Chapter 80 Invitation to the Dinner Party

After dinner, Klein sat leisurely on the sofa in the living room and cut open the letter sent by his mentor with a knife.

At this time, Melissa was sitting at the dining table, under the light of the gas lamp, diligently calculating the exercises in the book, while Benson was nestling on the single sofa, holding "Elementary Accounting Course" and reading.

Shaking open the three pages of letter paper, Klein looked at it with some anticipation and some fear:

"...great to hear from you, it reminds me of the past few years, unfortunately Welch and Naya are gone forever..."

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

"Fate is always unpredictable, and no one can know what will befall us at the next moment. The older I get and the more things I have seen, the more I can feel the vulnerability and helplessness as a human being."

"...As for the historical data on the main peak of the Hornages you mentioned, I remember that the archaeologist Mr. John Joseph once published a monograph, describing in detail what he saw on the main peak of the Hornages, He found several ancient buildings, more than a thousand years ago."

"What shames every historian and archaeologist is that we lack a precise way of locating the age. We can only make rough judgments based on the style of the building, the characteristics of the murals, and a small number of identifiable texts."

"It's hard to believe that there are human settlements on such a high mountain. Mr. Joseph has sufficient evidence to show that those human beings have developed their own civilization, a unique civilization. The specific situation is very detailed in the letter. It's hard to describe, but I suggest you go to the Deville Library and try to see if you can get that monograph, and believe me, the library donated by Sir Deville has a larger collection of books than the one set up by the city government."

"The name of that monograph is "Research on the Ancient Ruins of the Main Peak of Hornakis", published by the Ruen People Press."

"In addition, there are some papers that mentioned related situations, which were published in journals such as "New Archaeology" and "Archaeology Review", with the specific names and issue numbers..."

...

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

Immediately afterwards, he dug out the stationery, found a pen, and expressed his gratitude in written language.

"Melissa, send me this letter tomorrow. This is the postage." Klein put the packaged letter and the excess postage next to his sister's book.

Melissa glanced at it, pursed her lips and said:

"Klein, the postage doesn't need so much."

"Yes, the postage doesn't need so much, but girls need some pocket money." Klein responded with a smile, "I think Selena should have told you this."

Seeing that Melissa was still somewhat resistant, he hurriedly added:

"It helps you get the materials you want, the tools you want."

"Tools..." Melissa repeated in a low voice, moving her eyes to the book, and nodded faintly, "Okay."

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

"Excellent persuasion, accurately found Melissa's weakness." Benson gave a thumbs up, lowered his voice and laughed.

Klein cleared his throat and replied solemnly:

"Then how should I convince you? Your self-study should focus on grammar and classics, but of course basic math and logic are equally important."

According to the curriculum of public schools and grammar schools, and according to the content of the university entrance examination, Klein could almost grasp the general direction of the yet-to-be-born "civil service examination".

Benson touched his hairline and laughed at himself:

"I felt like a curly baboon in front of those books."

"But they are useful enough.

" Klein said with a firm smile.

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

"Benson, Klein, this Sunday is Selena's birthday. She and her parents want to invite our family to a dinner party. Are you free?"

"I should be fine." Klein thought for a while.

It just so happens that I can meet friends who know my sister, so that I won't find anyone to inquire about what happened to Melissa in the future!

"Me too." Benson combed his hair with his fingers. "Looks like we have to think about a birthday present for Miss Selena."

Klein smiled and said:

"This matter is left to Melissa. She knows Miss Selena better than us, and all we need to do is what a gentleman should do and 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 what grammar and classics do."

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

…………

The next day, Klein wore his original cheap formal suit, carrying a black cane inlaid with silver, and climbed the stairs step by step to the door of the Blackthorn Security Company—his tuxedo had been sent to the coat shop to be repaired.

Klein was about to say hello to Roshan when he suddenly saw Captain Dunn walking out of the partition.

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

Klein answered truthfully:

"Better than I imagined, I didn't even have nightmares, but when I recalled it, it was still a little heavy and a little disgusting."

"Very good, I can rest assured." Dunn smiled and nodded.

After chatting again, he took the initiative to mention:

"The sanctuary has replied to my telegram, asking El and Lorota to immediately send the Sealed Artifact '2-049' together with the Antigonus family's notes to Backlund, and send another night watchman. Came here yesterday afternoon on the steam train to help."

"I think they should have left by now."

Already set off? Does that mean I'm completely free from the shadow of the Antigonus family notes? Klein was stunned, as if it was not real enough, as if he was dreaming.

This is much easier than I imagined...

Shouldn't there be a sequel?

"May the goddess bless them, and may they have a smooth journey." After a few seconds, Klein drew a crimson moon logo on his chest.

Dunn put on his hat, pointed to the door and said:

"I have to visit Raphael's cemetery. Oh, forget one thing. Leonard and the police department have achieved certain results in their investigation of the members of the Secret Order. They have found the coachman who carried them, and confirmed that they are in Temporary settlements in Tingen, but they were quite cautious and left no particularly valuable clues."

"As expected of an ancient secret organization." Klein echoed with emotion.

Dunn nodded and turned to the door.

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

"Also, it may take two to three days for the Sanctuary to respond to your application to become a full member. Haha, this is under the jurisdiction of different departments from 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 reimbursement request today!

Watching Dunn leave, Klein heard the surprised voice of the brown-haired girl Roshan:

"Goddess, Klein, are you going to become a full member? I remember it's been less than a month since you joined us!"

Klein smiled and said:

"After I took the 'divine' potion, this is already something that will definitely come."

"It makes sense..." Luo Shan stayed for a few seconds, and suddenly lamented, "I also prayed that you would complete the mysticism course as soon as possible and join the list of rotating weapons, but... Goddess, it is worth every two days. Ye, I am not sleepless! My skin, my state, Goddess, save me!"

"Aren't you supposed to be very used to this kind of life? Before I joined, it was you, Brett and Old Neil who were on duty all the time, right?" Klein asked in confusion.

Roshan shook her head sadly and said:

"No, there were four before, and five earlier. Unfortunately, Kernli chose to be the 'Sleepless One'. Viola didn't renew her contract last month and joined Hoynor Machinery. She is a very talented person. The girl who creates talent just lacks opportunities and money, and five years of civilian life have given her enough accumulation."

Having said that, Roshan suddenly glanced at Klein, covered her mouth and smiled:

"I've thought of a good way, Klein, get married as soon as possible, and then accidentally reveal the Beyonder's secret to her. This is a very minor leak, and there won't be a particularly severe punishment. After all, no one can hide it for a long time. The person who sleeps in the same bed. When the time comes, you can introduce her to join us as a civilian! The perfect plan!"

Klein's mouth moved slightly and said:

"Miss Roseanne, you can also find a husband as soon as possible. It should be easier. I believe you have enough ways to reveal the secret to him."

When Luo Shan heard the words, her eyes widened and her mouth half-opened:

"How is this possible? Marriage is a very serious matter, and it must be carefully observed, carefully selected, and verified with a certain amount of time."

You didn't say that just now... Klein didn't reason with Miss Roseanne, smiled and greeted a few words before leaving and going underground.

When he came to the arsenal, he saw that Old Neil was tossing the coffee by hand, so he sat down and waited patiently.

"You should be a full member soon, right?" Old Neil asked casually while filtering.

"The captain said it will take two to three days, and I don't know if the church will approve it." Klein replied calmly.

"Hey." Old Neil laughed, "The church will not veto this kind of thing, especially since you have become a Beyonder."

Having said that, he turned his head and looked at Klein with a smile and said:

"You have to be mentally prepared. Every official member of the Nighthawks must pass a ceremony, which is to complete a task independently. Of course, Dunn will definitely choose the one that is very easy and simple for the newcomer, and you are still an assistant. type of fortune-teller."
