Beckland, home of furniture merchant Hamples.

Audrey once again meets Herwin Lambis, a member of the Psychological Alchemy Council.

The old gentleman was still gentle and elegant, his white and thick hair neatly combed, and his blue and deep eyes seemed to contain countless knowledge.

As soon as she saw him, Audrey's eyes were confused at first, and then suddenly, as if she had finally woken up from a long dream and retrieved her lost memories.

But she was not surprised or surprised by this, and accepted this fact without any resistance, as if it was a very normal thing.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Rambis. Audrey greeted with such standard etiquette that she couldn't fault the slightest mistake.

Herwin bowed his head lightly and replied with a smile:

"Good afternoon, our girl. ”

In the past few meetings in the past month, he gradually guided Audrey's self-positioning to "the pride of the Psychological Alchemy Society" and "the most important girl".

Audrey glanced down at the diamond pin in front of her, smiled and sat down, waiting for Herwin Lambis to speak.

For the so-called hints and guidance, she was actually not affected by the preparation every time, at this time, hearing the name of Herwin Lambis, I wanted to roll my eyes regardless of the image, without etiquette, and without fear of exposure, but in the end I held back and did not show a trace.

Herwin Lambis looked at Audrey for a few seconds, and said with a smile:

"You've done a good job during this time, and as a reward, we've decided to give you the potion recipe for the 'Dream Walker'. ”

As he spoke, he took out a neatly folded piece of paper from his jacket pocket, put it on the coffee table, and pushed it to the aristocratic girl diagonally opposite.

Audrey pressed her hand on her skirt, got up slightly, took the paper, and unfolded it in front of Herwin Lambis.

Her gaze fell first on the main material, and then quickly slid to the ritual part:

"Main material: a dream catcher's heart, a crystallization of a psychic phantom, or the full brain of an adult psychic dragon. ”

......

"Ritual: Find the spirit head harpy, sign a pact with it, then take one of its tail feathers and take the potion in a fierce mood of joy or anger. ”

As if sensing Audrey's doubts, Herwin Lambis explained with a smile:

"The human-headed bird demon has the ability to wake people up from dreams, so the essence of the whole ritual is that when you are addicted to dreams and do not want to wake up, you will be pulled out through an external force, otherwise you may fall asleep forever, or you may lose control and become a monster on the spot. ”

Audrey nodded thoughtfully:

"Taking magic potions in a fierce mood is also to make yourself sleep unstable and not fall asleep?"

"Yes, you've got the key. Herwin Lambis smiled and said, "If you don't know much about the spirit world and can't find the head harpie, we can help. ”

If the essence of the ritual is to wake me up from a dream, then I don't necessarily need a head harpy, and the blessing of Mr. Fool's angel can keep me awake in my dream, and I can wake up when I want...... Audrey's blue eyes turned slightly, revealing a little expectant emotion and said:

"I can try it myself first. ”

"Okay. Herwin didn't care much about the girl's desire to take an adventure.

He paused, then said:

"There's one more thing for you to do this time, and if you do it well, we'll provide you with all the materials for the 'Dream Walker' potion. ”

"What's the matter?" asked Audrey, as usual, without any resistance.

Herwin Lambis's expression was a little more serious, and he said:

"Find out the attitude of your father, Earl Hall, the current Duke of Negan, Admiral Emilius, and other nobles towards a larger war. ”

"War ......" Audrey repeated this often-heard and slightly unfamiliar word, vaguely feeling that ripples had opened up under the surface of the calm lake.

............

Above the gray fog of the "...... of War", Crane listened to Miss "Justice" and fell into thought.

He was currently unsure whether the Psychic Alchemy, or Hermes, or even Adam, who was hiding behind them, welcomed or opposed the war.

As for whether the king of Rune, the prime minister, and some nobles and parliamentarians wanted war, the answer was relatively clear.

Last year, the "Hanged Man" asked Miss "Justice" a similar question, and her answer was that the king and the prime minister had a tendency to war, but chose to do a good job of internal change first and straighten out all aspects of the relationship.

Now, almost a year later, the policies introduced at that time are basically on the right track.

In other words, it's time to start a war and reclaim the part of the benefits that Rune lost in East Bailang!

This is a time of change, with fierce internal contradictions in various countries, and once a war starts, the degree is mostly uncontrollable...... Moreover, Adam, Amon and other angel kings have returned one after another, or have obtained key items, or are seeking breakthroughs, and the mysterious world is also a storm, and the crisis is hidden...... Crane sighed and returned to the real world.

The next day, according to the scheduled itinerary, he first went to St. Samuel's Church to pray and donated dozens of pounds in cash, and then went to 22 Pesfield Street, intending to participate in some of the affairs of the "Rune Charity Scholarship".

As soon as he entered, Klein saw Miss Audrey Hall descending the stairs with several Foundation staff members and heading for the door.

This aristocratic girl is dressed very plainly today, her hair is simply pulled up, she does not wear any ornaments, her dress is light green, only the cuffs are ruffled, and there is no lace or tassels.

"Good morning, Miss Audrey. Crane took off his hat familiarly, saluted, and nodded to the staff and said good morning.

When Audrey responded, Klein asked casually:

"Where are you going?"

He knew that Miss Justice's main job at the Foundation was to collect donations from the gentlemen and ladies of high society.

Audrey responded with a light smile:

"I visited various universities and cared about the students I had helped before. ”

Speaking of this, she blinked, and her smile became a little more obvious:

"Monsieur Dantès, would you like to go with you? go and see the children, some of whom are already young people, who have the opportunity to change their destiny because of your ideas and kindness. ”

Although Klein didn't think about getting anything in return from the "Rune Charity Scholarship Fund", he sincerely hoped that it would help the target group, so he was still quite concerned about the actual progress and the real situation at present, and nodded with a smile after a little hesitation:

"It's an invitation you can't refuse. ”

They went out and, at the suggestion of Miss Audrey, opted for a trackless public carriage.

"You seem to have gotten used to it?" asked Klein, who gentlemanly asked Miss Audrey to sit down, and then sat across from him, smiling.

Audrey looked at the nearby Foundation staff and said with a smile:

"It's not the first time, I can't take my own carriage every time I go out, they use public transport.

Speaking of this, she paused a little embarrassedly and said:

"The first time I rode in this kind of carriage, I took out a one-pound note, and the lady who collected it told me to go down and buy some newspapers.

"Well, it's cleaner than I thought, and the smell in the air isn't too unbearable. ”

Klein bowed his head lightly and said:

"Because the really poor don't even take this kind of public transport, they prefer to walk, whereas normally they don't have to go and can't go far. ”

"Mr. Dantès, you seem familiar with these?" Audrey asked in front of others, although she could guess the reason.

Klein smiled and said:

"I haven't experienced it directly, but I've seen too much. ”

Audrey did not continue the topic, but instead talked about the recipients who had to confirm their studies and living conditions.

In the midst of small talk, they arrived at the first stop of the visit, the Technical University of Beckland.

Based on Audrey's identity and Dawn Dantès's social connections, they met directly with the president of the newly formed university, Mr. Portland Mormont, a resident of 100 Berlund Street.

The old man, tall and ruddy-complexioned, and with a loud voice, spoke with his good neighbor Dawn Dantès and the honorable Miss Audrey about the events that had taken place since the establishment of the school, and from time to time complained about the Higher Education Commission.

Audrey and Klein listened with a good smile, occasionally echoing.

Finally, they found an opportunity and offered to get to work.

Portland was about to call his secretary in when he heard a knock on his office door.

"Please come in. The principal replied loudly.

The door opened without making any noise, and a girl with black hair and brown eyes entered, she was not dressed in any way, her face was thin, her facial features were quite upright, and she looked like she was seventeen or eighteen years old.

Klein's gaze suddenly deepened a little, and he quickly retracted it.

The girl didn't expect that there were guests in the principal's office, so she was a little nervous for a while, and hurriedly bowed her head and said:

"I'm sorry. ”

"It's okay, they're getting ready to leave. Portland said nonchalantly, "The items you made last week have been made?"

"That's it. The girl passed through the door and stood aside.

Portland Mormont then smiled at Dawn Dantès and Audrey:

"Her name is Melissa Moretti, and she has a talent for mechanics, and I stumbled upon her, so I asked her to help out in my lab after school, but of course, she can only do odd jobs at the moment. ”

"Not bad. The corners of Crane's mouth turned up, and the smile was visibly praised.

Audrey glanced at him and then smiled:

"There are always arrogant guys who say that women don't have a talent for mechanics, and this lady proved them wrong. ”

Portland shook his head with a smile and said:

"Don't worry about those remarks, okay, I'll let the secretary take you to find out about the beneficiaries of the help. ”

Audrey and Klein left the office without lingering.

Going out, Audrey glanced at Daun Dantès again, but said nothing.
