Seeing his sister's puzzled eyes, Klein suddenly felt that this was an opportunity, he looked each other up and down a few times, and said with a serious expression:

"Melissa, you don't respect today's dinner enough. ”

"What?" said Melissa, puzzled.

Crane pointed to her neck and said:

"As a lady, you're missing a necklace that adorns here. ”

Without waiting for his sister to speak, he smiled and took out a silver amulet surrounded by angel feathers from his pocket:

"It's okay, I've got it for you. ”

"......" Melissa was stunned for a moment, and then blurted out, "How much?"

Sister, the focus of your concern is not right...... Klein complained silently and explained with a smile:

"Actually, it's not expensive, because it was only a half-finished product at first, and I carved blessing spells and beautiful patterns on the artifacts I had seen before. ”

"You carved it?" said Melissa, distracted.

"How's that, what do you think of my craft?" Klein handed the amulet to his sister.

Melissa looked at it several times, bit her lip and said:

"I love the angel feathers around. ”

If you think the spells and symbols I carved are ugly, just say it, don't hide it...... The main thing to see the amulet is the effect! The corners of Klein's mouth twitched slightly, and he was about to persuade his sister to accept it, when he saw Melissa with a "reluctant" expression, put the silver necklace around her neck, and carefully placed the amulet.

"Perfect. Klein glanced at it and praised it pompously.

Melissa glanced at him, looked down at the amulet, and said sullenly:

"Klein, you weren't like this before, ...... like this"

"Maybe it's because I have a good job and a good income, and I have become confident. Klein interrupted his sister's words and explained first.

Hey, although I received the memory fragments of the original owner, there is no problem in the big picture, but in some details, I still habitually present the real character...... Especially after getting along with Benson and Melissa became more and more natural...... He sighed to himself.

Melissa seemed to approve of his reasoning, pursed her lips and said:

"You're doing this now, it's really good......"

After the siblings chatted for a while, Benson changed his clothes and went downstairs, a white shirt, a black vest, a tuxedo, a black bow tie and crisp pants made him look new, like the kind of successful person who has his own career after years of hard work.

The hairline is also very similar...... Klein chuckled inwardly.

"It's great, Benson, you're fit to wear that. He smiled brightly.

Melissa nodded earnestly beside her.

"It turns out that clothes are more important than the person. Benson teased himself.

Klein took the opportunity to take out the remaining amulet, repeated the previous statement, and finally said:

"I made one for you too. ”

"It's not bad, I'll take it with me. Benson accepted it calmly, and quipped, "Klein, I wouldn't be surprised if you suddenly knew how to cut hair, make clothes, fix clocks, and feed curly baboons." ”

"Life is always full of surprises and surprises. Klein replied with a smile.

Next, the three siblings picked up themselves, walked out of the gate, and took a trackless public carriage to Fania Street in the North District, where Selena's house is located.

The Wood family is also a townhouse, but unlike Klein, there is a porch and a small lawn in front of the door, which is more elegant.

Pulling the doorbell, Klein, Benson and Melissa only waited for more than ten seconds to see Selena Wood, the protagonist of the day.

The girl with her long, burgundy hair happily gave Melissa a hug:

"I love your dress, it makes you look so beautiful. ”

Next to Selena was her father, Mr. Wood Sr., a long-time employee of the Tingen branch of the Beckland Bank.

"Welcome, our venerable brother, welcome, our young historian. He greeted Benson and Klein with an exaggerated gesture.

Young Historians...... Why not add the description "conscientious...... Klein sneered, took off his hat, and responded with a smile:

"Mr. Wood, you are more energetic and younger than I thought. ”

His flattering style unconsciously leans towards the big foodie empire.

Benson reached out and shook hands with Old Wood:

"I know quite a few bank employees, but they are all just as arrogant and stiff as the latest model of machine, and none of them are as personable as you. ”

"If you had met me at the bank, you probably wouldn't have commented like that. Old Wood smiled very happily.

After the greetings, Selena, who was wearing a new long dress, led the three brothers and sisters into the room with a slight jump, sometimes saying "Elizabeth has arrived" in a normal voice, and sometimes lowering her voice to Melissa "Your two brothers are more handsome than I imagined".

Hey, my hearing is good...... Although you are saying words of praise...... Klein looked helplessly at the two sixteen-year-old girls walking side by side in front of him.

It's not right, I'm still a long way from being handsome...... Hey, Miss Selena, how ugly did you think of me and Benson before? One was restrained and gloomy, unkempt, with a pale face, dull eyes, and the other with thinning hair and aging prematurely? Klein pinched his eyebrows and practiced his "vision" diligently.

Miss Selena is healthy, emotionally excited, and very happy...... Old Mr. Wood has a little problem with his lungs, yes, I see his pipe...... Crane glanced at everyone in a good mood.

"Elizabeth, Melissa is here. At this time, Selena beckoned forward in a brisk tone.

A young girl in a long blue lace dress walked over, she had long brown hair with natural curls and cute baby fat.

Crane was stunned for a moment, because he knew the girl.

In the underground trading market, he also helped the other party choose an amulet!

Elizabeth greeted Melissa first, then looked at Benson and Klein.

She froze there, her brow furrowed slightly, as if she was thinking about something.

Soon, Elizabeth smiled and greeted politely as if nothing had happened.

Crane also pretended not to recognize the other party, and was led by Old Wood to the living room sofa area, where he was introduced to Selena's brother Chris and other guests.

Watching Benson talk happily with Chris and other solicitors on the topic of Mr. Shore next door, Klein couldn't help but feel a little envious.

I don't have that kind of communication skills...... He picked up a glass of aperitifs from the corner table and listened quietly, nodding his head from time to time and laughing in unison.

It didn't take long for all the guests to arrive and the dinner officially began.

Because there were too many guests to invite, the Wood family's table could not afford it, so the dinner was held in a buffet style, with the maid serving steaks, roast chicken, fried fish, mashed potatoes and other food on different tables on a plate, while the manservant was responsible for cutting the portions to make them fit for use.

When Klein saw the elegant enamel plates and silver knives and forks, he couldn't help but think that the middle-class Wood family was too extravagant.

"If you are so rich, then why does Chris have to prepare for the wedding for a few more years?" he thought of what his sister had said in confusion, "Well, maybe it's just to accumulate such tableware that he has to prepare for a few more years, and for such a family, decency is very important!"

In the midst of his thoughts, Crane picked up a porcelain plate, went to the table, and forked a piece of roast meat coated with honey.

At this moment, Elizabeth, who had a lovely baby fat on her face, leaned over, looked at the food, and whispered:

"So you're Melissa's brother...... Thank you, Selena loved the amulet I gave and said that she felt healthy just after wearing it. ”

Selena...... Amulet...... Klein suddenly remembered the reason why the girl next to him chose the amulet in the first place:

Make a birthday present for a friend who loves the occult!

That friend is Selena?Selena likes things in the occult realm?Klein frowned slightly, and smiled politely:

"It might just be a placebo-like effect. ”

After saying this, he began to wait for the other party to praise Russell the Great.

But Elizabeth's reaction was ignorant:

"What is a placebo?"

"It's purely psychological, and sometimes, when we believe that we can get better, we really get better. Klein explained cursoryly.

"No, she said that it was different from the amulets she had bought before, and it felt different. Elizabeth emphasized.

She glanced sideways at Klein and said curiously:

"I didn't expect Melissa's brother to turn out to be an occult expert. ”

"You know, I'm a history student and I'm always exposed to things like that. Crane brushed the subject away and asked, "You're also at the Technical School in Tingen?"

"No, I used to be classmates with Selena and Melissa, and then they went to technical school, and I was at nearby Evos School. Elizabeth explained earnestly.

Public schools are not public schools, but schools for public admission, which evolved from good grammar schools to produce graduates who can go on to university, and the tuition fees are quite expensive, and the family background of the students is examined, which is difficult for even the average middle class to afford.

She didn't talk much, picked up the food and returned to Selena's side.

Congratulations on today's happy birthday to the protagonist, the dinner gradually comes to an end, Klein and Benson are invited to join the ranks of Texas Hold'em, the small blind halfpence, the big blind 1pence, while Melissa and Elizabeth, Selena and other friends go to the second floor, not sure whether to chat or play other games.

Klein was unlucky today, he played more than 20 hands, but he didn't even get a good hand, so he could only keep looking at the cards and folding, acting as a spectator.

He cocked the corner of the card again and found that it was the 2 of hearts and the 5 of spades.

"Do you want to bluff?" Klein thought for a moment, but he couldn't muster the courage to do so, and resisted the urge to cheat with divination.

He folded his cards, knocked on the table, signaled not to call, and then got up and left the long table and headed to the bathroom.

Russell is also a person with obsessive-compulsive disorder, and even found a strange reason to continue to name this kind of play Texas...... Crane shook his head as he walked forward.

At this moment, he suddenly stopped, his eyes shrinking.

His inspiration told him that there were strange fluctuations upstairs!
