Chapter 84 Elizabeth

Seeing his sister's puzzled eyes, Klein suddenly felt that this was an opportunity. He looked up and down at the other party, and said with a serious expression:

"Melissa, you don't have enough respect for today's dinner."

"What?" Melissa looked puzzled.

Klein pointed to her neck and said:

"As a lady, you still lack a necklace to adorn this place."

Without waiting for his sister to speak, he smiled and took out a silver amulet surrounded by angel feathers from his pocket:

"Fortunately, I prepared it for you."

"..." Melissa was stunned for a moment, then blurted out, "How much?"

Sister, your focus is not quite right... Klein silently complained, and explained with a smile:

"Actually, it's not expensive, because it was only a semi-finished product at first. I imitated the cultural relics I had seen before, and carved blessing spells and beautiful patterns on it."

"You carved it?" Melissa was really distracted.

"How is it? What do you think of my craftsmanship?" Klein took advantage of the situation and handed the amulet to his sister.

Melissa looked over and over again, bit her lip lightly, and said:

"I love the angel feathers around."

If you think the incantations and symbols I carved are ugly, just say it directly, don't hide it... The main purpose of the amulet is the effect! Klein's mouth twitched slightly. Just as he was about to persuade his sister to accept it, he saw Melissa wearing a silver necklace around her neck with a "reluctance" expression, and carefully placed the amulet.

"Perfect." Klein looked at it and praised exaggeratedly.

Melissa glanced at him, looked down at the amulet, and muttered:

"Klein, you were not like this before, this way..."

"Perhaps because of having a good job and a good income, the whole person has become more confident." Klein interrupted his sister's words and explained first.

Hey, although I received the original owner's memory fragments, there is no problem in the big aspect, but in some details, I still habitually show the real character... Especially after getting along with Benson and Melissa more and more naturally... He secretly Sighed.

Melissa seemed to agree with his reason, pursed her lips and said:

"You're so good now, really good..."

After the brothers and sisters chatted for a while, Benson changed his clothes and went downstairs. The white shirt, black vest, tuxedo, black bow tie and straight trousers gave him a new look, like the kind of successful person who has his own career after working hard for many years.

The hairline is also very similar... Klein secretly smiled in his heart.

"It's great, Benson, that's what you wear." He spread his hands with a bright smile.

Melissa also nodded earnestly beside her.

"It turns out that clothes are more important than me." Benson joked to himself.

Klein took the opportunity to take out the remaining amulet, repeated the previous rhetoric, and finally said:

"I made one for you too."

"Not bad, I'll take it with me." Benson accepted it calmly, and joked, "Klein, even if you suddenly can cut your hair, make clothes, fix clocks, and feed curly baboons, I don't feel surprised. ."

"Life is always full of surprises and surprises." Klein replied with a smile.

Next, the three brothers and sisters packed themselves up, walked out of the gate, and took a trackless public carriage to Fania Street in the North District, where Selena's house is located.

Wood's house is also a row house, but unlike Klein and the others, it has a porch and a small lawn in front of the door, which makes it more elegant.

Pulling the doorbell, Klein, Benson and Melissa only waited for more than ten seconds before they saw today's protagonist Selena Wood.

The girl with long burgundy hair happily gave Melissa a hug:

"I like your dress, it makes you look so beautiful.

"

Next to Selena was her father, Mr. Wood, a senior employee of Backlund Bank's Tingen branch.

"Welcome, our venerable brother, welcome, our young historian." He greeted Benson and Klein exaggeratedly.

Young historian...Why not add a description of "conscience"... Klein scolded a few words, took off his hat, and responded with a smile:

"Mr. Wood, you are more energetic and younger than I imagined."

His compliment style unknowingly skewed toward the big foodie empire.

Benson reached out and shook hands with Old Wood:

"I've known quite a few bank employees, but they're all just as arrogant, stiff, like the latest model of machinery, and none of them are as graceful as you."

"If you met me at the bank, you probably wouldn't think so." Old Wood smiled very happily.

After the greeting, Selena, who was wearing a new long dress, jumped slightly and led the three brothers and sisters inward, sometimes saying "Elizabeth has arrived" in a normal volume, and sometimes lowering her voice and saying to Melissa, "Your brothers are better than I imagined. hansome".

Hey, my hearing is very good... Although you are saying compliments... Klein helplessly looked at the two sixteen-year-old girls walking side by side in front of him.

That's not right, I'm still a long way from being handsome now... Hiss, Miss Selena, how ugly did you think of me and Benson? One restrained and gloomy, slovenly, with pale face and dull eyes, and one with thinning hair and premature aging? Klein squeezed his eyebrows and practiced Spirit Vision diligently.

Miss Selena is healthy, excited and very happy... Mr. Wood's lungs have a little problem, yes, I saw his pipe... Klein glanced at everyone present in a good mood.

"Elizabeth, Melissa is here." At this moment, Selena greeted the front briskly.

A teenage girl in a blue lace dress with long natural curly brown hair and lovely baby fat came over.

Klein was stunned for a moment, because he knew this girl.

In the underground trading market, he also helped the other party choose amulets!

Elizabeth first greeted Melissa, then looked at Benson and Klein.

She froze there, frowning slightly, as if thinking about something.

Soon, Elizabeth smiled and greeted politely as if nothing had happened.

Klein also pretended not to recognize the other party. Under the guidance of Old Wood, he came to the sofa area of ​​the living room and was introduced to Selena's brother Chris and other guests.

Klein couldn't help but feel a little envious when Benson talked with Chris and other lawyers on the topic of Mr. Shawd next door.

I don't have such communication skills... He picked up a glass of aperitif from the table in the corner and listened quietly, nodding from time to time, and laughing in agreement.

It didn't take long for all the guests to arrive, and the dinner officially started.

Because there were too many invited guests, the dining table of Wood's family could not afford it, so the dinner was held in the form of self-service. The maid served steak, grilled chicken, fried fish, mashed potatoes and other foods on different tables. The valet is responsible for cutting, so that the portion is suitable for taking.

Seeing those elegant enamel dinner plates and silver knives and forks, Klein couldn't help secretly stunned, thinking that only the middle-class Wood family was too extravagant.

"Since he is so rich, why does Chris have to prepare for the wedding for a few more years?" He wondered what his sister had said before, "Well, maybe it is just to accumulate such tableware, it takes a few more years to prepare, For families like this, decency is important!"

While thinking about it, Klein picked up a porcelain plate, came to the dining table, and forked a piece of barbecued meat smeared with honey.

At this moment, Elizabeth with cute baby fat on her face approached, looked at the food, and said in a low voice:

"It turns out that you are Melissa's brother... Thank you, Selena likes the amulet I gave very much. She said that she felt healthy as soon as she put it on."

Selena... Amulet... Klein suddenly remembered the reason why the girl next to him chose the amulet:

Birthday gift for a friend who loves occultism!

That friend is Selena? Selena likes mystical realm stuff? Klein frowned slightly and smiled politely:

"That's probably just a placebo-like effect."

After saying this, he began to wait for the other party to praise Emperor Roselle.

But Elizabeth's reaction was ignorant:

"What is a placebo?"

"It's purely psychological. Sometimes, when we believe that we will get better, we will really get better." Klein roughly explained.

"No, she said that it was different from the amulet she had bought before, and it felt different," Elizabeth emphasized.

She glanced sideways at Klein and said curiously:

"I didn't expect Melissa's brother to be an occultist."

"You know, I study history, and I always come into contact with similar things." Klein passed the topic without a trace and asked, "Are you also at Tingen Technical School?"

"No, I used to be classmates with Selena and Melissa. Later, they went to technical school. I was at the nearby Iwos School." Elizabeth explained seriously.

The public school is not a public school, but a school for public enrollment. It evolved from a good grammar school and aims to cultivate graduates who can enter the university. The tuition fee is quite expensive, and the family background of the students will be examined. The middle class is also unbearable.

She didn't talk much, picked the food and returned to Selena.

Congratulations to today's protagonist happy birthday, the dinner is coming to an end, Klein and Benson are invited to join the ranks of Texas Hold'em, small blind half penny, big blind 1 penny, and Melissa, Elizabeth, Selena When my friends went to the second floor, I didn't know whether to chat or play other games.

Klein was unlucky today. After playing about twenty hands, he didn't even get a good hand, so he could only keep looking at the cards and discarding them, acting as a spectator.

He tilted the corner of the card again and found it was the 2 of hearts and the 5 of spades.

"Would you like to bluff?" Klein considered for a moment, but still couldn't summon the courage, and restrained the urge to cheat with divination.

He folded his cards, knocked on the table, signaled not to call, then got up from the long table and headed to the bathroom.

Roselle is also someone with obsessive-compulsive disorder, and even found a strange reason to continue to name this gameplay Texas... Klein shook his head and walked forward.

At this moment, he suddenly stopped and his eyes narrowed.

His inspiration told him that there were strange fluctuations upstairs!
