Start with the Readers Chapter 678: Admiral of the Deep Sea
"Why did the 'King of the Five Seas' order similar items?" After hearing what Mr. Gaston said, Abner couldn't help being stunned for a moment, intuiting that the "Earl Baifeng" might have "awakened" something strange property.
Speaking of which, Abner did not really create such an item for "playing tricks", but to use this "witch transformation" to reconcile and even avoid the "cold-blooded person" in the "Apostle of Desire" feature. The influence of ", so that users will not "change their minds."
Mr. Gaston put down his magic wand, and replied with a strange expression: "Although there is no evidence, I feel that the person who actually ordered similar items should not be Mr. Nast himself, but the third officer on the 'Dark Emperor'." Littorio...he is also the holder of the 'Magic Transformation Wand-Wind' I created..."
As for his purpose? Probably because I don't want to be too "lonely" on the boat... I have to drag someone "into the water"!
I seem to have heard of this person... As soon as Abner thought about it, he remembered that when he was on the "Golden Dream", he once encountered a companion who was out of control on the "Dark Emperor"... and at that time The one who shot seems to be Littorio who is suspected of using the "magic wand of transformation"...
"'Wind Witch'?" Abner tentatively asked, he remembered that this was the nickname Edwina told him.
"You know?" Mr. Gaston looked at Abner in surprise. He thought that the other party had been immersed in the crowd of women for the past few months, and he had long since given up on other things.
——Although the topic of "heroic detective" has become a bit outdated, there are still good adventurers and pirates who are willing to spread some gossip.
Speaking of which, if it weren't for the "Becklund Great Smog Incident" that attracted the attention of everyone on the sea a few days ago, many women who appeared at the Bayam Port "to bid farewell to the 'Hero Detective', almost died The news of "tragedy" will definitely become a "hot spot".
Ebner didn't know that Mr. Gaston was thinking about something indecent, so he just said casually: "Of course I remember the big pirate with a bounty of 9,000 pounds."
Mr. Gaston shook his head and said: "His bounty has risen to 11,000 pounds per country, comparable to a pirate general."
"What did he do?" Abner asked strangely.
"It is said that he discovered the secret of the 'Vice Admiral of the Deep Sea' and destroyed his plan. The other party wanted to silence him, but failed." Mr. Gaston replied.
That's really powerful, "Vice Admiral of the Deep Sea" Hal Constantine, as a pirate general, is stronger than the general Sequence 5... and Littorio is only the "Corrupted Baron" of Sequence 6 without changing his transformation. ", the gap with the opponent is not small.
"But what does this have to do with increasing the bounty?" Abner asked puzzled.
"'Vice Admiral of the Deep Sea' is actually inextricably linked to Intis, and there are rumors that he is the illegitimate son of a big family in Trier... In short, his so-called 'secret' may also be Intis's secrets, that's why the 'Wind Witch' was offered a higher reward." As a peripheral member of the "Steam Church", Mr. Gaston himself is from Intis, so he is still very well informed.
"Is that so..." Abner thought for a while, and then asked Mr. Gaston about the inside story of this matter, but unfortunately this gentleman only knew so much.
The reason why Abner paid so much attention to this matter was because it involved the "Vice Admiral of the Deep Sea". In the rewards given by the Elf Temple, I saw a picture of "Vice Admiral of the Deep Sea" sacrificing a living person to a sea monster with the characteristic of "Prophet".
At that time, he judged that it was his chance to become Sequence 4, and he also speculated that the time and place of the other party's sacrifice should be a certain day in April, on a small island on the west side of the southern continent.
"Could the secret discovered by Littorio be related to the sacrifice of the sea monster? If so... then the sea monster seems to have a master-servant relationship not only with the 'Vice Admiral of the Deep Sea', but also with Inti A certain family on the Sri Lanka side has a contract...
"No wonder the 'Trial Temple' gave such a revelation... If you really only prepare for dealing with the 'Deep Sea Vice Admiral' and a sea monster in poor condition, you will definitely be trapped to death!"
Thinking of this, Abner secretly performed a "prophecy", confirming that his guess was correct. What Littorio discovered was indeed related to the "sea monster"...
He considered it for a while, then pushed the "Magic Transformation Wand-Fire" he made back in front of Mr. Gaston, and said, "Can I ask you a favor?"
"You want to exchange this item for information from Littorio?" Mr. Gaston guessed Abner's plan after a little thought.
"That's right, the main materials of this 'Magic Wand' are the characteristics of the 'Apostle of Desire' and the 'Witch', and the 'Apostle of Desire' was also stained with a little 'blood of the ancient god' before being killed." Breath, so you can hide in the 'firelight' without being discovered by ordinary 'half gods'...
"And its negative effects are also within the controllable range...
"Together, if it is put up for auction, it will be worth at least 10,000 pounds, which is equivalent to the bounty of the 'Wind Witch', and it is enough to exchange for the information he desperately obtained."
At this point, Abner also demonstrated the ability to "hide under the light of light", after all, Mr. Gaston failed to "identify" it just now.
After watching the demonstration, Mr. Gaston hesitated for a while, and finally nodded and said: "I will help you to negotiate a more reasonable price... but we will split the money we have won, you and I. "
"Deal." Abner agreed without any embarrassment.
After a big harvest from "Kingdom of the Night", he is now very "rich", and he doesn't care about these small money at all.
"You will leave Damir soon, right? If the transaction is completed, how should I inform you?" Mr. Gaston asked.
"Just send me a telegram. I will stay in Backlund for a few days and take care of some things." Abner replied with a smile.
…
While Abner was resting in Port Damir, Audrey, who was dressed up, stood in the palace lounge, waiting for the start of the New Year's party, but from her expression, it was impossible to tell that the coming-of-age ceremony was about to begin. Excitement, excitement and joy.
There is a newspaper in front of her, which says:
"...According to preliminary statistics, more than 10,000 people died directly in the smog, and the subsequent plague took away nearly 30,000 to 40,000 people, many of whom were young children and healthy young people Men and women..."
Phew, Audrey closed her eyes to adjust her emotions, then walked out of the lounge accompanied by her parents and entered the party hall.
Finally, the queen led her to the edge of the high platform, faced all the guests, and announced to everyone:
"Although this is a dark period in Backlund's history, we still have a gem that can illuminate the entire city. Her wisdom, her beauty, her character, and her etiquette are all impeccable .
"Today, I will officially introduce her to you.
"Miss Audrey Hall."
Bang! boom! boom!
Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, fireworks blasted into the sky, blasting out pieces of dreamy light.
On the night of the last day in 1349, Audrey officially came of age in a social sense.
…
The afternoon of January 3, 1350.
On the outskirts of the Eastern District, Klein, who had transformed into a young gentleman with neat black hair and dark brown eyes, strolled in a newly opened cemetery.
This is the new image he chose for himself, and his identity was entrusted to Miss Temperance to find someone to handle it. The name is "Gehrman Sparrow".
The cemetery he is currently in is not a real tomb, but a cabinet for storing urns, one after another, row after row, overlapping one after another.
"Mr. Corson and his wife..." Following the guidance of spirituality, Klein quickly saw the photos and spiritual cards of two people he knew.
Mr. Corson is the president of the dock workers’ union. He once entrusted him to investigate who his wife was “instigated” by, so he advocated leaving him...
Although this matter was eventually taken over by Stuart of the Church of the Storm, Klein also heard that the Corsons were going through divorce...
Unexpectedly, they were finally buried together as husband and wife.
Sighing, Klein walked past their ashes cabinet ~IndoMTL.com~ and soon saw another acquaintance.
That was the landlord of the one-bedroom house he rented in the East District. After the house was destroyed by the fight between the captain and Bishop Rose of the Aurora Society, the landlord kindly refunded the rent for him...
After looking at the cabinets one by one, Klein let out a sigh of relief, and said to himself a little gratefully: "Fortunately, old Kohler was saved by Sharon...
"The sisters Daisy and Freya are fine..."
As for his informant, Klein also asked Sharon to help arrange to go to Pritz Harbor to take care of the child of Maric's friend. After all, he has a lot of intersections with Detective Sherlock. If the authorities investigate him, they will definitely find him. ...It is better for him to remain anonymous.
While thinking this way in his heart, Klein looked around, and saw only names and photos left here, and even the victims who didn't have these.
Then he turned around, left the cemetery without looking back, and rushed to the Backlund train station.
…
Woo!
The steam train arrived in Backlund with countless people full of hope. Abner dragged the suitcase and got out of the car one after another with the restored red-haired Elaine, while "Lion" Leon turned into a lion. The orange cat followed them.
At this time, a brother and sister also carried suitcases, followed the crowd, walked out of the station, and walked side by side with Abner.
At the same time, Miss Sharon, who was like an exquisite doll, also happened to send Klein to the station and separated from him.
Abner and Klein glanced at each other, and they both recognized each other, but they didn't talk to each other tacitly.
But when the three parties passed each other, the sister of the brother and sister suddenly turned her head, looked at Abner a few times, and then asked uncertainly:
"Are you Detective Abner Bryan?"
