Audrey knew that she was being affected by some extraordinary power in her mind and spirit. Only with the "angel blessing" provided by Mr. Fool did she miraculously get rid of that state. So she decided to explain a few things, paralyze the other party by exposing a small secret, conceal more critical things, and exchange for greater trust.
The reason she did this was not because she did not believe in angels, but because she felt that she could observe the other person and the other person could also observe her.
Although she was always "hiding" in the "darkness" and was not treated as an extraordinary person, and would not arouse suspicion if she behaved normally, she was still willing to pay more attention to the members of the Psychological Alchemy Society. After all, they were all professionals, and she was only halfway into this circle. Her experience was not rich and comprehensive enough, and it was very likely that she would expose certain problems in some places that she had not discovered.
In this case, why not take this opportunity to "confess" and completely dispel the doubts of some members of the Psychological Alchemy Society.
——She called the angel’s act of coming down and wrapping herself with layers of wings a “blessing.”
After hearing Audrey's answer, both Eslant and Hampres briefly showed surprised expressions. For a moment, they doubted their own abilities.
Hilbert, however, curled the corners of his mouth and smiled slightly, without any unusual reaction.
He nodded with satisfaction and said in a soft voice:
“Your honesty is appreciated.
"Anything else you want to say?"
Audrey shook her head in a daze:
"there is none left."
Hilbert thought for a moment and asked a few more questions:
"At which Beyonder gathering did you buy the Audience formula? From whom did you buy it? Where did you get the ingredients for mixing the potion?"
Audrey's eyes turned slightly, and she made a reminiscing expression:
“That Beyonder gathering must remain secret.
"I can't see what the person who sells the 'audience' formula looks like, but from his words and conversation, I can tell that he is a believer of the Lord of Storms."
Hearing this, Hilbert nodded slightly, as if he remembered something.
Audrey continued:
"Most of the ingredients for my 'audience' potion were found in my family's treasury, and the rest came from exchanges with a few friends."
Two doses of Audience potion… she added silently.
Most of them were found in their own treasure house... Hilbert, Eslant and the other two chewed on this sentence and were speechless for a moment.
After a few seconds, Hilbert nodded to Eslant and Hampres, indicating that he had no problem.
After receiving the same reply, the slight golden color in his eyes faded away quickly, and the vertical pupils in his eyes also faded quickly.
Hilbert fiddled with the candle core again, causing the flame to jump suddenly.
In the instantaneous alternation between light and darkness, Audrey discovered that the strange force that was affecting her suddenly disappeared.
She suppressed her dazed look and replaced it with one of doubt and inquiry.
"I didn't expect you to be a 'spectator'." Hilbert chuckled.
"Ah?" Audrey showed her surprise and panic at the right time.
Knowing what kind of emotional response should be had in different situations, and knowing what kind of detailed facial expressions and body movements should be associated with different emotional responses, are the basic skills of a "mind reader".
Hilbert smiled and said:
"Don't be nervous, we don't mind this matter, this was just the final inspection.
"Congratulations, you have passed all the tests. Now, you are an official member of our Psychological Alchemy Society."
"Okay..." Audrey hesitated and smiled, "It feels like a dream."
She immediately stood up, holding up her skirt, bowed to Hilbert and the others, and said with a smile:
"We are companions now."
Seeing such a noble and radiant girl being so polite, Islant and the others could no longer sit still. They stood up at the same time and returned the greeting.
After both parties sat down again, Hilbert organized his words and said:
"Ms. Audrey, let me now formally introduce you to the Psychological Alchemy Society."
"Okay." Audrey smiled and said, "Just call me by my name."
Hilbert nodded, leaned back, raised his right leg, clasped his hands and said:
“The original Psychological Alchemy Society was just a seminar for enthusiasts who all believed that the mind possessed infinite power and infinite magic.
"Later, the seminar obtained a treasure map and found the remains left by Hermes."
"Hermes in Hermes?" Audrey asked with interest.
"Yes, he is one of the earliest masters of mysticism. The ancient Hermetic language he created has the magical power to directly resonate with the power of nature. He was active in the dark Second Age. At that time, humans were just servants and slaves of the giants." Hilbert said with reverence.
He exhaled lightly and said:
"The original members of the Psychological Alchemy Society found many things in the ruins and discovered that Hermes was a master of mysticism in the spiritual field. The object of his research was the giant dragon that ruled the sky in the Second Age. To be more precise, it was the giant dragon of the spiritual family.
"The information he left behind shows that the Psychic Dragons have gone a long way in this field and have achieved achievements equal to those of gods."
I know that Angreweed, the "Dragon of Imagination", is an ancient god... Audrey thought with a little complacency.
Hilbert sighed:
“Those materials laid the foundation and direction for our Psychological Alchemy Society’s research.
“We believe that the mind holds many secrets, each of which is hidden in a very deep place and difficult to grasp. Oh, please forgive me for using the adjective "deep", in my opinion, this is the most appropriate.
"If you make the slightest mistake while exploring those secrets, you will suffer irreparable damage. Audrey, you must remember that you must be cautious in this regard."
After Audrey nodded, he continued:
“If we can figure out the secrets of the mind, we can tap into the power hidden deep in our consciousness and accomplish many miraculous things. On the other hand, we can influence or even control the minds of others.
"After reaching this level, the ocean of collective subconsciousness is ahead. That is the place we most desire. Of course, the description of collective subconsciousness is not accurate enough. I prefer to call it the spiritual world of all living things. It has an obscure and wonderful connection with the spiritual world."
"If we can master this spiritual world, what kind of extraordinary abilities will we have?" Audrey showed her curiosity and shallowness in this regard at the right time.
Hilbert smiled and said:
“You should have noticed some wonderful phenomena in the real world. When we want to get a certain object, it will appear at the right time. When we want to visit a friend, he will knock on the door at the right time. When we desire something to happen, it will open at the right time.
"You may say it's a coincidence, but sometimes there are too many coincidences. Our research shows that such coincidences often come from unconscious, magical mental influences.
“When you can master the spiritual world, that is, the ocean of collective subconsciousness, you can master ‘coincidence’ and make the wonderful phenomena that appear by chance become the echo of your mind, and make it appear whenever you want it to appear.”
"This, this is amazing." Audrey had heard "Sun" mention the horror of the "Nightmare Dragon" before, but the other party's explanation was far less detailed than Hilbert's.
Hilbert chuckled and said:
"At our level, it's better not to discuss such profound issues. It's easy to lose yourself. I will continue to introduce the Psychological Alchemy Society.
"The discovery of the ruins marked the establishment of the organization. The initial members originally hoped to maintain the previous state of pure academic discussion, but they always need help when they encounter problems, and the same is true when they lack items and research materials. Therefore, the Psychological Alchemy Society gradually developed rules and transformed into a real secret organization.
"However, compared with other secret organizations, our structure and relationships are still quite loose."
"That's exactly what I like," Audrey said.
Hilbert finished explaining the main rules and concluded:
“When you reach a higher level, you will be able to meet other members.
"I will now give you the Sequence 8 'Mind Reader' potion."
As expected, they had prepared a "mind reader" potion... Audrey was both relieved and proud.
After seeing the bottle of psychedelic potion, she hesitated and said:
"I want to go back and take it again."
Still a little bit distrustful of us, and still needs to be confirmed... Hilbert interpreted Audrey's thoughts and responded with a smile:
"good.
"With your performance, there won't be any problem drinking the Mind Reader potion."
Audrey smiled, thanked him, and then tried to ask:
"Can you give me the recipe for the 'Psychiatrist' potion? I want to gather the ingredients in advance and not waste time."
... Others join the Psychological Alchemy Society, in addition to hoping to obtain the formula, isn't it just to apply for the corresponding extraordinary materials from within the organization? Who would say nonchalantly, "I want to collect them in advance myself?" Hilbert, Hampres and others looked at the girl with a normal tone and were speechless for a moment.
After a few seconds, Hilbert forced a smile and said:
“Let me help you apply first.
"Normally this requires merit, and merit comes from the tasks we assign, your research contributions, and the new information and items you collect."
"Okay, I'll try my best." Audrey said briskly.
After leaving Islant's house, she was quiet all the way and didn't say much until she entered the room and briefly sent away her personal maid Annie and others. Then she turned her head and smiled at the golden retriever:
"Susie, you have your potion~!"
Unfortunately, the colorful lizard dragon that Alfred found was of no use and could only be exchanged for money... Audrey sighed in her heart.
Susie looked at the bottle of "Mind Reader" potion and wagged her tail happily.
Audrey playfully hung a pair of gold-rimmed glasses around her neck.
…………
In the Hillston district, at the home of Isengard Stanton.
Klein was invited to share breakfast, along with Kaslana.
After taking a bite of the soft potato pancake, Klein praised:
"Mr. Stanton, you are an excellent cook."
Isengard, with gray hair on his temples, smiled and said:
"This is a characteristic of Lunburg. For the Beyonders of the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, versatility is a common characteristic. Sequence 6 and above is called 'Scholar'.
"The corresponding potion can easily make people lose control. Until now, I have not been able to advance to the next level."
