Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Gift
In the light and soothing melody, Klein and Hazel are dancing, one of them is tall, the other is slender and tall, except that the age gap seems a little big, whether it is the rhythm of the movements, or the temperament and appearance, they are very compatible, extremely beautiful, and can almost be used as a demonstration teaching.
Klein took the initiative to break the silence, and in a light turn, he said casually:
"I always had nightmares some time ago, but fortunately I was blessed by the goddess, and after praying in church a few times and drinking a few glasses of holy water, I stopped waking up in the middle of the night. β
Hazel raised her eyes in silence, and after an interval of two seconds, she said:
"What kind of nightmare?"
Would be interested in this topic...... Will Unsetin said nothing wrong...... Klein responded with a smile:
"In an abandoned and dilapidated church, and then chased by various monsters.
"But you should also know what happened in your dreams, and I can't describe what those monsters look like. β
Hazel didn't speak, but her bright dark brown eyes were filled with disapproval.
In other words, she thinks that the things in the dream are not necessarily impossible to remember.
Klein hugged her and took a diagonal step, and said with a smile:
"It's true that I've had very clear dreams before.
"At that time, I was still in the Southern Continent, and I dreamed of an upside-down mausoleum, which was made of pitch-black boulders, extending to the ground, and a living corpse covered with white feathers came out to capture me.
"I had a similar dream for several days in a row, and it was a bit embarrassing to say, so I was so frightened that I hurried to a nearby city, found a club of soothsayers, and asked them to help me interpret the dream, and came to the conclusion that I might have offended a tribe's belief in death when I was buying a souvenir.
"Strangely, when I went to that tribe to apologize, give gifts, and participate in one of their celebrations, I never had that dream again. β
The above content is all made up by him from the perspective of a soothsayer, in order to arouse Hazel's interest to see if she will unconsciously reveal something, and at the same time, this is also a subtle, non-suspicious suggestion, the implication is that if Hazel is troubled by a dream, it is best to find a member of the soothsayer's club or a church priest to interpret the dream, do not blindly believe the content of the dream, and try it recklessly.
- When Will Unsetin mentions that HΓ©zel has a bit of a problem and can talk to her about dreams, Klein suspects that the contradiction shown by the other party may be due to continuous dreams, otherwise it is difficult to explain why she has at least Sequence 8 strength, but she is seriously lacking in common sense and blind arrogance in the mysterious world, and besides, she is an upper-class lady who has received family education, and it should be difficult to get in touch with wild, unexplained extraordinary, after all, her father belongs to the House of Commons who will definitely be protected, and there should be no shortage of extraordinary people around herγ
Therefore, Klein thinks that Hazel is likely to have come into contact with some object, or because of personality problems, which strong person has taken a fancy to, and through the way of dreams, he is guided step by step to become an extraordinary person, without giving the necessary common sense, and at the same time, he also lures her to dig in the sewers to find something.
There are two factors that make him more sure of this speculation, one is Will Unsetin's words, and the other is that Sequence 5 of the "Thief" path is called "Dream Stealer", which will not and cannot only have an extraordinary ability to steal action thoughts!
After listening quietly to what Daugen Dantès had to say, Hazel's mouth opened subconsciously, closed it again, and after nearly ten seconds did he say:
"Why didn't you go to the Goddess's church at that time?"
Sure enough, there was a reaction to the topic of dreams, but it was quite cautious and didn't reveal anything...... Klein smiled bitterly and said:
"There is no church of the goddess in the vicinity, and it belongs to the area where the gods of steam and machines are worshipped. β
Hazel did not continue the conversation, returning her attention to the dance itself, as if she was already immersed in the music.
Klein was equally quiet, wandering with the girl to a beautiful melody.
At the end of the dance, he returned Hazel to his original position, and then went to the table area out of thirst to grab a cup of sweet iced tea.
At this time, he saw Bishop Elektra enjoying red wine there.
Unlike the Church of the Storm and the Church of the God of War, the clergy of the Goddess of the Night are not allowed to drink alcohol, and must refuse to distill spirits, and can drink champagne, beer, and red and white wine in small quantities.
"How's it going? this must be your first time at such a grand ball?" said Bishop Elektra with a smile and raised his glass.
Klein responded with a smile:
"It's troublesome, it's also, um, fun, and the biggest problem is that it's always tiring to do so many dances in one go, sweating all the time, wanting to drink water. β
Bishop Elektra laughed:
"Come to Beckland, don't cut back on your physical workouts, sometimes social situations are more tiring than you think. β
Speaking of this, he said with a teasing expression:
"Lady Aulori is quite complimented on you, thinking that your inside is enough to match your appearance. β
...... Thank you for her affirmation...... Crane couldn't find any other way to deal with it for a while, so he could only respond jokingly:
"A person's inner self is not something that can be seen by a dance. β
Without waiting for Bishop Elektra to smile in the way that all men understand, he turned to say:
"Bishop, I am a little concerned that I have recently meddled in a business that may offend some powerful gentleman. β
He was referring to the Coim company and Baron Sindras.
Bishop Elektra took a sip of wine and said:
"Don't worry, Beckland is a place where the law is spoken, and besides, the goddess will protect you. β
"Then I'll be relieved, praise the goddess!" Klein carefully drew a crimson moon on his chest.
When Bishop Elektra reached the dance floor, his gaze sank and he sighed silently.
It's not that he's afraid and hateful of anything, but he feels a little guilty, at least for now, the Night Church has treated him well, although it has money, but it does give a lot of help, and even willing to provide a certain amount of protection, but he is planning how to deal with the internal caretaker, how to steal items from the sealing core behind the Chanis Gate.
Hey, if this plan has to take a long time to complete, then it is really necessary to do psychotherapy regularly, otherwise there will be mental problems...... Crane looked at his emotions and shook his head imperceptibly.
............
Joewood District, inside a house.
Hugh put the Fenerport pie and the Diece Bay Sweet Iced Tea on the table, and said to Folth:
"It's not a food that you should eat often, it's not very healthy. β
"Why do you say that?" said Furth, taking a bite of a pie encrusted with fruit and ham.
"As seen in the magazine, as a bounty hunter, staying in shape is an essential thing. Hugh hesitated, but grabbed a piece of pie and brought it to his lips.
Furth sneered and said:
"You're a combat-oriented extraordinary, not an ordinary bounty hunter, and you don't have to be too deliberate to stay in shape.
"Perhaps, you're missing out on your last chance to grow taller, ah, yes, I've heard that the 'warrior' path is effective in making people taller, just look at the barbarians in Fursack. β
Hugh was stunned, and suddenly sighed:
"But I was born half an 'arbiter' and couldn't be a 'warrior'. β
Clearly, she had thought about it.
Seeing that his friend was recalled, Furth pretended not to say anything, and concentrated on his belated dinner.
When she had eaten and drunk enough, and was ready to clean up, she pulled Hugh into her bedroom, cleared her throat, and said:
"You've helped me a lot lately, and I've decided to give you a gift. β
"What's the trouble I need to do?" Hugh warily touched his short blonde hair.
"......" Firth blinked, and suddenly reflected on his usual state.
She laughed dryly twice and said:
"This is for before, before. β
Without waiting for Hugh to respond, she took out a square-shaped iron box in the other party's suspicious eyes, the kind that originally contained cigarettes.
"I don't smoke. Hugh shook his head.
With an "um", Furth opened the tin box, revealing the light blue translucent hexagonal prism inside.
Hugh's gaze froze suddenly, and he looked at the lightning-like light in the crystal, and instinctively asked:
"Interrogators?"
"Yes, I met a participant at a gathering of extraordinaries who sold it cheaply, and I was afraid of missing the opportunity, so I bought it. "As you know, I was rewarded by my teacher for something some time ago, and I don't lack this money. β
Hugh knew that her friend had been going out a lot lately, claiming to be doing things for the teacher, but she still couldn't believe that she could buy an extraordinary trait of the "Interrogator" as a gift for herself so easily, which really crossed too many levels of their original life status!
She is still gambling, and after becoming an "astrologer", she starts to win a lot of money? Or, at last, she takes aim at the bank's vault and relies on her ability to "open the door" to steal the money inside? Hugh flashed a lot of speculation in an instant, but he couldn't find any evidence of it.
After two or three seconds, she made a decision, which was to find two random days a week to pretend to go out and secretly observe what Furth was doing.
If she didn't believe in her friend's character and bottom line, she would even wonder if the other party had become the mistress of a powerful or rich person.
"It's, it's too precious. Hugh waved his hand, trying to refuse the gift.
Foirth had already thought of his words, and said with a smile:
"Anyway, I will have a lot of things to trouble you in the future, so let's take it as an advance payment. β
"We're good friends, we don't need to be paid. Hugh hesitated for a second, shook his head, and said.
Just wait for your words! Furth immediately laughed and said:
"Then it should be a birthday present for you in advance, and you are not allowed to refuse!"
"But I'm still ......more than half a year old on my birthday," Hugh muttered, finally reaching out and taking over the extraordinary characteristics of the "interrogator".
............
On Sunday morning, Hugh suppressed his excitement and anticipation, and went out as usual, preparing to go to a specific place to leave a corresponding secret note, and ask the masked man from MI9 to meet in the depths of a remote alley at night.
With the extraordinary characteristics of the "Interrogator", she only needs to get the correct formula to advance to Sequence 7 after digesting the "Sheriff" potion, and take a solid step in investigating the truth of the year and restoring the glory of the family, so she can't wait to take on a few more military missions and make up the merits as soon as possible.
After doing this, she plans to go around a few places in the East End to see if there is any important news, and then go home to follow Forth to find out what her friend has been doing lately and whether there is any danger.
However, as soon as she entered the Eastern End, she felt as if someone was eyeing her.
