"Don't think about that **** bill again, let's discuss magical ceremony." Old Neil easily put away item such as candles, cauldron and silver knife.
Klein wanted to learn the past life, the Americans shrugged their shoulders like that, but in the end they did n’t do this enough gentleman ’s move.
He turned his attention back to magical ceremony itself, threw out the previously detailed question one by one, and got a sufficiently definite answer. For example, the recitation mantra has a certain format, as long as it is satisfied, and use Hermes language clearly expressed the key meaning, then other parts can be played at will. Of course, profanity and less respectful descriptions are absolutely prohibited.
This "mysticism course" continued until noon, Old Neil coughed two channels:
"We must return to Zoutlan Street."
Speaking of which, he complained vaguely:
"In order to receive those **** materials, I missed the lovely breakfast."
Klein looked around, funny and puzzled:
"Mr. Neil, do n’t you have a cook at home? Or a maid in charge of cooking?"
The weekly salary of 12 pounds is enough to afford several servants!
According to the newspaper, in the case of accommodation and food, an ordinary chef only needs to pay 12 to 15shilling a week, not even 1 pound. The handy maid is cheaper. The weekly salary is between 3shilling6 pence to 6shilling. Can't count on their cooking skills.
Uh, it ’s not right, as Mr. Neil still owes 30 pounds of foreign debt, it ’s normal not to invite chefs and helpers ...
I seem to have asked questions that I should not have asked ...
When Klein regretted it, Old Neil shook his head indifferently:
"I often try magical ceremony at home to study the extraordinary item and the corresponding literature. It is impossible and impossible to invite ordinary people to be chefs, male servants and maids, just to have people come to clean them regularly, and if not ordinary people, you think Will they be willing to do similar work? "
"I seem to ask a stupid question, perhaps because I don't do mysterious things at home." Klein explained mockingly.
Old Neil stood up early, put on a round-edged felt hat, and walked outside the door, muttering:
"I seem to smell the pan-fried foie gras ... and wait for the bill to be resolved, I must have a good one! I will definitely be able to eat a whole roast pork with apple sauce at noon, no, this is not enough , You must have another sausage with mashed potatoes ... "
Speaking of being hungry ... Klein swallowed, and quickly followed Old Neil to the nearby public carriage point.
Back to Zoutlan Street, Old Neil just got off the carriage, and suddenly un'ed:
"What did I see? Goddess, what did I see?"
He was suddenly agile like a 17-18 boy, flew to the side of the road and picked up item.
Klein moved closer together and looked closely, and found that it was a well-made wallet.
It is difficult to distinguish whether the dark brown wallet is cowhide or sheepskin with his eyes and insights. I only noticed that there is a small light blue coat of arms embroidered on it, and a white wings spread out pigeon.
This is the impression that Klein got at first glance, and from the second glance, he was stuck in sight by the bills bulging with his wallet.
That's gold pound with black stripes on gray background, at least 20 sheets face up!
Old Neil unfolded the wallet, withdrew those banknotes, and looked at it carefully, and suddenly hey:
"10 pounds of paper money, people make esteemed‘ country founder’Protector William I, oh, Goddess, a full 30 sheets, and several 5 pound, 1 pound and 5shilling banknotes. ”
More than three hundred pounds? This is a huge sum in the true sense! I may not have saved so much money in ten years ... Klein's breathing involuntarily becomes heavy.
Because the value of gold pound is very high, picking up such a wallet is the same as picking up a box of banknotes in later generations.
"I don't know which gentleman dropped it ... certainly not an ordinary person." Klein calmly analyzed.
Such a wallet is obviously not a lady ’s.
"Don't care who he is." Old Neil chuckled lightly. "We won't try to take any money that doesn't belong to us. Let's wait here. I think the gentleman will come back soon, right. For anyone, this is not an easy thing to give up. "
Klein secretly comes from relaxed and has a new understanding of the moral quality of Old Neil.
He was quite worried that the other party had used the "Goddess grant" excuse to use this money to pay the bills, and was thinking hard about how to stop it and how to persuade him.
This is "do whatever you want, but don't hurt"? Klein suddenly had some insight.
The two of them waited for less than a minute on the street, and saw a luxury carriage drawing quickly. The light blue coat of arms on the side was a white dove with wings.
The carriage stopped, and a middle-aged man wearing a black formal suit and a bow tie of the same color left the carriage, looked at the wallet, and took off his hat to salute:
"Two gentlemen, this should be my owner's wallet."
"Your coat of arms proves everything, but I still need to verify it again. This is responsible for everyone. Excuse me, how much is in the wallet?" Old Neil responded politely.
The middle-aged man startled immediately laughed at himself:
"As a housekeeper, you should not know how much money is left in the owner's wallet, sorry, please allow me to ask."
"This is your freedom." Old Neil made a please gesture.
The middle-aged man returned to the car and exchanged two words with the people inside through the window.
He approached Klein and Old Neil again, smiled and said:
"More than 300 pounds, less than 350 pounds, my host does not remember the specific amount."
I do n’t remember ... It ’s really a big dog. If I have so much money, I must count it again and again ... Klein is full of envy.
Old Neil nodded, handed the wallet back:
"Goddess proves that this belongs to you."
The middle-aged man took the wallet, probably counted it, and then pulled out three 10-pound banknotes:
"The owner of my family is Sir Dweyer. He said that your quality is appreciated by him. This is the reward that honest people should get. Please do n’t refuse."
Sir Dweyer? Who set up "Dweyer Trust Company" to provide cheap rental housing for Sir Dweyer bottom level workers? Klein remembered the name at once.
He is sir, who is respected by his brother Benson and believes that his work is not close enough to reality.
"Thank you sir, he is a kind and generous gentleman." Old Neil was polite and took the three notes.
After seeing the Sir Dweyer carriage going away, he saw no one around, so he turned to look at Klein, flicked the banknote, and smiled:
"30 pounds, the bill is settled."
"I said, it will be resolved in a reasonable way."
"This is the power of magic."
... the power of what the fuck magic! This will do! Klein was dumbfounded again.
After slowing down for a few minutes, he entered the stairs and climbed to the security company and asked:
"Mr. Neil, why do n’t you pray for more money?"
“Do n’t be greedy, especially when magical ceremony is held, temperance is a key element for every Inquisitor of Secrets to live long enough.” Old Neil explained with ease.
…………
In the huge banquet hall, several chandeliers are erected with burning candles. They exude a pleasant fragrance and accumulate a quantity of light that is not inferior to that of a gas lamp.
Along the table, there are delicious foods such as pan-fried foie gras, grilled steak, grilled chicken, fried sole, Disu oysters, lamb stew, cream soup, and a bottle of misty champagne. , Aurmir wine and Nanville red wine, they exude attractive color under the light.
A servant in a red vest is carrying a plate of crystal glasses, and shuttles between a gentleman and a lady who are dressed or elegant or gorgeous.
Audrey Hall wears a light white long dress with a stand collar, high waist, and lamb leg sleeves. The upper body is tightly tied, the waist is stretched extremely thin, and the multi-level cake cut is perfectly supported by the whale hoop.
Her long blond hair is elegantly bundled, earrings, necklaces and rings are all shining brightly, and under her feet are a pair of white shoes with roses and diamonds.
"Is there 4, 5, or 6 petticoats inside?" Audrey touched the skirt with the right hand wearing white glove.
Her left hand is holding a glass of sparkling champagne.
Audrey unlike the past, in the center of the banquet, has become the focus of everyone, but avoiding the excitement, quietly standing in the shadow of the curtains of the floor-to-ceiling windows.
She took a sip of champagne and looked at the people in front of her in a gesture that did n’t belong here:
Count Wolf ’s younger son is chatting with Viscount Conrad ’s daughter. He likes to use his forearm to strengthen his tone. Well, the more he swings, the less credible the content of his speech is. This is a verified conclusion ... I ca n’t help raising myself and degrading others, but it is difficult to control my guilty conscience, which will be expressed from the way he speaks and the language of his body ...
Mrs. Tella covered the laughter with her left hand again and again today, um, I know, she is showing off the pure sea sapphire on her left hand ...
Her husband Duke of Negan discussed the situation with several conservative nobles not far away. From the beginning of the banquet to the present, he only actively looked for his Mrs. Tella once with his eyes ...
They have almost no real eye contact ... maybe, well, they are not as loving as they show ...
Ms. Panisse was amused by Baron Larry seven times, which is normal and not surprising, but why did she look at her husband with a guilty look ... well, they separated ... no, they can go anywhere To the garden ...
......
In this extravagant banquet, Audrey saw a lot of details that would never be noticed at all.
For a moment, she almost really believed that she was watching a drama.
"Everyone is a good drama actor ..." She sighed silently, her eyes cold.
At this moment, she felt a sudden, turned her head suddenly, looked at the spacious balcony outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, and looked at the dark corner of the spacious balcony.
In that shadow, a golden retriever sat quietly, gazing quietly inside looks at, looks at Audrey, half of his body was hidden in the darkness.
Susie ... Audrey twitched at the corner of his mouth, his expression collapsed instantly, and could no longer maintain the state of Audience.
