Mystery: Those years when I was a foreign aid for the Aurora Club

629
"Irena, has the letter been mailed?"

Hearing the knock on the door and the question, Irena, who was burying her head in studying the revised scripture, raised her head when she heard the words, revealing a pair of eyes that were made of pure gold.Clovis, who was standing casually outside the door with his arms folded, immediately made an expression that caught his eyes, and smiled relaxedly:

"It seems that you have adjusted well to the promotion. How are you doing?"

Irena smiled reservedly and proudly, put down her pen, leaned on the soft cushion of the high-back chair, and said in a good mood:
"The letters to our distant relatives have already been mailed out. I have contacted their daughters and nieces as pen pals. They are all aristocratic women who are about my age. The women in Ruen are older than ours. Be freer and smarter. Probably they were instructed by their elders, and they basically chatted with me about the current situation of Loen and their own industry in the correspondence."

"What's the gain?"

"At present, a viscount has implicitly expressed his willingness to give away 20 Felkin's property and company, hoping to keep a baronial title in Intis under the protection of the Montemar family."

"Hehe, that's not enough." Clovis smiled, "The Republic of Intis does not have the power to confer new nobles. There is no other way to obtain noble status except relying on the great nobles! If you want to keep the title, Let him take another 20 Filkin out."

Irena responded:
"Others don't have any clear intentions yet, but I heard that there are movements in the Amanda Mountains, and the number of letters should increase during this period. Other than that, there is nothing else-but there is one of these female relatives that I am very concerned about. The earl's daughter is very interesting, she seems to have a serious interest in charity, and is seriously involved in it, and I have a strange feeling that she seems to have a more accurate impression of me through only two replies. .”

Clovis raised a little interest: "Extraordinary? Or is it a staff member of the Earl who wrote it in this capacity?"

"It's not a ghostwriter, otherwise I wouldn't be able to write that kind of innocent kindness."

Most adults have a stereotyped perception of the world, and it is unlikely that the lady's swaying and self-struggling emotions will appear.Irena thought about it: "In her letter, she seriously consulted me about the operating methods and general standards of the charity industry. Maybe it is a Extraordinary person. If the earl's child is interested in occultism, many organizations will try their best to A way to please her and offer potions with both hands, right? Maybe it’s a low or middle sequence.”

"What she showed in the letter was only sensitive within the normal range. This kind of behavior may also be a test for me, testing whether I have malicious intentions or whether I am also a Extraordinary."

"Very good at analyzing other people's paths?" Clovis didn't take it seriously, and nodded casually, "You can handle it yourself. I have always been at ease when I leave this kind of thing to you."

"Speaking of which, sister, are you still in contact with the highlanders in the southern continent? The parliament and the church have not yet made a clear plan for our highland colony, but I do not recommend that you continue to cooperate with the Rose School of thought... just in case Why is Intis unwilling to give up the land?"

Irena was silent for a moment, then sighed softly:

"I know."

"Before the Aurora Society occupies Intis, an international charitable organization is needed to increase its influence and secretly give more anchors to the true Creator, but now, the number of anchors is more than enough, and it has occupied the country, so there is basically no need for the Rose School and Temperance Angels."

It is indeed not a good behavior to cross the river and destroy the bridge, but the Church of the Creator does not need to really cross the river to destroy the bridge.

Just promise equal citizenship to the highlanders, cooperate as fairly as possible, and withdraw the garrison.

— Or even the garrison does not have to be withdrawn.

"You also know how much of the gold, minerals, and spices circulating in the Intis market come from the Southern Continent."

"After the Balam Empire stopped exporting minerals and cotton, our country's economy has been hit hard, do you know? Although the 50.00% increase will not directly affect our lives, but our stingy neighbor, Philio The Earl is secretly renting out his idle wasteland to farmers for reclamation, collecting local rents for grain and cotton, and alleviating the frenzy of unemployment in the city and his own economic situation—have you been maintaining law and order recently? I heard about the robbery in Trier The crimes, the murders and the scams...if we lose the Highlands, the market for Intis will likely collapse."

Clovis shrugged, showing that his point of view was that Intis would not give up the Highland Colony.

The price of gold has risen, the price of spices has risen, the price of cotton has risen, and the market economy is on the verge of collapse... For the nobles, things just become more expensive, but for the middle class and ordinary people, it is a major event related to the lives of their families. Teece, but hunger and panic follow.

This point, Irena has a deep understanding.

But she also knows another thing, that is... because the Balam Empire minimized exports, a large amount of supplies and money flowed to the people of the southern continent, the Church of Death and the royal family of Eggers had an unprecedentedly high support rate .

However, the current laws of the Balam Empire are still somewhat mysterious. For example, if a living person has to serve in the army after death, he must serve for a certain number of years according to his pre-life situation before he can return to the arms of the god of death, which is very amazing.

Of course, if the family is ready to let him find peace, he can be buried normally by donating a certain amount to the church or the property under the church.Before a person dies, he can decide whether to keep his body or spirit body to continue working through the appraisal of the church. After his death, his family can still get half of the salary according to the service life of the person's body... The Balam Empire The new laws of the New York City have a touch of humanity in the mystery, and there is nothing obvious wrong except that it is annoying to work with corpses and undead.

Oh, and the only bad thing is - the suicide death rate among the bottom population has increased significantly.

If you can’t find a job while you’re alive, you’ll be a drag on your family, but you can work normally after you die, so death is truly God’s mercy.

"……Yes."

Irena frowned, remembering all the annoying and helpless security incidents.

Although she became an acolyte of the Bright Cathedral, she still lacks qualifications and experience as a team of Extraordinary people, so she is still working as a high-level errand to deal with Extraordinary and security incidents.

To put it simply, these incidents are nothing more than murdering others because of unemployment and hunger. It is not difficult to deal with it, but the accumulated negative emotions make people feel uncomfortable-if a mother sells herself just for a piece of bread for her child, then she Kill the bakery owner who broke his promise and take the bread back, so who can really have the heart to criticize this mother?
"Recently, there are obvious traces of witches' activities in Intis." Irena couldn't tell her brother about these things, so she had to change the subject, "The turbulent situation is bound to be accompanied by witches' activities, you'd better pay attention a little."

Clovis frowned:
"I'm very careful, Alisa and the others are my childhood sweethearts. You should say this to the old Marquis who has been touted as being confused and our stupid brother."

His eyes glanced at his sister's desk inadvertently, and he was surprised to find that the letter the other party was reading actually used the common language of the North Continent. He couldn't help but glanced twice, and asked curiously:
"Isn't this written by the nobles of Loen?"

In this case, the Loen people would also use the Loen language to communicate with their relatives abroad, not the language or lingua franca of other countries.

"It's for a companion in the Aurora Society." Irena nodded, "He wants to do something in the Southern Continent. It just so happens that I may need to avoid danger and not contact the Rose School of Thought recently. I introduced the Foundation to him, and he also accepted."

She burned the letter, cleared her clothes and table, and got up for dinner.

……

Two days later, Tuesday.

The first joint activity of the Tarot Club ended successfully.

when!when!
Seeing the perfect end to the cooperation of punishing the two malicious blood races, Klein, who had reverted to the appearance of Dwayne Dantès as the church bells sounded, once again walked to the large balcony at No. 160 Boklund Street, overlooking the The situation with the Machts.

At this time, a carriage passed the gate of his mansion and drove to the other side of the street.

All of a sudden, Klein's intuitive premonition was touched, and a picture appeared in his mind:
A gray mouse was lying on the window of the carriage, looking at the scenery on the street leisurely.

Klein's eyelids twitched slightly, and he suddenly felt a chill.While making some guesses, he turned back to the bedroom as usual, let the "winner" Enyuni pray to the "God of the Sea", while he entered the bathroom and went to Origin Castle.

After taking the familiar seat, Klein once again turned his attention to the carriage that was driving to No. 39 Berklund Street.

But this time, in the field of view of Origin Castle, it was no longer a gray mouse leaning on the glass window to enjoy the scenery on the street, but a young man wearing a silk top hat and a black windbreaker.

He has black hair and black eyes, a thin face, and a broad forehead. He wears a crystal-carved monocle and holds a faint smile. Amon!

Although Klein had long been mentally prepared, his spirit tensed up, and he felt a chill all over his body.

Immediately afterwards, he noticed that after Hazel entered the hall of his house, strips of transparent bugs with twelve links spread out and entered every corner of Councilor Macht's house!
Klein's scalp felt numb after seeing the "Scepter of the Sea God", and he remembered Pales Zarathustra's description of Amon's "parasitic" ability:

Plague infection!
He immediately manifested the phantom of "Gehrman Sparrow" in the gray fog, prayed devoutly to "The Fool", and reported the situation of Amon's appearance.Afterwards, without delay, Klein immediately returned to the real world and walked out of the bathroom.

He was prepared accordingly, wearing "Squirming Hunger" in his left hand, and holding a medal carved from black gemstones in his right hand.

Then, he manipulated the secret puppet "Winner" Enyuni to make him snap his fingers, jump with flames, and enter the mansion of Councilor Macht at No. 39 Berklund Street in the form of Gehrman Sparrow.

But at this moment, Klein noticed that Richardson, the manservant in his mansion, was walking up to the second floor. He immediately saw Enuni, who seemed to be standing indoors with his hands raised strangely, and looked anxiously. asked:

"Why are you still standing here? Where has Mr. Dantès gone?"

"The reserved guest is here. Mr. Butler asks him to wait for a while. I'll go to Mr. Dantès, and you go make tea for the guest..."

guest?

Klein suddenly remembered that one of his agenda today was to meet with a philanthropist from the Southern Continent. At this moment, Richardson seemed to have noticed Dwayne Dantès standing outside the bathroom door. At the same time, " The "winner"'s spiritual thread suddenly lost control!
The two personal servants turned their heads to Klein at the same time. At the same time, they took out a monocle from their pockets, wiped it with their cuffs, and put it on the right eye. Even the curved corners of their mouths were exactly the same:
"Got you."

The atmosphere in the bedroom suddenly froze, and Enyuni, the "winner" who squeezed the monocle, said to himself:

"There are so many anomalies in the fate of Flora Jacob, the main one comes from this street, which makes me feel very interesting. It took me some time to identify and find the source, so that it made you wait for so many days .”

"I am no stranger to that mirror, and I have never seen anyone who can drive it and make it so pleasing. This is really an interesting thing. Maybe I should steal your fate and see what it is. For what? Ah yes, you probably don’t know its origin yet, it’s not simple at all..."

Before he finished speaking, he stopped suddenly, and saw Dwayne Dantès on the opposite side suddenly turned into a gray mouse with dirty hair.

The mouse raised its right front paw and pressed its own eye socket.

At the same time, in the garden at No. 160 Boklund Street, Gehrman Sparrow, with a thin, angular face, black hair and brown pupils, appeared in the middle of a pile of roses.

Silently, Amon, who looked like a mixed-race youth, appeared in front of Klein again.

Behind him, a transparent bug with twelve links fell from the third floor and entered his body.

And at this moment, the earthworms in the soil of the garden, the insects in the trees and plants, and the mice in the shadowy corners all came out one after another, or surrounded the place where Gehrman Sparrow and Amon were facing each other, or stayed away from this area.

A large part of the reason why Klein listened patiently to Amon just now was because he was taking the time to make a marionette!
For a "crafty mage", a secret puppet is considered complete!
Amon was still not in a hurry to act, pinched the monocle caught in the deep eye socket, glanced left and right, and said with a smile at the corner of his mouth:
"Your behavior often exposes your problems. For a mentor in the fraud field, all you have done just now is enough for me to grasp your weaknesses."

"Under such a tense and dangerous situation, you actually only transformed mice, insects, birds, and earthworms into your secret puppets, and didn't consider the housekeepers, maids, and male servants in the house. What does this mean? It means you have excellent morals. Level, and still regard themselves as human beings, unwilling to hurt them."

"Having grasped this point, even if my avatar is not as good as yours, I can still play you until you collapse, even if you want to die."

As if he had finished speaking, Amon reached out and pinched his eye sockets again, which seemed to be one of his signature actions.

Even the "spiritual thread" can be stolen?No, this may also be a kind of deception, a kind of passing on... Then the thread of the spirit body in my hand really belongs to the animals in the garden?Klein's face changed slightly, and he felt an indescribable sense of tension in an instant, as if being held in his hands was not an animal, but a living person in his mansion!

"Very well, it seems that I don't need to explain any more, you've probably noticed it already."

"That's right, I have secretly replaced the thread of the spirit body with your servants, maids..."

Klein suspected that the other party was just cheating, but his palms were sweating uncontrollably, and he didn't dare to bet whether it was true or not.

"It's impossible for you to talk so much to me just to parasitize me, right?"

Klein continued to procrastinate for time, trying to convert this Amon avatar into his secret puppet. He kept swapping positions with all the secret puppets, not staying in any place for more than two seconds.

"You finally found out."

After hearing this sentence, Amon smiled.

"But my instinct tells me that if I replace you directly, something will happen that I don't want to see."

Klein's eyes widened slightly. He saw that the floor-to-ceiling windows facing him in the courtyard seemed to be alive and separated from the middle. In the bedroom, countless men and women wearing monocles were standing upright with a strange movement. There, they covered their ears by coincidence, and closed their mouths tightly, leaving only a pair of eyes still active.At this moment, Klein looked extremely tall and stood up from the sofa near the floor-to-ceiling windows. The guest casually pulled out a handkerchief from his jacket pocket, and flung it out lightly.

The handkerchief quickly expanded against the wind, turning into a huge curtain that could cover the entire courtyard.

Klein controlled himself not to look up, but Amon didn't seem to notice. He was still exerting psychological pressure on Klein with great interest, saying something like "I've already asked Arrods, if it wasn't inside the Church of Steam , I can directly parasitize it to obtain information" and "Even if you activate the badge in your hand now, it will not help, because I have the ability to influence the content in it, so that your cry for help cannot be conveyed..." words.Then, Amon's voice suddenly disappeared, and his mouth was still opening and closing.

It seems to be talking, but it seems that someone has pressed the mute button, and no sound comes out.

Seeing that Klein didn't respond to his threats, Amon finally sensed the abnormality. He turned his head suddenly, but was immediately wrapped tightly by the white handkerchief.The white silk wrapped tightly around Amon who had stopped chattering, and his face began to outline irrelevant outlines. His hands seemed to be moving uncontrollably towards his chest, and they were firmly fixed after crossing, unable to move. .

During the whole process, there was no redundant sound, nor any redundant development.

Klein felt as if he had witnessed the process of making a mummy. Within a few breaths, the alive and kicking Amon was transformed into a tightly bound human figure just like the mummy he had seen in picture books. The part also strangles the shape of the monocle.

When the mummy took shape and fell to the ground with a bang, the men and women in the room who were parasitized by Amon's avatar also stopped their activities at the same time.

The tall guest looked down at the monocle on the other's right eye for a moment, then looked up at Gehrman Sparrow:
"Mr. Dantès? Or Mr. X, what's your name?"

"Your yard was plagued by pests, but it's been satisfactorily resolved now."

The tall guest with gray hair and a Feysac face turned his head and smiled brightly at Klein:

"Do you mind if I take a few worms as payment?"

His eyes were piercing: "Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself, I am the spokesperson of the Ernst Foundation, a member of the Rose School who contacted you in the letter through the lead of Ms. D, are you interested in the charity industry ?"

Not good, it seems to be sunny, and I feel pain all over my body.
