Baekeland, at the home of the furniture merchant, Hampres.
Audrey met the Psychological Alchemy councilor, Hvin Rambis once again.
This old man was as gentle and elegant as ever. His white and thick hair was neatly combed, and his blue and deep eyes seemed to contain endless knowledge.
Upon seeing him, Audrey's eyes were first lost before coming to a realization. It was as though she had finally woken up from a long dream and found her lost memories.
However, she wasn't surprised or surprised by this. She accepted this fact without any resistance, as though it was a very normal matter.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Rambis," Audrey greeted him with perfect etiquette.
Hvin nodded slightly and replied with a smile.
"Good afternoon, our girl."
In the past month or so of their meetings, he had gradually guided Audrey's self-identity as the pride of Psychological Alchemy and the most important girl.
Audrey looked down at the diamond brooch in front of her and found a seat with a smile, waiting for Hvin Rambis to speak.
She was prepared for the so-called hints and guidance, so she wasn't affected by it. At that moment, when she heard Hvin Rambis address him as such, she really wanted to disregard her image and etiquette to roll her eyes. However, she ultimately held back and didn't show any signs of it.
Hvin Rambis looked at Audrey for a few seconds and said with a smile, "You've done well during this period of time.
"You've done well during this period of time. As a reward, we've decided to give you the Dreamwalker potion formula."
As he spoke, he took out a neatly folded piece of paper from his coat pocket, placed it on the coffee table, and pushed it to the noble girl diagonally opposite him.
Audrey pressed down on her skirt, stood up slightly, took the piece of paper, and unfolded it in front of Hvin Rambis.
Her gaze first landed on the main ingredients before quickly sliding to the ritual.
"Main ingredients: One Dreamcatcher's heart, one Mind Phantom Crystal, or the complete brain of an adult mind dragon."
…
"Ritual: Find a human-headed bird demon in the spirit world and sign a contract with it. Then, take one of its tail feathers and consume the potion while feeling either joy or anger."
As if sensing Audrey's puzzlement, Hvin Rambis explained with a smile, "Don't worry.
"The human-headed bird demon has the ability of nightmares and can wake people up from their dreams. Therefore, the essence of the entire ritual is to pull you out through an external force when you are immersed in your dreams and unwilling to wake up. Otherwise, you might fall asleep forever or lose control and become a monster on the spot."
Audrey nodded thoughtfully.
"Taking the magic potion in the midst of intense emotions is also to prevent one from sleeping soundly and entering a deep dream?"
"Yes, you have grasped the key." "If you don't know much about the spirit world and can't find the human-headed bird demon, we can provide some help."
If the essence of the ritual is to wake me up from my dream, there's no need for a human-headed bird demon. Mr. Fool's angel's blessings can keep me lucid in my dream, allowing me to wake up whenever I want … Audrey's green eyes darted around slightly as she revealed a look of anticipation.
"I can try it myself first."
"Alright." Hvin didn't mind the girl's desire to take the risk.
He paused and said, "There's something else I need you to do.
"There's something else for you to do this time. If you do well, we'll provide all the ingredients for the Dreamwalker potion."
"What is it?" Audrey asked without any resistance, as usual.
Hvin Rambis's expression turned slightly solemn.
"Figure out the attitudes of your father, Earl Hall, the current Duke Of Negan, Admiral Amyrius, and the other nobles towards a relatively large war."
"War …" Audrey repeated this word that she often heard but also sounded unfamiliar. She felt as though ripples had suddenly appeared on the calm surface of a lake.
…
War … Above the gray fog, Klein fell into deep thought as he listened to Miss Justice's prayer.
He was currently unable to determine if the Psychological Alchemy, or Hermes, who was hiding behind them, or even Adam, welcomed or opposed war.
As for whether King Rouen, the Prime Minister, and a number of nobles and Members of Parliament wanted war, the answer was relatively clear.
Last year, The Hanging Man had once asked Miss Justice a similar question. Her answer was that the king and the Prime Minister had the inclination for war, but they had chosen to first carry out internal reforms and straighten out the various relationships.
Now, almost a year had passed. The various policies that had been introduced back then were basically on the right track.
This also meant that it was time to start a war and snatch back the benefits that Rouen had lost in East Balam!
It's an era of change. The internal conflicts between the various countries are intense. Once war breaks out, the extent of it will likely be uncontrollable … Furthermore, Adam, Amon, and the other Kings of Angels have returned one after another. They have either obtained key items or are seeking breakthroughs. The mysterious World is also about to usher in a storm, with hidden dangers … Klein sighed as he returned to the real World.
The next day, he followed his planned itinerary. He first went to Saint Samuel Cathedral to pray and donated dozens of pounds in cash. Then, he went to 22 Phelps Street, planning on participating in the matters of the Rouen Charity Bursary Foundation.
The moment he entered, Klein saw Miss Audrey Hall and a few members of the foundation's staff walk down the stairs to the door.
This noble lady was dressed very simply today. Her hair was simply tied up, and she didn't wear any accessories. Her dress was light green, and there were only ruffles on her sleeves. There were no lace or tassels.
"Good morning, Miss Audrey." Klein took off his hat in a familiar manner and bowed. He then nodded at the staff and greeted them, "Good morning."
After waiting for Audrey to respond, Klein casually asked,
"Where are they going?"
He knew that Miss Justice's main job at the foundation was to solicit donations from the gentlemen and ladies of high society.
Audrey replied with a faint smile,
"Visit various universities and show concern for the students you helped before."
When she said this, she blinked and her smile became a little more obvious.
"Mr. Dantès, do you want to go together? Go and see those children who have the opportunity to change their fate because of your thoughts and kindness. Oh, some of them are already young. "
Although Klein had no intention of receiving any returns from the Rouen Charity Bursary Foundation, he sincerely hoped that it could help the target group. Therefore, he was rather concerned about the actual progress and the actual situation. After some hesitation, he smiled and nodded.
"This is an invitation that cannot be refused."
They went out, and under Miss Audrey's suggestion, they chose a trackless carriage.
"You seem to be very used to it." After getting on the carriage, Klein first got Miss Audrey to sit down before sitting opposite her and asking with a smile.
Audrey looked at the nearby foundation staff and said with a smile, "It's not the first time.
It's impossible for me to take my own carriage every time I go out. They use public transportation.
At this point, she paused a little embarrassedly and said,
"The first time I took such a public carriage, I took out a one-pound note. The lady at the counter asked me to buy a few newspapers before coming back.
"Oh, it's cleaner here than I imagined. The smell in the air isn't too unbearable either."
Klein nodded slightly.
"This is because the truly poor seldom take such public transportation. They would rather walk. And under normal circumstances, they don't need to go, nor can they go too far."
Although Audrey could guess the reason, she still asked in front of others, "Mr. Dantès, you seem very familiar with such things?"
Klein smiled.
"Although I haven't experienced it directly, I've seen too much."
Audrey didn't continue the topic as she changed the topic to confirm the learning and living conditions of the recipients.
As they chatted, they arrived at the first stop of their visit, Baekeland University of Technology.
Due to Audrey's identity and Dawn Dantès's social connections, they directly met the newly established university's chancellor, a resident of 100 Böklund Street, Mr. Portland Moment.
This elder was tall, ruddy, and had a loud voice. He told his good neighbor, Dawn Dantès, and the esteemed Miss Audrey about the various things that had happened since the establishment of the university. From time to time, he would grumble about the Higher Education Commission.
Audrey and Klein listened with appropriate smiles, occasionally echoing in agreement.
Finally, they found an opportunity and suggested that they begin work.
Portland was just about to call his secretary in when he heard someone knock on his office door.
"Please come in," the chancellor replied loudly.
The door opened without a sound as a black-haired, brown-eyed girl walked in. She wasn't dressed up, and her face was rather thin. Her facial features were rather regular, and she looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old.
Klein's gaze suddenly turned a little deeper before he retracted it.
The girl didn't expect there to be a guest in the chancellor's office. She was momentarily nervous as she hurriedly lowered her head.
"Sorry."
"It's fine. They're about to leave," Portland said indifferently. "Have you finished the item I got you to make last week?"
"It's done." The girl passed through the door and stood to the side.
Portland Moment then smiled at Dawn Dantès and Audrey.
"Her name is Melissa Moretti. She's very talented in machinery. I chanced upon her, so I got her to help in my laboratory after class. Of course, she can only do miscellaneous chores for now."
"Not bad." The corners of Klein's mouth curled up as he praised her with a smile.
Audrey glanced at him and smiled.
"There are always arrogant fellows who say that women don't have talent in the field of machinery, and this lady has proven them wrong."
Portland shook his head with a smile.
"There's no need to care about those remarks. Alright, I'll get my secretary to bring you to understand the situation of the recipients."
Audrey and Klein didn't stay any longer and left the office.
After leaving, Audrey glanced at Dawn Dantès again, but she didn't say a word.
