At nine o'clock in the morning, most of the residents living in the apartment have left, and most of the haze outside has dissipated. It's the best time of the day for reading again.
Aegron Crosong sat back on the wooden chair that had been warmed by his body, and carefully read his favorite novel about Emperor Russell.
This great emperor who was born in Intis was the object of his worship.
His romantic literature was the level that Egeron had always aspired to achieve in grammar school.
Unfortunately, fate played a trick on him. Agron, who was still physically unqualified at the age of nineteen, was thin and frail, but twenty-six years later, he has become a veteran who can break steel with one punch.
"I just want to be a..."
"The Catcher in the Rye."
The sound of leather shoes colliding with the wooden floor grew closer and closer. Aeglon, who was looking soothing just a second ago, frowned slightly for an instant, his blue eyes full of evil.
"Am I disturbing you, Mr. Aigron?" Klein, who showed no self-awareness, spread his hands "innocently" and walked to the front desk.
Still holding Emperor Russell's masterpiece - "Watching the Rye" in his hands, Aigron resisted the urge to sigh, held back his temper, and started talking with the detective who had just helped His Highness the Prince's "girlfriend" get promoted.
"I thought I would be a little cleaner after you left."
"Heh, I just want to ask you some questions today. I'll be quick and won't disturb you for too long." Klein smiled awkwardly and leaned his cane next to the front desk.
Aiglon, who was across the room, finally put down the novel in his hand, and Klein also revealed his purpose.
"I recently met Detective Louis Evans, who lives next door to me, and he noticed that I too was an extraordinary person."
Instantly, Aigron's eyes became sharp.
He straightened his back and returned to his usual military manner.
"When did he find out and confirm your identity?"
Even you haven't confirmed my true identity, how could he?
Thinking of this, Klein couldn't help but sigh that the identity certificate forged by "Secret" was indistinguishable from the real thing in all aspects.
In other words, it is true, because that document contains various records, large and small, and it is as if there really was a man named Sherlock Moriarty who completed his life of more than thirty years, and then
He handed over his identity to Klein.
"Of course not. He just met me by chance before, and then used special means to discover that I was an extraordinary person during the afternoon tea invited by my neighbor."
Eyes watching Klein's every move, Aigron nodded slightly and agreed with this statement.
This is the truth, and it is also the judgment of a "dream walker".
He didn't think that an Beyonder with a high probability of being in the middle sequence could easily lie in front of the "audience" of the sequence five.
"So what do you want to know?"
"I want to know the identity of Louis Evans. You should have investigated him." Klein stated his request frankly, smiling.
If Aigron was trying to excuse himself in this regard, either Detective Evans had a deeper secret behind his back, or he was admitting that he and MI9 were simply unqualified as intelligence officers.
After a brief weighing, Aigron revealed the results of the investigation without any concealment.
"He is the third young master of the Evans family. He is quite rebellious and unwilling to inherit the family property. Instead, he studied criminal investigation. About four years ago, he came into contact with the extraordinary field and became a 'Sleepless One'. He was later promoted with the support of the family
Reached the mid-sequence, and is now an informant for the Church of Steam."
Generally speaking, as long as the official Extraordinary informants are not deliberately concealed, or they are special beings who report directly to the local archbishop, MI9 will have corresponding information, but it is not very accurate.
The mid-sequence "Sleepless One" is the path to Extraordinary. Is he a "nightmare"?
Almost instantly, Klein was reminded of the mid-sequence he was most familiar with.
And he is also an informant of the Church of Steam... If this is the case, it means that Detective Evans does not really think that I am a destabilizing factor, otherwise he will definitely join forces with the extraordinary people of the Church of Steam to investigate in my dream.
"I probably understand. It seems that I made a false alarm." Klein pretended to suddenly understand and picked up the cane beside him.
In response, Aigron, who had seen through his emotions, smiled perfunctorily, picked up the novel he had just read a few lines, and waved his hand.
After receiving the eviction order, Klein did not stay on the first floor of the apartment. Instead, he took a detour and headed towards the east side.
...
Backlund West District, Edward Street.
On the clean and quiet street, a large maroon horse slowly stopped and brought the carriage behind it to a steady stop at the most appropriate location.
The luxurious carriage with the Hall family crest opened the side door, and a small mahogany ladder was carefully placed in front of the side door by the driver. Audrey, who was not dressed up, but still changed into brighter clothes, walked carefully up the stairs.
Next, the off-white high heels clicked softly.
After she left Gray Fog yesterday, she sent a letter of visit to Hvin Rambis through her past teacher's relationship, and then received a letter from this wise and kind old man that night, who was very willing to accept "Baekeland"
The most dazzling gem of Germany” in reply to a visit.
It is said that since the new prime minister took office, the royal adviser has rarely been active in political situations, but he still retains the habit of attending various gatherings.
Is this a way for him, as a member of the Psychological Alchemy Society, to use his "audience" ability to influence the kingdom's high-level decisions?
Sequence Seven, who already knew that the "audience" was called a "psychiatrist", Audrey couldn't help but think of it in this regard.
I carry the talisman given by Mr. Fool, so I shouldn’t be “suggested” by him silently, and I also have Susie to help... Audrey still maintains a perfect smile in the eyes of outsiders.
She glanced at her partner with traces, and Susie, who was following her gracefully, returned a questioning look.
This is why she still insisted on taking Susie with her despite Anne's persuasion several times.
According to the experience given by Mr. "The Hanged Man", ordinary extraordinary people will ignore this extraordinary creature that has no sense of existence.
"Miss Audrey, it's an honor for you to come." The housekeeper, who is about the same age as Advisor Rambis, greeted Audrey in a humble and condescending manner, and brought the big banker's favorite daughter into the villa in front of her.
He walked in front of Audrey with an upright posture, and when he was about to arrive at the reception room, he deliberately mentioned:
"Actually, Mr. Consultant was still at Prince Edsac's No. 1 Scholarship yesterday. He came back in a hurry after receiving your letter of visit."
After saying that, he stood aside and made way to the reception room.
It's so rude, and it's not like what a qualified butler would say. Was this Mr. Butler under the instructions of Advisor Rambis, or was it due to other circumstances?
Audrey did not force herself to maintain the status of "audience", but behaved very reasonably, with a slightly surprised look in her polite smile.
She walked into the reception room where the aroma of black tea could already be smelled. Even at home, Hvin Rambis, who was wearing a dark blue formal suit, was sitting by the window, bathing in the sunshine that had just begun.
"I'm sorry to disturb you, Consultant Rambis." Before taking her seat, Audrey bowed to the old man in a polite manner.
"No, how could it be possible? Backlund's brightest gem comes to visit me, which is something many people can't ask for."
"If I let those young men know, they might be jealous of me?" Hwen, who smiled peacefully, shook his head, and his peripheral vision passed over Susie who was squatting at the door.
Finally, after completing the basic social rhetoric, Audrey sat on the prepared seat and took a sip of the warm Queen's black tea.
Putting down the tea cup, she was about to say something when she saw Consultant Rambis sitting opposite with a smile on his face, but his light blue eyes were dark gold.
"I think you should have brought that person's token, Miss Audrey." Although the aura of the person opposite had completely changed, his speaking tone still maintained the habit of Hvin Rambis.
Audrey, who felt suppressed for no reason, as if her neck was being strangled tightly, suddenly regained her composure, and a deep red mark shone on the back of her fair hand.
This was what Mr. Fool left behind at that time... She took a deep breath and looked at Susie's position at the door, only to see that her partner had fallen asleep peacefully and silently.
Is this the high-sequence "audience"?
Audrey was in a daze after experiencing high-sequence pressure for the first time, but she quickly returned to normal and took out the "Diamond Talisman" given by Mr. Fool from the small bag she carried with her.
"This is what Mr. Fool asked me to give to you."
She held the precious charm in both hands and presented it.
But Rambis, who had upright eyes and was not like a human being, ignored her and focused his whole heart on the "diamond".
His fingers had just touched the surface of the talisman, which was still undergoing countless phantom transformations. This dazzling treasure and the crimson mark on Audrey's hand burst out with dazzling light at the same time.
In an instant, gray mist poured out from the small channel formed by the spell. Part of it rushed towards Audrey, blinding her eyes, while the other part was absorbed by Hvin Rambis.
In her hazy vision, Audrey saw huge phantoms flying up from the distant fog.
They cover the sky and the sun, they spit out terrifying breath, and they demonstrate their dominance.
Giant dragons with mysterious patterns on their bodies were blurred and flew towards the location of Hvin Rambis. They all had dark golden vertical pupils, and they all had thick gray-white scales. They were all Angelweed!
Shadows of the past kept flying out of various historical holes. On a distant island, the priest kneeling devoutly in front of the pure white cross opened his eyes. The bones everywhere in the church sang at the same time, hiding in Hvin Lambie.
Angelweed's aura on the island of Sri Lanka continued to rise, almost returning to the level when he first became the King of Angels.
Now in a short period of time, he is enough to exert the same strength as the King of Angels Ouroleus!
On the dead island, the majestic dragon raised its head and spread its wings, and the spell that served as a bridge between the fog of history and reality softly shattered.
In the elegant reception room, Audrey still looked dazed after the gray fog dissipated from her body, while Hvin Rambis on the side had completely recovered his human aura, smiled kindly, and drew a positive sign on his chest piously.
