Chapter 22 Invitation

Klein had already rehearsed the latter question about Bishop Elektra, and sighed after hearing the words:

"It's my father, a truly wise elder. Unfortunately, he passed away in an accident many years ago."

When he said these words, he integrated the feelings of the original owner's parents when they died, the emotions he accumulated when he was in a foreign land and could not go home, and the traces left by the experience in Tingen City, his tone seemed flat, with a little smile , but it has a sad but not sad and eternal flavor hidden.

"Sorry, he must have entered the Kingdom of God and slept peacefully under the gaze of the goddess." Bishop Elektra said sincerely, and tapped his chest four times clockwise, drawing a crimson moon.

Without waiting for Dwayne Dantès to respond, he looked at the other party and invited:

"The day after tomorrow there will be a moon mass for the dead to help them sleep in the kingdom of the goddess and gain eternal peace. I wonder if you are interested in participating?"

There are not many Boxing Days in the Evernight Goddess Church. The most important is the Winter Ritual Day, followed by the High Mass at the full moon, also called the Moon Mass, and then the normal Mass and prayers every Sunday. However, different parishes have different Churches have their own special Boxing Days due to their respective guardian saints or angels.

"This is exactly what I hope." Klein stood up and saluted, and said sincerely.

This allowed him to fully contact the pastors and bishops of St. Samuel's Church, and even establish a relationship with the bishop of the diocese, laying the foundation for future access to certain areas of the church.

At the same time, he once again felt why the "Dark Night" pathway can be interchanged with the "Reaper" pathway:

Both have the authority of peace, eternal sleep, darkness, etc., representing the end and the end!

Next, Maury Macht didn't talk about Dwayne Dantès' identity, experience, etc., as if he really just asked a random question just now, he chatted with his wife Liana about the past years. Klein, who had made up for the relevant matters and lived there for two days, responded in a local aboriginal tone about his vacation experience in Dixie Bay, focusing on sharing Dixie's characteristic grilled fish.

During this process, he also pretended to casually mention his hunting activities when he went to West Balam to do business, and he seemed to be very familiar with the primitive jungle there.

He is making some necessary preparations for the second layer of Dwayne Dantès' identity. West Balam is different from East Balam. Ruen and Intis have comparable colonial powers, and there are often conflicts. Even the actual control The areas in the area change from time to time, and it is not an easy task to track down the activities of a businessman or adventurer there, especially since Dwayne Dantès may be using a pseudonym.

As for the hunting experience in the primeval jungle of West Balam, Klein did not make it up at random, nor did he copy it from any magazine or newspaper. He was based on his own glorious deeds mentioned by Anderson, the strongest hunter in the Misty Sea. , extract the details, abandon the main body, and deduce it by itself, which is both true and false.

Hearing the thick boa constrictor in the jungle, the man-eating sharp-toothed fish, and the flowers that can catch their prey by themselves, Mrs. Macht's wife, Liana, exclaimed from time to time, looking scared and wanting to know more. As interested as the bishop, he couldn't help interrupting Dawn Dantès' description and asking for some details.

"You are such an excellent hunter! When I was serving in East Balam, I never had a chance to enter the jungle, and I never thought it would be so dangerous." After the middle-aged gentleman with a good manner on the opposite side finished speaking, Maury Macht picked up the A small piece of velvet cake, sincerely praised, "If there is a chance in the future, I would like to invite you to go hunting together."

While they were talking, the maid had brought afternoon tea snacks, and a servant was in charge of serving them.

Hearing the half-truth and half-fake invitation from Councilman Macht, Klein responded with a smile:

"I can't wait."

After chatting for a while, they talked about Backlund's air management situation. The three guests bid farewell. Since they met just now, they were not familiar with each other. Klein didn't keep him.

sent them to the door.

Watching the bishop, the congressman, and the congressman's wife leave, the smile on Klein's face gradually faded, but it didn't completely disappear.

He is quite satisfied with the current progress. Bishop Elektra is connected to the Evernight Goddess Church, which is the main purpose of his return to Backlund this time. Councilor Maury Macht is a retired soldier, and the current councilor has no The doubts belonged to one or several officer clubs, which would help him continue to investigate the Backlund Great Smog Incident.

The next step is to deepen the connection little by little... Klein returned to the small living room and saw that the maid had taken away the remaining snacks and black tea.

He was going to eat some more...

——Regardless of other foods, Ruen, especially Backlund's desserts are quite outstanding, and the chef invited by Dawn Dantès is especially good at this field, even Mrs. Liana just now They all praised this repeatedly, and Klein also deeply agreed in his heart.

Looking back, Klein did not speak, and walked steadily towards the stairs leading to the third floor.

Before dinner, the housekeeper Walter finally returned home and reported to him about the 10% stake in Backlund Bicycle Company:

"Sir, we are lucky enough. Someone hired professional lawyers and accountants to investigate the situation of the Backlund Bicycle Company, and provided an offer to the seller before the advertisement was published, but in the subsequent negotiations, there was a buyer with a higher bid. Intervening, he was unable to continue and could only give up.

"In this way, we don't have to wait for the investigation report, and we can directly hire the original team."

Klein nodded, and asked without concealment:

"What's the price now?"

"The buyer who gave up offered 6,000 pounds, and the psychological bottom line is 7,000 pounds. The seller did not disclose the situation of the other buyers, but judging from various feedbacks, it is at least 8,000 pounds."

8,000 pounds, not bad... Do you want to raise your hand again? Wouldn't it be embarrassing if I raised the price a little bit and the other party just gave up? Klein nodded lightly and said:

"Give me the corresponding report, and I'll think about it."

After reading the report and eating dinner, in order to establish a wealthy but shrewd image of a practical man, Klein turned his head to Richardson and said:

"Prepare the two-wheeled carriage, I'm going out for a trip."

He originally thought that Richardson would ask why it was a two-wheeled carriage in surprise, which was not decent, but the personal servant just flashed a little doubt and responded respectfully:

"Okay, sir."

Obeying orders, regardless of why, is considered an advantage... Klein secretly sighed, waiting for Richardson to come back and help him put on his coat.

After getting into the two-wheeled carriage, he directly ordered:

"Go around the Backlund Bridge area and the edge of the Eastern District."

Richardson still didn't ask the purpose, but asked the coachman to handle the horse carefully.

The carriage passed through the Jowood area, and arrived at the Backlund Bridge area under the illumination of gas street lamps.

Klein didn't say where he was going, but just let the coachman shuttle freely in the nearby streets.

Leaning against the wall of the compartment, he looked out at the street, and saw pedestrians walking with old clothes and tired faces, as if they had just finished a busy day and were rushing home for dinner. Occasionally, there would be a car The bell-ringing bicycle passed by and rushed to the distance nimbly. Compared with the pedestrians, the expression of the rider was more vigorous, overflowing with an indescribable pride.

The very intuitive level division, although it is only the difference between skilled workers and ordinary workers, the difference between a weekly salary of 1~2 pounds and less than 1 pound... Klein slowly exhaled, subconsciously looked up at the sky.

At this time, Backlund has completely entered the night, but the smog is not serious, and it can penetrate through it, and many bright stars can be seen.

After the smog incident, environmental governance is really getting better every day... But the situation of the lower-class workers in the Eastern District does not seem to have changed too much. Although the wages may be higher and the working hours have also been improved to a certain extent, the former Due to the influx of a large number of people, prices in all aspects have risen to a certain extent, which has been offset by a large part. The degree of change in the latter is quite limited. At most, it has been shortened from the original 15 or 16 hours to 11 or 12 hours...

If there is any problem, focus on solving it, and treat it as nothing before it breaks out... Well, the kingdom is still undergoing internal reforms, and many things have not been straightened out... Klein watched with wandering thoughts until the carriage left Jowood Area.

…………

On the "Future", "Admiral of the Stars" Cattleya stood behind the window of the captain's cabin, watching Frank Lee push a wooden barrel into the shadow, put something in it, and then tightly cover it.

He seems to be studying the growth of plants in a dark environment recently... How did he suddenly become normal? Cattleya frowned suspiciously, always worried that Frank Lee was brewing a big "invention".

Let Nina ask later... She just had such a thought, and suddenly she was inspired, and turned her head to see an extra letter on the desk.

With a faint smile unconsciously drawn on her face, Cattleya walked over, opened the letter, and quickly browsed through it:

"There are two Obnis that don't belong to the Church of Storms near the 'Abyss Whirlpool' just north of Sonia Island...

"Find the direct descendants of the Abraham family...

"well-done."

"Abyss vortex" is the name of a dangerous sea area, not an abyss.

The Abraham family... Cattleya thought about it for a while, but couldn't find a clue, so she planned to ask at the next Tarot gathering.

…………

The next morning, Klein, who had carefully predicted whether to raise the price once, said to the housekeeper Walter:

"Hire that team, continue to negotiate, my base price is 9,000 pounds."

"Okay, sir." Walter apologized immediately, "something happened at my family, I hope I can have a half-day vacation in advance."

"No problem, do you need help?" Klein asked gently.

"Thank you for your kindness. I can solve it, and it's not in a hurry. I will deal with the equity negotiation first." Walter said sincerely.

Klein didn't ask any more, nodded, and approved his vacation.

After Mr. Butler left the room, Klein turned his head to Richardson and said:

"Did Walter see anyone this morning?"

"Mr. Steward has received a letter." Richardson replied without concealment.
