Start with the Readers Chapter 79: Giant
Fors didn't wear her favorite beige long dress with ruffled collar, but a blue female riding outfit embroidered with beautiful patterns, with a beige lace scarf tied into a bow tie at the neckline , at first glance, it looks a bit heroic.
It's a pity that there is no energy in her light blue eyes, as if she may fall asleep at any time, and her temperament is slightly decadent, which destroys the overall sense of sassy.
As soon as she entered the door, she glanced at the store habitually. After she found Abner, she was a little surprised. She walked to the seat opposite him and sat down. Said: "Where is Hugh? Where did she go?"
"Hugh is still settling down with her family in East Chester County, and I'm afraid she won't be able to return to Backlund for a few days... She asked me to apologize to you for not being able to return as promised." Although Abner I was a little curious about Xianyu's new attire, but I still brought Xio's message to her as agreed.
"So it's like this... Just now I only saw you but didn't see Xio. If I followed the plot in my novel, I might hear something bad..." Forsi breathed a sigh of relief. The tense face also eased, and there was a bit of familiar banter in his eyes.
"So there is something wrong with the plot of your novel, especially the setting of a certain 'evil spirit'." Although Abner and Xianyu are not as familiar with Xio, they can still take a joke of this level of.
"You actually knew?" Forsi was a little surprised at first, and then suddenly said, "By the way, Xio should have brought you a sample booklet."
"As far as I know, "Storm Heights" has been selling well in Loen in the past month. You are already a well-known female writer, Miss Wall." Although Abner was full of complaints about the plot of the book, But it doesn't prevent him from feeling that the stories inside are really interesting, and best-selling novels must be read. What if the layers behind the "Dream Labyrinth Tower" turn these novel stories into dream scenes? It is not impossible to "real-time update" the information of the outside world by that tower.
"By the way, why are you dressed like this? And you look tired?" Abner saw that Forsi lacked interest in his fame, so he changed the subject and asked.
"Today I am accompanying Viscount Glaint to go hunting in the countryside... Why are the nobles so keen on such a boring and meaningless activity?" The animals who were shot to death complained feebly.
Because hunting is a pleasure for men, the ladies who are watching by the side will naturally suffer... After Abner complained in his heart about the hunting activities in this era, the focus shifted to Gray On Viscount Lint, he asked thoughtfully: "It seems that you have successfully caught up with the children of the upper class nobles?"
"That's right, I met Earl Hall's daughter, Miss Audrey the day before yesterday." Since Abner proposed this plan to get close to the noble's children, Fors did not hide anything from him.
"You didn't directly ask her to investigate Hugh's father's injustice, did you?" Abner asked worriedly. If she had asked this directly, then Audrey might not be willing to help such a big favor when the friendship between the two parties is not deep, and she might even alienate them.
"Am I that unreliable in your eyes?" Forsi was a little annoyed upon hearing this.
If you know that Xio thinks you may starve to death at home, you will know that I still trust you... Abner slandered a few words, but seeing Forsi's reaction, I knew it in my heart, Asked: "It seems that you should use MI9's investigation of Hugh as an excuse for initial contact?"
"That's right, as expected of a detective, the deduction is really good!" Fors glanced at Abner in admiration, and continued, "Although this is an excuse, Xio and I really want to know who is behind it What a ghost."
Actually, I also want to know... because this person is probably related to the witch. Abner thought to himself.
"Today, I went to participate in the hunting of Viscount Grelint just to take the opportunity to learn about the outcome of this matter..." Forsi said this, her stomach suddenly growled. His temper felt a little blushing for a moment.
Seeing this, Abner shook his head and laughed, and hastily asked the waiter to order some less troublesome meals that could be served immediately, and then returned to the topic just now.
"Viscount Grelint said that a lieutenant named Bernard Carraway gave the order, but the Viscount did not disclose the specific information of this person. He only told me that Hugh's investigation order will be withdrawn within three or four days at most. "Forsi said while eating elegantly and quickly, while taking the time to say,
"Bernar Carrawi..." Abner muttered the name, and quickly searched the original novels in his memory, but found nothing, which made him a little disappointed.
It seems that I have to go to the relevant files of the teacher to check again...
After finishing dinner with Forsi, Abner remembered the teacher's banquet tomorrow night, so he extended an invitation to her.
But Forsi is not interested in this. She has attended too many banquets, dances and reading parties recently. She just wanted to lie in bed quietly on Sunday, so she rejected it cleanly.
Knowing her temperament early, Abner was not disappointed, and bid farewell to her after paying 1 soli and 4 pence to settle the bill.
After leaving the restaurant, Abner followed the address on the business card given by reporter Mike to the outside of a townhouse in the South District, and put the invitation letter written at the office into the mailbox in front of the villa.
At this time, the sky was completely dark, and Abner walked on the dark street where only a few gas street lamps were still functioning, and hurried to the subway station, hoping to catch up with the last one before it stopped working. class one.
Suddenly, his spirituality seemed to be touched, and his eyes quickly turned to a corner not far away, where there seemed to be a tall figure hiding in it.
In the apartments on both sides ~IndoMTL.com~ there was a little candlelight, which was intertwined with the crimson moonlight that was difficult to penetrate through the clouds, barely outlining the outline of the figure.
It was a tall man in his 40s or 50s wearing a brown priest's uniform. He was sitting on the ground at this moment, his breath was extremely unstable, and his face was sometimes ferocious and sometimes kind, and he felt as if he was about to lose control.
Just sitting there is like a hill... Is this a descendant of a giant? Wait, this is the South Borough... a giant, still dressed like a priest, he must be Father Utravsky, right?
Abner thought so in his heart, but he was not slow in his hands. He quickly took the revolver in his gun bag and opened his "Pure White Eye" at the same time, hoping to find out what happened to the suspected giant bishop. What is the situation.
"Son, don't get any closer. It's hard for me to control my actions now, and I might hurt you! You'd better stay away from here and go to the police station to call the police." Seeing that Abner seemed to have the intention of stepping forward to check , said the giant sitting at the corner.
Listening to the tone, it seems that there is still hope... Abner was relieved after hearing the words. After a few short seconds, the "Pure White Eye" had initially analyzed the cause of the giant's current dire situation. Where are the roots.
To put it simply, he was hit by a spiritual curse in black magic, which aroused his old psychological problems, leading to a tendency to lose control.
Seeing that the priest was still thinking about not hurting others when he was about to lose control, Abner also felt a little compassion. After thinking for a while, he asked: "Mr. Priest, I can simulate summoning a sun." The holy light of the domain, I wonder if it can alleviate your situation?"
The giant's eyes hidden under the soft hat obviously brightened when he heard this, and his light and sparse eyebrows also raised, saying:
"You can try it!"
