Chapter 5 Curiosity Kills...

Looking at Xio who showed complicated emotions, Abner remembered the "Lune-style" implicitness in the original work. He did not answer directly, but laughed and said:

"Don't be envious, you will soon catch up with me."

——Just a few days ago, Xio's "ritual" application report was finally approved by the military's top brass, and one of the Berot Mountain Apes' nests under their control was opened to her, and she relied on the chaotic rules in the mountain ape's nest. , successfully resisted the urge to "self-punish" after taking the magic potion, and became a Sequence 5 "Punishing Knight".

Abner is really a demigod... Xio vaguely remembered the agreement she made with Abner about "demigods" when they were traveling together. At that time, she still felt that such a superior existence as "demigods" was very far away from her. , and may even never be reached...

But how long has it been? In just ten months, Abner has opened the door to the Saint and obtained divinity...and I am already a Sequence 5 Beyonder...

Maybe within a few years, I will be able to truly understand the truth behind my father’s injustice!

Regarding what happened to her father, although Xio secretly investigated and made some guesses as he used the convenience of a formal member of MI9, her intuition was still far from the truth. After all, Abner and Vera could Things that His Highness has chosen not to talk about are obviously not that simple.

"I have no confidence that I can keep up with you... After all, even His Highness has the demigod characteristics that he collected himself. It is unlikely that I can obtain materials from MI9, even if I have made great contributions..." Xio first laughed at himself, then adjusted his mood and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Abner... Also, since you have succeeded, shouldn't you treat yourself to a treat to celebrate?"

"Of course I have to invite guests, and I have already prepared for it... After all, many people have provided help for my ceremony..."

It means that people are divided into groups. If they are all called together, I have a feeling that something bad will happen.

After Abner muttered in his heart, he changed the subject and said pointedly: "Actually, the materials for your promotion to demigod are not missing."

Xiu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then realized something and asked: "You mean the 'Ghost Empire'?"

"That's right, it's been less than two months since the next 'Ghost Empire' 'arrival'. If you take the time to digest the current 'Retribution Knight', you may have the opportunity to be promoted to Demigod by then." Abner smiled and nodded.

"No one knows what is hidden in the 'Ghost Empire'..." Xio shook his head and refused to fantasize about uncertain things. "What's more, the ritual of the 'Law Master' is not that easy to complete."

Although I don't know what treasures there are in the depths of the "Ghost Empire", "Giuseppe Castilla" died there, and he... well, it is 'my' characteristic of 'Law Master' that must still be there...

Abner said in his mind, while ostensibly recalling the 'Judge Card' he had seen before, and said thoughtfully: "The promotion ceremony of the 'Law Mage' requires the enactment of laws in a town with at least 10,000 people. and rules, and let everyone recognize and abide by them from the bottom of their hearts, right?”

"Yes... without official cooperation, this ceremony will be difficult to complete..." Xio sighed.

"In fact, it's not difficult... You know, I'm about to be awarded the title of 'Viscount Bertin'. There are many towns under that city, so it shouldn't be difficult to design it." Abner had several ideas in his mind instantly. He continued, "In addition, if I don't want to attract official attention, I actually have a hereditary baron title in Segar, and I also have a territory...but the population may not be 10,000."

Sehgal's title of baron came from the original "Apostle of Light" Balu, and the main legacy he left to Abner was the title he bought with money.

Of course, if necessary, Abner can also use his identity as "Giuseppe Castilla" to return to Feneport and inherit the Count of Sevia... But this is more troublesome, even if he now owns everything about Giuseppe Memory also requires some tricks. After all, according to Closfia, the current earl title has long been inherited by Giuseppe's younger brother.

"Let's wait until we really get the demigod characteristics before we talk about this." Xio waved her hand, seemingly not paying much attention to it, but Abner's concern for this matter still made the corners of her mouth curl up unconsciously.

After the two chatted for a while, a staff member came and knocked on the door to inform them that the banquet was about to begin.

Speaking of which, the film "Searching for the Laurel" had a huge impact on the audience, because unlike the previous "Russell Gustav", although that film was well-made, it was actually different from other films of the same type. Drama and opera both have their own merits, but they are just more realistic.

But this film is completely different. It is the first adventure film of this era!

For those who have never seen the vastness of the world and the ferocity of the sea, the visual stimulation is unparalleled!

And in the end, the scene where Abner used "knowledge" to calculate the escape speed and angle, and successfully brought the "Laurel" out of the "Maelstrom" has become an eternal classic and is unforgettable.

After all, the news that Abner Bryan successfully relied on the treasure to obtain a knighthood made everyone think that what was told in the film was true.

Of course, only Abner and Crossfia, who was responsible for shooting the material, knew that although the formula used in the calculation was correct, the weight of the "Laurel" was actually distorted by Abner using the "mutated Tudor emblem", and then Let the "lazy" lady who turned into a dragon drag her out...

And the bottom of that big whirlpool is not simple, there is actually an undersea castle!

The legend of the Undersea City has been circulating on the sea for thousands of years, but Abner, who found it personally, knew that it did not contain the so-called "powerful monster" as the story said... what it sealed was actually the "Sea of ​​Chaos" Entrance! Just like the castle in the core area of ​​Delaire Forest that seals the entrance to the "Sea of ​​Chaos".

This is also the reason why many extraordinary people have tried to divine the whereabouts of the "Laurel" for more than a hundred years, but have never been successful... I just don't know how Russell found it.

In short, just looking at the excitement and enthusiasm of the audience after the premiere, we can know that "Searching for the Laurel" has achieved unprecedented success.

Therefore, the banquet was naturally filled with praises and congratulations. The invited entrepreneurs and celebrities all got close to Abner and looked forward to cooperating with this upstart of Loen.

While they were drinking and drinking, Abner was also constantly using his ability to "observe" the "river of destiny" of the people present for a period of time. Although the results obtained by such simple observation without preparation would not be too accurate, it still allowed him to Identify who can continue to work together and who should drift apart.

For example, the wealthy businessman he was talking to was destined to have a financial crisis in the near future because of his adventurous character. Different "tributaries" were just a matter of more compensation and less compensation...

Therefore, Abner only vaguely mentioned the risks of some projects and let them enter a certain "tributary of destiny" with less losses, and said nothing more.

When he did this, it wasn't just for show or out of kindness...

But to make up for the fate of the housekeeper who followed the wealthy businessman's wife.

This lady named Taneya rose from the lowest maid to the head maid, and then followed the current wealthy businessman's wife to a wealthy merchant and became a housekeeper...

According to the development of the original work, after the wealthy businessman went bankrupt and fired her, she was introduced to Klein by Walter and became Dawn's housekeeper.

But due to Abner's time travel, the current situation has long changed. The development of this woman's fate has long been missed by Klein... In Abner's observation, there is a "tributary" with high possibility that is quite bleak, so he Only then did he make up for it by guiding wealthy businessmen.

After becoming a "prophet", Abner still adheres to his principles of life: forget it if you haven't encountered him. Now that he has encountered someone and has the ability to change, he will lend a helping hand.

…

Jacobshavn is the second largest city on Sunia Island.

After Klein walked out of the theater, he felt a little unfinished and sad at the same time.

What is still unfinished is naturally the content of the film that makes him, a modern person who has watched countless movies, hooked because there are many exciting scenes in it that are very real and do not look like special effects at all...

Of course, in this world of extraordinary power, Klein also guessed that it might not really be a special effect.

What is sad is that the property of 3 million pounds was actually donated by Mr. "Tower"... only in exchange for the title of "Viscount" with little real benefit.

Although he also knew that Mr. "Ta" was planning to use this matter as a "ceremony", he couldn't make a fortune in silence, and it was actually a very correct choice to directly use it as a donation.

After all, with such a large amount of property in hand, I don’t know how many people and forces will make plans. Even if Mr. "Tower" is not afraid, it will be very troublesome.

Not to mention that it is actually difficult to define the ownership of this property. The original owner of the "Layer", Luen Maritime Trading Company, still exists!

There is currently no international law that stipulates that property salvaged on the high seas belongs to the discoverer... It's just everyone's acquiescence. If we really want to take it seriously, I'm afraid we will have to file a lawsuit.

It is really the most time-saving and labor-saving decision for Mr. "Ta" to directly "donate" the money to exchange for a title. It is estimated that the Augustus family, the largest shareholder of Luen Sea Trading Company, will not be able to lose face. Sue a newly created noble.

"But I still feel that Mr. Tower is at a loss... I have worked so hard to kill so many pirates, and the money I earned is not even enough for this fraction."

After Klein lamented his fellow villager's wasteful behavior, he went to a seafood store and prepared to buy a box of "canned wolf fish".

He originally planned to set off from the Rhoside Islands and go directly to Nas, the capital of the Gargas Islands, the "White City", where he would wait for the "Future" to pick him up to search for mermaids in the waters of the "God War Ruins" that Abner said.

The reason why he arrived at Sonia Island first was because the Gargas Islands were too far away from the mainland and there was no cinema line laid out yet, and he also wanted to contribute to Mr. "Tower"'s ceremony, so he took a detour.

Now that he has watched the film, he naturally wants to rush to Nas as soon as possible.

At this time, Klein remembered that the "Alchemist" who could upgrade "Creeping Hunger" recommended by Roy King, the teacher of "Fat Pharmacist" Darkwill, also happened to live in Nas.

According to Roy King, the master known as "Nas's Idiot"'s favorite food is "canned wolf fish", so Klein wanted to buy some from Sunia Island.

But when he moved the box and boarded the ship bound for Nass, a sailor saw the label on the box during a routine safety inspection, causing everyone to quickly stay away and keep a distance of at least three meters from him... …

Klein's mouth twitched just now, remembering the terrifying reputation of this kind of can.

"But among the food that Miss Temperance sent to the Sun, there was also 'canned wolf fish'... but the people in Silver City don't seem to reject it, right?"

Klein, who was confused and curious, secretly opened a can in his first-class cabin that night. Then, the crazy adventurer Gehrman Sparrow used great perseverance to control the "creeping hunger" to consume the entire can. After swallowing, he opened the window for ventilation, ran to the deck with his mouth covered, squatted down holding on to the railing, and retched silently...
