Chapter Ninety-Four: An Offline Meeting with Miss "Justice".
"Huh?" After hearing Gao Wei's words, Benson suddenly let out a puzzled voice. Klein couldn't help but wonder about this, with the same circled look on his face: "What do you mean?" β
Gao Wei gently sandwiched a piece of stewed lamb and put it into his mouth, and said unhurriedly: "This has something to do with the policy that the king is preparing to issue recently. β
"Speaking of which, I remember that I asked you to pay more attention to the decree, why don't you seem to know this news yet?"
Klein chuckled dryly, he really hadn't been paying much attention lately. Speaking of which, Klein consciously read the newspaper as well, but he didn't find any relevant policies about what Gao Wei said.
"The civil service exam is now ahead of schedule, and the information will be released probably next week. The king is now also actively pushing for a decree to select an elite group of scholars to confer baronial titles. These men will hold various important positions in the royal family and will be aligned with the king's interests. β
"Of course, to a certain extent, they will also do the king's will, and to a certain extent, they will optimize the unreasonable matters of government officials when issuing decrees - after all, this is the barons who represent the face of the royal family, and they are supposed to have a positive effect."
This is the information I found in previous interviews about royal decrees. Crane, you have to read carefully! β
"At the very least, it will make those stupid government officials stop being like curly baboons." Benson sighed: "Alas, I don't know if there is a way to change the stupid currency system of the Rune Kingdom, the current currency system is really for curly-haired baboons who can only count numbers with their fingers crossed. It's cumbersome, counter-intuitive, and weird. β
"Of course it's weird. Speaking of which, Benson, do you know why a pound is twenty sules? While chatting lightly, Gao Wei showed off another self-made siu mai and said to Benson with a smile. Benson was a little confused and asked:
"Why?"
"Because curly-haired baboons have a total of twenty toes, they can only count to twenty." Gao Wei humorously said to Benson, who likes to tell ironic jokes, and the two immediately smiled, and Melissa on the side suddenly turned her head and couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing.
Immediately, the table was filled with a happy atmosphere, and Klein couldn't help but be infected by the atmosphere and laughed. But after laughing, Klein also took the chopsticks in his hand and took a roasted wheat, and said while eating:
"But can the king's decree really come down? Wouldn't the previous nobles oppose this decree? β
"It's not a problem for the king at all."
Gao Wei chuckled softly: "The aristocracy will push the young people who have a relationship with their own family to the front of the stage and make them the new nobles. The titles of these nobles themselves will not change, so they can take advantage of this opportunity to extract the most benefits. They can put their hands into politics, so why oppose it? β
This was tantamount to enhancing the interests of both the royal power and the nobility. The king has his own 'eyes', and the nobility is equivalent to increasing his own title. It's just that by that time, Rune will not be a kingdom, but an empire ruled by kings and nobles. β
β¦β¦
On Sunday night, Klein, who had adjusted his face again with the help of Mr. Z, put on a gold-rimmed glasses on his face, put on a formal suit, and got into the carriage of the Hall family under the reception of the butler who came to him. Unlike the prince's fully enclosed carriage, the carriage in which Klein now sits is quite luxurious and has a good ventilation effect.
While he sighed at the wealth of the Hall family, he couldn't help but have some expectations and nervousness for this lecture.
The most anticipated thing is that there are 300 ...... per class Phew, it's the experience that this rigorous teaching will bring to me, plus the novelty of meeting some members of the Tarot Club offline. Crane was nervous about whether he would be recognized by Miss Audrey, who had almost finished digesting the "mind reader" potion.
In front of the "audience", Klein was really not sure that he could hide his identity well, so he was ready to make his words and actions closer to the "world" that appeared at the tarot meeting rather than the "fool", so that even if he fell off the horse, he could explain why he knew about the "tarot meeting" and not expose the identity of the fool, which would be too socially dead.
"Here we are, Professor Moriarty, please come with me."
As he stepped out of the carriage, Crane heard the voice of a maid. He nodded, looked at the maid in front of him, and walked towards the Hale family's manor, which had not built their own castle on the outskirts of Beckland, but had only built a manor there.
Passing through the stone-paved walkway, Klein walked into the palatial hall, the manor hall of Earl Hall's family was not inferior to any nobles, and at a glance it was extraordinarily magnanimous. Crane restrained his admiration and walked to the room without any emotion on his face.
- As early as that day, when Earl Hall and Crane agreed on the content of the follow-up teaching, he had already explained to him the location of the lessons, and had built a "rest room" in his manorβin fact, it was a room where classes and training rooms were combined.
Of course, at Klein's request, Earl Hall also customized training clothes for his daughter to increase Earl Hall's sense of security and training effect. Earl Hall agreedβafter all, after the last attack on Mr. X, Earl Hall was also a little afraid.
He was afraid that his daughter did not have the ability to protect himself, as for the bodyguard of the extraordinary? The one who secretly guards his side is only a Sequence Five Extraordinary, and some of the Extraordinaries who can be sent to Audrey are not even as high as Audrey's Sequence - of course, Earl Hall still has several bodyguards for his daughter, and when they are really in danger, even if they can block Audrey's knife, it is good.
However, Count Hall was still a little shocked when he learned that his daughter was already an extraordinary person of Sequence 8.
What a luxury...... Looking at the decoration in the lounge, Crane suddenly felt his jealousy twisted. He felt that he needed to criticize the extravagance of the great nobles of this era, which was too rich......
Klein sat in the lounge, waiting for Audrey to arrive. After waiting for a while, Hibbert walked in with Audrey, who was wearing a dress that was more of a ramp for everyday wear, and as an elder brother, Hibbert still needed to meet the extraordinary man in the first class. Today Count Hall has something to do and is unable to receive this deacon. Therefore, whether it is from the perspective of an older brother or the eldest son of the family, Hibbert needs to meet this "Sequence Five" powerhouse.
Although Earl Hall believed in the character of the deacons of the Church of the Night, he left a number of servants outside the room to serve the two. Klein thinks this is normal, after all, no one will teach their weaknesses to others without reservation. Hibbert only spoke to Klein for a few words, and left Audrey in the common room.
In the common room, in the "classroom", Audrey couldn't help but be a little nervous, she looked at the "Professor Moriarty" in front of her, and felt that it was difficult to connect the person in front of her with the powerful extraordinary person before - the ghost knows how surprised Audrey was when Count Hall told her that she had found a night watchman deacon as a teacher, not to mention, this deacon Audrey still knew ......
After all, Professor Moriarty, who had asked Audrey to help him get the knighthood, was now sitting in front of her alive - as a teacher. Before Klein actually became Audrey's teacher, Audrey originally thought that this was a difficult task, after all, it was to get a commoner to get a knighthood.
However, she recently heard the king's decree when she asked Susie to eavesdrop on her father's speech, coupled with the close relationship between "Professor Moriarty" and her father......
Audrey suddenly felt that Professor Moriarty in front of her had made her task of Gao Wei much easier, and while feeling that she could receive the reward from Mr. Gao Wei, this also made Audrey feel a little weak, feeling like she had been paid for doing nothing. She looked at the professor in front of her, restrained the little thoughts that had grown in her heart, and said to Professor Moriarty in front of her with impeccable aristocratic etiquette:
"Hello, Mr. Moriarty. Don't know what you call it? β
"Sherlock Moriarty. You can call me Sherlock, or Professor Moriarty. β
Crane replied with the etiquette he had learned, and although Crane's tone was still flawed in Audrey's eyes, it was close to nitpicking if he had to use these flaws. In Audrey's opinion, Klein's aristocratic etiquette was even better than that of some viscounts and barons with lower titles. This also made Audrey stunned for a moment, after all, almost all people who can learn aristocratic etiquette so well are people who have received aristocratic education since childhood......
After coming to a conclusion, Audrey began to look more intently at Klein in front of her.
Well...... He was wearing a newly-made suit with some frayed edges. This is also the fact that his financial situation does not seem to be as good as that of the nobles with knighthoods, but it is not bad either. No, the workmanship of this suit is very good, and it is possible that he is used to frugality......
In this way, he must have other jobs, such as the work of a night watchman and the work of a professor, or he would not have the financial means to buy this dress. However, from this point of view, his family should not be noble, and no one gave him financial support, which was bought by himself......
He had calluses on his fingers, and he looked like he was holding something in his hands...... Judging from his status as a "night watchman", he should always hold a pistol, right?
While Audrey was observing Klein, Crane was also looking at Audrey, and the atmosphere was strangely silent. After a few seconds of silence, Klein asked first:
"Miss Hall is an extraordinary person now?"
"Ah...... That's right. β
Audrey nodded and said to Crane. Crane took a deep breath and said to Audrey, "Count Hall has told me about your condition, and I will tell you something that extraordinary people should know as your father asks. To prevent repetition, I need to ask you some questions. β
"Of course, I won't ask where you got the potion, it's not working time, and you're the daughter of Count Hall."
This is a message that Klein deliberately gave to Audrey, who he believes can summarize his identity from his own words - Crane does not know that his identity as a night watchman has been revealed to Audrey by Earl Hall, and he is still trying to find a way to prove his authority.
"Okay." Audrey nodded obediently, but in her heart, she didn't think that the deacon on night watch in front of her knew more than the "fool" above the gray mist. Audrey just secretly lamented that she was going to spend two to three hours here boring, but she looked like a lady.
"First of all, which path are you extraordinary?" Crane took out a notebook and asked Audrey.
He probably knew what Audrey knew, so he didn't ask if Audrey knew the "Law of Extraordinary Characteristics" and "Acting Law" and the like, so that if he said too much, it would arouse the suspicion of others; The second is that these things were originally said by him at the tarot meeting, and Audrey also knew what these messages represented, and Klein said these things just a waste of time for both.
After all, before coming here, Klein was ready to take off his vest, and he was afraid that his identity would be exposed later, if now he "taught Audrey after he knew that she knew what to do" was exposed to Audrey......
That's the real social death.
"Audience." Audrey looked at the person in front of her lightly, and said reservedly, and couldn't help but have some thoughts of showing off in her heart: "I'm already the 'mind reader' of Sequence Eight now." β
"Okay, I got it." Mr. Fool in Sequence 7 nodded and said to Audrey, "Do you know the most basic knowledge of the Extraordinary? Well...... I'm not sure if you're just going to know the full extent of it, but I'm going to tell you a little bit about it now, and if there's anything different from what you know, you're going to have to bring it up quickly. Please don't hide it, some extraordinary people will deliberately hide some information in order to trap people. β
Crane remembered Triss before, well, now Triss, and this is a model of a person who has been withheld from information to cause tragedy.
"Okay." Audrey said confidently.
She didn't believe that anyone would dare to spread false knowledge at Mr. Fool's party.
At such a high-level gathering, Audrey consciously told more than the "governess" her father found for herself.
