After following Ernes Boar in a daze for a distance, Emlyn gradually had the intention of giving up.
He glanced at the increasingly heavy rain outside the arcade and couldn't help but think.
How should I punish Ernes? Although he's likely acting on orders or cues, it's still very despicable!
As for Lord Nibbs … I don't have the ability to do that now. Wait until I become a marquis or a duke. I'll definitely make him pay the price!
Miss Magicians has already completed her exploration of the abandoned castle. I wonder if Lord Nibbs has sent any Sanguine to monitor it … From her tone, description, and Mr. Fool's feedback, it's unlikely so … Could it be that Lord Nibbs didn't send any Sanguine to the vicinity of the ancient castle? But is there a need to probe it? Or could it be that he missed it due to certain problems?
Amidst his thoughts, Emlyn felt that he needed to discuss how to punish Ernes Boar. He lacked such experience.
Subconsciously, the first person that came to mind was The Hanging Man. This senior member of the Tarot was experienced in all sorts of matters. He was abnormally reliable, and he had never disappointed the other members.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Emlyn rejected this choice. This was because it involved the probing of the Sanguine. Revealing it to a member of the Tarot before the results were out would damage his pride and the image of the Sanguine!
For the same reason, he eliminated World as a candidate.
Of course, he felt that he could guess what kind of suggestion World would give.
Kill!
There's no need to go that far … Emlyn mumbled inwardly as he aimlessly followed behind Ernes Boar. He expanded the list of candidates to the real World.
Then, he realized that he didn't have many targets to choose from. He didn't have many friends.
After eliminating his parents, who were also Sanguine, he could only consider two people. One was Father Utravsky of the Harvest Church, and the other was Detective Sherlock Moriarty, who had many tricks up his sleeves.
Sherlock hasn't returned from Baekeland. Sigh, I can only find the priest tomorrow, but I can't say it directly … Emlyn quickly made up his mind. He walked past Ernes Boar, who had entered the watch shop, and walked to the end of the arcade. There were a few rental carriages waiting there.
After boarding the carriage, Emlyn casually cast his gaze at the window as he felt the wheels turn. He saw more and more raindrops smashing against the glass, leaving marks at the bottom.
In his blurry vision, carriages drove past.
…
Audrey retracted her gaze from the rainy scenery outside the carriage window and glanced at her personal maid, Annie, before silently communicating with Susie, who was squatting beside her.
She used her eyes, expression, and inconspicuous body movements to say, "I'm almost home.
I'm a little nervous.
Susie wagged her tail, raised her claws, and fiddled with the gold-rimmed glasses hanging around her neck. Combining the color changes of her Ether Body and Body of Heart and Mind, she expressed her thoughts.
Don't worry too much. Ma 'am Escalante, who appears to be a psychiatrist on the surface, is only at the level of a Telepathist. She won't be able to see through your lies.
Audrey nodded slightly as she watched the carriage drive into the Hall family's luxurious villa and stop in front of a sheltered foyer.
Ever since she joined the Rouen Charity Bursary Foundation, she had been spending less and less time at home during the day. She had originally planned on meeting Ma 'am Escalante of the Psychological Alchemy at 22 Phelps Street, but since Mr. Dawn Dantès had gone to the Southern Continent and wasn't at the foundation, there was no need for it.
In her private study, Audrey met Ma 'am Escalante Osleyka, who had waist-length black hair and a baby-faced face.
After leaving Susie outside the door, Audrey gracefully bowed and expressed her attitude. "I'm very sorry. After returning to Baekeland, I've been busy gathering with friends. Later, I joined the Rouen Charity Bursary Foundation and only met you today."
This was actually intentional on her part. She had dragged it out for almost a month. This way, it would be reasonable for her to digest the Psychiatrist potion and advance to Hypnotist. It was a progress that was considered a genius and not a problematic one.
Escalante returned the greeting without much thought.
"I heard that you're running errands for children who thirst for knowledge. Your virtue is more dazzling than diamonds."
As Audrey gestured for her to sit down, she walked to the single-seater sofa and tersely acknowledged.
"I've never seen those children's situations in the past. There's always a voice in my heart urging me to do something. Ma 'am Escalante, if you have the time, you can come with me and the staff of the Rouen Charity Bursary Foundation to visit different schools and see the situation of most children in this World."
Having said that, she chuckled and said in a self-deprecating manner, "I'm sorry.
"I'm sorry, I've been getting used to this topic lately because I want more nobles and tycoons to participate in this kind of charity, donate more money, and help more children."
After hearing Audrey's words, Escalante replied uncomfortably, "I'll do that.
I'll also donate some money to the Rouen Charity Bursary Foundation. "
"No, I don't want to force you to donate. This must be an act that comes from the bottom of your heart and is absolutely voluntary. I just hope that you can take a look and then inform the people around you of the situation of those children and their possible futures, including the members of the Psychological Alchemy." Audrey shook her head and rejected Escalante's suggestion.
"Alright." Escalante nodded in agreement at first, then felt that the matter was inexplicably absurd.
Miss Audrey's true intention seemed to be to solicit donations from the Psychological Alchemy organization.
However, this was a secret Transcendent underground organization!
This was no different from soliciting donations from the Aurora Order!
Audrey didn't discuss the matter of the Rouen Charity Bursary Foundation anymore.
Instead, she said, "Ma 'am Escalante, I have something to tell you."
"What is it?" Escalante "read" solemnity, joy, and pride from her emotions and actions.
Audrey smiled faintly.
"I've already become a Hypnotist."
"…" At this moment, Escalante suspected that she had been hypnotized.
Although she knew that Miss Audrey had previously obtained the Hypnotist potion formula, how long had it been?
"You should be able to confirm that I'm not lying," Audrey said with a smile.
Only then did Escalante snap to her senses and ask in surprise and doubt,
"You seem to have had an unusual encounter?"
"It's just that I'm brave enough to apply it," Audrey said truthfully.
Escalante frowned slightly and hesitated for a moment.
"You want the Sequence 5 potion formula?"
"Yes, what do I need to do or pay?" Audrey didn't hide her goal.
Escalante glanced at the beautiful blonde lady opposite her and said after some deliberation, "This isn't something I can decide.
"This is not something I can decide. I will report this to my superiors and arrange for you to meet with Hilbert and Stephen as soon as possible."
She was referring to Hilbert Alucard, a psychologist and jewelry designer, and Stephen Hamplester, a furniture merchant.
It was obvious that Escalante was in a subordinate position in their group of Psychological Alchemy members.
Audrey wasn't surprised by Escalante's reaction, but it didn't mean that there were no problems with her handling of the matter.
A Beyonder who was interested in advancing to Sequence 6 was a valued member of any secret organization, or even an orthodox Church. She was qualified to meet the upper echelons directly!
In other words, after advancing to Hypnotist, Audrey was already an elite in the middle echelons of Psychological Alchemy. Her next goal was to become a quasi-upper echelon. What she needed to meet was the councilors of the Psychological Alchemy Council, not Hilbert and Stephen.
As these thoughts flashed through her mind, Audrey deliberately released a little displeasure.
Escalante keenly caught this signal and quickly explained, "Meeting Hilbert and Stephen is to confirm your condition.
"Meeting Hilbert and Stephen is to confirm your condition. After that, one of the committee members will talk to you.
"In fact, with your current rank, you should be leading a team and recruiting more members, but your identity, position, and daily environment made us cancel this plan, fearing that it would affect your daily life."
Councilor … I wonder how many councilors there are in Baekeland's Psychological Alchemy Council … Could it be the royal family consultant, Mr. Hvin Rambis? Audrey nodded thoughtfully.
"I understand and will wait for your arrangements."
She immediately changed the topic, and curiously asked, her eyes turning slightly.
"Ma 'am Escalante, do you know what the Sequence 5 potion of the Spectator pathway is called?"
Seeing the blonde noble lady in front of her unconsciously revealing her girlish side, Escalante breathed a silent sigh of relief.
"I've heard Hilbert mention it once. It's called Dreamwalker."
Dreamwalker … This is a little different from what I imagined. Or perhaps this' dream 'is just a synonym. To be precise, it should be Subconscious Walker? Audrey didn't hide her thoughts and analysis as she directed the topic to various knowledge in the field of psychology.
After having Escalante stay for dinner, she sent the lady out of the foyer and onto a carriage.
At that moment, it was dark outside. The winds howled and the rain fell.
…
Amidst the pouring rain, howling winds, and the dark night, a steam-powered liner was cruising through the safe sea channel of the Berserk Sea.
Klein had already left the Southern Continent and was returning to Desi Bay in the form of Dawn Dantès.
As the ship rocked, he suddenly woke up, got out of bed, and walked to the window of the first-class living room to look outside.
In the deep night where the rain was falling, a huge three-masted sailboat covered in pure black silently sailed over.
There were lanterns hanging on both sides of it. It was nearly a hundred meters long, and there were three pitch-black sails hanging over it.
And on the deck, with its back facing the cabin, there was a mottled stone chair that was two to three meters tall. At that moment, no one was sitting on it.
This was the Black Emperor. This was the symbol of King of the Five Seas, Nast. The Black Emperor!
