Chapter 129: Furth's Dream
Hearing the middle-aged man's cry and seeing his distorted expression, Hazel's eyes, which were originally full of anger and hatred, gradually froze, melting a little dazed and confused.
Not only her, but also Councillor Macht, Lady Liana, and Dwayne Dantès next to him were also silent, and no one spoke for a short time, and even Furth, who was hiding behind the cover, lost the excitement he had just now, and no longer had a strong sense of justice.
After ten or so seconds, Makht stopped looking at the attacker, turned his head, and said to his bodyguard:
"You leave one here, watch the scene and the prisoners, and wait for the police to come. ”
Speaking of this, he paused for a second, then turned to the personal valet:
"Reporters from several newspapers were notified to come and cover the matter. ”
After making an initial decision, the member of the House of Commons looked around and saw that many passers-by were trying to gather to see what was going on, so he looked at Dawn Dantès and smiled apologetically:
"I'm sorry, I never thought things would go through such a danger, we actually considered the actual situation of factory owners and coal mine owners, and gave some help and transition plans, who knows......"
It's one thing to make a plan, it's another thing to implement it, and when the control of air pollution has become extremely urgent and all sides are under great pressure, it is not surprising that "one size fits all" has emerged...... Klein sighed and laughed at himself:
"Don't worry too much about my feelings, I've been in more dangerous situations in the past. ”
Ostensibly talking about what happened to him when he was doing business in Sibailan in the Southern Continent, he actually recalled Megoos, who gave birth to the heir of the evil god, the terrifying meteorite that fell from the sky, Cynthia, who wanted to give Admiral Emilius a child, and the Rose School Angels and Spirit Order monsters who caused the collapse of the mountain outside Byam.
Compared to these, what happened just now was like a drizzle falling in mid-air, and there was no need to care about it at all, Klein considered the existence of Hugh, Miss "Magician" and Hazel's bodyguards, and did not even make a move, but just did the normal dodge of an experienced person.
He is focused on whether this will be followed by a "rainstorm".
Mahert sighed and nodded:
"You can see that you are very calm.
"I used to be a little skeptical of the experiences you were talking about, but now I really believe them.
"Alright, Daun, let's go back separately, and the police will take care of the rest, and if it is necessary to take a confession, they will come to your house to complete it. ”
Klein nodded and said to the Macht family:
"You pay attention to the follow-up safety. ”
Congressman Makht solemnly bowed his head and sighed again:
"This happened right after the Beckland social season kicked off...... Let's cherish the calm of the present. ”
The Beckland social season is marked by the return of the House of Lords nobles, which seems to have only started last weekend...... And this week there have been two incidents in a row, the framing of Baron Sindras and the attack on Councillor Mahert...... In the midst of the thoughts, Crane did not stop, and walked to his carriage with Richardson, the valet who was obviously a little frightened.
Sitting up and watching the scenery slowly recede outside the window, Crane exhaled silently and half-closed his eyes.
He couldn't tell if there was an extraordinary force involved in the attack, because everything was something that ordinary people could do, and the middle-aged man's reason was good enough - it didn't need to be faked, and Klein believed that there was more than one former factory owner or unemployed employee in Beckland who had a similar experience.
The only thing that struck him as problematic was why the target of the attack was Makht?
Although the member of the House of Commons is indeed a supporter and advocate of air pollution control, often giving corresponding speeches in parliament and giving interviews to newspapers from time to time, he is by no means the most eye-catching one in the process of introducing the bill, and the members of the "Kingdom Air Pollution Investigation Committee" are more likely to be selected as targets for revenge.
Crane leaned against the wall of the compartment and slowly opened his eyes, only to see that the night was dark outside the window, the clouds overlapped, and the raindrops were dripping rapidly.
Once again, he felt the whirlpool beneath the calm waters of Beckland, growing larger and more intense.
Retracting his thoughts, Klein raised his left palm slightly and touched his coat pocket.
It contained a reply from what appeared to be from Frank Lee and an unknown variety of mushrooms.
Eager to return home, Crane went above the grey mist and used his newfound mushrooms to communicate with the "Wriggling Hunger" so that he could use the seal once more - as the storm began to brew, he felt that it was necessary for him to regain his peak combat ability as soon as possible, and in this regard, "Wriggling Hunger" was essential.
It's a pity that he is still accompanied by two extraordinary bodyguards, and he has to try not to go to the gray fog recently.
I don't need protection, but I spent hundreds of pounds to invite two people who restricted my movement to come over, what a rich man's helplessness...... Crane sighed inwardly and picked up the black tea that Richardson had just made.
He took a sip, and the muscles in his face suddenly tightened a little, and then stretched out again.
Klein's gaze then looked down and saw that the black tea had twice as many lemon slices as normal.
He glanced at Richardson next to him without a trace, and saw that the personal valet looked a little dazed, as if he was still immersed in the shock caused by the attack just now.
Timid as always...... Klein commented in his heart and put the bone china teacup in his hand on the table.
............
Late at night, 39 Berlund Street, Rep. Macht's house.
Hazel sat in front of the dresser, looked at the gray mouse squatting on the powder box, and said in silence for a long time:
"Did my dad do something wrong? What he pushed was obviously a good thing......
"Nothing is good for everyone, there will always be people who are hurt, in this case, the corresponding bill or plan must be considered, remedied, helpful, if your father has done this thing, then the problem is not on him, on the contrary, it means that he is ruthless and cruel. The rat said casually.
Hazel thought carefully for a few seconds, his expression relaxed, and he said instead:
"During dinner, I noticed that there were very valuable items hidden in a cupboard in the box, but when I opened it later, I found nothing. ”
The mouse was stunned for a moment, and then thought and said:
"Perhaps it is, Dwayne Dantès's bodyguard.
"He had recently been involved in a suicide case, supposedly involving Baron Sindras, and it was normal to have some bodyguards to protect him in the shadows.
"Hmm...... The bodyguard in the cupboard may also have supernatural powers and carry magical items, so you sense it. ”
Hazel nodded slightly, accepted the explanation, and subconsciously said to herself:
"I don't know what kind of supernatural powers those bodyguards will have......"
After speaking, she glanced at the gray mouse suspiciously:
"How did you know that Dawn Dantès was involved in the trouble?"
The mouse squeaked:
"I'm in a great position right now to eavesdrop on other people's discussions. ”
As it spoke, it looked in the direction of 160 Berklund Street, its eyes flickering twice.
............
Slept in shifts, Firth felt himself wandering into an ancient and majestic palace filled with extraordinary materials and magical items, and even two vague tarot cards.
However, she couldn't take any of them, and these items were sealed by invisible forces.
Firth looked around, trying to find a way to break the seal, and at last, she saw an intricate symbol carved into the dome:
This is a symbol of the combination of "fate" and "concealment"!
Finding an item with this symbol engraved on it will open a treasure seal...... Foirth suddenly had this realization, and she woke up to find herself curled up on the carpet of the room, covered with a thin silk quilt—neither she nor Hugh dared to sleep in the easy chair, for fear of being noticed by Dawn Dantès, who often sat there.
Rubbing the corners of his forehead, Furth rolled over and sat up, seeing Hugh leaning back against the wall that "led" to the master bedroom, listening intently to the movements around him.
"I wondered if there was some secret hidden here, and I had a strange dream of exaggerated treasures and intricate symbols. Furth said with a frown as he walked over to Hugh.
As an "astrologer", she intuitively thought that there was something wrong with the dream just now!
Hugh saw that Firth's expression was very serious, suppressed his doubtful words, and thought for a moment:
"Maybe there is some secret, I once heard a proverb that belongs to the mysterious world, and it goes like this, 'When an extraordinary element is found somewhere, there must be a second one'. ”
"Not counting the butlers who can't tell if there are extraordinary powers, that Miss Hézel is the first extraordinary element, and there should be a second in her neighborhood, or rather, this neighborhood. Firth nodded slightly, and then smiled, "However, it has nothing to do with us, tomorrow evening, we will be able to get paid, end our bodyguard duties, and leave here, the most pitiful thing is always Dawn Dantès, innocent, ordinary, but having to get along with troubles and extraordinary elements." ”
Speaking of this, Firth looked at Hugh and joked:
"Quick, quick, say may the Goddess bless him.
"I'm a believer in steam and machines, and I can't do that. ”
Hugh pondered for two seconds, drew a crimson moon on his chest, and whispered reverently:
"May the Goddess bless Mr. Dawn Dantès. ”
Forth was completely freed from his sleepiness, reached out to cover his mouth, yawned, and said:
"I'll walk around the house, make rounds, and you wait a quarter of an hour before you go to sleep. ”
"Good. Hugh was noticeably more energetic than Fowls.
Furth immediately turned to the door, reached out against the wall, and was already in the hallway.
She was about to walk up the stairs when she noticed a slight movement in the room where Daune Dantès's personal valet slept.
Furth's eyes rolled slightly, cautiously leaned in, opened a "small door" in the wall, and closed his eyes over.
She then saw Richardson dancing a little crazy, with a bit of mystery.
"Spirit Dance, isn't this manservant a goddess of the night, and he secretly worships the Grim Reaper?" Firth frowned as he watched Richardson finish the Spirit Dance, and watched as the other man whispered a prayer for the Grim Reaper's protection to keep him out of danger.
When it was all over, Foirth shook his head and muttered to himself silently:
"Poor Mr. Dantès. ”
