Chapter 172 Before the Dance

Him? "The Hermit" Cattleya, "The Hanged Man" Alger and others were stunned for a while, and suddenly felt that they didn't recognize the "Tower".

Can a "tower" that is just a demigod talk to "him" on an equal footing?

Abner saw everyone's surprise, so after thinking about it for a while, he explained: "My reply represents the existence behind me... just like the elder Lovia."

My "wisdom eye" clone is actually speaking on behalf of the main body, and there's nothing wrong with that.

So that's it... Alger and Cattleya looked surprised, but they also became more curious about Mr. "Tower"'s background.

Especially Alger, he had made several guesses, but none of them seemed accurate.

"I understand." Although "Sun" Derrick seemed to understand, he still chose to believe Mr. "Tower" and prepared to tell the story.

But at this time, "The Hanged Man" Alger warned: "When you are delivering the message, try to remain hidden. Don't let your chief discover that you have had private contact with Elder Lovia."

"Sun" Derrick was stunned for a moment, but quickly nodded to show that he understood.

After being taught by the three gentlemen "The Hanged Man", "The World" and "Tower", he already knew that although the "Chief" had a certain amount of trust in him, he never gave up on letting the "Shepherd" elder act as a check and balance against him. Once he discovers that he has a personal connection with Lovia, the "trust" he has finally established may no longer exist.

But Abner shook his head and said, "I think you'd better confess this to your chief and tell him that promise has nothing to do with Silver City."

Of course it would be best if he could hide something, but based on Abner's understanding of the chief of Silver City, Derrick probably wouldn't be able to hide anything... So rather than being suspected by the other party, it was better to be honest.

"This..." Derrick looked at the "Tower" and then at the "Hanged Man". He didn't know who to listen to, and finally he couldn't help but look at the "World".

This move made Mr. "Moon" a little unhappy, and thought to himself: Have you never thought of asking me for my opinion?

"World" Klein felt that both approaches were reasonable, but he obviously believed in Abner more, so he asked hoarsely: "Are you confident that you can completely avoid your chief?"

Derrick recalled the reliable figure of the chief, lowered his head and said: "No..."

"Then you'd better listen to Mr. Tower." Klein said with a smile.

"The Hanged Man" Alger also exhaled at this time. He realized where his negligence was, so he followed suit: "I didn't think carefully. Just do what Mr. Tower said."

"Yes." Derrick lowered his head, always feeling that Mr. "The Hanged Man" made a "wrong" judgment because of his own incompetence.

After this topic was over, "Justice" Audrey looked around, raised her hand and asked: "Does anyone know about the 'Bloody Butcher' case in Tingen City more than ten years ago?"

Because she was blocked on the seventh floor by this case, even though she knew that the possibility of encountering her again was almost non-existent, Audrey still wanted to figure out the ins and outs of this case and see where she fell short.

When asked, "The Hanged Man", "Judgment", "Magician" and others all frowned, not understanding why Miss Justice asked this.

Klein guessed that Miss Justice might have encountered this scene in the "Dream Maze Tower", and couldn't help but think:

The "Bloody Butcher" case? Isn't that the case that Mrs. Orianna, the treasurer of Blackthorn Company, once experienced? I remember this was a "satanic ritual" incident, and if the Nighthawks hadn't intervened, Mrs. Oriana would have been the sixth victim.

But this case happened sixteen years ago, no, seventeen years ago. The mastermind has been caught long ago, so there should be no problem in talking about it.

Thinking of this, Klein once again controlled "The World" and said in a hoarse voice: "I know something about this case..."

Then, he briefly introduced the files he had read when he was at Blackthorn Security Company.

But who would have thought that "Justice" Audrey shook her head and said: "No, no... I cooperated with the Nighthawks in that scene to catch the murderer you mentioned, but the mission still failed... It means that there is someone else behind the scenes. people."

What? At this time, even Abner was aroused. He thought for a while and said: "Since the sixth target has not had any trouble for more than ten years, it means that the ritual has already been successful, and there is no need for a sixth person... The mastermind behind the scenes is killing By the fifth person, the goal has been achieved.”

The sixth person who survived was Mrs. Oriana from the Blackthorn Security Company, but Klein did not directly name her, and Abner could only use a pronoun.

"Five people were killed, and five internal organs were taken away... What type of 'demon ritual' is this?" "The World" Klein frowned.

"Maybe it's not a demonic ritual at all..." Abner said.

And the number "five", for some reason, Mo Ming reminded him of the "five" survivors of the ceremony eleven years ago.

Klein also had a similar association, but he also didn't say it out loud. He just wanted to check it out when he had time.

In this way, the exchange continued, and this tarot gathering came to an end little by little.

I will not mention the "small meeting" between Klein and Abner after the Tarot meeting. I will only say that Derrick "The Sun" carefully memorized the "Notary Public" lecture by Mr. "The Hanged Man" after returning to Silver City. "The advantages and disadvantages, and then went to the Twin Towers in the north of the city again, preparing to select magical items, and by the way, he delivered the message from Mr. "Tower" to Elder Lovia.

He hadn't picked out extraordinary weapons before because he had just been promoted and his condition was not stable. He was worried that contact with magical items would cause him to lose control.

In the round tower, Derrick Berg, who had gone through the process, put forward his needs, saw the selected items, and obtained the corresponding information files.

After careful reading and observation, he quickly identified an item called "Thor's Roar".

This thing came from a certain ruined city-state. It is quite heavy. It looks like a giant hammer. Its surface is deep blue and wrapped with silvery white lightning. The handle looks like a living creature's leg bone. It can emit a powerful sound in battle that scares and confuses the enemy. The sound is like the God of Thunder descending to the ground, roaring non-stop. Each of its strikes is highly destructive, and the terrifying lightning never fails.

As for the negative effects, they are not very serious for Derrick, who has a good temper and can "shine" on his own.

After selecting the extraordinary weapons, Derrick pursed his lips, then walked to the chief room on the top floor of the round tower and knocked on the door.

After a while, "Shepherd" Elder Lovia was also called here.

After Derrick finished relaying Mr. "Tower"'s words, a very mechanical female voice suddenly sounded in Lovia's ears: "I know..."

Lovia was not surprised, because this voice had been following her ever since she obtained the "Shepherd" potion formula in a destroyed city-state.

…

Pasu Island, the headquarters of the Church of Storms.

After undergoing the examination, Alger was asked again by a deacon if he knew any of the female pirate generals.

With his previous experience in mind, Alger asked tentatively this time: "Did Gehrman Sparrow cause any trouble again?"

The deacon said with some gloating:

"The mission originally assigned to you has been completed by Gehrman!

"He found a total of four or five demigods, including the mysterious 'professor'!

"Furthermore, according to the information we received, an angel from the Einhorn family came to the port at that time, but he was also stopped."

The more Alger heard, the bigger his mouth opened. He never expected that there would be such a big battle just to grab a sea monster that was less than a demigod.

"In addition, the 'Trident' was snatched away by three demigods from the Witch Sect. Based on the relationship between Hermann and 'Vice Admiral Disease', it is very likely that they were also found by that crazy adventurer!" The deacon And added.

Calculating this, wouldn't seven or eight demigods and at least one angel be dispatched for this operation? No wonder "the world" demands more money!

Alger didn't hide his surprise at all, and at the same time he was a little scared.

The Ephesac people's arrangement, if "the world" hadn't had their hand in it, he would definitely be dead.

…

Five o'clock in the afternoon, Queen Backlund, the luxurious villa of the Hall family.

Abner got off the carriage and walked into the main hall door with Xio and Forsi, who were all dressed up.

Soon, an aristocratic young man with a handsome face and brilliant blond hair came up with his valet.
