Mystery: Start with the Reader

The so-called "stone platform" is actually a collective name for a deep-water area on the west coast of Damir, and it got its name because there is a natural flat rock nearby.

Because of the deep water and few reefs, and the location is quite hidden, it is naturally regarded as a private port by many adventurers.

Abner and Hugh didn't have to wait long before they saw a brig about twenty meters long appearing in sight, and Miss Gwen was already standing at the bow waving at them.

Not allowing the other party to send a boat to pick him up, Abner straightened his hat, and with a strong wind under his feet, he flew to the deck of the sailboat with Hugh.

"It turns out that you are a 'Wind Blessed One'!" Seeing this scene, Gwen was even more awed in her eyes. Although she also saw Abner make a move that night, it was too dark and she had no night vision ability. So understanding is limited. But now that the shining 'flying' ability came out, she immediately had a guess in her heart.

Abner didn't correct it when he heard the words. He wished that everyone would misunderstand him. Wasn't he showing his hand just to frighten the rest of the crew on board, so as not to cause trouble?

Miss Gwen was wearing a white shirt, dark trousers, and a black waistcoat. She was dressed somewhat neutrally. But this is also normal. If a beautiful lady is the captain and dresses up beautifully, I am afraid that the crew will be guarded against thieves every day. After all, Miss Gwen is only a Sequence 9, and she doesn't have the strength to suppress all dissatisfaction of the fleet like Vice Admiral Future Disease.

After Abner greeted her briefly, he came to the guest room on the ship, leaving only Xio to continue the exchange of greetings.

The reason why he did this was because he needed a quiet place to gather his thoughts. Because on the second day after Harbor Town was attacked, he found some clues in a room of the hotel in the small town during his private investigation. thing.

"It turned out that people from the Aurora Society were going to find something important in the northern forest, so they broke the ban? But they didn't seem to find anything... No matter how you think about it, it seems like a conspiracy to blame the lunatics of the Aurora Society. .Moreover, there were people from 'Vice Admiral Twilight' landed in Damir Town that night!"

Thinking of this, Abner recalled the description of this pirate general in the original book, and found that apart from an inexplicable annexation with the fleet of the "Admiral of Blood", the presence of this pirate general was extremely low, almost Just a character like a backdrop.

"'Twilight Admiral'...Twilight...Hey, is this the Twilight of the Twilight Giants? Or the Twilight of some unspeakable organization? Maybe...it's not out of the question! That organization is in It is normal for the top leaders of the major churches to have spies."

While Abner was guessing based on various clues, he suddenly found that the digestion progress of the "reasoning student" had improved a lot!

"What's the situation? Is it because my reasoning involves high-level existence? So there is a lot of feedback?"

Abner stood up in surprise, knowing that he used Extraordinary characteristics to advance to Sequence 8, which was equivalent to having an extra Sequence 9 for him to spend. But now, he reckons that it will be completely digested in about a week.

"It's not enough to involve high-level beings, but only when they are reasonably involved in reasoning based on evidence and clues will there be feedback. This... this ordinary reasoning student may not have the opportunity or the ability to do this. Only I am pure Only with the help of White Eyes can we see the slight clues left by high-ranking beings, and we can think about some information related to high-ranking beings under the cover of Pure White Eyes..."

Abner sat down again after figuring this out. This is also a benefit brought by Goldfinger. Compared with Klein's Sequence 9, when he dared to divination the Eternal Blazing Sun, this is a basic operation.

...

On a hidden island in the northwest of Damir Island, Mr. D, the envoy of the Aurora Society, looked at the pirate in front of him coldly. He looked normal, but said in a serious tone: "You said you made a mistake?"

The pirate's body trembled like chaff,

It took a lot of perseverance to not run away immediately, but he still couldn't speak clearly: "We made a mistake...it's not Damir...it's on a small island southeast of Damir...I know the exact coordinates..."

"I hope that little girl from the Einhorn family didn't lie to me this time! Otherwise, even if she is a noble from the Angel family, even if there is a demigod behind her, our Aurora Society will definitely take revenge!" Mr. D left these words behind. After that, he said to the rest of the members behind him:

"Take him, let's sail to the small island he mentioned! In addition, send this news back to Enmat Port. If we don't hear back after that, it must be 'Vice Admiral Twilight' who is playing tricks!"

"Yes! My lord envoy!"

...

On the afternoon of July 8th, Miss Gwynn's "Allenheim" was sailing at full speed with full sail! Because just an hour ago, a large three-masted sail dual-purpose pirate ship stared at them.

The "Alenheim" is just an old-fashioned sailing ship, and its speed cannot outrun a steam engine when the wind is not going smoothly. If there is a suspected "wind favored person" on board, the sailors would have surrendered long ago.

"What are the origins of these pirates? There have been a lot of punishers in the waters near Damir recently, and they are not afraid of encountering them?" Abner stood on the deck and asked, frowning. He wasn't too nervous, even if the boat under his feet was sunk, he could still use the 'Sea Wind Cap' to escape from the water.

But he has nothing to do now, the 'Sea Wind Cap' has water-related spells, but the pirate ship is still far away, beyond the range of his spellcasting.

"Being able to use the steamship is probably related to some trading companies. Only they will spend money to raise pirates to fight against competitors." Miss Gwen felt that her luck was really bad recently, no matter what she did, she was not going well.

At this moment, Xio interjected and asked, "Can you bring it closer and fight on board?"

"Because I don't dare to bet...if they get close and fire, the 'Alenheim' will be over!" Miss Gwen shook her head and said in frustration, "Now I can only hope that a church ship will pass by by chance... ..."

Before she finished speaking, Abner keenly noticed that the pirate ship behind seemed to be slowing down.

"what happened?"

Abner flew into the air with his feet supported by the strong wind, looked into the distance, and then saw a majestic and pure blazing beam of light shooting from the junction of sea and sky in the south, directly piercing the pirate ship with a diameter of nearly A five-meter hole!

Immediately afterwards, while Gwen, Hugh, and Abner were still stunned, a sailboat tens of meters long, clean and tidy, with a golden color reflected in the sun, sailed from far to near at an extremely fast speed.

"Golden Dream..." Ms. Gwen murmured to herself as she stared at the warship that seemed to come from fantasy. Lieutenant General Bingshan is the goal and dream she has been striving for.

"Golden Dream? That was the cannon of purification just now? The novel says it can only be used ten times, and then six 'priests of light' will be required to perform a ceremony to pray to the gods to refill their spirituality... Vice Admiral Bingshan actually did it for Save us and fire a shot?" Abner was a little surprised, but when he thought that the other party was also from the Church of Knowledge, he suddenly had some thoughts: maybe the knowledge favored by him who usually pulls a tiger's skin and pulls a banner, maybe it is true?

However, the Golden Dream did not stop because of them, but directly passed the "Alenheim" and continued to sail north!

Abner only vaguely felt a curious gaze sized him up.

...

On the Golden Dream, Danitz asked inexplicably: "Captain, why did you deliberately go around to help others kill the pirates?"

Lieutenant General Bingshan did not answer, but only replied pointedly: "This is the meaning of this return voyage... Moreover, the ship of the Aurora Society is dozens of miles away!"

...

At the same time, in Tingen City, Klein is currently in the topaz room of the Seer Association, preparing to divination for a lady wearing a light blue dress who is depressed and melancholy.

"Hello, Mr. Moretti." The woman in the light blue dress sat down.

"Good afternoon, what should I call you?" Klein asked politely, without any expectation of getting an answer.

"You can call me Anna." The woman in the light blue dress put her gauze hat aside, looked at Klein with expectations and doubts, and said, "I want to divination about my fiancé's condition, he is for a business, I went to the Southern Continent in March. On the 3rd of last month, he sent a telegram to his family and me, saying that he was about to set sail and return. However, after 20 days, he still did not return. At first I thought it was the weather of the violent sea. , but today, more than a month has passed, and although the ship 'Clover' he was on arrived at Enmat Port, there is no news of the people on board."

Klein looked at his first client in the true sense of his "Seer" career, and asked cautiously:

"Which divination method do you want to use?"
