Mystery: Big Alarm Clock Ghroth Path

Chapter 98: Rising Transit

Roger, Klein, and Bandit quickly adapted to life at 15 Minsk Street. Klein even took the initiative to take on the task of cooking for the family, and even took care of Bandit's cat meals.

This saved Roger a lot of trouble. He didn't know if it was his illusion, but after eating the meals made by Klein for a few days, Bandit grew taller and longer visibly.

Compared with the previous negative trend where Bandit's horizontal development clearly outpaced its vertical development, the current situation is clearly more in line with Roger's idea.

According to Klein, that was because "Roger didn't pay enough attention to Bandit's balanced diet."

Roger also readily accepted such criticism.

A few days passed peacefully, and Klein finally received his first detective commission.

It was a commission from lawyer Jurgen Cooper from 58 Minsk Street. Brody, the black cat raised by his grandmother Ms. Doris, was lost for some reason, so he wanted to try his luck with detective Sherlock Moriarty who lived on the same street.

Klein used "cane divination" to easily find Brody behind the cupboard, and for this he received a reward of 5 soli and the friendship between lawyer Jurgen and his grandson.

He was then involved in a case commissioned by a teenager named Ian, and was very busy.

As for Roger, Mr. Fool contacted him two days ago and conveyed a piece of information from Miss Audrey Hall, the Justice.

The information was that the royal family would hold a music festival at the Royal Theater in mid-September. Several famous orchestras and theater troupes in Backlund would take turns performing on stage, and the vast majority of high-ranking nobles had been invited.

This included Prince Edessak.

This interest attracted Roger's attention. If nothing unexpected happened, this would be Prince Edessak's last public appearance in nearly two months.

If he misses this opportunity, the prince may not appear again before the end of the year.

This was absolutely intolerable to Roger because too much time was wasted and God knew what would happen in the meantime.

It is not ruled out that Prince Edessak will be killed like in the original timeline, in which case Roger will lose the most important clue.

So in the past two days he has been trying to find clues about the performance in major regular newspapers and public channels, and sure enough, he found an important piece of information.

It was a temporary recruitment notice from an organization called "Dwork Music Company." They were looking for two outstanding temporary opera singers who could sing high notes for a large-scale performance in the near future in the "Backlund Daily." The validity period of this recruitment notice was September 9th.

This means that they will most likely organize a performance in mid- or late September, which coincides with the time of the royal performance informed by Miss Justice.

On the other hand, Roger clearly sensed through his "singer" ability that his recent fortune would show a clear upward trend starting from this day, so after confirming through divination that the recruitment news was beneficial to him, he took the subway to the Dwork Music Company in Hillston District.

De Walker Music Company is a large art company in the Hillston area. They specialize in organizing and performing concerts, operas and musicals. They have many high-quality orchestras, actors and singing groups, and often host performances commissioned by the government and even the royal family.

It is precisely because of this strength that DeWalker Music Company has its own piece of land and a large stone building as its headquarters in the land-scarce Hillston area.

The moment Roger arrived in front of the stone building, he realized where his rising fortune was about to end.

Because he found the name "Alice Yeeman" at the very end of the "Outstanding Young Singers" notice board in the window.

Through the brief information, Roger learned that Miss Alice was from Tingen City. By chance, she was discovered by a manager of the company and brought to Backlund to develop and become a musical actor.

"Alice... Could this be the outstanding singer from the Tingen docks that Mr. Faye mentioned?" Roger muttered to himself as he walked to the front desk and said to a beautiful young brown-haired lady:

"Hello, my name is Benedict Jones, and I'm here to apply for a temporary opera singer position."

After that, he handed the lady his personal information that he had prepared in advance.

The latter quickly browsed through his information, poured Roger a glass of water and asked him to wait for a while.

After a while, the beautiful lady came back, and with her came a slightly overweight man wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a white suit.

The latter walked up to Roger with duck steps. Roger quickly stood up and the two shook hands.

“Hello, Mr. Jones, I’m Jack Jeffrey, the showrunner for DeWork Music.

Jack Jeffrey flipped through Roger's file and asked in a tone that was half questioning and half confirming:

"It says here that you've taught yourself vocal music for several years and are proficient in all parts...? Is that true?"

There was clear confusion in his voice.

Because vocal music is a very complex skill, it generally requires years of study in a specialized music school or guidance from a master teacher to master it.

There are people who are self-taught, but they are very few.

On the other hand, each singer has a different voice and breath, which means they generally only specialize in one part, and the outstanding ones may master two parts at the same time.

It is extremely rare to be able to master three parts at the same time and be "good at" them, not to mention that the young man in front of him is self-taught in vocal music, which makes it even more impossible.

So Jack Jeffrey's first reaction was that the man called Baleno Jones was a liar.

"Yes, I'm good at all vocal parts. Recently, I've been performing singing in the dock area of Tingen City and have gained considerable fame."

Roger paused, then continued, "I happened to be in Backlund visiting relatives recently and came across your company's recruitment notice for extras. I wanted to come for an interview... Although I've never participated in a formal opera performance, I'd like to give it a try. Perhaps it can open up a new career path."

"Tingen City Dockyard?"

Jeffrey was stunned when he heard this. He quickly flipped to the back of Roger's information and saw his experience as a resident singer at the "Desert Island" bar.

He was the one who discovered Alice, brought her to Backlund, and transformed her from an underground singer to a contracted musical actress, so of course he knew about the "Desert Island" bar.

"Do you know Miss Alice Yeaman?"

As expected, the executive of Dwork Music Company asked.
