Mystery: Start with the Reader

"The Sword of the Goddess? What is he doing here?" After putting away his luggage, Abner thought so in his heart and asked.

Detective Essinger took a puff of his cigarette and replied playfully, "This actually has something to do with you."

"What does it have to do with me?" Abner's heart tightened when he heard that, he had received too much attention from high-ranking beings recently, and he didn't want to have one more.

"Do you still remember that you sold the potion formula of the Seer Sequence at my Extraordinary Party?" Detective Essinger asked with a smile.

"That was the first time I went to your party... I remember that I sold the 'Seer' of Sequence 9 and the 'Joker' formula of Sequence 8." Abner nodded and said, this happened less than two Month, his memory is not that bad.

"The one who bought the formula from you is the lady code-named 'Poison Rose'. She sold me a copy of the extraordinary characteristics of 'Joker' at the last party!" Detective Essinger said meaningfully.

This...wouldn't be that lady training 'clowns' to kill and sell them? That's not right, the Extraordinary characteristics of 'Joker' are worth at most six or seven hundred pounds, so doing this is definitely a loss...

Abner was taken aback at first, and then thought a little funny.

Detective Essinger glanced at him, guessed that his student was thinking wildly again, ignored him, and continued: "I guess the clown trained by Ms. Poison Rose betrayed her. At that party Her body is obviously inconvenient, and she seems to have suffered serious injuries."

"But what does this have to do with the visit of Lord Sword of the Goddess?" Abner asked suspiciously.

"Because the Church of the Evernight Goddess has been secretly collecting related items of the Seer Sequence, and Extraordinary characteristics are no exception." Detective Essinger explained with a smile.

"In other words, you sold that feature to the Nighthawks?" Abner thought thoughtfully, but he soon realized something was wrong, because how could such a level of trading disturb a frontal fighting ability? A sacred object contractor who has reached the level of a demigod.

He looked at his teacher suspiciously, thinking that there must be something else going on.

Detective Essinger couldn't see what his student was thinking. He shook his head and said, "I don't know why Your Excellency 'Goddess Sword' came here in person...but I guess it should be related to something extraordinary that he is dealing with. related to the incident."

"You mean...'divination'?" Abner suddenly asked when he heard the words. Although I have gained some experience through this trip, compared to old thugs like my teacher... no, I am an experienced Extraordinary, but I still lack experience.

"That's right, the Nighthawks have the 'Seer' and 'Secret Peer' sequence potions, and they don't lack divination abilities. They must have seen something related to me or you in the divination interpretation of a certain case, so' Your Excellency will come to the door in person." Detective Essinger nodded with satisfaction, very satisfied with the reaction of his students, and said with emotion:

"With your current reasoning ability, I'm afraid it won't be long before you can digest the 'reasoning student' potion!"

Abner was dumbfounded when he heard the words, he puffed up his chest, smiled and showed off to Detective Essinger: "Teacher, I'm already a 'keeper of knowledge'."

Detective Essinger was taken aback for a moment, then looked at his student in disbelief, and asked hesitantly, "Is what you said true?"

"Of course!" After Abner replied, he used the "breath extraction" ability in front of the teacher, and took away most of the remaining breath in the room.

Although this skill has no external performance, Detective Essinger, who can also perceive and extract breath, can't find that the breath in the room is missing so much, and immediately understands what Abner just did.

"I didn't expect you to finish my journey of more than ten years in just one month..."

Detective Essinger didn't know what to say. He felt envious, relieved, and regretful.

There is unwillingness, in short, it is very complicated.

After a long while, he adjusted his mentality, took a deep breath of the cigarette, and then asked, "What have you experienced in this entrusted mission?"

After thinking about it for a while, Abner ruled out the content related to "Dream Labyrinth Tower", "Tarot Society", Queen of Mysteries, Duke of Blood, and God of Knowledge and Wisdom, and changed the rest of the experience slightly, before telling the story come out.

But even so, Detective Essinger was a little startled when he heard it. He asked himself that he might not be able to handle things better than his students on some occasions. For example, in the shipwreck in the cave, he felt that he would not find a way to restrict the sealed items so quickly. Little do they know that their students actually have cheats.

"I didn't expect your trip to be so exciting... No wonder you were promoted to Sequence 7." Detective Isinger, who had heard the ins and outs, accepted the fact that Abner was rapidly promoted a lot.

"Teacher, how are those two witches?" Abner couldn't help asking, remembering the "report" teaching before leaving Backlund.

"That Ms. Rey came here once later, and I gave her the information about the single male nobleman... However, she seems to be quite disappointed that she didn't see you." Detective Essinger restrained his inner emotions at this time. Emotions, teased with a half-smile.

"Teacher, stop joking..." Abner felt helpless, he didn't want to be missed by the witch at all.

"About two weeks after Ms. Rey took the information, I designed the Punisher to discover the 'witch' Lina who was not cautious enough. Hey, the Punisher mainly relied on their own training to investigate the case. ', it's quite easy to guide them." Detective Essinger said with some pride in his tone.

He never concealed his dissatisfaction and gloating towards the Church of Storms.

Punisher? The teacher is letting the Church of the Storm take the blame again... At the same time, he also picked himself out. After all, he is the hidden stake of the Church of Knowledge in Backlund, so theoretically he would not have the guts to report to the Church of the Storm...

Abner secretly applauded the old traitor of the teacher... no, the old wit, and then asked with some expectation: "So, those two witches have been caught by the punishers?"

Detective Essinger shook his head when he heard the words, and said: "The Punishers are still as unreliable as ever... They still let the two witches escape after using the '2' sealed item. But don't worry , The Church of the Storm has notified their appearance and characteristics to the Church of Evernight and the Church of Steam, even if they come out again, they will not dare to be as unscrupulous as before, and they have no time to make trouble with you and Miss Xio."

Can this also run? Could it be that someone from the military or the royal family saved them?

Although he got the teacher's guarantee, and now Abner is sure to save his life in the hands of the mid-sequence witches, but he still feels uneasy, and for the first time, he has the idea of ​​taking the initiative to get rid of them.

...

Backlund, Queens District.

Audrey Hall sat on the hanging chair in a shady corner, looking at the blooming clumps of flowers under the sun, thinking about the matter that Fors Wall asked for help.

According to Viscount Glaint's verification, there was indeed a girl named Hugh Dilcha who was investigated by MI9's intelligence department.

The reason for investigating her was to threaten a decent gentleman by illegal means and make the other party confess to many trumped-up charges such as human trafficking.

Regarding this, Forsi's explanation was that that gentleman was not a good person. He was the gang leader in Backlund's East District. He lived on usury and sold bankrupt civilian families in the name of debt repayment.

The cause of the incident was that a certain borrower found that the interest rate was several times higher than he had expected, and he could not repay even if he went bankrupt. After negotiating with the gentleman to no avail, he found a well-known nearby "arbitrator" Hugh. . Dilcha, I hope she can persuade the other party to dispense with the unreasonable part.

That gentleman sent people to threaten Hugh Dilcha from the very beginning when he knew that he was investigating. He even had a conflict with Hugh Dilcha later. Here is the police record. But in the end, he admitted his crimes under Hugh's "judgment" and disbanded the gang.

However, MI9 launched an investigation on Xio on the grounds that there were other problems in the matter.

Viscount Glaint investigated what happened and confirmed that Fors Wall's description was true, and also confirmed that the gang leader had indeed committed many crimes.

Moreover, he also found out who was driving the investigation against Hugh Dilza behind the scenes.
