How could it not harm my father if I knew his trump card? This would at least have a negative impact on the things he was trying to promote or oppose... Audrey, floating in the air of the spiritual world, looked at the "island of consciousness" below, and her thoughts were calmer than she expected.
Then, she suddenly understood one thing, which was why Hvin Rambis manipulated Kalon to commit suicide.
Audrey has always been concerned about this matter and has learned different information from different aspects. She has a relatively clear grasp of the overall situation, but she is always confused about what purpose the manipulator behind the scenes wants to achieve.
This trap seemed to be aimed at the Conservative Party's purse, Baron Sinderas. As long as any link in the whole thing went wrong, the big banker would be very likely to be exposed and dealt with by the official Extraordinary Organization. However, in reality, it lacked the backup plan that an excellent conspiracy should have. When Dwayne Dantes did not play by the rules, the careful planning was immediately disintegrated, and no effective compensation was organized. It really did not seem like the work of a "spectator" high-sequence strongman.
As a more experienced "audience", Audrey had long sensed a sense of disharmony. Today, after hearing Hvin Rambis' own words, she suddenly realized the essence of the previous frame-up:
Hvin Rambis didn't care whether he succeeded in overthrowing Baron Syndras or not, he had already gotten what he wanted.
As he just said, there is a large degree of rift within the kingdom between the New Party and the Conservative Party!
Hvin Rambis said that he wanted to make up for this problem, but in reality, his purpose was to increase the gap and create a rift!
Why did she do this? Audrey controlled the "Mind Island" and did not let it show any doubts.
She immediately responded to Hvin Rambis's words:
"I understand your concerns about the situation in the kingdom, and I will try my best to do it."
As soon as she finished speaking, the gloomy Hvin Rambis on the "Island of the Soul" put down his right hand that was pressing on his forehead, and Hvin Rambis, who was sitting on the sofa, smiled with relief and said:
"You are indeed a noble girl full of sympathy and compassion."
After saying this, the old man in striped blue-gray trousers put down his right leg, leaned forward slightly, and his eyes became a little deeper:
"Given your status and daily environment, you will forget me and only remember Hilbert, Stephen, Eslant and others. If there is anything, you will pass it on through them...
"When there is something extremely important to report, you will subconsciously visit me, asking for academic advice... When you enter my house, your lost memory will be restored..."
As Hvin Rambis said this, he also opened his mouth on Audrey's "Mind Island" and began to repeat. The corresponding "rock" deformed and quickly sank into the ground, sinking into the subconscious realm.
At this moment, Audrey felt like she was split into two people:
One was formed by the "Island of the Mind". She could no longer remember the appearance and name of the old man in front of her. She only knew that she came to Stephen Hampres's house, met a member of the Psychological Alchemy Association's jury, received praise related to "acting method", and got a new task;
The other one floats below the spiritual sky and remembers everything that happened before very clearly, but with fewer emotional changes and more optimistic rather than gloomy.
Audrey was extremely certain that the one in the air was the most essential self-consciousness, so there was no confusion. She took "her" as the main body, controlling the other self, and stood up in a daze and said:
"Yes, sir."
After responding, she quickly straightened up, like a puppet controlled by invisible strings, and walked towards the entrance step by step, opened the door and walked out.
The moment she closed the door, the her in the air of her spiritual world and the her corresponding to the "island of consciousness" suddenly merged into one, and they were no longer distinguishable from each other.
The instantaneous fusion of two somewhat different memories caused Audrey to be confused for several seconds, but with a lot of experience in treatment and hypnosis, she was able to quickly and skillfully sort out the primary and secondary, the true and false, and reconstruct every detail of what had happened before.
What powerful mind reading and hypnosis... It is through the sea of collective subconsciousness that it directly enters my mental body and even my spiritual body to exert influence... Although with the blessing of the angel "Fool", when Audrey recalled what happened just now, it was still like looking at old photos, yellowed and faded, as if many years had passed.
I can do the same in the future! Mr. Fool's angel's blessing is really powerful! Humph, I will only tell you about my father's attitude on unimportant matters! Audrey's mood improved as her thoughts flashed.
…………
Woo!
The steam locomotive, spewing a large amount of smoke, dragged carriage after carriage and drove into Backlund Station.
After several days of traveling, Klein finally returned to the capital of all cities.
He looked like Dwayne Dantès, wearing a top hat, formal suit, and holding a gold-studded cane. He slowly left the first-class carriage and stepped firmly onto the platform.
Behind him followed a young man who was obviously of mixed race, about 1.75 meters tall, carrying two suitcases. He was none other than the secret doll Enzo. Of course, this "winner" had changed his name to Enuni, which was more characteristic of the southern continent. In the future, he would be the person for the newly rich man and arms dealer Dwayne Dantes to contact clients from the southern continent. All less critical businesses would be handled by him, and Dwayne Dantes would no longer have to travel back and forth between East and West Balam.
Of course, this was just a cover-up to the outside world. In essence, it was Klein himself who was running around.
His initial plan was to send a few believers to East and West Balam in the name of "Sea God" Kalvetuwa to do small-scale transactions on his behalf, which might be frequent in the future. After all, Danitz was now a pirate with a great reputation in the Five Seas and a bounty of over ten thousand. He also had a close relationship with Gehrman Sparrow, and it would be easy for him to be suspicious if he kept helping Dwayne Dantès.
After leaving the station, Klein took a carriage back to 160 Böklund Street.
At this time, it was already late in the evening. The gas lamps on both sides of the road were already lit, and the lights in Dwayne Dantès's mansion were also brightly lit. Butler Walter and housekeeper Tanea led the male servants, maids, gardeners, coachmen and others out, standing on both sides, waiting for their employers.
——After arriving at Disi Bay and buying a steam train ticket, Klein sent a telegram back to Backlund, telling the butler when he would return. However, he also told the butler not to send a carriage to the station to pick him up. After all, it was normal for steam trains to be late in this era, and it was not impossible for them to be late until the next morning.
Glancing at the servants who were standing in standard postures and with respectful attitudes, Klein nodded secretly and walked through them, sighing silently:
This is a bit aristocratic. The butler didn't slack off when the employer was away...
When he reached the door, he nodded slightly to Walter and Tanya and said:
"Thank you for your hard work during this period."
"This is what we should do." Walter and Tanya saluted together.
Klein's gaze then turned to Richardson, the valet next to him, and he found that this good-looking mixed-race guy had a pale face and kept stealing glances at Enuni, the new valet who was following behind his employer.
Klein chuckled and nodded at him.
“You did a good job before, but some matters involve the business of the southern continent and need to be handled by Enuni.
“Well, you will become Mr. Walter’s assistant and work with him to collect information about the manor outside the city.”
Assistant...Butler's assistant...Richardson was startled at first, then responded with surprise:
"Yes, sir!"
Reaching this position meant that he had truly broken free from the shackles of the male servant class and climbed up a level!
Walter did not ask about the specific matters of the manor, but carefully arranged for his employer to enter the house, clean and eat.
After all these things were over, when he and the new male servant Enuni were escorting Dwayne Dantès back to the third floor, he asked:
"Sir, are you planning to buy the manor outside Backlund? What are your specific requirements?"
It’s not too expensive… Who knows how long this identity can last… Klein laughed at himself in his heart and said carefully:
"The one with the vineyard and the winery."
After completing the previous arms deal, he had initially established a foothold in Backlund's upper class circle and gained a large amount of wealth, so he had to own a manor. He couldn't wait until autumn and winter came and fail to invite friends to go on vacation or hunting in the suburbs. This was a loss of status and would easily make people look down on him.
The price of a manor outside Backlund was quite expensive. Eight thousand to ten thousand pounds was enough to buy a large manor with a lot of land and rubber trees in places like the Disi Bay, but here all one could ask for was a vineyard, grain production, and a brewery.
"I will collect the information as soon as possible." Butler Walter responded respectfully.
He knew that his employer was tired from the journey, so after briefly reporting on the situation during that time, he left the third floor and started to busy himself with other things. Klein changed his clothes and washed up with the help of his new valet, Enuni.
During this process, Klein, who had already begun to adapt to divinity, couldn't help but complain in his heart:
If the secret doll could not leave a thousand-meter radius, why would I change my personal valet... I am already a rich man, but I still have to serve myself... Oh!
With a sigh, he sent the "winner" Enuni to the next room, walked to the window, looked out at Backlund, whose lights were like reflections of stars, and let his thoughts wander:
Next, my target is Major General Qonas Kilger, Deputy Director of MI9...
The head of the palace guards, Viscount Stratford, can be left to the witch Triss... She has disappeared for a long time, and I don't know what she is busy with, or how she is trying to get close to the viscount... I used the contact method she gave me to tell her that I have other things to do and cannot spare the time for the time being. I have to confirm that I am free and can continue our previous cooperation...
After a while, Klein gathered his thoughts, lay down on the bed, and fell into a deep sleep little by little without the help of meditation.
After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly opened his eyes and noticed someone entering the house at 160 Böklund Street!
Here it comes again... Klein couldn't help but raise his hand and rub his forehead.
On his first day back in Backlund, he was awakened again in the middle of the night.
