Chapter 240: "Staircase" (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

Red Rose Manor, outside a lavish room filled with all kinds of antiques.

Klein stood in the doorway, asking about the sixth maid he had encountered today.

The young maid wore a black and white maid's dress with the characteristics of the times, with a good appearance and youth, and her brown hair was a little naturally curly, with a little playfulness.

"Who does Mr. Talim come into contact with when he comes here?" Crane repeated his previous question with a numb expression.

The maid replied without a pause:

"Mr. Talim usually asks to see His Royal Highness, or to accompany him on horseback, or to discuss matters, and if His Royal Highness does not happen to be there, he will meet with the young lady, who are very good friends, and have permission from Mr. Butler. ”

Talim was very good friends with the commoner woman that Prince Edsak liked, and he would meet privately from time to time, and he should be trying to persuade the other party to leave the place, so as not to affect the prince's reputation...... Klein nodded thoughtfully:

"They, I mean, what will Mr. Talim talk about with that young lady?"

When he asked this question, Klein remembered that Talim had fallen in love some time ago, and with his rich "experience" from the information age, he inexplicably made up a bloody romance story.

The maid was not afraid of the great detective, smiled, shook her head and said:

"We're all asked out of the room at times like this. ”

This...... Crane became more and more unable to restrain himself from making associations, and even felt that it was time for Prince Edsak's top hat and helmet to be coated with a different coating.

Without waiting for him to ask again, the maid chuckled and said:

"Detective Moriarty, if you want to find out what the young lady and Mr. Talim talked about, you can go and ask her directly. ”

"The old butler didn't allow it. Crane rightly rolled out his shield against arrows.

He then smiled and said:

"You seem to know more than the previous servants, and even know how to call me Detective Moriarty. ”

The maid glanced left and right, and said with a smile:

"Because I rotate to serve that young lady, she has always wanted to meet Detective Moriarty, after all, she is friends with Mr. Talim and cares about his death.

"It's a pity that she always misses with you. ”

"Always?" Klein is very sensitive to the words "always", "just right", "missed".

The maid nodded earnestly and said:

"The first time His Royal Highness the Prince invited you to be a guest, she deliberately lost her temper and wanted to take the opportunity to go downstairs for a walk to meet you, but who knows, you left in a hurry.

After that, she offered to go to Mr. Talim's grave to lay flowers on behalf of His Royal Highness the Prince, but she couldn't find you because she didn't know what you looked like.

"And today, she happened to go to the back golf course to ride a horse, otherwise, even if Mr. Butler didn't allow it, she would have found a way to meet you. ”

What a coincidence...... Klein just sighed, and suddenly grasped a key point:

On the day of Talim's funeral, it was the commoner woman he loved who went to lay flowers in place of the prince!

And what Klein cared about the most that day was the lady with a black veil on her face and a sapphire ring on her hand, the other party was likely to have a "0" level seal, or she was a powerful existence of the same level!

Huo Ran, Klein's mind flashed back to the picture at that time:

The woman with the sapphire tail ring, dressed in a heavy black dress, accompanied by two maids, faded away......

One of the two maids had natural brown curls......

The image of the maid quickly overlapped with the maid in front of Klein, and it was very consistent!

Klein's body tensed suddenly, and the sweat of his vest dripped down, but his expression did not change in the slightest.

Using the ability of the "Joker", he made a reminiscence and asked with a smile:

"Did you follow that young lady on the day of Talim's funeral?"

The maid replied nonchalantly:

"Yes. ”

...... Damn, it's really her!Klein kept smiling:

"Good, next question. ”

As if nothing had happened, he inquired about other things step by step, and then continued with another servant.

However, Klein secretly shortened the process and sped up the process.

He's going to get out of the Red Rose Manor before the young lady returns on horseback!

At four o'clock in the afternoon, before it was dark, Crane took his leave, much earlier than expected, and returned to the city in the carriage sent by the old butler.

Sitting in the car window, with his back against the wall of the car wrapped in silk, cotton, etc., he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and had the spare energy to reflect on the whole thing:

It was Prince Edsak's beloved commoner woman who cursed Talim......

Why would she deal with a broken descendant of a nobleman to get revenge on Talim's actions to break her up and the prince?

However, she didn't need to do it herself, find an opportunity to shake this matter out on the bed, Prince Edsak had a way to make Talim disappear silently......

Talim was completely in love before he died, huh...... The first signs of this came after he succeeded in persuading the commoner woman to leave Prince Edsak...... So, the civilian woman who was brought back to the manor cursed Talim in order to eliminate the hidden danger?

It makes sense logically, but the problem is, how can a big guy with a "0" level seal or a strong person of the same level be restrained by Prince Edsak? Even if Augustus is an angel family and has enough accumulation, he has to use huge strength and special methods to imprison him, which is not something that a prince can do......

Moreover, how is it possible for such a character to look up to Talim?

Why did she keep wanting to see me? Did she notice me using the gray mist to snoop?

No, if so, I would have been buried on the day of Talim's funeral...... Also, when she first wanted to see me, I hadn't gotten my flesh, hair, or belongings, and I hadn't done any divination!

Klein thought in confusion, and finally decided to bury the problem in his heart, not to explore, not to investigate!

I hope that "Mechanical Heart" will find out that the royal family attaches unusual importance to this matter, yes, maybe they don't care about Prince Edsak's reputation, but for another reason......! After a few days, when the time was right, I handed over this task, saying that I could not do anything, and then used the excuse of going to the south for a vacation, changed my identity, and hid for a while! Klein's mood gradually calmed down.

............

Dusk in Beckland was always replaced by dim clouds and drizzle, and Crane, who was physically and mentally exhausted, pressed his half-height silk top hat in his hand, buried himself slightly, and walked quickly through the wet streets, returning to 15 Minsk Street under the light of a gas street lamp.

After a short rest, taking advantage of the dim environment, he took four backward steps and entered the gray mist.

After being promoted to Sequence 6 "Faceling", he has been trying to check if there is any change in that mysterious space, but because he was too tired last night, he couldn't wake up in the middle of the night, and he was "busy" outside during the day, so he could only wait until now.

In addition, Klein also has to eliminate distractions and divinate a thing.

That is, after this promotion, when his spirit was not stable, he did not hear "Hornachis...... Fregra ...... Hornachis ...... Fregra" this illusory whisper!

He wanted to figure out if it was a natural change in itself after ascending to Sequence 6, or if there was something else.

In the majestic palace, the long mottled bronze tables and twenty-two high-backed chairs with different symbols on their backs stand quietly, as if they have not changed forever.

The same goes for the gray fog beneath them, and the endless emptiness around them.

But as soon as Klein entered, his spiritual intuition keenly noticed that the mysterious space was a little different from what it had used to be.

He was not in a hurry to explore and try, calmed down his emotions, sat down at the top, embodied a pen and paper, and wrote a divination statement:

"The reason why I didn't hear the babble after I was promoted. ”

Holding the paper in his hand and whispering the sentence, Crane leaned back in his chair and quickly entered the dream with the help of meditation.

In the gray sky and the earth, pictures flickered, and finally froze on a scene.

It was Crane when his face and body were still covered with pale flesh, and he was surrounded by an illusory, thin, gray mist that no one else could detect.

The dream shattered, and Crane opened his eyes and roughly understood the reason:

"The gray fog intertwines with reality, helping me block out the whispers that come from nowhere......

"After being promoted to Sequence 6, I have become more connected to this mysterious space above the gray mist, so I have brought about certain changes, and I can naturally use a little power?

"For now, it should be.

"Well, try to explore the surroundings and see what changes. ”

Crane slowly got up, followed his inspiration, and walked in a direction outside the ancient palace, the gray mist spreading like the sea under his feet.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, when he wanted to stop and give up exploring, a light flashed at the end of the road.

Klein was overjoyed, quickened his pace, and moved closer to the past.

Seven or eight seconds later, he saw a staircase, a heavenly staircase!

The staircase is condensed by pure light, sacred, transparent, and pure, and can shock everyone's heart.

The staircase stretched into the void above, and there were only four floors, each of which was quite tall, as if it were intended for creatures larger than giants.

Crane looked up in its direction and saw a layer of gray-white mist, frozen in the air, as if holding something, and the Staircase of Light was still some distance from there.

Four steps mean I've finished drinking the potions of Sequence 9, Sequence 8, Sequence 7, and Sequence 6?What is on top of that layer of mist? Crane cautiously walked forward, came to the Staircase of Light, and stepped on the steps.

The steps are not eccentric, solid as if they were made of stone.

Crane climbed up the stairs to the fourth floor, then tried to look above the gray-white mist, but unfortunately, his vision couldn't penetrate it.

He thought for a moment, took two steps forward, and jumped up as hard as he could.

However, as soon as he left the Stairway of Light, he lost his upward momentum and the instinct of the spirit to fly, and fell straight down, stepping on the gray mist that was the bottom layer.

It seems that I still have to improve two or three sequences, and if sequence 4 is indeed a qualitative change, then I should be able to do it after being a demigod and a demihuman...... Klein looked up, judgmental.
