Lord of the Mysteries

Chapter 112 Azik's Explanation

Backlund, Queens District.

Audrey Hall sat on the hanging chair in a shady corner, looking at the clumps of flowers in full bloom under the sun, thinking about the matter that Fors Wall asked for help.

According to Viscount Greint's verification, there really was a girl named Hugh Dilcha who was imprisoned in the temporary prison in Backlund's North District.

She was charged with so grievously wounding a respectable gentleman in a property dispute that he remains in a hospital bed, perhaps never to rise again.

Regarding this, Forsi's explanation was that that gentleman was not a good person. He was the gang leader in Backlund's East District and made a living on loan sharks.

The cause of the incident was that a certain borrower found that the interest rate was several times higher than he had expected, and he could not repay even if he went bankrupt. After negotiating with the gentleman to no avail, he found a well-known nearby "arbitrator" Hugh. . Dilcha, I hope she can persuade the other party to dispense with the unreasonable part.

That gentleman did not obey Hugh Dilcha's "judgment", and even threatened to take away the borrower's wife and children that night, so Hugh Dilcha changed his persuasion techniques and used physical means. Serious injury can result from being careful.

Viscount Glaint investigated what happened and confirmed that Fors Wall's description was true. He also confirmed that the gang leader had lost control of his subordinates and exempted the borrower after someone's "visit" in the middle of the night. The debt, issued a statement to the prosecutor to forgive Hugh Dilcha, but the serious injury case is not that the victim will not be prosecuted if he does not want to pursue it.

"Grelint hoped to solve it in a normal way, and sent someone to consult with a familiar barrister. The other party said that he was sure that it would be a light sentence, but the difficulty of defending innocence is very high, unless the client has mental problems or mental retardation. A sound medical certificate..." Audrey said silently to herself, leaning towards her friend's opinion.

For her, the most important thing is not to have a superficial relationship with Fors Wall and Hugh Dilcha - after the "Tarot Society" incident, Audrey felt that she was no longer naive Clueless girl.

"There will be a dance at Earl Wolfe's house tomorrow night, then tell Greint and follow the barrister's advice." Audrey nodded slightly and made a decision.

In the Kingdom of Loen, lawyers are divided into barristers and solicitors. The latter is responsible for matters that do not need to go to court, such as collecting evidence, talking with the parties, helping people draw up wills, supervising property distribution, and providing legal consulting services. Of course , they can also represent the client before the first level of the magistrates' court and plead simple cases.

And barristers are lawyers who study evidence and defend their clients in court. According to the laws of the Kingdom of Loen, they must maintain an objective attitude.

Therefore, they cannot contact the parties directly, and can only collect information through assistants, that is, solicitors. Each of them is a real legal expert with outstanding eloquence and a very high level of debate.

Audrey, who had regained her ease, looked at the colorful flowers outside with a posture of hiding in the darkness and peeking at the light, and suddenly thought of one thing:

"Medical certificate for mental problems or mental retardation... a psychiatrist..."

"If the Psychological Alchemists have mastered the 'acting method', does that mean that they can be found among the psychiatrists?"

Thinking of this, Audrey felt that her thinking was extremely correct, and her eyes were as bright as bright gems.

At this moment, she saw Susie, the golden retriever dog, sneaking behind the clumps of flowers in a sneaky manner, to a place that only gardeners could reach.

"Susie... what is it going to do?" Audrey hid in the shadows, staring blankly.

The golden retriever dog seemed to be confused by the smell of flowers, and didn't notice the owner behind him. It opened its mouth and let out a "ahhhhhh" and "yahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" sound like hanging its throat.

Immediately afterwards, it made the surrounding air vibrate, and the jerky and not round words sounded:

"Hello."

"How are you?"

...

Audrey opened her mouth a little bit, completely forgetting the etiquette that an elegant lady should have. She couldn't believe the scene she saw and the stiff voice she heard.

She stood up abruptly and blurted out:

"Susie, can you talk? When did you talk?"

The golden retriever jumped up in fright, and turned to face its owner.

It frantically and quickly wagged its tail, opened and closed its mouth several times before shaking the surrounding air:

"I……"

"I don't know how to explain it, I'm just a dog after all."

Hearing these words, Audrey was speechless for a moment.

…………

On Monday morning, Klein, who was on vacation, reviewed and consolidated his knowledge of occultism according to the scheduled plan, and then took a public carriage to Hoy University.

He wants to get in touch with Mr. Ards more to see what the other party knows.

In the small three-story graystone building belonging to the Department of History, Klein chatted with his mentor, Cohen Quentin, for a while, exchanging matters related to the ancient ruins of the main peak of Hornages.

With no extra gains, he took advantage of the opportunity of his tutor to go to work, entered the office diagonally opposite, and walked to the desk of the left-behind teacher Azik.

"Mr. Ards, can I have a chat with you?" He looked at the teacher with bronze complexion, soft features, and a small mole under his right ear, and he took off his hat and saluted.

Azik, whose brown eyes hide an indescribable sense of vicissitudes, sorted out the book and said:

"No problem, let's go for a walk by the Hoey River."

"Okay." Klein carried his cane and followed him out of the three-story graystone building.

Along the way, both of them remained silent, and no one spoke.

When the flowing river came into view, and when there were no more teachers and students around, Azik paused, turned his body halfway, and said to Klein:

"Is there anything you want from me?"

Klein pondered for a long time, thinking of many tactful ways, but gave up all of them.

So he asked frankly and directly:

"Mr. Azik, you are a trustworthy and respectable gentleman. I want to know what you have seen from me, or what do you know? I mean the last time, you said I There is something incongruous about the fate of the people."

Azik nodded his cane, sighed and said with a smile:

"I didn't expect you to be so direct, so I don't know how to answer."

"Frankly speaking, the incongruity of your fate is the only thing I can see, and other than that, I don't know any more than you do."

Klein hesitated and asked:

"But why can you see it? I don't believe it comes from divination."

Azik looked sideways at the Hoy River, and his tone was a bit bleak:

"No, Klein, you don't understand. Divination can be done to this extent. It just depends on who is doing the divination. Of course, my divination is just an excuse to cover up."

"...Some people are always special, born with some strange abilities, and I should be such a person."

"Should?" Klein keenly grasped the problem with the other party's words.

"Yes, I don't know if I was born with it. Maybe the price of that ability is to forget myself, the past, and my parents." Azik stared at the river with a slightly sad look.

The more Klein listened, the more confused he became:

"Forget the past?"

Azik smiled without a smile and said:

"Before I entered the History Department of Backlund University, I lost most of my memory. I only remembered my name and basic knowledge. Fortunately, I have an identity certificate, otherwise I would only be a homeless man. For so many years, I have searched for my parents based on their identification, but nothing has been found, even if I can see a corner of fate."

"And during those few years in college, I gradually discovered that I possessed some strange abilities, abilities beyond the scope of common sense."

Klein listened very intently, and blurted out:

"Mr. Azik, why did you lose your memory? No, what I mean is, did you find the reason for your memory loss at the scene?"

He suspects that Mr. Ards is a member of the life school with amnesia, or even a member of the mid-sequence with no low status-this is the counterpart of the "monster", a secret organization that has produced "prophets", and mainly passes on from master to student.

Ards shook his head heavily:

"No, it seems that after sleeping, I forget the past."

Holding his cane, he took a few steps forward and said as he walked:

"After leaving Backlund, I started to dream and dreamed many strange things..."

Dream? I'm good at interpreting dreams! Klein, who entered the professional field, immediately asked:

"What kind of dream is it?"

Azik smiled vaguely:

"Many, many different dreams. Sometimes, I dream about the dark interior of the mausoleum. I dream of ancient coffins. The corpses inside are lying on their stomachs, with white feathers growing out of their backs. Sometimes, I dream Seeing that I am a knight in full body armor, holding a three-meter long spear, I rushed towards the enemy."

"Sometimes I dream that I am a lord with a rich manor, a beautiful wife and three children. Sometimes I dream that I am a tramp, walking on a muddy road in the rain, cold and cold. hungry."

"Sometimes, I dream that I have a daughter, a daughter who is different from the previous children. She has smooth black hair, likes to sit on the swing I made by myself, and always asks for candy from me. Sometimes, I dreamed that I was standing by the gallows, looking coldly at the floating corpses above..."

Listening to Azik's babbling, Klein found that he couldn't interpret the dream of the other party, because the symbols of different dreams were opposite and contradictory!

Azik retracted his gaze, and his voice no longer drifted:

"The Fenepot Kingdom in the south believes in the Goddess of the Earth, and the Church of the Goddess of the Earth promotes a concept. They believe that every life is a 'plant', which absorbs the nutrients of the earth and grows, prospers and decays slowly."

"When they wither, these lives will fall into the earth and return to the mother's embrace. In the next year, they will grow again, and the flowers will bloom and fall. Year after year, life is like this, life after life."

"Sometimes, I am willing to believe this statement, and believe that because of my own speciality, I can dream of the previous life, and the fragments of the previous life."

Having said that, he looked at Klein and sighed:

"I haven't even told Cohen about these things. The reason why I tell you is because I..."

Azik paused and smiled:

"Sorry, my description just now was not accurate enough. The incongruity in your fate is not the only thing I can see. I also see another thing."

"Klein, you are no longer a normal person. You have extraordinary and strange abilities, just like me."
