In Queen Backlund, at the home of Viscount Gray Lint, Miss Audrey Hall, who had just come of age, followed the maid and entered the mansion where a banquet was being prepared.
Although Miss Audrey often attended the balls or salons held by Viscount Gray Lint, as the second social dance after the coming-of-age ceremony, Audrey's choice undoubtedly made some people think of it.
This made Gray Lint feel a bit piercing gaze.
After all, that's Audrey Hall!
However, the anxiety in Gray Lint's heart at this time does not come from those jealous eyes. He would rather Audrey really use him as a shield, but the problem is...
He came to see that person!
Although Earl Hall does not seem to realize that his daughter is frequently interacting with the lady killer, but...
"Oh, Gray Lint, it's really rude of you to be distracted like this!"
Audrey's brisk voice rang in the ears of Viscount Graylingt. Viscount Graylingt sighed slightly, but out of the aristocratic instinct of Old Loon, he still showed a social smile and continued.
He took the hand handed over by Audrey, gave it a virtual kiss, and then said with a smile:
"Oh, Miss Hall, it's your beauty that makes me lose my mind."
After finishing speaking, he whispered:
"Audrey! I didn't send an invitation to that guy today! You have to know that this is your first prom in your adult life, and many people will be watching!"
"I'm not here for this." Audrey showed a perfect smile and said softly:
"Remember the surprise I mentioned before?"
"As long as it's not a fright, it'll be fine." Gray Linte felt his heart twitching a little, fearing that he would hear Audrey say some shocking request.
However, Audrey had no intention of speaking immediately. Instead, she winked mischievously and said:
"See you in the study later."
"..."
Gray Linte watched Audrey start to wander around other peers, and suddenly felt that as a pharmacist, he might be trying to prepare a few heart-related medicines.
…
After dancing two dances, Gray Linte and Audrey left the dance floor respectively and came to the small study room where they met Forsi and the others. They looked at Audrey who was flipping through a history of nobility.
, Gray Lint felt that he had a bit of a toothache - this eldest lady is actually reading the history of nobility? What a joke! The book "Mysterious Quest: One Hundred Rituals of My Friends and Me" next to it is the book you will read.
Bar?
"Okay, Audrey, I'm ready, what are you going to say?"
Graylint asked, knowing that he was about to be shot by Count Hall and his two sons for half an hour.
"Don't be so nervous." Audrey obviously sensed the inexplicable fear in Gray Lint's mind at this time. Although she didn't know what he was worried about, Audrey had no intention of continuing to scare him, and instead took the phone from her pocket.
From the small bag, I took out a small box about the size of a matchbox and placed it on the desk——
"This is a very interesting magical item, I think you will like it."
"Mysterious item? Just a magical item?" Gray Linte let out a long sigh of relief, and then became obsessed with curiosity.
He opened the "matchbox" and saw two Rosselvan arrows engraved inside, and said with some confusion:
"How to use this? What capabilities does it have?"
"Have you read Mr. Snow's latest book "Stardust Fighters"?" Audrey did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically.
"Look, is this something similar to a stone ghost face?"
Although Tigrelint had a headache when he heard Snow's name, as a nobleman, it is necessary to follow the trend. Snow's name is very popular in the circle now, so even if he doesn't look like Snow when he sees it,
Name, I don’t want to think about the existence of this person. In order to have enough topics to talk to those ladies and ladies, I must read the previous part.
Audrey shook her head and said:
"The stone ghost face is outdated! This is the substitute arrow! As long as you hold it for a period of time, you can get a substitute!"
"Stand-in? It's like the Platinum Star? Which arrow is this? The Green King or the Red Magician? I think the stand-in for Justice is awesome!" Gray Linte looked at the arrow in his hand and suddenly lost all interest in Snow.
Feeling disgusted, he just looked up and found a strange expression on Audrey's face...
"Audrey, what's wrong?"
…
"Crack!"
Feeling the disintegration of the magic potion in his body, Snow raised the corner of his mouth slightly, although he was not sure whether it was Klein who finally gave up on taking chances after the Tarot session and decided to let the Moretti brothers and sisters become extraordinary, or whether it was Audrey.
The missionary work there has paid off, or it could simply be that Jojo's "distortion" of readers' aesthetics has reached a critical point.
In short, the corrupted baron's potion was completely digested.
But this time, Snow obviously couldn't swallow the Sequence 5 potion directly, because taking the Sequence 5 or higher potion through the paradox path also requires rituals.
The promotion ceremony of Shakespeare's Ape in sequence five is "the completion of a 'coincidence' of 'sufficient intensity'".
This "sufficient intensity" is actually not an exaggeration. It is probably the level of winning the second prize in a lottery or meeting someone by chance in a strange city with millions of people.
In fact, for Snow, the focus of this ceremony lies in "completion" and "coincidence". Completion means that the "event" must be a target that he actively designated, and not just anyone who meets it can be considered completed; coincidence means that
It cannot be guided by any force (including extraordinary abilities).
To put it simply, Snow must set a goal for himself and "accidentally" achieve it without using his extraordinary abilities.
Take chance encounters as an example. If Snow wants to meet an original character by chance, then he cannot choose a target whose exact location he knows. Nor can he choose entities that will "inevitably" appear.
Similarly, he cannot conduct prior investigations or lock in the opponent's scope through various channels.
In a sense, this is a very simple ritual, because it does not carry any special risks. You only need to designate a person, and then meet him without deliberately investigating the other person's location. Even if you have completed the goal,
There is no need to fight powerful extraordinary creatures, there is no need to betray one's morals and beliefs, and there is no need to look for those rare ghosts and corpses.
But this ritual also has the same characteristics as the fate path from which its characteristics originate. That is, if you are not lucky enough, it is very possible that you will not be able to complete it in your lifetime.
After all, the easiest way to do this ritual is to buy lottery tickets. As long as you buy enough, it is very easy to win a prize that meets the requirements of the ritual. However, this bastard Russell copied so many things, but he did not copy the lottery tickets.
