Chapter 378 Sense of urgency

698

What... Audrey's eyes were slightly wide open, but probably because she was mentally prepared as early as when her father was about to escape, she unexpectedly found that she was actually much calmer than she thought.

So she clenched her skirt, made a panic expression that was in line with the simple noble lady, and looked at her father in disbelief:

"Dad, Hibert wants to go to Intis alone? To inherit the noble title there?"

"Dad, so will mom and I never see Hibert again?"

Earl Hall nodded silently, and the countess gently wiped his tears.

Audrey opened her mouth and said nothing again.

If Alfred is still there, he will be the one who goes to Intis. The second son of a great nobleman will not damage the reputation of Earl Hall and the Hall family, and will also be able to make the most effective bets on both sides... Audrey gritted his teeth silently, but now he is Hibert. The Earl's eldest son is leaving, and this matter will definitely cause an uproar in the social circle... Moreover, Hibert usually has many social interactions and posts with nominees. Although there are definitely many noble families who do this, it will definitely attract others' attention in this period...

But Intis is a country with such a bad reputation. Audrey feels that even if she becomes Sequence 5, she will not feel safe there alone.

Is this the best way to distribute? If in order to preserve the face of the family and the dignity of the nobles, Earl Hall should send his younger daughter and leave his eldest son here. He happened to be an adult and had already become a social adult, and he could engage in another country. This is the legitimate reason to go to another country. After aristocratic women get married, they can basically completely separate from the family. When the Soren family fell, the promoters of the republic were not crazy enough to attack the women from other countries and other families...

Although Audrey is enough to marry a prince in Rooney, she may not be the case when she arrives in Intis.

Because the distant relative Montmar family found by the Earl Hall family was a marquis, Audrey, as a noble who defected to him, would definitely not be able to engage with his eldest son, and maybe even his own family would be difficult to enter. If that were the case, it would be a loss.

Earl Hall's expression had calmed down and he said softly:

"Yes, the relatives of the Montmar family lost some vassals in the war and obtained extra territory. They were willing to 'sell' a title to us. As long as they spend 300,000 pounds, they could get a hereditary baron position. If they doubled, they would be viscount..."

Hibert, who had been sitting silently beside his mother, couldn't help but speak: "Father, you don't need to pay so much. I just need a baron title. Please believe me. I will do my best to safeguard the dignity and pride of the Hall family in a foreign country!"

Audrey looked at her elder brother twice. Hibert's expression and expression were very bad. It seemed that she hadn't had a good sleep for a few days. She sighed quietly, staring at her overlapping fingertips, and began to think about whether to tell Mr. Fool about her family. She really has a little desire to talk to her tutor now, but she can't tell her that this sentence to her tutor, and it doesn't make any sense to talk to Susie, let alone other people in the Psychological Alchemy Club... Audrey thought about all the objects she could talk to, and finally lost the desire to talk to her.

"No need to say anything, my child."

Earl Hall shook his head and said comfortably: "Actually, they are more interested in our shares. It is acceptable to get you the title of viscount. However, the fiefdom may be relatively remote, but it also facilitates you to develop your life silently."

"After all, we are just looking for a way out, not asking you to make achievements in Intis."

"But, father..."

"That's it." Earl Hall took Audrey's hand and softly comforted her daughter who seemed to be a little unacceptable to reality. "Don't be afraid, Audrey, parents will always be by your side. No matter what happens, we will protect you."

Audrey nodded slowly, leaning against her father without saying anything.

...

Audrey returned to the bathroom and skillfully used her essential oils and jewelry to start the ceremony. When water ripples appeared on the mirror, she suddenly felt that her desire to talk almost disappeared was back, but it seemed as if something was blocking her throat and she couldn't say anything.

A figure slowly appeared in the mirror. Audrey was about to say hello, but found that this time the person who appeared in the mirror was a completely stranger. This time, he appeared a middle-aged man with an old look, covered with scars, wearing a linen robe as simple as a monk, and looked at her calmly.

Audrey was stunned for a moment and quickly stood up and saluted: "Hello!"

"Hello."

The figure in the mirror looked at her and replied smoothly: "The Angel of Temperance cannot respond to something, your prayer has come to me. I heard Him mention you, I will not be against you, what are you doing?"

"I, I want to ask Him for a suggestion."

Being able to accept the prayers of the Angel of Temperance is definitely an angel, and it may even be higher... Audrey, who was instinctively alert to the Rose School, felt embarrassed when facing the strange angel, and didn't know whether to sit down or continue standing - in order to express her respect, she chose to continue standing, slowly calm down, and then carefully speak:

"Dear Your Highness, I have encountered something and want to ask Him for advice."

She quickly found a reason. In fact, she just wanted to talk and ask some things.

"My motherland had a war with another country. Before that, my motherland was in a weak position, with blood flowing from the border, and even the capital was bombed by enemy airships. Therefore, my father wanted to protect himself and take us to another country for asylum."

The angel in the mirror listened quietly, and this attitude made Audrey feel more relieved.

"Unfortunately, that country was attacked later. Instead, my motherland won a certain victory in the war, forcing the enemy's army back and forced them back outside the border. The people in my motherland were very happy, but I couldn't feel any joy."

Audrey's eyes fell on a bottle of essential oil on the bathroom dressing table, biting her lip lightly and said:

"I...I found that I actually couldn't accept my father's idea of ​​leaving the country to take refuge, not to mention that I would lose my foundation because of this. But I also knew that he was for our own good. I thought my father should continue to stay now, but now he felt that he should bet on multiple sides and wanted to send my brother to another country, so that no matter which country is defeated in the end, our family can continue."

"Um."

The angel in the mirror still showed nothing about this conspiracy with Audrey: "What kind of advice do you want?"

"Dad made a decision for the life of our family and future lives, and I don't think I have the right to blame him."

Audrey thought, clenching her hand:

"Let my brother go to Intis to inherit the title alone, which is also the best way to preserve the strength of our family... I am a psychologist and once a mind reader. I can read out that there is disappointment and helplessness in my heart. I can continue to stay in Ruen, live a stable life and continue to participate in the operation of my foundation. This seems to be a good thing, but I, I..."

The God of Bound looked at her, and the mind-reader lowered his head. She hesitated for a long time before finally saying as if she had made up her mind:

"Sorry, Your Highness, this is really hard to say. My life is so beautiful, but I still don't seem to be satisfied with this. I don't seem to be satisfied with getting engaged in order to seek profit and avoid harm in the future. I think... I still have a lot of things I want to do, want to expand my charity, want to go to sea, and want to go to more places... I don't want to continue like this. I'm so greedy, sorry."

"It may not be your fault."

"Maybe because you have established a occult connection with us, some of your thoughts are magnified. You should know that the 'prisoner' pathway will amplify your desires due to curses. Your sequence is too low, and it is normal for Richard to be affected."

Audrey was slightly stunned, but she didn't expect this answer: "...thank you."

Think about it carefully, it was a long time ago that I longed to go to sea for adventure because of Mr. "The Hanging Man". At that time, I did expect to go to sea after becoming stronger one day, and even become a well-known adventurer. But Mr. "World"'s experience also proved that the sea was extremely dangerous, a chaotic country full of blood and violence. The Chinese sequence may die because of accidental anger of a hidden demigod. Such danger effectively dispelled the beautiful fantasy in Audrey's mind.

She always thought that she had become stronger and had grown up now. She should no longer have these unrealistic and beautiful fantasies like before, but probably because she was really depressed recently, and those small ideas emerged again.

"I always feel that I'm not satisfied, but what qualifications do I have to be unsatisfied?"

Audrey sighed softly at the mirror: "I was not born in the Southern Continent, so I don't have to worry about being bought by His Majesty the King as a slave. I was not born in a slum, so I don't have to worry about eating and health. I was born in a noble family and I have everything... Even if my father sent me to marry other nobles, that's what I should do, because I am the daughter of the Earl's family, and after enjoying such a status, I should assume such a responsibility."

Yes, these are all things she should do.

Just as the Angel of Temperance once said to her, they enjoyed too many resources. For Audrey, saying words like "I can't decide my origin" are nothing more than excuses and escapes. Audrey Hall must accept the future fate given by the family.

The price is Audrey's own dream, the future she longs for, and everything she wants.

"Welcome to the Southern Continent."

"We also welcome psychologists to come for consultation," Tolzner said.

The conversation ended not long after it was over. Audrey remembered that she seemed to have just unilaterally confide in something and did not get any advice. She smiled bitterly, pretended to have taken a bath, changed her clothes and left the bathroom.

The close-fitting maid Anne was waiting outside the bathroom. It was getting colder in mid-September. Seeing the lady walking out in her home clothes, she immediately stepped forward and put on a soft robe on Audrey.

"Miss, you have no other arrangements this afternoon. Are you going to take a nap or prepare for afternoon tea?" Anne asked.

Audrey thought for a while and asked:

"I'm going to have a lunch break. Are Teacher Islant available in the afternoon? I want to chat with her."

During this period, the Hall family was very busy. Some servants died and new people needed to be hired to fill it. There were many matters in the fiefdom, as well as joint-stock companies and other things that were affected by the war of gods. I knew that there were still large areas of ruins in the Queens area, and people with noble identities could only temporarily stay back to their fiefdoms or luxury hotels. Earl Hall was also very busy and did not have time to talk to them until today.

In this case, Audrey certainly would not bother her family because of her own affairs. Naturally, she pushed back some social activities and stayed at home and didn't go out - fortunately, no one has the heart to socialize now.

Annie's expression changed for a moment, and Audrey immediately read out the other party's nervousness and hesitation, changed into a smile, and asked softly:

"What's wrong? Annie, are you tired?"

"No, no, Miss." Anne hesitated, "Ms. Islant, she... was unfortunately killed."

Audrey was stunned for a moment, not hiding her sadness and shock at all: "Oh my God, this is simply... Anne, I just knew about this. Please help me prepare a gift and give it to Ms. Islant's family as I am."

"Okay." Anne said.

Audrey remained sad and depressed all the way back to the bedroom. Nine points were real, and only one point was the tension caused by Audrey's guess about the deep meaning of this matter. She lay on the soft big bed, Annie pulled the curtains and retreated outside the bedroom, Susie ran over, putting her front paws and head on the bed, and tilted her head to look at Audrey who was still a little sad.

"What's wrong with you, Audrey?" Susie shook her ears, "You seem to be sad."

Audrey turned over and moved to Susie: "Susie, do you still remember Teacher Islant? She...she was killed."

"Diet?" Susie was also a little stunned, her tail no longer shook. "The teacher of the Psychological Alchemy Club... I like the stories and mystical knowledge she told very much, which means we will never see her again in the future, right?"

After Susie said this, Audrey suddenly felt her nose sore. She tried hard to suppress her feelings and nodded: "Yes."

Susie was obviously lost.

Then, Audrey thought about it and said his guess: "Susie, psychological alchemy seems to be very confused now. When I want to obtain a low-sequence formula, they all have to spend a long time examining my loyalty to the organization. The name of the potion in Sequence 6 was secretly found out, but now they are willing to tell me the potion formula in Sequence 5... I heard from Hewen Lambis that it is called 'Dream Walker'."

When it comes to this name, Audrey is a little disgusting.

But at the moment, the other party not only showed goodwill to her, but also did not make any hypnosis to ask her for information about the nobles, so she endured it.

"Dreamwalker? That is, can we enter other people's dreams?" Susie's tail tip gently swept on the ground, "Well, do you think, they tell you the recipe to get from you, Audrey?"

"I was a little uncertain at first, but now I think...Ms. Islant's death may not be as simple as death."

Audrey made a guess: "There must have been a big change in the psychological alchemy club, so that all the Beckland teams had lost control to varying degrees... This out-of-control means that they had other ideas, such as Herwin Lambis gave up the idea of ​​inquiring about news through me and began to win over me because he thought I still had trust and favors for him because of hypnosis..."

"I seem to understand a little." Susie looked at her curiously, "He wants to pull you into his camp?"

As he said that, he felt a little nauseous, but Audrey remained silent for a while and insisted on analyzing with Susie:

"It should be."

"The Psychological Alchemy now seems to be in chaos. I am really lucky to be able to take advantage of the chaos to get the recipe for Sequence 5. But if I accept the gift from Herwin Lambis, it means I want to join him, at least on the surface, he probably just wants to use the status and strength of the Hall family, and me, as a gunman, which I can completely confirm."

"And, I was hypnotized by him, and I will definitely accept this gift."

"Susie, my idea is that I continue to pretend to be hypnotized, first get this recipe, become Sequence 5, and then help you become Sequence 5, and then observe what Hewen Lambis wants to do. If he wants to be bad for my family and others, I will stop him."

Why do you think that building a church is a very simple thing? Considering it, it is "secret" and the cultural level of the colony. Klein said it very seriously, in fact, it is just to draw a cake to delay time and let them do it as seriously as possible. Without the help of professionals from Silver City, I think that the Rebels and the Rebels can list the outline of the Holy Book within this year.

There was a quarrel at home again, it was a little late. I was annoyed.
