Chapter 69: The Power of Sleep

Audrey looked at the dissipating mist, her lips upturned.

Because of the teacher's sudden class transfer, the class schedule arranged for me by the housekeeper Jennifer was all in vain. Well, the teacher's occult class was moved from the afternoon to the morning, and the original painting and art appreciation class was cancelled directly...... Looking at it this way, I have a half-day vacation in the afternoon!

Thinking of this, Audrey was even more relaxed, and she almost wanted to sing.

"Click! Click! ”

The sound of horses' hooves came from far to near.

Audrey couldn't help but be a little curious when she heard that crisp voice.

For her, riding a horse requires a change of clothes, going to the horse farm or the suburbs, and there is no way to get the horse to run completely in her own house or on the street.

Those who dare to gallop on the street are either fanatics or equestrian masters.

She opened the window of the carriage and poked her head out, only to see a rider breaking through the fog. His mount leaped to his feet, and the mane of his white horse fluttered.

Some of the mist of sunlight shines on the horses and riders, revealing a pale golden color.

On approaching the carriage, the speed of the horses gradually slowed down. At last with a long neigh, the man on the white horse stood up, while the rider sat firmly on the saddle bridge with his hat in one hand and the reins in the other.

At this moment, the wide Tasok River, the farther bell tower, and the rising sun all became the background.

"Good morning, Miss Audrey Hall."

Confident, clear voice pulls Audrey back to reality.

"Morning, good morning, teacher. I didn't expect you to be here in this way. Audrey had a faint flush on her face, and without waiting for Anne to help her, she opened the door of the carriage and jumped lightly out of the carriage.

Today she wears a simple and elegant, easy-to-move rider's suit, with a long cloak draped over it.

"Hmm...... The reason for this is a bit complicated, I'll tell you when I have time. ”

Grandin rolled over and dismounted, and untied the suitcase that hung behind the saddle.

He patted the sturdy horse's neck, and the old man, after a long run, was now gasping for breath after a long run.

"Wang!"

Susie wagged her tail happily.

"Good morning, Susie, too. Let's go inside. ”

After greeting Grandin, he led his horse to the hall.

"Teacher, Jennifer said, if you need to change classes next time, please let her know two days in advance."

Audrey put on a gauze hat, and the black gauze hung down, revealing only her smooth chin. She walked beside Grandin and whispered.

Grandin paused, and he remembered the unsmiling butler with his glasses. Whether his salary will be paid on time depends on the mood of the housekeeper.

"I see, I'll pay attention next time. Hopefully it didn't bother her. ”

"It's hard to say." Audrey laughed playfully.

"Alas, even the 'audience' said so, it seems that I will have to apologize next time."

Grandin walked to the door, took off his hat and said to the janitor:

"Hello, Raul. I need to use this hall, and please take care of my horses. ”

Raul, the janitor, is a veteran. He squinted his eyes, and after confirming Grandin's identity, he let them enter the guild hall without saying anything.

In the center of the hall is a staircase that spirals upwards, flanked by busts of outstanding generals of the past dynasties. The second floor is the banquet hall, and the third floor is the conference >>

room, and the fourth floor is the lounge.

They walked until they reached the fifth floor, where the Honor Exhibition Room was located.

Grandin chose a room with a view of the Beckland Bridge. Because it has not been used for a long time, there is already a layer of floating ash on the ground.

Medals and competition trophies are placed in the display cases on either side, and the center of the room is empty, with tables and chairs in the corners.

"Teacher, you haven't told me the content of today's practical class." Audrey took off her veil hat, and today her supple blonde hair was coiled behind her head, with only a strand hanging down from each sideburn.

Her valet Anne, after taking the hat, bowed and exited the room.

"The main thing in today's lesson is observation. With the help of a lot of observations, it allows you to digest the 'audience' potion. Oh, and that's what Susie is learning about. ”

Grandin hadn't forgotten his other student, and Susie grinned and nodded.

Then he dragged a table and placed his suitcase on it, "But before the class begins, I need you to set up a ritual spell to ask for help from the gods. ”

Grandin picked out a few materials from the suitcase, and then pushed the box to Audrey:

"All the materials needed for ritual magic are here. In order not to disturb you, I will go to another room, and I have some other preparations. ”

Grandin took out his pocket watch again and looked at it:

"We're going to hurry."

As he put away his pocket watch, he activated the 'Flesh Badge' with his spirituality. The shadow of his movement turned into a windshield wiper, which shimmered like wax as it swept over the wooden floor.

Susie was startled by the nimble shadow and ran back behind her master, while Audrey watched the shadow's performance with interest, mentally analyzing what kind of ability it was.

She even deliberately threw her gloves on the ground to see if the shadows could clean them up.

Grandin was speechless after seeing this, and he suddenly wanted to see how Audrey would react in front of the badge that had returned to her flesh state.

But in the end, he suppressed his bad taste.

"A clean environment can improve work efficiency, please come on."

After cleaning the room, Grandin pushed the door open and left.

......

Before 7 o'clock, the fog in the East End had not yet lifted, and a figure had begun to emerge from the low building. They were dressed in various overalls, but this time, instead of hurrying to their place of work, they wandered through the surrounding streets.

However, this disorderly action gradually took on a clear direction - Riverbend Avenue.

Crowds began to pour into Riverbend Avenue from all directions. Once there, they began to squeeze into the middle of the road again. When there were more and more people, a group of capable half-sized lads appeared. They silently organized people to pass through the intersection in an orderly manner and form long queues???.. Com

The tributaries finally converged.

No one in the line spoke.

In the crowd, some people still had the tiredness on their faces after working all night. Others keep their heads down, looking preoccupied. But many more people are numb even with their expressions, as if they have no will of their own at all. They dragged their legs and just followed others, walking forward.

Ryder fought his way through the crowd and made his way to the front of the line.

He took a deep breath and, with the help of a young man, unfurled the broken, oil-stained banner that read:

"Eight hours of work! Eight hours of leisure! Eight hours of sleep! ”
