Chapter 24 The Gift of Fundraising
After walking a distance from Ernes Boyar in a daze, Emlyn gradually planned to give up.
He glanced at the growing rain outside the arcade, and couldn't help but think:
"How should Ernes be punished? Although he should have followed orders or hints, it's still disgusting!
"As for Lord Nibais... I don't have that ability now, wait for me, wait for me to become a marquis or duke, I will definitely make him pay the price!
"Miss 'Magician' has already completed the exploration of the abandoned castle, and I don't know if she has been monitored by the blood clan sent by Lord Nebais... Judging from her tone, description and the feedback given by Mister Fool, Probably not... Could it be that Master Nibais didn’t send blood to go around the castle? But why is there a need to test it? Or, because of some problems, he missed it?”
Amidst his thoughts, Emlyn felt that he should find someone to discuss how to punish Ernes Boyar. He really lacked similar experience.
Subconsciously, the first candidate that came to his mind was "The Hanged Man". This senior member of the Tarot Society was experienced and reliable in various matters, and never let the rest of the members down.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Emlyn self-denied this choice, because it involved mutual testing within the blood race, and disclosing it to the members of the Tarot Society before the results came out would damage his pride and the overall image of the blood race!
For the same reason, he ruled out The World as a candidate.
Of course, he felt that he should be able to guess what advice The World would give:
kill!
There's no need to do this to this extent... Emlyn muttered in his heart, and while walking aimlessly behind Ernes Boyar, he expanded the candidates for discussion to the real world.
Then, he finds that he doesn't have many targets to choose from, and he has few friends.
After excluding his parents who were also of blood race, there were only two people he could consider, one was Father Utravsky of the Harvest Church, and the other was Sherlock Moriarty, a great detective with many mysterious methods.
"Sherlock left Backlund and hasn't returned yet. Hey, I can only find the priest tomorrow, but I can't say it so directly..." Emlyn quickly made a decision, walked over Ernes Boyar who had entered the watch shop, and walked towards At the end of the arcade, there are several rental carriages waiting.
After getting into the carriage, feeling the rotation of the wheels, Emlyn casually turned his gaze to the window, and saw more and more raindrops hitting the glass densely, dragging traces one after another toward the bottom.
In his blurred vision, a carriage drove past.
…………
Audrey withdrew her gaze from the rainy scene outside the carriage window, glanced at the personal maid Anne, and communicated silently with Susie who was squatting beside her.
She said with eyes, expressions and inconspicuous body movements:
Almost home, a little nervous.
Susie shook her tail, raised her paws, and fiddled with the gold-rimmed glasses hanging from her lower neck. Combining the color changes of the etheric body and mental body, she expressed her own meaning:
Don't worry too much, that Ms. Islant, who appears to be a psychiatrist but actually only has the level of "mind reader", can't see through your lies.
Audrey nodded slightly, watching the carriage drive into Hall's luxurious villa and stop in front of the sheltered entrance hall.
Since joining the "Luen Charity and Student Fund", she spent less and less time at home during the day. She originally planned to meet Ms. Escalante from the Psychological Alchemy Society at No. 22 Paisfield Street in the North District, but since Dawn Mr. Dantès has gone to the Southern Continent and is not in the Foundation, so there is no need for that.
In the study room that belonged to her alone, Audrey saw Ms. Escalante Osisleika with waist-length black hair and a baby face.
"I'm sorry, after returning to Backlund, I have been busy gathering with my friends, and later joined the 'Luen Charity and Student Fund',
I haven't seen you until today. After leaving Susie outside the door, Audrey saluted gracefully, showing her attitude.
This was actually done on purpose by her, and it dragged on for almost a month. In this way, after she digested the "Psychologist" potion, her promotion to "Hypnotist" seemed reasonable, and it was a genius rather than a problematic progress. .
Escalante replied indifferently:
"I've heard that you work for children who are thirsty for knowledge. Your virtues are brighter than diamonds."
Audrey motioned for the other party to sit down, walked to the single sofa, and said "hmm":
"The situation of those children is something I have never seen in the past. There is always a voice in my heart urging me to do something. Ms. Islant, if you are free, you can come with me and 'Ruen Charity Student' The Foundation's staff went to different schools to see the situation of most children in the world."
Having said that, she chuckled lightly, as if mocking herself:
"Sorry, I've always been used to talking about this topic recently, because I want more nobles and rich people to participate in this kind of charity, donate more money, and help more children."
After listening to Audrey's words, Escalante responded slightly uncomfortably:
"I will do this, and I will also donate some money to the 'Luen Charity and Student Fund'."
"No, I don't want to force you to donate. It must be an absolutely voluntary act from the heart. I just hope you can go and have a look, and then inform the people around you about the situation of those children and their possible future, including psychological Members of the Alchemy Society." Audrey shook her head and rejected Escalante's proposal.
"Okay." Escalante nodded slightly in agreement at first, and then felt an inexplicable sense of absurdity in this matter:
Miss Audrey's real intention seems to be to solicit donations from the Psychological Alchemists.
But this is a secret and extraordinary underground organization!
This is no different from raising donations from the Aurora Society!
Audrey did not discuss the "Luen Charity Student Fund" anymore, but said:
"Ms. Escalante, I have something to tell you."
"What?" Escalante "read" the meaning of solemnity, joy and pride from the other party's emotions and actions.
Audrey smiled lightly and said:
"I have become a 'hypnotist'."
"..." At this moment, Escalante suspected that he had been hypnotized by the other party.
Although she knew that Miss Audrey had obtained the "Hypnotist" potion formula before, how long has it been?
"You should be able to confirm that I am not lying." Audrey said with a slight smile.
Only then did Escalante come back to her senses, and asked in surprise and doubt:
"You seem to have an unusual encounter?"
"It's just the courage to apply it." Audrey said words that couldn't be more true.
Islant frowned slightly, hesitated and said:
"You want the potion formula for Sequence 5?"
"Yes, what do I need to do, or what do I have to pay?" Audrey didn't hide her purpose.
Escalante glanced at the blond and blue-eyed beautiful lady opposite, and said after deliberation:
"It's not something I can decide. I will report it and arrange for you to meet Hilbert and Stephen as soon as possible."
She was referring to psychologist and jewelry designer Hilbert Alucard and furniture dealer Stephen Hampres.
Obviously, among their group of Psychology Alchemists, Escalante was in a subordinate position.
Audrey was not surprised by Escalante's reaction, but this does not mean that the other party's handling was correct:
A Sequence 6 Extraordinary who aspires to be promoted is a member worthy of attention in any secret organization, even in the Orthodox Church, and is qualified to meet directly with high-level people!
In other words, after being promoted to "Hypnotist", Audrey has already belonged to the elite in the middle level of the Psychology Alchemy Society, and her next goal is to become a quasi-high-level person. Albert and Stephen et al.
As thoughts flickered, Audrey deliberately released a little displeasure.
Escalante keenly caught this signal and quickly explained:
"Meeting with Hilbert and Stephen is to confirm your status, and after that, a member of the committee will talk to you.
"Actually, at your current position, you were supposed to lead a group and develop members down, but your identity, status and daily environment made us cancel this plan, worrying that it would affect your normal life."
Committee members... I don't know how many members there are in the review group of the Psychological Alchemy Association in Backlund... Could it be that royal advisor, Mr. Hvin Rambis? Audrey nodded thoughtfully and said:
"I can understand, and I will wait for your arrangement."
She immediately changed the subject, turned her eyes slightly and asked curiously:
"Ms. Escalante, do you know what the Sequence 5 potion of the 'spectator' pathway is called?"
Seeing the blond-haired blue-eyed noble lady in front of her unconsciously showing a girlish attitude, Escalante breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"I once heard Hilbert mention it once, called 'Dream Walker'."
"Dream Walker"... This is a bit different from what I imagined, or this "dream" is just a reference, and the accurate term should be subconscious walker? Audrey didn't hide that she was thinking and analyzing, and then turned the topic to various knowledge in the field of psychology.
After staying in Islant for dinner, she escorted the lady out of the hall and into the carriage.
At this time, the night outside was dark, the wind was howling, and the rain was splashing.
…………
Amidst the splashing rain, howling wind and deep darkness, a passenger ship with a hybrid power of sail and steam was driving in the safe channel of the stormy sea.
Klein has left the Southern Continent and returned to Disci Bay in the form of Dwayne Dantès.
While the ship was swaying, he suddenly woke up, turned over and got out of bed, walked to the window of the first-class living room, and looked out.
In the deep night where the raindrops were flying randomly, a huge three-masted sailing ship covered with pure black sailed quietly.
There are horse lanterns hanging on both sides of it, nearly a hundred meters long, and three black canvases hanging on it.
And on the deck, with the back against the cabin, stood a mottled stone chair two or three meters high, and no one was seated at this time.
This is the "Dark Emperor", which is the symbol of "King of the Five Seas" Nast, the "Dark Emperor"!
