Start with the Readers Chapter 205: Data and Clowns
On Tuesday morning, Klein walked into the Blackthorn Security Company while thinking about how to reveal the "acting method" to the captain more naturally.
"Good morning, Klein!" Luo Shan, the clerk at the front desk of the company, greeted with a bright smile, then she blinked her eyes with light brown pupils, and whispered mysteriously:
"You know what? Something is wrong with the captain today."
Klein immediately became vigilant when he heard the words. Since the "witch" Triss incident, the captain's spirit seems to have returned to the previous state, often forgetting some things, so he is extremely sensitive to the "something wrong" that Roseanne said , immediately lowered his voice, and asked seriously: "What happened?"
Rosen was taken aback by his attitude, and quickly waved her hand and said, "It's not what you think... Actually, I think the captain has encountered something good."
"Good thing? What happened?" Klein was a little dazed and asked in confusion.
"Yes, when I went to deliver today's newspaper just now, I saw that the captain was in a daze, and from time to time he showed a smile so gentle that people could drown... I called him twice before he answered me." Rosanne nodded with bright eyes.
This...wouldn't be Ms. Daly confessing her love to the captain again? Didn't the captain back down this time... Then do I need to tell him about the acting?
Thinking wildly in his heart, Klein walked towards the partition and knocked on the door of the captain's office.
One time, two times, three times...
After a dozen or so knocks, Dunn's mellow voice came from the partition.
"Come in."
But at this moment, Klein felt uneasy. He put down the pendulum first, made a fortune-telling to see if there was any danger, and then opened the door and walked in. Then he saw the captain sitting up straight instinctively, making his gray eyes darken, and he was in a calm state...
It's like when I was secretly playing with my mobile phone in the dormitory when I was in school, when I saw the teacher round the room, I quickly hid the mobile phone and sat down...
After complaining in his heart, Klein cleared his throat, sat down with his hat and cane, "Captain, I have something to report."
"What's the matter?" Dunn clasped his hands and asked in a deep voice.
Klein glanced at the serious Dunn Smith, and suddenly smiled and said:
"Captain, I figured out something yesterday."
"What's the matter?" Dunn repeated the question just now, leaned back slightly on the back of the chair, and loosened his clasped hands.
Klein recalled the draft he had made before, and described in detail how he performed the "acting" process before. Although he didn't mention the word "acting" at all, he said everything he could say.
Dunn quietly listened to Klein's description, and his gray eyes became darker.
He was silent for more than ten seconds, reached out and rubbed his forehead, then picked up the pipe, just about to take a sip, but suddenly remembered something, put it down again, and sighed: "No wonder Daly said that there will be a church in the afternoon The senior deacon came to inspect you... Hehe, you have submitted the potion formulas of 'spectator' and 'mind reader' before, and the credit is enough, I think you will become a 'clown' soon, "
Although it is true to say so... But the wording of being a "clown" is still too sad!
While slandering his stomach, Klein saw that Captain Dunn seemed to be in a trance again, so he hurriedly raised his voice and asked, "Captain, are you alright?"
"I'm fine, don't worry." Dunn refocused his gaze, but thought in his heart: "I just... don't know whether it's real or... just a dream..."
Seeing that today's captain is really abnormal, Klein planned to ask Leonard who was on duty last night, so he took out his pocket watch, pretended to check the time and said:
"Captain, I have to find Old Neil. Today's occult class is about to start."
"Okay." Dunn took the pipe and watched Klein go out, and then he became dazed again.
…
At noon, since he spent most of the night reading in the library of Backlund University, Abner slept until this time and just woke up.
After a brief lunch, he took out a pen and paper and began to sort out the materials he had read through "Pure White Eye" last night.
"The first Baron Ramud, also known as Mr. Azik, was awarded the title due to his military exploits in the last chaotic era brought about by the Pale Calamity at the end of the Fourth Epoch.
"The second-generation Baron Ramud, the son of Mr. Azik, for some unknown reason, had a bad relationship with an earl of the kingdom... Who is this earl is not recorded in the library books, only mentioned The battle between the two nobles for many years ended because of the sudden disappearance of the second Baron Ramud...
"As mentioned in the original book, the Nighthawks discovered the headless body of Mr. Azik's son, and confirmed that he was poisoned to death during his lifetime. They even feared that he would become an evil spirit after death. Ritual magic was placed around the coffin to suppress it.
"This is likely to be done by the earl who had a bad relationship with him!
"Afterwards, the title of the Ramud family was inherited by a branch of the family... But even so, it was still suppressed. Almost every generation of Baron Ramud died young due to various reasons, like a curse.
"During the 'Battle of the Oath', the last baron was sent to the forefront to stop the Feysac Empire, and finally died in the battle... and the blood of Ramud's line was cut off."
Looking at what he wrote on the paper, Abner felt that as long as he found out who the earl who had been suppressing Mr. Azik's descendants would be, he should be able to report to Klein.
As for where to check? Naturally, it was the royal library in the original plan.
It seems that it is still necessary to pretend to be Mr. Sonnard, the "storyteller" recommended by Miss Hazel.
The first step in disguising is naturally to understand first, so Abner quickly found Sonard's home based on the information he inquired, and planned to use "invisibility" to observe him at close range. It can be a little more like when "pinching the face" with the "clown" mask.
However, he soon got a piece of news that caught him off guard from the daily chat between Sonard's sister and the servant:
That is, Mr. Sonnard followed Baron Syndras to Disi Bay early this morning, and he will not be able to return until at least next Wednesday.
This is really a coincidence... I can't pretend to be Sonnard, so I really want to pretend to be the girl named "Emma"?
But even if I'm willing to pretend, the "clown" mask doesn't have that ability... The body can't be changed, I'm afraid it will be seen at a glance?
Sighing slightly, Abner had to change his strategy, thinking about whether he could entrust others to help him complete this matter.
Miss "Justice"'s identity is definitely enough, but she knows the task that Mr. "Fool" gave me. If I entrust it in the past, I am afraid that it will be directly exposed. Moreover, this is also very detrimental to the mysterious and knowledgeable image of the "Tower"...it is easy to collapse the human design.
Hazel was fine before, but after she was polluted by the "primordial moon", she was more rejected by the upper class. It is evidence that many big shots will not invite her to the ball...
And once she enters the royal library, the Extraordinary members of the royal family will definitely pay more attention to her, and they will definitely suspect her motive for looking up the information of the first Baron Ramud... This may cause fire.
Abner went through the people he knew in Backlund one by one in his mind, but found that there was no suitable candidate.
Either the status is too high to support, or the relationship is generally untrustworthy, in short, each has its own problems.
Thinking of this, Abner has to admit that it is difficult to complete the task of entering the royal library in the short term~IndoMTL.com~ This matter has to be considered in the long term.
…
Tingen City, Blackthorn Security Company, the alchemy room for preparing potions.
Klein watched nervously as "Sword of the Goddess" Creste Sesima bent down and picked up the silver-white box at his feet. At the same time, his dark green eyes instantly turned dark black.
Then, Sesima opened the box, revealing a pure white bone sword inside, and said in a low voice:
"You swear by the holy things."
After speaking, he took out another tin box from his arms, and when he opened it, a fist-sized gray thing was revealed inside.
Klein's pupils shrank when he saw this, because he had seen this thing—that was when he was divining on the gray mist how to obtain the "Joker" potion.
At that time, he didn't know what it was... But now, through the previous "tower" narration, he already knew clearly that it was the extraordinary characteristic of "Joker"!
