Mystery: Two or three things between me and Tianzun God

Chapter 572 Audrey's weird mood
Hillston District.

"It's him. I remember it clearly. On the nights when family members disappeared one after another, that guy was there!"

In a corner of the block, Hugh Dilcha gritted his teeth as he watched a thin, capable man who looked to be in his forties return home.

She would never forget that night a few years ago when her father was sentenced to treason by the king and stripped of his title, and family members disappeared one after another.

If she, her mother and brother had not kept their identities secret and had had a bit of luck, Xio had no doubt that she would have disappeared without a trace.

"Wow, this is a big fish..."

Next to her, Fors picked up his notebook and quickly flipped through the lines of names on it.

"Rudolf Torres, Major General of the Kingdom Army. His family participated in the White Rose War and was awarded the title of Viscount."

"However, this major general is not the eldest son in his family and is not eligible to inherit the title. However, he has made many military achievements in the Southern Continent Army and became a major general at the age of thirty."

"Xiu, are you sure it was him?"

Looking at the list of upper-class people compiled by Audrey Helong, Fores looked at the bounty hunter solemnly.

"I will never forget him in my life!"

Hugh Dilcha gritted his teeth, immediately pulled out the triangular thorn, and sneaked into this heavily guarded mansion in broad daylight.

After all, in her opinion, only by beating the other party and forcing a confession could she feel relieved.

"Hey, wait a minute, why are you so brainless again at this time?"

"We should tell Miss Audrey about this and ask her to take action against this guy."

The writer quickly grabbed her impulsive companion and lifted her up from the ground, making sure her legs could not touch the ground, thus eliminating the possibility of Hugh Dilcha taking further action.

"..."

"Fols, let me go!"

The bounty hunter was held in the air and kicked his legs continuously, struggling.

However, Fowles remained unmoved.

After all, in her opinion, Miss Audrey, who had the support of the gods behind her, was obviously better at this.

If they act rashly, not only will they be unable to find evidence, but if something unexpected happens to the person they have finally found, all their efforts will probably be in vain.

…………

"Dad, you said the king wants me to temporarily take over your position as a councillor?"

In the luxurious villa of Earl Hall's family, Audrey, who had blonde hair and blue eyes and was extremely beautiful, asked back to confirm.

'What does the king mean by this? Is it about Hugh?'

The girl's beautiful golden eyebrows wrinkled slightly. Being a thoughtful and good reasoner, she immediately thought of a possibility.

Recently, only the investigation into Viscount Stratford's affairs was worthy of the king's suspicion.

Seeing his little daughter lost in thought without any panic on her face, the Earl couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.

He did not keep anyone in suspense and said calmly:

"This is inevitable. The king has adopted Duke Negan's political views, and it is clear that he wants to lean towards the Storm Church, which has stronger support. So he must make a statement and redistribute the benefits."

"And your recent events are just a good excuse, but this is what we have to do!"

"Helping the former head of the palace guards to redress his wrongdoing is a sure win. Audrey, do you remember what I told you?"

Hearing this, the noble girl nodded and said:

"Prestige and appeal are the two most important things, and above that, expressing your political attitude is even more important. It can help you distinguish who your friends are and who your enemies are."

During the days of investigation, Audrey traveled around and attended banquets, coming into contact with many ministers, parliamentarians, and even old aristocrats.

What was incredible to her was that when she investigated Viscount Stratford, she would sometimes encounter considerable resistance, and sometimes it would go so smoothly that it was outrageous.

"Ah, Dad, these things are really complicated. Why do those noble parliamentarians have to be so smooth?"

Audrey complained, looking as if she was seeking comfort from her old father.

"Audrey, it's about interests. In the upper class society, apart from family, there are no permanent friends, only permanent interests."

"Some of those guys are interested in the capital of the Hall family, and some may have noticed something and want you to test the king. There are even some ambitious people hiding in the dark. You must keep this in mind."

"Well, since you have taken over my position as a member of the House of Lords, you must go to see the king no matter what."

"This afternoon, our king convened a parliament specifically for you. Audrey, you must be careful."

“Don’t fall into the trap.”

"..."

Seeing her father nagging about her, Audrey Hall nodded in a mature manner.

After chatting with him for a while, the girl returned to her room.

“He did it on purpose.”

Suddenly, a cold and emotionless voice without any emotion came from the room where the girl's warmth and elegance and faint fragrance were floating in the air.

"Sister Sharon?" The noble girl called out happily, then froze for a moment and said:

"Who did it on purpose?"

She didn't wait for Sharon to utter a few words, but asked back with her thoughts racing:
"Sister Sharon, are you saying that Mr. Ron did this on purpose? Did he foresee this?"

Hearing this, the girl with delicate face and long light golden hair hidden in the mirror nodded.

"With His wisdom, He could have foreseen this, but He did not intervene. This was intentional. We will go and settle the score with Him."

Uh……

"It seems that she still has a grudge against Mr. Ron. That's right, if I were deceived like this, I would ignore that guy for the rest of my life."

'Mr. Ron should thank me. After all, no one would be so considerate to him...'

Shaking her head full of golden hair and gorgeous jewelry to clear her mind of chaotic thoughts, Audrey rested her chin with her right hand and thought:
"Sister Sharon, do you have such an association because Hugh and Fowles have new clues?"

Sharon suddenly fell silent, and finally remembered that the girl in front of her was a very good audience member.

No matter how well she hides her emotions, some actions will still reveal her thoughts.

"……Yes."

Miss Wrathful Soul nodded, then looked straight at Audrey and said word by word:

"Rudolf Torres, a Sequence 5 Punishment Knight, assumed that everything he did was secretly ordered by George III."

"default?"

"Yes, by default. The Augustus family occupies the Inquisitor's Path. He is restricted by the contract and cannot speak out, nor can he betray the royal family."

Hearing this, Audrey Hall's green eyes seemed to flash with light, and she asked in confusion:
"Then why did he say this?"

Doesn't this cut off all your escape routes?

The sharp-minded audience noticed something was wrong at the first moment.

Sharon's face was still as pale as a female ghost, and she said in a calm and indifferent tone:

"Intimidation."

Thanks to Suea's wise leadership, the Rose School was comparable to the Aurora Society a few years ago, and even surpassed many cult organizations.

Unfortunately, the major general had served in the southern continent and witnessed the horror of werewolves, zombies, and resentful spirits, as well as the weird, twisted, and terrifying curse and power of the "evil spirits", which left a serious psychological trauma. When Sharon appeared in front of the guy in the form of a terrifying evil spirit and wrote the name of Sua with her own hands.

The major general was almost scared to death.

After all, he didn't want to become an irrational, twisted werewolf, or be slaughtered like a pig.

"Intimidation? Is that simple? Well, maybe, maybe the major general is afraid of ghosts?"

Glancing at Sharon's current form, Audrey had to admit that it was indeed quite intimidating.

But isn’t all this a little too simple?

"Sister Sharon, I want to meet that major general and hint something to him, of course in a secret capacity."

in the afternoon.

The sun pierced through the clouds and sprinkled on the streets of Backlund for the first time in a long time.

The afternoon sun is bright and golden, making people feel peaceful and calm from the bottom of their hearts.

The Hall family's carriage sped along the street. Audrey, who was forced to go to work in place of her "seriously ill" father, lowered the carriage curtains, withdrew her gaze from admiring the beautiful scenery, and felt a little heavy pressure.

"It's hard not to think too much when the King convenes Parliament for the first time. And at this critical moment, an important witness happens to fall into my hands."

Although Audrey recognized the greatness of the gods, based on her understanding of Ron Sothoth, he did not always arrange everything perfectly.

"He always gives you a general direction and lets you find it yourself. If you say that this is all arranged by Mr. Ron, I will be the first to not believe it, because the two are completely different styles."

After analyzing it secretly in her mind for a while, the noble girl checked whether she had made any mistakes or omissions, and then she revealed a perfect smile that was not rude.

The four-wheeled carriage turned rapidly and soon arrived at the Sodrak Palace in the core area of ​​Backlund.

At this time, a surprised male voice was heard.

"Audrey, why is it you? Where is Earl Hall?"

Hearing the familiar voice, the noble girl looked back and found that it was an old acquaintance.

"Grelint, are you also here to attend the King's Congress?"

"Of course, I have always been a viscount and have served in the military. According to the ancient tradition, I am certainly eligible to participate, but now I would rather stay at home."

Audrey glanced at Greylint, who was wrapped up tightly in the sun, and nodded in agreement.

"Yes, I hold the same view, goddess, it is not a pleasant thing to wear a dress on such an afternoon."

"Mr. Viscount, I can answer your question now. My dear father is seriously ill, so I will temporarily replace him."

Hearing Audrey's words, Grellint was stunned and said in surprise:
"You are the Earl now? Uh, I mean, how is Earl Hall's health? I feel that as a junior, I have an obligation to go and take a look."

"Well, the first thing that came to mind was my status, and the fleeting surprise. I didn't expect that this guy, Grellint, would also learn bad things."

The Viscount's reaction did not surprise the girl. She did not care but responded with a smile:
"You can go anytime, but it's getting late and the king may not be able to wait any longer."

After the greetings, the two were led by the waiter through a long corridor and came to a council hall with a black-armored knight guarding the door.

"That's why I don't want to come. Most of the people here are in their 40s and 50s. Can you imagine? I was hanging out with Mary a few days ago, but today I'm sitting next to her father."

'Perhaps you could have afternoon tea with Mary's father today?'

Audrey muttered quietly in her heart, glanced at the two guards thoughtfully, then raised her chin slightly, and walked to the only empty seat near the king with an elegant and graceful step.

At this time, George III, who was sitting at the head of the brass table and watching everything, suddenly said:

"You're late, Hall's little girl."

After hearing the king's voice, the palace, which was originally filled with whispered discussions, suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Audrey's expression remained unchanged. She took in the expressions of everyone in Congress. She neither bowed nor apologized, but said softly:

"Mr. Hall is seriously ill. I have to worry about his safety. Dad died for this country and for His Majesty the King."

"?"

Ron's evaluation of the noble lady was not wrong. It was a complete case of white cutting black. With just one sentence, he instantly changed the situation and made George III, who wanted to take the opportunity to attack him, speechless.

I don't know if your father is sick or not! ?
What does it mean to do it for this country? What does it mean to do it for me?
Are you saying I'm incompetent?
For a moment, George III felt that Earl Hall's daughter was not an easy character to deal with.

"Well, today's Congress is very important. I was too impatient and didn't think too much about it."

Having said this, He changed the subject, and His ancestral round face suddenly became somewhat solemn, and He announced majestically:
"Now that everyone is here, let's get started."

Parliament does not meet at all times, but is convened by the king only when there are important events to discuss.

However, although it is called the Parliament, in Audrey's opinion it is undoubtedly a one-sided meeting of the most powerful nobles and the king.

Holding a small meeting before the conference is the same no matter where you are.

But just at this moment, when the king had just taken the manuscript and was about to read it aloud, a guard in black armor and dressed as a rider rushed in from outside the door, quickly came to George III's ear and whispered something.

After a while, George III's expression suddenly turned extremely ugly. He stood up angrily and threw the manuscript in his hand onto the long brass table.

"Everyone, it seems that our topic will have to be postponed for a while. In Backlund, the capital of Loen, a major general was brutally murdered!"

"Investigate it for me. We must get information out of those two bounty hunters to find out who dares to murder a major general of the Kingdom Army!"

The king's angry roar caused the entire parliament to explode.

When Audrey Hall heard this information, her mind exploded, and her ears were filled with a myriad of buzzing sounds.

"Two bounty hunters? Could it be Xio and Fors?"

"Could the Kingdom's Major General be Rodolfo Torres? How could he suddenly die?"

In Audrey's view, this was a very important witness, so she was very careful and cautious, fearing that this witness might bring hidden dangers to her. She even used her extraordinary ability to give her psychological hints a few hours ago.

But she never expected that Rodolfo Torres would die, and die so suddenly and so coincidentally.

At this moment, the girl finally realized everything that came with the struggle for power and politics.

That is different from killing with a gun in the sea. It is a bloodless killing. On the cliff hidden in the thick darkness, one can be smashed to pieces if one is not careful.

'No wonder, I was wondering how could it be such a coincidence, Rudolf Torres was a bait deliberately released by George III.'

Roselle's fishing enforcement is still very useful even after more than two hundred years.

"That's right. With Roselle's example, it was a correct choice for George III to first suspect that there was something wrong with the nobles. Not to mention that the World Peace Company has never demonstrated any intention to overthrow the Loen royal family."

"So, he deliberately exposed his flaws and waited for people with bad intentions to take the bait. Compared to this king, I really have a long way to go."

"No wonder he wants his dad to take sick leave. If it was his dad, he would definitely handle it calmly, but if it was me."

Audrey Hall became extremely calm at this moment. Ron's training allowed her to analyze the situation quickly. She raised her head and as expected, she saw George III looking at her with a firm expression.

He stood up and said in a dignified and obedient tone:
"Earl Hall of this generation, don't you have anything to say? According to the intelligence, those two bounty hunters seem to be your friends."

The entire congress hall suddenly became extremely silent. Facing the pressure from the king, Audrey was not moved at all.

After all, for her who could see two gods every week, this bit of status oppression was nothing.

The girl looked around, stood up like a leader, and said calmly:

"Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with me."

However, George III did not want to miss this opportunity and snorted:
"They are your friends. If you say it's okay, does it really matter?!"

The noble lady relaxed her brows and looked around at all the nobles, big and small, and said:
"Your Majesty, if that's the case, then the two princes who rebelled before were both your own sons."

King George III's face turned green and he almost fainted.

Who taught you to talk like that!?
