Krafft's Notes on Anomalies

For a moment, Yvonne really followed Brimer's words and thought about it.

She knew that Dr. Kraft came to Westminster from Solace Harbor just for the so-called "academic gathering."

The expression "free travel provided with meals and travel expenses" does not prevent us from seeing the value of this matter in practical actions. Even if you don’t understand the specific meaning, it is easy to understand that what can make people put down the work they are focusing on and waste precious time on a monthly journey can only be more important things.

Needless to say, the smooth conduct of this matter must be ensured. The regret is that, with Yvonne still enriching her vocabulary, it is really difficult to understand their world and there is no way to judge it.

This made her feel frustrated again. Her efforts would not be of any use in the short term, unlike real power that could intuitively wield a weapon and achieve immediate results.

It seems that the best way now is to let this person who claims to be able to help take over. There is only one chance. But there was always an inexplicable sense of familiarity that reminded her that there might be something wrong inside.

This is a time-limited multiple-choice question that is obviously inductive. I often encountered a similar situation when my father first fell ill. Claiming that the condition is serious and needs treatment as soon as possible, but people who can cure it or the medicine has expired are not available. In anxiety, it is easy to agree to the conditions proposed.

However, they failed several times, because those who asked for money could not get anything out of their embarrassment, and those who searched for clues from the aphasic people were destined to return in vain. And she was quickly forced to become familiar with this routine.

So is the same thing happening here?

Not really sure. Because the fabric of the clothes of the man in front of him was fine, and the precious metal badge on his chest was similar to the one brought back by Kraft. The gift was beautifully packaged and looked very distinguished.

In the midst of the confusion, her silence may have been regarded as ignorant of the world, and Brimmer also felt that for a child, the previous statement was a bit inconvenient to understand.

"Miss, you must have seen musicals, right? Those performances in the theater. We have to know which scene is being performed before we can arrange the stage. "Holy Marriage" cannot be performed on a small wooden stage." In order to eliminate the gap, he specially chose He gave examples of classic emotional dramas that little girls of his age have generally watched, hoping to open up the topic.

Yvonne blinked. Of course she hadn't seen it, but she understood something. This man claimed that he wanted to help Kraft do something that couldn't be postponed, so he wanted to borrow something that was usually not suitable for borrowing.

"I'm sorry... I can't make a decision." She raised her face and showed her usual lack of fluctuations in her expression.

Rejection, but not really rejection, she observed the reaction of the man in black robe. If the other party showed no nostalgia and turned away, it meant that the possibility of deception would be smaller.

Then she will regret it before Brimmer disappears from sight, and no one will care about her anyway, right?

"Okay." Brimer straightened his back and thrust the gift into the girl's hand condescendingly. "Then we can only postpone Professor Kraft's report. I really hope he can come back soon."

What he wanted to show was regret, but in Yvonne's eyes, this kind of words and deeds were more of a soft threat, which became more obvious because of the unsatisfactory progress.

I have seen enough of them in the past, and this is not the obscure type. And when facing younger people, they will be more inclined to express stronger expressions, especially to little girls, which prevents intentions from being well hidden.

He turned around and left, one step at a time, two steps at a time, and Yvonne speculated that he might be wondering why this girl still didn't hesitate to go back on her word and accept the suggestion.

Life is indeed the best teacher. If you throw someone into the ocean of life, as long as you don't drown, you will learn something with unimaginable efficiency whether you like it or not, and children are quite good at and love to imitate.

"Mr. Brimmer." After Brimmer walked a little further and slowed down unconsciously, she called out to him.

It seemed that he was relieved, thinking that a little trick finally worked.

"Don't worry too much. Mr. Kraft said that if they don't have what they want there, they can return in about a week." Yvonne poked her head out from the crack of the half-open door and counted with her fingers, "That is ,Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?"

"ah?"

She observed Brimer's unnatural emotional changes as she wished, from turning around pretending to be calm, to a moment of stunned utterances, and then regaining his patient communication look. Just as thought.

"That's... great." He said this, putting his hand on his chest, as if patting the air again. There was nothing "good" in his tone.

Brimmer forced out what he thought was a kind smile and quickly adjusted, "I will wait here for two more days, but it is best to let us know Professor Kraft's needs as soon as possible. Time waits for no one."

"I understand." Yvonne nodded, but had no intention of opening the door. She watched him walk out of sight and disappear around the corner going downstairs.

This so-called "professor" seemed not to want Kraft to come back, and was eager to get the manuscript before then, and was very insistent. Yvonne didn't understand or care why, she just needed to know that she had successfully confirmed that this was a routine that was no different from the past.

Now that it's confirmed, just reject it.

This almost makes people feel bored in addition to disgust and rejection. Using people and things they value and creating an unexpected sense of urgency can cause the other party to panic and make mistakes, thus achieving the goal. It seems like it's no different here.

With this thought in mind, she placed the exquisitely packaged box on the table intact and read the brochure for a while. However, she could not calm down after being disturbed, so she decided to take advantage of those troublesome full-body armor patrols at noon. When there are fewer people, go to the workshop to check the progress of the things Kraft requested.

This is business, and you can go and listen to new chat content.

After finding a valid reason, with the potential idea of ​​rewarding myself, I locked the door and went out, following the memorized route to the workshop.

The jeweler is still closed. It is said that he has managed to wrap and weld thin silver sheets to form the prototype of a hollow tube, but it is still far from the required craftsmanship. Other work that does not require too much precision is done by craftsmen and apprentices. Work while continuing endless small talk.

There were also knights and retinues who couldn't stand the midday sun, hiding under the eaves and joining in their conversation.

The lunch dishes and who ate the strange smell; the subcutaneous fat distribution of the new young cook; the noble family with a rich private life who had no heir suffered an inconvenient secret injury due to an early battle; about the possible identity of the partner of a certain knight who everyone is curious about; There are also classic and indispensable rumors of hauntings everywhere.

After discovering Yvonne's existence, the knights deliberately began to control the topic, pretending that they had not talked about something inappropriate to talk about in front of a young lady.

Then they discovered that there was really only so much content that would interest everyone if it didn't involve the waist down at all.

The atmosphere cooled down for a while, and finally someone came up with a great idea, a ghost story.

Similar to watching horror movies, this is a good way to seduce curiosity, show your bravery, and gain favor and reliance.

Cemetery ghosts, headless dead bodies, figures wandering corridors. In their mouths, the castle and the surrounding hills are simply a hell on earth at night, with more ghosts than people trying to scare Yvonne.

But when they finished their emotional narration and looked at the girl, the latter was just fascinated and urged another one with her eyes.

The old rumors have been almost wiped out, and those who are used to doing night patrols have to dig up horror stories from daily experiences, such as hearing noises when passing by an uninhabited storage area.

What is strange is that among the people who were competing to express themselves and undermine each other just now, some people actually echoed this low-quality story that is neither exciting nor scary.

It was a knight who was leaning against the corner. Hearing someone mention this matter, he confirmed its authenticity, saying that when he was patrolling past at night, there was a noise that he thought was an auditory hallucination, coming from the same road section.

As a fortress, Westminster Castle has many areas that are vacant when it is not in a state of war recruitment. It is normal for some small animals to live there. Immediately, some people booed and laughed at them for being frightened by the mice, without even going in to see with their own eyes.

But those who had obtained circumstantial evidence insisted that it was not caused by rats. After several rounds of unsuccessful arguments, they finally announced that they had indeed not searched for the source.

"It's strange, isn't it? Speaking of which, young lady, aren't you afraid?"

"No, not at all. Can you borrow a lamp as usual? It seems to be getting dark. I have to go back quickly."

"Of course, beautiful lady, I am willing to help."
