Chapter 107 Prelude to the War

After hearing Abner's question, Bernadette thought for a moment and answered:

"In the ruins of a small island... you can ask Gehrman Sparrow about the specific situation. I have mentioned this matter to him before and extended an invitation."

In other words, you don't want to invite me?

There is something wrong with this... Logically speaking, after knowing that I am related to the "Disaster Seal", shouldn't she try to get more information about the "Great Emperor" from me? After all, as Lao Huang's daughter, she would not be unaware of the original relationship between Lao Huang and "me".

Unless...Old Huang specifically told her...

Thinking of this, a picture emerged in Abner's mind out of thin air - Russell rubbed Bernadette's hair and said sincerely: If you really become a big shot in the mysterious world in the future, you must remember, be careful and People related to the "Disaster Seal" should stay away from them as much as possible.

Shaking his head and discarding his unreasonable thoughts, Abner stopped asking questions and just put away the card with the sealed characteristics properly.

On the other side, Audrey did not refuse the compensation from the "Queen of Mysteries". Although she was still only a "psychologist" at Sequence 7, there was nothing wrong with getting the "Dream Walker" characteristics in advance.

After apologizing, Bernadette turned her attention to "Grossell's Travels" on the altar, and said thoughtfully: "You said before that the tower is composed of 'dream labyrinths'... and One of his clones was originally hidden there...

"So, is there any way I can go to the first floor you mentioned and take a look?

"If so, what will it cost me?"

Take a look? Seeing the phantom of the "Sea of ​​Chaos" is not enough, do you also want to see the remaining pollution of the "Mother Goddess"?

Abner complained in his heart, but on the surface he replied after thinking for a while: "It is impossible to enter the first level directly... but I can help you apply for a 'permission' to start from the ninth level and go up.

"But it's difficult. You might not be able to get to the fourth level for a few years."

Of course, unless I completely master the "Dream Labyrinth Tower", the fourth floor will be cut off from the previous ones.

Abner did not say the last sentence.

"I want to give it a try...at what cost?" Bernadette repeated.

Abner shook his head and said: "It's just a permission, you don't need to pay anything...and you are likely to be trapped on the 9873rd floor for a long time..."

As he spoke, he briefly described some basic situations of these three floors.

At this time, Audrey, who had been listening in, couldn't help but feel anxious after knowing that there was no danger in the first three floors. She tentatively asked: "Mr. Professor, can you also give me permission?"

"Okay." Abner glanced at her and nodded.

Hearing this, Audrey's eyes sparkled. She lifted up her skirt and saluted: "Thank you for your generosity."

At the same time, she also gave up her plan to remind Xio and Forsi. It would be of no use anyway.

Bernadette also bowed and expressed her gratitude to Abner.

Afterwards, after Abner gave them some of the authority of his original "Dream Gate", he sent the two distinguished ladies back to their respective "homes".

Audrey didn't mention it, but Bernadette did not stay on the "Future", but returned directly to Backlund, and then eagerly opened the "Dream Door" and entered the ninth floor of the "Dream Maze Tower" Scenes.

One night passed, and Bernadette returned to her room tiredly. After taking a bath, she barely regained her energy. She rubbed her forehead and whispered to herself:

"How could that kid named Conan be so powerful? Who is his prototype? There is no one around him who is so good at reasoning..."

The "Mysterious Queen", who has an upright character and never cheats when playing games, got into trouble on the ninth floor.

…

26 Kingston Street, Chorwood District.

In the bedroom, while eating a novel ice cream cake, Elizabeth told Melissa about her adventure in the town of "Kabas" last week.

Finally, she said somewhat mysteriously: "Melissa, I suspect that your brother is probably a 'divineer' and an official extraordinary person of the Goddess Church."

Melissa was not surprised by this. She had already heard the name "Nighthawks" from Teacher Hazel, and suspected that Klein was a member of the "Nighthawks" and his death should also be with him. Relevant to extraordinary events.

But she still doesn’t know what happened in Tingen City in early September last year.

However, after realizing how dangerous the world of extraordinary people was from Teacher Hazel, she didn't want her friends to get involved, so she kept a straight face, severely criticized her recklessness, and warned her to stay away from such things in the future. .

Elizabeth, who has experienced the Selena divination incident and the Kabasi Nightmare Town incident, actually knows the dangers better than Melissa, but she still yearns for the "extraordinary", but she knows that this is Melissa's good intention , so I didn’t refute, I just smiled and agreed, but I decided to visit the associate professor or Senior Wallace of the college after I went back.

After that, the two friends who had been playing together since childhood stopped talking about business and focused on having fun, celebrating Melissa's birthday.

The next day, when Elizabeth yawned and got on the steam train, preparing to return to East Chester County, she happened to encounter an extraordinary event.

Relying on the amulet given to her by Klein, she successfully withstood the mental interference of a 'scammer' and waited until the 'Nighthawk' rescued her.

Because of this incident, she was forced to join the "Nighthawks" team and became the assistant of a woman named "Cherry".

The ripples of the "River of Destiny" have since drawn her into a tributary leading to the extraordinary.

…

Bayam, in an ordinary house not far from the Governor's Palace.

In the spacious basement, candles burned quietly, spreading dim light around.

"Silver Coin Viper" O'Dell had taken off the hooded robe, looked at the middle-aged man opposite with a slight trembling, and said in an unsteady voice:

"Lord Senor, according to our clues, Hermoshuin is probably hiding in the woods west of Bayam City."

Senior was wearing an old three-cornered hat, with sunken eye sockets and a frighteningly pale face, more like an evil spirit than a human being. He raised his hand to wipe the two black beards on his lower lip, and his light brown eyes were cold. The ground swept across Odell's face, causing the famous adventurer to lower his head.

After staring at the other person silently for a few seconds, the "Blood Admiral" wearing a pair of white trousers and a red jacket spoke in a low voice:

"I hope your intelligence is accurate this time, instead of leading our people into the encirclement of the Church of Storms like the previous times."

"This time it must be true!" "Silver Coin Viper" O'Dell promised hurriedly, for fear of being punished for the previous losses.

He knew very well how cruel this pirate general was to his subordinates who had done wrong things!

Senior naturally knew what this subordinate was thinking. He glanced at Odell and sneered:

“If you and your mistress hadn’t given me so much pleasure, I would have let you pull your intestines out!

"But you're very lucky, those adults didn't get angry because of it."

When Odell heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief silently. He looked fearfully at the "Blood Admiral" and the bloody altar on the table behind him, and replied respectfully:

"Yes, Lord Senior!"

He had thought just now that he would be part of the sacrifice.

After Odell exited the basement, "Blood Admiral" Senior turned to look at the altar covered with human heads, internal organs, limbs and blood, and said with a more respectful attitude than when Odell faced him:

"Sir, I think Odell's information this time is accurate...so I plan to personally bring Hermoshuin back and sacrifice him to the 'Mother Tree'."

"I have a feeling that the capture this time will not go smoothly, and there will even be some obstacles... but Hermosuin is indeed there... and if we miss this time, we will never be able to catch him again." A cold and uncontained voice Emotional sounds came from the curtain hanging around the altar.

"What should we do? Please give me some instructions from the adults." Senor lowered his head and asked for instructions.

"This time we will go with you. No matter what obstacles there are, no matter what the cost, we must complete the mission of the mother tree." Another hoarse voice said.

"I will have the 'Sad Death' pick up in the nearby waters and provide support." A slightly weak voice appeared directly in the hearts of several people.

"Lord Si'a is also paying attention to this matter. Although He is at a critical moment, he will help us if necessary..." A seductive female voice also sounded later.

When he heard the word Si'a, "Blood Admiral" Senior's forehead twitched obviously. It seemed that the adult's name alone could make people fear him.

He took a slow breath and said:

"Yes, Master Hardy, Master Plan, Master North, Master Edith!"

After answering, Senior instinctively touched the necklace hanging on his chest.

The necklace seemed to be made of sterling silver, and the pendant was an ancient-looking coin.

…

At the same time, Abner's figure appeared directly in the captain's cabin of the "Golden Dream".
