Mystery: Shadow of Order

Tingen, 36 Zoetland Street, Blackthorn Security.

Klein, who had just experienced Old Neil's repayment ritual magic, hadn't come out of his surprise. He never thought that Old Neil had really succeeded. He was thinking about whether he should try it.

That's 30 pounds! His ten weeks salary!

"Klein? Klein?"

"what?"

Klein recovered from his fantasy, looked at Luo Shan who just waved his hand in front of his eyes, and said with a dry smile:

"Rosanne, what's the matter with you?"

The brown-haired girl Roshan frowned and looked at Klein, who was a little wrong:

"Klein, what's the matter with you? I called you so many times and you didn't respond."

"Ah? It's okay, it's okay. I was just thinking about the demonstration in Backlund yesterday."

Klein scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, alas, I can't tell you that I'm thinking of using magic to make money!

"That kind of march is very common. A month ago to repeal the "Corn Act", there were marches in major cities across the country."

Roshan, who was jumping in thinking, was easily attracted by the topics Klein was talking about, and talked about her own experiences with great interest:

"In Tingen, I participated in a lot of demonstrations. The previous "Corn Bill" and earlier encouraged factories to accept female workers and advocated women to go out to work. Let me tell you, before I..."

Klein hurriedly interrupted Roshan's interest. If she was allowed to continue speaking, she would not know where it would go. He pointed to a black-and-white photo in the newspaper of seven or eight disabled soldiers, supporting each other and holding a parade slogan.

"But Roshan, this parade are all retired soldiers, and they're all disabled soldiers."

"This is a normal thing. After the war in the kingdom, there will always be parades like this. Who made our country have a bad soldier pension system?"

Leonard Mitchell with black hair and green eyes came out of the partition. He was still not wearing formal clothes, and his white shirt was not tucked into his trousers. He was full of poetic debauchery.

"Aren't you afraid that something will go wrong?"

Even if he has never participated in a parade or seen a parade, Klein knows very well that the parade is different from one to another. Especially like in the newspaper, a group of soldiers, a group of soldiers who have experienced life and death, once handled improperly, causing chaos is extremely terrifying.

"Most of the Beyonders in the Loen royal family and the army are in the 'Arbiter' sequence, which is the most suitable for dealing with riots and parades. With them in control, there will be no major troubles."

"Arbiter? Is it also Sequence 9?"

Klein has long wanted to know the extraordinary knowledge about the Loen royal family and nobles, but Old Neil has been teaching him other esoteric knowledge, and he has never been able to find a suitable excuse.

Leonard did not sit on the sofa, but reclined on the sofa with a free-spirited look. He looked down at the newspaper on the coffee table, raised his head and said:

"Yes, 'Arbiters' often have convincing charm and sufficient authority, as well as excellent fighting ability to deal with surprises."

This sounds very similar to Mr. "Emperor". Different Mr. "Emperor" seem to have good observation skills. Is it the ability of a higher sequence or is it cultivated by oneself?

Klein thought for a while, then continued to ask:

"Are the members of the royal family Beyonders? Are they also arbitrators?"

"Some members of the royal family must be Beyonders. I don't know if they are in the arbiter sequence. After all, the Augustus family has existed since the fourth era, and it is a family that has been passed down for two thousand years."

Then the royal family must have a high-sequence Beyonder, Sequence 3, Sequence 2, or even Sequence 1?

Although Klein studied history, he mostly studied the history of this era, that is, the Black Iron Era, while the Augustus had spanned two epochs, so he could not help but sigh:

"Two thousand years!"

Leonard, who has an old grandfather, naturally knows a lot about these families that have been handed down from the Fourth Epoch. He stretched his fingers and listed them one by one:

"Such families are not limited to the Augustus, such as the Castilla family of the Fenepot royal family who also control the 'arbiter', the Einhorn family of the Feysac Empire, the Sauron family of Intis, the Solomon family of……"

Klein, who was enjoying listening to it, saw Leonard suddenly stop and asked:

"What about Solomon?"

Leonard coughed violently and continued:

"The 'King of the Five Seas' Nast is said to be the descendant of the royal family of the Solomon Empire."

"Nast? The owner of the 'Dark Emperor'?"

Dark Emperor? Emperor? Klein frowned. He felt as if he had caught something?

"right."

……

Backlund, Queens, the huge banquet hall in Earl Wolfe's house.

Audrey Hall was wearing a long light white dress with a stand-up collar, high waist and leg-of-mutton sleeves. The upper body was tied tightly, the waist was very thin, and the multi-layered cake cut was perfectly supported by whale hoops.

Her long blond hair is elegantly tied, earrings, necklaces and rings all shimmer, and at her feet are a pair of white dancing shoes studded with roses and diamonds.

She is holding a glass of crystal-colored champagne in her left hand, but instead of being in the center of the banquet and becoming the focus of everyone, she avoided the excitement and stood quietly in the shadow of the floor-to-ceiling windows.

She took a sip of champagne and looked away at the people in front with a gesture that didn't belong here:

Mrs. Della used her left hand to cover her laughter again and again today~www.readwn.com~ Well, I see, she is showing off the pure aquamarine on her left hand.

Her husband, Duke Negan, was discussing the situation with several conservative nobles not far away. From the beginning of the banquet to the present, he only took the initiative to look for his Mrs. Della once.

They barely have real eye contact. Maybe, well, they're not as affectionate as they appear.

Mrs. Parnis was amused by Baron Larry seven times, which was normal and not surprising, but why did she look at her husband with a guilty conscience. Well, they separated. No, everywhere they go leads to the garden.

Count Wolf's youngest son, Todd, didn't look for a girl from a noble family, but talked to a man instead?

The man was very tall, nearly ten centimeters taller than Todd, who was about to become an adult. He had black hair and brown eyes. His bow tie stood taller than others. It seemed to be a special style, more like that of a barrister or a judge. Fake collar.

Is he a barrister?

This is Countess Wolfe's ball. Most of the invited people should be nobles or people from both parties. He should not be a noble. I haven't seen him before. Is he a member of the new party? But how could he be talking to Todd together?

He noticed me!

Audrey saw the man turned around and looked at her, so she raised the champagne in her hand and nodded in greeting.

Audrey breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, she suddenly felt something, turned her head abruptly, and looked at the spacious balcony outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, and at the dark corner of the spacious balcony.

In that shadow, a golden retriever sat quietly, looking inside, looking at Audrey, half of its body was hidden in the darkness.

Susie! Audrey's mouth twitched, her expression instantly collapsed, and she could no longer maintain her "audience" state.
