Chapter 407 "Referring to a Deer as a Horse"
, Mystery: Servant Begins
Bernadette was wearing a simple lady's white shirt, sitting quietly in the living room, with her long chestnut hair hanging down naturally, and her straight eyebrows spread just right. She had the temperament of a professional woman on earth, and she was the kind who had been in a high position for a long time.
This style of dressing seems to be popular in the modern "Ghost Story" world in "Ghost Empire"... Abner, who gradually appeared in the room, looked at Bernadette for a few times, and then casually pulled away a Get a chair and sit down.
——He has been here several times in the past two months, and he is already familiar with Bernadette, so he doesn't feel too restrained.
Bernadette's blue eyes, which were like the condensed sea, glanced at him and did not pursue his "discourteous" behavior of coming in without knocking on the door. After all, she also had this habit and had no position to accuse others.
After asking the invisible servant to make a cup of black tea and put it on the table in front of Abner, she said in a soft and calm voice:
"I received Cattleya's letter. What are your plans for suggesting that she join the high-level ranks of the Moss Ascetic Order?"
Wasn't your previous sequence "Master of Prophecy"? Didn't you get some inspiration? Abner subconsciously replied in his heart, and on the surface he responded with a smile:
"Yarolan of the "Mos Ascetic Order" is an angel under Mr. "The Fool" and can be completely trusted. And he came to power by killing a "Sage", and the other "Pillars" did not raise the issue out of fear. If you disagree, you will not truly take refuge in him.
"At this time, he naturally needs to train his own people... This is Cattleya's opportunity."
Bernadette glanced at him and spoke neither fast nor slow: "But once the Hidden Sage succeeds in ascending to the throne of God, she will be even more dangerous... That Mr. Fool will really fight with a man for her." Is the true God an enemy?"
"Yes!" Abner nodded without hesitation.
Even if there is even a slight chance, Klein will do his best to protect the members of the Tarot Club.
What's more, I will protect her... although I feel that the "Hidden Sage" has probably fallen into the goddess's plan and has no hope of becoming a god.
Seeing that Abner was so "devout" in her belief in "The Fool", Bernadette frowned slightly, then calmed down, nodded and said: "In that case, I agree with her entering the inner circle of the Moss Ascetic Order and becoming a One of the “Ten Pillars.”
At this point, she paused, looked at Abner again, made eye contact with him, and continued, "And after Cattleya got the secret stories you gave her, the potion was digested very quickly. It won't be long before you can be promoted to "Master of Prophecy", so you really should seize the opportunity of a Sequence 2 characteristic early."
Are you looking at *** like this? Because I didn’t tell you those stories, but Cattleya would definitely make a copy for you, so there’s no need for me to do anything extra...
Abner was about to explain when he heard the "Queen of Mystery" ask:
"Are those stories from the "Middle Kingdom", from the "hometown" in his diary?"
It turns out that this is what you care about... Abner suddenly felt enlightened, but on the surface he shook his head and said: "Not entirely, most of them are stories outside the "Middle Kingdom"."
The stories given to Cattleya essentially include, but are not limited to, myths and folklore from Japan, India, Arabia, Northern Europe and other places.
As for why Abner remembers these things, it's very simple. As a university teacher before time travel, he taught these things in elective courses.
"Only a small half, right? But I have never heard of most of the other stories, but they can constitute a "mysterious reappearance", which shows that these stories correspond to real historical events..." Bernadette said He raised his eyebrows and stared at Abner.
Because the "original" awakened once before the First Era, which led to the destruction of civilization, the eradication of knowledge, and even the destruction of the spiritual world, naturally it was impossible to find those stories that originally happened in Europe and America.
But these cannot be told to Bernadette for the time being, otherwise there is a risk of "leakage". After all, the "Hidden Sage" is likely to be affected by the "Knowledge Wilderness" and suddenly comes to life. The uniqueness of the "Hermit" path, he is very familiar with this path. No one can guarantee the extent of his control.
While his thoughts were spinning, Abner, under the gaze of "Queen of Mysteries" Bernadette, considered and said:
“Things in this area are not good enough.
Let me tell you... However, I can confirm that your investigation direction has deviated from the right path. Your father's last tomb will not be in the "Middle Kingdom" and the place where those stories happened. "
Hearing this, Bernadette recalled her father's melancholy expression when he taught her those two words. After being in a daze for a while, she spoke again, "He...didn't choose to return to his hometown?"
"Because I can't go back..." Abner sighed and replied.
After hearing this, Bernadette and Abner looked at each other in silence for about ten seconds, and then brought the topic to the main topic of the other party's visit this time.
"You came to me to borrow "pale death," right... I remember you mentioned to me before that you wanted to perform a "soul" cutting operation for a special "evil spirit" and needed "pale death" "Acting as a scalpel"
Abner nodded slightly and said: "Yes, the existences that make up the evil spirit were at least archangels during their lifetimes. Undead with such "soul" strength can only be transformed into those with the Sequence 1 characteristics of the "Death" path. Extraordinary items can be "cut" open."
"But it's just a mask, and it doesn't have the ability to 'cut'." As Bernadette spoke, she raised her right hand and drew ancient words with twinkling stars one after another in the void, summoning the upper body of a person with the lower body. The spiritual world creature of the wind took back a pale mask with shining metallic luster from it, which was the "O" level sealed item "Pale Death".
Hearing her question, Abner smiled and said, "So, I need you to do a second favor."
As he spoke, he used the "White Tower"'s "simulation" and "creation" abilities to directly extract the fibers from the wooden tables and chairs in the room, "created" a booklet out of thin air, and handed it to Bernadette's hand.
Bernadette curiously took it and flipped through it, discovering that it was actually a comic book.
The main theme of the story is clearly "printed" on the cover. They are four "Russell texts":
"Referring to a deer as a horse"!
Because she had learned some definitions of "Russell" in the "Memory Theater", or the meaning of the words "Middle Kingdom", Bernadette barely recognized the clear meaning of these four words.
In addition, the storyline revealed in the comic strip is simple and easy to understand, and the "Mysterious Queen", who is already an angel, quickly incorporated it into her own "fairy tale spell".
Then, she tapped the surface of "Pale Justice" with her finger, and the next moment, a "miracle" happened. The mask actually turned into the shape of a scalpel, but its abilities and side effects did not change much.
This seems to be the combination of the "distortion" of the "Black Emperor" path and the "fooling" of the "Fool" path...
Could it be that the First Emperor in history was the "Black Emperor", and that his uniqueness or Sequence 1 characteristics after his death were obtained by Zhao Gao, and coupled with the "Fool" path items provided by the warlocks, he played the trick of "turning a deer into a horse"?
Abner touched his chin and guessed.
