Start with the Readers Chapter 92: What happened to Hugh

After leaving Darkwell's herbal shop, Abner went to the Harvest Church in the South District again, and asked Bishop Utravsky about the progress of Dr. Leonardo's incident, but only got that the doctor still Unaccounted for results.

"Don't be so anxious, child. It will take a few days for the elite 'Desolator' of the Holy Church to arrive in Backlund. Before that, it is not suitable for the Church's personnel here to be exposed too much. After all, from various sources of information Look, maybe the Loen military is also involved in this matter." Bishop Utravsky explained with a smile.

As a bishop of the Earth Mother, don't you think you've said too much for a pagan like me? Does this mean you don't treat me as an outsider?

Abner complained in his heart, but on the surface he became interested in an unfamiliar word: "Desolate?" He had never heard of this term, whether it was in the original novel or what he had seen since time travel.

"The 'Desolate One' is the loyal guardian of the Mother Goddess in the mortal world, similar to the 'Nighthawks' of the Church of Evernight and the 'Punisher' of the Church of Storms." Bishop Utravsky explained.

Abner understood immediately, and compared the "Nighthawks" who appeared the most in the original novel horizontally in his mind, guessing that the so-called elite "Desolation Ones" should be a special official team similar to "Red Gloves".

Since there was no news for the time being, Abner did not delay in the Harvest Church, and took the subway again to the rented house in the East District.

He made an appointment to meet here when he parted with Xio yesterday.

After resting in the room for about half an hour, there was a knock on the door outside. Abner bypassed the placed ritual objects, and when he opened the door, he saw Hugh with messy hair appearing in front of him.

Abner looked at her shoulder-length yellow hair, which was obviously clean but deliberately messy and rough, and joked with a smile: "Why don't you take care of it, do you have to make it like this?"

Xio glanced at him, and replied: "There's no need... I've already set my 'jurisdiction' in the East District, and it's really inconvenient to dress up too well."

The ability of a "magistrate" is always linked to one's own "jurisdictional area". The more familiar a place is, the better one can use it. And the Eastern District is obviously not suitable for a dignified noble lady to come and go.

Abner also understood this very well, so he didn't continue this topic anymore, but turned around and went to the center of the house, where he performed the ceremony prepared there to build a spiritual wall and seal off the entire room.

From the tone of Hugh's words yesterday, he could guess how troublesome the things she encountered in East Chester were, and his own experiences also involved too many secrets. Create a safe environment to have a conversation.

Xio quietly watched Abner complete the ceremony, and then said: "Actually, I settled my mother and younger brother on the second day after you left, but when I went back to Storn to buy a steam train When buying a train ticket, I happened to meet Mr. Vernal."

"Fernal?" Abner recalled, remembering who Xio was referring to, and asked, "Mr. Vernal on the 'White Agate'?"

"That's right, it was him." Xio nodded and continued, "At that time, he, his wife Katrina and their two daughters were hunted down terribly..."

"So you were involved in a terrible incident?" Abner was well aware of Yixiu's sense of justice, and would never stand idly by when a child was being hunted down, otherwise She would not have become a well-known "arbiter" for the poor in the East End before learning about the "acting method".

"Yes...it was on the outskirts of the city, and their family was hunted down by a monster covered in white mist. Their son Lott was engulfed in the mist and disappeared just because he ran a little slower...and That smoke gives me a bad feeling, as if I can't control my abilities just by looking at it." Even after a few days, Xio still felt terrified when he recalled the smoke.

She is by no means a timid girl, but this "fear" seems to come from the soul.

"White smoke..." Although Abner couldn't remember something he had confirmed in Origin Castle, he still deduced based on the existing clues: "I remember that Mr. Vernal once said that he was an archaeologist. As a scientist, he returned to East Chester this time because his students dug up an ancient ruin in the Hornaches Mountains... Was the smoke brought out by his students from the ruins?”

"You guessed right... It is precisely because Mr. Vernal's students were just ordinary people, so even if they were polluted by the smog of that high personality, the means are still very limited, so I can help them get rid of it temporarily. I was harassed by the smoke monster." Xio hesitated for a while, and finally said, "Of course, it's also thanks to the thing left on me by the giant dragon I met in my dream..."

The reason why she hesitated was not because she wanted to hide it, but because the matter had been resolved and she didn't want to tell her friends to worry.

"What exactly is it?" Abner frowned and asked. He even felt that this was more troublesome than the white mist.

"I don't know." Xio shook his head and continued, "Although I temporarily escaped with the Vernal family, I was trapped in a village by the fog. The smoke monster lacked means And I'm afraid of something in me, which can't deal with me. But I also don't have the ability to break out with a few ordinary people... So, I had to take the potion in advance, and advanced to the 'Magistrate', in order to Relying on the new extraordinary ability to sense the weak point of the smoke blockade..."

"It seems that you failed to achieve your wish." Abner said with certainty. After all, the smoke was dug out from the ruins of the Quaternary Epoch, so how could it be possible for a mere Sequence 8 to sense its weakness.

Hugh has long been familiar with Abner's "reasoning" ability, and can "know" immediately through "reasoning" even without any clues, let alone explaining so many details. So she was not surprised by the other party's "prophecy", nodded and said:

"We were finally saved by a powerful lady."

"Ma'am? An official Extraordinary?" Abner asked after thinking for a while.

"I don't know, that lady... she is just as irritable and disgusting as your Solomon gold coin." Xio frowned when she said this, as if she couldn't accept that aesthetic just in retrospect .

"It's the same as my gold coin... asymmetrical?" Abner immediately raised his evaluation of the lady who saved Hugh when he heard this. If it is really a remnant of the Solomon Empire, it is at least a powerful demigod.

"That's right! The lady herself is very beautiful, and she is... tall and slender, but she is wearing a long skirt that is divided into two pieces. The pure black ~IndoMTL.com~ boots are also like this, one has a long tip and the other is similar to the currently popular round-toed boots, as if they belong to two people..." Xio described with an awkward expression.

This is really the style of the Solomon Empire... Could it be that this lady was also dug out from the ruins by Vernal's students?

While Abner was thinking about it, Xio continued: "The lady came to me after converging all the mist into a bottle, and then she used some means to extract it from my body. A ball of light was taken from the forehead... I don't know what it is, but my intuition tells me that it is what Gu Long left on me."

"Perhaps... Gu Long wanted to use your hand to transfer something to this lady, maybe..." The Abner tool man has seen a lot and has some experience. The method can be considered to touch some rules.

"You guessed it again... The lady said that I would not let me hand over the item for nothing... So, she gave me the potion formula of Sequence 7 'Interrogator'. By the way, I have to ask Detective Stanton Help me identify it." Xio said, taking out a piece of parchment with different colors and styles from the left and right sides from his pocket, and the ancient Hermes script and dragon script were written on it alternately.

This is the late stage of obsessive-compulsive disorder... Abner thinks that it can't be fake just by looking at this style, who made it so crazy.

Muting in his heart, Abner thought for a moment, and then asked again: "Have you asked Mr. Vernal what is buried in the ruins of the ruins dug out in the Hornages Mountains? "

"Of course I asked, but Mr. Vernal doesn't know much... He only heard a name when he was chased by the white mist."

"That name is..."

"Tamara!"
