Chapter 106 Audrey's "Adventure"

Queens, in Earl Hall's luxurious villa.

This was supposed to be time for piano practice, but Audrey was still sitting in front of the dressing table, thinking about how to read and memorize Roselle's diary in the evening.

Suddenly, her surroundings became hazy, and boundless gray and white mist gushed out.

In the center of the gray mist stands the figure of "The Fool", who is listening to the prayer of a man who is so blurred that he can't see clearly:

"... pray for some help;"

"Pray that someone will help me get to that bookmark tucked in Russell's creative manuscript;"

...

How did Mister Fool know that I would visit the Roselle Memorial Exhibition after the museum closed today, and have the opportunity to come into contact with some things... Audrey listened in a daze, although she was surprised, she didn't find it strange:

With Mister Fool's personality and ability, it is still very easy to master such a trivial matter!

As for how to master it, ordinary sequencers don't need to understand it.

Audrey was about to respond, when "The Fool" said in a low and flat voice:

"You can choose to accept this entrustment, or not."

Uh... Audrey pondered for two seconds and said:

"Dear Mister Fool, I can give it a try, but I don't guarantee success."

She is actually not very interested in the minimum reward of only 500 pounds. The reason why she accepts this task is that she is curious about what is so special about the bookmark left by Emperor Roselle, which makes Mister Fool's favored person so special. It is so important that it offers a price that is not capped.

Anyway, I was going to look through Roselle's diary today, just by the way... Audrey thought spontaneously.

"The Fool" Klein in the gray mist nodded slightly, and replied with a word:

"it is good."

After the illusion completely disappeared, Audrey turned her gaze to the vanity mirror, seemingly seriously examining herself inside.

She was nervous,

And excitedly made plans for the evening action:

"Cannot be detected as abnormal."

"Afterwards, if Mister Fool's followers do anything, I can't be the focus of suspicion."

"It's definitely not enough to only touch that bookmark. Once it is lost, all eyes will be on me."

"Hmm...so, I have to show the same interest and attitude towards all the items, so that others can't see that my main purpose is the bookmark. The whole process should be soft, unobtrusive, reasonable and logical."

"How do you cause small, unnoticed damage?"

"That's just a bookmark..."

Audrey glanced over the utensils placed on the dressing table without focus, and suddenly froze on the open jewelry box, and froze on a pair of gemstone earrings decorated with fine needles.

The corners of her mouth turned up a little bit, her eyebrows and eyes were slightly bent, and she said to herself:

"With Susie's help, it should be enough..."

…………

At six o'clock in the evening, Backlund, where it was difficult to see the sun in the current season, was completely dark, and the gas street lamps were turned on one after another.

The Kingdom Museum saw off the last group of ordinary visitors, but ushered in a visitor group composed of noble people such as the lady of the earl, the child of the duke, and the young viscount.

Knowing that some noble children are dandies who often get into trouble, Max Livermore, the captain of the "Mechanical Heart" west team who is in charge of guarding the memorial exhibition, had to pretend to be a security guard and always follow him to prevent accidents.

His hair was combed back neatly, he wore a monocle, and he looked as refined as a university professor.

The monocle is actually a sealed item, code-named "3-1328", nicknamed "Crystal Eye", through it, Max Livermore can directly see spirit bodies, see ghosts, see shadows, and no longer be afraid Extraordinary people use these things that are normally difficult to find to mess with or steal.

Of course, this sealed item also has obvious disadvantages, that is, it is easy to attract monsters such as Wraith Shadow to the vicinity, and if it is worn for a long time, the vision will be irreversibly reduced.

"In the gloom of Backlund, she is like the bright sun..." At this moment, Max was looking at the blond girl on the side with admiration.

Audrey looked at the toilet inlaid with gold leaf and carved with complicated patterns with great interest, and asked the explainer beside him:

"Is this the first flush toilet in the modern sense?"

"Yes, I personally think that this is one of Russell's outstanding contributions to human civilization. It and its supporting sewer project have changed the phenomenon that Trier's streets are full of, oh, the streets are full of dirty things. "The commentator originally wanted to say the word "shit", but when he looked at the girl in front of him, he felt that he couldn't lose his elegant posture.

Audrey thought about it and asked again:

"Can I touch it?"

"Is it still working?"

Viscount Glaint laughed beside him and said:

"Why are you so curious about this? No matter how old it is, it's still just a toilet."

The rest of the noble children who had a good friendship with them laughed out loud.

"No, Greint, you don't understand, this is the brilliance of human civilization." Audrey responded with a smile, making a puking expression in her heart.

If it wasn't for fulfilling the commission of Mister Fool's family, I wouldn't want to do this either... She sighed helplessly.

The lecturer echoed:

"Miss Hall said it very well. The brilliance of human civilization is not only reflected in cannons and guns and other weapons that have changed the form of warfare, but also shines in every detail of our lives."

"My dear lady, I don't know if it can still be used normally, because no one will use it."

The commentator glanced at Max Livermore while talking, and after getting a positive nod, he continued:

"You can touch it, even open the tank and look at the mechanics inside, but be careful."

"Thank you." Audrey watched the security personnel open the glass wall, took two steps forward, stretched out her right palm wearing a white tulle glove, and carefully touched the pump button.

Then, she stepped back slowly, smiled and said:

"Okay, that's it, I have satisfied my curiosity, and I can't hurt it anymore."

She always remembers that her character set this time is a naive and curious girl.

After reading this, they entered the exhibition hall with Roselle's diary.

After the half-circle introduction, Audrey asked again:

"Can I have a look at this notebook? We're all interested in these strange symbols."

"Uh... I heard that paper over a certain age will be damaged even if it touches the air, let alone touching it directly. It shouldn't work, right?"

She blinked, letting her beautiful gem-like eyes express sincerity, longing, and a little bit of disappointment.

The commentator glanced at Max Livermore again, and only smiled after the other party replied:

"The church has adopted a special preservation method to make the paper as it was produced a few years ago, and, even if there is no such method, we will try our best to meet your requirements, but you may need to change the environment and change your clothes , and go through a more stringent process.”

"You can turn it over, but don't take too long, don't force it."

Audrey's eyes suddenly lit up, making it impossible to look away.

After sincerely thanking her, she opened the glass cover together with Viscount Glaint and other occultists, and carefully flipped through the notebook.

Audrey tried her best to remember, but because those symbols were too complicated, what she could remember in a short period of time was quite limited.

"There are almost two pages in total. I wonder if there is a way to print a copy..." Her thoughts diverged, and she gave up her seat to a companion on the periphery.

In this way, each of her exhibition halls made a request to appreciate something carefully, and she basically got it.

Stopping and stopping, they came to the restored study.

Audrey maintained the previous state, asking a few questions from time to time, fully showing her curiosity.

When the narrator introduced the "creative manuscript", she spoke with bright eyes:

"Can I flip through it? I want to see what the great inventor Russell's manuscript looks like and what wonderful ideas it contains."

"No problem, beautiful Miss Hall, honorable Viscount Greint, you can all look through it, heh, if any of you is a devout believer of the church, you can even apply for a rubbing copy. "The narrator replied according to Max's hint.

As a believer of the goddess, Audrey could only respond with a slight smile, and it was inconvenient to speak.

At the same time, she pretended to brush her hair, stretched out her palm to touch her right ear, and quietly took off the earring.

Immediately afterwards, the glass covering the desk was opened. Audrey took a step forward, pressed the manuscript, pulled out the bookmark pretending to be inadvertent, and flipped a page at random.

At this moment, Susie, who got her hint, suddenly called out from another direction:

"Woof! Woah! Woah!"

Everyone's eyes were immediately attracted to it, and Audrey lowered her arm, stabbed the bookmark with the earring in her palm, and silently recited the phrase "Pirate King" in her heart, once in Hermes, and once again in ancient times. Hermes.

The sharp needle-like decoration touched the surface of the bookmark, and just as it was about to go deep and penetrate to the other side, Audrey immediately felt strong and illusory resistance.

Abnormal resistance!

This resistance disappeared in a flash, and the "thin needle" made a small mark, almost piercing through.

"It's really responsive! It's really weird!" Audrey's eyes narrowed, and she didn't dare to try again. She raised her hand and put the bookmark on the table.

Then, she looked at Susie, and calmly ordered the maid Annie:

"Well...you take it to the bathroom."

"Yes, Miss." Annie hurriedly led Susie out of the exhibition hall.

when!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Audrey threw the earrings in her hand to the ground, then turned her head and said:

"Sorry, my earring fell off."

Another maid hurriedly approached, picked up the earrings, and helped her put them on.

This episode passed in a blink of an eye, and everyone's attention returned to the manuscript. After they had flipped through it, "Security Officer" Max Livermore hurriedly put the bookmark in and closed the glass cover again.

In the next few exhibition halls, Audrey was still very interested, just like before, without showing any abnormalities.

After leaving the museum and returning home, she took the opportunity to recite the honorable name of "The Fool" and reported the outcome of the matter:

"...I have damaged that bookmark a little according to your family's request."

"It, it has abnormal reactions."
