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

Chapter 190 Audrey: The clown is actually me?

Dilin seemed to feel something and looked towards him.

Roy nodded with a smile.

The other party smiled slightly, without stopping, and left holding the book.

The Secret Eye of Sequence 6 is not yet able to estimate the sequence through the state of the mental body as accurately and perfectly as the Mysterious Palace.

but.

Judging from Dilin's external performance, she should have been promoted to Sequence 8 and became a Sequence 8 fighting scholar.

The promotion speed is okay.

but.

The look back just now is enough to show that Dilin has a strong spiritual intuition and is definitely a good seedling——

What's the scariest thing about being a spy?

Look at everything.

The incomplete eye of peeping into secrets cannot be closed at will. If you can see everything, you will basically not be able to survive for a few days in the land of Backlund.

after all.

This is where everything exists.

If you are less lucky and meet an angel or a divine carrier...

Just look at it and explode.

but.

Having strong spiritual intuition can avoid this situation to a large extent, but with a character like Dilin...

"Forget it, I didn't invest anything anyway, so I won't lose much if I die."

Roy lowered his silk hat and walked to the quiet communication room next to him.

"Room 11."

He searched for No. 11 in the corridor, and finally found the "11" number in a remote corner.

Roy knocked gently on the door.

"Ma'am, I'm Egg White. Is it convenient to come in now?"

"Of course, Mr. Egg, I have been waiting for a long time."

A woman's voice came from inside.

Well, very familiar.

Roy's memory is very good, and he matched the identity of the voice in just one second——

Audrey Hall.

I didn't expect it to be her.

Before he could open the door, the door was opened first.

A maid smiled in welcome.

Roy nodded gently and walked into the secluded room, and then he saw a golden retriever in the corner.

Its eyes were staring at him at this moment.

Roy didn't show any abnormalities, but restrained his emotions and did not let his emotional state be leaked.

"The most dazzling gem of Backlund, I didn't expect to see you here. It's such an honor."

Roy expressed his praise.

Audrey's face froze, and then she said in a relaxed tone: "Mr. Egg, I'm sorry for not informing you in advance, but I happened to pass by today and saw your portrait."

"It doesn't matter, my job is to answer questions."

Roy sat down at the main seat.

Afterwards, he tidied up the desk and simply wiped the tabletop.

"Miss Audrey, do you have any questions about knowledge?"

"Yes, I have been very interested in mysticism recently, but there is a threshold for true mystery, so I have some questions that I would like to ask you for advice."

Audrey was very polite.

Roy said with a smile: "Miss Audrey, you don't have to be so polite. Just call me Egg."

He paused after saying this, picked up the tea cup and took a sip of jasmine tea.

"What questions do you have? If I know, I can give you an answer as appropriate, but I need to be paid accordingly."

"no problem."

Audrey agreed decisively.

money……

To her, one or two hundred gold pounds was no different than pocket money.

Roy nodded gently.

She then asked: "I heard that the Earth Church is good at planting?"

"Yes."

Roy nodded.

Audrey hesitated for a moment and said: "Then why do you want to promote the ability of the earth? Won't this help the Church of the Earth?"

"will not."

Roy said with a smile.

He took a sip of tea and said: "We, Lundberg and Loen, are allies, but Fenebaud is not. They will not lean towards the Church of the Earth."

“Then can you do it at a lower cost?”

Audrey asked again.

Roy paused for a moment, then looked at her: "Are you representing yourself, or Earl Hall behind you?"

Audrey hesitated and hesitated.

Of course she didn't ask her father. It was just her own idea to come out this time.

but.

At this time, she felt that she could represent Earl Hall——

Just don't express your opinion.

Inquiring in detail will be beneficial to the nobles.

after all.

Nowadays, the nobles have a large area of ​​land in ruins, and the death of Duke Negan has caused some previous possibilities to become uneasy.

She analyzed the current situation between herself, Earl Hall and the nobles, and believed that contacting Egg would be beneficial.

big deal...

Like Earl Hall's statement, he has become an extraordinary person.

An extraordinary person will have more say in the decision-making than himself as a "girl".

Audrey had thought of everything.

"I represent Earl Hall."

Roy smiled half-heartedly.

Audrey could see that the other party already understood that she had not informed Earl Hall——

He is worthy of being an extraordinary person in the Church of Knowledge.

She sighed inwardly.

"it is good."

what?

Audrey was a little surprised and looked up at the other party.

Roy smiled and said: "Since you represent Earl Hall, I can reveal some secrets."

"You say."

Audrey suppressed her joy.

Roy said: "In terms of cost, it is definitely impossible to achieve the same cost as the Church of the Earth. That is their accumulation over thousands of years, and there are not many people in the Church of Knowledge who study this."

He sighed.

"Everyone is afraid that the ideas of the Earth Church will come back, so most people don't study this field."

"What's the point?"

Audrey was puzzled.

Roy smiled and said: "You are trying to say that the food coming out of Feneport is very cheap now, maybe even cheaper than growing it yourself, right?"

"Yes, in this situation, everyone except the nobles has benefited. Even if the nobles plant according to your plan, the situation will not change."

Audrey nodded.

It was this that puzzled her.

The Corn Bill was repealed, and everyone except the nobles actually supported it.

Civilians received cheap food.

Capitalists get cheap labor.

Countries have gained trade connectivity and their economies have become more prosperous.

No matter how you look at it...

The Corn Bills should all be repealed.

This is Audrey's idea.

She is not a person who completely stands in her own class position, but a strange and thoughtful woman who can think from other people's perspectives.

Roy didn't refute, just smiled and nodded.

"As you said, if there are no other changes, the food coming out of Feneport will indeed allow everyone to eat cheaper food."

"Ok?"

Audrey heard that the key point in the other party's words should be the "but" at the end.

"But you shouldn't just think about the present."

Roy took out a piece of paper and wrote his thoughts.

Price war, no one growing, food monopoly, rising food prices...

This is a route.

The other one has only one word——

war!

Roy handed it over.

"That's what I think." "You can take it to Earl Hall. I think he will understand what I mean. Of course, Miss Hall, you can think about it yourself."

Roy smiled and said, "You can only pay 100 gold pounds this time, because this is an extension of my deal with Earl Hall and the others."

"Thank you."

Audrey held the paper and looked at the few words on it, falling into chaotic thoughts.

She can see it.

The first one is from a commercial perspective, after squeezing local grain, then using grain as the lifeblood to control prices...

Once food prices rise, the knock-on effects will be dire.

Even she hadn't imagined the ripple effects.

As for the second article.

That would be even scarier.

war!

Who is at war with whom?

On the carriage, Audrey was sitting in her seat with an ugly expression on her face.

"Miss……"

"Annie, let me think quietly for a while."

"Yes."

Anne said no more.

Susie was on the side, wagging her tail as she recalled the previous scene in her mind.

I always feel...

Something isn't quite right.

but.

It's just a dog.

Although it knows a lot, it cannot truly discern human nature unless it can truly grasp the secret of the mind-reader.

For now, Susie still has a ways to go.

Audrey sighed.

She looked outside, already making a decision in her heart.

Outside the villa in Queens, the carriage quickly drove through the gate. Audrey got out of the car and quickly ran upstairs.

"Audrey, you can't run away like that, it's too unladylike."

"Mom, where is dad?"

"Talk to Count Wolfe upstairs, don't disturb them."

the Countess dissuaded.

Audrey nodded: "I'm going to wait for a while. I have something important to see dad."

"Okay, but you have to pay attention to etiquette and don't let Count Wolfe see the joke."

"Okay, dear mother."

Audrey stuck out her tongue as she spoke, and then walked slowly upstairs. When she reached a place where her mother could not see her, she quickly quickened her pace.

From behind, Susie followed lightly.

After waiting upstairs for a while, Earl Wolfe sighed and came out. When he looked at Audrey, he put on a stiff smile on his face, said hello and left.

Earl Hall went out to see him off.

After coming back, he looked at Audrey.

"My beautiful princess, what can I do to you?"

"Dad, I went to see that Egg White."

Audrey said directly.

Earl Hall frowned slightly and said, "What did you see him for?"

His tone was slightly dissatisfied.

Audrey hesitated for a moment and said, "Dad, I have become an extraordinary person, and now I am an audience member."

Earl Hall was startled for a moment, then sighed.

"I already knew it."

"what?"

Audrey was confused.

Earl Hall smiled and said: "You took so many things from the family's treasury, how could we not know about it? It's not like I don't know about the existence of extraordinary people."

Audrey blushed slightly and felt a little ashamed.

She thought she was hiding it well, but it turned out that she had no secrets in the eyes of her parents. If she had known this...

She wouldn't have to hide so much.

Audrey said: "I noticed Mr. Egger that day, so I wanted to get in touch with him to see what his intentions were."

"Audrey, this is too dangerous. He is a Sequence 6 Beyonder. A beginner like you shouldn't be so reckless."

Earl Hall lectured.

Audrey admitted her mistake in time: "Yes, I know I was wrong, but he gave me a note."

With that said, Audrey handed over the note.

Earl Hall raised his eyebrows, took the folded paper and opened it.

There are only a few words on it.

He read it quickly and then closed it with a "swipe".

After a few seconds, he looked at Audrey.

"Go to the study."

When he arrived in the study, Earl Hall sat down and said, "Audrey, although I have known that you are an extraordinary person for a long time, I am still very happy that you will confess on such an occasion."

As he spoke, his expression became serious and he picked up the paper in his hand.

"This is important."

"Is what he said possible?"

Audrey pretended not to know——

She knew that the first one had a high probability of happening!

Earl Hall nodded: "Yes, although the first type is scary, other countries also have food, and they don't necessarily have to be purchased from Feneport."

"The scary thing is the second one."

His expression was serious.

Audrey thought for a few seconds, then suddenly raised her head.

"Because of Lemburg and the Kingdom of Feneport?"

"I don't know, but when Mr. Egger said this, he may have received some information or foreseeed a certain situation."

Earl Hall replied, and then he added again, "Even if it is not the case, the situation he mentioned is indeed worthy of attention."

war……

Once a war breaks out, the country will have no food and will rely entirely on foreign trade——

This situation is very scary!

If there are no cost-effective options available, there is really nothing you can do, but there are obviously options at present.

Earl Hall thought for a while and said, "Audrey, since you have met him, please help me go and tell him that our family will hold a dance on Friday this week."

"it is good."

Audrey did not ask in detail.

She knew that this dance must be related to the previous deal, and that the deal had even been reached before, but...

Duke Negan is assassinated, and the deal may not go smoothly.

The other party is also worried.

That's why I told myself.

Audrey understood the reason, but she sighed in her heart.

She thought she had done everything thoroughly, but in fact many things were not. Fortunately, she was in a noble family and did not need to take risks to obtain materials like others.

otherwise.

Given my current situation, I may not be able to survive until now...

Audrey is very self-aware.

She sighed, cherishing the present more and more.

"Dad, which countries do you think will have war?"

"I never understood why the Church of Knowledge sent Egg to Backlund. Now look..."

Earl Hall whispered, "He may be trying to win over allies."

"us?"

"Well, Loen is an ally of Lundborg. I thought about it just now. Egger may mean that Fenebote will use food to control us Loen, and then launch a war against Lundborg."

Earl Hall mentioned a secret.

It turns out that Lundborg was part of Feneport before, but later split away due to a falling out between the Church of Knowledge and the Church of the Earth.

This has also become a great enmity between the two countries and the two religions.

In his opinion, Egger's actions may be to eliminate the troubles caused by friendly parties, and ultimately for the safety of Lundberg.

Audrey was startled, and then realized...

If that kind of war really breaks out, a terrible food disaster will definitely break out in Loen.

Without any preparation, the entire Loen would fall into chaos, even Backlund would be no exception.

Until then……

The nobles can certainly be self-sufficient, but the common people will die a lot.

wrong!

Can nobles really live alone?

Audrey was confused.
