Backlund, at the home of furniture merchant Hampres.

Audrey once again met Hvin Rambis, a member of the Psychological Alchemist Council.

The old gentleman was still gentle and elegant, with his thick white hair combed neatly and his deep blue eyes seemed to contain countless knowledge.

When she saw him, Audrey's eyes were confused at first, then enlightened, as if she had finally woken up from a long dream and recovered her lost memories.

But she was not surprised or shocked by this. She accepted this fact without any resistance, as if it was a very normal thing.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Rambis." Audrey greeted him with perfect etiquette.

Hewin nodded slightly and responded with a smile:

"Good afternoon, our girl."

During the several meetings over the past month, he gradually guided Audrey to position herself as "the pride of the Psychological Alchemy Society" and "the most important girl."

Audrey lowered her head and glanced at the diamond brooch in front of her. She found a seat and sat down with a smile, waiting for Hvin Rambis to speak.

As for the so-called hints and guidance, she was always prepared and was not affected at all. At this moment, when she heard Hvin Rambis's name, she wanted to roll her eyes without caring about her image, etiquette, or fear of being exposed, but she finally held back and didn't show any trace.

Hvin Rambis looked at Audrey for a few seconds and said with an undiminished smile:

"You have done a good job during this period. As a reward, we decided to give you the potion formula of 'Dream Walker'."

As he spoke, he took out a neatly folded piece of paper from his jacket pocket, placed it on the coffee table, and pushed it to the noble girl sitting diagonally opposite him.

Audrey pressed down her skirt with her hands, stood up slightly, took the paper, and unfolded it in front of Hvin Rambis.

Her eyes first fell on the main material, and then quickly slid to the ritual part:

"Main ingredients: a heart of a dream catcher, a crystal of a mind phantom, or a complete brain of an adult mind dragon."

…

"Ritual: Find the human-headed bird demon in the spirit world, sign a contract with it, then take one of its tail feathers and take the potion in a state of intense joy or anger."

As if noticing Audrey's doubts, Hvin Rambis smiled and explained:

"The bird demon has the power of nightmares and can wake people up from their dreams. Therefore, the essence of the whole ritual is to use an external force to pull you out of your dream when you are immersed in it and don't want to wake up. Otherwise, you may fall into a deep sleep forever, or you may lose control and turn into a monster on the spot."

Audrey nodded thoughtfully:

"Taking the potion in a state of intense emotion is also to make oneself sleep uneasily and have a shallow dream?"

"Yes, you have grasped the key." Hvin Rambis said with a smile, "If you don't know much about the spirit world and can't find the human-headed bird demon, we can provide some help."

If the essence of the ritual is to wake me up from my dream, then I don’t necessarily need a bird with a human head. The blessing of the angel Mr. Fool can keep me awake in my dream, and I can wake up whenever I want... Audrey’s eyes turned slightly, revealing a little expectation, and she said:

"I can try it myself first."

"Okay." Herwin didn't care much about the girl's desire to take an adventure.

He paused, then said:

"This time I have another task for you to do. If you complete it well, we will provide all the materials for the Dream Walker potion."

"What's the matter?" Audrey asked without any resistance, as usual.

Hvin Rambis's expression became slightly more serious.

"Find out how your father, Earl Hall, the current Duke of Nigan, Admiral Amyrius and other nobles feel about a larger war."

"War..." Audrey repeated this often heard yet slightly unfamiliar word, vaguely feeling as if ripples suddenly appeared beneath the calm lake surface.

…………

"War..." Above the gray fog, Klein listened to Miss Justice's prayer and fell into deep thought.

He was currently unable to determine whether the Psychological Alchemy Society, or Hermes behind them, or even Adam, welcomed or opposed the war.

As for whether King Rune, the Prime Minister, and some nobles and parliamentarians want war, the answer is relatively clear.

Last year, The Hanged Man asked Miss Justice a similar question, and her answer was that the King and the Prime Minister had a tendency to go to war, but chose to make internal changes first and sort out relationships in all aspects.

Now, almost a year has passed, and the various policies introduced at that time have basically been put on track.

In other words, it was time to start a war to regain the interests that Loen had lost in East Balam!

Now is an era of change. Internal conflicts in various countries are intense. Once a war starts, the extent of it will most likely be out of control... In addition, Angel Kings such as Adam and Amon have returned one after another. Some have obtained key items, while others are seeking breakthroughs. The mysterious world is also facing a storm, and crises are lurking... Klein sighed and returned to the real world.

The next day, according to the planned itinerary, he first went to St. Samuel's Church to pray and donated several dozen pounds in cash, and then came to No. 22 Pacefield Street, intending to participate in some affairs of the "Roen Charity Scholarship Fund".

As soon as he entered the door, Klein saw Miss Audrey Hall and several foundation staff members coming downstairs and heading towards the door.

The noble girl was dressed very simply today, with her hair simply tied up and no accessories on. Her dress was light green with only a circle of ruffles on the cuffs, but no lace or tassels.

"Good morning, Miss Audrey." Klein took off his hat skillfully, bowed, nodded to the staff, and said good morning.

After Audrey responded, Klein asked casually:

"Where are you going?"

He knew that Miss Justice's main job in the foundation was to raise funds from gentlemen and ladies in upper society.

Audrey smiled and responded:

“Visit various universities and care for the students I helped before.”

At this point, she blinked and her smile became more obvious:

"Mr. Dantes, do you want to go with me? Let's go and see those children who have the opportunity to change their fate because of your ideas and kindness. Some of them are already young adults."

Although Klein had never thought about getting any return from the "Loen Charity Student Aid Fund", he sincerely hoped that it could help the target group. Therefore, he was still quite concerned about the current actual progress and the real situation. After a little hesitation, he smiled and nodded:

“It was an invitation I couldn’t refuse.”

They went out and, at Miss Audrey's suggestion, chose a trackless public carriage.

"You seem to be used to it?" After getting in the carriage, Klein asked Miss Audrey to sit down first like a gentleman, then sat opposite her and asked with a smile.

Audrey looked at the nearby foundation staff and said with a smile:

“It’s not the first time. It’s impossible for me to ride in my own carriage every time I go out. They should use public transportation.

Having said this, she paused a little embarrassedly and said:

"The first time I took this kind of public carriage, I took out a pound note and the lady who collected the money asked me to get off and buy a few newspapers before coming back.

"Well, it's cleaner in here than I thought, and the smell in the air isn't too unbearable."

Klein nodded slightly and said:

"Because the truly poor people rarely take this kind of public transportation. They would rather walk, and under normal circumstances, they don't have to go, and they can't go too far."

"Mr. Dantes, you seem very familiar with these?" Although Audrey guessed the reason, she still asked this question in front of others.

Klein smiled and said:

“I haven’t experienced it directly, but I’ve seen a lot.”

Audrey did not continue the topic and instead talked about the beneficiaries whose study and living conditions needed to be confirmed this time.

While chatting, they arrived at the first stop of this visit, Backlund University of Technology.

Based on Audrey's identity and Dwayne Dantes's social connections, they directly met the president of the newly established university, Mr. Portland Momont, a resident of 100 Böklund Street.

The old man was tall, ruddy-complexioned and had a loud voice. He talked with his good neighbor Dwayne Dantes and the distinguished Miss Audrey about the various things that had happened since the establishment of the school, and complained about the Higher Education Committee from time to time.

Audrey and Klein listened with a proper smile, occasionally echoing the words.

Finally, they found an opportunity and proposed to start work.

Portland was about to call his secretary in when he heard someone knock on his office door.

"Come in," the principal responded loudly.

The door opened without any noise, and a girl with black hair and brown eyes came in. She was not dressed up, had a thin face, and regular features. She looked about seventeen or eighteen years old.

Klein's gaze suddenly deepened as he looked over there, then he retracted it.

The girl didn't expect there would be a guest in the principal's office. She was a little nervous and hurriedly lowered her head and said:

"Excuse me."

"It's okay. They're getting ready to leave." Portland said nonchalantly, "Have you finished the item I asked you to make last week?"

"It's done." The girl walked through the door and stood aside.

Portland Momont then smiled at Dwayne Dantes and Audrey:

"Her name is Melissa Moretti. She is very talented in mechanics. I discovered her by chance and asked her to help in my laboratory after school. Of course, she can only do odd jobs at the moment."

“Not bad.” Klein praised with a smile on his face, the corners of his mouth curled up.

Audrey glanced at him and smiled:

"There are always some arrogant guys who say women don't have a talent for mechanics, but this lady has proven them wrong."

Portland smiled and shook his head:

"There's no need to pay attention to those remarks. Okay, I'll ask my secretary to take you to learn about the situation of those recipients."

Audrey and Klein left the office without staying.

After leaving the door, Audrey looked at Dwayne Dantès again but said nothing.
