Chapter 156: A Glance at the Horror (Asking for a Guaranteed Monthly Pass)
For a moment, Crane's casually swept gaze paused, froze on the familiar figure.
He immediately realized that he was exhibiting something unusual, and in the demigod's inspiration, it was impossible to ignore.
The muscles in his back tightened, and the thoughts in Crane's mind raced, and sparks collided.
He didn't look away abruptly like a reflex, but still looked over there, looking at the demigod who was suspected to be the "Black Emperor" pathway, and said to Councillor Makht with a smile:
"It's not just veteran officers who are here. ”
This is nonsense that seems to be meticulously observed, but actually makes no sense.
MP Makht laughed and said:
"At the end of the day, any club goes beyond its boundaries. ”
His answer seems to say nothing, but if you taste it carefully, it will make you feel as if you have said something, or just the opposite.
At this time, the gentleman in a black suit with broad shoulders and slightly long arms also naturally turned his head sideways, glanced at the location of the two of them, and saw that a wealthy man who had donated 15,000 pounds was looking at himself and the others curiously, and talking in a low voice with the member Makht next to him.
This made him feel that the other party's stunned gaze just now was more like a normal reaction after knowing his position.
Then he withdrew his gaze and continued with the unfinished topic.
At this time, Klein's vest was already in a dense layer of cold sweat, and he felt that his legs were a little weak.
Although he has faced demigods directly, and even fought, it is the first time that he has encountered such a small occasion, close contact, and a situation containing a crisis, and more importantly, he is far from being ready to face a demigod, not only does he not have a secret couple, but he only brings a "death knell" revolver, an Azk copper whistle and an adventurer's harmonica.
- The "Poseidon Scepter" cannot be carried in the flesh, and it is harsh on the environment in which it is used, otherwise it will cause a large number of casualties; once "Grossell's Travels" is placed on the body for a long time, it will make Crane passively enter the world of the book, and when the time comes, it will be very troublesome to think of it again; "Wriggling Hunger" is still unsealed, and he is restless every day, and it is not necessary to take it out in advance; the "Stealer" spell is made of "Time Worm", which may attract Amon, unless it is used soon, how dare Klein carry it all the time......
If the problem was really discovered by the demigod who was suspected of being the "Black Emperor", there was only one solution he could think of:
That is to blow the harmonica, summon Miss Courier, and ask her to escape from Backerland with her through the spirit realm!
He didn't want Renette Tinicol to fight directly with the other party, he took the "Death Kneak" revolver, and looked for an opportunity to shoot coldly next to him, because this is Beckland, the home of the official extraordinary, with the strange shape of Miss Messenger, that gentleman will be charged casually, and what awaits Klein is bound to be a siege, and there must be more and more demigods and powerful seals.
It's really thrilling...... Crane looked away logically, controlled his legs with the ability of the "Joker", and walked out of the gate without showing the slightest abnormality.
He didn't ask the councillor next to him, he didn't ask who and who those people were just now, and he didn't seem interested at all, so as to prove that he was really just a casual look before.
However, the other party's look back exposed his appearance to Klein's eyes:
Thick but uncluttered black eyebrows, short, stiff hair of the same color, dark blue eyes, a nose as tall as a mountain, a large beard extending from the sides of the mouth, deep contours, long face shape, and cold lines.
This is a man with a very tough guy taste, and it is possible to be in his thirties and forties, and it is difficult to judge accurately.
Judging by his appearance alone, Klein felt that he was more of a demigod in the "Arbiter" path than a "Black Emperor".
Of course, the demigod's temperament is actually closer to that of a "warrior", however, he is too short.
With this clear appearance, Klein didn't need to ask anymore, he could directly ask Arodes for answers, even if he was still afraid of the "magic mirror", he could also entrust Miss Hugh, Miss Sharon and others to do a simple identity investigation.
- He believes that no matter how hidden a demigod is, his position will not be too low, and he can be easily detected.
One step, two steps, three steps, Klein behaved normally and left the "East Byron Veterans Club".
After getting into the carriage, he leaned against the wall of the carriage, closed his eyes, was silent for a few seconds, and sighed long in his heart:
"The broken clues of the Great Smog of Beckland are finally connected again......"
He didn't open his eyes for a long time, he didn't speak, as if he was still reminiscing about the business issues discussed before, but in fact, he was more soothing the inner emotions that he had just suppressed.
In the process, Klein noticed that Richardson, the valet, wanted to open his mouth several times, but closed his mouth again, as if he was embarrassed about something.
In the end, he didn't say anything, and concentrated on preparing the marquis's black tea for his employer.
Because of what had just happened, Klein was not in the mood to take care of his problem for a while, pretending not to notice anything.
Amidst the silence and the sound of wheels turning, they returned to 160 Bercolnd Street.
Going up to the third floor, Klein was about to take a bath in the bathtub where the maid had set the water temperature, when Richardson, who was holding his top hat and cane, hurried two steps ahead and asked respectfully:
"Sir, are you going to the Southern Continent recently?"
"Yes. Crane replied calmly that he was even ready to give the housekeeper Tanea another 500 pounds in cash to cover the daily expenses of the Dawn Dantès mansion while he was in the Southern Continent.
At the same time, he also gained a deeper understanding of the importance of the two positions of butler and personal servant in high society:
The master can't hide many things from them at all, so when there is an irreconcilable contradiction between each other's beliefs and attitudes or political positions, they must be replaced.
Richardson hesitated and said:
"Sir, I was born in the Southern Continent, I speak the Dutan language, and I am very knowledgeable about the various local customs, and I should be able to help you. ”
Dutan was the lingua franca of the ancient Bailang Empire, and it is still spoken by the common people in today's East and West Bailang, and only those in the middle and upper classes understand foreign languages such as Gufsak, Rune, and Intisi.
Klein's feelings about this are more lucky, because Gubailand was once a unified empire with true gods, so although each state has its own accent, it uses Dutan language, and the same is true for the written language, which saves him a lot of trouble.
If you encounter dozens or hundreds of languages mixed together, it will be a headache...... However, Dutan and Gufsak are not systematic, and I cannot master them as quickly as I can learn the many branches of the latter, and finding a translator is essential, well, Anderson seems to be very good at Dutan, and I have not seen him mention that there is a communication barrier in West Bailang...... After listening to Richardson's words, Klein suddenly understood what he was struggling with just now.
As a valet, he needs to follow his employer when he goes out on errands, but the housekeeper doesn't.
In other words, the valet is not only a life secretary, but also plays the role of a business secretary to some extent.
Obviously, Richardson liked the life of Beckland, liked everything here, and did not want to go back to the Southern Continent, and did not want to see the scenery and things that could remind him of the past, so when he was on the carriage, he only tried to explain his expertise several times but could not open his mouth, hoping that Dawn Dantès could find another more suitable person.
Klein groaned:
"It can be seen that you don't like the Southern Continent too much, why did you take the initiative to tell me these things?"
Richardson slowly lowered his head, looked at his toes and said:
"You've given me the opportunity to gain experience and grow, and I thought, I guess I can help. ”
Very simple reciprocation complex...... If you don't, no one can be sure that you'll be able to say anything, after all, you were born and raised on a colonial estate in East Byrang...... Klein looked at Richardson carefully for a few seconds, smiled silently, and sighed in his heart.
However, he didn't plan to let this personal valet follow him to the Southern Continent, firstly, this would cause his various actions to become inconvenient, and secondly, if the other party was recognized by some acquaintance of the Restoration Spiritual Sect, it might affect the rest of his life.
Klein smiled and said:
"I have a lot of friends over there, and they all know the language, and they all know all kinds of customs.
"Well, you have more important things, you are going to stay in Beckland, and every once in a while I will go to some friends' houses to give some gifts, and I will give you a list when the time comes, and also, read more newspapers, pay more attention to valuable investment news, and do field trips, and then give me the corresponding reports, and I will have Ms. Tanya prepare a special amount for these things. ”
Richardson was a little stunned at first, and then said with surprise and joy:
"Yes, sir, I, I'll try!"
At this moment, he felt that he was being reused, and his vision became blurred inexplicably.
For the first time since he was born, he feels that the future is full of hope and yearning.
Sending Richardson away, Klein took a comfortable bath to ease his tense spirits, and then, putting on his pajamas, he returned to the bedroom, took out a pen and paper, and drew a complex symbol that blended "peeping" and "stealing".
On the surface of the full-length mirror, the water waves suddenly swung in circles, and the silver light composed of Lu Enwen:
"The Most High Great Master, your faithful, insignificant, humble servant Arodes has come at your call!
"Are you leaving Beckland again?"
Klein nodded and said:
"Yes. ”
Without waiting for Arodes to say that he could ask questions, he spoke directly:
"In the Southern Continent, can I still contact you?"
"Of course, if you take out that magic radio receiver. On the surface of the mirror, those silver words quickly reassembled, "However, you can't let it stay in reality for too long, or use it too often, there are many 'Mother Trees of Desire' in the Southern Continent, and he may sense it." ”
Klein bowed his head lightly and asked:
"What do you know about the Mother Tree of Desire?"
"Magic Mirror" Arodes was silent, and it took a long time for the silver light on the mirror to creep and change into a complete sentence:
"I didn't dare to say it, and I didn't dare to show it. ”
