26 Kingst Street, Bakerland, Jowood District.

Benson, who had just returned from outside, took off his hat and coat, and handed them to Sarah, the maid for hire, and then looked at his sister Melissa, who was concentrating on writing and drawing in the living room, and said:

"Melissa, today is your birthday, you have to learn to rest properly."

Melissa didn't look up, still reading and calculating:

So I gave myself an entire encyclopedia of materials as a gift...... I'm going to get my hands on it tonight. ”

Since becoming a "generalist", Melissa's learning ability and memory ability have been significantly improved, and it is normal to nibble on a book at night.

"Melissa, you're getting more and more humorous...... That's good, but jokes are jokes, and you can't take them seriously...... By the way, see what I bought you? Benson said with a smile.

He didn't think Melissa was stating the facts at all, he just thought it was a little girl who was throwing a tantrum because she didn't have a birthday party.

However, Benson felt that Melissa was more normal like this, after all, she was always sensible in the past.

Melissa easily guessed her brother's thoughts, sighed vaguely, and then stopped her study.

She also knew that her memory ability had begun to surpass ordinary people, so she didn't want to scare her brother.

Moreover, Melissa does have a hint of anticipation for Benson's gift.

So she glanced at her brother casually, and asked:

"Is the job of a government employee that easy? Came back so early? ”

"No, it's just that my dearest sister has a birthday, so naturally I have to take a leave of absence...... Moreover, the first repayment of the financial loan applied for by the film and television company has arrived, and my work has become much more leisurely. Benson glanced over a mirror in the living room, and couldn't help but raise his hand to comb his hair, and said with a not too pleasant expression, "And I have been rewarded by a deputy minister of the Ministry of Finance for being in charge of this extremely successful business...... At least I'll get through the damn internship and I'll have £3 a week for the next day! ”

The price of a 3 pound ...... "Knowledgeable" potion is at least 300 pounds...... In other words, if Klein's pension is not used, we will have to go without food or drink for 100 weeks, close to two years, to pay it off......

Melissa subconsciously calculated it in her heart, but she immediately laughed, after all, her brother is not the only one in the family who can make money, and she is responsible for the "props" work of the film and television company, and her weekly salary is even higher than that of Benson.

Melissa retracted her misguided thoughts and looked at the empty-handed Benson again, although she didn't speak, but the meaning was obvious: "What about the gift?" ”

Benson smiled and said mysteriously, "You'll know right away." ”

Before he could finish his words, Sarah, the little maid in a black and white dress, ran over again and reported, "Sir, a young lady named Elizabeth has come to visit, and she says she is a friend of Miss Melissa. ”

"Elizabeth?!" Melissa's eyes lit up and she jumped with joy.

Who doesn't want the blessings of their friends on their birthday? But Melissa, who is in Beckland, has not yet made good friends, and Hazel, the only "teacher" who is close to her to teach her occult knowledge, has not deliberately asked, so she does not know that her birthday is today.

It was Elizabeth's arrival that made Melissa quite happy.

She turned her head to look at Benson, pursed her lips and smiled, "I'm happy, Benson...... It was a pleasant surprise. ”

With that, she took the maid Sarah to the door to greet her friend, leaving Benson where he was, his face full of confusion.

The goddess is above, and the gift I prepared is not this...... I just ordered a new ice cream cake at a dessert shop in the North Side that has a good reputation and tastes great...... They obviously haven't delivered it yet......

At the same time, in front of a window in the villa at 28 Kinster Street, Abner, who was quietly watching the scene, closed the curtain and quickly disappeared into the room.

"After exploring the town of 'Kabas', Elizabeth chose the 'come to Melissa to tell' option...... It was also the only opportunity for her to embark on an extraordinary path in a tributary of the 'River of Destiny'. ”

East Chester County, Stonen City, Antiquities Conservation Foundation.

Because the newly formed institution was in its infancy and had too much work to deal with, Audrey deliberately delayed the review of several funds, and stayed overnight in the "Foundation" manor on the grounds that it was too late to return to the castle at this time.

- This was originally a manor house in her name, and all the facilities were complete, so Earl Hall was relieved that she would stay overnight.

Of course, a team of professional bodyguards is essential.

In fact, Audrey left all the work to her "personal assistant" Isrant, while she herself returned to her bedroom and waited for a certain gentleman to arrive.

At eight o'clock sharp, as a figure was quickly outlined, Audrey saw Mr. "Tower" with a changed face appear in front of her.

Seeing this, Audrey said in a brisk tone:

"Good evening, Mr. 'Professor'~"

In the real world, she is more careful not to call the other person by her code name in the "Tarot Society", so as not to reveal her identity - although Abner doesn't care much.

At the same time, Audrey's spiritual intuition has already sensed the surface of the other person's mental body, that is, emotions in the popular sense, or mood.

Rather pleasant...... Mr. "Tower" always seems to be in a "healthy" state of mind, and only on rare occasions does he reveal other emotions...... Is this his natural optimism, or is it something else?

Audrey, who has been playing the role of a "psychiatrist" lately, habitually analyzes a wave.

But what she didn't know was that the other party was about to take her to "social death", and her heart was naturally "happy......

"Good evening, miss...... The red moon is dreamy and beautiful tonight, just in time to go out and enjoy the moon......" Abner smiled and said a line from a certain book, and then asked, "I don't know if you're ready?" ”

After saying that, he took a look at Audrey and saw that she was wearing a hunting suit that was easy to move around, and she was carrying a small bag to hold various charms and ritual materials.

Audrey nodded, picked up the "lie" that had changed into a mask and put it on her face, and then said with a smile: "I have asked Susie and Islan to help cover up my departure...... However, it is better to be able to come back before dawn. ”

Although there is nothing wrong with it, it still feels a little weird to juxtapose Susie and Eastland...... Abner muttered to himself, and then performed a standard dance etiquette.

Audrey immediately understood, and stretched out her palm to put it on Mr. "Tower's" hand.

Immediately afterward, the colors in front of her became more intense, the red moon became more distinct, the shadows became darker, and the colors were distinct and layered on top of each other.

Countless near-invisible figures retreated to the "back", and Audrey, with the help of Abner, quickly shuttled through the spirit world.

It turns out that "teleportation" feels like this...... As soon as Audrey, who was traveling in the spirit world for the first time, had a few thoughts come to mind, she saw her body fall straight down, the surrounding colors receded, and everything returned to normal.

Small space...... There is dirt all around...... Ancient altar ...... It is a ceremonial room located underground...... Audrey looked around and was about to ask, but was attracted by the old-looking book on the altar and the three "blasphemous cards" around it.

"Door", "Error", "Black Emperor", ......

Her eyes rolled slightly, and she asked curiously:

"The quest for the 'City of Miracles' Leviheed is related to this book?"

"Yes, our goal is in this book." Abner replied with a smile.

"In the book?" Audrey was a little surprised, but not too strange.

After all, in her opinion, the "cave" in the subconscious sea they had explored before was no worse than "a book" in terms of mystery.

"Yes, it's a magical book, there's a fantasy world 'inside', and Levihid is in the sea of the collective subconscious of that world."

"Fantasy...... I see! Audrey keenly grasped this keyword, and her face suddenly changed.

She had heard Mr. "Tower" say early on that the sequence 0 of the "audience" path was called "Visionary", and the "City of Miracles" was the kingdom of the ancient god Angelweed, the king of dragons, the "dragon of fantasy".

It makes sense that it is hidden in a fantasy book world.

Seeing Audrey nodding thoughtfully, Abner didn't say anything more, only explained that he was going to pick up the "mysterious queen", and then disappeared in place.

Audrey was a little nervous, after all, she was about to meet a real big man in the extraordinary world.

Although she felt that Mr. "Tower" might not be weaker than the other party, she still inevitably had some apprehension.

It was Audrey who took a few deep breaths and prayed to Mr. "Fool" for "protection".

And Klein, who was waiting to watch the "live broadcast" above the gray fog, immediately perked up and responded instantly, in addition to blessing the "paper angel", he also temporarily strengthened the connection with Miss "Justice", making the picture clear.

On the other side, after receiving the blessing of the angel, Audrey recalled what she had just seen and hugged the "angel" to herself, and couldn't help muttering:

"It seems that a female angel gave the blessing this time...... Although I didn't see the face, I knew by feeling that it was a very beautiful angel...... Mr. 'Fool' was really considerate......"

And Crane, who happened to hear this, was a little embarrassed, because it was also a last resort...... After all, his "wrong card" and "Black Emperor card" have been borrowed, and only two cards in his hand, "Witch" and "Moon", can pry the power above the gray mist.

Of course, in order to maintain the image of Mr. Fool, his angel was not suitable for being too "glamorous", so Klein ended up choosing the "Moon" card.
