At night, Audrey was holding a sheet of music and humming the melody, somewhat absentmindedly.
She was actually waiting for Mr. Fool's response.
It's been almost an hour. It turns out that Mr. Fool's response is not always quick... Although she knows that this situation is normal, and even not responding to prayers is normal, Audrey still can't help but feel... Think about it a little bit.
After all... Mr. "Fool" is different.
Suddenly, a thick gray fog appeared out of thin air, covering her normal vision, allowing her to see the figure standing high on the ancient chair above the gray fog——
Mr. "Fool" finally responded to her.
After hearing her affirmation of her approach, Audrey was relieved and no longer so anxious.
After paying the commission fee of 10,000 pounds, the only debt I have with Mr. Fool is the formula of "Prayer of Light"... It feels much easier now. It feels good that the debt is almost paid off... Oh Delly put the music score against her chest and thought with her dimples showing.
Her accumulated annuity balance that has not yet been invested is about 12,000 pounds, but in order not to attract the attention of Earl Hall, the amount that can be used must be far less than this amount. After calculation, she thinks that 5,000 pounds It is a critical point and it is best not to exceed it.
Therefore, she planned to borrow another 9,000 pounds from Viscount Greent and pay it back in installments to reduce the possibility of flaws being discovered due to financial constraints.
As for her promise to invest in Kaoyim Company with Valeela... this matter will not be affected much.
Because this part of the funds was actually spent from the 20,000-pound bounty she received from Chillinges, she did not have absolute control over this fund. Even the investment in Coyom Company was made by her and The decision was made after discussion with Earl Hall.
…
At the same time, Klein also completed a series of divination in which he rotated multiple divination statements and methods.
Based on all the divination results, he could only confirm that his recent situation was not safe enough, and he could not determine more specific content, not even the level of danger.
Either the danger is still brewing, or my divination has been suppressed by the enemy... Klein tried to interpret it, and felt that the former was more likely.
So, after all my busy work, I was only sure that Ambassador Intis would definitely send someone to take revenge on me? I can guess this... Klein was a little discouraged for a moment.
More importantly, he still hasn't decided whether to go to Valeela tomorrow.
Finally, before returning to reality, Klein made a decision based on his feelings:
If you don't go now, you'll have to wait another day.
Of course, there are preconditions for doing this——
He will have to find an opportunity to continue divination above the gray fog tomorrow to see if the divination result will change; and even if the divination result remains unchanged, he will definitely go to Valeera the day after tomorrow.
This delay of one day is the man's dignity that he insists on.
…
As night falls and dawn comes, it’s Thursday.
Crane remained at home all morning.
This means that he really has nothing to do; secondly, he is waiting at home for new commissions - but he cannot waste the effect of spending money on ordering advertisements in newspapers.
Shortly after having lunch at home, Ms. Mary came as promised and took him to the Cragg Club to go through the introduction process.
On the carriage to the Cragg Club, Mary gave him a brief introduction to the two members.
One of them was Talim Dumont, a riding instructor to the aristocracy.
He was originally a son of a nobleman, and his ancestors had the title of Viscount. Unfortunately, all the family property was squandered by his grandfather. Due to family reasons, he had no good future when he became an adult. He could only use his talents and became a member of many nobles. The income of equestrian teachers is quite good, about 400 pounds per year.
Mary spoke simply, and Klein listened casually.
Anyway, as long as he doesn't lose etiquette when they meet later, there won't be any problem.
What Klein didn't expect at all was that the second member Mary introduced was--Valila!
Valila Veitch, his "ex" girlfriend!
What a coincidence.
If it weren't for the "Joker"'s control over himself, he would definitely not be able to sit there and listen to Mary's continued introduction without any abnormalities.
After listening to a few words seemingly unintentionally, Klein roughly understood the friendship between the two of them... It can only be said to be reasonable and reasonable, with no trace of deliberate guidance.
So this is not a "coincidence", but a fate between me and her?
…
Krag Club.
Talim, who had arrived a moment earlier, stood near the marble statue at the door, looking up from time to time; a four-wheeled carriage stopped on the street near him, and a beautiful maid with long brown hair stood beside the carriage. Also look up from time to time.
When Mary and Klein got off the stopped carriage, the two waiting people made new moves.
Talim smiled and walked towards them, saying hello.
During the few words of conversation, Klein focused most of his attention on the four-wheeled carriage——
He had seen Liya from a distance yesterday and knew that she was Valeela's personal maid.
Valeela put her hand on the maid's outstretched palm and slowly got out of the carriage.
Today she was wearing a pale yellow classical dress with lace, and a dark purple wide-brimmed hat... Klein looked a little lost in thought.
"She is the Miss Valeera I just mentioned, a lecturer in the History Department of Backlund University." Mary noticed the two men's shifting gazes and introduced with a faint smile.
Valeela raised her eyes to look at Mary and walked closer with a smile.
She recognized me...
Klein noticed that Valeera's eyes stayed on him for the longest time, quickly and covertly looking him up and down twice, and her charming dark brown eyes were covered with a layer of darkness. Hazy mist.
After a few simple conversations, Mary handed over Klein to the two members and watched them enter the club together, then board the carriage and leave.
After entering, the first thing Klein saw was a spacious and bright hall.
In front of the reception desk, after Talim filled out his recommendation form, he explained to Valeera and Klein that he also had equestrian lessons for Viscount Conard's youngest son, and said goodbye in a graceful manner.
Valeera also quickly filled out the recommendation form, and before leaving the hall, she took a deep look at Klein.
…
The manservant in the red vest and the maid in the beautiful dress came and went.
Klein, who forcibly suppressed his excitement, waited impatiently for a while, and finally received his membership certificate and a badge engraved with the hoarfrost constellation symbol.
"Mr. Moriarty, welcome to Club Cragg."
Amidst the salutes and greetings from the male servants and maids, Klein put away his membership certificate and badge and strode into the passage that Valeera had just walked through.
Valeera, here I come.
