Chapter 150: Crane Resurrected from the Dead
City of Tingen, cemetery.
A slightly pale hand reached out from the dirt.
Then the lid of the coffin was lifted, and Crane sat up from the coffin with a confused face.
"I'm dead."
He looked around and confirmed his situation.
"Sure enough, he did not escape the devil's prophecy."
He slowly stood up, carefully closed the coffin board, and buried the new earth.
"Luckily, I've changed at least a few things."
"The captain didn't die, and the rest of the Nightwatcher were okay, preventing the birth of the Evil God's Heir."
"It's a pity. Or was Ince Zangwill's success, the difference in strength is too big. Is this the powerhouse of the high sequence? No, it's not even a high sequence, it's just sequence 5"
Klein came to the tombstone and saw the epitaph written on it.
"The best brother, the best brother, the best colleague"
Very few people are able to see their own tombstones while they are alive.
The corners of his mouth curled slightly, trying to smile, but he was eventually overwhelmed by the sadness in his heart, and stood silently like a statue in the crimson moonlight.
"In the eyes of everyone in Tingen, I'm dead."
After a long time, he let out a long sigh, realizing that he could never find his identity again, and that he would even have to stay away from the city of Tingen, lest the secret of his resurrection be discovered, and the mysterious gray fog would be discovered.
There is a devil's covetousness, which is enough for himself.
"The devil." Crane's eyes narrowed slightly.
"No wonder He wasn't worried at all, did he already know that I could come back from the dead?"
"There are so many secrets hidden by this being, and perhaps the future he sees is even more distant than I imagined."
"But there's no point in thinking so much now, only by improving your own strength can you have the capital to take revenge on Ince Zangwill, and only then can you have the possibility of escaping the devil's coveting."
"Before that, I can use the devil to exchange for money and accelerate the growth of my strength."
Thinking of this, Crane was finally able to smile a little.
Because he remembered that when he went to the bank this morning to check that account number, he saw exactly the feeling of fullness of 4,000 gold pounds lying inside.
The goddess is above, and this money is enough for anyone to live a prosperous life!
As for the other two bearer accounts, one belongs to Audrey, the other party doesn't seem to care about this little money at all, and the other belongs to the sun, he is far away in the land of God's forsaken, the gold pound of the Kingdom of Rune has no meaning to him, and his only use can only be used to trade information or materials at the Tarot meeting.
"A new start may not be a bad thing."
Crane comforted himself, "Sequence 8: Joker's potion is almost finished, it's time to find a higher sequence of potion recipes." ”
He performed a divination in which the direction of the divination pointed to a city.
The royal capital, Beckland.
The Hall family's mansion is naturally located in Queens, the most affluent and prosperous district of Beckland, and covers an extremely large area.
Audrey sat at the dresser, the maid fiddling with her hair, and her gaze wandered out of the window, which faced the gate of the house, into which one after another decorated carriages entered the front yard.
Today there is an evening party in the mansion.
This is not an uncommon thing, the daily life of the nobles and merchants of Beckland is to revolve around all kinds of parties, politics, economics and private life, most of the affairs of Beckland can be solved in the party.
Before becoming a transcendent, Audrey was actually tired of the party, and the same compliments and endless suitors really made Audrey not interested.
But after becoming an audience, Audrey did attend the party more often, and she liked to observe the expressions and mannerisms of the nobles and merchants, and she could always read a lot of information from them.
This not only makes her self-satisfied with her own abilities, but also able to satisfy the girl's unique and strong gossip heart.
After all, the private life of the aristocracy, if written in detail, is definitely the most chaotic and indescribable forbidden book in the world.
"There will be some new faces coming out today." The housekeeper stood aside in a standard posture and said softly: "For example, the third son of Viscount Langdon, who has just come of age a few days ago, and Earl Hall wants to meet him, as well as the upstart Mr. Rhett, although he does not have a title, but he has plenty of cash in his hands, and he has deposited more than 50,000 gold pounds in Earl Hall's bank alone."
Audrey is not interested in any of this, and every day new people appear in the circle, and every day people are forced to leave.
Especially those who have no status and only cash, they are the most popular objects of the aristocracy, and will often hold them with the highest treatment until they are drained of their interests, and then kick them away.
The complicated hair accessories and makeup were finally over, and Audrey finally breathed a sigh of relief and stood up, and the two maids hurriedly came up to arrange her exquisite beige gown to make sure there was not a trace of wrinkles on it.
The big blond-haired dog watched it all coldly.
"Susie." Audrey called, and Shi Shiran walked out of the room, walking along the long corridor with oil portraits of the predecessors of the Hall family on both sides, and the voices in front of him became more and more noisy.
The Earl of Hall hadn't shown up yet, but the guests were familiar with socializing.
Audrey stood in front of the guardrail on the second floor, looking down at the guests below, it was obvious that she could see the gathering of the guests, and the place where they gathered must be some big person, or the current hot person.
"That one is the third son of Viscount Langdon." The housekeeper pointed in one direction.
Not surprisingly, Audrey saw a young and handsome face, the other party belonged to the type of person who was surrounded by guests, and maintained a proper smile on his face, circling among the crowd.
The keen observation given by the audience makes Audrey sense the smugness in the other party's heart.
"It's best not to talk to this person too much." Audrey defined the other person in her mind: "He will definitely open the screen like a peacock and then babble and try to show me his charm." ”
"Over here, this is Mr. Red." The housekeeper saw that Audrey was not interested, and her introduction was just a necessary process, a son of the viscount's family, who could not inherit the title, was not worthy of the brightest pearl of Beckland.
Audrey looked away from the male peacock and saw Mr. Red.
Naturally, Mr. Red was also surrounded by nobles and merchants, and there were more people around him than the Viscount's son, which even made him a little overwhelmed.
The pure gold cane, the clothes should be the ready-to-wear clothes of the formal custom store not far away, slightly out of fit, and his age is not too big, he should not be like the old-fashioned jazz with a solid color scarf, people who really know how to wear clothes should use a bright color.
Audrey quickly defined the other party.
This is a lucky man who has no background at all, and he is not even smart, otherwise he should have used the money to buy some property, instead of mingling with the aristocratic party as a nouveau riche.
The kindness of those nobles is not something that an outsider, an upstart, can withstand.
"He's going to be eaten and wiped clean, and then he's left destitute."
Audrey didn't intend to remind the other party, she had seen too many such things, this is the unspoken rule of the circle, and meddling without permission is equivalent to blocking people's money, and it will not end well.
"Fifty thousand gold pounds, even for the big nobles, is a lot of extra money."
According to etiquette, Audrey needed to meet the two first-time guests attending Earl Hall's evening, so she descended the stairs into the hall.
Under the bright lights, the eyes of the surrounding guests were unconsciously attracted, most of them were not the first time to see this Miss Hall, but every time, they would be like the first time, attracted by the indescribable beauty, and could not take their eyes off.
Audrey was accustomed to being watched, and she maintained the best of etiquette, making her way through the crowd to the viscount's son.
As she had expected, the son of a nobleman who had just come of age was about to lose his mind, and the possessiveness in his eyes made Audrey almost frown several times, and Audrey had to get rid of the other party for the inappropriate reason that she needed to go to the bathroom.
The hall couldn't stay any longer, and in order to prevent the viscount's son from sticking to it again, Audrey could only give up talking to the upstart, which was indeed a bit rude, but as the daughter of the count, a little willfulness could also be forgiven.
Unexpectedly, however, when Audrey returned to the second floor and was about to walk back down the corridor, she saw the upstart coming out of one of the rooms.
It was Mr. Reid who was supposed to be in the middle of the hall and enjoying the crowd of guests.
At this point in time, I came out of the private room.
Well, this kind of thing is also very common, Audrey's eyes vaguely look at the door that was casually closed, guessing which noble lady or lady will be inside. Or sir.
Seeing Audrey, the other party was a little embarrassed, and gave a not very beautiful and skillful etiquette, and said: "First meeting, Miss Hall, I have already met you just now, but unfortunately I didn't find a chance to talk to you." ”
"You're Mr. Red, aren't you?" Audrey said kindly and thoughtfully: "I am already familiar with the name of Ling, and every day someone talks about the upstart of Beckland in front of me. I didn't bother you, did I? ”
When I walked out of the room in the middle of the party, most of the situation did not want to be seen by others, and no one knew how many people were in the room and what happened.
Mr. Red's face turned red and he stammered, "No, it won't bother." ”
"I'm just having some academic discussion with Viscount Glerinte."
Plus more is still in the code.
