Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang

It's another early morning.

Audrey Hall, after having breakfast as usual, took her golden retriever dog Susie, as well as her personal maid and bodyguard, and boarded the Hall family's carriage.

Her schedule has been quite busy recently, no longer for dances or banquets, but as a director of the "Luen Charitable Student Fund" to really do some practical things close to the children at the bottom.

Susie lay obediently in the car. When Audrey reached out to stroke her head, she blinked her watery eyes and briskly shook her big brush-like tail.

Audrey laughed, and then looked out the window. The bicycle bell would occasionally ring in the street, sweeping past people's ears with the same briskness.

Looking out the window of the carriage, one can see the city slowly waking up in the early morning. The streets gradually become full of life from silence.

With her jewel-like eyes filled with a gentle smile, Audrey reviewed her work over the past few days in her mind. She recalled the children she had met during her previous visit to the East District Primary School, and she once again realized what she had arranged. Everything has such special meaning to them.

Just as Audrey was looking out the window in trance, she suddenly caught sight of something unusual inside the carriage.

There is an extra person here, a figure who appears without warning. Except for the wrinkles on his forehead, this old man with all white hair has almost no traces of age on his face. He is wearing a black formal suit, with a meticulous shirt and vest, and a dark red coat. bow tie.

Those light blue eyes, which contain infinite wisdom, are exuding magic power that makes people sink into them, forming whirlpools that absorb people's souls one after another - Hvin Rambis, a member of the Psychological Alchemy Society's Jury.

In front of the demigods of the "audience" path, all "others" are not a problem.

Susie and Audrey's personal maid Anne were nearby, but their eyes became blank, as if they couldn't see the scene at all. They just maintained the previous movements slightly sluggishly, and their eyes lost focus.

Audrey, on the other hand, stared closely into the eyes of Hvin Rambis, losing control of herself in a daze.

Hvin Lambis's gentle and low voice sounded:

"Two things. First, don't you know Forsi and Xio? Make an appointment with them to hypnotize them.

"Second, in the following banquets and dances, I was no longer so resistant to the advances of several princes, and praised them a few words in front of Earl and Lady Hall.

"Remember the above words, this is a reflection of your subconscious. Then, forget that I have been here before. Such behavior is normal and no different from your original behavior. Do not try to seek shelter and stay away from the High Mass of the Night Church. Key location..."

Withdrawing his gaze from Audrey, Hvin Rambis turned his gaze to Anne and others, hypnotizing the others and making them feel that no matter what his young lady did in the future, it was normal behavior and they would not feel guilty about it. Surprised.

After some processing, the "spectator" demigod disappeared inside the carriage without leaving any trace, as if he had never been there from the beginning.

Outside the car window, the "ding" of the bicycle rang again, causing Audrey to come out of her trance. She suddenly exclaimed in a low voice, and then looked at Anne beside her:

"I forgot that I have something else to do. I have to go to Gray Lint's place first."

"Okay, miss."

Because the carriage had not yet left the Queens District and was not far from the Viscount Glaint's Mansion, Anne directly ordered the coachman to turn to the side street.

After a while, Audrey arrived at the Student Aid Foundation on Persfield Street. She came to her own director's office on the second floor.

Personal maid Anne and other servants quickly sorted out the documents and prepared black tea. After rejecting Anne's suggestion to touch up her makeup, Audrey led Susie to the corner of the room. She leaned over and gently stroked Susie's face. Neck, it looks like he is just getting close to his pet dog.

However, Audrey was glancing at the movement in the room with her peripheral vision, and asked Susie in a low voice: "Is there anything unusual about my performance today?"

"Yes," Susie sniffed and lowered her voice as well, "You had no plan to visit Viscount Graylingt when you went out, but you changed your route halfway."

Hvin Rambis is not cautious enough to perform psychological hypnosis on a dog. After all, under normal circumstances, ordinary pets cannot speak at all.

When she heard Susie's answer, the smile on Audrey's face froze for a moment.

——

Klein Point developed a crimson star that was praying. After hearing that Miss Justice suspected that she had seen Hvin Rambis, she immediately pulled her above the gray fog.

The previous scenes on the carriage quickly reappeared in "Justice"'s memory. While she was horrified that she was silently hypnotized, she also sincerely thanked "The Fool". If it weren't for the help of this great being, " Justice” knew he couldn’t recall the episodes at all.

The young lady stood up, held up her skirt, and saluted in the direction of the first person:

"Thank you for protecting me, respected Mr. Fool."

Klein, who was behind the gray mist, smiled and nodded: "Your response was very timely and you handled it well."

"Justice" described his own experience in detail, while "The Fool" didn't say much, and just replied in an understatement:

"This is a test of fate for you."

As the "Fool", it is impossible to analyze and discuss with "Justice", or give her any advice or help, so I can only let "Justice" find a solution on her own.

However, after "Justice" left the gray fog, she quickly thought of another person she could ask for help. She went to the large lounge to look for Mr. Dwayne Dantès, whom she seemed to have seen before.

But this gentleman was not there. According to his valet, M. Dawn Dantès had gone to the bathroom.

After Audrey sat on the single sofa, the skylark with light-colored feathers flew over and stopped at Audrey's hand.

This little bird didn't seem to have much fear of others. It looked at Audrey with its bright eyes and called out to her in a very humane way.

"Um...Hello?" Audrey tried to respond. She remembered that Mr. Dawn's pet was named "Norns".

The skylark jumped twice with joy, and its cheerful expression made Audrey very sure that this little bird should be just like Susie, but Audrey had never heard it speak.

Klein saw Knownes greeting people from the gray fog, and quickly returned to the real world, leaving the bathroom and walking towards the lounge.

When Skylark saw Klein appearing at the door, he immediately spread his wings and flew towards him, landing on his usual shoulder.

After Audrey told her story, Mr. Dawn, who had gray temples, nodded and made another suggestion: "Why not discuss it with those two ladies?"

Just like Mr. "Moon" found everyone a few days ago and asked for everyone's suggestions for rounding up the Rose School of Thought.

Audrey immediately understood the meaning of "the world". She could also apply to "The Fool" and convene a small-scale gathering to seek advice. This would also make it easier for Audrey, Forsi and Xio to cooperate with each other.

One person may not have a clue, but when everyone thinks about it together, they can always come up with some solution.

——

During the lunch break, the small-scale gathering of the Tarot Club was held again.

"Justice", "The Hanged Man", "The Hermit", "The World", "Devil", "Magician" and "Judgement" appeared on the gray fog. After discussion, a short-term decision was made on this matter. Rough planning.

The "Fool" cannot provide too obvious assistance, so a few people will divert the other party's attention from what may be hiding in the dark by going in and out of the Church of the Night and interacting with them.

This made Klein draw the symbol of the crimson moon in his heart. Not only him, but Justice and Judgment, as believers of the goddess of the night, all sweated over such an overly bold idea.

After the action plan was formed, "the world" also promised to provide assistance.

To put on a show, you have to do a complete set. "Justice" simply asked "Magician" and "Judgement" to go to her on Wednesday afternoon. That would make it easier for "Justice" to meet the Archbishop of the Church of the Night in advance in reality.

Everyone dispersed from the gray fog and returned to the real world, except for the "world".

In the hall filled with gray fog, Klein lowered his head. He tapped the armrest of the seat gently, thinking about how he could help in this matter as the "Fool".

Adam, the Twilight Hermits have the characteristic that everything they say must be known, which is really distressing. Even thinking outside of here becomes very dangerous.

Klein subconsciously glanced up. Where the light ball originally hung, there was only a faint rolling gray mist, and there was nothing left.

As soon as the thought occurred, Klein had left the original position of "The World" and appeared on the high-backed chair of "The Fool". The cross named "The Darkless Cross" was placed in his hand.

The investigation by "Magician" and "Judgement" against Viscount Stepford happened unexpectedly and brought them into the battle. There was also a driving force behind it that made everything happen.

After going around in circles, this cross from the ancient sun god was delivered to the hands of "The Fool".

The fragments he had seen before reappeared in Klein's mind again. Only the last bit, about the key that emitted a faint light, made people have doubts.

I'm afraid it's not a normal fragment of memory, but something else was triggered when I was shocked?

Klein put his hand on his chest. There should be no problem with his spirit body. If there was any suspicion, it could only be the gray mist itself.

Is that key related to Zoya?

This is the guess he can make based on everything he knows so far. Except for Zoya, Klein has never seen that kind of discernible light appear in the hands of any being.

By the way, there is also the goddess of the night. And the secret connection between him and Esther is most likely because of Zoya.

I can confirm this since the last time He told me that Norns could be sacrificed to Him.

Klein thought of Norns.

Is it possible to reproduce the key with a light spot on the gray fog?

He felt that the picture was not meaningless, and that the key might be some kind of special medium or bridge.
