Chapter 144
After the review of the Cufflinks Culture Church is over.
Early the next morning, Ronald got his own document.
A fully written information identification form with little nutritional value, and a small card that was easy to carry. These two small things were stuffed into an envelope and thrown into the mailbox in front of the boarding house this morning.
At first glance.
Ronald had a sense of déjà vu in his mind that this was a 'prescription drug list from another world'.
In order to prevent ordinary people who are not [seeds] from accidentally getting this thing and looking at it, the content written by the church is foggy. Even if an uninformed person holds it in their hands, they will never understand its meaning.
In a sense,
this can be considered a similar approach, right?
During the period before and after the review, Ronald naturally did not stay at home without a job.
In addition to asking for some news in the city in his own way.
He also learned more about the various conventions and lore of the mystical side.
This time, with the trustworthy Patricia by his side, he finally had a teacher he could consult at will.
In more than a week, his understanding of the mysterious side has reached a level above the passing line. Even if he encounters the Riddler who talks around like Alida again, he will no longer behave as he did at the beginning of the time travel. Reveal your flaws.
But there is one pity.
Unlike the smooth acquisition of knowledge on the mysterious side, Ronald encountered some troubles in the process of inquiring about the information.
——Or should be said.
Nothing was found.
At least within his circle of information, there was no young girl who suddenly appeared in Burrenwich with an injured shoulder blade.
Of course, things are also prioritized.
As far as the current situation is concerned, the collection of knowledge and intelligence on the mysterious side is not the most important.
Because the first thing Ronald has to face is an invitation.
An invitation was sent to me a week ago.
——Investigation Bureau celebration banquet.
Today is the day when the Investigation Bureau holds a celebration party, and it is also the time when Ronald and Patricia make an appointment to go out together.
Follow the rules for hosting banquets in this world.
The specific admission time should be one hour before dinner today and the time before nightfall.
If you plan to arrive on time for the opening.
Then in about an hour, he should walk up to the third floor like a gentleman and invite Patricia to go.
Bang, bang, bang—
suddenly, a knock on the door sounded in the hallway on the second floor.
Is it Patricia?
Although he was a little surprised, Ronald quickly walked to the door and opened the door.
"Patrick."
"Ms. Hudson!?"
The invitation stopped abruptly, and Ronald's confident words were stuck in his throat.
--the reason is simple.
What appeared outside the door at this moment was not a girl with beautiful platinum hair, but the landlady walking up the stairs with her hands behind her back!
Under the gaze of experienced eyes, I was thinking about tonight's banquet.
Ronald became a little nervous unconsciously.
"."
Seeing Ronald's body stiffen in front of her, the landlady didn't even say a word to tease him.
She just smiled gently, and then asked in a natural tone:
"Mr. Ronald."
"Didn't I hear that you were going to attend a banquet today?"
"You have only lived in Burrenwich for more than a month. I guess I haven't prepared many things that need to be prepared."
"I'll lend you the things I have here for now."
As he spoke, the landlady reached out and handed a wooden box to Ronald.
"This is..."
There was some hesitation in his eyes, but Ronald still took the box.
Immediately, looking at Ronald who looked a little confused, the landlady explained:
"This is a pair of cufflinks that I kept when I was young. I rarely use them now. If you don't have the right ones here, you can Take it with you and give it a try."
"Ah!"
"Thank you so much!"
Ronald immediately thanked him.
During his time living in this world, he has learned a lot about the living customs of local people, including common sense about dressing up.
In the dress etiquette of this world.
In addition to the gorgeous clothes, necklaces and earrings that women pay attention to,
for men, cufflinks are a very important accessory that almost means a person's face.
When attending various formal occasions, qualified people will specially customize different cufflinks for use to express their status and how serious they are about attending the occasion.
Now the landlady personally came to deliver this pair of cufflinks.
Definitely a very kind and friendly favor on Ronald's part.
"It's nothing."
"I'm very optimistic about you, young man."
"You have to work hard."
Regarding Ronald's thanks, the landlady didn't say much, she just showed a kind smile.
Bang bang -
reached out and patted Ronald's arm, and the lady walked downstairs.
It wasn't until her figure was about to disappear around the corner of the stairs that she spoke again in a long voice:
"Mr. Ronald."
"I wish you and Miss Patricia a good time tonight."
"."
Standing there He watched the landlady out of sight at the door.
Ronald waited a few seconds before retreating into the room and closing the door.
He solemnly placed the box on the desk and opened it. A pair of diamond-shaped metal cufflinks immediately appeared in front of him. The blue and silver cufflinks lay quietly on the sponge and velvet backing.
Exquisite pattern inlays, handcrafted texture details, just the right size and weight.
No matter how you look at it.
Everyone can understand that this is a carefully selected and high-quality jewelry.
After staring like this for a few seconds, Ronald immediately turned his head and walked towards the closet.
With the cufflinks lent to me by Mrs. Hudson, it was time to change into the clothes I had prepared.
Today is the home field of the Investigation Bureau after all.
Considering the style of the mysterious side, the clothes Ronald chose were not too flashy.
A set of clean white shirts, a pair of brand new leather shoes, a simple yet beautiful hat, and a pair of stockings as white as snow. "."
"
Forget it."
After thinking about it, Ronald gave up and put them on. The intention of this pair of socks.
Although men in this world all wear this kind of thing in formal occasions, but coming from the 21st century, he still can't accept it.
She changed into trousers and socks, then turned back to take out the cufflinks from the table and put them on her shirt to tighten them, and finally put on the newly purchased light-colored jacket.
——Ronald looked in the full-length mirror.
The slim-fitting clothes fully showed off the young man's tall and straight figure. On his flawless handsome face, there was a kind smile in his meticulous spirit.
Especially a pair of dark gray pupils.
In this extremely rare color, the calmness deep in his eyes gives the young man more charm.
At this moment, Ronald realized something.
He probably knows the reason why he is very popular among ladies
