After passing through the teleportation gate again, Audrey landed lightly on the soft lawn. It seemed that after several teleportations, she had adapted to the feeling of being teleported. This time, she did not feel slightly dizzy again.
Looking at the slowly rejuvenating green in the valley, Audrey felt very comfortable, and even began to imagine that after the arrival of spring, the valley would be filled with wonderful scenery of all kinds of flowers.
"As expected of an extraordinary family. In order to maintain this level of turf in the family castle, it requires dozens of gardeners and thousands of gold pounds to take care of it every year!"
Audrey looked at Susie who started rolling on the turf before taking two steps. She was a little funny and a little envious. Although extraordinary power is dangerous, if she has enough control methods, it can greatly improve the quality of life.
.
For example, my own old castle, which makes people feel that it is slowly decaying, requires tens of thousands of pounds to be repaired every year. However, the residence of Mr. Devil's family has not been repaired on a large scale, but it has always been kept clean and tidy.
“The most important thing is that the lighting is very good!”
Audrey was very envious of the lighting in this castle, or in other words, she was disgusted by the solemn and gloomy dark atmosphere of the family castle.
"Okay, Susie, you're so unladylike!"
After seeing Susie making trouble for a while, Audrey started to remind her. Susie stood up and said innocently:
"Audrey, I'm just a dog."
"But ordinary dogs don't deliberately soil themselves just to have an excuse to use someone else's bathroom."
Audrey easily exposed Susie's thoughts, which made Susie stick out her tongue.
One person and one dog just chatted and laughed as they came to the front door of the castle. As the exquisite black key turned, the solemn and luxurious front door opened amidst the sound of the amplifier running.
"Welcome back, madam." With a slightly older greeting, Sebastian's translucent illusory figure appeared behind the door, as if he had been waiting there. With his appearance, two figures appeared.
Maids in short skirt maid outfits also appeared on both sides of the main entrance, seemingly waiting for Audrey's orders.
"Good morning, Sebastian, is Mr. Snow back?" Audrey greeted elegantly, but she didn't expect to get a positive answer——
"The master is in the study now and needs me..."
"No, Sebastian."
A voice suddenly interrupted Sebastian's words. Audrey looked around and saw Snow, dressed in casual clothes, walking down the stairs that stretched like arms around him, with a look on his face.
With the same smile as before, Audrey immediately said in surprise:
"Mr. Devil, when did you come back?"
No wonder she was so surprised. According to yesterday's exchange in the Tarot Club, Mr. Devil should be in Bayam at this time. How could he cross thousands of rivers and mountains and return to East Chester in one night?
But considering the teleportation array he just used, it doesn't seem to be incomprehensible that Mr. Demon has the ability to quickly travel between Byam and East Chester County.
"I just came back last night." Snow had a relaxed smile on his face. He turned around and ordered the maid to prepare some pastries and drinks. Audrey, who was well versed in social etiquette, immediately understood what Snow meant and followed him.
She was about to go to a social place such as the living room or garden with Mr. Devil, but at this moment, Susie, who was covered in grass and leaves, suddenly entered her field of vision, which made Audrey's expression stiffen slightly.
"Madam, let me take Susie to clean up?" At Snow's signal, the head maid immediately stepped forward, but her title still made Audrey blush. However, the good aristocratic education made Audrey forcefully
The audience was stunned and nodded gracefully:
"please."
…
Although she wanted to complain about the ghost servants' name that they were unwilling to change no matter how they corrected her, Audrey was still reserved as a girl and ignored the topic and began to apologize for "Beware the Audience".
Snow just smiled and said:
"The book itself is an enlightenment book similar to a fairy tale. There is nothing to care about. If you like it, I can make a copy for you. However, the occult knowledge in it is real after all. Try not to let ordinary people see it.
For the best."
"I know!" Audrey nodded happily, but in her heart she was lamenting the enlightenment education of the Panridax family——
Did Mr. Devil grow up reading books like this when he was a child? But then, there should be many similar books?
Thinking of this, Audrey felt slightly ashamed and immediately said:
"Well, Mr. Devil, I have to pay. Well, I will pay according to the price of the occult books! This is not compensation, but the necessary respect for knowledge, and it is also the practice of the Tarot Society's rules of equivalent exchange."
"Just watch it." Snow was noncommittal about Audrey's insistence. He just picked up the black tea and took a sip before changing the subject:
"Speaking of equivalent exchange, I just have something to ask you."
"This is really great... Ah, no, I mean, if you have anything to say, you have helped me so much, Mr. Devil. As long as I can do it, I will try my best!" Audrey said slightly panicked.
, even a little incoherent, because in her impression, Mr. Demon has always been a powerful extraordinary person with an "omnipotent" attitude. He has enough assets, sufficient knowledge of mysticism, and powerful strength.
Such a strong man would actually ask for something from him, which made Audrey's restless heart jump for joy.
"Well, I need a psychological intervention, well, maybe multiple times." Snow forced himself to the edge of the cliff. Naturally, there was no reason to hide anymore. Audrey was slightly startled when she heard his words:
"But according to my observation, you shouldn't have any mental illness? And Mr. Devil, don't you have the extraordinary ability to access the audience?"
"Emperor Russell said, 'It is difficult for doctors to cure their own diseases.' And to be precise, I am not suffering from some kind of mental illness, but because of the rituals required for my next promotion, and my
My concept is biased. In order to ensure that I can continue to advance without losing control, I need some external intervention. Oh, you may not understand that after sequence five, every time you take a magic potion, you must cooperate with a specific ritual, and the higher the sequence,
The higher the level, the more difficult the ritual will be."
Listening to Snow's gentle statement, Audrey's expression became more and more strange. What kind of sequence required such a strange promotion ceremony?
However, considering that it was Mr. Demon who made the request, Audrey was silent for a moment before saying somewhat unconfidently:
"Well, Mr. Devil, I can give it a try..."
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
Audrey's family spends 13,000 pounds every year on repairing the family castle, which is about 10 million soft sister coins. This is ordinary care rather than renovation. In the original novel, Audrey and Earl Hall complained about the need.
Carrying out a major renovation, it can be seen that the money required for a major renovation is much more than this.
