Mystery: Undead don't die from passing fire

Chapter 236 It's Weird, Take Another Look

"Eh?"

Melissa was taken aback for a moment, as if she didn't expect that the other party would actually reply to her.Also, do nobles also need to take the exam?
Although the "Uniform Examination for Government Employees" is nominally aimed at all social strata across the country, even Melissa understands that nobles do not need the so-called examination to directly enter the government. aisle.

This can also be seen from the people around:
Most of the people in the cafe are like Melissa, ordering the cheapest bread, black tea or coffee, most of them are not in a good financial situation.Even if there are a few gorgeously dressed ones, the gap between them and the blond girl in front of them can be seen at a glance——

Their highest class will only be the middle class, but the girl in front of them can be recognized as an aristocrat at a glance.

Audrey watched Melissa quietly, taking in all her reactions.

Even if the other party didn't say it clearly, Audrey, who was already a dream walker, could easily see through Melissa's reaction.There was suspicion, inferiority, and awe in her eyes, but there was no trust.

Although Audrey knew very well that most people would not trust a stranger they just met.But it would be too 'harsh' to doubt everything she said.

Audrey inexplicably thought of a sentence from Emperor Roselle:

There has been a sadly thick barrier between us.

That was Emperor Roselle's emotion in the handed down classic "Hometown" written by him, because he and his young friend Runtu drifted away due to differences in identities, and it contained deep sadness.

And now, even though Audrey and the girl in front of her were strangers, she felt this sadness as if she felt the same way.

And what makes Audrey most uncomfortable is that the other party's suspicion is correct, and her purpose is indeed different from the other party's.

Before coming, there was obvious joy in her heart.He even talked about it with Mr. Fool above the gray fog, just like an outstanding student reporting his grades to his parents.

Because the "Uniform Examination for Government Employees" was originally proposed by 'The Fool', and she secretly conveyed it to Earl Hall, which finally promoted the passage of this bill in the cabinet.So Audrey has always been very concerned about this exam.

She did come here to wait for Hibbert, but it might not be without her own reasons...

"What's your name?"

Audrey asked softly.

Melissa was a little nervous, and said in a low voice:
"Melissa Moretti."

"Melissa?"

Audrey repeated the name in a low voice, and suddenly showed a smile. Under Melissa's nervous eyes, she got up and sat opposite her, and at the same time stretched out her hand to the girl:
"Audrey Hall."

Melissa subconsciously reached out and shook her hand, but soon seemed to think of something, and exclaimed:
"Hall?"

Melissa, who had just arrived, didn't know exactly how many nobles there were in Backlund, and who these nobles were.But there are three families that she is not unfamiliar with at all, the Augustus family that is the royal family, the Duke Negan family where the current prime minister belongs, and the Hall family that introduced the "Unified Examination for Government Employees" bill!

As long as a Loenian had to understand the former two, they didn't know the latter.After all, what happened in the cabinet is strictly confidential, and civilians are not qualified to know the details of cabinet meetings.But just in the last month, major newspapers have actively reported the information provided by 'informed sources', which gave common people the opportunity to learn about some of the cabinet meetings and how Earl Hall 'destroyed all opinions' Let this bill pass.

According to Benson, this is a big move by the Hall family to win over people's hearts in advance.But this move was undoubtedly a success. Many civilians who passed the first round of examinations were grateful to Earl Hall. Once these people entered the government, they would become loyal supporters of the Hall family.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Hall family who single-handedly promoted the unified examination of government employees is definitely the top nobleman in the upper echelons of the Loen Kingdom!
And now, the members of this family are sitting in front of him...

"Any questions?"

Audrey blinked playfully.

"No, nothing..."

Melissa's lips moved, and she didn't know how to answer for a moment, so she shook her head in denial.

Audrey seems to be a little different from the nobleman she imagined...
-
Above the gray mist, Klein escaped from the dream with a weird expression on his face.

Just like he regularly divinations about the status of Embers, he also regularly divinations about Benson and Melissa.Of course, he also knew that this day was the day when Benson took the second exam for the unified government employee exam, so he would certainly pay attention to it, but the dream this time seemed a little different...

Klein murmured in a low voice:

"That noble girl seems familiar..."

A familiar figure flashed in Klein's mind, and he instinctively combined the two figures together.

Klein's eyes twitched:
"Miss Justice?"

Although he has never met Miss 'Justice' in reality, he can also judge some characteristics of Miss 'Justice' by observing her words and deeds above the gray fog:
Soft and glossy golden long hair, green eyes like pure gemstones, elegant temperament, generous birth, upper-class Loen nobles, a little rich woman who is not short of money...

And these characteristics almost completely match the noble girl who came into contact with Melissa in the dream!

Of course, just this is not enough for the noble girl of Shihammer to be Audrey.

After all, there are many upper-class nobles in the entire Loen Kingdom who use blond hair and blue eyes as a symbol of nobility, so girls from noble families can basically match these characteristics—blond hair, blue eyes, noble temperament, and a little rich woman who is not short of money...

And what made Klein feel the most familiar was a trait shared by the two——

Audience.

Whether it's Miss Justice or this noble girl, they all observe everything around them like spectators, and at the same time carefully disguise themselves to avoid revealing their true thoughts.

In addition, there is the big golden retriever dog at the foot of the noble girl, and that dog also shows the characteristics of the audience——

This is exactly the same as the fabricated 'friend' that Miss 'Justice' mentioned who accidentally gave the pet potion by mistake.

And with so many "coincidences" combined, it's hard not to make people have meaningful associations.

"But if it's Miss Justice, why is she involved with Melissa?"

Klein frowned slightly. Of course he didn't think that Miss Justice would be unfavorable to Melissa and Benson, but the encounter between the two was a bit weird after all.After all, the two parties are not in the same class at all. One is an upper-class aristocrat of the ruling class of the Loen Kingdom, while the other is just a Cinderella from an ordinary family who has never even gone to college. It stands to reason that the two should never have any intersection. right.

Then why do they appear in their dreams at the same time?What was the intersection that brought them together?
Klein simulated and ruled out each option in his mind, and finally determined the most likely one:
"Unified examination for government employees!"

"That's right! Although the idea of ​​this bill was proposed by me, it was submitted by Miss 'Justice'."

"For Miss 'Justice', it may be a kind of joy to watch the child grow up... Well, the analogy is not very appropriate, but the meaning should be similar."

"Miss 'Justice' has shown a strong sense of 'ownership' before. As one of the first two members to join the Tarot Society, she has been very active in guiding and helping other members understand and integrate into the Tarot Society."

"Even occasionally replace 'The Fool' and share some information that cannot be spoken by the 'Fool'."

"It's normal for such a Miss Justice to pay attention to the unified examination for government employees promoted by her. And since this bill is promoted by her family, it is normal for her to pay attention."

"However, it still feels a little strange..."

Klein had a weird expression, hesitated for two seconds, and decided to do another divination:
"That's weird, take another look!"
-
Middenheim, in the wee hours of the morning.

Ember and the others finally found a hotel before dawn and rented a room to live in.It cost them one silver coin. Calculated based on the exchange of one gold coin for ten silver coins, the seven gold coins given by the guards were enough for them to live for two months and more.

But apparently, they won't be here that long—

Although two months is not long, what Ember wants to do obviously won't take that long.

And the reason why the three of them live in one room is not because Ember wants to save money or get caught.Because he originally planned to rent three rooms directly, anyway, the seven gold coins are purely free, not short of money.

But Lilith strongly protested this, she wanted to save money anyway, and thought it would be fine to just rent two rooms.

Ember has no objection to this, he is one, Lilith and Olnia are one, just right.

However, this proposal was not surprisingly rejected.

Because in Lilith's allocation plan, she should live in a room with Ember, while Olnia lives in a room alone.

In Olnia's plan, however, it was the exact opposite—Lilith lived in a room alone, while she and Ember lived in a room.

As a last resort, Ember can only make a compromise, and the three of them live in one room.

The kind with only one big bed.

"I want to sleep in the middle!"

Lilith threw herself on the bed and took up most of the space, rubbed hard, and said confidently.

As long as she sleeps in the middle, Olnia will never be able to break through her barrier!

This wave, she is in the atmosphere!
Olnia's expression was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect Lilith to be so 'shameless'!
The silver-haired loli pursed her lips tightly, not knowing how to solve this problem...

But at this moment, there was a knock on the door suddenly.

"Boom boom boom!"

Hearing the knock on the door, Lilith still didn't have the slightest idea of ​​moving her position, but ordered:

"Olnia, go and open the door."

Olnia remained silent. She nodded obediently as she needed to maintain her personality, and walked to the door with small steps.

Holding the doorknob with difficulty, he gently unscrewed it.

Outside the door was a man in a black and red waiter's costume, with fair skin and handsome features.

"Good evening, my honorable lady."

The male waiter showed a perfect smile, and asked respectfully and expectantly:
"Do you need any special services?"

In this city ruled by blood clans, human beings who are sheltered and able to live in peace naturally need to pay some price, that is, to become the blood food of blood clans.

But even if it is blood food, not all blood races can enjoy it at will.

Because in theory, the human residents of this city are all the private property of Luzius, and among the strictly hierarchical blood clans, private property has always been sacred and inviolable.

So even if the vampire wants to enjoy the blood food, he must obtain the consent of Luzius.

of course.

It is impossible for Lucius to provide 'legal advice' to every blood race anytime and anywhere, so most of the time it is just money.

Especially in the hotels prepared for the blood race, there have always been special services specially prepared for the blood race.These waiters are all ready to become blood food, as long as they give money.

And it's not necessarily a bad thing for them—

Although it will lose a certain amount of blood and make itself weak.

But when vampires suck blood, they usually have aphrodisiac side effects.

So most of the time, they can have a good time after being sucked blood.Of course, the premise is that they serve female blood races.And perhaps thanks to the influence of extraordinary power, most of the vampires are handsome men and women, at least in terms of appearance, they will definitely not suffer.

But if they are dressing men and blood races with special preferences, then they have to be prepared for the chrysanthemum to bloom...

And now, the reason why the male waiter volunteered to knock on the door.

Naturally, it was because there were two female blood races in the house, a noble blonde girl, and a well-behaved silver-haired loli.

As long as he can get the favor of one of them, maybe he can leap into the dragon's gate and become the exclusive blood food of these two blood clans!
He didn't think it was whimsical, after all, these two female blood clans brought a male blood food.And the waiter thinks that he must be stronger than him in terms of appearance and physique, so he has a great possibility of success!
However, just when he was full of expectations, he saw that the eyes of the silver-haired loli who opened the door became extremely cold.

Olnia put away her well-behaved appearance, stared at the waiter in front of her with cold and disgusted eyes, and said coldly:
"roll!"

A dense layer of cold sweat broke out on the waiter's forehead in an instant. He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to explain something, but in the end he knelt down on one knee with a slap, and tremblingly said under the indescribable pressure:

"Hold, I'm sorry, I'm leaving now..."

"boom!"

Olnia slammed the door shut, turned around, with a sweet smile on her face, trotted to Ember and held his hand, and said obediently:
"Brother, it's time to sleep."

Lilith's eyes were not friendly, and she really wanted to rush down to break up the couple, but she couldn't give up the position she finally occupied——

No matter how flamboyant the other party is, as long as she occupies the middle position, she can sit firmly on the Diaoyutai and remain invincible.

"Need not."

Ember glanced over the two women, and said:

"I'm not tired, you go to bed first."

Lilith's expression froze. If you don't sleep, wouldn't it be meaningless for me to take the seat?
