Mrs. Willis glanced at Daun Dantès's face, and smiled unconcernedly:

"Your past, your experiences in the Gulf of Desey and the Southern Continent, are more wonderful than anything I've ever seen, and make you want to have the same experience. ”

Of course, this is based on a true story, thanks to Anderson Hood, a hunter who was always running around...... Crane chuckled as he looked at the cream cake:

"Because I only said the funny parts, there were a lot of things in it that I didn't want to recall. ”

He ordered a simple sentence and began to enjoy dessert, but when Mrs. Willis and other ladies heard these words, they inexplicably remembered the name of a best-selling book: "A Man with a Story". In their eyes, Daun Dantès is like this, the surface is like a quiet lake, but in fact there is no bottom, there are many surprises and a lot of pain.

At 9:40, the dinner ended, some of the gentlemen and ladies went to the card room together, ready to play for two hours in Texas, and the remaining men walked to the living room, intending to chat for a while, which did not exclude the ladies and ladies from joining, but because there were many smokers and it was inevitable that there would be colored topics, there were no ladies involved, they either went down to the first floor, gathered around the piano, and listened to the active performers play, while singing softly, or two or three people, playing chess and having fun.

Klein chose to go to the second-floor living room, where a smaller group of people for a private chat helped him get accepted into the circle as soon as possible.

Entering the room, he surveyed the environment, went straight to the window, opened it, and pulled up a high-backed chair to sit down.

As soon as Klein finished this series of actions, he saw Portland Mormont, the host of today's dinner, holding a pipe, and laughed:

"Men always need a little bit of their own space. ”

He was an old man with a loud voice, a tall stature, and a ruddy face, about sixty years old, with fairly thick hair, but all white, and his facial features were very typical of ordinary Rune, with no characteristics.

"Yes, when the ladies are there, you have to take care of the image, take into account their feelings, I wanted to kiss it an hour ago. Hazel's father, Councillor Mahert, then took out an ornate silver metal box and twisted a cigarette out of it.

The same is true of the other men who come to the living room, magically adding pipes or cigarettes in their hands.

In the flickering firelight, wisps of smoke came out, making the room feel that yesterday's haze had not yet dissipated.

After closing his eyes and enjoying a few seconds, Portland Mormont looked sideways at the guest by the window and said:

"Daun, don't you smoke?"

Klein clenched his fist, pressed it to his mouth, and coughed lightly:

"I'm still not well, and the doctor told me not to smoke lately. ”

Frankly, he's about to choke on it right now, but he's been clever enough to pick a spot by the window.

This group of big smoking guns...... Crane flexed his right index finger and rubbed it in front of his nostrils.

He wanted to use the extraordinary ability of the "magician" to create invisible tubes of air that could be extended outwards to attract fresh air and get rid of the dangers of second-hand smoke, but considering that there might be extraordinary hidden among the men present, he sensibly gave up this idea.

When Portland Mormont heard this, he laughed and said:

"I heard Bishop Elektra say that it is not for nothing that you are sick for no reason, you lack a wife!"

The full professor himself was a believer in the "god of steam and machines", but his wife believed in the "goddess of the night", so she settled in Bercolund Street, near the church of St. Samuel, where the bishops often visited and communicated.

Is this a joke that I'm sick and still thinking about women? I really can't see that Bishop Elektra is actually a man who likes to spread rumors...... It's all the fault of the "Magic Mirror" Arodes! Klein scolded a few words, shook his head and smiled:

"I have a lot of respect for marriage and would rather be single if I don't have the right goals. ”

At this time, Mr. Willis, a senior employee of Beckland City Hall, spat out a smoke ring and said:

"Actually, I'm envious of Dawn's current singleness, which means I can pursue any type of lady. ”

He deliberately used accents on any genre, causing everyone in the living room to burst into an ambiguous laugh.

Has the news spread throughout the neighborhood that Dawn Dantès has a wide range of preferences and is not resistant to any kind of attractive woman? Klein controlled his right hand and did not subconsciously rub his forehead, only to feel that his image as a new rich man with depth, temperament, appearance and conversation has changed subtly.

At first, he suspected that it was Bishop Elektra's big mouth that said it, and then he felt that his butler Walter had asked his servants to spread it.

Because a man who has no shortcomings and is extremely attractive will always be unconsciously rejected by other people of the same sex in the circle, but when he has flaws and a topic that is ridiculed, it is easy for people to feel close.

Klein was not annoyed by this somewhat colored ridicule, and deliberately smiled bitterly quite gracefully:

That's why I chose to be difficult and single until now. ”

"Haha. Portland Mormont and the others laughed at the same time.

MP Makht then said:

"What you need is a little bit of decision-making, a good marriage, a good family, and it helps men immensely. ”

He stopped joking and earnestly admonished.

It seems that no matter what world you are in, you can't escape the fate of being urged to marry...... Crane bowed his head lightly and casually glanced at the window to enjoy the night view of Portland's Mormont garden.

Then he saw a figure of Hezel Macht, dressed in a dark green dress, walking alone into the depths of the garden, pausing and looking left and right, as if looking for something.

Wasn't this young lady playing the piano just now? Why did she suddenly go into the garden? When Crane withdrew his gaze, Hézel's back was obscured by a clump of flowers.

It is not rude for guests to leave the hall and enter the garden when attending dinner parties and dances, because it is a very stylish thing to walk under the moon and blow the night breeze with the scent of flowers, but it often also means a tryst.

No, no, none of the people who came today could really give her a "level look", although the fright she had received in the sewers before made her look less arrogant, and even occasionally depressed, but deep down, it still seemed that she looked down on ordinary people...... It doesn't make sense to deal with the negative effects of magical items, finding a lounge or going to the bathroom is better than going to the garden, it will be more hidden, and she also goes to the third floor when she has a dance party, not the garden...... Klein ruled out all kinds of impossibilities, and had a preliminary guess in his heart:

Judging by Hazel's posture of sensing or looking for something, it seems that she has noticed something unusual and is ready to go up close to observe and deal with it?

Does this mean that Professor Portland Mormont has a paranormal situation in his home?

If it's true, this professor or someone in his family is not simple...... The bishops of St. Samuel's Church often come to visit, but they don't find anything!

Well, the "thief" must have something unique in its ability to sense and observe in some aspects......

Klein had no idea of meddling in the outside world, because the problem that could be detected by Hézel would not be too dangerous, and besides, it was very close to St. Samuel's Church, so there was really no secret, and no one would want to make a big fuss, so he would be very restrained.

At this point, Congressman Macht in the living room broke free from the impact of the previous vulgar joke and looked at Portland Mormont Road:

"I heard you're leaving Beckland University?"

Professor Portland Mormont took a puff on his pipe and said:

"Yes, the Higher Education Commission wants me to be the rector of the newly formed Beckland Technical University, and while most of my wealth comes from those alloys, my best field is mechanical engineering.

"They're promising to build better labs there, to give more money, and ha, at my age, more autonomy and better helpers are really more important. ”

Mr. Willis echoed and laughed:

"And there will be one more vacancy for full professors at Beckland University, and those senior associate professors who have been waiting for more than ten years and decades will finally have another chance. ”

In the Rune system of higher education, a full professor is not only a title, but also a position, equivalent to the head of the department, so there can only be one.

Beckland Technical University ...... Crane listened with a smile and didn't speak casually on topics he didn't understand.

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

In the garden, Hazel came to a gloomy corner.

She had just noticed that the ants and other creatures on the ground were gathering abnormally, and she also felt that there was something hidden here.

It's a talent that comes from her own sequence, and she's never made a mistake before.

- She could pick out the one that contained the valuables directly from the several sealed boxes, without the need for additional assistance, and of course, she couldn't tell what it was, only that it was definitely more precious than the others.

Like Mr. Daun Dantès, there must be very valuable items on him...... Hazel curled the corners of her mouth slightly, turning her attention to the soft-looking dirt ahead.

She sensed a lot of spirituality converging below, creating an attraction to insects and ghosts.

Not the human body, some used spiritual material...... They should have been discarded separately, but they ended up buried together, creating unwanted changes...... Hazel's eyes darkened a little, and she could read the situation beneath the dirt from the undisguised spiritual characteristics and changes.

She lifted her chin slightly, and looked back at the building, believing that there was at least one supernatural person in the Portland Mormont family.

And if you don't deal with this problem in the corner of the garden, in a few days, here and several houses in the vicinity will be haunted!

Hazel withdrew her gaze, stretched out her left hand, aimed it at the dirt in front of her, and twisted her wrist with a slight squeeze.

The spirituality gathered there suddenly vanished, as if it had been stolen.
