感嘆了一声，他抖动手腕，將摺叠的信纸在面前展开。

信纸上是和上次一样的字跡，只不过內容从指责、厌弃变成了夸讚，並在信件的结尾询问他下次投稿的时间。

西瑞恩隨手將信纸塞回了信封，他从信纸的字跡上感受到了一股急切、渴求，还有些討好的情绪。

“看来这位主编远比来信上表现得更加急切，或许，我可以给自已涨一涨稿费。”

低语间，他身后的房门突然被人推开，穿著合身的儿童正装，脖子上繫著小巧丝绸领结的小托马斯抱著一堆零食小跑了进来。

贝丝和专门照顾他的僕人都不在身边的时候，他一下就恢復了小孩该有的样子。

“舅舅，舅舅，看，我给你带了好多零食。”

“母亲说了，受伤的人就要补充营养，这是我攒了好久才偷偷攒下来的零食。”

西瑞恩有些惊讶地看向小托马斯，他记得上次见面的时候小托马斯说这种大长句还会有些磕磕绊绊，这才不到半个月，他说话就这么利索有条理了。

“小托马斯真棒。”西瑞恩打著哈欠把小孩抱了起来。

“今天起的很早吧？舅舅奖励你一个小时的偷懒睡觉时间。”

小托马斯连连摇头，肉嘟嘟的小脸隨著他摇头的动作微微晃动：“我不要睡觉。”

“明明是舅舅你自己想睡觉，我已经长大了，再也不会被骗了。”

一7

完了，这小孩都不好糊弄了。

中午，用过午餐之后，西瑞恩想把一直粘著自己的小托马斯交给哈文，但他被一大一小两个人同时拒绝。

哈文：“我不適合带小孩。”

小托马斯：“我不要跟著哈文舅舅，他凶凶的。”

西瑞恩：....

这我还怎么出门，我还有一个清理下水道野兽的委託没有给人完成呢。

在確定自己这几天都甩不掉爱缠著自己的小托马斯后，他决定將之前在“智慧之眼”老先生召集的聚会上接受的委託转交给其他人。

虽然在他不打算继续参与“智慧之眼”老先生召集的聚会后，不去完成这个委託也没什么，但他还是想要拉拢一下那位“药师”。

尤其是知道了“黄光”威尼坦的预言和“黑夜女神”的提示之后。

他还想著自己或许可以通过那位“药师”接触到生命学派，接触到威尔·昂赛汀。

乔伍德区，明斯克街15號。

刚从克拉格俱乐部回来的克莱恩耳畔突然迴响起虚幻层叠的祈祷声。

.男性嗓音，是“倒吊人”先生，“命运”西瑞恩，还是小“太阳”？

思索间，他的身体已经熟练的走进了盥洗室，关上大门，布置一层隔绝內外的灵性之墙后这才逆走四步进入灰雾之上。

恢弘古老的宫殿內，克莱恩蔓延灵性触及了代表西瑞恩的那颗深红星辰。

深红的光芒骤然膨胀，然后又忽的收缩，凝聚出一副画面。

西瑞恩后仰著靠坐在书桌前的木椅上，正低声向自己祈祷：

“尊敬的『愚者”先生，请帮我转告您在贝克兰德的那位眷者，我有一个现在不方便完成的委託，如果他感兴趣的话，我可以將委託转交给他处理。”

“这个委託来自我参与的一个非凡者聚会，內容是清理东区某个位置下水道中活跃的野兽，那位委託者给出的报酬是4瓶非凡药剂。”

“我原本打算通过发布任务的那个『药师』接触生命学派，因此並没有索要太多报酬。”

“您那位眷者如果对这个委託的报酬不满意，可以根据委託的难度適当追加报酬，或者由我额外再支付一部分酬劳。”

“另外，是否完成委託並不重要，我只是想要和那位『药师』建立联繫，最终目的是接触到他身后的生命学派。”

“您那位眷者如果接受这个委託，请让他量力而行，东区下水道里肆掠的野兽或许有额外的危险，我之前针对这个任务做过占卜，但占卜失败。”

祈祷光点凝聚出的画面悄然消散，克莱恩看著面前空空荡荡的青铜长桌陷入沉思：

“清理下水道的委託，这该不会是上次那个聚会上出现过的那个委託吧？”

呢喃间，他伸手具现出了惯用的黄水晶吊坠，打算占下一下这个委託的危险程度。
