After dinner, Klein, who had eaten and drunk to his heart's content, sat down leisurely on the sofa in the living room and cut open the letter sent by his mentor with a knife.

At this time, Melissa sat at the dining table, diligently working on the exercises in the book, by the light of the gas lamp, while Benson snuggled up on the single sofa and read the "Elementary Accounting Course".

Shaking off the full three pages of the letter, Klein looked over with some expectation and some fear:

“...... It's a pleasure to hear from you, it reminds me of the last few years of my life, and unfortunately Welch and Naya have left us forever ......"

"I attended their funerals separately and felt the great grief of their parents, two young people who should have a brilliant and beautiful future......"

"Fate is always unpredictable, no one can know what will befall us in the next moment, the older I get, the more things I see, the more I can feel the vulnerability and helplessness of being human. ”

“...... With regard to the historical information you mentioned on the main peak of Honakis, I remember that the archaeologist Mr. John Joseph once published a monograph describing in detail what he had seen and heard about the main peak of the Hornachis Mountains, and he found several ancient structures dating back more than 1,000 years. ”

"To the shame of every historian and archaeologist, we lack the means to accurately date the building, and can only make rough judgments based on the style of the building, the characteristics of the frescoes, and the small number of recognizable texts. ”

"It's hard to believe that there could be a human settlement on such a high mountain. Mr. Joseph has ample evidence that mankind has developed its own civilization, a unique civilization, and the exact circumstances are difficult to describe in the letter, and I suggest that you go to the Deville Library to try if you can borrow the monograph, and believe me, the library donated by Sir DeVille has a larger collection of books than the one set up by the city hall. ”

The title of that monograph was "A Study of the Ancient Ruins of the Main Peak of Honaches" and it was published by the Rune Publishing House. ”

"In addition, there are some papers that mention the relevant situation, which have been published in journals such as New Archaeology and Archaeological Review, with the specific name and issue number of ......"

......

Klein read word by word, and silently read the names of the monographs and papers mentioned by his tutor several times.

Immediately afterward, he pulled out the letterhead, found the pen, and expressed his gratitude in writing.

"Melissa, you help me send this letter tomorrow, it's postage. Klein put the enclosed letter and the excess postage next to his sister's book.

Melissa glanced at it, pursed her lips and said:

"Klein, postage doesn't need to be that much. ”

"Yes, the postage doesn't need to be that much, but girls need a certain amount of pocket money. Crane smiled in response, "I think Selena should have told you that." ”

Seeing that Melissa was still a little resistant, he hurriedly added:

"It helps you buy the materials you want, the tools you want. ”

"Tool ......," Melissa repeated in a low voice, her eyes moving to the book, and nodding imperceptibly, "Okay." ”

The corners of Klein's mouth turned up, and he walked briskly back to the couch.

"Excellent persuasion to pinpoint Melissa's weaknesses. Benson gave a thumbs up and laughed in a low voice.

Klein cleared his throat and replied solemnly:

"How can I convince you, then, that the focus of your self-study should be on grammar and classical literature, and of course basic mathematics and logic should be equally important. ”

Based on the curriculum of public schools and grammar schools, and based on the content of university entrance exams, Klein can almost grasp the general direction of the "civil service examination" that has not yet been born.

Benson touched his hairline and laughed at himself:

"In front of those books, I felt like a curly-haired baboon. ”

"But they are really useful enough. Klein said with a determined smile.

At this moment, Melissa put down her pen, stood up, walked to the sofa and said:

"Benson, Klein, this Sunday is Selena's birthday, and she and her parents want to invite our family to dinner, are you free?"

"I shouldn't have a problem. Klein thought for a moment.

I also happen to be able to meet friends who know my sister, so that if something happens to Melissa in the future, I won't find anyone to ask!

"Me too. Benson brushed his fingers through his hair and said, "Looks like we're going to have to think about a birthday present for Miss Selena." ”

Klein smiled and said:

"It's up to Melissa, she knows Miss Selena better than we do, and what we need to do is what a gentleman does, pay. ”

"It's the first time I've heard someone describe laziness so nicely. Benson shook his head and chuckled.

Klein smiled back:

"That's where grammar and classical literature come in. ”

"......" Benson didn't expect the topic to come back again, and he couldn't find the language to deal with it for a while.

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

The next day, Crane climbed the stairs step by step, dressed in his original cheap formal suit, carrying a black silver-studded cane, to the door of the Black Thorn Security Company—his tuxedo had been sent to the cloakshop to be mended.

Crane was about to say hello to Roseanne when he saw Captain Dunn walk out of the partition.

"Good morning, Klein, did you sleep well last night?" asked Dunn with concern.

Klein replied truthfully:

"It's better than I imagined, I didn't have nightmares, but when I remember it, it's still a little heavy and a little nauseous. ”

"Good, I can rest assured. Dunn smiled and nodded.

After chatting again, he took the initiative to mention:

"The Templar has replied to my telegram, telling El and Lorotta to send the seal '2-049' to Beckland at once, along with the notes of the Antigonus family, and to send another night watchman to help by steam train yesterday afternoon. ”

"I think they should have gone by now. ”

Is that meant that I had completely escaped the shadow of the Antigonus family notes? Klein was stunned, and there was a feeling that it was not real enough, as if he were dreaming.

It's a lot easier than you think......

There shouldn't be a follow-up, right?

"May the Goddess bless them and may they have all the best on their journey. After a few seconds, Crane drew a Crimson Moon logo on his chest.

Dunn put on his hat and pointed to the door:

"I've got to go and visit Raphael's cemetery, oh, forget one thing, Leonard and the police have found some success in tracking down the members of the Esoteric Order, finding the coachman who carried them, and identifying their temporary residence in the city of Tingen, but they were quite cautious and left no particularly valuable clues. ”

"It's an ancient hidden organization. Klein echoed with emotion.

Dunn nodded, turned and walked to the door.

After three seconds, he stopped, turned back and said:

"Also, it may take two to three days for the Templars to respond to your application to become a full member, hehe, this is under the jurisdiction of different departments and the matter of the Antigonus family's notes, and the efficiency is not the same. ”

"I see. Klein replied sincerely.

At the same time, he silently added one thing to the captain in his heart:

Remember to submit a claim today!

As Dunn departed, Klein heard the surprised voice of the brown-haired girl Roshan:

"Goddess, are you going to be a full member, Klein, I remember you joined us less than a month!"

Klein smiled and said:

"After I took the 'Fortune Teller' potion, this was already something that was sure to come. ”

"Makes sense......," Roseanne paused for a few seconds, then suddenly lamented, "I'm still praying that you will complete the occult course as soon as possible and join the roster of the rotating arsenal, and the result will be ...... Goddess, I have to be on duty every two days, I'm not a sleeper! my skin, my state, Goddess, save me!"

"Aren't you supposed to be used to this kind of life, and before I joined, you were always on duty with Bright and Old Neil, right?" Klein asked in confusion.

Luo Shan shook her head sadly and said:

"No, it was four before, five earlier, but unfortunately, Kornli chose to become the 'sleepless', Viola did not renew her contract last month and joined Hoynoll Machinery, she is a very talented girl in manufacturing, but she lacks opportunities and money, and five years of civilian life has given her enough accumulation. ”

Speaking of this, Roshan glanced at Klein suddenly, covered his mouth and smiled:

"I've thought of a good idea, Klein, you get married as soon as possible, and then accidentally expose the secret of the Extraordinary to her, this is a very minor leak, and there will be no particularly serious punishment, after all, no one can hide the person who sleeps in the same bed for a long time. When the time comes, you'll be able to introduce her to us as a civilian!

The corners of Klein's mouth moved slightly:

"Miss Rosan, you can also find a husband as soon as possible, it should be easier, I believe you have enough means to divulge the secret to him. ”

When Luo Shan heard this, his eyes widened, and his mouth was half-open, and he said:

Marriage is a very serious matter, which must be carefully observed, carefully selected, and verified with a certain amount of time. ”

That's not what you just said...... Crane didn't reason with Miss Rothanne, smiled and exchanged a few pleasantries, and took his leave and went underground.

When he arrived at the arsenal, he saw old Neil tossing and grinding coffee, so he sat down and waited patiently.

"You should be on the verge of becoming a full-fledged member, right?" asked Old Neil casually as he filtered.

"The captain said it would take another two to three days, and he didn't know if the Templar would approve it. Klein replied calmly.

"Hey. Old Neil laughed, "The Templars won't veto this kind of thing, especially if you've become extraordinary. ”

Speaking of this, he turned his head, looked at Klein with a smile and said:

"You have to be mentally prepared that every official member of the Night Watch must go through a ritual to complete a task independently, and of course, Dunn will definitely choose the very easy and simple kind for newcomers, and you are also a support soothsayer. ”
