Chapter 165: "Meeting the Parents"
Near noon, Crane put down the scissors in his house on Minsk Street, looked at the three rough paper figures in front of him, and sighed:
"This is probably the first time in my life that I have done manual work so seriously......"
Putting away a few ugly paper figures, he heard the sound of prayers.
After arranging the ceremony, he responded to himself, and after ascending the gray mist, he found that it was Mr. Power who requested the sacrifice ceremony and completed the magical items prepared for the "world".
After some response, Crane got the dark red classic men's gloves.
Through divination, Crane confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the "instructions for use" attached to Mr. Strength, and simulated the feeling of falling, and returned to reality with gloves.
Putting a glove on his left hand, Crane was pleased with the shape of the glove.
As for the practical use, it can only be used for simple experiments in the room, but with the ability to manipulate flames, coupled with the ability of "Flame Jump" possessed by the "magician", the ability to save life has been further strengthened, and the ability to control the flames is compressed and released in the form of fireballs and rockets, and the destructive power has also been strengthened.
Although the "magician" is very strong, his ability is more focused on saving his life, escaping, and adapting to the environment, and his strongest attack method is only equivalent to a special revolver.
This glove strengthens the fire jump, and also provides a powerful fire attack ability and greater destructive power, much to Crane's satisfaction.
The ability to "manipulate flames" provided by the "magician" is, first, the control range is relatively small, with a radius of only thirty meters, and second, even if the potion is completely digested or the sequence is promoted, it can only "summon" the flame stream out of thin air, rather than directly generating more powerful flames that can exist stably for a long time like the "arsonist".
In this comparison, for "controlling fire", "arsonist" is far stronger than "magician".
As for the negative effect, Crane thinks it is acceptable, and the use of this glove must also be a response to the enemy, since he is already an enemy, "provocation" and "taunt" are also conventional means.
Crane, who was inspecting the dark red glove, suddenly heard the doorbell ring, and there was a pleasant tinkling sound.
Roman was about to go to Miss Anne's workshop, and to thank and congratulate her in person, when he saw Lady Cessina float out again, and in a soft tone, she said:
"And your letter."
Miss Courier has a busy day with business......
Roman thanked him as he opened the letter.
Arya sent it at the "White Rum Street Children's Special Care Center", Roman has not been back for several days, and she can only contact Roman by messenger.
Her teacher, a lecturer in history at the University of Tingen, went under the pseudonym Hilde. Tammy Abraham of Downton, who had arrived at Beckland the day before yesterday, offered to meet Roman. Thank him in person for taking care of Arya.
Looking at this choice of words and sentences, it doesn't look like Arya's usual style, I'm afraid it was written in front of her teacher, what is the strong meaning of "meeting parents" in her tone......
Roman didn't choose to teleport directly to Arya's room, but returned to his own room in the school, and Roman wanted to put the "travel staff" away for the time being, so that the Mr. Downton would not have any other thoughts when he saw the cane in Roman's hand.
But after thinking about it, it's not a secret that you know about "Abraham", and it may not be bad to show the background properly.
Sometimes, deterrence is more useful than combat.
Nearly fully armed, Roman went downstairs outside Arya's room and knocked on her door.
Of course, the meeting place was not in the school, and for safety reasons, I chose a hotel in the bridge district.
Not surprised by Roman's outfit, and after asking for the exact location of the hotel, Roman motioned for Arya to grab his arm, triggering the teleportation.
For Bakerlandry, especially the Eastside, Beckland Bridge area, and Joe Wood area, Roman has traveled almost every road, teleporting directly to the right place when needed.
Roman, who looked as usual, and Arya, who was slightly nervous, arrived at the agreed hotel and knocked on the door of a suite.
"Teacher." Arya reverted to her previous soft and glutinous tone, which was completely different from Arya's teacher in the school.
Roman, who was feeling that only at this time he could see that Arya still wanted a child, saw that the door of the room was open, and there was a gentleman with thick hair but a little gray standing inside, who was looking at Roman with scrutinizing eyes.
After a few seconds, he spoke:
"You're here, come in first."
The tone is flat and magnetic.
Entering the room, Roman took a closer look at the old gentleman in front of him, his hair was gray, the corners of his eyes were wrinkled, but he was in good spirits, his facial features were soft, and he wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses.
Roman, who was not used to Rune's normal socialization, waited for the elder to speak first.
Then I heard the Mr. Downton speak:
"Mr. Roman, thank you for taking care of Arya lately, and for causing you trouble during this time."
Roman also followed suit:
"No, Arya has helped me a lot in school, she is very good at grammar, arithmetic, and even history and literature, and without her, I might have hired several teachers to teach the children."
On the surface, he praised Arya, but in fact he also praised Teacher Eliad, and Mr. Downton naturally understood the praise that was written in a little non-Ruen, and his expression softened, and he said:
"Mr. Roman......" he said, noticing the cane in Roman's hand......
"...... this?"
Roman looked at Mr. Downton, and at Arya, and said:
"That's right, let Arya tell you about the specific story."
Roman always can't say that this is a gift from the Lord of the Storm, most of the previous encounters with the "Desperate Traveler" Roman has described to Arya, and Arya has not told her teacher without Roman's consent before.
Now, at Roman's suggestion, Arya began to tell the story of Roman's experiences on the sea.
Hearing Roman's suspicion of being the "Sweeper" of the Storm Lord, Mr. Downton was immediately startled and wanted to stand up, but looking at Roman who chose to see him instead of directly reporting to the church to arrest him, Mr. Downton still controlled his emotions and did not take any drastic actions.
After a while, Hilde, who calmed down. Downton thanked Roman again, thanking him for his rescue and help to Arya, this time much more serious than before.
Roman didn't feel anything, and tried to soften his tone, and began to speak with Mr. Downton.
Not to mention that he is Arya's teacher, Roman is not a real member of the church after all, and for wild extraordinary, as long as he does not do evil, Roman generally does not choose to report and expose.
In the circle of bounty hunters in the East End, Roman met several extraordinary, and suspected extraordinary, and everyone also tacitly agreed and cooperated with each other.
Strictly speaking, Roman himself is also wild, so he can understand their mood very well, and it also makes Roman have a lot of friendship with them.
After chatting for a while, Roman returned the manuscript and returned it to its original owner.
Looking at the lost manuscript notes in his hand, Hilde. Mr. Downton thought for a moment, as if he had made up his mind, and said with a somewhat serious expression:
"Mr. Roman, there may be something I want your help with."
