"The customs of the Southern Continent really are different from ours." Audrey looked down at the feather hat ornament in the gift box and praised sincerely, "But it still suits my taste."
Her last remark was half sincere and half polite. On one hand, she indeed thought the processed feather was like a work of art, but on the other, she felt its style was too flashy and extreme, not the kind she liked to use as an accessory.
It was like how many people visiting ancient ruins would take an interest in items with unique and mysterious designs and praise them, but rarely buy similar things to place at home or wear as ornaments.
Upon hearing this, Klein smiled and said: "There are actually big differences among various customs in the Southern Continent. Eastern Balam and Western Balam are almost completely different from the highlands and valleys, though they also have commonalities, such as venerating gold and believing this metal possesses magical powers."
Having said that, he pointed at the feather in Audrey's hand and said: "Rumor has it that people who wear such hat ornaments will receive the protection of the Feathered Serpent, which is 'Death'."
He was hinting at the hidden function of the feather.
Audrey, now a Sequence 6 of the Spectator pathway, easily caught the implication in Mr. World's words and understood that the hat ornament could, at a critical moment, receive a response from the so-called "Death" and play a role.
As for the specific operation, it was basic knowledge of mysticism, and Audrey had a solid grasp, so Mr. Dwayne Dantès didn't need to elaborate.
She smiled without showing her teeth and said: "I really like it. I'll put it on my hat on appropriate occasions."
"Not bad. It's easy talking to a Spectator." Klein returned the smile and pointed outside the door. "There are still some gifts to deliver."
"You're the most popular person here today." Audrey smiled back, expressing her thanks in an indirect way.
At the same time, she was inwardly troubled, hesitating whether to seize the opportunity and tell Mr. World about Hewin Lampus, which he, having been involved in the Caron suicide case, would be very interested in and take seriously.
"Well, it's almost Monday, so I'll wait until the
This made her suspect that many in
Additionally, she had a vague understanding of something: Every time her father and mother went to Saint Samuel Cathedral for mass, the officiating priest was always the Backlund archbishop, and whoever held that position was surely a demigod of the
When she snapped back to her senses, the white paper in front of her had numerous intertwined circles, a pair of cold eyes, and a face with scattered lines.
Just glancing at it, Audrey tensed up and quickly used spirituality and the friction of matter to set the paper on fire, burning it to ashes.
What she had doodled reflected her inner true emotions and thoughts! And for a qualified "psychologist", interpreting such drawings was basic, so Audrey didn't leave any traces.
After a while, Klein finished delivering gifts, chatted with several directors, then entered the room set aside for part-time directors to rest, fetched paper and pen, sat on the sofa, and started thinking as he wrote: "Dear Mr. Azik..."
In the Southern Continent, Klein had written a letter about
As for mentioning Adam and "0-08" in the letter, Klein didn't mind at all. After all, that "Angel of Imagination" definitely knew his relationship with Mr. Azik, and sharing certain things with acquaintances wouldn't provoke any strong reaction.
This time, Klein's letter no longer involved the supernatural realm. With a smile and a gentle touch, he shared in detail the charitable education program he had just learned from Audrey and other directors. At the end he wrote: "...This is truly a meaningful matter. I feel satisfied and joyful. Mr. Azik, do you think so too? When you wake up, perhaps you can try doing something similar. Every time you resurrect, you will see children who once received your help. At that time, although you don't remember them, they will certainly still remember you..."
After finishing the letter, he put down his pen, read it again carefully to confirm there were no issues, then blew his copper whistle to summon the bone messenger and take the letter away.
Then, accompanied by his personal valet Enuni, he left the "Loen Charitable Education Fund" and went to the nearby Saint Samuel Cathedral, where he prayed silently in the dark and quiet main prayer hall for a quarter of an hour.
As usual, Klein approached the offertory box and dropped a stack of cash into it, totaling 80 pounds.
Taking this opportunity, he found Bishop Electra and chatted with him for a while, listening to a sermon.
This marked Dwayne Dantès's return to religious social circles.
As for gifts, Klein didn't hand them over in person, because it was in the cathedral of the Goddess, and privately, his butler

During afternoon tea time, Klein left 160 Berkeland Street as planned and went to visit Dr. Allen—
This time, Klein not only met Dr. Alan Crisis, but also his wife Vilma Gledhill, as well as the newborn baby and his older brother and sister.
