Start with the Readers Chapter 433: News from the Southern Continent
The latest website: Backlund.
In the previous two days, Klein and Mike "visited" many places in the Eastern District under the guidance of the old Kohler.
They have seen five or six people squeezed into one room, and this is not the worst situation. An ordinary bedroom can sleep ten people. Partitioning is the norm.
Seeing homeless people who were driven out in the middle of the night and wandered the streets like living corpses,
I saw the girls standing numbly on the street or in the bar, and those alcoholics who indulged in alcoholism, did not hesitate to violence, and did not want to think about the future at all.
Seeing the dust in the white lead factory and the female workers without any protective measures...
After two days of interviews, the only bright spot is that the laundry woman named Liv insisted that her daughters go to the church's night school...
But this bright color only belongs to those souls who don't give in to fate... Its existence will only make the bad environment of the Eastern District even more unbearable!
Witnessing all this, as a reporter with a sense of justice, although Mike is not too young, his style is relatively stingy, and he would do anything for interviews from time to time...but he still kept his original intention, so he was outraged stand up.
In fact, his investigation was originally entrusted by a big man, but after a few days of visits, he now really wants to do something for the East District, for the real low-level people living here.
As for the reporter, the most powerful weapon is the pen in his hand! Not only did he want to truthfully report the situation here to that big shot, but he also wanted to write an editorial so that more people could understand the real situation in the Eastern District!
"This is like a large-scale **** sacrifice ceremony, except that the goal is the flashing money symbol... If cult organizations such as the Aurora Society and the Rose School of thought can make good use of similar things, just like Lanerus did in Tingen In that case, the problem is big..."
Klein, who was thinking so in his heart, was also deeply shocked. Although he knew and had contact with the lives of the poor when he was a Nighthawk, but this time the all-round, three-dimensional observation brought an abyss in the world. Completely presented in front of his eyes...
"Go back, my investigation and interview are almost done." After a long silence with clenching fists, Mike sighed.
Then they walked towards the bridge area under the leadership of the old Kohler. They were silent all the way and no one spoke.
"I hope that the Earl of Eastchester can find a practical way to improve the living conditions of the poor in the Eastern District after receiving my report..." Mike sighed with emotion when he was about to part, but his voice became more and more serious. Low.
"The Earl of East Chester?" Klein felt as if he had heard this name somewhere before. After thinking about it for a while, he recalled that the landlord, Mrs. Starling Summer, once said that the Air Pollution Commissioner The chief secretary seems to be the eldest son of the Earl of Eastchester.
Thinking of Mrs. Starling, he suddenly remembered that she seemed to have invited him to participate in a blind date reported to her house tonight when she was at the Kragg Club... No, it was a dinner party?
"Yes, that is a real great nobleman... and he commissioned my investigation interview." After Mike explained a little, he sighed again, "It's a pity that even such a big man, I'm afraid it will be difficult to bring about big changes..."
"At least he is willing to understand the real situation at the bottom, isn't he? This shows that he really has the intention to change." Klein comforted the other party.
"I hope so... But even if the upper echelon still doesn't do anything, I will write everything I have seen and heard in the past two days in the report, so that more knowledgeable and caring gentlemen can pay attention to this issue ’” Mike said, shaking his fist.
Then I suggest that you send the article directly to the diocesan bishops of the major churches... After Klein muttered, he said goodbye to the preoccupied reporter Mike.
After he left, Klein developed the old Kohler into his own informant in the East District with the mentality of "the fivepenny party with its own dry food", and asked him to pay close attention to the activities of some cults here.
After all the way back to his home on Minsk Street, Klein, who was tired in his heart, was just about to fall asleep, but at this moment, Miss "Judgement"'s illusory pleading sounded in his ears.
"Miss 'Judgment' collected 2,200 pounds? She didn't ask Mr. Tower to borrow it... It seems that I, the 'fool', is the poorest in the Tarot Club..."
Although Klein was a little surprised, he still took four steps backwards, entered the ancient palace above the gray mist, and accepted the "sacrifice" from Miss "Judgment".
"Well, after going to the landlady's house for dinner at night, I still have to wait for Miss Sharon to arrive at home, and exchange with her the materials Miss Judgment needs...
"Tomorrow there will be a Tarot Club, and the night after that, I will go to the sixth floor of the 'Dream Labyrinth Tower' with Ms. Sharon...
"I feel very busy all of a sudden!"
Just as Klein expressed emotion, the crimson star that symbolized Mr. "Tower" rapidly expanded and contracted, and he subconsciously spread his spirituality over, only to hear the "request" for him to "give" Mithor's body ".
"Morgue the corpse for one day, and don't even pay the corpse management fee..." Although Klein muttered, he still opened the "Summoning Gate" and threw the remaining bag into it.
The matter of losing the "Fallen Morning Star" has always made him a little bit unreasonable, so he is always quite "tolerant" to the "Tower"'s request.
"After all, I am a 'fool' of 'equivalent exchange'!"
After making fun of himself, Klein simulated the feeling of falling and returned to the bedroom. He fell asleep and slept until it was dark. When evening came, the landlady's maid rang the doorbell and woke him up.
…
Bayam, "Aromatic Manor", in the master bedroom.
After receiving the body bag given by "The Fool", Abner, who transformed into "Doctor Strange", arranged the rituals required to perform the "Teleportation" and exchanged it from the "Dream Labyrinth Tower". A slightly transparent dark spell.
Then, he recited a lengthy incantation, combined with the incantation in his hand, "borrowed" a certain "special power" from the spirit world, and passed it into the ceremony.
Then the exchanged "Teleportation Charm" suddenly disappeared, turning into a circular "door" with sparks flickering around its edges.
Seeing this, Abner didn't dare to waste time, grabbed the bag containing "Smart Talker" Misol King, and stepped into the door in one step.
Different from the feeling of being "shuttled" by Mr. Azik, the "travel" through the "Edwards-Bryan Teleportation Technique" has a clear altar for "positioning", so it is only seen Countless transparent shadows with indescribable shapes, after discovering the bright and pure brilliance of endless knowledge in the highest places, they involuntarily walked out from another "door" formed by sparks.
Then, Abner saw Edwina with her hair down, standing not far away holding a pocket watch.
And the room he was in was filled with all kinds of weird objects, including a huge key, a left-right asymmetrical coin similar to the "Solomon Gold Coin" he gave to Hugh, and a parchment-bound coin. A finished book...
Is this the collection room of "Vice Admiral Iceberg"? It seems that in her heart, the teleportation altar is also one of the collections... Abner looked at it and made a judgment in his heart.
"What time did you leave?" Edwina asked like a serious scientific researcher.
"Two thirty." Abner replied affirmatively. This was originally one of the projects of this "teleportation" experiment, so he naturally would not forget to record the time.
"When you came out of the 'door', it was 2:30 and 10 seconds... ten seconds? As far as I know, the average 'traveler' crossing such a distance is about this time... ...It seems that the technology we developed is very successful,"
Edwina looked at the disappearing 'door' with bright eyes, and her expression became much more vivid.
She once tried to "imitate" the "travel" of the "traveler", but unfortunately she failed. Although this secret technique is troublesome and expensive, it is the "sign" of her conquest of this field, which makes her very successful feel.
In comparison, although Abner was also happy with the success of this technique, he was not as pure as Edwina, so after being excited for a while, he will talk about "business" and put the bag Handed over to the other party:
"The bounty we got in exchange can be divided into two or eight."
Edwina put it aside indifferently, nodded and said: "Yes."
Then, after she invited Abner to visit her many collections, she seemed to think of something, looked at him and said:
"Maria sent a messenger to me a day ago, saying that someone found the Finx lion in the southern part of the Pass River Valley in the southern continent, near the Star Plateau in Daniel Valley."
Abner's eyes lit up when he heard the words, he thought about the map of the southern continent he had seen in his mind, and asked: "Is there a more specific location?"
After all, Daniel Valley is not small...
"According to Maria, the people who saw Finks were all dead, and they knew what happened to them through the remnants of their spirits... and the place where those people died was the west side of Dal Lake in the valley. .” Edwina relayed to Abner the letter “sent” by Maria in detail.
After she finished speaking, she paused, and added: "I just happened to be going to the Southern Continent recently... I can just use this to test the transmission distance and corresponding time of the 'Edwards-Bryan Teleportation Technique' .”
You mean ~IndoMTL.com~ let me keep teleporting between Bayam and Golden Dream as you sail? Thanks to my "Teleportation Charm", it's just more "liver"...
Abner complained in his heart, but on the surface he agreed very simply: "Okay!"
At this time, the door outside the collection was knocked suddenly, and then Danitz's voice came:
"Captain, a ghost ship has appeared in the nearby waters."
…
On Monday, in the City of Silver, Derrick at the bottom of the round tower suddenly had gray fog in front of his eyes, and the deep voice of "The Fool" sounded in his ears:
"Get ready for the party."
Just as the boundless crimson light gushed out of the void, drowning Derrick's astral body, the former captain of the exploration team next door to him suddenly knocked on the wall of the metal cubicle...
But it didn't ring the third ring for chatting as usual!
