Faced with his sister's question, Klein could only smile bitterly:

"Muscle aches. ”

He originally thought that taking sequence potions and becoming an extraordinary person would more or less improve his physical fitness, but the cruel truth told him that the skills of the "soothsayer" were all based on spirituality, spirituality, intuition, and interpretation, and did not allow him to adapt to martial arts training quickly.

The original owner had been focusing on reading for many years and was a little malnourished, so that his physical fitness has been at a lower than average level, and it can only be said that it is quite normal to have such "sequelae" today.

"Muscle aches? I remember you came back after dinner yesterday and didn't do anything else...... Does alcohol make muscles sore?" asked Melissa inquiringly.

Does alcohol make your muscles sore...... Sister, do you have a good question...... It's really a crooked question...... Crane laughed dryly and said:

"No, it has nothing to do with alcohol, it was yesterday afternoon, I joined the company's martial arts training. ”

"Fighting?" Melissa was even more surprised.

Klein quickly organized the language:

"Well, I think that as a history and heritage consultant for a security company, I can't stay in the office forever, in the dock warehouse, and maybe one day in the future I will need to go with them to the countryside, to the castle, to the first place where the artifacts were obtained, to climb mountains, to cross rivers, to walk many, many tests of nature, and that it is necessary to be physically healthy. ”

"So you're training in martial arts to improve your physique?" Melissa understood what her brother meant.

"Yes. Klein replied in the affirmative.

Melissa frowned slightly and said:

"But that's not a gentleman...... Haven't you always held yourself to the standards of a professor? A professor only needs to read the literature, think about difficult problems, and be polite and personable. ”

"Of course, I'm not saying it's bad, I like men who can solve problems on their own, whether they use their muscles or their brains. ”

Klein smiled and said:

"No, no, no, Melissa, you have a certain misunderstanding of the definition of a professor, a real professor can not only communicate with people gently, but also when there is a barrier to communication, he can lift his cane and persuade the other party in a physical way. ”

"Physical way......" Melissa didn't react at once, but she quickly understood what her brother wanted to express, and she couldn't find the words to refute it for a while.

Crane didn't say anything more, struggled to move his legs and moved to the bathroom.

Melissa stood there, looked at it for a few seconds, suddenly shook her head, and chased after her in two steps:

"Need my help?"

She gave a holding position.

"No, no, I just had some acting ingredients. Feeling insulted, Crane straightened his back and walked normally.

Watching her brother walk steadily into the bathroom and close the door, Melissa pursed her lips and muttered in a low voice:

"Klein is really getting more and more pompous...... I thought his muscle soreness was that bad......"

In the bathroom, Klein stood behind a closed door, his face contorted.

"Pain, pain, pain......" He held his breath and tensed his body for a full seven or eight seconds.

It wasn't until he went downstairs, finished breakfast, and saw Benson and Melissa out the door that he felt so sore anymore.

After resting for a while, Klein grabbed his cane, put on his top hat, and walked out the door slowly, walking towards the station of the railroad carriage.

............

During the summer vacation, Hoy University is full of green trees, flowers and birds, peaceful and tranquil.

After walking along the river for a while, Klein turned onto the road that led to the history department, found the three-story graystone building that was some years old, and found the office of his mentor, Cohen Quentin.

He knocked on the door and entered, and was surprised to see Azik, the instructor, sitting in the place of the instructor.

"Good morning, Mr. Azik, where is my mentor? Crane asked, confused.

Cohen Quentin's close friend, faculty member Azik, with whom he often argues over academic issues, laughs:

"Cohen has an impromptu meeting, he went to the University of Tingen, and asked me to wait for you here. ”

He has bronze skin, a medium build, black hair and brown eyes, soft features, an indescribable sense of vicissitudes in his eyes, and a small mole hidden under his right ear that cannot be detected unless you look closely.

After saying the reason, Azk suddenly frowned, and looked at Klein carefully.

"Is there anything rude about me?" Klein looked blankly at what he was wearing:

Tuxedo, black waistcoat, white shirt, black bow tie, dark trousers, leather boots without buttons...... Isn't that normal......

Azk stretched his eyebrows and smiled:

"Don't worry, I just suddenly noticed that you are much more energetic than before, more like a gentleman. ”

"Thank you for the compliment. Klein accepted calmly and asked, "Mr. Azik, did the tutor find the book "Research on the Ancient Ruins of the Main Peak of Hornachis" in the school library?"

"Found it, with my help. Azik said with a soft smile, then opened the drawer and took out a book with a gray cover, "You are no longer a student at Hoy University, you can only read here, you can't take it away." ”

"Okay. Klein took the academic monograph with joy and implicit trepidation.

The design of this book is completely in line with the current fashion trend, with the front and back covers made of cardboard, and the patterns are pictures, making up the abstract appearance of the main peak of Hornachis.

Crane glanced at it, found a place to sit down, opened the book, and read it carefully, line by line.

He was fascinated by it, and suddenly noticed that there was an extra cup of coffee at hand, and the aroma was mellow and rich.

"Add your own sugar and milk. Azk said, putting down the small silver tray and pointing to the milk jug and sugar cube.

"Thank you. Klein nodded gratefully.

He added three sugar cubes and a spoonful of milk to his hand, and continued to read without knowing what to do.

The book "Research on the Ancient Ruins of the Main Peak of Honaches" is not thick, and when it was close to noon, Klein finished reading it and grasped a few points that need attention:

"1. The biological settlements of the main peak of Honachis and the surrounding area have clearly formed a civilization and an ancient kingdom. ”

"Second, judging from the murals, their appearance is no different from that of human beings, and they can be preliminarily regarded as human beings. ”

"3. They revere and fear the night, and from this personify a god to believe, calling this god the Lord of the Night, the Mother of Heaven. ”

"Fourth, the strangest thing is that no tombs of this country have been found in the whole area, giving people a strange illusion that their inhabitants do not need to be buried, and may not even die, and this contradicts the content of the mural, in which the people of this country believe that death is not the end, and that their dead relatives will protect themselves in the night, so they will leave their dead relatives at home, in bed, and on pillows, for three days. ”

After that, the frescoes end there, and there is no part of the burial. ”

Klein took a sip of coffee and continued to write "After Reading" in his notebook:

"The Mother of Heaven, the Mother of Heaven, is a very high title, and the Lord of the Night clearly overlaps with the Goddess of the Night...... Is this the source of the contradiction?"

"In the ancient ruins of the main peak of Honachis and the surrounding area, all the displays and furnishings are well preserved, and there are no signs of damage to the frescoes, and it seems that the place was not disturbed in the slightest before it was discovered...... There were plates on the table, and there were dry rot marks in the plates...... In some rooms, there is also half a bottle of wine that has almost turned into clear water......"

"What about the people of this country? They seem to have left their homes in a hurry, packed up nothing, and never returned. ”

"It's even stranger to think of the fact that there are no tombs. ”

The author, Mr. Joseph, also said that when the ruins were first discovered, he even thought that the inhabitants had evaporated in an instant. ”

Crane stopped his pen and set his sights on an illustration.

It was a black-and-white photograph taken by John Joseph on his third trip to the main peak of Hornachis with a new camera.

In the photo, the palace is majestic, with collapsed walls and overgrown weeds, and the style is mainly grandiose.

When he turned to this photo just now, Klein instantly remembered the palace he saw in his dream:

The style of the two tends to be the same, except that the one I dreamed of is located at the top of the peak, which is more magnificent, and there is a huge seat that does not belong to human beings at the top, and there are countless transparent maggots hugging together and wriggling slowly.

I can confirm that my dream is related to the ancient ruins of the main peak of Honakis...... That should be the Night Nation mentioned in Antigonus's family notes...... Crane nodded imperceptibly and closed the book.

At this time, Azk sat down opposite him, touched the inconspicuous black mole under his right ear and said:

"How's it going?"

"Quite a few, you see, I took many pages of notes. Crane grinned, pointing to the table.

"I don't understand why you're suddenly interested in this. Azik sighed casually, and then said, "Crane, when I was in college in Beckland, I came into contact with some divination things, and I have a certain amount of research in this area, well, I found that there is something incongruous in your fate. ”

As a "soothsayer", Klein looked at the Azik instructor opposite him with a smile and said:

"What's the incongruity?"

Azik thought for a moment and said:

"In the last two months, you haven't often encountered coincidences. ”

"Coincidental things?" Because of the favor of Mr. Azik, Klein did not resist the other party's question, and subconsciously began to recall:

If it is a coincidence, the most obvious thing is that when chasing the kidnappers, they found clues to the notes of the Antigonus family who had been missing for several days across from the room where they were hiding.

Also, it is a bit counterintuitive for Riel Bieber to find a place to digest the power given by the note before he escaped Tingen, so that the seal "2-049" could easily track his whereabouts...... Although Mr. Al Hazen explained it well, I always felt that there was some coincidence......

Well, Selena peeked at Haynas Vancente's secret spell and endured it until her birthday dinner before trying it, and it happened to be a bit of a coincidence that I found out...... Otherwise, Henus Vincent wouldn't have died abruptly......

Klein thought seriously for a few minutes and said:

"There are three, not too many, not too often, and there is no trace of other people interfering and directing. ”

Azk bowed his head lightly and said:

"Russell the Great said that anyone will meet a simple coincidence, and two times is also a normal category, and three times you must think about what internal factors are guiding you. ”

"Can you see anything?" Crane asked tentatively.

Azik laughed, shook his head and replied:

"I can only see a little incongruity, nothing else, you know, I'm not really a soothsayer. ”

Doesn't that mean saying it means not saying it...... Mr. Azik is a little strange...... Pretend to be a god in front of me...... Klein let out a sigh and took advantage of the other party's opportunity to get up, pinched his eyebrows, and turned on his vision.

At a glance, Azik's aura was all reflected in his eyes, and everything was normal.

It's a pity that I can only see the depths of other people's etheric bodies and the surface of astral spirits above the gray mist...... Klein tapped his eyebrows, stood up, and thought leisurely.
