Start with the Readers Chapter 95: The Prince and the Witch

After Abner came out of the coffee shop, he first went to the police station in the Jowood area, and secretly informed Sergeant Fashing that Dr. Leonardo was involved in an extraordinary incident and had been handed over to professionals. .

The sheriff frowned after hearing this, showing a worried expression. He was not worried about the doctor's safety, but his wife and unborn child.

Fortunately, Abner's visit this time brought him a solution.

After hearing that a pharmacist might be able to help him, Sergeant Farthing was overjoyed and thanked him.

Abner hesitated for a while, and then warned again: "It's just...that pharmacist's words are a bit unpleasant...you have to bear with it a little more." Don't get caught in a fit of anger.

"Doesn't sound good?" Sergeant Farthing asked strangely.

"You should know how Aitris talks to people, right? This pharmacist's words are twice as loud as Aitris's!" Abner commented with some embarrassment.

Sergeant Farthing also opened his mouth in shock after hearing this. How could he not know the virtues of his son? That's something that can drive me to death with every sentence... Now this pharmacist sounds even more extreme than my son... Is it dangerous for Martha to go there to see a doctor?

However, the sheriff had no choice at this time. After thanking Abner again for his reminder, he also gave him a handwritten pass in return. With a pass, you can read some of the low-level confidential files of the Jowood District Police Station, and you can also use the police station's underground shooting range for free.

Abner was a little happy about this, and after bidding farewell to the sheriff, he went directly to the archives of the police station to check the information.

Judging from various files, compared to the Bridge District, the law and order in the Jowood District is much better, and they are all routine cases.

After watching it all morning, Abner found that there was only one thing that deserved his attention:

Grant's clothing store was bought by a company in the factory district and is undergoing a remodel. Many workers were digging the foundation in the store, making a lot of noise, disturbing the peace of the neighbors, so the police were called.

This seems to be a very normal incident, but Abner faintly feels that something is wrong.

It’s not that he has never been to Jian’s clothing store. It is already a three-story building. Even if it is rebuilt, there is no need to dig deep into the foundation, unless it is to build a building...but it is surrounded by one or two floors. Building a high-rise in the case of a residential building...it is very difficult to be approved.

After all, it was difficult for Backlund to see the sun, and even if the residential area was covered by tall buildings, wouldn't it be possible for the neighboring residences to protest? Most of the people who can live in the Jowood area are middle-class, and the energy of unity is not small.

"I'm afraid they are using construction as a cover to find something underground at Jane's house, right? This may be one of the reasons why the Grant family is valued by so many big shots..." While guessing in his heart, Abner calculated He wondered if he should go to investigate after the party at night, but after a thought, he thought of another possibility:

"The demigod energy was aroused in Grant's clothing store last month, and Jane's whereabouts are unknown. It stands to reason that she should still be under the supervision of the Church of Storms at this moment, right? So, this group of diggers are not The one sent by the Church of Storms is the Punisher who waits for the result to come out and collect the net..."

Thinking of this, Abner turned his attention to the name of the company in the factory area that bought Grant's clothing store: Vinson Labor and Service Company.

Checking Grant's clothing store secretly may fall into the sight of the Church of the Storm, but it shouldn't be a big problem to check this company secretly. Quite a few, most of them have a gang background, and it is difficult to be completely monitored... Moreover, whether it is a partner or a competitor, they may secretly investigate its background, and their behavior is not abrupt.

After deliberating in his mind, Abner felt that as long as he acted cautiously, there should be no danger, so he secretly decided to ask Xio to help him collect information about this company when he met tomorrow. She has contacts in the East District, the dock area, and the factory area, so it shouldn't be a big problem to get some superficial information.

"I hope that this investigation will allow me to find out some rules for playing the role of 'Keeper of the Wisdom'... I also hope that Jane does not have any coveted secrets..."

……

"No!" Lina screamed, waking up from her nightmare.

She was a little dazed at first, but then she recalled that after realizing that she had been drugged, she flirted with the disgusting Lieutenant Bernard while looking for opportunities to escape.

In the end, she jumped out of the window while the other party was getting carried away, and bumped into a carriage on the way...and she recognized the coat of arms on the carriage.

A straight-down sword with a red crown on the hilt.

"The 'Sword of Judgment' of the Augustus family. I was actually saved by a member of the royal family?" Lina guessed as she recalled the last scene she saw before she fell into a coma.

She got out of bed, looked around, and suddenly found that the room was somewhat familiar, so she hurried to the French windows and looked out.

What catches the eye is a large lawn and exquisite statues standing around the lawn. A little farther away, a river bypasses hills full of various vegetation and flows into a large artificial lake.

The breeze blew by, and the water surface was rippling, bringing up ripples, which also brought up waves of Lina's memory.

"Red Rose Manor..." she muttered to herself.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside, Lina came back to her senses, and habitually said, "Please come in." Then she saw a familiar figure walking in with the butler and guards .

"Edesak?" Lina looked at this young and energetic face and subconsciously asked.

Prince Edsac raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and then nodded with a smile: "Ma'am, you really know me."

Lina looked at the prince with a confused expression, not knowing how to speak.

Seeing the strange expression on the other party's face, Prince Edsac was puzzled, but after hesitating for a while, he asked, "Ma'am, may I ask, are you the illegitimate daughter of Earl Lorena?"

After speaking, seeing the other party's eyes widen in surprise, he quickly explained: "Ma'am, don't get me wrong, I didn't go into the meaning of your identity. It's just that you look very similar to my former friend Leland, Even more like him than Leland's two younger sisters."

"Leland disappeared inexplicably three years ago. I sent many people to search for him but failed to find him... and Earl Lorena's attitude towards his disappearance is very strange. Existence is the same... So when I saw you before, I thought you might have clues about this matter, and maybe I could use this to find out the whereabouts of my friend."

The prince spoke plainly, but the worry revealed in his tone was genuine, and Lina trembled a little when she heard it. Hesitation, fear, struggle, resentment, and many other emotions appeared on her face, and finally she sighed, and she seemed to feel a lot more relaxed.

She gathered herself together, looked at the prince who had been waiting, and said in a somewhat complicated way: "Edesak...I didn't expect that you would still think of me when my father and brother had already given up on me." , worry about me...hehe, of course you think my appearance is similar to Leland...because I am Leland Lorena!"

Prince Edsac saw Lina's face changing, and thought that this girl would tell him some private secrets about Earl Lorena, but who would have heard such more explosive news.

He stared at Lina dumbfounded, and said after a long while: "This is impossible... a doctor and a maid have checked you before, you are a real girl!"

Lina smiled desolately, lowered her head and said: "Because I drank the 'Assassin' potion under the arrangement of my father, and this potion sequence is the path of the 'Witch'!" In order to win the trust of each other, she told some past events that only she and the prince knew.

"Witch... what do you mean?" Prince Edsac was even more surprised and said in disbelief.

"Just as you think, the Sequence 7 of this sequence is called 'Witch', which will make people really become women." Lina turned her head, not wanting to see the contempt and disgust in her friend's eyes.

However, Prince Edsac didn't have any bad opinion of Lina because of this. He frowned and asked puzzledly, "Why did Earl Lorena make you a 'witch'?"

"I don't know the specifics...but you should be able to guess that my father is the earl of the court, and he is absolutely loyal to the royal family. And the 'witches' are almost all under the control of the 'witch sect'... I should just be them It's just a way for the two parties to test each other before contacting each other. Of course, it may also involve some bargaining chips." Lina walked to the window and replied looking at the picturesque scenery outside.

"So that's how it is..." Prince Edesak's pupils shrank when he heard this, and he turned around the room a few times with a serious face, and then his brows gradually relaxed, as if he wanted to understand something.

However, the prince did not continue this sensitive and dangerous topic, and instead asked, "Female... no, Leland, what happened to you today, why did you get drugged?"

This question made Delina a little embarrassed and ashamed, and she said angrily: "What else could be going on? My boss in the Witch Sect is a newly promoted 'Witch of Pain~IndoMTL.com~ Lieutenant Bernard who wants to send me to MI9... Although I can accept being a woman, I have no intention of doing that kind of thing with a man!"

"SI9... It seems that some people from the military are also involved." Prince Edsack just said with emotion, and suddenly thought of something, his expression changed, and he said anxiously: "That lieutenant should have seen you Get into my carriage, and you are a 'witch'... Leland, you are not safe with me, I am afraid that it won't be long before the extraterrestrials from the military will come to your door!"

Lina also reacted at this time. As a former nobleman, she naturally knew that although the prince had a noble status, he did not have much autonomy in many things. Therefore, her expression became resolute, and she said, "I'm leaving now!"

Prince Edsac thought for a while, and asked the maid to bring some unremarkable clothes to Lina, and said: "I will let someone arrange for you to leave through the secret passage of the manor. Right now Someone outside is probably watching."

"Thank you...Edesaker." Lina was very moved when she heard it. She really didn't expect her former friend to treat her like this after knowing the truth.

"You're welcome, Leland. We're good friends!" Prince Edsack was a little bit embarrassed when he said this. He used to be a close buddy, but what is he now? Is it her boyfriend?

After simply changing her clothes, Lina was about to leave under the leadership of her servants, but at this moment, she suddenly turned her head and said seriously to Prince Edesak:

"Edesak, before leaving, I will give you two pieces of advice."

"First, all witches have **** hands. No matter how pure and lovely the appearance is, the heart has long been polluted."

"Second, the witches of the Witch Sect...with a few exceptions, they were all men before becoming 'witches'!"
