Start with the Readers Chapter 485: How
Southern Continent, Gurain City, in the underground wine cellar of the Wall family.
Abner, who has just "lived" a round of "points" in the "Dream Labyrinth Tower", is about to rest for a while, and then go to screen those who have questions to ask "Doctor Strange" tonight...
But at this moment, a crimson light burst out in front of his eyes, completely engulfing him who was caught off guard.
When the sight was restored, towering stone pillars appeared in front of the eyes. They stood above the boundless gray and white mist, supporting a magnificent palace like a giant's residence.
Frozen for a second, Abner finally realized that he was pulled above the gray mist by Mister Fool, so he turned his gaze to the top of the mottled long table.
As expected, there was a mysterious figure shrouded in thick gray fog sitting there, leaning back in the chair, as if looking down on everything in the world.
Of course, these sentence patterns are just descriptions that Abner remembered when recalling the plot of the original work, not his real feelings...
In fact, there is only one thought in his mind at the moment: "You can really pretend!"
Even though he knew that Klein was pretending, Abner still respectfully saluted and said, "Mr. Fool, what are your orders for inviting me here?"
The "Fool" shrouded in gray mist laughed lowly: "It is my 'favored one' who seeks your help."
As soon as he finished speaking, the rogue "Dark Emperor" who had been hidden for a long time appeared. He first bowed to "The Fool" and then turned his head to look at Abner, laughing in a low voice Said: "We meet again."
Abner watched Klein's "performance" calmly, and he was already complaining in his heart: Your acting skills are getting better and better... It seems that after listening to the last Tarot meeting "The Hanged Man" After Mr.'s on-site teaching, not only me and "Sun" have improved!
Of course, no matter what he thought in his heart, Abner said enthusiastically on the surface: "Thank you for your help to the 'trial' last time. Even though I was at sea, I heard about your reputation as a grand thief."
Speaking of which, he paused, and then asked curiously: "What do you want me to do this time?"
What kind of prestige can a grand thief have? Could it be the robbery of Cappin's safe? That's not what I did! Klein slandered a few words, and without wasting any more time, he went straight to the topic and said:
"I heard that you are an expert in ritual magic, so I hope you can help me decipher an ongoing ceremony...
"Well, in exchange, I will help you investigate or divination the origin of the 'Crystal of Misfortune', without you needing to pay for the note written by the 'Wanderer'... In addition, I will give you an additional reward .”
Speaking, Klein directly manifested the ritual altar in the basement of the Aurora Society's stronghold. Because he observed it carefully before, the degree of restoration was extremely high, and even the feeling of "decadence" exuded was vivid.
As for where will the compensation come from? There is still the corpse of the "witch" lying in that basement, so it can be compensated by her Extraordinary characteristics.
Don't you need me to pay for the notes again? Did you write down everything in that note? After muttering a few words in his heart, Abner observed the displayed image solemnly, then frowned and asked, "Is this the 'Abyss of Flesh and Blood' of the Aurora Society?"
How did Klein get involved in the events of the Aurora Society? There is no such paragraph in the original book... Is this also my butterfly effect?
Just when Abner was wondering, Klein, who was pretending to be the "Dark Emperor", said pleasantly: "That's right, Mr. Tower, you are indeed an expert in ritual magic!
"Don't know how to damage or destroy it?"
Abner came back to his senses after hearing the words, and he didn't think about the original book again. After all, he was quite aware of the horror of the "Abyss of Flesh and Flesh". If he couldn't stop it in time, many people might die.
Because he was not at the scene, he could not use the "Pure White Eye" to cheat. This time the incident is really testing Abner's previous accumulation and knowledge!
Fortunately, after learning and exchanging with "Vice Admiral Iceberg" Edwina during this period of time, coupled with the study of several mystical books such as "Book of Images and Elements", he was able to learn from the mysterious There has been a lot of progress in the field of academics, and he can be called a genuine "polymath".
Brain turned rapidly, and Abner fully utilized his "analysis" ability to perform various simulations. Combined with the knowledge he had learned, he quickly came up with a plan—a plan that probably only Klein could succeed.
He deliberated for a few seconds, and said in Klein's expectation, "I thought of a way...but it's very difficult."
"What way?" Klein asked in a deep voice.
Abner organized the next sentence, and then explained while embodying the image:
"Arrange another ceremony outside the 'Abyss of Flesh and Flesh' to temporarily 'distort' the 'sacrifice' pointing of the 'Abyss of Flesh and Flesh', and then the new recipient of the 'sacrifice' will unilaterally end the ceremony.
"There are two difficulties with this method... First, a high-level item of the 'Lawyer' path is required as the core of the ritual, so that there is a chance, and it is possible to 'distort' the ritual that points to the 'True Creator'... ...
"Second, the existence that accepts the 'sacrifice' after modifying the pointing... Because the effect of the 'distortion' will not last long, so that existence needs to cooperate and respond in time..."
That is to say, can't point to the "righteous god"? After all, the "response" mechanisms of the righteous gods are relatively "mechanical", unlike him... the **** is always "online"...
Klein nodded thoughtfully, and at the same time glanced at Abner, thinking that the other party might have guessed that his spirit body was blessed by the "Dark Emperor Card", which made it so mysterious.
"Otherwise, he wouldn't have mentioned this method... After all, the description of the high-level items of the 'Lawyer' pathway is like a test for me...
"No wonder he didn't request to see that card like 'Justice' and 'The Hanged Man'. He should have guessed it a long time ago, right?
"Well, I thought he must also have a 'blasphemy card' in his hand... If that's the case, based on his understanding of the 'blasphemy card', after seeing the spirit body of the grand thief 'Dark Emperor' I'm afraid I guessed it at that moment...
"However, these two so-called difficulties are really nothing to me."
Klein, who is also rich in mystic knowledge, naturally saw that this method is indeed feasible, but after thinking for a few seconds, he asked again: "Is there any other way?"
"Yes!" Abner nodded with certainty, and continued, "Using the 'half-god' level, or the power of divinity, the 'ritual' can be forcibly destroyed...but the result after the destruction is unpredictable, Perhaps the backlash caused is more terrifying than the normal ceremony...
"If you want to completely suppress this kind of backlash, I'm afraid you have to take action from an angel... Ordinary demigods can at most reduce the loss."
After finishing speaking, he looked at Mr. "Fool" above him seemingly "respectfully". The meaning was self-evident, which was to ask the thief "Dark Emperor" in front of him to ask Mr. "Mr. Fool" to send an angel.
After all, even Forsi used "Angel's Protection" to block the investigation, Mr. "Fool" can't favor one over another... So, let's see how you act... Abner thought secretly, and stared Eyes waiting for the "show" behind.
At this moment, Klein felt a little helpless: If I really had an angel, would I still need to ask you for help?
However, he is not interested in acting at this time, and the situation is urgent. If it is delayed, something may happen there, so after a short thought, Klein nodded to Abner and said:
"Thank you for your suggestion, Mr. Tower...the reward will be given to you after the matter is over...I will not waste your time."
After speaking, without waiting for Abner to respond, he turned to The Fool again, bowed and saluted, bid farewell to him, and then disappeared.
The "Fool" looked at Abner after he "disappeared", and said calmly, "Let's go here."
Throw it away after use... Although Abner was a little disappointed, he guessed that Klein might be short on time, so he didn't say much, and got up to say goodbye to The Fool.
After returning to reality, Abner sat in the wine cellar and pondered for a while, and finally decided not to let the residents of La Gulain sleep tonight. After all, the opponent is the Aurora Society. He has to be ready to support at all times...
As for how to support? In addition to knowledge consultation, it is naturally a high-level charm that his new "liver" got.
"Moreover, this time I really used my accumulation to help Klein solve the problem... This is also a relatively successful 'acting', right?"
After talking to himself, Abner picked up the book to read while waiting for the "feedback" to arrive.
…
Becklund, Bridge South District, No. 6 Rhinest Street.
In front of the **** statue in the basement, Klein once again came here as the "Grand Thief" Black Emperor with the help of his "secret bond" with Xiao Ke.
Seeing him coming, the "Happy Witch" Lina, who was standing by, came over with the iron box containing Extraordinary characteristics, and said as if claiming credit: "This is what the 'witch' just released~IndoMTL.com~ I collected it for you."
Although Irene can be said to be killed by the two of them together, Lina has no intention of asking for a share... After all, there is an evil **** behind the other party, and she needs to take action to solve the current predicament.
"Let's wait and say more." Klein waved his hand, and then quickly distributed the materials he brought to restore the ritual arrangement method that Mr. "Tower" manifested above the gray fog.
And he himself stood on the most central altar! After all, the core of this "distorted" ritual is the "Dark Emperor Card" he incorporated.
This is it? Lina looked surprised, and with her knowledge of mysticism, she could barely see the effect of the newly arranged ceremony.
"I don't know which master of ritual magic he found... unexpectedly came up with such a method...
"Is the evil **** named 'The Fool' behind him watching this all the time? Could it be because of Xiao Ke?"
Thinking of this, Lina couldn't help but look at Xiao Ke who was drooling in the dream, and felt that she must have guessed wrong.
