After disposing of the mutant glass bottle, Crane took out his gold-shelled pocket watch, pressed it open, and glanced at it, remembering the current time.

He had to return here in three hours and separate the "Darkless Cross" from the "Vial of Servitude", so that he could get the extraordinary traits of a single "Manipulator", rather than a product of all the previous sequences.

"It's like I'm experimenting......" Klein nodded slightly, put away his pocket watch, and returned to the real world to really start his lunch break.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the valet Enyuni, under the watchful eye of Walter, the butler, knocked on the door of his employer's room.

"What's the matter?" said Dawn Dantès, rubbing his forehead in his pajamas, as he opened the bedroom door.

Nyuni bowed and said:

"Sir, you accepted Lady Liana's invitation for afternoon tea the night before, just today. ”

"Okay, give me a quarter of an hour to prepare. Klein looked at Walter, the butler.

Then he commanded Enyouni, his valet:

"You come in and help me change my clothes. ”

When only he and his secret puppet were left in the room, Crane manipulated the latter to bring clothes suitable for afternoon tea, while occasionally aiming at the wall clock on the wall.

After about ten minutes, with his bow tie and coat on, he walked four steps backwards in place to the gray mist.

At this point, exactly three hours had passed since he had last entered.

At the top of the bronze table, the mutated glass bottle that had been firmly pressed together by the power of the gray mist had lost its original glimmering feeling of being covered with a grid, and seemed to have suddenly changed from a work of art to a common daily necessities on the street.

The bottom of the glass vial was a great deal of gray and white, and they flowed like a life force on their own, forming a heart-like thing the size of a child's fist, with many folds on it, but also cracked one eye-like slit after another, and as for the intricate, three-dimensional patterns, logos, and symbols that reached into the void, they were almost the same as those that Klein had seen when he had obtained the extraordinary properties of Herwin Lambis.

Just a slight difference...... Crane let go of the gray mist's suppression and took the "Darkless Cross" out of the bottle.

With such a step, the precipitated item is completely separated from the mutated glass bottle, becoming complete and independent.

Crane reached out in his left hand and picked up the brain-like object, looked at it for a few seconds, and dropped it into the clutter pile, shrouded in gray mist.

At this time, inside the mutated glass bottle, the voice sounded again, but it was quite weak:

"You, this, the devil ......"

Crane didn't respond, and inserted the "Darkless Cross" in his right hand back, relying on the power of the gray mist to hold it down.

As a result, the old palace was restored to its tranquility.

Back in the real world, Crane put on his top hat and cane and rode out of 160 Berklund Street in a carriage to Congressman Mahert's residence, 39 on the same block.

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

In the elegantly furnished living room of Congressman Mahert's house, several guests sit around a delicate three-tiered tray, each with a cup of black tea in front of them.

Klein took a gherkin sandwich, took a bite, and half-jokingly half-stated his true feelings:

"Today's desserts seem to be all chic, whether it's carrot cake or cream muffins. ”

Hearing this, Congressman Makht laughed and said:

"Daun, you're really observant. ”

This has nothing to do with observation, as long as the eyes are not blind, you can see it, and it is strange...... Klein said after sneering in his heart:

"Sounds like a good thing. ”

"Of course, this is made by Hazel herself, you can try it later, although she can't effectively control the appearance, but it tastes really good. Congressman Makht said with a little ostentation.

On the other side, Portland Mormonton, president of Beckland Technical University, laughed:

"It's not quite like the Hazel I know. ”

Councillor Makht glanced at Mrs. Liana and said with satisfaction:

"Everybody grows, doesn't it?

"Hazel has really matured lately, and not only is she willing to study the lessons that she used to exclude, which she prepared for social and marriage, and occasionally make snacks and play a piece of music for us, but she also often takes the initiative to accompany her mother to concerts, horse races, department stores, and various salons and banquets. ”

According to Miss "Justice", Hazel's treatment process has reached a stage where she can recall the great shock and pain she suffered, although it was only an intuitive emotional feeling, and it did not involve specific events, but it was enough to make Hazel dream from time to time that she had lost her parents and most of her relatives...... This made her unconsciously begin to cherish her family, and for this reason, she changed herself to a certain extent?Klein nodded thoughtfully and smiled:

"That's a good thing. ”

"Yes. "I used to be worried about Hazel's character, that she would not be able to get a good marriage, that she would not be able to socialize with the people in this circle, and that after our death, when she was in trouble, she could not find anyone to help, but now I am finally relieved." ”

Congressman Makht smiled heartily and rarely revealed his past concerns,

He then raised his arm, waved it lightly, and said very heroically:

"Why should I be the enemy of the damn smog and pollution, why should we fight for colonial interests with Fersack in East Bailang and Intis in West Bailang, just so that our descendants can live better and have fewer troubles?

"The maturity of Hazel means more to me than the exploits he made in East Byrand, the struggle in the House of Commons. ”

Klein listened quietly to Congressman Macht's remarks, and couldn't help but look sideways out the window.

It was cloudy outside, and the sun was nowhere to be seen.

At this point, Portland Mormont half-jokingly responded to Congressman Macht:

"No, those things are also for the betterment of ourselves. ”

Speaking of which, he looked at Klein and said:

"Dwayne, have you thought about it? Do you want to invest in my mechanical lab?"

Klein laughed and said:

"Mr. Headmaster, why are you still so eager as a young man?

"I have gone through the information you gave, and I have a general impression of what kind of rights and income can be obtained from investment, frankly speaking, I am very interested, and I am very satisfied that this mechanical laboratory can allow talented young people to get exercise, this is the most important place to invest, what is the most valuable in the current era?

Russell the Great said this. Portland Mormont laughed, "So, how much are you going to invest?"

Klein picked up the bone china teacup and took a sip of black tea:

"The initial plan is £10,000. ”

"As the richest man in Beckland lately, I can't even guess how many assets you have, first donated shares worth 10,000 thousand pounds, then spent 20,000 gold pounds to buy Rose Song Manor, and now you want to invest a full 10,000 pound......s in Portland's mechanical laboratory," Lady Liana next to her couldn't help but admire.

Portland Mormont gave a thumbs up:

"That's what makes a real discerning investor. ”

Klein smiled and said:

"But I'm still going to get a team of lawyers and accountants to verify the situation and draft the terms, and the professional things have to be done by professionals, and I also have to think about whether to invest directly, or to set up a company or a fund first, and do it through it, well, Portland, I think you have a place where you don't think about it enough, and there is no protection for such an important laboratory! Aren't you afraid of commercial espionage or foreign infiltration and sabotage?"

Portland Mormont was stunned for a moment, then nodded slowly:

"Makes sense...... I've ignored this issue a bit before. ”

Having achieved his goal, Klein no longer dwelled on the topic, but deliberately asked:

"Isn't there any news from Major General Chunas Korg yet?"

Councillor Mahert sighed and said:

"No, the West Villas field said that the Rose Song Manor and the surrounding area have been searched, and there is not even a clue. ”

As he spoke, the member of the House of Commons lowered his voice:

"I suspect that the Major General had an accident during a secret mission, and the atmosphere has been a little strange lately......"

In a sense, you're right...... Klein sighed and said:

"Hopefully nothing really happens. ”

After the afternoon tea, Crane seized the time, went to the bathroom, and put the extraordinary properties of the "Dream Walker" precipitated from the mutated bottle into the clutter pile.

By the time he returned to 160 Berlund Street at the end of the party, it was really dark, the gas lamps on both sides of the road had been lit in advance, and a drizzle of rain was beating on the windows.

"Now all the questions are focused on what exactly is hidden in the relics of the 'Blood Emperor', as long as the three major churches can detect the problem in time, they can prevent many things from breaking out. Crane looked out the window at the rain-dimmer lights and thought about the recent situation, "In a short period of time, unless I can catch Katarina, I won't be able to help much, and the goddess is digesting or grasping the uniqueness of the 'Grim Reaper', and may not be able to respond at that level."

"If you want to solve this problem, you can either transfer targeted '0' level seals from the Templar, or rely on the Storm or Steam Church to see which of the two true gods will respond...... '0' level seals may not be possible, after all, it involves the king of angels, and within the two churches, it is likely that there are internal traitors......"

Not far from 39 to 160 Berklund Street, Klein had already returned to his house before he could clear his thoughts, and had to step out of the carriage.

As he went to the third floor to change his clothes, he was inspired to see Renette Tinnicol walking out of the void with four blonde red-eyed heads.

"Sharon's?" Crane guessed, reaching out to take the letter.

"Yes......" Renette Tinicol replied with one of her heads open.

Klein didn't say anything more, opened the envelope, unfolded the paper, and saw only one line of words on it:

"Tonight at 10 o'clock. ”
