Chapter 4: Stewardship
"Still." Klein let out a sigh:
"Thank you for your support, Miss Justice."
——
"Mr. Dantès, is the situation really so bad now?" Hugh looked at Crane lying in his easy chair and couldn't help but ask Crane softly.
She had just witnessed the conversation between Mr. "World" and Miss "Justice", and Hugh seemed to understand the gravity of the current situation. She was half of Mr. Fool's, and she disagreed with what George III and the Rune Empire were doing now.
You must know that when Hugh was young, her father was framed and died because of the royal family.
"That's right." Klein sighed softly:
"Mr. 'Fool's guess is most likely not problematic, and now anyone or god who knows a certain inside story can vaguely guess that George III is the true god who wants to become the 'Red Priest' path, and the true god of this path often represents war and chaos."
"You've just joined the Tarot Society. You may not understand the severity of the current situation, but adjacent to this path is the 'witch' path. ”
"In the Quaternary Period, the 'Primordial Witch', who was the apex of the 'Witch' path, set off the 'Pale Disaster' in the Southern Continent together with the Grim Reaper, causing extremely terrifying disasters to both the Northern and Southern Continents."
"In other words, the same is true of the 'Red Priest' that George III wants to promote, and it will be even more harmful than the ritual of the 'Black Emperor' he originally wanted to promote."
"I see...... Hugh clenched her fists, and she took a deep breath as she turned to look at what seemed to be a well-dressed Beckland outside the inn.
"So did my father's death have anything to do with George III's plans?"
Hugh clenched his fists, and the light pot behind her inexplicably flickered with an eerie sheen.
……
"Mr. Asnia and Mr. Walter are very competent......"
Crane paced back and forth in the room, thinking.
Due to some circumstances, Miss Belin, who received him yesterday, suddenly told him that Mr. Lebuck, the former butler who believed in the "Storm Lord", had joined the Storm Church and could not come to the interview that Crane requested.
This surprised Klein, and it was likely that this gentleman had been involved in some extraordinary event that had led to Mr. Riebuck having the same opportunity to join the Church as he had been when he had crossed over in the first place.
"But it's easier to join the church than to keep running around looking for other noble stewards...... However, such a choice can also be more dangerous. ”
Crane whispered to himself, looked at the door in front of him, and finally walked to the hotel table and sat down:
"Miss Hugh, please invite the two gentlemen I interviewed just now to come over again, I have something to discuss with the two butlers."
There was a perfect demeanor in Crane's tone, which made Hugh even think that the "world" Mr. in front of him was a nobleman who had been in the Rune Empire for many years.
- If it weren't for Hugh knowing that the "Dawn Dantès" in front of him was equivalent to the previous "Lord of the Aurora" Gelman Sparrow.
"Okay."
Hugh, who was playing the role of a bodyguard, didn't ask Klein much about his reasons for doing so, and she scrupulously walked outside and invited the two gentlemen in, according to her previous experience.
Looking at Mr. Asnia, whose hair had turned gray, and Mr. Walter, who looked serious, Crane coughed lightly and cleared his throat.
"I interviewed both of them today and I think they are both excellent."
Klein pondered his tone slightly.
Mr. Asnia fits Klein's vision of a butler perfectly, rigorous and decent, and has considerable experience; Mr. Walter, on the other hand, has some connection to the former Prince Edsak.
Klein thinks that some high-dimensional information may be available from Walter's body.
"For me, I will settle in Beckland for the rest of my life." Klein looked at the two butlers with a gentle and majestic gaze:
"Again, I'm probably going to have a estate in Bakerland in the next few years, and of course, that's probably going to happen for a long time to come."
"Perhaps, I need two of you to advise me on where a newcomer needs to live and how many servants to hire in what is now Beckland."
Klein took a sip of tea and waited for the two to answer. He didn't have to wait long, and Mr. Asnia, who was dressed up properly and meticulously, said calmly, as if he had rehearsed it countless times in his heart:
"There's a big change from the current Beckland planning gap, sir."
"After the previous natural disaster that befell Beckland, His Majesty the Emperor has re-planned Beckland."
Asnia talked eloquently to Klein, without losing his own bearing and elegance between conversations, Klein nodded while listening, and his heart became more and more satisfied with Asnia's rigorous style of doing things.
“…… So if your purpose is to want to blend in with the city. Then I think the best option for you right now would be to choose a home in the middle of the business district and New Siston, and try to choose a lot of land that is close to New Queens. ”
Yes, it's a very professional answer. Crane thought to himself, and turned to look at Mr. Walter to the side, hoping that the butler would give him a satisfactory answer.
One of the reasons he chose the butler was to use the butler's own connections to help him integrate into the whole of Bakeland more quickly, so as to facilitate the investigation of George III.
Another reason is to use the previous events to find the corresponding things that may be related to the high dimension.
These two investigations were indispensable to Klein, and they were the main purpose of his return to Beckland.
In addition to this, Crane spent the rest of his time trying to expand his number of secret puppets and digest his "sophist" potion.
What surprised Klein was that after he was promoted to a demigod, he found that his "Sorcerer" potion had been digested more than half of the progress, and the rest of the potion would be digested quite quickly, and it would even take less than half a year to digest the "Sorcerer" potion.
Klein guessed that this might be due to some degree of intimidation of some high-level extraordinaires before, which could be regarded as the result of digesting the potion in advance.
After the two butlers had expressed their opinions, Klein stood up and said to them in a gentle tone:
"Two, maybe I can give you the best of both worlds."
Due to Huang Tao's use of Chinese idioms, this kind of idiom copied with Rune words - can also be regarded as the "proverb" of this world is more popular, so that the two butlers also understood the meaning of Klein's words for the first time.
The two butlers remained silent, waiting for Crane's next words.
"Checks and balances of power are an art, and of course that's what Russell the Great said." Klein said in a mellow voice: "I am very satisfied with the abilities of the two of them, and I also recognize the work experience of the two of them. ”
"However, I have been away from the kingdom of Rune for a long time and have been on the move, and I am also worried about whether power breeds corruption and whether it will have a certain impact on the property I control?"
"If the two of you are willing, I hope to hire two of them as my housekeepers at the same time, after all, if I set up a family here in the future, maybe the number of one housekeeper is not enough to support the family's daily affairs."
Klein imitated his boss's previous tone and drew a pie for his two butlers.
Although he only has more than 20,000 usable assets left on his body, he will not be too strapped with the support of the Aurora Society.
Although the Aurora Club itself does not have much money, the Aurora Company is a continuous cash cow that can provide emergency support to Klein.
"What do you think of what I am proposing?"
"Dear sir." Walter bent down slightly, took the lead in front of the Asnia butler, and said respectfully to Klein:
"My father told me this when I was younger. Even if you choose to hire me alone, I will advise you to hire another housekeeper. ”
Crane nodded with interest, letting Walter continue. Asnia's eyes fluctuated slightly, as if she was thinking about what she should say later.
"And again, if you choose that, there might be a change in the way we hire." Walter went on to explain to Klein:
"If you hire two butlers at the same time, it will look a little cluttered and rude to the eyes of the outside guests. If you insist on hiring the two of us, you may need to choose one of us as the leader, so that the impression of the outside guests will be better. ”
Sure enough, this employer wanted competition among us...... Mr. Asnia nodded:
"I'm thinking the same thing, Mr. Dantès."
……
"Beckland's planning has really changed a lot, and a large area has been zoned into a commercial area, and when I came here, I didn't think I would be able to live in this kind of place."
Firth said with a slight self-deprecation in his hand, holding his suitcase. She sorted out the items in her hand and arranged the materials for use one by one.
“…… If I want to do it, I can do it quickly. ”
After setting up his room, Firth used his ability to "record" to arrange the room with a occult anti-divination ability, which came from an unlucky "witch" who was caught by his teacher.
After doing all this, she set up a ritual in her room, and after a brief repetition of a few incantations, a small box appeared in front of Furth.
Furth couldn't wait to look at the inside of the box, where there was a neat denomination of gold pounds.
She stretched and took out a book from her bosom full of records from all over the place.
"This is the notebook I used to digest the 'Recorder'. Well, I can leave it alone for now, I just want to go outside for a while, take a good look, no, do a good job of investigating what is going on in Beckland."
"Well, I can't be too indulgent, the teacher has prepared so much action funds for me, and I should help the teacher do something."
Furth nodded, deciding not to make a salted fish for now. She took a few steps forward, locked the door carefully, and prepared to put herself in the shoes of Beckland.
I'm not here to enjoy it, I'm digesting my own potion!
Firth stressed to herself, but she never gave up on her warning. The teacher had told her about the laws of the aggregation of extraordinary properties, and now she had to be careful of all the extraordinary events that could happen around her at any time.
You must know that the current international situation is very tense, and one of the ten passers-by walking next to him may be a spy of the Intis or Vorsack Empire.
Among them, there are even many possibilities that those madmen who believe in cults and those who have received gifts in the southern continent.
Where to go first? Foirth thought to himself about the question. She nodded, and finally chose to walk towards the buildings that she had never seen before, which looked very commercial.
Don't rush this moment...... Documenting the new food here is also a kind of customs.
"I'm going to see Hugh again, and I can't forget the party with Miss Audrey and Mr. 'World'...... Hey, that's a lot going on. ”
The day after tomorrow is the time to meet Hugh, the last time they met, both of them were pitiful, weak and helpless low-sequence extraordinaires, and now both of them can be regarded as medium-sequence extraordinaires, and they have both become members of the "Tarot Society".
Forth sighed, only to see a monster with bloated flames not far away appear in the crowd.
And with that, there is a terrifying heat.
It's a bit of a cardin...... There is also a shift in the evening
