Chapter 236 It’s so weird, take another look

"Eh?"

Melissa was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect that the other party would actually reply to her. Moreover, do nobles also need to take the exam?

Although the "Uniform Government Employee Examination" is nominally open to all classes across the country, even Melissa understands that nobles do not need the so-called exam to directly enter government jobs. The unified exam is essentially just a way forward for the people at the bottom.

aisle.

This can also be seen from the people around you:

Most of the people in the cafe are just like Melissa, ordering the cheapest bread, black tea or coffee, and most of their financial situation is not very good. Even if there are a few who are gorgeously dressed, it can be seen at a glance that they are similar to

The gap between the blond girl in front of me——

Their highest class could only be middle class, but the girl in front of them could be recognized as a noble at a glance.

Audrey watched Melissa quietly, taking in all her reactions.

Even though the other party didn't say it explicitly, Audrey, who was already a Dream Walker, could easily see through Melissa's reaction. There was suspicion, inferiority, and awe in her eyes, but there was no trust.

Although Audrey knew very well that most people would not trust a stranger they had just met. But even doubting every word she said was a bit too 'harsh'.

Audrey inexplicably thought of the words of Emperor Russell:

There has been a miserable thick barrier between us.

That was the emotion expressed by Emperor Russell in the classic "Hometown" written by him because he and his young friend Runtu were drifting apart due to their differences in status. It contained a deep sadness.

And now, even though Audrey and the girl in front of her were strangers, she felt this sadness as if she was feeling it.

What makes Audrey most uncomfortable is that the other party's suspicion is correct, and her and the other party's purposes are indeed different.

Before coming, she was filled with obvious joy. She even talked about it with Mr. Fool above the gray fog, just like an outstanding student reporting her achievements to her parents.

Because the "Uniform Examination for Government Employees" was originally proposed by The Fool, she secretly conveyed it to Earl Hall, which finally pushed the bill to be passed by the cabinet. Therefore, Audrey has always been very concerned about this examination.

She did come here to wait for Hibbert, but it was not without her own reasons...

"May I have your name?"

Audrey asked softly.

Melissa was a little nervous and whispered:

"Melissa Moretti."

"Melissa?"

Audrey repeated the name in a low voice, suddenly smiled, stood up and sat across from Melissa under Melissa's nervous gaze, and at the same time stretched out her hand towards the girl:

"Audrey Hall."

Melissa subconsciously reached out and shook her hand, but soon she seemed to think of something and exclaimed:

"Hall?"

Melissa, who has just arrived, has no idea how many nobles there are in Backlund and who they are. But there are three families that she is not unfamiliar with at all. The Augustus family, which is the royal family, and Negan, where the current prime minister is located.

The Duke family, and the Hall family who introduced the "Uniform Examination for Government Employees" bill!

Anyone who is a Loen must know about the former two, but they originally didn’t know about the latter. After all, what happens in the cabinet is strictly confidential, and civilians are not qualified to know the details of cabinet meetings. But just in the past month, major newspapers have

They enthusiastically reported on the information provided by "well-informed sources", which gave the common people the opportunity to understand some of the cabinet meetings and how Earl Hall "overcame all the opposition" to get this bill passed.

According to Benson, this was a big move by the Hall family to win over people's hearts in advance. But this move was undoubtedly successful. Many civilians who passed the first round of exams were grateful to Earl Hall for this. Once these people entered

If you work in government, you will become a loyal supporter of the Hall family.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Hall family, who single-handedly promoted the unified examination for government employees, are definitely the top nobles in the Loen Kingdom!

And now, members of this family are sitting in front of him...

"Any questions?"

Audrey winked playfully.

"No, it's nothing..."

Melissa's lips moved, and she didn't know how to answer for a moment, so she had to shake her head in denial.

Audrey seems to be a little different from the nobles in her impression...

——

Above the gray fog, Klein emerged from his dream with a strange expression.

Just as he regularly divines the status of Ember, he also regularly divines the status of Benson and Melissa. And of course he also knows that this day is the day when Benson will take the second examination of the Unified Government Employees Examination, so of course he will

Pay attention, but this dream seems a little different...

Klein murmured in a low voice:

"That noble girl seems familiar..."

A familiar figure flashed in Klein's mind, and he instinctively combined the two figures together.

Klein's eyes twitched:

"Miss Justice?"

Although he has never met Miss Justice in real life, by observing Miss Justice's words and deeds above the gray fog, he can also judge some of the other person's characteristics:

Smooth and shiny golden hair, green eyes like pure gems, elegant temperament, a privileged birth, an upper-class noble in Loen, a rich young woman with no shortage of money...

And these characteristics are almost completely consistent with the noble girl who came into contact with Melissa in the dream!

Of course, this alone is not enough to prove that the aristocratic girl in Stone Hammer is Audrey.

After all, there are many upper-class nobles in the entire Loen Kingdom who use blond hair and blue eyes as a symbol of nobility, so girls from noble families can basically match these characteristics - blond hair, blue eyes, noble temperament, little rich woman who is not short of money...

What is most familiar to Klein is a trait shared by the two -

audience.

Whether it is Miss Justice or this aristocratic girl, they are observing everything around them just like the audience, and at the same time, they carefully disguise themselves to avoid exposing their true thoughts.

In addition, there is a big golden retriever dog at the feet of the noble girl. That dog also shows the characteristics of the audience——

This is exactly the same as the imaginary 'friend' Miss Justice once mentioned who accidentally gave the pet the magic potion.

And with so many 'coincidences' combined together, it's hard not to make people make unreasonable associations.

"But if it's really Miss Justice, why is she involved with Melissa?"

Klein frowned slightly. Of course he didn't think Miss Justice would be detrimental to Melissa and Benson, but the meeting between the two was a bit strange after all. After all, the two parties were not in the same class at all. One was the upper echelon of the ruling class of the Kingdom of Loen.

A nobleman, and the other is just Cinderella, who comes from an ordinary family and has never even gone to college. Logically speaking, the two should never intersect.

So why do they appear in their dreams at the same time? What is the intersection that prompted them to meet?

Klein simulated and eliminated every option in his mind, finally settling on the most likely one:

“Uniform Examination for Government Employees!”

"Yes! Although the idea of ​​this bill was proposed by me, it was submitted by Miss Justice."

"For Miss Justice, this may be a kind of joy of watching children grow up... Well, the metaphor is not very appropriate, but the meaning should be similar."

"Miss Justice has shown a strong sense of 'ownership' in the past. As one of the first two members to join the Tarot Club, she has been actively guiding and helping other members understand and integrate into the Tarot Club."

"Even occasionally, he will replace the 'Fool' and share some information that cannot be spoken by the 'Fool'."

"It is normal for such a 'Justice' lady to pay attention to the unified examination for government employees promoted by her. And since this bill is promoted by her family, it is normal for her to pay attention."

"But, it still feels a little strange..."

Klein had a weird expression, hesitated for two seconds, and decided to do another divination:

"It's so weird, take another look!"

——

Middenheim, early morning.

Ember and the others finally found a hotel before dawn, rented a room and stayed in it. It cost them one silver coin. Calculated based on the exchange of one gold coin for ten silver coins, the seven gold coins given by the guard were enough for them to stay for two

There are still many months left.

But obviously, they won't stay here for that long——

Although two months is not long, it obviously won't take that long to do what Yi Yan wants to do.

The reason why three people lived in one room was not because Yuan Jin wanted to save money or because he was in trouble. Because he originally planned to rent three rooms directly. Anyway, seven gold coins were given for free, so there was no shortage of money.

But Lilith strongly protested against this and wanted to save money no matter what, so she thought it would be enough to rent only two rooms.

Yi Yan didn't have any problem with this. He had one room, and Lilith and Onya had one room, which was just right.

However, this proposal was unexpectedly rejected.
