Chapter 35: Alternative Penpals
Monday, August 29, 1352.
King's College Backlund Technical University.
Melissa pushed open the door to the office earlier than ever.
In the soft early morning sunlight, Melissa took the prepared cake out of the suitcase and meticulously divided four nearly equal pieces.
Then, she took out several carefully sealed envelopes from her briefcase, carefully checked the number and order, and counted them carefully.
Then, she neatly packed all the letters, along with the gift box, into a huge airtight bag.
After all this was done, Melissa took out her pocket watch and checked the time on it.
The hour hand pointed to seven in the morning. Melissa could feel that something seemed to vibrate quietly in the air, and the room that was originally full of sunlight became a little cold in an instant.
I don't know where there is some wind, so that the curtains in the room have no wind and automatically, and the sunlight falling in the studio is obviously dimmed.
But Melissa showed a happy expression.
She turned on her vision, lifted the hem of her skirt, and bowed to the messenger who appeared in her office every Monday.
"You're still so punctual, it's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Courier."
The spirit creature that suddenly appeared in the office in front of her didn't make Melissa look terrified.
Although, anyone else would be scared to see her.
The visitor was wearing a long black dress that was complicated and gorgeous and dark and gloomy. She has no head, but there is a neat incision at the neck, and her drooping hands are holding four heads with blond hair and red faces. Also, these heads are exactly the same.
The four heads held by the woman blinked together. One of the heads was biting a huge sealed bag, and the other was biting a ribbon wrapped around a gift.
The remaining two heads, when they saw Melissa, showed a cold smile that looked very soft.
The headless woman in a gloomy and complicated black dress put the gift and the sealed bag on the table, and opened her mouth in turn with the four hanging heads in ancient Feysac.
"Thank you..." "Gift..." "Egg..." "Cake..."
"Last time..." "Lemon pudding..." "Taste..." "Very good..."
"This time..." "I need to help you..." "Give the letter..." "Send..."
"That one ran to..." "Segal's..." "Traveler boy..." "Right..."
"It turns out that he is in Segal now." Melissa Moretti chuckled, "Thank you for letting me know, Miss Courier."
"I heard that the fall leaves in Segal are very beautiful."
While speaking, Melissa handed the sorted package to one of the woman's heads with both hands.
"This time the document is more important, so I need to trouble you to bring my letter to Yingna." Melissa said politely.
"Besides, I brought some lemon cakes today, handmade by Ruth. The cakes have been cut into an average of four. You can take them home and enjoy them."
The skirt of the headless woman moved slightly, and the four heads were still talking in sequence:
"No thanks..." "I'll transfer it to..." "Ingena..." "Don't worry..."
After the woman finished speaking, she lifted the two heads held in her left hand. One head opened its mouth and bit the envelope that Melissa handed out, the other head held the box containing the gift, and the other head held the envelope. It was holding the basket with the cake.
The only remaining head nodded gently to Melissa.
"goodbye……"
Then, the lady disappeared into the room as if she had come.
If it weren't for Melissa's hand, there was a large envelope and a gift box. I'm afraid this room doesn't look any different from other times.
This was Melissa Moretti's daily routine on Mondays starting July 19, 1352.
At first, in mid-June 1352, she only received letters and souvenirs from Ingna Abraham more frequently than ever. The frequency is not once a month as they previously agreed, but almost once a week!
Melissa didn't know why Yingner suddenly had such a change.
However, this is undoubtedly excellent.
In the letter from Ingena, Melissa knew that although they hadn't seen each other for less than two months, Ingena Abraham, who only digested the astrological potion when they left, is now on a Sequence 5 trip. home!
At the time of the last letter, he had just taken the recorder's potion, had just accepted the assignment to the City of Silver, and had just started a field trip with the witcher.
In the next letter, before the one-month appointment, he was promoted! Moreover, he also went to the five seas to participate in the pirate conference, and boarded the reception room of the famous Lieutenant General Iceberg above the sea to discuss issues related to sociology.
In fact, after Yingner left Backlund, Melissa tried to understand what happened in the Eastern District at that time.
However, both the captain of the Blackthorn Security Company and Joshua from the West Velas Field said they knew nothing about the truth of the incident.
Whether what they said was true or not, Melissa made her own judgment.
She passed the ritual magic
Fa prays and asks Mister Fool, the Goddess of the Night, the God of Steam and Machinery. Only Mr. Fool replied to her more clearly.
"Ingena Abraham smashed the plot of the evil gods."
"In order to protect the people he values, he chose to leave and improve his abilities."
And Mr. Fool's reply made Melissa more firm in her previous judgment.
Therefore, after that incident, she began to pray frequently.
If there is any new progress in the research, in addition to praying to the God of Steam and Machinery and the Goddess of Evernight, Melissa will also inform Mister Fool of the latest research progress.
And in the prayer stressed that the funding for the research came from the investment of Ingena Abraham. I also thank him for his protection, so that the research can be carried out smoothly.
I hope Mr. Fool can bless him and make him safe and smooth on the way to improve himself.
Then, just three weeks after she started praying frequently, Melissa received a second letter from Ingner. A letter that has not yet reached a month's appointment!
In the letter, Yingner not only talked about his current situation, but also sent some gifts from the sea.
Melissa could see that Ingena Abraham's letters, the subject and focus of his travels, as well as some things he thought were novel and perhaps helpful for research, had only a few words about personal preferences and circumstances. .
It was very restrained, almost the equivalent of a letter of report.
But such a change has made Melissa happy enough.
She originally thought that Ingena Abraham, like her brother, would disappear from her life almost forever like... Klein.
Then Ingena's letters went from monthly to weekly.
Every Monday at seven o'clock in the morning of Backlund time, the messenger belonging to Yingner would deliver his letter to Melissa's exclusive mailbox at King's College, Backlund University of Technology.
At first, Melissa could not find the opportunity and method to reply.
Until a certain Monday, by her mailbox, she waited from morning to night, and from midnight to dawn. After waiting all day and night, I finally waited for the "comer" to appear.
However, it wasn't "Traveler" Ingena, but a bright-looking lady with four heads, wearing a complicated, gorgeous and gloomy black long dress.
After Melissa stopped her and asked politely if she could be entrusted to forward the reply to Ingena on her behalf, the beautiful and bright-looking messenger immediately gave her a reply.
She was able to send her letters back, but it only required a flawless fine gem each time.
Melissa, who had only prepared the letter, was stunned.
A...flawless...fine...gem...
A...flawless...fine...gem...
She never thought that it would cost so much for Yingner to send a letter!
If she remembered correctly, the market price of a flawless high-quality gemstone was more than 5 gold pounds, or even more.
However, even so, Melissa still made an appointment with Miss Messenger.
Next time, she'll have gems ready.
In addition, Melissa invited the messenger to send the letter directly to her studiowww.readwn.com So, after that, Melissa could see Yingner in her office every Monday at 7:00am 's messenger.
But the courier did not charge the "mailing fee" that she finally bought.
When Melissa asked about this, Miss Messenger was also candid.
"Ingena..." "Abraham..." "Already..." "Delivered..."
That's a flawless gem...
One should cost at least 5 gold pounds...
However, Miss Courier insisted that no fee be charged, and Melissa had nothing to do about it.
Therefore, she can only choose to let Miss Messenger transmit it on her behalf when there is something that must be shared with Yingna immediately.
Otherwise, Melissa will record her feelings, her thoughts, and what she has encountered recently, package it in a bag, and send it to Aalto's address left to her by Ingena.
He once said in a letter that it was the home he would occasionally go back to.
