Chapter 28 Abner’s Tips

In the cafe opposite the museum, Leonard, a handsome poet with dark hair and blue eyes, watched through the glass window as Abner Brain boarded the carriage and gradually moved away. Then he lowered his head and asked in a lowered voice:

"Old man, do you think there is anything wrong with this new Viscount?"

As soon as he finished speaking, that slightly old voice sounded in his mind:

"You are getting more and more rude. In our era, disrespecting those in high positions meant becoming a living sacrifice."

Having said this, Palestine paused before continuing:

"There is definitely a problem... Otherwise, how could it be possible that he directly became a demigod from the middle sequence in less than a year? But he should have nothing to do with the matter you are investigating."

"You said last time in Bayam that he reminded you of an old friend, right? You also said that he might have been inherited by that person..." After Leonard muttered a few words, he then said doubtfully: "But This detective’s behavior of suddenly coming to a little-known exhibition is still very suspicious!”

"Haha, the actions of the 'prophet' are often unreasonable, but afterwards you will find that things develop in his favor..." Pales Zoroaster chuckled.

"'Prophet'..." Leonard nodded thoughtfully. After being trained by "Red Gloves", he already knew a lot about the paths mastered by other churches and major organizations, and knew that this was the "Reader" In the sequence 4 of the pathway, the formula is apparently only in the hands of the Church of the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom".

He couldn't help but feel a little envious, after all, the other party's improvement speed was exactly what he desired.

Sighing, Leonard seemed to feel a little hot, so he unbuttoned his collar and asked casually: "Since Abner Brain has become a 'prophet', it means that he is a member of the Church of Knowledge..." …How did you become the favored one of the Mother Earth Goddess?”

"There is nothing surprising about this, it's just that you have too little experience... In history, although there are not many cases where members of the Church of the God of Knowledge become favored by the gods of other churches, it still happens once every tens or hundreds of years... …

"Speaking of which, this may be due to the arrogant nature of the 'readers'. They believe more in knowledge and wisdom itself than in the god named after it.

"And the 'God of Knowledge and Wisdom' himself doesn't care much about this, and will let it go as long as he doesn't do anything harmful to the church.

"It turns out that there is no problem with this attitude. Even if the organization is very loose, the cohesion of the Knowledge Church is very good..." Pales said with emotion.

Listening to the old man's detailed description, Leonard nodded and temporarily put aside his suspicion of Abner.

At this moment, an ordinary night watcher pushed open the door and walked into the coffee shop, came to Leonard's side, whispered a few words in his ear, and then turned and left.

"Felina suddenly received an invitation from Stuart to go to Dixi Bay for a vacation, and went on a romantic, just-in-time trip?!"

After Leonard recounted the affair, he was wary and confused: "Why did she suddenly leave Backlund just when I wanted to investigate her?

"There are also the deaths of her previous husbands, and her luck in picking antiques...

"It's all full of 'coincidences'!

"Hey, if it weren't for Stelter and the Church of Storms, I would have brought her back to the company for interrogation!"

Having said this, he tilted his head again and asked, "Old man, what do you think?"

"It is indeed a 'coincidence'... but her 'coincidence' should be just because of 'luck' and has nothing to do with '0-08'. You don't have to waste your time."

Leonard was stunned for a second and said:

"Old man, are you familiar with '0-08'?"

Never showed it before!

Pales laughed in a slightly older voice:

"Of course I'm very familiar with it. In the Fourth Age, '0-08' caused the fall of angels.

"I can't say too much to you, because if you know it, it will also know you. The better you understand it, the more likely you are to become a member of the story."

Leonard truly tasted the horror of "0-08" from the old man's vague words. This was beyond the mysticism he could understand!

"Then why didn't you tell me before I conducted the investigation?" After thinking for a moment, Leonard asked habitually.

Upon seeing this, Pales Zoroaster chuckled and whispered:

"People just have to experience something in order to grow."

"..." Leonard was speechless for a moment.

…

City of Silver, inside the round tower.

Derrick Berg once again met Colin Iliad, the chief of the "Six-person Council".

He clearly remembered that nearly seventy "days" ago, the other party told him that in about two months, he would have an exploration mission and he had to be prepared.

In the past two months, with the help of patrol missions and hard practice, Derrick has completely mastered the various extraordinary abilities of the "Sun Priest", and is not too far away from digesting them.

What he hopes most now is to obtain the magic potion formula of "Sun" Path Sequence 6 in the next two to three Tarot gatherings, laying the foundation for his continued improvement.

"Afternoon Town..." After hearing the destination of this mission from the chief, Derrick was stunned at first, and then saw the other party's eyes that were almost "explicit", and he had some clarity in his heart:

The chief wanted him to report this matter to Mr. Fool and inform that great being that Silver City was already exploring the direction of the Giant King's Court in accordance with his wishes.

After all, Afternoon Town was the only way from the Kingdom of Silver to the King's Court of Giants. There, humans and giants lived together in the town, surrounded by the residence of the ancient gods that was always frozen in dusk, just like the final gate from the real world to myths and legends.

Such a place must be very dangerous, and the chief also hopes to get some support or tips.

"I need a quiet room." Derrick said carefully.

Colin Iliad seemed to have been prepared. He raised his finger and pointed to the corridor and said:

"Many of the rooms with open doors opposite are empty. You can choose one by yourself."

"Yes, Your Excellency, Chief." Derrick bowed and exited. He randomly found an unoccupied room, locked the wooden door, sat down, and prayed in a low voice in a dark corner with his eyes glowing slightly.

…

"Future", a spacious room with attached bathroom.

Klein, who had just stepped onto the "Star Bridge" in front of everyone at the port and boarded the flagship of the "Star Admiral", stood by the window, looking at the endlessly undulating blue ocean outside, breathing in a good mood from the north The cold wind blowing.

Thinking back to the "toxin expert" Frank Lee and the "bloodless man" Heath Doyle he had just met, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch. He always felt that there seemed to be no normal people on Cattleya's ship...

In comparison, Miss Jian, who talks a lot, is not so "outstanding".

Just as he thought of this, Klein suddenly heard a disembodied voice of prayer. He retracted his thoughts, entered the bathroom, came above the gray fog, and soon heard Mr. "Sun"'s prayer.

"Afternoon Town? How do I know where that place is? You should ask Liu Bo about this! I remember that once in his life, he came to the place abandoned by the gods."

Feeling deeply troubled, Klein thought for a moment, gritted his teeth, and directly transferred the Sun's request to the Tower.

…

Backlund, in the villa at No. 28 Jinster Street.

Abner had just brought Fanny and Elaine back from Intis, and was discussing the political situation in Trier and the company's development strategy with the ladies at the banquet.

At this moment, boundless gray fog appeared in front of his eyes.

After a while, he came back to his senses and continued the previous topic, only muttering in his heart:

Afternoon town? That place is actually similar in nature to the Kingdom of Darkness, and the "Kabas" town I entered in Professor Michelle's dream... As long as the spiritual body is pulled into the space above the gray fog by Mr. "The Fool", It's safe.

However, Klein actually directly forwarded the request from "The Sun"... He is becoming less and less pretentious...

…

Dong-dong-dong, the knock on the door echoed in the chief room at the top of the round tower.

And long before the sound sounded, Colin Iliad already knew that Derrick Berg opened the door and walked towards this side.

"Come in." He turned around and faced the entrance.

Derrick pushed the door open, bowed and said:

"Your Majesty, I got some tips."

Colin Iliad nodded calmly and said:

"What are they?"

"First, the monsters in Afternoon Town are afraid of strong light; second, in the real Afternoon Town, you must be careful about the 'strange Afternoon Town' you will fall into after being triggered..." Derrick paused after saying this. In Abner's tone, he continued, "Once you fall into it, it is best to recite the honorable name immediately: The fool who does not belong to this era..."

…

On Thursday morning, after Abner sent Fanny, who was staying alone, back to Intis, he did not rush back to Backlund, but drove to a single room in a rather remote cafe.

Soon, "Black Knight" Cello, whose destiny was usurped by the former pope of "Eternal Blazing Sun", sat down opposite him after saluting.

"My lord, the prime minister of the Delien family seems to be going crazy."
