Chapter 87 Gift
In the gentle and soothing melody, Klein and Hazel are dancing lightly. One of them is tall and straight, the other is slender and tall. Except for the big age gap, they match each other perfectly in terms of rhythm of movement, temperament and appearance, and are extremely beautiful , can almost be taught as a demonstration.
Klein took the initiative to break the atmosphere of silence, and in a light turn, he said casually:
"I was always having nightmares some time ago. Fortunately, I was blessed by the goddess. I prayed a few times in the church and drank a few glasses of holy water, and I stopped waking up in the middle of the night."
Hazel raised her eyes silently, and said after two seconds:
"What kind of nightmare?"
He is actually interested in this topic... What Will Auceptin said is not a problem at all... Klein responded with a smile:
"In an abandoned and dilapidated church, and then being chased by various monsters.
"But you should also be clear about the things in the dream. It is always impossible to remember the details. It is difficult for me to describe what those monsters look like."
Hazel didn't speak, but her dark brown bright eyes were filled with disapproval.
In other words, she thinks that the things in the dream are not necessarily impossible to remember.
Klein embraced her and took a step diagonally, then said with a smile:
"Indeed, I have had very clear dreams before.
"At that time, I was still in the Southern Continent. I dreamed of an upside-down mausoleum made of pitch-black boulders extending underground, and a living corpse covered with white feathers came out and wanted to grab me in.
"I had a similar dream for several days in a row. It's a bit embarrassing to say it. I was very scared at the time. I hurried to a nearby city, found a fortune teller club, and asked them to help me interpret the dream. I came to the conclusion that I might have bought a special product When, offending a tribe's belief in death.
"The strange thing is that when I went to the tribe to apologize, give gifts, and participate in one of their celebrations, I never had that dream again."
The above content was all fabricated by him from the perspective of a fortune-teller, the purpose is to arouse Hazel's interest, to see if she will reveal something unconsciously, and at the same time, this is also a subtle one that will not arouse suspicion. The hidden meaning of the suggestion is that if Hazel is troubled by dreams, it is best to find a member of the fortune teller club or the pastor of the church to interpret the dream. Don't blindly believe the content of the dream and try recklessly by yourself.
——When Will Auceptin mentioned that Hazel had some problems,
When he was able to chat with her about dreams, Klein suspected that the contradictory points displayed by the other party might be due to the continuous dreams, otherwise it would be difficult to explain why she lacked common sense about the mysterious world despite having the strength of at least Sequence 8 , blindly arrogant, and, she is a family-educated lady of high society, it should be very difficult to get in touch with wild Extraordinary with unknown purpose, after all her father belongs to the House of Commons who will definitely be protected, there should be no shortage of Extraordinary around her .
Therefore, Klein thinks that Hazel may have come into contact with some items, or because of her personality, she was favored by some strong man. Through dreams, she was guided step by step to become an Extraordinary, without giving the necessary common sense, and at the same time , and lured her to dig in the sewer to find something.
There are two factors that make him more certain about this guess, one is Will Auceptin's words, and the other is that the Sequence 5 of the "Thief" path is called "Dream Stealer", it will not and cannot only steal The idea of action is an extraordinary ability!
Hazel quietly listened to Dwayne Dantès' narration, opened her mouth subconsciously, then closed it again, and said after nearly ten seconds:
"Why didn't you go to the church of the goddess?"
Sure enough, he responded to the topic of the dream, but he was still cautious and didn't reveal anything... Klein said with a wry smile:
"The church that doesn't have a goddess nearby belongs to the area that believes in the god of steam and machinery."
Hazel didn't continue this topic, and turned her attention back to the dance itself, seeming to be immersed in the music.
Klein also became quiet, wandering in the beautiful melody with this girl.
After a dance was over, he sent Hazel back to her original position, and then went to the long table area due to thirst, preparing to get a cup of sweet iced tea.
At this time, he saw Bishop Electra enjoying red wine there.
——Different from the Church of Storms and the Church of God of War, the clergy of the Evernight Goddess must not drink too much alcohol. They must refuse distilled alcohol, and they can drink champagne, beer, and red and white wine in small amounts.
"How is it? This should be the first time you have held such a grand ball, right?" Bishop Elektra raised his glass with a smile.
Klein responded with a smile:
"It's troublesome, and it's, well, fun, and the biggest problem is, doing so many dances in one go, it's always tiring, sweating all the time, wanting to drink water."
Bishop Elektra laughed and said:
"Come to Backlund, don't reduce your physical exercise. Sometimes, social situations are more tiring than you imagine."
Having said that, he showed a teasing expression and said:
"Ms. O'Lori has praised you quite a lot, and thinks that your inside is enough to match your appearance."
...Thank you for her affirmation... Klein couldn't find any other words to respond for a while, so he could only respond jokingly:
"A person's inner being cannot be seen through a dance."
Without waiting for Bishop Elektra to show a smile that men can understand, he turned to say:
"Bishop, I have recently intervened in a business, and I may offend some powerful gentleman. I am a little worried."
He was referring to the affairs of the Coim Company and Baron Syndras.
Bishop Elektra tasted the wine and said:
"Don't worry, Backlund is a place where the law is taught, and the goddess will bless you."
"This way I'm relieved, praise the goddess!" Klein seriously drew a crimson moon on his chest.
When Bishop Elektra went to the dance floor, his eyes gradually sank, and he sighed silently.
He is not afraid or hating anything, but feels a little guilty. At least so far, the Church of Evernight has treated him well. Although it is because of money, it has indeed given a lot of help, and is even willing to provide some protection. However, he was planning how to deal with the internal guards and how to steal items from the sealed core behind the Chanis Gate.
Hey, if this plan takes a long time to complete, then it is really time to have psychotherapy regularly, otherwise there will be mental problems... Klein examined his emotions and shook his head subtly.
…………
Jorwood District, inside a house.
Xio put the Fennerport Pie and Dixie Bay sweet iced tea on the dining table, and said to Forsi:
"Don't eat this kind of food often, it's not very healthy."
"Why do you say that?" Fors took a piece of pie inlaid with fruit and ham, and took a bite.
"From what I read in the magazines, as a bounty hunter, keeping fit is essential." Xio hesitated for a moment, but still grabbed a piece of pie and brought it to his mouth.
Fors sneered and said:
"You are an Extraordinary who prefers fighting, not an ordinary bounty hunter, and you don't have to make too much effort to maintain your figure.
"Maybe, because of this, you missed the last chance to grow taller. Ah, yes, I heard that the 'warrior' approach can effectively make people taller. Just look at those barbarians in Fusac."
Xiu was startled, then suddenly sighed:
"But I was born to be half an 'arbitrator', so I can't become a 'warrior'."
Obviously, she had seriously thought about it.
Seeing that the memory of her friend was brought back, Fors quickly pretended not to say anything, and concentrated on enjoying the late dinner.
After eating and drinking enough and tidying up, she pulled Xio into her bedroom, cleared her throat and said:
"You have helped me a lot recently, so I decided to give you a present."
"What troublesome things do I need to do?" Xio touched his short blond hair vigilantly.
"..." Forsi blinked her eyes, suddenly reflecting on her usual state.
She laughed twice and said:
"It's for before, before."
Without waiting for Xio to respond, she took out a square iron box, the kind that originally contained cigarettes, under the suspicious eyes of the other party.
"I don't smoke." Xio shook his head directly.
Forsi let out a "hmm", and opened the iron box, revealing the light blue translucent hexagonal prism inside.
Xio's eyes froze immediately, looking at the lightning-like light in the crystal, he asked intuitively:
"Interrogator?"
"Yes, I met a participant at a Extraordinary party who sold it cheaply. I was afraid of missing the opportunity, so I quickly bought it." Forsi said without any false truth, "You know that, I was rewarded by my teacher for one thing a while ago, and I am not short of this money."
Xio knows that her friend has been going out frequently recently, claiming that she is doing things for the teacher, but she still can't believe that she can buy an "interrogator" extraordinary characteristic as a gift for herself so easily. This really surpasses their original living conditions too much Multilevel!
She is still gambling, and after becoming an "astrologer", she started to win a lot of money? Or, finally targeting the bank's vaults, relying on the ability to "open the door" to steal the money inside? Xio flashed through many guesses in an instant, but couldn't find any corresponding evidence.
Two or three seconds later, she made a decision, that is to randomly find two days a week to pretend to go out, and secretly observe what Forsi is doing.
If she didn't believe in her friend's character and bottom line, she would even suspect that the other party had become the mistress of some powerful Extraordinary or rich man.
"It, it's too expensive." Xio waved his hand, trying to refuse the gift.
Forsi had already thought about her speech, and said with a smile:
"Anyway, I will trouble you with many things in the future, so let's treat it as an advance payment."
"We are good friends, and we don't need to talk about remuneration." Xio hesitated for a second, then shook his head and said.
Just wait for your words! Fors immediately smiled and said:
"Then treat it as an early birthday gift to you, don't refuse!"
"But my birthday is still more than half a year away..." Xio muttered, and finally reached out and took over the extraordinary characteristics of the "Interrogator".
…………
On Sunday morning, Xio suppressed the excitement and anticipation in his heart, and went out as usual, preparing to leave a corresponding secret mark in a specific place, and asked the masked man from MI9 to meet in the depths of a remote alley at night.
With the extraordinary characteristics of "Interrogator", she who has digested the "Magistrate" potion only needs to obtain the correct formula to be promoted to Sequence 7, taking a solid step in investigating the truth of the year and restoring the glory of the family. Therefore, she can't wait to take on a few more military missions and get enough meritorious service as soon as possible.
After finishing this matter, she planned to go around a few places in the East District to see if there was any important news, and then go home to follow Forsi to find out what her friend was doing recently and whether there was any danger.
However, as soon as she entered the East District, she felt as if someone was following her.
