Chapter 460: The Little Rich Man and the Rich Woman

Were those people just now followers of the Yellow King?

In such weather, they held oil lamps and walked slowly forward. Did they want to hold a ceremony?

Should we secretly report the situation here to the Church of the Goddess of Night?

Klein began to think about this matter in his heart, his face solemn, and his fingers gently tapped the seat.

This was not the first time he had encountered followers of the so-called Yellow King. In the sea, in addition to the suspected encounter with the real Yellow King, he had also come into contact with other people who liked to dress up in yellow clothes and walk on the streets late at night.

Apart from being a little weird, they did not find that they were doing anything evil. They seemed to be chasing something with a purpose.

Was it just to chase the back of the Yellow King?

Or was there some other unknown purpose?

After thinking for a long time, Klein gave up the idea of ​​reporting to the Church of the Goddess of Night. He just passed by them and could not be sure that the other party was holding any evil ceremony.

Perhaps they were just simply making a pilgrimage along this road.

And reporting would be dangerous to expose his identity.

After Klein put away his thoughts, he heard someone talking next to him.

The gist of it was: believers who like to wear yellow clothes also appeared in their hometown. They usually like to appear on the streets, in bars, and in any possible places late at night.

Another person continued, "Recently, a yellow-clothed figure has appeared in many places. That person likes to appear late at night. Sometimes he will fulfill people's wishes, sometimes he will play pranks, and sometimes he will violently destroy everything around him."

But such discussions did not continue to go deeper. Most of the news they heard from others.

Klein closed his eyes and squinted for a while.

"Woo woo woo..."

The bells of the steam train rang loudly, and the speed slowed down. Backlund was already in front.

Klein glanced at the window. The sky in Backlund was still the same as before, gray and hazy, like gray pants that could never be washed clean.

Compared with the blue sky of the sea, it was simply two different worlds.

Klein carried a suitcase in one hand and a silver cane with gold edges in the other, and followed the crowd out of the station.

"Ding-ling-ling, ding-ling-ling..."

The pleasant sound on the street attracted Klein's attention.

It was a machine with only two wheels, speeding along the edge of the road. Its overall frame was black, with some places showing the gray and white of steel. Under the dim street lights that penetrated the rain, it flashed the beauty of metal.

Klein was quite moved when he saw that the bicycle he had invested in and promoted had been successfully popularized in a short period of time.

In this way, the shares he had invested in bicycles before could be sold at a good price.

From the future prospects of bicycles, anyone with vision could see its value and it might be sold at a high price.

"It often rains in Backlund, and you can't use an umbrella when riding a bicycle. It seems that I can invest in raincoats next."

"If I can't find a suitable factory in Backlund, I can also invest a sum of money and open a raincoat factory, which can make another sum of money."

"It's easier to make money by investing!"

While thinking, Klein stopped a carriage and headed to the more prosperous and wealthy Hillston District.

The first thing he did when he returned to Backlund was to go to the bank and pay back the 1,000 gold pounds he owed Mr. Hastur to avoid embarrassment when they met in the future.

He always felt that he would meet Hastur again when he lived in Backlund in the future. He couldn't owe Hastur a rich man 1,000 gold pounds, right?

After entering the bank and depositing 1,000 gold pounds into Hastur's account, Klein took out some cash from his own anonymous account to maintain his life in Backlund.

Since he separated from Hastur and the others at the port last time, he has hunted five well-known pirates one after another, earning a total of more than 10,000 gold pounds in bounties. In addition to selling related extraordinary items and extraordinary characteristics, he has made a lot of money.

Now, his total wealth is about to reach the 30,000 gold pound mark.

This is his richest time.

Although he can't compare with Miss Justice, it shouldn't be difficult to be a small rich man. After all, 30,000 gold pounds should not be a small amount for Miss Justice.

After saving money with great effort, it is finally worth a fraction of others. It's not easy.

When night fell, in order to maintain his image as a rich man, Klein chose to stay in a high-end hotel. Just one night, it cost him 10 soles!

It was really heartbreaking for him.

It was not so easy for him to make money!

The next day, Klein began to read the house rental information in the newspaper.

It was really painful to maintain the hotel fee of 10 soles per night.

In order to be close to the St. Samuel Church of the Church of the Goddess of Night, he could only set the target of renting a house in the North District.

"I hope my wallet is enough for this period of time."

...

In a high-end restaurant, Audrey was booking a small courtyard to entertain Hugh and Fors to enjoy afternoon tea quietly.

When Audrey returned to Backlund, Hugh and Fors also came back with her.

"Miss Audrey, you look very happy? Did Mr. Hasta write to you again?"

Since becoming familiar with Audrey, Hugh's tone has become more casual, and he often teases Audrey with Fors.

"Can't I have other happy things?" Audrey pretended to be embarrassed and glanced at them.

"But no matter how happy other things are, they can't make you happier than Mr. Hasta's letter." Fors also joked with Hugh.

"You guys." Audrey just smiled helplessly, but didn't say anything.

She was in a good mood this time not because of Mr. Hasta's letter, but because her father, Earl Hall, gave her a large sum of property.

The total value of bank shares plus manor real estate is about 200,000 pounds.

Even among the nobles, this is a considerable amount of property.

According to Earl Hall's meaning, he wanted to give her more family property before she got married, so that if she went out independently, her future life could be effectively guaranteed.

The deeper meaning is that after she got married, she couldn't give her the family property at will, otherwise her eldest and second brothers would complain.

Therefore, it's better to prepare the dowry as early as possible.

Although she felt that it was too early to consider this matter now.

From dating to marriage, there must be an adaptation period of two or three years, right?

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Audrey and the other two came out of the restaurant. Seeing that there was still some time, the three of them, plus Susie, started shopping along the street.

Audrey was in a good mood and generously wanted to buy jewelry for Xio and Fors.

Xio and Fors didn't want to accept such a gift without reason, but just now, just after having afternoon tea, Miss Audrey easily paid the bill of 20 gold pounds.

Faced with such a rich and inhumane behavior, the two of them really couldn't find a reason to refuse.

Well, they had to admit that their knees were a little weak and they needed to hold the thighs of the rich woman to move forward.

While the three people and the dog were happily shopping in a high-end jewelry store, there were bursts of hurried newspaper selling sounds on the street.

"The Losec Battle has changed, and the battle line has been pushed back by the Feysac Empire!"

"The Losec Battle has changed, and the battle line has been pushed back by the Feysac Empire!"

The Losec Battle was the first large-scale battle launched by the Kingdom of Loen since the beginning of this spring.

After a winter of recuperation, everyone in Loen Kingdom, from the young king to the beggars starving on the street, believed that the army of Loen Kingdom would capture the capital of Feysac Empire with overwhelming force!

But now, the Losek battle was lost!

And the battle line was pushed back by Feysac Empire!

It was like a dying old guy suddenly regained his strength and knocked down a young strong man.

After Audrey and others came out after buying jewelry, Xio bought two newspapers, one for Audrey and the other for her to read with Fors.

After reading the newspaper, Audrey's face became solemn. This was not just a defeat, but a disastrous defeat.

It was the battle with the greatest loss since Loen Kingdom attacked Feysac Empire.

The newspaper described the army of Feysac Empire like this: They were protected by gods, and they launched fierce attacks on our positions again and again without fear of death. Even if our cannons blew their bodies to pieces, as long as they still held sharp knives in their hands, they still dared to swing their knives at us!

As if they were helped by gods?

Audrey seemed to have grasped something, but the newspaper did not record the details of this aspect.

The specific content should only be known by the senior officials of the Kingdom of Loen and the church.

"Let's go back."

Audrey did not want to continue shopping, and Xio and Fors also saw the seriousness of the problem.

"I will also try my best to investigate this matter." Xio said, and left with Fors.

"Susie, let's go back too."

"Woof!"

Susie naturally walked in front to clear the way for Audrey.

When she returned home, Earl Hall had not returned yet. He must have gone to discuss important matters.

Since the death of the previous king, Govington II, Earl Hall, who was unwelcome and suppressed everywhere, has once again become active in the political arena.

Because the new king is still young, Earl Hall and the prime minister have the greatest power except for the members of the Loen royal family.

The Loen royal family even revealed that they wanted to give Earl Hall a position as the chief minister of the kingdom, but Earl Hall refused.

Audrey did not wait for Earl Hall, but waited for Countess Hall first.

"Beautiful Countess, didn't you go out to enjoy the beautiful afternoon today?"

Audrey greeted her with a smile, took her arm, and acted coquettishly.

"My Audrey has grown up. Come, let me take a closer look."

The Countess looked at Audrey lovingly, and after a while she said, "When will Mr. Hasta come to have dinner again?"
