Chapter 111 Missed

It didn't take long for the lecturer with the higher cheekbones to board the half-height wooden platform in front of the small auditorium and open his voice and say:

"Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, my name is Seviyara Heda. Today, I want to share with you my experience in arranging family expenses. This is divided into three parts. One is families with an annual income of around £100. How to balance the cost of food, housing, clothes and hired servants, and secondly, what should a family with an annual income of £200 increase to make itself look more decent..."

Melissa listened carefully and remembered the combined annual income of her two brothers without thinking.

"It's more than 200 pounds..." she thought half gratified and half terrified.

She was both happy and content with the present life, but also afraid that it would disappear in a blink of an eye.

At this time, Selena with burgundy hair covered her mouth and said to her two friends in a low voice:

"She appears to be a devotee of the Storm Lord, and she wears the Storm Badge."

Melissa looked intently, and sure enough, she saw that Teacher Seviara was wearing a badge depicting strong winds and waves on her left chest.

She quickly explained:

"Mrs. Shawd, who told me this lecture, is a believer of the Lord of the Storm. I don't think the teacher is surprised either."

"Well, I don't feel there is any problem, we are here to hear about the specific billing plan." Elizabeth comforted Melissa.

"But, except for Melissa, we don't need and are not qualified to make family spending plans." Selena with burgundy hair muttered.

Elizabeth retorted without hesitation:

"But we will get married eventually, and we will have our own family after all."

After the "mirror divination" incident, Selena had always been a little afraid of Elizabeth, so she nodded embarrassingly and pretended to be listening carefully.

The lecturer Seviara raised her right hand and said:

"The premise of all this spending plan is that we have to respect the opinion of the male host, they are the source of income, the backbone of the family, and they win everything for us in the face of anxiety, stress, trouble and confusion in a turbid society, so , we must create a peaceful environment that is not disturbed by external affairs, so that they can relax after returning home, baptize their minds, and cope with various challenges in a better state..."

"That's why the famous philosopher, sociologist, humanist, and economist, Mr. Lourmy, once said that women are the angels of the family."

Selena held her cheeks, outlined the dimples, and asked in a slightly excited whisper:

"Lurmy, is that the gentleman who said 'life comes from freedom'?"

"Yes, but he is a follower of the Lord of Storms." Elizabeth replied hesitantly.

At this moment, the lecture teacher Seviara continued:

"Mr. Luermi also told us that women are inherently flawed in wisdom and logic. In this case, we, who have no ability to judge, should accept the words of fathers and husbands as religious beliefs..." (Note 1)

This description made Melissa, Selena, and Elizabeth look at me, I look at you, and they were speechless for a long time.

"Let's go?" Finally, Selena suggested tentatively.

Melissa and Elizabeth nodded vigorously at the same time:

"OK!"

They put on their gauze hats, bent their backs, and slipped towards the side door, trying to get out of here without attracting anyone's attention.

When they carefully arrived outside and stood up straight, they suddenly heard a burst of warm applause in the small auditorium.

Melissa turned her head subconsciously, looked through the door, and looked inside.

She saw Mrs. Short clapping, and saw a lady clapping.

Phew, praise the goddess... Melissa let out a sigh and walked away from this uncomfortable place with Selena and Elizabeth.

"Let's go to Harrods department store?" Standing under the tree on the sidewalk,

Selena forgot what happened just now and happily suggested.

Melissa was silent for a few seconds and said:

"I want to go back to study."

"Learning..." Selena stroked her burgundy hair dully, as if returning to her normal life.

"And I have to buy bread, beef, potatoes, fruit... Klein has to work today, Benson went to the municipal library, um, I have to go back!" Melissa suddenly felt like that. I love textbooks, I love clockwork, I love gears.

Selena decided to keep a distance from Melissa, who was in an abnormal state today, looked sideways at Elizabeth, and said with a smile:

"Let's go to the Harrods department store together? Although I have already spent all my private money, it is wonderful to have a stroll around and take a look."

"Well." Elizabeth agreed to her friend's proposal and asked casually, "Melissa, does your brother Klein also work on Sunday?"

"Yes, he rests on Monday, which is different from ordinary work." Melissa raised her head unconsciously.

…………

After leaving the Blackthorn Security Company, Klein took the public carriage to the Howles block.

He tried hard to stop his thoughts, stopped thinking about the treasure of the Antigonus family, and returned his attention to the matter of "acting":

It is very important to digest the potion as soon as possible and improve yourself as soon as possible!

"Playing the role of a fortune-teller, heh, I'm still not professional enough. A fortune-teller in a food-loving country has to turn over the almanac..." Klein held a cane and sat in the seat inside the carriage.

He decided to do a divination in advance to see if today would be good for traveling and going to the divination club.

This is a qualified fortune teller!

Taking advantage of the opportunity to get out of the car, Klein took out a half-penny copper coin, his eyes were introverted, his eyes quickly turned deep, and he said silently:

"Today is a good day to go to the divination club."

"Today is a good day to go to the divination club."

...

when!

Klein popped the coin up, instead of watching it roll, he stretched out his palm.

pat! The half-penny copper coin fell and landed firmly in his palm.

This time, the "1/2" number surrounded by wheat ears is facing up.

"The number is up, which means that there will be bad things in the divination club today..." Klein thought for a while, then turned and walked across the street, waiting for the public carriage heading for Daffodil Street.

He felt more and more like a magician.

…………

Halls Street, in front of Harrods department store.

Selena was about to enter when she was stunned for a moment, then turned her head to look to the side.

"What happened?" Elizabeth asked suspiciously.

Selena puffed her cheeks and said:

"Elizabeth, I think of my occult teacher, Mr. Vincent, who passed away like this, the morning after my birthday..."

"Is it because I peeked and used his secret spell? It made me feel guilty and uneasy all the time... And, I've been unlucky all this time."

"So?" Elizabeth asked tacitly.

Selena bit her lip and said:

"I want to go to the divination club next to me to do a divination to see if Mr. Vancent's matter is really related to me."

Look at what happened on the birthday dinner...I always feel that Elizabeth is hiding something from me...I remember the back of a man in a tuxedo...

"Don't you know divination yourself?" Elizabeth asked in surprise.

Selena deliberately imitated her father's sigh and said:

"Hey, my current state is not suitable for divination for myself."

"Okay, then let's go to the divination club next door." Elizabeth agreed with her friend's suggestion.

They came to the side and entered the divination club on the second floor along the stairs.

"Hello, good afternoon, Miss Angelica, it's nice to see you again." Selena greeted lively in the reception hall.

Angelica smiled and said:

"As long as you come after lunch, you should be able to meet me."

Selena exchanged a few words with the other party, mourned Haines Vancent, and then said:

"I need divination."

"You know the rules of the club, this is an album of members willing to fortune-telling... Today is the weekend, and many people are there." Angelica went through the process familiarly.

Selena and Elizabeth's heads came together, and they quickly flipped through the directory and the corresponding introduction.

"I used to find my teacher directly every time. I didn't expect that compared with last year, there are so many more members in the club who are willing to help people with divination." Selena said with interest.

Suddenly, she paused for a few seconds and whispered doubtfully:

"Klein Moretti, Klein Moretti? This is the same name as Brother Melissa?"

Elizabeth was stunned, read the words "Klein Moretti" several times, and nodded thoughtfully:

"yes……"

"Ms. Angelica, is this Mr. Klein Moretti there?" Selena asked with bright eyes.

Angelica shook her head:

"I'm sorry, Mr. Klein Moretti didn't come to the club today."

"Okay, another one." Selena didn't have to know each other, she just snickered and said to her friend, "I know this won't be Melissa's brother, but when I see this name, I will naturally Come up with a headline, something like The Intis Post."

The "Intis Post" was founded by the Great Emperor Roselle, and was famous for its sensational headlines. It was one of the most well-known newspapers in the Northern Continent.

Elizabeth asked less intently:

"What title?"

Selena cleared her throat and said:

"Is it a moral corruption or a social problem, the history students have been reduced to helping people with divination to support their lives on weekends!"
