Chapter 259 Hidden Dangers



In the living room, Countess Caitlin sat on the sofa, with the deputy butler, the butler's assistant and the butler in charge of corresponding affairs standing in front of her.

She gave instructions for tonight's dinner in an orderly and orderly manner until her daughter Audrey came over.

"Mom, I have something to tell you." Audrey glanced at the other people in the room.

On the way to the living room, she felt the ground shake slightly twice, but found nothing else unusual.

The Countess looked around and nodded slightly.

"Come in later."

The living room quickly became quiet, and even the big golden retriever Susie was sent out the door by Audrey's eyes.

"You should always stay by my side and learn how to handle affairs. Although your family courses are not lacking in such content, how to effectively combine them with reality is still a profound knowledge." The Countess, who was over fifty but looked only in her early thirties, smiled and taught, "Okay, my little angel, what do you want?"

Audrey tried to put on the elegant smile that she had practiced repeatedly in etiquette class, but she found herself too nervous to raise the corners of her mouth.

She pursed her dry lips and said directly:

"Mom, I'm hiding something from you."

"Hmm?" The Countess tilted her head slightly, waiting for further explanation.

Audrey's words were awkward at first, but then became fluent:

"I am already a Beyonder, a person with magical powers, transformed by taking a magic potion."

The blond Countess Caitlin raised her eyebrows slightly and responded without any surprise:

"I know.

"Your father and I both know."

"Ah?" Audrey didn't know how to continue.

The Countess smiled and said:

"You took so many magical materials from the treasury, are you naive enough to think that your father and I didn't notice?

"Around your father, in this villa, and in the family's territory, there are many extraordinary people. Some of them are from a simple employment relationship, some are sent by the Goddess Church, or some are members of the Hall family. His Majesty the King acquiesced to these things, and we also acquiesced to your little adventure. Alas, you will grow up and mature after all. Your father and I can't always protect you under our wings. There will always be times when you need to face certain things alone. Having additional magical abilities to assist you can make your trump cards better.

"Well, according to the common sense I know, the initial stage should not be that dangerous. It will take one, two, or even three years to improve. Therefore, your father and I are not in a hurry. We plan to wait until you officially come of age before giving you a few warnings and letting you stay where you are now."

No, Mom, your common sense is wrong. You don't know the existence of role-playing. If I gather all the materials, I can become a "psychologist" of Sequence 7 before the New Year... Moreover, I don't want to stop. The death of Duke Negan made me realize that this world is not as stable and peaceful as I thought. I want to have the strength to protect you at the critical moment...

Mr. Fool gradually revived, and evil gods tried to descend one after another. Although I was not mature enough and lacked the necessary knowledge, I could still sense the unspeakable crisis hidden in these things... Audrey had always been very clear that the extraordinary materials she had taken from the treasury were an unavoidable problem, but she was lucky enough to think that her parents did not know the specific functions of those items, and at most suspected that she was getting deeper and deeper into the circle of occult enthusiasts.

After unloading the burden on her heart, she avoided her mother's instructions and said:

"Mom, I later joined a secret organization that was more academic and did not worship evil gods. Please forgive me for not being able to tell you its name and details. I have already made an oath for this."

Without waiting for the Countess to ask, she got to the point:

"I received a message today that the commoner girl that Prince Edessak fell in love with was a witch. I don't know what conspiracy they are planning."

There is actually no necessary connection between her two sentences. The former refers to the "Psychological Alchemy Society", while the source of the latter information is the Tarot Club and Mr. "Fool".

Through this word order arrangement, every word she said is true and can be confirmed by divination, but it will make people believe that her information comes from the secret organization "Psychological Alchemy Society".

The smile on Caitlin's face gradually disappeared, and she asked solemnly:

"Witch?"

She didn't know much about the mysterious world, but the mere mention of the term made her feel evil and uneasy.

Audrey nodded quickly and said:

"Yes, a 'Pleasure Witch'.

"And what scares me even more is that her name is Triss Chick."

"What's the problem?" the Countess asked doubtfully.

"A member of that organization had seen the name Chick in an ancient book." Audrey said the lie she had just made up. No matter her tone, words, facial expressions, or body movements, there were no flaws. "In the Fourth Epoch or even earlier, it belonged to the original witch."

Then, she added solemnly:

"That's an evil god!"

Countess Caitlin didn't understand what the "Original Witch" meant, but she knew very well what the evil god meant.

She suddenly became restless and asked back quickly:

"are you sure?"

“…Not sure.” Audrey believed Mr. Fool without a doubt, but she couldn’t say that on the surface. “No matter what, I think it’s necessary to ask the royal family, no, ask the Beyonders of the Goddess Church to make some confirmation. When it comes to matters involving the Heretic God, it’s always right to be cautious.”

Caitlin looked up at her daughter in surprise:

"...Audrey, you have grown up."

If the matter was not urgent, Audrey would have pretended to be reserved when she heard such praise, and would have been modest and coquettish at first, and then returned to her room proudly, and even did a little twirl dance.

But now, she couldn't care about these things at all, and was busy letting her worry and nervousness clearly surface:

"Mom, can you help me keep it secret? I heard that the Beyonders in the church and the royal family hate secret organizations that don't belong to them. Well, you could say that it was Dad who got the news. He should have many channels."

Caitlin stood up and gave her daughter a hug:

“Don’t worry, your father and I will not let you get involved in such things.

"Your father won't be back until the evening. I will have the hidden guards appear first and pretend that he delivered the message. Then I will go find the Beyonder sent by the Goddess Church to protect our family."

"Okay!" Audrey responded happily.

At this time, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling exhausted and weak from the high tension she had maintained for a period of time.

…………

Watching several flaming meteorites falling at high speed and covering the entire forest, Klein actually felt powerless to resist and was waiting to die in despair.

Even if he continued to use fire jumping, he had no way to escape from the woods and the dangerous core area before the "meteor shower" hit the ground. And with the fragile body of a "fortune teller" extraordinary person, it was impossible for him to withstand the meteorite.

Even zombies that cannot be injured by pistols will be directly turned into pieces or meat paste under such an "attack", and the color will be charred... The flames are jumping... The yellowish-white light is reflected in the depths of his eyes. Klein, who has never given up, quickly came up with an idea.

In this situation where seconds counted, he did not hesitate and decided to do it as soon as he thought of it.

Bang!

After calculating the distance silently, Klein snapped his fingers, igniting the remaining flames in the matchbox at the same time.

A red flame rose up and quickly enveloped his figure.

Silently, Klein disappeared from the spot and appeared in the flames above the meteorite.

brush!

The meteor was falling rapidly, and as soon as he jumped out of the flames, he had left the meteorite and was trapped in the surrounding air with a terrifyingly high temperature.

At the moment he jumped with his extraordinary ability, Klein was not afraid of ordinary flames, even if the temperature was a little high. But after he came out of that state, he could only try his best to control the flames to avoid himself, but he would still be burned and burned to death.

In addition, hot air is not within his "jumping" range.

Bang!

Klein snapped his fingers again, causing the critical air to explode instantly.

He flashed into another flame, trying to avoid the first wave of impact caused by the meteorite hitting the ground.

However, no matter how he tried or how he took risks, he still could not escape danger. He only had two choices: either jump into the woods that were away from the front and endure the impact of the falling meteorite, or jump around like performing acrobatics above and wait for the "mushroom cloud" to swallow him up.

At that moment, Klein seemed to see himself torn into pieces, his body charred and still burning.

A thought flashed through his mind, and suddenly there was a change in front of his eyes: the red became redder, the yellow became yellower, and the white became whiter. Various colors overlapped richly, depicting a strange oil painting!

The "oil painting" seemed to be detached from the real world, allowing Klein to watch the meteorite "slowly" fall and hit the ground like a bystander.

The forest was destroyed in an instant, the ground shook noticeably a few times, and smoke mixed with fire rose up to form a strange mushroom-shaped cloud.

Such an impact did not affect Kline, because he could not enter the "oil painting world" where color blocks overlapped and the appearance was static.

…Klein was stunned at first, then he saw a figure beside him.

The figure was of medium build, with bronze skin. He wore a black long dress and a half-high silk hat. He had a pair of brown eyes that revealed a sense of vicissitudes of life. His facial features were quite soft, and there was a small black mole under his right ear.

"Mr. Azik!" Klein exclaimed happily.

He finally knew what scene the revelation he got from divination corresponded to.

It corresponds to the present!

The "sea of ​​blood" represents a situation where one is doomed to die, and "being pulled up by Mr. Azik" means that one is saved by him!

Just as he finished speaking, Azik waved his hand, grabbed his arm, and walked towards the depths where various rich colors overlapped!

…………

The plain-looking quill no longer wrote on its own, and its surface had dulled a bit.

The serious middle-aged man with only one eye left held it and wrote quickly in a psychic state:

"Azik Eggers obviously hasn't recovered all of his memories and strength yet. His attempt to travel through the spirit world and the astral world happened to go wrong at this time due to hidden dangers in this area. As a result, he and Sherlock Moriarty landed not far from Ince Zangwill and his friends."
