musicians of old

Chapter 37
"Any questions?"

Looking at the serious little girl in front of him, Fan Ning couldn't help but smile: "Xiran, tell me."

"Have you become someone with knowledge...that is, someone like my sister's piano teacher?"

"Yes." Fanning told the truth.

Then he smiled again: "I'll take you to school."

"I want to be with you." Hiran raised her bright and clean chin.

"It was agreed recently." Fan Ning responded, "After evening class, I will pick you up at the door. You need to explain to the teacher that you will not be on campus recently, and they are always tolerant of outstanding students."

"No, I mean, I want to go to my sister's teacher too, and I want to become a knowledgeable person like you." Sheeran snorted and took a step forward, "Caron, are you pretending to be stupid on purpose? what."

"Xiran, I personally don't recommend it." Fanning took a step back, "Because it's different from what you think, you must think that with the ability to call invisible power, you can fight against danger, but in fact it is a mysterious In a dangerous and chaotic field, sometimes until you die, you can’t even understand what the danger is, and the proportion of people with knowledge who have an unfortunate ending is much higher than the general population.”

Xilan's eyes rolled darkly: "Caroun, you are not right. Most of the ordinary people have not encountered mysterious incidents. The base number is too large, so the probability of encountering an unfortunate ending is low, but we have already encountered it. It’s the part with a small base.”

Girl, you are right
Fanning was momentarily at a loss for words.

Xilan continued to be serious: "Although curiosity killed the cat, but I think that if you have unfortunately come into contact with mystery, it is better to cover your eyes and actively seek knowledge. No matter how chaotic and unknowable the field is, you must at least hold your destiny in your own hands." .”

She took another step forward: "It's true that I was scared last night, but I really want to help you. Although I don't understand many situations, I know that we have been in danger several times."

Feeling the gentle exhalation like blue, Fan Ning did not back down this time, he began to face this problem squarely.

Indeed, although Sheeran is still young and weak, every time she has her own thoughts and opinions, since she has seriously raised her inner appeal, she must at least take it seriously and answer it.

"Xilan, to tell you the truth, my main concern is that I don't understand many things about people with knowledge, so I can't evaluate the pros and cons of taking you on this road. But I promise you , after I figure out some things, I will have a serious talk with you in the near future, how about it?"

"Then I'll wait." Sheeran finally smiled and blinked, then turned and walked towards the school gate, "See you tonight."

Fanning shook his head and smiled wryly as he watched the little girl's little wine red leather boots step lightly on the ground.

The current situation is still unclear!

The surveillance of the Special Inspection Office is pervasive, and the forces behind the mysterious incident are still unclear. Even Cecil, who I didn't pay attention to before, is now worthy of vigilance.

I need to race against time.

He got into a stagecoach bound for Kedston Street in East Mecklen at once.

The time on the pocket watch pointed to 11 o'clock, and at the corner of No. 43, he once again saw the familiar pomegranate tree potted plants, floor-to-ceiling glass windows, and the office signboard hanging on the second floor that could drive the designer crazy.

Although it's not time for dinner, there is still a tempting and unbearable aroma floating here.

He directly opened the curtain that was the same color as the environment, and walked up the steps on the second floor.

The person on duty at the reception desk today is a very kind-hearted old lady reading a newspaper.

Fan Ning politely explained his intention to her.

The old lady smiled amiably: "Oh, you are the talented young man who is about to be promoted. The president has already left. He asked you to go to the negotiation room last time to try. If you succeed, go to the room at the end of the corridor. Go find the guy who likes to play the guitar."

"He actually left, the president is too hasty. He rushed back to see off Teacher An Dong for the last time. It's only been two or three days." Fan Ning thought to himself.

He thanked him, and after walking a few steps inside, he heard the old lady's addition: "You remember the loss of materials yourself, and then go to the financial register."

Fanning smiled helplessly.

However, that's okay, this way he will save a lot of trouble to cover up for Viadrin.

At the end of the corridor came the melodious, desolate and gloomy classical guitar sound.

He went to the negotiating room where there was no one there, and after searching for a while, he found the four moving signposts and the black vials in the four boxes in the cabinet.

He put the road sign engraved with the Lord of the "Unfalling Fire" witness directly in his pocket.

This must be taken away, otherwise it will not match the fact that I was promoted to a wise person and received the gift of "candle".

Do you want to take another bottle of spiritual liquid first?
He opened them one by one and glanced at them. The least was the "candle" that emitted incandescent to golden yellow light, but there was still 10ml left, which is a conservative estimate of 100 pounds or more!
Coupled with the value of this road sign of about 400 pounds, even if the guidance school has internal discounts.
The reward that Roy will give to his 500-pound string quartet can also go to seventy-seven eighty-eight!
However, the most important thing for me is to need this bottle. He doesn't know the material of this bottle, and he doesn't know where to get it.

Last night, the key to the art museum seemed to be able to release the brilliant psychic fluid from the gush into reality.

He couldn't keep it without a bottle.

take it away!Fan Ning put the vial of spiritual liquid together with the box into the pocket on the other side with pain.

After pretending to paddle in the negotiation room for about twenty minutes, he pushed the door open and walked out.

The corridor smelt of coffee, and from the opposite room came the noise of playing cards, and from two more concealed rooms, typewriters were being clattered.

Some people go to work to catch fish, and some people go to work to dry blood?
Fanning chuckled and shook his head, he finally had a sense of familiarity.

Came to the depths of the corridor, listening to the melancholy sound of classical guitar, Fanning knocked on the door.

"Please come in." A man's voice that was not too old, but full of sorrow and vicissitudes came.

Fan Ning pushed open the door, and saw the man on the chair in front of the desk, about thirty years old, with tight lips, melancholy eyes, blue pupils, wide forehead, straight nose, flowing blond hair, and bearded beard , wearing a white cotton shirt and a black sleeveless vest, the top two buttons of the shirt are undone, revealing a ruby ​​necklace, holding a classical guitar in his hand.

Good guy, this temperament is so unrestrained and elegant, if he was a lead singer or guitarist in his previous life, he would definitely be at the level of a first-line band...

""The Girl of Tia City"?" Fan Ning complained in his heart, but still greeted with a smile.

"Have you heard it?" The guitarist played halfway through before slowly dissipating the reverberation, avoiding the sudden disappearance of the music.

"A short piece by Ton, the classical guitar master of the Southern Continent in the last century, I like its round playing, and the artistic conception of forgetting each other in a corner of the Southern Land at the end." Fan Ning said.

"Your description is wonderful." The blond long-haired man showed surprise in his eyes, "In the north of Tiolein, not many people have heard of it."

"Aren't you from Uvransel? Were you in the southern city of Tiolein before?"

"No, I'm just a wanderer, born in the hometown of Master Ton, that very distant southern country."

The classical guitarist speaks softly and slowly, as if singing a melancholy song.

Fanning nodded slowly.

The United Kingdom of Phaidon in the southern continent is really far away, but I have never left my country.

It really has the temperament of a bard.

The man got up and hung up the guitar: "My name is Du Pont. When the president is away, I will be reluctantly responsible for the daily affairs here."

He moved a stack of materials from the corner to the front of Fan Ning: "The president said that you have already half-stepped into the ranks of those who know, so all the application materials have already been prepared. Since you are here, please sign , handprint, here, here and here."

It's really direct, and I haven't confirmed it yet.
Fanning sat opposite and began to read.

"Mr. Dupont." Fanning read and prepared to ask a question.

"Just call him by his first name."

"Okay, DuPont, I have read the contract and the confidentiality commitment, and there is nothing wrong with it, but why does this application material need to be reported to the Special Inspection Office?" Fan Ning asked suspiciously.

DuPont looked far away:

"The power of the wise is dominated by the church in other countries, but Tiolein, which has the most developed industry and the strongest national power, is an exception. The right to speak here belongs to the imperial authorities."

"During the industrialization of the empire for nearly a hundred years, the Special Inspection Office has become the spokesperson for the interests of the emerging ruling class - the industrial aristocracy, and is also the most powerful organization of the educated. The church here is not as good as the church in other countries. Even The Bologna School, which represents the traditional aristocratic forces, has to compromise with the Special Patrol Office, let alone our Guidance School?"

"The Special Inspection Office strictly investigates the spread of hidden knowledge carriers, regards those with knowledge who are active underground as 'outlaws', and implements hierarchical control. For our major official organizations, we also strictly allocate the annual entry and exit staff. We will include you and need to apply for a record with the Special Patrol Office, which may take three to five days."

"I see." Fan Ning initially understood the relationship.

I have just passed the inspection by Benjamin, and now I submit the application immediately, will it give people a feeling?

Well, everyone is an official organization, and the process is legal and compliant, so you shouldn't be able to do anything to yourself, right?

But Fan Ning knew that in this way, the Special Patrol Office would pay more attention to him.

I hope they didn't find out about the father's identity.

"Be more cautious in your words and deeds on weekdays. People with knowledge in official status may have certain privileges in certain aspects, but they must not do serious illegal things, and they must strictly abide by the taboos related to the transmission of hidden knowledge carriers formulated by the Special Inspection Office. Their style It is the kind that makes you not feel its existence on weekdays, but once it is actually shot, things often progress very quickly, and there is no room for recovery."

DuPont gave a serious explanation: "Caroun, the power behind the Special Inspection Office is far more terrifying than you imagine... Speaking of which, their increasingly tough methods in recent years have already made many officials and those who know disturbed……"

"I'll be careful."

Fan Ning, who had just been promoted to a knowledgeable person, was somewhat depressed at this moment, but when he looked at other documents, his mood finally improved.

"Well, the content of the contract is quite attractive."
