As soon as the sky was dark, Crane waited for the expected doorbell, and at this time he was chopping minced pork, and had to put down his kitchen knife and apron to open the door first.

He took out the gold pounds needed by Miss "Lover" from the gray mist early, put them in his bag and put them in the closet of the bedroom on the second floor, and waited for her to find time to come and get them.

Pulling open the front door, Esther's smiling and affectionate face appeared in front of her.

"Good afternoon!" Esther lifted the bag in Klein's handle, which exuded the warm sweet smell of baked pastry.

"It's not early, it's good night, Miss Hamel." Klein quipped, pulling back to the door so that the fellow could walk in, "Why did you bring something here again, what is it this time?" ”

"I'm not polite, I'm sharing happiness, this store's almond muffin and raspberry pie have been on the "Beckland Food Encyclopedia"! I visited the store yesterday, and the taste is really sweet but not greasy, and it deserves to be a reputable food magazine. ”

Klein took the bag and placed it on the dining table, and Esther naturally followed him to the kitchen, and of course saw the sliced meat on the board:

"What are you going to do today? Pork pie? It's pork. ”

"Jajangmyeon, but strictly speaking, it's just meat sauce noodles. I made a seasoning ratio that tastes closer to the miso before, and it just so happens that you came here today and gave you a taste. Klein replied with a smile.

"Aha, it's a pity that none of us know how to ramen, so we can only use Fenerport noodles." Esther said, and after a brief wash of her hands, she consciously picked up the knife and the spare cucumber, and with a light movement in her hands, she quickly peeled a complete skin from beginning to end.

Klein noticed that Esther was wearing a layer of white gloves on her hands, which was strange while not affecting the agility of her fingers.

Crane didn't ask directly, but casually chatted: "Didn't you ask me to find information about 'Amon' and that family?" I've got a little clue......"

Although Esther was distracted, she did not pause in the movement of the knife in her hand to peel the cucumber slices: "You really found it?" There is no danger! ”

"No, I just heard from my friend that there's a mausoleum outside of Beckland, and because the Extraordinaria team went on an expedition, they all lost their news, so I thought about the danger there and reported it to the 'Mechanical Heart'. If they get the news that they can tell me, they will pay for the clues. ”

Esther's hand slowed slightly: "But how are you going to explain this clue to them?" Aren't you exposed? ”

Klein smirked at her, "Actually, after I tracked down the demon for them, they found out who I am, and I agreed to be their informant." ”

"Can this be? It's good that you don't take a risk. However, the Quaternary mausoleum in White Cliff Town is indeed quite dangerous, and it is a good thing that the official can help destroy it. ”

"Esther, I didn't say the mausoleum was in White Cliffs."

The movement of Esther's hand immediately stopped, and her heart was clear on her face: "Haha...... I'm just, I'm going to investigate, and I've found out where I am. ”

Klein scraped the minced meat foam off the board and poured them into the empty bowl with the side of a kitchen knife: "Don't be so nervous, we're all adults, and I know that there are boundaries and privacy in our interactions. I just hope you don't get too reckless, and when you want to put yourself in danger, you have to pay attention to safety, okay? ”

Esther smiled and lowered her head to hide her flushed cheeks, because she always worried her fellow and hid so many secrets from him, she was a little apologetic: "I know, thank you for your concern, it's just ......"

"We all have reasons to have to move forward, Esther," Klein put down the kitchen knife and turned to her, "but it's important to be alive, and you can't rely on your good fortune all the time. ”

Klein's unspoken words were in his eyes: there was only one star in this world.

Yes, there is only one Zhou Mingrui in this world.

Esther's smile was a little bitter: "I know, I'll try to live, and so will you!" Don't take any chances! ”

Klein silently added in his heart: This is different. He probably has two more lives left for his resurrection, but he is not sure that if something happens to Esther again, it will be the "Zoya" who will wake up.

If there really was a day, Klein didn't know what to do with "Esther".

——

After using the Fenneport Bolognese Sauce Pasta, and both of them sat lazily at the table, Esther proposed the purpose of visiting Klein today.

"You're going to take eight hundred gold pounds? Did you find any extraordinary material? "Klein's skills at playing dumb are getting better and better.

Esther smiled and flicked her fingers: "I found a gentleman and asked him to help me find someone to create a new weapon, which is a very handsome claw knife!" I feel like it's perfect for the 'Thief', a short weapon that requires speed and finger control. ”

Klein didn't seem to have seen much of this kind of thing, but nodded, "Okay, I'll go upstairs and help you get it." ”

"I'm sorry for you, I'll continue to ask you to keep the rest for me."

At the Tarot meeting before, the gold pounds that Mr. "World" gave to the "Fool" after purchasing the characteristics of the human skin shadow were also hidden by Esther to Klein's house, Crane's face was quite strange at the time, and Esther had to tell him that he had sold some materials to others in exchange.

She thought that Crane had misunderstood that she had made some illegal trade, and that she had suddenly earned so many gold pounds.

Soon, Crane returned to the drawing-room with his handbag, and he ordered an extra hundred gold pounds, although it was not clear why Esther had asked for some of the extra amount, but he would not ask.

Once asked, it will reveal that Klein also knows the transaction price, which is easy to arouse Esther's suspicions.

Although the fellow has a very casual style and always seems a little silly, Crane knows that her instincts and thinking are extremely sharp, but she is just prone to overly relax in front of him.

Klein didn't want to meet up with Esther at the Tarot meeting, at least the identity of the "Fool" couldn't be exposed to anyone. This is not just because it will be embarrassing, but more to ensure that the true identity of the "Fool" will not be discovered by anyone, the gray fog has been noticed by "Amon", in case someone else wants to do something to the "Fool" who is only in the seventh sequence in reality, Klein does not guarantee that he can withstand it in the real world.

I really can't relax in a single step.

Thinking so, Crane decided to wait for the hair of the Deep Sea Naga sacrificed by the "Hanged Man" to immediately mix potions and be promoted.

Esther took the handbag and put it at her feet, and was not in a hurry to open the point amount directly, she trusted Klein quite a lot, otherwise she would not have borrowed his place to store the gold pounds.

But it also reminded her of something: "Speaking of which, I always forget to ask you, do you have any materials for promotion?" I can go and ask you someone I know. ”

Last month, she was still a newcomer and didn't trust the Tarot Society so much, but after these few transactions, Esther felt reliable enough to dare to ask Klein's needs so reassuringly, the various circles of Tarot Society members were quite extensive, making Esther always feel that she was very dispensable, but she also mentioned a little trivial information about the East End, including the recent spread of strange new sects.

And the "world" and "fool" who was about to gather the promotion materials sighed in his heart, and on the surface he just smiled and shook his head, using one lie to cover up the other:

"No hurry, I'm still waiting for a reply from the 'Heart of the Machine'. If this exploration of the ruins is rewarding, they may be willing to trade the materials without spending so much gold and pounds. ”

"Yes, it's a pity that I don't have a clear identity, it's too dangerous to deal with official extraordinaires......" Esther picked up the teapot and filled the cup of black tea for the two of them, her eyes were a little gloomy, "I don't know what happened to them." ”

Klein certainly knew who "they" Esther was talking about.

"I hope they're all doing well...... No, they must all be fine now, and they will get better and better. ”

Many familiar and distant faces passed Klein's eyes, and he whispered, staring at a tea stalk floating on the water in his teacup.

"Is this also the prophecy of the 'soothsayer'?" The gloom in Esther's eyes swept away, and without waiting for Klein's reply, she continued with a little excitement, "But on the East End morning, I actually saw a former colleague in the church of the nearby Night Church, and he actually joined the Red Glove!" ”

Klein had no objection to her changing the subject so abruptly: "Are you letting me guess?" I want to think about it...... Could it be Leonard? ”

Esther glared at Klein rather in surprise, "You didn't cheat with divination, did you?" ”

Klein laughed: "Hahaha, then do you want to guess too?" ”

"It shouldn't be, after all, you lost so much money in playing cards before, and you didn't cheat with extraordinary abilities."

This is too heart-wrenching, if it weren't for the perfect control of his expression, Crane's smile would have been distorted: "It's just because he also has something special about him, simple reasoning, this is the professionalism of a detective." ”

"But I didn't expect Leonard to pass the Red Glove review, after all, he has an old gentleman hiding in him."

"Old gentleman?"

Esther nodded, "The fourth sequence of 'The Thief' is 'Parasite', and as its name suggests, it should be able to parasitize others. ”

"This is Leonard's 'golden finger', and he still thinks he is the protagonist of this era, haha......" Klein chuckled, and soon lowered his voice again.

"Leonard shouldn't be in any danger," Esther could see Klein's concern, "as a night watchman, he's now part of the Red Glove's elite squad, and he's always under the watchful eye of the church. If the 'parasite' had been a threat, the Templar would not have been left alone today. ”

"Will they not be aware of such a parasite?" Having experienced the crisis of the "sun" being parasitized, it is hard for Klein not to be worried.

"Maybe it's just my personal feelings, but the old gentleman doesn't look like a bad guy. He once told me a little about 'Zoya' and shared a word about fate in the 'thief' way. ”

Klein was a little dazed: "The 'thief' path also has something to do with fate?" ”

Esther's expression didn't change much, she shook the teacup, and the reddish liquid at the bottom of the cup quickly cooled in the air:

"The second sequence of 'The Thief' is the 'Trojan Horse of Fate', and since this old gentleman knows this sentence, I am afraid that he will have to be called 'him'. Leonard is at least a demigod hidden in him, and it's more likely that he is an angel. ”

Esther raised her eyes and smiled gently, "What else can we do?" Can we be sure of what will happen to Leonard if it is reported to the church? ”

Crane's eyes reflected her smile, and she also saw the indifference and sadness that could not be appealed to.

There was a "crackling" sound in the fireplace, and the sparks that popped out of it fell back into the red-hot charcoal.
