Mystery: Start with the Reader

Latest URL: "Is this a fateful encounter?"

While whispering to himself, Abner had already quietly taken out the puppet from his shirt pocket, and was ready for battle.

And the "Vice Admiral Iceberg" beside him also held an oil lamp in his hand, and Abner glanced at it, and immediately recognized that it was the magical item that Edwina bought for 4,200 pounds at the Pirate Conference "Quiet Winter".

This item can make the hands and feet of the creatures illuminated by the light cold, and the limbs stiff until they are completely frozen. Without corresponding restraint methods, even demigods will be affected.

But to the surprise of Abner and Edwina, the male lion in the reflection of the stream jumped out into reality, and then radiated a warm light like the "sun" from its body while using all four limbs, although Uncoordinated, but absolutely not slow to run to a position five meters away.

Just when Abner subconsciously wanted to imitate the speed of the "living corpse" to pursue, the lion suddenly said: "Stop! Why do you humans always like to fight and kill? Why can't you just sit down and eat?" chat?"

Chat while eating? You lion is very elegant... I just don't know if you will eat me or I will eat you...

Abner complained in his heart, then exchanged glances with Edwina, and was about to step forward again.

But this time he didn't show hostility, but spread his hands, indicating that he didn't have a weapon in his hands.

Unexpectedly, the lion took a step back when he saw this, but fell because of uncoordinated hind legs, but this did not affect his movement away from Abner.

"Stop, don't get any closer!" the lion yelled while wriggling on its body.

"Didn't you suggest eating and chatting? How can you eat and chat without getting close?" Abner stopped and said innocently.

"Boy, you can either put that thing in your pocket away, or keep it five meters away from me... I am older than both of you combined, this little trick is useless to me!" The lion said At the same time, there was a hint of cunning and contempt on his face.

"You know?" Abner was really surprised this time, and since he was exposed, he thought about it, and simply covered the puppet's eyes again with a handkerchief.

Then, he sized up the lion in front of him intently and found its size. It looks the same as a normal lion, but its body is snow white, and its mane is of various colors, which looks a bit strange at first glance.

and,

Its head is particularly large, somewhat disproportionate to its body.

This appearance is similar to the "Finx Lion" he knew in books.

"Of course I know! Boy, do you know about 'eruditionist'? Extraordinary people of this sequence have an ability called 'analysis', which can see the strengths and weaknesses of other people's abilities... The range of your puppet's ability to manipulate the thread of the spirit body , I can understand it at a glance..." At this point, the lion snorted proudly, then looked at Edwina not far away, raised his neck and said, "The 'oil lamp' in the little girl's hand The same goes for restraint."

This tone, this demeanor, this is showing off, right? It is worthy of being a "Secret Art Instructor" material... But its "analysis" level seems to be not low. It may be able to simulate and target the ability of many channels, so it is difficult to deal with...

Abner clicked his tongue twice, but quickly thought of a countermeasure in his heart.

"You two are not bad, you didn't yell and kill when you met like those people who woke me up before, and didn't even give me a chance to speak... Do you know, I have been trapped here by that bastard for more than a hundred years, There is no one to talk to, but I feel aggrieved..." The lion ignored Abner's thoughts and started talking on his own, but in the middle of speaking,

But it suddenly let out a soft "Huh", showing a surprised expression, "You...you are all mid-sequence Beyonders of the 'Reader' pathway?"

This sentence interrupted Abner's train of thought, he exchanged glances with Edwina again, and asked cautiously, "How do you know?"

"You don't know the 'erudite communication technique', do you? For more than a hundred years, I have improved a new secret technique based on this technique, which is specially used to detect if there is an 'erudite' nearby!" The lion seemed to be very familiar, and he almost answered every question.

"Vice Admiral Iceberg" Edwina's mouth twitched, her light blue eyes, as clear as spring water, had a strong sense of curiosity, as if she wanted to ask the principle of this secret technique.

However, she also knew that now was not a good time to inquire, and she did not take any action after all, but her "hostility" towards the lion had also diminished a lot, and she was no longer ready to do anything at any time.

"How did you come up with the idea of ​​reforming such... an alternative secret technique?" Abner asked with a strange expression. At this time, he didn't have the intention to act immediately, and he deeply felt that he might be able to dig out some great inside information from the lion's mouth.

And looking at it, it seems that it has been held back for a long time, and it has a desire to talk.

"Of course it's to get out of trouble..." The lion suddenly forcibly held back the words and continued to spit out, showing a very vivid "sincere" smile, and asked instead: "I am a 'Finx' lion, Do you know what 'finks' means?"

"The word 'Finks' comes from the ancient Feysac language, and it means 'spreading secret knowledge'." Edwina replied without thinking.

Although Abner also knew the meaning of the name, since the "Vice Admiral Iceberg" as his companion spoke up, he simply remained silent and just stared at the lion's reaction.

"That's right, similar to the "Reader" Sequence 5 "Secret Art Instructor"'s role-playing rules of "collecting secret arts, creating secret arts, teaching secret arts, and making the secret arts unsecret in the end", I, as a "Fenx male Lion', there has always been a rule, that is, you will ask the person you meet a secret, if you can answer it, I will give you the reward you want!"

Having said that, the lion winked at Abner in a "wretched" way, and continued seductively, "Even if you want my brain, I will give it to you."

This...why does it feel like this lion is trying to induce me to want its brain? It's not a trap, is it? Moreover, is the role-playing rule of the "Secret Art Instructor" originally "collect the secret arts, create the secret arts, teach the secret arts, so that the secret arts will not be secreted in the end"? Casually speaking such important knowledge, this lion is worthy of the name of "Finks".

Thinking of this in his heart, Abner glanced at Edwina who was walking beside him. The latter guessed what he meant, and nodded slightly, indicating that there is no problem with the rules of the "Secret Master" that the lion said.

"But, if you remove your brain, wouldn't you die? I don't believe you would sacrifice yourself to reward others." Abner thought for a moment, deliberately showing a distrustful attitude, trying to deceive the other party .

"If I only had one brain, I wouldn't give it to you, but the extra brain is a burden! That bastard didn't know what to feed me, and made me grow an extra brain, so my head became so big Moreover, he also made a 'rule' for me, so that I can't take it out or expel it by myself..." The lion was a little anxious when he heard the words, and quickly explained a few words, but he came to his senses and changed the subject forcibly Said, "Hey, since I have an extra brain, not only is it difficult to control my emotions, but I even trip over myself when I run!"

"So it turns out that someone 'imprisoned' you in this valley and assigned you many rules... These rules can only be lifted by a 'erudite'... Am I right?" Abner said at this time Suddenly said.
