Chapter 226 The Generous Prince

The scene in front of him immediately reminded Klein of the romance story told by Talim Dumont:

His noble friend fell in love with a commoner woman, and he would not marry unless she was the only one. This is absolutely not allowed in the top circle of nobles. Talim was very troubled by this and almost hired murderers, but in the end he persuaded He raped the woman and made her leave his friend voluntarily.

Could it be that the protagonist of this story is Edsaac Augustus? The situation in all aspects is very consistent. As a prince, marrying a commoner is simply a deviant behavior in this era. Since the founding of Loen, the spouses of the direct members of the Augustus family are and can only be noble women. ... Listening to the meaning revealed in the words just now, Edsack has found that commoner woman again? Moreover, she was given a punishment of grounding? True love... In just an instant, a story about a domineering prince and a poor little white flower took shape in Klein's mind.

He let go of his eyes and admired the midwinter scenery in front of him.

"It's not what it really looks like now. When the green grass sprouts in spring, you will see a golf course of the highest standard." Prince Edsac sent the maid away, raised his whip, and pointed around.

"Golf?" Klein thought of the answer as he asked back.

Prince Edsac signaled the guards and followers to stay away, leaving only the old butler and Klein to follow.

While walking on the barren flat ground, he laughed and said:

"Yes, golf, this is a sport that truly belongs to the aristocrats, and it is difficult for most magazine and newspaper owners to have the opportunity to participate.

"Although I don't like Russell, I have to admit that his whimsy has given us an interesting enough world. If you can figure out Talim's death, this place will be open to you at any time."

It really was Roselle... Klein let out a sigh of relief.

Seeing that he didn't respond, Prince Edsac continued to sigh with emotion:

"Roselle is worth learning in every aspect, but his attitude towards feelings disgusts me. Of course, this is the commonality and style of most Intis nobles, and it is also the root of their obsession with luxury and rotten life."

Edesak looked at the stream ahead with slow flow and little water, and said in a mature tone beyond his age:

"Ninety-nine percent of people are not geniuses like Russell. If you want to be successful and build a great career, you must figure out what you really want, what price you are willing to pay for it, and never look back Go on firmly."

Having said that, his tone slowed down, and he laughed at himself:

"Before this year, I always thought that I liked Earl Hall's daughter very much. She has a perfect appearance, elegant manners, rich property, a prominent family, and a very powerful father. This is a marriage that a prince can't fault Object, but, I now understand that what really attracts me, what I want to have even in my dreams, is a unique temperament and a deep soul born of experience, huh, I’m not talking about the one from Earl Hall’s family. Miss has no temperament, but that's not what I want, appreciate, or like."

Your Royal Highness, your current tone, attitude, and expression are almost the same as Talim's before he was alive... Don't suddenly die in front of me, then I won't be able to wash away my suspicions even if I jumped into the Tussoke River... And If you hear this kind of thing too much, it will be easy to be silenced. Are you trying to tie me to your chariot... Klein is inexplicably scared.

He cleared his throat and took the initiative to change the topic:

"His Royal Highness, with your identity and status, you will definitely not lack subordinates. Some people are willing to investigate Talim's death for you. Why do you have to find me?"

Edsack shook his head and smiled lowly:

"As a prince, there is as much freedom as there is power. Many things cannot be done by people around me. Most of them are looking at me.

"You are a capable and intelligent detective, and you have a good friendship with Talim, and you were on the scene at the time, I don't think there is anyone more suitable than you.

"Don't worry, if there is any problem,

I can assure you of your safety. "

This kind of promise is like toilet paper in the bathroom... Klein couldn't help but slander.

Prince Edesak had already reached this point. He felt that if he refused again, he might be inseparable from Red Rose Manor, so he sighed:

"Actually, I am as angry as you are about Talim's death, but the reality makes me only remain calm."

Edsack showed a smile and said:

"What help do you need from me?"

"Choose one of Talim's hair, flesh and blood, plus his belongings." Klein made a request.

"Okay, I'll have these things delivered to your home later." Edsack immediately agreed, and then asked curiously, "Only these?"

Klein was not polite:

"I will know what kind of help I need when I have a preliminary direction. Your Highness, you'd better give me a contact information. A private detective always comes to this manor, which must be suspicious."

Edsack nodded, and said as if he had been prepared:

"I will let someone secretly rent the house next door to you, which is No. 13 Minsk Street. When you need to contact, you can write a letter to visit your new neighbor and put it in the mailbox. As for the reward, you should know, I I am not a stingy person. Even if there is no result in the end, as long as you make a contribution and take risks, you will also have a corresponding income. If you really find out the truth, I will give you a reward that is enough for your retirement. "

His Royal Highness is very swift and resolute... For the pension, at least 3,000 pounds will go up... Klein secretly sighed.

"Okay, may Talim's spirit find peace in the kingdom of storm and lightning." He bowed and saluted.

Edsack nodded lightly, and told the old housekeeper:

"You take Detective Moriarty out and send him back to Minsk Street."

Don't you keep me for lunch? Isn't this arrogant attitude towards guests? Of course, the main reason is that it's still a long time before noon... Klein made fun of it silently.

He followed the old butler all the way to the gate of the manor, and took back the gun bag, revolver and bullets.

…………

In No. 15 Minsk Street, Klein stood in front of the oriel window, watching the carriage with the royal coat of arms go away.

"I really need to investigate deeply, Sherlock Moriarty may die suddenly at any time... Maybe someone is watching me now, well, not yet, after all, I haven't launched any actions yet..." Klein tweeted Frowning, he stood quietly.

At this moment, he has an unprecedented urgency to be promoted to "Faceless Man".

"We can't just wait for the 'Heart of the Machine' to explore the tomb of the Amon family. We have to continue to try to purchase the characteristics of the human skin shadow through other channels. After all, no one knows how long the 'Heart of the Machine' will be ready. If it takes more than a month , or even more than half a year? It’s not impossible. It’s a pretty good strategy to send people to guard the entrance first, and then slowly collect the corresponding information to ensure that nothing goes wrong. But if that’s the case, I can’t afford to wait…” Klein thought After all, I made up my mind.

At 2:45 in the afternoon, he carried the newspaper and entered the bathroom, actively preparing for this week's Tarot meeting.

Three o'clock sharp.

A crimson and illusory light rose, and Audrey Hall looked around in a good mood.

Last night, she finally got the long-awaited Sequence 7 "Psychologist" potion formula. At this time, she still had that mixed feeling of excitement, excitement, steadfastness, and stability, and the Psychology Alchemy Association did not ask her to make a contribution immediately. Call it an advance.

They fully believed that Miss Audrey had excellent "repayment" ability.

There are no new members... Audrey "Justice" stood up, cast her gaze at the top of the long bronze table, raised her skirt, and saluted:

"Good afternoon, Mister Fool~ good afternoon..."

Her brisk and joyful voice broke the eternal silence above the gray mist, and Klein, who was originally in a somewhat depressed mood, was temporarily freed from the troubles of the outside world.

He nodded slightly, responding to the greetings of several members.

When she sat down again, Audrey brought the figures of other members into her eyes again, and formed a dynamic scene with the previously observed picture:

Apart from saluting, Mister "The Hanged Man" quietly looked at Mister "Fool" with indistinct curiosity, and then he looked at Mister "World", expecting something... In other words, he has a bad relationship with the Church of Storms Shallowly, he knew the details of the assassination of Duke Negan, and learned that the grand thief "Dark Emperor" appeared on the scene, and he had the desire to explore the truth hidden behind the scenes... The "world" entrusted to him to sell by Mr. The "werewolf" Extraordinary characteristic seems to have had results, and he may have found one of the two materials, the characteristic of the human skin shadow and the hair of the deep sea naga...

The mood of "Sun" is very stable, with a bit of relaxation, which shows that he thinks that the City of Silver's monitoring of him has been lifted... What does he rely on to make a judgment? Reorganized into the so-called exploration team?

Forsi was a little depressed while relaxing... She passed the test of that Abraham family member and became his student, but was forced to accept some things that were not good for her?

Mr. World is as cold and gloomy as usual...Maybe I get Sequence 7, or even Sequence 6, so I can grasp his emotional changes and thoughts...

Well, "The Fool" is still so mysterious, powerful, and unpredictable.

A series of thoughts flashed through Audrey the Justice's mind, she looked at the figure shrouded in gray mist and said:

"Dear Mister Fool, I have newly obtained three pages of Roselle's diary."

This is the transcript she asked for from the "Psychological Alchemist Association". Because it was mentioned last night, the time was relatively short, and Escalante only had time to give her three pages.

"What reward do you want?" Klein asked with a smile.

Audrey replied sincerely:

"Just treat it as your reward for answering my question before, can you?"

When she said this, she was inexplicably showing off:

Mr. "The Hanged Man", you don't even know the existence of the "Twilight Hermit Society"!

Phew, I'm really envious, Miss Justice asked some difficult questions in private... I wrote to the teacher when I got back, asking him if there is Roselle's diary there, no, for the outside world, the notes... "Magic Master" Forsi suddenly had desire and motivation.

Under the suspicious gaze of "The Hanged Man", Klein nodded indifferently:

"Can."

Audrey quickly manifested three yellow-brown diaries and passed them on to Mister Fool.

Klein took a look, and saw the first page wrote:

"On January 13th, I got in touch with Mr. 'Gate' steadily."
