Chapter 5: The King's Pomp

Grandin's eyes were in a trance, and he returned to the Hale family's villa.

As soon as he looked down, he saw a crimson diamond-shaped star circulating on the back of his left hand, and the emblem of fate was stimulated to appear from the back of his hand.

The crimson star flashed twice, and consciously turned down to his wrist, so the emblem of the goddess hidden here gradually awakened.

Its flickering frequency suddenly increased, and it descended again to the forearm, where it finally found its place. The frequency of its flickering gradually slows down and eventually disappears under the skin.

Why do they like to squeeze my left hand?

Grandin shook his head and took out his pocket watch.

"Smack!"

The pocket watch lid popped up, and he confirmed the time.

At this point, it had been almost 40 minutes since he had climbed the gray fog. Each lesson is 45 minutes, and if anyone asks, just say it's making up.

He quickly came up with an excuse.

Audrey sat in her chair and curled up like a quail:

"Teacher, I'm sorry. I didn't know there was such a secret on that bronze mirror. ”

She also had a crimson star symbol on the back of her hand.

Grandin walked to the window and opened the curtains, and there was a patch of purple lavender in the garden blooming just right.

He sighed, the young lady was curious and adventurous. As a teacher, I still have to remind her, because she can't have such good luck every time:

"Miss Audrey. There is a method of divination called 'Magic Mirror Divination'. Its essence is to pray for answers from unknown and mysterious beings through a mirror, praying for a third power. Most of the beings who will respond to this ritual are malicious, or they are evil gods themselves...... I think you stumbled upon a similar ritual and were pulled into that space. ”M.. coM

Audrey was taken aback, and hurriedly asked:

"You're saying we've just come into contact with an evil god?"

Grandin raised an eyebrow and corrected:

"I'm just saying that most of them are. But luckily, the being we met this time was quite kind. And it's already happened......"

"We're going to try to cut the losses as much as we can!"

Audrey has learned to answer.

Grandin sighed again:

"My student, I hope this event will make you grow. Reckless attempts when you don't know enough are deadly. ”

Audrey nodded, humbly accepting her teacher's teachings, and then she asked:

"Shall we attend the Tarot meeting on Monday as usual?"

"Yes, running away won't solve the problem. This may be an opportunity, so you just deal with it as you normally would. ”

Grandin picked up the pen on the table and wrote down the recipe for the 'Mariner' potion on parchment, as well as his password for withdrawing money from his bearer account. He gave it all to Audrey:

"You should also be more cautious when trading, I helped you recover some of your losses, and the rest should be considered as a lesson."

Audrey was stunned when she took the parchment, but she soon realized that she might have lost out on the deal.

Her cheeks puffed out:

"Teacher, why don't you get all the difference back?"

Grandin sat in his chair and quickly corrected Audrey's homework, and when he heard that he just said flatly:

"You have to hang some bait on your hook when fishing, right?"

bsp; They chatted in the classroom for a while about potions. It wasn't until Audrey's personal maid, Anne, entered the room and reminded Audrey to prepare for the upcoming ceremony that Grandin took his leave.

This time, Grandin's task for Audrey was to collect all the materials needed for the 'audience' potion through her own efforts. This mainly assesses the intelligence gathering ability and social skills of your students.

Or is it the banknote capacity?

It occurred to Grandin as he put on his top hat and left the Hale family's villa.

……

Port Prieze, Oak Island, Royal Navy Base.

The huge ship covered in steel was parked in the military port. Even if this huge ship had no weapons, the massive hull alone could crush many wooden sail battleships.

Grandin arrived quite punctually, and he greeted the crowd at the Retired Officers' Club. Then they were going to look for an open place to watch the ceremony, and the front of the front near the military port was occupied.

Although only nobles, councillors, and military officers were invited to the ceremony, the people on the island were much more unexpected, so he simply retreated to the lower hills, where there were fewer people.

Unfortunately, mobile vendors were not allowed to enter, and as soon as the novelty wore off, he became bored.

Why aren't there mobile vendors?

His mind was divergent, his mind was swollen from the excessive consumption of spirituality, and the sandwiches he had eaten at noon had long since been digested.

"Why aren't there mobile vendors?"

The voice that suddenly appeared next to him startled him. As soon as he turned his head, he saw Captain El in the Inspector's uniform, followed by Borgia.

It was Al who had just spoken his mind.

"Are you on a mission? But isn't this the jurisdiction of the Church of the Storm's substitute punisher? ”

Grandin yawned.

"Yes, yes, but among the nobles who watched the ceremony were also believers in the goddess of the night. Substitutes are cruising the seas to prevent unauthorized vessels from entering. Therefore, the affairs in the venue are under the control of us night watchmen and the National Police Agency, but there are still not enough people! We came at 8 a.m., picking up garbage, planting buntings and making guideway signs......"

Al yawned, his inspector uniform a little wrinkled, he rubbed his stomach and continued:

"There is simply not enough food in the naval base! I guess the punishers intercepted the food supply ships as well! ”

"It's a disaster."

Borgia concluded.

The three of them sighed together, and they looked at the jubilant crowd around them, and they only thought that they were very noisy.

Grandin even thought of a realistic question, these two in his team won't die of overwork, right? I finally slept well, they were spinning!

But when you think that they are extraordinary beings in the 'sleepless' pathway, maybe it's normal not to sleep?

At this moment a black dot appeared in the sky in the direction of Beckland, which grew larger and larger, and finally occupied a third of the sky, and the noise on the military port gradually weakened, replaced by silence and solemnity.

Flying from the sky is a steampunk-style airship. It has a dark blue livery on its exterior and a 'Sword of Judgment' insignia representing the royal family.

It was the means of transport for the king's family.

With the arrival of the king, the ceremony finally began.

"Our King has finally arrived, and hopefully this ceremony will be over as soon as possible, and I miss the restaurants in Bakerland very much."

Grandin lacks reverence for the king.
