Mystery: The Star Key

April 3, Monday, Aalto Festival. (Note 1)

Melodious music echoed in the streets, and the streets and alleys were full of loud and noisy but enthusiastic voices. Musicians in formal suits handing out flyers were everywhere, all concert halls had their doors open and concerts were being held 24 hours a day. Even restaurants are hosting events that interact with the festival.

Aalto Music Festival is an important festival held every year in Aalto. Musicians from all over the world will come to the city of Aalto to sway their musical dreams in Aalto for the week-long Aalto Music Festival starting April 3.

The Aalto Music Festival was suspended two years ago because of the war, but this year, after everything returned to normal, it became even more lively. Moreover, there are not only musicians living in Ruen who hold concerts in Aalto, but also countless masters of music from Feysac, Feneport, and Intis. (Note 2)

Regardless of race or religion, as long as you love music and peace, you can come to Aalto to participate in the music festival.

Aalto is the dream place of all music lovers.

"music Festival……"

Igna stared at the lively scene outside the window, and the musicians on the streets and alleys were filled with happy smiles. They can play by pulling a small stool in the open square, and the wide square is full of happy people.

Igna stood by the window until he saw a group of people dressed as circuses walking into the street. Igna's body froze for a moment, and then he closed the curtain.

But the melodious and cheerful music still squeezed in through the crack of the door and echoed in the room.

The curtains are very thin. Even if the curtains are drawn, some sunlight can slip in. Ignatius looked at the simple room, which was cramped, dark, and empty.

Igna lowered his head and looked at a briefcase leaning against the corner of the table. Inside was a blood-stained handkerchief.

The blood belongs to Wen Xiuri.

To this day, Igna does not know how Wen Xiuri escaped that day, nor why Wen Xiuri had the ability to escape, but did not kill him.

All he knew was that he had lost the trace of Wen Xiuli.

"Blood has spirituality, but the possibility of finding Wenxiuri by blood is very low." Igna's eyes darkened.

Wen Xiuri's body clearly has an air of belonging to the superior.

Even if it is not yet known who it belongs to. But that evil, weird, and terrifying aura obviously didn't belong to the righteous god. But there is too little information, and Igna has no way to accurately determine it.

But even so, Bunsuri must be found.

"You can only find people by offering a reward for their portraits."

However, this is equally difficult. The next stage of the instigator is the "witch". Wen Xiuli is a male, he has already digested the potion, and he has the aura of a superior, so there will be no problems in his next promotion.

But, in this world, how can we find a woman through a portrait of a man?

Moreover, the Loen Kingdom is so big, and no one can guarantee that Wensuri will not go to Intis, Fenepot or Feysac, and no one can even guarantee that Wensuri will be in the Northern Continent.

Igna clenched his fists and took a deep breath.

"But problems can always be solved."

Abraham is a family with a long history and testimony, maybe there is some Sealed Artifact that can solve this problem.

There was another burst of trumpet and string music from outside the window. The sound was exciting and poetic, and it seemed extremely cheerful.

Ignatius immediately recognized it as "Cancan". This is a dance music composed by Intis composer Offenbach. It is the accompaniment in the operetta "Orfeo in Hell" "created" by Emperor Roselle. Because of the cheerful atmosphere of this overture, it is often used as a Common circus repertoire. (Note 3)

Cancan is a common piece of trapeze, and it is an etude of Madeleine and Octavia.

Igna frowned. This time, he directly blocked his hearing with magic.

"If the night watchers don't come to the door a week after the Aalto Music Festival, then they should be able to go back."

When he was taken in by the Church of the Evernight Goddess, although the Nighthawk released him, he also left a tube of his blood behind. And he once swore an oath to the goddess' holy relic.

First, blood has spirituality, and if there is no other interference, it can play the role of "seeking people" or "cursing".

Igna believes that professionals will not "curse" him, but it is possible to locate his position through divination.

After all, he left Constant without reporting. And, to a certain extent, he is also that kind of post-disaster instability factor.

Second, the gaze of the Evernight Goddess is also likely to have a "positioning" effect.

Therefore, if the condition of the Nighthawk cannot be determined, Ignat rushes home and brings the crisis to Abraham.

However, the Nighthawks are very efficient. Igna estimated that if the night watchman did not come to him within two weeks, it means that he is temporarily safe.

Igna took out his pocket watch and glanced at the time, took a deep breath, and held a routine prayer ceremony every Monday afternoon.

"A fool who does not belong to this era,"

"The mysterious master above the gray fog,"

"The king of yellow and black who is in charge of good luck."

……

After the layers of gray and white fog, the familiar babble, and the blue-black aura wafting from his body, Su Yuanning came to the gray fog.

But what appeared in front of Su Yuanning was not the familiar living room, but darkness. All that was there was a silver mirror of the same height in front of him.

The side of the mirror is carved with deep and ancient patterns, each with an eye-like decoration. The gemstones are based on black, which looks deep and charming, strange and terrible. (Note 4)

Nothing was reflected on the mirror, just darkness.

Suddenly, Su Yuanning felt that the surrounding darkness became dense, and layers of water light swayed on the surface of the silver mirror.

On the mirror surface, a few lines of ancient Feysac words appeared.

"Hello. Ignatius Abraham.

"The great master above the spiritual world ordered me to pass on a message.

"He said:

……

The next handwriting became Chinese again, and the handwriting was coherent, and it could be seen that it was written by an adult.

"Yuanning, I will fall into a short sleep recently.

"It may not be possible to answer prayers, or fulfill the agreement with you to meet regularly every week. But please come here once a week. I have prepared some occult books and time-killing books for you, you can browse freely.

"Also, if there are any questions that need to be answered as soon as possible, you can ask Arrodes and he will answer them. But remember, ask Arrodes as few questions as possible.

"I also hope I can recover as soon as possible. See you on Monday."

Su Yuanning frowned and looked at the sentence on the mirror. Some doubts were answered, but some new questions appeared.

"...Arrodes?" That beautiful puppy with big ears?

"It's me." An ancient Feysac word appeared on the mirror.

Then, another sentence appeared on the mirror: "According to the principle of reciprocity, it is my turn to ask questions. If you lie or cannot answer, you will accept the task I arranged or be punished."

But this time, the words displayed on the mirror were as red as blood~www.readwn.com~ as if they were dripping.

Su Yuanning was stunned for a while, and an inexplicable cold air rose up his back. Although the mirror in front of him is called "Arrodes", it doesn't seem to be the obedient puppy, but some strange evil spirit.

The mirror surface is dense, and the words of the ancient Feysac language are reflected on it.

"Apart from self-defense, what's the number of sexual experiences you have?"

"..."

The originally condensed and strange atmosphere became very strange at this moment.
