Of course, in this world with extraordinary power, the stars may have stronger symbols.
After some consideration, he said with a smile: "There are stars above your heads."
This sentence is absolutely correct, and it is of high quality, which is enough to make Miss Justice and Mr. Hanged Man give up the idea of continuing to ask.
Are there stars above our heads?
Audrey and Alger subconsciously looked up, and even the little sun also looked up.
He was horrified, and an unspeakable fear seemed to crawl all over his body from the bottom of his heart in an instant.
Audrey and Alger lowered their heads at the same time.
Speculations about the stars in my heart.
As Mr. Fool said, there are stars above the head. This symbolic meaning is even more terrifying than the seven righteous gods.
After all, the Eternal Blazing Sun is just a star.
Only then did Alger understand in his heart why the Church of the Seven Gods would unanimously look for the so-called followers of the stars, out of fear and the unknown.
Little Sun glanced at the gray mist above his head twice more, wondering why he needed to be afraid.
Gray mist is better than darkness, right?
As for the stars?
Their Silver City couldn't even see the sun, let alone the stars.
He really hoped that the light of the stars could shine all over their Silver City.
But now there is Mr. Fool, and he believes that Mr. Fool will definitely bring light to Silver City in the near future!
Klein calmed the three of them with just one sentence, and said with a smile: "Let's end the party today."
After sending the three people away, Klein also looked up. Fortunately, he didn't feel anything special.
People are always afraid of the stars because of the unknown and their own insignificance.
But the gorgeous starry sky always attracts attention, making people want to be immersed in it for the rest of their lives.
If he hadn't known that the starry sky was extremely dangerous, he would have wanted to see how the starry sky in this world was different from the starry sky in his original world.
After all, humans have yet to find the second planet where life was born.
He is very interested in knowing what kind of galaxy environment is needed to create a second life planet.
Maybe he can also see shapes similar to the Milky Way from the galaxy map.
Klein thought about it for a while and then stopped thinking about it. This kind of thing was too far away from him.
Go offline and leave the gray fog.
Klein adjusted his clothes in the bathroom mirror and walked out.
He took out his pocket watch and checked the time, then snapped it shut again.
It was still a little early, so he could go out for a stroll, buy some ingredients, and prepare a sumptuous dinner.
The beef stew with potatoes last time was well received, but Melissa felt sorry for him for wasting too much oil.
Well, buy Melissa a bigger piece of pudding so she can eat it all at once.
After shopping, the mysterious and great Mr. Fool began to cut vegetables, open the fire, put the pot in the pot, and cook.
When Melissa and Benson came back, they were stunned for a moment when they saw the sumptuous dinner, and then they understood something.
Benson sent his blessings and encouragement, and Melissa's eyes turned red as she also whispered her blessings.
Klein raised a glass of ginger beer and smiled: "We are only temporarily separated. We will reunite in Backlund in the future. Cheers to the upcoming reunion."
"cheers!"
Benson also raised a glass of ginger beer, and Melissa carefully held the lemon pudding, which was twice larger than before, in her hands.
The next day, Klein went to the Blackthorn Security Company and submitted a transfer application to his captain, Dunn Smith, that he hoped to be transferred to Backlund.
Dunn Smith picked up the official seal and stamped it, and said with a smile: "This is a very wise decision. Tingen is small and your future is bright. You should go out and have a try while you are young."
"No, Tingen is not small at all. It will look great because of the captain's protection."
Klein smiled, just like the smile he showed when he received his first salary as a Nighthawk.
Chapter 164 When Klein arrives at Backlund
"Klein, look, this is the steam train leading to Backlund. The discovery of steam is definitely the greatest invention of this era!"
Leonard enthusiastically began to act as a tour guide, giving an introduction to Klein, from the invention of steam to the discovery of steam trains, to the laying of tracks and putting them into civilian use.
Klein kept a polite smile, but he was thinking in his heart, if Leonard knew that there would be an electric age in the future, how would he react?
When he sees a car driving on the street, he will definitely be amazed that this iron beetle with four wheels can travel so fast.
When he saw the plane in the sky, he would be completely shocked. When did humans conquer the sky?
The look on his face must have been even better when he was given a smartphone.
As he thought about it, the corners of Klein's mouth slightly raised. Why didn't he know how to enjoy it more before?
After waiting for about half an hour, the two people successfully boarded the steam train to Backlund. As a whistle echoed in every corner of the platform, the huge monster-like steam train locomotive dragged more than twenty carriages. Start heading to Backlund, the city of hope.
……
When another whistle sounded, the steam train arrived at Backlund dragging its heavy body.
Klein, who was wearing a formal tuxedo and a half-high silk top hat, and Leonard, who was very active next to him, followed the crowd out of the train door and outside the platform.
Leonard stared at the gray sky for a long time, and finally complained: "Klein, the sky in Backlund is simply worse than what was described in the newspapers. When I thought about living in a place like this in the future, I was originally happy. My mood was poured cold water on."
"In addition to the gray sky, the air quality here has always been very bad. Apart from advanced technology and population, everything here cannot be compared with Tingen."
"Alas, in such a gloomy world, pastoral poetry has gone further and further away from me. If one day I can no longer write moving poems, it must be Backlund's fault."
"Hey, this sentence just now is quite poetic. I must write it down. Maybe I can use it when I write new poems in the future."
With Leonard as his nagging substitute, Klein, who originally wanted to complain, chose to shut up silently and took out his pocket watch to check the time.
It's half past four in the afternoon, but it's already very late now. Gas lamps are lit everywhere, and the dim light dispels the gloom and darkness here.
He suddenly remembered a joke in the "Tasok News": "A gentleman who had just arrived in Backlund was lost in the thick fog, so he had to ask a wet gentleman who passed by him about his tower. How to go along the Sauk River? The gentleman kindly replied: Go straight, don’t stop, I just swam up from there.”
Every time they saw a newspaper about Backlund, the reporters and editors spared no effort to ridicule the air pollution here. Now it seems that they have taken good care of the face of the powerful.
"Come on, we need to report to St. Samuel's Church."
"Kline, why don't you choose to join the Red Gloves with me?"
“I prefer to be a
Nightwatcher."
"Well, I hope we see each other more often in the future."
"Yes. After all, you have just joined the Red Gloves and it will take some time to get used to it."
Leonard thought the same thing, so he and Klein looked at the map and started to find the way, and soon boarded the steam train heading to the North District.
After reporting to St. Samuel's Church, Klein was assigned to the Nighthawks team responsible for managing the West District.
In Backlund, there are three Nighthawk teams in total, one is stationed in the Queens District, one is in the West District, and the other is in the Dock District.
Klein can be sent directly to the West Division, which is already a very good starting point.
Although the positions of the three Nighthawk teams are the same, the Queens District is the area where the nobles and the royal family are located. The Nighthawk team here has the best location, and the invisibility conditions for joining are higher.
Klein didn't pay too much attention to these things. He only cared about how much his weekly salary had increased since he was transferred to Backlund this time.
There is also whether the Nighthawks team is responsible for arranging food and accommodation.
If you are looking for a house by yourself and are living on your own terms, should you get housing and meal subsidies?
After all, this is Backlund, and the daily expenses are definitely much higher than those in Tingen.
Leonard, who wanted to stay in Red Gloves for a period of training, was lamenting the strength of the goddess.
Backlund divided so many districts, and the Church of the Goddess of the Night suddenly occupied three important districts: Queens District, West District, and North District.
Although when dealing with things on a daily basis, each is responsible for managing its own believers, and it is not such a simple division, but mixed management.
But this does not prevent Leonard from thinking that the goddess is the most powerful. After all, a qualified believer can always find every place where he can praise the gods.
"Klein, we will say goodbye now. After I decide where to live, remember to write and chat with me if you have nothing to do."
"Well, I'm also going to learn how to summon a messenger from Ms. Dai Li."
"Summon a messenger from the spirit world. If I have time, I will get one too. Only then will I be considered a qualified Beyonder." Leonard looked a little excited.
Klein just shook his head secretly. He just thought that if he had to communicate and chat with Leonard all the time, it would be a waste of postage, so it would be more economical to send the letter by courier.
After parting ways with Leonard, Klein went to report to the Nighthawks team in the West District alone.
……
"I don't know how things are going in Tingen. Has the original story changed? Did Klein rewrite the ending, or did he still die in that disaster?"
Hastur was counting the time at home, and the incident in Tingen was almost over.
He did not send anyone to Tingen, so he had no idea what exactly happened in Tingen.
However, a few days ago, I read a little bit of records about Tingen in a newspaper called "Lun Briefing".
The newspaper said that there had been a small disturbance in Tingen, but it was quickly dealt with.
With such brief information, it is impossible to guess what exactly happened in Tingen.
In this regard, Hasta can only analyze Tingen's affairs through speculation.
This made him not continue to forge the Russell diary during this period of time. He could only tell Audrey that there was no new Russell diary for the time being and missed the opportunity to make money.
Opportunity to write.
"Lord Baron, the Harley manager sent someone to deliver the factory's earnings this month."
While Hastur was meditating in the study, Butler Neil's arrival interrupted his temporary thoughts.
"How many are there in total?"
