Chapter 142: Hiding in the Dark
On his way from Bercolnd Street to St. Samuel's Church, Klein passed by the Rune Charity Scholarship at 22 Pesfield Street and was surprised to find that it was still open.
As the initiator and current director, he has a considerable degree of concern about this, and he has put forward and turned around.
As soon as he entered the door, Klein saw Miss Audrey coming down from the second floor, followed by a valet maid, a golden retriever, and a few staff members.
"Good afternoon, there doesn't seem to be anything here to hold on to in this situation. Crane greeted him and voiced his doubts.
With the newspaper in her hand, Audrey looked at Daun Dantès and said:
"Several of the beneficiaries were injured in the airstrike, and I just visited them and arranged for follow-up treatment. ”
The aristocratic lady's eyes were faintly red, as if she had seen all kinds of things in the hospital that made it difficult to hide her grief.
"May the Goddess bless them. Crane understood, and drew a crimson moon on his chest.
He took the opportunity to say what he had prepared for a long time:
"I plan to donate some more money to the foundation to buy food, medicine and medical equipment, so that we can do more in this man-made disaster. ”
"A great idea, and those who are suffering will be grateful to you, Mr. Dantès. Audrey also tapped four times clockwise on her chest, her eyes revealing obvious joy and pity, "I will do my best." ”
She doesn't just want to donate, she has to organize things.
Klein nodded and said:
"There is no need to praise me, at times like this, I just did one thing that I was supposed to do.
"In addition to donations, I will also donate food, and you will negotiate directly with my butler, Walter, well, Miss Audrey, I can write you a power of attorney now, so that you can mobilize the resources of Rose Gor Manor in my name. ”
"And what about you, Mr. Dantès?" asked Audrey, vaguely guessing.
This is the most normal reaction in this context now.
"I received a notice from the church to help them do something, what it is, I haven't been to St. Samuel's Church yet, I don't know yet, the only thing that is certain is that I have to travel around lately, and there will be no way to return to Rose Ge Manor for a long time. Klein said the reason he had made up before, "Miss Audrey, this time of getting along with the Foundation has made me understand your character and ability, and your origin and status also determine your vision and pattern, entrusting you with this aspect is the best way I can think of." ”
Klein didn't expect his lies to fool a veteran "audience", he was only trying to deceive the people around "Just" Audrey, well, not including the dog.
Is Mr. "World" going to give up the identity of Dawn Dantès for the time being, so that he can hide and do something? Audrey pretended to be thinking with some understanding, and after a few seconds of silence, she said:
"In this situation, I can't refuse such a request. ”
Klein secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately asked his personal servant Enyoni to go upstairs to get paper and pens, and then in the presence of a group of staff, he personally drafted a power of attorney, signed his name, pressed his handprint, and stamped his seal.
After doing all this, Klein set his sights on the newspaper in Audrey's hand:
"Is there anything else going on? I had just returned from outside the city, and I heard the newsboy shouting that the kingdom had declared war on Fersak. ”
Audrey pursed her lips and said with a slightly gloomy expression:
"Not long after the Frisak airship formation attacked Beckland, their Sunia Sea Fleet took advantage of the dense fog to attack the Royal Navy base on Oak Island in Port Pletz and the shipyards in the surrounding area, thankfully, the Church of the Storm was warned in advance and sent a telegram in advance, and Port Prydz was not lost, but only lost a lot of ships and factories, and it is said that many people were killed and seriously injured......"
"This is the ...... war," Crane sighed, "Can you show me how the king declared war?"
Audrey knew that King George III had a problem, and could hear the mockery hidden in Mr. World's words, so she did not refuse, and handed over the newspaper in her hand.
This is a Tasok newspaper.
And Klein didn't need to expand it, he saw the king's declaration of war directly on the front page:
“...... Seven hundred and eight years ago, the Fersaks took the island of Sunia from us,
"A year ago, the people of Fersak robbed us of half of our interests in East Bailang,
"Today, they bombed Beckland and attacked the port of Prietz, killing and wounding many Runnes and staining the land with blood.
"We can't back down anymore, we can only get bullying from the Fursaks again and again, and if we retreat, we will lose all our profits overseas, a large number of products will not be sold, countless workers will lose their jobs, and more farmers will go bankrupt!
“......
"Everything in the past and present shows that justice is in our hands and that we have enough strength to take on a complete victory.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I, your Emperor, George III, on behalf of the House of Commons, and on behalf of the Government of the Kingdom, declare war on Fersak, and we will not cease to advance unless they raise the white flag and raise their hands in surrender!
"Forward, reclaim the island of Resurrectionia! Forward, take St. Millon!
"Victory will be ours, and the gods will be with us!"
Klein took a quick look at it, using the ability of "Joker" to control the movement of curling the corners of his mouth.
He then returned the "Tassock Newspaper" in his hand to Audrey, took off his hat, and saluted:
"The rest of the matter is for you. ”
"Please rest assured. Audrey took the power of attorney and the newspaper and returned the salute.
Klein did not delay any longer, and left the "Rune Charity Scholarship Fund" with his personal servant, Enyuni, and came to St. Samuel's Church.
By this time, the church was devoid of believers, and most of them had returned to their homes, busy preparing for life after the war began.
In the dark and quiet environment, Crane found a place to sit down, took off his hat, clasped his hands, put them in front of his mouth and nose, whispered the honorific name of the "Goddess of the Night", and then said:
“...... I have received news from the evil spirit of the 'Red Angel' that Zarathu is likely to have come to Bakeland, and that the secret ruins of the 'Blood Emperor' are most likely the tombs needed for the 'Black Emperor' ceremony......"
After finishing the prayer, Klein waited patiently for a while, and saw Archbishop Anthony Stevenson enter through the side door and walk towards him.
The sage had a clean face, no beard, and wore a black robe with the red moon emblem, and walked without making a sound, as if it were slowly descending into the night.
Approaching Dawn Dantès, Anthony did not speak, but gestured with his eyes, and then turned to the library.
Crane then got up, put on his hat, and followed in silence.
As for his valet Enyuni, he took his cane and walked to the door of the church, where he waited.
Outside the library, Archbishop Anthony turned around, smiled slightly, and said to Daun Dantès:
"War has broken out, there are so many things that need to be done, as a devout follower of the goddess, are you willing to offer some help?"
Really...... It seems that Ms. Arianna has left Bakeland...... Crane sighed as he drew the crimson moon on his chest:
"It is my pleasure to praise the Goddess. ”
Immediately after responding, he asked:
"What do you need me to do?"
"I'll let you know when there's something going on, and you don't want to go home during this time. Sage Anthony said in unreasonable words.
And Klein instantly understood what the other party meant, that is, to hide first, and this side has no energy to deal with Zarathu for the time being, at most to provide protection within a certain range.
As I thought, the goddess is digesting the "uniqueness" of the "Death" path, and the gods will not be able to descend for a long time, and the upper echelons of the church will have to deal with war, and the negative effects of the "0" level seals are becoming more terrifying than the other...... Klein nodded slightly:
"Yes, Your Excellency. ”
"May the Goddess bless you. "St. Anthony painted the Crimson Moon.
"Praise the Goddess, the only place to go is peace. Klein gestured expertly in response.
He then left the church of St. Samuel and turned into another street with his valet.
After walking like this for a while, at some point, Dawn Dantès and Nyuni were gone.
............
East End, inside a two-bedroom rental home.
Crane, who had a plain face, took out the adventurer's harmonica, brought it to his mouth, and blew it.
Soon, Renette Tinicol, with four blonde red-eyed heads, walked out of the void, not surprised by her new appearance as a contractor.
Klein didn't give a letter, and said directly:
"Tell Miss Sharon and Marić that Zarathu has come to Beckland, and that he is likely to be in contact with the Rose School, and that they must be careful, and that it is best not to go to the 'Brave' bar again in the near future. ”
"Zarathu......" This time, Renette Tinicol spoke all four of her heads at the same time, and it seemed that it took a certain amount of effort to remember who it was.
"The leader of the Esoteric Order, the Angel of Sequence 1 who once went crazy and is now normal. Crane pulled out a gold coin and handed it to Miss Courier.
He didn't say that Zarathu was interested in Gelman Sparrow, believing that Miss Messenger, a high-ranking spiritual creature, could have sensed her specialness to a certain extent, otherwise the angel would not have had to surrender herself as a messenger - if it was for the "yesterday to reappear" charm, he could have helped in a more dignified way.
As for the reason why Zarathu didn't find the breath of gray fog in the misty town, but was interested in Gelman Sparrow, Klein believes that there are three reasons, one is that the extraordinary convergence of the gray fog itself made this powerful "soothsayer" come to Beckland and predict something, the second is that Gelman Sparrow can leave the misty town and return to the real world after getting the wrong symbol, and the third is that Gelman Sparrow may be related to the organization that believes in "fools".
When Zarathu came into contact with the Rose School and discovered that the "Mother Tree of Desire" also had a certain interest in Gelman Sparrow, even if there was no guess in the direction in his heart, the importance of it would skyrocket.
Renette Tinicol didn't say anything more, and one of her heads swung forward, biting the gold coin.
After seeing the messenger leave, Klein pulled up a chair and sat down, looking at the sky outside the window through a wooden desk.
The layout of the rental house is the same as the one he had lived in in Tingen, with a bedroom inside, a living room, dining room and study outside, and a bunk bed.
At this time, in addition to him, there were also secret puppets Chunas and secret puppets Enyuni in the room.
