Chapter 358 Audrey Betrays Class
In the hearts of Audrey, Fors, and Hugh, the mysterious "Mr. World" has always been highly regarded and appreciated.
It wasn't just because Mr. World was Mr. Fool's benefactor, but also because of his natural interactions with Evan and the high level of his involvement in matters.
But today they all felt that they had underestimated this member of the Tarot Club.
It should be noted that none of the extraordinary traits presented by Mr. "World" were low-sequence traits; one of them was even a sequence 5 extraordinary trait.
This is the highest rank below demigod. You should know that at least half of the high-ranking members of the Church of the Righteous God are not demigods, but rank 5. Even the pirate generals who roam the seas are at this level.
But now, a Sequence 5 extraordinary property has been brazenly placed on the trading list by Mr. "World".
Although Audrey and the others knew that as the Tarot Club members rose through the ranks, the materials they traded would become increasingly sophisticated, they still felt a sense of disorientation and even fear when that day suddenly arrived.
"I wonder where Mr. 'World' got so many extraordinary properties. If these are all his spoils of war, then it's truly astonishing!"
Audrey had already begun to select in her mind what kind of extraordinary qualities she needed.
"That extraordinary characteristic of a 'psychologist' should be extracted and used as the main material when Susie is promoted."
Hmm, I wonder how Susie's "Mind Reader" potion is progressing? I haven't been paying much attention to it lately.
Audrey thought about how Susie had digested the 'Audience' pathway potion much faster than she had, and suddenly felt that she hadn't cared about Susie enough. She should have found the relevant materials for Susie a long time ago.
"That 'Faceless Man' extraordinary ability seems interesting, and I really want to get that Sequence 5 'Light Priest' extraordinary ability."
Unfortunately, I don't have much money left. Even without compensating Mr. World for the prize money he deserves, I'm still short on cash.
I won't be able to control any property until at least the end of the year after my coming-of-age ceremony, and I don't even know if this "Rite of Light" will be sold before then!
Audrey really wanted to buy all the extraordinary properties in Klein's possession, but after assessing her current financial situation, she could only helplessly accept reality.
At the same time, she secretly glanced at Fors and Hugh beside her, who were also eager to try. Considering their financial resources, she felt that they probably wouldn't go bankrupt for an extraordinary trait that had nothing to do with her promotion. She felt a little relieved and thought that she still had a chance.
"I'm willing to help you gather relevant information, and I also hope to obtain the extraordinary characteristics you mentioned regarding the 'Faceless Man' and the 'Psychotherapist.'"
This was the first time Audrey had experienced the feeling of not having any money when buying things, and this helplessness was truly maddening.
This was a completely new experience for her as well.
When Fors and Hugh heard Audrey's trade request, they breathed a sigh of relief. Although they coveted the extraordinary traits of the "Faceless Man" and the "Psychotherapist," the extraordinary traits of the "Living Man" and the "Werewolf" would be more useful to them.
The extraordinary characteristics associated with the Rose School can be handed over to MI9 to earn more merits. This is because, according to MI9's standards, the Rose School members are a group of fearless spies who pose a greater hidden threat to the Kingdom of Rune and are therefore a key target.
Moreover, they already knew Audrey's identity and wealth, and were well aware that they could not compare with her. As long as Audrey did not take all these extraordinary qualities away, they could accept it.
"We also agree to help you gather relevant information, and even provide some cover and cooperation."
We want all the extraordinary properties related to the Rose School that you possess.
But in return, you'll have to give us a discount!
Klein's payment for asking Audrey to gather information was offset against the debt Audrey owed him for the Zeilingus bounty.
Therefore, Audrey must pay the full amount if she wants to acquire Extraordinary Characteristics.
Since Fors and Hugh didn't owe Klein anything, they naturally demanded a corresponding discount.
Klein, of course, had no objection to this condition and stated very directly:
"I can give you a 30% discount. You can contact me to do business anytime, as long as the transaction is completed before the end of the year."
Klein knew that Fors and Hugh were not wealthy, and it was unrealistic for them to raise a large sum of money in a short time, so he considerately gave them time to raise the money.
Klein then said to Miss Justice, Audrey:
"I think you want the Faceless Man's extraordinary characteristics because you want to turn them into useful magical items, right?"
I know a very skilled craftsman who can provide custom services for you; it will cost approximately 1000 gold pounds!
Klein wanted to use his connection with Catherine Grey to get help from the "craftsman" behind her.
Catherine Grey offered Klein a discounted price of 500 gold pounds per session, but Klein doubled that price for Audrey.
It wasn't that Klein was greedy, but rather that he was desperate for money and couldn't let go of any opportunity to earn cash. Moreover, he believed that the services of the demigod-level 'craftsman' would be absolutely worth more than what Miss 'Justice' needed.
"An extremely powerful 'craftsman'?"
Audrey silently repeated the adjective Klein used to describe her.
What kind of "craftsman" can be described as "extremely powerful" in Mr. World's eyes?
Sequence 5 "Craftsman", or "
Audrey understood Klein's implication, but was also startled, yet at the same time felt a surge of excitement.
"If the 'craftsman' mentioned by Mr. 'The World' is indeed a demigod, then it must be related to Mr. 'The Fool.' This might mean that the Tarot Association won't have to worry about magical items with minimal side effects in the future!"
Thinking of this, Audrey said without the slightest hesitation:
"Then I'll trouble you, Mr. 'World,' I can prepare the money and complete the transaction in the next couple of days!"
Fors and Hugh watched Audrey's deal with envy, and were grateful to Mr. "World" for giving them time to raise the money.
"I have a question. Mr. 'Power' clearly has more influence in the real world, helping you gather all sorts of information, and it's obvious you two have a good relationship. Why didn't you invite him to today's gathering?"
After Audrey and "The World" completed their transaction, Hugh raised a question that she found strange. After all, one Evan could perfectly replace the energy of the three of them, so why did "The World" go to such lengths and go to such lengths?
Klein paused for a moment upon hearing this, then said:
"Because Mr. 'Power' himself, or those around him, are very likely to be directly involved in this government-led looting, asking him for help might put him in a difficult position. Besides, he has his own things to do lately, so I won't bother him this time!"
After hearing Klein's explanation, Audrey felt saddened. In fact, by agreeing to "the world's" request, she had also put herself in a dilemma. It was only because she was not yet an adult and did not have as many burdens as Evan that she had a slight hesitation.
Although Audrey understood that her future situation would become increasingly difficult, that the days ahead would be increasingly painful, and that she might experience great inner turmoil, she also believed that she would never regret her decision today.
Her decision to help Mr. World was not an impulsive one, but the result of several hours of careful consideration.
Six hours have passed since the routine tarot reading at 6 PM ended, and Audrey still hasn't shaken off the complex emotions she's experiencing about the truth behind the Backlund riots, to the point that everyone in her family has noticed her unusual behavior.
She simply handed the food to Tang, claiming she wasn't feeling well.
The reason she was able to respond quickly to Klein's request to meet, despite the grand banquet at Earl Hall's mansion tonight, was because she was currently resting alone in her bedroom.
For the past few hours, Audrey had been in a state of great distress, wavering and conflicted.
Klein's suggestion was actually the final straw that broke the camel's back in her heart, making her completely determined to make her choice.
After all, if there's an opportunity to save more people but you don't take it, then what's the difference between you and those bastards she despises?
At this moment, Audrey chose to betray her class.
At the same time, Audrey also solidified her mental image of "Mr. World".
Mr. World is a person who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside, and has a very soft heart.
After hearing what "The World" said, Fors and Hugh, from a friend's perspective, agreed with his reasons for not letting Evan participate.
Hugh is even more convinced that the relationship between "The World" and Evan is definitely not ordinary, and that there is definitely a private friendship between them.
Klein and his group then discussed holding a small meeting every two days in the gray fog and made arrangements for their respective actions.
After an hour-long conversation, they finally finalized the details of their future actions, then bowed again to Mr. Fool's empty seat and left the gray fog.
After waking up in his apartment, Klein meditated for a while to recover his tired spirit. Then, he quickly put on his coat and rushed to the Harvest Church in the southern part of the bridge that very night.
In the entire project, Father Utravsky's "Harvest Church" was the final and most crucial part.
Only the "Harvest Church" could truly realize Klein's hard-earned results, so the support of Father Utravsky was crucial.
However, Klein was quite confident in persuading this former pirate who had killed countless people. He had been subdued and converted by the Earth Mother Goddess and was a follower of the Earth Mother Goddess, absolutely loyal to her.
Klein's proposal was extremely beneficial to the spread of the faith by the Church of the Earth Mother in the Kingdom of Rune; it could even be described as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Klein believed that the priest would not let this go so easily!
Audrey stood on the balcony in her pajamas, gazing at the red moon in the sky, without saying a word.
"Audrey, what's wrong with you today? Did something bother you?"
After an unknown amount of time, a clear and melodious voice suddenly came, asking Audrey with concern.
Audrey looked down at the sound and found that it was indeed her good friend, the golden retriever Susie, sitting at her feet, looking at her with a worried expression.
Audrey took a deep breath, very unladylike squatted down, hugged Susie's neck, buried her face in Susie's golden hair, and didn't move.
Susie also thoughtfully squatted down there, letting Audrey hug it tightly.
After a while, Audrey released her arms from Susie and said with a smile:
"Thank you, Susie, thank you for being by my side, and I have some good news to tell you."
The main ingredients for the potion for your next sequence, "Psychotherapist," have been located and should be available in the next couple of days.
By the way, how's your "Mind Reader" potion digesting?
Upon hearing the good news, Susie grinned and excitedly said:
"I've been trying to understand people's inner thoughts, and I've even tried to understand the inner thoughts of 'Jack,' 'Wendy,' and 'Tom.'"
So I finished digesting the "Mind Reader" potion a month ago!
Jack, Wendy, and Tom are all names of Audrey's horses, and Susie's "mind-reading" ability is clearly much broader than Audrey's.
"Susie's digestion speed is faster than mine again. If it weren't for the limitations of potion ingredients, she'd probably be a 'psychologist' by now."
Audrey once again marveled at how quickly Susie digested the potion, and then said:
"That's perfect. Fortunately, the supplementary materials for 'Psychotherapist' aren't hard to collect, and with what I had left over from making potions last time, you can advance directly once you get the main materials!"
Susie was also overjoyed at her upcoming promotion and was speechless. In the end, she could only excitedly bark.
Recovering from the joy of her impending promotion, Susie suddenly sensed something was amiss and quickly asked:
Did you get this "psychologist" main material from that organization called "Psychological Alchemy Society"?
Didn't you say this organization is dangerous and can't include the fact that you've become a 'psychologist,' and that you have to pretend to be an 'spectator' who has just stepped into the extraordinary world?
After Audrey's training, Susie now understands exactly what the Extraordinary World is all about, and is somewhat worried that Audrey was tricked by the Psychological Alchemy Society to obtain this material.
"I didn't get this material from the 'Psychological Alchemy Society,' but from another source, so you don't need to worry about me—"
Before Audrey could finish speaking, she noticed the bedroom door handle had been turned, and her personal maid, Annie, quietly entered.
Anne saw Audrey and walked over to her, saying:
"I noticed Susie wasn't outside and I was worried it would affect your rest."
As she spoke, she prepared to put the leash around Susie's neck and take Susie away.
Susie deftly turned her neck and broke free from Annie's grasp.
"No need, Annie. Have someone help me with my makeup. I need to go downstairs to see the guests."
Audrey stopped Anne from doing anything further and then gave instructions.
"I saw my uncles, aunts, maternal grandparents, maternal uncles, aunts-in-law, and maternal aunts-in-law—"
Say hello to them and ask how they've been doing lately!
