Chapter 244: Open and Honest

Seeing that the members of the Tarot Club were all looking at him because of what "The World" said, Abner glanced at the "Fool" in charge, and then briefly told what happened in Trier.

Of course, the parts related to the "River of Eternal Darkness" and his own abilities were skipped, and only Bernadette's contribution was emphasized, as well as the backhand left behind by Russell that he discovered in the Delien family's secret room— —The Arc de Triomphe.

"I didn't expect that the 'Arc de Triomphe' was actually a means reserved by Emperor Russell to deal with the 'Abyss'! I thought it was just a simple 'spectacle'..." After listening to Abner's story, "Justice" Audrey looked amazed, then asked curiously, "Mr. Tower, who was the demon summoned by the Prime Minister of Intis after he sacrificed himself? Why did the 'Abyss' come?"

After saying that, she suddenly realized that this was not cheap knowledge that could be shared casually, and quickly added apologetically: "I can pay a corresponding price for this knowledge."

"No need..." Abner smiled meaningfully. Although he didn't say anything more, Audrey miraculously "read" a sentence from his surface mind: "Just think of it as a birthday gift to you. .”

Ah, Mr. "Tower" really remembered my birthday... and in order not to reveal my identity, he also used some kind of magical "message" transmission method... "Justice" Audrey immediately understood and felt like this The "birthday gift" is great!

"What Charlie Delion summoned was actually not a demon, but a 'god'.

"He is the ancestor of the 'Demon Family' Noth, and is also the child and container of the ancient god 'Demon King' and the 'Dark Side of the Universe' Fabuti.

“And the reason why ‘Abyss’ enters reality is because Farbuti descended on the container!

"By the way, Sequence 0 of the Devil's Path is called 'Abyss'."

Abner obviously said this last sentence to "Star" Leonard, because other members had exchanged this knowledge with "Sun" Derrick.

Fabuti...the ancient god...the demon lord...the abyss...the dark side of the universe...he actually still exists?

"Hermit", "Sun" and others who had heard the name Fabuti were all speechless, and they also fully understood what terrible enemies Mr. "Tower" and "Mysterious Queen" encountered at that time!

Even if he comes in the form of a container, he is still the true god of sequence 0!

The process of defeating the "Abyss" is definitely not as simple as Mr. "Tower" said...

"Judgment" Xio finally understood why Abner was consumed to the point of spiritual exhaustion that day... In other words, it was even more amazing that he was not hurt at all when he encountered such an enemy.

Abner, when you mentioned the name "Bernadette", was your tone too casual? You used to call her "Queen of Mystery", right? Miss "Judgement"'s thoughts gradually deviated from the direction.

On the other side, although Ms. "Hermit" also wrote to "Queen of Mystery" asking about the Trier Abyss incident, the reply she received was actually simpler than what Mr. "Tower" described. She didn't pay much attention to it, but now Come to think of it, the Queen was probably only a Sequence 3 "Master of Prophecy" at that time. Why did she join a battle of this level? Could it be that some means were used that cost a lot of money?

Thinking of this, Cattleya couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Tower, the queen... did she use unconventional means?"

Asked, Abner thought for a while and felt that since Vera already knew that the "Djinn God" was in Bernadette's hands, there was no need to hide it for her... In other words, if it weren't for the fact that he was not sure about going to the Mist Sea yet After rescuing Lao Huang on a small island, he can now use the information about Lao Huang's location to exchange the "wishing lamp" with Bernadette.

Of course, Vera is not in a hurry. Her primary goal is to "seek to usurp the throne" and "consecrate Huoshan Mountain". She still has plenty of time, so she can wait and see.

As his thoughts swirled, Abner nodded and said, "Bernadai made a wish to the sealed object '0-05', which is the 'wishing lamp', and became the 'Emperor of Knowledge' for one day."

"Wishing Magic Lamp"? !

This item is no stranger to the old members of the Tarot Society. After all, Mr. "World" once asked for information about it, and Miss "Judgement" also offered a reward for its whereabouts...

Unexpectedly, it was in the hands of the "Mysterious Queen"! That's right, according to what Mr. "Tower" said at that time, the previous owner of Sealed Artifact "0-05" was Emperor Russell, and it makes sense that it would now fall into the hands of his eldest daughter.

"The Hanged Man" Alger nodded thoughtfully, and then heard "The Hermit" Cattleya ask: "What are the side effects of that item?"

Abner knew what she was worried about and didn't show any concern. He replied with a smile: "Although every owner of that lamp will die a happy death, the first two wishes made to it are relatively safe. You can find ways to avoid most risks with language and preparation..."

Speaking of this, Abner paused, because he suddenly thought: The reason why Bernadette recklessly peeked into the "pale death" and peeked into the secrets of "Liu Bo" just after being promoted to "Sage", Could it be caused by the side effects of the "Wishing Magic Lamp"?

Can it make people who have used it become wiser or become very "reckless" and take a gamble when something happens?

Seeing Mr. "Ta" stop mid-sentence, "Hermit" Cattleya suddenly had some bad premonitions. She pursed her lips and asked tentatively: "Mr. 'Ta', did you find out about the Queen?" Is there anything wrong with you?"

After hearing her question, Abner came back to his senses, shook his head with a smile and said, "No... I just suddenly remembered another thing, which has nothing to do with the 'Wishing Magic Lamp'."

It shouldn't be inappropriate for Bernadette to peek into the "unknown" and be contaminated by "Liu Bo"... right?

Well, at least Vera canceled the decision of "hard robbery" and changed it to "exchange"... From this point of view, it is actually a good thing.

On the other side of the long table, "Hermit" Cattleya saw that Mr. "Tower" was unwilling to say more, so she had to suppress her worries and planned to write a letter to confirm the Queen's status after returning. If necessary, it would be best to go to Baekeland. De meets her...

Then, "The Hanged Man" and "The Star" asked for other details, and Abner answered them one by one. The topic did not end until no one had any more questions.

After a few seconds, "The Hanged Man" Alger turned his head and glanced at Abner, and then said to Mr. "The Fool" at the top:

"I request to communicate with Mr. Tower alone."

"The Fool" Klein blocked the other people's senses after consulting the "Tower".

"Mr. Tower, I have already redeemed the reward for some of the pirates on the Black Death that you entrusted me to redeem...a total of fifteen thousand gold pounds."

Only 15,000? It seems that the organization that collects rewards on behalf of others has deducted a lot of money! I estimate it will be at least 20,000 pounds... Abner did some mental arithmetic and knew there was something fishy about it, but there was nothing he could do about it. After all, it was impossible to exchange so many bounties at once without spending some money.

Fortunately, I am not short of this small amount of money... Abner muttered under his breath, then asked: "Have you joined Tracy's fleet?"

"The Fool" Klein, who had been listening to their conversation, twitched his lips slightly and thought to himself: Do you think numbers like fifteen thousand or twenty thousand are small money? Old Liu, you are so distracted! After I made a fortune in the "Land of Darkness" this time, apart from the 50,000 pounds "sale fee" for asking Miss "Messenger" to help me, even if all the features were sold at a good price, I would only be able to make a maximum of 80,000 pounds. in hand.

Twenty thousand pounds is a quarter of this figure!

"The Hanged Man" Alger nodded when he heard Abner's question: "I am now the captain of the squadron under Vice Admiral Disease... I have also reported to the Church of Storms, Archbishops Tell me to get as close as possible to Tracy and find out the true identities of Gehrman Sparrow and the 'Professor'."

"You don't need to tell me this...but you can go talk to The World about the price of the relevant information. If the price is right, he might just sell it himself." Abner joked with a smile, then turned back. The previous topic was mentioned, "Just give Tracy the bounty from her original crew directly to her, and treat it as the activity funds I gave her."

After no longer robbing merchant ships and only intercepting "human trafficking" ships, the crew of the "Black Death" was indeed much poorer.

And Abner is also a "conscience" boss, so naturally he will not let them work without paying them.

"Okay." "The Hanged Man" Alger nodded, but he became more and more afraid of the "Tower" in his heart.

He knew very well who "Lieutenant General Disease" Tracy was in the past...but now, the other party was carrying out the orders of "Tower" without compromise!

After observation, Alger knew that Tracy was usually normal no matter what she said or did. Only when she mentioned Mr. "Tower" did she show a fanatical look.

Such methods were very terrifying in the eyes of Alger, the Hanged Man. If it weren't for Mr. Fool, he would never have any form of contact with the other party again.

After this incident, "Sun" Derrick mentioned to Abner again the progress of the exploration of the former chief's tomb, but since there was still no major progress, he only brought it up in a few words.

Of course, the more important thing is that Abner has actually already preliminarily determined the goddess's grasp of the "Death" path in the "Land of Night", and there is no need to explore it through other channels.

The reason why he didn't take back the mission to "The Sun" was because he didn't want to dampen his enthusiasm.

——This child has always felt that he owed Abner and wanted to do something in return.

After that, everyone communicated for a while, and the Tarot gathering officially ended. The members returned to the real world, and only Abner and Klein were left above the gray fog.

"World" Klein was silent for a few seconds, and then, deciding to be honest, he looked at the "Tower" and asked directly: "Do you have certain 'authority' over the space above the gray fog?

"Is it because of Alvin Abraham?"
