Mystery: Undead don't die from passing fire

Chapter 160 At this moment, the curtain rises

Queens, in the luxury villa of Earl Hall's family.

Audrey stood in front of the full-length mirror, looking at herself in a daze, with a worried expression.

But at this moment, she suddenly heard a familiar voice behind her.

"Audrey, what are you worried about?"

Through the mirror, Audrey saw embers that appeared with a burst of blue light.And Audrey was not surprised by Ember's sudden appearance, but felt a little relieved from the bottom of her heart, because this was what she asked for—the so-called old place refers to her home, after all, they are rarely in other places. place to meet.

"ember,"

Audrey considered the words and asked, "What do you think about Mister Fool's reminder?"

Ember said succinctly:
"It has nothing to do with the ceremony planned by the royal family."

"I think so too."

Audrey nodded, and said softly, "Mr. Fool knows what the royal family is going to do, and he also knows your plan. If he wants to remind other members about this matter, the reminder should be more broad." Augustus ’, rather than specific to Edessaac Augustus and personally.”

"But Prince Edsack is a member of the royal family, so what happened to him must be related to the royal family's plans."

After hearing Audrey's analysis, Ember pondered and asked:
"What impression do you have of Edsaac?"

"I never liked him."

The girl frowned slightly, and analyzed seriously, "He has pursued me for a long time before. At the ball a few months ago, he enthusiastically stopped me to talk about some boring topics and play with self-righteous clumsy humor. But at that In the next few days, his attitude became quite cold, and he even deliberately avoided me, which may have something to do with what happened to Ed Sack."

After a pause, Audrey asked lately, "Ember, what do you think?"

There are many reasons why Audrey doesn't like Edsaac, the most important reason is that as a follower of the 'Evernight Goddess', she cannot accept the Augustus who have believed in the 'Lord of Storms' for generations.Because this means that their arrogance, arrogance, contempt, and extremeness towards women have penetrated into each other's bones, and it is difficult to make changes, and this is the most intolerable thing for Audrey.

So it seems that she is quite repulsed and even a little disgusted with Edsack's pursuit and hospitality.And the change in Prince Edesak's attitude also made Audrey feel a little strange, because it was too abrupt and there was no warning at all!
After listening to Audrey's analysis, Ember slowly said:

"Your analysis is very reasonable. Edsaac is obviously not Nantong. He was still pursuing fiercely two days ago, but he became extremely indifferent when we met again. He dismissed the most dazzling gem in Backlund. This is completely inconsistent. Common sense."

Audrey rolled her eyes and said angrily:

"I was serious."

"I'm serious too."

Ember didn't change his face, but said very seriously:

"Edesaker is obviously not the kind of person who is still in the mood for beauty. His attitude towards you has changed from courteous pursuit to extreme indifference in just a few days. There is only one possibility, that is, he already has better candidates, and deliberately keep a distance from you for fear of being misunderstood by the other party.”

"A better candidate?"

Audrey frowned slightly, which could make Edsack feel that she was a better candidate than her, at least not inferior to her in appearance, or even surpassed her.But the aristocratic circle in Backlund is not small or big. After so many years of social season, Audrey, a nobleman in Backlund, basically knows each other.

And she can be rated as the most dazzling gem in Backlund, which in itself already shows her excellence.At least among her peers, there would be no one more beautiful than her in the aristocratic circle.This is not arrogance, but fact.Although Audrey is not proud of this, she cannot ignore objective facts.

Moreover, in recent months, there has been no news that Prince Edesak is in love with any noble lady—you must know that in the past, even if the other party said a few more words when chatting with him, sometimes people would relish.If Edessaq is in love with some noble lady, it is impossible that there will be no rumors, unless...

Audrey murmured in a low voice:

"Unless the better candidate in Edsack's mind is not a nobleman, but a commoner, that's why he dare not reveal any information."

Of course, Audrey would be a little curious about the candidate who was better than herself in Edsack's eyes.But she still finds it a bit strange, because a commoner is destined not to be a princess, and only nobles can become a princess.No matter how good-looking the other party is, he will only be one of the concubines in the end, which is not enough to make Edesak give up pursuing himself for her.

After all, Edesaker is obviously not an infatuated person, just like Audrey's impression of the Augustus - the arrogance of the people of this family towards women is deeply rooted in their bones, and it is impossible to make changes for an ordinary woman. No matter how beautiful she is.Unless the woman itself has other 'magic'.

For example, Audrey, if Edsack really decides to pursue her, he will probably give up contact with other women because of this.But this is not because of how outstanding Audrey's looks are, not because she is the most dazzling gem in Backlund, but simply because her father is Earl Hall, and because of the power and wealth her father possesses!

Even if Edsack would give up his pursuit of other women, it was only to show his wholeheartedness to Audrey, so as to win Earl Hall's support, nothing more.

And for a commoner woman, without power and wealth, her appearance alone is not enough to make Edesak die.As for the change of Edesak right now, there is only another possibility...

"Extraordinary ability."

Ember tapped the table lightly with her fingers, and said slowly, "The royal family has been cooperating with the 'Witch Church', and a witch can completely make Edsaac give up on her!"

Audrey obviously thought of this, but she still frowned and asked:
"Can't it be because of love?"

Ember thought for a while, nodded slightly and said:
"It's also possible, but I still think the possibility of extraordinary ability is higher."

Audrey nodded silently, acquiescing to Ember's guess.Desperate for love, such a person must exist, just like her.But Edsack, or the Augustus, it is impossible to have such a person. Their arrogance towards women is deeply rooted in their bones, and they will not believe in the so-called love at all!

So just like Ember said, the possibility of extraordinary ability is indeed higher.

Even though she had already guessed part of the information, the girl still frowned, puzzled and said:
"But it still can't explain what will happen to him? The Church of the Witch and the royal family have a cooperative relationship. He...they will never harm Edsaac. The royal family will not allow this kind of thing to happen."

Ember calmly shook her head, and said slowly:

"That's not necessarily the case. Without the acquiescence of the royal family, would the Witch Church dare to let the witch tempt Edsaac? Being able to be tempted by the witch already shows that Edsaac is already an abandoned child. The only problem is, Where is this abandoned child going to be used?"

Audrey frowned, thinking silently in her heart:
"Dad and Hibbert should know more, you can ask them when they come back at night."

15 Minsk Street, Jorwood District.

After finishing the Tarot session, Klein went down to the first floor and sat in the living room, feeling the constant warmth from the fireplace.He swayed quietly in the easy chair, not reading newspapers, flipping through magazines, or reading books.It was all so peaceful and silent until the doorbell jingled.

Klein, who was wearing a home shirt and a cashmere vest, got up and walked outside, and found that the visitor was somewhat unexpected. He opened the door and let out a chuckle:
"Good afternoon, Emlyn, shouldn't you be helping out at the Harvest Church at this time?"

The person who came was the handsome vampire Emlyn White, whose hair was brushed back obliquely.Hearing Klein's greeting, Emlyn's originally haughty expression froze, and he recovered with difficulty.

"I have something I want to consult with you, Sherlock, Moriarty, detective!" Emlyn spit out word by word.

After inviting him into the living room, Klein returned to the easy chair and asked with a smile:

"What's the matter? The consultation fee is 1 pound, but it cannot exceed 1 hour."

Emlyn White didn't pay attention to his words, and said thoughtfully:

A big man asked me to do something... Although that thing can help me solve hidden dangers, it also contains high risks.I don't have any friends, and I'm afraid that my parents will worry about it, but you are a well-informed Extraordinary detective... What advice do you have?Reject, or accept? "

Solve hidden dangers?Clear psychological hints?Klein thought about it and said:

"With only the word 'thing', I can't give any advice."

Emlyn White was silent for a few seconds, gritted his teeth, and said in a low voice:
"It's related to that fool."

"Huh?" Klein almost raised his hand and scratched his ear.
-
In the evening, Earl Hall and Hibbert returned home one after another. The whole family gathered in front of the long dining table in the dining room. The sumptuous dinner shone attractively under the light of many candles.

Audrey cut a piece of steak and asked curiously without concealing:

"Dad, what happened to Prince Edsac recently?"

Earl Hall's knife and fork stopped, raised his eyebrows and said:

"What did you hear?"

Audrey, who read out the information she wanted from her father's reaction, responded with a smile:

"Some rumors that seem to be true?"

Earl Hall rubbed his forehead and said:

"It's not a serious matter. Audrey, I know what you think, so I don't need to hide it from you. This involves a relatively common royal family scandal. Simply put, Prince Edsac fell in love with a commoner woman This led to the death of a noble descendant, and the royal family blocked the spread of the matter, not wanting to cause too much impact."

Audrey felt terrified in her heart, feeling a chill all over her body:

"It's the same as Ember's guess! That commoner woman is probably a witch! There must be a bigger conspiracy hidden behind this!"

Audrey thought about it and said:

"My impression of Prince Edesak is not such a person, and rumors have spread that what they really want to cover up may not be this matter."

"Perhaps not?" Earl Hall chewed on this sentence, his brows furrowed unconsciously.

Audrey stopped in moderation and steered the topic in another direction without any trace. Her eyes showed a hint of bewilderment and confusion, and asked:

"Didn't Alfred say he would come back half a month ago? Why is there no news yet?"

"It's a good thing."

Earl Hall suddenly relaxed, and said with a smile, "Alfred was transferred by the royal family to perform some confidential missions. After this mission is over, he can get huge benefits. For example, a hereditary title of at least a viscount!"

"Viscount."

Hearing this, Hibbert paused the action of cutting the steak, with a look of obvious envy in his eyes.Although he could lie down and inherit the title of Earl, Alfred's achievements made him extremely envious.Because according to this trend, Alfred will become an earl sooner or later, even a marquis is not out of the question!
Audrey Dai frowned, because her intuition was very wrong!Obviously, when father and mother secretly discussed this matter a few days ago, they were still worried about Alfred's safety, and even made it clear that they did not want to get too involved with the royal family.And in order not to get her and Hibbert involved, he didn't even disclose the news to them, in order to save them from possible future changes.

But now, his attitude suddenly took a 180-degree turn.For Alfred's participation in the secret mission of the royal family, he was not worried but happy, which undoubtedly made Audrey smell something unusual!
In particular, the possibility of Edsaac being influenced by the witch made Audrey instinctively think that the change in Earl Hall's attitude may also be affected by extraordinary power!And to influence Earl Hall, who is just an ordinary person, he doesn't even need a strong extraordinary ability, even Audrey herself can do it.As a psychiatrist, she can use psychological suggestion to hypnotize Earl Hall, who is just an ordinary person, without knowing it!
Of course she would not do such a thing to her father, but what about the royal family? !The royal family has Hvin Bilans, a suspected demigod of the audience channel!
Audrey suddenly frowned, and whispered with some complaints:

"Then, isn't Alfred late for the New Year's party?"

This is in line with the character of a somewhat willful noble lady, and will not arouse anyone's suspicion.

The Countess reassured:
"Audrey, think on the bright side..."

Before she finished speaking, Earl Hall interrupted her, frowning and said:

"Audrey, you are almost an adult, and you are no longer a willful child. How can you be so ignorant? This matter concerns the future of Alfred and the entire Hall family. How can it be ignored by a New Year's party?" hold up?"

As soon as the words fell, the Earl's family's eyes were all focused on Earl Hall, and there was some surprise in their eyes.Now not only Audrey, but even the Countess and Hibbert felt incredible.

Audrey pursed her lips tightly and lowered her head. She looked like a little girl who was being scolded and felt aggrieved, so as to hide the tension and fear in her heart. If she just suspected that Earl Hall was affected by the extraordinary ability, now she is completely verified!

"If it is a normal father, it is impossible to say such a thing! He will comfort himself like his mother, instead of putting on an unreasonable posture to scold him. Something has affected Dad, so that He puts the 'secret mission' that Alfred is carrying out first, and does not allow anyone or anything to contradict it!"

Audrey is very familiar with this ability, because it is basically the psychological hint of the audience path!
