Should I raise you too?

What? You want to buy the ripe fruit on Miss Susanna's chest?

You're such a despicable male servant!

Wait, something's not right. That's not referring to mature fruit, it's referring to the results of an invention!

Well done, manservant! I knew I hadn't misjudged you!

Chapter 59 Miss Elisa has a headache

"A promising invention.jpg"

Elisa was deeply moved, and the photo album function was finally put to use!

She feigned curiosity and said to Maria, "Simon seems to have found something interesting. Let's go take a look."

After Maria agreed, she quickly went to Susanna's display stand.

Let me see what this invention, which is about to bring me great rewards, is.

She quickly spotted the wooden table in front of Susanna, on which lay paper and a pencil. The paper was ordinary, and the pencil was a push-button type.

A push-up pencil, a decorative pencil used by the wealthy, Elisa also had one, but she never used it.

Push-type pencils are often made of gold or silver for the outer shell, with a graphite core inside. When in use, the graphite core is extended by rotating the end.

This type of pen was popular for a time, but almost no one used it formally; it was used only as a decoration. On the one hand, this pen was cumbersome to use. Not to mention its weight, after rotating the end, the graphite core would either be too long or too short, and it was also easy to slip back. On the other hand, the graphite core was too thick, so it could only write large characters, and it was difficult to form a stable stroke, making it far less aesthetically pleasing than writing with a fountain pen.

After watching for a while, Elisa understood Susanna's changes. She changed the structure of rotating to push the graphite core to pressing to push it, and the graphite core became thinner, but it was still a bit thick.

Compared to the innovations of other inventions, Susanna's tweaks to the push-type pencil were inconspicuous, so there were few people at her booth.

Like the other visitors, Elisa felt that the invention had little to offer. Admittedly, pressing to advance the pen tip was more convenient than rotating it, and it seemed less likely to slip, making the pen easier to use.

But a push-type pencil is an expensive decorative item; what's the point of making it more functional? Adding more elaborate patterns to the pencil casing is the right approach!

If it weren't for the male servant, Elisa would never have given this pen a second glance.

Even with the male servant's strong recommendation, she still hesitated.

Elisa opened the logbook to see if the male servant had any further analysis.

Simon pondered whether to recommend Susanna's invention to Miss Elisa or borrow money from Miss Eleanor to invest himself.

Why borrow from Eleanor? Oh right, that night, the valet and Eleanor formed an alliance and agreed to share intelligence.

"There's no rush," Simon said, staring at Susanna's back as he considered whether or not to purify the evil spirit.

...What evil spirit?! How did it suddenly jump from mechanics to the mystical?!

And why is it an evil spirit again? During the picnic, wasn't the evil spirit behind Susanna dealt with by Eleanor?

Elisa activated her "spiritual vision" and indeed saw the spirit of a cat behind Susanna.

Strictly speaking, this is not an evil spirit, but only a floating spirit, so my spirit did not give me any warning.

This weak spirit can also affect mental health, making people more prone to fatigue and illness.

Miss Susanna is really unlucky. It hasn't been long since she was haunted by a spirit again!

Is she susceptible to attracting spirits?

The floating spirits were easy to deal with; the male servant only needed to activate the "Scarab Badge." He had wrapped the badge in layers of clothing, and since it was daytime, he wasn't worried about the badge glowing and attracting attention.

After weighing his options, Simon decided against taking action.

Giving up? You helped the previous evil spirits, and now you're giving up on a mere floating spirit?

Is there a conspiracy?

Being haunted by spirits twice is indeed strange; perhaps it was an attempt by a supernatural being or an enthusiast of mysticism.

However, even if it is an evil spirit, it is only a very weak supernatural being, so there is no need to be so cautious.

Should I step in? Help Susanna deal with the cat spirit, and incidentally, acquire her invention at a friendly price. Since the male servant is so optimistic about it, there must be a reason.

Hehe, if the investment fails, we'll ruthlessly exploit the male servant, doubling the price of the Magic Mirror Q&A! Until he pays off his debts!

After a moment's thought, Elisa regretfully abandoned the idea of ​​exorcising the spirit.

To maintain the persona of an ordinary wealthy young lady, I can't get involved in the occult. I can dabble in investing, but exorcisms are out of the question.

Let the male servants have their headaches.

"Miss Susanna discovered Simon and invited him to the stage for a tour. Simon praised her invention from a professional perspective, which pleased her. She then invited Simon to enroll in the Kingdom's public university."

That's going too far! They're trying to steal my boyfriend again!

Elisa was supposed to go on stage and assert her dominance over the male servants, but Susanna's conversation with the male servants was too professional, and Miss Elisa dared not approach.

What if they look at me halfway through their conversation? I don't understand anything about it!

She immediately turned and left to visit other booths.

If you don't consider the investment, these inventions are quite interesting, only slightly less interesting than the Servant's Diary.

After briefly touring the remaining half of the venue, Elisa encountered the returning male servant.

She opened the logbook and read the technical conversation between the male servant and Susanna.

Simon and Susanna had a pleasant conversation, and through subtle questioning, he confirmed that Susanna had not obtained the finger bone from William, and that another force searching for the finger bone was lying in wait near Susanna.

"...?"

What's going on? Weren't you guys discussing technology? How did William, Finger Bone, and other forces suddenly appear...?

I only looked at the exhibition for a short while, what did I miss?!

Elisa slowly sorted through the information. William was Beth's older brother and Ruth's younger brother; he died at the hands of a spirit baboon.

The "finger bone" is what the Fourth Princess is looking for. Sheldon's butler has one, the spirit baboon has one, and now I have both of them.

Now the valet means that William also has a "finger bone"?

By the way, Sheldon, the butler who possessed the "finger bone," died at the hands of a spirit baboon who also possessed the "finger bone." So, the spirit baboon killing William means... William also possessed or had contact with the "finger bone."

The side effect of the "finger bone" is a desire to aggregate. This side effect once made me look very bad, but the side effect is also a kind of ability. The spirit baboon is hunting down other "finger bone" holders through this aggregation ability.

Then why didn't they come to kill me and the male servant?

Perhaps it was because I couldn't sense it. I threw the "finger bone" into the "Mirror of Mist," and I also have a divine artifact with me.

When the male servant possessed the "finger bone," even I couldn't find where it was hidden, so naturally the spirit baboon couldn't either.

Everything connects!

Susanna was William's patron, and after William's death, the most likely person to possess the "finger bone" besides his family was Susanna.

No wonder the gang was monitoring Beth's family.

Little Beth's house must have been thoroughly searched, so the forces searching for the "finger bone" are mainly targeting Susanna.

Could it be that the evil spirit Susanna encountered last time was the work of that force?

The "Finger Bone" has the ability to become a spirit. If Susanna becomes a spirit, she can eliminate evil spirits. Therefore, by checking whether the evil spirits are still there, one can determine whether Susanna possesses the "Finger Bone".

However, to the surprise of that force, the evil spirit was discovered by the male servant, who then lured Eleanor to deal with it.

They had to try again, and that's how the cat spirit came to be.

This is also why the male servant gave up on exorcising the spirit, as it would alert the enemy.

What a complicated situation! Even in the archipelago, we wouldn't make a story this complicated!

What should we do next? Actually, I think my investment project is more important. Can you put the "finger bone" thing on hold for now?

Let's explore the areas before Chapter 60 later.

By the time we left the second venue, the sun was already high in the sky. The third venue was located at the back gate of the academy. It was a small space that displayed large machinery, but there wasn't anything particularly noteworthy.

Elisa continued to think about what had just happened. Just like that logic puzzle, once the solution was clear, the cause and effect of the "finger bone" incident was also very simple. The difficulty lay in figuring out the solution.

The male servant thinks about these things all day long; no wonder he's so unreliable. People need to relax, and perhaps appreciating beautiful women is the male servant's way of relaxing.

Compared to the rumored nobles, the male servants were quite reserved.

While she was thinking, Elisa saw another message flash on the screen.

"Simon has obtained information about an explorable area. Following the information will unlock that area."

Explorable area? Is it "Simon's Adventure Log"? This feature is finally available?

Is that area related to Susanna and "finger bones"?

Putting this matter aside for the time being, Elisa finished visiting the last venue and turned around.

"What do you think is worth investing in?" she asked Simon and Maria.

Maria shook her head: "I don't understand mechanics, Mr. Simon knows more about them."

“Miss Susanna’s push-button pencils might be good,” Simon replied.

“You have a good eye, I think so too.” Elisa took credit for herself and waved her hand, “Let’s go see Susanna.”

Simon and Maria followed behind her.
