Chapter 80 Invitation to the Dinner Party

After dinner, Klein, who had enough food and drink, sat leisurely on the sofa in the living room and cut the letter from the instructor with a knife.

At this time, Melissa was sitting at the dining table, illuminating the gas lamp, calculating the exercises in the book, while Benson was sleeping on a single sofa, holding the "Elementary Accounting Tutorial".

Shaking open the three pages of the letter paper, Klein looked over with some expectations and fear:

“…I’m glad to hear from you, which makes me miss the past few years of life, and unfortunately, Welch and Naya left us forever…”

"I attended their funerals separately and felt the great sadness of their parents. These are two young people who should have a brilliant future..."

"Fate is always unpredictable, and no one can know what will come to us in the next moment. The older I am and the more things I have seen, the more I can feel the fragility and helplessness of being a human being."

"...I remember the historical information about the main peak of Hornages you mentioned, the archaeologist John Joseph once published a monograph describing his experiences at the main peak of the Hornages Mountains in detail. He discovered several ancient buildings, more than a thousand years ago."

"What makes every historian and archaeologist feel ashamed is that we lack the way to pinpoint the age and can only make rough judgments based on the style of the architecture, the characteristics of the murals, and a small amount of recognizable words."

"It is hard to believe that there will be human settlements on such a high mountain. Mr. Joseph has sufficient evidence that those humans have developed their own civilization, unique civilization, and the specific situation is difficult to describe clearly in the letter. I suggest you go to the Deville Library to try to borrow that monograph. Believe me, the library donated by Sir Deville has more books than the one established by the municipal government."

"The name of that monograph is "Research on the Ancient Relics of the Main Peak of Hornaches", published by Ruenren Publishing House."

"In addition, some papers have mentioned related situations, which are published in journals such as "New Archaeology" and "Archaeology Review". The specific name and issue number are..."

...

Klein read the monograph and the paper title mentioned by the tutor repeatedly recited several times.

Immediately afterwards, he took out the letter paper, found the pen, and expressed his gratitude in written language.

"Melissa, please send this letter for me tomorrow. This is the postage." Klein put the packaged letter and the excess postage next to his sister's book.

Melissa glanced at her and pursed her lips and said:

"Kline, the postage doesn't need that much."

"Yes, postage doesn't require that much, but girls need some pocket money." Klein responded with a smile, "I think Selena should have told you this."

Seeing that Melissa was still a little resistant, he hurriedly added:

“It can help you buy the materials you want, the tools you want.”

"Tool..." Melissa repeated in a low voice, her eyes shifted to the book, and nodded slightly, "Okay."

Klein's mouth suddenly curled up, and he walked back to the sofa with a brisk pace.

"Very great persuasion, I found Melissa's weakness accurately." Benson raised his thumb and smiled in a low voice.

Klein cleared his throat and answered seriously:

"Then how should I convince you? Your self-study should focus on grammar and classical literature. Of course, basic mathematics and logic are equally important."

According to the courses of public schools and grammar schools, and based on the content of the university entrance examination, Klein can almost grasp the general direction of the "civil service examination" that has not yet been born.

Benson touched his hairline and said with a self-deprecating smile:

"In front of those books, I felt like a curly baboon."

"But they are really useful enough," Klein said firmly with a smile.

At this moment, Melissa put down her pen, stood up, walked to the sofa and said:

"Benson, Klein, this Sunday is Selena's birthday. She and her parents want to invite our family to the dinner. Are you free?"

"I should have no problem." Klein thought about it.

It just so happens that I can get to know my sister's friend, so as not to find someone to ask if Melissa has something to do in the future!

"So too." Benson said, combed his hair with his fingers, "It seems we have to consider a birthday gift for Miss Selena."

Klein smiled and said:

"This is left to Melissa, who knows Miss Selena better than we do, and all we need to do is what a gentleman should do, pay."

"The first time I heard someone describe lazyness so beautifully." Benson shook his head and chuckled.

Klein smiled back:

"This is what grammar and classical literature do."

"..." Benson didn't expect the topic to get back together and couldn't find any language to deal with it.

…………

The next day, Klein, wearing his original cheap formal outfit and carrying a black silver-inlaid cane, climbed up the stairs step by step to the door of Black Thorn Security Company - his tuxedo had been sent to the cloak shop for mending.

Klein was about to say hello to Roshan when he suddenly saw Captain Dunn coming out of the partition.

"Good morning, Klein, did you sleep well last night?" Dunn asked with concern.

Klein answered truthfully:

"Better than I thought, I didn't have nightmares. But when I recalled, I was still a little heavy and disgusting."

"Very good, I can rest assured." Dunn smiled and nodded.

After chatting about the weather again, he took the initiative to mention:

"The Church has responded to my telegram, asking Al and Lorota to immediately send the seal '2-049' and the notes of the Antigonus family to Beckland, and sent another nightclub to take the steam train yesterday afternoon to help."

"I think they should have set out now."

Already set out? Does that mean I have completely gotten rid of the shadow of Antigonus family notes? Klein was stunned, feeling that he was not real enough, as if he was dreaming.

This is much easier than I imagined...

There should be no follow-up?

"May the goddess bless them and may they go smoothly." After a few seconds, Klein drew a symbol of a crimson moon on his chest.

Dunn put on his hat and pointed at the outsider:

"I have to go to inspect the Raphael Cemetery. Oh, forget about one thing. Leonard and the police have achieved some results in the pursuit of the members of the Secretariat. They found the coachman who carried them and determined their temporary residence in Tingen, but they were very cautious and left no particularly valuable clues."

"It is worthy of being an ancient secret organization." Klein echoed with emotion.

Dunn nodded, turned around and walked towards the door.

Three seconds later, he stopped and turned around and said:

"Also, if you apply to become a full member, it may take two to three days to reply to the church. Haha, this is under the jurisdiction of different departments and is different from the matters of Antigonus family notes."

"I understand." Klein replied sincerely.

At the same time, he helped the captain silently add something in his heart:

Remember to submit your reimbursement application today!

Watching Dunn leave, Klein heard the brown-haired girl Rosan's surprised voice:

"Goddess, Klein, are you going to be a full member? I remember you have been joining us for less than a month!"

Klein smiled and said:

"After I took the 'Titser' potion, this is something that will definitely come."

"It makes sense..." Luo Shan stayed for a few seconds and suddenly lamented, "I also pray that you will complete the mystery course as soon as possible and add to the list of rotating weapons arsenal. As a result... Goddess, it's night every two days. I'm not a sleepless person! My skin, my state, Goddess, save me!"

"Aren't you used to this kind of life? Before I joined, you and Bright, Old Neil were always on the rotation, right?" Klein asked in confusion.

Luo Shan shook her head with a sad expression:

"No, there were four before, five earlier. Unfortunately, Cohenli chose to become a 'sleepless man'. Viola did not renew her contract last month and joined Hoynore Machinery Company. She is a very talented girl with talent, but she lacks opportunities and money. Five years of civilian life have given her enough accumulation."

Speaking of this, Luo Shan suddenly glanced at Klein, covered her mouth and smiled:

"I thought of a good idea. Klein, you should get married as soon as possible, and then accidentally expose the extraordinary secret to her. This is a very minor leak and there will be no particularly serious punishment. After all, no one can hide the person who sleeps in the same bed for a long time. At that time, you can introduce her to join us and become a civilian! The perfect plan!"

Klein's mouth moved slightly:

"Miss Luo Shan, you can also find a husband as soon as possible. This should be easier. I believe you have enough ways to reveal the secret to him."

When Luo Shan heard this, her eyes widened and her mouth half opened:

"How can this be done? Marriage is a very serious matter, and it must be carefully observed, carefully selected, and verified for a certain amount of time."

That's not what you said just now... Klein did not reason with Miss Luo Shan, smiled and greeted him a few times, said goodbye and entered the underground.

When he arrived at the arsenal, he saw Old Neil grinding coffee with his hands, so he sat down and waited patiently.

"You should be an official member soon, right?" Old Neil asked casually while filtering.

"The captain said it will take two to three days, and I don't know if the church will approve it." Klein answered frankly.

"Hey." Old Neil laughed, "The temple will not reject such a thing, especially if you have become an extraordinary person."

Speaking of this, he turned his head and looked at Klein with a smile and said:

"You have to be mentally prepared. Every official member of the Night Watch must pass a ceremony, that is, to complete a task independently. Of course, Dunn will definitely choose the very easy and simple type for the newcomers, and you are also an auxiliary diviner."
