Prince Edessak Augustus? What kind of dangerous event that could lead to tragedy might he be involved in? Moreover, this matter seemed to have caught the attention of Mr. Fool! Justice Audrey instantly matched the name with the person, and became extremely worried and confused.
In her opinion, the things that Mr. Fool could watch were either extremely dangerous, extremely secretive, or had far-reaching impacts, and were definitely not simple. For example, the True Creator tried to use the dire conditions in Lanevus and the East District Factory District to descend on Backlund, Emperor Roselle’s Black Emperor card, the death of Duke Negan, and the Twilight Hermit Society.
By analogy with these examples, Audrey has every reason to believe that if not handled properly or not taken seriously enough, the major events involving Prince Edessak will inevitably bring about a very, very, very terrible "storm"!
Hmm... Prince Edessak hasn't bothered me for a long time. I was just glad and didn't think too much about it. Now it seems that there is something wrong... At the previous dance, he enthusiastically stopped me to chat about some boring topics and played self-righteous and clumsy humor. Just two or three days later, he became quite cold and even avoided me deliberately... I must find a chance to ask my father about him, but I can't show too much curiosity, otherwise he may agree to the royal family's marriage request... Audrey recalled some details and suddenly felt her shoulders become heavy.
She had always disliked Prince Edessak, including his two elder brothers, and had never thought of becoming a princess. The reason was very simple: believers of the "Goddess of Night" could not accept Augustus who believed in the "Lord of Storms" for generations. That meant that arrogance, conceit, contempt and extremism towards women were deeply ingrained in their bones and it was difficult to change them. This was the thing Audrey could not tolerate the most.
When Audrey thought about becoming a princess and being in an ancient, strict and extremely conservative environment, she felt that she would definitely go crazy and escape at all costs. Therefore, when faced with the princes' rather attentive flattery, she was not moved at all, and even felt very repulsive.
Edessac Augustus... I heard that his last name was a member of the royal family. I vaguely remember that he was a prince? What dangerous things would he do? I can't get in touch with him at all... Oh, by the way, you can ask Miss Audrey and Viscount Grallint for help, but you have to think of a reason in advance, so as not to let them suspect... Magician Fors frowned slightly and interpreted Mr. Fool's words.
Alger, the Hanged Man, was quite interested in this, but he did not dare to ask Mr. Fool, who was obviously only giving hints. He could only ponder for two seconds and said to Justice, Magician, and World:
"The atmosphere above the sea is not peaceful either. This may be linked to Backlund, just like those machines."
His words were completely groundless, and he was simply trying to exaggerate the danger so that the three Tarot Club members in Backlund would actively investigate.
...I have to say, Mr. Hanged Man cooperated really well...Klein, who was watching from the sidelines, immediately gave up the idea of letting The World say something similar.
The reason why he only mentioned Prince Edessak and not the lady with the sapphire ring who was suspected to have a "0" level seal, and not mentioning "0-08" and Ince Zangwill who might have been involved in this matter, was because he did not know the situation of those top-level seals that could even destroy a country. He could only make guesses that he was not completely sure of based on some subtle clues. He was afraid that if he told Miss Justice and Miss Magician the key points directly, they would be discovered by the target as soon as they conducted a targeted investigation.
This was also the reason why Klein did not find an opportunity to tell the "Mechanical Heart" about his own experience. Based on some speculations about the Sealed Artifact "0-08", he suspected that when he left Minsk Street and took a carriage to the Lever Church or the Steam Church, he would encounter a sudden and absolutely irresistible attack, such as a large-scale riot of the Sealed Artifacts in the underground area, or a fatal blow from a High-Sequence Powerhouse.
Only the shield of gray fog can prevent Klein from worrying about similar problems. He can inform Miss Justice and Miss Magician about this matter to a certain extent, and use them to make a softer, more roundabout, and less likely to be discovered reminder in advance.
In addition, Klein had another plan, which was to fade out of the stage as a supporting role among supporting roles, "leave" Backlund, change his appearance without anyone noticing, return quietly, and contact the "Mechanical Heart" outside the sight of the "0" level seal!
I hope it will be successful, and I hope there is a chance to catch Ince Zangwill! Well, the premise is that if he is indeed involved in this matter... Wait, in the process of tracking down Ince Zangwill, Mr. Azik had a conflict with MI9 and was secretly wanted, and MI9 has always been considered to be the pro-royal faction in the military... There are a series of coincidences around Prince Edessak, which are similar to the characteristics shown by the sealed object "0-08" before... This seems to confirm the existence of Ince Zangwill from the side...
Klein closed his eyes, and the pair of shiny leather boots and pale hands flashed back into his mind.
He leaned back in his chair, raised the corners of his mouth and said:
"Ladies and gentlemen, see you next week."

In Queens, in the luxurious villa of Earl Hall's family.
Audrey stood in front of the full-length mirror, staring at herself in a daze.
This tarot gathering brought both good news and bad news to her.
The good news is that she is about to get one of the main ingredients for the "Psychologist" potion.
Although she was no longer the ignorant girl who had bought some basic common sense from The Hanged Man for 1,000 pounds and knew the approximate prices of many extraordinary materials, she did not mind paying a premium for the Mirror Dragon's Eye.
After Duke Negan was assassinated, she had an urgent desire and motivation to improve her own sequence and obtain corresponding combat power. For this reason, she did not want to wait any longer and was willing to pay a certain price. As long as the materials appeared, as long as they were not too outrageous, she would accept them immediately to avoid being disturbed by accidents.
This is like a precious piece of jewelry that is prized by many noble ladies, or a rare horse with a unique bloodline that is favored by men. The corresponding premium is inevitable. Sometimes, it is not impossible to double or triple the original price... Moreover, Fors is busy in the middle, contacting teachers, and I must not let her waste time and take risks. Hmm... She doesn't know that I am "Justice"... Audrey thought indifferently.
As for the bad news, it was undoubtedly about Prince Edessak, which made Audrey unusually worried.
Fortunately, Mr. World got the news and Mr. Fool gave a reminder, otherwise, I don’t know how bad things would have gotten… Audrey, with such good conditions, you can definitely solve this problem! Come on! The girl drew a crimson moon in front of the figure in the mirror, trying to make herself optimistic.
Then, she calmed down, went out to the piano room, and prepared to participate in the next piano lesson, as if nothing had happened.
This was because Lord and Countess Hall and Herbert Hall would not be home until dinner. She had no one to ask for information from and could only tell herself to stay calm, composed and patient.
Before the tutor arrived, Audrey casually played some music, cleansing her soul with the beautiful melody.
When the playing came to an end, she found that the big golden retriever Susie had opened the door and came in at some point, squatting beside her, with the gold-rimmed glasses still hanging around her neck like a decoration.
"Audrey, what problem are you having? Your piano playing tells me that you are troubled by something." Susie suddenly said.
Hmm... Audrey was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer.
She suddenly felt that having a "mind-reading dog" at home might not be a good thing...
…………
Inside the camp with a bonfire burning.
With his eyes closed, Derrick Berg quietly recalled what happened at the Tarot Party, making sure that he had not forgotten the memory of repeatedly experiencing the same life.
After an unknown amount of time, he opened his eyes with anticipation and looked around. However, what he saw were the same flames and teammates as in his memory.
At this moment, Demon Hunter Colin, who was sitting cross-legged against a stone pillar, spoke in a deep voice:
"Set off in 50 lightning strikes."
…At this moment, Derrick was certain that everything he had experienced before was not a dream or an illusion.
…………
Cherwood District, Minsk Street 15.
Klein went down to the first floor and sat in the living room, feeling the warmth radiating from the fireplace.
He rocked quietly in the armchair, not reading a newspaper, a magazine, or a book.
Everything was so peaceful and silent until the doorbell rang.
Klein, wearing a home shirt and cashmere vest, stood up and walked outside. He found that the visitor was somewhat unexpected.
He opened the door and laughed:
"Good afternoon, Emlyn. Shouldn't you be helping out at the Harvest Church at this time?"
The person who came was Emlyn White, a handsome and feminine vampire with his hair combed back at an angle.
Upon hearing Klein's greeting, the arrogant fellow's expression froze for a moment, and it took him a long time to recover.
"I have something to consult you about, Sherlock, Moriarty, Detective!" Emlyn spat out word by word.
After inviting him into the living room, Klein returned to his armchair and asked with a smile:
"What is it? The consultation fee is 1 pound, but it cannot exceed 1 hour."
Emlyn White didn't pay attention to his words and said thoughtfully:
“A big shot asked me to do something… Although that thing can indirectly help me solve hidden dangers, it also contains high risks.
"I don't have many friends, and I'm afraid my parents will worry. You're a knowledgeable Beyonder detective... What's your suggestion? Reject or accept?"
Solve the hidden danger? Clear the psychological suggestion? Klein said after careful consideration:
"With just the word 'thing', I can't give any advice."
Emlyn White was silent for several seconds, gritted his teeth, and lowered his voice:
"It's related to the 'Fool'..."
“Huh?” Klein almost raised his hand to pick his ears.
