Chapter 24 Audrey's Birthday Present

Chapter 24 Audrey’s birthday gift

Feeling bored, Conse did not continue to pester, but chose to blend into the dance there and stopped chatting with Gray Linte.

Although we had some friendship with each other in the past, it was only when we were still young and we were not adults.

Now that each other has their own affairs, chatting is not considered speculation, so what kind of friendship is there to insist on?

As for Gray Linte...well, he took another Intis roast goose to taste on the side.

"Why does this kind of crispy skin, tender meat, fat but not greasy texture taste so much like BJ roast duck?"

"Well, Intis seems to be the country that Russell traveled through..."

After forking a piece of skin-on roast goose cut by the waiter, Gray Linte suddenly thought of the answer to this question before eating it and was speechless for a moment.

————————————————

Slowly, the atmosphere of the banquet became more and more lively, and Gray Lint, who was a little stuffed after eating, finally remembered one of the important things today, and started to get up and look for the girl in the venue.

After a while, he finally saw today's protagonist - Audrey - in a corner of the ball.

I hadn't noticed before that this girl was wearing a light green ruffled dress today, with multiple layers of tulle woven with gold flowers on it, and the whole thing was held up with whale hoops.

On the upper body, he wore a short light gray woolen coat, with the hem just reaching the whale hoop. There was a dark red silk knot in front of the left shoulder, which was quite small and unique.

These outfits make Audrey look as pure, kind and beautiful as an angel.

"Happy birthday, Audrey, you are beautiful in a different way every time I see you."

"Thanks!"

Audrey was already fully immune to similar compliments, but she still sincerely thanked Gray Lint for his blessing and responded with a shallow smile that could not find any etiquette flaws.

"You look like you have something special to tell me, Graylingt."

"Yes, Audrey, I have prepared a surprise for you."

"But, I have received your thoughts. I like that necklace very much."

She blinked and looked at Gray Lint, not quite understanding what he said.

"No, not that."

"Audrey, you should know that I have become an extraordinary person."

"If you still have the same interest in this as before, I can guarantee that you will like this gift."

He lowered his voice and spoke to Audrey quite mysteriously.

In response, Audrey's jewel-like eyes became more and more vivid. She looked around and found that no one noticed this place.

"Maybe, maybe we need a quiet and certain environment to discuss such things."

"Follow me, Graylingt."

She took Gray Linte to find a lounge on the second floor of the castle.

"Anne, you stay outside, Viscount Graylingt and I have something to talk about."

She ordered her good servant Anne and gently closed the door to the room.

"This is the maids' dining room. No one should disturb you now."

"Let me guess, do you want me to see the true extraordinary power? Gray Lint."

Audrey explained, tilting her head slightly, trying to guess the "surprise".

"That's not true, Audrey."

Gray Linte denied it with a smile.

In response to this, Audrey was a little discouraged and wanted to puff out her cheeks to pretend to be angry. Then she felt that this action was not elegant and ladylike enough, so she had to give up. At the same time, she looked at Gray Lint expectantly, waiting for his explanation.

.

"I have only become an Extraordinary for less than a week, and I am one of those Extraordinary whose external manifestations are not obvious."

"I can't show you extraordinary power."

Graylint deliberately waited until the girl opposite showed a slight hint of disappointment before continuing.

"But I have a Sequence 9 potion recipe, and it suits you very well, Audrey."

Audrey actually knew very well what sequence nine meant. She just didn't want to lose her freedom before. Otherwise, with her status, it would not be difficult to become an extraordinary person.

"What is it?"

"No, I mean, I'm looking forward to it."

Audrey, who was excited for a moment, asked rather rudely, but then suddenly realized that something was not appropriate, so she explained in a panic.

"I completely understand your feelings, Audrey. I was just as excited as you about becoming an Extraordinary."

Feeling relieved, Gray Lint took out the "audience" potion formula that he had copied neatly from scratch.

"Its name is 'Spectator'. The potion prepared according to this potion formula can give you outstanding spirit and keen observation."

"Just like we appreciate operas and dramas, we look at ordinary people as 'actors' from the perspective of a bystander, and get a glimpse of their true thoughts from their expressions, behavior and unknown little movements."

Audrey's eyes seemed to overflow with light after hearing this.

"I think you're right, Gray Lint, I like this feeling."

She took the formula from Gray Lint and couldn't wait to read the information inside.

"But, Audrey, you have to remember that the audience can only be the audience."

"In addition, doing actions that match the name of the potion will help you completely master the potion. You can try to do more 'watching'."

Gray Lint did not give a specific method for digesting the role, but just gave some vague hints.

"These materials are relatively common and we have them at home."

"Perhaps, I can become a 'spectator' now. What do you think, Gray Lint."

She looked forward to asking Gray Linte for his opinion.

Looking at the pure gaze of the girl across from him, Gray Linte could not refuse her.

"Although the preparation of low-sequence potions is very simple, I still want to watch you."

He finally nodded and agreed, and then told himself in his heart that it would be safer no matter what if he was watching.

"good."

Resisting the idea of ​​cheering, Audrey quickly agreed and took Gray Lint to the private chemistry laboratory of the Hall family.

——————————————————————

The girl lifted up her blond hair and tucked it behind her ears.

Staring at the cup in her hand, Audrey discovered that there were countless bubbles emerging from it, as if it was boiling.

After a while, the liquid in the cup settled into a thick silvery white color.

She couldn't help but glance at Gray Lint, then faced his encouraging gaze, withdrew her gaze, raised the cup, and drank the "audience" potion in her hand in a small sip.

The "audience" can greatly strengthen people's mental aspects. Therefore, after taking the "audience" potion, Audrey soon felt her head swelling to the point of pain. She could not help frowning and stroking her forehead.

Looking at the frowning brows of the angelic girl in front of him, Gray Linte almost felt his heart aching.

He wanted to rub Audrey's temples, but realized that this was quite rude, so he did not dare to move and just looked at her with concern.

After a while, Audrey gradually relaxed her tightly furrowed brows.

She raised her head, faced Gray Linte's eager expression, was slightly startled, and then smiled: "I am already an 'audience'."

"Congratulations, Audrey."

"Thanks."

Considering that it would be quite impolite for Audrey, the protagonist of the banquet, to not show up for too long, so they did not discuss more about each other's extraordinary abilities, but quickly returned to the banquet and continued the banquet calmly.

From the time they left to the time they came back, less than half an hour passed.
