Aurelio raised his hand in forgiveness.

Agnes tilted her head slightly and said, "Father is the main proponent of abolishing the guild system, and you are helping your father do something now, and many people will target you when they can't do anything to your father." ”

Aurelio smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, I won't be fooled by sugar-coated bombs." ”

"After all, our little Angnes has come up with such a good way for us, I can't drop the chain, can I?" Aurelio said.

Agnes didn't look at Aurelio and asked, "Will Father really adopt it?" ”

"I think my father will definitely refer to your method." Aurelio paused for a moment and said.

"This time, we will definitely succeed in abolishing the backward guild system." Aurelio said with some firmness.

Agnes turned around, nodded, and instead of continuing the topic, she said with a smile, "I don't think I have said it yet, thank you Aurelio for the gift." ”

Aurerio rubbed Agnes' head, smiled "um", and asked, "Do you want to go out for a walk in the afternoon?" ”

Agnes thought for a moment and said, "I want to go to the Izulia Institute of Biology in the afternoon, and if I still have time, I want to go to the Musicians' Guild." ”

"If you go to the Institute of Biology...... Is it not possible to bring a maid? ”

"Yes." Agnes Di

Aurelio nodded and said, "I'll be with you in the afternoon." ”

Agnes shook her head with a smile and said, "There's no need, I'm just going to ask something, you should be very busy during this time, there's no need to waste time with me." ”

Aurelio shook his head unhappily: "How is it a waste of time to accompany your sister?" I'm not like my father who can't get out of the situation at all, and since I have a way to find time, of course I want to accompany you. ”

"But......" Agnes was interrupted by Aurelio before she could say anything.

"Just give me a valid reason to be lazy! You don't even know how my father oppressed me, it's just inhuman. Aurelio looked in pain.

Agnes' words that were about to come out suddenly stopped and were replaced by words of promise.

"Okay, let's go together that afternoon."

Aurelio smiled with satisfaction and said, "Okay, I'll go find my father first." ”

Agnes nodded.

Aurelio turned and walked out, and Agnes looked at Aurelio's back without speaking, her eyes drooping slightly, leaving a little shadow.

"I feel that my father is a little too anxious, why? But it seems that the brother does not know the reason. ”

"Forget it, let's see if my father will adopt my advice, and which part of my advice will be adopted."

Agnes took out her diary she had written during this time, and took out her black diary with a rose pattern from the shelf.

"It's really troublesome to have to copy it."

......

"You wait here for a while, I should be able to come down soon." Agnes said to Aurelio.

She smiled at old Hughes with some apologies and said, "Excuse me, Mr. Hughes. ”

"Miss Spinoza, you are still so polite. Still, you can call me old Hughes. Old Hughes smiled helplessly and brought Aurelio a cup of black tea.

Agnes smiled, nodded, and turned to walk up the stairs.

......

Agnes raised her hand and knocked on the door of the room.

"Please come in." Mr. Claude's slightly hoarse voice came out.

"Captain." Agnes walked into the room.

In the room, Mr. Claude was still sitting behind his log desk, except that his turtleneck had been replaced by a striped shirt, a gray waistcoat over it, and a black trench coat hanging from the coat rack behind it.

When Mr. Claude saw Agnes, he was slightly stunned, and then asked with a smile, "Why are you here today?" I heard you only came home this morning. ”

Agnes pulled out the chair across from Mr. Claude and sat down.

"I think no matter when I come, the result should be the same. In that case, I might as well come early and implement the results. This makes it easier for me and you, Captain. ”

Mr. Claude shook his head helplessly, took a file bag from the drawer, and handed it to Agnes.

"Since the church thinks that you are not in a stable state at the moment, you are not suitable for the mission. So you have a vacation that you don't know the end time yet. Mr. Claude said.

Agnes took the bag and opened it to see that it contained the NatureHeart team's mandatory leave notice of her and the Institute's approval of the long-term leave.

"Of course, there is no pay during the vacation." Mr. Claude said.

Agnes shook her head and said, "Of course. All I want to know now is if my mission is complete? ”

Mr. Claude said, "Of course, you did kill Theodore Ressley, after all. ”

Agnes nodded and asked, "Actually, I have one more thing to do today." ”

She removed the bracelet from her left wrist and handed it to Mr. Claude.

"The gift that Aurerio gave me this morning was an extraordinary item. He said he had purchased it from a member of the Church of the God of Steam and Machines from Intis. ”

"I know that." Mr. Claude smiled and handed the bracelet back, saying, "Claude did buy it from a member of the Church of the God of Steam and Machines. ”

Agnes looked at Mr. Claude and asked, "I'm a little strange, how could a member of the Church of the God of Steam and Machines sell an extraordinary item to an ordinary person?" ”

Mr. Claude shook his head with a smirk, and said, "He didn't buy it himself, he asked the extraordinary to buy it for him." ”

Agnes thought for a moment and asked, "Is it someone from the church?" ”

It stands to reason that Mr. Claude shouldn't have known so much about the deal between the members of the Steam and the Church of the Church of the Mechanical God and his brother, even if it had passed through someone else.

Mr. Claude nodded, but did not say his name.

"Does Aurerio know?" Agnes asked.

Mr. Claude thought for a moment, shook his head, and said, "I don't know, but most likely I don't. ”

Agnes nodded and said, "Okay, I see." ”

Agnes didn't ask, she picked up her file bag and stood up.

"Wait," Mr. Claude called to Agnes, who took out another note from the drawer and handed it to Agnes, "by the way, your salary and allowance." ”

Agnes took the note, did a rough calculation, and found that it was close to 20 gold riso.

She asked a little strangely: "I haven't worked for a full month, how can I have close to two months' salary?" ”

"It's the first time I've heard someone ask that." Mr. Claude shook his head with a smile and said, "Of these, 9 gold and 6 lira are your first month's salary and allowance, and the rest is some compensation. ”

"Because of the forced leave?" Agnes asked.

"Yes." Mr. Claude nodded

Agnes received the note in the packet and said, "Okay, I see, I'll go now." ”

Agnes took a few steps, then turned around and said, "Captain, can you help relay something to Rhaenys?" Ask her to come to me at the Fenerport City Musicians Guild on Wednesday when she is on her shift, and I'll be waiting for her there. ”
