Secret: I, the hermit, want to make progress too much

Chapter 129 Audrey, an unqualified audience

"By the way, who organized the ball this time? It shouldn't be Duke Negan, right?"

Halfway through the car, Roy suddenly became alert.

Duke Negan…

This great nobleman has been unlucky recently. If he gets involved with him, he may be in trouble.

"No, Duke Negan is the leader of the Conservative Party and is an enemy of us Feneport people and the Church of the Earth. Why would he invite us to participate?"

Liana shook her head, and then explained, "It's Count Wolfe."

Count Wolfe?
Roy searched the memory in his mind, and then remembered who the other party was.

Likewise the Conservative Party.

but.

What's different is that due to the repeal of the Corn Act, Earl Wolfe's family's income dropped severely, so he sold a full 84 acres of land.

Now he has a lot of money and not much land left, say Tory, but...

In a sense, we can also contact and communicate with each other.

Roy raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

"I think this dance will be great."

"Yes, Mr. Green, every party wants to win over them. You know, many Conservatives have sold their properties and started investing over the years."

Liyana smiled and said, "The Wolf family has a lot of money now, and everyone wants his support."

In addition to the money, they also collected a mask of a descendant of Death.

Because of these collections, nobles are targeted by some extraordinary people...

Roy thought.

but.

Since it wasn't Duke Negan's ball, he wasn't too worried. At most, there would just be some minor accidents.

Roy closed his eyes.

"By the way, it seems that Intis's ambassador, Beckron, is also here."

Liyana said suddenly.

Roy was slightly surprised after hearing this, and then said: "That intelligence chief?"

"Intelligence chief? Does he still hold such a job in Backlund?"

Liyana was surprised after hearing this.

Then, she mused: "Indeed, as an ambassador, he is the most convenient."

"Well, I have a friend who had a conflict with them, so I know the other person's identity, and he may also be an extraordinary person."

Roy said.

After Liana thought for a moment, she said: "Then we should avoid him and minimize contact with him to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings."

"Ah."

……

Count Wolfe's house.

In the huge banquet hall, burning candles stood on several chandeliers, emitting a soothing aroma.

Pan-fried foie gras, grilled steak and other delicacies are placed on the long tables, as well as famous wines from all over the world.

Several tables were filled to the brim and looked very luxurious.

Audrey was wearing a light white dress and elegantly shuttled among the elegant and gorgeous gentlemen and ladies, observing everyone calmly.

"After being promoted to a mind reader, it's really easy to know what others are thinking."

Audrey sighed.

She can read the shallow thoughts of the rest of them.

At first, she thought it was interesting, but gradually she found that it wasn't that interesting——

Knowing too much often darkens the heart.

She silently walked through the crowd and walked to a corner, preparing to sit here alone to drink and eat something.

At this time, she saw a person.

Someone I haven’t seen in a long time.

"Graylint, you look very reserved and deep tonight, like a wise scholar."

Audrey smiled.

Gray Linte rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Audrey, you are the one who shines most tonight. No one can avoid your light."

"Shall we go there to chat?"

Audrey pointed to the corner.

Gray Linte nodded slightly: "Okay, I also want to sit quietly for a while."

He followed Audrey to the corner, and then couldn't help but say: "I didn't want to participate at first. You know, I recently studied dispensing with a pharmacist..."

"You wrote that he was a very rude gentleman."

Audrey described it euphemistically.

In fact, Gray Linte's words were even worse, describing the pharmacist as a heinous guy.

But obviously.

Today, Gray Lint seems to be in pain but happy.

There was a smile on her lips.

Gray Lint coughed slightly in embarrassment and said, "My elder enlightened me. He said that it would be uncomfortable to get along with this kind of person, but you don't need to worry that he will be detrimental to you."

When he said this, he couldn't help but nod: "Now I agree with this point of view. It is true that his words are difficult to hear, but they are all for my own good, and his guidance is very conscientious."

"Graylint, you are becoming more and more like a mature viscount."

Audrey praised.

Gray Lint chuckled softly, then beamed, and said excitedly: "Audrey, you can't imagine what I have experienced in the past few days. It was extremely unlucky at first, but then..."

He described his condition.

After a few days of bad luck, he encountered a series of good luck events.

such as--

I got the magic potion formula I wanted and got the potion ingredients very smoothly. Later, I met a pharmacist in an accident.

At this point, he whispered: "That is the real medicine man, he has many magical medicines."

"What about it?"

Audrey is curious and excited.

She currently has a reserve of 10 witchcraft scrolls that are as powerful as Sequence 7. If she can reserve some magical medicines...

That couldn't be better.

Gray Linte chuckled and was about to say something, but then his face froze and he coughed lightly and said: "Well, they are just some very good medicines, very magical."

"Can you get me some?"

Audrey said excitedly, "You know, I am also full of yearning for mystery, and these medicines are also magical."

"Well, after I learn how to prepare the medicine, I will prepare some for you."

Gray Linte's eyes evaded.

Audrey raised the corners of her mouth slightly, holding back her smile and said, "Okay, I'm looking forward to it."

At this time, she looked up at the door, and then her eyes lit up.

At the door, a lady walked in. The lady was wearing a black evening dress, her appearance and temperament were eye-catching.

Beside her, a handsome, unfamiliar gentleman walked in wearing a simple, restrained suit.

A pendant hung from his waist.

From a distance, she couldn't see clearly the pattern of the pendant. She could only vaguely see that it was some kind of plant.

she asked Graylint curiously.

"Do you know them?"

"I don't know him. He doesn't seem to be a noble from Backlund."

Graylint shook his head.

Then, he followed the other person's movement with his eyes. After observing for a while, he remembered.

"Her emblem seems to be the Audra family."

"Audra?"

Information about this family appeared in Audrey's mind, and then she thought thoughtfully——

This family is very simple.

There are only one or two of them in each generation, and it has been decades since then, but they have not participated in many dances in Backlund.

"I didn't expect Audra to have such a lady."

Audrey said with a smile, "Mr. Graylingt, don't you go say hello?"

"What am I going to do?"

Gray Linte sighed helplessly, "I didn't want to come originally, but forget it, let's go and see him. At least it's polite as a man."

He got up and walked towards Liyana and Roy.

……

"Miss Liyana, you are the brightest star tonight."

"Miss Liyana..."

Young noble men came over one after another with smiles on their faces.

Roy smiled and said nothing.

These noble children are really a bit superficial.

Not to mention that Liyana may be older than their parents and grandfather, even normal young vampires look down on them.

of course.

Liyana was quite polite, at least she didn't directly ignore them and responded to their greetings one by one.

After a few minutes, Roy saw an emotionally reluctant man, but with a very sincere and decent expression on his face.

"Beautiful lady, I am Gray Linte..."

Viscount Graylingt introduced himself.

Roy quickly calmed down his emotions——

Audrey is there too.

As a mind reader, she can observe herself more clearly in reality through her actions, behaviors, etc.

The smile returned to Roy's face.

Thanks Klein!
Although as a secret spy, he is not a clown and cannot perfectly control muscles and emotions, but he can also avoid the leakage of emotions to a certain extent.

After a while, he saw a beautiful girl in a light white dress walking over.

The other person holds a glass of wine in his hand.

"Hello, my name is Audrey Hall."

"Liyana Audra, hello, beautiful lady."

Liyana said with a smile.

Roy was on the side, quietly observing Audrey.

Her beauty lives up to her reputation.

Anyone who sees her in person can understand where the phrase "the most dazzling gem" comes from——

Wherever she goes, she always becomes the center of attention.

Beneath the beauty is her gentle, delicate soul.

Roy noticed.

She deliberately waited until the others finished talking before coming over to say hello to Liyana, so as not to steal Liyana's limelight.

but.

She was definitely worrying too much.

Liyana didn't care about that.

Audrey chatted for a while, the content was nothing more than complimenting each other, boring content that bored Roy, but this was a necessary etiquette among nobles.

At this point, the topic changed.

"Who is this gentleman?"

This was the first time tonight that someone took the initiative to say hello to Roy.

Because there is no noble emblem on Roy.

Roy smiled and said: "Green Rossiter, a scholar, is currently Ms. Liana's advisor." "Advisor?"

Audrey was slightly surprised.

The gentleman who was mysterious and extraordinary in her eyes turned out to be a consultant. She originally thought he was a male companion.

but.

Instead she became more interested.

He is just a consultant, but he can accompany him to the dance...

"Ms. Liyana, can I talk to your consultant? I've been having some troubles recently and want to find a qualified consultant to help me, but I haven't found the consultant I like."

Audrey said with a smile.

Liyana chuckled and said, "Of course, please do."

"Can I join in?"

Gray Lint said immediately.

"We will pay you enough."

"It's fine if we just have a casual chat. Miss Liyana, do you want to come with us?"

Roy looked at Liana.

Liyana shook her head and smiled.

"No, I'm going to have something to eat. After I have something to eat, I can come over and listen to you chat."

"We will be on the second floor. There is a balcony tea room on the second floor of Earl Wolfe's house. It is relatively quiet and perfect for chatting."

"it is good."

……

In the corner of the second floor of the ball, Audrey took a sip of wine, and then chuckled: "Mr. Green, what are you good at?"

"A lot. I know some languages ​​and history, including the history of Loen."

Roy Road.

Audrey immediately said: "Are you not from Loen?"

"Yes, I am from Feneport and the Mother Goddess guides my path."

Roy made a praying gesture.

Although it has only been a little over a day since he officially joined the Earth Church, it has been a long time since he joined the Church spiritually.

after all.

As soon as he arrived in the South District, he was thinking about whether to move closer to the Earth Church, and he even learned hand gestures for a while.

Audrey was not too surprised——

After getting closer, she could see clearly the pendant around Roy's waist.

It was a pendant engraved with ears of rice and the Holy Emblem of Life. The other party was not only a member of the Church of the Earth, but might also be an important member.

As for Gray Lint.

He chuckled and said: "I have heard of the teachings of Mother Earth. She is a great and benevolent god."

"Yes, if you know the Earth Mother, you will be infected by her kindness and greatness."

Roy was quick to praise his current boss.

"Mr. Green, you seem to have a lot of connections with the Church of the Earth. You must have heard of Extraordinary people and mysticism, right?"

Audrey was in high spirits.

Gray Lint and Liana were chatting on the other side, not too far away from them, but there were still relatively few people in this corner.

and so.

She can ask about topics of interest.

Roy smiled and said: "I just know, not a deep understanding, but there are some mysterious problems. I know who to approach to solve the problem. For a consultant, this is enough."

Audrey thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

indeed.

Those who are powerful are called bodyguards, not consultants.

As a qualified consultant, Roy will be successful as long as he can provide methods and suggestions.

Greent pondered for a moment and said, "Mr. Green, do you know the pharmacist?"

"Understand a little bit. This path is in the hands of the Life School and the Rose School. In addition, our Earth Church also welcomes pharmacists."

Roy kept to his heart and didn't show much emotion.

After all, there is an audience in front of you.

He looked at the other person and said, "Are you interested in the pharmacist?"

"Uh, yes, I heard that you can prepare medicinal materials through this method, which may help you live longer."

Gray Linte was more outspoken.

Roy smiled and said, "If it's for this reason, that's really good."

Gray Lint received an affirmative answer, with a smile on his face that was not hidden at all.

of course.

In front of mind readers and scroll professors, simple concealment of expressions is useless. Only by controlling spiritual restraint emotions can true concealment be achieved.

Roy looked at Audrey.

"Beautiful lady, what's your question?"

"I am interested in all things related to mystery. Can you tell me a little bit about it? For example, where have you been, the local customs, the adventures of extraordinary people, etc."

Audrey sighed softly as she spoke, "You also know that as nobles, although we have a naturally privileged life, we don't have many opportunities to see the outside world."

"It's the price, Audrey, and you don't want to experience real civilian life."

Gray Lint pursed his lips slightly.

He thought about his recent life in the East End, and then said: "As a noble, the only thing I can do is to give a certain discount out of my own pocket when dispensing prescriptions."

"Mr. Viscount, you have surpassed most people."

They chatted casually with no fixed direction or topic, but the initiative was always on Roy's side.

Audrey looked calm and smiling on the surface, but she was a little annoyed deep down.

She couldn't see through the consultant in front of her at all.

The other party's smile and emotion are very single, and even slight fluctuations will not show much change, as if they are born to be the nemesis of the audience.

but.

The more this happened, the more curious Audrey became——

Her intuition told her that this consultant was far from being as simple as he appeared.

He may be a big shot in the Earth Church!

As for Miss Liyana.

According to her observations, he may also be an Extraordinary, and he should be from Feneport, not a native of Backlund.

A member of Audra's family who grew up in Feneport?

She was full of curiosity and was eager to dig out some information from Roy, but unfortunately, she couldn't get any information after observing for a long time.

I just felt that the other person was very mysterious and had completely restrained my emotions.

After a while, there was a loud noise from below.

They looked downstairs——

A man with a thin face and some stubble came in downstairs. After he came in, his eyes quickly scanned the whole place.

Ambassador to Backlund.

Beckland Jean Madin.

"Intis' ambassador? I didn't expect him to come too."

"It's normal. Count Wolf is now a hot figure, and everyone wants to win over him."

"But his style is really disgusting."

Audrey couldn't help but complain——

She rarely spoke ill of others behind their backs, but this ambassador left a really deep impression on her.

Roy looked around Beckland.

There was a bodyguard on either side of Beclang.

Also, in the dark.

After Backlund came in, two people quickly looked over and faintly changed their positions, guarding Ambassador Backlund in the middle.

Before anyone arrived, An Zi came first.

These two people should also be extraordinary.

Roy looked down.

"Mr. Green, what do you think of Beckron?"

Audrey asked.

Roy turned his head back and said, "A standard conspirator, a character who is not easy to deal with."

Conspirator?
What do you mean, does it mean that the other party likes to manipulate and conspire?
Audrey doesn't know.

This is actually the name of Hunter Sequence 6.

She was still thinking about the meaning of this sentence, and then she saw Beckland laughing and greeting a lady below.

The disgust on her face became more apparent.

but.

As a viewer, she is clearly not qualified at the moment.

Roy was not as emotionally involved as she was. Sitting on top and looking down, he could see the entire venue.

Apart from Backlund and his bodyguards and undercover men, the one with the greatest emotional fluctuations in the venue was a man in the corner.

Although he had gone through some disguise, Roy still recognized the other party's identity.

Sherman!
Why is he here?

Roy stared.

Sherman's fate may not have changed much before, but he is still working with Triss now.

but.

Her original target was the person who had hurt her.

just now……

Is she going to assassinate Beckland?
crazy?

Roy frowned, then——

He noticed that not far from Sherman, there was a strange man wearing a hat, sitting quietly there.

He stood up.

"Sorry, I'm a little hungry. I'll go down and see if there's anything to eat."

"You please."

Audrey smiled and nodded.

Roy walked downstairs, did get some food, and then met Liana.

Liyana was sitting in the corner taking a break.

"Miss."

"Ok?"

Liyana turned her head and said with a smile, "What's wrong? That dazzling gem is not enough for you to talk about. Do you still want me to get a pair?"

"Ahem, that's not the case. I feel like something is not right at the scene."

Roy whispered.

Liyana nodded: "That's not right. I don't know what this Backlang is here for, but he actually sent out five of his men."

"5?"

Roy only saw four.

He sat next to Liyana, then looked outside, and then noticed a woman. She seemed to be getting food and drinking, but she kept looking around with vigilance.

She's clearly not normal either.

Roy quietly took out the pendant. After a moment, the pendant turned clockwise.

The other party is also under Beckron.

What does the ambassador want to do?
trap?

Roy looked towards the corner.
