Chapter 37: Unseen Effort
After a hearty and exquisite breakfast, Alan roughly understood what happened after he got drunk, all thanks to Charlie, who had been standing aside, after everyone was drunk, it was Laxa who ordered Charlie to send a few people here in a carriage, Alan began to guess correctly, this is indeed Laxa's mansion, two blocks away from the tavern, strictly speaking, this is also the headquarters of the Klein Chamber of Commerce, after breakfast, Charlie took Alan and others around the mansion, and everyone found out that this mansion is amazing, this is a duplex mansion, the style is not much different from other buildings in Delta Town, but it is much more magnificent, The open main entrance is facing a pure white statue, a giant dragon spreads its wings to struggle, but its body is full of chains, and there is a **** bewitching woman sitting on the back, this statue is also like the mark of the Klein Chamber of Commerce from the hands of the master, if you see it at night, you can't see it really, maybe you can really be surprised by this lifelike statue.

Secretly threw a recovery spell at himself. Dolan was already stunned by the luxurious mansion, and completely did not notice the strange gaze of the servants, you know, many of the corridors are lined with ornaments made of pure gold, and any one of them can be exchanged for a set of high-quality equipment. Crete is still a little wary, compared to Dolan who loves money and Minos, who is restrained, and Allen, who has a calm face, Crete is cautiously observing the surroundings, and there is one point that makes Crete a little uneasy, that is, since waking up in the morning, Lilia is still asleep, no matter how he calls, he will not come out, but through the soul contract, Crete knows that Lilia has not been harmed, which makes him feel a little more at ease.
After visiting the garden in the backyard, it was almost noon, Charlie prepared a sumptuous lunch for everyone, in the face of a dazzling array of delicious food, plus a morning of playing, hungry, Dolan and Minos immediately feasted, Alan suddenly thought of something, glanced at Crete, who was sitting opposite him, and found that he was also preoccupied, after the two nodded, Allen said to Charlie who was standing aside: " Thank you, sir, for your hospitality, and it stands to reason that I should not ask this question at this time, but I have not disappointed your good intentions, I just have some doubts in my heart, as you said before, all this was ordered by Miss Klein, and my friends and I would like to know what Miss Klein meant by doing so. ”
"If it's not convenient for you to say, perhaps, you can let Miss Klein say it herself," Crete said bluntly, seeing Charlie's hesitation.
"This ・・・・・ lady is working right now..."
"But you also have to eat at work, there is so much food here, let Laxa come!" Minos did not forget to be polite even if his mouth was oily when he ate, which was in stark contrast to Dolan, who had been eating and drinking with his head bored.
"Miss always does not eat until her work is completed, but you can eat as much as you want, and if you have other needs, please ask, and Miss has asked you to meet any requests. Charlie said with a smile.
"Since it's satisfying for any reason, then..." Crete became more and more uneasy, he vaguely remembered some conversations between Laxa and his own people last night, if Laxa wanted to plot evil, it would be easy to throw herself and her friends in prison, so he simply asked, "Then, take me to meet Miss Klein." ”
When Alan heard this, he thought that he was also full of questions, so it was better to go with him, so he echoed: "Yes sir, thank you for your hospitality today, and I also want to thank Miss Klein in person, please..."
Charlie listened to the words of the two and unexpectedly agreed. Alan and Crete let Dolan and Minos continue to eat, and with Charlie's lead, they made their way to Laksha's office on the top floor.
Charlie asked the two to wait at the door for a while, and pushed the door in, and the moment he pushed the door, Alan suddenly felt a strong feeling of nausea, which was for no reason, however, it dissipated with Charlie closing the door.
Alan couldn't help but cough a few times and take a few deep breaths, the air was still only a faint aroma, without a trace of rottenness.
"What's going on・・・・・ this feeling..." Alan couldn't figure out where this feeling came from, it was like an inexplicable cold war, coming without warning, and dispersing without warning, the previous two times were when he met Laxa again, but this time it wasn't, Alan originally thought that Laxa caused him this hallucination, but now it seems that it is not, because this time, there is only Charlie in front of him.
Soon, the door opened again, and Charlie led an old man with a slightly pale face but an excited face walked out, the elder was dressed as a standard nobleman, and he was holding a neat volume of documents in his hand, the specific content was unknown, but the old man was full of smiles and laughter, it must be a good thing. Charlie bowed slightly and sent the elder away, then motioned for Alan and Crete to enter the office.
The afternoon sun shines through the blurred window, casting a blurred light, Laxa is wearing only a loose shirt on her upper body, wearing glasses and writing something seriously on the paper, and her hair is tied casually behind her head, but the stack of papers on the desk shows that her work is not easy, but the results of such serious work are also significant, Charlie walked out of the office with a pile of processed documents, leaving only Allen, Crete, and Laxa in the office.
Alan and Crete sat on the sofa, quietly waiting for Laxa to write something, and Alan suddenly felt that this woman was working like two people as usual, frowning and thinking from time to time, especially serious. Alan suddenly thought of a sentence - don't be jealous of the success of others, most of them are working hard in places you can't see. Perhaps, it is no accident that the Klein Chamber of Commerce is the strongest here.
Crete looked around the office setting, a large magic circle was drawn on the central floor, slowly emitting a gentle heat, and Crete found that he did not recognize most of the symbols in this magic circle, which was very frustrating for a magician.
Seeing Laxa's work that kept her head down and silent, Alan and Crete couldn't bear to bother, and sat quietly on the sofa, waiting for Laxa to finish.
An afternoon had been spent in silence, the original bright daylight was dyed golden, and the window slanted into the office, and the magic chandelier in the room suddenly lit up, and Laxa finally finished writing all the papers. After that, standing up and stretching his waist exaggeratedly, the loose shirt sleeves slid down from the two arms, and the loose neckline revealed a large spring light, Alan and Crete saw that Laxa's work was over, stepped forward, and was just about to speak, when suddenly their faces instantly turned red to the root of their ears, and they turned their heads to look away.
Laxa was wearing only one shirt!
