"Good morning. Where's Mr. Dantès?" Audrey smiled politely as she asked the young servant of Rouen and East Balam.
Enuni bowed.
"He went to the washroom and will be back soon. Honorable lady, do you want to wait here?"
"Okay." Audrey found an armchair and sat down. Her mind was filled with all kinds of thoughts.
To be frank, if it was just to deal with Hvin Rambis, she already had a concrete idea. It was to hypnotize herself ahead of time, and when Hvin Rambis came to obtain feedback, she would activate the charm given to The World by German Sparrow without any "malice." Then, she would cooperate with the crazy adventurer to hunt the demigod.
Hmph, in order to ensure that there aren't any problems, I can also seek Ma 'am Hermit's help. She's already a demigod, so she can hide in the shadows and join forces with Mr. World at the critical moment. In that case, Hvin Rambis probably won't be able to escape, right … Audrey pursed her lips and resisted the urge to bare her teeth.
As for how The Hermit could come to Baekeland, she didn't find it problematic. She could rent Leymano's Travels and get Mr. World to record the Teleportation before praying to Mr. Fool to pass it to her.
But this way, even if Hvin Rambis failed to escape and revealed the murderer, Psychological Alchemy would have sufficient reason to suspect that the last person this demigod came into contact with was Audrey herself.
And this meant that there would be countless troubles in the future … Audrey's eyes shifted slightly as she tried to calm herself down.
At this moment, Dawn Dantès, who had white sideburns and a scholarly air, returned from the washroom. He smiled and greeted the noble lady who was waiting for him.
After getting his valet, Enuni, to guard the door, the tycoon looked around before finally landing his gaze on Audrey.
"You seem to have encountered some difficulties?"
Audrey didn't try to decipher Mr. World's words and actions.
"Yes …"
She described the key points of her previous encounter and said, "That's right.
"What should I do to solve this problem?"
The true meaning of solving the problem was to not leave behind any future troubles.
Klein smiled.
"Why don't you discuss it with those two ladies?"
That's right! Just like Mr. Moon, I can request for a small private exchange … Hmm, Xio and Magicians Fors, who are already embroiled in this matter, definitely have to participate. Apart from them, I have to invite Mr. World, Mr. The Hanging Man, Ma 'am Hermit, and Mr. Moon. Uh, forget about Mr. Moon … Audrey felt a baffling sense of excitement.
At this moment, she felt that she was not fighting alone.
"I understand." Audrey nodded with a smile on her face.
She immediately thought of another question and took the opportunity to ask:
Why did Hvin Rambis get me to stop ostracizing the princes and praise them in front of my parents?
Klein thought for a moment and said, "It might be a show of friendliness on the surface.
"It might be a show of friendliness on the surface to rope in your father and hint to the Church of Evernight backing him. Regardless of the secret the king has, whether it succeeds or not, he will ultimately need the support of at least one orthodox church to divide the opposing forces."
"Is that so …" Audrey didn't reject Mr. World's explanation too much. This was because peeling away the outer shell of Beyonder powers was essentially the politics she was familiar with.
She didn't stay any longer and returned to her office. After dealing with her daily matters, she seized the afternoon break to pray to Mr. Fool and request for a small gathering.
…
Above the endless grayish-white fog, dark red beams of light rose around the mottled, ancient bronze table.
Audrey surveyed the area and stood up to bow at the other members.
"Everyone, I have something I wish to hear from you."
"It sounds urgent," The Hanging Man Alger replied with a nod.
Audrey sat down and said, "Yes."
"Yes."
She then looked at Xio and the Magicians Fors.
"I met Hvin Rambis this morning. He hypnotized me to do two things for him and forget he came.
Fortunately, I was rather cautious and careful. I quickly discovered something amiss, and with Mr. Fool's blessings, I recalled everything.
"One of the things Hvin Rambis wants me to do is to arrange a meeting between Miss Judgment and Miss Magicians and take the opportunity to hypnotize them. I'll learn from them about the mastermind behind their recent actions and get them to leave Baekeland as soon as possible."
What? Magicians Fors was initially only worried about Miss Justice's safety, but she never expected things to go one full circle and end up involving her and Xio!
He actually used Miss Audrey to make a move, it was really hard to guard against! Being targeted by a SemiGod … Fors felt even more astonished and afraid after her initial astonishment.
She couldn't help but glance at her friend, only to see Xio sitting there calmly, but her hands had unconsciously clenched into fists.
Cattleya was somewhat puzzled as she frowned.
"Psychological Alchemy, or should I say Hvin Rambis, discovered that Miss Judgment and Miss Magicians are members of our Tarot?"
This was a very serious and crucial matter.
Audrey shook her head.
"No, it's just because I know them in the real World."
At this point, she no longer attempted to hide her identity from Fors and Xio.
In fact, from the moment Xio joined the Tarot team and obtained the Judgment card, Audrey knew that she would be exposed sooner or later. Through repeated observations, she confirmed that her two friends had already guessed it, but they tacitly didn't expose her.
"You know them?" Cattleya nudged the heavy glasses on her nose bridge and asked in surprise.
Audrey nodded.
"Yes, they were actually recommended to the club by me. Mr. The Hanging Man can testify …"
Ah? Didn't we chant Mr. Fool's honorific name in order to save ourselves and get pulled here? How did we end up being recommended? Magicians Fors looked at Miss Justice before looking at Xio with a blank and puzzled look.
Xio also revealed a rare similar expression, because the word "recommendation" had exceeded her knowledge and guesses.
Audrey was a little embarrassed. She blinked her eyes and explained to her two friends in embarrassment, "That's not the case.
Test? That's a little embarrassing. She blinked and explained to her two friends in embarrassment, "Because of your uniqueness, and because I wish for Tarot to develop and strengthen, 'He' recommended the two of you to Mr. Fool. However, this is only a chance for you. If you hadn't passed Mr. Fool's test, 'He' wouldn't have pulled you here."
Test? What kind of test did I undergo? Magicians Fors remained confused, but Xio thought of many things, especially the origins of the piece of paper with Mr. Fool's honorific name, as well as the encounter that made her frantically seek someone to exorcise the evil.
It's no wonder I felt like they knew each other … It's no wonder Miss Judgment only joined the club after so long. It's likely that the tests they underwent were different … Each of them has their own uniqueness. This "uniqueness" is the selection criteria for Tarot. Do I have it too? Cattleya came to a realization and had her own guesses.
Having already made his judgment, The Hanging Man Alger, who wasn't surprised at all, chuckled when he saw this.
"We can talk about these matters in the future. Miss Justice, the question you wish to ask is how to deal with Hvin Rambis."
"Yes." Audrey returned to the topic at hand and asked seriously, "Not only do I have to deal with Hvin Rambis, but I also have to prevent Psychological Alchemy from suspecting me. What should I do?"
Alger didn't have the experience of dealing with a demigod, so all he could do was use the thoughts he had developed over a long period of time to deliberate.
All he could do was rely on his long-developed train of thought and say, "Lock onto Hvin Rambis's whereabouts and take action after he makes contact with others?"
"How do I do that?" Audrey raised the question and answered it herself. "After obtaining the answer from Miss Judgment and Miss Magicians, when I see Hvin Rambis again, I'll wait for him to leave before chanting Mr. Fool's honorific name and asking him to cast his gaze on this demigod?"
In theory, it's possible. My "true vision" above the gray fog has a radius of nearly ten kilometers. As long as Hvin Rambis doesn't know how to "Teleport," I'll be able to determine his whereabouts and trajectory for a short period of time. Then, I'll return to the real World and directly "Travel" over there. Hmm, this requires the help of divination … But the problem is that The Fool has personally interfered … Klein, who was using the identity of The World's German Sparrow, said hoarsely, "Let me remind you of something.
Miss Judgment and Miss Magicians mentioned Adam in the real World. Psychological Alchemy originated from the excavation of Hermes's ruins. Hermes was a member of the Twilight Hermit Order, and one of the founders of the Twilight Hermit Order was Adam. And Mr. Fool doesn't wish to directly become enemies with the Twilight Hermit Order over this matter. Even if we want to do something, we should try our best not to let it be known. "
The amount of information contained in this series of words made The Hanging Man Alger, The Hermit Cattleya, and company feel like they were experiencing a brainstorm. Xio and Magicians Fors were even more shocked.
So that organization is called the Twilight Hermit Order … Mr. Fool doesn't wish to become enemies with the Twilight Hermit Order over this matter because "He" had just worked together with the Angel of Imagination Adam to plot Ince Zangwill's matter? I never expected Psychological Alchemy to be related to the Twilight Hermit Order … Wait, Hermes? H-he's still alive? He's actually a member of the Twilight Hermit Order? T-are the members of this organization really important figures that we can't imagine? The Hanging Man Alger first glanced at The World German Sparrow before he couldn't help but look at The Hermit Cattleya.
He discovered that the latter was equally shocked, and she didn't hide it.
"Twilight Hermit Order … Is this the ancient secret organization that Rosell The Great once joined?" The Hermit Cattleya seemed to mutter to herself as she asked in search of confirmation.
The World German Sparrow gave the answer:
"Yes.
"After you return to the real world, it's best not to recall such matters. It's very easy to be sensed. If you're worried about yourself, you can get Miss Justice to give you some psychological cues."
