The fourth part of the undead Chapter 28 circle really small
I thought that she would contemptuously say that she doesn’t like childish people who are incapable of doing anything on their own, implying that she doesn’t like ordinary people, but who knows, she didn’t even bother answering this question …… Heh, this kind of superiority mentality can easily lead to a loss of control in the promotion later on … …Klein couldn’t help but slander a few words in his heart.
In his mind, extraordinary people were just humans with extra abilities, equivalent to being rich and having status, but in essence, they still had the attributes of humans and couldn’t be separated from society, and had to reach Sequence 4 before they could be considered to have a qualitative change.
Moreover, most of the demigods are also active in the human society, even the “Serpent of Destiny” of Sequence 1, Will Onsettin, is still doing well as an unborn fetus. …… Maybe only at the stage of the “blasphemer”, Amon and others, they are still in the human society, and the human society is still in the human society. Perhaps only at the stage of “Blasphemer” Amon and the others can they truly look at the real world with the eyes of a “god.”…… Klein’s thoughts changed, and he took the initiative to speak:
”Sorry, I used to be a merchant who frequently traveled between the northern and southern continents, and I don’t have much experience with balls, huh, I mean this kind of ball.”
”That’s fine.” Hazel responded calmly, seemingly not caring whether or not the other party brought up the topic from earlier.
Any other person, at this point, they would already not know how to make small talk with this haughty young girl, and could only focus on the dance, but Klein nowadays was considered to be well-informed and experienced, and had enough knowledge of the Mystic World’s understanding of the different Extraordinary People, and smiled along with the apology he had made just now, and then said:
”This is not an easier challenge for me than the sea, with the same beautiful scenery and harboring countless difficulties, and of course, there are all sorts of treasure stories circulating on the sea, some of which are obviously false, and some of which sound like they are true but cannot be verified, like the number one ranked ‘Key of Death’ ‘.”
”Death’s Key?” Hazel raised her head and looked at Mr. Dawn Dantes, who was considerably taller than herself.
As expected, this kind of extraordinary person with a strong sense of superiority would always be interested in things involving mysteries……. Klein smiled darkly and nodded his head gently:
”Yes, it is rumored to be in a certain hidden place in the Berserk Sea ……”
He told the treasure legend he heard on the White Onyx in a selective manner, and added more details that he had heard in his subsequent adventuring career.
In the process, he inevitably mentioned the “Four Kings” and the seven pirate generals.
Hazel was obviously interested in this, and rarely responded to Klein, even occasionally asking questions, which made the dance between the two no longer awkward, and unknowingly came to an end.
Klein tactfully ended the topic just now and turned to ask:
”Are you going back to where you were, or are you going over there to get some food?”
After a dance, a man must follow a lady’s wishes and send her where she wants to go, not necessarily where she was originally.
Hazel opened her mouth as if she wanted to ask something else, but in the end didn’t utter those words and nodded haughtily:
”The place just now.”
Hehehe, she is obviously a little reluctant to the story of the sea ah …… This is a large bear child, as long as you feel the temperament and find a hobby, it’s actually not that difficult to get along with …… Klein held back his laughter, and sent Hazel back to the edge of the dance floor, where she was originally standing in the position.
As for himself, of course, he pretended to casually walk towards a long table with various foods, picked up a dinner plate, and gave himself a pan-seared lobster with a cut steak topped with black pepper sauce.
More than dancing and socializing, food is the true meaning of the party …… Klein thought as he tried to make his eating movements look elegant.
That’s when he saw Lady Mary approach and fork a piece of red wine foie gras onto her plate.
Klein saw the other man sweep himself off his feet, so he smiled politely and nodded in response.
”I don’t know what to call you? I haven’t seen you at the banquet and ball that Senator Macht held earlier.” Perhaps seeing Dawn Dantes with white sideburns and deep, attractive blue eyes, Lady Mary, who had high cheekbones and average looks, took the initiative to inquire.
Klein smiled:
”I’m Dawn Dantes, a businessman who just came over from Dixie Bay and lives in this neighborhood.
”Ma’am, do I have the honor of knowing your name?”
Mary nodded thoughtfully, it becoming generally clear that this was a businessman trying his best to squeeze into high society, much like herself in the past.
She spoke with a smile:
”Mary Short, director of Cowiem.”
She did not mention that she was the largest shareholder in the Cowie Company, nor did she say that she was currently a member of the Air Pollution Investigation Board, a Ruanean subtlety.
Mary Short, is this a return to her father’s name? Yes, she’s divorced …… Klein muttered silently and smiled:
”I know this company, which specializes in anthracite coal and high-quality charcoal, and has been expanding very rapidly in recent months, huh, frankly speaking, I have the intention to invest, but it seems that I can not compete with others.”
The demand for anthracite coal and high quality charcoal has increased dramatically since the introduction of the air pollution related bills, and Cowiem has been able to grow beyond its previous years of endeavor, with its overall value said to have exceeded 250,000 gold pounds. Crane’s interest in investing was not casual, but he really felt that the business would become even more important for many years to come, until mankind discovered alternative sources of energy.
Mary, who had been proud of the fact that she had pushed for the air pollution survey report to come out, which had allowed Cowiem to grow considerably, sniffed with a hard-to-conceal smile and said:
”That’s because people are becoming more aware of the environment they live in.”
With that said, she sighed slightly and said:
”While it’s getting better and better, there’s also more and more trouble.”
Because she had “just” met her, Klein didn’t ask what kind of trouble there was, and because she knew Lady Mary from before, she easily found a topic of interest to the other party, allowing the two of them to have a rather pleasant conversation.
Oh, her attitude towards Sherlock Moriarty and Dawn Dantes is very different ah …… originally familiar with the person, after a change of face, a change of identity, stood in front of her, but received a brand new treatment, without a little problem, this feeling is really wonderful… …As we chatted, Klein felt a wave of emotion, only to realize that the “Faceless Man” magic potion he had taken was being rapidly digested.
After a few minutes, a handsome man with brilliant blonde hair walked over with a glass of red wine and smiled at Mrs. Mary:
”Mary, what are you guys talking about?”
”Hebert, this is Mr. Dawn Dantes from Dixie, his experience at sea in West Byron was really quite interesting.” Mary instantly introduced the two men, “Dawn, this is Mr. Hibbert Hall, the eldest son of the Earl of Eastchester, oh, we’re supposed to address him as Lord, but he prefers us to call him Mr. Principal Secretary, the Principal Secretary of the Committee of Inquiry into Air Pollution.”
I’ve heard you say that, certainly when active in the capacity of Sherlock Moriarty …… the Earl of Eastchester, which is a great nobleman, truly at the top of the social ladder ah …… Crane saluted respectfully but not humbly:
”Please allow me to express my gratitude as a commoner, the work of the Atmospheric Pollution Investigation Committee has given us a better environment to live in.”
Hibbert Hall, quite amused by this sincere expression of thanks, smiled and responded:
”It was an effort by all of us.”
Mary, on the other hand, laughed beside her:
”Dawn, don’t bring this up again, it’ll make Hibbert proud, no I was just joking, he’s more modest than any nobleman’s son I’ve ever known, he’s clearly supposed to be on vacation in the East Cheshire family domain at this time of the year, going hunting with a group of friends, but he came back as soon as I sent over the telegram from Senator Macht inviting us to the ball this week. ”
”It’s not just for the ball, there’s a lot of things I need to take care of, and my father, the Earl of Hall, will be traveling back and forth between Berkland and the family domain just as often until June.” Hebert explained seriously.
A gentleman who took his social image seriously …… Klein made a preliminary judgment in his mind.
Mary sniffed and asked casually:
”What else do you have going on? When do you leave Birkeland?”
”Everything else has been taken care of, only one last thing remains, huh, my sister Audrey is interested in 10% of the shares of the Bakerland Pedaler Company and hired a professional team to help her negotiate, I am responsible for coordinating this matter.” Hebert said without much concern.
Ten percent of the shares of Bakerland Pedaler Company? What a coincidence. …… I have to say, the circle of high society is not very big. …… Klein secretly sighed and deliberately mentioned:
”I also looked for a team to acquire that 10% share, opened to 9000 pounds, unfortunately, this can not compete with others, I have to give up.”
Hibbert gave him a slightly surprised look:
”You’re very discerning.”
He didn’t mention what the exact offer was from his side, lest the other party engage in competition again.
9000 pounds …… Mary muttered silently to herself, feeling that she had underestimated Dawn Dantes’s financial strength.
At that moment, the melody of the third dance rang out, and Hibbert Hall turned to face Mary:
”Do I have the honor of asking you for a dance?”
”I have been waiting for your invitation.” Mary instantly extended her hand.
This left Klein’s idea of exchanging business cards with them directly unfulfilled, but he was in no hurry, as the dance was still a long way off.
After getting another plate of food, he enjoyed it while looking out onto the dance floor and admiring the ladies and ladies dancing.
In the process, he noticed Councilor Macht and Lady Liana circling around the different guests, chatting with all of them and even dancing a few dances.
”According to Walter, after finalizing the guest list, the host must carefully summarize each guest’s preferences and experiences, and accordingly devise different conversational phrases or jokes to make each person feel like they are being treated individually……. Upper class human interaction is so troublesome… …Heh, this might be the reason why the hairline of Rune’s gentlemen is generally high …… ” Klein sighed while bellyaching.
He withdrew his gaze and looked at the empty dinner plate, thinking seriously about whether to ask a certain lady or lady to dance next, or to eat some more.
Just then, out of the corner of his eye, he caught the figure of Hazel Macht, a young girl who was heading to the third floor with slightly hurried footsteps.
