After a month in Beckland, Dwayne Dantès behaved more like a traditional Rune gentleman.

Daun Dantès wore a sophisticated suit that he had asked Walter butler to make custom when he had been invited by Count Hall a week earlier.

During this week, many nobles and businessmen of Daunne Dantès, in order to show their importance to Miss Hall's coming-of-age ceremony, have used various methods to prepare for Miss Hall's birthday ball in early June, so as to show their respect and intention to cooperate with the count.

Under the guidance of the royal family, those who sacrificed for the sake of the country had a more prominent position than before. Coincidentally, Alfred Hall, the second son of the Hall family, who opposed the war, was seriously injured during the Emperor's crusade against the Intis Empire, so that he has only now returned to his normal mental and physical state.

This made Alfred himself more respectable, and made it very likely that the Hall family would have a more prominent position and be valued by the emperor than before.

……

Dressed in a delicate evening gown, Hazel gently took her mother's arm and followed her smiling father and mother into the ornate banquet hall.

She was a little bored, until she saw Dawn Dantès and realized that the mysterious demigod had also come to congratulate Miss Audrey on her birthday.

This is a mysterious powerhouse like her teacher, why would such a powerhouse come to the coming-of-age banquet of a mediocre aristocratic lady?

Could it be that this young lady is actually a powerful and extraordinary person?

Hazel had a look of interest in her heart, but she heard a voice not far away, which seemed to announce the arrival of a certain big man.

"Welcome to Archduke Abraham!"

Grand Duke Abraham...... The rumored invisible "emperor" of the royal family, the executor who executes the decree in place of George III...... One of the archbishops of the Storm Church as the teacher speaks......

Seeing such a famous person, an extraordinary person with great strength appear in front of him, Hazel couldn't help but be a little excited, but at the same time a little worried.

I heard that every archbishop on duty in such a big city has the terrifying strength of Sequence 4 or even Sequence 3, so will the archbishop discover that he has extraordinary abilities?

Hazel pursed her lips, only to see a young man in an all-black suit with a gold-trimmed monocle on his eyes beside the archbishop.

The young man waved his hand at Hazel gently, his lips squirming, as if to say something to Hazel. Hazel fell silent for a moment, the corners of her mouth drawing a subtle arc downward.

How can the teacher be here......

And on the other side of the feast, Count Hall had already greeted the monocle-clad young man and Archbishop of the Church of the Storm, Govi Abraham.

With a smile on his face, he held out his hand to the archbishop and shook his hand.

"Mr. Abraham, I am honored that you would like to be here for Audrey's birthday party."

Count Hall walked up to the high-dimensional overlooking man and greeted him. Although Count Hall is a representative of the new aristocracy, he also has the strength associated with the Church of the Night.

But in the face of this duke, who has the status of both the royal duke and the archbishop of the Storm Church, the strength of the Hall family itself is nothing.

After all, among the rumors in the world, there is even such a rumor that is not too reliable. That is, His Majesty the Emperor has not appeared in front of the people very much recently, and many decrees are now issued by this Grand Duke.

Of course, this is not reliable, and no one dares to raise this rumor at a formal banquet.

“…… Who is this? ”

After some pleasantries, Count Hall looked at the young man wearing monocles beside the high-dimensional overlooking man with some confusion. The high-dimensional lookdown only chuckled softly:

"It's my deputy, a young man with a lot of potential."

Of course, this refers to Director Amon, the deputy of the high school principal, and for the outer gods, Amun's existence is too short, saying that he is a young man, and a certain god whose age is calculated according to 100 million thinks that he is exalting Amon's age.

"Hello, Earl Hall."

Amon replied with graceful manners, and he habitually tried to split a "Time Worm" and plant it in Count Hall's body, only to find that the "Time Worm" in his body was completely imprisoned by something.

Sure enough, it won't leave me a chance...... Is this sequence one with essentia? It gave me a sense of oppression that Sasriel gave me at the time......

Amon thought in his heart, and silently followed the high-dimensional overlooking person towards the banquet.

A moment later, He poked the High Dimension Seeker with his elbow:

"It's not what I imagined, there are a lot of extraordinary people in this banquet. But speaking of which, how did you have such a casual elegance for such a banquet? ”

The high-dimensional overlooking person smiled:

"The protagonist of this banquet has been specially cared for by your father, and she is a child with great potential, and she is not burdened with a lot of fate."

"Being idle is also idle, and for me there is no essential difference between staying inside the university and attending a banquet outside."

Amon thought about what he and those idle college students who had nothing to do and wanted to study the occult and smiled.

"Indeed."

"But the quantity and quality of the extraordinary people here are a bit exceeded, you really didn't do anything in it?"

"Am I doing it?" The high-dimensional overhead asks rhetorically:

"Why do you think I need to do it? With two Sequence 2s, I'm already capable of creating a fairly strong convergence of extraordinary traits here, and I'm just blocking your power and your perception of the outside world - not your person. ”

Amon pondered a little and pursed his lips:

"Yes."

"But speaking of which, what are you going to do now? Can you have any fun here, too? ”

Amon was a little curious for a while, a picture of too much humanity.

"Am I, like you, just having fun every day? Just give me a gift. The high-dimensional lookdown glanced at Amon rather sadly: "Give Audrey Hall a little gift......

He dragged out the end of the sentence and continued to speak to Amun.

"Then you might be able to see something that surprised me."

"I see." Amon pushed his monocle: "You hope to have more fun in the future." For the sake of your own happiness and as if seeking uniqueness, you are indeed much higher than me. ”

"...... said that it was really fun...... The high-dimensional overlooking man sighed:

"It's good if you're happy."

After saying this to Amun, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he continued to say to him with a strange expression:

"Of course, the gift is not just for Audrey."

"That's?" Amon raised an eyebrow, but he couldn't get an answer.

In the palm of the high-dimensional overlooker, an invitation card that had been dismantled into countless copies shimmered with a faint red light in the invisible void.

……

Audrey stood on the dance floor and socialized with the other aristocrats, knowing that she would not have any time left for herself until the ball was over.

What a troublesome social ...... Obviously the state of the Rune Empire is so bad now, why do the nobles of Beckland still attach so much importance to their own decency?

The current Rune Empire can be described as internal and external troubles. Outside, there is the Fursak Empire, and inside, there is its own emperor, George III, who does not know what conspiracy is being planned now.

And even now, the nobles of Beckland still sing songs night after night, unwilling to lose even a little so-called decency. And as a nobleman, Audrey understands that it is not that they are unaware of the impending terrible war, but that they have already prepared the materials needed for evacuation when they know that there may be a war, and even dig shelters in private.

Even in order to reduce their own losses, they single-handedly set off changes in the price of materials throughout Beckland, and even had more assets after purchasing a large number of commodities and hoarding a large number of materials.

Among them was his father, Earl Hall. Audrey didn't understand why her father would choose to do this under such circumstances.

Is the dignity of the family really that important? Is it even more important than the lives of ordinary people?

- Doesn't God's doctrine teach them to do good? Didn't his father once tell him to be kind, docile, and kind?

It's not that Audrey hasn't approached the civilians of the second or even third floor of the factory area of Beckland as ordinary people, but she doesn't feel any deep-seated malice and stupidity from these civilians.

Audrey even felt that some of the commoners could outperform a considerable number of corrupt and stupid nobles in terms of cultivation and ability after receiving a certain amount of education, even without much advanced education.

After learning about the history of the empire, Audrey understands why the nobility has become the way it is.

It was only in the early days of the establishment of this country that they plundered most of the country's wealth and held all its resources into their own hands, so they were nobles.

They were nobles not because they were smart, but because they happened to be born into noble families.

A figure walked in front of him, watching the nobles around him automatically get out of the way, Audrey Hall looked at the person walking in front of him with some confusion.

Soon, she discovers that the person who came is the High Dimension Downlooker, that is, the Lord of the Duke who has helped her many times.

"Hello, Duke Abraham." Audrey nodded lightly and greeted the high-dimensional overlooking in front of her with impeccable social etiquette.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Hall. This is my birthday present for you. ”

While greeting Audrey, the high-dimensional over-the-top took out a gift box from his bosom, which was poured from pure gold and looked rather heavy.

Audrey Hall took the box, only to find that the small box was unusually heavy—it seemed that it was not only made of pure gold, but that there seemed to be something of unusually large quality in the box.

Even with the physical ability of "Bishop of Rose", the flesh and blood under Audrey's skin squirmed, supporting her arm to hold the gift box steadily, so that she would not be disrespectful because of the sudden heaviness.

"Let's open it and take a look." The high-dimensional overlooking person said softly to Audrey, although the etiquette of the Rune Empire is that you can't open the gifts given at the banquet in front of others, but the high-dimensional overlooking person himself has the highest title among all the people present, so naturally no one will be idle to trouble this duke.

Audrey held the gift box with one hand, the muscles of her whole body tensed, and the other hand picked up the pull ring on the gift box, almost with the greatest strength to hold up the lid of the gift box without deformation.

She looked at it and saw that the pure gold casing inside the box was covered with a transparent, but shiny film that seemed to be metallic.

In the box, a transparent pendant that looked like jade and glass lay quietly in it, and a drop of black liquid was quietly sealed in it.

The surface of the liquid reflects a colorful sheen, precipitating downward.

"What is this?"

Audrey asked, she had never seen this black liquid.

The high-dimensional down-eyed person pressed his finger to the pendant, which appeared to be made of glass, and layers of pale blue light lit up on it, blocking Audrey's path to see the black liquid.

"It's called...... Petroleum. ”

The high-dimensional overlooking person has a strange and complicated expression, and Audrey can only vaguely see a mixture of multiple strange expressions from it.

"This is one of my collections." The high-dimensional overlook emphasized, "—it's just a collector's item." ”

"But if one day you encounter an enemy you can't solve, crush it."

……

Amon raised his eyebrows: "You even collected a drop of sea water from the Chaos Sea?" You don't know if you have some of the ingots, right? ”

"Sea of Chaos?" The high-dimensional overlooker was silent for a moment:

"I'd rather call it."

"Oil."

"This is the original form of the Chaos Sea, and unlike now, this thing is flowing gold that can be used by everyone."

Amon was stunned: "Then this thing should be very important to you, why do you bear ......?"

Why bear to "lose"?

"I can't bear it."

"However, I want to 'lose' it. ”

“……”

Amon pursed his lips: "That's why I can't understand this...... Is this also human nature? ”

"Perhaps." The high-dimensional lookdown looked into the distance and let out a long sigh:

"Probably not."

I can't hold it anymore, and I have to get up early tomorrow

Good night!
