After throwing away everything except his clothes, Ernes Boyar was stunned for a moment and then completely sobered up.
What am I doing? What have I done? The blood baron finally remembered what he had deliberately forgotten before, and remembered those clear green eyes.
Psychological suggestion, no, hypnosis... Ernes Boyar looked around with a feeling of half resentment and half uncontrollable fear, and instinctively re-evaluated his situation.
His eyes then fell on the hill-like figure and saw Father Utravsky with sparse and light eyebrows.
In an instant, Ernes Boyar's various thoughts collided with each other and quickly burst out into a strong idea.
He did not resist and shouted directly:
“I’ll come here to volunteer for a month!”
Emlyn's experience had long been spread throughout Backlund's vampire circle. Ernes Boyar had long known about Father Utravsky. He knew that even if he resisted, he would not be able to escape the fate of a volunteer. So he might as well surrender and choose conditions that were more favorable to him.
At least he couldn't be hinted at and couldn't convert to the "Mother Earth Goddess"... Just as this thought flashed through Ernes' mind, he discovered that Father Utravsky was holding a lantern with a strange candle wrapped in human skin and with bumps on it placed inside.
In the dim candlelight, Ernes' pupils dilated again, and only one thought remained in his mind, which he kept repeating:
It's a psychological hint again...
At this moment, he felt that the shadow in his heart was so thick.
"Okay." Father Utravsky nodded and agreed to Ernes Boyar's request.
Emlyn suppressed a smile that was a mixture of pride and joy, and looked at the various items he had just caught, like a farmer who had obtained a good harvest.
…………
In a private room on the third floor of a Sivella-style restaurant in Saint-Hilland Square, the light suddenly dimmed and a large shadow appeared.
Tiny bats flew out from the darkness and quickly gathered together.
Smoke rose up, and Count Mistral with light silver hair and scarlet eyes appeared where the bats had gathered, and everything around him returned to normal.
His servant, the middle-aged man in dark formal attire, stepped forward, saluted and asked:
"Your Excellency, would you like to eat now?"
He could not tell from the count's face whether things were going smoothly or hard, whether the final result was success or failure, but he did not dare to ask.
Mistral nodded slightly and said:
"Can."
He walked to the dining table calmly, took off the sapphire ring, and sat down, without losing any composure, as if he had just gone out to feed the pigeons.
…………
"This tastes strong and strange, but not bad..." In the box next to Count Mistral, Klein, who had an ordinary face, was enjoying and evaluating a dish of lamb offal that was very much in the style of Severus.
Although this punitive action was a cooperative attempt by several members of the Tarot Club and did not require the intervention of The World or even Mr. Fool, Klein considered that Miss Justice and Emlyn the Moon either had no similar experience or were inexperienced, so he quietly came nearby to provide the final guarantee.
He had asked the puppet to pray to The Fool at the dining table, and he went into the private bathroom and came above the gray fog. With the help of the corresponding light spots, he expanded his vision to the entire square and the surrounding area.
At the same time, he always held the "Scepter of Poseidon", ready to send lightning from the sky to stop it immediately if he found anything wrong.
However, he ended up doing nothing, and the whole thing went even more smoothly than he expected:
It goes without saying that "Star" Leonard, who had rich combat experience, performed exceptionally well. Miss "Justice", who was participating in this kind of thing for the first time, also performed beyond his imagination. She was not nervous at all and showed no signs of panic!
That’s right. A Sequence 6 from the Spectator pathway is definitely better at controlling his emotions than most mid- and low-sequence people from different pathways. Even if he really has something uneasy, he can rely on his Beyonder abilities to resolve it before taking action... Klein nodded slightly and continued to taste other delicacies.
Outside the window, on Saint-Hilaryn Square, the sounds of flutes, violins, accordions and lyres were intertwined and overlapping, drifting away in the air.
…………
On St. Hiran Square, a hackney carriage slowly passed around the edge.
Leonard Mitchell, who was about to return to the north bank of Backlund Bridge, glanced at the white pigeons in the center of the square and suddenly lowered his voice and said:
"Old man, do you think this operation will be successful in the end?"
After dragging Ernes Boyar into the dream, he flipped through "Lemanno's Travel Notes", activated "Angel's Embrace", and left the scene in a carriage. It was unclear whether the subsequent developments were smooth.
In his mind, Pales Zoroast replied unhappily:
"In the Fourth Age, there was a saying: 'Believe in the power of the gods.'"
This means that since this matter has been tacitly approved by Mr. Fool, it will definitely succeed? However, the old man still doesn’t know enough about the Tarot Club. Mr. Fool is just a witness most of the time, without any so-called tacit approval... Leonard muttered in his heart and changed the subject:
“Why does this proverb feel unfinished?”
He did not tell Pallez Zoroast the specifics of the Tarot Club, but only mentioned it in general terms and relayed what Mr. Fool agreed to.
Pales said, “Hey!”
"Indeed, there is also the second half of the sentence, 'Do not trust in our kindness'."
Believe in the power of the gods, don't believe in their mercy... Leonard repeated it silently several times, looking down at the notebook with a hard copper-green cover in his hand.
He then whispered with emotion:
"This is truly comparable to a '1' level seal, and the solution to its negative effects is also very simple."
Before this operation, considering that the "Moon" domain also has some dark authority, and that the Beyonders of this path will have a strong resistance to nightmare-like influences at a certain level, Leonard originally wanted to borrow "Creeping Hunger" directly from "World" Klein Moretti, but in the subsequent discussion, Miss "Magician" mentioned the characteristics of this "Lemanno Travel Notes", which gave him a better choice.
Therefore, he, who was originally responsible for using "Angel's Embrace", borrowed "Creeping Hunger" from Klein for three hours and recorded several useful extraordinary abilities, including "Bribery Weakness".
"This belongs to the Abraham family." Pales Zoroastrian said with some emotion.
Leonard already knew this, nodded slightly, and asked:
"Old man, do you have any way to reduce or control the negative effects of the magical item I mentioned earlier?"
"Can that be called a magical item? It's something that needs to be sealed!" Pales first lectured Leonard, then said, "Didn't you say it has the property of being alive? That's relatively easy to solve."
Leonard relaxed and looked out the window again, admiring the Cathedral of St. Hilleran, some of which were very close to the factory.
…………
In front of the "Luen Charity Student Aid Fund" on Pestfield Street in the North District where St. Samuel's Church is located.
Audrey, who had changed her clothes and looked like an ordinary girl, got off the carriage.
She had already removed her newsboy disguise in the hotel room that she had prepared in advance, and that room was booked by Emlyn and had nothing to do with her.
At this time, several people were coming and going at the door of the "Loen Charity Student Aid Fund", but Audrey walked past without hesitation.
No one looked at her, as if she lived in another world.
Audrey walked briskly through the hall, up to the second floor, and headed towards her own director's office. Everyone she met along the way seemed to be playing a game with her, pretending not to see her, and not at all surprised at what a strange girl was doing here.
At the office door, Audrey was about to open the door and enter when she suddenly heard a familiar voice inside:
"Ms. Audrey, this is the total amount of donations you have collected this week..."
Audrey couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth slightly, and she gently pushed the half-open door and walked in.
Inside the office, a staff member was holding a stack of documents and showing them to the person behind the desk.
The person behind the desk is a big golden retriever with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses hanging around its neck.
It sat in the director's seat, flipped through the documents casually, and said to the staff:
"no problem."
The staff member immediately took back the documents and smiled at the golden retriever:
"Then I'm out, Miss Audrey."
Audrey behind her suppressed her laughter, walked to the sofa next to her and sat down, watching her leave quietly without disturbing the big golden retriever who was reading another document.
Susie read various materials carefully, fearing that there would be problems with her performance and that it would affect Audrey's affairs.
After a long while, she suddenly looked around with some doubt:
"Audrey, are you back?"
"How did you find out?" Audrey stood up from the sofa and appeared in Susie's eyes.
In preparation for this operation, she had a special meeting with Susie, asking her to replace her at the "Loen Charity Student Aid Fund". Then, she took the big golden retriever and hypnotized the staff members who would come into contact with her in a day, asking them to mistake Susie for Audrey.
As for possible visitors, she told the staff that they would only come in the afternoon.
The signal to end the hypnosis this time was the church bells at 2 p.m.
After seeing Audrey, Susie jumped off her chair and said helplessly:
"It's almost two o'clock."
That's right... Audrey made a face at herself in her heart, and quickly went into the small rest room, changed into her own clothes, and used the ability of "lie" to control fire to burn off her previous disguise.
Returning to the office and sitting at her own seat, she completely relaxed, clasped her hands together and lightly pressed them against her lips.
To be honest, she was very nervous the whole time, but she successfully "calmed" herself before and after the action and did not make any mistakes.
Looking back now, it was quite interesting, and we also discussed how to compensate those affected... Audrey, well done! The beautiful blonde girl's smile gradually blossomed and became brighter.
After this incident, she found that she had digested a lot of her "Hypnotist" potion, and she was also sure of one thing, that is, the "bribery charm" ability of the magical item "Hand of Fear" was a perfect match with her "hypnosis"!
Well, I also found out that Mr. "Moon" is called Emlyn White... He didn't want to hide it, because he had to tell me, otherwise he couldn't achieve his goal... Well, or give the name of the church, but that would also expose his identity... I was still a little nervous. I was too stiff during hypnosis and even used the too direct words "first level hypnosis"... Audrey "calmed" her slightly excited emotions and carefully reviewed the entire process of today's action, hoping to learn experience and lessons from it.
Ding! Ding!
The hour bells of St. Samuel's Church rang, marking the arrival of two o'clock in the afternoon.
At No. 22 Pacefield Street, where the "Loune Charity Student Aid Fund" is located, several staff members trembled slightly after hearing the bell, and then continued to work as if nothing had happened.
…………
Ding! Ding!
Amid the ringing of church bells, Klein, who had transformed back into Dwayne Dantes, walked to the large balcony of 160 Böklund Street again and looked out at the Macht family.
At this time, a carriage passed by the door of his mansion and drove to the other end of the street.
Suddenly, Klein's intuition was triggered, and a picture appeared in his mind:
A gray mouse was lying on the carriage window, leisurely looking at the street scenery.
