Mystery: Shadow of Order - Chapter 203
“It’s my honor to meet a demigod.” Rawls lowered his head deeper.
Judging from Rawls’s tone and actions, it seems to indicate that he is somewhat afraid and suspicious of the “undead” demigods finding him. But in Klein’s spiritual vision, he found that Rawls’s heart was not like his outward expression.
The color of Rawls’ astral body is blue with a little red, which corresponds to calm thinking and a little excitement? Rather than the fear and doubt that his actions and expressions showed.
Covered by the gray fog, Klein, whose facial features were blurred, cast his eyes on Rawls. It was understandable to think calmly. He wanted to figure out the purpose of my arrangement, but why was he excited? Is it because I can use this thing to touch my beloved in reality?
“He is about to go to Backlund. As for the follow-up, it’s up to you to communicate with him.” Klein stopped talking about this matter too much, and the previous words were not quite in line with his “Fool” status.
Rawls nodded respectfully and sent his contact information:
“After your loved one arrives in Backlund, you can place an advertisement in the Backlund Morning News. The contact person is Jeffrey Lister. At seven o’clock in the evening, I will bring a mask to the Green Cemetery in the West End. .”
…
Above the gray fog, inside the majestic palace.
Klein at the top of the long bronze table took off the citrine bracelet wrapped around his left wrist, looked at the pure citrine, and sighed. If it wasn’t for divination to determine that Mr. Azik’s trip to Backlund would not be dangerous, he would never risk letting Mr. Azik take the risk to meet Mr. “Emperor”.
So far, Klein is still a little unsure about the specific identity of Mr. “Emperor” in real life, but he can be sure that he has a close relationship with the official Loen, and his status is definitely not just a mid-sequence Beyonder.
But “Emperor” doesn’t seem to be in the same mind with the forces behind him, and seems to be plotting something, otherwise, as an official Beyonder, he would never choose such a representative card – “Emperor”.
No matter what, the most difficult level has passed. After the Emperor has actually met Mr. Azik, he will never doubt that Mr. Fool is just a Sequence 9 Beyonder. An existence that a Sequence 4 “undead” believes in, even if it is not a true god, it will not be bad.
At most, he just thought that Mr. Fool had a good attitude towards the Blessed Ones, which they should have been able to see at previous Tarot meetings.
After confirming that there was nothing wrong, Klein simulated the state of falling at an extreme speed and left the majestic palace. He did not intend to write to Mr. Azik now, at least for a few days. And before writing the letter, he will perform another divination.
…
West End, Philips department store.
This is the most high-end department store in the Loen Kingdom, only open to nobles and wealthy members with membership.
There are always one after another of luxury carriages parked outside it, with different badges. Apart from being a holy place for shopping, this place has also become a well-known social place due to strict restrictions on personnel.
In a cafe on the second floor, Audrey smiled and communicated with a certain countess and viscountess who occasionally passed by, using different entry points to communicate with different nobles for a short time, but the main communication object was the beige dress in front of her. The girl in the ruffled stand-neck dress, Forth Wall, the author of Stormwind Heights.
After the last literary salon held in Earl Hall’s villa, Audrey often met Fors as a reader, and the two had met three or four times in five or six days.
Forsi held the bone china cup, looked at the brown tea soup in the cup, the sweet and delicious taste spread to her nose along the white air wafting out, carefully took a sip, and observed that she was with a baroness. Chat with Audrey.
Wearing a young beige long skirt with lantern sleeves, her arms that should have been exposed were covered by tulle-like sleeves extending from her elbows, and she could only vaguely see a little bit of whiteness. After the small white gauze cloak was taken off, a sapphire necklace was worn on the exposed slender gooseneck.
Coupled with Audrey’s elegant conversation, approachable smile, and decent etiquette, it’s no wonder that it is called Backlund’s most dazzling gem.
Seeing the smile on the face of the baroness who was praised by Audrey because of her husband’s outstanding performance in the upper house, this obviously made her even happier than directly praising her, Fors sighed inwardly. , She felt more and more that Audrey was not as she appeared and rumored to be, but a pure and innocent girl.
In Forsi’s eyes, Audrey has a delicate heart and calm observation. In this respect, even herself and Xio can’t compare.
From her interactions with Audrey in the past few days, she also vaguely felt that Audrey’s closeness seemed to have a certain sense of intentionality, and this sense of intentionality seemed not only to want to understand the Extraordinary World through Fors.
After the Baroness left, Audrey gave Fors an apologetic smile:
“Sorry, it looks like I picked the wrong place today.”
“It doesn’t matter, it’s an honor for me to be here.” Forsi put down the bone china teacup, replied lazily, and then set his eyes on the door of the cafe, where three policemen walked in.
Audrey noticed Fors’ sight, and also turned her gaze there.
Policemen? Why are there police here? Or two inspectors and a sheriff?
When their eyes just fell on a senior inspector, the senior inspector immediately turned to look at Audrey, revealing the scar on the side of his face, and a pair of eagle-like brown-yellow eyes on Audrey and Fors. After staying for a while, turn around and continue to ask the cafe clerk.
Compared to Audrey, who didn’t know much about the Beyonders of the three churches, Fors knew that it should be a police officer disguised as a Beyonder from the church. This is the West District, and the senior inspector with a scar on his face should be a member of the Nighthawks.
Fors picked up the bone china cup and sipped her head down. Even though she was with Audrey now, she was somewhat afraid of the Church’s Beyonders. This is the nature of every wild Beyonder, even if he doesn’t do anything illegal.
The three policemen showed a piece of paper to the clerk, asked a few questions, and left the cafe.
Audrey turned her head and found that Fors suddenly relaxed a little, thinking of Fors who was obviously nervous just after the police came in, she asked with some doubts:
“What’s wrong?” She also suspected that Fors had done something illegal, at least the relevant information collected did not show this.
Forsi put down the bone china cup, glanced at the cafe, and found that no one was beside them, and whispered to Audrey:
“The one who looked at us just now should be the night watchman of the Evernight Church. They often pretend to be police officers to handle cases.”
How can it be? Audrey shook her head subconsciously, the members of the Night Watch pretended to be police officers to handle the case, which was ridiculous.
Seeing Audrey shaking her head, Forsi added:
“Well, it’s not a pretense, it should be a disguise. After all, the affairs of the Extraordinary cannot be exposed to ordinary people.”
It’s still possible, Audrey looked at the three police officers who walked into a clothing store outside the window, and asked in a low voice with a little curiosity:
“You mean, they’re here to investigate some extraordinary event?”
“I don’t know that.” Fors shook his head and pointed to the clerk who was being questioned, “However, Audrey, you can ask the clerk to see what the police officers are here for. of.”
Audrey’s eyes lit up, she turned slightly and waved to Annie, the maid who was waiting at the door, and motioned for the clerk to come over.
Soon, the clerk dressed as a maid came to Audrey’s side, accompanied by the personal maid Annie, and showed a kind smile:
“Miss Audrey, is there anything I can help?”
“Oh, that’s it. I saw the police came just now. Did something happen?”
“Of course not. This is the Philips department store, which has the most complete security system to ensure the safety of every customer…”
It was a near-perfect formula first, and then the clerk explained what happened just now when the police came to the door:
“The sergeant asked if he had seen a lady in a blue dress come here recently, and if he sees it later, he can contact them.”
Audrey, the “spectator”, saw that the clerk was not very clear about this matter, and waved her hand to let Annie take the clerk away, and said to Fors:
“What do you think, is the lady in the blue dress a Beyonder?”
Forsi shrugged her shoulders extremely unladylike. She had never seen that person, so how would she know whether she was an Extraordinary or not, and she could not confirm whether a person was an ordinary person or an Extraordinary.
Audrey lowered her head in disappointment. Compared to her almost boring life, it was the affairs of Beyonders that could attract her interest, and then she led the topic to whether Forsi had Beyonder friends.
“Of course, most of them are just transactional relationships. After all, if you want to become a Beyonder, you must have access to formulas or materials.”
…
North End, Dalton Street.
Forsi came out of the subway station, glanced at the sun that was about to set, and sighed. With her character, she would choose to rent a carriage even if it was not very far from the apartment she rented. But now, she can only walk back on her own.
Last Tuesday, Xio had already purchased the “Sheriff” potion master material from the head of MI9 at Mr. A’s party, and had been successfully promoted to Sequence 8 “Sheriff”.
But the price is that Forsi and Xio’s savings have been emptied, and the two of them can’t even get a week’s rent for the apartment. Fortunately, they have already paid the rent for half a year, so there is no need to think about this for a short time.
However, in order to make money as soon as possible, Xio has already started to take tasks like crazy. Not only from MI9, but also from Williams’ small tasks.
Forsi is only glad that the main materials of his “Master of Trickster” are relatively difficult to find, and there is no need for two people to struggle. And I’m afraid I won’t have a chance to be promoted. The next full moon is coming. I don’t know if I can survive it?
The relaxed mood she had had when she was chatting with Audrey disappeared. Fors set off towards the apartment she rented with heavy steps, and she still had to walk for fifteen minutes.
Not too far away, Forsi looked up and found her new neighbor who had just moved in not far ahead, Alysia, who was suspected to have run away from home. She was wearing a common blue dress at the moment, and she was with a friend. The old woman was talking.
blue dress?
Fors subconsciously thought that in the Philips department store in the West End just now, the night watchman seemed to be looking for a lady in a long blue dress.
Shaking his head sharply, how could it be possible, the West End is so far away from here, and Alysia’s skirt is also a very common style. Forsi patted his forehead and walked over briskly.
[The book chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend who I have known for ten years, Mimi read! It’s so easy to use, I rely on this reading aloud to pass the time before driving and before going to bed, you can download it here]
But before taking a few steps, Alysia ended the conversation, turned to find Forsi, and walked towards her.
“Alicia, why are you here?”
“I’ll get something.” Alicia had a faint smile on her face, but she looked a little stiff. She raised the basket in her hand, which seemed to be a piece of clothing, “What about you? Go to your place again. A book lover, Miss Audrey, has met.”
Forsi did not answer this question, pointed to Alysia’s face, and persuaded:
“If you can~www.mtlnovel.com~Please don’t laugh like this, I’d rather face a face that is expressionless, so that we can still be friends.”
“Is it really that bad?” The stiff smile on Alysia’s face disappeared, and it turned into a wax figure again.
Forsi nodded heavily. Although the two were only neighbors, because of Alicia’s endless problems, the three quickly evolved into good friends. This level of ridicule will not hurt feelings, but will make Alysia behave as a normal person faster.
Forsi came to Alysia’s side, took her arm and walked forward with a little melancholy:
“Do you know where Audrey took me today? The Philip Department Store, the one that seems to be owned by the Negan family. There, almost everyone who knew Audrey had to stop and talk to him. She talks and I just stare blankly…”
The two walked forward for a while, and then stopped. An old carriage in front was slowly driving out of a house, blocking the road that was not very wide.
Under the apologetic eyes of the coachman, Forsi also closed his mouth, and stopped “discussing” how to become like Audrey with Alysia.
The carriage turned around, leaving a passable aisle, but a child with inconvenient legs jumped out of the house. The child was less than ten years old, and although he was wearing looser trousers, it could be seen that there seemed to be a ring on his left leg.
The kid who jumped out did not board the carriage directly, and stood there staggeringly on one leg with a set of tarot cards, his two dark eyes looked at Fors and Alysia, with a naive smile:
“Are you here to play with me? Would you like to try Tarot divination? My divination is very clever!”
