Klein had already rehearsed Bishop Elektra's later question, and sighed when he heard this:

"It was my father, a truly wise elder who unfortunately died in an accident many years ago. ”

When he said this, he blended into the feelings of the death of his parents, the emotions accumulated by his own inability to return home in a foreign land, and the traces left by the experience in Tingen, and his tone seemed to be flat and smiling, but there was a taste of sadness but not sadness.

"I'm sorry, but he must have entered the kingdom of God and slept under the watchful eye of the goddess. Bishop Elektra said sincerely, tapping clockwise four times on his chest to draw a crimson moon.

Without waiting for Daun Dantès to respond, he looked at the other man and invited:

"The day after tomorrow, there will be a moon mass for the deceased to help them sleep into the kingdom of the goddess and get eternal peace, I wonder if you are interested in participating?"

There are not many Boxing days in the Church of the Goddess of the Night, the most important is the Winter Day, followed by the Great Mass at the full moon, also called the Moon Mass, and then the normal Mass and prayer every Sunday, however, different parishes and cathedrals will have their own special Boxing Day due to their respective patron saints or angels.

"That's exactly what I wanted. Crane stood up and saluted, and said heartily.

This allowed him to have full contact with the priests and bishops of St. Samuel's church, and even to establish a relationship with the diocesan bishop, laying the foundation for future access to certain areas of the church.

At the same time, he once again felt why the "Night" path was interchangeable with the "Death" path:

Both have the authority of tranquility, eternal sleep, darkness, etc., representing the end and the end!

Next, Maury Macht didn't talk about the identity and experience of Dawn Dantès, as if he was really just asking casually, he and his wife Liana chatted about the past years of vacation to Desey Bay, and Klein, who had made up for the relevant matters and lived there for two days, responded in a local indigenous tone, focusing on the grilled fish of Dicy's characteristics.

In the process, he also pretended to casually mention his hunting activities when he went to West Byron to do business, and seemed very familiar with the primeval jungle there.

He was making some necessary preparations for the second level of identity of Daun Dantès, and unlike West Byrant and East Byrand, the colonial power of Rune and Intis was equal, and there were often conflicts, and even the area under his actual control changed from time to time, and it was not a simple matter to find out the activities of a merchant or adventurer there, especially since Daun Dantès may also use a pseudonym.

As for the hunting experience in the primeval jungle of West Bailang, Klein did not make it up at random, nor did he copy it from any magazine or newspaper, he was based on his own glorious deeds mentioned by Anderson, the strongest hunter in the Misty Sea, extracting details, abandoning the backbone, and deducing it himself, which is both true and false.

Hearing the thick anaconda in the jungle, the man-eating toothfish, and the flowers that can catch their own prey, Leana, the wife of Councillor Makht, let out an exclamation from time to time, looking scared and eager to continue to understand, while the councillor and the bishop were equally interested, and could not help but interrupt Daun Dantès's description and ask for some details.

"You are such a good hunter! When I was serving in East Bailang, I never had a chance to go into the jungle, and I didn't expect it to be so dangerous. When the very personable middle-aged gentleman on the other side had finished, Maury Mahert picked up a small piece of velvet cake and praised sincerely, "In the future, if I have the opportunity, I would like to invite you to go hunting with me." ”

While they were talking, the maid had already brought the afternoon tea and snacks, and a male servant was waiting for them.

Hearing Councillor Macht's half-truthful invitation, Klein responded with a smile:

"I can't wait. ”

After chatting for a while, and talking about the situation of Beckland's atmospheric management, the three guests made a farewell, because they had just met, and they were not yet familiar, Klein did not stay, and took the personal servant Richardson, and sent them to the door.

Watching the bishop, councillor, and councillor's wife leave, the smile on Klein's face faded little by little, but it did not disappear completely.

He was quite satisfied with the progress he had made, Bishop Elektra was connected to the Church of the Night Goddess, which was the main purpose of his return to Beckland, Councillor Maury Mahert was a veteran, and the current councillor, no doubt belonging to one or more officers' clubs, would help him continue to investigate the Beckland Great Smog incident.

The next step is to deepen the connection little by little...... Crane returned to the small living room and saw that the maid had collected the remaining snacks and tea.

He was going to eat a little more......

- Regardless of the other foods, Rune, especially Beckland's desserts, are quite outstanding, and the chef hired by Dawn Dantès is especially good at this field, and even Madame Liana has praised it again and again, and Klein agrees with it in his heart.

Retracting his gaze, Crane didn't speak, and calmly walked to the staircase that led to the third floor.

Before dinner, Walter, the housekeeper, finally returned home and reported to him about the 10% stake in the Beckland Bicycle Company:

"Sir, we are fortunate enough that someone has hired a professional lawyer and accountant to investigate the situation of the Beckland bicycle company, and provided an offer to the seller before the advertisement was published, but in the subsequent negotiations, the buyer with a higher bid intervened, and he could not afford to continue, so he had to give up.

"That way, we don't have to wait for the investigation report and can hire the original team. ”

Klein nodded and asked unabashedly:

"What's the price now?"

"The buyer who gave up bid 6,000 pounds, the psychological bottom line is 7,000 pounds, and the other buyers, the seller did not disclose, but from all aspects of the feedback, at least 8,000 pounds. ”

8000 pounds, not bad...... Do you want to raise another hand? Wouldn't it be embarrassing if I raised the price a little bit and the other party gave up directly? Klein bowed his head lightly and said:

"You report it to me, and I'll think about it. ”

After flipping through the report and finishing dinner, in order to erect the image of a broad but shrewd doer, Klein turned his head to Richardson and said:

"Prepare the two-wheeled carriage, I'm going to go out. ”

He thought that Richardson would be surprised to ask why it was a two-wheeled carriage, which was not decent enough, but the valet only flashed a trace of doubt and replied respectfully:

"Yes, sir. ”

Obeying orders, regardless of why, is also considered an advantage...... Crane sighed to himself and waited for Richardson to come back and help him put on his coat.

After getting into the two-wheeled carriage, he directly commanded:

"Take a walk around the Beckland Bridge area and the edge of the East End. ”

Richardson still didn't ask for a purpose, but told the coachman to steer the horse carefully.

The carriage passed through the Joewood district and arrived at the Beckland Bridge area under the light of gas street lamps.

Klein didn't say where to go, just let the coachman walk around the nearby streets.

He leaned against the wall of the compartment and looked out into the street, only to see a pedestrian in old clothes, walking with a tired face, as if he had just finished a busy day, and was in a hurry to go home for dinner, and occasionally, a bicycle with a bell would pass by, rushing into the distance with agility, and the expression of the rider was more energetic than that of pedestrians, overflowing with an indescribable pride.

It is a very intuitive hierarchical division, although it is only the difference between skilled workers and ordinary workers, the difference between a weekly salary of 1~2 pounds and less than 1 pound...... Klein exhaled slowly, subconsciously looking up at the sky.

At this time, Beckland had completely entered the night, but the haze was not serious, and he could see many bright stars through the past.

After the smog incident, environmental governance is really better day by day...... However, the situation of the lower class of workers in the eastern district does not seem to have changed substantially, although it may be that the wages are higher and the working hours have been improved to a certain extent, but the former has been offset by a certain increase in prices in all aspects due to the large influx of people, and the latter has changed to a very limited extent, at most from the original 15 or 16 hours to 11 or 12 hours......

If there is really a problem, focus on solving it, and if the others do not break out, they should not be ...... Well, the kingdom is still in the process of internal reform, and many things have not been straightened out yet...... Crane watched with a wandering mind until the carriage left the Jowood district.

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

On the Future, "Admiral of the Stars" Gardelia stood behind the window of the captain's cabin, watching as Frank Lee pushed a wooden barrel into the shadows, put something into it, and then covered it firmly.

He seems to have been studying plant growth in the dark lately...... How did it suddenly become normal? Gardelia frowned in confusion, always worried that Frank Lee was brewing a big "invention".

Wait a minute, let Nina ask...... As soon as she had a thought, an inspiration struck her, and she looked back to see a letter on her desk.

Unconsciously sketching a shallow smile on her face, Gadelia walked over, opened the letter, and took a quick look:

"There are two Obnes who are not part of the Church of the Storm, near the 'Abyssal Vortex' due north of Sunia......

"Find the direct descendants of the House of Abraham......

"Well done. ”

"Abyssal Vortex" is the name of a dangerous sea, not an abyss.

Abraham's Family...... Gardelia thought for a while, but didn't find a clue, and was ready to ask at the next tarot party.

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

The next morning, Crane, who had carefully divined whether to raise the price once, said to Walter, the butler:

"Hire that team, continue to negotiate, my reserve price is £9,000. ”

"Yes, sir. Walter immediately apologized, "Something happened at home, and I wish I could have a half-day vacation in advance." ”

"No problem, do you need help?" Klein asked gently.

"Thank you for your kindness, I was able to solve it, and there is no rush in this matter, I will take care of the equity negotiation first. Walter said sincerely.

Crane didn't ask any more, nodded, and approved his vacation.

When Mr. Butler left the room, Klein turned his head to Richardson and said:

"Did Walter see anyone this morning?"

"Mr. Butler received a letter. Richardson replied without concealment.
