Chapter 57: Interlude

After losing everything except his clothes, Ernes Boyar was stunned for a moment, completely sober.

What am I doing? What have I done? The Blood Baron finally remembered what he had been deliberately forgotten before, and remembered those clear green eyes.

Psychological suggestion, no, hypnosis...... ErnΓ©s Boyar, half resentful and half unable to contain fear, looked left and right, instinctively re-examining his situation.

His gaze fell on the hill-like figure, and he saw Father Utravsky, whose eyebrows were sparse and pare.

In an instant, Ernes Boyar's ideas collided with each other, and a strong idea quickly burst out.

He didn't resist, and blurted out:

"I'll be here to volunteer for a month!"

- Emlyn's story has long been spread in Beckland's blood circles, and Ernes Boyar has been known to Father Utrawski for a long time, knowing that even if he resists, he will not escape the fate of the volunteers, so it is better to simply surrender and choose the conditions that are more favorable to him.

At least it can't be hinted at, and it can't be converted to "Mother Earth Goddess...... As soon as Ernes had crossed his mind, he noticed that Father Utrawski was carrying a lantern with a strange candle wrapped in human skin and protruding from the pimples.

In the dim light of the candlelight, Ernes's pupils dilated again, and only one thought remained in his mind, echoing endlessly:

It's psychological suggestion again......

At this moment, he felt that the shadow in his heart was so thick.

"Good. Fr. Utrawski nodded and agreed to Ernes boyar's request.

Emlyn smiled with a mixture of smugness and pleasure, and looked at the various items he had just caught, like a farmer who had reaped a good harvest.

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

St. Cilland's Square, on the third floor of a West Velas-style restaurant, in a private room, the light suddenly dimmed, and a large shadow appeared.

Tiny bats flew out of the darkness and quickly gathered together.

Smoke billowed up, and the pale silver-haired, scarlet-eyed Count Mistral appeared in the place where the bats had gathered, and everything around him returned to normal.

His servant, a middle-aged man in a dark suit, immediately stepped forward and saluted, asking:

"Your Excellency, do you want to dine now?"

He could not tell from the count's face whether things were going well or difficult, whether the end result was success or failure, but he did not dare to ask.

Mistral bowed his head lightly and said:

"Yes. ”

He walked to the table with a calm face, and sat down as he took off the sapphire ring, without losing any of his grace, as if he had just gone out to feed the white dove.

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

"It's rich and peculiar, but it's not bad......" In the box next to Count Mistral, Klein, with his ordinary face, was enjoying and commenting on a dish that was very Sivelas-style - lamb stomach offal.

Although this disciplinary action was a cooperative attempt by several members of the Tarot Society, and did not require the intervention of "the world" or even "Mr. Fool", Klein considered that Miss "Justice" and "Moon" Emlyn either had no similar experience or were inexperienced, and still quietly came to the vicinity as a final guarantee.

He had the puppet pray to the "Fool" at the table, and he himself entered the private bathroom of the box, came to the gray mist, and with the help of the corresponding points of light, expanded his vision to the entire square and the surrounding area.

At the same time, he always held the "Poseidon Scepter", ready to immediately rain lightning from the sky to stop it if he found something wrong.

However, he didn't do anything in the end, and the whole thing went even more smoothly than he expected:

Needless to say, the "Star" Leonard, who is experienced in combat, and Miss "Justice", who participated in this kind of thing for the first time, also behaved beyond his imagination, not nervous at all, and showed no signs of panic!

Also, the sequence 6 of a "spectator" pathway, in terms of controlling their emotions, is definitely better than most of the middle and low sequencers in different ways, even if there is really any uneasiness, before starting to act, they can rely on extraordinary ability to solve it...... Crane nodded imperceptibly and continued to taste other food.

Outside the window, on St. Cilland's Square, the sounds of flutes, violins, accordions, and lyres are staggered or overlapped, melodious and scattered.

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

On St. Hillland Square, a horse-drawn taxi slowly bypasses the edge.

Leonard Mitchell, who was about to return to the north bank of the Beckland Bridge, looked at the white doves in the center of the square, and suddenly lowered his voice:

"Old man, do you think this operation will succeed in the end?"

After dragging Ernest Boyar into a dream, he flipped through the "Lemanno's Travel Notes" to stimulate the "Angel's Embrace", rode in a carriage, and left the scene, not knowing whether the subsequent development went smoothly.

In his mind, Parles Zoroased replied angrily:

"In the Fourth Age, there was a proverb: 'Believe in the power of the gods.' ’”

However, the old man still doesn't know enough about the Tarot Society, and Mr. "Fool" is only a witness most of the time, and there is no so-called acquiescence...... Leonard muttered a few words in his heart, and digressed the topic:

"How does it feel like this proverb is not finished?"

- He did not inform Parles Zoroaster about the details of the Tarot Society, but only mentioned it in general terms, and relayed what Mr. "Fool" had agreed to.

Pales "hey" and said:

"Indeed, there is the second half of the sentence, 'Do not believe in their mercy.' ”

Believe in the power of the gods, not in their mercy...... Leonard repeated it silently, looking down at the notebook in his hand with a hard, patina cover.

He then whispered with emotion:

"It's a 'Level 1' seal, and the way to resolve the negative effects is very simple. ”

Before this operation, considering that the "Moon" realm also has some dark authority, and the extraordinary people of this path will have a strong resistance to nightmare influences at a certain level, Leonard originally wanted to borrow "Wriggling Hunger" directly from "World" Crane Moretti, but in the follow-up discussion, Miss "Magician" mentioned the characteristics of this "Lymanno Travel Notes", which gave him a better choice.

So, he was already in charge of using the "Angel Embrace", and borrowed "Wriggling Hunger" from Klein for three hours, recording several useful extraordinary abilities, including "Bribe-Weaken".

"It's a family of Abraham thing. Parles Zoroasdein said with some sighs.

Leonard already knew, nodded imperceptibly, and asked instead:

"Old man, do you have any way to weaken or control the negative impact of the magical item I mentioned earlier?"

"Can that be called a magical item? it's something that needs to be sealed!" said Paris, first leonard, "Didn't you say it had the property of being alive? That's relatively easy to solve." ”

Leonard relaxed, looked out the window again, and admired St. Hillland's Cathedral, which was partly close to the factory.

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

St. Samuel's Church is located on Persfield Street in the North End, at the entrance of the "Rune Charity Scholarship".

Audrey, who had changed her clothes and looked like an ordinary girl, stepped out of the carriage.

- She had removed the newsboy disguise in the hotel room she had prepared, and that room had been booked by Emlyn and had nothing to do with her.

At this time, there were several people coming and going at the door of the "Rune Charity Scholarship Fund", but Audrey walked over without any scruples.

No one looked at her, as if she was living in another world.

Audrey walked briskly through the hall, up to the second floor, to her own trustee's office, and all the people she met along the way seemed to be playing games with her, pretending not to see her, not surprised that a strange girl was doing here.

At the door of the office, Audrey was about to open the door and enter, when she suddenly heard a familiar voice inside:

"Miss Audrey, this is the total amount of donations you've raised this week......"

The corners of Audrey's mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly, and she nudged the half-hidden door and walked in.

In the office, a staff member is holding a stack of papers and showing it to the person behind the desk.

The one behind the desk was a big golden retriever with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses hanging from his neck.

It sat in the position belonging to the director, flipped through the documents at will, and said to the staff:

"No problem. ”

The staff immediately took back the document and smiled at the golden retriever:

"Then I'm out, Miss Audrey. ”

Behind her, Audrey held back a smile and walked to the next set of sofas to sit down, quietly watching her leave, without disturbing the golden retriever to read the other documents.

Susie read all kinds of materials carefully, afraid that something would go wrong with her role and affect Audrey's affairs.

After a while, she suddenly looked left and right with some confusion:

"Audrey, are you back?"

"How did you find that?" Audrey stood up from the couch and appeared in Susie's eyes.

For this action, she specially communicated with Susie once, asking her to work in the "Rune Charity Scholarship Fund" instead of her, and then, leading the golden retriever dog, in turn, hypnotized the staff who would have contact with her for a day, so that they could treat Susie as Audrey.

As for possible visitors, she told the staff that they would only be available in the afternoon.

And the signal for the dissolution of this hypnosis is the church bell at two o'clock in the afternoon.

After seeing Audrey, Susie jumped off the seat and said helplessly:

"It's almost two o'clock. ”

Also...... Audrey grimaced at herself, hurried into the small room where she was resting, changed into her own clothes, and used the ability of "Lies" to manipulate the flames to burn off her previous disguise.

Back in the office, seated in her place, she relaxed and clasped her hands to her lips.

Frankly, she was nervous all the time, but before and after the operation, she managed to "reassure" herself and nothing went wrong.

In retrospect, it's still quite interesting, and how to compensate the affected people was also discussed...... Audrey, well done! The smile on the face of the beautiful blonde girl bloomed little by little, and gradually brightened.

After this incident, she found that her "hypnotist" potion had digested a lot again, and she also determined one thing, that is, the "bribe-charm" ability of the magical item "Hand of Fear" perfectly matched her "hypnosis"!

Well, I also learned that Mr. "Moon" is called Emlyn White...... He didn't want to hide it, because he had to tell me, or he wouldn't have been able to achieve his goal...... Uh-huh, or give the church a name, but that would reveal his identity...... I was still a little nervous, too stiff during hypnosis, and I used the words "first hypnosis" too directly...... Audrey "soothed" her slightly agitated emotions and carefully examined the whole process of today's operation, hoping to learn from the experience and lessons.

When!

The bell rings on the hour in the church of St. Samuel, which signifies the arrival of two o'clock in the afternoon.

In No. 22 Pesfield Street, where the "Rune Charity Scholarship Fund" is located, several staff members trembled slightly when they heard the bell, and then continued to busy themselves as if nothing had happened.

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

When!

At the sound of church bells, Klein, who had reverted to the appearance of Dawn Dantès, once again walked to the balcony of 160 Berklund Street and looked out at the Macht house.

At that moment, a carriage passed by the door of his mansion and drove to the other side of the street.

Huo Ran, Klein's intuition was touched, and a picture appeared in his mind:

A gray mouse was lying on the window of the carriage, leisurely looking at the scenery in the street.
