Without waiting for the World Gehrman Sparrow to respond, Audrey, who remained sitting upright, slowly spoke a few words:

"heavy……

“Stinging…

"ashamed……"

Klein listened quietly and did not comment on Miss Justice's words. He asked in a gentle tone that was closer to Dwayne Dantes's image:

"Why do you suddenly want to do such a test?"

"It's not a test." Justice Audrey shook her head. "It's just showing some details that I usually hide and avoid, so that you can see clearly what the real me looks like in the eyes of others."

After a pause, she moved the corners of her mouth without a smile and said:

“After our last conversation, I really tried to make a plan, intending to do some manipulation in secret so that the nobles, merchants, the royal family, and the church could come up with enough food.

“This matter, simply speaking, is easy, but when I actually did it, I found that I couldn’t be as resolute and decisive as I imagined.

"Some of them are my uncles and aunts, some are my cousins, some are friends I have known since childhood, some are elders who take good care of me, and some are very friendly people who I often meet at various banquets and charity events. They made up my childhood, gave me so much, and are a part of my growth, carrying my beautiful memories of the past...

“Moreover, the food they stored was not looted, so their explanation actually has some rationality.

"For me to just target them and try to take away some of their wealth, I really can't do it, at least not right now."

When she said these words, Audrey's voice unconsciously became louder, as if she was arguing with someone.

She immediately realized her slight misstep and remained silent for two seconds before continuing:

"So, I want to get to know myself more deeply, strip off the false appearance of warmth, and ask myself what I really want under different gazes. Are my past thoughts impulsive, hypocritical, naive, or strong thoughts from the heart?"

At this point, Audrey, the "Justice", suddenly smiled:

“Although there is no result yet, the attempt itself has brought some extra gains.

“I used to think I followed the rule of ‘you’re just acting’ very closely, but now I realize that I’m almost addicted to acting.

"Unlike other channels, which require me to play different roles and professions, the role-playing part of the 'audience' channel is completely integrated with my daily life, and sometimes it is difficult to distinguish them.

"The simplest example is, who doesn't want to be liked by everyone? So, when I face different people, I will put on different personality masks, and use the ability of the 'audience' path to create an image that best meets the other person's wishes. When this happens more and more, when you do this to everyone, you are actually addicted to 'acting' and are about to lose yourself."

Klein nodded slightly:

“This is a very good harvest.”

He did not comment on Miss Justice's previous remarks.

Audrey was silent for a while, then slowly said:

"I recently re-read the East District investigation report that my father had someone do, and I have a different understanding of many things than before.

“Before the war, many poor people, workers and farmers lived a hard life similar to today, suffering from hunger and pain for a long time. The amendment of the Poor Law, the mandatory regulations on working hours and environment, and the control of air pollution did bring some improvements, but they were only some…

"When the war is over, if, if we defeat Doomsday, will something similar happen again?"

As she spoke, Audrey pursed her lips and fell silent.

Klein could sense Miss Justice's confusion and bewilderment. He considered for a moment and did not speak his mind. He spoke in a low voice:

“You need to find the answers to these questions, including your truest thoughts just mentioned, by yourself. No one else can do it for you.

"I can only give you some advice. Go to the fields and see the farmers working there, go to the factories and see the hard-working workers, go to the East District and experience it in depth, and go to the library and carefully read old newspapers and various related books."

Audrey listened attentively and nodded seriously.

“I’ll try to do it.”

She immediately stood up and bowed to the head of the mottled long table. Although Mr. Fool had left, Audrey believed that He was watching here.

Just as she was waiting for Mr. Fool to send her back to the real world, Gehrman Sparrow, the World, suddenly spoke:

"Wait a moment."

"Hmm?" Audrey "Justice" asked in a nasal voice.

Klein looked at her and materialized a piece of paper:

"This is a description of the personality and behavior of a mythical creature. I hope you can help me analyze how He would react in different situations."

"Okay." Audrey agreed without any hesitation.

After she took the paper and read the contents, Klein considered and said:

"In response to what you just said, I have another suggestion:

"Your doubts and questions are actually divided into two types. Some are indeed very urgent, while others are not so urgent. You can wait for things to calm down before doing a deeper investigation. Well, when people are anxious, they are prone to making mistakes. You'd better distinguish them clearly."

Audrey thought about it and nodded solemnly:

"I see."

After responding, she suddenly laughed:

"I thought you called me at the end to bless me, hoping that after I see all the truth, I will still love this world."

Klein was stunned for a moment, then smiled and asked:

"You seem to have read a lot of Emperor Roselle's novels?"

"He is an outstanding novelist, but also a very complex and contradictory person." Audrey "Justice" said with a smile.

Klein nodded slightly and spoke slowly:

“If I were to bless you, I wouldn’t say that.

"I would say, may you still love your family and friends after you see all the truth."

Audrey was stunned for a moment, her lips moving slightly, as if she was repeating those two words.

After a few seconds, she closed her eyes and said in a slightly hoarse voice:

"Thanks……"

…………

Sonia Sea, Rorsted Archipelago.

The "Blue Avenger" led a pirate fleet, shuttling through the smoke-filled battlefield.

Suddenly, a huge ball of fire flew over from nowhere, and a series of tangled silver-white sharp edges split the sea surface, creating a passage that was originally non-existent. Surrounded by majestic waves on both sides, it pointed directly at the "Blue Avenger".

Alger Wilson, who was standing at the bow, saw this scene and raised his right hand without changing his expression.

A violent tornado suddenly appeared, rolling up the blue sea and the sharp silver edges, making them look like a long snake, rushing straight into the sky and colliding with the huge fireball.

Boom!

The water splashed and fell like rain.

Alger immediately locked onto a warship, opened his mouth, and let out a roar.

With a bang, the ship was lifted into the air by the sudden fierce waves.

Seizing this opportunity, the side guns of the "Blue Avenger" fired automatically, and the rumbling sound continued.

Seeing that the Beyonder on the other side's warship was still trying to use the recoil of the fireball to move the ship sideways, Alger pulled down his right hand suddenly.

A thick silver-white lightning bolt struck down, charring the Extraordinary One's body and causing it to tremble continuously.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

As the shells hit the ship, it disintegrated in mid-air.

At this moment, Alger was a little dazed and couldn't help but lower his head to examine his right hand.

This is the power of the "Disaster Priest", this is the feeling of being half god, half human? He sighed in his heart with a little intoxication, then quickly sobered up and ordered the "Blue Avenger" to chase the enemy.

An hour later, this fierce naval battle ended, and Loen once again secured the Rorsted Islands.

Alger was in a very good mood. After the Blue Avenger returned to the port, he asked the sailors to disembark and go to one of the few bars that were still open for a drink.

——Loen has issued a wartime prohibition order to save food, but alcohol is indispensable to sailors, so in places dominated by the Storm Church, the ban is not enforced too strictly. In addition, the Rorsted Islands are rich in resources, the population is not too large, and the sea transportation lines are under control, so food can still be supplied.

After walking for a distance, Alger's gaze suddenly froze.

The street in front of him was bombarded and many houses had collapsed. Among them, a huge pothole appeared on a concrete playground, and only the ruins of the four-story building next to it were left.

The smile on Alger's face gradually disappeared.

…………

Monday afternoon, 3 o'clock Backlund time.

Deep red rays of light shot up from both sides of the long bronze table and solidified into blurry figures.

After all members had paid their respects to Mr. Fool, the gathering went straight to the transaction phase, as there was no Roselle diary and no accumulated problems.

Emlyn the Moon immediately sat up straight, looked around and said:

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have a commission."

"Which 'Witch King' do you want to hunt?" Cattleya, the Hermit, asked directly based on her understanding of Mr. Moon.

"..." Emlyn took two seconds to digest the other party's question, and said with an elegant smile, "You guessed right."

The Hermit Cattleya nodded slightly and said:

"So what kind of compensation can you offer?"

Emlyn was at a loss for words again, a little embarrassed to say the words he had prepared.

At this moment, Gehrman Sparrow, the “world” at the bottom of the bronze table, suddenly spoke:

"You sought cooperation from the Rose School's Temperance Department?"

Emlyn the Moon secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"right."

“Then I can take this commission.” Because this was the business of Miss Messenger, Miss Sharon, and Maric, Klein manipulated the dummy “world” and took the initiative to accept the order. “Of course, this requires a certain medium.”

Without waiting for Emlyn's response, he asked Gehrman Sparrow to look at Miss Magician and said:

"You should prepare in advance."

? The "magician" Fors, who had been watching the drama throughout, had a dull look on his face.
