Mystery: Start with the Reader

"If my guess is correct, then the 'Pale Admiral' should be a special one among the five survivors...

"After all, neither Abby nor Bianca can actually control their special abilities, but Maria can transform them into controllable power with the help of 'Pale Justice'...

"This should have been prepared by Russell in advance. He is indeed related to the experiment eleven years ago!

“I just don’t know what the purpose is,

"However, the five survivors are all women... coupled with the pattern of relying on the act of 'reproduction' to inspire strength...

"Is it the influence of the 'Mother's Nest' or the 'Fallen Mother Goddess'?

"But they don't have these two aspects of pollution...

"Perhaps there is something wrong with their own origins?

"Of course, some speculations have yet to be confirmed... After all, the content decrypted by 'Amon's Monocle Lens' may not necessarily be correct."

Listening to his own voice echoing around him, Abner bent down and picked up Abby, then simulated the ability of "dream travel" and left the "City of Miracles".

However, he did not immediately leave the fantasy world in "Grossell's Travels", but found a city and put Abby into it.

After all, Abby is different from Bianca. After joining the "Celestial Sect" and becoming a believer in the Mother Tree, her hands were stained with the blood of countless innocent people. Abner did not kill her directly because he survived the experiment. Because it might still be useful, I haven't done anything yet.

And since she is paid attention to by the Mother Tree, being imprisoned in the outside world will easily attract the followers of the Mother Tree. Not only may she be rescued, but there is even a risk that it will be detrimental to Abner...

So after careful consideration, Abner decided to imprison her in "Grossell's Travels".

Once this place is secretive enough, even the Mother Tree of Desire is unlikely to see through it before the earth barrier disappears... Of course, Abby can't go out either.

Secondly, the fantasy world is close to the entrance of the "Sea of ​​Chaos", and with a little arrangement, Abby's "pain" can be suppressed; Abner plans to blend it into the "secret technique" and teach it to Abby. It can be considered a relatively complete performance.

Finally, isolating Abby, the "source of the curse," from the "Sea of ​​Chaos" can also delay the outbreak of the curse on people who have had a relationship with her.

So, when Abby woke up from her coma and opened her eyes to see a young and handsome gentleman, she expected to encounter something she was already accustomed to. After all, she had already felt her underwear being stripped off...

But just when she was about to lie down and bear it without any resistance, the other party threw her a book list, then pulled out the blackboard and started making up lessons for her...

This development left Abby confused, thinking there might be something wrong with the way she woke up.

…

Misty Sea, Ithaca.

This island, named by Emperor Russell after his great expedition captain Ithaca, was far away from shipping lanes and lacked abundant products. Therefore, it had long been turned into a private harbor for pirates and a distribution center for stolen goods.

Therefore, this island's only port town is quite lively. Adventurers, pirates, speculators, spies from various countries, prostitutes and other characters can be seen.

There are no official personnel in the town, but the security is pretty good. At least there are very few incidents of people drawing guns and shooting at each other if they disagree.

This is because the owner of the town and the controller of the private port is a mid-level Beyonder. His guards not only have guns and cannons, but also an old military airship!

"It is rumored that the dock manager is a 'Wind Blessed' and has inextricable connections with a large family in Intis...

"In addition, although his elite bodyguards of twelve people rarely show up, they are also recognized by interested people as having served on the ship of 'Vice Admiral Deep Sea'."

In a lounge of a bar in the town, a blue-haired teenager from Telland was reporting the information he had found to his captain, Miss Gwen.

Speaking of which, after several months of sailing and adventure, Gwen, Lydia and Teran finally arrived in the Sea of ​​Mist and found the treasure left by Emperor Russell - a complete ghost ship "Black Sea". "Throne"!

But because of this ship, they were coveted by many pirates, and even the squadron of "Vice Admiral Deep Sea" was attracted.

Fortunately, Emperor Russell left a powerful sealed artifact on the "Black Throne". Relying on it, Miss Gwen, as a "Weapon Master", exerted a strength close to the Sequence 5 level and truly showed her true potential. Her reputation made the title "Ms. Longwei" become louder in the Misty Sea. Even "Vice Admiral Deep Sea" recognized her strength and withdrew the squadron.

Of course, since there are also members of the Intis military among the forces fighting for the "Black Throne", it is natural that Miss Gwen will be on board with a bounty of 10,000 Felkin.

The reason why the three of them came to Ithaca was actually to track down the whereabouts of a slave ship.

Although all the countries in the Northern Continent have abolished the slave trade, the number of slave ships on the sea has never stopped. It was just at a low ebb before, but for some reason, the black market slave trade has flourished again recently.

This has nothing to do with Miss Gwen. She may have retained sympathy when she first came to the sea, but she will inevitably become numb after a long time...

Valley pout

But this time it was different, because on the ship that came from the north of the Misty Sea and mainly sold bankrupt farmers in Fusac, Miss Gwen discovered her uncle's figure.

Speaking of which, Gwen's grandfather's family has been extremely unlucky in the past six months.

First, Gwen's uncle was targeted by Mr. Panin of the Church of the God of War because of her and lost his job as a government employee. Later, he was forced by the gang to make her grandfather sell the family's hot spring hotel at a low price.

Fortunately, a countess intervened and offered a pretty good price, so Gwen's grandfather and his family made up their mind to leave Indo Port and stay away from Panin's old sphere of influence. The family moved to the west coast of the Fusac Empire. City Vyborg.

In order to avoid having nothing to do, Gwen's uncle used the funds from selling the hotel to form a trading company and started sea trade between Fusac and Intis.

But who would have thought that after a trip to sea, Uncle Gwen's ship deviated from the main route and was unlucky enough to encounter a medium-sized pirate group...

As you can imagine, not only were the goods robbed, but Uncle Gwen who was on the ship was also sold as a slave to the slave traders.

After receiving the news from her grandfather, Miss Gwen had been tracking the slave ship, and finally she found some clues.

After lamenting for a few times about the plight of her grandfather's family, Miss Gwen calmed down and asked Young Teran: "Have you found out where the batch of slaves sent to the island were transported to?"

Tran shook his head and said awkwardly: "Slaves seem to be a taboo on the island. I dare not inquire too much, otherwise I will definitely attract attention... In fact, I was not so sensitive originally, but on the star a few months ago After he intercepted a group of slaves, he became more and more secretive."

At this point, he paused and then said, "However, I heard someone else mention that only a small part of the slaves on the island will be sold to the northern continent, and the rest will be shipped to a small island to the west of the southern continent. superior.

"It is said to be the mission of 'Vice Admiral Deep Sea'..."

"Vice Admiral of the Deep"? Miss Gwen nodded thoughtfully and made up her mind.

…

Friday, March 11th.

Intis, on the outskirts of Trier, on the top floor of the Delien family castle.

Abner, who was driving Owen's clone, knocked on the door of the Prime Minister's Office and walked in after receiving permission.

The Prime Minister sitting behind the desk saw him coming in, asked him to sit down, and then said with a smile: "Owen, the annual 'Deep Sea Festival' is about to begin, you know, right?"

The so-called "Deep Sea Ceremony" is actually a ritual of sacrificing a living person to the "Segust" sea monster, which has a close relationship with the Delien family, to ensure that the latter continues to escort the merchant ships of the Delien family. Crush competitors.

Of course, this is the content of Owen's memory, but according to Abner's speculation, it should only be a superficial reason.

"Yes, a ceremony will be held on Sili Island on the west side of the southern continent on April 1st at the earliest and April 10th at the latest to help it maintain its sanity and fight against madness." Abner nodded slightly and replied cautiously.

"Originally, 'Vice Admiral Deep Sea' and I presided over every ceremony... But you also know that the political situation in Intis is unstable now, and I can't stay away, so I want you to go there on my behalf!

"Lord Al von North has always attached great importance to this matter. You must complete the task." The Prime Minister said in a serious tone.

Al von North is the "Blood Duke" of the North family, a demon family.

Abner had long wanted to take on this task. After all, the sea monster's "prophet" characteristic was his "booked" promotion material.

After thinking about the identity represented by this name, he asked thoughtfully: "I wonder what I need to pay attention to?"

The Prime Minister glanced at him appreciatively, then sealed the room with his spiritual power, and then organized his speech: "As for the sacrificial ceremony, helping the sea monster maintain its rationality is actually only a superficial effect... In fact, it is secretly allowing it to interact with someone. Get a certain contact with an existence and let that existence awaken in its body.

“So the sea monster only needed sacrifice once in ten years, but now, it has been shortened to once a year!

"Your task is actually to use an item to observe its state after the ceremony. If you find any changes, you must immediately recite Lord Alvon North's honorable name and report to Him!"

So that's it... No wonder the Delien family would deliberately collude with a sea monster!

Who do they want it to reach? "Shadow World" or "Mother Tree of Desire"?

Well, it's probably the former... If I guessed correctly, the sea monster once fused with the "Shadow World" brand that the "God of Luck" stripped off from Adabao!

Maybe it became a tool for the "Mother Tree of Desire" to seduce the "Shadow World"?

While Abner was thinking, the Prime Minister took out another telegram and handed it to him, and continued: "By the way, there is a slave ship transshipping in Ithaca that has been targeted by the newly active 'Ms. Longwei'... …

"Although 'Vice Admiral Deep Sea' can handle this matter, if you calculate the time, you should be able to catch up and capture the lady just in time.

"Haha, I heard that 'Ms. Longwei' is a beauty. As long as you can catch her, I will let you do whatever you want."
