1279 Sense of Urgency (2/2)
Klein controlled The World and made him look around.
”You can think about what you plan to do next and how you would go about doing it.”
Xio, Fors, and the other Tarot Club members nodded slightly as acknowledgment.
Another ten minutes of free exchange followed before this session of the Tarot Gathering gradually came to an end.
…
After returning to the real world, Xio surveyed her bedroom. Her expression slowly turned solemn.
She once again felt a pressing sense of urgency.
After walking out of the room, Xio saw that Fors had also walked out to the corridor at the same time. She no longer suffered from momentary paralysis before coming out.
”Where do you plan on going?” Both of them asked in unison before falling silent.
A few seconds later, a handsome young man walked out of the guest room. He wore a pair of narrow-framed spectacles and had slightly fluffy hair. He held a few thick books in both hands.
”Oh no, I forgot that I have classes this afternoon!” The youth mumbled to himself as he rushed towards the staircase, completely ignoring the presence of the two ladies.
He was Xio's younger brother, Rio Derecha. He had just entered a pre-law school.
In Backlund, one had to pass a pre-law examination before becoming a paralegal. Such a paralegal had to study and work for at least five years under a full lawyer before one was allowed to take part in the qualification examination and get a license to practice law.
If one wanted to become a senior lawyer, one had to enter the Backlund Lawyer School to receive university-level education.
Xio watched her little brother run down the stairs, and a smile subconsciously appeared on her face.
She immediately looked up and said to Fors, ”I plan to return to MI9 and work hard.”
”I plan on making a trip to Teacher's place,” Fors answered the question.
Right on the heels of that, the Traveler's figure quickly turned transparent and vanished.
A few seconds later, Fors appeared at a relatively intact building in the rebuilding Pritz Harbor.
Then, she took out a pen and paper from her pocket and wrote a note. She planned on telling her teacher that she had finished digesting the Traveler potion.
Putting away the fountain pen, she stuffed the paper into the mailbox at the door.
This wasn't Dorian Gray Abraham's residence. It was the place where Fors and the gentleman had previously agreed to send letters to.
The next day, when Fors arrived, she saw Dorian providing her with the meeting location and time.
…
Emlyn opened his eyes in his room and changed into his coat with a standing collar, intending to visit Marquis Nibbs.
When the carriage passed Rose Street, he subconsciously looked out the window and was somewhat surprised to discover that the door to the Harvest Church had opened.
After a brief hesitation, he got the carriage driver to stop the carriage, and he paid for the ride.
After putting on his top hat and holding his cane, the red-eyed Sanguine Earl walked up the steps and entered the Harvest Church. He saw Father Utravsky, who seemed to have grown a little taller, cleaning the prayer hall with his back hunched.
He has been released as expected… It really was protective custody… Emlyn shook his head inwardly.
At this moment, Father Utravsky raised his head and looked at him.
”Wipe the candle stand.”
…I'm trying to please Mother Goddess, Emlyn mumbled. He walked to the room behind him, changed into the brown priest robe of the Church of Earth Mother, and began working.
Neither of them spoke a word. They did their own jobs and tried their best to restore the Harvest Church to its former cleanliness and tranquility.
After an unknown period of time, a group of people suddenly entered the door.
Emlyn subconsciously looked over and saw Baron Cosmi Odora. He saw Viscount Ernes Boyar, who had once ”worked” at the Harvest Church, and many familiar faces.
Emlyn's lips subconsciously curled up.
