"Alright, you two follow me to the literature room." Old Neil looked at the note the captain handed over, led the two people to open the thick iron door of the literature room, wrote Kenley and Klein's names in the sign-in book on the wall nearby, took out four thick materials from inside and handed them to the two.
"These cannot be taken out, if you're thirsty you can only drink clear water, cannot drink any beverages, try not to splash any liquids on the literature." Old Neil instructed.
"My room has coffee and black tea, as long as one person is in the literature room the literature room door can remain open, you can take turns coming out to drink." He said quietly to the two, winked at them kindly, and quietly returned to his own room.
Really a good person.
Kenley scanned through the literature before him at ten lines at a glance, especially the introduction to "2-049" the "Cheating Puppet", he quickly finished reading three volumes of literature, leaving only the one in front of Klein.
Klein looked at the content in the literature with great interest, Kenley left the literature room without making a sound, ran to Old Neil's room to mooch coffee.
"Finished reading so quickly?" Old Neil looked at Kenley in surprise.
Kenley couldn't say that the knowledge he mastered already far exceeded those "children's" level mystical studies readings that Old Neil provided, pointed at the wall clock.
It was almost lunch time.
Old Neil smiled understandingly, "I heard you have a mission this afternoon, remember to eat more."
"That's right." Kenley nodded, "I'm very hungry now."
At one in the afternoon, Kenley had the most abundant ten-penny boxed lunch, after eating his fill he was already somewhat drowsy, half-lying on the desk dozing off, just at this time, Captain Dunn walked in.
"They've arrived."
Kenley immediately became extremely alert, called Klein over, the captain led them to his office, "You follow me, do this action, keep it up constantly, absolutely cannot stop, remember, absolutely cannot stop, this concerns your safety!"
While speaking, Dunn bent his arm, then extended it, extended it, then bent it again, continuously repeating this cycle without interruption.
"Can this speed be slowed down a bit more?" Kenley's eyes stared tightly at the captain's elbow-bending speed, while carefully imitating.
"This speed is already the limit." Captain Dunn said, "This speed allows us to know if you're in danger, once there's danger, we can quickly rescue."
"If you're tired, just switch arms."
"Good." Kenley and Klein stopped talking, carefully followed Dunn through the road leading to the crossroads, arrived at the guard room outside "Chanis Gate".
Captain Dunn turned sideways and pushed open the door with his body, Kenley and Klein learned his action and also pushed open the door with their bodies, inside, Leonard wore a hat on his head, together with three other people inside doing the repetitive elbow-bending action, seeing Kenley and Klein enter, winked at them as greeting.
"This is Ms. Lolota, Sequence 8 'Gravedigger', also a sharpshooter." The black-haired woman around thirty years old kindly nodded to Klein and Kenley.
She wore no hat, dressed in male-like clothing, black coat, white shirt, black tight trousers and same-colored leather boots, corners of her mouth slightly upturned.
"Al Hasen, an old fellow like me."
"Borgia, Sequence 9 'Sleepless One'." Dunn pointed to the last Nighthatcher.
"Greetings to all three." Kenley and Klein nodded to the three people, "We two are still newcomers, don't yet know how to keep handshaking and elbow-bending actions in perfect coordination in this situation."
"Nobody knows." Al Hasen smiled while bending his elbow, "Congratulations on finding a headache-inducing topic in the Extraordinary world."
In Kenley's eyes, Al's elbow-bending speed suddenly became very slow, as if like movie frames playing one by one, Borgia pushed his back, this made his elbow-bending speed return to normal.
"Let's go, now is not a good place for chatting." Captain Dunn said, "Leonard, you drive."
"Yes, captain." Leonard put away the cynical expression on his face, "You all be careful."
He walked out of the office while bending his elbow, Al Hasen stood up, lifted a iron-black leather case from the side, one corner of the case carved with stars and crimson crescent moon representing the Evernight Goddess, a heavy and solid feeling transmitted from inside.
This case's security level doesn't seem inferior to a bank's safe.
Thump! Thump!
Two violent sounds of kicking the case came from inside, this "cheating puppet" seemed to sense the movement of people nearby, gradually becoming frantic.
"Quiet, you little guy."
Al Hasen kicked the case, his movements became sluggish for an instant, Ms. Lolota pushed him, Kenley and Klein were also simultaneously pushed by Captain Dunn, only then did they feel restored to normal.
The elbow-bending action wasn't difficult, any random person could do it hundreds of times, but the difficulty was having to maintain this action continuously, not stopping for even a second, this was the hardest thing.
Klein, experiencing the oppressive power brought by a "Sealed Artifact" for the first time, had fine beads of sweat appear on his face.
"Don't worry, we're here." Kenley softly comforted, following the captain onto the carriage.
Because of Kenley and Klein's presence, Leonard found the largest carriage, the spacious carriage interior could seat six people without feeling crowded, Ms. Lolota sat beside Leonard acting as coachman, the two chatted intimately, not seeming like it was their first meeting.
"Those two?" Kenley looked at Ms. Lolota leaning on Leonard's shoulder, curiously asked in a low voice.
"Young people's affairs, we don't want to know too much." Al Hasen said with a chuckle.
So Leonard's romantic reputation has reached Backlund.
Kenley thought while doing the elbow-bending exercise, using all his strength trying to make the elbow-bending exercise become an instinct, so if he needed to fight, he could ignore his left arm.
"Making it instinctual requires very precise control over the body's muscles and blood vessels." Borgia seemed to see what Kenley wanted to do, said in a slightly hoarse voice.
Maybe people on the "Secrets Supplicant" pathway could do it, I'm just a "Thief", temporarily have no way to control every blood vessel and muscle in my body.
Kenley sighed, saw the carriage stop in front of Riel Bieber's house.
