Chapter 259: Hidden Dangers
In the living room, Countess Caitlyn sat on a sofa, and in front of her stood the deputy butler, the butler's assistant, and the deacon of the corresponding affairs.
She was well organized, and ordered all kinds of things at the dinner today, until her daughter Audrey came to her side.
"Mom, I have something to tell you. Audrey's gaze swept over the others in the room.
On the way to the living room, she felt the ground tremble slightly, but she didn't notice anything else.
The Countess looked around and bowed her head lightly:
"You wait before you come in. β
The living room quickly became quiet, and even Susie, the big golden retriever, was pushed out of the door by Audrey's eyes.
"You should always be by my side and learn how to deal with things, and although there is no shortage of such content in your family curriculum, how to effectively combine them with practice is still an advanced science. The countess, who was over fifty years old and looked to be in her early thirties, smiled and said, "All right, my little angel, what is the matter with you?"
Audrey wanted to smile elegantly that she had practiced repeatedly in etiquette class, but found herself unable to lift the corners of her mouth with heavy nervousness.
She pursed her lips from the dry side of her hair and said directly:
"Mom, I have something to hide from you. β
"Huh?" the countess tilted her head slightly, waiting for a follow-up explanation.
Audrey's words were first stupefied, and then became fluent:
"I've been, I've been an extraordinary, a person with magical abilities, who has become by taking potions. β
The blonde Countess Caitlin raised her eyebrows lightly and replied in surprise:
"I know.
"Your father and I know. β
"Huh?" Audrey didn't know what to do with the rest of the story.
The Countess covered her mouth and smiled:
"You took so many magical materials from the treasury, are you still naΓ―ve to think that your father and I didn't notice it?
"Your father's side, in this villa, in the family territory, there are many extraordinary people, they either come from a simple employment relationship, or from the Church of the Goddess, or are themselves members of the Hall family, His Majesty the King has acquiesced to these things, and we have acquiesced to your little adventures, hey, you will eventually grow up, you will mature, your father and I cannot always protect you under our wings, there will always be times when you need to face certain things alone, there are additional magical abilities to help make your hole cards better.
"Well, according to the common sense I know, the initial stage should not be so dangerous, and the ascension will take a year, two, or even three years, so your father and I are not in a hurry, and we plan to wait until you are officially an adult to warn you a few words, so that you can stay where you are. β
No, Mom, your common sense is wrong, you don't know that the play method exists, if the materials are ready, I can become a "psychiatrist" in Sequence 7 before the New Year...... And, I don't want to stop, the death of Duke Negan has made me understand that the world is not as stable and calm as I thought it would be, and I want to have the strength to protect you at a critical moment......
Mr. Fool is gradually revived, and evil gods are trying to descend, and although I am not mature enough to lack the necessary knowledge, I can perceive the unspeakable danger in these things...... Audrey had always been well aware that the extraordinary materials she had taken from the treasury were an inescapable problem, but she was lucky enough to think that her parents did not know the specific purpose of those objects, and at best suspected that she was sinking deeper and deeper into the circle of occult lovers.
After relieving herself of the burden on her heart, she avoided her mother's advice and spoke:
"Mother, I later joined a secret organization, the kind that does not worship evil gods, please forgive me for not being able to name its name and details, I have made a vow for this. β
Without waiting for the countess to ask, she got to the point first:
"I received news today that the commoner girl Prince Edsak fell in love with was a witch who had no idea what plot they were hatching. β
There is actually no necessary connection between the two paragraphs before and after, the former refers to the "Psychological Alchemy Society", but the source of the latter news is the Tarot Society, Mr. "Fool".
Through this word order, every word she says is true, and it can be confirmed by divination, but it will make people believe that her news comes from the secret organization of the "Psychological Alchemy Society".
The smile on Caitlin's face faded away, and she asked solemnly:
"Witch?"
She doesn't know much about the mysterious world, but the term alone can make her feel evil and uneasy.
Audrey nodded quickly and said:
"Yes, a 'Witch of Pleasure'.
"And what scares me even more is that her name is Trisquirk. β
"What's wrong with that?" asked the countess, puzzled.
"There were members of that group who had seen the name Chick on an old book. Audrey said the lie she had just made up, and there were no flaws in her tone, her words, the details of her expressions, or her body movements, "In the Quaternary or earlier, it belonged to the primordial witch. β
Immediately after, she added solemnly:
"That's an evil god!"
Countess Caitlyn didn't understand what the "primordial witch" meant, but knew exactly what the evil god meant.
She suddenly couldn't sit still, and asked rhetorically at a faster pace:
"Are you sure?"
β...... Up in the air. Audrey didn't believe in Mr. "Fool" without the slightest suspicion, but on the surface she couldn't say so, "In any case, I think it is necessary to ask the royal family, no, to ask the extraordinary person of the Church of the Goddess to make a certain confirmation, when it comes to evil gods, no matter how cautious it is, it is right." β
Caitlin looked up at her daughter in surprise:
β...... Audrey, you've grown up. β
If it weren't for the urgency of the matter, Audrey, who heard such praise, would definitely pretend to be reserved, first be modest and coquettish, and then go back to the room to be proud, and even dance in circles for a short time.
But now, she didn't care about these at all, and was busy letting worries and nervousness clearly surface on the surface:
"Mom, can you help me hide it? I've heard that the extraordinary people of the church and the royal family are extremely hateful to secret organizations that don't belong to them, well, you can say yes, that my father got the news, and he should have a lot of channels. β
Caitlin stood up and gave her daughter a hug:
"Don't worry, neither my father nor I will let you get involved in such a thing.
"Your father won't be back until the evening, so I'll let the hidden guard appear first, pretending to be the one who delivered the news, and then I'll go to the Extraordinary One sent by the Church of the Goddess to protect our family. β
"Good!" Audrey replied delightfully.
At this time, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, exhausted from the high tension that had been maintained for a while.
............
Watching several flaming meteorites fall at high speed, enveloping the entire forest, Crane actually had the idea of being powerless to resist and desperately waiting for death.
Even if he kept using the flames to jump, he couldn't get out of the woods and get out of the dangerous core area before the "meteor shower" hit the ground, and the fragile body of the extraordinary person with the "fortune teller" path was not possible to carry the meteorite hard.
Even a living corpse that cannot be injured by a pistol, under such an "attack", will directly turn into pieces or flesh puree, and it is a charred one...... Fire Jump...... A yellowish-white light reflected in the depths of his eyes, and Crane, who had never given up, quickly had an idea.
In this kind of scene, which is measured in seconds, he did not hesitate, and decided to do it when he thought of it.
Syllable!
After calculating the distance, Crane snapped his fingers, allowing the remaining flames in the matchbox to ignite at the same time.
A crimson flame rose up, enveloping his figure in a swift manner.
Without a sound, Crane vanished in place, flashing in the flames above the meteorite.
Brush!
The meteor fell rapidly, and as soon as he leaped out of the flames, he had already left the meteorite and plunged into the frighteningly hot air around him.
At the moment when he jumped with his extraordinary ability, Klein was not afraid of ordinary flames, even if the temperature was a little higher, but after he got out of that state, he could only try his best to manipulate the flames to avoid himself, and he would also be burned and burned to death.
In addition, the hot air was not within the range of his "jump".
Syllable!
Klein snapped his fingers again, causing the air at the critical point to explode instantly.
He flashed into another flame, trying to avoid the first wave of the meteorite hitting the ground.
However, no matter how much he tried and risked his life, he still couldn't get out of danger, and there were only two options left, either jump into the trees that avoided the front and withstand the impact of meteorites, or jump around like an acrobatic performer above, waiting for the "mushroom cloud" to engulf him.
At this moment, Klein seemed to see himself torn apart, his body blackened, and he looked like he was on fire.
The thought flashed in his mind, and there was a sudden change in front of his eyes, the red became redder, the yellow became more yellow, the white became whiter, and all kinds of colors were richly superimposed, depicting a strange oil painting!
The "oil painting" seems to be detached from the real world, allowing Klein to watch as the meteorite "slowly" falls and hits the ground.
The forest was destroyed in an instant, the ground shook visibly a few times, and the smoke mixed with the fire rose upwards, forming a strange mushroom-shaped cloud.
This impact did not affect Klein, because it could not enter the "world of oil painting" where the color blocks overlapped and resembled a static shape.
...... Klein was stunned for a moment, and then saw a figure next to him.
The figure was of medium stature, with bronze skin, a long black gown, a half-height silk top hat, brown eyes that showed the vicissitudes of life, soft features, and a small black mole under the right ear.
"Mr. Azik!" Klein exclaimed.
He finally knew what the revelation of the original divination corresponded to.
It's now!
"Sea of Blood" represents mortal conditions, and "being pulled up by Mr. Azik" means that he has been saved because of him!
As soon as he left his words, Azk waved his hand, grabbed his arm, and walked towards the depths of various rich colors!
............
The ordinary-looking quill no longer writes on its own, and its surface is a little darker.
The serious middle-aged man with only one eye left held it, and wrote quickly in a certain psychic state:
"Azik Eggers had clearly not regained all his memories and strength, and his attempts to travel through the spirit and astral realms happened to be problematic at this time, and he and Sherlock Moriarty fell not far from Ince Zangwille and his friends. β
