Chapter 45: The Winter Pillars of Winter are Sweet

"Lord Black."

After exchanging pleasantries with Ember for a while, Earl Hall suddenly smiled and said, "Actually, I'm curious how you and Audrey met?" ”

"At the salon held by Viscount Glerint."

Ember was not surprised by Count Hall's question, and replied calmly.

The embers are clear.

He has nothing to do with Earl Hall's disease, and the only one who makes the two intersect is Audrey Hall.

The other party invited herself over, undoubtedly to confirm her relationship with her daughter.

The previous greetings were just a foreshadowing of this question, to make his inquiries seem less aggressive and rude.

After all, it's an earl, and the face is the common trait of nobles, so he can't force him to meet you, right?

"Glerint?"

Earl Hall frowned slightly, and asked, "So, Audrey's potion recipe ......?"

"I gave it."

Ember said calmly, "I obtained the recipe from private sources, and Miss Audrey paid me a total of six hundred gold pounds for it. ”

He didn't hide anything.

After all, Earl Hall sent someone to the Beckland Detective Agency to squat, which shows that the other party is clear about his identity on the surface.

In that case, he might as well be honest.

"That's right."

Count Hall sighed softly, as if relieved and a little helpless.

He wasn't surprised by Ember's answer, as he had been speculating all along.

His daughter has always been obsessed with the occult, and Earl Hall naturally knows this.

Even the aristocratic children who made friends with Audrey in the circle of the same age were all eager to get in touch with the mystery as Audrey.

And Viscount Gleilynt is the one who is closer to Audrey and the most intoxicated.

In fact, he had already discovered it when his daughter became an extraordinary person half a month ago.

Although he is not extraordinary, it is difficult to detect the changes in Audrey.

But as an earl, he still has some powerful extraordinary people in his family to protect him, and Audrey's changes can't hide from their eyes.

And the fact that Audrey has become an extraordinary person has always troubled Earl Hall until then.

Becoming an extraordinary person may not be a doubt in itself, after all, having the support of the Hall family is enough to save Audrey a lot of trouble.

But the origin of Audrey's recipe worries Earl Hall.

He was afraid that someone was trying to use Audrey for something.

And now that he was affirmed by Ember, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Although Ember was only a stranger before this, the other party, as an orthodox night watchman, naturally had no plans.

In particular, Ember also deliberately pointed out the private channel and the six hundred pounds, which means that the recipe has nothing to do with the Night Church.

And Audrey has already paid the price for getting the formula, and it won't have much to do with the official extraordinary.

First, although becoming an official extraordinary person can obtain some convenience, it will also bear some responsibilities accordingly.

And this part of the convenience is better than nothing for the Hall family, but it is those responsibilities that will bind Audrey.

Second, the official extraordinary is too dangerous-

No one else knows, but Earl Hall knows very well how high the mortality rate of the official extraordinary is!

Fortunately, none of this went for the worst, and Ember's answer was exactly what Earl Hall had expected.

"Don't talk about that."

Earl Hall pondered for a long time, and suddenly said with a smile, "Viscount Black, speaking of which, I have never really been to Wintershire, and you must be familiar with the environment after living there for so long. Tell me, is the winter in Winter County as cold as the royal capital has been rumored? ”

"Aren't you the one who suddenly wants to talk about this?"

Ember complained in his heart, but everything was as usual on his face, and he shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's cold when it's cold, it's cold if it's not cold." ”

"Oh?"

Earl Hall seemed to be intrigued.

"Count Hall."

Ember met Count Hall's curious gaze and said, "If you want to go to Wintershire one day, the people there will be very enthusiastic to tell you that the iron pillars of Wintershire are sweet in winter. ”

"Really?"

Count Hall looked surprised.

"Fake."

Ember shook his head, "The pillars of winter in Winter County are salty. ”

"And this kind of magic?"

Earl Hall was amazed, "Then I must try it if I have the chance." ”

"No, I'm kidding."

Ember's expression froze slightly, and he said helplessly, "If you really try to do this, Count Hall, you will find that your tongue will be firmly glued to the pillar, because they have been frozen together. ”

"And if you forcibly rip your tongue off the pillar, it will only make you tear your own tongue out in pain."

After a pause, Ember added, "Then you can taste the saltiness of the blood, so if you lick the pillar, you can indeed taste the saltiness." ”

“……”

Earl Hall's cheeks twitched slightly, and he knew that it must hurt a lot just by listening to him, and he couldn't help but ask, "What if someone really accidentally sticks their tongue to the pillar?" ”

"If the situation allows, you can pour it little by little with hot water."

Ember pondered his words for a moment and said with a strange expression, "And if the situation does not allow it, and there is no hot water on hand, then you must act as soon as possible, otherwise you may be frozen to necrosis if you drag it out for too long." ”

"At this time, it can only be poured by the liquid brought by the body's own heat."

"Saliva?"

Count Hall asked tentatively.

"The amount is too small, the effect is too slow, and the amount is larger. Well, I'm not talking about blood, and it's better not to try it with blood. ”

"What's ...... that?"

Seeing Ember's vague words, Earl Hall subconsciously asked, and then quickly realized something, and his expression froze.

"Pee?"

"Hmm."

Ember nodded silently.

"Okay."

Earl Hall smiled wryly, "I don't think I'll ever want to try such a dangerous thing in my life." ”

As he spoke, Earl Hall asked curiously, "I have a certain understanding of the coldness of Winter County, but what is the matter with what you said is not cold?" Could it be that the people of Winter County are more resistant to frost? ”

"Mr. Earl, this is a very simple question."

Ember sighed and gestured to the fireplace on the right side of the living room.

"Okay,"

Count Hall was dumbfounded, shook his head with a wry smile, "Looks like I asked a stupid question. ”

Unconsciously, because of this teasing conversation, the relationship between the two has become a lot closer.

At the same time, Count Hall also had one thing in his heart.

Ember's information is hidden, but at least the fact that he's from Winter County shouldn't be fake.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for outsiders to know these stories or accidents in such detail in Winter County.

Of course.

What Earl Hall didn't know was that Ember himself didn't know if Wintershire had these sad stories.

He had only made it up from the few memory fragments he had in his head.

He didn't even know that Ember's so-called private channel was referring to Anthony, the archbishop of the Night Church.
