Chapter 246: Clever, but Not Useful to Me
Claire had been in Joseph's mansion for less than an hour before returning to the tulip shop.
As soon as he walked into the lounge, Shane, who was eating dessert in the lounge, looked up and asked, "How is it?" ”
Claire hesitated, still feeling that she didn't tell the other party about meeting Norris today, not that she couldn't trust Shane, but that there was a contradiction between the royal power and the church, and the less people knew about this kind of thing, the better.
So he nodded and said simply: "It's all solved, I successfully persuaded the other party." ”
Shane gave a thumbs up, "It's you, even the justices who have a close relationship with the church can convince them." ”
"Oh yes, you asked someone to write me a letter back to Reagan, and tell him that the Adventurers' Guild can start building, and the address will be in the East End."
"No problem, it will be delivered within two days."
Shane said that at this time, Claire remembered the thing that seemed to have quantum entanglement in the last transaction, took it out of the trading space and threw it to Shane on the sofa.
"No, I'll give you something good."
Shane stretched out his hands and took it in mid-air, his thumb and forefinger caught the black cone-shaped object, put it in front of him and looked at it for a few moments, and then asked suspiciously, "What is this?" ”
Claire took out another cone-shaped object from her hand and smiled, "Here, I'll show you." ”
As he spoke, he took out two pieces of paper, glued some ink to the two cone-shaped objects, and then took the cone-shaped object and wrote on the paper, while another cone-shaped object that no one controlled was also erected, and the exact same words were written on the paper simultaneously.
Shane's eyes lit up and he exclaimed, "How far can this be from here?" ”
Claire hadn't experimented yet, so she could only say truthfully: "I don't know, but the distance from Nafu City to the royal capital is definitely enough." ”
Shane grabbed the cone-shaped object and wrote and drew on the paper in front of him, and Claire let go of the cone-shaped object in her hand, and similarly, when Shane wrote, the same font appeared on this side at the same time.
"This is a bit amazing, is it something you've newly researched?" Shane asked excitedly.
Claire nodded, "Sort of." ”
"Is it costly? If it weren't high, we would be able to do the business of the army. ”
It's not that there is no long-distance communication method in the army, but it needs a magician-level mage to be able to use it, and generally only the high-level in the army can use it to transmit and give orders, and the middle and lower-level non-commissioned officers do not have such treatment.
So if Claire's cone-shaped object doesn't cost much and can transmit information over long distances, then they can definitely get a lot of money out of the military.
Unfortunately, this was traded by Claire, and after studying it for several days, she still hasn't figured out how it works.
So Claire shook her head, "It's a blind research, and it costs me a lot if I get one out of it, so forget it." ”
Hearing this, Shane could only nod regretfully, "But it's good, after having this thing, it will be more convenient for me to communicate with you in Nafu City in the future." ”
……
After leaving Claire, Joseph returned to the room where Norris was.
As soon as he entered, Joseph half-knelt down and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, I have sent him away." ”
"Get up." Norris said lightly.
Joseph said respectfully, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”
Norris's index finger tapped on the chair handle a few more times, and then asked, "What do you think of this Claire?" ”
After biting his lip and thinking for a moment, Joseph replied, "He has wisdom far beyond his age and beyond ordinary people...... In addition, courage is commendable. ”
Norris nodded and said lightly, "You're right, but you're too smart." ”
With that, Norris stood up, walked to the window, raised his head to look at the moon, and continued: "It's too smart, it's not good, in the letters I sent him before, there were many unsightly things that the church had done, I thought he was going to tear his face with the church, but you can see that what was exposed are some painless things. ”
"The churches have bowed to him, and there is not even a church or priest in Nafu now, and you see which city in the whole king can do it?"
"There is a contradiction between him and the church, but the contradiction is not so big that it is a life-and-death struggle, and I want to pull him in to fight against the church, but he is too smart to make him a pioneer to attract the attention of the church."
"Clever, but not for me."
Joseph bowed his head, carefully comprehending the meaning of his master's words.
"Then Your Majesty wants ......"
Norris waved his hand, "Kill him?" That's not it, Erin still likes this kid, and it's just that he can't be used by me for the time being, and when the conflict between him and the church becomes bigger in the future, then even if I don't let him go, he will take the initiative to find trouble with the church. ”
……
Claire remembers what Norris said when she stepped down.
But then again, he has been in the royal capital for so long, and he really hasn't looked for Erin, so Claire gave herself a day off and asked Shane to ask Erin out.
Claire called Shane over, not with Erin, not with the two of them, not to let Shane be a light bulb, but Erin will definitely be protected by the same magician-level master as last time, in case the two of them stay together, then the atmosphere is up, so do you take advantage of it, or not?
If you take advantage of the money sent to the door, what kind of man is it, but if you do, Claire guarantees that Norris will know that she has taken advantage of his baby daughter that day, and it will be over.
didn't go out to hang around, Claire took Shane and Erin to play in a property of Shane's house, in order to make each other have fun, Claire also made a deck of poker last night, and the three of them could just fight the landlord.
If you are tired of playing poker, backgammon, and Go, you will soon be able to pass the day.
"Why do you suddenly have time to play with me?" Erin hugged a doll tightly in her arms and asked, "When I asked Brother Shane to look for you before, he was very busy with you. ”
Claire touched her nose, you can't say that your dad asked me to come.
"It's been a long time since we've seen you, so I'm looking for you to have fun."
"Hmph." Erin turned her head away arrogantly, "I think you just remembered me when you were idle and bored." ”
"Can't it be that I miss you?" Claire smiled.
Erin's little face turned red all of a sudden, and she kept hammering the doll in her arms with her little fist, and said crampedly: "What are you talking nonsense about." ”
"Hey! Four twos! Shane suddenly excitedly said, "You don't have anything bigger than this!" Single-handed, three-three, so many fights I finally won! ”
This sudden shout startled Erin out of the ambiguous atmosphere, and after looking at the handful of cards in his hand, he angrily picked up the doll and gently smashed Shane several times.
"I haven't won once." This was not the main reason, the main reason was that Sean had disturbed her out of the ambiguous atmosphere.
Shane looked innocent, pointed at Claire and said, "He won so much, you should beat him." ”
"I'm ......," Erin snapped.
At this moment, the servant outside pushed the door and walked in, whispering a few words in Shane's ear, and Shane suddenly looked at Claire with a complicated expression.
Claire's face also changed slightly, and she put the poker in her hand back on the table.
The servant retreated when he had finished, and both Erin and Claire were puzzled when they saw Sean's expression.
"Shane, what's the matter?" Claire asked.
"The Pope of the Church of Light wants to see you, and you're already in the break room in the tulip shop."
