Mystery: Undead don't die from passing fire

Chapter 23 The Lover of Justice

"Mr. Black."

Audrey sat down beside the embers, and introduced herself generously, "My name is Audrey Hall."

The previous discovery made Audrey more and more sure of her guess.

There is a great possibility that this gentleman is a 'lover'.

This made Audrey both excited and nervous. What excited her was that she met the members of the Tarot Society so soon in reality.

And the nervousness was also because of this, because she didn't know what Ember's identity was.

As an audience member, she actually knew that she shouldn't rush forward to say hello.

This would break her identity as an audience and put her at the center of the 'stage'.

But the girl's strong curiosity still drove her forward.

By the time she realized all this, it was too late.

However, judging from Ember's understanding of the Church of Evernight in the previous Tarot Society, he should be a Beyonder affiliated to Church of Evernight.

Even if not, his relationship with the Church of Evernight must be extraordinary.

After all, he was able to get the potion formula from the Church of Evernight through 'relationship'.

"Hello, Miss Hall."

Ember looked the girl up and down, nodded slightly, and asked very politely, "Is there anything I can do for you?"

He recognized the girl who had been watching him secretly at the Jockey Club last time.

"No, I'm just curious."

Audrey pointed to the ring on Ember's hand, and asked curiously, "I want to know the origin of these rings, um~, or do they have any special meaning?"

"terribly sorry."

After hearing Audrey's question, Ember showed an apologetic expression, "Actually, I don't know much about these rings, after all, I'm just a beginner in this research."

"Then, would Mr. Black mind explaining it to me?"

Audrey showed a sweet smile, and there was even a hint of teasing and cunning in her eyes.

At this moment, she was almost sure that Blake was the lover!
Because the tone and voice of the two people are almost exactly the same.

"Mr. Lover is still as humble as ever."

Audrey thought to herself.

"What do you want to know?"

Ember pondered for a moment, then asked with open palms.

"Well, like this one."

Audrey pointed to the ring with a cat image on her little finger with great interest.

"Silver cat ring."

Ember slowly said, "A silver ring made in the image of a leaping cat. In the age of gods, or in the age when gods still walked on the earth, it is said that there was an old cat who could speak human language and had the voice of an old woman. An undead cat like a phantom."

"Eh?"

Audrey, who had waited for a long time before Ember could continue, blinked.

and then?What happened to the immortal cat?
She thought this was the beginning of the story, but the beginning was the end?
"Like I said."

Ember met the girl with a puzzled expression, "I also know very little about it."

"What about these two?"

Audrey puffed up her face, she didn't believe Ember's words.

She only thought that Ember had only half-spoken on purpose, so she pointed at the two snake-shaped rings.

"Golden Snake Ring of Greed, Silver Snake Ring of Greed."

"The snake is a degenerated dragon, and a gold ring made in the image of a snake.

Snakes can swallow prey larger than themselves and are known to be extremely voracious creatures.

Since I am dissatisfied with the shackles attached to my body, sometimes I have to make up for it by satisfying my greed. "

Seeing that Ember only spoke halfway again, Audrey's cheeks puffed up more obviously to show her protest against Ember.

Why do you only speak half of what you say every time!

"So."

Audrey changed the subject and pointed to another ring, and asked another way, "What about it, what does it do?"

It was a ring with complicated hollow patterns, because it was hollow and without any decorative protrusions, so it looked the most ordinary——

Or rather, cheap.

"Sun Princess ring, slowly recovering blood...well, the injury."

"Slow recovery..."

Audrey was taken aback suddenly.

She's already aware of the problem.

Although I have already determined that 'Ash Black' is the 'lover'.

However, in the eyes of the other party, she should be just a curious noble lady who likes to mess around.

That being the case, why did he really introduce this ring so solemnly?
Just thinking about it, Audrey suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

In the next second, she saw Ember asking calmly.

"Any more questions, Miss Justice."

His voice was not loud, just enough for Audrey to hear.

But this also shocked Audrey. Originally, she wanted to tease Ember, but her attempt to pretend to be the image of "the eldest lady with princess disease" failed in an instant.

"Justice or something..."

Audrey said weakly, "Mr. Ash, when did you recognize it?"

"From the beginning,"

Ember replied, closed the book and glanced at Audrey's face——

The top of her head to be precise.

【Justice】Audrey Hall
With such a large icon, it's hard not to recognize it.

But keeping in mind that he was just the ember of an apprentice, he added modestly, "I was a little skeptical from the beginning, after all, the image of the blond noble lady is still very recognizable."

"In addition, Ms. Hall has been observing me, and it seems that she has known me for a long time. But I have not been here for a long time, and I am very confident in my memory. I confirm that I have not met Miss Hall before. noodle."

"And after the horse race, Viscount Greint suddenly invited me. Although I did attend the party held by him before, my performance should not be too popular, and he should not invite me again."

"So, this should also be due to Ms. Hall. You seem to want to get close to me, or to test me, for some purpose."

"Based on the above information, it is natural to associate Miss Hall with justice."

"..."

Audrey Hall said frustratedly, "Really, are you, Mr. Ash, also an audience?"

According to Ember, isn't that because she exposed herself?

"Not really."

Ember shook her head calmly, "Although the audience sequence could indeed be chosen at the beginning, I gave up."

"give up……"

Audrey suddenly felt a little complicated.

She had no choice.

Although there is still a sailor, it is impossible to choose that one, so there are only spectators from the beginning.

"May I ask."

Audrey asked cautiously, "Mr. Ash, how many choices did you have in total?"

"16 species."

Ember glanced at the girl and replied.

"16..."

Audrey opened her mouth and lowered her head with complicated emotions. She said that she didn't want to speak now.

There are only 22 Sequence pathways in total, and it would be great luck for ordinary people to obtain even one of the Sequence 9 potions.

Embers, on the other hand, have 16 choices!

A full 16 kinds!
With this condition, you tell me that this is just an ordinary fallen nobleman on the frontier?

　PS: Not everyone's name can read the protagonist.

　　In other words, not everyone's name is eligible to be revealed.

　　Just like in the game, the one who can display the name and health bar must be a boss at least.

　　Of course, it can also be an invading Red Spirit or an important NPC.
