Chapter 52

Mrs. Willis glanced at Dwayne Dantès's face, and said with a smile that didn't mind at all:

"Your past, your experiences in Disi Bay and the Southern Continent are more exciting than all the novels I have read, and people want to have the same experience."

Of course, this is adapted from a true story, thanks to Anderson Hood, a hunter who is always running around... Klein cast his eyes on the cream cake, and said with a low smile:

"Because I only said the interesting parts, there are many things in it that I don't want to recall."

He ordered a simple sentence, and began to enjoy desserts, but after Mrs. Willis and other ladies heard these words, they inexplicably remembered the name of a best-selling novel: "A Man with a Story". In their eyes, Dwayne Dantès was like this. On the surface, he looked like a clear and quiet lake, but in reality he couldn't see the bottom. There were many surprises hidden, and there was also a lot of pain buried.

At 9:40, the dinner was over. Some gentlemen and ladies went to the card room together to play Texas Hold’em for two hours. The rest of the men went to the living room and planned to chat for a while. There are many people and it is inevitable that there will be colorful topics, so there are no women participating. They may go down to the first floor and gather around the piano, singing softly while listening to the active performers, or play chess and have fun in two or three .

Klein chose to go to the living room on the second floor. Private chats with fewer people will help him be accepted by this circle as soon as possible.

Entering the room, he observed the environment, went straight to the window, opened it, and then pulled a high-backed chair nearby and sat down.

Klein had just completed this series of actions when he saw the host of today's dinner, Portland Mormont, holding a pipe. He laughed and said:

"Men always need a little space of their own."

He is an old man with a loud voice, a tall figure, and a rosy face. He looks about sixty years old, and his hair is fairly thick, but it is all white. His facial features are very typical of ordinary Loen people, with no special features.

"Yes, when the ladies are here, you have to take your image into account and consider their feelings. I wanted to kiss it an hour ago." Hazel's father, Councilor Macht, took out a gorgeous silver metal box , twisted a cigarette out from inside.

So did the other men who came into the living room with pipes or cigarettes in their hands as if by magic.

While the fire was flickering, wisps of smoke lingered out, making the room feel like yesterday's smog hadn't dissipated.

After closing his eyes and enjoying it for a few seconds, Portland Mormont looked sideways at the guest by the window and said:

"Dawn, don't you smoke?"

Klein clenched his fist, pressed it against his mouth, coughed twice and said:

"I haven't recovered yet, and the doctor told me not to smoke recently."

Frankly speaking, he was about to choke right now, but fortunately he had wisely picked the seat by the window just now.

This group of big smoking guns... Klein bent his right index finger and rubbed it in front of his nostril.

He really wanted to use the extraordinary ability of the "magician" to create invisible thin air tubes that extend out to attract fresh air and get rid of the harm of second-hand smoke, but considering that there may be extraordinary people hidden among the men present , and sensibly gave up this idea.

Portland Mormont laughed and said:

"I heard Bishop Elektra say, Dawn, you are sick for a reason, you lack a wife!"

The full professor himself is a believer in the "God of Steam and Machinery", but his wife believes in the "Goddess of the Night", so he settled down in Boklund Street near St. Samuel's Church, and bishops often visit him communicate with.

Is this making fun of me being sick and still thinking about women? I really can't see that Bishop Elektra is a man who likes to spread rumors... It's all the fault of "Magic Mirror" Arrods! Klein slandered a few words, shook his head and said with a smile:

"I have a lot of respect for marriage,

If there is no suitable goal, I would rather be single. "

At this time, Mr. Willis, a senior employee of the Backlund City Hall, exhaled smoke rings and said:

"Actually, I envy Dawn's current single status, which means I can pursue any type of lady."

He purposely used any type of accent, causing everyone in the living room to burst into ambiguous laughter.

Dawn Dantès has a wide range of tastes and has no resistance to any type of attractive woman, has it spread throughout the neighborhood? Klein controlled his right hand and didn't rub his forehead subconsciously. He only felt that his image as a new rich man with depth, temperament, appearance, and conversation had undergone subtle changes.

He first suspected that Bishop Elektra's big mouth said it, and then felt that his housekeeper Walter took the initiative to let the servants spread it.

Because a man who has no flaws and is very attractive will always be rejected unconsciously by other people of the same sex in the circle, but when he has flaws and a topic of ridicule, it is easy to make people feel close.

Klein wasn't annoyed by this tinge of ridicule, instead he deliberately smiled wryly and said:

"That's why it's difficult to choose. I've been single until now."

"Haha." Portland Mormont and the others laughed at the same time.

Congressman Macht then said:

"What you need is a little ability to make decisions. A good marriage and a good family are of great help to men."

He stopped joking and gave a serious persuasion.

It seems that no matter which world you are in, you can't escape the fate of being urged to marry... Klein nodded lightly, casually glanced at the window, and enjoyed the night view of the garden of Portland Mormont's house.

At this moment, he saw a figure. Hazel Macht, who was wearing a long dark green dress, was walking along the path alone into the depths of the garden, pausing from time to time, looking around, as if looking for something.

Wasn't this lady playing the piano just now? Why did you suddenly go to the garden? When Klein looked away, Hazel's back was already covered by a clump of flowers.

When guests attend a dinner party or a dance, it is not impolite to leave the hall and enter the garden, because it is a very stylish thing to walk under the moon and blow the night wind with the fragrance of flowers, but it often means a tryst .

Who is Hazel dating? No, it's not like, no one among the people who came today could make her "look straight up". Although the fright she received in the sewer before made her look less arrogant, and even occasionally gloomy, deep down, Still seem to look down on ordinary people... the negative effects of dealing with magical items? This is unreasonable. Finding a rest room or going to the bathroom is better than going to the garden, and it will be more hidden, and when her house has a dance, she also goes to the third floor instead of the garden... Klein ruled out all kinds of possibilities, and he began to think With a guess:

Judging from Hazel's gesture of sensing or looking for something, she seems to have discovered something abnormal, ready to observe and deal with it at a closer distance?

This also means that there is a supernatural situation in Professor Portland Mormont's home?

If it is true, this professor or someone in his family is not simple... The bishops of St. Samuel Church often come to visit, but nothing is found!

Well, the "Stealer" must be unique in some aspects of his sensing and observation abilities...

Klein has no idea of ​​interfering with outside affairs, because the problems that can be noticed by Hazel are not too dangerous. Moreover, this place is very close to St. Samuel's Church, so there is really no secret, and no one will want to make a big fuss, and he will be very restrained .

At this time, Councilor Macht in the living room broke free from the influence of the last vulgar joke, looked at Portland Mormont and said:

"I heard that you are leaving Backlund University?"

Professor Portland Mormont took a sip of his pipe and said:

"That's right, the Higher Education Commission wants me to serve as the president of the newly formed Backlund Technical University, hehe, although most of my wealth comes from those alloys, the field I am best at is mechanical engineering.

"They promised to build better labs there, give more funding, ha, at my age, more autonomy and better helpers are really more important."

Mr. Willis echoed with a smile:

"Becklund University will have one more full professor vacancy, and those senior associate professors who have been waiting for more than ten years will finally have another chance."

In the Ruen higher education system, a full professor is not only a title, but also a position, which is equivalent to the head of the department, so there can only be one.

Backlund Technical University... Klein listened with a smile, and didn't speak casually on topics he didn't understand.

…………

In the garden, Hazel came to a dark and deserted corner.

She just noticed that ants and other creatures on the ground gathered abnormally, and she also felt that there was something hidden here.

This is the talent brought by her own sequence, and she has never made a mistake before.

——She can directly pick out the one containing the valuables from several sealed boxes without any additional assistance. Of course, she can't tell what it is, only knowing that it must be more precious than the others.

Just like Mr. Dwayne Dantès, there must be very valuable items on him... Hazel curled her lips slightly, and turned her attention to the soft-looking soil in front of her.

She sensed a lot of spirituality gathering below, creating an attraction for insects and ghosts.

It's not the human body, some used spiritual materials... They should have been discarded separately, but they were buried together, resulting in unnecessary changes... Hazel's eyes turned a little darker, and she never concealed her spiritual characteristics and The change reads the situation under the soil.

She raised her chin slightly, looked back at Xiaolou, and thought that there was at least one supernatural power user in Portland Mormont's house.

And if this corner of the garden is not dealt with, in a few days this place and several nearby houses will be haunted!

Hazel withdrew her gaze, stretched out her left hand, aimed at the soil in front of her, gently grasped it, and twisted her wrist.

The spirituality gathered there suddenly disappeared, as if it had been stolen by someone.
