Aurelio raised his hands in apology.
Agnes turned her head slightly and said: "Father is the main proposer of abolishing the guild system. Now that you are helping father to do something, many people will target you when they are unable to attack father."
Aurelio smiled and nodded and said, "Don't worry, I won't be fooled by sugar-coated bombs."
"After all, our little Agnes has helped us come up with such a good method. I can't let it go, right?" Aurelio said.
Agnes asked without looking at Aurelio, "Will father really adopt it?"
"I think father will definitely refer to your method." Aurelio was stunned for a moment and said.
"This time, we will definitely be able to successfully abolish the backward guild system." Aurelio said with some determination.
Agnes turned around, nodded, did not continue the topic, but smiled and said: "I think I haven't said thank you Aurelio for the gift."
Aurelio rubbed Agnes's head, said "hmm" with a smile, and asked, "Do you want to go out for a walk in the afternoon?"
Agnes thought for a while and said: "I want to go to the Isaulia Biological Research Institute in the afternoon. If there is still time, I want to go to the Musicians Association."
"If I go to the Institute of Biology...can't I bring a maid?"
"Yes." Agnes di
Aurelio nodded and said, "I will accompany you in the afternoon."
Agnes smiled and shook her head and said, "It's not necessary. I just asked some questions. You should be very busy during this time. There is no need to waste time with me."
Aurelio shook his head unhappily: "Why is it a waste of time to accompany my sister? I'm not like my father who can't get away at all. Since I can find a way to spare time, of course I have to accompany you."
"But..." Agnes was interrupted by Aurelio before she could speak.
"Just give me a legitimate reason to be lazy! You don't even know how my father squeezed me. It's so inhumane." Aurelio looked like he was in pain.
The words Agnes was about to say were suddenly stopped and replaced with words of agreement.
"Okay, let's go together in the afternoon."
Aurelio smiled with satisfaction and said, "Okay, I'll go find my father first."
Agnes nodded.
Aurelio turned around and walked out. Agnes looked at Aurelio's back without saying a word. Her eyes were slightly lowered, leaving a little shadow.
"I feel like my father is a little too anxious. Why? But it seems that my brother doesn't know the reason."
"Forget it, let's see if my father will adopt my suggestions and which part of my suggestions he will adopt."
Agnes took out the diary she had written during this period, and then took out her black diary with a rose pattern from the bookshelf.
"It's really troublesome to copy it."
...
"Wait here for a while, I should be able to come down soon." Agnes said to Aurelio.
She smiled a little apologetically at Old Hughes and said, "Excuse me, Mr. Hughes."
"Miss Spinoza, you are still so polite. But you can just call me Old Hughes." Old Hughes smiled helplessly and gave Aurelio a cup of black tea.
Agnes smiled, nodded, turned and walked up the stairs.
...
Agnes raised her hand and knocked on the door of the room.
"Please come in." Mr. Claude's slightly hoarse voice came out.
"Captain." Agnes walked into the room.
In the room, Mr. Claude was still sitting behind his log desk, but his original turtleneck was replaced by a striped shirt and a gray vest. A black windbreaker hung on the coat rack behind him.
When Mr. Claude saw Agnes, he was slightly stunned, and then asked with a smile: "Why are you here today? I heard that you just returned home this morning."
Agnes pulled out the chair opposite Mr. Claude and sat down.
"I think no matter when I come, the result should be the same. In this case, I might as well come earlier and implement the result. This way, it will be easier for both me and the captain."
Mr. Claude shook his head helplessly, took out a document bag from the drawer, and handed it to Agnes.
"Because the church believes that your current condition is not stable and you are not suitable for missions at the moment. So you have a vacation with an uncertain end time," Mr. Claude said.
Agnes took the file bag and opened it and took a look. Inside was the mandatory leave notification document for her from the Heart of Nature team and the long-term leave approval document from the institute.
"Of course, there will be no pay during the furlough," Mr. Claude said.
Agnes shook her head and said, "Of course. All I want to know now is whether my mission to join the team has been completed?"
Mr. Claude said: "Of course, you did kill Theodore Leslie after all."
Agnes nodded and asked again: "Actually, I have one more thing to do today."
She took off the bracelet from her left wrist and handed it to Mr. Claude.
"The gift Aurelio gave me this morning is an extraordinary item. He said he bought it from a member of the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery from Intis."
"I do know about this." Mr. Claude smiled and handed the bracelet back and said, "Claude indeed bought it from a member of the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery."
Agnes looked at Mr. Claude and asked, "I'm a little surprised, how can a member of the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery sell extraordinary items to an ordinary person?"
Mr. Claude shook his head with a smile and said, "He didn't buy it himself. He asked the Extraordinary to buy it for him."
Agnes thought for a while and asked, "Is she from the church?"
Logically speaking, Mr. Claude should not know so clearly about the transactions between members of the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery and his brother, even if they passed through other people.
Mr. Claude nodded, but did not say the other person's name.
"Does Aurelio know?" Agnes asked.
Mr. Claude thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I don't know, but there is a high probability that I don't know."
Agnes nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."
Agnes did not ask further questions. She picked up the document bag and stood up.
"Wait a minute," Mr. Claude stopped Agnes. He took out a piece of paper from the drawer and handed it to Agnes: "By the way, your salary and subsidies."
Agnes took the note, made a rough calculation, and found that it was close to 20 gold riso.
She asked a little strangely: "I haven't worked for a full month, how come I have nearly two months' salary?"
"This is the first time I heard someone ask this question." Mr. Claude laughed, shook his head, and said: "9 gold lire and 6 lire are your first month's salary and subsidy, and the rest is some compensate."
"Because of the compulsory leave?" Agnes asked.
"Yes." Mr. Claude nodded.
Agnes received the note into the small bag and said, "Okay, I understand, I'll go now."
Agnes took a few steps, then turned around and said: "Captain, can you help tell Renes something? Please ask her to come to the Feneport City Musicians Association to find me during her break on Wednesday. I will wait there. she."
