Lord of the Mysteries v5c24

Chapter 24 Talent of Donation for the Dead
After a vague distance from Ernest Boyar, Emlin gradually had the intention to give up.
He took a glance at the increasing rain outside the arcade and thought hard to contain:
"How can we punish Ernest? Although he should have followed orders or hints to do so, it's still disgusting! _____________
"As for Lord Nibbas... I don't have that ability now. Wait for me. When I become a marquis or a duke, I'm sure it will cost him!
"Miss Magician has completed her exploration of the abandoned castle, and does not know if it has been monitored by the blood of Lord Nibbas... From her tone of voice, description and feedback from Mr. Fool, there should be no... Didn't Lord Nibbas send blood around the castle? But what is the need to try? Or is it because some problems have been missed?
Emlin felt that he should consult someone about how to punish Ernest Boyar. He really lacked similar experience.
Subconsciously, the first person to appear in his mind was the "inverted hanger", a senior member of the Tarot Society who was experienced in various matters, reliable and unusual, and never let the rest of the members down.
After a few seconds of hesitation, Emlin denied the choice because it involved exploring each other within the bloodline and disclosing it to members of the Tarot Society before the results came out was detrimental to his pride and the overall image of the bloodline.
For the same reason, he excluded the "world" candidate.
Of course, he felt that he should be able to guess what advice the "world" would give him.
Kill it!
There's no need to do that... Emlin muttered to himself, aimlessly behind Ernest Boyar, as he expanded the discussion to the real world.
Then he found that he had few goals to choose from and that he had few friends.
Excluding his blood-related parents, he could only consider two people, one was Father Utrafsky of the Harvest Church, and the other was Sherlock Moriarty, a great detective of mysterious origins.
"Shylock has not returned from Beckland yet. Alas, he can only find the priest tomorrow, but he can't say so directly..." Emlin made a quick decision, crossing Ernest Boyar, who entered the watch shop, to the end of the arcade, where several taxis were waiting.
When he got into the carriage and felt the wheels turning, Emlin casually looked at the window and saw more and more rainwater pouring heavily on the glass, pulling traces one after another to the bottom.
In his blurred vision, carriages passed by.
...
Audrey took her eyes back from the rain outside the carriage window, looked at Anne, the maid next to her, and exchanged silently with Susie squatting next to her.
She said with eyes, expressions and obscure body movements:
It's almost home, a little nervous.
Susie wagged her tail, lifted her paws, pulled the gold-rimmed glasses hanging from her lower neck, and combined the color changes at the etheric and psychosomatic levels to express what she meant:
Don't worry too much. The superficial psychologist, Ms. Eastland, who has only the "mind reader" level, can't detect your lies.
Audrey nodded slightly and watched the carriage pull into the hall's luxury villa and stop in front of the sheltered lobby.
Since joining the Roon Charitable Student Assistance Fund, she has less and less time at home during the day. She had planned to make an appointment with Ms. Islant of the Psychological Alchemy to meet at 22 Pesfield Street in the North District. But since Mr. Dawn Downtais has gone to the South China and is not at the Foundation, there is no need for her to meet at 22 Pesfield Street in the North District.
In her study alone, Audrey met Ms. Islant Ossleka, with black waist hair and a baby face.
"I'm sorry to have been busy gathering with friends since I returned to Beckland, and later joined the Luan Charity Fund, which I didn't meet you until today." After leaving Susie outside the door, Audrey gave an elegant salute to show her attitude.
In fact, she deliberately delayed it for about a month, so that she digested the magic potion of "psychiatrist" and promoted to "hypnotist" things seem reasonable, belong to genius rather than a questionable progress.
Eastland responded indifferently:
"I've heard that you're running for children who want knowledge. Your virtues are more dazzling than diamonds."
Audrey motioned for her partner to sit down and walked to the sofa with a single voice.
"The situation of those children is something I've never seen before, and there's always a voice in my heart urging me to do something, Ms. Eastland. If you have free time, you can go to different schools with me and the staff of the Roon Charitable Student Assistance Fund to see the situation of most of the children in the world."
At this point, she gave a slight laugh as if she were laughing at herself.
"Sorry, I've been used to opening up this topic recently, because I want more nobles and richer people to participate in this kind of good deeds, donate more money and help more children."
After hearing Audrey's words, Islant responded slightly uncomfortably:
"I'll do that. I'll also donate some money to the Roon Charitable Student Assistance Fund."
"No, I don't want to force you to donate. It has to be an absolute voluntary act from the heart. I just want you to see it and then tell the people around you, including members of the Psychological Alchemy, about the situation of those children and their possible future." Audrey shook her head and refused Islant's offer.
"Good." Eastland first nodded approvingly, and immediately felt that there was an indescribable sense of absurdity in the matter:
Miss Audrey's real intention seems to be to raise money from the Psychological Alchemy.
But this is a secret and extraordinary underground organization!
It's not fundamentally different from collecting money from the Aurora!
Audrey stopped discussing the "Roon Charitable Student Assistance Fund" and instead said:
"Ms. Eastland, I have something to tell you."
"What?" Eastland "read" the meaning of solemnity, joy and pride from each other's emotions and actions.
Audrey smiled a little:
"I've become a hypnotist."
"..." At this moment, Islant suspected that he had been hypnotized by his partner.
Although she knew that Miss Audrey had received the "hypnotist" potion recipe before, how long had it been?
"You should be able to make sure I'm not lying." Audrey smiled.
Only then did Islant look back and ask in surprise and suspicion:
"You seem to have an unusual experience?"
"Just be brave in application." Audrey spoke the most authentic words.
Islande frowned slightly and hesitated to go down the road.
"Do you want a magic potion recipe for Sequence 5?"
"Yes, what do I need to do or pay for?" Audrey did not conceal her purpose.
Eastland glanced at the beautiful lady with blond hair and blue eyes opposite him, and said thoughtfully:
"It's not something I can decide. I'll report it and arrange for you to meet Hilbert and Stephen as soon as possible."
She refers to psychologist and jewelry designer Hilbert Arukard and furniture merchant Stephen Hampers.
It is clear that in their group of members of the Psychological Alchemy, Islant is in a subordinate position.
Audrey wasn't surprised by Islant's reaction, but that didn't mean that the other party had no problem dealing with it.
A promotional aspirant in Sequence 6 is a worthy member of any secret organization, even the Orthodox Church, and is eligible to meet with senior people directly.
That is to say, after her promotion as a hypnotist, Audrey has become an elite in the middle class of the Psychological Alchemy. Her next goal is to become a quasi-high-level person. She should meet members of the Psychological Alchemy Review Panel, not Hilbert and Stephen.
In the twinkling of her mind, Audrey deliberately released a little unhappiness.
Eastland caught the signal keenly and quickly explained:
"Meeting Hilbert and Stephen is to confirm your status, and then a member of the committee will talk to you.
"Actually, at your present level, you should have led a group and developed its members downwards, but your identity, status and everyday environment have made us cancel this plan and worry about affecting your normal life."
Members... I don't know how many members of the Alchemy of Mind panel in Beckland... Is it Mr. Herwin Lambis, the Royal adviser? Audrey nodded thoughtfully.
"I understand and will wait for your arrangement."
She diverged from the subject at once and asked with curiosity in a twinkling of her eyes:
"Ms. Eastland, do you know what the magic potion in the sequence 5 of the'audience'approach is called?"
When she saw the blonde lady in front of her, she unconsciously showed a girl's posture, and Islant breathed a sigh of relief in silence.
"I've heard Hilbert mention it once,"Dreamwalker."
"Dreamwalker"... This is a little different from what I imagined, or is this "dream" just a reference, the exact statement should be a subconscious walker? Audrey did not conceal that she was thinking and analyzing, and then directed the topic to all kinds of knowledge in the field of psychology.
After dinner, Lewis Lant took the lady out of the hall and into the carriage.
At this time, the night outside is dark, the wind whistles and the rain rushes.
...
A sail-steam hybrid passenger ship was sailing in the safe passage of the stormy sea amid thunderous rain, howling winds and dark night.
Klein has left the South Continent and returned to Deasy Bay in the form of Dawn Downes.
When the boat was rocking, he woke up suddenly, turned over and got out of bed, went to the window of the first-class living room and looked out.
In the darkness of the rainy night, a huge three-mast sailing boat covered with pure black came quietly.
On both sides of it hang one lamp after another, nearly 100 meters long, hanging three dark canvas.
On the deck, there was a mottled stone chair two or three meters high in the position against the cabin, and no one was seated at this time.
This is the "Black Emperor". This is the symbol of "King of the Five Seas". The "Black Emperor"!
