Mystery: Who has seen my brother?

Chapter 111 Poetry
A crimson veil covered the city, and tranquility became the main theme.

Klein leaned over the table, holding a quill in his right hand as he copied Emperor Roselle's poems in ancient Elvish.

Eve's copying assignments for Kleinbu were all about Emperor Russell, his famous quotes, his poetry, his prose...

Klein seriously suspected that his sister was persecuting this senior time traveler.

Suddenly, Klein felt his spiritual sense being pulled. He followed the feeling and saw an illusory figure appear on the wall of his bedroom.

"Puff, puff."

Little Puji flapped its wings and flew out from the wall. It came to Klein and took the letter and box out of its mouth like last time and handed them to Klein.

After Klein took the envelope and box, Puji winked at him and disappeared into the room.

Klein held the small box in one hand and glanced at the name on the envelope—Frank.

No one else will use my sister's messenger to send me a letter, Klein thought to himself.

Logically speaking, the messenger should only be able to deliver letters between the contractor and others, so my reply letter first reached my sister and then Frank?

Is this too troublesome? But Frank and I don't have a messenger. Hmm... it would be great if I could have my own messenger. My sister should have a spell to summon spirit creatures. I can try it when I have time.

While thinking, Klein suddenly felt the box in his hand tremble. He was slightly surprised to find that there was a living creature in the box.

I hope it's not fruit fish... Klein thought to himself... I wonder what my sister did with the remaining fruit fish. Did she give it all to Ruirui?

On a brighter note, maybe it's seafood. After all, Frank is at sea, and judging by the size of the box, the quantity should be small.

With a nervous mood, Klein opened the box.

In the box was a small black fish about the length of a finger, with a few milky white buds squeezing out from the gaps between its scales.

Klein silently looked at the small fish in the box, feeling as if he had expected something. Although he didn't know what kind of fish it was, it was clearly not a normal species.

Klein closed the box, found a knife, and opened the envelope.

After reading it, Klein didn't know what to say for a moment.

Although it is indeed developed towards production, who would normally use fish to grow wheat?

Klein rubbed his brow, trying to understand Frank.

There is no land on board...

There is sea all around, and fish...

Or maybe it's because Frank likes fish?
Klein shook his head and wrote back to Frank, hoping that the wheat could be grown in the soil instead of fish. If there was no land for his research, he could try seawater.

After writing the letter, Klein checked it again. After confirming that it was correct, he took out a silver bell from his pocket and injected spiritual energy into it.

This silver bell used to be Ruirui's ornament. After Eve made a cat tag for Ruirui, it was made into an extraordinary item and used to summon messengers.

The silver bell shook twice but made no sound. In a flash, Klein saw Little Puji again.

Just like last time, Puji disappeared after Klein threw the letter into his mouth.

Klein glanced at the place where Little Puji disappeared and returned to his desk to do his homework.

It was almost twelve o'clock when he finished his homework. Klein did not go to bed immediately. Instead, he pulled the cardboard box out from under the bed and returned it to Eve using a sacrificial ritual.

After the sacrifice and bestowal ceremony was successful, Klein sent the cardboard box into the gray fog. However, because he had to take it out and read it frequently, it was too troublesome. There was also the danger of Melissa and Benson discovering it, so he hid it back to its original place.

Although Klein didn't want Melissa and Benson to find these books, it wouldn't be difficult to explain if they were discovered.

……the next day

Klein stayed at the Blackthorn Security Company for a while and quietly came to Eve's apartment in Tingen at noon.

He had already recited Eve's name in his heart, and when he arrived at Eve's residence, his sister was lying on the sofa waiting for him.

"Hey, bro," Eve said, supporting herself on the sofa with both hands and raising her upper body, "It's finally here."

Klein nodded. He had long been accustomed to his sister's eccentricities.

Eve stood up straight and waved to Klein, saying, "Let's go."

After saying that, he stretched and walked towards the life-size mirror in the living room.

Klein followed Eve into the mirror world.

The mirror surface rippled like water, and Klein and Eve passed through the mirror and arrived at the storage room.

Klein glanced around and found that everything was the same as the last time he came, even the broken silver mirror on the ground was the same.

The only difference was that there was an extra cardboard box on the floor of the storage room. It was very obvious that it was the one he offered to Eve last night. It was obvious that Eve had once again thrown the things casually into the mirror world.

Eve walked towards the cardboard box, picked it up with both hands, and came to the Fourth Epoch bookshelf, placing the books on the shelf one by one.

"do you need my help?"

"Need not."

Klein withdrew his gaze and walked towards the Third Epoch bookshelf.

"Kingdom of God", "Confessions", "Lamb of the Lord"...

There weren't many books from the Third Age. Klein picked them up one by one and flipped through them. He found that the books from the Third Age were all filled with a strong religious tone.

In addition to several books of poetry, there are also several novels and essays.

Klein took a few poetry books, then turned to Eve and said, "I've got them."

Klein flipped through the poems briefly. The first few pages were all praising the Creator and could help him understand the history of the Third Age.

The creation myths of Silver City and Northern Continent differ greatly. Klein has a hunch that after reading these poems—no, perhaps even before he finishes reading them—he'll be able to tell which is true and which is false.

"I've got it," Klein said after two seconds of contemplation. "I want to look at it here for a while. Is that okay?"

These poems were different from the books of the Fourth Age. If the poems of the Third Age were really so different from the creation myths, Melissa and Benson would definitely think he had joined a cult if they found him reading these books.

"it is good."

Eve took Klein out of the mirror world.

Klein walked to the sofa, holding the books in his arms, and placed them on the coffee table. He pulled out one of the books, sat on the sofa, and began to read with a serious expression, as if he was studying some academic work.

Suddenly, Klein noticed a cup of coffee beside him.

"You're supposed to be guarding Chanis Gate tonight," Eve said, raising her chin and signaling, "Wake up."

Because he often stayed up late, Klein's spirits were indeed a little off.

"Thank you."

Klein picked up the coffee and thanked him. He blew on it, took a sip, looked up at Eve, and a question suddenly popped up in his mind.
