Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!
The meat quality of the comb fish is certainly not as good as fishman, but the variety of spices is mixed and not messy. The layered features still make Klein very appreciated. I just want to eat it and I ca n’t stop talking.
"Actually, there are really Extraordinarys in the local area who want to quit dangerous circles and live the lives of ordinary people. They can go to Beckland to open a Rhosid restaurant. The main restaurant is similar to grilled fish. With the tolerance of the metropolis, the business will not be bad. The only problem is that the price of many spices is definitely not as cheap as this one, the cost will be high, and the target group must be well positioned ... "Klein put down the pair of rough chopsticks, wiping their mouths with a napkin, and thinking about it without thinking. .
In his view, many times the civilians cannot find a way to get rich because the vision is not enough, but this kind of vision is confined to the education and daily experience they receive, and they are bound by their class. Really It's hard to jump out of it. To break this kind of limitation, to strive for a better and higher level of education is the most effective way. The second is to take risks and go around. Of course, this is very risky. Many people are silent. Died on this road.
This meal, Klein used 2shilling5 pennies, the price is not cheap, but in terms of food, he has always been willing to spend money, and recently the main expenses have been contracted by Danis.
Drawing up the collar and putting on a hat, he took a black cane and walked out of the old John restaurant. He happened to see a police officer driving the vagabond on the street.
The native of the Rhosid Islands has a darker skin tone than the southern continent race, which is close to the bronze that is often basked in the sun. Their hair is mainly dark black, all natural micro curls, and there is no small difference from the colonists of Ruen Kingdom .
It is less than 50 years since this place was completely colonized. Initially Ruen cooperated with the prince native in the name of Chinese Sunya company to extract economic benefits, but then the management of Chinese Sunya company quickly corrupted, competed for power and profit, and even provoked for personal interests. The enemy, to start the war, the most ridiculous thing is that they also reported to each other, saying that the competitors took bribes. For this reason, they each sought the members behind them, and they attacked each other at the meeting of the House and almost went to court. (Note 1)
The local natives certainly ca n’t imagine that in their eyes, influential figure, who can let the chief prince bow down back, kiss the vamp, and send a car-to-car gift, belongs to a small role in Beckland that is not even a parliamentarian-although they are big Partly from aristocratic families, but inheritance rights are very backward.
After the dispute, the king and the prime minister reached an agreement to redeem the stocks, ended the Sunya company, and sent the fleet and soldiers to fully occupy the Rhosid islands and practice true colonial rule.
At present, the rule of the islands is the governor ’s office, the parliament and the courts. The high-level all belong to ruenian. Some of the middle-level, parliamentary and magistrate judges are the original descendants of the princes. bottom level is open to the local educated native. It includes policemen below Superintendent of Police.
It was a local policeman who waved the short stick and drove vagabond. His target also had obvious Rhosid ethnic characteristics.
As soon as I saw wearing a double-breasted long dress, wearing a half-height silk top hat, and looking at the Klein with a black civilization rod, the police immediately put away the short stick, stood up straight, and folded his legs, saluted:
"Good afternoon, sir.
"Is there anything I need to help?"
The Klein feels a bit complicated, and nodded gently:
"Is there no carriage here?"
“The governor ’s office stipulates that carriages are not allowed in this street, and you have to walk to the front street.” The policeman explained with fear and enthusiasm.
"Thank you." Klein casually praised, "Your Ruen language is very good."
The police were a little surprised by surprise:
"I think, I think that this is a necessary and necessary quality to be a policeman."
He wanted to say that I thought I was also a ruenian, but was afraid that the gentleman on the opposite side would be angry.
Klein secretly went from sighed to the street slowly.
He saw along the way that the local clothing style is completely different from continent cities such as Beckland and Thengen, and even different from ports such as Demir and Bansi that have been colonized for more than two hundred years:
The decent man from Ruen wears a dress, a high hat, a bow tie, and carries a rod of civilization, so that the people around him can only be promised, dare not look directly, dare not touch, the other native or mixed race, like a thick jacket with a wide jacket Loose pants for the feet, plus a cap from continent, do not like black, advocating brown, coffee and light gray, for Klein, this is indeed a bit weird, but it also gives him the feeling of coming to a foreign country.
Of course, the higher status native and mixed-race are also imitating the dress of ruenian, thinking that this is the expression of civilization.
…………
At 2 pm, Swordfish Tavern, a recognized gathering place for adventurers.
There are not many drinkers at this time. Klein easily walked through the tables and arrived at the bar.
He found that the difference between this place and other places is that there are three blackboards supported by wooden shelves on the side of the bar, and there are white and yellowed notices on the bar, which are colorful, strange, and have bodyguards. Some people asked for help to find people, some investigated the situation of an island, some rewarded a pirate's head at a high price, and some claimed that they had obtained a treasure map and wanted to form a team. In short, in the Ruen Kingdom locality has been private detective and security companies The divided business is still an adventurer here.
"A cup of Zarha." Klein knocked off the bar surface.
This is a local malt beer. The price is cheap and the flavor is good. It is loved by adventurers. Klein is known from "Raging Flames" Danis.
"3p." bartender glanced at the guest at random, and there was no change in attitude because of the stranger's face.
After getting the beer, Klein sat on the stool in front of the bar, sipped it bit by bit, and quietly listened to the chats of the surrounding drinkers to find valuable goals.
After nearly an hour, the number of bar guests has increased, and Klein finally heard a topic that may be useful.
He is refreshed and focused.
There were four people sitting at the table less than 3 meters away from him, and he was sorry for a man named Winter's:
"I always thought that Winter went to sea, but I never expected that he has been at home and was very sick."
"Alas, if I knock on the door two days earlier, he will not die. You do n’t know how terrible the room is. Mushrooms grow on his body, one piece at a time, white."
"bullshit! Stop talking! Did n’t you see me eating sausage?"
"Okay, Winter's is full of bugs, moths, flies, butterflies, bees, cockroaches, Storms of the above. I ca n’t believe this is where human race lives. The police are also scared! "
......
A conversation came into the ear. Klein frowned slightly, and felt that Winter's was not normal to die. Within a few days, the body was covered with mushrooms, and various insects were flying in the room.
Related to extraordinary events? This kind of abnormality, the police will definitely report to the Justice Enforcer team ... Sounds like 3-4 a day ago, the processing should have been dealt with ... Klein seriously considered whether to take a look, at least the man named Winter's As an adventurer in Bayam alone, no companion wanted to pass on his death.
After listening for a long time, he initially grasped the place where Winter rented, which is in the nearby 47 Blackhorn Street apartment.
Drinking the last Zarha beer, Klein put on a hat, left the bar, and went straight to the apartment.
Entering the gate, he half closed his eyes and whispered to himself:
"The room where people have recently died."
After seven times in a row, Klein used a cane to quickly and easily walk outside the room where Winter lived.
It has not been rented out again, the exceptions have been dealt with, and it looks like nothing is wrong.
Klein put away the note paper used to open the door, and locked the door of the house with a backhand.
After confirming the situation, he took out pure dew essence, herbal powder and special candles and other item, and quickly arranged a "spiritism ceremony" in front of the bed.
Although several days have passed, only the most superficial, incoherent, and little residual information can be obtained, but Klein thinks that it is better than nothing.
There is no doubt that he is still praying to himself, then enters above the grey mist, responds, and gives spiritism the power.
The flame of the candle was suddenly raised, and it was stained with a dark blue color between shaking.
Klein only feels that everything is quiet, as if it has come to a realm that does not belong to reality.
His pupils are occupied by pure black, and even his white eyes are expelled.
There is no need to use the "dreamland divination" technique anymore. With the help of grey mist, who has been promoted to Faceless Man, he directly saw the remnants of Winter spirituality, and he did not want to dissipate.
There is a third officer screen. One is thin and tall, black hair is slightly curled, and the facial features are more profound. Winter came to a discarded corpse. Green gems; Second, Winter lying on the bed, eyes closed, mouth slightly turned, a variety of mushrooms growing on the skin surface, a pile of cockroach moths around, and on his chest, there is a silver The necklace, the pendant is the turquoise gemstone before it. The third is a young girl with flax-colored hair who has a beautiful face and moist eyes. She is sitting on the beach, surrounded by the unwilling voice of Winter:
"Rinny, I'm going to die, I regret it, regret never told you, I love you, I want you to marry me ..."
The picture is broken, spiritism is over, Klein looks around and finds that the house is still dark and gloomy.
This guy is really unlucky ... Klein shook his head and sighed.
He has initially grasped the cause of the death of Winter, that is, picking things up randomly:
The vast majority of Extraordinary did not know the Extraordinary characteristics immortality and conservation laws. They did n’t expect that the dead kin can also precipitate the characteristics and become materials, and this process is relatively slow and easy to be missed. So, after they killed Extraordinary, It is often searched again, and the corpse is thrown away, which is cheaper for passers-by such as Winter or living creature in the open sea.
Winter did n’t know it was Extraordinary characteristics, thought it was a magical gemstone, so it was made into a necklace and stored close to the body. As a result, it was slowly affected by pollution and died in pain.
Note 1: This is the breaking thing of the British East India Company in India. It is indeed a bureaucratic empire. There should be some in this regard. I laughed at me when I read the information before.
