Upon seeing Frank's smile, Cattleya had mixed emotions. She then retracted her gaze and cast it at the fishing village near the harbor where the Future was.
No one expected that this was an important stronghold of the Moses Ascetic Order.
In order to avoid the Aurora Order's investigation, Admiral of Stars Cattleya and her fleet had recently stopped here!
She wasn't in a hurry to set sail, but prepared to disembark and use the facilities in the fishing village to communicate with her subordinates who were monitoring Artisan Charve in Bayam. From there, she could determine the situation and come up with a plan.
With this premise, the Future would be activated and head for the capital of the Rorsted Archipelago, Bayam, which was a few days away.
…
In Baekeland in July, the sky brightened especially early, but the overall temperature wasn't considered hot. It didn't even exceed 30 ° C.
Emlyn used his top hat to block the sunlight that penetrated the clouds, got off the carriage, and entered the Harvest Church.
At a glance, he saw Father Utravsky, who was dressed in a brown priest robe and a clergyman's bonnet, standing in front of the Sacred Emblem of Life like a mountain. He was preaching to the few believers who had come to pray in the morning.
Emlyn didn't take a second look as he walked straight to the back of the church, came to his room, and skillfully changed into his priest robe.
As he wiped the candlesticks and other items, he waited for the believers to leave. About twenty minutes later, he finally found an opportunity. He sat beside Bishop Utravsky and looked at the Sacred Emblem of Life.
He muttered to himself, "Father, I have a question to ask you."
With sparse eyebrows, light-blue eyes, and a few obvious wrinkles, Bishop Utravsky replied with a smile.
"Go ahead."
Emlyn paused for a breath and said the words he had repeatedly thought about last night.
"If, and I'm saying if, an estranged relative deceived you, causing you and your friend to fall into danger and nearly losing your life, and this matter isn't suitable for court, how would you punish him?"
Even though Father Utravsky was sitting, he was like a small mountain.
"First of all, you need to determine if the relative was careless and made a mistake, or if he was deliberately deceiving you and leading you into a trap. If it's the former case, what you need to do is warn him, remind him, and teach him instead of just punishing him. If it's the latter case, you need to confirm if this is his usual style of doing things.
"Yes, get rid of him. Otherwise, he will definitely harm others and the innocent. Ending his life and sending him back to the earth to restart the cycle of reincarnation is a form of mercy, a form of purification … "
… Purge … The priest was even calmer, more natural, and more peaceful than "World" when he talked about killing! Emlyn's facial muscles twitched slightly as he hurriedly interrupted Father Utravsky's answer.
"No, he doesn't usually act like this. It's only because of certain reasons that he targeted me this time. I, I don't want to kill him because of this."
Just as he said that, Emlyn froze. He seemed to indicate that he was the victim, indicating that this matter was an internal problem of the Sanguine.
Father Utravsky turned his head to look at him and revealed a gratified smile.
"Not bad, you already know how precious life is."
Emlyn forced a smile.
"So, how should I punish him?"
Father Utravsky looked at the Sacred Emblem of Life in front of him and said, "I don't advocate resorting to violence to solve problems.
"I don't advocate using violence to solve problems. You can bring him here and let him listen to my sermon, read the Holy Bible, understand the value of life, feel the kindness of the Mother Goddess, and work for the sins he has committed."
Isn't that what happened to me … Emlyn was taken aback before he felt that this method was very much in line with his intentions.
This wouldn't cause Ernes Boyar's death, nor was it something that could be compared to beating him up and demanding compensation. More importantly, this wouldn't escalate to the level of a battle. It wouldn't cause internal conflict among the Sanguine!
Of course, any method had its flaws. To Emlyn, if he wanted to do so, the biggest problem was:
How was he to bring Ernes Boyar to the Harvest Church?
Ever since he began volunteering here, all the Sanguine in Baekeland knew that they had to stay away from this area. Ernes Boyar was no exception. It was impossible for him to be tricked into entering!
And if he were to use violence, Emlyn believed that with the ring bestowed by the Ancestor, Lilith, and the magical and powerful spellbook he rented from Miss Magicians, it wouldn't be too difficult to defeat Viscount Ernes Boyar. However, it wouldn't be that easy to control him. After all, he was a Sanguine Viscount, equivalent to a Sequence 5 Beyonder. In addition, although Ernes wasn't too old, he still had quite a collection.
Under such circumstances, it would be difficult to directly take action. If he wasn't careful, it might result in a bloodbath. It would go against Emlyn's original intentions.
Perhaps I need to cooperate … In Baekeland, there are several members of the Tarot. If they cooperate with each other, they should be able to easily control Ernes … Uh, I can't expose my identity because of this. It's best to cooperate in stages and not meet each other … Amidst his thoughts, Emlyn made a decision. He planned on issuing a mission on the Tarot next week and seeking help.
He nodded slightly and responded to Father Utravsky's suggestion.
"That sounds good.
"I plan on calming down for a few days before making a decision."
Father Utravsky nodded and smiled.
"The process of sowing the fruit to harvest is a long one. One needs to wait patiently. You seem to have understood this point."
Of course, this was a very simple reason! Emlyn raised his chin slightly, habitually clasped his hands together, and prayed to the Sacred Emblem of Life.
…
22 Phelps Street, where the Rouen Charity Bursary Foundation was located.
Audrey placed the document in her hand back on the table and looked up at the wall clock hanging on the director's office wall. She found it difficult to relax.
She had already arranged with Escalante to meet at Stephen Hamplester's place in the afternoon.
Obviously, this meant that there would be a test. If the Psychological Alchemy team was cautious enough, they might have already reported the matter, and there might be a councilor observing everything in secret.
Based on her own level and abilities, although Audrey was unable to confirm how terrifying a High-Sequence Spectator was, she could already imagine how they would perform in certain fields. This made her feel a little nervous, afraid that she would be "seen through."
Actually, I should've delayed it a little longer. Although the timing and emotions I revealed are in line with psychological logic, and delaying the meeting would definitely arouse suspicion, compared to a little suspicion, it's more important to wait for Mr. World to return from the Southern Continent. That way, I can directly arrange for them to meet at the foundation, and I don't have to worry about a High-Sequence Spectator discovering anything … Sigh, Audrey, you still haven't considered things deeply enough … Audrey sighed silently and cast Placate on herself to calm her emotions.
In the afternoon, she wasn't in a hurry to leave the Rouen Charity Bursary Foundation. She sat in her office, lowered her head, clasped her hands, and softly prayed to Mr. Fool.
After doing this, she boarded her carriage with her maid, Annie, and her dog, Susie, and headed for the furniture merchant, Stephen Hamplester's house.
Just as the carriage began to move, a dazzling pillar of light suddenly appeared in front of Audrey.
In the pillar of light, an angel bathed in golden light with twelve pairs of wings on her back slowly descended. She used the wings formed from flames to wrap around her before dissipating layer by layer.
Audrey's vision quickly returned to normal. From the corner of her eyes, she swept her gaze at her maid, Annie, and her golden retriever, Susie. She realized that they hadn't noticed the scene that had just happened.
She's a little different from the angel from before … While Mr. Fool is recovering more, "His" angel has also recovered further? The corners of Audrey's mouth twitched slightly as she restrained her smile. She became abnormally certain.
Less than half an hour later, her carriage stopped in front of Stephen Hamplester's door.
After handing her hand to Annie, Audrey alighted from the carriage and walked to the door. She watched as her attendant rang the doorbell.
Not long after, Escalante came to open the door. As usual, she led Audrey directly to the activity room on the first floor. Annie and the dog, Susie, and the others were led to the living room by the servants to wait.
When she arrived at the door of the activity room, Escalante pressed her palm on the handle and solemnly gestured for her to enter.
This … Audrey had a vague guess, but she remained calm on the surface as she slowly walked through the door that Escalante had opened.
Escalante didn't enter but closed the door to the activity room from the outside.
Audrey looked ahead and saw an old man sitting quietly on a single-seater sofa facing the door of the activity room.
This old man was wearing a shirt, a vest, a three-piece suit, and striped blue-gray trousers. He wore a dark red bow tie, and his hair was completely white, but it was still lush. He had a gentle and elegant bearing.
He had a pair of blue eyes that seemed to be filled with wisdom and knowledge. Apart from the wrinkles on his forehead, there were basically no wrinkles anywhere else.
Audrey knew him. This was the royal family's consultant, Hvin Rambis!
Of course, Audrey had long known of this old man's secret identity on the Tarot.
Psychological Alchemy Council member!
She didn't hide her surprise, because she was indeed very surprised. Although she had guessed that Hvin Rambis would very likely come, she believed that he wouldn't directly appear. He would only observe in secret and let Hilbert or Stephen speak to her on his behalf.
"Are you very surprised?" Hvin Rambis asked with a smile.
He immediately stood up and bowed.
"Nice to meet you, Miss Audrey."
Audrey purposely opened her mouth and closed it again. Then, she replied with a complicated smile, "Yes.
Then, she replied with a complicated smile, "I don't know how to address you."
Hvin Rambis chuckled.
"As usual."
He pointed to the sofa beside him and said,
"Sit down and talk."
Audrey quietly took a deep breath and with a faint smile, she unhurriedly walked over and sat on the sofa, maintaining a distance that wasn't too far from him.
