Chapter 4 Prophecy and Another Seal

Beldan City is located in Jianhai County. It is a city that rose and fell due to coal mines.

Since the coal mine resources began to deplete, young people in the city gradually left Beldan and went to major cities such as Constantine and Backlund to make a living. This originally prosperous city also quickly lost its vitality, and the atmosphere became increasingly depressed.

After all, even if it is located along the railway line, Beldan has lost its own resources but has not yet found a new position. It is hopeless.

Such a half-dead building, with some reputation but no real benefits, is still located in Jianhai County, a place at the "junction" with Fusac. To be rewarded to a "new Viscount" who has contributed three million pounds of wealth, it has no influence on the Loen royal family. It's a cost-effective thing.

When Abner heard a few days ago that George III would seal the city to himself, he couldn't help feeling that the other party was really calculating.

If he remembered correctly, according to the trajectory of the original work, this Beldan city would fall in the future war. After the war, before he could get over the trauma, he had the misfortune to encounter the Patriarch of the God of War Church with the sealed artifact "0 -02"Escaped here and almost destroyed the city...

"It's really bad luck... But now that I have this 'prophet' who can 'change fate against the will of heaven' as the lord, it's time to turn things around!"

After boasting a few words in his mind, Abner didn't think it was difficult to revitalize the economy of a declining city. He even came up with several plans just thinking about it, such as directly investing in the construction of a "cinema" and exterior buildings there. It has become a filming location for various types of films to complete the transformation of the city...

Isn't it possible that "Northern drifters" will gather here by then? How can there be no energy!

In short, as long as you are willing to invest and use resources, are you afraid that you will not be able to develop?

In particular, Abner can "observe" the city's "fate" at any time, and choose the most "safe" "fate tributary" to guide it.

While thinking about it in his mind, Abner was about to board the carriage and go to the theater in Hillston District.

But at this moment, he suddenly had some strange "premonitions", so he stopped and asked the driver to wait a moment.

This is when his "passive prophecy" ability suddenly gave a warning, telling him to buy the newspaper in the hands of the newsboy in a few minutes, and then "fate" would unfold in his favor.

This feeling is not unfamiliar to Abner. When he was an ordinary person, the "Pure White Eye" actually used "Passive Prophecy" to subtly influence him.

For example, on the first day of his "travel", he suddenly intervened in Xio's mission, and generously told the other party the "acting method". In addition to his own good impression of Xio, the original Tarot Society "judgment" lady, and " In addition to the "reader" path itself having the characteristic of "showing off", it is also very important to subconsciously act in accordance with the "prophecy" to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

It's just that he didn't know at that time that this was the influence of the "Pure White Eyes" on him, and thought it was his decision.

It wasn't until he became a "keeper of knowledge" and further deepened his application of the "Pure White Eyes" that he faintly noticed the clues.

"But what was the benefit of getting close to Xio in the first place?

"Let her and Forsi become my friends?

"In other words, it allowed me to get rid of the unreal feeling in the early days of time travel and have a 'tie'?"

While Abner was thinking wildly, a newsboy came around the corner. His business seemed to be good today. It was just afternoon, and the schoolbag slung on his body was already empty, except for the last newspaper in his hand.

Seeing this, Abner knew that the person in his "prophecy" was him, so he beckoned him to come closer.

The clear voice of the newsboy also sounded, and his tone was slightly uneasy: "Sir, there is only one copy of "Tasok Miscellaneous News" left..."

"Tasok News" is a tabloid that only publishes some trivial matters. Because it rarely uses exaggerated headlines to create gimmicks, its sales volume is very average.

The reason why it has not collapsed as a weekly magazine is because the boss behind it is constantly adding money to its operations...

However, Abner knew that the real boss of the tabloid was actually Stewart, the senior deacon of the "Storm Church". Most of the gossip in the newspaper were stories about the more enlightened families of Storm believers. He seemed to want to use this to express his own opinions. Unfortunately, the influence of some views is still too low.

Speaking of which, Abner would have known about this, or Hugh had told him.

Just over a month ago, on the night when he and Princess Vera met in private, Xio received an urgent task to recover a stolen seal.

The seal was said to be that of the Intis Gustav dynasty, but it was stolen during the exhibition. This embarrassed the "punisher" responsible for security, so he sent Stewart to join in and formed a team with the military. Joint Investigation Team.

At that time, Stewart relied on his own "recalling" ability and the help of his newspaper reporter to discover the house rented by the thief and recover the lost seal overnight.

Unfortunately, the thief escaped in the end. No one even saw his face, and had no idea who he was or why he gave up the seal after stealing it.

Since Stewart had used his reporters in this case, Hugh naturally knew about the Tussock News and later told Abner.

While thinking about this, Abner took out a coin and gave it to the newsboy and bought the newspaper.

Then he climbed into the carriage and read the paper on the way to the theater.

Abner simply glanced at those family emotional stories and quickly focused on an advertisement:

"At ten o'clock this Wednesday morning, the private museum located at No. 16 Pinster Street, North District will open..."

If my hunch is correct, this should be it... Will there be anything beneficial to me on display in this private museum?

Moreover, there is only one advertisement in the entire newspaper... Is the sales volume too low and no one is willing to spend money on advertising, or is this museum actually a related party of the newspaper?

Maybe I should find someone to investigate first...

The thoughtful Abner quickly arrived at the theater. After getting off the carriage, he entered through the back door and soon saw Hugh, who was arranging people to deal with reporters and film critics.

Speaking of which, because the "film and television industry" has just emerged, most of the current film critics are unprofessional, and a large part of them are even "shills" who were "trained" by Abner in advance to set the pace...

After all, the position of public opinion must be occupied in advance... As long as you cultivate some authoritative film critics and establish authoritative film and television periodicals, other competitors will be less likely to surpass your own company.

On the other side, Xio was finally relieved to see Abner appear. She felt that hosting such a scene was more tiring than fighting with the Extraordinary.

However, she still pulled Abner aside first, stood on tiptoe, and looked at him for a long time with a complicated expression, and then she was excited and sincerely happy for him and said: "Did the ceremony succeed?

"Abner, have you become a demigod?"
