Mystery: Undead don't die from passing fire

Chapter 113 Audrey: Follow my wink!Ember: Understood.

"Really."

Xio put the beautifully packaged cake on the table from the room, then sat down on the sofa with her arms crossed, and said dissatisfiedly, "It's a pity that I set aside a day to prepare for your birthday. I just made this cake several times in advance. I just made an appointment from Royal Violet Bakery."

Royal Violet Bakery, you can tell from the name that this is a shop that has been 'royal certified' by the royal family of Loen.

And this kind of shop that has been certified by the royal family usually has a very hot business.

If you want to order a cake from it, you have to be at least two months in advance.And the price is very expensive, even the average middle class can't afford it.

But what Xio didn't expect was that he meticulously prepared for Forsi's birthday several months in advance, but what he got in return was 'betrayal'.

"I'm doing it for you too."

Forsi looked at her aggrievedly, and said weakly.

Xio didn't save her face at all, and retorted mercilessly, "People always like to impose their will on others, and in the end they just call it: It's all for your own good."

"Is this also what Emperor Roselle said?"

Ember, who was sitting at the side watching the play, suddenly asked.

"You still say it!"

Forsi puffed up her face and muttered, "If it wasn't for you, how could things have turned into this?"

Xio said unhappily, "If it wasn't for Ember, wouldn't you plan to tell me for the rest of your life? Forsi, if you really do this, do you think I will feel at ease?"

"Even if I succeed in being promoted to Sequence 7 later, I will definitely regret it for the rest of my life!"

"So I know I was wrong!"

"It's useless to know you're wrong! Starting tomorrow, you have to seriously play the trick master!"

"Huh? You don't really want me to do acrobatics at the circus, do you??!"

"That's better than lying at home all day, anyway, no matter how much you lie down, your potion won't be digested. Besides, the acrobat is a clown, you are a master juggler, wouldn't it be good to do magic tricks?"

"But what if it's digested?"

Forsi muttered, "After all, we still have no money, don't we?"

"about this issue."

Ember looked at the two with some doubts, "Don't you know how to borrow money?"

"Borrow money?"

Xio and Forsi looked at each other, and at the same time cast their eyes on the embers.

"You mean, do you want to borrow it from you?"

Forsi sat up straight, and said enthusiastically, "How much can you lend us?"

"It's not impossible."

Ember pondered for two seconds, then nodded slightly.

He's not short of money anyway.

"It's not impossible? Then who are you talking about?"

Xio frowned slightly, and asked a little strangely.

"Miss Justice."

Ember didn't even think about it, "She will provide 'loan' services for Tarot Club members."

"justice?"

Fors blinked, "You admit that you are a lover?"

"When did I deny it?"

Ember asked back.

"What about Miss Justice? Is she Miss Audrey?"

Ember glanced at Xio who asked the question, and said, "I suggest you ask Zhengyi himself about this question."

"Ok."

Xio wasn't bothered, but after thinking about it, he asked seriously, "How much can Miss Justice borrow?"

"I suggest you ask Justice himself."

Ember repeated it, but added at the end, "But I guess the key to the problem is not how much Miss Justice can borrow, but how much you can borrow."

"..."

Forsi opened her mouth, hesitated to speak, but still wisely chose to remain silent.

If Miss Justice is really Miss Audrey.

Then she doesn't seem to be short of money at all.

Even if both of them need to advance to Sequence 7, the total cost will not exceed 6000 pounds.

For ordinary people, this amount of money is beyond their lifetime.

But for Miss Audrey, this may be her pocket money for a few months.

"If Miss Justice is willing to borrow money, that would be the best."

Xio breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of his heart, although he had to pay back the borrowed money.

But at least they don't have to worry about who gets promoted first.

As for the issue of repayment.

When they advance to Sequence 7 and have stronger strength, it will naturally become easier to pay back the money.

"By the way, Ember, there is something I forgot to tell you."

Fors suddenly opened her mouth to attract Ember's gaze, and asked in a low voice, "Do you remember Will Auceptin?"

"Who?"

Ember didn't react for a while.

Fors explained, "Well, it's the little boy I met during my first surgery when I went to Backlund Central Hospital."

"he and I……"

Fors tidied up her thoughts, and said with some hesitation, "I often dreamed about him before, and he kept telling me in his dreams that he was dead, and asked you not to trouble him any more."

"When?"

Ember was a little surprised, and asked.

"About early September."

Fore thought for a while and replied.

"Early September?"

Ember tapped the table lightly with her fingers, lost in thought.

At that time, he had just been involved in the world of painting, so it meant that he was entangled with Fors just as he walked away from the opponent?
"Do you remember the day of the surgery?"

Ember pondered for a moment, then asked.

"Tuesday, August 8."

Fors immediately replied without thinking.

It was from that day that he had a whole week of surgery to complete the potion digestion!
That day was the beginning of the most tiring week of her life.

So, she was especially impressed with this day!

"Where does he live?"

Ember thought for a while, then asked.

"I do not know."

Forsi shook her head, but Xio immediately replied, "North District, No. 66 Dalton Street."

"stop?!"

Forsi opened her eyes wide, "Didn't you promise that I would not investigate without authorization?"

"I didn't investigate on my own."

A cunning flashed in Xio's eyes, and he said with a smile, "I just found his address by accident."

"The devil believes you."

Forsi puffed up her face, you must be fooling fools with your rhetoric!
How could it be discovered by accident!

"How long did the dream last? How often?"

Ember thought for a while, then asked.

"From the beginning of September until September 9rd, the frequency is about once a week. Ever since I chanted Mister Fool's honorable name, I have never dreamed of him again. It was just a few days ago..."

Fors paused for a moment, and then said, "October 10th, six days ago, last Wednesday, a blood moon appeared at night, and I had to urgently ask Mister Fool for help."

"But before that, I seemed to see the shadow of Will Auceptin."

"He wants to hurt you?!"

Xio's expression was a little startled and angry, "Why have you never told me?"

"I'm afraid you're worried..."

Under Xio's glaring gaze, Forsi's voice became smaller and smaller.

"You won't worry me unless you tell me!"

"Okay, okay, it's my fault, am I okay?"

Forsi patted Xio's head and comforted her.

"Whatever his purpose is, I will visit him tomorrow."

Ember pondered for a moment, then said, "You try to go out as little as possible recently."

Ember always felt that Will Auceptin was trying to seduce him.

Originally, if he didn't do anything, he almost forgot his existence.

After all, he wasn't very experienced at first, and he was not bad in the age when the gods had not yet fallen.

But the other party took the initiative to find him, telling Ember not to come to him.

But in fact, there is no silver 300 taels here. Isn't this a typical refusal?

Since he invited so warmly, Ember couldn't refuse.

"oh oh."

Forsi nodded like a chick pecking rice, and said obediently, "I try not to go out, so can Kulala give it to me?"

"..."

Ember looked at Fors speechlessly, and took out the bell.

"Jingle bell~"

Amidst the ringing bells, the figures of the Kulala sisters quietly emerged.

"Hey hey hey~ My Kurala~ Long time no see~"

Xio pulled open the collar, allowing the shrunken Clararis to slip in, and Fors even started to go mad as soon as she hugged Culala.

Xio rolled her eyes and said in a bad mood, "You should at least wait until you finish eating the cake before going crazy?"

This was a cake that she had pre-ordered for a long time, and waited in line for more than two months before buying it!
Ember shook her head, not disturbing them.

Turn around and leave the house.

He can't rest yet because he still has a lot of work to do.

……

15 Minsk Street.

Klein sat at the table, lost in thought.

Just this morning, he went to visit the Russell Memorial Exhibition at the Kingdom Museum.This commemorative exhibition is sponsored by the Church of Steam and Machinery, exhibiting a large number of invention manuscripts and relics of Emperor Roselle.

And the reason why he came to visit this commemorative exhibition on a whim.It was because he had seen Roselle's diary presented by members of the Tarot Society. Although there were still a large number of grass fragments, a small part of them was of extremely high value.

For example:
"On January [-], I made the second card of blasphemy."

"Let me think, let me think, where should I hide it?"

"Well, I'm going to disguise it as a bookmark and put it in a very valuable book. If the recipient is not a predestined person, it will be hard to imagine that the most valuable book in the very valuable book is actually the A humble bookmark!"

"Yes, that's a good idea!"

Although this content is not long, it reveals a very important information——

That is Roselle once disguised a 'card of blasphemy' as a bookmark and stuck it in a certain book.

At today's commemorative exhibition, Klein discovered that many books had a bookmark sandwiched between them, and these bookmarks were of different shapes and shapes.Among them, one of the books successfully caught his attention, and it was the main object of his suspicion. It was the plagiarized, creative manuscript written by Emperor Roselle.

But because there are too many people at the exhibition during the day.

In order to avoid alerting the Church of Steam, Klein didn't dare to make a move.

But that doesn't mean he's giving up.

He didn't have a chance to verify whether the bookmark was a card of blasphemy, but he wasn't acting alone.

While his thoughts were spinning, Klein began to analyze the helpers he could find among the people he knew.

Gradually, he simply chose an object:
Miss Justice.

Klein exhaled, closed the curtains, rubbed his cheeks, and began to pray to himself:

"A fool who does not belong to this age;"

"The mysterious ruler above the gray mist;"

"The Yellow and Black King of Good Luck."

"I pray for some help;"

"Pray that someone will help me get to that bookmark tucked in Russell's creative manuscript;"

"Help me make small damage to it that is difficult to detect, and tell me how to react, during which you can silently recite the Hermes or ancient Hermes words corresponding to Pirate King."

"No matter who offers the help, even if there is no response, I am willing to give 500 pounds as a reward, which will be deducted from the unpaid 5000 pounds."

"If there is a response, I am willing to give more."

After doing all this, Klein waited for a while before entering above the gray mist, and saw the light curtain showing the picture of himself praying.

He had already done the divination, and sneaking into the Kingdom Museum at night to steal the bookmarks would be dangerous but not too high.

So the next thing is to find someone to help test whether the bookmark is true.

While analyzing, Klein quickly extracted his prayer information. At the same time, the mosaic thickened and increased, and his voice was adjusted to be slightly distorted. Then, he threw it into the illusory star symbolizing Miss Justice.

"I hope there will be no accidents."

Klein thought silently.

Just doing some small trials, there shouldn't be too much risk, right?

At the same time, it is located in the luxurious villa of Earl Hall's family in Queens.

Audrey was sitting in front of the dressing table, and she was thinking about how to quickly flip through and memorize Russell's diary without being suspected when she visited the Russell Memorial Exhibition in the evening.

Suddenly, her surroundings became hazy, and boundless gray and white mist gushed out.

In the middle of the gray mist, the figure of "The Fool" stands tall, and he is listening to the prayer of a man who is so blurred that he can't see clearly.

And when Audrey heard those prayers, she blinked.

After a little hesitation, she chose to accept. Anyway, she happened to be going to visit the Russell Memorial Exhibition today.

As for what to do with some minor disruption...

Audrey was thinking, her eyes swept across the utensils on the dressing table without focus, and suddenly stopped on the open jewelry box, and stopped on a pair of gemstone earrings decorated with fine needles.

The corners of her mouth turned up a little bit, her eyebrows and eyes were slightly bent, and she said to herself:
"Well, although I can complete the task alone."

"But to be on the safe side, it's best to have someone assist."

"Susie just happened to..."

"Miss, are you in there?"

Just as her mind was wandering, Audrey heard someone knocking on the door, and a somewhat distorted voice from outside the corridor.

From the previous footsteps and the corresponding rhythm, she recognized it as her personal maid Anne.

"I'm here, come in."

Audrey looked in the mirror, cleaned up her expression, smoothed her hair, and straightened her back.

"click~"

Annie pushed open the door and said with a smile, "Miss, I have some good news for you."

"Eh? What good news?"

Audrey blinked curiously like a young lady who didn't know much about the world.

Anne smiled and said, "Viscount Black is downstairs, and Lady Caitlin is entertaining him downstairs."

After a pause, Annie blinked at Audrey, "He seems to have come here specially to find Miss."

"Eh?"

Audrey immediately revealed a voice of surprise, her pretty face flushed a little, as if she was a little flustered, "I, I'll put on my makeup first, I'll get off right away."

"Okay, miss."

A look of narrowness flashed in Annie's eyes, and she bowed slightly and exited the room.

What Annie didn't know was that just after she closed the door to block her view, Audrey's expression returned to normal in a very short time.

"Has Mr. Lover returned?"

"Well~, he and Mr. Alger were less than two days away from Pritz Harbor during the last Tarot meeting."

"Calculating the time, Mr. Lover arrived at Pritz Harbor almost exactly this morning."

The girl fiddled with her soft blond hair, repeatedly wrapped the hair around her fingers and quickly let it go, her fair and beautiful face was full of expressions of serious thinking.

It's just that although the face is calm, the girl's mood is a bit complicated and entangled.

At the beginning, her father noticed the connection between her and Ember.

In order not to expose the existence of the Tarot Society, she chose to pretend to be a young girl in love.

This can logically conceal the existence of the Tarot Society.

At the same time, it can also effectively explain her relationship with Ember.

And as it turned out, my father had no doubts about their relationship.

She even invited Ember to be her tutor.

Well, although this governess is not at all competent, and has not attended a few days in total so far.

However, considering Ember's flexible working system in the Church of Evernight, he can already be called competent on his side.

now back to
The only problem is that.

"How should I go to see my mother?"

"Well, I don't want to be too enthusiastic."

"But it doesn't matter if you're too nonchalant.

"Hmm~"

Audrey fell into deep thought.

But soon she won't need to worry about it anymore.

Because, there were footsteps outside the door again.

"Not Anne."

Audrey heard the sound and rhythm of the footsteps outside the door, and felt very familiar, but couldn't match it with a certain servant for a while.

Until she heard a knock on the door.

"May I come inside?"

"Mr. Lover."

The girl's expression was a little surprised, she patted her face, and said softly, "Please come in."

"click~"

Ember pushed the door open, and quickly closed the door after entering the room.

Through the crack of the door, Audrey also saw Susie lying on the ground and winking at herself.

"..."

Audrey was speechless, Susie, what are you doing, Susie!

Audrey sighed helplessly in her heart, Susie had been messing around with Annie and the others all day, and she had learned badly.

Audrey opened her mouth, just about to say hello.

But suddenly heard the sound of small footsteps coming from outside the door——

It's like someone is walking on padded feet, and it's not just one person.

"You, how did you come up?"

Audrey's expression moved slightly, a blush appeared on her cheeks, and she was so nervous that her voice stuttered.

Ember shrugged, "Mrs. Caitlin asked me to come up and have a chat with you."

"This, so...then...then when did you come back?"

"I just arrived at Pritz Harbor in the morning, and I took the steam train back to Backlund at two o'clock in the afternoon."

"Hmm~"

Audrey lowered her head, as if she didn't know what to say next. After a while, she blushed and said, "Ash, you... can you tell me about your experience at sea during this time?"

"of course can."

Ember nodded with a smile, pretended to ponder for a while, and half-fabricated and half-stitched about the experience of 'going to sea'.

"Well, where should I start? I set off from Pritz Harbor, and the first stop was Damir Island..."

Heard conversations from inside the house.

Not long after, the voice of a woman covering her mouth and giggling faintly came from outside the door.

After a while, the sound of footsteps came from outside the door, gradually drifting away.

It seemed that the woman had left the corridor contentedly.

"Really."

Audrey's expression returned to normal in an instant, and she said in distress, "Why is even mom like this."

She recognized the footsteps as Lady Catelyn's, and even the sniggering as hers.

But why would a mother want to see her daughter's jokes!
"It's also because they care about you, isn't it?"

Ember shrugged and sat down on the chair beside her.

Audrey sighed softly with a helpless expression.

Really.

If I had known earlier, I would have pretended to have other relationships. If things continue like this, I'm afraid it will be very difficult to end in the end.

Moreover, fortunately, Dad is not at home, otherwise the situation will only become more complicated.

but.

The arrival of embers doesn't seem like such a bad thing either.

"Ugh, embers."

Audrey collected her thoughts, and said softly, "Just now, Mister Fool's family sent me a commission. I hope that I can make some small, imperceptible stickers on a certain bookmark in Emperor Roselle's commemorative exhibition. destroy."

After thinking about it, Audrey said again, "That bookmark seems to contain some very important secrets. Mister Fool's family attaches great importance to it, so much so that they offered an unlimited price."

"I accepted the commission, but it's still a bit difficult for me to be unnoticed by myself. So..."

Audrey blinked, "Ember, are you coming?"

"can."

Ember was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, she nodded lightly,

Although he had no interest in Roselle's grass diary.

But there is nothing to do around him, and it is not impossible to take a walk with Audrey.

Ember thought for a while, then asked, "How is your mind reader potion digested?"

"A little bit."

The corners of Audrey's mouth curled up slightly, her smile was clear, and she said in a brisk tone, "I guess I should be able to complete the digestion before the end of the month, and by then I can become a mid-sequence Extraordinary."

At the beginning of July, she became a Beyonder of the Spectator Path.

By the end of August, she had been promoted to mind reader.

And now it has only been more than a month, and she will be able to completely digest the potion immediately.

And most importantly, she has all the potions she needs to be promoted to 'psych doctor'.

You can be promoted immediately after the potion is digested.

In less than four months, from an ordinary person to a Sequence 7 mid-sequence Extraordinary.

This speed is undoubtedly unimaginable for ordinary people!

Even with the blessing of acting, her speed is definitely among the fastest.

Although because of the audience channel, she has habitually concealed her emotions.

But that doesn't mean her heart doesn't jump with joy and pride, it just doesn't show it often.

"ember."

Audrey blinked at Ember, and said slyly, "I think you should be able to prepare the potion formula for Sequence 6 for me in advance, and I want to collect the main materials in advance. Well, it's best to be the same as these few times. The collection of main materials can be completed before the potion is digested."

The potion formula for Sequence 7 costs 800 pounds, and she spent a total of 2300 pounds including various materials.

And the Sequence 6 will only be more expensive.

Although theoretically the potion formula of Sequence 6 only needs less than 1600 pounds.

But the closer to the higher sequence, the less the potion formula circulated.

This also led to a very serious price premium for potion formulas above the middle rank.

According to the market price, the potion formula of Sequence 6 may even be as high as 3000 pounds!
And at the level of Sequence 6, the price of the main materials needed to configure potions is no less than 2000 pounds.

In other words, if you want to complete the promotion, you need to spend at least 7000 pounds in total!
Even for Audrey, this is not a small burden——

Because this is equivalent to her pocket money for half a year.

Especially in the situation where she still needs to pay Ember a monthly 'rental fee' for the sacrificial ring, it is even more stretched.

However, this is actually not a big problem.

After all, although she has no money, her father, Earl Hall, is rich!

A mere £7000 is less than one percent of the Hall family's annual income.

It's just a small amount of money!
Audrey thought happily.

"no problem."

Ember nodded slightly, and finally poured cold water on Audrey, "However, most of the sequence pathways owned by the Evernight Goddess Church are only up to Sequence 5. After all, all major forces are extremely strict about the secrecy of high-sequence potion formulas. , The church is not omnipotent. Therefore, you can only find the potion formula above Sequence 4 by yourself."

"Sequence 5."

Audrey pursed her lips, feeling a little complicated.

A few months ago, she was an ordinary noble girl full of longing for the extraordinary world.

But now she has reached the threshold of a mid-sequence Extraordinary.

Even the demigod, who was once so high and could only look up to, seemed to be at his fingertips.

You must know that even in the Orthodox Church, demigods are the hottest high-level combat power!

"That's not something I should be thinking about right now."

Audrey shook her head, her tone was still brisk, and said with a smile, "I am still a long way from becoming a demigod in Sequence 4, not to mention that this can't be achieved overnight, can it?"

Low ranks are promoted quickly, but that doesn't mean the same is true for mid and high ranks.

Now it only takes less than two months to digest the potion, but in the middle sequence, it may be at least half a year.

Calculated in that way, there is still at least one year before she becomes Sequence 5.

She doesn't need to think about such long-term things.

not to mention.

Isn't this the almighty Mister Fool?

With Mister Fool around, we can exchange the accumulated credits for potion formulas at that time, right?

"Ah!"

At No. 15 Minsk Street, Klein touched his nose and looked around vigilantly.

Could it be that some villain wants to harm me?

……

Six pm.

The Kingdom Museum sees off its last visitors.

But soon, they ushered in a new batch of visitors——

A visitor group composed of noble people such as the lady of the earl's family, the children of the duke's family, and the young viscount.

Of course, these noble sons and daughters of noble status would not crowd together with ordinary people to visit the exhibition, so they chose to come after the Kingdom Museum closed and were received by special personnel.

And Audrey and Ember were among them.

"In the gloom of Backlund, she is like the bright sun."

At this time, Max Livermores, the captain of the "Heart of the Machine" west team who was in charge of guarding Nianzhan, was looking at the blond girl on the side with admiration.

It's just that when his eyes touched the young man beside the girl, he couldn't help feeling a little heartbroken.

"It's a pity, the pearl is covered in dust!"

At this time, Audrey was like a noble lady who showed great curiosity about everything in the outside world, looking at the toilets inlaid with gold leaf and carved with complicated patterns with great interest.

"Is this the first flush toilet in the modern sense?"

"Yes, I personally think that this is one of Russell's outstanding contributions to human civilization. It and its supporting sewer project have changed the phenomenon that Trier's streets are full of, oh, the streets are full of dirty things. "

The commentator originally wanted to say the word "shit", but when he looked at the girl in front of him, he felt that he couldn't lose his elegant posture.

Viscount Glaint laughed beside him and said:
"Why are you so curious about this? No matter how old it is, it's still just a toilet."

The rest of the noble children who had a good friendship with them laughed out loud.

"No, Greint, you don't understand, this is the glory of human civilization."

Audrey responded with a slight smile, and made a vomiting expression in her heart.

If it wasn't for fulfilling the commission of Mister Fool's family, I wouldn't want to do this either.

She sighed helplessly.

Although there are still embers, Audrey has already thought about the division of labor between the two parties before coming here.

The other party will only be responsible for covering for him——

Moreover, the image of Ember is indeed not suitable for playing an ignorant girl.

Audrey imagined that scene in her heart, and couldn't help laughing.

"Pfft~"

"Ok?"

Ember cast a puzzled look, which immediately made Audrey look away as if guilty, and walked to the other exhibits pretending to be curious.

soon.

A group of people entered the exhibition hall with Roselle's diary under the guidance of the guide.

Audrey showed a strong interest as always, and made a request to appreciate something carefully in each exhibition hall, and she was basically satisfied.

The docent could neither refuse the beautiful maiden's request nor her request.

Because she is the most dazzling gem in Backlund and the daughter of Earl Hall.

As long as she didn't want to take all these things home, no one would refuse her request.

Ember also glanced at a certain diary in the exhibition hall.

"May 5st, Mrs. Alice is very nice!"

"May 5, well, her daughter is not bad."

"May 5th, tsk, Mrs. Alice actually has a little granddaughter with the same name as her. But for the sake of distinction, let's call it Little Alice. I can't tell, Little Alice is 24 years old, but her figure is still the same She is so petite and cute. Mrs. Alice is not bad either, she doesn't look like someone who is almost 19 years old, she looks like she is in her twenties at most."

"On May 5, little Alice stepped on me wearing white silk yesterday, AWSL!"

"Well, I found that I'm a little obsessed with little Alice. Beth is really nice."

"On May 5, Little Alice's husband came to visit unexpectedly, which surprised me. He asked me if I knew where Little Alice was. Hehe, how did he know that Little Alice was hiding when he asked this question? In my arms, only a quilt away from him?"

"June 6th, I'm tired, a little tired. Although Baisi is good, she will still get tired after a long time. But today little Alice came again, and brought one of her sisters, another Baisi!"

"AWSL! Baisi will never get tired! Baisi is forever God!"

"On June 6, Mrs. Alice came to the door suddenly angrily, blaming me for being obsessed with her granddaughter."

Ember withdrew her gaze expressionlessly, and followed the team that was about to go to other exhibition halls.

at last.

Stopping and stopping along the way, they came to the restored Roselle's former study.

And when the narrator introduced the 'creative manuscript', the girl spoke with bright eyes:

"Can I flip through it? I want to see what the great inventor Russell's manuscript looks like and what wonderful ideas it contains."

"No problem, beautiful Miss Hall, respected Viscount Glaint, you can all look through, heh,
If one of you is a devout member of the church, you can even apply for a rubbing copy. "

The narrator replied according to Max's hint.

As a devout follower of the goddess, Audrey could only respond with a slight smile, and it was inconvenient to speak.

At the same time, she pretended to brush her hair, stretched out her palm to touch her right ear, and quietly took off the earring.

Immediately afterwards, the glass covering the desk was opened. Audrey took a step forward, pressed the manuscript, pulled out the bookmark pretending to be inadvertent, and flipped a page at random.

"Snapped!"

Suddenly, there was a soft sound.

There seemed to be someone's exclamation coming from the ear, which attracted the eyes of all the people around.

Looking sideways, he realized that it was Ember who accidentally swept the ink bottle off the table.

Seeing the ink bottle fall to the ground, everyone's hearts were in their throats.

But at the moment when the ink bottle was about to touch the ground and be smashed, Ember quickly caught it.

Immediately, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sorry for my oversight."

Ember put the ink bottle back on the table, apologizing.

"No, it doesn't matter."

The guide breathed a sigh of relief, and finally warned, "Please be careful, especially when handling items that are easily damaged."

"Really, why would Miss Audrey fall in love with such a frizzy kid?"

Max frowned, a little dissatisfied in his heart.

But in view of the status of the other party's noble son, and he didn't really damage the items, it's not easy for him to come forward and reprimand him.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Audrey, who had finished testing, dropped the earrings in her hand on the ground, then turned her head and said:
"Sorry, my earring fell off."

The maid hurriedly approached, picked up the earrings, and helped her put them on.

The episode passed in a flash, and everyone's attention returned to the manuscript.

"Why are you so careless?"

Audrey walked to Ember's side, and said with a bit of complaint.

"My fault."

Ember raised her hands high, and said helplessly, "It was placed on the edge, and I almost dropped it on the ground if I didn't pay attention. But it doesn't matter, right? It's just an ink bottle, how much is it worth?"

"That's more than just an inkwell!"

Audrey seemed a little angry, and said angrily, "You don't understand at all! It's the relic of Emperor Roselle, it's..."

"It is the glory of human civilization."

Ember took the words, with a nonchalant expression on her face, "I understand, I understand."

Audrey puffed up her face and stared at him angrily.

This scene immediately made the people around a little gloated.

Not only those noble children, but also the guard Max.

After all, no one wants Backlund's most dazzling gemstone to be tricked into someone's hands just like that.

Even if you want to cheat, you should let them cheat!
It's okay to break up, it's best to break up on the spot!
Max thought maliciously.

Unfortunately.

Audrey turned her back to them, so no one saw the subtle hint in the girl's eyes.

Otherwise, they should understand that all this is acting.

soon.

Many of the aristocratic children who came to visit showed interest in the manuscript, stepped forward to read it one after another, and even exclaimed from time to time——

They may not be really interested, but more simply hope to cater to Backlund's most dazzling gem.

But Audrey, who was still on the sidelines, showed a faint smile, and glanced at the embers beside her from time to time.

It's like saying to him, 'Look, it's not me who's wrong, it's your lack of taste! '

Ember walked towards the booth without saying a word, as if she was a little irritated.

This made Max vigilant, for fear that he would tear up the manuscript in a rage, but——

It would be nice if that was the case.

There was a sneer on the corner of Max's mouth.

He will stop the other party and teach the other party a lesson that will never be forgotten.

At the same time, let Miss Audrey realize that she chose the wrong person!

This is just another dandy who is rich and jaded.

however.

To his disappointment, Ember showed no signs of wanting to rip violently.

He just flipped through it casually for a while, then threw the manuscript back to the booth very casually, and said lightly:
"generally!"

"Ah."

Max laughed angrily, but he also knew the identity of the security guard he was pretending to be now, and he was not qualified to reprimand him.

So I just kept a cold face and stepped forward to confirm it.

Finding that the bookmark of the manuscript had exposed traces, he stuffed the bookmark back and closed the glass cover again.

On the other side, as expected, Miss Audrey began to sulk at Ember again.

Let Ember talk to him and ignore him.

This made Max feel a little comforted.

Max nodded slightly towards the commentator without any trace.

The explainer also quickly understood, and immediately led a group of people out of the study and walked towards other exhibition halls.

In the next exhibition hall, Miss Audrey still showed great interest.

Ember next to her seemed to want to redeem herself, and echoed from time to time, but every time she only got a soft snort from Miss Audrey.

Until they left the museum, the relationship between the two seemed to remain rigid.

Even the maid was a little worried.

"Who sent you up here?"

Audrey boarded the carriage, looked at the embers who were also about to board the carriage, and said dissatisfied.

"You can't let me go back, can you?"

Ember shrugged, and cheekily pushed forward.

And Audrey just puffed up her face, but she didn't object again.

This scene undoubtedly made the people who saw it secretly curse shamelessly, but in fact, everyone was jealous to death.

Especially Max, he has been waiting for Miss Audrey's rejection.

As long as Miss Audrey refuses, he will rush forward and pull that kid off the horse.

But unfortunately, he didn't wait for this opportunity.

It was already evening at this time, Backlund, where it was difficult to see the sun, was already in darkness, and the gas street lamps were turned on one after another.

The carriage drove silently on the street, heading north to Queens.

And the two people in the carriage also seemed to be having a conflict, and they didn't say a word along the way.

In the end, it was Ember who took the initiative to bow her head and admit her mistake, and managed to calm Audrey down.

When returning to Hall's villa, Ember got out of the car first.

He reached out his hand to the girl in the car.

"uh-huh?"

Audrey raised her snow-white neck, deliberately ignored him, and got out of the car from the other side led by the maid.

Earl Hall also returned home at this time, and was standing at the door with Caitlin at this time.

He looked at the two of them with his aunt smiling.

They had already learned from the maid that the two had had a conflict, but they didn't take it seriously.

Young people, it's normal to have a little temper with each other.

Just be comforted.

Ember watched Audrey return home, and said with a slightly embarrassed expression, "Count, Madam Caitlin, I will take my leave first."

"Not urgent."

Earl Hall smiled and said, "Dinner is already being prepared, let's go back after dinner. Also,"

Earl Hall gave Ember a look, and said in the tone of someone who came here, "Girls are meant to be coaxed, go up and have a good talk with Audrey."

Ember touched his nose, but did not insist on refusing.

As if there was only one excuse missing, he turned and climbed the stairs.

Under the guidance of the maid, they entered the room that Audrey deliberately left open.

The maids outside the corridor smiled lightly, as if they could see that their young lady had a knife mouth and a bean curd heart.

As soon as she entered the room, Audrey still looked sullen.

When Ember closed the door, Audrey's expression immediately became calm, and instead she asked curiously,

"How about it?"

"very smooth."

Ember nodded, and said something that made Audrey a little confused.

Then, she saw an extra sticky note in Ember's palm, and her eyes were wide open.

She looked at Ember, and Ember looked at her, looking at each other speechlessly.
