The Red Priests Chapter 94 – The Sea of Tranquility
Not bad, the “audience” is still very capable of self-regulation. …… Klein praised, looked at the big golden dog on the back seat of the bike, and then looked at the bike that was not quite the same as its counterparts on the street, and asked casually:
”This is a new type of pedal bike designed for women?”
”What do you mean it’s designed for women? If you want to ride it, you can ride it too.” Audrey responded with a smile, “I’m just telling the people at the bicycle company to consider different groups with different needs. It’s their latest design, not yet in the factory, so let me try riding it and give my opinion.”
”Very good idea.” Klein smiled and praised, then asked thoughtfully, “You know the owner of the Becklander Pedal Bike Company?”
Audrey’s eyes curved slightly as she replied:
”Of course, I’m one of the major shareholders of the Bakerland Pedal Car Company.”
Major shareholder …… I forgot about this matter …… She finally succeeded ah …… Klein seemed to understand something, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he shook his head in a self-deprecating manner:
”So it’s like this, my imagination is still not rich enough.
”Well? How do you feel after the test ride?”
Audrey put on the bicycle faucet, her eyes rolling slightly as she reminisced:
”It’s great, very suitable for women.”
Honorable lady, that’s not what you just said …… Klein raised his eyebrows, but didn’t interrupt the young girl’s words across the street.
Audrey put on her smile again and continued:
”For me, it allows me to adjust my mood and release my pressure, just like riding a horse, however, riding a horse has to change into specialized clothes, you have to go to a horse farm or the countryside, simply just in your own home and on the street, you can’t get the horse to run completely, it lacks the necessary sensation, while a bicycle doesn’t have such a problem, and it can also go to the alleys that a horse carriage can’t get into, and it can allow me to see the different landscapes, and I felt particularly happy just now when I rode past a house and saw a few flowers still blooming in their garden.
”Well, I’m also happy when I meet other cyclists who are trying very hard to live their lives with a little bit of hope, busy and rushed but not numb at all, well, don’t laugh at me, I know you’re going to say that the ones who can afford to buy a bicycle are definitely not at the bottom of the ladder of this society, and I’m just simply happy because of them.
”Hopefully, hopefully one day, I’ll be able to ride my bike through every street in Bakerland.”
Klein listened quietly, his mood getting a little better.
As Ms. Justice described it, it seemed that he could already see that scene in front of his eyes, and that it was the smallest bit of change he could bring to the world.
He gave a laugh and said:
”No, I don’t have a counter thought, it sounds interesting, and that’s the kind of picture I’d like to see in Berkland, the more the merrier.
”I had my doubts about certain things, and now I seem to have far fewer of them.”
With that said, he pointed to 22 Pacefield Street, the door of the Ruane Charitable Scholarship Fund:
”Go on in, it looks like it’s going to rain soon.”
”Okay, I’ll park.” Audrey got off her bike and pushed it and the big blonde dog around towards the back door.
There was a designated parking spot for bicycles, inside the house, out of the rain – in organizations like Ruane’s Charitable Scholarship Fund, staff members who needed to get out of the house more and more often rode their bikes, but of course no one dared to rely on that form of transportation! Deep into the East End, where anything could be stolen.
Near the back door, Suzie, a big blonde dog, jumped off the bike, looked back at the place just now, and said in a slightly puzzled manner:
”Audrey, when that Mr. Dontaeus heard that you were one of the major shareholders of the pedicab company, his tone was a bit complicated, but I couldn’t decipher what it really meant.”
Audrey pursed her lips and laughed softly:
”I have heard something before, the people who bid for the shares of the Pedal Car Company with Hebert in the first place included Mr. Dontaeus.”
”I see!” Susie broke into a visible smile, pleased with the accuracy of her observation.
”Inside the Ruane Charity Scholarship Fund, Klein waited gentlemanly until Ms. Audrey returned with her extraordinary canine companion, and walked with them to the second floor.
At this time, a staff member greeted Audrey and said:
”Miss Councilor, President Portland Mormont of Birkeland Technical University is waiting for you in the parlor.”
”Why is President Mormont here?” Audrey asked, slightly surprised.
The staff member greeted Councilor Dawn Dantes, then replied:
”He didn’t say ……”
Before the staff member could say anything, the tall, rosy-cheeked Portland Mormont came out of the parlor while tending to his gray hair.
He pressed his hand against his chest and saluted:
”Honorable Miss Audrey, please forgive my hasty visit.”
In Rune, after getting to know each other, noble ladies were addressed by their last name, and young ladies by their first name.
”It is an honor.” Audrey responded politely.
Portland Mormont, a more academically focused principal, didn’t bother with flattery or pleasantries or anything and smiled bluntly:
”It’s like this, I want to add a new mechanical laboratory in the University of Technology, with the aim of inventing and promoting all kinds of mechanical creations that are beneficial to industry and life, I don’t know if you’re interested in making a donation, or an investment?
”Hehe, Dawn, how about it? Any ideas for cooperation? Don’t worry, I’ll definitely ask for a grant from the Council of Higher Education.”
A very good idea, but Becklander, can the whole kingdom, the next may fall into the whirlpool …… Klein after listening to the words of President Mormont, a moment actually a little bit of a trance.
Audrey nodded slightly and smiled:
”It sounds interesting, but I need to see more information, it’s for my own sake and for yours.”
”I was thinking the same thing.” Klein followed.
Portland Mormont laughed brightly:
”No problem, I’ll go back and organize something for you guys.”
……
Misty Sea, on the Golden Dream.
Germaine Sparrow is actually concerned about the situation of this guy Anderson …… Also, what does it mean to collect items related to the “Disease Lieutenant General”? Many pirates are crazy to chase similar things, but never succeeded …… Danez, who received Gelman Sparrow’s message, was full of puzzlement in his heart.
But no matter how confused he was, he still thanked Mr. “Fool” seriously and carefully.
Then he put down his rod, turned into the cabin, and went all the way to the room where Anderson was staying.
Knocking on the door and opening it in one fluid motion, Danitz stood in the doorway with his arms folded, and said to Anderson, who was working on his painting:
”Well? How’s that thing in your stomach digesting?”
Anderson put down his brush, glanced at Daniz, and replied with a heavy tone:
”It’s already calling for its father.”
”……” Danez subconsciously took two steps back.
Anderson whirled around and regained his ease, chuckling:
”Just kidding, it’s not bad, you captains are thoughtful and action-oriented, the only problem is that you fail too many times.
”Uh, the thing in my stomach has been quarantined, it won’t be doing anything to me for a long time.”
He rubbed his stomach as he spoke.
Daniz moved his eyebrows and asked curiously:
”It would have had an effect originally?”
Anderson looked Daniz up and down a couple times:
”You should have heard that certain extraordinary properties or magical potions, if they come into contact with items for a long period of time, can seep into them, transforming them and making them difficult to utilize as seals, and the human body is nothing more than a relatively special bit of item.
”There are times when I’m skeptical that you gained extraordinary abilities by coming into contact with magic potions instead of taking them, to the point where your brain is corrupted.”
In the past, Danez would have been outraged, but now, he just heckled:
”Which means that if you don’t isolate it, you’ll gradually be infiltrated and transformed by that thing in your stomach, including your brain?”
Anderson tsked at that:
”Very well, continue, don’t stop, I think you can attempt to advance to sequence 6, well, you’re still very skilled at setting fires in general.”
Daniz responds dismissively:
”I’m just still short on material.”
Thinking about Germaine Sparrow’s orders, he reluctantly followed up with:
”What do we do with it after quarantine?”
Anderson rubbed the first button of his shirt and grinned:
”Two ideas, one is to get the help of a demigod like the ‘No Dark One’ to let that stuff precipitate out a little bit, in this regard, your captain has acquaintances. The only problem is that when that thing is analyzed, my extraordinary characteristics will probably be analyzed together, allowing me to regress in the sequence, or even become an ordinary person.
”The second thought is, find a way to get the ‘Iron Blood Knight’ magic potion formula, prepare the corresponding rituals and auxiliary materials, and see if I can have a chance to actively embrace that thing and become a demigod with its help.”
”That sounds dangerous.” Daniz gave a fair assessment of that latter thought.
Anderson’s smile became a little more pronounced:
”Indeed, it’s dangerous, and I don’t even know if it will work.
”But, don’t you think it’s interesting that it’s so difficult and so challenging? It’s at least more aesthetically pleasing to me than the first approach.”
Daniz shook his head seriously:
”Don’t think so.”
He then asked, half provocatively, half tentatively:
”Don’t you have quite an inheritance, no, property somewhere? I could help you send the ashes back.”
Not at all offended, Anderson nodded solemnly:
”You might consider just eating my ashes when the time comes.”
…… Why is this guy completely unprovoked …… Danez twitched the corners of his mouth for a moment and decided to give up on this and go to the captain and ask how he could get the “Disease Lieutenant General” related items.
……
Late at night, 160 Birklund Street, Klein was about to go to sleep when he saw the messenger lady carrying four blonde-haired, red-eyed heads out of the void, one of them biting into a thin letter in an envelope.
”Who sent it?” Klein asked out of habit and reached for it.
The four heads of Renette Tignicole opened their mouths in turn:
”Dislikes ……” “nicknames ……” “the ……” “Sharon ……”
