As soon as she entered the church, Audrey saw Simin dressed as a priest standing in front of the night holy emblem with a dark background, dotted with stars, and surrounded by half a crimson moon. In front of her, the bishop held the "Apocalypse of the Night" in his hand.
》Preaching to believers.
After taking one look at Audrey, Simin immediately lowered his head and listened devoutly to Mr. Bishop's low and friendly voice.
As a secret member of the Psychological Alchemy Society and an extraordinary person, she would never dare to preach like Mr. Bishop. The goddess of the night is real, and for people like her, it is a sharp sword hanging above her head. Once she participates in preaching, even if it is
It may only be one in ten thousand that is noticed, but even if it is one in one hundred thousand, or even lower, she will not do this.
In fact, she was able to become a pastor because she was a woman and had a amiable appearance. She was very suitable for enlightening believers, but she had not made much "progress" in doctrine.
The bishop also noticed Audrey's arrival. Although he was a little surprised, he still spoke about the content of "Apocalypse of the Night" in a steady voice. Even after finishing the sermon and ending the mass ceremony, he just opened the book as usual.
Open the door of the confessional, enter and wait for enlightenment for today's believers.
Audrey did not follow the queue, but just stepped forward and chatted with Simin for a few words, then left the church and boarded the carriage again, heading for Stone's largest department store.
…
After finding an excuse to successfully get rid of her personal maid Anne, Audrey went to a small lounge on the second floor of the mall, which was a place for some distinguished guests to rest and communicate. As the daughter of the Earl of Eastchester, she was naturally
One of the most distinguished guests here, under the guidance of the maid, entered this clean and elegantly decorated small hall.
Perhaps it was because today was Tuesday and it was morning, so there were no guests resting here, which made her feel relieved.
She looked at Susie who was following her. She was about to speak when she realized something was wrong. She winked at the golden retriever and sat on a beige sofa, waiting quietly.
Just when Audrey thought she had made a mistake, a colder voice came from the opposite corner, startling her.
"Good morning, Miss Audrey."
Only then did Audrey notice that besides herself and Susie, there was another person in the small hall.
It was a young woman, dressed the same as the maid who had just led her in. She had smooth blond hair, three-dimensional facial features but lack of softness, her eyes were as blue as dancing candlelight, and her brows were full of perseverance, more like a man.
She slowly walked out of the corner, held up her skirt and gave Audrey a slight salute:
"I'm Rebel."
"Well...good morning, Rebel."
After Audrey skillfully gave herself a "psychological comfort", she stood up and returned the salute. She didn't notice the other person's presence at all just now, not even Susie.
Fortunately, I did not communicate with Susie here. She naturally showed a look of surprise and curiosity on her face, but she got the answer from the other party without opening her mouth.
"This is the ability of the Sequence 6 'Hypnotist', called 'Psychological Invisibility'." Rebel smiled, but did not explain in detail, "You are already a 'psychiatrist'. I heard Simin say that you are already close to
I have accumulated enough merit to be able to exchange for the 'Hypnotist' formula."
"But I think it's still a little slow." Audrey pouted, but then realized that she was acting too close in front of the other person, and this was not her normal behavior.
"Always take your time."
Rebel didn't notice anything was wrong. Audrey's performance was in line with her judgment and her confidence as a "hypnotist". She took a wooden box half an arm's length from the shelf behind her and placed it on
He placed it on the small coffee table and opened it to reveal the items inside.
It was a smaller gavel, a little too small to hold in one hand.
It looks like it is made of metal, with an overall iron-black color. Only the hammer head is half blood red and half silver white, which looks quite strange and very artistic at the same time.
"So beautiful!"
This was Audrey's first feeling. Her eyes moved repeatedly from the "Guardian Mallet" to the handle and head of the hammer.
"Simin has already introduced its effects to you, so I won't say more."
Rebel's lips curled up, as if she wasn't surprised.
Her voice was a bit ethereal, as if coming from a very far away place, but it could reach Audrey's ears clearly, making her feel as if she was in a dream, half asleep and half awake.
The "psychological suggestion" of the "psychiatrist" has undergone a qualitative change in the "hypnotist" stage. As long as the target's attention is really focused on something, the door of the other party's "mental body" can be opened and the consciousness can be directly modified.
, affecting the subconscious mind. In this way, the target will follow its own arrangements without realizing it and make various behaviors that are contrary to its true will.
The "Guardian Mallet" looks almost like a work of art, which is enough to attract Audrey's attention.
Audrey felt herself dazed for a moment, then suddenly woke up. She realized that she was hypnotized, but Mr. Fool's blessing freed her from the hypnosis. She lowered her head slightly, still keeping her gaze there.
On a gavel with a small handle.
"What's your impression of Prince Charlie?"
Rebel's voice had returned to normal for Audrey, but the question raised by the other party made her shrink. However, she kept looking down at the "Guardian Mallet" and did not let the other party notice.
Why did she ask Charlie's question?
Is she Charlie's person?
Or do you want to determine Dad’s attitude and thoughts through me?
At yesterday's Tarot meeting, after learning from Mr. "Emperor" that Prince Charlie's suicide was a power confrontation between the aristocrats, Parliament and the royal family, Audrey knew that her father, Earl Hall, must be among them. This is in line with the situation.
His latest trip.
Countless thoughts surged into her mind instantly, but Audrey remained motionless and said in a slightly bored tone:
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "...I don't like him very much, he always appears next to me..."
As the daughter of Earl Hall, she has always been the focus of the princes' attention.
"Is this also your father's attitude?"
She really came for my father... Audrey shook her head and said:
"My father never interferes with me in this regard."
Rebel twitched the corner of her mouth. As the person arranged by the Psychological Alchemy Society to be with Charlie, she had also met many noble girls, but no matter how high her status was, just like Princess Delina, she could not escape the temptation of various interests.
Especially those nobles who have declined, as long as they can come up with money, no matter whether the other party is always ugly or has a good or bad temper, they can all agree to it.
However, if you think about Earl Hall's identity, you can understand why he would not interfere with Audrey's marriage. He is one of the top bankers in the Loen Kingdom and even in the world.
"Did anything unusual happen to your father when he left Eastchester County?"
"...No, he left suddenly."
Rebel, who didn't get an answer, frowned and stopped asking further questions. Instead, she pushed the wooden box containing the "Guardian Mallet" forward, closer to Audrey.
Her sudden movements startled Audrey, thinking that the other party realized that she was not hypnotized, and her behavior was similar to her behavior after the hypnosis was lifted. Rebel did not notice anything wrong, so she smiled and spoke
road:
"Six thousand pounds, a very reasonable price, isn't it?"
"Yes, even just based on its appearance." Audrey nodded without hesitation.
This sentence made Rebel stiff for a moment. Seeing that the other party didn't think there was any problem, she had to smile again.
"Then let's complete the deal now."
After seeing Rebel nod, Audrey did not hesitate and reached out to the golden retriever dog Susie who was lying beside her. She squatted down and took out a check from the small bag hanging on it, with the amount already filled in.
She patted Susie's head and stood up, handing it to the stunned Rebel.
This was also one of Audrey's preparations. Anyone would be surprised to hear that a dog had 6,000 pounds on it. Whether Rebel looked at her or Susie, the other would be temporarily ignored.
As for the funds to purchase the "Guardian Mallet", they are her own assets. After all, her father, Earl Hall, is still in Backlund and has not returned, so the reimbursement can only be postponed.
After that, the transaction between the two parties went smoothly.
…
"...That's how it is. Finally, thank you for your blessings. I will collect more Russell's diaries for you."
Above the gray fog, Klein, who had not volunteered as planned, looked at the distorted picture, listened to Miss Justice's report, and responded with a majestic and majestic voice:
"I see."
After saying that, he leaned back on the chair, held his right elbow with his left hand, and touched his chin with his right hand.
Sure enough, Miss "Justice" was the daughter of a top noble, otherwise it would be impossible for the nobles and the parliament to join forces to "force Charles to death", and immediately began to fight back and investigate.
In this case, is Rebelle a secret agent of Charlie or the royal family in the Psychological Alchemy Society, or is this an investigation of this incident by the Psychological Alchemy Society?
According to Mr. "Emperor", the Psychological Alchemy Society has many secrets behind the conservative nobles. This cannot rule out the possibility that this is an order from the royal family and the Psychological Alchemy Society is responsible for executing it. However, this possibility is quite small, and at most it is the royal family.
A certain faction will cooperate with Psychological Alchemy, and this faction may even support Prince Charlie.
No matter what, the muddy waters of Augustus are really deep!
The Aurora Society, the Witch Sect, the Psychological Alchemy Society, the three major secret organizations, and the Twilight Hermit Society who doesn't know what else they are planning... Excluding the extraordinary factors, there are also internal struggles within the royal family, such as the fight for the White Rose that symbolizes the position of the Crown Prince.
Prince.
But from now on, the eldest prince, Winton, should have become the best candidate for crown prince.
After yesterday's Tarot session, Klein felt that with the "Emperor" and "Justice" around, he still wanted to investigate the truth about the Great Smog, so he had to understand some of the situation in Loen's upper echelons, especially the royal family, in order to avoid future troubles.
Putting the identity of "The Fool" into question.
He really learned a lot about some of the royal family's situations, especially after Princess Delina was engaged to Crown Prince Maxi, and several princes and princesses of Augustus also became the topic of discussion by many people. In addition,
Last time he was in Oravi, and he also had a certain understanding of the defeat in the war on the East Balam coast last year.
The little prince David was only thirteen years old, and there was a high probability that he would not be able to compete with Govington, who was already in his early thirties. The death of Charlie also allowed the other party to escape from the vortex of losing the war.
After thinking for a while, Klein planned to wait for the next exchange between "Justice" and "Emperor" to see if there would be a chance to have a deeper understanding.
…
Maxi, the capital is Winston.
A week ago, Rawls Gonzalez, who had already confirmed his identity as the crown prince, officially moved into the Wende Palace, a 600-year-old palace built by the Gonzalez family. He began to become familiar with royal etiquette and corresponding rules and regulations, and interacted with the royal family.
Members, the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, ministers, and parliamentarians have a preliminary understanding.
The most important ones are naturally the members of the parliament. Most of these people are leaders in their respective fields. If you get to know them, you will naturally have a general understanding of Ma Xi's basic situation.
As a country where divine power is greater than royal power, Ma Xi's political structure is completely different from that of Loen. The royal family and parliament are the two sides of the scale, while the Church of Knowledge has been separated from the scale. It is the giant hand outside the scale that can mix the two sides at will.
pinch.
Under the influence of the teachings of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, as well as various factors such as the rich land and sparse population, the parliament's governing style is more inclined to the feeling of "ruling by inaction" remembered by Rawls.
Members of Parliament often spend a lot of time in their respective fields of research, using their brains far beyond ordinary people to deal with some matters in their spare time, and most of these things are related to their fields. As authoritative figures in their fields, they
Their opinions are often greatly recognized.
Only when the country faces major problems such as disasters, or when the upper and lower houses meet once a month, will they come together to discuss.
On March 1st, Rawls's grandfather Orf Gonzalez took him to the Kingdom House, officially proclaimed him the crown prince of the Kingdom of Mars, and awarded him the title of Duke of Winston.
The title of Crown Prince of Tin.
After the announcement, Rawls and his grandfather watched as Parliament began to discuss relevant matters.
Often, a member of the House of Commons will report on certain problems in his or her own field or on last month's summary. He or she will propose solutions for problems that only involve his or her own field. For problems involving multiple fields, multiple members will be required.
Members report and discuss together.
And this kind of reporting is often very efficient. The whole meeting lasted for three days and then ended. If nothing major happened, the next meeting would not be held again until April 1st.
Neither the House of Lords, composed of nobles and bishops, nor King Orff expressed any opinions on this matter, and just remained silent listeners.
Only the House of Commons itself has an opinion on this. This is because in addition to their respective fields, each member of Parliament often also studies other fields intensively, but not so deeply. This is under the influence of the teachings of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom.
