Start with the Readers Chapter 80: Mask


The Holy Light in the Sun Domain, Abner has seen Mr. Gaston use Extraordinary items more than once when fighting monsters on Damir Island, so the analysis of "Pure White Eye" is relatively complete, and it is simulated now. , at least has more than 80% of the effect of the original version.

With the clear and pure warm light falling from the sky, it fell straight to the head of the giant priest. A scream followed, and a golden flame outlined a phantom figure above the priest's head!

After a short stalemate between the phantom and the golden light, they were quickly defeated.

Then, in the warm and bright light, all the coldness, all the evil, and all the dark shadows quickly dissipated.

Looking at the holy light he summoned, Abner nodded in satisfaction. He didn't know if it was a coincidence, but he always felt that his simulation effect on the abilities of the other four pathways of "omnipotence" was far better than other extraordinary pathways.

For example, Hugh's "majesty", even if it is only a Sequence 9 ability, he can simulate at most five or six points. As for the related abilities of 'Wind Blessed One' and 'Sun Priest', even though they are both very difficult, the simulated effects are better.

"If I could prepare the ceremony in advance and pray for help from the Eternal Blazing Sun when I simulated the Holy Light just now, the effect of exorcism may not be inferior to that of the original 'Sun Priest'...Of course, this is just a thought, I am a knowledgeable person praying to the Eternal Blazing Sun? I am afraid that He will give me a 'Spear of Darkness' on the spot!"

After a few words of self-mockery in his heart, Abner turned his attention to the giant priest not far away. At this time, the traces of the other party's loss of control had disappeared, and his wrinkled cheeks returned to peace. He was closing his eyes tightly, clasped his hands, and pressed his chin, as if he was making the most pious confession.

After a while, he opened his eyes, revealing a light blue color, and said to Abner with a smile: "My child, thank you. I'm fine now."

It seems that he has temporarily suppressed the former him from the essence? That's right, the giant priest's situation wasn't that bad. If he hadn't been cursed by black magic, he wouldn't have gotten close to losing control.

From this point of view, although the Dawn Knight also has the ability to exorcise evil spirits, compared with the Sun Domain, there is still a gap.

After these thoughts came to mind, Abner did not withdraw the revolver, nor did he continue to approach, but asked cautiously: "Mr. Priest, do you have anything else that you need my help for?" The implication is that I have nothing else to do and I will leave first.

"My name is Ivanov Ilyich Utravsky, you can call me Father Utravsky. Sincerely thank you, child." In a peaceful but emotional voice, Utravsky Bishop Travsky stood up. He was more than 2.20 meters tall, with a strong physique and tight priest uniform, like a legendary giant reappearing in the Northern Continent.

Compared with calling you by your name, it's actually easier to call you Mr. Father! Abner complained about the way the name of the Feysac Empire was formed in his heart, but on the surface he asked with concern: "Mr. Priest, why are you cursed by evil spirits?"

"I didn't notice for a while, and I was ambushed when I was tracking a thief..." Father Utravsky explained vaguely, and then sincerely said to Abner:

"Son, you saved me, and I will repay you. But today is very late, I don't think you can rest assured to follow me back... Well, you can come to the Harvest Church on Rose Flower Street tomorrow during the day, At that time, I will prepare a thank you gift for you."

Regarding this, Abner did not hypocritically refuse. Although saving the priest was just a matter of convenience, since Lilith has already paid attention to him, it is only natural to get some wool from his hands.

As for completely curing the priest's schizophrenia? That should be left to Klein who is looking for a magician to perform in the future. He has no plans to work hard for a half-baked person. Even for the members of the Tarot Society who have a good impression of him, except for Hugh, Abner's current thinking is still to provide limited help within the scope of his ability without revealing himself.

After watching Father Utravsky disappear into the night with vigorous steps, Abner narrowed his eyes and analyzed the other party's previous answer:

"In the novel, this priest knew everything about Klein who broke into the Harvest Church rashly. Why did he speak so vaguely when he came to me? No, what he said to Klein was his own business, so That’s why it’s so frank... So, this time, it’s very likely that it’s related to the affairs of the Church of the Mother Earth.”

"I was ambushed while chasing the thief... With the priest's powerful frontal combat ability, if he wanted to assassinate him, the opponent obviously planned it in advance... and using black magic to curse, very similar to the handwriting of a witch..."

"If the witch really did it, I don't know what she stole from Father Utravsky."

After thinking for a while, Abner didn't waste any more time. He hurried to the subway station and took the last subway back to the teacher's home in the Hillston area.

After a short break, Abner borrowed '2-081' to analyze it for a while according to the usual practice before leaving Backlund, and then read the books in the teacher's study for a while before returning to himself. The room fell into a deep sleep.

On the next day, that is, in the early morning of July 22, Abner had a simple breakfast and was about to go out to the Harvest Church in the South District to see what thank-you gifts Father Utravsky had prepared for him. Detective Stanton walks over with a stack of newspapers and places them on the table.

Abner glanced down and found that the top one was the "Daily Observer" where Mike was a reporter.

"You also solved a murder case on the return passenger ship? You didn't mention this when you told your experience before." Detective Essinger asked with a smile.

Because that matter may involve the Mercury Serpent, it's better if you don't know about it as a Sequence 7... Well, although I am also a Sequence 7, I already have a lot of eyes, and I don't feel like biting if I have too many lice. up.

Abner laughed at himself a few words, and then briefly told the teacher how the child was stuck to death by a nut, not even mentioning the gold coin from the Solomon Empire period.

"It feels a bit too coincidental..." Detective Essinger is worthy of being an old fritter, and immediately heard something wrong from his student's words, but he saw that Abner didn't have any intention of explaining it. , I didn’t go into it, and said instead: "That Mike reporter is quite a friend. He actually published this matter on the second edition. It seems that you will soon gain a good reputation."

Although the "Daily Observer" is not the best newspapers, its circulation is quite large, only slightly higher than that of "Tasok Newspaper", "Backlund Daily" and other large newspapers covering the entire Loen Kingdom. inferior.

Being able to appear in such a newspaper, even if it only gets a small section, is enough to give Abner a lot of fame.

"So I invited him to the dance tonight." Abner replied with a smile after swallowing the last piece of ham.

……

Harvest Church is one of the few churches of the Church of the Mother Earth in the Loen Kingdom, and it is also the only church in Backlund that believes in the Mother Earth.

This golden church has a striking spire and the holy emblem of life engraved on the outer wall. It is a simple baby surrounded by symbols such as ears of wheat, flowers and spring water, which is completely different from the surrounding buildings. .

Abner pushed in through the tall main entrance, and looked around. In the church hall, rows of seats were arranged neatly. On the top was a huge holy emblem of life, and on both sides were lit candles. . Although it is clean and bright, it seems that there is not a single believer.

On a seat in the front row, the mountain-like priest Utravsky was praying with his eyes closed. At this moment, when he heard someone coming in, he opened his eyes and turned around.

Seeing that it was Abner who came, the corners of the priest's lips curled up a little bit, and he said with a kind smile:

"Child, you are here."

"Thank you again from the bottom of my heart for saving me."

"In addition, I have already prepared the thank you gift."

While speaking, he took out a mask of invisible material from the pocket of the brown priest's uniform. The mask is painted with exaggerated colors and weird textures, resembling a clown.

"This is actually the spoils of yesterday's ambush. I don't know its name, I just call it 'clown mask'. After my identification and experiments, after wearing it, it can change its appearance into another A person... um~IndoMTL.com~ is just an appearance...but once a changed appearance is specified, it cannot be easily changed, at least one or two months before it can be changed. Currently it specifies the appearance of a Beautiful lady, you can wait for a while and re-weave your face before using it. In addition, after wearing it, your strength, speed, balance and other aspects will be greatly improved." Bishop Utravsky Point to the item in your hand.

Is this a clown mask? At present it is a mask of a masquerade in disguise! And you also experimented... I don't know what a 2.2 meter burly muscular giant with a small beautiful face is like...

The image of Nezha in a comedy animation flashed involuntarily in his mind, and Abner hurriedly shook his head to interrupt the terrible association, took a deep breath and asked:

"So, what are its limitations and hidden dangers?"

Father Utravsky glanced at the mask with strange patterns, and introduced in detail:

"It may have the property of being 'alive'... since it will expect you to perform after wearing the mask, you'd better develop a personality and create a corresponding performance for the character you pretend to be before wearing it Otherwise, once it is dissatisfied, it will actively manipulate your body to perform the performance it wants!"

"In addition to these, it also has a problem. Once you wear it for more than two hours, you may be replaced by the character you made, and your spirit may be split."

Upon hearing this negative effect, Abner breathed a sigh of relief. The 'alive' feature may be troublesome to others, but it is easy to deal with people with golden fingers.

Even if his "pure white eyes" can't suppress this mask, but this kind of thing that is known to be a "Seer" sequence, isn't it honest to put it on the gray fog? It just happens to add a sense of mystery to Mister Fool in front of everyone in the Tarot Society.
