Just when Miss Justice was proudly informing several members of the Tarot meeting about the progress of the government employee exam, in a cafe near King's Avenue in Backlund, Melissa was holding a ceramic teaspoon, gently stirring the lemon.
Drinking black tea, her eyes looked out the window covered with white fog from time to time. Seeing that the fog became thick again, she stretched out her hand and wiped it gently in front of the window, clearing a relatively clear space.
Just as she was looking out of the window with her eyes slightly out of focus, a series of footsteps suddenly stopped beside her. Melissa turned her head warily, only to see a young man with a poetic temperament, and he
The most special thing about him is the pair of bright red gloves.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Leonard, what's up?"
"Good afternoon, Melissa, are you waiting for Benson?" Looking at the girl's worried look, Leonard asked knowingly, then seemed to realize that he was talking nonsense, and turned to comfort: "Don't worry, Ben
Sen’s foundation is very solid, and after becoming a ‘lawyer’, his memory has also improved significantly, so he will definitely be able to pass the test.”
"Yes, I know." There was an inexplicable coldness in Melissa's tone. It was not that she disliked the young man in front of her, but because... the other person's identity was too embarrassing.
After all, it was this gentleman who gave his family the Klein pension in the first place.
This made Melissa always feel that she owed the other party a big favor, and also owed a huge sum of money. The most helpless thing was that she could not even reasonably return the money to the other party or the church.
Of course, Leonard also understood the embarrassment of the girl in front of him, because he himself was also very embarrassed. During this month, during the breaks between tasks, he would always drop by to visit the Moretti brothers and sisters, and "accidentally" discovered each other
As an extraordinary person, he also provided some guidance.
But he didn't reveal that he knew that Klein was still alive, because he didn't know at all whether the brother and sister knew that Klein was still alive. If they knew, that would be fine, but in case they didn't know, he
This person who lied about the death suddenly jumped out and said that the person was not dead in fact, which was really embarrassing. More importantly, he, a mere red glove, should not know that Klein was not dead.
As a result, both parties maintained the awkward state of "I know that Klein is not dead, but I don't know if the other party knows that Klein is not dead, so they can only hide the secret that Klein is not dead."
Fortunately, this embarrassing situation did not last long. As the door of the coffee shop was pushed open, seven or eight men and women rushed in first. Benson took off his somewhat old hat and did not have time to comb his hair that almost reached the top of his head with his fingers.
As soon as I reached the edge, I noticed my sister who had already stood up, and the gentleman from the Church of the Night who was sitting opposite her.
Before Benson could wonder why this gentleman was waiting for him with his sister, he heard Melissa's slightly nervous voice -
"I passed... Well, were today's test questions difficult?"
"It may be difficult for others, but I don't have any problems. Arithmetic is my specialty, not to mention that I am still a lawyer... Well, although it is not as good as you, the strengthening of my mind is still quite obvious.
"
Benson looked around and saw that everyone was discussing and no one was paying attention, so he used his eyes to suppress his sister's desire to continue the discussion, looked at Leonard and said:
"Mr. Leonard, why did you come to us today?"
At this time, Benson was actually quite worried. He was worried that the gentleman in front of him would have a showdown with Melissa. Although he was not opposed to Melissa's free love, the gentleman in front of him seemed to be engaged in a high-risk profession. He had already
Having experienced the pain of losing a loved one, she didn’t want Melissa to experience it again.
Fortunately for him, the gentleman only bowed slightly politely, and then whispered:
"I have some things to do recently. I'm afraid I won't be able to return to Backlund for a while. Well, if you have anything, you can go to this address for help. If it's too late, you can also ask him for help through the messenger. This gentleman
It's Klein...well, a good friend of Klein's before his death...he will definitely help you."
Melissa and Benson looked at the address and messenger summoning spell that Leonard handed over, and a hint of complexity flashed in their eyes, because this was the second time they saw the same address and messenger summoning spell——
That was what Klein left for the two of them before leaving Backlund, and it was exactly the same.
"It seems that the relationship between this gentleman and his brother is really unusual." Melissa recalled in her mind the gentleman who put a cat on his expensive suit, but Benson accepted it without any surprise.
Mantra, say one word sincerely:
"Thanks."
"You're welcome. After all, Klein saved my life." Leonard shook his head, turned to look at the clock on the wall, and then said:
"It's time for me to go."
…
Backlund, Joe Wood District.
Forsi, who returned from the Tarot Club, tried her best and finally defeated the laziness caused by the fireplace. She changed into a dark blue thick cotton skirt, wrapped a light gray scarf, put on a warm soft hat, and
The temperature was not too low, but the weather was foggy and bone-chilling. I left the rented house and took a carriage to Williams Street.
She took a breath of cold air and began to hesitate between completing the mission of Mr. World and completing the mission of Mr. Devil.
Well, she didn't choose to do neither, not because she changed her temper, but because - her conscience had begun to hurt.
…
"So soon? Is it dinner?" Klein, who had just exchanged the misol that had been delivered to his door in the morning for a bounty, heard that familiar whisper before he could count the gold pounds he had received.
He glanced at the clock on the wall, took four steps back suspiciously, and arrived above the gray mist. Then he saw the sacrifice request from Mr. Demon.
"It's actually been completed? Although the last time I gave the big sword to Little Sun was only one afternoon, is it too fast?" Klein frowned slightly, but still accepted Mr. Demon's sacrifice, and as the summoning door was opened
Pushing it open, an exaggerated-looking revolver appeared in a palace like a giant's residence along with the product description.
Klein was attracted by the shape of the revolver almost at a glance. On the mechanical structure full of violent beauty, the carefully carved rose pattern was dyed with a layer of eerie roasted blue. Just taking a look at it, Klein was stunned.
Already like this weapon.
However, the soothsayer's caution allowed him to restrain the urge to test the gun immediately. He reached out and picked up the product description. The first thing that caught his eye was the name of the gun——
