Part 5 The Red Priestess Chapter 101 Brainstorming
”Good morning, where’s Mr. Dantes?” With a polite smile, Audrey inquired about the young manservant who was a mix of Rune and East Byron.
Njoni said with a curtsy:
”He went to the washroom and will be back soon, would you like to wait here, honorable lady?”
”Yes.” Audrey found a single couch and sat down, all sorts of thoughts rolling through her mind.
Frankly speaking, if it was just about resolving Hwyn Lambeth, she already had a specific idea, that was to hypnotize herself in advance, and when Hwyn Lambeth came to get feedback, she would activate the spell given by the “world” Germaine Sparrow without any “malice”, and later cooperate with that crazy adventurer. Afterwards, he hunts demigods with that crazy adventurer.
Heck, just to make sure there’s no problem, I’ll even ask Ms. “The Hidden One” for help. She’s already a demigod, so she can hide in the shadows and join forces with Mr. “The World” at the crucial moment. …… Audrey pursed her lips and resisted the urge to gently bare her teeth.
As for the question of how the “Hidden Man” came to Birkeland, she did not think there was anything to worry about, it is entirely possible to rent the “Lemano’s Travel Notes” and ask Mr. World to record the “teleportation”. She could have solved the problem by renting “Lemanor’s Travel Notes”, asking Mr. World to record the “transmission”, and then praying for Mr. Fool to pass it on to her.
However, even if Hwyn Lambeth fails to escape and reveal the murderer, the Psycho-Alchemy Society will have good reason to suspect the last person the demigod touched, that is, Audrey herself.
And this means that there will be countless troubles …… to follow Audrey s eyes slightly turned, trying to calm herself.
At this time, the sideburns gray temperament elegant Dawn Dantes returned from the washroom, smiled and greeted the noble lady waiting for her.
After letting his personal manservant, Njoni, guard the doorway, the tycoon looked around before finally settling his gaze on Audrey:
”You seem to have encountered some difficulties?”
Audrey didn’t bother to interpret Mr. World’s mannerisms and responded frankly:
”Yes ……”
She picked up the highlights of her previous encounter and described it, ending with:
”What can I do to really solve the problem?”
Truly resolving meant leaving no loose ends.
Klein smiled and said:
”Why don’t you ask those two ladies to discuss it together?”
Yeah! Like Mr. Moon, we can apply for a small private communication …… Well, Hugh “Trial” and “Magician” Foerth, who are already involved in this matter, should definitely be involved. Hugh “The Trial” and Forsyth “The Magician”, who are already involved in this matter, must attend, and in addition to them, Mr. “The World”, Mr. “The Hanged Man”, and Ms. “The Hidden Man” must be invited as well, “Mr. Moon… Well, Mr. Moon, not so much… Audrey was inexplicably cheered up a little.
This instant, she had the feeling that she wasn’t alone.
”I see.” Audrey nodded with a slight smile spreading across her face.
She then thought of another question and was busy taking the opportunity to ask for advice:
”What exactly is Hwyn Lambeth’s purpose in asking me to stop ostracizing several princes and praising them in front of my parents?”
Klein pondered for a moment and said:
”It could be to display a superficial friendliness, to draw your father in, to hint that behind him, the Black Night Church, no matter what secrets the king has and whether or not he can succeed, he will definitely still need the support of at least one Orthodox Church in the end as a way of dividing the opposing forces.”
”So ah ……” Audrey did not have much rejection of Mr. “World’s” explanation, because peeling off the shell of extraordinary ability, it is essentially the politics she is familiar with.
She did not linger, returned to her office, after dealing with the daily business, seized the noon break, prayed to Mr. “Fool”, applied for a small gathering of the convening.
……
Above the boundless gray mist, a deep red light soared around the mottled bronze table.
”Justice,” Audrey said as she looked around the room and rose to salute the remaining members:
”Gentlemen, there’s something I’d like your input on.”
”Sounds urgent.” “Inverted Hangman” Alger responded with a slight nod.
”Justice,” Audrey said as she sat down:
”Yes.”
She then looked over at Hugh “Judgement” and Forsyth “Magician”:
”I met Hwyn Lambeth this morning and he hypnotized me into doing two things for him and forgetting that he had been here.
”Fortunately, I was quite discreet and careful, and soon discovered the anomaly, and with the blessing of Mr. ‘Fool’ remembered everything.
”One of the things that Hwyn Lambeth asked me to do was to make an appointment to meet Miss ‘Judgment’ and Miss ‘Magician,’ to take advantage of the opportunity to hypnotize them, to obtain from them information about the mastermind of their recent operations, and to get them out of Bakerland.”
What? “Magician” Voorhees was initially only worried about Miss Justice’s safety, but he didn’t realize that things had circled back to himself and Hugh!
He actually started through Miss Audrey, so it’s really hard for people to be on guard! Being a demigod stared at …… Forsyth surprised after, the heart of the emergence of more is surprised and afraid.
She couldn’t help but look at her friend, only to see “judgment” Hugh seemingly calmly sitting, but his hands have unconsciously clenched into fists.
”The Hidden One” Gadelia, on the other hand, was slightly puzzled and frowned slightly, saying:
”The Psycho-Alchemy Society, or rather Hwyn Lambeth, has discovered that the two ladies ‘Judgement’ and ‘Magician’ are members of our Tarot Society?”
This was a very serious and critical matter.
”Justice,” said Audrey, shaking her head:
”No, just because I know them in the real world.”
By this time, she no longer tried to hide her identity from Forsyth and Hugh.
In fact, from the time Hugh joined the Tarot Club and got the “Judgement” card, Audrey knew that she would be exposed sooner or later, and through her observation time and time again, she confirmed that her two friends should have already guessed it, but they just tacitly didn’t reveal themselves.
”You know them?” “The Hidden One,” Gadelia asked rhetorically, rather surprised, as she pushed up the heavy glasses that rested on the bridge of her nose.
”Justice,” Audrey nodded:
”Yes, they were actually all recommended by me to join the club, and Mr. ‘Inverted Hangman’ can testify to that ……”
Huh? Didn’t we chant Mr. Fool’s name to save ourselves and get dragged in here? How did we get recommended for membership? “Mr. Fool, the magician, looked at Ms. Justice, and then looked at Mr. Hugh, the Judge, with a bewildered and puzzled look on his face.
Hugh, too, rarely looked similarly, for the word “recommendation” was more than she had realized or guessed.
”Justice” Audrey, a little embarrassed, blinked, and sardonically explained to her two friends:
”Because you are each special, and I want the Tarot Club to grow, so I recommended you to Mr. ‘Fool’, but this is just giving you a chance, if you don’t pass Mr. ‘Fool’s’ test. k is not going to pull you guys here.”
A test? What test have I been put through? “While Forsythe the Magician remained confused, Hugh the Trial thought a lot, especially about the origins of the paper with Mr. Fool’s name on it, and the encounter that had sent him scrambling for an exorcism. I’m not sure they know each other.
No wonder I feel that they know each other …… No wonder the “trial” Miss so far apart to join the club, this should be different from each of the test …… have their own special, this kind of “special” is the “Special” is the Tarot’s selection criteria. Do I have it too? The “Hidden One” Gadelia has some dawning realization, but also have some guesses.
This already have a certain judgment, half not surprised “upside down man” Alger see this, laugh:
”These things can be talked about later, Miss ‘Justice’, the question you want to ask is how to solve Hwyn Lambeth?”
”Right.” “Justice” Audrey turned back to the topic and seriously inquired, “If not only do I have to solve Hwyn Lambeth, but I also have to keep the Psycho Alchemy Society from suspecting me, how do I do it?”
”Hang the man upside down,” said Alger, who also had no experience in dealing with demigods, and could only speak with the deliberation of a mind that had been cultivated over a long period of time:
”Lock down Hwyn Lambeth’s whereabouts and strike after he’s touched someone else?”
”Lock down how?” “Justice,” Audrey asked the question herself, and gave her own answer, “from Miss ‘Judgement’ and Miss ‘Magician’. After seeing Hwyn Lambeth again, when he has just departed, recite the honorable name of Mr. ‘Fool’ and ask k to set his eyes on the demigod?”
Theoretically, my “true vision” above the gray mist is nearly 10 kilometers in radius, so as long as Hwyn Lambeth doesn’t “teleport”, I can determine his whereabouts and trajectory for a short period of time, and then return to the real world and just “travel” there. “Traveling to the real world… Well, I’ll need the assistance of divination to do that… but the problem is that the Fool himself is involved… …Klein, who wore the identity of the “world’s” Germaine Sparrow, hissed:
”Let me remind you of one thing… Miss ‘Judgement’ and ‘Magician’ mentioned Adam in the real world… The Psycho-Alchemy Society originated from the excavation of Hermes’ ruins… Hermes was a member of the ‘Dusk Hermits Society’… ‘, one of the founders of the ‘Dusk Hermit Society’ is Adam, and Mr. ‘Fool’ doesn’t want to directly fight against the ‘Dusk Hermit Society’ in this matter. ‘ as an enemy, and we’ll try not to be known even if we have to do something.”
The amount of information contained in this series of words made “Hanged Man” Alger, “Hermit” Gadelia and the others feel like they were undergoing a brainstorming session, and “Judgement” Hugh and “Magician” Gadelia had the feeling that they were undergoing a brainstorming session. Hugh “The Judge” and Forsythe “The Magician” were even more shocked.
It turns out that the organization is called “Dusk Hermit Society”…… Mr. “Fool” doesn’t want to be the enemy of “Dusk Hermit Society” in this matter. Mr. “Fool” did not want to make an enemy of the “Dusky Hermits” in this matter because K had just cooperated with “Angel of the Imagination” Adam to plan the matter of Ince Zangwill? I didn’t realize that the Psycho Alchemy Society was related to the Dusky Hermits……. Wait, Hermes? He’s still alive? He’s a member of the Dusk Hermits? Is it true that the members of this organization are all big shots that we can’t even imagine? “Inverted Man” Alger first glanced at “World” Germaine Sparrow, and then couldn’t help but look at “Hermit” Gadelia.
He realized that the latter was equally shocked and did not hide it.
”Is the Dusk Hermit Society …… the same old secretive organization that Emperor Rossel joined?” “The Hermits,” Gadelia asked as if talking to herself, as if seeking certainty.
”The World,” Germaine Sparrow gave the answer:
”Yes.
”After you return to reality, it would be best if you do not think back on this aspect, it can easily be perceived, and if you are unsure of yourselves, you can ask Ms. ‘Justice’ to do some mental work for you here.”
