Klein and Hazel were dancing to a gentle and soothing melody. One of them had an upright figure, while the other was slender and tall. Apart from the fact that their age difference was a bit large, their movements, rhythm, temperament and appearance were very well matched, and they were extremely beautiful, almost enough to be used as a teaching demonstration.

Klein took the initiative to break the silence and said casually while turning around:

"I had nightmares a while ago, but luckily the goddess blessed me. After praying in the church a few times and drinking a few glasses of holy water, I no longer woke up in the middle of the night."

Hazel raised her eyes silently, and after two seconds she said:

"What kind of nightmare?"

I'm actually interested in this topic... What Will Auceptin said is absolutely correct... Klein responded with a smile:

“In an abandoned and dilapidated church, and then being chased by various monsters.

"But you should also be aware of things in dreams. I can never remember the details. It's hard for me to describe what those monsters look like."

Hazel didn't say anything, but her bright dark brown eyes were full of disapproval.

In other words, she believes that things in dreams are not necessarily unrememberable.

Klein embraced her and took a step sideways, smiling and saying:

“Indeed, I have had very clear dreams before.

"At that time, I was still in the southern continent. I dreamed of an inverted mausoleum. It was made of huge black rocks and extended underground. There were zombies covered with white feathers coming out and trying to capture me.

“I had similar dreams for several days in a row. It’s a bit embarrassing to talk about it. I was very scared at the time, so I hurried to a nearby city and found a fortune-teller club. I asked them to help me interpret the dream. The conclusion I came to was that I might have offended a tribe’s belief in the god of death when I was purchasing specialty products.

"Strangely enough, after I went to the tribe to apologize, presented gifts, and participated in one of their celebrations, I never had that dream again."

The above content was all fabricated by him from the perspective of a fortune teller. His purpose was to arouse Hazel's interest and see if she would reveal something unconsciously. At the same time, this was also an implicit suggestion that would not arouse suspicion. The hidden meaning was that if Hazel was troubled by dreams, it would be best to find a member of the fortune teller club or a church pastor to interpret the dreams. Don't blindly believe the content of the dream and try it rashly on your own.

——When Will Auceptin mentioned that there was something wrong with Hazel and that he could talk to her about dreams, Klein suspected that the contradictions she showed might be due to continuous dreams. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain why she had at least the strength of Sequence 8, but had a serious lack of common sense about the mysterious world and was blindly arrogant. Moreover, she was an upper-class lady who received family education, so it should be difficult for her to come into contact with wild Beyonders with unknown purposes. After all, her father was a member of the House of Commons who would definitely be protected, and there should be no shortage of Beyonders around him.

Therefore, Klein believed that Hazel might have come into contact with something, or because of her personality, she was noticed by a powerful person, who guided her step by step to become a Beyonder through dreams, without giving her the necessary common sense. At the same time, she was lured to dig in the sewer to look for something.

There are two factors that make him more certain about this guess. One is Will Auceptin's words, and the other is that Sequence 5 of the "Thief" pathway is called "Dream Stealer", which does not and cannot have only one extraordinary ability, stealing thoughts!

Hazel listened to Dwayne Dantès's story quietly. She opened her mouth subconsciously, then closed it again. After nearly ten seconds, she said:

"Why didn't you go to the goddess's church then?"

As expected, he responded to the topic of dreams, but he was still cautious and didn’t reveal anything... Klein smiled bitterly and said:

"There is no church of the goddess nearby. It belongs to the area that believes in the god of steam and machinery."

Hazel didn't continue the topic and turned her attention back to the dance itself, seeming to be immersed in the music.

Klein also calmed down, and immersed himself in the beautiful melody with the girl.

After the dance, he sent Hazel back to her original position, then went to the long table area because he was thirsty and prepared to get a glass of sweet iced tea.

At this time, he saw Bishop Elektra enjoying red wine there.

——Unlike the Church of Storms and the Church of the God of War, the clergy of the Goddess of Night cannot drink excessively and must refuse distilled liquor. They can drink small amounts of champagne, beer, and red and white wine.

"How is it? This should be your first time to hold such a grand ball?" Bishop Elektra raised her glass with a smile.

Klein responded with a smile:

"It's troublesome, but also, um, fun. The biggest problem is that dancing so many times in a row always makes people tired, sweating all the time, and wanting to drink water."

Bishop Elektra laughed and said:

"Now that you're in Backlund, don't cut back on your physical exercise. Sometimes, social situations are more tiring than you think."

At this point, he revealed a teasing expression and said:

"Ms. Olori praised you highly and thought that your inner self was able to match your appearance."

...Thank you for your affirmation... Klein couldn't find any other words to respond, so he could only respond jokingly:

"A person's inner self cannot be revealed through a dance."

Without waiting for Bishop Elektra to smile like any man would, he said:

"Bishop, I recently got involved in a business deal that might offend a powerful gentleman, and I'm a little worried."

He was referring to the affairs of Coim Company and Baron Sinderas.

Bishop Elektra took a sip of the wine and said:

"Don't worry, Backlund is a place that abides by the law. Besides, the goddess will protect you."

“Then I feel relieved. Praise the goddess!” Klein carefully drew a crimson moon on his chest.

By the time Bishop Elektra headed for the dance floor, his eyes gradually darkened and he sighed silently.

He was not afraid or hating anything, but he felt a little guilty. At least until now, the Church of Evernight had been quite good to him. Although it was due to money, they did provide a lot of help and were even willing to provide certain protection. However, he was planning how to deal with the internal guards and how to steal items from the sealed core behind the Chanis Gate.

Sigh, if this plan takes a long time to complete, then I really need to get regular psychological treatment, otherwise I’ll have mental problems... Klein examined his emotions and shook his head slightly.

…………

Inside a house in Cherwood District.

Xio placed the Feynaporte pie and Dessi Bay sweet iced tea on the dining table and said to Fors:

"Don't eat this kind of food often. It's not very healthy."

"Why do you say that?" Fors took a piece of pie studded with fruit and ham and took a bite.

"I saw it in a magazine. As a bounty hunter, keeping in shape is essential." Xio hesitated for a moment, but still grabbed a piece of pie and brought it to his mouth.

Fors sneered and said:

"You are a combat-oriented Extraordinary, not an ordinary bounty hunter, so you don't have to work too hard to stay in shape.

"Perhaps, you missed the last chance to grow taller because of this. Oh yes, I heard that the 'Warrior' path can effectively make people taller. Just look at those barbarians in Feysac and you will know."

Xiu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly sighed:

"But I was born half an 'arbitrator' and cannot be a 'warrior'."

Obviously, she had given it serious thought.

Seeing that this had brought back memories of her good friend, Fors pretended not to have said anything and concentrated on enjoying her late dinner.

After eating and drinking and cleaning up, she pulled Xio into her bedroom and cleared her throat.

"You've helped me a lot lately, so I decided to give you a gift."

"What troublesome things do you need me to do?" Xio touched her short golden hair vigilantly.

"..." Fors blinked, and suddenly began to reflect on her usual state.

She laughed dryly and said:

"This is for before, before."

Without waiting for Xio's response, she took out a square iron box, the kind originally used to hold cigarettes, in front of Xio's suspicious gaze.

"I don't smoke." Xio simply shook his head.

Fors hummed, and opened the iron box, revealing the light blue translucent hexagonal prism inside.

Xio's eyes froze instantly. Looking at the light flashing through the crystal like lightning, he asked instinctively:

"Interrogator?"

"Yes, I met a participant at a Beyonder gathering who was selling it at a low price. I was afraid of missing out on the opportunity, so I quickly bought it." Fors spoke the truth without a trace of falsehood. "You also know that I received a reward from my teacher for something a while ago, so I don't need the money."

Xio knew that her friend had been going out a lot recently, claiming that she was working for her teacher, but she still couldn't believe that she could so easily buy an "Interrogator" extraordinary characteristic as a gift for herself. This really transcended their original living conditions by too many levels!

Was she still gambling, and after becoming an "astrologer", she started to win a lot of money? Or, did she finally set her sights on the bank's vault and steal the money inside by relying on her ability to "open the door"? Many speculations flashed through Xio's mind in an instant, but she couldn't find the corresponding evidence.

After two or three seconds, she made a decision. She would randomly choose two days a week to pretend to go out and secretly observe what Fors was doing.

If she didn't trust her friend's character and bottom line, she would even suspect that she had become the mistress of some powerful or wealthy person.

"It, it's too valuable." Xio waved his hands, trying to refuse the gift.

Fors had already thought of an excuse, and said with a smile:

"Anyway, I'll have a lot of things to trouble you with in the future, so just consider it as an advance payment."

"We are good friends, there is no need to talk about compensation." Xio hesitated for a second and shook his head.

I was waiting for you to say this! Fors immediately smiled and said:

"Then consider it as an early birthday present for you. Don't refuse!"

"But my birthday is still half a year away..." Xio muttered as he finally reached out and took the extraordinary characteristic of "Interrogator".

…………

On Sunday morning, Xio suppressed his excitement and anticipation, and went out as usual, preparing to leave a corresponding secret mark at a specific place, and to meet the masked man from MI9 in a remote alley at night.

With the extraordinary characteristic of "Interrogator", she had already digested the "Sheriff" potion. She only needed to obtain the correct formula to be promoted to Sequence 7, taking a solid step towards investigating the truth of that year and restoring the glory of her family. Therefore, she couldn't wait to take on more military missions and accumulate enough merits as soon as possible.

After finishing this, she planned to go to a few places in the East District to see if there was any important news, and then go home to follow Fors to find out what her friend was doing recently and whether she was in danger.

However, as soon as she entered the East District, she felt as if someone was watching her.
