Mystery: Start with the Reader

Audrey managed to control herself in the end, and reservedly purchased only three pages of Emperor Russell's manuscript. By the way, she discussed with the young man who sold the manuscript whether tattooing Russell's words on her body would have extraordinary effects. The problem.

And the other party swore that he had already deciphered some of Emperor Roselle's special runes, tattooed three of them on his body, and obtained good abilities.

Of course, regarding this point, Audrey actually asked Mr. Fool, and Mr. Fool's answer was that unless some god suddenly became interested, those words themselves have no power.

Although she felt that the other party was bragging in her heart, she still asked tentatively out of curiosity: "What tattoos have you got on your body, and what good abilities have you gained from it?"

The young man who sold Russell's manuscript immediately rolled up his sleeves, showing three distorted "patterns", and replied excitedly:

"I'm stronger and healthier!"

Audrey silently memorized the shapes of the three symbols, and decided to ask Mr. Fool for advice in the next Tarot meeting.

At this time, Xio also left a line of text on the blackboard, which was the "spring water from the golden spring of Sonia Island" that Abner had asked to buy, one of the auxiliary materials for the Erudite Potion.

At the same time, Detective Zreal was led by a waiter to the living room on the first floor. He looked up and found a long-haired lady wearing a strange iron mask waiting here.

She looked at Zreal, who was hiding her face in the hood, and said with a smile in an obviously disguised voice: "I'll make an introduction after all the bidders have arrived."

"Yes." Detective Zreal nodded slightly, and had no objection to this.

In less than a minute, two more people were ushered into the room by the waiter, and one of them was the man with the unmasked face and the obvious blue seaweed head.

The other is a lady whose face is completely covered by the shadow of the hood, and her gender can only be seen from her proud figure.

Seeing that everyone was here, the lady wearing a strange iron mask glanced at the three people in front of her, and then said with a soft smile:

"Let me make a preliminary self-introduction first, lest you doubt my ability."

"No need, I believe Mr. A." The lady who hid her face under the hood said in a hoarse voice.

Although Zreal and the blue-haired man didn't trust Mr. A very much,

But he wasn't stupid enough to refute on the spot, so he just listened to the other party's statement quietly and didn't make a statement.

"I'm a 'Deciphering Scholar'. Half a month ago, I discovered that there was a conflict between the 'Rose School of Thought' and the 'Elemental Dawn' in a certain area... That conflict was very secretive, almost no one discovered it, but the level But it's not low... As a 'deciphering scholar', I did some research on this out of interest, and then found some clues in the dream of an ordinary person who worked in that area.

"Tulane von Hermoschuin, the greatest scientist after Emperor Roselle, mathematician, mechanic, father of the second-generation difference engine... He used to live in seclusion in that area."

The lady wearing the mask said this, took out a piece of paper with the formula written on it, showed it to the three, and continued:

"This is a page of manuscript that ordinary person saw when he was hired to clean the study. I unearthed it in her dream. I think it can prove the existence of the 'third-generation difference engine manuscript'."

As soon as she finished speaking, the blue-haired man asked solemnly, "Is Hermoschuin still living there? Is the battle between the 'Rose School of Thought' and the 'Elemental Dawn' still going on there?"

The lady in the mask glanced at him and replied in a low voice:

"Mr. Hermoschuin took advantage of the gap between the two factions to flee long ago, and most of the 'Rose School of Thought' and 'Elemental Dawn' also chased him and left Backlund. There is no power in that place right now. keep an eye on...

"In addition, I have to remind you that Mr. Hermoschuin hid the manuscript very deeply before he fled, and it is not easy to find it."

The blue-haired man sneered and asked, "Then how do I know if the 'Difference Engine' manuscript exists? After all, you were a 'swindler' before, weren't you?"

"I am now a 'classification scholar'. You have to trust the judgment of a professional. I can be sure that there is a manuscript left there... Well, regarding this point, Mr. A can notarize it." The lady wearing a mask He spread his hands and said.

"I confirm that what she said is true."

At this time, as a hoarse voice came, everyone was startled and looked back quickly, only to find that Mr. A had already sat on the sofa on the other side of the living room at some point, while none of the previous few people were there. Discover.

However, with the assurance from the strong man, both the blue-haired man and Detective Zuriel dispelled some of their suspicions, while the lady wearing the hood remained calm from the beginning to the end, and seemed to have a lot of trust in the "cryptographer" .

"Okay, since there is no doubt, let's start bidding. The reserve price is 300 pounds, and if there is a potion formula of 'Barbarian', you can get it in priority." The lady who called herself a "Secret Revealer" clapped her hands and said.

"400 pounds!" The lady in the hood offered directly.

"450!" Zuriel was naturally not to be outdone, he deliberately applied to his superiors for a special fund for this gathering, and it was approved.

"I'll offer 500 pounds!" The blue-haired man frowned. He didn't know the information was for sale until he came here, so he didn't have a lot of money to prepare. 500 pounds is almost the upper limit he can bear at present.

"I have a 'rune steel sword', which has the effect of purification and exorcism. It is the nemesis of undead creatures such as water ghosts, wraiths, and living corpses. It can be used for three years and is worth more than 500 pounds. If you are interested, I can use it It's an exchange." The lady who covered her face with a hood thought about it, opened a box at hand, and showed it.

"No, I don't need a weapon... But if I add your previous 400 pounds to this weapon, I'd be more than happy to sell it to you." The long-haired lady in a strange mask said after thinking for a moment.

Detective Zuriel's heart sank when he saw this scene, and he quickly shouted again: "1,000 pounds, I'll pay 1,000 pounds! This is worth more than the sum of that sword and 400 pounds."

The masked "Secret Scholar" lady twitched her mouth slightly when she heard the words, looked around, and saw that no one else raised the price, then nodded and said: "Deal! You can rest assured that I will not sell this information again. Mr. A notarization."

Detective Zreal paid the money with some heartache. Although it was the funding he applied for, if there was any balance, it would belong to him... It's a pity that 1,000 pounds is the upper limit of the amount he applied for.

Fortunately, he finally got that address.

But he had just received the note handed over by the lady "Deciphering Scholar", and before he could read it, he suddenly heard the blue-haired man cough violently, and within a few seconds it developed to the point where he couldn't straighten up , it seems that relying on an invisible figure behind him did not fall.

Zreal was shocked when he saw this scene, because until now, he didn't realize that there was actually another person in this room!

"How dare you play these little tricks at my party! This time it's just a warning... Now, take your secret puppet and leave this room immediately!" Mr. A looked at the blue-haired man with cold eyes, and then said with impatience Added in a suspicious tone, "Also, after today's party, you are the last one to leave! I will keep an eye on you!"

The man was shocked when he heard this, and found that his symptoms seemed to be much lighter, so he hurried out of the room in embarrassment.

"What happened?" Detective Zreal and the lady who sold the information looked at each other, both a little confused.

"He tried to 'read your mind' with that secret puppet in 'psychological invisibility', but I interrupted it." Mr. A explained with a smile.

Detective Zreal felt a chill in his heart, and decided not to wait for the party to end, but to go home right away while the man was shocked by Mr. A just now.

Before he walked out of the living room, he found that the lady whose face was covered by the hood had no intention of leaving. It appears there are other deals to close.

Mr. A glanced at them, and then returned to the trading floor.

After everyone left, Ms. "Deciphering Scholar" said to the lady whose face was covered by a hood in a coquettish tone: "There is no 'barbarian' this time, the formula of your sequence is really hard to get." .”

"Then what can I do? Fortunately, I made a lot of money this time... To be honest, you are really brave. I was frightened by your arbitrarily raising the price before... Fortunately, someone is willing to offer 1,000 pounds..."

"Hey, as a 'Secret Revealer', my observation, intuition, and speculation abilities have all improved a lot. Even without extraordinary abilities, I can still guess where that person's bottom line is."

...

After Detective Zreal left the living room, he found Irene and asked her if she wanted to leave with him, but the other party was obviously not happy.

Detective Zreal didn't bother to pay attention to this, and even felt that he could avoid being followed by one less burden. He glanced at the blue-haired man who was staring at him unkindly, and walked out of the house without looking back.

And when Irene saw that Mr. A was sitting back on the sofa, and no one else needed him for "notarization", she walked over with a little excitement, and asked in a reserved manner: "Sir, can I know you?" for a while?"

Mr. A swept across Irene's face, smiled lowly and said, "Okay."

...

After the party, Xio and Fors first protected Audrey and Viscount Slylint back to the ball at the viscount's house together, and then parted ways.

——Xiu also wanted to send the purchased "spring water from the golden spring of Sonia Island" to Abner.

Arriving at the garden villa in Jowood District, before Xio had time to take out the "spring water", she heard Abner smile and say to her:

"Hugh, the 'Flash-patterned Black Snake's Horn' you need is already available.

"In addition to the 'dust of the spirit of the lake' you got earlier...

"You will soon be an 'Interrogator'!"
