Chapter 219 Acquaintance
"The potion formula I have does not include these two. If you need to become a 'diviner', I can tell you the formula."
Angel said with a hint of regret.
She had come across the "Audience" potion before. It was at the Tarot Club that Miss Justice and Mr. Hanged Man completed the transaction of this formula in front of her. As for the "Pharmacist", perhaps she could get it from the Beyonder gathering of the "Eye of Wisdom". After all, there was a ready-made pharmacist there, Darkwill.
"However, perhaps I can think of a way at a Beyonder gathering. Perhaps someone will be selling these formulas."
Seeing the two nobles' undisguised disappointment, she added.
"Is the gathering of Beyonders like ours?"
Miss Audrey asked curiously.
"No, it's much larger than this one, with more than ten or even twenty people. Everyone will write down what they want to buy or sell on the blackboard. Those in need can go to a small room to discuss, and the organizer will ensure the safety and reliability of the transaction. This person is usually a powerful Beyonder, such as... Mr. A."
Angel managed to see a hint of disappointment on Viscount Gralint's face, while Audrey seemed even more interested, so much so that her emerald eyes sparkled like gems.
"I really hope we can find the potion formula we need there. Well, can you help us try to buy it at that party? Don't worry, we will cover all the related expenses."
As if awakened by Audrey's words, Grellint made a promise that if he could obtain the pharmacist's potion formula, he would be willing to pay a high premium to buy it.
It seems that this Viscount really likes "Pharmacist". Is there any special advantage to this path that cannot be replaced by other paths?
Angel thought curiously.
However, for the sake of the gold pounds, she would soon seek help from the pharmacist at the "Eye of Wisdom" gathering. Perhaps, at a high premium, Darkwill would be willing to reveal the formula...
After finishing the topic of potion formulas, the three continued to exchange knowledge on mysticism. Audrey was a noble lady who was very interested in mysticism and yearned for the world of extraordinary people. Grallint was more calm, but when it came to potions, especially the potions of the "pharmacist", his tone would even rise a few degrees.
Considering Sylvia's task of "getting close to Audrey and becoming friends with her", Angel thought he could find a way to cater to her needs by adjusting the potion formula.
Soon, the topic turned to the two Beyonders who were not present, Xio and Fors.
"Ms. Fors Wall is a best-selling author. You must have heard of the book 'Stormwind Heights,' which sold well throughout the kingdom. The author is Fors. I really like the protagonist of the book, Ms. Sissi. She is a calm, intelligent, yet somewhat lazy detective, just like Ms. Fors."
Audrey stood up and walked to the bookshelf beside her, followed by Angel's gaze. She took out a beautifully bound book from among the various classics and picture albums, and then returned to sit behind the desk.
Angel took it and found that it was the book "Storm Heights" she mentioned, and the author was written as Fors Wall.
"She came to me and admitted that she was a Beyonder. Well, I was quite surprised at the time," Grellant added. "We helped her rescue a companion who had been accidentally imprisoned, another member, Hugh Dilcha. Then they joined our small salon, which was only Audrey and me at the time. They led us into the true Beyonder circle and helped Audrey do many things, earning us generous rewards."
What you mean is, if I want to join, I have to help you solve problems like them?
Angel quickly understood what the Viscount meant and nodded. "I hope to meet the two members you mentioned next week. Perhaps I have advantages over them. For example, I can help you find potion formulas."
“I’m looking forward to the party next week.”
Seeing that Angel was so "sensible", Grellint nodded with satisfaction, which was considered as agreeing that Angel could continue to participate in this secret party.
After both parties were frank and expressed their needs to each other, Miss Audrey also showed some signs of fatigue and yawned from time to time. Angel saw that his goal for today had been achieved, so he excused himself and left.
…
"She's the same figure as I saw in the gray fog. If you subtract the height of her shoes, she's about 1.75 meters tall, a fist taller than me. As expected, she's Miss Queen..."
Looking at the departing figure of the lady wearing high-heeled dancing shoes and nearly 1.8 meters tall, Audrey smiled and looked at Susie lying beside her, asking with her eyes whether she remembered her appearance. The latter looked away guiltily, sweeping the carpet slowly with her tail.
"Audrey, do you think this lady is funny? I've rarely seen you smile so happily lately."
Grelint asked curiously.
That's because I can now use the power of "audience" to control my expression...
Audrey answered in her heart, but said the opposite: "Yes, I think I can talk to her more often in the future. Besides, your 'pharmacist' may depend on her."
"I don't dare to look forward to it anymore."
Viscount Glint replied, and then he left the study. The salon he was hosting still needed a host to liven up the atmosphere.
After the maid outside closed the soundproof door, Audrey squatted down and looked at her beloved dog.
"Susie?"
"Audrey, look at my paws. They can't hold a pen or ink. Even if I remember Miss Irene's appearance, I can't draw her."
Perhaps realizing she was embarrassing a dog, Audrey finally sighed and gave up on asking Susie to draw Irene's true appearance. However, she still asked unwillingly:
"Then you could always describe her appearance, for example," she frowned awkwardly, wondering how to get a dog to describe someone's appearance in Loenese, "for example, is she pretty?"
Susie looked at her owner with a strange look in her eyes: "I really can't describe this. After all, I'm just a dog and don't understand human aesthetics."
"I think she's a little worse than you, uh-"
After hearing this obviously perfunctory answer, Audrey stood up and stopped making things difficult for her beloved dog.
But she still felt a little happy in her heart. Of course, it was not because of Susie's words, but because in this meeting, she finally confirmed based on her height and body shape that Miss Irene was the "Queen" she had seen through the heavy gray fog at the Tarot Club.
Although the other party claimed to be a "fortune teller" and the "Queen" of the Tarot Club was obviously a Beyonder of the "Assassin" path, Audrey could tell from her micro-expressions that she was not telling the truth.
Well, her appearance is fake, and her way of knowing potions is also fake. So, what is her current identity?
Audrey, who once again transformed into a great detective, was thinking about her next plan. She walked out of the study and went to the dressing room accompanied by her personal maid Anne. The salon was coming to an end, and she had to show up again.
————
"Her figure and height match what I saw in the gray fog... As expected, this Miss Audrey Hall is the Tarot Club's 'Justice'."
Watching Audrey leave with the maid with light steps, Angel, who was hiding nearby, finally confirmed the other party's identity.
Seeing the two figures disappear at the end of the corridor, Angel removed the invisibility effect and returned to the salon in the hall from the other side.
