After throwing away everything other than his clothes, Ernes Boar was taken aback for a moment before he completely snapped to his senses.
What am I doing? What did I do? This Sanguine Baron finally recalled the matters that he had deliberately forgotten. He recalled those clear green eyes.
Psychological cue, no, hypnosis … Ernes Boyar looked around with a mixture of hatred and uncontrollable fear as he instinctively reassessed his situation.
His gaze then landed on the mountain-like figure and saw Father Utravsky with his sparse eyebrows.
In that instant, Ernes Boar's various thoughts collided with each other as he quickly produced a strong will.
He didn't resist and directly shouted,
"I'll be a volunteer here for a month!"
Emlyn's encounter had long spread throughout the Sanguine circles in Baekeland. Ernes Boar had heard of Father Utravsky for a long time. He knew that even if he resisted, he wouldn't be able to escape the fate of being a volunteer. Therefore, he might as well be more straightforward and voluntarily surrender, choosing conditions that were more beneficial to him.
At the very least, I can't be hypnotized and change my faith to Earth Mother … Just as this thought flashed through Ernes's mind, he discovered that Father Utravsky was holding a lantern. Inside was a strange candle wrapped in human skin with protruding lumps.
Under the dim illumination of the candlelight, Ernes's pupils dilated once again. There was only one thought left in his mind as it echoed incessantly:
Psychological cue again …
At this moment, he felt that the shadow in his heart was extremely thick.
"Alright." Father Utravsky nodded and agreed to Ernes Boar's request.
Emlyn held back a smile that was a mixture of smugness and joy as he looked at the items he had just caught, like a farmer who had just obtained a bountiful harvest.
…
In Saint Hierländ Square, on the third floor of a sivella-styled restaurant, in a private room, the light suddenly dimmed as a large shadow appeared.
Tiny bats flew out of the darkness and quickly gathered together.
Smoke rose as the silver-haired, scarlet-eyed Earl Mistral appeared at the spot where the bats had gathered. Everything around him returned to normal.
His servant, a middle-aged man in a dark suit, immediately took a step forward and bowed.
"Your Excellency, do you want to eat now?"
He could not tell from the count's face whether things were smooth or difficult, whether the final result was a success or a failure, but he did not dare to ask.
Mistral nodded slightly.
"Sure."
He calmly walked to the dining table, took off the sapphire ring, and sat down. He did not lose any of his elegance, as if he had just gone out to feed the pigeons.
…
"This taste is rich and strange, but it's not bad …" In the private room next to Count Mistral's, Klein, who had an ordinary face, was enjoying and commenting on a delicacy that was extremely sivella-style — lamb's stomach giblets.
Although this punishment operation was an attempt by the Tarot members to cooperate, and there was no need for The World or Mr. Fool to interfere, Klein considered that Miss Justice and Emlyn either didn't have such experience or were lacking in experience, so he secretly came nearby as a final safeguard.
He had previously gotten his marionette to pray to The Fool at the dining table while he entered the private room's private bathroom and went above the gray fog. With the corresponding points of light, he expanded his vision to the entire square and the surrounding area.
At the same time, he kept holding the Sea God Scepter, prepared to immediately send lightning down to stop them if he discovered anything amiss.
However, he ultimately didn't do anything. The entire matter progressed more smoothly than he had expected.
There was no need to mention The Star Leonard, who had rich combat experience, but Miss Justice, who was participating in something like this for the first time, had performed beyond his expectations. She wasn't nervous at all, nor did she show any signs of panic!
That's right. A Sequence 6 Beyonder of the Spectator pathway is definitely better than most Low- and Mid-Sequence Beyonders of different pathways when it comes to controlling their emotions. Even if they have any uneasiness, they can use their Beyonder powers to resolve it before taking action … Klein nodded indiscernibly and continued tasting the other delicacies.
Outside the window, in Saint Hierländ Square, the sounds of flutes, violins, accordions, and seven-stringed instruments intersected or overlapped as they drifted out in a melodious manner.
…
In Saint Hierländ Square, a rental carriage slowly circled around the edge.
Leonard Mitchell, who was about to return to the north bank of Baekeland Bridge, looked at the pigeons in the middle of the square.
He suddenly suppressed his voice and said, "Old Man, do you think this operation will ultimately succeed?"
After dragging Ernes Boyar into a dream, he flipped through Leymano's Travels and activated Angel's Embrace. He then boarded a carriage and left the scene. He wasn't sure if the subsequent developments went smoothly.
In his mind, Pallez Zoroast replied snappily, "In the Fourth Epoch, there's a saying: 'Believe in the might of the deities.'"
This means that since this matter has obtained Mr. Fool's tacit approval, it will definitely succeed?
However, Old Man still doesn't understand Tarot well enough. Mr. Fool is only a witness most of the time, and there's no so-called tacit approval … Leonard mumbled inwardly as he diverted the topic. However, Old Man still doesn't understand Tarot well enough. Mr. Fool is only a witness most of the time, and there's no so-called tacit approval … Leonard mumbled inwardly as he diverted the topic.
"Why does it feel like there's no end to this proverb?"
He didn't inform Pallez Zoroast of the exact situation regarding Tarot. All he did was mention it in general terms and relay what Mr. Fool had agreed to.
Pallez chuckled and said, "Indeed.
There's still the second half. 'Don't believe in' Their 'benevolence.' "
Believe in the might of deities, don't believe in 'Their' benevolence … Leonard silently repeated it a few times as he looked down at the notebook with a hard cover and a bronze-green color.
He then muttered wistfully,
This is truly comparable to a Grade 1 Sealed Artifact. Furthermore, the way to resolve the negative effects is very simple.
Before this operation, considering that the Moon domain also had a portion of the authority of Darkness, and that Beyonders of this pathway would have a stronger resistance to Nightmare-type influences when they reached a certain level, Leonard originally wanted to borrow Creeping Hunger from The World Klein Moretti, but in the subsequent discussion, Miss Magicians had mentioned the characteristics of Leymano's Travels, giving him a better choice.
Hence, he, who was in charge of using Angel's Embrace, borrowed Creeping Hunger from Klein for three hours and recorded a few useful Beyonder powers, including Bribe — Weaken.
"This is something from the House of Abraham," Pallez Zoroast said with a sigh.
Leonard was already aware of this. He nodded indiscernibly and turned to ask,
He then asked, "Old Man, do you have a way to weaken or control the negative effects of the mystical item I mentioned previously?"
"Can that be called a mystical item? That's something that needs to be sealed! " Pallez first reprimanded Leonard before saying, "Didn't you say that it has a living characteristic? That's relatively easy to resolve. "
Leonard relaxed and cast his gaze out the window again, admiring Saint Hierländ Cathedral which had characteristics that resembled a factory.
…
In North Borough's Phelps Street, where Saint Samuel Cathedral was located, at the entrance of the Rouen Charity Bursary Foundation.
Having changed her clothes, Audrey, who looked like an ordinary girl, alighted the carriage.
She had already removed her paperboy disguise in a hotel room that she had prepared beforehand. The room was booked by Emlyn, and it had nothing to do with her.
At that moment, there were a few people coming and going at the entrance of the Rouen Charity Bursary Foundation, but Audrey walked over without any qualms.
No one looked at her, as though she lived in another World.
Audrey briskly walked through the lobby and went up to the second floor, heading for the director's office that belonged to her. And along the way, everyone she encountered seemed to be playing along with her. They pretended not to see her, and they weren't surprised that an unfamiliar girl was there.
At the office's entrance, Audrey was just about to enter when she suddenly heard a familiar voice.
"Miss Audrey, this is the total amount of donations you have collected this week …"
The corners of Audrey's mouth couldn't help but curl up as she gently pushed open the half-closed door and walked in.
Inside the office, a staff member was holding a stack of documents and showing it to the person behind the desk.
The person behind the desk was a huge golden retriever with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses hanging around its neck.
It sat at the director's seat and casually flipped through the documents.
"No problem."
The staff member immediately retracted the documents and smiled at the golden retriever.
"I'll be heading out, Miss Audrey."
Behind her, Audrey held back her laughter as she walked to the sofa and sat down. She quietly watched her leave and didn't disturb the golden retriever from reading the other documents.
Susie read the various materials seriously, afraid that something would go wrong with her acting and affect Audrey's matters.
After a while, she suddenly looked around in puzzlement.
"Audrey, are you back?"
"How did you find out?" Audrey stood up from the sofa and appeared in front of Susie.
For this operation, she had specially communicated with Susie and asked her to replace her at the Rouen Charity Bursary Foundation. Then, she led the golden retriever and hypnotized the staff members who would come into contact with her during the day, making them treat Susie as Audrey.
As for possible visitors, she told the staff that they would only receive visitors in the afternoon.
And the signal for the hypnosis to be lifted was the church bell at two in the afternoon.
After seeing Audrey, Susie jumped down from her seat and said helplessly,
"It's almost two."
That's right … Audrey made a face at herself inwardly as she hurriedly entered her tiny resting room and changed into her own clothes. She then used Lie's ability to control flames to burn away her previous disguise.
Back in the office, she sat down in her seat and completely relaxed. She clasped her hands together and pressed them against her lips.
Frankly speaking, she had been very nervous, but before and after the operation, she had successfully "pacified" herself, without making any mistakes.
Now that he thought about it, it was quite interesting. He even discussed how to compensate those who were affected … Audrey, well done! A smile blossomed on the blonde girl's face, gradually becoming brighter and brighter.
After this matter, she realized that her Hypnotist potion had digested quite a bit. Furthermore, she had also confirmed one thing — the Bribe — Charm powers that the mystical item, Hand of Horror, came with was a perfect match for her Hypnosis!
Hmm, I also learned that Mr. Moon's name is Emlyn White … He didn't plan on hiding it because he definitely had to tell me; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to achieve his goal … Yes, yes, or giving me the name of the cathedral would do, but that would similarly expose his identity … I'm still a little tense. I was too stiff during the hypnosis. I actually used words like "first stage of hypnosis" that were too direct … Audrey "pacified" her slightly agitated emotions and seriously observed the entire process of today's operation, hoping to learn from it.
Gong! Gong!
Saint Samuel Cathedral's bell rang on the hour, indicating that it was two in the afternoon.
In 22 Phelps Street, where the Rouen Charity Bursary Foundation was located, several staff members trembled when they heard the bell. Then, they continued with their work as though nothing had happened.
…
Gong! Gong!
Amidst the cathedral's bell, Klein, who had transformed back into Dawn Dantès, once again walked to the balcony of 160 Böklund Street and looked at the situation at Macht's residence.
At this moment, a carriage passed by his manor's entrance and drove to the other end of the street.
Suddenly, Klein's intuition stirred as a scene surfaced in his mind.
A gray rat was slumped on the carriage's window, leisurely watching the scenery on the street.
