Lord of the Mysteries v5c57

Chapter 57 Interlude
After losing everything but clothes, Ernest Boyar was stunned and completely awake.
What am I doing? What did I do? The blood Viscount finally remembered what had been deliberately forgotten before, and his clear green eyes.
Psychological cues, no, hypnosis... Ernest Boyar looked from side to side with half resentment and half fear, and instinctively reexamined his situation.
Then his eyes fell on the hill-like figure, and he saw Father Utrafsky with sparse and shallow eyebrows.
In an instant, Ernest Boyar's ideas came back in a thousand ways, colliding with each other and bursting out with a strong idea.
Without resisting, he blurted out:
"I'll be here for a month as a volunteer!"
—— Ernest Boyar has long been known to Father Utrafsky. He knows that even if he resists, he can not escape the fate of volunteers. It is better to simply surrender and choose conditions that are more conducive to him.
At least not to be hinted at, can not be converted to the "Mother Earth"... Ernest had no sooner flashed the idea than he found Father Utrafsky holding a horse lantern with a strange candle wrapped in human skin and protruding a knot.
Ernest's pupils enlarged again in the gloomy gloom of the candlelight, leaving only one idea in his mind that echoed endlessly:
Another psychological hint...
At this moment, he felt his inner shadow was so strong.
"Good." Father Utrafsky nodded and agreed to Ernest Boyar's request.
With a mixed laugh of triumph and pleasure, Emlin looked at all the things he had just caught, like a farmer who had a good harvest.
...
Saint Hillland Square, the third floor of a West Villas style restaurant, a box, the light suddenly dimmed, there was a large shadow.
Small bats flew out of the darkness and quickly gathered together.
Smoke billowed, and Earl Mistral, with his pale silver hair and scarlet eyes, appeared where bats had gathered, and everything around him returned to normal.
His servant, the middle-aged man in a dark suit, immediately stepped forward and saluted and asked:
"Your Excellency, are you eating now?"
He could not tell from the countess's face whether things were going well or hard, whether they were success or failure in the end, but he dared not ask.
Mistral nodded softly.
"Yes."
He walked calmly to the table, took off the sapphire ring and sat down without losing any grace, as if he had just gone out to feed the white pigeons.
...
"It tastes rich and strange, but it's good..." In the box next door to Count Mistral, Klein, with Zhang Pu's plain face, was enjoying and evaluating a delicacy of the West Villas style, goat's stomach.
Although the disciplinary action was a cooperative attempt by several members of the Tarot Club and did not require the intervention of "the world" or even "the fool", Klein considered that Miss Justice and "the Moon" Emlin either had no similar experience, or were inexperienced, or quietly approached the neighbourhood to make the final guarantee.
He had asked the secret couple to pray to the "fool" at the dining table. He went into the private bathroom of the box and came to the fog. With the help of the corresponding light, he expanded his vision to the whole square and surrounding areas.
At the same time, he always holds the "sea god's scepter" and is ready to stop lightning as soon as he finds it wrong.
But in the end he did nothing, and the whole thing went more smoothly than he had expected:
Leonard, a veteran star in battle, needless to say that Miss Justice, who first participated in this kind of thing, had behaved beyond his imagination. She was not nervous at all and showed no sign of panic.
Also, sequence 6 of an "audience" approach, in controlling their emotions, is certainly better than most of the low and medium-level sequence of different approaches. Even if there is any real anxiety, they can rely on extraordinary ability to solve it before they start to act... Kleinwei nodded invisibly and continued to taste other delicacies.
Outside the window, the sound of flute, violin, accordion, seven-stringed piano or staggered or overlapped melodiously and dispersed in St. Hillland Square.
...
On St. Hillland Square, a taxi slowly skirted the edge.
Leonard Mitchell, who was about to return to the North Bank of Beckland Bridge, looked at the white pigeons in the middle of the Eye Square and suddenly lowered his voice:
"Old man, do you think this operation will succeed in the end?"
After he dragged Ernest Boyar into his dream, he flipped through "Le Mano's Travel Notes" to inspire "Angel's Crowd" and left the scene in a carriage. It was not clear whether the follow-up development was going well.
In his mind, Paris Soroyaste answered unhappily:
"In the fourth century, there was a proverb:"Believe in the power of gods."
This means that since this matter has been tacitly approved by Mr. Fool, it will surely succeed. Nevertheless, the old man did not know enough about Tarot. Most of the time, Mr. Fool was just a witness without so-called acquiescence. Leonard muttered a couple of sentences in his heart and diverted from the subject.
"How does this proverb feel like it's not finished?"
—— He did not tell Paris Soroyaste the details of the Tarot Club, but made a general mention of it and relayed what Mr. Fool agreed with.
"Hey," Paris said.
"Indeed, there's the second half,'Don't believe in their mercy'."
Believe in the power of gods, not in their mercy... Leonard repeated it silently several times, looking down at the hard-covered, bronze-green notebook in his hand.
Then he whispered with emotion:
"This is really comparable to the'1'seal, and the solution to the negative effect is very simple."
Before the operation, considering that there were also some dark powers in the "Moon" field, the extraordinary people of this way would have a strong resistance to nightmares at some level. Leonard wanted to borrow "crawling hunger" from Crane Moretti, the "world", but in the follow-up discussion, Miss Magician mentioned it. The characteristics of this "Le Mano Travel Notes" give him a better choice.
So Ben, who was in charge of using the "angel embrace", borrowed Klein's "peristaltic hunger" for three hours, recording several useful and extraordinary abilities, including "bribery-weakening".
"This is the Abraham family." Paris Soroyastein said with some sigh.
Leonard knew it, nodded invisibly and asked:
"Old man, do you have any way to mitigate or control the negative effects of the magical thing I mentioned earlier?"
"Can that be called a miracle? That's something to seal!" Paris first taught Leonard a lesson, and then said, "Didn't you say that there is a characteristic of being alive? That's relatively easy to solve."
Leonard relaxed and looked out of the window again, enjoying some of the features of St. Hillland Cathedral, which was very close to the factory.
...
St. Samuel's Church is located in the north of Pesfield Street, at the entrance of the Roon Charitable Student Assistance Fund.
Having changed her clothes, Audrey, like an ordinary girl, stepped out of the carriage.
—— She had removed the newsboy's disguise from the pre-prepared Hotel room, which Emlin had ordered and had nothing to do with her.
At this time, there were several people at the door of the "Roon Charitable Student Assistance Fund", but Audrey walked past without scruple.
Nobody looked at her like she was living in another world.
Audrey walked briskly through the hall, up to the second floor, to her own governing office. All the people she met along the way seemed to be playing games with her, pretending not to see her, and not wondering what a strange girl was doing here.
At the door of the office, Audrey was about to open the door and enter. Suddenly she heard a familiar voice in it:
"Miss Audrey, this is the total amount of donations you have raised this week..."
Audrey couldn't help turning her mouth up slightly and pushing the half-covered door into it.
In the office, a staff member was holding a stack of documents and showing them to the man behind the desk.
Behind the desk was a big golden-haired dog with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses hanging around his neck.
It sat in the position of a director, flipped over the documents at will, and said to the staff:
"No problem."
The staff immediately retrieved the documents and laughed at the golden-haired dog.
"Then I'm out, Miss Audrey."
Audrey behind her, holding back her laughter, went to the next group of sofas and sat down, quietly watching her leave without disturbing the Golden-haired Dog to read another document.
Susie read all kinds of materials carefully, fearing that her role would be out of order, affecting Audrey's affairs.
After a while, she suddenly looked around doubtfully.
"Audrey, are you back?"
"How did you find out?" Audrey rose from the sofa and appeared in Susie's eyes.
She had a special communication with Susie for the purpose of the campaign, letting her work instead of herself at the Roon Charitable Student Assistance Fund, and then led the golden-haired dog to hypnotize the staff who would come into contact with her within a day, so that they could regard Susie as Audrey.
As for potential visitors, she told the staff that they would not arrive in the afternoon.
The signal for this hypnosis was the church bell at 2 p.m.
After seeing Audrey, Susie jumped out of her chair and said helplessly:
"It's almost two o'clock."
It's also... Audrey made a face at herself in her heart, hurried into the rest room, changed into her own clothes, and burned off her pretense by using her "lie" ability to manipulate the fire.
Back in the office, sitting in her own place, she relaxed completely, clasped her hands and held her lips lightly.
Frankly speaking, she has been very nervous, but before and after the operation, she succeeded in "appeasing" herself, without any omissions.
It's interesting to think about it now, and we have also discussed how to compensate the affected people. Audrey, well done! The beautiful girl with blonde hair and blue eyes had a little smile on her face, which was becoming more and more beautiful.
After this event, she found that her "hypnotist" potion has been digested a lot, and also determined one thing, that is, the "hand of fear" magic article with its own "bribery-charm" ability, and her "hypnosis" perfect match!
Well, I also know that Mr. Moon's name is Emlin White... He didn't want to hide it, because he must tell me, otherwise he couldn't achieve his goal. Well, it's okay to give the church a name, but that would reveal his identity... I am still a little tense, hypnotic when too rigid, unexpectedly used the "first hypnosis" this too direct words... Audrey "appeased" her slightly excited mood, carefully examining the whole process of today's action, hoping to learn from the experience and lessons.
When! When!
St. Samuel's Church sounded all the time, representing the arrival of two o'clock in the afternoon.
At No. 22 Pesfield Street, where the Roon Charitable Student Assistance Fund is located, several staff members shivered slightly when they heard the bell, and then they continued to work on their own business as soon as nothing happened.
...
When! When!
As the church bell rang, Klein, who had returned to the look of Dawn Downes, once again walked to the balcony at 160 Berkeland Street to look at the Macht family.
At this time, a carriage passed the door of his residence and headed to the other side of the street.
In between, Klein's intuition was touched and a picture emerged in his mind:
A grey mouse was lying on the window of the carriage, looking at the scenery in the street leisurely.
