Chapter 57 Interludes
After throwing away everything except clothes, Ernes Boyar froze for a moment, completely awake.
What am I doing? what did I do? The blood baron finally remembered the things that had been deliberately forgotten before, and remembered those green and clear eyes.
Psychological suggestion, no, hypnosis... Ernes Boyar looked around with half resentment and half uncontrollable fear, and instinctively re-examined his situation.
Then his eyes fell on the hill-like figure, and he saw Father Utravsky with sparse and light eyebrows.
In an instant, Ernes Boyar's various thoughts collided with each other, and a strong idea burst out quickly.
He didn't resist, just blurted out:
"I will come here as a volunteer for a month!"
——Emlyn's experience has long been spread in Backlund's blood circle. Ernes Boyar has been famous for Father Utravsky for a long time, and he knows that even if he resists, he will not escape the fate of volunteers. It might as well be more straightforward, voluntarily surrender, and choose conditions that are more beneficial to oneself.
At least you can’t be hinted, and you can’t convert to the "Mother Earth"... Just as Ounes had such a thought, he found that Father Utravsky was holding a lantern in his hand, and there was a stick wrapped in human skin inside. , Exotic candles that highlight pimples.
In the dim candlelight, Ernes' pupils dilated again, leaving only one thought in his mind, which echoed endlessly:
Another psychological hint...
At this moment, he felt that the shadow in his heart was so thick.
"Okay." Father Utravsky nodded, agreeing to Ernes Boyar's request.
Emlyn held back a mixed smile of complacency and joy, and looked at the various items he had just caught, like a farmer who had a good harvest.
…………
On the third floor of a Sieveras-style restaurant in Saint-Herran Square, in a certain box, the light suddenly dimmed, and a large shadow appeared.
Tiny bats flew out of the darkness and quickly gathered together.
Smoke billowed up, and Earl Mistral with pale silver hair and scarlet eyes appeared at the place where the bats had gathered.
Then everything around returned to normal.
His servant, the middle-aged man in a dark suit immediately stepped forward, saluted and asked:
"Your Excellency, are you dining now?"
He couldn't tell from the earl's face whether things were going well or hard, and whether the final result was success or failure, but he didn't dare to ask.
Mistral nodded lightly and said:
"Can."
He walked to the dining table with a calm face, took off the sapphire ring, and sat down without losing his demeanor, as if he just went out to feed the white pigeons just now.
…………
"This taste is rich and peculiar, but it's not bad..." In the box next to Earl Mistral, Klein with an ordinary face was enjoying and commenting on a very Severas-style delicacy—— Haggis.
Although this disciplinary action was a cooperative attempt by several members of the Tarot Society and did not require the intervention of "The World" or even Mister Fool, Klein considered that Miss "Justice" and "Moon" Emlyn either had no similar experience, or Inexperienced, I still quietly came to the vicinity to make the final guarantee.
He had asked the secret puppet to pray to The Fool at the dining table, while he entered the private bathroom of the box, came above the gray fog, and with the help of the corresponding light spots, he expanded his vision to the entire square and the surrounding area.
At the same time, he always holds the "Scepter of Sea God", ready to immediately send lightning from the sky to stop it if he finds something is wrong.
However, he did nothing in the end, and the whole thing went smoother than he expected:
Needless to say, "Star" Leonard with rich combat experience, Miss "Justice" who participated in this kind of thing for the first time unexpectedly behaved beyond his imagination, she was not nervous at all, and showed no signs of panic!
Also, a Sequence 6 of the "spectator" pathway is definitely better than most low-to-middle sequence people of different pathways in controlling their emotions. Even if there is any anxiety, before starting to act, it can be solved by extraordinary ability... Klein He nodded slightly, and continued to taste other delicacies.
Outside the window, on the Saint-Hirlin Square, the sounds of flutes, violins, accordions, and lyres alternated or overlapped, melodious and scattered.
…………
On St. Hirland Square, a rented carriage slowly circled around the edge.
Leonard Mitchell, who was about to return to the north bank of Backlund Bridge, glanced at the white pigeons in the center of the square, and suddenly lowered his voice and said:
"Old man, do you think this operation will succeed in the end?"
After he dragged Ernes Boyar into the dreamland, he flipped through "Leymano's Travel Notes", inspired "Angel's Embrace", and left the scene in a carriage, not knowing whether the follow-up development would be smooth.
In his mind, Pales Zarathustra replied angrily:
"In the Fourth Era, there was a saying: 'Trust in the power of the gods.'"
This means, since this matter has Mister Fool's tacit approval, it must be successful? However, the old man still doesn't know enough about the Tarot Society. Mister Fool is just a witness most of the time, without the so-called acquiescence... Leonard muttered a few words in his heart, and changed the subject:
"Why does this proverb feel unfinished?"
——He did not inform Pallez Zarathustra of the specific situation of the Tarot Society, but only briefly mentioned it, and relayed what Mister Fool agreed to.
Pallez said "Hey":
"Indeed, there is the second half of the sentence, 'Do not trust their mercy'."
Believe in the power of the gods, don't believe in their benevolence... Leonard repeated silently several times, and looked down at the notebook in his hand with a hard, copper-green cover.
He immediately whispered with emotion:
"This is really comparable to a level '1' sealed item, and the solution to the negative effects is also very simple."
Before this action, taking into account that the "Moon" domain also has some dark powers, Extraordinary of this path will have a strong ability to resist the effects of nightmares at a certain level, Leonard originally wanted to directly report to "The World" Klein. Moretti borrowed it from "Squirming Hunger", but in the follow-up discussion, Miss "Magician" mentioned the characteristics of this "Leymano Travel Notebook", which gave him a better choice.
Therefore, he, who was in charge of using "Angel's Embrace", borrowed "Squirming Hunger" from Klein for three hours, and recorded several useful Extraordinary abilities, including "bribery-weakening".
"This is something from the Abraham family." Pallez Zoroaster said with a sigh.
Leonard knew it a long time ago, nodded invisibly, and then asked:
"Old man, do you have a way to weaken or control the negative effects of the magical item I mentioned earlier?"
"Can that be called a magical item? It's something that needs to be sealed!" Pallez first taught Leonard a lesson, and then said, "Didn't you say that it has the characteristic of being alive? That is relatively easy to solve."
Leonard relaxed, and turned his gaze out of the window again, admiring the St. Hirland Cathedral, which has some characteristics very close to the factory.
…………
On Paisfield Street in the North District, where St. Samuel's Church is located, at the entrance of the "Luen Charity Scholarship Fund".
After changing her clothes, Audrey stepped out of the carriage like an ordinary girl.
——She had already removed her paper boy disguise in the hotel room prepared in advance, and that room was booked by Emlyn, and had nothing to do with her.
At this time, there were several people coming and going at the door of the "Luen Charity Scholarship Fund", but Audrey walked over without any scruples.
No one looked at her, as if she lived in another world.
Audrey briskly walked through the hall, went up to the second floor, and walked to her director's office. Everyone she met along the way seemed to be playing games with her, pretending not to see her, not surprised What is a strange girl doing here.
At the door of the office, Audrey was about to open the door and enter when she suddenly heard a familiar voice inside:
"Miss Audrey, this is the total amount of donations you have collected this week..."
The corners of Audrey's mouth couldn't help but slightly turned up, she pushed the half-closed door lightly, and walked in.
In the office, a staff member was holding a stack of documents and showing them to the person behind the desk.
The one behind the desk is a big golden retriever dog with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses hanging around its neck.
It sat on the director's seat, casually flipped through the documents, and said to the staff:
"no problem."
The staff immediately took back the documents, and smiled at the golden retriever dog:
"Then I'm going out, Miss Audrey."
Audrey behind her suppressed her smile, walked to the sofa next to her and sat down, watched her leave quietly, without disturbing the golden retriever to read other documents.
Susie carefully read all kinds of materials, fearing that something wrong with her performance would affect Audrey's affairs.
After a while, she suddenly looked around suspiciously:
"Audrey, are you back?"
"How did you find out?" Audrey stood up from the sofa and appeared in Susie's eyes.
For this operation, she had a special communication with Susie, and asked her to work in the "Luen Charity Scholarship Fund" instead of her. Then, leading the golden retriever dog, she hypnotized everyone who would come into contact with her within a day. Those staff members, let them treat Susie as Audrey.
As for the possible visitors, she told the staff that there will be no visitors until the afternoon.
And the signal for the release of the hypnosis this time is the church bell at two o'clock in the afternoon.
After seeing Audrey, Susie jumped off the seat and said helplessly:
"It's almost two o'clock."
Also... Audrey made a face to herself in her heart, hurried into the small room where she was resting, changed into her own clothes, and used Lie's ability to manipulate flames to burn off the previous disguise.
Back in the office and sitting in her own seat, she completely relaxed, clasped her hands, and pressed her lips lightly.
Frankly speaking, she has been very nervous, but before and after the action, she managed to "comfort" herself, and nothing went wrong.
Looking back now, it was quite interesting, and we also discussed how to compensate those affected... Audrey, well done! On the face of the beautiful blonde girl, the smile gradually brightened.
After this incident, she found that her "Hypnotist" potion had digested a lot, and she also confirmed one thing, that is, the "bribery-charm" that comes with the magical item "Hand of Fear" Ability, perfectly matched with her "hypnosis"!
Well, I also found out that Mr. "Moon" is called Emlyn White... He didn't want to hide it, because he must tell me, otherwise the goal would not be achieved... Hmm, or the name of the church is fine, but This will also expose his identity... I was still a little nervous, I was too stiff during the hypnosis, and I actually used the words "the first stage of hypnosis" that were too direct... Audrey "pacified" herself a little Excited, I carefully examined the entire process of today's action, hoping to learn from it.
when! when!
The hour bell of St. Samuel's Church rang to signify the arrival of two o'clock in the afternoon.
In No. 22 Pacefield Street, where the "Luen Charity and Student Fund" is located, several staff members trembled slightly after hearing the bell, and immediately continued to busy themselves with their own affairs as if nothing happened.
…………
when! when!
While the church bells were ringing, Klein, who had reverted to the appearance of Dwayne Dantès, once again walked to the large balcony at No. 160 Boklund Street, looking at the situation of Macht's house.
At this time, a carriage passed the gate of his mansion and drove to the other side of the street.
All of a sudden, Klein's intuitive premonition was touched, and a picture appeared in his mind:
A gray mouse was lying on the window of the carriage, looking at the scenery on the street leisurely.
