Chapter 86: Things are getting outrageous

Blackthorn Security Company. Klein climbed the stairs skillfully, reached out and pushed open the half-open door, passed through the partition, and entered the truly extraordinary world.

"Klein." A familiar voice sounded.

Klein turned his head and saw Leonard, who was called a poet, holding a book with a blue cover that seemed to have the word "poetry" written on it in Loen.

It looked as if he was reading poetry.

"Leonard." Klein simply greeted him and found a room for the Night Watchmen to rest.

Leonard looked at the book in Klein's hand and asked curiously, "What is this?"

“Oh? This.” Klein didn’t feel the need to keep it secret, so he told the story directly.

"Ms. Amon..."

Before he could say a few words, Klein saw Leonard constantly retreating as if he was having a seizure, with fear in his eyes, looking at him with a look that said, "Don't come near me."

What's going on, what happened?

“What are you doing?” Klein took a step forward, wanting to inquire about the situation.

Leonard retreated frantically, missed a step, and tumbled down the stairs with a bang, then ran inside without stopping.

"What's wrong with him?" Klein scratched his forehead, unable to figure it out. He once again focused on the notebook in his hand that was a kind gift from Miss Amon.

"Old man, what are you doing?" At this time, Leonard finally took control of the body.

After a long while, the old man finally replied in a heavy voice: "It's okay, I admit my mistake."

"Is it really okay?"

Leonard covered his swollen head and showed with practical actions that this is okay?
"It's really okay."

"..."

While Leonard was communicating with his grandfather, Klein also opened the notebook.

First, the content of the first chapter.

"Mathematics, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division..."

For some reason, Klein suddenly felt like he was in school.

'But if I really get into the habit of staying up late to study... Shit, am I losing control?'

Suppressing his boiling emotions, Klein kept flipping through the pages of the book.

From the basic content of mathematics to the more advanced geometry and the explanation of cubic and quartic powers in square roots, a large part of the content is boring numerical symbols.

Some of these mathematical symbols even have more pages than the Loen language. I guess they equate mathematics with English.

"This is the knowledge from the hidden sages... In the Second Era, Maozi taught those people."

Based on the clues, Klein deduced the result in his mind.

A super-powerful man suddenly appeared, using the method of mechanical deification to hit the brains of those ancient races, and the protagonists of the world were replaced by humans...

So why did He disappear?

What happened in the Second Age?
Why did the glorious kingdom suddenly collapse and become a land abandoned by God?
Crane was very confused and wanted to know what history was.

At this time, he developed a strong curiosity.

After all, there is a possibility that the tough guy returned home somehow!
'In addition to collecting Roselle's diary, I also collected the history of the Second Era.'

After slightly changing his next goal in the Tarot Club, Klein continued to read the notebook.

As the pages of mathematics continued to turn, the following content had already touched upon Klein's blind spots.

Probability, analytic geometry, processing of continuous variables, calculus, fluxion method, these earth mathematics from the 17th and 18th centuries were like ghost drawings, and Klein simply could not understand what these things meant.

Selectively ignoring the fact that he was illiterate, Klein chose to skip the following content.

Klein didn't turn many pages before he saw other content.

"This is the principle of the steam engine..." Klein muttered to himself as he continued to learn more about the content.

“No, it’s more than that.” Klein held the pages tightly.

What these principles describe seems to be a kind of "mechanical" knowledge.

Squinting his eyes, Klein sat in the chair and began to carefully think about the formulas and laws described in the notebook.

……

A silent night passed and the sun rose again.

Medea ate her breakfast elegantly with chopsticks.

"Compared to Rune's breakfast, rice is more suitable for me."

[Unintelligible]

"Eating is human nature, life pursues food." Mitia wiped her lips and snapped her index finger. The next moment, in a mirror beside her, everything on the table was swallowed up by an invisible mouth. In the real world, the leftover food residues disappeared without a trace, along with the bowl and chopsticks.

"Let's go, it's time to meet the guests."

The witch's cloak changed into a dress suitable for the meeting, and Medea pushed the door and left.

After she left, the image of "Medya" sitting on a chair appeared in the mirror, and then the person in the mirror walked out. She picked up the lesson plan that had been prepared long ago and gave lectures to these members of the Society of Knowledge.

On the road, a carriage that had been waiting for a long time stopped at the gate after seeing Medea go out.

"Miss Medea."

The coachman was a slightly older man in a suit. He first leaned over to salute Medea, then opened the curtain of the carriage for her.

Nodding, Medea got into the carriage.

The establishment of the Knowledge Society went very smoothly. Lectures at Khoy University helped spread the word of the organization established by Medea quickly. Relying on the identity of a believer of the fictitious God of Knowledge and Wisdom, Medea quickly took root in Tingen City and established initial power.

As it was natural, she received an invitation from the city council of Tingen.

【Witch】

"Well, Madam Sharon is a witch. With the aggregation of extraordinary characteristics, there is a high probability that she will encounter the statue of the original witch."

“With the official power of the city councillors, the establishment of the Polytechnic Society can quickly reach a mature stage.”

She won't find out

"The power of secrecy is really strong."

While they were chatting, the carriage stopped.

Jin Wutong District, where the upper class people of Tingen City live.

Councillor Melende lives in a detached house surrounded by gardens and lawns, with stables, fountains and wide cement roads.

The curtain of the car door was drawn aside, and then Medea saw Senator Melende in his parliamentary uniform.

He was a middle-aged man with very short blond hair, an air of wealth due to his fat accumulation, and an expensive gentleman's cane in his hand.

This guy was also an unlucky guy in the original book. As a congressman, accidents usually wouldn't happen to him, but he... found a witch and died.

Naturally, the 008 feather pen was involved in this.

It stands to reason that since Melende is already a city councilor, he must know something about extraordinary powers, and he must have some life-saving items such as amulets given by the Orthodox Church in Tingen City.

As a professional witch, Mrs. Sharon can move between the Conservative Party and the New Party with ease. She is definitely not a witch who would indulge in killing for pleasure. She should think rationally and act after planning.

Her stepson was a baron, and he also had ambiguous socialite relationships with several other nobles of Backlund, senior government officials, etc. She had no reason to kill Senator Melende.

The benefits she gained were not worth getting involved in this murder case.

“So, Ince Zangwill is really a bad writer…” Once again, Medea finished mocking Ince Zangwill in his heart.

"Hello, Senator Melende." Following the etiquette among Loen nobles, Medea saluted Senator Melende.

"Hello, beautiful Miss Medea." Melende returned the greeting.

After a long period of greetings and flattery, Melende led Medea and the two entered the luxurious manor.

Looking around at the artistically trimmed plants and trees, Medea said thoughtfully, "You seem to be an artist."

"No." Councillor Melende said gently, "This was trimmed for me by my friend."

“I actually prefer it to grow naturally.”

"Get close to nature." Medea did not reveal his thoughts.

Close to nature, indeed.

But it does not prevent the garden of his own home from having a strong artistic atmosphere.

"You said someone contacted me and asked me to teach them about mechanical manufacturing?"

Medea got to the point and spoke directly and crisply.

Indeed, according to his identity as a believer of the god of knowledge and wisdom, it is unreasonable for Medea to play sarcastic remarks on the parliament and the wealthy.

Melende did exactly what Medea thought, and he stated the reason very straightforwardly.

"Mr. Aaron Grant would like to meet you, Miss Medea."

"Grant..." Medea was no stranger to this person.

He established the largest import and export company in Tingen, and many sailors, farmers, and workers worked in this huge company.

Of course, this is not why Medea remembers this man.

The reason why he was able to make Medea remember was simple: Klein's brother Benson was working at Grant's import and export company!
　Klein met Amon in advance, and Leonard's cheating grandfather was dragged into the vortex of Tingen City.
