Chapter Ninety-Six: The Deal After the Secret
The sudden appearance of Herwin Lambis puts Audrey in danger, and when Audrey shows a little abnormality, the demigod of the "audience" path is more experienced after all, and immediately catches her emotional wavering.
Herwin Lambis tried to destroy the defenses of Audrey's Island of Consciousness with Psychic Storm, directly controlling the youngest daughter of Earl Hall's family, but was accidentally countered by a game.
Audrey unleashes the "Stealer" spell and forcibly replaces the fate of the controlled minds of both parties!
It was the spell of the angelic person, far from being able to resist Herwin Lambis.
But Audrey's control could only last for a short time, so she decisively chose the delaying means she could do at the moment, and successfully hypnotized the other party, telling the old man to wait in the garden and forget everything that had happened before.
Leaving enough psychological hints to let Herwin Lambis leave first, Audrey had to use several "pacifications" to calm her nervousness and calm down to pray to the "fool".
Once again, the majestic angel descended from the gray mist and embraced her spirit.
After heading to the garden at the scheduled time, Audrey burned the feather hat that Dawn had given her to protect herself from her hat, as she had agreed, and then cast a spell to summon Gelman Sparrow.
Yet nothing happened.
Just as Audrey counted the time silently and found that it had exceeded the hypnotic time, she couldn't help but feel apprehensive.
She pretended to look around the scenery and looked around, but she didn't expect a gentle voice to sound beside her, "What are you looking for?" β
The night silently enveloped the garden, a huge red moon rose, and in front of the red, the silhouette of a black trench coat and a top hat, like a bat with folded wings, stood far above the roof.
At the moment when Herwin Lambis unleashed her mythical creature form, Audrey immediately closed her eyes and hypnotized herself in a low voice, cutting off her sense of sight and hearing to prevent her from losing control.
However, when Herwin Lambis tries to invade Audrey's island of consciousness, Audrey suddenly disappears.
She felt the warm sunlight falling on her body, and then she released her hypnosis and opened her eyes again.
In the afternoon of Beckland, with a few rays of sunlight shining through the gray cotton-like clouds, Audrey looked around the idyllic garden, and the large blooming moonbushes made a "rustling" sound in the autumn wind, so peaceful that there was no strangeness.
There was no Mr. "World", and there was no red moon, everything just now was like a dream. It's so powerful, is this a battle between demigods? It doesn't affect reality at all......
Worried about affecting the battle on the other side, Audrey wanted to exit the garden as soon as possible, but as she walked by, a gentle chirp came from among the bushes next to her.
Before Audrey could react, a fluffy mass had already hit her shoulder.
"Huh? You're not ......."
Audrey recognized the bird's laurel-colored feathers, a very conspicuous feature that she had only seen in Mr. Dwayne Dantès's pet bird, which was always lively and had a very human reaction, and Audrey had always suspected that the bird, like Susie, was some kind of potion-sipped animal.
After a quick glance around, Audrey walked briskly into the corridor with the lark in her hand. She stopped at the door of the house, looked at the garden outside, and saw that there was no movement outside, so she was a little relieved, and secretly prayed that Mr. "World" could successfully intercept the member of the Psychological Alchemy Society and win the battle.
It was only then that Audrey looked at the bird in her hand again: "I remember your name is Nornes, right?" How did you end up here? β
How did Gelman Sparrow come with this bird even when he was fighting? Is it because it's special and has something to do with Mr. Fool?
"Or do you have any special abilities?" Audrey asked with a smile, not expecting a response.
The lark in the palm of his hand narrowed his eyes slightly, a circle of vague round stars lit up in his pale eyes, and his yellow pointed beak opened and closed slightly:
"Good afternoon, is this Miss Justice?"
This is the voice of a "lover".
"Justice", Audrey Hall, suddenly felt like she was falling into an ice cellar, and an extremely cold chill welled up from behind her. Even if she is a "spectator", it is difficult to completely suppress the emotions in her heart during the three or four frightens in this afternoon.
Especially after Mr. "World" has already entered the battle with Herwin Lambis, this lark will just appear, and it doesn't look right.
Audrey was also one of the earliest members of the Tarot Society, and of course she remembered such a light, which Mr. "The World" had specifically instructed - "If you see a 'lover' or a light similar to her appear, please pray to Mr. 'Fool' immediately." β
When she heard the news, Audrey was already thinking about this question, will someone really defect and leave Tarot?
But Mr. "Fool" did not say anything about it, or even say that we must be hostile to each other, and that Mr. "World" made us wary......
Audrey wanted to put down the lark in her hand, but she didn't know where to put it for a while, so she had to ask, "Are you Miss 'Lover'?" β
The lark leaned down slightly, as if saluting: "It's me." Someone's looking for me, isn't it? β
After two seconds of silence, Audrey replied truthfully, "Well, Mr. 'World' is looking for you, and he has been depressed for a long time...... I'm sorry, but I think that has something to do with your disappearance. β
The lark nodded, not speaking for a moment, the light in its eyes gradually dimming.
Audrey glanced quickly at the garden, feeling that she had to stall for time and wait for the "world" to get out of the fight: "Miss 'Lover', has something happened to you, so you have not been able to attend the tarot meeting?" β
"So to speak." The lark's answer was somewhat perfunctory.
Audrey then asked the next question, not intending to give the lark a chance to cut off the conversation: "If your situation is really critical, you can try to ask that one for help, he will definitely be willing-"
"'Justice', this is just a small bird that I borrowed temporarily, because there is a barrier, and soon it will lose contact with me. I have a word that I want you to bring to the 'world'. β
Audrey took a deep breath: "Okay, I'll tell him you're in a difficult situation right now, what else do you need me to convey?" β
The lark was stunned for a moment, and his originally trance-like eyes revealed a hint of gentleness: "Thank you." Help me tell him that if there is a possibility of a deal, he must ask the other party to return the light to the 'fool'. β
Is this related to Mr. "Fool"? So the object of the transaction must be very special, is it also a certain god?
Audrey's mind changed sharply, but she just nodded to the lark, and before Audrey could say anything, the mark in the lark's eyes dissipated, and a faint light fell out on the original pale yellow feathers, restoring its original tan variegation.
The lark blinked sluggishly, then regained consciousness, but when it noticed that it was being held in the palm of its hand, the lark screamed in panic and rushed across the porch into the sparse sunlight outside, and rushed to the sky outside the garden.
Audrey looked in the direction the lark had left, and mixed thoughts were entangled.
The identity of the "world" as a member of the Tarot Society is fake, the image shown is fake, and the same is true in the world beyond the gray fog, what you see is fake, everything is ......
This is what the "world" used to struggle with during psychotherapy, and asked herself, Audrey remembered at the moment, and suddenly realized that this point seemed to be very appropriate for "lovers".
"Lover" once said at the tarot meeting that the sequence eight of the "thief" is the "scammer", if she sets up a scam against the true god and infiltrates the tarot club with a false identity, is this kind of thing really possible?
No, at least Mr. "Fool" must know more about the inside story, so I'll get that out first.
Audrey looked into the garden, anxiously awaiting the final outcome of the battle.
ββ
Gray mist, in the empty and magnificent hall.
After the battle, Klein left Viscount Glerint's mansion, and Audrey came to her senses and prayed to the "Fool" to request a private meeting with the "world".
"She said that if there is a possibility of a deal, she must ask the other party to return the light to the 'fool', which is the original words."
When Audrey conveyed the news, she also subconsciously glanced at the empty first seat, although Mr. "Fool" was not there, but he must have been able to hear this sentence.
Klein nodded, "I see, just like you think, Mr. 'Fool' can hear it too." β
After all, Mr. "Fool" is now sitting in the place of "the world......
"Can you elaborate on that lark?"
"It's a lot like, well, the lark in Mr. Dawn's house, Nornes. It's just the bird I saw with a glowing symbol in its eyes. β
Audrey said as she sketched twice in front of her, and Klein was familiar with the image of the symbol: "It's okay, I know what it looks like." β
This is indeed Zoya, not Esther, so the transaction that the lark is talking about is obviously about the part of the "point of light" held by the goddess of the night.
Crane couldn't help but sigh softly.
"Mr. 'World', Miss 'Lover' is in a terrible situation, isn't it?"
Even though Klein heard the obvious concern of "Justice", in order to maintain the image of "the world", he just nodded coldly: "There is the shelter of Mr. 'Fool'. She didn't parasitize you directly, indicating that there is still room for maneuvering. β
This sentence instantly made "Justice" feel a chill again, and she subconsciously said: "I just think that the 'lover' I know Miss ...... It's not someone who will do it to us, to the members of the Tarot Society. β
"World" shook his head: "Anyway, I want to thank you for the message, Mr. 'Fool' will follow up." β
"No, that's what I'm supposed to do, if only I could really help."
"Justice" saluted with her skirt and disappeared above the gray mist.
