Chapter 44: Individual Efforts
Latest website: Thursday night, the ball at Earl Hall's house arrived first. Abner complied with the expectations of the new party members and arrived on time with Hugh.
Of course, Xio became the "protagonist" of the ball, and was surrounded by many "attentive" parliamentarians and nobles.
in the middle.
But Abner, who originally thought he was just a "tool man", was greeted by Earl Hall in person.
The two had a great time chatting. They fully exchanged opinions on everything from the film and television projects they were working on to the current situation in the kingdom, and verbally reached several cooperations involving large amounts of money. It was not until the first dance started that they stopped communicating and each looked for a dance partner. Entered the dance floor.
By this time, Abner had figured out through various hints in Earl Hall's words and commercial concessions that he had other purposes besides winning over himself as the Queen's "confidant".
It turned out that after Intis also joined the war, Earl Hall had hidden concerns about the prospects of the Loen Kingdom, so now he had begun to quietly arrange a retreat.
And although Abner is a noble of Loen, and now he has been promoted to the Queen's confidant, he seems to be bound to Loen... But in fact, this is not the case.
According to Earl Hall's knowledge, Abner Brain is the favored one of the Earth Mother Goddess. Even if Fusac really captures Loen, his title will not be deprived of him.
In addition, Abner has a very close relationship with the Surrey family and the Sauron family of Intis. Once Luen falls in the future, Viscount Beldan will be the best "middleman" and is naturally worth winning over.
What's even better is that even if you establish a good relationship with Abner now, it will not be considered treason, it will not attract scrutiny from the intelligence community, and it will not be misunderstood by the church.
After understanding Earl Hall's thoughts, although Abner looked down upon the "wisdom" of ordinary people, he also knew that the other party's choice was actually not a problem from his standpoint.
So he directly invited "Backlund's most dazzling jewel" Miss Audrey for the first dance to signal that Earl Hall understood his plan.
Audrey also wanted to ask Mr. "Ta" about something. Seeing that her father did not object, she did not refuse and readily agreed... This made many young gentlemen around her feel sad.
Of course, Xio licked her lips dissatisfied, then picked up a glass of red wine and drank it.
"Mr. Brain, is it convenient for us to talk now?" Audrey danced lightly while speaking.
step.
"No problem, others will only hear what I want them to know." Abner responded with a smile.
Audrey breathed a sigh of relief, and then composed the following sentence: "I wonder if you have any way to quickly digest the 'Dream Walker'?"
"Yes..." Abner nodded slightly and continued while holding Miss Justice in a circle, "As long as you
If you are lucky enough, you can experience various types of dreams in a short period of time to help you digest the magic potion. "
"How can I get enough 'lucky'?" Audrey pointed to the core of the problem.
At this time, the first dance had just ended. While sending Audrey back to her previous position, Abner took out a paper crane and handed it to her, whispered a few words, and then hurriedly walked towards Then I picked up another glass of "Olmir".
--The "luck" he accumulated was given to Klein a few days ago, so he can only trouble "Little Snake" Will
...
Of course, this was not the main reason. What was more important was that he had to try his best to appease Xio to prevent her from breaking up the house after drinking!
At night, in the luxurious villa of Earl Hall's family.
Audrey returned to the bedroom and took out the paper crane she got from Abner.
She recalled what the other party said, picked up a thinly sharpened pencil, and wrote on the surface of the paper crane:
"Abner Brain, please meet with me."
After completing the preparations, Audrey followed Mr. "Tower"'s instructions, placed the paper crane under her pillow, and lay down to sleep.
Soon, she saw a dark and desolate plain, and as a timid
The "Dream Walker" who had done self-suggestion before, she stayed awake and walked towards the black spire in the center of the plain with strong curiosity.
As soon as she arrived at her destination, Audrey was suddenly inspired. She raised her head and looked at the top of the spire.
I don't know when a silver-white giant snake had coiled up there.
This giant snake has no scales, and its body is covered with symbols and patterns. They form wheels that are connected to each other and have different logos.
At this time, the giant snake was looking at Audrey with its bright red and cold eyes, and said in a low voice:
"What's going on with Abner Brain?"
This is the "Destiny" path angel under Mr. "Fool" who gave Ms. "Hermit" a drop of blood.
Right? Audrey controlled her thoughts, looked at the giant snake calmly, and truthfully stated her request.
The silver-white giant snake looked down at Audrey, opened its blood-red mouth and said: 'This is not a problem, but you have to pay a corresponding price!"
Audrey had already expected this and nodded slightly: "I wonder what you need?"
The silver-white giant snake swam upward in a circle, and one-third of its body stood up:
"There's a little thing you need to do.
"Well, I have a loved one who is an outstanding gourmet. He has a wish. He wants to taste the ice cream from various noble families and judge the most delicious one."
...This request... Mr. Snake, er, maybe Ms. Snake, is so kind to his beloved... His tone sounded like he couldn't wait... ..But this seems too simple, right? Audrey said thoughtfully:
"no problem.
"But how do I give him the ice cream?"
The giant silver snake twisted slowly and said:
"It's enough to sacrifice to my 'favorite'.
"His honorific name is, the embodiment of luck, the monster who predicts the future, the scourge that spreads misfortune, the witness of all Backlund's fates, the guardian of chaos and madness."
There are some differences between this honorary name and the normal Sequence 3 honorary name. In the end, there is no name... Audrey rolled her eyes slightly, said nothing, and nodded in agreement.
In the bedroom of the villa at No. 28 Kingston Street, after comforting the drunken Hugh and putting her to sleep, Abner finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling even more tired than "playing games" with Amon.
Glancing at Forsi who was gloating about his misfortune, Abner narrowed his eyes and asked with a smile: "Did you say before that as long as you go to a few more special worlds that are different from reality," Traveler, Demon Can the medicine be completely digested?"
"Yes..." Forsi nodded subconsciously, then suddenly thought of something, and spoke with some "fear"
Asked, "Where do you want to take me?"
"Don't be afraid..." These are some places that you are sure to like very much and can help you digest the potion!"
For some reason, Forsi always felt that Abner's smile was a little "weird".
