Mystery: Start with the Reader - Vol 2 Chapter 900

“My name is Luca Brewster, I am a cleric who serves the ‘God of Knowledge and Wisdom’ and is currently in charge of the church’s affairs in West Balam.

“I originally expected you to arrive at least a year after you received the invitation letter. I didn’t expect that you will become a ‘secret master’ in less than ten months.”

Wearing a plain white robe inlaid with brass filigree and neatly combed silver hair, the old gentleman Luca briefly introduced himself, then smiled and said to Abner in front of him:

“There are many copies of ‘secret arts’ prepared in this house, you can study and research here at will for a period of time, and I have also selected several quite gifted children in advance, you can learn the ‘secret arts’ Art’ to teach them to help you digest the potion as quickly as possible.

“Also, I let…”

“Wait!” Before Luka could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Abner. He raised his hand reluctantly and said with a little disappointment, “But I don’t need this… I have already digested it.” Mystery Master’s potion.”

Luka was stunned for a few seconds when he heard the words, and then he showed a bitter smile and said, “It seems that you are not early, but late…

“This is a bit far from my ‘prophecy’… Sure enough, fate is always elusive.”

After sighing, he took out two pieces of parchment from the drawer of the table, handed it to Abner, and sighed:

“In this case, there is not much I can do to help you… Only these two things may still help you.”

Abner curiously took the two parchments, picked up the top one first, and read it carefully:

“Sequence 4: The Prophet.

“Main materials: the main eye of Absol, the true soul of the mothman.

“Auxiliary materials: 200 ml of Absolu’s blood, 20 grams of mothman’s wing powder, 10 grams of bark scraps of the tree man mentor, 10 grams of freshly squeezed juice of golden grapes, 10 blue sawgrass, containing itself A notebook of breath and spirit.

“Promotion Ritual: Make an invention or discovery by yourself, display it, reveal what is unknown in it, and shock and adore it to as many people as possible. Then, before people’s shock and other emotions decay, serve Eating potions.”

The content on the first parchment is impressively the potion formula of the Prophet!

“The requirements of the ceremony are not as high as ‘the invention or discovery that shocked the world’ as the ‘Lion’ Leon said. Obviously, that person’s words are appropriately exaggerated… Of course, it may also be in its heart that the invention or discovery is already there. It should shock the world, after all, it was brought up by Roselle…”

Although the demigod formula is extremely precious, for Abner, who has already obtained the Prophet Extraordinary characteristic and can completely parse the relevant information through the “Pure White Eye”, it only saves some time and is not so important.

So Abner just murmured a few words and put it down, not as happy as Luka expected, making him frustrated again who wanted to “show off”.

Not aware of the old man’s mind like a child, Abner picked up another piece of parchment, and found that it was a list, a list that recorded many scientific research results.

“Radio and Magnetic Waves”, “The Principle of Photoelectric Effect”, “Control of Anthrax Bacteria”…

Looking at the names whose paintings were inconsistent with his own, Abner vaguely guessed, but still asked politely, “What are these for?”

Luca was refreshed when he saw the question. He first introduced the meaning of these results in turn, and then proudly said: “These are papers that I haven’t sent out yet, you can choose one at will, and then the church will find someone to operate and help You build momentum, and finally hold an academic conference to display the paper, creating a sensation in a certain circle…

“That way, you can complete the ritual relatively smoothly.”

Hearing this, Abner twitched the corners of his mouth and said subconsciously, “Isn’t this cheating? Can such a ceremony count?”

“As long as others don’t publish it first and make it known to the public, then it doesn’t matter! In fact, maybe someone else has researched similar results long ago, but it may be buried in history… So, naturally, whoever counts first, It can’t be said to be falsifying.” Luca said indifferently.

You guessed it right, this knowledge has been studied in the old days before the first era… But it is not good to plagiarize other people’s results in this way, and it does not match my own personality. People are questioned, not shocked… It will take a long time, um, at least half a year to a year of foreshadowing and operation, I am afraid it will be successful…

But Mr. Fool will be a demigod in two months, and the world will become more and more dangerous… I am the center of many conspiracies and whirlpools… Maybe I can’t wait that long…

As his thoughts turned, Abner touched his chin and asked Luca, “What was your promotion to a demigod like?”

“I…” Luka didn’t hide it, he recalled and replied in a language, “I have been teaching the generals and soldiers of the southern mainland warlords all kinds of knowledge since the ‘secret master’ stage, and when Just before the promotion, I asked the general to gather tens of thousands of soldiers, plus their families, to witness the whole process of discovering and excavating the bones of a feathered snake with my wealth of knowledge.

“Then in their shock and fear, they drank the potion and became a demigod.

“But in retrospect, the ceremony was actually quite a fluke. After all, the number of people was still too small. If I hadn’t been a respected ‘teacher’ in their eyes, they would have trusted me and even worshiped me… and Feathered Serpent was there. In the eyes of the natives, they are equivalent to gods… I am afraid I will be lost in the ‘River of Destiny’.”

“That is to say… it’s okay to discover something that everyone knows but has never discovered?” Abner asked thoughtfully, seeming to have thought of something.

“Yes, but it is different from inventing or discovering certain laws and principles. There are real objects and derivation processes, so you must show enough people your knowledge reserve, logical reasoning, and certain luck…” Luca spoke slowly and slowly replied.

“It turns out that…then the problem is not a big problem…with enough people, I can solve it myself.” Abner stood up confidently, bowed to Luca, and said sincerely, “Thank you for your answer.”

“Don’t you need those research results of mine?” Luca asked in surprise as if he had a “hunch” of something.

“It’s too slow to make scientific discoveries… I’ve thought of a better way.” Abner replied with a smile, then picked up the parchment with the recipe on it, and asked again, “The auxiliary materials on this, Do you have any ready-made here?”

Luca thought for a while, and replied calmly: “I still have some of the blood of Absol… I can sell it to you directly.

“As for the others, monsters like ‘Mothman’ are frequent in the Feysac Empire, and maybe they can be found there.

“The ‘Golden Grape’ is an Intis product, but it is monopolized by the ‘Eternal Scorching Sun Church’ and several big families, and only some of them are produced in their manor.

“‘The Bark of the Treant Mentor’ is not a valuable item, it is easy to buy in Lenburg…

“‘Blue Sawgrass’ is not very common. I also happened to buy it at an extraordinary party.”

“As for the notebook that contains your own breath and spirit, you don’t need me to provide it, right?”

After he finished speaking, he asked Abner to wait for a while, while he got up and walked to the back room.

While waiting, Abner thought in his heart: “Mothman’s Wing Powder” can ask the countess “Greed” to think of a way, her family has been rooted in Feysac for thousands of years, and it is likely to have a collection;

In the case of “golden grapes”, even if the Fanny family doesn’t have them, the Delien and Sauron families will definitely plant them, and it’s not difficult to get some freshly squeezed juice;

“The bark scraps of the Treant Mentor”, I first went to Edwina and Thales and asked, if they didn’t have any, I would ask the “God of Knowledge and Wisdom” to see… If it doesn’t work, I can only I went to Lenburg to buy it myself.

Although “Blue Sawgrass” is not common, members of the Church of the Mother Earth should be trained.

As for the notebooks… I should be able to start journaling today before it’s too late…

After he straightened his thoughts, Luca also came out with a spiritually sealed metal box and put it on the table.

After that, Abner inspected the goods and paid the money, and expressed his gratitude to Luca again, agreeing that he would come to him to study the secret operation in the future, and then turned to leave this seemingly ordinary house.

After he left, Luca moved his jaw invisibly and said to himself:

“What a terrifying young man. Just by meeting him once, my fate has been turned… The crisis that originally needed someone’s help to get through, suddenly disappeared…

“Is this crisis over, or has it changed, and I can’t ‘foresee’ it?”

On the other side, out of the gate, Abner, who boarded the carriage, looked at “Cecilia” who had been waiting here, and smiled:

“Looks like we’re going to have an exciting adventure.”

With that said, he took out a roll of parchment from his arms, which was the thank you gift from Miss Gwen “Ms. Longwei” – the map of “The Sunken Laurel” left by Roselle.

“I’m just busy with exploration and promotion arrangements. I’m afraid I don’t have the energy to participate in the Tarot Club… Well, let’s take a two-week vacation first.”

…

April 12.

In a building on the outskirts of St. Miron, the capital of Feysac, Miss “Greed” Ksenia used her own contribution to exchange “Mothman’s Wing Powder” from the family’s treasury.

After she put the materials into the metal box and sealed it, she was ready to leave the manor.

But just as she was waiting for her carriage to come, she happened to hear several children of the family whispering in the garden.

“That ‘Russell Gustav’ was awesome! Unlike previous plays, and those rough silent films, this is a real masterpiece!

“Every lady and lady’s clothes and cleaning are very elegant, and the actors’ temperament and behavior are also very good, making people suspect that nobles are invited to perform!” A girl said excitedly.

At this time, another teenager also said excitedly: “I actually like the plot better. Roselle is worthy of being the most legendary figure in the past thousand years. He is not very high, but he can make so many achievements. It’s amazing!”

Just as their discussion became more heated, a young girl came running out of breath and shouted: “Brain Films is going to release a new film again! It will premiere this weekend. It is said to be based on real events, and its name is ‘ Look for the Laurel’!”

“Really?!” Several boys and girls jumped up in surprise.

As soon as Miss Greed heard this, she saw that the carriage had stopped in front of her. She stepped into the carriage, and after she was far away from her manor, she blocked the carriage with her spirituality, and then summoned a magic wolf messenger to send the The materials obtained were handed over to it.

After doing this, recalling the conversation just heard, “Greed” Ksenia thoughtfully said:

“Is this the detective’s promotion? Well, maybe I should go to the cinema this weekend too.”

…

April 13, Trier.

Elaine, who picked a bunch of golden grapes from the Sauron family’s vineyard, squeezed it into juice and sealed it up spiritually, drove to her company in a good mood.

The success of “Russell Gustav”, as expected by Abner, led the trend in Intis, and even set off a huge wave in politics. Many people, entrepreneurs and even officials and parliamentarians They all began to reflect, and some radical ones even proposed to restore the old system of the Gustav Dynasty!

After all, Intis was really strong at that time, and even if the other three major countries joined forces, they were easily defeated.

This film evokes people’s nostalgia for that era.

Although Elaine is a member of the Sauron family, she is not uncomfortable with this, because she knows that even the old stubborn within the Sauron family, there are many people who admire or admire Roselle…

I heard that Abner has already edited the next film. I wonder if it will be more sensational than “Roselle”… After Elaine handed over the “Golden Grape Juice” to the summoned demon wolf messenger, she felt a little vague in her heart. Looking forward to the film and television company can create greater glories.

She had great confidence in Abner, after all, in the previous “Russell Gustav”, there were many details of his suggestions…and it turned out that those suggestions had excellent results.

“Sell the newspaper! Sell the newspaper! Today’s headline, a hereditary viscount worth three million gold pounds in the Loen Kingdom!” At this moment, Elaine’s thoughts were interrupted by the shouting of the newsboy. She thought about it and asked the driver to stop. Bought a copy of the Rheinische Zeitung.

“‘Hero Detective’ travels to the Sea of ​​Fury and discovers the ‘Sinking Laurel’!

“Abner Brian dedicated the treasure to Loen, and will be named ‘Viscount Beldan’.”

Putting down the newspaper, Elaine’s mouth curled slightly, and she silently said to herself: “Abner is really a big hand…

“But in this way, no one will doubt that he found the ‘laurel’, and he has successfully made things hot… The authenticity of the film will definitely be recognized… After all, everyone preconceived that this is the Live expedition records…

“Not only can you get the title, you can also complete the ceremony, and you can make a lot of money for the company…

“These millions are really worth it!”

…

April 14, Fenerport City.

Ms. Crosfia’s daughter, Miss Judy, carefully packaged the “Blue Sawgrass” she cultivated and gave it to her mother.

After Krosfia took it away, she smiled and said, “Look, Abner is about to be promoted to a demigod, and your ‘Druid’ hasn’t finished digesting yet… Do you feel stressed?”

Judy shook her head and said nonchalantly, “He is special, so I won’t compare him!”

Then, she deliberately changed the subject and asked curiously: “You were with Abner before, protecting the ‘Laurel’ he found? Tell me, was the process full of excitement?

“I watched Abner in the trailer get into danger a few times.”

Crosfia remembered the “position shot” in the undersea vortex before, and the corner of her mouth twitched, but she still said mysteriously: “You will know when you watch the movie this weekend!”

…

April 15, Lenburg.

“Lieutenant General Iceberg” Edwina rushed back here after receiving Abner’s request, bought the “tree bark fragments” that the other party needed, and took her and Abner by the way. The “Edwards-Brain Teleportation”, which has been sealed for a long time, was submitted to the “Tower of Wisdom” for review.

It is worth mentioning that the people in Lenburg, the city of knowledge and wisdom, are also talking about the new film of Brain Films, but their focus is not on the wealth of “Laurel”, but in the trailer. Shows how deep-sea vortices form.

And how Detective Abner Bryan used knowledge to get out of the vortex… They are full of curiosity and anticipation.

…

Backlund, Saturday, April 16th.

Under the secret operation of His Royal Highness Vera, Abner Brain’s acquisition of “Viscount of Beldan City” finally got the king’s approval.

As soon as this news came out, the public’s attitude towards the film “Looking for the Laurel” became even more “crazy”, eager to find out the skills of “exploration” and become the next rich man.

In this regard, Astris, who was once an adventurer, pouted and dismissed it… But he still went to the queue overnight to buy tickets for tomorrow’s premiere~www.mtlnovel.com~ After all, this is the Leia’s request.

The baby girl Torzina, who was only a few days old, spit out a mouthful of bubbles, causing the people in front of her silly brother to have diarrhea.

…

Sunday, April 17.

Loen, Feysac, Intis, Feneport, Lenburg… Even the theaters of Bayam overseas and some big cities in the southern continent opened at the same time, and countless people poured into the theater.

Among them are Abner’s friends such as Xiu, Fors, Fanny, and Edwina, as well as friends such as Thales and Mr. Azik. Even Klein walked out of the bathroom, bought a ticket, and left. Entered the only cinema on Sonja Island.

Under the watchful eyes of many people, Abner Brain discovered that the adventure of the “Laurel” had begun!

With the development of the plot, Abner in the film used knowledge and wisdom to save danger again and again, and finally deduced the location of the “laurel”, resolutely dived into the maelstrom, and finally saw the treasure, the audience was shocked, envious, and in awe. Emotions are at their peak.

In reality, Abner also drank the prepared “magic potion” at this time.

The icy potion slid down his throat, and Abner only felt that he had entered a colorless, mechanically cold world full of countless information.

That is the “absolutely rational world”, where the “River of Destiny” is located!

The eyes of pure white are automatically opened, and the “Wheel of Fortune” and “River of Fortune” complement each other…

About three or four minutes later, Abner stretched out his fingers and rubbed his swollen forehead, with surprise and joy on his face.

Surprised by the smooth progress of promotion, and joy is—

He finally initially gained divinity and became a “reader” half-human and half-god existence!
