Aaron and Talim left the Quelaag Club after they filled out the nomination form separately. It wasn't a weekend; the former had two more operations in the afternoon, and the latter had to teach Viscount Conrad's youngest son horseback riding. The teenager needs to make sure that he doesn't embarrass himself during Backlund's social events in the second half of the year.
Klein watched the male servant wearing a red vest and a maid in a beautiful dress come and go several times before finally handing over the proof of her own membership and the badge with the symbol of the Frost constellation engraved on it.
"Incoming cost 50 pounds. There are still three and a half months left this year, with an annual fee of 4 pounds a year." The male servant in a red vest pushed the two things towards Klein.
Klein took out the 57 pounds Mary Gale gave him and handed him 54 pounds.
The amount beyond the entry fee and the annual fee is Mary's first payment. He was very pleased with how quickly Klein obtained information about the mistress Doragu Gale, as well as her photo.
50 Pounds membership.Mrs Mary is a very generous woman! While Klein watched the waiter and waiter verify the money and confirm the exact amount, he recalled Stelyn Sammer's personal introduction.
Mary's father was a co-founder of Coim Company and owned a 20 percent stake. Initially it was just a small company that barely made any money, but as Backlund's pollution worsened and demand for anthracite and charcoal increased, the company quickly developed into one of the top ten companies in the capital industry. Thus, Mary's net worth skyrocketed.
The only problem was that when she married Doragu Gale, the company was still unknown. His father did not pay much attention to the use of the stock as his dowry and did not proceed with the protection of the granting of any inheritance and instead used the more popular "gift will.
The first refers to the dowry as an independent property separate from the woman and not subject to her husband's control. Even the right of use depends on the woman, while the latter hands over the ownership of the dowry to the whole family. However, the husband must immediately make a valid will to promise that if he dies before his spouse, the division of the estate becomes two to four times the rights and interests of the dowry received. After that, the rest will be processed according to ordinary inheritance law which can effectively guarantee the widow's livelihood.
If Mary files for divorce before she can get proof of Doragu's adultery, the Coim Company's shares will be split equally between the two parties.
Klein recalled Stelyn saying enviously, "The current value of that stock is currently close to 20,000 pounds of gold. Adding another property on their behalf, Mary was a truly wealthy woman. After he divorced, he would definitely be the target of many men in Backlund, including some nobles."
It was just enough money for Miss Justice to kill Ambassador Bakerland twice. Klein suddenly thought of it when he saw the red-robed maid and the handsome maid bowing to him.
"Mr Moriarty, welcome to Quelaag Club."
After hearing this, Klein took out the proof of Frost's membership and badge.
The first was made of elastic paper that looked like a card with Klein's name and the start date of his membership.
After applying its index finger imprint, the official membership proof is ready to use.
The latter is a distinctive badge of the Quelaag Club, named after its founding in early November, which corresponds to the moon of the constellation Frost. The symbol and number 192 are printed on the front, followed by "Sherlock Moriarty" printed on the back.
"The club now has 192 members?" Klein asked casually.
"Yes, our club doesn't accept people without recommendations." The red-robed man waitress beamed and introduced, "On the first floor, there is a buffet cafeteria, bar, library, squash room, conference room, and card room. Food and wine are free for you. There are 16 lounge rooms and two small conference rooms on the second floor. Everything is also free, and can be used as long as it is not occupied.”.
The handsome waiter pointed back and said, "There are two tennis courts in the yard, absolutely free. There are two underground firing ranges, and you only need to pay the corresponding equipment rental fee.
"If you are not satisfied with a simple buffet, you can order ala carte. We have an exclusive chef, and you just have to pay for the ingredients."
Boards, lodging, and entertainment were all provided for. As expected of the high-class club. Klein sincerely thanked Mrs. Mary.
He smiled warmly and said, "Send someone to drive me around so I can get used to the environment. After that, give me room to take a nap."
"Good." The red man's servant made an inviting gesture.
After familiarizing himself with the Quelaag Club environment, Klein entered the waiting room and carefully studied the layout of the place. He found it was similar to a next-generation hotel room. It is said to be decorated in the style of Intis.
I have to consider how to get proof of Doragu's affair tomorrow. It was very impossible to hide the camera flash.In other words, I only had one chance to take a picture… I have to think of a safe way .. I'll read the paper later and try to determine Ian's case through the news. From there, I was able to determine which three days I should be guarded. Klein paced back and forth, deep in thought.
At that moment, his heart suddenly thumped as he tensed up.
Is this a clown's premonition? However, there was no scene in my mind. Klein felt the air around him turn as calm as before the storm.
Immediately, this feeling disappeared, as if nothing had happened.
Could the danger be approaching? But this kind of thing did not happen when I was attacked by Meursault.
The answer is negative.
After thinking for a few seconds, Klein pulled the curtain and pretended to take a nap. He took four counter-clockwise steps and went above the gray fog.
He sat down and pondered for a long time before muttering to himself, "I'll be in great danger in the next few days."
…
This time, the portrait of the king was facing upwards!
That means positive results!
My reaction just now was really a sign that danger was coming. Klein narrowed his eyes and leaned back in his chair.
He was a bit confused by this matter.
Whether it was as a Clairvoyant or a Clown, they had never displayed such an ability before. Even if they could predict danger, it was because the target was right in front of him or beside him!
There was no one around me. From the fact that my prophecy was misled, it must have involved a relatively higher Sequencer, most likely a Bakerland assistant? It's not scientific, uh—ini is not a mystic. There must be something else behind it, but I can't be sure why yet. Klein looked around and saw the boundless fog, red and silent, as well, the palace stood like that.
He curbed his doubts and temporarily stopped thinking about the reason. Instead, he focused his attention on the impending attack …
After a few more prophecies, Klein discovered that he could only confirm that there would be a great danger in the next few days. It could not be shortened to three days, two days, or even five hours.
In other words, he could only obtain a somewhat vague revelation.
And in the dream prophecy, he sees Ian wearing his old coat, standing in the street with an elegant gas lamp and a blurry red moon behind him.
Other than this picture, there is nothing else.
"How should I interpret this?" Klein thought for a moment. He could only assume that this was the beginning of the danger.
Without any further delay, he returned to the real world, leaving the Quelaag Club, and go to the nearest Backlund Bank branch in Hillston to withdraw the remaining one hundred pounds from his account—the amount of 1000 pounds from Justice has not been cleared. Without related information being sent to the branch, the accounts are not synchronized, and, theoretically, there is a gap. Klein can pull 100 pounds from other branches and take a chance when all accounts are out of sync.
But this is only in theory. To avoid similar actions, banks have many rules about anonymous accounts. First, to increase the transmission of similar information in the same city; second, it is to limit a single withdrawal to no more than 500 pounds, and third, if the last withdrawal is not made locally, it is to limit the single withdrawal to no more than 500 pounds, and thirdly, if the last withdrawal is not done locally, a telegram was needed to inquire about it, and today, Klein faced a third situation.
Saving his money, he took a horse carriage to the Backlund Bridge area and entered the Bravehearts Bar.
Under the guidance of the Kaspars, he sees Maric sitting in the card room. He's not surrounded by zombies.
Klein threw away the idea of using his spirituality to wrap Azik's copper whistle, slapped 100 pounds on the table, and said to the pale Maric, "I agree to the deal.
"i'll pay you a 100 pound down payment. I'll pay you another 300 pounds each additional day I'm protected.
"Protection starts now!"
Maric's gaze fell past him and landed somewhere behind him. He nodded and said, "Alright, he agrees."
Uh? Klein turned around in surprise only to see a wall and only air.
He secretly activated his Spirit Vision, but failed to find anything.
Maric put 100 pounds into his pocket and said nonchalantly, "You can go back now. He has begun to protect you, in a hidden way."
If I hadn't foreseen this before, I would have thought of all of you as impostors.Klein scanned his surroundings and deliberately acted as if he was leaving with clenched teeth.
Along the way, he occasionally activated and deactivated his Spirit Sight, constantly observing outside through the carriage window, but he did not find his so-called bodyguards.
Back at 15 Minsk Street, Klein closed the door, walked into the bathroom, turned on the faucet, and washed his hands.
The sound of splashing water disappeared as he flicked the water droplets and wiped his palm with a towel. Then, he lifted his head to look at himself in the mirror to check his appearance.
At this moment, she saw herself disappearing in the mirror before turning into a woman wearing a black regal dress.
The woman had light golden hair and blue eyes. He looked very gentle but his face was very pale.
She wore a small black hat, lifted her skirt, and bowed to Klein.
Without hiding his surprise, Klein took a few steps back and leaned against the wall.
Only then did he realize that this might be the bodyguard he had rented for 1000 pounds.
The image in the mirror quickly dimmed and Klein looked at himself again. Everything has been restored back to normal.
