As the last note fell, Audrey clapped her hands gently and said in a somewhat envious tone:
"It's only been less than a month, and you're already playing better than me!"
"Your teaching is still good." Snow complimented politely, and then comforted, "Actually, it mainly takes advantage of the sequence ability. After all, my sequence is very good at this kind of physical level memory. Wait until you become a mid-sequence
A strong person will know that this learning ability is nothing."
"Speaking of this, what is so special about the hypnotist of sequence six?" When talking about the middle sequence, Audrey once again remembered Snow's words teasing her, and looked at him with burning eyes.
"Well, you'll know when the time comes." Snow just smiled back at Audrey's doubts, which made Audrey puff up her cheeks in dissatisfaction -
"What you said is like an elder saying to a child, 'You will understand when you grow up.'"
"Don't talk about it." Snow had no intention of confronting Audrey in this regard. He put his hand behind his back and somehow pulled out a gift box that was about half the size of Susie's body.
Seeing this box, which was obviously used to hold gifts, Audrey's entanglement with the hypnotist immediately disappeared, and was replaced by curiosity about the contents of the box.
"No, wait a minute, given Mr. Devil's somewhat bad character, there shouldn't be anything scary inside, right? For example, the toy called the scare box invented by Emperor Russell?"
When Audrey thought of this, her eyes immediately showed some suspicion. When Snow saw this, he immediately waved his arms in an exaggerated way, like an actor in a drama performance, and said in an exaggerated aria:
"Oh, my angel, your distrustful look really breaks my heart! This is a gift I prepared carefully, and you actually doubt me!"
"Dear Mr. Devil, if you continue to show off your exaggerated acting skills, I will throw rotten eggs at you!" Audrey used the gentlest smile and a flat tone that seemed to have no emotion, and said a sentence that had no deterrent effect.
The lines were quite scary. When Snow heard the words, he immediately looked frightened and said:
"Then it's better not to cause any trouble to Viscount Graylingt."
With that said, he handed the gift box to Audrey. After this round of verbal "confrontation", Audrey also realized that it was not a prank prop inside, and asked with interest:
"Can I open it?"
"Of course." Snow nodded lightly, and Audrey carefully pulled the ribbons on both sides, and unpacked the exquisite gift box without damaging it.
How to open gifts gracefully is also a part of aristocratic education. She has to open many gift boxes at birthday parties every year, so she already has the experience.
The exquisite gift box was quickly opened, and when Audrey lifted the last lid, a look of surprise flashed across her eyes.
She carefully took out a quarter doll (a 1:4 scale doll) from the box and looked at it with admiration.
Smooth and textured golden hair, gem-like green eyes, a gorgeous and exquisite long dress decorated with ribbons and lace, a pure and beautiful temperament with a hint of cuteness and playfulness, and her whole body exudes elegance.
temperament.
"How cute! Is this the work of any master?"
Audrey looked at this doll that was somewhat similar to her, and then remembered the commission that Mr. Devil had issued to Mr. Hanged Man before. She slightly suppressed the dissatisfaction rising in her heart, and looked at Snow with curious eyes.
:
"Is this your work, Mr. Devil? The kind of doll used to absorb desires?"
"It is indeed my work, but it does not have the ability to collect desires. After all, according to Loen's style, unmarried men do not seem to be suitable for giving gifts such as jewelry to single ladies, so I made a doll. Of course, if
If you need, I can also add this function to her." Snow looked at Audrey with a smile, his smile was gentle and pure, Audrey felt a little guilty when he saw her, and she immediately turned her attention to the doll,
Pretending to be calm, he said:
"I am very satisfied with this gift!"
But just when she said these words, she suddenly noticed that the corners of the mouth of the doll in her arms seemed to be slightly raised.
This sudden change almost made Audrey throw the puppet away. Fortunately, the composure she had accumulated from playing the role of an audience allowed her to calm down. She looked at Snow angrily and said:
"Mr. Devil, it's not good to do this kind of prank!"
"No, no, no, this is not a prank, she just changes according to your mood." Snow shook his head with a smile, took two steps forward, gently stroked the doll's head, and his tone became slightly softer.
Somewhat serious——
"She can reflect the master's mental state to a certain extent. Now you have quite a lot of contact with the Psychological Alchemy Society. Even if my extraordinary ability can protect you from prying eyes, I cannot avoid having mid-to-high-sequence Extraordinaries impose on you.
Psychological suggestion, this doll can be used as a mirror to reflect your mental state. If you find anything abnormal in her, pray to Mr. Fool immediately."
"I blamed you wrongly!" Audrey admitted her mistake frankly and quickly hugged the doll back into her arms. Although it was only a little similar, seeing Mr. Devil reaching out to touch her head still made Audrey feel a little bit...
strange.
…
At the moment when [Zi Fei I] was lifted, Anne finally realized that she had left the young lady aside for a long time. Fortunately, Audrey was within her sight, which made this "stupid maid" relax.
She took a breath, but soon she noticed that her young lady was actually very inconspicuous, carrying a gift box!
"Miss, as a lady, you shouldn't take such a big thing by yourself!" Anne tried to cover up her distraction with words, and muttered a little guiltily while taking the heavy gift box.
"A friend gave this to me. Well, I like it very much!" Audrey knew that most of the gifts she usually received would be piled in the warehouse and would not be found until she picked them up. In order to avoid that cute doll
Having received the same treatment, she specifically added.
Anne heard her master's words and immediately understood what she meant, nodded and said:
"I understand, and it will be sent directly to the lady's room. But who sent this gift? Do we want to give a return gift?"
Audrey just shook her head slightly, and Anne understood that this was the same as the young lady secretly leaving with Viscount Gray Lint. It was something that could not be told to the family, so she did not say anything more and just followed the young lady obediently, but did not wait for them.
When I went to say goodbye to Viscount Gray Lint, I saw Mr. Viscount, who usually behaved as a gentleman, suddenly running over in a hurry, panting slightly:
"Oh, my God, Audrey! Did that guy use that on me again? Damn it! Why are the pharmacist's ingredients so hard to buy?"
Seeing the furious look of Viscount Gray Lint, Audrey had the urge to make a face, but soon, she discovered that although Viscount Gray Lint seemed to be complaining, his eyes were always on her elbows.
, scan the skirt and other places.
Audrey, who had been an audience member for so long and had observed many ladies who "disappeared" during banquets at major dances and banquets, immediately realized what Gray Lint was looking at, and her expression turned slightly dark.
