Chapter 582: Leonard digs a grave
Hobert saw the familiar roof and suddenly yawned.
Under the warm sun, lazy, and with his lover by his side, this simply meets all the conditions for taking a nap.
But he couldn't sleep today, so he yawned again, set up the altar to receive the offer, and got a way to make a spell using the "Time Worm".
This knowledge also appeared directly in his mind, and he only needed to "recall" it to appear immediately.
Furth struggled to get up: "I have to write to the teacher. β
Hobert cleaned up the altar, only to find that she was lying down again: "Why didn't you write again?" β
"I'll lie down and think about it, and then I'll get up and write when it's ready." Foirth yawned as he spoke.
"Oh." Hobert began to pack up for his return to Beckland, put on his coat, and brought with him a few documents about Longtail Island that Forth had brought with him, as well as three coconuts.
Finally, he took his cane, and then went to see Furth, the young lady writer, who was contemplating how to write her letter, and was already asleep.
Hobert smiled helplessly, kissed Foirth on the forehead, and returned to Beckland with "Travel".
He had come to the study, and had scarcely sacrificed 20,000 pounds in cash and the "Tyrant" card to the "Fool", when the butler Dofis reported: "A gentleman named Leonard wants to see you." β
Hobert was stunned for a moment, and immediately got up: "Take me to see him." β
Soon, in a small reception room, Hobart met Leonard, who had black hair and green eyes, and was outstanding in appearance, but had a somewhat casual temperament.
He smiled and said, "It seems that the business of the light bulb factory is very busy!" β
"It's okay, I shouldn't be as busy as you." Hobert smiled and said, "You seem to be in a hurry with me?" Why didn't I ask the messenger to send me a letter? β
"Because what I'm coming to you to discuss is very secret!" Leonard said with rare seriousness.
Hobert understood what he meant, and told Dophes to leave first, and when the door was closed, he asked, "What's the matter?" β
Leonard was still a little uneasy, he took out a silver dagger, built a spiritual wall, and then whispered, "I discovered a big secret today. β
Hobart said to himself: It can't be that I have entered Chanismen, right?
On the surface, he calmly said, "What's the matter?" Do you have to come to me in person? β
"Klein is not dead!" Leonard's expression at this time was very complicated, some were relieved, some were surprised, and some were puzzled!
Hobert was surprised: "How did I forget this stubble, so you have already gone to Tingen to dig a grave?"
Leonard took a deep breath: "When I got this inference, I was as surprised as you were. β
Hobert let out an "um", but thought to himself: Actually, we were surprised by the difference!
Leonard continued, "This morning, when I was combing through the old case, I got a picture of the so-called Sherlock detective, who had just arrived in Beckland, and I accidentally found that it looked very similar to Klein.
So I removed the glasses and beard from the photo in my mind, and it was at least eighty percent like Klein!
"I immediately re-investigate Detective Sherlock's landlord, who first appeared in a very simple disguise.
"Haha~" Leonard suddenly laughed a little excitedly: "Unless Klein has a twin brother, it's really hard to convince me that it's not Klein!"
"At the same time, the time can also be reversed, the time of Sherlock's appearance is a week after Klein's 'martyrdom', and in the case of Lanreus, Sherlock is also present.
"And the subsequent Capin case, the Beckland smog incident, he is tracking down Ince Zangwill."
Leonard clenched his fists in excitement and finally concluded, "Sherlock is Klein, and he's been looking for Ince Zangwill!" He never forgot to avenge the captain! β
Hobert also started to perform at this time, as if in hindsight: "You mean, Klein is not dead?" β
"No, it's more likely that he's resurrected!" Leonard said, "I was there at the autopsy, and he was dead!"
"I discovered before the Son of the Evil God came to the land that he seemed to be connected to a hidden extraordinary organization.
"It must be that he really wants to avenge the captain, so he sacrificed something important and resurrected!"
Leonard looked at Hobert with a serious face: "Let's go to the cemetery in Tingen to confirm together." β
"Goddess above, you're not going to dig up Crane's grave, are you?" Hobert smiled bitterly in his heart: The goddess is above, this guy actually came to invite me to dig a grave together, I really want to thank you, this kind of good thing still thinks of me.
Leonard took a deep breath: "This matter, if you don't confirm it, how can it be reassuring?" β
Hobert pinched his forehead: "You're right, I'll go and ask the butler to book a ticket." β
"Aren't you a seal with the ability to travel?" Leonard was a little strange: "Still going by train?" β
Hobart smacked his mouth: "This, this news is so shocking, it makes me a little confused." β
Leonard nodded: "It's understandable, when I first came to this conclusion, I almost fell down when I walked normally.
"By the way, Mr. Butler, please bring some tools like shovels and shovels."
Hobert was a little helpless, so he had to take tools and take Leonard to the cemetery in Tingen City with "travel".
He had just taken two steps in the cemetery when Leonard suddenly stopped.
Hobert glanced at the tombstone in front of Leonard, which was Neal Sr.
He sighed in his heart: I saved it twice, but I still couldn't get it back.
Hobert then reminded Leonard: "Not everyone has a chance of resurrection, and some people die just die." β
Leonard nodded: "I know!" β
Soon, the two men came to Klein's grave and began digging the grave.
At this time, there were many people in the cemetery who paid tribute to their deceased friends or relatives, and they were somewhat surprised to see that these two young men were digging graves.
It's still daylight! They can't be robbing tombs, are they?
Soon everyone reacted, and after saying a hurried goodbye to friends or relatives buried in the cemetery, they hurried away.
Before leaving, I didn't forget to take another look at the two young men, they were still working hard, and many of them decided to call the police immediately!
Since there were no graves, Hobert and Leonard quickly dug up the grave, and the coffin inside was open, and there was nothing in the already somewhat old wooden coffin.
Hobart sighed: I still remember the situation of pulling Klein by the hand and helping him come out of the grave.
"Sure enough." Leonard's shovel slowly loosened, and he looked at the coffin as if muttering to himself.
"It seems that your guess is correct." Hobert reached out and closed the coffin: "However, I think we have to keep this a secret. β
Leonard also came to his senses: "You're right! β
So the two men filled in the grave again and, before the police arrived, returned to Beckland.
In the parlor of the Earl's Court, Leonard took a sip of the already cold tea and suddenly said, "I know where to go to ask about Klein's whereabouts." β
Of course, it was to find which Dawn Dantès, and he now had serious doubts: Dawn must know Klein!
Leonard looked at Hobert: "I'm going to go to the Southern Continent with Ms. Daly's team recently, if there is news of Klein, how can I tell you?" β
"Write a letter!" Hobart said: "My messenger is not bad, and we have signed a contract, so you don't have to worry about the content of the letter being leaked." β
"Okay." Leonard stood up and took his leave.
Hobert said again: "By the way, you can help me contact Ms. Dai Li, just say that I have something to meet with her, and it is best if she can talk to her before she goes to the Southern Continent." β
"No problem."
Seeing Leonard away, Hobert shook his head and smiled, he really didn't expect that he could also participate in the process of digging the grave.
Not to mention, it's pretty cool, after all, it's digging the grave of the "fool"!
Back in the study, Hobert sighed: Leonard is going to the Southern Continent, and Crane is also going to the Southern Continent, which means that Ince Zangwill's death is not far off, and it also means that Crane will have the opportunity to be promoted to demigod.
He paused and thought: If Klein writes to me for help, I will go to war immediately, after all, I also want to beat this old boy too.
Although Adam will be encountered, he is here to take "0-08", so basically acting as a spectator in this event will not be dangerous.
And you can take this opportunity to talk to Adam.
The only thing that Hobart cares about is whether he should tell Ms. Dalie the truth?
This is something that Hobart was still hesitant about before today, with him in the war, Dali will definitely not die in battle, but there is no guarantee that Dalie's state will be after revenge?
It was just when he was digging the grave just now that Hobart made up his mind to tell Dali the truth, and let Dali choose what to do after that.
The next day, Tuesday, Hobart first got the good news that a major breakthrough had been made in the manor's research lab!
The first is the research on the conversion of electrical energy and sound energy, and the experiments have been successful many times, and the way to convert the two has been basically found.
That is, the world's first telephone was born!
In addition, there has been a major breakthrough in the research of plastics, and researchers have found additives that can make plastics strong and durable.
This is the best choice for battery housings, which are non-conductive and corrosion-resistant, making them more suitable than the ebonite that is being used today.
All these breakthroughs have to start from last Friday night.
After attending a banquet by the name of Dwayne Dantès, the two researchers suddenly remembered some ideas from a long time ago and felt that they should experiment with them.
So they experimented overnight, and their inspiration turned out to be the right result of the experiment they had been looking for.
After getting the news, in addition to immediately giving rewards ranging from 100 pounds to 3,000 pounds to the relevant scientific researchers, Hobert also felt that his three "time worms" were really worth it.
Not to mention the results of plastic, which is a material that is completely different from metal and wood, and has a wide range of applications.
It doesn't rust, doesn't need to be painted, and is lightweight and durable.
As for the telephone, it was an epoch-making invention, and since the birth of the first telephone, it meant that the speed of news was suddenly many times faster.
This change is enough to change the whole era.
Also in the morning, Hobert received a letter from Dalie in a courier asking him to meet at two o'clock in the afternoon at St. Samuel's Church.
If it weren't for the fact that he had met Leonard yesterday and suddenly received such a letter, Hobart would have wondered if he was trapping himself.
At 1:55 p.m., Hobert used his "trip" to the street near the church and strolled into the church.
With turquoise eyes, blue eyeshadow and blush, Ms. Daly was already sitting on a church bench and seemed to have just finished praying: "Long time no see." β
Hobert also smiled, "Long time no see." β
"I heard Leonard say you're looking for me?"
"That's right." Hobart didn't sit down at all: "Can you invite Ms. Dalie to my territory, well, I have something I want you to help me with." β
Dai Li got up and smiled, "If I didn't know that you were married, I would have thought you were looking for a reason to date me." β
As the two walked out, Hobert asked, "Have you been busy lately?" β
"I'm going to be running around all the major cities in Rune right now, so I'm busy." Dai Li smiled: "Recently, the newspapers have been reporting about the light bulb, which is a completely new product. β
She said, "I've experimented with some very weak spirits, and they are even afraid of the light of electric lights. β
Hobert was slightly stunned: "There is still such a thing?" β
This was something he hadn't expected.
Dai Li nodded: "After our research, the light is very similar to the sun. β
Hobert, who had already walked into the corner where no one was around, stretched out an arm and smiled, "Maybe I should contact the Church of the Eternal Sun to see if they have any need for electric lights." β
Dai Li grabbed Hobert's arm: "I seem to have introduced you to a big business." β
At this time, the space in front of the two became illusory, and Hobert took a step forward and led Dali into the spirit realm.
A minute later, they appeared in the study of the South Coulson Lord's Mansion.
The courtyard where the study was originally located was destroyed during Hobert's battle with the "Black Knights" of the Aurora Society, and now it has just been rebuilt.
Furth had already waited here in advance: "Hello, Ms. Dali. β
Daly smiled, "Hello, Countess. β
Knowing that this was a friend of Hobert's, Furth said, "Just call me Furth." β
Hobert took out a tea bowl from his arms: "I'm not going to invite you to tea, it's a magical item." β
He said, "This magical item can change your appearance, well, you need to change your appearance in a moment, and it's better not to let any acquaintances recognize the kind of change." β
Then Hobert said to Furth, "You help Miss Daly choose a dress that has a local character, and it is better not to have any Beckland-style dress." β
With that, Hobart left the study and waited in the main hall in the front yard.
Daly in the study, she asked Folth a little strangely, "What is Hobart looking for me?" β
She also thought that there were ghosts and other monsters in Hobert's territory, and she needed her ability to help.
Furth smiled, "I don't know, Hobart just told me, let me help you change your clothes." β
In fact, when Hobert came in the morning, he briefly told her what had happened, but Foirth also felt that now was indeed not the time to tell Dali the truth.
Dali smiled, "If you hadn't come to help me change my clothes, I would have thought Hobart would have thought something about me?" β
"Huh?" Furth was stunned, isn't this lady Dali from Rune? How do you talk like the Runnes in the colony?
After changing their clothes and changing their appearances, the two of them came to the front yard to find Hobert.
Hobert nodded with great satisfaction: "Yes, if you hadn't come to me with Furth, I would have almost lost your recognition." β
Then he said, "Lady Dali, I am going to take you to meet an acquaintance, who you may have thought about for a long time, or perhaps you have forgotten him.
"But in any case, in order not to break his quiet life, please be sure to control your emotions."
Dai Li smiled and said, "You came to me so mysteriously, just to let me meet someone?" β
"Yes, please come with me." Hobert used "travel" to take Dali to the roof of the building opposite the Special Operations Department.
At this time, it was not far from the afternoon class time, and Elliott and the other team members went to the classroom in twos and threes.
The scorching sun is the most vicious at this time, and although Hobert and Dalie are no longer afraid of heat and cold, it is also very uncomfortable to be exposed to the sun so directly.
Just as Dali was about to ask a question, she saw a familiar figure appear on the street.
Dai Li rubbed her eyes, thinking that she had seen it wrong.
Take a closer look, it's really that person!
She suddenly felt chills all over her body, and her whole body was limp.
Is this another hallucination? Is it a dream again?
If it was a dream, she wished it was a little longer, because she hadn't dreamed of him lately.
She's so lonely, she's so sad, has he forgotten himself in the underworld? Otherwise, why don't you want to appear in your dreams?
Dai Li took a few deep breaths and was about to stretch out her hand to call out to the other party, but Hobart said on the side: "I said, it's best not to disturb his peaceful life." β
Dai Li saw that he was smiling and chatting with the street vendors, and while chatting, he also smoked his pipe, and he was no longer as strict as before, and he was no longer as cold as before.
After chatting for a while, he looked at his pocket watch, said goodbye to the vendors, and came to the courtyard with the sign "Department of Special Operations" hung up.
Casually greeting a few people in the courtyard, occasionally pausing to say a few words, he finally entered a classroom.
The student who had been waiting in the classroom immediately stood up, smiled, and began to talk to everyone.
The smile was cheerful and sincere, not at all like the wry smile that always flowed out of Tingen.
After watching for a long time, Dai Li asked, "I, can I take a closer look?" β
She could feel that Dunn had a new life, and he loved it.
"Absolutely." "But you have to wipe your tears first, and you have to control your emotions," Hobert said. β
Dai Li realized that tears had already flowed all over her cheeks, and after wiping them away with her handkerchief, she waved her hand between her chest and abdomen, where an illusory door seemed to be opened.
There was a small ghost the size of a palm, with a tiger's head, and it probed out of the illusory door, and Dali grabbed the ghost and pressed it to the place of her heart.
In an instant, Dai Li's appearance changed somewhat, and her face was pale and she didn't look like a living person. Her whole temperament also seems to have changed, as if she has lost all her emotions and feelings at once.
Hobert then took her out of the roof and into the Special Operations Department.
At present, the second team is mainly in the South Coulson Special Operations Department, and the first team of Angus has been transferred to Longtail Island.
After chatting with Helen who had heard the noise, Hobert took Daly to the classroom and sat in the last row.
Everyone in the classroom also saw the lord come in with a strange woman, but as soon as Hobart entered the door, he waved at everyone and asked everyone to continue listening to the class, so everyone did not stand up.
Dunn also nodded at Hobart and continued to lecture: "...... As I said, this is your last lesson.
"I've already talked about the occult and how to deal with some common cases.
"In the last lesson, we talked about spiritual perception.
"I've already talked about the relevant theoretical knowledge before, so I won't repeat it here.
"What I want to tell you is that the spirituality of the extraordinary is quite sensitive, and you will feel it when you happen to meet the target or clue you are looking for.
"Even if her behavior is unfamiliar to you, even if it seems far from the clue you are seeking......"
Elliott, who was sitting at the bottom of the podium, was slightly stunned: Mr. Dunn had misused the word, it should be "it" and not "she".
Dunn spoke for more than half an hour before letting Hobart speak on stage.
Hobart got up and said a few high-sounding words before moving on to the practicals: "You will be members of the third squad of the special operation, yes, this is a squad formed specifically for you.
"You'll be stationed on Longtail Island with Team 1, but you're stationed at the port on the east side, where development hasn't started yet, but once you're stationed, construction work will begin.
"There will be casinos, there will be extraordinary auction houses, real estate will be developed, you have a lot of work......"
After four o'clock in the afternoon, the class was finished.
The students all went back to pack their belongings and had dinner with Mr. Dunn in the evening.
Hobert took Dali back to the study of the Lord's Mansion, and Dali grabbed out the ghost that she had put in her heart before and locked it back in her body.
At this time, Dai Li's mood had stabilized and calmed down.
She looked at Hobert and couldn't help but smile: "I didn't expect you to make such a big joke with me." β
Hobert spread his hands: "You should know better than me, if the people of the Night Goddess Church knew that Dunn was still alive, they would definitely send someone to arrest him, and I would not be spared, and I might be forced to break with the Night Goddess Church." β
"I don't blame you." Dai Li said: "I am very grateful to you, really, very grateful to you. β
Hobert took a deep breath: "Although my question seems a little redundant based on your reaction, I still have to ask: Do you want to come to South Coulson and live with Dunn?" β
