Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery
#21 - Backlund's Current Situation
Only after confirming that both attackers were dead did Audis sit down on a wooden chair in the yard to rest.
At this moment, he suddenly realized that the gunshots hadn't disturbed the surrounding people, not even the neighbor's dog had barked.
Ailiya had almost recovered, and she entered the yard and said, "These two enemies came to kill you. I rushed over immediately after receiving the news. Fortunately, you were strong enough to defeat them all."
Actually, the original plan was for her to rescue Audis and make this herbalist owe her a big favor.
After all, she was very clear about how weak the combat power of a 'Seer' was, but what she didn't expect was that the 'Seer' in front of her didn't need her rescue at all.
Audis felt that the dead 'Combat Scholar' in front of him looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him. He looked at Ailiya: "They attacked me because of you, right?"
Ailiya's eyes flickered slightly: "Maybe."
Audis got up, not intending to pursue the matter. He went to the shop in front and asked, "I hope there won't be a second time for this kind of encounter."
"No, there will definitely be no more!" Ailiya said immediately: "Today, this organization has suffered a heavy blow. I guess they won't dare to come to Backlund for a while."
Arriving at the shop, the two saw Bernadette, who had chestnut-colored long hair and was wearing a cake dress, sitting in a chair by the window.
Ailiya immediately bowed and said, "Your Majesty!"
In fact, Bernadette had said many times that everyone could just call her "Your Highness," but these subordinates thought she was just being polite and kept calling her "Your Majesty." Later, Bernadette was too lazy to say it again.
At this time, in the herbalist shop, Ailiya was secretly a little surprised that she hadn't seen the Queen show up for a long time.
Audis pointed to the 'Seer' at the door and said, "Could you please not involve innocent and good citizens in your plans in the future?"
Bernadette smiled and said, "If it weren't for me, you would have been caught by them long ago."
Audis didn't continue the topic, but went to the cabinet, took out a bottle of potion, and placed it on the counter: "Who wants to help?"
As he spoke, he lifted his shirt, revealing a large bruise on his back, which was caused by the 'Combat Scholar' kicking him just now.
Ailiya hurried forward, as she couldn't possibly let the Queen do this kind of thing.
But as soon as she took two steps, the potion floated up by itself, the lid opened, poured out some, spread out in the air, and then applied it to the bruise on Audis's back.
That was Bernadette's 'Invisible Servant'.
Audis grimaced: "Your hands are so cold."
Sitting in the chair, Bernadette smiled and said, "I originally thought you were just a contact of the Church of Steam and Machinery, but I didn't expect you to be a very strange person.
"After further investigation, I learned that you are the behind-the-scenes boss of 'Nanmu Ballroom', the so-called Mr. Gehr."
"I'm very curious, if you really want to help those women, why would you still let them be streetwalkers, instead of letting them make a living in other ways?"
"If you don't want to help them, but are willing to create an environment for them where they are free from extortion and disease?"
After the 'Invisible Servant' helped apply the potion, it disappeared. Audis adjusted his clothes: "Did someone tell you I'm a good person?"
If he had transmigrated to ancient times in China, Audis would definitely not have done such business, but this is a mysterious world that he is relatively unfamiliar with. Facing the streetwalkers everywhere, he doesn't feel much psychological pressure anymore.
This made Bernadette slightly stunned: "No, no one did."
She originally thought that Audis would defend himself, but she didn't expect the other party to be so confident.
Audis put away the potion: "Don't you think that being a streetwalker is a dirty profession? Do you think they have fallen to their current situation because they are lazy and their minds are degenerate?
"Hehe, this world simply doesn't give them many choices."
Audis sat inside the counter and continued: "In the past, I also felt that doing flesh trade was shameful, and believed that by relying on my own efforts, I could definitely live the happy life I wanted.
"It wasn't until three years ago, when I moved from the suburbs to the city of Backlund, that I suddenly realized that there were only three ways to rise in this society: become a Beyonder; venture to the Southern Continent; become a mistress of a big shot."
Bernadette slowly nodded: "I have time today, tell me in detail."
"Unless you join an evil organization, becoming a Beyonder is out of reach for ordinary people." Audis counted with three fingers: "Venturing to the Southern Continent is something only men can do, and half of them will die for no reason.
"Then, as far as this world is concerned, it seems that there is only one path left for women. Don't talk about knowledge changing destiny.
"In the East End, even if a family does everything they can to send a child to grammar school, most of them will still be very different from middle-class children in terms of knowledge. When looking for a job in the future, they will still be at a disadvantage.
"Often, their wages are not as good as loading and unloading goods at the dock, but because they have learned knowledge, they are unwilling to do those physical jobs again."
Audis took out his pipe, but didn't fill it with tobacco: "Knowledge has already been monopolized.
"The knowledge that ordinary people learn will only make them better at being competent ordinary people."
Ailiya on the side was slightly stunned, not expecting the topic to suddenly become so profound.
Without exception, a first, a first, an inner, a capacity, a look!
Bernadette gave Audis a new evaluation in her heart: This is a sober person.
Most people in this world don't know why they have to go through those hardships, because they are not sober enough to observe this world calmly.
However, her expression still didn't change much: "What are your plans?"
Audis raised the pipe in his hand: "Do you two ladies mind?"
Bernadette waved her hand slightly, and Ailiya also shook her head.
Audis filled the pipe with tobacco and asked, "What plans?"
"You see the disadvantages of this society, what are your plans?" Bernadette asked.
Under the influence of her father's words and deeds, it seems like a matter of course to take action when you discover the disadvantages of society.
"What plans can I have?" Audis lit the pipe with a match, took a puff, and repeated: "I'm just a Sequence 9, what plans can I have?
"A powerhouse like you, what are your plans for the current social order?"
The keynote of this world is extraordinary power, which is the root cause of class solidification. Those who control extraordinary power are always the rulers, and ordinary people are always the ruled.
Knowledge and effort can't break the shackles of this world, and a Sequence 9 can't break it either.
Bernadette suddenly smiled: "You're right, I can't change this world as I please either."
Then she got up and said, "Ailiya will be your contact person between you and us. When you have any ideas, you can contact me. Perhaps, I can help you."
This is the purpose of her visit tonight. Since Audis has a hidden existence protecting him, and she can't force him to join 'Dawn of Elements', then she should maintain close contact.
At the same time, the conversation just now made Bernadette decide that she should investigate Audis further. This is a very interesting young man.
Thanks to [Book Friend 20191130195154094] for the reward.
