Chapter Ninety-Seven: June is coming

In the dark night, in the green vine forest, Crane closed his eyes and listened to the music that seemed to come from the sky.

He was calm and calm both physically and mentally, but he felt a subtle depression and sadness growing, diffusing and reverberating.

I don't know how long it took, but the melodious melody finally disappeared, and the soft night breeze blew slowly among the hanging pea vines.

Crane sighed silently, opened his eyes, and looked up, only to see the "mysterious queen" Bernadette handing over the "human skull" with holes in her hand to the "servant" of the upper body and the lower body.

"Alright. Bernadette's soft and flat voice followed.

"Thank you for your help. Crane saluted again, manipulating Señol the Wraith to walk back to his side.

At this time, the pea vines shrank upwards and gradually faded, and the turquoise forest soon disappeared.

Klein and Señor landed at the entrance of the bridge at the same time, and there was no one around, except for a group of soldiers guarding the bridge not far away with their backs to this side, no different from before.

The fairytale scene just now seems to be just a hallucination.

It was only at this time that Klein had time to examine his secret puppet, and found that he was more like a dead man than before, with a pale face, a cold breath, and a distinctly eerie feeling.

This should be the result of a one-time large dose of erosion...... If you were just on duty at Chanis Gate, once or twice a week, one day at a time, it shouldn't be so serious, and it wouldn't be unbearable for two months...... If this is the case, even the Orthodox Church cannot afford such attrition...... It is estimated that normal internal caretakers can survive for several years, or even ten years, but they are prone to mutation and loss of control in the middle...... Hey, when they chose to become internal caretakers, they should have known that this would happen...... Crane sighed and let the "resentful spirit" Señor project himself onto the gold coin inside the iron cigarette case.

Immediately afterward, he used "travel" in succession, first going around the sea to pick out food for the "wriggling hunger" before returning to the master bedroom bathroom at 160 Berklund Street.

Sunday, June 5th, inside the castle of the Hall family.

Audrey was sitting at her desk, admiring the magical items she had just harvested.

It is shaped like a long black tulle glove that reaches to the elbow, as if it is out of the royal family, and has a noble and elegant temperament.

This stems from the extraordinary properties of the "Chaos Mentor" sold by Gelman Sparrow of the "World", which was made by the "craftsman" for a certain period of time.

- Audrey consulted her father, Earl Hall, in advance, and got the answer that "you can buy it, you can use it yourself, and it is good to have filial piety", so she specially told Mr. "Hanged Man" to let the "craftsman" make it an item that a lady can carry with her.

And this also made her a little suspicious that Dad had a better magical item on him, or that the Church of the Goddess provided a fairly high standard of protection.

According to the "Hanged Man", the tulle glove can achieve extraordinary results in several ways for the wearer:

The first is to improve the majesty and physique, so that the surrounding creatures unconsciously lower their stature and want to obey;

the second is the ability to "distort" the target language, actions, and intentions, so as to construct certain rules that are beneficial to oneself;

The third is through the symbolic sense of "bribery", so that the target has a strong sense of favor, it is difficult to emerge hostile intentions, and even unwilling to fight with the wearer, if the conditions are right, the bribe recipient has a very small probability of counterattacking his companion, Audrey listened to Mr. "World" said, this is a kind of "bribery" extraordinary ability, called "bribery-charm";

The fourth is to make the locked target or a certain area around it "chaotic", making it difficult for the attack to fall on oneself and making it easy for the enemy to "choose" the wrong one.

Audrey was very satisfied with these effects, but what annoyed her was that because the "craftsman" himself was not at the level of the craftsman, the negative impact of the Sequence 5 magical items produced was quite large:

First, it will make the carrier's psychology gradually darken, always hoping to take shortcuts, use conspiracy, and rely on dishonorable means to do things, and secondly, after wearing it for more than 3 minutes, the user himself will also fall into a state of chaos, Audrey tried it before, and as a result, she made a mistake unconsciously in the bath.

Originally, the normal process was to let the maid put hot water first, adjust the temperature, then undress herself, enter the bathtub, and finally complete the cleaning, but Audrey went to the bathtub first, then put cold water, and waited until the clothes were soaked before remembering to take them off.

The only thing she was glad about was that she finally controlled herself and didn't call the maid in to witness her own troubles.

It makes me look like a curly-haired baboon!, Audrey thought a little annoyed.

For the first negative effect, she feels that it is acceptable, because she is a "psychiatrist", she can often examine herself, eliminate some dark thoughts, and Susie helps from the perspective of a bystander, but the second one is a little unbearable.

The second negative effect is very problematic, I can only carry it with me first, and then wear it at a critical moment, ah yes, I still have "lies", it can amplify my emotions, and with this glove, it will make the darkness in my heart very serious, and I may not be able to resist it now...... Audrey's eyes rolled, contemplating a solution.

Just then, she heard a knock on the door.

Her valet Anne said outside:

"Miss, the Count has something to look for you. ”

Audrey let the black tulle gloves sit on the table, got up, went to the door, and opened the door.

Count Hall, who did not wear a coat at home, but a shirt and waistcoat, touched his beautiful mustache and said with a smile:

"Aren't you ready yet? I'm going to be back to Beckland later.

"Tomorrow night is your 18th birthday ball. ”

As he spoke, Earl Hall glanced at the maid Anne and the others, and made them consciously withdraw some distance.

"Hey, it's social season again. Audrey nodded maturely. (Note 1)

Count Hall glanced at his daughter and asked with a smile:

"Have you figured out what to do with that item?"

Audrey smiled and said:

"Of course.

"I'm going to fold it up and put it in a small bag for Susie to carry. ”

In this way, because she is not wearing or using it, Susie will not have a chaotic situation, and her psychological dark problems can be soothed and treated by Audrey, and more importantly, without the increase of "lies", Susie, who is also a "psychiatrist", can also examine herself and adjust her mental state from time to time.

Earl Hall was stunned, and said with a smile:

"Clever way. ”

Audrey was proud for a while, but on the surface she said quite reservedly:

"I'm going to name it 'The Hand of Fear.'

"Dear Earl, thank you for your birthday gift~"

And in a few more days, I can mix potions and try to get promoted!, Audrey added with joy in her heart.

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

Sunday night, 160 Berlund Street.

Klein stood on the balcony, looking through the gap in the curtain, looking out at the street scene, and his heart was uncontrollably a little nervous.

If nothing happens, he'll be ready to start stealing Antigonus' notes.

Since with the help of the "mysterious queen" Bernadette, she has made her secret puppet appear to be eroded, and through frequent prayers, scriptures and donations, she has figured out the rotation of the internal caretaker, and there is only one thing left to prepare for Klein's stealing plan.

That's how to quietly and unnoticeably take over the target!

According to Klein's understanding, those internal caretakers, as soon as the day dawns, will go underground, and at this time, the church has not yet opened, and if you want to sneak in directly, you must risk being discovered by the demigod of the Archbishop of the Diocese of Beckland, so to speak, there is basically no possibility of success.

So, Klein's plan was to sneak into the church a day early and wait patiently for the opportunity.

This undoubtedly requires adequate camouflage, but it is not difficult for the Facelings.

After a period of observation, Klein discovered that the church also had a large mass on Sunday night, because both Sunday and night were symbols of the goddess.

After the Mass, the servants would be busy for a while, cleaning up the garbage and debris outside.

Crane's plan was to seize the opportunity to quietly stun a servant, enter the church under the guise of him, and sleep in the lower room.

For this reason, he had bought a suitable dosage of sleeping potion from Emlyn "The Moon" in advance to make people sleep for 10 hours without causing physical harm, and paid a full 5 pounds.

Call...... After a few minutes, Crane exhaled slowly, drew the curtains, and walked back into the room, taking four steps backwards into the gray mist.

Sitting in the place belonging to the "fool", he pondered for nearly a minute, then took out a pen and paper and wrote down the divination sentence:

"It's dangerous to steal the Antigonus family notes this time. ”

Setting up the dark red round-bellied fountain pen, Crane removed the pendulum from the cuff of his left wrist and held the silver chain in his left hand, so that the citrine pendant hung from the paper, almost touching.

He entered into meditation, closed his eyes, silently recited the divination sentence, and after seven times in a row, he slowly opened his eyes and saw that the spiritual position was turning clockwise, with an ordinary amplitude and an average speed.

Dangerous, but within normal range...... Klein was quick to interpret it.

He was actually a little worried about whether this was interfered with by someone again, just like the "Mother Tree of Desire" once did, but this could not be confirmed, let alone falsified.

So, when the results of the divination, the plan, and his own preparation all met the necessary conditions, Klein had already made a decision.

He looked at the citrine pendant, which gradually stopped turning, and said in a low voice in his native language:

"The arrow is on the line, and it has to be sent. ”

Before he could finish speaking, Klein let the spirit envelop him, simulating the feeling of falling and returning to the real world.

This time, he planned to carry only three items with him, one was "Wriggling Hunger", the second was "Segnor Gold Coins", and the third was "Azk Bronze Whistle", all of which had a common feature that they could all be placed in an iron cigarette case, providing double cover with "Paper Angels" and "Spirit Walls".

There is a high probability that the rest of the things will not pass through Chanismen, which will easily cause the mutation of the sealing core, so Klein threw them all along with the cash on the gray mist, ready to flee immediately if there is a problem.

That is, 12,800 pounds to buy 3% of the shares of the Coim company can only be tied to the identity of Dawn Dantès...... Crane quickly gathered his thoughts, took a mirror, and placed it on the pillow.

Next, he drew the mysterious symbol that summoned the "Magic Mirror" Arodes.

Note 1: The historical London social season is from December after Christmas to June, and when this book is set up, considering the arrangement of some plots and the main belief of Rune's high society as the "Lord of the Storm", the time to discuss national affairs is placed in the storm-prone June to September, and the social season naturally becomes June to New Year, of course, on the weekends of autumn and winter, the nobles will definitely go to the countryside to hunt foxes, don't get confused, don't answer the opposite when others ask about the London social season.
