Chapter 50 Old Neil's way to repay the money

7days ago Fantasy Novels 14
At 7:30 pm, at Moretti's dining table.

Klein, why do you need to arrive early as a consultant?Will the security company's emergency affairs be more dangerous?Benson forked the potatoes in the beef stew and mentioned the morning matter with implicit concern.

Klein carefully spit out the thorns of the fried fish and replied with preparation:

A batch of historical documents that need to be transferred to Beckland immediately, I have to be there to count them and confirm that there are no omissions, you know, those guys who only know how to waving their fists don’t know Gufsakwen at all.

Hearing his answer, Benson, who had chewed the food in his mouth, couldn't help but sigh:

Knowledge is really important.

Taking this opportunity, Klein took out the remaining 5 pounds bill and handed it to Benson:

This is the extra reward I received today, and you also need body-sided clothes.

5 pounds?Benson and Melissa spoke at the same time.

He picked up the bill, looked it over and over again, and said half surprised and half puzzled:

This security company is really generous...

His salary for one week is 1 pound 10 sulle, and 6 pounds in 4 weeks, which is only 1 pound more than this extra reward!

With such a salary, he supported his younger brothers and sisters, gave them a pretty good place to live, so that they could eat meat two or three times a week, and get a few new clothes every year!

Don't you doubt what I said?Klein asked back on purpose.

Benson smiled: I don’t think you don’t have the ability or the courage to rob the bank.

You are not a lie.Melissa stopped and answered seriously.

Me, I am a person who is used to lying now… Crane was a little ashamed.

Although this was a real force, his sister's belief still made him feel melancholy.

Today's affairs are relatively urgent and important, and I played a very critical role in it... This is why it is worth 5 pounds.Klein explained slightly.

In a sense, he is telling the truth.

As for the money he was about to issue 5 pounds of funds to join the divination club, he planned to hide it. One is to take another 5 pounds home, which will really scare his brother and sister, making them doubt what illegal career they are doing, and the other is to accumulate some money to buy extra materials for the divination master's learning and master mysterious knowledge.

Benson took a bite of Yàn wheat bread with satisfaction, thought for more than ten seconds and said:

My current job doesn't require too decent clothes, well, to be precise, clothes with too good fabrics, and all that's enough at home.

Before Klein could persuade him, he took the initiative to say:

With this extra income, we really have savings. I plan to buy a few more accounting books for more in-depth study. Klein, Melissa, I don’t want to have another five years, my weekly salary is still below 2 pounds. Haha, you know, my boss and my manager have their heads filled with feces, and every mouth is stench.

Very great idea.Klein agreed and guided it with the flow, why not look at the grammar books in my room?This is a very critical factor in becoming a truly decent person and getting a generous enough reward.

Perhaps, it won’t take long for the civil service exam to appear in the Kingdom of Roun, and preparing in advance can take advantage of it...

Benson's eyes lit up when he heard it:

I did forget this, come on, let's cheer for a bright future.

Instead of drinking rye beer, he poured oyster soup into three cups and touched it lightly with his younger brother and sister.

After drinking the clear soup, Klein looked at his sister who was fighting with the fried meat fish and said with a low smile:

In addition to Benson's books, I think Melissa needs a new dress, too.

Melissa raised her head and kept shaking:

No, I think it's best...

Save it.Klein added for her.

Um.Melissa focused heavily.

In fact, if we don’t pursue fabrics and the latest designs, it won’t be too expensive, so we will save the remaining money.Klein said with no refusal.

Benson also echoed:

Melissa, do you want to wear an old dress at Selena’s sixteenth birthday dinner?

Selena Wood is Melissa's classmate and good friend, and her family is in pretty good condition. Her brother is a lawyer and her father is a senior employee of the Tingen branch of Beckland Bank.

However, what they call dinner is to invite friends to share dinner, chat and play cards.

All right.Melissa lowered her head, muttered and answered, then slapped a piece of beef stewed.

After a while of silence, she suddenly remembered something and quickly looked up and said:

Mrs. Shawd, next door, asked the maid to send her a business card, hoping to visit us formally on Sunday afternoon, 4pm tomorrow, and meet our new neighbors.

Mrs. Shawd?Klein looked at his brother and sister in total confusion.

Benson tapped his fingers on the edge of the dining table, as if he was thinking:

Mrs. Xiaode at No. 4 Narcissus Street?I've met her husband, a senior affairs lawyer.

Senior affairs lawyer... Maybe he knows Selena's brother.Melissa said with a little joy.

We are No. 2 Daffodil Street… Klein nodded slightly and said:

It is necessary to know my neighbors, but you know, I still have to go to the security company on Sunday and can only rest on Monday. I apologize to Mrs. Shawd for me.

Speaking of this, he remembered his neighbors when he was a child in his previous life, and his neighbors when he lived in the Iron Cross Street Apartment, and sighed with a funny look:

Semi-formal visits... Shouldn't neighbors naturally get to know and contact them naturally?

Haha, Klein, you don't understand. You've read a lot of newspapers recently, but have not been exposed to magazines that are offered to families and women. They call families between 100 and 1,000 pounds a year as the middle class, preaching this is the bracket of the entire kingdom, and praising the middle class for the arrogance of the nobles and riches, and not as rude as the low-income class.

Benson explained relaxed and pleasantly that these magazines simplified many rituals between nobles’ interactions as a symbol of the middle class, where the difference between intimate visits, semi-formal visits and formal visits comes from.

As he said that, he shook his head and laughed:

Generally speaking, gentlemen, wives and ladies of this class will pay special attention to similar details. Their visits to neighbors and friends are from 2 to 6 pm, called morning visits.

Morning visit?Klein and Melissa asked in surprise.

What is a morning visit from 2 to 6 pm?

Benson put down his knife and fork, spread his hands and smiled:

I don't know why, but I just read a few magazines brought by my female colleagues. Well, maybe it's because I'm going to visit in a morning dress...

The original morning dress was a dress for mass or gatherings, but later it refers to the daytime formal dress, which is different from evening dresses.

Well, you guys remember to buy some good coffee powder and tea tomorrow morning, and then buy some small muffins and lemon cakes from Mrs. Slin. You can't be rude in front of your neighbors.Klein laughed, dipped the remaining bread with gravy, put it in the potatoes, and put it in the mouth.

…………

The next day, Sunday morning.

After drinking his last sip of tea, Klein put down the newspaper, put on a half-height silk top hat, took a black silver stick, slowly walked out of the gate, and arrived at Zotland Street in a public carriage.

He greeted Luo Shan, who had just finished night and was planning to sleep in the lounge, and walked down and came to the underground.

At the corner, he met a member of the Night-Watching Squad, Luo Yaolaiting, the Sleepless.

This is a very cold-looking lady with long eyebrows, big eyes, and black and smooth hair like silk.

Good morning, Ms. Leding.Klein bowed with a smile.

Luo Yao looked at him with his dark blue eyes and nodded invisibly.

When the two passed by each other, Luo Yao suddenly stopped and looked ahead and said:

Ritual magic is a very dangerous thing.

Ah... Klein was stunned for a moment, and when he turned his body, he could only see the other person's back as he walked away.

Thanks.He frowned and shouted softly at Luo Yaolaiting's back.

Turning left, he soon saw the old Neil in the arsenal guard room and Bright, who shouldn't have appeared here.

Let's go, go to my house. I have already received the corresponding materials, and Bright also promised to help me guard.Old Neil said with a smile.

Klein was surprised:

Not here?

Old Neil held the silver box and tickled:

There is no space for practicing ritual magic here.

Klein didn't ask any more questions and followed Old Neil back to the ground. Then the two of them rode in a public carriage and came all the way to the suburbs of the North District.

Old Neil's home is a single-family house, with roses, golden mint and other materials planted in the garden in front.

As soon as I entered, there was a carpeted porch with two high-back chairs and an umbrella stand.

Through the porch is a spacious living room with light-colored wallpaper on the walls, dark brown on the floor, small carpets with printed patterns in the middle, and a round table with a heavy texture.

The round table is surrounded by comfortable benches, seats, and a piano.

My deceased wife loves music very much.Old Neil pointed to the piano and said casually, "The sofa and coffee table are in the living room... Let's have our ritual magic today in the living room.

OKKlein answered somewhat restrainedly.

Old Neil put down the silver box and smiled:

I will first demonstrate a ritual magic to you, pay attention to observation and memory.

While speaking, he took out a piece of imitation parchment from the silver box and painted strange patterns on it with specially prepared, quiet and fragrant black ink.

Klein looked and looked again and found that Old Neil seemed, probably, might be drawing a bill!

After Old Neil filled in the corresponding number 30 and the corresponding pound symbol, Klein could no longer control himself and asked in confusion and confusion:

Mr. Neil, what kind of ritual magic are you going to perform?

Old Neil coughed twice and replied very seriously:

I'm going to use magic to deal with that 30 pounds debt today.

That's OK?Klein's eyes widened and his mouth was half open.
