Chapter 378 Sense of Urgency

698
What... Audrey's eyes widened slightly, but it was probably because she was mentally prepared when her father was about to run away. At this moment, she unexpectedly found that she was actually much calmer than she imagined.

So she clenched her skirt tightly, made a terrified expression suitable for a simple noble lady, and looked at her father in disbelief:

"Father, Hibbert wants to go to Intis alone? To inherit the noble title there?"

"Dad, so Mom and I never see Hibbert again?"

Earl Hall nodded silently, and the Countess gently wiped away her tears.

Audrey opened her mouth, but said nothing more.

If Alfred was still there, he would be the one who went to Intis. Leaving the second son of a great nobleman would not damage the reputation of Earl Hall and the Hall family, and he could also bet the most effectively... Ao Dai Li gritted her teeth silently, but it was Hibbert who was leaving now, and the earl's eldest son was leaving. This matter would definitely cause an uproar in the social world... Besides, Hibbert also had a lot of contacts and had a nominal position, although There must be many aristocratic families who do this, but it will definitely attract the attention of others in this period...

But Intis is a country with such a bad reputation, Audrey felt that even if she became a Sequence 5, she would not feel safe there alone.

Is this the best way to assign?If in order to preserve the face of the family and the decency of the nobility, Earl Hall should send his youngest daughter there and leave his eldest son here. It just so happens that he is an adult and a social adult, so he can engage in engagement and use this as a legitimate reason to go to other countries.Aristocratic women can basically be completely separated from their families after they get married. When the Sauron family fell, the promoters of the republic were not crazy enough to do anything to the female relatives who had married to other countries and families...

Although Audrey is good enough to marry a prince in Loen, but it may not be the case in Intis.

Because the distant relatives of the Montemar family that Earl Hall's family found were marquises, Audrey would definitely not be able to get engaged to the eldest son as a nobleman to rely on, and it might be difficult for her to enter the family.

Earl Hall's expression has calmed down, and he said softly:
"Yes, the relatives of the Montemar family lost some vassals in the war and gained extra territories. They are willing to 'sell' a title to us. They only need to spend 30 pounds to get a hereditary baronet position. Double it, it's the Viscount..."

Hibbert, who had been sitting silently next to his mother, couldn't help but said: "Father, you don't need to pay so much, I just need a baron title, please believe me, I will definitely do my best, in a foreign country Maintain the dignity and pride of the Hall family!"

Audrey looked at her elder brother twice more. Hibbert's expression and complexion were very ugly. It seemed that she hadn't slept well for a few days. She sighed quietly, staring at her overlapping fingertips, and began to think Do you want to tell Mister Fool about this matter in your own house?She really wants to confide in her now, but she can't say this to her tutor, not to her friends, and it's meaningless to confide in Susie, let alone other members of the Psychological Alchemists... Audrey thought for a while Circle all the people who can confide, and finally lose the desire to confide.

"Say no more, my child."

Earl Hall shook his head and said reassuringly: "Actually, they are more interested in our family's shares. It is acceptable to get you a title of Viscount. It's just that the fief may be more remote, but it is also convenient. You develop life silently."

"After all, we are just looking for a way out, not asking you to make contributions in Intis."

"But, father..."

"That's it." Earl Hall took Audrey's hand and softly comforted his daughter who seemed to be a little hard to accept the reality, "Don't be afraid, Audrey, Mom and Dad will always be by your side, no matter what happens, we will protect you."

Audrey nodded slowly, leaned against her father without saying anything.

……

Audrey returned to the bathroom and skillfully used her own essential oils and jewelry to start the ceremony. When water ripples appeared on the mirror, she suddenly felt that her desire to talk, which had almost disappeared, returned, but it seemed as if something was blocking her throat , she couldn't say anything.

A figure slowly appeared in the mirror, and Audrey was just about to say hello, but found that this time it was a complete stranger who appeared in the mirror.This time it turned out to be a middle-aged man with an old look, covered in scars, wearing a simple linen robe like an ascetic monk, looking at her calmly.

Audrey was stunned for a moment, then quickly stood up and saluted: "Hello!"

"Hello."

The figure in the mirror looked at her and replied calmly: "The Temperance Angel couldn't answer something. Your prayer came to me. I heard him mention you. I won't do you any harm. What's your business?"

"I, I want to ask him for a piece of advice."

Being able to accept the prayers of the Temperance Angel, this must be an Angel, maybe even higher... Audrey, who was instinctively wary of the Rose School of Thought, felt embarrassed when facing a strange angel, and didn't know whether to sit down or continue. Standing——In order to express respect, she chose to continue standing, gradually calmed down, and then spoke carefully:
"Your Highness, I have encountered some things and want to seek advice from him..."

She quickly found a reason.In fact, I just wanted to talk and ask some questions.

"There was a war between my homeland and another country. Before that, my homeland was in a weak position, the borders were bloody, and even the capital was bombed by the enemy's airships. So my father wanted to protect himself wisely, with We took refuge in another country."

The angel in the mirror listened quietly, this attitude made Audrey feel more at ease.

"Unfortunately, that country was also attacked later. Instead, my motherland won a certain victory in the war, forcing back the enemy's army and driving them back beyond the border. The people of my motherland are very happy , but I feel no joy."

Audrey's gaze fell on a bottle of essential oil on the bathroom vanity table, bit her lips lightly, and said:
"I... I found that I can't accept the idea that my father wants to leave the country for asylum, not to mention that I will lose my foundation because of it. But I also know that he is for our good. I thought my father should continue to stay He came down, but now he feels that he should bet more and wants to send my brother to another country, so that no matter which country loses in the end, our family can continue."

"Ah."

The angel in the mirror still didn't show anything when he confided to Audrey: "Then what kind of advice do you want?"

"Dad made the decision for our family's life and future life. I don't think I have the right to criticize him."

Audrey thought about it, and clenched her hand:

"Letting my elder brother go to Intis alone to inherit the title is also the best way to preserve the power of our family... I am a psychiatrist, and I used to be a mind reader. I can read the disappointment and helplessness in my heart. I can continue to stay in Ruen, live a stable life and continue to participate in the operation of my foundation, which seems to be a good thing, but I, I..."

The Bound God looked at her, and the mind reader lowered her head. She hesitated for a long time before finally saying as if she had made up her mind:
"Sorry, Your Highness, this is too hard to tell. My life is already so beautiful, but I still don't seem to be satisfied with it. I don't seem to be satisfied with getting engaged in order to avoid disadvantages in the future. I think... I still have A lot of things I want to do, I want to expand my charity organization, I want to go to sea, I want to go to more places... I don’t want to go on like this, I’m just too greedy, sorry.”

"Maybe it's not your fault."

Torzner said: "It may be because you have established a mystical connection with us, and certain thoughts in your mind have been magnified. You should know that the 'Prisoner' pathway will amplify your own desires due to curses. Your sequence is too Low, it's normal to be affected by Richard."

Audrey was taken aback for a moment, but she never thought of this answer: "...Thank you."

Thinking about it carefully, it was a long, long time ago that I longed to go on a sea adventure because of the experience of Mr. "The Hanged Man". Famous adventurer.But Mr. World's experience also proves that the sea is extremely dangerous. It is a chaotic country full of blood and violence. There, the middle sequence may also die because of accidentally offending a hidden demigod. This danger is effectively dispelled. The beautiful fantasy in Audrey's mind.

She has always thought that now that she has become stronger and grown up, she should no longer have these unrealistic and beautiful fantasies like before, but it is probably because she has been depressed recently, and those little thoughts have taken off again. Headed out.

"I always feel that I am still unsatisfied, but what qualifications do I have to be unsatisfied?"

Audrey sighed softly into the mirror: "I was not born in the Southern Continent, so I don't have to worry about being bought by His Majesty the King as a slave. I was not born in a slum, so I don't have to worry about food and health. I was born in a noble family, and I have everything... ...Even if my father sends me to marry other nobles, that's what I should do, because I am the daughter of the earl's family, and having enjoyed such a status, I should assume such responsibilities."

Yes, these are things she should do.

As the Temperance Angel had told her, they had too many resources.For Audrey, saying something like "I can't decide my origin" is just prevarication and evasion. Audrey Hall must accept the future destiny given by her family.

The price is Audrey's own dream, the future she desires, and everything she wants.

"Welcome to the Southern Continent."

"We also welcome consultations with psychiatrists," Torzner said.

It didn't take long for the conversation to end, and Audrey only realized after it was over that she seemed to have only confided something unilaterally, and did not seek any advice.She smiled wryly, pretended to have finished the bath, changed her clothes and left the bathroom.

The personal maid, Anne, was waiting outside the bathroom. When the weather turned cold in mid-September, when she saw the young lady coming out in home clothes, she immediately stepped forward and put Audrey in a soft robe.

"Miss, you have no other plans this afternoon. Are you going to take a nap or prepare afternoon tea?" Annie asked.

Audrey thought for a while and asked:
"I'm going to take a lunch break. Is Teacher Escalante free this afternoon? I want to chat with her."

During this period of time, Hall’s family was very busy. Some servants died, and new people needed to be hired to fill them. There were also many matters related to the fief, as well as some joint-stock companies and other things that were affected in the battle of gods. There are also large areas of ruins. The noble people can only temporarily stay in their fiefs or luxury hotels. Earl Hall is also very busy, and he has no time to talk to them until today.

Under such circumstances, of course Audrey would not trouble her family with her own affairs.Naturally, some social activities were pushed down, and I stayed at home without going out-fortunately, no one is in the mood to socialize now.

Annie's expression changed, and Audrey immediately read the nervousness and hesitation of the other party, put on a smile, and asked softly:
"What's wrong? Annie, are you tired?"

"No, it's not, miss." Anne said hesitantly, "Ms. Escalante... was unfortunately killed."

Audrey froze for a moment, and did not hide her sadness and shock at all: "Oh my god, this is simply... Anne, I just found out about this. Please help me prepare a gift and give it to Yi in my capacity. Ms. Silent's family."

"Okay," said Anne.

All the way back to the bedroom, Audrey maintained a sad and depressed mood. Nine points of it were real, and only one point was the tension caused by Audrey's speculation about the deep meaning of this matter.She lay down on the big soft bed, Annie closed the curtains and retreated outside the bedroom. Susie ran over with a rattle, put her front paws and head on the bed, and tilted her head to look at Audrey who was still a little sad.

"What's wrong with you, Audrey?" Susie shook her ears, "You look sad."

Audrey turned over and moved to Susie's side: "Susie, do you remember Teacher Escalante? She... she died."

"Did you die?" Susie was also a little dazed, her tail no longer wagging, "The teacher of the Psychological Alchemy Association... I really like the stories she told and the knowledge of occultism, which means that we will never see her again ,Yeah?"

After being told by Susie, Audrey suddenly felt her nose sore. She tried her best to suppress her feelings and nodded: "Yes."

Susie was visibly lost.

Then, Audrey thought about it, and said her guess: "Susie, the Psychological Alchemy Association seems to be very chaotic now. When I want to obtain low-sequence formulas, they will spend a long time examining my loyalty to the organization. I secretly found out the name of the potion for Sequence 6, but now they are willing to directly tell me the formula of potion for Sequence 5... I heard from Hvin Rambis that it is called 'Dreamwalker'."

Mentioning this name made Audrey feel a little disgusted.

But right now, the other party not only showed affection to him, but also did not hypnotize her to inquire about the nobles' information, so he endured it.

"Dreamwalker? That is to say, can we enter other people's dreams?" Susie's tail tip gently swept the ground, "Well, do you think they told you the formula to get it from you? What, Audrey?"

"At first, I was still a little uncertain, but now I think... Ms. Escalante's death may not be as simple as being killed."

Audrey made a guess: "There must have been a big change in the Psychological Alchemy Association, so that this part of Backlund's team has lost control to varying degrees... This loss of control means that they have other ideas, For example, Hvin Rambis gave up the idea of ​​asking for information through me, and started to win me over instead, because he thought that I still had trust and affection for him because of hypnosis..."

"I seem to understand a little bit." Susie looked at her curiously, "He wants to pull you into his camp?"

While talking, I felt a little sick to my stomach, but after being silent for a while, Audrey insisted on analyzing with Susie:
"This should be."

"Psychological Alchemists seem to be in internal chaos right now. I was lucky enough to get the Sequence 5 formula. But if I accept Hvin Rambis's gift, it means that I want to join him, at least on the surface. Joining him, he probably just wants to use the status and strength of the Hall family, as well as me, to be his gunman, which I can fully confirm."

"Also, I was hypnotized by him, and I will definitely accept this gift."

"Susie, my idea is that I will continue to pretend to be hypnotized, first get this formula, become a Sequence 5, and then help you become a Sequence 5, and then observe what Hvin Rambis wants to do. If he If he wants to harm my family and others, I will stop him."
