The gentle voice seemed to resonate with Audrey's innermost thoughts, making her feel, with only a slight resistance, that it came from her own heart and was her truest thought.

Hvin Rambis looked into her emerald eyes, which were like gemstones, and continued speaking at a moderate pace:

“Second, at the following banquets and balls, you should no longer be so resistant to the advances of the princes, and give a few compliments to Earl and Lady Hall.

"Remember the above words. This is the reflection of your subconscious mind. Then, forget that I have ever been here and said these words to you. Forget that this behavior is different from your original behavior. Do not try to seek protection and deviate from the key position of the High Mass of the Church of Night..."

After finishing speaking, Hvin Rambis withdrew his gaze from Audrey's eyes and turned to hint to the maid Anne and others so that they would not be surprised by their lady's subsequent abnormal behavior.

After dealing with these things, his figure disappeared in the carriage without causing any noise.

Ding-a-ling!

Another bicycle passed by the car window, and Audrey's slightly unfocused eyes suddenly regained their spirits.

She looked at the people and cars coming and going on the street, and suddenly let out a small "Ouch".

Then, she turned around and said to Annie and the others sheepishly:

"I forgot one thing. I have to go to Greylint first."

At this time, the carriage had not yet left the Queen's borough and was not too far from Viscount Glint's residence. Anne and the other servants did not feel strange or embarrassed, and quickly told the coachman to turn into another street.

Audrey was busy until 9:40 when she finally arrived at Pacefield Street, walked into the second floor of the Loen Charity Student Aid Foundation, and entered her own director's office.

Watching her personal maid Anne and others tidying up the file rack or preparing black tea with the spring water they brought with them, Audrey opened the door of the attached small lounge with her golden retriever Susie, as if she wanted to examine her face again to determine whether she needed the maids' help to touch up her makeup.

During this process, Audrey glanced at the keyhole and asked Susie in a relaxed manner:

"Is my behavior unusual today?"

This was a habit she had developed in recent days, ever since Hvin Rambis disappeared!

She knew that the blessing from Mr. Fool was not permanent and could only last for a period of time. She had no way of foreseeing whether Hvin Rambis would come to find her or when he would come. She could not pray to Mr. Fool in advance and make corresponding preparations. Therefore, based on her understanding of psychology and mysticism and her cautious attitude, she not only reviewed her behavior three times a day to see if there were any abnormalities and whether there were too many coincidences in the things that happened to her, but also specifically told Susie to pay attention to her own state and be her own mirror.

This is to prevent being hypnotized or suggested by Hvin Rambis without realizing it!

Susie, the golden retriever, squatted beside him and thought seriously.

"have."

"..." Audrey's expression with a faint smile froze, and she looked at Susie, waiting for her explanation.

Susie moved her nose, looked around, and then continued:

“You had no plan to visit Viscount Glint when you left, but changed your route halfway.

"You have informed me of your general itinerary in the past few days, and you also said that you would discuss it with me first if you want to add or change the plan at the last minute."

After hearing Susie's answer, Audrey's expression became serious.

She still didn't think there was anything abnormal about this matter, but this situation was the most abnormal!

This gave her a near-certain conclusion:

Hvin Rambis had been here, just after he left, in front of the Grallint Mansion!

The other party has already made hints and hypnosis to eliminate all traces!

However, he did not "instruct" a dog to make it think that everything it saw was normal... Audrey subconsciously wanted to let Susie go out and pray to Mr. Fool herself, but she became hesitant.

Will my current behavior be monitored by Hvin Rambis? Will he be sitting somewhere in this room, watching me quietly... No, if that's the case, he would have already discovered something was wrong when I asked Susie just now. I pray that there won't be any worse results... Even if he is really here, Mr. Fool will be able to find out. I can promise future sacrifices and pray that He will directly bring down divine punishment... But why don't I want to pray or ask for help... Audrey stood there, with all kinds of thoughts in her mind, and instinctively wanted to escape.

This made her aware of the contradiction and discovered a little resistance in her heart.

From the perspective of psychology and mysticism, she had some vague guesses, and quickly gave up the idea of ​​asking for help, putting herself in the state of praying to the goddess normally without desiring a response.

This reduced much of her inner conflict.

Audrey suddenly became determined. She motioned for Susie to go out, then looked in the mirror and hypnotized herself in a low voice:

“You’re not asking for help, you’re just saying your daily prayers….

"You're not asking for help, you're just saying your daily prayers..."

After repeating this many times, the soul-stirring vortex of light green in Audrey's eyes slowly dissipated, and her eyes returned to normal.

She then raised her hands, clasped them between her mouth and nose, and whispered in ancient Hermetic language:

"A fool who does not belong to this era... I may have met Hvin Rambis..."

She did not mention asking for help, but simply described her discovery.

After waiting for a while, Audrey saw a deep red light emerge in front of her eyes, drowning her like a tide.

Suddenly, her thoughts became clear, and images flashed through her mind.

That was Hvin Rambis, who was sitting opposite her in the carriage, wearing a black three-piece suit;

That was the old man who gave her instructions in a gentle voice;

He was a demigod of the "audience" path whose pale blue eyes seemed to conceal endless wisdom and one whirlpool after another.

At the same time, those words rang in Audrey's ears again, making her remember everything that had happened before.

When the crimson light disappeared, what appeared before her eyes was a mottled ancient bronze table and a mysterious figure shrouded in gray mist, sitting on a high-backed chair at the top.

Amidst the emotions of fear, panic, and confusion, Audrey stood up, lifted her skirt, and saluted to the great being:

"Thank you for protecting me, Mr. Fool."

Klein nodded slightly and smiled approvingly:

"You handled it well."

Hearing this, Audrey suddenly felt relieved and no longer so frightened. She sat down and calmly described her experience in full.

As a Fool, Klein couldn’t discuss directly with Miss Justice, help her analyze, or give her advice. He could only smile and say:

"This is fate's test for you."

Test? Only by passing this test can I be qualified to become a demigod and protect the people I want to protect in the complicated situation of Backlund? Audrey "Justice" interpreted Mr. Fool's hint and nodded seriously:

"I see."

Klein didn't say anything more. He half sighed and half laughed:

"Go back and meet it."

Audrey was about to express her gratitude again when a deep red rose in front of her eyes, and everything she could see became blurry.

In a flash, she was back in the real world, but she no longer had forgotten or overlooked anything.

A test? Does it mean that I must resolve the danger from Hvin Rambis while ensuring that my secrets are not exposed? Even if I cause Hvin Rambis's death, I will not be suspected by the Psychological Alchemy Society afterwards? How can I do this... Audrey looked at the extremely beautiful blonde girl in the mirror, tilted her head slightly, and glanced diagonally across.

There was a large lounge in that direction, which belonged to the directors who were not employed by the Foundation. Just ten minutes ago, when Audrey was going up the stairs, she saw Mr. Dwayne Dantes inside.

…………

Above the gray fog, Klein tapped the edge of the mottled long table with his fingers and analyzed what happened to Miss Justice and Miss Judgment last night and this morning:

"This doesn't make sense. Adam has given me the Darkless Cross through Miss Judgment and the Magician. How could he not know who is behind them? What else do you need to test?

"Last night, I thought that the investigation into Miss Xio was purely an action of the King's faction. They just seconded the Mid-Sequence Beyonders from the Psychological Alchemy Society. For some reason, Adam did not share the matter of The Fool with the King's faction and the Witch Cult. After all, He still hoped that I could give some feedback...

"But now it seems that this temptation also has part of Adam's will, otherwise Hvin Rambis would not have gotten involved in this matter. Even to the 'Twilight Hermits', a saint is quite precious and important, and it is not so easy to be abandoned and sacrificed...

"What does Adam want to test? Is the action of testing Miss Judgment purely based on his own factors, or is it also influenced by the will of The Fool?

"If The Fool gets the Darkless Cross and realizes that the king's secret is related to Adam's plan, and still insists on having his subordinates investigate, then he is making an enemy of the Twilight Hermits. And Adam knows the true identity of Gehrman Sparrow, the Favored One...

"But, with Adam's ability, there's no need to test anything. He can just sit next to Miss Judgment and listen to her thoughts, and he'll be able to understand the real situation. There's no need to go through so much trouble...

"Unless He has already left Backlund, or, due to some taboo, dares not enter this metropolis again, and can only investigate through his subordinates...

"My warning to Ms. Arianna and the Church of Darkness worked. Did Adam sense the danger of God's coming?

"It is most likely that this is the case. Although He knew that Gehrman Sparrow was related to the 'Archon of Death', He probably had not yet realized that there was something wrong with the artificial Death God. Even the Artificial Death God Faction of the Spiritual Cult had not discovered this. Therefore, with the addition of the hidden authority, He did not know that the Goddess would not be able to descend for a long time...

"We have to deal with Hvin Rambis next. We must make sure Miss Justice is clear of any involvement and avoid suspicion."

Just as Klein was thinking this, he saw Miss Justice Audrey enter the board lounge through the corresponding prayer light, looking for Dwayne Dantès.

He quickly gathered his thoughts and returned to the real world.

PS: Update first and then revise, please give me a monthly ticket during the double period~

PS2: I recommend a book, "Losing Money to Be the Richest Man from Playing Games". It is a very interesting book. You can know the general content by looking at the title. It is a bit similar to the story in The Richest Tomato, where the writer tries hard to invest in bad projects and lose money. It is quite interesting.
