The Mystery:The Witch and the Scourge

The purpose of Thomas's trip was accomplished.

From the moment he set foot on the warship returning from Byam to Backlund, he had been hesitating whether he wanted to meet Louise again, but now that he had seen her, the barrier deep in his heart had basically been eliminated. .

After giving kind concerns and reminders, the conversation between the two became more and more lively, as if they had returned to the days when they drank happily and talked about everything.

However, Louise was an unmarried young lady after all, and it was not convenient for Thomas to stay too long, so he took the initiative to say goodbye. It could be said that he came hesitantly and returned happily.

After seeing off the guests, the maid said: "It's rare to see you as happy as you are today."

"Really?" Louise asked curiously: "Am I always acting serious?"

The maid shook her head and explained:

"It's not serious. You have always been a very gentle person, but your smile today is the kind of smile that comes from the heart. I haven't seen you in a long time."

Louise was stunned for a moment when she heard this, then she stretched out her index finger, tapped the maid's forehead affectionately, and said with a smile:

"You are becoming more and more like an 'audience'."

…………

Audrey recently started a new course, a psychology class.

The teacher who teaches her is a well-known psychology expert in Backlund, but he also has a hidden identity, that is, he is a member of the extraordinary organization "Psychological Alchemy Society".

Why haven't you invited me to join the "Psychological Alchemy Society"? I don't really want to study psychology... Audrey pretended to listen carefully on the surface, but in fact she was complaining silently in her heart.

Inadvertently, her eyes glanced at Susie, a big golden retriever dog squatting at her feet. She was wearing a red vest and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose. She was neither noisy nor fussy, looking like a person who was listening attentively. good student.

Audrey suddenly felt ashamed and silently looked away.

After the class was over, when there was only one person and one dog left in the room, Miss Justice asked:

"Susie, do you like psychology knowledge?"

Susie, the big golden retriever dog, nodded and replied:

"I think it's very interesting, more interesting than reading alone."

Well, you are more of an "audience" than me... Audrey blinked slightly and said nothing.

At this time, there was a knock on the door suddenly in the corridor. When she walked in, she found that it was Anne, the maid. She reported:

"Viscount Greent is here and waiting for you in the living room."

"I'll be there soon." Audrey replied, then she tidied up briefly and took Susie to the living room.

It turned out that it was not just Grindt alone, but also Forsi, who should probably be called Miss "Magician" now... Audrey lowered her head subconsciously, glanced at Susie next to her, and then greeted her warmly. Go up:

"Did something happen?"

Viscount Greent couldn't suppress the joy on his face and answered cheerfully:

"Forsi helped me find the 'Medicine Master's' potion formula, and I will soon become an Extraordinary."

"Congratulations." Audrey said equally happily, trying her best to satisfy Grint's vanity, making the smile on the latter's face even brighter.

With a smile, Mr. Viscount said thoughtfully:

"I believe you will also be able to get the 'audience' potion formula soon."

"I hope so." Audrey responded reservedly, and at the same time added in her heart: "Although I am already a Sequence Eight "Mind Reader"."

Then, she turned her gaze to Forsi and asked curiously:

"Why didn't Miss Xio come with you?"

Forsi smiled and replied: "She is currently busy with a bounty mission, and the reward is very generous."

Audrey nodded slightly, and then chatted for a while. Using her "audience" ability, she unsurprisingly noticed that Forsi was hesitant to speak.

Finally, Miss Magician spoke:

"Miss Audrey, I have something to ask you for help."

Here it comes, here it comes... Miss Justice showed appropriate curiosity and replied: "Of course, please tell me."

Forsi's tone contained sufficient expectation, and she earnestly requested:

"I remember that you once collected Russell's notes. I wonder if I can make a copy... I can pay for it."

Of course, it shouldn't be too expensive... She added in her mind that because of the massive purchases at the last Tarot meeting, the royalties accumulated by Miss "Magician" over the years have almost bottomed out.

A mouthful of blood returned to my hand, but I could no longer withstand the torment of the strong wind and waves.

"It's not a big deal and it's not worth much money..."

Hearing Miss Audrey's words that sounded like the sounds of nature, Forsi suddenly became excited, but she seemed to be a little too excited.

Audrey glanced at her, then looked down at the well-behaved golden retriever Susie, and said with some hesitation:

"Originally, it's not impossible to lend you a copy, but Susie was inadvertently locked in the study by the maid two days ago. She tore up a lot of papers and books out of boredom... Those Russell notes are not there.

It was bound into a volume, but Susie accidentally scratched it all and has thrown it away."

Ah, how could this happen... Forsi seemed to hear the sound of heavy rain falling in her mind, which instantly extinguished the fire that had just been ignited in her heart.

Susie, the big golden retriever dog squatting on the ground, fully demonstrated what it means to be "stunned"...

It stood up and barked "woof" twice at Audrey. Then it noticed Audrey's eyes and slowly sat down again.

Forsi glanced at Susie several times and endured the heartache as he said:

"It doesn't matter. I'm just curious anyway. I'll just collect them at the extraordinary gathering in the future."

Audrey smiled apologetically, stretched out her right hand and stroked Susie's head, carefully soothing her emotions.

She was not reluctant to hand over Russell's diary to Forsi, but she had already given those diaries to Mr. Fool. If Forsi submitted it again, it would obviously be a very disrespectful act towards Mr. "Fool".

...Although Mr. Fool has always behaved very gently, he must not doubt the power of a god.

Therefore, for the safety of herself and Forsi, she decided to aggrieve Susie.

This was the countermeasure that Audrey came up with after Louise submitted Russell's diary in public at last week's "Tarot Club".

Well, the "Colorful Lizard Dragon" sent from the Southern Continent will arrive soon, so let's use the opportunity to be promoted to "Mind Reader" to compensate Susie... Audrey has already planned everything.

And this short story is being performed according to her own script, which gives her a deeper understanding of what the real "audience" is.
