned his head and glanced at Mr. Alex, then nodded thoughtfully.
