Chapter Seventy-Six: Mr. Daun
Klein drew the symbol on the mirror, and it didn't take long for a silver-white flower-like rune text to quickly emerge on it, with clusters of lines imitating bouquets next to it, just looking at it, it could make people feel joyful and enthusiastic:
"Dear, dear and greatest host! Your most faithful servant is here, at your call. Insignificant Arodes, immensely happy to be able to serve the great host today too! β
Klein smiled and bowed, "Good evening, Arodes, I have some questions for you." β
"Dear master, what do you want to ask me? Here's my question for you. β
Arodus also had a smiling face at the end of the letter.
Nornes flew over from the monopod, sat on Klein's shoulder, and yelled at the mirror in dissatisfaction.
Klein had an inexplicable instinct that Nornes was scolding Arodes, with contemptuous and derogatory words like "fool".
The font on Arodes' mirror trembled a little, but nothing changed before Crane spoke, and Crane could be sure that Arodes understood what Nornes was saying.
It is not surprising that the little black dog has a contract with Esther, and has a occult connection with Nornes, but how can Arodus understand it, can it be that everyone except humans can understand Nornes' language?
Crane couldn't help but make these strange conjectures, but he still asked what he was more concerned about: "Is there any trace of the Angel of Time in Bakerlandry?" β
The mirror rippled like water, and soon, the staggered images flashed through it, but Crane's face became more and more strange - Arodes showed all the churches in Beckland, all under the names of the three gods.
Klein was sure that no matter how bold Amon was, he wouldn't put his doppelganger in the church. This is a foolish move, and once a believer prays sincerely, it greatly increases the probability of His discovery.
In the past, the "sun" was able to remove the doppelganger of Amon who had been attached to him because the "fool" noticed something abnormal, but for Amun, he took the initiative to enter the church...... That would greatly increase the risk of detection.
As Arodes finished showing the tour book of the Beckland Church, a half-red and half-white exaggerated flower script appeared on the mirror:
"Dear master! Your best servant, Arodes, has completed the task again and is very happy to help you~"
In addition to the inexplicable repetition of individual words, the last twisted line continued to extend and circle, making seven or eight circles, almost drawing the entire sentence into a circle.
Nornes let out another chirp similar to the one he had earlier, smacking Crane's hair twice, and when Crane turned around, he saw the lark shaking his head at him.
Crane looked thoughtfully into the full-length mirror and asked again, "Is it possible that the results you presented were interfered with, such as fraud?" β
The previous handwriting dissipated, and the answer on the mirror of Arodes returned to its normal silver-white color, and it was a little neater than the previous scattered handwriting: "I...... Your senior's servant will surely go out of his way to answer your questions! Within the capabilities of Arodes, any questions will be answered, and we hope you will be satisfied! β
After a brief pause, which was quickly changed before the new handwriting was revealed, Klein was now almost sure of his own conjecture.
"I asked the second question, and according to the principle of reciprocity, you should ask, Arodes."
The font on the mirror was displayed smoothly this time: "Great master, the lowly, weak Arodes has always had a doubt, are you already willing to give the light freedom?" β
Klein was stunned for a moment, subconsciously looking at the lark on his shoulder, and Nornes also looked back at Klein a little dazed, his little eyes full of clear blankness.
Then Klein laughed rather pleasantly: "Yes, I'm willing to give it...... Or maybe she's free. β
The water ripples on the mirror fluctuated violently for a moment, revealing a line of silver-white writing that was almost melting, as if it was about to cry: "This is the master's decision, and your servant Arodes accepts your answer......"
Arrodus's tone was almost resentful.
The lark raised his head unreservedly, shook his tail feathers and tufts proudly, and began to grind his paws on Crane's casual double-breasted coat, so he was tapped twice by Crane: "I don't mean to let you be reckless." β
Nornes muttered twice, sounding like a cuckoo wall clock.
Then Klein remembered that he had changed some new furniture in his bedroom two days before, and had actually purchased a wall clock with a cuckoo.
Klein hesitated for a moment, not asking "Can Nornes learn to speak" as another question.
After thinking about it, Klein thought it was better to ask something serious:
"Arrodus, does the Rose School have a covert activity in Beckland?"
The mirror happily wrote a new answer: "Yes master!" Do you need Arodes to show you their tracks? β
Klein knew that this was the opportunity for Arodes to take advantage of the question to show himself goodness: "Okay. β
Of course, he won't chase it himself, but this news can be sold as Sherlock Moriarty, and Emlyn White once revealed at the Tarot meeting that the Bloods have recently been on a mission to track down the traces of the Rose School.
Now that there is clear news, the other party must be willing to pay an extra price. Well, you can't get Mr. "Moon" too ruthlessly, just add a little message fee.
After letting Arodes leave, Crane sat back in his easy chair and poured himself a glass of warm water.
Looking at the symptoms of that answer becoming inverted, I don't know if Arodus was left with the sequelae of traumatic stress, or if Amon deliberately deceived the direction of the query information, or maybe it was still long-term......
Nornes flew from Crane's shoulder to the full-length mirror, flying back and forth twice in front of it, as if to confirm that the other party had completely left his territory.
Crane laughed and shouted at it, and the lark flew onto the table, grabbing another saucer and taking a small sip of the warm water that Crane had poured out.
Arodus hated "Zoya", and this dislike diverged, causing him to dislike Nornes as well......
Thinking of this, Crane tried to rub the lark's neck: "You don't like Arodes, do you?" β
The lark lifted its head and swayed up and down quickly.
"Why?"
Nornes just looked at Klein, whimpered twice, and then got up and flew back to the bird rack, acting as if he had done something wrong.
Klein was at a loss.
Perhaps he should have asked Arrodus how he could get Nornes to learn to speak...... It has obviously learned to sing with the "upside-down hanged man", why can't it speak human words?
ββ
In fact, there is still a person who can speak human words, such as the dog of Miss "Justice".
Crane couldn't help but think about it when he saw the carriage with the coat of arms of Count Hall parked in its fixed position, and then he stepped into the building at 22 Persfield Street.
Nornes sat obediently on his shoulder, and Dawn Dantès had an unusually intelligent pet bird, which had long spread in the circle and beyond, and many people took it as a joke.
This is the headquarters of the "Rune Charity Scholarship Fund", because the original house belonged to the Night Church, so this scholarship foundation, which is also sponsored by the church, does not need to pay any rent, which is very convenient for Klein.
In addition to visits, advocacy and surveys of public schools, the Foundation has begun to screen new students who will enter the University of Beckland this year, including the University of Technology and Technology, which has been reorganized from the Technical College of Beckland and has been fully upgraded.
"Justice," Audrey Hall, was sitting in the director's office on the second floor, looking through the list of people who had recently been screened out under the explanation of her assistant.
The large, supple golden retriever leaned on the cushion by the door, half-squinted at his focused master, then turned his head and sniffed at the door.
Audrey examined the contents, most of whom were about her age.
Perhaps it is because Audrey, who works at the Foundation, has always felt very kind to people for some time, and this assistant has the audacity to put forward his own suggestions:
"It's always just paper, but I think you should see it for yourself. In many places, the situation is much more ...... than the reports suggest Abominable. β
Audrey didn't hesitate for long, and then she made up her mind: "You're right, it's necessary to see the students who have received the grants in person, and we always have to make sure that what the Foundation is doing is not deviated from our original intentions." β
The assistant also seemed very happy: "Then I will negotiate with them and help you arrange a schedule to visit several schools as soon as possible!" β
"Thank you, Lovisha, and thanks to your help, I was able to familiarize myself with the work of the Foundation more quickly."
The assistant, who was not yet in his thirties, blushed a little and returned a sunny smile: "I want to thank you for not minding my abruptness...... I'm going to write a more detailed plan for this. β
Not long after Lovisha walked out of the room, there was a rhythmic knock on the door.
"Please come in!" Audrey quickly read the last line of information, moving the young student's file to the stack of papers "for review" before looking up at the door.
"Good morning, Mr. Daun." Audrey stood up from the table and gave a skirt salute.
Dawn also took off his hat in return, and the lark that had been standing on his shoulder flapped its wings and flew to the golden retriever.
Noons jumped twice, biting the big dog's head with his pointed beak, as if he was trying to groom Susie's already neat fur.
Susie reluctantly rolled over, collapsed on her cushion, and slouched her ears, trying to persuade the lark away from her with gentle resistance.
But Nornes was not affected at all, and instead chattered more vigorously.
This scene caused Susie's host and guests to chuckle.
