Chapter 10 Asking for help

"Not far from the subway station is the Holy Wind Cathedral, let's go there!" At this moment, Xio barely recovered from the previous emotional loss, and said to Abner while running.

Abner nodded upon hearing this. Although neither of them is a believer in the Lord of Storms, it is clear that the tyrant poses a greater threat to the evil ones. It is the best choice to go to the church now that the enemy is in the dark. As for why the railway from the East End to St. George's District passes by the Holy Wind Cathedral in the Jowood District? It is common sense that the subway loops go around in circles!

The two ran all the way. Although the other people on the platform were a little strange, they didn't take it seriously, they only thought they were in a hurry. Only a man near the duty room, wearing a cap and squatting on the ground with his head covered with his hands, looked at Xio's back with a ferocious expression. He seemed to be in great pain, bean-sized beads of sweat kept falling from his cheeks, and there was a badge with a big gap in his hand. But the strange thing is that the people around him didn't notice his abnormality.

This subway station is less than a hundred meters away from the Church of the Holy Wind. After exiting the station, Abner saw the headquarters of the Church of the Storm that was more than a thousand years ago. They walked quickly to the courtyard wall of the church. I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Once here, unless the Extraordinary who plotted against Xio has lost his mind, he will not attack again. After all, even if he launches an attack here, even if he succeeds, he has to consider whether he will be smashed into ashes by a flash of lightning from the tyrant.

Abner and Xio did not enter the church. They are not believers of the storm, but they are 'wild' Extraordinary. If they find out, they may be arrested by the punishers.

The two leaned against the church wall to rest for a while, before Xio said: "Thank you, Abner. Without your help, I might have been immersed in those inexplicable emotions and lost control and become a monster just now..." After just now For the matter, she felt more gratitude and trust to Abner.

Abner waved his hand to signal that he should not be concerned, and then asked, "Hugh, who did you offend, and why did you get cursed?"

"I'm sorry, I have troubled you!" Xio bowed his head and apologized, and then replied while thinking about it, "After listening to your analysis that day, I have been investigating that consultant named 'Sick', asking After many of Rosen's former subordinates, he found that there was something really wrong with that person. Not only was he very good at persuading others and eliminating dissidents, but he was also constantly instigating Rosen to lend usury through contracts with traps, causing many families to be ruined... In addition , He is also related to many slave traders, and he is keen on abducting and selling the family members of those bankrupt families..."

"Listen, that Sigg doesn't look like a 'swindler', but more like an 'instigator' of the Witch Path. After all, deception must be done by oneself, and deception through others should not be the rule of deception... ...However, he is still in contact with the slave trader, maybe he also found someone to take away the mother of my body... Wait!" Abner was pinching his chin with his fingers and thinking, suddenly, his pupils flicked Shrinking, a flash of lightning seemed to flash across his mind, making him connect the plot of the novel with the situation in front of him, and instantly understood a lot of things!

"If that Xigg is really the instigator, then he should belong to the Witch Sect, and the Witch Sect cooperates with the Loen royal family in the novel, and constantly traffics people to provide sacrifices to the emperor who wants to become a god... Could it be that this is also the case? George III’s plan to become the Dark Emperor? In the original book, Klein uncovered a slave trader, Kapin, but how could there be only one subordinate to handle such a big plan? Well, such a small loan shark gangster cannot be a high-level Personally arrange it, it should just be the convenience of the peripheral organization..."

After figuring this out, Abner's face was a little ugly. After all, the level involved in this matter is too high, and it's not something that a small Sequence 9 of him can interfere with. The only good news is that that Sigg is probably just a peripheral person, and he shouldn't be able to mess with any powerful characters.

"Have you thought of anything?" Seeing that Abner's expression changed, Xio asked worriedly.

Abner looked at Xio. In the original book, the other party accidentally beat Rosen seriously in this case and sent him to prison. Now it seems that there is a possibility that a Extraordinary person interfered with her, otherwise this lady would not be very happy. It may be so heavy on an ordinary person. But now, because of his previous reminder, Xio found out a deeper secret, which attracted the other party's curse.

"In a sense, it's my meddling that put her in danger..." Thinking of this, Abner felt a little guilty, and he hesitated for a while, wondering if he should tell the other party the truth, after all, if he spoke seriously , She was actually one of the victims of George III's attempt to become a god, but soon he decided to conceal it for the time being. The reason is very simple. He has no way to explain the source of the information, simply saying that the reasoning is too false.

"I think Schick may be an 'instigator', not a 'conspirator' as I speculated before... He may be a member of the Witch Sect or the Gnostic Society." After deliberating a bit of information, Abner spoke Turn, turn around, "The key now is not this, but how to deal with the cursed magic pattern on your body! If you don't purify it, the attacker will use it to make you lose control again sooner or later!"

Xiu Wenyan also frowned, and asked, "It was the curse that you helped me solve just now... Abner, did you see what kind of curse it was? Also, what happened to your white pupils?" thing?"

"That's because I used a supernatural item." Abner blurted out a sentence first, and then analyzed: "Through emotions, people lose control. Most of this curse comes from the abyss path, and it should be a sealed item!"

He had actually figured it out on the road before that the pure white eye could help Xio return to normal, not because he had the ability to break the curse actively, but because when Xio looked at him, the caster wanted to spread the curse to the rest of the world through his sight. On him, he was tragically suppressed by the Pure White Eye's personality, and the power of the curse that spread over him was not only instantly shattered, but it should have been backlashed back along the connection! This is why the two of them were not attacked in the subway station.

And it is judged that it is the effect of the sealed item rather than the abyss path Extraordinary, because the low-sequence spellcasting will not be too far away. If the person is personally backlashed by such a high-level personality, he may lose control on the spot even if he is not dead. At that time, the subway platform and There was no abnormality in the carriage, which meant that he must still be separated by a layer, only being backlashed by the sealed object. But even so, that person will not feel good.

As for the fact that the attacker was a middle-to-high Sequence, Abner didn't even think about it. It would be so troublesome for such a strong person to deal with their two Sequence 9s. They might not know that they were attacked until they died.

"The path to the abyss?" Xio felt that his knowledge was really poor.

"It is also commonly known as the demon sequence. They are best at playing with emotions and tempting people to fall." Abner briefly explained.

Xio nodded, and didn't ask Abner how he judged that it was a sealed item, but only asked in embarrassment: "Then how to completely remove it?"

If the Fool is here now, just pray to him, and he will use paper angels to help you solve it... Unfortunately, the Fool still has a month to arrive, and now we can only find a way to find the Extraordinary or items on the path of the sun .

While thinking wildly, Abner combined the knowledge in the novel with the magic pattern he had just seen, and gave a suggestion: "This should not be a particularly high-level curse, as long as you find someone to perform an exorcism ceremony."

"Exorcism...do you know how?" Xio blinked and asked.

How can I, a newcomer who has just traveled for four days, do this? While complaining in his heart, Abner kept his face calm, and asked: "Is there no extraordinary circle you know?" For example, the one who will give Klein warmth in the future.

"But there won't be a gathering of the extraordinary circle within a week or two..." Xio lowered his head in frustration. Experienced, she also guessed that the curser was backlashed, and should not attack again in a short period of time, but this short period of time may only be a day or two, and it will never be a week or two.

Considering that it was his own troubles that caused her to fall into this situation, Abner decided to help her again, he thought for a while, and said: "I know a person, he has a magical item that may help you , but I can’t guarantee whether I can contact him, I can only say to try.”

"Thank you, Abner! This is none of your business..." Xio regained some energy after hearing this, and thanked Abner even more.

"You're welcome, let's go!" After Abner finished speaking, he hailed a taxi on the street and told the driver to go to Iron Gate Street in the Bridge District.

Sitting on the seat of the carriage, Xio looked at Abner beside him, and asked with some hesitation: "Are you still going to the shooting club on the Strand Street to practice guns today?"

"I can't go today, so I can only talk about it tomorrow. I hope that Mr. Diff will forgive me." Abner replied with a wry smile.

Xiu Wenyan considered his tone and said: "Actually, if you want to practice guns, you don't have to spend money to go there. I know a place that is secluded and free, and my marksmanship is very good, and I can also be your coach. Of course, practice bullets I can also provide it." She felt that she owed favors and wanted to make up for it.

Abner's eyes lit up when he heard that, and felt that Hugh's proposal was very convincing, and then looked at the knight practice uniform on the other party, and suddenly had a new idea, and asked, "How about your fighting skills, Hugh?"

Xio replied inexplicably: "I have received complete knight training since I was a child!"

"Then how about this, how about I hire you to be my firearms and fighting instructor, how about using the information fee and reasoning fee you owed to pay for it?" Abner said with some shamelessness.

"That's the deal!" Xio was relieved when she heard the words, she didn't like the feeling of owing others, and it was best to repay in this way.

While speaking, the carriage had arrived on Iron Gate Street, and Abner led Xio to find Kaspers in the Bar of the Brave with ease.

The other party gave Abner and Xio a strange look, and asked, "Why did you come back so soon? What's the matter this time?"

"I would like to ask you to send a message to the old gentleman who organized the party, just say that I have completed the study task he assigned, and I would like to ask him to bring a sun brooch to help! The reward is a secret about the Fourth Epoch Knowledge. Well, preferably tonight!"
