See Alfred, Klein smiled back and nodded gently:
"I suddenly felt a little dangerous."
After he finished, he turned around calmly and walked to the carriage pointed by Hargis.
"Danger ..." Alfred repeated the word in a low voice and looked around alertly, but found nothing strange.
He slowed his pace, always paying attention to his surroundings, and returned to the three-story building not far away cautiously.
Pagen glanced at the dignified Alfred and asked with some doubt:
"what happened?"
He was not far away from the arms trading site, and he was unable to hear the conversation over there.
Alfred walked to the window, looked down at the horse team that had finished carrying the arms and was about to leave, and said with consideration:
"Dawn Dantes suddenly left, saying that there is a dangerous hunch."
"Dangerous?" Pagen didn't care, looked around back and forth, but the people of Mesanes stayed away from this area and disappeared into the darkness. He couldn't detect anything wrong.
He immediately smiled:
"haha, Alfred, you are too sensitive, I think it is purely Dawn Dantes timid and unwilling to stay here too much!"
Alfred looked back and frowned slightly:
"Maybe."

After returning to the rented hotel, Klein asked "Winner" Enzo, who became a mixed-race young man, to open the box in his hand and take out the gold bars and coins inside one by one, and the points were clear.
A total of valuable 30.000 Ruen gold pound property here!
"Fortunately, I agreed with Miss Courier that the gold equal to 10.000 Ruen gold coins, no need to be exchanged ..." Klein sitting leisurely in the easy chair while drinking a sweet and sour "Gwadar" beverage, While "supervising" Secret Puppet work.
When Enzo finished dividing the property, he took out adventurer harmonica, put it to his mouth, and blew it.
The Renette Tinichole carrying four blond hair, red eyes heads immediately stepped out of the void, as if they had been nearby.
Her eight eyes turned at the same time, looking at the pile of gold coins and bars.
After a few seconds, the four heads carried by Renette Tinichole said in turn:
"Very good ..." "Later ..." "Tasks ..." "Price increase ..."
...... Where is the logic before and after this? I paid the reward so promptly and so quickly, why do I have to increase the price for the task in the future? Klein froze for a second and sat upright and asked:
"What?"
Renette Tinichole ’s four blond hair, red eyes heads nodded seriously:
"Task ..." "Pricing ..." "Depends on ..." "You ..." "Make money ..." "The ..." "Ability ..."
It can also be done ... Klein opened his mouth and could not refute. After all, this kind of thing is a unilateral decision by the helper. Moreover, as he is promoted to Sequence Four and becomes half God, it will be estimated that the mission will need the help of Miss Courier in the future More and more difficult and more and more dangerous, the fare increase seems to be taken for granted.
Wait until Renette Tinichole swallowed the pile of gold coins and gold bars and disappeared in the room, Klein calmed his thoughts and began to reckon his current property:
"This period of time is not a small expense, there are 17275 pounds of banknotes and 65 gold coins left ... The pile of gold bars is worth 25,000 pounds ... A total of more than 40,000 pounds of property is not small in the entire Ruen Kingdom, you can buy Manor Hetian has produced ... arms trading can really make money ... "
—— Renette Tinichole first needs gold coins, so the rest are all gold bars.
After standing up and getting the gold bar to above the grey mist, Klein walked to the window and turned his eyes to the north.
The matter here is preliminary, he will return to Beckland next.
Staring at the horizon for a while, Klein suddenly sighed silently:
"Beckland ..."
…………
northern district, Beckland Technological University.
Audrey is walking on campus with several "Ruen Charity Foundation" staff.
She wore a light green simple dress with a white, undecorated belt around her waist, long blond hair surrounded by a slightly playful gauze hat with ribbon flowers, no accessories on her body, only the left wrist A silver bracelet looks no different from a female student whose family conditions can only be called medium.
—— Since this time, she has been to public elementary schools on the edge of eastern district and has visited technical schools in the Beckland bridge district domain. The event is regarded as a social occasion.
The turquoise and clear pupils rotates slightly, Audrey with a light smile, and carefully observes the situation of the students.
These days are the days when Beckland Technological University sends out the admission notice and the new students come to register.
Originally, the latter should be conducted at the end of August and early September, but Beckland Technological University is a new school just established. The entrance examination is later than other universities, and the results are also the same. This means that the students who applied for them may also have participated in the other University exams have even been accepted, so they will advance the registration work to verify the number of people and determine how much additional registration is required.
For this reason, the staff of Audrey and "Ruen Charity Foundation" came here to cooperate with the first batch of approved applicants to go through the admission procedures.
What she sees, she finds that the students on this campus are all radiant, with obvious self-confidence in her manners, with words and deeds full of indescribable vigor, she seems full of longing for the future and can see See the light.
And this is the same as Audrey The experience in several public elementary schools is very different. The students in those places are either rude, noisy, silent, or gloomy. Their common point is that they are often confused and uncomfortable. outsider Fearing shrinking from time to time, his eyes are bleak, lacking the high-spirited youth should have.
"I really hope that these children have the opportunity to receive higher education, and they can work like a student here for a better future ..." Audrey silently sighed and glanced at the pair of men and women who should be brothers and sisters. .
The older brother obviously entered the society and started to work. He wore silk top hat and a thin black formal dress. His appearance was about 30 years old, and he had the temperament of a government employee.
He did n’t know where to borrow an older camera, placed it on a stand, and motioned his sister to move her body and adjust her posture while looking for the best angle.
Sister 17-18 is old, her black hair is simply covered, she has a little helplessness in her brown eyes, but she said nothing, and listened carefully to her brother's command.
Similar combinations are everywhere on campus, some are parents and children, and some are together.
"It's such a beautiful scene ..." Audrey withdrew his eyes and moved forward.
There is a square with a retired steam locomotive in the center. Its huge and complex body stands proudly, adding a bit of industrial temperament to Beckland Technological University.
…………
Wū !
The monster-like steam locomotive sprayed thin smoke and dragged its long body into the platform, slower and slower.
A 7-8-year-old doll-like mixed-race little girl took her mother's hand and waited in a long queue. She was very excited to ask the father of the same Ruen and Balam mixed-race about the status of Disu Bay.
When she moved slowly, she saw a gentleman with white temples wearing top hat holding a golden cane and a brownish-colored servant, walking towards the location of the first-class carriage.
The servant glanced around curiously:
"Sir, what I saw during this time is not the same as what I imagined. I originally thought that Balam people will have a very hard time, very painful, chaotic, dirty, poor, and depressed everywhere. , They can still drink "Gwadar" drinks, smoke East Balam cigarettes, and even some can afford bicycles, um, you know, although I have Balam bloodline, but I was born in Beckland, I had southern continent from the future before, of course, I The Tutan language is pretty good. "
The handsome middle-aged and elderly gentleman chuckled and raised his cane:
“That ’s because we went to pretty good cities and pretty good areas, and most of the most tragic Balam people are in the countryside. In those plantations, the rest are settled around factories to form slums, We have never had a chance to see. "
It seemed that she was aware of the little girl's gaze, and the blue-eyed gentleman and his servant looked over and smiled.
The corners of their mouths were obviously raised, all of them exposed eight teeth, then nodded slightly, withdrew their eyes and continued to move forward.
Soon, the little girl and her parents boarded the steam train and found their own seat.
When the voice of "wū" sounded again, the little girl saw a dark brown complexion, a soft outline, and a red and swollen little man on the side of the face, with his head lowered, hand pressed top hat, passed quickly, and went straight to the head of the train .
The man immediately knocked on the isolation door, flashed into the cab, and said to the train:
"All the train crews have been replaced by ours, and the bridge in front will be the place where sacrifices are held."
The trainman with a thick beard nodded and said:
"May God be satisfied with the offering of this car.
"May we have eternal life in his kingdom."
Wū !
The steam train drove across one bridge and another bridge. After a long journey, it arrived at the destination port very smoothly.
The doll-like mixed-race little girl was a little tired, not as lively as before. Under the traction of her parents, she followed the crowd of passengers and moved towards the door step by step.
Several trainmen standing at the door are helping some passengers take their luggage out of the carriage.
When the little girl and her parents passed by, all of these train crews raised their mouths, showing eight teeth, and gave a warm smile.
After jumping to the platform, the little girl turned back and looked at the steam locomotive. I saw a figure standing outside the door, I do n’t know what to discuss. Among them, there seemed to be a train conductor, and there were lumps on the side of the face Man.
In less than a second, all of these people turned their heads to look around, and the corners of their mouths turned up one after another, revealing eight teeth.
The little girl withdrew her gaze and left the platform with her parents a little bit.
