Chapter 10 At night

Late at night, Klein had just walked out of the bathroom in the corner of the hall when he saw a figure standing in a dark corner.

Out of a reasonable portrayal of "Dawn", Klein looked taken aback, which made the man in the shadows smile slightly apologetically: "Sorry, my wife is asleep, I'm just out for a while." ”

"I didn't expect to meet anyone else, it's all this time, most of them are resting." Klein responded politely.

Dunn stepped out of the shadows, revealing a slightly higher hairline and a pipe in his mouth, and Dunn removed the pipe that wasn't on fire: "She doesn't like to see me smoking, and she doesn't let the airship light it at will, but I think it helps to think about it." ”

Crane saw the ring on Dunn's right hand when he took off his pipe, showed a polite and gentle smile, and echoed, "I can understand that this kind of little habit can help people concentrate more quickly, and they can quickly organize their thoughts." When you can't sleep late at night, it can also help people calm down better. ”

Dunn's scrutinizing gaze swept over Daun's eyes, equally quiet and deep, but Daun's smile was very sincere, and Dunn wasn't sure if it was a disguise: "I think I've heard your name, Mr. Daun Dantès, right?" ”

I didn't know that I was already so famous, how could you even remember the captain, could it be that marriage still has the effect of enhancing people's memory?

Klein muttered in his heart, even wondering if Leonard had caught Dunn's attention when he was tracking down his identity.

But on the surface, Klein replied with a little surprise, "Yes, I don't seem to have met you, but I didn't expect you to know me." ”

Dunn shifted the pipe to his left hand and pointed out the shape of the Crimson Moon in his heart with his right hand: "I have heard of your devotion to the faith, Bishop Elektra, who is in charge of the church of St. Samuel, once mentioned you to me, and he thinks that you are a generous and sincere believer, and that the church has received a lot of kindness from you. ”

The corners of Klein's mouth curled slightly: "In my opinion, this is nothing, but I did my best to do a little bit." I am willing to donate, more because I can find peace in the church of the goddess, which is something that is difficult to measure in terms of money. ”

Of course, I also got the potion recipe of the "Sorcerer", so this kind of thing doesn't need to be said.

With that, Crane also used his right hand to draw the symbol of the Crimson Moon on his chest.

This softened Dunn's scrutinizing gaze, "Regardless, you've made a donation to the church, and I'm glad to know that others have found peace of mind from the Goddess's church. I have heard about the 'Rune Charitable Scholarship Fund' that you have invested in, which is in line with the Church's consistent teachings and is a genuine willingness to put into practice. ”

Although Klein's smile remained unchanged on the surface, he was a little embarrassed inside, and hearing the "former captain" he once respected say this made him feel a little uneasy about his breakthrough into Chanisman.

But if he had to do it all over again, Crane would still do it, he had no other choice, the real treasure of the Hornachis Mountains was an even more deadly trap, and if Crane had to find out where that misty town was, he wouldn't even have much confidence that he would be able to get close to that church.

Is it good luck to be blessed in disguise......

Crane nodded at Dunn, "I just want to do something for kids who are hungry for knowledge but suffer from poverty. 'Knowledge changes destiny', this is something I have seen with my own eyes, including myself. ”

Dunn looked at him thoughtfully, "It's nice to know that the church has such kind believers, if Mr. Dantès is in a hurry to go back and rest, I won't bother you." ”

"It's okay, I'm not that sleepy right now," Klein blinked, "just talking about these things makes people sober up a lot, and I can't help but remember my previous experiences." ”

"That's right......" Dunn didn't ask anything more, but his calm gaze was still fixed on Daun's face, as if he was watching what was hidden behind him.

Klein didn't care about this, the captain was not a "spectator", and he didn't have any ability to read minds, but Crane's smile couldn't help but carry a little banter: "Of course, I don't have a wife with me, so I don't have to worry about going back too late and making her feel dissatisfied." ”

Because there weren't many lights in the hall, the redness on Dunn's face wasn't obvious, but the curvature of the corners of his mouth couldn't be suppressed: "Well, it's okay, she can probably guess what I'm doing when I came out...... It's not the first time. ”

"Is it newlywed?"

"Oh? May I ask Mr. Dantès how he guessed? ”

Because the two of you hadn't pierced the window paper a year ago, Ms. Dai Li was still in unrequited love. With the captain, it is impossible for your character to accept such a thing as "second marriage", and it must be that with the promotion of Ms. Dai Li, you skipped a longer love run-in period and entered the marriage hall directly......

It's not easy for most of the year, and even the two of them are members of the Red Glove, so it's impossible to have too much free time.

Klein shook his head in his heart, concealed his true thoughts, and began to fabricate his own experience: "Actually, this kind of thing is easy to guess, newlywed and loving couples always have a kind of contagious joy in them, as if they can pass on this love of life to others." ”

Dunn vaguely remembered that the "Dawn Dantès" in front of him seemed to have a reputation for being suave, and that Dawn had a more unique vision for love-related things, which could also be explained.

The conversation was gradually drawn away from Dunn's specialty, and he waved his hand at Dwayne: "Sounds like a good thing, maybe one day, you will meet someone who is willing to exchange vows, and you will understand why this is happening." ”

This is to show that there is no intention to continue the conversation, and to euphemistically remind the gentleman who has an affair that the conversation has come to an end.

This is exactly what Klein wanted, and he smiled and bowed his head: "I still have self-knowledge in this kind of thing. I'm going to go back and rest a little longer, and I wish you a good night's sleep, Mr. Smith. ”

"So do you, Mr. Dantès."

Dunn watched Dwayne's back as he left, and took his pipe in his mouth again.

After watching the newly wealthy Bakerland merchant walk into the lounge, Dunn paused for a few more minutes before putting his pipe in his arms and slowly walking to the other side of the hall and up the stairs of the lounge for night watchmen.

Dalie's figure emerged from the hallway, and naturally grabbed Dunn's arm, and the two stopped in the empty corridor: "It doesn't look unusual. Either he was just an ordinary person, and the powerful spirit creatures I had perceived before had nothing to do with him, or Mr. Dantès hid it so well that we couldn't catch the suspicions on the surface. ”

"I'm more inclined to the latter," Dunn patted Daly's hand, "and one more thing, if he's from the military, then the powerful spirit you were briefly aware of can also be explained. Since the spirit stayed for a short time, it could not be ruled out that he had a seal in his hand, or a messenger, and someone wanted to contact Daun. ”

Dai Li nodded: "I know, after all, this is the military's airship, and we just took it by the way." I've done divination, and the trip went smoothly with no surprises. ”

"Although we have a limited understanding of the military's power, Dawn's destination is also Desey Bay, and before we perceive the hostility of the other party, we still focus on observation, so as not to make him resist first......

Dunn's voice slowed gradually, and out of his instinct of dealing with extraordinary beings and encountering all kinds of extraordinary powers, he always felt that Mr. Dantès had some intimate familiarity in him, but he could not remember meeting this gentleman.

His memory is still the same, in fact, it is not good enough to be impressed by "Dwayne Dantès", the information involved in the previous conversation was told to Dunn by Dalie, because the "Night Watchman" also has investigation materials on this rich businessman.

Where has he ever seen Dawn? Dunn rubbed his chin and fell into thought.

The two of them stayed in the hallway for a while.

Daly rested her head on Dunn's shoulder, not disturbing his musings, but leaning in quietly so that she could clearly hear the soothing heartbeat of the other.

Just this will make her feel satisfied, as if she can stay away from that nightmare and hold his hand all the way.

"I say, are you really going to stand here until dawn?"

Leonard came out of the common room with a depressed expression, and he looked out through the crack in the door two or three times.

But every time he saw Daly's happy smile, Leonard, who knew that she had always been worried about the Tingen accident, would have the idea of not being able to bear to disturb this "loving couple", and did not directly ask the two if they had dug up any news from "Dawn".

Now Leonard didn't want to take it anymore, he wanted to go to the toilet, so he simply walked out the door.

"Thinking about something, we'll go in right away." Dunn smiled and looked at the black-haired and blue-eyed youth, as one of Tingen's old colleagues, Leonard's current growth made him quite happy, and he was really happy to see the progress of the young man he was familiar with.

Leonard pointed in the direction of the stairs: "If you want me to say, that rich man has a lot of secrets, and I don't think he will reveal anything easily." ”

Dunn knew that Leonard had heard his previous conversation with Daly, and he didn't try to hide anything: "I can see it. Although he was very friendly, we didn't talk much about anything substantial. He looked so respectful to the goddess that I couldn't draw a conclusion. ”

After a pause, Dunn still voiced his doubts: "I always feel that he gives me a sense of familiarity, as if I have seen him somewhere. ”

Dai Li laughed, "Isn't it because he has some resemblance to you?" Especially those deep eyes. ”

Dunn looked back at her, his hand down, clasping Daly's hand tightly, "Maybe." ”

Leonard turned his head decisively and walked silently down the stairs to the hall, leaving the two men to continue enjoying their time alone. (End of chapter)
