"Captain Dinah."
Karl was unmoved: "You are an adult too. If a person does something wrong, he must pay the corresponding price. You don't even understand this principle, do you?"
"Wrong?" Dinah raised her wine glass with a confused look in her eyes: "Did I do something wrong?"
"Investigating the mummy case and eliminating the fire thieves, everything I did was in line with the chivalric code and the laws of the kingdom."
As a knight, she should protect the weak; as a patrol chief, she should protect justice. She didn't think she had done anything wrong.
Is it right to ignore it?
"Right and wrong depends on the perspective."
Karl shrugged: "Maybe you think you are right, but the people who died because of you and their families don't think so."
"And you work so hard to investigate the case, not just because of the chivalric code, right?"
"Heh..." Dinah shook her head and smiled bitterly, raised her head and drank the wine, then looked at Karl with drunken eyes: "You...you are different from before."
Karl used to be careless and his personality was as rude as his voice, but now he has become elegant, and even his speech is in order.
"People change."
Karl said calmly,
"There's nothing strange about that."
"That's right!" Dinah nodded.
"Cheers."
The two clinked their glasses and drank it all in one gulp.
"Hiccup..."
Dinah's face was dizzy from the alcohol, and her eyes became a little dull. She looked at the wine and smiled foolishly.
Her alcohol tolerance seemed to be average.
"You're right."
Dinah burped and grinned: "I have my own purpose in investigating the case, not just because of the knight's code. Do you know about life potions?"
"Life potions?" Karl raised his eyebrows: "Potions that can help knight squires become knights?"
As a knight squire, he certainly knew about life potions, and similar ones include life fruits. They are all "treasures" that can increase the chance of promotion.
"Yes." Dinah nodded: "I am the chief inspector. If I have made meritorious service, I can apply to the city lord to buy a life potion."
"Hmm..." Karl was puzzled: "You are the eldest daughter of Viscount Sassoon. With the strength of the Yeager family, you can't get a life potion?"
"I got one before." Dinah looked up: "But I was young and ignorant at that time, and I was cheated out of it. Given the rarity of life potions, even if I was the eldest daughter in the family, I couldn't get a second one."
Cheated?
Karl shook his head speechlessly.
Although the other party's words were ambiguous, it was most likely a problem within the family. Such things are not uncommon.
No wonder Dinah has been very active since she took office. It turned out that she wanted to be promoted to a knight.
"I'm not young anymore."
Dinah murmured,
"If I can't be promoted to a knight in a few years, I'll have to find a man I don't know what kind of man to marry."
"I'm not willing to accept this..."
"Every family has its own problems." Karl drank a glass with her and encouraged her: "I wish you success."
"Then can you withdraw the complaint?"
"No."
"..." Dinah lowered her head and drank in silence. When she was half asleep, she threw a heavy bag in front of Karl.
"Bang!"
"Hua La La..."
The sound of coins colliding came from the bag, which also attracted the attention of several people drinking not far away, but they turned their eyes away after seeing the uniform on Karl.
"What is this?"
Karl asked: "Trying to bribe me?"
"No." Dinah shook her head and said in a muffled voice: "Help me to hand it over to Ham's family."
"Ham?" Karl understood: "Why don't you go by yourself?"
"I dare not." Dina sighed: "Ham has an old mother at home, and a deaf-mute sister who was driven back by her husband after getting married."
"I dare not see them, you go for me."
"..." Karl was silent for a moment, and nodded slowly: "Okay."
"By the way, what is the current situation of the mummy case?"
"It has been taken over by the people of the Church, and the night watchmen are in charge." Dinah was obviously reluctant to mention this: "I don't know the details."
"Let's go!" Karl stood up: "You're drunk."
…
"Try it."
Jenny was enthusiastic.
"I learned to make it myself."
"Oh!"
Karl looked at the food on the table and nodded in appreciation: "Not bad."
Almond milk, white bread, grilled meat, cold vegetables, the fresh bread smelled fragrant, and the grilled meat and vegetables were even more delicious.
Let alone the taste, the appearance was very good.
"I learned this from the banquet." Jenny looked shy: "Try it, how does it taste?"
"Yeah." Karl nodded, cut a small piece of grilled meat and put it in his mouth, and nodded with satisfaction after chewing it: "Very good."
"Jenny, even if you don't become a singer and change your career to catering, I believe you can quickly succeed."
"Really?" Jenny smiled: "If it's good, then eat more."
"I ate on the way here." Karl waved his hand: "You can eat, don't worry about me."
He picked up the milk and walked towards his room.
"Stop looking."
After Karl closed the door, Mrs. Mary shook her head at her reluctant daughter:
"He is obviously not interested in you."
"But..." Jenny pursed her lips: "I still have a chance, don't I?"
"Now that you have been admitted to the singing group, you should focus on your career instead of learning to please men." As a person who has experienced it, Mrs. Mary taught her daughter: "Too dependent on men will only make you lose yourself."
"Got it." Jenny looked impatient: "I have been practicing singing well, and the seniors in the group have promised to let me perform on stage soon."
"Really?" Mrs. Mary looked surprised: "That's great, if you can perform on stage, you can get paid, and your life will be better."
"Yeah." Jenny held her chin with her hand, thinking: "If I perform on stage, can I invite Baron Karl to watch, will he agree?"
"..." Looking at her daughter who looked like a fan girl, Mrs. Mary was speechless, and simply got up and cleaned up the dishes.
In the room.
Karl tried to practice meditation again.
Without the blessing of the power of the god's domain, his consciousness had just entered the spiritual sea when it was shaken by a wave. (Divine domain= God's Domain)
The more unstable the mind is, the more distracting thoughts there are, and the bigger the waves are.
"No thoughts, no feelings, no fantasies, keep your heart steady, let distracting thoughts rise and fall, I will remain unmoved, it's easier said than done."
Fortunately, with the experience in the god's Domain, Karl has gradually found the rules, so he was not kicked out as soon as he came in.
After a while.
"Huh..."
"It still doesn't work!"
Karl shook his head helplessly with a tired face, but he was used to failure. He calmed down and entered the God's Domain with the book in his arms.
"Secondary magic force field."
Karl opened the book and stopped at the page of constructing the spell model. He tried to practice with an expressionless face.
Here, he has mastered the meditation method, and his mental power has been condensed. In theory, he can already construct a spell model.
However, according to teacher Adolf, the secondary magic force field is a difficult one in zero-ring witchcraft.
Not only is the spell model complicated.
It also requires more mental power than ordinary zero-ring witchcraft.
And mental power is limited by the real body, and it will not increase just because you are in the God's Domain.
Whether it can succeed or not is still a matter of time.
"Arcane, force Field..."
Karl in the god's domain was like a Taoist priest in a snail shell, using incredible control to control the weak mental power to construct a spell model.
The mental power turned into lines to outline in the sea of consciousness, from simple to complex.
Until... forming a whole.
