After following Ernes Boyar aimlessly for a distance, Emlyn gradually began to think about giving up.

He glanced at the increasingly heavy rain outside the arcade and couldn't help thinking:

“How should we punish Ernes? Although he probably did this according to orders or hints, it’s still abominable!

“As for Lord Nibais… I don’t have the ability now. When I become a marquis or a duke, I will definitely make him pay the price!

"Miss Magician has already completed her exploration of the abandoned castle. I don't know if it has been monitored by the vampires sent by Lord Nibais... Judging from her tone, description, and the feedback from Mr. Fool, it should not be... Could it be that Lord Nibais did not send vampires to the vicinity of the castle? But why would he need to test it? Or was it because of some problems that were missed?"

As his thoughts raced, Emlyn felt that he should consult with someone about how to punish Ernes Boyar. He really lacked similar experience.

Subconsciously, the first person that came to his mind was "The Hanged Man". This senior member of the Tarot Club was experienced and reliable in all kinds of matters and never let the other members down.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Emlyn rejected this choice because it involved testing each other within the vampire clan. Disclosing it to the Tarot Club members before the results were out would damage his pride and the overall image of the vampire clan!

For the same reason, he ruled out the candidate "the world".

Of course, he felt that he should be able to guess what advice the "world" would give:

Kill!

There's no need to go to this extent... Emlyn muttered in his heart, and while aimlessly following behind Ernes Boyar, he expanded the candidates for discussion to the real world.

Then he found that he didn't have many targets to choose from and he had almost no friends.

After ruling out his parents who were also vampires, the only two people he could consider were Father Utravsky of the Harvest Church and Sherlock Moriarty, a great detective with a mysterious origin and many methods.

"Sherlock has left Backlund and hasn't returned yet. Sigh, I can only look for the priest tomorrow, but I can't be so direct..." Emlyn made a quick decision and walked past Ernes Boyar who had entered the watch shop and walked to the end of the arcade, where several rental carriages were waiting.

After getting on the carriage and feeling the wheels turning, Emlyn casually cast his gaze toward the window and saw more and more rain hitting the glass densely, leaving streaks towards the bottom.

In his blurry vision, carriages drove past.

…………

Audrey withdrew her gaze from the rain outside the carriage window, glanced at her personal maid Anne, and had a silent conversation with Susie who was squatting next to her.

She said with her eyes, facial expressions and subtle body movements:

I'm almost home and I'm a little nervous.

Susie wagged her tail, raised her paw, fiddled with the gold-rimmed glasses hanging around her neck, and combined the color changes of her etheric and mental bodies to express her meaning:

Don't worry too much. Ms. Islant, who appears to be a psychologist but is actually only a "mind reader", cannot see through your lies.

Audrey nodded slightly, watching the carriage drive into the Hall family's luxurious villa and stop in front of the covered foyer.

Since joining the Loen Charity Student Aid Fund, she has been spending less and less time at home during the day. She originally planned to meet Ms. Islant from the Psychological Alchemy Society at No. 22, Pacefield Street, North District, but since Mr. Dwayne Dantes has gone to the South Continent and is no longer in the foundation, there is no need for that.

In her own study, Audrey met Ms. Islamate Osisleka, who had waist-length black hair and a baby face.

"I'm sorry. After returning to Backlund, I've been busy partying with friends, and later joined the 'Loen Charity Student Aid Fund'. I didn't meet you until today." After leaving Susie outside the door, Audrey bowed gracefully, showing her attitude.

She actually did this on purpose, dragging it out for almost a month, so that when she digested the "Psychologist" potion and was promoted to "Hypnotist" it would seem reasonable, a sign of genius rather than a problematic progress.

Islam replied indifferently:

"I heard that you are working hard for those children who are eager for knowledge. Your virtue is more dazzling than diamonds."

Audrey gestured for the other party to sit down, walked to the single sofa and said, "Hmm":

"The situation of those children is something I have never seen before. There is always a voice in my heart urging me to do something. Ms. Islant, if you have time, you can go to different schools with me and the staff of the Loen Charity Education Fund to see the situation of most children in this world."

At this point, she chuckled and said in a self-deprecating manner:

"Sorry, I've been accustomed to bringing up this topic recently because I want more nobles and wealthy people to participate in this charity, donate more money, and help more children."

After hearing Audrey's words, Eslant responded a little uncomfortably:

"I will do that, and I will also donate some money to the 'Roen Charity Student Aid Fund'."

"No, I don't want to force you to donate. It must be an absolutely voluntary act from the heart. I just hope you can go and take a look, and then tell the people around you, including the members of the Psychological Alchemy Society, about the situation of those children and their possible future." Audrey shook her head and rejected Eslant's proposal.

"Okay." Eslant nodded slightly in agreement, and then felt that this matter was full of an inexplicable sense of absurdity:

It seems that Miss Audrey's real intention is to raise funds from the Psychological Alchemy Society.

But this is a secret and extraordinary underground organization!

This is essentially no different from raising funds from the Aurora Club!

Audrey did not discuss the matter of the "Loen Charity Student Aid Fund" anymore, and instead said:

"Ms. Eslant, I have something to tell you."

"What?" Islant "read" solemnity, joy and pride from the other party's emotions and actions.

Audrey smiled faintly and said:

"I have become a 'hypnotist'."

"..." At this moment, Islant suspected that he had been hypnotized by the other party.

Although she knew that Miss Audrey had obtained the formula for the "Hypnotist" potion before, how long had it been?

"You should be able to confirm that I'm not lying." Audrey smiled slightly.

Eslant came back to his senses and asked in surprise and doubt:

"You seem to have an unusual experience?"

"Just be brave enough to apply it." Audrey said something that couldn't be more true.

Eslant frowned slightly, hesitated and said:

"You want the formula for a Sequence 5 potion?"

"Yes, what do I need to do or what do I need to pay?" Audrey did not hide her purpose.

Eslant glanced at the beautiful blond lady opposite him and said carefully:

"This is not something I can decide. I will report it and arrange for you to meet with Hilbert and Stephen as soon as possible."

She was referring to psychologist and jewelry designer Hilbert Alucard and furniture businessman Stephen Hampres.

It was obvious that among their group of Psychological Alchemy members, Islant was in a subordinate position.

Audrey was not surprised by Eslant's reaction, but that didn't mean there was nothing wrong with his handling of the matter:

A Sequence 6 Beyonder who aspires to be promoted is a member worthy of respect in any secret organization, even in the Orthodox Church, and is qualified to meet directly with the top leaders!

In other words, after being promoted to "Hypnotist", Audrey has become an elite among the middle-level members of the Psychological Alchemist Society. Her next goal is to become a quasi-senior level member. The people she needs to meet should be the members of the Psychological Alchemist Society's review panel, not Hilbert, Stephen and others.

As the thought flashed through her mind, Audrey deliberately released a little displeasure.

Islant keenly caught this signal and quickly explained:

“The meeting with Hilbert and Stephen is to confirm your status, and after that, a certain committee member will talk to you.

"In fact, with your current position, you should have led a team and recruited members, but your identity, status, and daily environment made us cancel this plan, fearing that it would affect your daily life."

Committee member... I wonder how many members of the Psychological Alchemy Association's Jury in Backlund there are... Could it be that royal advisor, Mr. Hvin Rambis? Audrey nodded thoughtfully and said:

"I understand and will wait for your arrangements."

She immediately changed the subject, and asked curiously with a slight turn of her eyes:

"Ms. Eslant, do you know what the Sequence 5 potion for the Audience pathway is called?"

Seeing the blond noble lady unconsciously revealing her girlish demeanor, Islant breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"I heard Hilbert mention it once. It's called 'Dream Walker'."

"Dream walker"... This is a little different from what I imagined. Or maybe this "dream" is just a metaphor, and the more accurate term should be subconscious walker? Audrey did not hide that she was thinking and analyzing, and then directed the topic to various knowledge in the field of psychology.

After dinner at Islant's, she escorted the lady out of the hall and into the carriage.

At this time, it was dark outside, the wind was howling, and the rain was pouring.

…………

Amid the pounding rain, howling winds and pitch-black night, a passenger ship powered by a combination of sail and steam is sailing in a safe channel on the raging sea.

Klein has left the southern continent and returned to Disi Bay in the guise of Dwayne Dantès.

As the ship was shaking, he suddenly woke up, got out of bed, walked to the window of the first-class living room and looked outside.

In the deep night with raindrops flying everywhere, a huge three-masted sailing ship covered in pure black quietly sailed over.

There were lanterns hanging on both sides of it. It was nearly a hundred meters long and had three black canvases hanging on it.

On the deck, facing away from the cabin, stood a mottled stone chair two or three meters high, but no one was sitting there at the moment.

This is the "Black Emperor", the symbol of Nast, the "King of the Five Seas", the "Black Emperor"!
