Chapter 2: Encounters at the Dinner Party
"Decency is the most basic etiquette of an aristocracy, if you don't like the atmosphere there, don't walk around casually, just keep silent, you are already a child who is about to have a coming-of-age ceremony."
"Mom doesn't expect you to be Hibbert. A lord like Hall is good as long as he is happy all the time, but on top of this happiness, it is better to add a dignity that a nobleman should have. ”
On a horse-drawn carriage that was speeding but without any bumps, a beautiful woman dressed in a variety of jewels and ornaments faced Anthony. Slow said, his tone half warning, half admonition.
It seems that the predecessor is very dishonest...
Listening to the sound of Rune, who had become familiar and could receive information accurately, Anthony's heart was full of helplessness.
The predecessor of this pot, which is still a minor and only a seventeen-year-old child, why does he want to carry it?
Forget it, just take it as a little compensation for him inheriting the body of his predecessor.
As his thoughts rolled, he saw Irma on the side. Mrs. Sloe, his mother, did not continue to admonish, and Anthony's mind flew out of the carport again, recalling the scenes he had seen earlier.
There were several clusters of light floating around the massive Immortal Stone, and Anthony guessed that they might be the extraordinary properties of the higher sequences of the Void Pathway, or even unique.
But he regretted that with his current strength, he could only barely read the recipe of Sequence 9, and before he even saw the name of Sequence 8, he was directly drawn out of that picture by the severe pain.
In his guess, when his strength is higher, he may be able to master this immortal stone that has been integrated into his body, just like Mr. Ke.
It just made him wonder why this immortal stone was engraved with a path and sequence name that had never appeared in the mysterious world?
It can't be a squid with a tentacle...?
Anthony was almost amused by the funny thought, but a deeper guess came to his mind.
There may only be two stones to record the path and its sequence of potions, but the immortal stone is the third...
Desecration of the slate?
But one thing can't be both essentia and desecration of slate, right?
Knowing that he would not be able to figure out this original question for a while, Anthony simply didn't bother to think about it, and quietly watched the carriage fly outside the window, heading straight to the destination of this dinner.
Beckland, Queens.
Several carriages were parked in a lavishly decorated manor house, and servants came and went, including Anthony and his mother, into the hall where the noble lords and ladies and young masters and ladies of noble status were brought into the hall of the manor for the dinner.
"It's really worthy of being one of Beckland's top bankers, the East Chester family, and in ancient times, they were also proper landlords!"
Entering the hall where today's dinner was held, Anthony was immediately attracted by this luxurious, noble and elegant decoration, and was greeted by the taste of full of money!
A waiter in a black vest with a plate walked over, and after thanking Anthony, he took a drink that might have been beer, found a corner and sat down, looking at one of the protagonists of the banquet.
That's Earl Hall.
In the original book, there are not many appearances, but a character who also occupies an important position, one of the top bankers in the Kingdom of Rune, Miss "Beckland's Brightest Jewel" - Audrey. Hall's father.
His favorite Miss "Justice"...
The corners of Anthony's mouth curled slightly, and he began to look forward to the scene of meeting Miss Audrey later.
As far as he knew, the current time of the Kingdom of Rune was only March 1, 1349, and it was more than three months away from the time when the Gram crossed, oh no, put it down.
In other words, Miss Audrey is not the "mind" demigod she was now, and it is impossible to see the origin of the LSP in him through his essence.
In the midst of his thoughts, Anthony suddenly felt as if he had been tapped on the shoulder, and the slight force was almost negligible.
"Hey, Anthony, what about that occult book you talked about earlier? Brought? ”
Sneaky, as if the voice was deliberately suppressed sounded in Anthony's ears, cheerful, mixed with a little girlish innocence, which made Anthony's figure tremble, and quickly turned his head to meet a pair of green eyes that flashed like gems.
Her face was covered with a light veil, and although she was wearing a long black dress that was not very special, her unique long golden hair and bright eyes made Anthony can't help but think of someone-
Audrey. Hall!
How could she know herself, no, Anthony?
The memories in his mind searched like a storm, and Anthony finally found the memory he wanted after a second of stunned thought.
Audrey did know him, and the two discovered that each other was very interested in the occult by chance, so they established communication, and at the occasional gatherings, they exchanged occult books or knowledge they had obtained.
It's just that Anthony. Sloe, the predecessor, only cares about the knowledge of the occult itself, and he has not studied Audrey's life experience in depth at all, thinking that the other party is just a noble lady who likes the occult.
So this led to the fact that Anthony did not find out the memories related to Audrey from his mind for the first time.
Anthony was helpless in his heart to get rid of the stupidity of his predecessor, and pretended to be surprised.
"Well, yes, but I seem to have forgotten..."
Oh God, look at my goddamn translator.
Anthony complained silently in his heart, but when he saw Audrey turn around in disappointment, as if he was about to leave, he hurriedly spoke again.
"Miss Audrey, do you want to be extraordinary?"
The music and conversation at the dinner party dominated the conversation, drowning out Anthony's words, but Audrey could still hear it clearly, and the steps of departure were paused.
She is the daughter of Earl Hall, and she has been exposed to it since she was a child, so she also knows what the three words of the Extraordinary Man represent.
That's the kind of people who have the knowledge of the occult and have magical powers!
Her dream, no, her wish is to be extraordinary, and then use that power to protect her family.
However, if you want to open the door of the extraordinary, you need to first obtain the "key" of the potion formula.
After Audrey learned this information, she also made a lot of efforts, but to no avail.
Without the Extraordinary's door or joining the Church, it's hellish to get a potion recipe!
Even if she is the daughter of Earl Hall, she is now "the brightest jewel of Beckland".
