Mystery: Start with the Reader

Chapter 6 Extraordinary Gathering

In the early morning, after a hard (?) night but no gains, Abner came to the restaurant he frequented again for breakfast, but this time he failed to meet Xio, presumably the other party was still verifying the information he told yesterday.

Next, he was busy collecting auxiliary materials for the 'Reader' potion throughout the day. Among them, pure water, thread ball grass powder, and calamus juice are all relatively easy to find. Needless to say, pure water can be distilled with experimental equipment. Yes, Abner has not yet fully completed the graduation process, so he can use the public school's laboratory to complete it. Thread ball grass and calamus are not difficult to find plants, and there are many wild ones in the suburbs that can be collected. The more troublesome thing is the pure white elf flower. Although this flower is also an ordinary plant without spirituality, it only grows on some islands in the Sonia Sea... Therefore, Abner almost traveled all over Backlund before he found it. It cost him 1 soli to buy one in a herbal shop!

After dinner, after putting on the casual clothes and hooded cloak bought yesterday, Abner went out again, and took a public carriage to Iron Gate Street in the Bridge District.

After walking a few steps, he saw a bar named "The Brave", a black wooden gate that seemed to be heavy, and a strong man with his arms folded, nearly two meters tall.

"The 'Eye of Wisdom' party should be held in a certain apartment in the alley behind the Bar of the Brave, but I don't know which one it is, so I have to find the bar like Mr. Fool in the novel. The relevant person in charge of the bar will lead the way." While thinking in his heart, Abner didn't stop on his feet, and walked directly into the bar.

The strong man at the gate looked at him, but he didn't stop him from pushing the door in. He just cursed in a low voice when he heard the cheers and cheers inside.

This time period is the peak period of the bar business. Before Abner entered, he felt the heat wave coming, smelled the strong aroma of malt wine, and heard the noisy voices. In terms of atmosphere, this place is different from the modern bar Bars are no different.

The smell of wine was mixed with the smell of sweat. Abner looked around, identified the direction, and then squeezed to the bar counter while protecting his belongings.

Before the bartender could speak, he imitated Klein's tone and experience in the novel and said first: "A glass of Southwell beer." This is the best beer produced in the Kingdom of Loen. Of course, Abner doesn't know whether it is true or not. , because it seems from the novel.

"Five pence." The bartender replied familiarly.

Abner took out the 5p he had prepared and gave it to the other party, in exchange for a large wooden cup filled with golden liquor, the aroma of beer was rich and attractive.

"In front of it, a lot of beer can't even be called wine, it can only be regarded as a drink." The bartender laughed.

Abner took the cup and didn't drink it. He just looked at it for a while, looked at the fine and white foam in the cup, and then asked, "Where is Caspers Kalinin?" Li is the guide who leads the protagonist Klein to the party.

The bartender stopped wiping the cup, looked up at him for a few seconds, and pointed to the side: "In the house of cards No. 2."

Abner nodded, took the cup and walked outside the No. 2 house of cards. He just knocked lightly, and the door creaked and swung open.

There were four people in the room, they all looked over when they heard the door knocking. Abner didn't recognize any of them, so he had to consider his tone and said, "Gentlemen, good evening, I'm looking for Kaspers Kallinen."

Hearing this, one of the four people, a half-centenarian with a big nose and a linen shirt, limped over after covering the cards. He was a little impatient at first, but after he saw that Abner was hiding under the cloak When looking at his face, he said in surprise, "Abner? Why are you here?!"

What? This old man recognizes me? Why am I not impressed? This script is wrong! Abner's mind changed sharply, and he searched the memory of the original owner, but unfortunately he still didn't have any impression.

"This is not a place to talk, you follow me!" Caspers seemed not surprised by Abner's bewilderment,

He led him to a private lounge, and then continued: "You probably don't know me, but I know you, Abner! Your father once did me a big favor, and he and I are friends."

"Father's friend?" Abner wondered, no wonder he had no relevant memory.

"Yes, it's a pity that I found out about the accident in your family late, otherwise it should be able to help him, at least it can prevent him from signing that usury contract full of traps, at least it can prevent him from committing suicide. Hey, when I hear about this Afterwards, I could only secretly help you block those debt-collecting gangsters, so that they would no longer pursue unreasonable interest. It was also at that time that I saw your photo." Kaspers simply explained a few words.

It turned out that my father also borrowed usury from gangsters? That's right, under normal circumstances, even if the family goes bankrupt, as a former big businessman, his father still has the network resources to make a comeback, but if he has nothing and is burdened with difficult debts, he is really desperate! Coupled with the disappearance of his mother, it is no wonder that he committed suicide... Abner sighed for a while, and at the same time, he felt a little grateful to Kaspers. It is the other party's credit for being so calm.

At the same time, Abner had a strange sense of familiarity with this matter. After all, he had just helped Xio reason and analyze yesterday, so he said to the old man in front of him: "Thank you for your generous action... Can you tell me, to whom does father ask?" Borrowed from usury?"

"It's the 'two-faced man' Rosen! You don't have to thank me, firstly, I'm paying back your father's favor, and secondly, I'm just exempting them from unreasonable interest, principal and normal interest. It has been taken from the auction of your villa." Kaspers replied.

It really is this Rosen. I didn't expect that I have such a 'fate' with him. It seems that after I become a Extraordinary, I will help Miss Xio fix him more.

Caspers was not surprised to see that Abner was silent after hearing Rosen's name, and asked, "By the way, Abner, how did you find me here? You came to me again what?"

Abner came back to his senses when he heard the words. Thinking about the business, he straightened his expression and said, "I'm here to find the party organized by the Extraordinary, yes, it's the Extraordinary you know. I heard that you can lead the way." !"

"How do you know Extraordinary?! Why are you looking for them? Could it be...?" Kaspers looked at him in surprise and asked.

"Yes, I've been involved in extraordinary incidents, and we can only solve them by finding them!" Abner saw what Kaspers meant, and said evasively. There is no mention of how to know that the other party is the guide.

Kaspers pondered for a while, then looked at Abner carefully, and then said: "Today happens to be their meeting, I will take you there! The people there are quite powerful, as for whether you can gain anything, I will discuss with you. Nothing to do. However, I must warn you in advance not to provoke them, otherwise you may not see the sun tomorrow! Remember, Abner?"

Abner nodded and said, "I won't be so reckless!" After speaking, he asked sincerely, "Do you need to be paid for leading the way?"

Kaspers nodded with satisfaction and said, "You know the rules! Well, for the sake of acquaintances, I'll give you a 50% discount, just one pound."

Abner handed over the 1 pound note without hesitation, and then took an iron mask that could cover the upper half of his face from Kaspers.

After "Put it on", Kaspers led Abner and limped towards the kitchen of the bar, from there he entered the back alley, and walked around to a dark house.

Seeing that Abner had put on his mask, Kaspers took a deep breath, raised his right hand, and knocked on the door, 8 heavy and 1 light, 7 long and 1 short.

Seven or eight seconds later, a small wooden panel on the door was suddenly pulled open, revealing the brown eyes behind it.

After being scrutinized for a while, Abner finally saw the door swing back. A man wearing an iron mask stood there and said to them in a hoarse voice: "The party will start in a minute or two, hurry up!"

He closed the door, turned around, and led Abner through the dark living room and into the first-floor living room. A candle was lit on the coffee table there, and the faint yellow light illuminated the entire room.

There were already about a dozen people sitting on the sofa and chairs around the coffee table, all dressed in iron masks.

Abner found an empty chair and sat down, then looked around, and soon noticed an old man on the single sofa. The nasolabial folds on his cheeks are very deep, and his skin is slightly dry.

"Judging from his appearance and the faint awe of the people around him, this old man should be the 'Eye of Wisdom' Detective Essinger, right?"

When Abner was thinking this way, the old gentleman who seemed to be the "eye of wisdom" looked at the wall clock on the wall, and said in an old voice: "It's time, let's start, don't wait for late friends. "

As soon as he finished speaking, a woman rushed to say: "I want to sell a weapon, it is a dagger, as long as it is stabbed by it, the extraordinary people under Sequence 7 will immediately lose their extraordinary abilities, and those of Sequence 7 and above It will also be affected, resulting in a reduction in the effect of extraordinary abilities. In addition, it is also sharp and strong enough."

"What are its negative effects?" Someone asked.

"Every time it successfully uses it to seal the enemy's extraordinary ability, it will make the user feel as if there are currents rushing through the mind, forming a thorny whip, constantly whipping the soul, painful and numb. But as long as you are prepared in advance, The pain is bearable," replied the woman.

"What do you want to exchange it for?" Someone was obviously moved. This dagger has a surprising effect in the battle between Extraordinary people.

"550 pounds or the 'Barbarian' formula of Sequence 8!"

It turned out to be the lady in the original book who has been changing the formula for 'Barbarian'. Although I have this formula in my memory, I was here to sell other formulas today. It would be too eye-catching to take out this one, and melee weapons are too It's not very suitable for me. After all, I don't know any fighting skills at all. It would be just right for Xio to hold it...

When Abner was thinking wildly, the dagger had already been bought by a middle-aged man for 550 pounds.

Afterwards, a few more people proposed transactions, some of which succeeded, and some of which failed. Abner looked at the interval of a transaction, exhaled slowly, and said in a low voice:

"I want to sell potion formulas!"
